Chapter 925: Earth-shaking Changes (asking for monthly tickets)

"How long has it been?"

"It seems like it's been nine hours... Block the wind for me!"

Under the huge sandstorm.

The sounds of Wu Kang and Gao Bo, who were hiding under the riverbed, shouting at each other desperately were like being muffled in a can.

Gao Bo hid under the tactical backpack, opened his gas mask, and carefully squeezed the energy gel into his mouth.

Then quickly turn your back, close your eyes and savor it.

This thing that usually tastes terrible now seems like sweet dew.

Because this "Wings of Freedom" plan is a decapitation operation.

This is not a protracted war, but a task of cutting the Gordian knot.

So everyone was "lightly equipped", and apart from the necessary equipment, ammunition and first aid supplies, they did not carry any food or water.

Fortunately, the intelligence agency had been monitoring the target, Zaka.

When driving to pick them up, each of them carried some supplies.

It became their last straw.

Chen Zhiyu turned his head to look at Gu Ji who was holding the stinger and touched his shoulder.

"Gu Ji, how long will this sandstorm last?"

"Normally, a local short-term sandstorm only lasts a few hours, while a continuous sandstorm caused by a cold front will last from 1 to 3 days. However, the cause of this sandstorm..."

At the end of the conversation, Gu Ji did not say anything else.

Because everyone knows that this sandstorm is most likely an attack by THEO organization using meteorological weapons.

How long this man-made natural disaster can last depends on the intentions of the mastermind behind it.

"Gu Ji, something's happening!"

Suddenly.

Li Yanan suddenly shouted, tugged at Gu Ji's belt, and pushed the eyepiece of the thermal imager in front of him.

On the screen, several blurry orange spots were approaching from the northeast, appearing and disappearing from time to time due to the interference of the sandstorm.

Lei Wanshan and Zeng Dan also came over.

The two looked at each other.

Is it an enemy patrol, or one of our own team members blown away by the sandstorm?

"Discovered! Everyone, be on alert!!"

"Yes!"

Lei Wanshan chuckled.

Everyone immediately grabbed the rifles in front of their chests and lay prone to kill the enemy.

According to the previously designated areas, everyone was on guard with guns.

Several stun bombs that had been set up earlier were buried under the sand piles around the riverbed. The safety pins that triggered the fuses had been pulled out, and they would emit strong light and high-decibel noise with just a slight touch.

This is their only means of early warning in an environment with zero visibility.

"Gu Ji, pay attention to friendly force identification!"

"Yes!"

Received instructions.

Gu Ji immediately activated the tactical gun light and flashed signals in the direction as agreed.

But after waiting for a long time, all I received was the silent response of the sky full of yellow sand.

……

CTOC Joint Command Center.

The air purifier was turned on to maximum, but it still couldn't dispel the pervasive smell of smoke.

Chen Ke stared at the public opinion monitoring screen which was updated in real time.

The headlines of media from all over the world are being refreshed frantically:

BBC’s “Yemeni massacre mystery”, CNN’s “special forces out of control”, Al Jazeera’s “atrocities of a powerful country”.

Various news headlines seem particularly eye-catching at this moment.

"Director Chen, Director Liao, the CIA requests an emergency online meeting."

"catch."

Liao Yunqing, director of the Intelligence Department, raised his hand.

The moment the screen is turned on.

The faces of the Deputy Director of the CIA and the Chief of Staff of the Special Operations Division also appeared in the smoke-filled conference room.

One of them had his tie askew and the other had bloodshot eyes.

It can be seen that because of this incident, they have been tortured by the pressure from their superiors and public opinion.

"One of our Ranger sergeants has been captured."

The US representative turned the tablet computer towards the camera.

In the picture, the sergeant named Reagan Hill had a swollen face and the U.S. military nameplate on his chest was reflected in the camera.

“His testimony is being broadcast live around the world and now half of Europe is convinced that we are carrying out ethnic cleansing.”

"We already know about this matter."

"The key is how many of our people are still in their hands, and whether the most important combat troops and intelligence personnel are still alive?"

Facing the questions raised by the US side.

Chen Ke gripped the table tightly, almost digging his nails into the wood.

"I trust my players."

"The problem now is that we can no longer allow this THEO organization to act recklessly. My suggestion is that from this moment on, both sides should begin an unreserved intelligence cooperation..."

