The camera focused on two missiles flying above the orbit.
Two RS-20V Voyevoda intercontinental ballistic missiles, each carrying six Multiple Independently targetable Reentry Vehicles (MIRVs), with each warhead capable of producing an explosion of approximately 550 kilotons of TNT equivalent.
Perhaps some people don't understand the concept of a 550-kiloton TNT equivalent explosion. Simply put, if it were aimed at the U.S.A., the entire East Coast could be leveled.
Three densely populated cities, with nearly forty million casualties, far more powerful than the previous one.
Command: "Enter the launch site as quickly as possible and capture the launch control center. We are trying to obtain the termination codes."
"Understood," Price replied as he led the charge.
"The show has begun, Captain." Griggs, on the other hand, appeared quite relaxed at this moment.
Infiltrate the missile base, find the console, and initiate the missile self-destruct sequence.
This is what Liu Peiqie should be doing. When the perspective shifted back to Old Mac, he had already followed Price into the forests of the Altai Mountains.
Gunfire erupted all around, more lively than firecrackers on New Year's.
Charge!
Charge!!
Desperately advancing towards the enemy missile base, charge!
Charging forward without regard for casualties!
For a full hour, Liu Peiqie didn't know how many times he had died, how many enemy tanks he had destroyed, or how many assault rifles he had taken down.
Finally, they reached the enemy missile base.
Team 3: "B-6 Attack Team 3 entering from the northwest, target acquisition complete."
Price, operating a chainsaw, replied, "Team 3, roger! We'll rendezvous with you near the abandoned shaft north of the launch pad, over!"
Screeeech!!
The chainsaw emitted a piercing noise, continuously cutting through the manhole cover above the launch shaft.
Sparks flew everywhere, exceptionally dazzling.
Liu Peiqie was responsible for providing cover for his teammates.
Team 3: "Give us some time to cut open the ventilation shaft entrance."
Marines: "Cutting now, stand by."
Dozens of people worked continuously, and the steel bars as thick as an arm were quickly sawed through.
Boom...
Bang—!
As the last support beam was cut, the circular manhole cover, over two meters in diameter, plummeted down.
Grigori pulled out a rope, secured it, and leaped down.
Hiss hiss hiss—!
Liu Peiqie followed suit. Upon Price's command, everyone glided straight down to the bottom of the launch shaft, searching for the hidden control console.
Shortly after entering the shaft, a message came from the command center: they had sent the termination codes.
They also revealed that there were fifteen minutes left until the missiles detonated, and they only had fifteen minutes to use the termination codes to self-destruct the missiles in mid-air. 138 Reading Network.
The situation became extremely critical. The death countdown in the upper right corner invisibly added a lot of pressure to Liu Peiqie.
As a result, he rushed forward several times and was killed by stray bullets or rear-echelon enemies.
Later, he learned to be smart and followed directly behind Price. If you're not in a hurry, neither am I.
This was indeed a good method. Liu Peiqie's death count dropped significantly, but the pressure from the death countdown in the upper right corner grew stronger.
Finally, they stopped in front of a tightly closed blast door.
Gates: "Captain Price, this is Gates. We've secured the base's security system. How's it going on your end?"
Price: "Team 2, we're in position. Please open the outer door to the launch control room."
"Understood, working on it." Gates was truly an all-around teammate. Having him around saved a lot of time, which was very similar to Ghost.
Thump thump thump—
Time ticked by second by second. Price paced back and forth anxiously in front of the door.
But he did not urge them verbally. The atmosphere entered a state of eerie silence, with only the alarm light on the door emitting a continuous hum.
"Wait, almost there."
Gates offered a comforting remark.
After another minute, Gates' voice, filled with relief, came through: "Done, the door is activated."
Upon hearing this, Price immediately entered combat readiness, raising his weapon and aiming at the closed blast door.
Two seconds later...
The door still showed no movement.
Price and Griggs had prepared for nothing. Griggs stood up and shook his hands: "Are you kidding me..."
Price also grew impatient, "Gates, can you make this thing open faster?"
"Negative, sir. You can try pulling it if it makes you feel any better." Gates exhibited a rare moment of humor.
At this moment, the closed blast door finally showed a slight movement, opening slowly, frame by frame, like a slow-motion scene.
"You damn kid..." Price chuckled and cursed.
The blast door slowly opened. When the gap was wide enough to fit two fingers, Liu Peiqie decisively drew his weapon.
Through the gap in the door, the red dot of the scope clearly saw dense bullets sweeping towards the iron door, sparks flying.
Upon spotting the enemy, he decisively pulled the trigger.
After clearing the guards inside the door, this five-ton heavy armored lead door barely opened to a gap wide enough for one person to pass through.
Through the gap, several people successfully passed and headed straight for the control console deep inside.
Using a breaching charge to blast a passage through the wall, Liu Peiqie and the others successfully reached the control room.
Rat-tat-tat-tat—!!
Stepping through the smoke, Liu Peiqie flashed into the room and began shooting, his firearm raised. Facing the experienced veteran team, the dozen guards in the control room did not resist for long before being annihilated.
Griggs: "Clear!"
"We have ten minutes left!"
Price: "Soap, enter the codes! We'll hold off enemy reinforcements!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Peiqie decisively moved to the control console.
[Uploading termination codes...]
After the progress bar filled, the command center sent a message: "Awaiting confirmation."
"Wait... just a little longer..."
Bang bang bang—!!
Even now, Liu Peiqie's heart was pounding. His eyes were fixed on the screen, and while waiting, he listened intently with his ears.
"B-6, all warheads have been confirmed to have self-destructed in mid-air. Although there are many debris, most of them have fallen into the sea."
Just as the command center delivered the good news, a video clip came from the Marines: "Sir, look at the surveillance! Zakhaev has taken off and is escaping!"
In the footage, a bald man was slowly boarding an airplane under the cover of numerous guards.
"We can't let this old bastard get away. He's too damn anti-social, just throwing nuclear bombs around. Such a person absolutely cannot be allowed to live!"
Liu Peiqie looked filled with trepidation, still feeling the lingering fear.
At this moment, Gates' voice came through: "Captain Price, this is Gates from the security outpost. They came in trucks, I think we can use these trucks to leave here. I've already sent you the coordinates for the parking lot."
"Understood, rendezvous at the parking lot, over."
Price waved his hand and said, "Follow me, let's go!"
"Oh yeah, let's go get Zakhaev!"
