Chapter 335 New Era Day
The elevator descends at a fairly fast speed.
One minute.
Two minutes.
three minutes.
The elevator is still descending.
The change in air pressure made the group feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Those few minutes are enough time for the base to react.
Everyone knew what they would face once the elevator arrived.
They tightened their grip on their guns and silently took deep breaths.
Finally, the elevator stopped.
"bite--"
A crisp notification sound rang out.
The elevator doors slowly opened.
Outside the door was a wide passageway.
The lights were dim and yellow, unable to illuminate the end.
It was eerily quiet.
There were no soldiers, no gunshots, not even the sound of footsteps.
Night Owl narrowed his eyes and made a hand gesture.
The team members, guns at the ready, carefully stepped out of the elevator.
On both sides of the passage are smooth metal walls.
There was no decoration, only cold steel.
"Number Two, how's the situation on your end?"
Night Owl switches channels.
"Same here, no resistance was encountered."
The snake's voice came, also tinged with doubt.
"keep going."
The two troops advanced deeper into the passage.
I walked less than fifty meters.
"Boom—"
A loud noise came from behind.
The owl suddenly turned around.
At both ends of the passage, heavy metal gates fell simultaneously.
"Bang!"
The gate slammed into the ground, sending sparks flying.
The entire passage was sealed off instantly.
"Damn it!"
The owl rushed to the gate and pushed hard.
Not moving.
"Blow it up!"
The team members immediately took out C4 explosives and attached them to the gate.
"Back off!"
"boom--"
The explosion resounded in the confined space, causing a painful thud in the eardrums.
The smoke dissipated.
Only a charred mark remained on the sluice gate.
There were no cracks, no deformation, not even a dent.
The owl's pupils contracted.
"This is... the latest metal from Great Xia, Zheng Gold?"
He reached out and touched the gate, feeling the cold touch on his fingertips.
He had seen that dark silver luster in intelligence photos.
New materials from Daxia.
Its hardness far exceeds that of any known metal.
"We're trapped."
The venomous snake's voice came through the channel, filled with suppressed rage.
"Same for number two, the explosives are ineffective."
Night Owl took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
They were unable to contact command at this depth.
Even if they could make contact, his superiors had made it clear to him privately that they would not receive any support.
They can only rely on themselves!
Night Owl began to think, recalling the ease he felt when he entered the base. He suddenly clenched his fist, his teeth grinding together.
"We... have fallen into a trap."
How is it possible that they were able to enter a military base, and one that clearly harbors secrets, without losing a single person?
The voice just fell.
"hiss--"
The sound of gas leaking could be heard from the top of the tunnel.
A pale yellow smoke billowed out of the vent.
The smoke spread rapidly, filling the entire passageway.
"Gas mask!"
The owl roared.
The team members immediately put on masks.
But it was completely useless.
When the smoke comes into contact with the skin, a burning sensation and intense itching occur.
"Cough cough..."
Someone started coughing and swaying.
The owl felt dizzy and its vision began to blur.
He gritted his teeth, trying to stay awake.
But his body wouldn't obey him; his legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees.
"Damn it... Great Xia..."
With his last ounce of strength, he looked toward the end of the passage.
There, on the metal wall, a red camera was pointed directly at him.
Behind the camera, it seemed as if someone was sneering.
"We...were targeted...from the very beginning..."
Consciousness plunged into darkness.
.......
The passage goes deeper.
The true core base.
Inside the monitoring room, more than a dozen screens were lit up.
In the footage, members of both special forces teams are all lying on the ground.
A middle-aged military officer in uniform stood with his hands behind his back, staring blankly at the screen.
"Report, all targets are unconscious." The technician turned to report.
The middle-aged officer nodded.
"Send someone to lock them in the interrogation room, and have another intrusion team keep an eye on them as they exit the elevator. Once they come out, repeat the same trick."
"yes!"
He turned and looked at the huge map on the wall.
The structure of the Arctic base is clearly visible on the map.
The upper level is a typical military base that is displayed to the public.
The lower level is the true core area.
Two completely independent systems.
"The intelligence agencies of the United States are really willing to spend money."
The middle-aged officer sneered.
"They've even brought out zero-day vulnerabilities."
He walked to another screen.
The screen displays the real-time status of the base's network system.
"Unfortunately, what you hacked into was just the old system we deliberately left for you."
"The real core isn't there at all."
The adjutant also laughed:
"They're really stupid. Once we caught that traitor, we would definitely have replaced the entire base's operating system."
"Those zero-day vulnerabilities of theirs are just invalid code in the face of the new system."
The middle-aged officer snorted coldly.
"You forgetful fools! The recent exercises seem to have taught you enough; you're trying to pull another trick!"
He looked at the unconscious special forces soldiers on the screen, his eyes cold.
"Has this been reported?"
"It's already been reported!"
......
The deepest part of the New Kyoto Underground City.
Conference Room 1.
The five leaders sat around an oval table.
All signals are blocked here. There are no recorders, no cameras, and even cell phones are locked outside.
The second-in-command looked up, glanced at the other four people, and pushed a document to the center of the table.
"The Arctic Army base was infiltrated by US special forces last night."
Several people picked up the documents and began to read them.
The third-ranking leader frowned:
"Three teams, forty-five men, all captured?"
"Mm." Number Two nodded.
"They even used zero-day vulnerabilities, but unfortunately, the system they hacked into was an old system that we deliberately left for them."
The fourth leader closed the document: "The United States is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing. They suffered a loss not long ago, yet they still haven't given up."
Number Two laughed: "With such a big commotion, it's no wonder they can't hold back."
Leader No. 5 put down the documents and stared at Leader No. 2:
"Since the trap was already set and the losses weren't significant, you didn't call us here for this reason, did you?"
Number Two put away his smile:
"That's right."
He paused, did not answer immediately, and instead changed the subject.
"Our underground city is almost finished after three months of intensive construction; all that's left is the interior 'decoration'."
"With the New Hope Project in place, we finally have the confidence to fight against the apocalypse!"
"Great chaos naturally harbors great opportunities!"
"So, I have an idea."
"A bold idea."
"Whether we can unify the world depends on this."
Everyone was startled, but they remained calm.
Question 3:
"Tell me about it?"
Number Two said calmly:
"Let's turn the tables and launch the elimination plan."
Upon hearing this, the entire meeting room was momentarily stunned, then erupted into a heated argument.
Finally, they reached a consensus and the leaders left in a hurry.
This day will be defined as the beginning of a new era.
First, Great Xia publicly announced this shameless infiltration operation by the United States to the international community. Then, it said that it would retaliate in kind, dispatching its fleet and troops to the border.
At the same time, the Great Xia entered a state of first-level combat readiness and was placed under military control, with all citizens being relocated to the underground city.
A nuclear missile was launched into the sky within the territory of the Antarctic Eagle Nation!
The target is an underground city of Great Xia located in Antarctica!
