Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 626 Big Trouble

"I never get lost!"

The mountain eagle was wrapped in animal skin and sat on a simple sled...

Baran led the way as the vanguard, and two strong cougars dragged the sled across the snow.

The 'sled' stands at the back of the sled and adjusts the direction of the sled from time to time by adjusting the simple tillers on both sides to increase the friction on one side.

Driving a sled in the dark is a very difficult test...

Looking at the light on Baran's back, Xueshuang said unsurely, "Boss, is this really okay?
We are moving very fast now. If Barang leads us in the wrong direction, we may miss our target by more than ten kilometers.”

Shanying adjusted his sitting position and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Baran will definitely not get the direction wrong.

Do you know why I have to leave at night?"

As he looked through his tactical glasses at the red dots in the vast snowfield and woods, he smiled and said, "This is a good time to visit friends, because they are definitely 'at home'!"

The mountain eagle did not tell the sled that he was the one who actually showed the way. Baran's role was to explore the way ahead and find a road that the sled could pass after knowing the clear direction.

The two cougars have plenty of energy. If they get enough rest and keep moving at a constant speed, they can basically cover a distance of a hundred kilometers in a day and a half.

The Mountain Eagle has found the location of the two teams through various complex radio signals and the Crow's infrared detection.

Their position was even more remote, but as long as they could cross the mountains tonight, they would be able to enter a flat snowfield and catch up with them before dark tomorrow.

…………

Shanying didn't know that the goal of the two teams was to chase the two thieves and kill them. He thought they wanted to catch up with the thieves and evacuate with them.

By accident, he missed a truly dangerous team, allowing them to withdraw from the battlefield eastward with the virus and vaccine information.

At this time, no one except Glassman and the two teams knew that the dangerous virus had been taken away from the war zone.

The Department of Homeland Security has received word...

There is a terrorist organization called "Atomic Weapons Division" outside that claims to have obtained the virus and is preparing to launch an attack on the United States.

But first of all, they didn't quite believe it, and secondly, they didn't dare to gamble. They were worried that this was a smokescreen released to cover up the thieves.

The Department of Homeland Security has extremely abundant resources. While they arranged for people to track down the atomic weapons division, they also increased their investment in the Alaska region.

The Reaper drone, which had no choice but to return in the snowstorm, took off again with bombs loaded and began a large-scale reconnaissance search of the northern region.

However, although the Grim Reaper can find people in the snow, he cannot determine whether the target on the ground is the person they are looking for.

Therefore, after discovering the target, ground personnel need to follow up and identify it before launching an attack, and finally clean up the battlefield.

The teams that were trapped in the blizzard for a day and a night not only did not receive authorization to evacuate, but were instead ordered to continue the pursuit at all costs.

…………

When the crow detected that the god of death had appeared again, the mountain eagle chose to stop...

He took out a raincoat-like cloak that was anti-infrared detection from his bag, handed it to Sledge to put on, then pointed to the sky, refusing Sledge's offer to make a fire.

Throwing half a sheep to the panting mountain lion, Mountain Eagle leaned against a big tree and said with a smile through the still drifting snow, "The Death Drone is here too. It's really lively..."

Snowshoe is also a veteran. He has participated in the most intense battle in Los Angeles. He knows that his boss has a high-tech aerial drone, so he is not surprised that his boss can lock the target...

He was not the kind of person who liked to ask questions about technical issues. Seeing that his boss was in a good mood, he thought for a moment and said, "Boss, we have to change direction...

I suggest that after we pass through the mountains, we make a detour through the snowfields.”

As he spoke, Snowshoe looked lovingly at the two mountain lions that were steaming from their bodies. He grinned with a mouthful of yellow teeth and said happily, "We are fast enough. If everything goes well, we can get ahead of our opponents tomorrow night."

Shanying smiled and nodded, saying, "You are an expert in the snow region, so I will listen to you...

We will rest here for two hours, then move forward a distance and find a place like a cave to rest.

They can’t run fast anyway…”

After hearing this, Xueliang didn't waste any words. He glanced at the green eyes that appeared from time to time in the distant woods, and walked to another direction to form a surveillance angle with the mountain eagle.

He quickly rubbed a snow hole on the ground, then used the parachute rope and rain cloth to pull up a simple windproof wall, then sat down on the waterproof backpack, hugged his arms and began to rest.

The temperature of more than ten degrees below zero did not seem to have much impact on the sled. During the break, he took out a few slices of dried meat and stuffed them into his mouth to chew.

When the mountain eagle rested on the sled, it stood there with its back against the tree like a clay sculpture or a wooden sculpture...

