"Sir, we are less than thirty miles away now."
The technical officer controlling the drone looked back at Colonel Nieuweiler.
"Well, it is about the right time."
Two Hercules transport planes had already taken off before, transporting all the scientific researchers away from here, leaving only a dozen or so of them to arrange here.
"Has everything been set up?"
"It's all done, the signal is good, ready to be activated anytime."
"Alright, when will they arrive?"
"They will be here soon."
Sure enough, along with this reply, Colonel Nieuweiler faintly heard the noise of propeller rotation. As he looked up towards the window, a Chinook transport helicopter flew across the sky from the horizon, slowly landing on the runway above the research station in a while.
The escape route had arrived. What they had to do now was wait.
Half hour later, those with keen eyes spotted abnormalities at the horizon.
"Here they come!"
