Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 346: Deserted Mountain Castle
The moon is dark and the wind is high!
The team members standing on the edge of the rainforest could only see a solitary peak as black as ink in front of them.
Although everyone was wearing multi-functional protective glasses with night vision function, they could only see the vague outline of a solitary peak.
Because, around this solitary peak, there seems to be a layer of hazy clouds, obscuring the appearance of the solitary peak.
However, with his extraordinary eyesight, Li Jiu was able to clearly see the appearance of the isolated peak in front of him...
This is a bare isolated peak with only steep black rocks on it and no vegetation. It looks very out of place in the lush Amazon rainforest.
This solitary peak is not very high, estimated to be only about 200 meters.
At the top of the solitary peak is a dilapidated and gloomy ancient castle that looks like a medieval castle in Europe.
Li Jiu didn't know why there were such antique buildings in this future world.
But he knew that this castle was definitely not as desolate as it appeared.
Because this is the destination of this mission!
Inside this ancient castle, there is a hidden energy storage station of the Defender Empire...
"This... is actually a wolf's den!" Li Jiu looked at the radar detection map displayed on the battle interface and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
After arriving at the solitary peak, the first thing he and his teammates did was to check the three-dimensional terrain map of the enemy base through the radar built into the Ares system terminal.
The results of the survey showed that the terrain here was very similar to the Wolf's Lair in the Crossfire game...
"I've already shown you the way. There's nothing for me to do from now on. The car rental fee you leave with me can be considered as the other half of the commission. I'm leaving first." At this moment, Elena beside him said to Li Jiu with a smile.
"Uh... hehe, thank you very much, young lady." Li Jiu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
"By the way, here is my contact information. If you come to Binhai City next time, you can come to me directly. I will give you a discount next time..." The girl smiled and took out a white card from her pocket, handed it to Li Jiu, and winked at him slightly ambiguously.
"Well... okay, be careful on the road." Li Jiu smiled awkwardly and put away the business card.
"Haha, thanks." Elena smiled faintly, then turned around and disappeared into the dark rain forest alone...
"Let's go! Still watching?"
Just as Li Jiu was watching Elena leave, Bella suddenly came over and said with resentment on her face.
"Well... let's go." Li Jiu said with a helpless smile.
Then, everyone rushed towards the isolated peak in front with their weapons.
…
After a while, they arrived at the foot of the solitary peak.
Just like every other mission, before the official attack, Bacchus also took out a magnetic storm bomb and cut off the enemy base's communication equipment.
Then, everyone started to climb the lonely peak.
Although the solitary peak was steep, it was not very high. So it didn't take long for everyone to reach the top and quietly sneak into the castle.
Maybe the defenders thought the location of this secret base was relatively hidden, so they didn't set up any protection around it, so Li Jiu and his team sneaked in easily...
After entering the castle, Li Jiu looked at the specific situation around him and found that this was exactly where the defender appeared in the FireWire game, that is, the open space near point A.
Speaking of the Wolf's Lair map, the general terrain is like a big "AUG" line. The upper vertex of "AUG" is point A, and the lower right corner vertex of "AUG" is point "A".
At points A and A, the defender's two energy devices are placed respectively.
The mission goal of Li Jiu and his team this time is to eliminate all enemies in the wolf's den and blow up two energy storage devices!
"Damn, this place is a bit weird..." Bacchus said with a puzzled look while holding Gatling and looking at the intersections on both sides.
At the same time, the other team members looked around vigilantly and showed puzzled expressions.
Because this place is really too quiet...
Combined with the dim light in the castle, it has a very eerie and creepy feeling...
In the past, whenever we were on a mission, we would basically be discovered by the enemy as soon as we entered the enemy’s base.
But this time... the situation in the castle gave everyone a truly desolate feeling, as if there were no enemies at all in this place...
Li Jiu also frowned, feeling confused and uncertain.
Because, before sneaking in, he had already used soul control outside the castle, wanting to find out the enemy's specific deployment inside, so that he could seize the initiative in the battle later.
However, after using soul control to investigate, he did not find any trace of the enemy in the castle...
If you can't see the ghost warrior with the naked eye, that's nothing, but under the control of the soul, the enemy should have nowhere to hide!
"Could it be that... there are really no enemies in this place?" Li Jiu wondered to himself, and at the same time, he used soul control again with some reluctance.
However, the result of the second investigation was that no enemies were found...
Could it be that the enemies here received intelligence in advance and knew that we were coming to attack, so they evacuated in advance?
But...this shouldn't be the case!
According to the defenders ' style, if they knew in advance that the alliance was going to attack, they should gather their forces and kill all the invading alliance mercenaries!
There is absolutely no way they can escape without a fight!
Besides, now that we are standing here, we can still vaguely hear the operation sounds of the energy storage devices at points A and A.
This means that the enemy's energy is still here. If they had escaped in advance, how could they have left behind these two important energy devices?
Weird!
This situation is not in line with common sense and is really too weird!
Therefore, although they did not see the enemy, Li Jiu and his team members were even more alert and held their weapons with extra vigilance.
As the saying goes, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
"Brother...I wonder if we have come to the wrong place? Maybe this is really just an abandoned castle?" Bacchus said to Li Jiu while paying attention to the movements around him.
After hearing what Bacchus said, everyone was speechless.
Wrong place? How is that possible? Didn't you hear the humming of the energy devices around you?
"No, we didn't find the wrong place. It's just...something seems to be wrong, everyone be careful." No one else was bothered to pay attention to the big fool Bakus, only the captain Kachi explained with a cold expression.
"Kaki is right, the situation is indeed very wrong!" Scar Brother held the golden AK47 and nodded vigilantly.
Years of combat experience made the two captains feel that today's mission was not going well...
"Stand here and don't walk around. I'll go take a look." At this moment, Li Jiu, who had used his supernatural power twice in a row without any results, became impatient and said, "Bakus, give me the explosive pack on you."
"Okay." Bacchus nodded and took out the C4 explosive pack from his back and handed it to Li Jiu.
"Be careful." Seeing that Li Jiu was planning to explore the way alone, Kaqi's expression changed and she reminded him.
"Well, don't worry." Li Jiu smiled indifferently and nodded.
Then, he put away his smile and carefully headed towards the nearest point A...
"boom!"
Unexpectedly, just when Li Jiu stepped into the room at point A, the heavy steel door outside suddenly slammed shut!
