Captain Anderson had no other choice and he could merely watch as the striker team disappeared into the dark.
“Captain Anderson, this mission is much more difficult than the others. I heard that there are a few hundred men guarding the place, so the chances of us succeeding in rescuing Professor Tesla are quite slim.”
“Professor Tesla must not end up in their hands.” There was a determined look in Captain Anderson’s eyes as he looked toward the darkened area in front. “Even if we end up with his dead body, we have to bring him back regardless.”
The stars in the sky were shrouded by thick clouds and the ground was rocky and uneven. There was a blanket of snow and the temperature on the ground was near zero. At that moment, several dark figures marched through the snow and their eyes were set on a cave with a slight glow not too far away from them.
The spot where the hostage was kept captive was a strategic cave that could be easily defended but hard to attack.
“Captain Lloyd, this is the furthest we can get. There are a few people standing guard, so we can only launch the drones.”
“Alright.” Richard nodded.
It was then that they launched the drone and it darted ahead like a black-feathered bird cruising silently in the dark. It arrived at the upper part of the cave and observed the terrain of the surroundings.
The drone hovered in the air and suddenly… Crack! The drone broke into pieces and disappeared down the bottom of the ridge.
“We’re exposed. We have to leave,” someone spoke in a low voice.
In the meantime, there were gunshots near the cave with a hail of bullets fired in their direction. The men on the snow covered ground quickly scrambled for cover.
“We’ve been exposed. Retreat.” The team leader gestured a retreat sign.