Seventy or eighty kilometers away, a series of explosions slowed down the teams that were traveling at night.

…………

"boom"

An explosion sounded in a pine forest, causing the screams of a large number of animals to be heard in the snow-covered pine forest.

"Fuck..." A young man wearing a hat and winter clothes was so scared that he fell to the ground. Then a woman next to him rushed over and dragged him through the snow to a fallen tree nearby...

When they rushed to the big tree, the woman kicked away the snow with her feet, knelt on the ground and dug frantically for a few times, then pulled the young man in.

"What's going on? What happened?"

The woman did not answer the young man's question, but turned off all the lights, closed her eyes and began to listen carefully...

A few minutes later, the woman pushed away the man's hands that were around her waist in the dark and said in a deep voice, "It's a drone. Death is back again!"

The man was startled when he heard this, and his head hit the tree trunk above him heavily...

After a “bang” sound, the man held his head in pain and said, “That was a missile just now. They used a missile to bomb us?

I just stole a little fucking thing, why are they bombing us with missiles?

We are dead, we are dead!"

The woman lifted her ski mask, revealing a slightly haggard face. She said, "That wasn't a missile. It looked more like a booby trap that was triggered."

The woman took a rope from her waist and said, "The snowstorm will cover some of our escape tracks. We are now at least one day ahead of the enemy.

I'll find a way to erase all traces of our presence, and then we'll find a place to rest until dawn.

The cruising time of the Reaper drone is not long, and it will return after daybreak."

As the woman was speaking, another explosion occurred a few kilometers behind them...

This time the victims were the special forces from the Department of Homeland Security that were chasing after the thief!

The Mountain Eagle had no intention of harming these special forces. The only purpose of the Crow dropping the grenade was to intimidate them and to tell them that there were two more teams following them.

Shanying planned to point out all the people and teams still left in the area, making them fearful and suspicious.

No matter what, I'll blow you up first!
Shanying had no idea who was who here, nor could he tell the relationships and positions between them.

When there are fewer people, the most favorable situation for him is 'chaos'.

After achieving the goal in the 'chaos', the Mountain Eagle's goal is to evacuate by taking advantage of the 'chaos'.

As long as he officially shows up in Anchorage, the subsequent deaths in Marshall Town will not be his fault.

The actions of Shanying brought all the teams to a standstill...

The explosion first made them stop. After checking the location of the explosion, this group of people went from being on the road to being in combat and began to search for traces of the enemy in the surrounding void.

At the request of the ground, the Reaper drone began to lower its altitude and hover in search...

Then all the unofficial teams were exposed!
The powerful team that attacked the National Guard, after confirming that the virus had been taken out of the battlefield, quickly broke away from the entanglement with the special forces of the Department of Homeland Security guarding the crash site and began to evacuate to the south.

…………

Several guys wearing snow camouflage quickly left their combat positions and distanced themselves from the Department of Homeland Security personnel by rolling away, but their actions could not escape the surveillance of the Reaper drones in the sky.

The Department of Homeland Security, which had already been furious, had no time to consider the identities of these people. After the location of their own people was confirmed, the Reaper drone fired two deadly Hellfire missiles at the ground at an altitude of about 3 kilometers.

A violent explosion swept across a large area, and several guys who were running were blown away...

Just as the thick smoke from the explosion obscured the area, a tall and nimble man rolled and crawled towards a rock crevice, and forcefully grabbed a Russian-made 9K38M Needle-S individual air defense missile from inside...

Quickly activating the missile, the tall man locked onto the Reaper drone hovering at low altitude and decisively launched the missile.

"whoosh"

A red light with smoke rushed towards the arrogant Reaper drone, and then an explosion occurred on the side of the Reaper.

"boom"

A large amount of debris caused damage to the wings and sides of the Reaper drone, and then the aircraft lost control and began to fall to the ground.

Looking at the explosion lights on the snowy field in the distance, the tall man dropped the transmitter in his hand, pulled up the ski mask on his face, and shouted in Arabic over the radio: "Retreat, retreat south..."

…………

Shanying didn't expect that his "prank" would cause such a big commotion...

The Eagle monitored the radio conversation of that daring group of guys through the crow, but unfortunately the Eagle could not understand Arabic and had no idea what the other party was saying.

However, from the perspective of the crow, the Eagle saw the fall of the Reaper drone and knew that this time the matter had really gotten out of hand...

Looking at the sled, which also heard some noise, Shanying said loudly: "We will set off immediately...

Fuck, I have a feeling this is going to be troublesome!"
