Under the cover of night, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, which are not much larger than ordinary seabirds, are difficult to detect even if military radar is used, not to mention that there is no military radar on the island at all, and the island itself is also one of the islands with the largest variety and number of large seabirds.

About fifteen minutes later, the unmanned reconnaissance plane successfully reached the target and began to fly around the island, and the picture was quickly transmitted.

The lightning belt put on the display eyepiece, connected to the "North Star", and after a few seconds of snowflakes, the situation on the island continued to be revealed.

The clarity of the picture is not bad, but it is a little trembling, but considering the small size of the UAV reconnaissance aircraft and the full weight of less than ten kilograms, in the dark, stormy night, at an altitude of 1000 meters, such a picture can still be transmitted, Lei Dong still can't help but give 10,000 likes to the military industry of the Republic in his heart.

The drone made a big circle along the periphery of the island and flew towards the interior of the island under the remote control of Song Jingang. With only one drone working, the reconnaissance was much slower than initially expected, but after only a dozen minutes, the island was in full view.

Before boarding the plane to Saint Emperor Guangming Island, Lei Dong had already learned about the situation of this island with his comrades.

This small island, which originally belonged to the archipelagic country of the Republic of Kibaris, once had excellent tourism resources, but more than 20 years ago, due to global warming, the ice of the Antarctic ice continent began to melt, resulting in rising sea levels, the average altitude of the island was less than 15 meters, once rumored to be completely submerged, and the then President of the Republic of Kibaris, President Tanoa, actually believed this statement, forced more than 1,400 residents of the island to relocate, the original infrastructure, including the airport, The docks were all abandoned.

Since then, this small island, which once attracted thousands of tourists and scientific expeditions with the strange sight of people coming and going, has become a deserted island.

Although he had seen this photo from the data for a long time, looking at the image sent back by the drone, Lei Dong couldn't help but scold, ", it's too evil!" ”

From images taken at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, about one-fifth of the western part of the island is an irregular oval, with a length of about 9 kilometers from north to south and about 6 kilometers from east to west. Starting from the middle and upper part of the oval, a narrow piece of land 20 kilometers long but only about 4 kilometers wide extends slightly southward to the east, and the outermost part of this narrow land shrinks like a mushroom head.

Yes, you're right, this oddly shaped island, like a male phallus, floats diagonally on the surface of the sea!

"It's really worthy of the territory of the Republic of 'Chicken * Barris', it looks so similar!" Lei Dong had just maliciously flashed this thought in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but stare at it.

In the narrowest southeast corner of the island, there stood a tall building, the famous statue of the Holy Emperor of Light, in the middle of the statue's head, the yellow light from the navigation lights, through the dark night, flickering constantly.

After passing the statue, the drone quickly lowered its altitude to about 500 meters and followed the centerline of the island all the way to the west.

Looking through the display eyepiece, the island is covered with a layer of withered yellow color, and it is obvious that the vegetation of this island is good, and most of the area is covered with withered yellow weeds, which have grown wildly since they are uninhabited all year round, and are already more than one person tall.

On the north side of the island, there is a pier that can barely be seen in its original appearance, and on the south side, there are tall trees common in the cold temperate zone of the southern hemisphere. The hurricane that had just passed through the country had obviously caused great trauma to the island, with branches falling in patches, and some large trees that were not tall enough or whose roots were not deep enough and not strong enough were uprooted by the hurricane and scattered on the ground.

However, the ubiquitous weeds still grow firmly on the earth, and although they are staggering, they still try to support their bodies, showing their moving vitality.

What moved Lei even more was that among the weeds everywhere, a huge brown crack several meters wide and nearly two thousand meters had appeared!

"That's ......"

The thunderbolt almost screamed - what does it mean to have such traces on such a desert island that has not been set foot on for 20 years? The answer is already on the horizon!

Lei Dong's heart beat violently, and Huang Xiwen's voice was already heard in the earphones: "No. 2, lower the height of the bird!" ”

"Understood!" Song Jingang agreed, carefully controlled the drone, and lowered it to about 300 meters.