……

"How's the situation?"

"We still can't get in touch with them. Maybe the organization should have a bigger plan now!"

Safe house, London.

When little Hermann saw Sima coming back from the phone call, he immediately stood up and asked.

But the answer I got was disappointing.

Since the Yemen incident, the Internet has been flooded with complaints condemning the public action reports of the United States and Xia.

Many other countries were also forced to be involved in this public opinion storm.

However, the THEO organization achieved the greatest victory in this "information war".

Not only did it wash away the previous label of "terrorist organization", it even transformed itself into a righteous organization and gained a lot of followers across the entire Internet.

To this end, Hermann did not hesitate to use all his personal connections to suppress the enemy.

Regrettably, with little success.

Now, little Hermann wanted Sima to think of a solution.

But when she tried to submit a report to the organization, no one responded.

There was no other way, so Sima contacted Vidi, Baron, Yasen and others whom she knew.

But everyone was powerless.

Take Vidhi, who has the highest position, for example. He is now in India and is so busy that he is overwhelmed, let alone spare the energy to deal with the THEO organization.

"It's over!"

Little Herman lied and picked up the phone.

"My father said that the hacker technology team under the family has just detected that a private server has pushed the latest video package to 137 anonymous nodes around the world!"

"A new video?"

Seema takes the phone and looks at it.

In the picture, Indian mountain special forces are aiming their guns at a woman holding a child.

In the background, a blurry figure was roaring in unstandard English: "Leave no one alive, clear the area within 500 meters of the target building!"

The subsequent shots showed them engaging in a firefight with Xia country's special forces.

"Is this... the operation by Us?"

Seema exclaimed, he was in India at the time and knew everything about Vidhi's involvement.

No wonder Vidi is so overwhelmed now.

"This video is fake. At that time, Us..."

"Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter anymore."

Little Herman shook his head. "Now the people are all full of doubts. The government's credibility is failing..."

……

“Look at these numbers.”

London, in the villa area.

Aaliya pushes the laptop towards her.

The screen shows a heat map of public opinion dissemination, and the red center of the public opinion storm is spreading in the Middle East.

"All the old accounts of the Arab Spring have been activated, and a new accusatory video is uploaded every 3.2 seconds. The keyword #country, warmongerer# has become a hot search in 87 countries."

Cohen glanced at it and took a sip of his wine.

His eyes fell on the "Justice League" LOGO at the end of the video.

That is a new mask created by THEO organization.

"How's the plan going?"

“Don’t worry, we will exceed our target!”

Alia couldn't help but laugh twice: "Haha... Do you know why propaganda wars always work? Because people would rather believe carefully packaged lies than wait for the complicated truth."

As she said this.

On the computer next to him, the U.S. Department of Defense spokesman Peake was being broadcast live, making incoherent excuses.

"That's good. Notify the other apostles and prepare to launch the second phase of the operation."

Cohen drank the red wine in his glass and looked at the constantly updating messages on the countless screens in front of him: "Let those angry people become the first bricks in our destruction of the existing order."

……

It was unknown how long the sandstorm lasted. When Gu Ji's eardrum suddenly felt a change in pressure, it seemed that the whistling sound of the wind began to weaken.

And just then.

At the edge of the field of vision, red light suddenly flashed continuously.

He then knew that the communication signal had been restored!

Because the ability of the ghost server is that it can connect to the Internet as long as there is a wireless signal.

This proves that the sandstorm disaster should be over.

While clicking on the server information, he tentatively took off his tactical mask and brushed off the sand on his body.

With the gradually brightening light, Gu Ji saw his teammates' gas masks covered in sand and dust.

He immediately pushed Gao Bo and Chen Zhiyu who were sleeping beside him, trying to remind them that the disaster was over.

As everyone woke up, a large amount of sand fell from the riverbed and rock walls.

Gao Bo was checking the trigger device of the stun grenade, Li Yanan was carving position marks on the rock wall with a tactical dagger, and Chen Zhiyu was silently replenishing water and energy gel for each team member.

"We have a signal! Captain Lei, Captain Gu, we have a signal!"

Ye Xiaoshu woke up and found that the sandstorm had stopped, so he immediately tried to readjust the tactical radio.

The result showed that the CTOC emergency channel actually flashed on the screen!

"What did you say?"

"Are we saved?"

