But now was obviously not the time to reminisce about the past, so he immediately came to Wen Wenbin and formally said, "I am Meng Yuan, the deputy commander of the SX Provincial Military Region. I am here to contact you on the orders of my superiors. Wen Wenbin, welcome back. Who is the captain of your team?"

Wen Wenbin stood at attention and saluted, then replied solemnly, "Hello, Chief! That is the captain of our 543rd Exploration Team, codenamed Captain!"

Meng Yuan looked in the direction Wen Wenbin pointed in surprise, only to see that Han Feng had just put away the compass.

He stood at attention and saluted, reporting: "Reporting to the commander, all members of the 543rd Exploration Team are on standby! I am the captain of 543, codenamed Captain!"

Meng Yuan nodded in astonishment, and even now he was still a little dazed.

He looked at his teammates with questioning eyes.

This team seemed strange no matter how he looked at it, which made him feel a little unsure.

However, the mission was here, so he had to force himself to calm down and said slowly: "Thank you for your hard work. However, the situation in Lishan, Xi'an is critical, and the superiors have arranged for you to come to help. Don't delay. My military region has prepared a helicopter for you and will send you directly to Xi'an. There, you can meet up with other rescue teams and discuss the rescue operation together!"

After hearing Meng Yuan's words, Han Feng saluted politely: "Thank you, Chief!"

Due to the urgency of the situation, under Meng Yuan's arrangement, Han Feng and his companions had no time to stop and reorganize, and went directly to the helipad and boarded the helicopter prepared for them.

They barely spent ten minutes in the SX Provincial Military District before boarding the plane and taking off.

Watching the helicopter slowly take off, many soldiers were whispering and talking to each other.

"Are they capable of doing this?" "We have people in our military district, so why do we need to draw in personnel from outside? This makes us look like we are incompetent..."

"By the way, have you seen Wen Wenbin? Although he was transferred to this unknown team, have you seen his equipment? It's really good! It looks like special forces equipment, or even better!"

"I see, the 543 Exploration Team also spent a lot of money for Wen Wenbin. This equipment is not cheap!"

"It seems like Wen Wenbin is doing well, but it's a pity that the other members of the team are so weird."

Meng Yuan was preoccupied and had no intention of listening to the other soldiers' discussion, so he hurried back to Yu Zhi's office.

"Old Yu, are you mistaken? This 543rd Exploration Team doesn't look like a team that can handle this. How about asking the war zone commander?"

Yu Zhi slowly raised his head, looked at Meng Yuan helplessly and said: "Do you think I didn't ask? But the commander of the theater didn't take it seriously at all. The dispatch of this team was just a casual order. He didn't pay attention to them at all. After all, there are so many disaster-stricken areas. Lishan is just one of them. The commander of the theater can't always worry about this matter. Moreover, the commander's intention for this 543 exploration team is also very clear, that is: give it a try, and forget it if it doesn't work! What do you think I can do?"

Meng Yuan was speechless for a while, then he sighed deeply: "The commander of the theater doesn't care, but it's difficult for us."

Yu Zhi waved his hand: "Don't take it seriously, it's just a formality. Once we send them there, the mission will be accomplished. When they see the complexity of the problem, they will probably give up..."

Meng Yuan nodded and said nothing more.

However, Meng Yuan's attitude towards the 543 Exploration Team is the same as that of the ministers and even the soldiers.

There are only a few of them, they are here to make a joke!
At the same time, the people sitting in the helicopter were looking out the window with heavy hearts.

There was a vast expanse of white all around, and looking down, everything seemed very small.

"You can see it, right?"

Zhu Qingyang sighed helplessly and said.

In response, Han Feng smiled slightly and said:
“This is normal, we are not here to seek their cooperation anyway.

The important thing is to quickly reach the destination and carry out the mission..."

Zhu Qingyang turned to look at Wen Wenbin and said jokingly:

"Night Wolf, your old military district doesn't seem to be very welcoming to us, but they are quite friendly to you."

Wen Wenbin shrugged helplessly and explained:

"I can't do anything about it. After all, I am now a member of the Kunlun Garrison and have nothing to do with the old military district."

Wen Wenbin couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked:

"Captain, our team does look a little different.

What are your equipment used for?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingyang glared at him and said unhappily:
"What do you know? These things can save your life!"

