Gu Ji followed closely.
Grab the rope and clamp your legs together.
Taking advantage of the scorching sun and the wind and waves, it slid down from the cabin and landed right in the middle of the combat boat.
Because the speedboat is currently still in the lifting state.
Affected by the surrounding wind and waves, it will always shake constantly, so at this time you must pay attention to stabilize your body as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once you fall off the speedboat, you will easily be washed away by the waves, which will waste a lot of time on rescue and delay the best time to fight.
"All personnel are on board!"
As the last American speedboat driver jumped off the rope.
Only then did Gu Ji press the radio button to report to the helicopter pilot.
Then, under the control of the pilot, the helicopter began to continue descending, and the combat boat was getting closer and closer to the sea surface.
The Chinook's unique front and rear double propellers create layer after layer of circular waves that spread outward on the rough sea.
A large amount of white mist rose up and soon soaked everyone's cheeks.
"Everyone hold on tight!"
Seeing that the combat boat was about to fall into the sea, Gu Ji hurriedly shouted a warning, and then he grabbed the safety lever of the boat.
With a loud "plop", the bottom of the boat plunged into the waves.
The huge impact force caused the speedboat to shake violently, stirring up waves more than one meter high that instantly wrapped around it. The impact force made people's shoulders hurt, and the salty and fishy sea water poured directly into their nostrils and mouths.
next second.
There was a "click" sound from the rope mechanism hanging from the helicopter cabin above, and the four ropes instantly fell off, scattered freely to both sides and fell into the sea.
"The rope is broken!"
"Roger that!"
The speedboat driver confirmed.
While Gu Ji and others were retrieving the rope, he decisively stepped on the accelerator.
There was a low roar from the two diesel engines at the stern, and the speedboat shook violently like an awakened beast.
"Attention, combat team! Gray Wolf 1 and 2, leave!"
At the same time, Carlos also completed the sea boat landing.
Immediately, the two Chinooks began to prepare to return.
Under the scorching sun, the two combat boats rushed forward like arrows from a bow, splashing high white water on both sides of the hull, as if the speedboats were equipped with a pair of nimble white wings.
The water made a crackling sound and kept spraying into the air.
Gu Ji and others were also busy. They opened the weapons and ammunition boxes according to their division of labor and began to assemble and load ammunition chains for the Gatling guns in the front and rear of the ship, as well as the light and heavy machine guns.
We were getting closer and closer to Kante Island.
Ye Xiaoshu and an American soldier on the No. 2 combat boat took out two unmanned reconnaissance aircraft from their backpacks and threw them into the air.
Theoretically, only one reconnaissance aircraft is needed to complete high-altitude reconnaissance on the battlefield.
But the two do not belong to the same camp after all.
Even if Carlos agreed to give him the command of the infiltration operation, the intelligence forces brought by the CIA would not listen to his instructions.
The latter definitely requires an independent battlefield situation awareness system.
"Captain Gu, we found the target area!"
Ye Xiaoshu held the flight control, and the screen was displaying the images captured by the high-speed panoramic camera in real time.
On the vast sea under the bright sunshine, an oval-shaped emerald green deserted island suddenly came into view.
The island has undulating ridges and dense green forests, like a forgotten hot world, exuding a mysterious and lonely atmosphere.
"A ship has been detected docking at the island port!"
The modified "Giant Eye" drone in his hand not only has the most advanced radar stealth and shooting capabilities, but also has a built-in AI recognition algorithm.
Several green boxes swept left and right across the island, identifying several ships in the southwest and taking close-ups of them.
"This is the ship that the middleman of the U.S. Department of Defense is on. Kant Island is ahead!"
Gu Ji found the information confirmation and immediately asked the captain to speed up again.
In no time.
With the naked eye, you can see a protrusion like a small hill in the distance, which is Kant Island.
"Get ready to slow down! Carlos, it's our turn!"
Gu Ji first shouted to the captain to stop, then pressed the intercom button to remind the combat boat No. 2 running parallel next to it.
According to current data, people can see about 4.7 kilometers away under clear weather and flat sea conditions.
This means that at this moment, their straight-line distance from Kant Island is less than 5 kilometers.
If we continue to approach by speedboat, we will easily be discovered by the sentries on the island.
