Chapter 68 Entering the Secret Path
……

"Squad F is in place! Ready to go!"

At the entrance of the opened secret passage, Xiao Cheng successfully mixed into Lu Renjia's team, and now he has just assembled and is ready to go at any time.

"The road map has been shared on the team platform, and all members receive it!" Captain Gao said in a muffled voice. In order to prevent accidents, the headquarters will send the map to the captain through a dedicated channel only when the members are assembled and in place, and then share it with the combat team through the captain. middle.

Xiao Cheng received the map information, opened it and looked, a route flashing with red light stretched all the way, and frowned. The route of their F group deviated greatly from his destination. It seemed that there was still a long way to go. Looking for an opportunity to get away, the map was far less detailed than the map he held in his hand. After looking at it a few more times, Xiao Cheng copied the map's route information to his own map and then deleted it casually.

"... In this mission, we have to face the remnants of the extremely cunning Star Thief Group. I hope that you will not take it lightly. The situation in the secret path is also very complicated... No. 2!" Captain Gao shouted.

"Yes!" Teammate No. 2 responded immediately.

"You install the trap detection module! Take action as a team leader!" Captain Gao said, pointing to an ordinary backpack-sized equipment he brought on the ground.

"Yes!" No. 2 quickly picked up the trap detection module and threw it behind him. With a click, the trap detection module was perfectly integrated with the armor.

"No. 3!" Captain Gao looked at the other person.

"Have!"

"You are in charge of heavy fire support and blasting tasks, and the main weapon is replaced with an RJV3 heavy individual shaped cannon!"

"Yes!" No. 3 unloaded the standard assault rifle on his right arm with a click, and loaded the heavy individual shaped cannon on his arm with a click.

"No. 4!" Captain Gao looked at Xiao Cheng.

"Yes!" Xiao Cheng responded immediately.

"You are responsible for the team's cover and backing! Here, put on the C5 individual fortress!" Captain Gao said!

Individual fortress?Xiao Cheng immediately thought of the abnormal protection ability of the individual fortress carried by the Suya clone transformed person during the fierce battle in the Nuwa base. Get up, and load it on the module array in front of the chest under the prompt of Nuwa.

Captain Gao glanced at them, and saw that they were all ready, and waved his arms: "Let's all go!"

No. 2 immediately took the lead and walked into the secret passage, Captain Gao followed closely behind, No. 3 ranked third, and Xiao Cheng was last.

The secret passage was dark, and the power supply system seemed to have been deliberately destroyed by the Star Thieves, but Xiao Cheng heard from Nvwa that the five star field coalition forces specially sent three teams to repair the power system.

No. 2 at the front turned on the strong tactical lights above his head, and the secret passage immediately lit up.

The secret passage was built quite wide enough for the three of them to pass side by side in armor. The walls were smooth and cold, filled with various abstract graffiti by members of the Star Thief Group.

However, the four of them were not in the mood to appreciate these paintings. The first two kilometers had already been explored by the first two teams, and there was no danger. Even so, everyone still did not dare to take it lightly——

After walking a full 500m, the four of them had just passed a thick gate that had been opened, when suddenly there was a loud bang behind them!
The gate with a thickness of 2 meters has been locked again!

"Everyone is on alert!" Captain Gao shouted in a muffled voice, "Number 2 is going to see what's going on!"

Xiao Cheng also reacted professionally and quickly. The individual fortress was quickly deployed in front of the four of them, and the blue light shield blocked the intersection tightly.

The four breathed a sigh of relief.

No. 2 walked quickly to the gate, opened the control panel on the side, connected to the special military decipher, and raised his head after 3 seconds: "Captain, the gate has a hidden timing lock key, and the gate has been permanently locked. No deciphering device can be opened without the original key."

"Can it be blasted?" Captain Gao asked. A "meltdown bomb" can solve a gate of this thickness.

"No!" No. 2 said in a serious tone, "The gate is 500m away from the wall of the secret passage before and after the glass-ceramic linkage. If the gate is opened abnormally, the 1km-long secret passage will collapse automatically!"

