Chapter 118 [Snow Mountains, Footprints, Enemies]
In the mountainous areas in northern Russia, snow is everywhere, and the large cedar forests on the mountain exudes a different kind of beautiful scenery under the sun.
Gu Ren and his group were wailing in the mist and panting on the snow-capped mountain.
Caesar looked at the towering mountains and said in annoyance: "I regret bringing this weapon a little."
"Isn't this your favorite? Why? Do you want to give up on her?" Highway Randy glanced at the M1216 assault shotgun held in Caesar's arms. This gun is very good, but it is much heavier than a conventional rifle in terms of weight. With the No. 12 caliber shotgun in the magazine, it weighs about 3KG.
"How could I give up on it!" Caesar held the assault shotgun in his arms tightly.
"Okay, let's keep some energy and talk less."
Captain Barney turned around and glanced at the two of them, then looked at the snow-capped mountains that were out of reach, and spit out a mouthful of white mist, "Everyone find a place to rest, Billy, go and see if there are any suitable places for camping nearby."
The crashed plane crashed two days ago in this snowy mountain. Now two days have passed. In addition, there was another heavy snow in the local area yesterday, covering up the traces of the plane. It will be nowhere to be found. It will soon be dark again, so I have to find a place to camp.
"No problem, boss." Billy ran quickly towards the mountain on the right with his gun in his arms. His speed was very fast, and he disappeared from everyone's sight in almost three or two steps.
"He ran so fast."
Christmas Jason showed envious eyes. After climbing a mountain for several hours in such a cold day, he still had the strength to run. The young man's physique is good.
Barney patted his shoulder and smiled, "Don't envy Jason, take everyone to camp and rest."
"I'm not envious." Jason rolled his eyes at Barney, turned around and waved to let Caesar and Randy prepare to camp with him.
When Gu Ren was about to come forward to help Jason set up a tent, Barney walked over and said, "Hawkeye, it's time for you to play."
Gu Ren spread his hands and smiled: "It seems that my plan to be lazy is not working."
"I'll give you a chance to be lazy when I go back."
Barney grinned and said seriously: "The plane sent a GPS positioning before the crash, but because of the special magnetic field in the snow mountain, the specific positioning of the latitude and longitude is a bit inaccurate. However, I guess it should be on the east side of the snow mountain. You should go to the east before dark to take a look."
Barney took out two small GPS positioning machines from his backpack and handed them over, "This is a GPS that can accurately locate your and me coordinates."
Gu Ren took the GPS and looked at it. There were two red dots on it, one of which is Barney and the other is this machine.
"Pick up the walkie-talkie and find the trace of the plane, or report any situation as soon as possible, we will rush over to support you."
“OK.”
Gu Ren put the walkie-talkie on the walkie-talkie and put the GPS in his backpack. Before leaving, he noticed that Maggie was staring at him. Without thinking too much, he turned around and ran towards the east of Xueshan with a rifle.
...
At around five o'clock in the evening, the sun gradually sets west, and the bitter cold wind blows snowflakes. Gu Ren is foggy in his mouth, walking step by step in the snow-covered cedar forest.
The white snow and the towering cedar forest seriously hindered Gu Ren's view from afar. Fortunately, it did not snow today, otherwise it would be very painful to climb the mountain on a snowy day.
As he walked, Gu Ren suddenly stopped and rushed toward a large cedar tree. He opened the security of the rifle in his arms. While preparing for the battle, he listened silently to the movements in the snow forest.
After waiting for a few minutes and not hearing any movement, Gu Ren carefully moved a little, looked forward under the cover of the cedar tree.
No one!
Confirm that there was no one around, Gu Ren stood up and walked on the road before, squatted down and looked at the few footprints clearly visible on the ground. The lines of these footprints looked very similar to professional snow hiking boots, and they looked very clear. They should be left by someone just a while ago. From the sizes of several different footprints, this group of people are both men and women.
This snow-capped mountain is rarely visited, and there is no family at the foot of the mountain. It is unlikely that these footprints were left by local Russians.
Is there anyone else coming for the crashed plane?
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Ren frowned. Sure enough, the mission this time was indeed not that simple, and another wave of people came for the plane.
When Gu Ren took out the walkie-talkie to report this to Barney, he found that the walkie-talkie was "sizzling" and there was no signal at all, so he could not contact the captain and the others on the mountainside.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly broke out, and the sky suddenly became dark, and dark clouds instantly covered the entire snow-capped mountain. Unconsciously, heavy snow fell from the sky like goose feathers.
It's snowing?
Gu Ren looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, pondered for a few seconds, and decided to go back to find the captain and the others first.
...
At this moment, five figures appeared in a cedar forest that was only a few hundred meters away from Gu Ren.
"Can you find the signal of the black box in the plane?" Ethan looked back at his right-hand assistant Declan.
"No." Declan shook his head and said, "The snow-capped mountains here seem to have some natural magnetic field. The signals emitted by the black box are blocked, and I have no way to capture them."
McLin, a computer expert from the CIA Intelligence Department, came to Declan's notebook and looked at it. Seeing that he was still using the old method to search for signals from the black box, he reminded him: "Maybe you can try satellite positioning. If I remember correctly, the Intelligence Department said that before the plane crashed, a GPS positioning section would be sent, and using satellites to conduct large-scale searches would be good."
"Good idea!" Declan's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened a software, and quickly tapped on his laptop with both hands, preparing to use CIA's dedicated satellite to satellite position the snow-capped mountain.
Ethan Gao glanced at Melin, turned to Declan and asked, "How long does it take to locate satellites?"
"It will take some time to mobilize satellites, and I have to apply to it." Declan replied while writing the code.
There was still some time before Ethan looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, got up, took out a simple tent from his backpack, and shouted at another team member: "Luther, come here to help set up the tent."
Upon hearing this, a tall black man came over. He was a member of Ethan's action team and accompanied Ethan to complete many impossible tasks. He was Ethan's right-hand assistant.
Not far away, Shaute, who was leaning behind the cedar tree, looked at Ethan and others who were setting up a tent, took out a small button-sized electronic tracker from his pocket, stuck to the trunk, and then turned around and walked to Mailin to sit down.
...
More than ten minutes later, at the side of the snow-capped mountain.
Gu Ren ran all the way and finally found the members of the suicide squad that had been camped.
"There are footprints?"
Barney frowned. He didn't expect that there was a group of people on this snow-capped mountain that was rarely visited.
Gu Ren nodded and said, "The footprints are very new, and they should be not far from where I was at that time. I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn't move forward."
"I informed them of Christmas, and wait until the wind and snow stop, and leave a few people to watch at night. We will set out to look for the crashed plane early tomorrow morning."