Zhu Yingying seemed much gentler. She explained:
“Night Wolf, the mission we are carrying out is very special, so the equipment will also be a little special.

You will soon understand this.”

Wen Wenbin nodded thoughtfully, and then said:
“But, our team should at least have uniform clothing.

Otherwise, others will think this team is not reliable. "

Hearing this, several people spoke almost at the same time:
"Of course we have team uniforms!"

As he spoke, Zhang Qilin pulled out a corner of his team uniform from his hoodie.

Zhu Yingying also rolled up her sleeves, revealing the team uniform underneath.

At this moment, Wen Wenbin realized that the 543 Exploration Team actually had a team uniform.

But what does it mean to wear it inside?
Aren’t team uniforms meant for others to see?
Seeing Wen Wenbin's reaction, Han Feng said with some surprise:

"That's not right. I asked Master Gou to prepare a team uniform for you. Didn't you receive it?"

Wen Wenbin shook his head blankly, and several people looked at Zhu Qingyang.

Zhu Qingyang smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said:
"Hehe, I was so busy bragging at the time that I forgot..."

Several people had speechless expressions on their faces.

Zhu Qingyang knew he was in the wrong, so he stopped trying to argue and pointed out the window to change the subject:

"Fuck, what's going on over there?"

Several people looked in the direction Zhu Qingyang pointed, and saw dark clouds in the distance.

Unlike the white surroundings, that side was completely covered by dark clouds.

Even if it got just a little closer, the helicopter began to sway due to the turbulent air flow.

Han Feng immediately put on his headphones and asked:
"Comrade, what's going on over there?"

The helicopter pilot heard the question in the headset and replied in a cold tone: "That's Mount Li over there..."

Han Feng asked doubtfully:

"Then why don't we just fly over there instead of taking a detour?"

The driver said with some disdain:
“The air currents near Mount Li are complex, so even if a helicopter could fly over, it would not be able to land.

If I could airdrop to Mount Li, I wouldn't let you guys get involved...

I am sending you to downtown XA now, so flying over Mount Li is useless."

Han Feng understood after hearing this.

It turned out that this driver was also from the SX Provincial Military Region and had some opinions about the 543 Exploration Team, so naturally he didn't look down on them.

Han Feng took off his headphones and looked at the others and said:
"That's our destination, Mount Li, but the pilot said it was too windy, rainy and difficult to land on the mountain.

So he wanted to take us to the downtown area of ​​XA City first and then we would take a bus to Mount Li."

"what?"

Zhu Qingyang frowned, looked down through the window and said:

“How can this be possible!
Wasn’t it said that all the roads were destroyed by the landslide in Mount Li?
Even if we take a bus from XA City to the outside of Mount Li, we can’t enter the mountain!"

Zhu Yingying nodded in agreement and said, "I agree with Lord Gou. If we land directly at the foot of the mountain, our situation will be the same as that of other archaeological teams. We must enter the ancient tomb as soon as possible to complete the mission!"

Wen Wenbin seemed a little embarrassed after hearing this. He said, "But this is the reality. We have no choice."

"No!" Han Feng looked firmly at the dark clouds not far away and said word by word, "We can fly directly to the top of Mount Li. As long as the airborne landing is successful, we can break through the predicament!"

After that, Han Feng immediately put on his headphones again and asked the pilot, "Comrade, can your driving skills allow us to fly to the top of Mount Li?"

The driver's voice came out with some impatience: "I told you, it's useless! Airborne troops have tried it before, but the conditions here don't allow it at all. The ground situation is unknown, and the airflow is turbulent, so there are no conditions for airborne landing. Moreover, there is no ground command, so we can only carry out blind landing! Do you know how low the survival rate of blind landing is? The survival rate of any blind landing operation on the battlefield is less than 10%! Not to mention that this is Mount Li, which is more complicated than the battlefield, so this is impossible! The probability of death from forced blind landing is 100%. Even professional air force paratroopers can't do it, so forget it."

Han Feng didn't waste any words and asked again: "You just need to answer whether you can enter the sky above Mount Li!"

The driver paused, then replied, "Yes, but only at an altitude of about 4,500 meters. I can't guarantee that we can get through the dark clouds! And I need to consult the military district first about this matter..."

"Okay, don't go down to XA city yet. Ask for instructions first and we will give you a decision as soon as possible!" Han Feng said, and took off his headset.

