Chapter 599 Forbidden Words
Alderick was the commander of this infiltrating operation. He did not have much confidence in the success of this operation. The reason was that the previous three infiltrations failed and did not obtain any defense information of the floating island on the sea. Such blind actions were completely feasible. However, the gentlemen behind him could no longer wait. The floating island on the sea was about to enter the official operation, and if they didn't take action, there would be no chance.
For three months, reconnaissance satellites have been passing by the sea floating island and taken many detailed photos. However, these photos cannot solve the following problem, namely what kind of defense measures are hidden under the sea surface. From the photos that have been long been broken, Alderick clearly saw that the sea floating island basically has no defensive power, and the scattered turrets have recently begun to be installed, and it is estimated that at least one week of debugging will take effect.
In other words, once the frogman troops sneaked to the island, the unarmed engineers and workers could not make any resistance, which was also the confidence of the gentlemen behind him to make such instructions boldly. Even these gentlemen arrogantly believed that the best plan was to conduct attacks during the day, because the enemy would inevitably strengthen their security at night. This so-called targeted blind spot thinking at the level of kindergarten class made Alderick in a dilemma, but in the end he could not resist the temptation of high salaries.
The most important point is that even if he fails, there is a sum of money to shut up the captured person. This is a safety rope for Alderick. Anyway, he is not afraid of being caught, because he is a famous mercenary himself. A celebrity who works as soon as he gives money thinks it should be easy to find a few excuses and not say the employer.
The previous reconnaissance failed inexplicably. He first sent a guy disguised as a fisherman to try to approach the floating island on the excuse of fishing. As expected, he was captured and has not heard any response so far. Then, he sent two batches of people to try to sneak into the warehouse on the island, hoping to hide in the pile of materials and mix into the floating island by taking advantage of the opportunity of transporting a large amount of materials, but there was no response.
There were obviously no guards on this small island, but only a few middle-aged custodians. Why couldn't the elites under him send any information back? This is so strange. Alderick failed three times in a row and stopped, but the gentlemen behind him stopped doing it and forced him to go out as soon as possible, otherwise he would be nice.
Alderick knew very well what was behind these people, and that was a giant that he could never afford to offend. Although he was famous in the mercenary world now, those people didn't have to do it themselves if they wanted to destroy them, and even the South African weapons company could send people to kill him directly. This is the current world trend. Large-scale mercenaries are no longer realistic. A large number of mercenary organizations have transformed into military contractors. If he hadn't had money, he would have transformed.
Alderick thought secretly that this was no longer the era of their old guys being arrogant. The situation where more than ten people could do business is gone forever. He had already made plans and washed his hands after doing this. He found a beautiful Caribbean island for this life. The money he earned over the years was enough for him to squander the next life.
The signal was sent from the front of the cardboard, indicating that it would slow down. Alderick reduced the speed of the underwater thruster to 5 knots and slowly came over to see the gesture of the cardboard. The cardboard meant that there was a strange underwater ball here, which looked a bit like a mine. Since it was not clear whether it was a vibration explosion type, the cardboard recommended to go around.
But if the enemy lays a mine, it will definitely not be alone. Mines are goods that win by quantity, like mines, or they have to be installed in dangerous terrain. What is the will happen to a mine that is lonely in such an open sea?
Alderick was puzzled, but even if he looked around, it would be difficult for him to see the iron ball more than 30 meters away in the turbid sea area thirty or forty meters below the sea level. Although the iron ball was not small. Alderick signaled the others to stop the propeller and stand still, and he swam slowly over to see what was going on. Before he could swim ten meters, a strange light beam of light appeared in the turbid sea water.
Just now, he thought that the ball was a little weird. Now that he had swam closer, he found that there was a light blue beam at the bottom of the ball that penetrated directly into the depths of the sea. This beam looked like the laser beam in "Star Wars", but Alderick knew very well that "Star Wars" was a science fiction film.
This situation made him feel deeply uneasy. Alderick hurried back to the team and ventured to turn on the phone and said, "The situation here is very abnormal, I think we should retreat."
Others didn't agree. It would be a waste of time to let this group of mercenaries who claimed to be elites retreat with a mine. Kabon supported the captain's decision. He was the closest person to the "Mine" and could vaguely see the laser cable at the bottom.
But there was no time to make a decision for them internally. Several unique single-person submarines soon appeared on the front and rear of the team. The orange streamlined shell and the front bulge with blue light flashing, making people know at a glance that this thing is definitely not a good product.
Alderick noticed the lightning with sharp eyes and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack! All disperse and retreat!" The mercenaries knew danger faster than anyone else, and immediately scattered, trying to cause trouble for the enemy's pursuit.
