Chapter 540 Mine
In the early morning, when everything comes to life, the airboat becomes lively early in the morning.
Above the clouds, illuminated by the morning light, the "Beluga" airship hovered steadily in the sea of clouds.
In the "Beluga" airship No. 1 harbor, Li Meng stood in front of the accompanying team members and said loudly: "Just a few days ago, we lost contact with a mining stronghold in Cangshi Town. This mining stronghold is on the ground below us. , Our mission this time is exploration and search and rescue, let’s go!”
Following Li Meng's order, more than 20 team members turned around. Wearing white protective clothing and holding uniform "T17" rifles, they boarded a "Vulture" transport plane.
Li Meng and Xu Jianxiong followed closely behind and entered the cabin through the hatch.
As the hatch closed, amidst the sounds of machinery running, the gate of Harbor No. 1 slowly opened.
As the gates opened, the engines roared, and the Vulture transport plane's rotors spun.
In the strong airflow, the "Vulture" transport plane slowly took off, passed through the gate, and flew into the vast sky outside.
After flying forward several hundred meters, the huge "Vulture" transport plane plunged into the extreme temperature layer at an angle of almost ninety degrees.
In the cabin, more than twenty mercenaries were sitting on the seats, tightly restrained by seat belts. No matter how the "Vulture" maneuvered, they could effectively prevent themselves from being thrown out.
"You can't fly a plane properly, that's not cool."
"Haha, I think it's pretty good. It's quite exciting. Look at the vibration, the angle, and the falling feeling. It's great."
In the extreme temperature, the rapidly descending "Vulture" transport plane was vibrating, which made the soldiers in the cabin complain about the pilot's driving style.
"Hey, hey, I can hear you. Don't say bad things about me behind my back. I don't want to drive like this. The "Vulture" transport aircraft does not have a constant temperature system. The heat of the engine alone cannot block the cold outside. If I drive slowly If you drop to a certain height, you will turn into popsicles in five minutes at most.”
It turns out that this is the case, everyone knows it, no wonder the temperature in the cabin is getting lower and lower.
Although the protective clothing on the body has a good thermal insulation effect, it is just not doing it. If there is no constant temperature system, no matter how tightly sealed the protective clothing is, it will still be invaded by the cold air from the outside. Once the outside temperature is too low, even if there is a protective clothing Protection will also be frozen into popsicles.
Everyone stopped talking and silently endured the vibrations in the cabin.
I don't know how long it took, outside, at that moment, in the dim sky and earth, the extreme temperature layer in the sky suddenly disturbed, and a "Vulture" transport plane rushed out from the extreme temperature layer, bringing out a long group of Clouds and mist.
As the ice fog outside the window disappeared, the land shrouded in white snow suddenly appeared in the eyes of everyone in the cabin.
"Captain, we have found a place similar to a mining stronghold. It is a huge mine with a diameter of about two hundred meters and a depth of more than one hundred meters. There is a communication tower on the edge of the mine. You can see some metal cabinets at the bottom of the mine. It is very quiet. , no lights were seen, there was an open space at the bottom to land.”
Looking out the window, Li Meng did not see the mine that the pilot mentioned. It should be directly ahead.
Without hesitation, Li Meng said: "Land immediately."
"yes!"
In the sky, the "Vulture" transport plane is slowly descending.
On the ground just ahead, there are the ruins of a small town, and some houses buried in the snow can be seen.
About one kilometer away to the west of the ruins of the town, a huge mining pit appeared on the ground. It was very eye-catching, and you could see a pit appearing on the ground from a distance.
The engine roared and the air waves rolled. From the edge of the mine, the "Vulture" transport plane roared past and flew into the mine. At the same time, the nose of the aircraft was raised high. The forward speed stagnated for an instant, and gradually stopped, floating above the mine. .
Amidst the humming roar of its engines, the "Vulture" transport aircraft began to descend.
When the ground at the bottom of the mine was less than fifty meters away, strong wind and waves lifted up the snow at the bottom of the mine. For a while, snowflakes and white snow were flying at the bottom of the mine.
In the rolling air waves and the flying white snow, the huge "Vulture" transport plane slowly landed on an open field in the locker room.
The so-called container house is a house similar to a large container. The structure is closed enough and easy to move. It is one of the favorite equipment of mining companies outside and can be reused to reduce costs.
In the cabin, Li Meng unbuckled his seat belt, stood up with a rifle in hand.
"Be vigilant, check all cabinets, and report any findings to me immediately."
At this time, amid the sounds of mechanical operation, the hatch slowly opened.
The mercenaries unbuckled their seat belts and stood up, holding rifles in hand and looking at the figure standing at the cabin door.
Standing in front of the cabin door, Li Meng shouted: "Act!"
With that said, Li Meng turned around and walked out, stepping through the hatch to the bottom of the mine.
The snow on the ground had long been blown away by the engine of the "Vulture" transport plane, revealing a small patch of frozen soil.
The space at the bottom of the mine is not large, with a diameter of no more than a hundred meters.
In addition to the cabinets neatly arranged on one side, you can also see some large mine carts, not many in number, only three.
The bottom of the mine pit is connected to the ground, and there is an upward circular road around it.
After leaving the "Vulture" transport plane, the mercenaries dispersed and searched the locker room.
Looking around, the dim environment gave Li Meng a sense of oppression, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Li Meng said to Xu Jianxiong beside him: "Send someone to the communication tower to check whether it is intact."
Without saying much, Xu Jianxiong turned and entered the cabin.
As the cabin door closed, the engine roared, the air waves rolled, and the "Vulture" transport plane slowly took off.
Looking up at the "Vulture" transport plane taking off, Li Meng turned and came to a cabinet.
"Captain, the electronic doors of the cabinet are locked, we can't get in."
On the other side, some mercenaries surrounded the cabinets and looked inside through the windows.
They wanted to open the door, but found that they did not have the corresponding authority. The power supply of the mining base was still in operation, and the protection system of the cabinet was not offline. Except for the owner, no one else was allowed to enter.
Li Meng tapped on a small silver screen on the door in front of him and entered a password.
With a "click", the door opened to the outside.
After opening the door, Li Meng said, "Password 6587162, this is the reserve password of Kangnan Mining Company."
Hearing this, the mercenaries quickly entered the password on the small silver screen on the door.
With a series of "clicks", the doors of the cabinets were opened one by one.
At this time, Li Meng had already entered the cabinet.
The space in the cabinet was still relatively small, after all, it was just a personal residence.
It was about 30 square meters, with a bed, a wardrobe, a refrigerator, and a bathroom of less than two square meters.
The room was empty, no one was there, only some things left by the owner, and some daily necessities.
