Chapter 176 "You will have your retribution sooner or later."

The operation against Wrangel Island was no easy task.

One is that the distance is too long. If you want to cross the neighboring countries from the northernmost part of country C, the number of kilometers will be quite considerable.Just looking at Feng Lei and the others chasing Joe Aiden at full speed for so many days without any results, we know that this road is not easy to walk.

The second is that because of the climate, their people have not done targeted special training in such an extremely harsh environment. If they rashly go to the island without knowing the situation on the island, it may cause unnecessary damage.

And the most important thing is that it is winter now, and the temperature on Wrangel Island can reach minus [-] or [-] degrees, and it is almost in an "isolated island" state, making it impossible to land.

If you want to go to the island, you will have to wait until the weather warms up slightly in a few months at the earliest, and the connecting bridge leading to Wrangel Island will be able to resume driving.

"If you want me to say, June is the earliest." Liu Ruosong is very familiar with extreme environments. He has been to many no-man's lands, so he was also drawn to be a "strategic staff officer": "June is relatively safe. The temperature in the city should hover between minus ten degrees and five degrees above zero, which is the limit the human body can tolerate, as long as we take measures to keep warm, there will be no danger."

"Six months." Zhao Jincheng said: "There is still half a year, which is too long. Xiao Liuer, the situation is stronger than people."

"If you don't look at the bridge, you can walk from the sky." He Tang said: "The straight-line distance between the neighboring country and the island is not far, and a helicopter can pass."

"You can't just look at whether you can land." Liu Ruosong said: "The weather conditions there are too bad, and the island is so big. Finding a research institute that doesn't know where is not a needle in a haystack, but a fish in a lake. If you can’t keep up, you might freeze to death.”

Normally, Liu Ruosong would not be so eager to dictate the plans of their combat troops, but with Fu Yan in this operation, he didn't want to take any risks.

Fu Yan gently pressed Liu Ruosong's hand from under the table.

"It is necessary to take an empty road." Fu Yan said: "Aero turboshaft engines can ensure that the means of transportation will not go on strike in extreme environments."

"But—" Liu Ruosong was in a hurry.

"But it's definitely not possible to go in this season now." Fu Yan squeezed his hand and signaled him to be calm: "minus seventy degrees below zero, where can I find transportation equipment that can withstand this low temperature for the time being."

Their purpose of this operation is to find the base camp research institute hidden on Wrangel Island, and they are not going to the island to rob a bank, just grab something and run away.Such a huge ice island, if they want to find someone, they will definitely not be able to walk inch by inch with their legs.

What He Feng meant was to ambush the supply truck and the medical disposal truck. After all, Chris once said that they would regularly dispose of medical waste there. Since this is the case, the institute must have channels for regular communication with the outside world.

No matter how severe the world situation is, as long as this place is not abandoned by Joe Eden, it must have its own transportation laws.

But Fu Yan doesn't express much optimism about this, he prefers to study all the sufficient self-operating abilities-after so many years, the operation mode of the institute may not be the same as it was six or seven years ago.

As for supplies, the unique temperature conditions allow them to store whatever they want, even if the steak was dug out from under the ice seven years ago, they can still eat it.

And the most important thing is that Wrangel Island is not like the other side of the Honglan River. It may even be Joe Eden's last stronghold, so it doesn't need external supplies for research samples and the like.

"I agree with Wudiao's opinion." Zhao Jincheng has always been a conservative on this issue, and believes in holding all the initiative in his own hands, never placing any hope on "possibility": "We must ensure that our actions are foolproof, and we must You can't put the problem on the premise that it is probabilistic."

The high-end equipment capable of scanning work may go on strike in extreme cold conditions. Even with cold protection equipment, it can only maintain the working efficiency at about minus [-] degrees, and it cannot be guaranteed any lower.

Fu Yan and the others closed the door to study the temperature change characteristics of Wrangel Island in the past ten years, and finally found that if they wanted to act on this premise, they would have to do so in mid-March at the earliest.

"You still have three months to prepare." Zhao Jincheng said, "Hurry up sooner rather than later, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Fu Yan said.

This time it was a big integrated operation. If it had to go so far, and the target was the research institute of the suspected villain's headquarters, then the task force could never be just Fu Yan's team.

Zhao Jincheng has notified the C military region in advance, and will conduct a joint operation with them at that time.

Not surprisingly, Fu Yan's team was still the vanguard, and He Tang had already entered the state of combat readiness ahead of time, doubling the intensity of his usual training.

The high-level officials of the entire military region are in full swing to make way for this operation-they mobilize equipment, organize manpower, modify helicopters and long-distance off-road vehicles, and secretly transport them to the border.

Fu Yan's team suddenly became busy. In addition to daily extra training, they also had to get used to low temperature operations in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the military region of Department C is close to the northeast, and the winter temperature in the northernmost part can reach minus [-] to [-] degrees. In terms of adaptability, it is much stronger than the Yancheng people like them.

