The orders were issued in gestures and silence. A smaller team member stood up at this time, handed his backpack and weapon to the people nearby, leaned over and drilled into the snow along the compaction mark. While moving along the mark, the man would stand up at a relatively even distance to indicate the team's direction of progress in real time.

The speed was slow and there was a few trace deviations in the middle. Then several other people also got into the snow, and the traces used to confuse suddenly lost their effect.

Cassia deliberately set up less than a few traces, and the distance was less than three thousand meters long. But when Andrew determined that Cassia had hidden the ice cave, it was already two or three hours later. He did not choose to approach it rashly. After determining the specific location, Andrew asked the team to be hundreds of meters behind. At this time, several captains took the bombs prepared at night and quietly approached there.

While following the traces, Andrew asked all members of the team to take off their shoes and walk barefoot, making it almost impossible to hear. The captains placed steel shell bombs around the ice cave and set up mechanical start switches with alloy lines. After these were finished, more than thirty people were dispersed. Several of the snipers were on the higher terrain in the distance, while the remaining people were separated by a certain distance, surrounded by the entrance of the ice cave buried by snow in a fan formation.

The ice cave is not large, but it also has a considerable area. Andrew estimated that it is approximately equivalent to a circular range of more than 100 meters in diameter. The cavity position is several meters deep to the surface of the ice. The annual freezing makes it impossible for them to be destroyed by guns in a short period of time. Some people in the team were carrying artillery, but Andrew did not think that a few shots could blow through such a thick ice layer.

A captain made a gesture at this time, asking whether he needed to take people to raid in. Andrew did not answer immediately, and looked ahead quietly. The ice layer became a natural barrier between the two. If the remaining 100 people following behind could arrive at this time, there was no need to consider the loss needed to destroy the ice layer. But now, in order to rush, and consider the nature of the enemy, there was no ammunition to satisfy the saturated fire suppression, Andrew always felt unwilling to let these people fight the enemy in close combat.

"It's still uncertain how much the impact of the left shoulder injury is. After the enemy enters the scale state, I am the only one who has a little resistance, but only a few captains are left. Even if they are equipped with blue silver bullets, but no heavy weapons to make the firepower stronger, the musket alone is always a little worse." After thinking for a while, Andrew still thought that he needed to understand the current situation of the enemy first.

Waving his hand at one of the captains, Andrew Jean and the five began to clean up the snow buried at the entrance of the ice cave, while the others were on the sidelines.

The movement seemed light and the speed of clearing the snow was very fast, and there was no limit on the physical strength of ordinary humans. In a few minutes, a gentle slope-like pit appeared in front of everyone. A slight gap also appeared at the entrance of the ice cave. Through him, you could see that there was only darkness and dry air in the ice cave.

It was very quiet, and even the air was not flowing inside. Several temperature perceptions were the same as at the beginning, and nothing was caught. After listening carefully, there was no sound. Andrew tightened the inner layer of clothes covered with characteristic steel shell bombs. Under several silent commands, the two captains each brought three people to both sides of the entrance, and shot several signal flares into the inside through the gap.

The white light illuminated the ice cave. In the bright light of about ten meters in seconds, the eyes of more than a dozen people glanced at them from various locations. There was no harvest, but the traces of some people coming here. The black box at the corner of the end of the ice cave was most obvious, and there were two untaken muskets inside.

It suddenly became a competition between patience. Andrew did not act rashly. Several captains swept away a piece of snow and stuck to the ice to catch the sound, trying to determine whether the enemy was moving in the ice cave. Seeing that there was no result, Andrew asked the two captains and several other members to dig several ice cubes elsewhere, compacting the snow at the entrance, revealing a larger observation space.

There was no one to observe anything. Only then did Andrew ask the two captains to take several people and carefully go to the ice cave to view. The others followed closely behind and the formation dispersed, which ensured that a larger range and stronger fire assistance could be provided in the emergency moment.

"Get out immediately whenever there is any situation." Before giving the order, Andrew said in a gesture, "There must be a trap set by the enemy in the ice cave."

I don’t know when it started, but Andrew could already catch the rising heartbeat of some people in the team. This is very normal because he also felt a lot of pressure.

A captain and three members entered the ice cave. The wreckage of the signal flare just now fell on the ice layer, and a little smoke was still emerging. Four gazes instantly glanced through the inside of the ice cave. One of them had just made a gesture that had not found the enemy and was not yet seen. A tactical knife was inserted into his neck and penetrated directly.

When the blood splashed out, the gunshot echoed with a rumbling sound. Only the captain pulled out in time, and the other two people's bodies and brains exploded and fell heavily at the entrance.

Several signal flares followed up and poured into the ice cave. Several team members with shooting angles had already begun to shoot at the approximate area where the enemy was hiding. The formation quickly closed towards the people and shot the ice cubes in cross-firing. After three or four breaths, dozens of steel shell bombs that counted down after a countdown rolled down accurately like chess pieces on the uneven inner wall of the ice cave, and exploded with a bang.

It was also at this moment that nearly half of the people, led by several captains and Andrew, rushed into the ice cave in a few steps, facing the explosion area.

The violently flowing air was already smelling of smoke. Andrew narrowed his eyes and commanded the team to disperse, his exposed skin was completely covered with a rough white substance. It looked like an exoskeleton, but it was not as hard as the bones should have. The white substance was thick and thin film-like, with some wrinkles, and was attached to the body.

As he took a few steps, the film material was filled with something, and the visible wrinkles disappeared instantly, but they still looked rough. The body also swelled a circle between the filling of the film material, and the clothes were cracked several holes, and the characteristic steel shell bombs hung were also highlighted, growing on his body like a tumor.

The guns of the team members were all discussed for a while, and the ballistic line was turned in a visible state, and now it was all concentrated on Andrew.
