At this time, the Carter family, who were trapped in the Gobi Desert, had not yet felt the danger.
Bob's wife Ethel is preparing dinner.
The eldest daughter, Lynn, was in the car taking care of her daughter, baby Katherine, who was just one year old. Her husband, Doug, went to explore the way ahead and has not returned yet.
The second daughter, Brenda, moved a deck chair and sunbathed outside.
The youngest son Bobby took the two sheepdogs and explored the nearby rocks.
Western families who are used to raising children "free-range" never noticed that Bobby had gradually left the sight of adults and entered the rugged and ferocious mountains.
Bobby was holding a wooden stick and waving it casually in the air. At just fourteen years old, he was in a rebellious stage and hated this so-called family group activity.
The car parked in such a wilderness gave him some free time.
It's a pity that at his age, he only cares about his own naughty children and doesn't know how dark and cruel the world is.
The shepherd dogs that had been loyally guarding Bobby suddenly heard something, and the hair on their backs stood up, and they barked desperately in front.
Bobby was startled and looked up. I saw a little girl in a dress standing beside a huge rock not far ahead.
"Firefall, Huobao, stop barking"
Poppy loudly stopped the barking of the two shepherd dogs, and then took a closer look at the girl, although her little face was hidden in the shadows, making her appearance unclear. But the overall look is pitiful, which suits the taste of this little boy.
Bobby quickly adjusted his collar, coughed a few times, and tried to imitate his father or brother-in-law: "Hello, my name is Bobby, what's your name?"
The little girl didn't speak, but backed away in fear.
Bobby hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. If you're afraid of dogs, don't worry, these two dogs won't hurt you, because I will protect you."
Before Bobby could finish speaking, a sheepdog suddenly barked again. The little girl immediately turned around and ran away without saying a word.
"Damn stupid dog"
Poppy cursed and quickly chased after the little girl. The faster one than him was a sheepdog, which rushed forward first to clear the way for Bobby, while the other sheepdog followed behind.
Then just as Poppy passed through the huge rock, a stone the size of a water tank suddenly rolled down from it.
Looking at the road blocked by rocks in front of him, Xie Lun had no choice but to stop the car and asked in a deep voice: "How far is it?"
Bob gritted his teeth and said, "It will take ten minutes if we drive."
"Ten minutes" Xie Lun looked sideways at the sun hanging on the top of the mountain and frowned, "Then we have to hurry up, because by the time we arrive, the sun will probably set."
With that said, Sherron pulled a body armor from behind and threw it to Bob.
Bob watched in stunned silence as Sherron, like a magic trick, lifted up the back seat to reveal the arsenal underneath.
"You have only been retired for a few years, but your nia's equipment is already so complete?"
"I don't think this is enough."
After Sherron fully armed himself, he put an explosion-proof helmet on Bob's head with his backhand, and finally took out a huge satellite phone.
It would be a shame not to shout when there is support.
This is not a superhero movie.
"Special Agent Xie Lun, serial number, security code." Xie Lun quickly reported a series of numbers. "The fifth situation has occurred. Coordinates. We are now requesting emergency support from nearby departments."
A somewhat nervous female voice came from the phone: "Received, agent number, the identity has been confirmed, the rescue message has been sent, please hold on."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Lun directly opened the insurance on hk416 and said to Bob: "Are you ready?"
Bob gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll be ready at any time."
"Walk"
The two jumped out of the car, one behind the other, moving forward cautiously but quickly.
At the NIA headquarters in Washington, Hollis was rubbing her temples and looking at the case files on the table. There was a photo clipped between the files, and it was Edmund's face on it.
Suddenly the landline phone on the desk rang. Hollis took it and said angrily: "What's going on? That bastard got up to something again. Wait, I'll be there right away."
Hollis put the case files into the safe, then stood up and left the office, quickly coming to the communications room.
Seeing Hollis arriving, several people in the communication room quickly stood up and saluted.
Hollis waved her hand: "Stop following so many rules and tell me about the current situation."
"Yes, 5 minutes ago, the New Mexico branch received an urgent request for help from Agent Xie Lun. After positioning and the coordinates reported by Agent Xie, we found that he is now at the Kandar training ground in New Mexico."
One of his subordinates explained as pictures flashed across the screen.
"The Kandal Training Ground was a place where the military secretly tested nuclear weapons in the last century. It is said that a total of 331 experiments were carried out. However, the training ground has been abandoned for decades because theoretically it is no longer suitable for human habitation, so in It’s not surprising that there are criminals there.”
"The fifth situation refers to the danger of unknown enemies and hostages. In view of this situation, in addition to notifying the nearest police station, we also notified the nearest garrison. They have agreed to our request and are ready to send a team to search and rescue .”
Hearing that the military was dispatched, Hollis breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and asked, "Then where is Agent Sherron?"
"Um, just now we lost the position of Agent Xie Lun. After analysis, it should be due to magnetic field or radiation interference."
"This bastard knows how to run around. What are you doing here when you have nothing to do? The radiation is so high, you bastard is not married yet."
Hollis cursed a few words in her heart, but said expressionlessly on the surface: "Okay, you continue to monitor and report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation."
Xie Lun's judgment of the time was a little optimistic. They were only halfway through when the sun was already blocked by the mountains in the distance, and darkness enveloped this desolate land.
Although the journey was peaceful, there was no enemy attack. But Xie Lun could feel that on the mountains on both sides of the road, there were pairs of vicious eyes staring at him.
Once there is any flaw in oneself, those guys hiding in the dark will rush out without hesitation and put themselves to death.
"flaw"
Xie Lun thought about it.
It's not his style to be passively beaten, it's his nature to take the initiative.
But the "flaw" is not so easy to act. How to take it for granted and make the other party believe it is a great test of acting skills.
At this time, Bob next to him suddenly screamed and fell to the ground: "My feet deserve to be damned. I've been caught in a trap. Be careful."
"yes"
Sherron gave Bob a mental thumbs up.
As expected, they are veteran police detectives with many years of good understanding and professional acting skills. Although they haven't gotten along with each other yet, they already know what they should do.
Tsk tsk, look at that person’s expression, that scream, those twisted facial features, how real and believable they are.
I admire you