After all, 4.7 kilometers is just the limit of what the human eye can see on a flat surface. If you stand at a higher position, such as 10 meters high, the visible distance will increase to about 12 kilometers, and this does not include the assistance of a reconnaissance telescope.
"receive."
I heard Carlos' voice in the headphones.
Gu Ji then began to put on the shark suit, fins, and the LARV rebreather equipped with a single-person small propulsion device.
Although armed swimming of five kilometers was no longer a problem for him, it was only limited to inland rivers and lakes.
The difficulty of ocean swimming is several times that of the former.
Not only is the water flow density greater and the temperature lower, the most terrifying thing is the waves. Especially when you are close to the shore, the waves become higher and higher due to the obstruction of the seabed, which is quite a horrible drain on your physical strength.
Therefore, in order to ensure that they can remain in good combat condition after landing on the island.
The CIA logistics department equipped each of them with a separate small thruster to assist them in moving underwater.
"Gu Ji!"
Seeing that he had put on the equipment, Gao Bo quickly put his hand on his shoulder and shouted.
"Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
"Yes, Captain Gu, if there is any situation, tell us immediately and we will rush over immediately!"
Ye Xiaoshu also expressed concern.
Looking at the worried eyes of Wu Kang, Li Yanan, Liu Weijun and others.
Gu Ji grinned, looking extremely relaxed, and patted the dog's head. "Don't worry, this is not my first mission. I'll leave Stinger to you. See you on the island!"
"See you on the island."
Everyone shouted in unison.
Immediately.
The next second, Gu Ji put on Cohen's iconic black hood, put on the breathing mask, and made a "plop" sound.
He turned his back to the sea and fell down with his head tilted back.
"Gululu..."
In an instant, the cold sea water instantly wrapped around his whole body, and the chill penetrated into his bones, but Gu Ji had already gotten used to it.
The water of the Caribbean Sea is very clear, and with the direct sunlight at noon, the underwater visibility is excellent.
Seeing figures jumping down from the boat nearby, he immediately pulled out his underwater flashlight and reminded several people to assemble into formation.
Participating in the infiltration operation were three armed intelligence personnel on the plane.
The remaining two are Carlos and Jillian.
The former claimed that he was a spy agent and had received various training before becoming an intelligence analysis expert.
As for Gillian, it's not simple either.
She has received special training at the FBI National Academy many times. This school is located in the Marine Corps base in Virginia, so her swimming skills must be very good.
With the help of underwater boosters, as long as you keep up with the team, don't get lost, and don't get cramps in your hands and feet, basically there will be no problems.
Immediately.
Gu Ji began to use gestures to direct several people to form a shuttle formation.
I came to the front of the team and was responsible for leading everyone towards the target island.
A distance of five kilometers is not close.
He glanced at the time on the underwater computer on his wrist. There were less than two hours left until the agreed transaction time.
Although it seems to be sufficient.
But don't forget, after arriving on the island.
They also have to face the problems of landing and infiltration.
If the island is heavily defended, this step will take much longer.
Based on the principle of adding one to the risk, Gu Ji must leave some safety redundancy and increase the underwater speed as much as possible.
The first half of the race was almost 15 minutes per kilometer.
This speed is quite abnormal.
Without the help of boosters, it would be impossible to accomplish this with human power alone.
When approaching an island within one kilometer, the sea visibility is relatively high.
Gu Ji ordered all personnel to increase the diving depth.
At this time, the water pressure gradually increased, as if a pair of invisible hands were squeezing the body.
But the impact on several people was not great, especially Gu Ji and the armed men, whose movements were still steady and smooth, obviously they had undergone long-term specialized diving training.
This further confirmed Gu Ji's belief that they might be SEAL Team Six.
As they got closer to the island, everyone's heartbeat seemed to speed up unconsciously. Every time they pushed their legs, they were more cautious, trying not to stir up too much splash and avoid exposing their tracks.
The outline of the island in front of us gradually became clear in the dark green glass.
The dark reefs look like ferocious beasts, and on the shore, there may be countless pairs of vigilant eyes and black muzzles of guns watching in the dark.
But Gu Ji remained calm.
According to the plan that had been rehearsed in the sand table, it slowly infiltrated towards the southeast area of the island like a ghost.