The height reduction brings a clearer and more detailed picture, from which it can be seen more clearly that the huge trace in the center of the island is indeed caused by the heavy object sliding at high speed, and the end of the trace is a dense Katara forest, the depths of the forest are dark and unclear, but at the edge of this forest, in the long grass, a silver behemoth, lying quietly, the 19-meter-high blue tail, sharply pointing to the sky - Byrne 777-200 airliner!

“bingo！” Lei Dong whispered excitedly, and the sound of the team members breathing a sigh of relief was heard in the headphones at the same time.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone's hearts, which were hanging in the air, were completely put back in place.

Although at the pre-war analysis meeting, Jing Jing used her genius intelligence analysis skills to point out that the plane was on this small island, no matter who it was, it could not help but harbor a concern: what if the plane crashed instead of being hijacked? What if there is no flight in this direction, but somewhere else? In case of......

Now, that concern has been swept away!

As long as you find the traces of the plane, then the next step is to develop reasonable tactics and try your best to achieve the best result!

The drone continues to move forward, and in the middle of the widest area of the island, there is a small raised hill, the relative height is no more than 50 meters, and the area is less than 100 square meters, which is also the commanding height of the small terrain and the only "mountain", above which the jungle is tall and dense.

"Five! Take control of the high ground and cover the landing of the detachment! Huang Xiwen's calm voice came from the earphones.

"Understood!" Lei Dong released the display eyepiece, looked around, controlled the parachute to turn slightly, broke away from the formation, and accelerated to glide past.

But at the moment when Lei Dong had just adjusted his direction, in the darkness, the faint light of the fire on the small hill suddenly flashed. This fire is extremely faint, but when it falls in the eyes of Lei Dong, it is like a bolt of lightning!

"Someone!" Lei Dong gently sounded the alarm in the throat walkie-talkie, and then controlled the parachute and climbed up.

Huang Xiwen was also slightly taken aback, and ordered: "No. 2, the little bird turns back!" ”

Without waiting for Song Jingang to answer, Lei Dong hurriedly stopped: "Don't!" I'll go first! ”

Lei Dong knows that the resolution of the camera probe of the drone is limited, and if it flies high, it may not be able to find anything, and if it flies low, although the engine noise is not large, the surrounding environmental noise will also have an impact, but if it alarms the other party, it may bring great variables to the action.

It was now more than four o'clock in the morning, and it was in the darkest stage of the night, and the clouds were thick, in this case, it was more hidden that he was silently approaching in the night sky.

Stopping Song Jingang's movements, 2,000 meters away, Lei Dong narrowed his eyes, used his eyesight, and looked towards the small hill, and at the same time, his divine sense quietly spread out.

It was still pitch black in front of him, and even with the current thunderous gaze that surpassed the imagination of normal people, he could only see a little shadow, and in this darkness, a faint red light was faintly flickering more than ten meters from the ground.

After getting closer, Lei Dong found that in the middle of two thirty-meter-high trees, someone had built a small platform with branches, and in his consciousness, a black shadow of medium stature stood on the platform, leaning against the big tree on the left, with his head slightly lowered, and his right hand on his face and mouth, "Damn it, I'm still smoking!" Lei Dong knew what this guy was doing in a blink of an eye.

After carefully observing to make sure that there was no one else nearby, Lei Dong carefully steered the parafoil and slowly glided towards the two large trees.

500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, 150 meters......

Lei Dong controlled the parachute to quickly reduce the height, and when he was more than ten meters above the top of the tree, the black shadow suddenly seemed to have discovered something, his head suddenly twisted, Lei Dong didn't have time to think about it, he slapped his chest and flew off the parachute, and his body was like a goshawk, and he swooped down towards the black shadow!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Two thousand kilometers away, Masnik, the naval logistics base of the Commonwealth of Minia.

