At this time, Nathan IV is in early winter. The sunshine time is the shortest in a year, and the warmth is gone. The twinkling stars can not make the Dark Dawn brighter. Only the thin and fragmented sunshine can cross the horizon in front of the white peaks to reach the other end.

The same is true of this dawn, and the darkness will last for some time.

"Hiss -"

Bahram had moved to the hole and scanned around with his always pressing eyes. Oscar was breathing in the air conditioner, his lungs trembling and making a voice involuntarily.

"This is the fifth day."

Oscar's face flashed an apologetic smile when he heard each other's words,

"We didn't expect this place to be so difficult to find. Although we have determined the approximate area, these people are really stable enough."

"So you make sure it's right this time?"

Bahram said, throwing the gun on his back and crawling carefully.

Since the capture of the stronghold, he has been urging the other party to take them to the secret stronghold, but Oscar didn't tell the truth until then.

Originally, they only determined the general area, but they didn't know the specific location of the stronghold.

This made the Bahram group very popular, and the two sides almost had a fight. Fortunately, the leaders of the two teams still maintained enough restraint, so they did not let the bloodshed happen.

But it still brought mutual trust to the freezing point.

In the next few days, what happened made them collapse.

At first, in the middle of the night, someone secretly threw grenades at their stronghold. As a result, they were frightened enough to beat back the attack.

After losing the battle robot, the only thing they can rely on to defend the stronghold is the machine gun with more than 100 bullets left.

At this time, they are faced with a dilemma.

On the one hand, it is necessary to stick to this stronghold, on the other hand, it is necessary to attack the secret stronghold, and there are contradictions in the distribution of personnel.

After coordinating for a long time, on the basis of the existing 16 people, they finally decided on the plan of 8 people defending and 8 people attacking.

Oscar's group has 6 people to attack and 4 people to defend. Bachram's group has 2 people to attack and 4 people to defend.

It was the third day, and Oscar sent a team of three to determine the location of the stronghold.

And this search is a whole day.

Just when Bahram had considered whether to fight and decide who could own the existing stronghold, the good news finally came.

They found the secret stronghold.

So at dawn on the fourth day, they couldn't wait to set out.

Although they knew that this place was at a higher altitude, they found that the secret stronghold was in a hillside cave after they really came here.

According to the Scout's previous statement, the entrance of the cave is very narrow, which only allows two people to pass through. It is also covered with some artificial vegetation, which is very difficult to find from a distance.

They also noticed this position after observing someone's activity.

More importantly, the defenders of the secret stronghold also deployed warning measures and traps on the only feasible road to the entrance. It is obvious that there is a trap expert among them. These traps are cleverly deployed and hidden. Once someone tries to dismantle them, they will provide an alarm to the defenders inside.

Even investigators can't tell how many traps there are, but it's obviously unwise to go the right way.

After a brief discussion, all bakhram and Oscar decided to approach the stronghold from a more difficult but more hidden direction.

That is, climb up the steep slope on the side.

In order to carry out this plan, they can only act at night. Only in this way can they not be easily found by other teams, and they have to keep quiet to prevent being noticed by defenders.

They spent almost the whole night crawling and had to stop and observe for a while every meter.

In this case, even if the hands are wrapped with cloth, everyone's hands are still bloody by the cold rock.

Even colder is the air.

In the mountains late at night, the low temperature is close to zero, and each of them has only one combat suit, which is pasted on them because of climbing and sweating.

When the cold wind blew, everyone's teeth were trembling.

But the boys all persevered with great perseverance and completed the climb of nearly 600 meters.

"For now, yes."

Oscar said, rubbing his sore chin. Just now he hit his chin and almost broke his tongue.

But it won't be more painful than getting shot.

"How far is it?"

Haomo behind them complained, rubbing his hands in the cold wind to keep warm.

"Climbing in this damn place makes me anxious."

Bahram nodded. Since they started their operation late last night, each of them was nervous for fear of missing any enemy's every move.

But the surrounding scenery remained silent and empty, which exacerbated everyone's inner uneasiness.

He looked around. They were on a mountain slope hundreds of meters high. The ground was covered with jagged rocks and a dry river below.

Outside the river, steep rock walls can extend all the way to the peak above.

Bahram trembled, climbing up the cliff like a spider clinging to the wall, and then walking along the path falling almost vertically at the edge. It was terrible.

But they have no choice.

"Listen, good guys."

Oscar hardly raised his volume, but everyone looked at him.

"The guys who occupy the secret stronghold think they are safe. They believe that the severe terrain can protect them from anyone. Until now, they think that's enough, because until now, no one has tried to penetrate here in this direction."

The boy's grin filled his handsome face with aggression and pleasure.

"We'll surprise them, won't we?"

Bahram looked up at the cliff and was sure they would succeed.

"So don't be merciful for a while. Since we cooperate, we may be comrades in arms and brothers in the future - that's what angels call each other."

Everyone nodded, and bachram had to admit that Oscar was an excellent speaker.

This may be his advantage as an aristocrat.

"Then take action."

He then ordered, in a low, deep voice.

The two team attack team quickly climbed up the edge of the cliff and bent down into the narrow path.

"Keep to the left when moving."

Oscar, who was at the forefront, warned:

"The rock on the right is loose. I don't want anyone to slide down."

Oscar quickly crossed the path, bowed his head and stepped into the darkness. He put on his night vision and left the night sky behind him.

At this time, the huge rock structure and dark ridge covered them, and Oscar suddenly flashed an illusion in his mind - it was like a beast crouching at the foot of the mountain, and that thing was like a beast's big mouth to devour them.

He shook his head and expelled the illusion.