There are two types of underwater thrusters used by this mercenary team. One is single-person, with the advantages being high concealment and low noise, but the disadvantage is that they are not fast enough and cannot carry more equipment and ammunition; the other is double-person, with many equipment such as sonar devices, headlights, electronic navigation, seat belts, etc. In addition, they can also carry 150 kilograms of weapons and ammunition, or replace them with other supplies.
Large thrusters are like small boats, which are very suitable for large squadrons to fight, but Alderick can't afford that kind of luxury equipment, and his team is too small and there is no need to do it. Now he realizes that it is simply impossible to escape the pursuit of such an unprecedented single-person submarine by relying on single-person or double-person underwater thrusters.
The unlucky guy, Kabon, was first hit. A cluster of electric sparks were emitted from the bulge at the front of the single-person submarine. Kabon and his single-person underwater thruster immediately stopped moving and drifted forward only by inertia. If it were on the sea, you should have seen the spectacular scene of the thruster smoking. Kabon, the unlucky boy, had already twitched all over his body and foamed at his mouth. If he hadn't brought his breathing mask, he would have drowned now.
The single-person submarine lightly swept over the head of Kaban, dropped a hook and grabbed the rope strap on the frogman's suit on Kaban's own, hooking him like an octopus and drifting behind the submarine. Kaban's encounter inspired other mercenaries, who drove their underwater propellers to the highest level, and they didn't care about any diving rules. The propeller quickly stirred in the sea and left a road map full of bubbles and ripples.
The second unlucky one was an Annan mercenary. His dark skin did not add protective color to him. He was convulsed by the electric shock and then gradually sank into the sea. Because he bought a snorkel for cheap, he drowned shortly after being shocked. Since there was no rescue value at all, the submarine didn't even look at it. It can be imagined that his body would definitely turn into a feast for fish under the sea.
For some reason, when seeing this situation, those mercenaries who are usually generous in their hands regret it. As expected, equipment is the life of the mercenaries. Those mercenaries who bought breathing masks actually breathed a sigh of relief. Even if they were treated with electric shock once, they would not be killed. It seems that being generous has the benefits of being generous.
Alderick was crying without tears. He was the type who was greedy for cheapness. He had realized his fate. Once he was shocked, he would have to feed the fish like the guy named Ruan. However, he had been a mercenary business for more than 20 years. He knew that he would die and found a way out. While adjusting the direction of the underwater thruster to the upwards, he shouted in the communicator: "Everyone floats up! Pay attention to the speed!"
They are now in sea water more than 50 meters deep. If they float up quickly, diving disease is the sickle wielding by the god of death. The so-called diving disease is an obstacle caused by the rapid return of the deep-sea high pressure conditions to the ground. The nitrogen dissolved in the body fluids quickly turns into bubbles due to changes in air pressure, causing embolism. If this gas embolization, decompression disease is not treated in time, it will lead to death.
So even if the mercenaries were anxious, they had to slow down the rise. During this period, several mercenaries were electrocuted, two of them were killed, and one of them was caught by the hook and dragged behind. Alderick finally saw the long-lost backlight on the sea. The reflection in the sun made him feel an unparalleled joy. As long as he floated out of the sea, there would be a way out. Even if he was electrocuted, he could ensure that he would not sink as long as he was held tightly.
It seemed that the God of Death also heard his prayer. With His grim smile, a single submarine passed by lightly behind him. The old mercenary in his fifties couldn't help but dance. The submarine was too fast and he went around and pushed him out of the sea with force, but it was too late at that time. It only took one minute to drown and suffocate until death, not to mention that he had been electrocuted and lost consciousness.
After Alderick's body surfaced, it was still tightly entangled with the underwater thruster. His left hand was already wrapped around the thruster handle by himself with a rope, staring at the distance with lifeless eyes, as if looking at the beautiful Caribbean Sea from afar.
The mercenary team was finally captured and 9 died. The dead, including captain Alderick, only one deputy captain named Nathan knew some inside information. In order to survive, Nathan explained everything he knew. In the end, Liu Jinpeng handed Nathan and his other six accomplices to the subsequent Royal Investigation Agency operator.
This emergency proved two things. One is that some people are still worried about the thiefs on the sea floating island, and the other is that the underwater defense structure of the floating island has been tested and proved to be effective. In addition, Nathan and Kaben confessed that this raid was used to approach the edge of the high seas with a submarine and then infiltrate with an underwater thruster. It can be seen that the peripheral defense still needs to be considered, and at least more detection devices must be installed.