Because of the mountain ridge cliffs behind it, the waves here are more violent.
Fortunately, they had relied mostly on boosters during the swim, so they now had enough strength to fight the rapids.
"Wow..."
At the bottom of the island cliff, a pitch-black head slowly emerged from the sea.
It was Gu Ji.
Although they have battlefield drones, they cannot get too close in the infiltration state to avoid alerting the enemy.
So now they can only rely on observing with their naked eyes step by step.
"This is Ghost, we have confirmed we have arrived at the island and are preparing to land."
Gu Ji pressed the intercom button and, according to the team code, reported the on-site situation to the command center and Gao Bo and others who were five kilometers away in priority to avoid information disconnection.
"Zizizi... Captain Gu, we are too far away, and the radio signal may not be very good, but the drone is remotely monitoring us. I will try my best to provide you with real-time important information..."
Hidden in the headphones, intermittent sounds of Ye Xiaoshu could be heard.
"Most of the island's members are now concentrated on the northwest side. This may be an opportunity."
"Got it. I'm going to climb the cliff now. Keep in touch."
After closing the free call, Gu Ji looked up at the towering cliff above his head, and then greeted the people hiding underwater.
Everyone surfaced one after another and hid under the shadow of the reef.
He found a safe place, took off his shark suit, fins, scuba gear, etc., tied them together with ropes, and temporarily secured them to the reef.
Then take off the backpack and take out climbing tools such as mountaineering picks from it.
"This slope looks steeper than the one on the sand table!"
"It is impossible to achieve a one-to-one restoration of satellite maps."
Carlos looked up at the cliff, which was more than ten meters high and nearly 60 degrees. The area near the sea was extremely smooth, making it difficult to step on. "Is it difficult?"
“It can be overcome.”
Gu Ji was not panicked at all.
I put on rock climbing shoes, hung the safety rope and quick-draw system around my waist, and jumped onto the rock first.
Several intelligence officers nearby also began to climb.
A SLAB route like the one in front of you is one of the most difficult types of climbing terrain. Because it is washed by sea water all year round, the surface is smooth, there are no grip points, and the friction resistance is also small.
But among the mark skills he mastered, he specialized in military infiltration, especially underwater and rock climbing skills.
So Gu Ji stepped on the rock wall very skillfully, holding it with his front hand with a climbing pick, and using the four fingers of his back hand to push his body down, allowing his body to form an angle with the rock wall, thereby increasing the pressure on the soles of his feet.
The next step is to rely on your eyes and experience to quickly find a safe foothold.
Because the rock wall cannot be really like a mirror, there will always be gullies eroded by water, or small spots of corrosion and crystallization, which are important supports for climbing upwards.
As long as you can get through this period, the rest will be much easier.
A bearded American soldier had just stepped onto the first safe point, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Gu Ji using his hands and feet to quickly surpass him and step on it.
"I didn't expect this Xia country special police to be so powerful!"
"Hush, the Staff Operations Room said that you shouldn't treat them as ordinary special police!"
"Xia people are good at agile movements. Stop wasting time chatting and speed up!"
The conversation ended with a few words.
Then he followed the route he had climbed and soon reached the top of the cliff.
Gu Ji found a stable protruding rock near the cliff, put the quickdraw around his waist on it, swung it down, and landed on the reef at the bottom.
On the one hand, it makes it easier for Carlos, Jillian and others to climb.
After all, strictly speaking, neither of them is a special operations personnel.
On the other hand, it is natural to escape by rappelling quickly and leave a retreat route.
After doing all this, Gu Ji continued to move forward.
He used his left hand to hold the ground with a mountaineering pick, pulled out a silenced Glock pistol from his waist with his hand, exerted force from his waist and abdomen, and climbed up suddenly.
The first step to reach the ground.
He quickly threw away the pickaxe, and tried to keep himself as close to the grass as possible, while holding the gun in both hands against his chest and looking around.
Just as Gu Ji had basically expected.
The cliff is so steep that Riddle himself probably didn't expect anyone to be able to climb up from here, so naturally he was lax in his defenses.
At least at first glance.
There were only lush trees, and no guard towers or cameras were found.
Soon, the other team members also climbed up one after another.
Just as the last Jillian lay on the grass, panting.
Suddenly.
"Squeak..."