"These damned guys!" Captain Gao cursed in a low voice, and immediately contacted the headquarters to inform the special situation here.

at the same time--

The command center of the coalition forces in the five major star fields.

"Sir, we have received emergency reports from all the teams entering the secret passages, and all the entrances to the secret passages are completely locked." A second lieutenant quickly reported to General Luo, the highest commander of the Canglan Starfield Army standing behind him.

"Notify the other generals quickly!" General Luo stared solemnly at the three-dimensional map of the city's underground tunnels on the huge light screen in front of him. At this time, all the entrances of all 81 passages were highlighted in red, and all the entrances were locked!
It's a conspiracy!General Luo frowned. Counting the troops that entered before, exactly 1000 coalition soldiers were trapped underground.

What are these star thieves going to do?
While thinking, Chen Wudong and other four generals walked in quickly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Wudong came in and asked, "Can I enter the secret passage that was pierced by the burrower?"

"No!" General Luo knocked on the table, pointed to the secret passage destroyed by the ground penetrator on the map, and said: "The gates near the inside of the secret passage destroyed by the ground penetrator are also closed and locked. The principle is exactly the same as the entrance gate. If Then blast the secret passage, and it is very likely that the 1000 soldiers who entered will be buried underground!"

Chen Wudong's face sank like water, his daughter followed the second batch of teams to enter the secret passage regardless of persuasion, and now she is also trapped inside.

"Are all the gates inside the secret passage locked?" Chen Wudong asked again.

"No, only the entrance and the destroyed place are locked." General Luo replied, "This is the strange place, I don't know what they want to do by leading us into the secret passage!"

"Send special forces to stand by!" Chen Wudong looked at the other generals, no one objected, "Detect the underground movement at any time, if there is an accident, break in at all costs!"

……

The secret passage was quiet and silent. The four of Xiao Cheng paused for 5 minutes, and nothing unusual happened. Except for Xiao Cheng, no one else knew that all the entrances were locked.

"Defensive formation! Keep going!" Captain Gao commanded skillfully. Since he couldn't turn back, he had to keep going and carry out the task.

No. 2 quickly opened the individual soldier's energy shield, then Xiao Cheng put away the individual fortress, and a group of people walked forward carefully.

"All the entrances are locked?" Xiao Cheng quietly communicated with Nuwa, "Do you know what's going on?"

"As long as I find this kind of key to the control host here, I can unlock it, so don't worry too much," Nuwa first gave the answer to the most critical question, "In the deepest part of the secret road, I detected a huge The experimental base was sealed with mimic metal, and the detectors of the coalition forces did not find it, and there were living bodies coming out from there, and the number was huge..."

"Is it a member of the Star Thief?" Xiao Cheng asked, "Could it be that they want to clear these 1000 soldiers? But is there any use?"

"The life signal is strong...it doesn't look like a human being..." Nuwa said again, "They started to move towards various passages at a very fast speed..."

"What does it mean that it doesn't look like a human being?" Xiao Cheng was slightly taken aback.

"...My detection can only scan the signs of lifeform activity, but cannot determine the specific species..." Nuwa replied, "At least, in my database, there is no record of this kind of lifeform!"

Xiao Cheng tightened the weapon in his hand: "We have a single-soldier fortress in our hands, so we can deal with any situation..."

In fact, he didn't know what to do. After all, this was the first time he joined the army to participate in a mission. Now facing the unknown situation, he immediately felt a little uneasy in his heart, and his steps slowed down unconsciously.

"No. 4! Follow up!" Captain Gao immediately noticed Xiao Cheng's strange behavior, and shouted in the team channel, "Don't be nervous, there are many troops participating in the mission! Those star thieves are not our opponents at all!"

"Xiaojia, what are you afraid of? How many times have we brothers come and gone in the wind and rain! Go out and buy you a drink!" No. 3 Tian Wu and Lu Renjia, who usually have the best relationship, comforted immediately.

"Got it..." Xiao Cheng quickly muttered in response.