For a while.

Wu Kang, Pasili, and Zeng Dan all gathered around excitedly.

However, Gu Ji was in shock at this moment.

Because after he opened the ghost server, he found that more than a dozen messages had accumulated in the past three days.

They are from Sima, Vidi, Jin Zhijiu, Jiang Na, and Gould.

What about global public opinion out of control, fake massacre videos, and a crisis of trust.

The source of everything started with their operation in Yemen.

What worries Gu Ji the most is.

The THEO organization and Volut Corporation actually took this opportunity to establish extremely high prestige worldwide.

Of the two of them, one shot and killed Zaka;

One invested $5 million to provide relief during the sandstorm disaster in Yemen.

"Command center, this is 341, command..."

"Zizizi... This is the command center, I'm Chen Ke!"

"Great! It finally worked!"

Just when Ye Xiaoshu tried to call the CTOC base.

Chen Ke's long-lost voice finally appeared in everyone's tactical headset.

just.

The next second, when Chen Ke and Liao Yunqing informed everyone of the situation.

The joy on their faces after surviving the disaster instantly turned into horror and anger.

"Tsk! So, not only did we work in vain this time, but we also helped the terrorist organization?"

Gao Bo spat out the sand that was blown into his mouth and couldn't help but curse.

"First there was the convoy, then the sandstorm, and then the video. The enemy must have been prepared in advance..."

Chen Zhiyu was also analyzing the situation and finally looked at Zeng Dan, "This shows that our action plan was exposed from the very beginning!"

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

"alert!"

Just when everyone was silent.

Stinger suddenly pricked up his ears and barked toward the southeast.

Lei Wanshan hurriedly shouted.

Everyone raised their guns in unison.

Gu Ji immediately put away his distracting thoughts.

Following the Stinger's line of sight, several vague outlines emerged from the sand mist, and the infrared beacons on their helmets flashed green.

It's the survivors of Delta B Team!

"It seems like one of our own!"

"Release the alert!"

The gun was lowered shortly afterwards.

Then he saw Ronnie limping over, with dark blood stains on the left arm of his tactical vest. "Damn it, I thought I was going to be buried in the desert for the rest of my life!"

"Ronnie?"

Lei Wanshan saw the human figure and remembered the previous abnormal discovery, "So, those infrared heat sources we found a few days ago were you?"

"I don't know about this. I only know that our convoy couldn't withstand the wind and sand, so we could only look for sand dunes in the southeast direction according to the map!"

"Carlos, do you know..."

"of course."

When Zeng Dan saw Carlos from the CIA, he originally wanted to exchange information with him.

Unexpectedly, the US side has also communicated with the command center.

Not only that.

They also received news that the soldier had been captured and asked all team members to immediately implement the "silence agreement".

Avoid leaking information after being captured.

"We have suffered a major setback this time."

Carlos grinned, filled with anger at the thought of this incident, "By the way, did you find any key intelligence and information from Zaka's lair?"

Zeng Dan turned his head and his eyes fell on Ye Xiaoshu.

The task of collecting intelligence information was done jointly by him and Wu Kang.

just.

Since the enemy can set such a trap for them to fall into, they will definitely not leave any key clues.

Therefore, the two of them only managed to grab some insignificant documents and information, as well as a few metal USB flash drives, and they had no time to check them.

"Forget it, let's make sure we can get back alive!"

Carlos probably also knew that this was not realistic.

After the sandstorm, the surrounding area was filled with endless yellow fog and dust.

Fortunately, after the command center learned of their situation and location, it dispatched drones and helicopters to rescue them.

When you hear the sound of the wing propeller turning.

The Delta team members, who had not had a full meal for several days, wanted to jump up and pounce on it immediately.

Enter the cabin.

Everyone wolfed down the military canned food while listening to the next plan.

Gu Ji took a sip of water.

My thoughts were all focused on the reply from the ghost server.

now.

It can be seen from this public opinion war that THEO organization has completely launched their plan.

The domestic and US sides have already started in-depth cooperation in response to this large-scale terrorist attack.

Comprehensive sharing of intelligence and operatives.

The first point they aimed at:

It’s Volut and PM company!

Gu Ji subconsciously thought of the scene in the DLC expansion pack where the special police rushed into the company.

Apocalypse War;

It's about to come out! (End of this chapter)