Therefore, this operation is mainly carried out by the C Department Military District. They will then be responsible for conducting life trace investigation on Wrangel Island to find the research institute.

Fu Yan's team will act as the main striker to conquer and take over the research institute.

Because they were not sure about the specific situation on the island, they made many plans day and night. In addition to the strategic scanning equipment team, Zhao Jincheng even found them a genius in information network security in the C Department Military Region.

"What if they have some kind of high-tech protective net that can block communication scanning." Zhao Jincheng said with a straight face: "There are so many animals on the island, and infrared rays may not be useful. Joe Eden started as an arms maker, Who knows if there is missile-level silence technology."

Fu Yan originally wanted to say that if there is silence at the missile level, it is useless to have a genius, and there must be a radar.But Zhao Jincheng has been very angry recently, and it is obvious that he has reached the final anxiety period before the mission, so Fu Yan did not dare to provoke him, and acquiesced to his arrangement.

A week before leaving, Liu Ruosong went to meet Shao Xuefan once without telling everyone.

Since the last time he shouted out the existence of the petri dish in public, Shao Xuefan has been locked up in solitary confinement.

According to Zhao Jincheng, I thought he was useless at first, he was old and frail, he couldn't do any work, and it cost food to feed him, so he just wanted to let him go to the resettlement center to support himself and support himself for the rest of his life.

But Liu Ruosong disagreed, and he kept Shao Xuefan on the grounds of "in case it can be used in the future, it's better to keep a guarantee".

The "butterfly effect" last time more or less sounded the alarm for Liu Ruosong. He now has an inexplicable complex psychology towards Shao Xuefan. He hopes that he can't make it through and die soon, but also hopes that he can live well until the end. one day.

When he came this time, Shao Xuefan's situation was much worse than the last time we met.

He still has some freedom of movement, but is almost under house arrest.This time even the guards guarding him were evacuated, and only the floor he was on was locked.

Liu Ruosong unscrewed the heavy lock, walked through the long corridor full of decay, and pushed open the last door in the corridor.

Shao Xuefan sat by the window dejectedly, looking at the sky outside, when he heard him coming in, he turned his head and looked at him with some resentment.

Liu Ruosong grabbed a chair casually and sat down not far from the door.

"Don't come here without any problems." Liu Ruosong said, "Teacher Shao."

"I heard what they said." Shao Xuefan looked at him sullenly: "I heard that they talked about your research results, your thinking, and your conclusions—this is absolutely impossible to do by yourself!"

Over the long period of time, Shao Xuefan's attitude towards Liu Ruosong underwent a drastic change like a chemical reaction.

When Liu Ruosong rescued him from the killer at first, he had a good impression of him; but then Liu Ruosong's temperament changed drastically, and this appreciation turned into a stronger fear.

But for such a long time, this fear has turned into anger as Liu Ruosong's status has gradually risen.

Shao Xuefan believed in his heart that Liu Ruosong was an evil spirit crawling back from hell, but Shao Qiu came back safe and sound, and he hadn't been treated by Liu Ruosong for so long, so the previous fear easily changed and became Deeper disgust.

"It's really not me." Liu Ruosong said with a flat expression, "You did this."

"I knew it!" Shao Xuefan said, "You are a thief and a liar, and you are not worthy of doing research!"

Shao Xuefan stood up emotionally, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and the fundus of his eyes was a dark blue from lack of sleep, which made him look a little scary.

Liu Ruosong looked at him calmly, at this moment, he suddenly found that his long-lasting fear of Shao Xuefan had disappeared.

The fear that haunted him like tarsal maggots and kept him awake at night disappeared in an instant.

Even though Shao Xuefan looked so angry and clamored for him to pay the price, Liu Ruosong was still calm and even wanted to laugh.

Brother Fu is right, he is actually nothing, Liu Ruosong thought, he is just the body of a fox pretending to be a tiger.

Before coming, Liu Ruosong actually wanted to say a lot, but at this moment, he felt that saying nothing was superfluous.

Shao Xuefan didn't deserve to draw him any more attention.

"I'm here to tell you something." Liu Ruosong said, "In three days, we're going to leave for Wrangel Island."

Shao Xuefan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes wandered subconsciously for a moment.

"Shao Xuefan." Liu Ruosong said: "I don't care how much you knew before, how much you concealed, how much selfishness and mercenary you harbor in your bones. But in the end we have found what should be found, and you don't have to make any more decisions. "

"It's impossible for you to get far with the things you stole!" Shao Xuefan yelled sternly: "Even if you get Eden One! You can't decode it! You will still invite me in the end!"

"You're thinking too much." Liu Ruosong stood up and moved the chair back to its original position: "As long as I'm here, don't even think about going out."

"I won't be afraid of you anymore." Liu Ruosong whispered.

As he spoke, he turned around and pressed the doorknob, and looked back at him under Shao Xuefan's almost crazy curses.

"You will have your retribution sooner or later." Liu Ruosong said, "I'll wait and see."
