Age of the Mist

Chapter 880 Looking for Secret Agents
On the vast land of Mars, a huge airtight military vehicle is galloping.

Liu Zhihao led twenty people to organize the base, while Shi Tiezhu ordered ten people to set off immediately.

There is a distance of more than 900 kilometers from the first base to the coordinates given by the spy.Most of the [-] kilometers are Gobi and hills, without any roads.

The big and thick tires ran over the Gobi Desert, and the roaring Martian military vehicles raised red dust all the way.The huge cabin has its own oxygen, and the soldiers take turns eating, charging, and resting.

But most of them couldn't eat much, and couldn't rest in peace.But if you don’t eat, you won’t have physical strength to fight, and if you don’t rest, you won’t be full. If things go on like this, problems will arise.

While driving, Shi Tiezhu took a look in the rearview mirror, and silently opened the team communication channel: "I'll tell you a secret."

In a dull environment, talking is better than not talking.

Da Liu asked, "What secret?"

"Remember when you were asked to run laps in boot camp?"

"Remember, unforgettable!"

When the recruits were running and practicing, the platoon leader cheerfully drew a circle and told the soldiers that this was 1000 meters.Run five laps first, a mere 5000 meters, not long, let's go.

As for the standard, lower it a little bit, 22 minutes, which is loose enough.Don't tell the other instructors, they will say that I am too loose, and go to the company commander to sue me.

The soldiers immediately felt that the platoon leader was quite talkative and easy to fool, and immediately became happy.

Then, the soldiers ran so heartbroken, so retched, so dejected, so painful.

Thinking of this, everyone chatted in a hurry:
"That running circle is too cheating!"

"Yeah, no matter how hard I try, I fail to meet the standard, no matter how hard I run, I almost miss the time, and I am always scolded and punished."

"Didn't someone secretly measure the distance? They said it was 1000 meters, but it was actually one thousand and four!"

"The instructor's mouth is a deceitful ghost. If you can believe it, you will be evil."

"At that time, I really wanted to cover the head of the platoon leader in the middle of the night, and then beat him up if I caught him!"

Hearing everyone's complaints, Shi Tiezhu laughed, and said lightly: "What I want to say is, in fact, the platoon leader is the one who took the blame. I drew that line."

Everyone exclaimed in unison: "Ah?!"

"I not only drew the line, but also secretly changed the venue for the 400-meter off-road."

"Do you think the pit is particularly deep? I dug it. It's [-] centimeters deeper than the standard pit."

"Do you think the wooden wall is particularly tall? I built it. It is [-] centimeters higher than the standard wall."

"Even the overall length of the 400-meter cross-country is not 400 meters, but 560 meters." Shi Tiezhu said in a tone of hard work: "I also took great pains to meet your group."

"I wipe!" Everyone was shocked: "It's been a long time, it's you!" "I said, why do I feel especially painful." Son, it turns out that the source is here with you!"

Shi Tiezhu didn't dare to take the credit: "Thank you, thank you. However, even if you put on extra pounds, you all survived. Therefore, you are all excellent soldiers trained under a higher standard. It was practice before, but this time it is use. It may be an enemy that has never been encountered before, but the core of the war will not change, and the rules will not change."

"Take out your usual level and fight with all your strength."

Shi Tiezhu's words finally made the air less dull.Everyone talked for a while, chatted for a while, and then suddenly felt hungry and tired.In the bumpy carriage, they fell asleep one after another after eating.

Shi Tiezhu drove alone, switched the switch to the end, and rushed to the highest speed.

Although there are no roads on the land of Mars, the advantage is that there are no cars and no traffic control, so you can drive as fast as you can, and it’s no problem to drive.

After four hours of running wildly, the vehicle drove [-] kilometers and entered the hilly area.

From the satellite, there is not much difference between the hilly area and the smooth road.But if you really drive in, you will find that there are many cliffs, cracks and deep valleys here.Coupled with the severe weathering of Martian rock formations, the iron in the rock mass is combined with oxygen, resulting in loose rock.When running along the cliffs, if you are not careful, it will collapse, and it is likely to turn the car into a deep valley.

But Shi Tiezhu drove this three-and-a-half-meter-high, seven-meter-long, and four-meter-wide military vehicle with a big belly, as if walking on flat ground.

The switch does not say that it goes all the way to the end, but the looseness is limited.

An hour later, the military vehicle went deep into the hilly area and entered the mountainous area. More than 900 kilometers of road, 98% has been completed.

"Get ready!" Shi Tiezhu gave an order, and the soldiers quickly woke up and began to get dressed.

In just 3 minutes, everyone's status was adjusted.After some rest, he was indeed more energetic.

"There is no way, get out of the car. The four of you are here to guard the car, and you are guaranteed to start it at any time, and the weapon system is also on standby at any time. Six of you, follow me." Shi Tiezhu ordered six people to form a temporary car with himself. The team climbed towards the deep mountain.

It is also a deep mountain, but here is different from the deep mountains on the earth, there is no grass and trees to draw on.The surface is bare, there are many strange peaks and rocks, and it is very difficult to walk.

Fortunately, the gravitational coefficient of Mars is relatively small, about 0.38 times that of the Earth's surface gravity.The well-trained fighters here don't talk about flying over the roof, at least it is not difficult to jump vertically, so the speed of advancement is not slow.

Half an hour later, Shi Tiezhu arrived at the location shown in the secret report.

At a glance, there are barren hills everywhere, and there is no place where people can hide.

Are the given coordinates wrong?
Shi Tiezhu mobilized his mind energy to line up his troops, Guanlan Tianyan, open!

Hum, the field of vision changed, and many subtle traces appeared.

"It's well hidden, he's a master." Shi Tiezhu waved: "This way."

He led the team away, and soon found a very hidden hole.From a distance, the hole looks like an ordinary depression on the rock wall. You have to look closely to find the universe inside.In the horizon of the Sky Eye, there are many fresh traces here, which are highlighted.

Wait, fresh marks?
Shi Tiezhu frowned, and found some scratches on the rock mass.This scratch does not seem to be left by humans.

There are pursuers!
Or... the spy itself has also mutated due to infection.

Either way, it's not a good thing.

"Be alert, follow me." Shi Tiezhu took the lead and got into the hole.

At the beginning, you are extremely narrow, and you are able to understand people.Climb a little longer, gradually loosen up, and drill more than ten meters, and suddenly... er, not very suddenly, it is not spacious anymore, but it is indeed a lot more cheerful.

This is an expansive cave, and there are many cracks leading to different places.Shi Tiezhu saw a thread, winding upwards along a stone pillar, penetrating a crack and extending out of the mountain.This end of the line is connected to a small sending device, which seems to be still working.

That's right here.

But in the eyes of the sky, there is chaos here, and many traces are intricate.