Colonel Moore Anderson, the commander of the base, stood outside his office, glanced up at the stars in the sky, raised his wrist, glanced at the hands of the military watch, shrugged his shoulders, and muttered, "Fifteen minutes to go." ”

Since receiving the notice of emergency landing more than two hours ago, Anderson has insisted on standing on the side of the runway despite the persuasion of others to greet the approaching group of "sea gods".

Anderson, who was born in a naval family, wanted to join the Poseidon Commando since he was a child, but in the end he was not able to do so. However, in a battle 20 years ago, Anderson was saved by a Poseidon squad.

So, although he didn't know what the task of this commando team was going to carry out - it would have been extremely difficult, but the final victory must have belonged to them, and he didn't know why he suddenly turned around and landed at this small naval base, but the colonel, who had always had a strong affection for this famous special forces, could not wait to meet these brave and lovely young men.

The unique roar of the "Hercules" engine was heard in the sky, and Anderson shouted excitedly: "Tower, guide the landing, Neo, take out your craft, brew 140 cups of strong and fragrant coffee, hey, hey, the boys in the cooking class, is the boys' dinner ready?" To have a turkey, to have a juicy steak, to have the best cheese, to have the freshest fruit, and to have the hottest pine nut, I'm going to have these lads throw a big welcome dinner! ”

As the commander of a medium-sized naval logistics base, Colonel Anderson felt that he could make those lovely sea gods have a wonderful memory in the middle of the hurricane night, and he had the ability and the authority - didn't he?

The nose of the "Hercules" was aligned with the runway under the guidance of the tower, and the landing gear was slowly lowered, and when it was about to land, Anderson's adjutant, the young and handsome sergeant major Neo, hurried out of the command room and shouted: "Mr. Colonel, call - Admiral Nelson, Chief of Staff of the Navy!" ”

Anderson glanced at the slowly descending plane at the end of the runway, frowned, and turned to walk into the office.

"Admiral, I'm Colonel Anderson!"

"Hello, Anderson, has the plane landed?" The voice on the other end of the line sounded a little hurried.

"Yes—ah no, Admiral, the plane is landing, and now ......"

But the other end of the phone obviously didn't have the patience to listen to Anderson, and interrupted: "Prepare to refuel immediately, and in half an hour, the plane must take off and return the same way!" ”

"What? Mr. Admiral, a hurricane is coming! Anderson was almost stunned by the admiral's order.

"I know, but they have to return!" The voice on the other end of the phone became stern, and the indistinguishable tone made Anderson almost wonder if the old men at Worthington Navy Headquarters had burned out their brains. His face flushed, and he said loudly, "Admiral, it's a super hurricane over 14 -- mixed with torrential rain -- and this kind of weather, let the plane go back, that's almost killing our boys!" ”

Neo, who was standing on the side, was almost stunned by Anderson's tone, he had never seen this boss who had always been polite, warm, and had a good gentlemanly demeanor, and had such a time when he was arguing with others with a red face, not to mention, on the other end of the phone, was the highest military commander of the entire navy!

Admiral Nelson on the other end of the line suddenly sighed, and his tone softened a lot—at least he thought so: "Yes, I know all this, my weather officer has reported it to me, but you don't know what's going on there, I'm sorry, it's top secret, I can't tell you half a word until I get it, but I'm serious and solemn to tell you that everything there is related to the core interests of the Federation!" ”

"But......" Colonel Anderson tried to fight, but did not know what to say, "but" the word muttered several times in his mouth, but could not continue.

"Nothing but, the order must be carried out! And the same order has already been given to that plane......" Perhaps realizing something, Nelson sighed and said, "Well, I can take it easier and give them 20 minutes more so that they can enjoy a delicious supper at your place, but, again, I declare, the order must be carried out!" ”

The phone hung up, the engine sound of the plane outside the door had gradually stopped, and Colonel Anderson, who walked out of the office, looked at the commandos rushing down from the plane, and listened to their angry scolding, and suddenly felt that the oncoming sea breeze was unusually biting. A great sense of foreboding enveloped his whole body......

“shi`t！”
