Chapter 164: Raze to the Ground

How to reduce the manufacturing costs of biochemical beasts, and bring them forward for true use in the civilian world, not just in the world of slaughter.

This was the problem that Mute’s father was trying to solve. He was a researcher who worked on decreasing the power of biochemical beasts and their manufacturing costs, wishing to use them in the civilian world. The military didn’t attach much importance to this, so he had become a victim of terrorists, who seized the breakthroughs he made in biochemical beasts and took his life.

Eliminating terrorists became the one and only motive of Mute for the past five years. All his efforts had been for the sake of this objective.

Though he clearly knew that Du Zhanpeng had gotten close to him not out of true goodwill and friendship, but just as a way to recruit him, Mute didn’t refuse.

As long as he could exact revenge, it didn’t matter to him even if he transforms into a demon and fell into hell after he died.

Big Rock was just as worried. In this cabin of the aircraft throughout their flying route, they weren’t allowed to stand up too many times. However, he slowly moved to Qin Fen’s side and whispered. “I know that there are very few people who can stop Mute once he enters into a state of hysteria. You can do it, so…”

“I understand.” Qin Fen slowly nodded. “If his fury truly muddles his brain on the battlefield, I will knock him out.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. We are comrades.”

The cabin of the aircraft fell into a state of silence once more. The only sound was the rumbling of the propellers.

Qin Fen silently used the rejuvenation art to make adjustments to his own body strength. Having experienced true terrorists in the past, he knew that he had nearly lost his life in the last mission he undertook, which was barely a B-level mission. This time the mission was actually an A-level mission. Would he really have the extra energy to go looking after other people on the battlefield?

The X2 smoothly flew for a period of time when suddenly everyone felt it slow in its advancement. In the end, the X2 stopped its advancement in the air completely, still a distance away from the coast.

Looking down from the helicopter, one could see that there an island below, yet again!

The island was much larger in area than Happy Paradise Island.

This island had the same environment; it was a tropical rainforest. However, there was a building made of stone. Green moss covered half of the building, adding a bit of the air of mystery to it.

Rustle…

The cockpit connected to the cabin suddenly opened, and a first lieutenant walked out from inside. He pointed out a few metal cases in the cabin and said, “These are your weapons. Grab your weapons and prepare to be sent into combat. Your target is to breach the huge building of rock by fourteen thirty in the afternoon. Rescue a researcher out from there.”

A researcher? A change occurred in Mute’s eyes once more. The tragedy of his father’s death back in the day reemerged in his mind at this moment.

The first lieutenant’s voice fell, and the metal case automatically sprung open. The weapons placed inside were shockingly P308 Carbine Rifles, the weapon that everyone was most familiar with these days. There was also a batch of highly explosive offensive combustion grenades.

The other metal boxes followed in turn, letting out popping sounds as they opened. Inside the cases were rows and rows were fourth-generation Dragon Skin bulletproof vests.

A faint smile finally appeared on Qin Fen’s face. The military finally moved some resources. The offensive weapons that they gave them weren’t really that amazing. Luckily, the bulletproof vests were decent.

The top American armor company created the Dragon Skin bulletproof vest. When the first generation was just produce, these vests possessed bulletproof capabilities that were extremely astonishing. They wouldn’t be pierced by forty shots of the military standard seven point six two millimeters round from a distance of six meters away. And, they could block seven point six two millimeter steel core armor-piercing bullets. Nine-millimeter submachine guns were absolutely ineffective against them.

It could be said that no more breakthroughs could be made with the first generation of Dragon Skin bulletproof vests aside from adding an anti-shock function. Defensive capabilities had already reached an utterly amazing level.

After a few rounds of improvements, the Federation’s top armor company created the fourth generation of Dragon Skin. Not only had its defensive capabilities increase by quite a bit, its anti-shock function had become much stronger as well.

The fourth-generation was absolutely different from the first generation of Dragon Skin, where even though the bullets of an assault rifle wouldn’t pierce the body, the powerful forces of impact would simply pound the wearer to death.

Qin Fen put on the Dragon Skin bulletproof vest and put on a Kevlar bulletproof helmet, which had a weight exceeding three kilograms. Such heavy helmets didn’t possess much advanced technology. The only function it had was a better performance in terms of blocking bullets. Someone wielding an AK-47 assault rifle at a distance of a hundred meters away wouldn’t even have the thought of killing the wearer of the helmet.

Out of nowhere, pages and pages of digital and virtual map projections appeared on the wall of the cabin at this time.

Qin Fen wrinkled his brow as he chose a P308, two grenades, and a smoke bomb. He sat back down to his original spot and looked at the digital map that floated in the air. The more he looked, the more tightly his brow wrinkled.

From the map, he could see that the building, which looked to be a civilian building, possessed a certain battle design used in the military. This was that it was suited for defending, not for attacking.

If the top wanted them to quickly and smoothly capture this place, even if they don’t provide them with mobile armors or other heavy weapons, they should be providing a portion of them with grenade launchers, mortars, or other light weaponry.