Although the pilot didn't know what Han Feng and his team were going to do specifically, he could only follow orders. He pulled up the descending plane and made it circle in a semicircle. At the same time, he contacted the military district through the communicator on the helicopter.

"What? They're going directly to Mount Li?" After learning about this, Yu Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the Western Shaanxi Military Region, immediately came to the command center and asked the commanders, "What's the current situation in Mount Li?"

The commander shook his head: "It's still unclear. The rainstorm and wind index are rising. Helicopters can't fly through, let alone land. The ground situation is also complicated."

Yu Zhi immediately took the communicator and said, "Driver, does the 543 exploration team know the situation at the scene?"

The pilot said helplessly: "Commander, they all know it, but they still insist on going to Mount Li for a blind landing..."

Hearing this, everyone in the command center was stunned. What kind of operation was this? Was he seeking his own death?
At this time, at the foot of the mountain, the soldiers who were repairing the road were stepping in the mud and turned into mud figures whose faces could not be seen clearly.

They have been working hard to repair the roads, but landslides occur from time to time under the heavy rain, which makes the repair task extremely difficult.

In the tents in a safe area not far away, there are several archaeological teams on standby with their professional equipment.

They were all waiting, waiting for a mountain road to be repaired so that they could go up the mountain smoothly.

However, four days had passed and they still hadn't made any progress. Despite this, the soldiers still didn't give up.

"Da da da……"

The sound of helicopter propellers in the sky attracted the attention of everyone at the foot of the mountain.

They all looked up and saw that the helicopter, which had been descending in altitude, had risen again and was hovering in a semicircle at that altitude.

"What's going on? Why aren't you landing?"

The soldiers were very puzzled by this.

The person in charge of this generation of emergency repair tasks was a platoon leader of the 152nd Regiment of the SX Provincial Military District.

He looked at the helicopter circling in the sky with a look of confusion on his face.

He recognized at a glance that this was a helicopter from the SX Provincial Military District, but he couldn't understand why the helicopter was taking so long to land.

In order to facilitate transportation, a helicopter light-guided landing site has been set up here a long time ago, and it can be used normally at this time.

So why is this helicopter hovering in the air?
This scene was also discovered by several waiting archaeological teams.

They were wearing raincoats, making shelter with their hands, standing in the shelter and looking up at the sky.

The helicopter kept circling at the same altitude, with no intention of landing.

Of course they didn't know that at this moment in the cabin, Han Feng and others were anxiously discussing something.

"The pilot said that the helicopter cannot fly directly through the dark clouds, and its maximum rise height is only about 4,500 meters. This means that if we want to fly over Mount Li, we must cross the clouds. And the chaotic airflow can easily cause problems..." Han Feng said solemnly as he looked at the others.

Wen Wenbin thought for a moment and said, "And if we want to parachute at that altitude, it means that we can't open the parachute for nearly 1,500 meters. After falling from the airflow area, the safe distance for parachuting is less than a thousand meters. However, the current ground situation is complicated and without ground control, our parachute landing situation may not be optimistic. The risk is too great..."

But just as Wen Wenbin finished speaking, Zhu Qingyang, who was always carefree, became serious: "But this is our only feasible method at the moment. Otherwise, the plane will land at the foot of the mountain and we will be trapped outside. We don't know when the road will be cleared, let alone carry out the mission!"

"That's right, we have to try this method no matter what..." The team members' responses seemed to further strengthen Han Feng's thoughts.

He put on his headphones again under the gaze of several people: "Comrade, the next action may be dangerous for you. But please understand that we must reach the camp deep in Mount Li as soon as possible..."

The driver's heart sank when he heard this, but then Yu Zhi's voice from another channel came through his headset...

Zhu Yingying nodded in agreement and said, "I agree with Lord Gou. If we land directly at the foot of the mountain, our situation will be the same as that of other archaeological teams. We must enter the ancient tomb as soon as possible to complete the mission!"

Wen Wenbin seemed a little embarrassed after hearing this. He said, "But this is the reality. We have no choice."

"No!" Han Feng looked firmly at the dark clouds not far away and said word by word, "We can fly directly to the top of Mount Li. As long as the airborne landing is successful, we can break through the predicament!"

After saying that, Han Feng immediately put on his headphones again and asked the pilot: "Comrade, can your driving skills allow us to fly to the top of Mount Li?" (End of this chapter)
