Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 340: Coastal City
In the night sky, above the sea of clouds, a military transport plane was flying.
A huge blood-red rose pattern was printed on the fuselage.
Sitting in the cabin were seven members of the fifth team, as well as Scar and Brown, and everyone was fully armed.
After learning the mission intelligence this morning, we had a concentrated discussion and then flew to South America in the afternoon.
Now, we are almost reaching the South American continent.
Through the windows on both sides of the cabin, everyone looked at the sea of clouds under the starry sky outside the window.
However, although the scenery outside was very beautiful, everyone had a solemn expression on their faces and no one spoke.
Because this mission is really depressing...
I won’t go into detail about how dangerous this mission is. Although everyone knows it, there is nothing we can do, so we can only do it.
However, the mission information this time was too simple, and there was not even the route to the mission location.
The intelligence only marked the coordinates of the mission location, saying that the signal in that area was subject to strong interference from the gods, and therefore a detailed map could not be drawn.
But by that time, the landing location of the transport plane was still thousands of miles away from the mission site.
As for how to get through this section of the road, Li Jiu and his companions could only figure it out on their own...
However, it would be too dangerous to operate on the South American continent without a designated route!
Because, in that place, the defenders have an absolute advantage.
Although according to the division of the war map, the South American continent is the area under the charge of the Fifth Legion of the Central Province of the Alliance, but the Fifth Legion has not built any regular legion bases on that continent, only some scattered small secret bases.
This is because the South American continent is too close to the defenders' base camp, and the enemy can quickly get support from the base camp. Therefore, it would be very disadvantageous for the alliance if a frontal battlefield was opened there.
Unless it comes to the final decisive battle, the Alliance will not easily deploy too much military force there.
As for the secret bases built by the Alliance on the South American continent and the mercenary teams occasionally deployed there, they were only for monitoring the situation in the enemy camp and carrying out some special covert missions.
It can be said that the entire South American continent is almost the defenders' territory, and the enemy's whereabouts can be seen everywhere...
It is conceivable that if a safe route is not determined , it is definitely not an easy task to travel more than a thousand miles on the South American road.
Therefore, the team members are now even a little worried about whether they can arrive at the mission location alive, let alone complete the mission and return to the alliance alive.
…
There was no conversation along the way, and around six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiu and his team arrived safely in the South American continent.
However, due to the time difference, it is morning here now.
Night Rose's transport plane finally landed in a city...
That’s right, this is a city, and a relatively lively city at that!
This city is called Marina City, and the name comes from the fact that it is close to the Pacific Ocean in the west.
Binhai City... is a very special city, which can be said to be unique in this world.
It does not belong to the Defenders, nor was it built by the Alliance.
However, neither the Alliance nor the Defenders will interfere with the order of this city!
It can be said that it is a special existence that is independent and apart from both the alliance and the defenders.
The humans living in the coastal city neither support the defenders nor the alliance, and maintain a neutral attitude towards the war.
Most of the ordinary citizens on both sides of the war did not know why such a strange city appeared in the world. After all, if it came down to strength, this small city would definitely not be able to compete with the two sides of the war. If the defenders or the alliance wanted to deal with it, they would be able to crush it in a matter of minutes.
Many people don’t understand. At this point in the war, both sides have been at loggerheads with each other for a long time. How could they tolerate the existence of a neutral force?
But some people also speculated that perhaps both sides had not given up hope for peace talks while the war was going on, and wanted to leave a last glimmer of room for the war, so they allowed the existence of Binhai City...
"Captain, what should we do next?" Lei Zi asked Kaqi after getting off the plane.
Now, everyone is standing outside a small airport in Binhai City.
And Night Rose's transport plane was parked at this small airport. After completing the mission, Li Jiu and his team would have to return here and take the plane before they could return to the alliance.
"First find a guide who is familiar with the nearby terrain, and then set off." Kaqi looked at the team members behind her and said calmly with a cold expression, her eyes vigilantly paying attention to the movements around her.
Although Binhai City is a neutral city, people from both sides of the war are strictly prohibited from taking action.
But given Kaqi's personality, she became alert immediately after getting off the plane just in case.
Hearing Kaqi's words, everyone nodded.
Since there is no map to the mission location, if you want to reach the mission location smoothly, you can only find someone who is familiar with the terrain to lead the way.
Although doing so may not necessarily allow you to safely avoid all the defenders' strongholds along the way, it can at least ensure that everyone takes fewer detours and reaches the mission destination as quickly as possible.
Li Jiu had no objection to Kaqi's arrangement. At this moment, he was holding Rose M4A1 and looking around at the scenery.
Just now on the plane, he had already overlooked the situation in Binhai City.
This city is not big, not even as big as the fifth district of Shoushan City. Moreover, most of the buildings in the city are low-rise buildings, which look very shabby and backward. At a glance, he even had the illusion of returning to the early 21st century in the virtual world.
"Rather than calling this a city, I think it would be more appropriate to call it a slum..." Looking at the buildings around him, Li Jiu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Near this small airport, there are many small buildings with less than ten floors. They are dilapidated and old, and look more like slums than the civilian area in the fifth district.
For mercenaries , the best place to find a guide on the seaside street is the local bar.
So, next, Li Jiu and his friends chartered two old-fashioned taxis outside the airport and headed to a lively bar nearby.
…
This is a two-story building. Like the surrounding buildings, it looks very shabby and there is nothing eye-catching about it.
