Jiang Cheng looked at the tortured white soldiers. These people were destined to be tortured to death. It was only a matter of time. However, instead of suffering like this, they might be looking forward to an early death.
"Gather!" A U.S. Army officer roared loudly, attracting the attention of all the civilian captives. He held a whip in his hand and walked back and forth, glancing at the captives around him with a gloomy expression.
All the civilian captives slowly walked over and lined up in a few rows in front of him. They looked at the U.S. Army officer and waited for his next order.
The U.S. Army officer came to the front of the crowd and swept his gaze across everyone's faces. Then, he raised his whip and pointed at one person. "You, and you, come out! The second person in the third row behind you, and … "He called out names one by one, picking out more than 30 people from nearly 400 captives.
Jiang Cheng was among them!
Trouble has come looking for me … Jiang Cheng sighed secretly. He did not disobey the order and walked out of the line with the others. They came in front of the U.S. Army officer and lined up in a row.
The U.S. Army officer beckoned to Jiang Cheng and the others and said, "All of you, follow me!"
The 30 people who were called out followed the U.S. Army officer out of the captive camp under the escort of the U.S. Army. Jiang Cheng was surprised to find that the dark and thin young man who asked for food from him last night was walking in front of him. So, he lowered his voice and asked where the U.S. Army was taking them.
The dark and thin young man's expression was very ugly. There was even a hint of fear in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "We … We're going to be sent for investigation."
"Ah?" Jiang Cheng was surprised. The U.S. Army did not go through any investigation at all when they arrested people. They only arrested people to do human experiments. They should not be doing something as troublesome as pretending to investigate. However, when he saw the dark and thin young man's fearful expression, he asked, "Since they're going to do an investigation, what are you afraid of?"
"In the past, none of the people who went to do the investigation ever returned. Some said that they were released, while others said that they died during interrogation. The US military will definitely interrogate us the same way as the Caucasian soldiers," the dark and skinny young man said with a terrified expression.
Jiang Cheng's expression changed. It was impossible for them to have been released. They must have been beaten to death or locked up somewhere else. However, they must have become the playthings of the US military. This was not in line with his plan. What he wanted was to enter the laboratory of the genetic modification program. If he became the "training equipment" of the US military, it would be quite troublesome. He would not be able to enter the laboratory at all.
"Hurry up!" the U.S. Army soldiers who were escorting them urged.
Under the escort of these U.S. Army soldiers, Jiang Cheng and more than 30 people came to the barbed wire fence of the captive camp. There was a small door there. The leading U.S. Army officer opened the door and ushered Jiang Cheng and the others out of the small door. Then, he closed the door again and led Jiang Cheng and the others to a truck with seven or eight other U.S. Army soldiers who were armed with guns. They asked everyone to get on the truck, and then the truck drove southwest of the base.
This military base covered an area of about ten kilometers. It would take more than ten minutes to travel from the south to the north by car. Jiang Cheng had no idea where he would be taken to. He was a little confused, but this was a great opportunity to observe the surrounding terrain. Of course, he wouldn't let it go. He glanced around and tried his best to remember all the terrain in his mind.
Jiang Cheng did not set which route he would take to escape. Everything was based on the situation. Now was the critical time to collect information. If he could find useful information at this time, it would be of great help to the next operation!
The truck drove quickly, and the situation along the way was clear at a glance. They could even see fighter jets and tanks parked in the base on both sides of the road. What surprised Jiang Cheng even more was that there was a short runway under the fighter jets. However, the runway was a little different. It was not a concrete asphalt road, but a few black steel carpet-like things. Those things … those things seemed to be … electromagnetic catapults!
While Jiang Cheng was shocked, he thought to himself, "So that's how it is." With these electromagnetic catapults, there was naturally no need for a long runway. However, the U.S. Army unscrupulously showed them these things. They were not worried at all about secrets being leaked. It seemed that they had already determined that no one here would be able to leave this place alive.
As for the fighter jets and tanks, Jiang Cheng recognized them. There were no new models, and he did not know if there were any internal modifications. However, there was a fighter jet that was being trained with ammunition. He had never seen the artillery shells under its wings before. Perhaps it was a new experimental model that was being trained in actual combat in Syria and Iraq, using human lives to train!
Jiang Cheng noticed that two fighter jets had already been loaded and were preparing to take off. The model was the U.S. Army's most powerful fighter jet, the F22, and it was being tested on a new weapon. He had heard that U.S. Army pilots could undergo more than 200 hours of flight training every year. There were flight simulations and actual combat training almost every day in the air force base. When he saw this, his heart skipped a beat!