Qin Fen looked at the P308 in his hands. Then he looked back up at the pages of virtual and digital maps once again. If the enemy possessed a batch of mortars and grenade launchers, going out with their current loadout, even with the outstanding bulletproof vests, was no different than going out to die.

No matter how great the flexibility of the P308 was, its power was just as constant as always. It wouldn’t become stronger.

Plus, the load-outs were too uniform. A combat unit should have a sniper allocated to them, at the very least, right? Even if a sniper wasn’t allocated, they should be allocating them with sniper equipment, right?

Qin Fen looked at the environment outside of the cabin of the aircraft once more. He began to curse those who had given the orders for this mission. He cursed, wishing that the top’s future kids would be born without butt holes. It would’ve been much better if Qin Fen and the other recruits were notified about this earlier and were given components to change their loadout. Allowing them to change their loadout would have been much better than forcing them to stick with this P308.

“Are there any recruits among you that are snipers?” The first lieutenant opened the last case at this time.

Qin Fen finally revealed a smile when he saw this case. It was the Barret M82A1 heavy duty sniper rifle!

Qin Fen immediately discarded his P308 in his seat. He made a sudden stride forward, charging up, shocking everyone with his speed. He quickly assembled the Barret M82A1 sniper rifle to completion.

Though it was a standard unmodified sniper rifle, when compared to the P308 in might, it was in a totally different class.

The first lieutenant cracked his neck twice. “Happy Paradise Island really is deserving of its reputation, to be able to train recruit blockheads and produce a recruit that is this familiar with sniper rifle equipment.”

Qin Fen didn’t feel like explaining to the first lieutenant after hearing this praise and compliment. There were all sorts of special bullets used for sniping within the case. He didn’t miss a single bullet as he collected them all.

“Kids, your enemies number approximately a hundred, roughly equal to your number of people.” The first lieutenant opened the cabin door of the aircraft at this time. A rope flew out of the cabin door, and he gave a confident salute. “Little fellows, remember that your mission is to mount a frontal breakthrough. I wish you all good luck.”

Mute, who had long since run out of patience, raised his weapon and was the first to rush out the cabin door. Qin Fen didn’t rush to jump out immediately. He studied the map for more time, and the sullen look on his face grew deeper by quite a bit.

According to the map’s illustration, there are at least three different places where they could make a frontal breakthrough. There are two checkpoints where the enemy could come to defend. If they were to mount the breakthrough at the first place, they will be faced with two passageways to choose from.

Both the left and right passageways would lead to the second checkpoint of the enemy. The left side had mountain rock as obstruction, and as long as one turned the corner and entered the passageway ahead, he would find himself within the range of the enemies’ firepower.

The right side was a tunnel that had been bored through the mountain. This tunnel had a length that was approximately three stories high, and around fifty to seventy meters opposite to the tunnel was another tunnel. If the enemy dispatched a few people there, all they needed to do was to use a few automatic rifles, and the enemy could suppress the recruit forces of nearly a hundred people to be unable to raise their heads.

“Kid, what are you thinking about?” The first lieutenant patted Qin Fen on the shoulders. “There is no more time. If y’all are unable to save the person by the time limit, remember to immediately make your escape. We will be dispatching heavy bombers from above to completely raze this terrorist base to the ground.”

“Raze to the ground?” Qin Fen was a bit shocked. Just what sort of hostage was being kept in the space? To be this important to the military?

Standing before the cabin door, Qin Fen enjoyed the biting cold winds of the sky assault his body. He looked at the terrorist base in the distance, and a feeling of unease rose once more in his heart.

————-

The Malay Archipelago. Known as the world’s largest cluster of islands.

There were over twenty thousand islands here, and quite a few islands didn’t even have names.

The enormous quantity of islands, in addition to their mysterious tropical rainforests, made it so that even the military satellites in the skies above found it difficult to detect every matter that occurred here with absolute clarity.

Such a geographical environment made it so that the Malay Archipelago became the number one paradise for the activities of many underground powers.

Military satellites were incapable of clearly examining this place. The underground powers here, on the other hand, had cameras installed all over the place. Every single matter could be seen by them with absolute clarity.

Within the island’s building of huge stone, over a hundred display screens were transmitting live video from places of interest all over the island twenty-four hours without interruption.

At the operator’s desk before the screens, a pair of black and tall military boots were crossed and on top of the densely packed buttons. These boots would even gently rock from time to time.

“Recruits? What is the Federation up to? Do they want to overlook the fact that we have kidnapped someone? These exploring recruits have very good movements. It’s a pity that they haven’t discovered the cameras. I am confident that soon they will feel incomparable regret when they see their companions die…”

Pop… static… static…

Two screens now displayed the black-and-white snow of static. Two of the fixed cameras had been instantly destroyed.

The long black military boots, which were gently swaying in complacency, went completely still in this instant.

After two minutes of being stunned, the owner of the black leather boots spoke out once more. “An accident? Or were they discovered? Immediately activate the reserve moving creature detector.”

In the tree where the camera was installed, two gray eyes of a mouse carefully and cautiously peeked out of a hole in the tree. It cautiously looked left and right, and its four tiny feet quickly spurred its body to walk out of the hole in the tree.
