Chapter 304: Strongest backup

Lin Rui nodded and said, "There is one more thing. This action is in addition to our team. ----Thor Company as the employer will also send people to participate."
"What kind of person?" Jason frowned.
"It should be an expert in drones. So this time we not only want to retrieve the drones, but we must also ensure the safety of the experts appointed by the employer. The value of this drone R&D expert is not lower than the aircraft itself. "Lin Rui said helplessly.
"Why is this? Does Raytheon have to send someone to stare at us?" Yelena frowned. "Let us take a layman on a mission, isn't it too cumbersome?"
"No way, this is the employer's request. I have also tried to reject it, but Mr. Long and Silver Wolf both said that there is no room for negotiation. We have to meet the employer's request after we take this task. So although we will compare It's troublesome, but we must also do it according to the requirements of the caregiver." Lin Rui said helplessly.
The door of the tactical room was knocked. Lin Rui and the other team members were a little startled, because the knock on the door was too rhythmic. Tap three times, pause, then tap three times, pause again.
Lin Rui said inexplicably, "Come in."
The one who came in was a young man who looked very thin, wearing glasses, a short-sleeved shirt, tie, and neatly combed hair. But such a person should not usually appear on this island. Most of the mercenaries that can reach here are five big and three rough mercenaries, this young man who looks polite and restrained, looks like a college student in every way. And he is the kind of serious student.
This young student with a good student appearance tried his best to keep a smile and said, "Actually, I am not a layman, at least not in drones. I am the deputy leader of Raytheon's fifth R&D team. You can call me Louis."
Lin Rui looked at him and said, "Are you the expert who wants to act with us?"
Louis nodded, "Yes, please rest assured, I will not affect your actions, and I can provide some help. You know, although I am not a combatant, I have also received some training. I also have a pistol, Although I don’t use it often, I have received basic shooting training."
"Uh, interrupt, can you put your gun away?" Lin Rui said helplessly, "I have no intention of offending, but if you have really received shooting training, you should know the basics of common sense. Mouth to people."
"And the gun in your pocket should be closed for insurance." Jiang Kishi smiled and walked over and closed the insurance on Louis's pistol.
"Oh. I'm sorry, I'm not really familiar with these." Louis looked embarrassed.
Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Well, Mr. Team Leader, I suggest that before you hurt yourself, you'd better leave the gun to this gentleman for safekeeping. Believe me, you will not be in danger if you follow us."
"But it is said that the situation on Andira's side is very chaotic." Louis hesitated.
"If you act with us, we will ensure your safety. This is included in our agreement." Lin Rui nodded, "Now let's talk about it. What have you brought us?"
"Oh, there is some latest information." Louis nodded. "This is the coordinate position of the crash of prototype 0. Judging from the image returned by the drone, it looks like a small base. But when our people rush When I arrived at the accident site, I found that there was nothing left. There was no base, no traces of personnel activities, just a desert."
"Then how are you sure where the incident happened?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Because we found some scattered debris, which were all on the prototype. So we can be sure that there was nothing wrong with the crash site. But this small base and other personnel have all retreated. Of course they also took the drones. Most of the wreckage, and core components." Louis explained.
"How long did it take from the time the drone crashed to when your people rushed to the location of the incident?" Lin Rui frowned.
"As soon as the incident was discovered, our people rushed to the location of the incident. We had a rapid response team during the test to deal with such incidents. They are all experienced personnel and equipped with helicopters. So they It took less than an hour to arrive." Louis said.
"Less than an hour? The image data taken by the drone shows that there is a small, well-equipped base below. That is to say, after shooting down the drone, they disappeared in less than an hour. No trace." Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes. This area is at the junction of Santujac and Andira. The terrain is complex. There are deserts and canyons. If these people evacuated immediately after the incident, they might be hidden from us." Louis opened The map on the computer said, "The place of the accident is here, there is a canyon two kilometers away, and some jungles that are enough to cover their tracks."
"In any case, it is absolutely premeditated to be able to move so quickly. Only when everything is prepared in advance and the evacuation route is arranged. Will the evacuation be so orderly and silently." Jiang An Nodded. "From the image data, they have large vehicles and many facilities. It is not realistic to completely withdraw from this area. So they are likely to have entered this canyon to avoid your emergency team.
"So where does this canyon lead?" Lin Rui frowned.
"This is a dry valley that extends to the border area of ​​Andira. That area has been very chaotic in history, and there are many factions of militants operating in that area. After Andira's president was assassinated, it was even more chaotic. Recently, some members of Al-Qaeda who were dispersed in the Middle East are also active in this area. We have no way of knowing who hijacked this prototype." Louis Road.
"Isn't there news that the wreckage and core components of this plane will be auctioned?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, the news came from the famous underground arms black market. It is said that several international buyers have expressed interest in this." Louis shook his head. "Once this prototype is auctioned, what about this prototype? A large amount of information and technology of the company will be drained. This new generation of drones built at a great price by Raytheon will not be officially in service from now on. Raytheon’s various direct and indirect losses will be in the hundreds of millions."
"We must retrieve this drone within two weeks, and now we have a serious lack of information. We don't even know who made it. This is the biggest problem right now." Lin Rui frowned.
"That's why I'm here, gentlemen. I will contact Raytheon directly. During the operation, Raytheon's various resources will be given priority for your use. Including satellites and other necessary technical means, just get back the prototype. We will provide the strongest support." Louis looked at Lin Rui.