The military heavy truck drove forward for another five minutes or so before finally stopping. It came to a stop at the location of a U.S. Army training camp. Many U.S. Army soldiers were doing combat training next to it. There seemed to be about 200 of them.
(Could it be that he brought me here just for human combat training?) Jiang Cheng's face darkened. The U.S. Army's actions were as cruel as those of World War II.
If he was treated as a human combat training target, whether he was killed here or escaped, his plan to sneak into the laboratory would be ruined. It was a very difficult choice to make!
After arriving at the place, several U.S. Army soldiers jumped out of the truck first. They then put down the barrier and shouted at Jiang Cheng and the others in the truck.
"All of you, get out!"
Except for Jiang Cheng, many people here felt very confused. Weren't they supposed to be taken to the interrogation room for investigation? Why did they suddenly come to this military training area? However, they did not dare to hesitate and immediately began to get out of the truck one by one. Soon, more than 30 captives, including Jiang Cheng, all got out of the truck.
"Follow me over here!" The U.S. Army officer who had just called out names in the captive camp glanced at Jiang Cheng and the others with an indifferent expression. He then waved his hand and said to them.
"Follow them, hurry up!" The other U.S. Army soldiers followed behind and urged.
Jiang Cheng and the other 30 captives had to speed up their pace and walk forward behind the U.S. Army officer. Soon, they were brought into the training base inside the barbed wire fence. They walked toward the about 200 U.S. Army soldiers who were doing combat training. When they came to the front, he turned around and shouted, asking the captives to line up.
The U.S. Army soldiers in front of him were all strong. They wore camouflage military pants and black shirts. Their full muscles were perfectly outlined, and their eyes were fierce. They all looked very strong. A few of them were particularly strong. They looked like the muscular demons in the movies!
The first impression that these people gave to Jiang Cheng was that they were not ordinary! They were by no means comparable to ordinary U.S. Army soldiers. They should be a special force in this military base, elites selected from ordinary soldiers!
The U.S. Army soldiers who were originally training to fight each other stopped. After a military whistle sounded, in less than 30 seconds, the 200 soldiers lined up in a neat square formation. Everyone was silent and looked straight ahead with serious expressions. With so many people standing together, it immediately made people feel a solemn atmosphere!
A soldier in his early 30s, who was not very strong but looked quite handsome and had a unique temperament, came to the officer who brought Jiang Cheng and the others here. He said something indifferently, then walked in front of Jiang Cheng and the other captives. His eyes swept across everyone's face and body. Finally, he turned around and shouted at the U.S. Army officer, "Who are these people you brought?! Do these people deserve to be trained with us? "
This person was dressed the same as the 200 special forces soldiers. He seemed to be the leader of this group. He had a look of disdain on his face. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Jiang Cheng and the others. He felt that these people were too weak. After all, although these 30 people were all men, only a few of them looked strong. They were either thin or old. Every one of them looked very weak. Like Jiang Cheng, who looked quite tall but was not sallow and skinny, he was considered to be of high quality.
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and sighed in his heart. As expected, they were going to be targets for unarmed combat practice! Now they were still being picky.
The U.S. Army officer was embarrassed. He immediately walked up and whispered a few words in the person's ear. Then, he took a step back with a troubled expression and said softly, "That's basically it. Try to keep the people with good physical fitness."
The leader of the special forces team nodded with a gloomy expression.
Even though their voices were very soft, at such a close distance, Jiang Cheng could still make out the gist of what was going on with his extraordinary hearing. The US military officer seemed to be the person in charge of capturing captives or sending them into human experiments. What he said next to the special forces captain's ear was that the geneticists had made a request to him to keep those who were physically fit for the experiment. Those who were too weak would often not survive the drug reaction period …
With such a good reason, the leader of the special forces team couldn't say anything more. He turned his head and looked at the 30 or so captives. He raised his hand and pointed, picking out three people. "The three of you, come out!" he said with a wave of his hand.
The three people who were picked walked out of the group helplessly. Fortunately, Jiang Cheng wasn't selected for the first time.
The three people who were selected walked up to the leader of the special forces team and looked around helplessly. They didn't know what to do.
The leader of the special forces team looked at the three people with a serious expression. He turned around and waved at the people next to him. Immediately, a person pushed a cart forward. The cart was filled with all kinds of food. There were canned seafood, packaged steaks, bread, cheese, chips, dips, and so on. It was extremely rich. In a place like Syria, this kind of food could be considered a luxurious feast.
