Chapter 470: Chapter 463 Map Work

Satan looked quite strange, but it really wasn’t the kind of squad that you’d think was formidable at first glance. Quite the opposite, this team seemed to have nothing to do with the word ’formidable’.

How could there be fat people in an awesome squad? And not just one, but two. Just by looking at their physique, they didn’t seem like the type to train very hard.

One fatty was called Fat Cat, and he was even a medic. Gao Yuan believed in strength in size, but he couldn’t imagine a fat man sprinting to save someone.

The other was called Stupid Bear, also known as Yuri; because the name Yuri was too common among Russians. But could a big and fat guy keep up with a squad that needed to move quickly?

Then there was that cockroach, his left hand was obviously disabled, but that was the least of the issues.

What was most unbelievable was that Satan’s squad had someone like Number Thirteen.

Number Thirteen was skinny and walked quietly, looking as relaxed as though he was going on a picnic. The problem was, he was empty-handed, with no backpack, no gun, no grenades; he just walked free and easy, like someone with nothing to do in the dark wilderness.

If it wasn’t for the fact that someone was dragging a 107 mm rocket launcher and a gunner was carrying the barrel of a 60 mm mortar, Gao Yuan would have almost believed that the support group’s mission was easy and the load they carried was light.

The fact was that the members of the volunteer group were miserable. Wild Duck was pulling a rocket launcher, with Rabbit and Crow helping to push. Worker Bee was carrying a mortar, and Ol’Mouse and Bat were helping him carry the ammunition.

Well, the nicknames of Satan’s people had the advantage of being easy to remember.

After walking for not too long, just half an hour, the assault team stopped again, and the cockroach, who was at the very front of the support group, also immediately stopped and then promptly raised his right arm and knelt on one knee.

The support group immediately halted, and Gao Yuan had to pull Ashraf to stop as well.

After waiting a moment, the cockroach gestured with his right hand and whispered, "Continue moving forward."

The people who had knelt on one knee got up and moved forward again. However, the assault team stayed in place, not moving, until the support group and assault team converged. Then the cockroach raised his right arm again and whispered, "Spread out, cover."

The assault team basically maintained their original formation and didn’t move. They all spread out, each facing in a different direction on guard. Meanwhile, Rabbit and Crow, who had just been helping Wild Duck push the rocket launcher, immediately headed in opposite directions, walked fifty meters, then lay down and set up their sniper rifles on the ground.

Worker Bee, who was carrying the mortar barrel, also knelt on one knee and rested the barrel on the ground, with the special ammunition bag placed in front of him.

With the command to spread out and cover, the members of the support group dispersed. Only Gao Yuan and his so-called technical team didn’t know what to do.

At this moment, Gao Yang came over and said to Xinghe, "Let’s set up the balloons here. We’re less than five kilometers away from Malakal city district; we can’t get any closer. Any nearer and we’ll hit the enemy’s secret sentries, which could be very dangerous if we don’t spot them in time."

Xinghe nodded and said, "That’s fine. For the Serpent People, this distance is as good as none. Let’s start now."

Gao Yang took out a map from his pocket and spread it on the ground, then said in a low voice, "Dove, come make a mark."

Xinghe took out Revelation from her bag, but as she was about to turn it on, Gao Yang said softly, "Wait a moment."

Gao Yang pulled out a piece of cloth and a few ropes, and quickly set up a very simple canopy using a nearby tree, then said softly, "This thing has a bright light; it’s better to cover it up a bit. Now we can start."

Dove came over, crouched beside the spread-out map, took out a marker, and said softly, "We can start now."

The Revelation machine powered up, and the light from the direction of Malakel and the sky was obscured by the canopy, indeed making it much more concealed than before.

They didn’t release any balloons, but directly used Revelation to detect the communications signals between the Sanitation Worker and the Serpent People.

Once Revelation powered up, it indeed immediately detected a nearby signal, a type not originally present on Earth, and even beyond accurate naming since this signal concept did not exist in any Earth language, script, or knowledge system, thus making precise naming impossible.

"Found it, it’s right here."

Xinghe pointed to a tiny bright spot that appeared very close to the two points representing Revelation’s location, but as Xinghe operated the system, the distance between the two points rapidly expanded.

Here was a problem: the signal displayed by Revelation couldn’t be marked on the corresponding map.

Unlike satellite navigation with a complete set of maps, where using a mobile phone for navigation means you can identify the city, specific street, and even the building, Revelation did not have such maps, so it could only display distance and direction. At this point, map triangulation was needed.

"Is there a direction? Can it be accurately indicated?"

"This is due north."

"Good, what about the distance? Is there an exact distance?"

Xinghe waited a moment, then said, "Converted to Earth distance units, it’s 7,650 meters, approximate value. Wait, I can calculate it in more detail."

After briefly pondering, Xinghe declared very surely a few seconds later, "It’s 7,653 meters."

"Great, thank you."

Dove marked a line on the map with a set square, then he began to carefully measure the distance, extending the line he drew by a few millimeters. Finally, he stopped his hand and said, "Boss, here it is."

Gao Yang looked at the map and asked, "Is it accurate?"

"Our map is very accurate, I may not be able to draw an exact line on the map, but boss, this is Malakal Airport."

Malakel was nominally a city, but it had no tall buildings or significant population, and not even a stable power supply. The buildings within the city district were sparse and scattered. Although the Sanitation Worker built many factories in this city, whether in the past or present, the airport was always the largest and most important structure in Malakal.

Especially after colluding with the Serpent People, when the Sanitation Worker’s planes could take off and be operational, the importance of the airport grew even more.

Gao Yang had been operating in this region for a long time; it was only right that he possessed precise military maps of the Malakal city district—if he didn’t, he wouldn’t deserve to be a warlord.

"The airport, the airport, the enemy’s focal point of defense."

He waved at Xinghe to signal that Revelation could be shut down. Gao Yang took a deep breath, speaking softly, "Now we can’t release the balloons. My current target is to seize the enemy’s communication equipment. Even if we can’t get them, they must be destroyed first, otherwise the Serpent People will not attack. That means we need to infiltrate the airport first, seize or destroy the enemy’s equipment, and then release the balloons. This requires at least ten minutes where we must hold the airport."

This mission was extremely challenging, so any difficulties that arose wouldn’t be surprising. After pondering for a moment, Gao Yang nodded, "Let’s just fucking do
