Chapter 409: Make a fool for the tiger

Views:

Long Yuehong's expression was still a little stunned and replied:

"it is good."

Jiang Baimian immediately said:

"Then let's help you put on the military exoskeleton device first, so that even if there is a little accident, you can solve it relatively easily."

"Okay, okay." Long Yuehong nodded hurriedly like waking up from a dream.

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian immediately divided the labor and cooperated, one was alert, and the other helped Long Yuehong wear the "AC-45" military exoskeleton device bought from Lehman.

"Wait, if someone proposes, allow them to contact the advance camp and seek rescue." Jiang Baimian instructed, while carrying the remaining old-fashioned military exoskeleton device on his back.

She and Shang Jianyao quickly ran into the forest and disappeared into Long Yuehong's eyes.

After walking another distance, Jiang Baimian stopped and looked back:

"Or, I'll stay here and watch Xiaohong, lest he have any problems?"

"He can handle it himself." Shang Jianyao said seriously, "Trust him."

Jiang Baimian was silent for a few seconds and said:

"All right."

As the leader of the group, she still wanted to go to that cave, observe the environment in person, and arrange follow-up hunting operations.

The two did not delay any longer, and according to the descriptions of Genova and Bai Chen and the various traces on the way, they chased the target location.

In the area where the fierce shootout took place, Long Yuehong, who was wearing a military exoskeleton device, was guarding the place where two cars were hidden, staring at Bob's body and the overgrown weeds more than ten meters away, and was stunned for a while.

He immediately exhaled, cheered up, and turned his attention to the relic hunters whose injuries were initially treated.

Some of these people are sitting with their backs against the trees, groaning in pain from time to time, some are still not fully awake, staying there like a wood carving, some panting, constantly observing the environment, seeming to confirm the current situation, thinking about what to do next doing what.

Those who were seriously injured were basically dead, and the ground was full of corpses.

This is different from the riot in Weed City. Most of the dead were created by the "old tune group".

Long Yuehong followed instinct and monitored this area, but his mind was empty, and he didn't know what to think or what to think, until he saw a relatively lightly injured relic hunter gropingly stood up and walked towards him. come.

His slightly blank eyes quickly returned to normal, looking at the relic hunter and said:

"What's your business?"

He asked politely, but the assault rifle in his hand had already been raised, and the grenade launcher, laser firing hole, and micro submachine gun that came with the military exoskeleton device were also ready to go.

The relic hunter was in his early thirties, with a shaggy beard, messy brown hair, dirty and greasy.

His clothes were in tatters and had not been washed and mended for an unknown period of time.

At this moment, he covered his right rib with one hand and raised his hand with the other, indicating that there was no weapon.

"I want to ask what you plan to do with us?" The relic hunter glanced at the military exoskeleton device on Long Yuehong's body, and his expression became more and more humble, accompanied by a little smile.

Long Yuehong thought for a while and said:

"You are not criminals."

His thinking has returned, and he asked curiously:

"What happened to you before? You don't know each other at all, there is no hatred, and there is no problem of looting the spoils. Why did you suddenly attack us?"

After asking in one breath, Long Yuehong remembered that he should be polite:

"What's your name?"

"Just call me Ron." Seeing that Long Yuehong's attitude was kind, the relic hunter relaxed a lot.

His blue eyes revealed a look of memory:

"It's hard for me to understand now, why we were so crazy just now and wanted to kill you, just like someone gave such an order in his mind."

"You guys have been here all this time, follow, that white wolf?" Long Yuehong thought for a long time, and finally came up with the more appropriate word "follow".

Ron's face suddenly became clouded:

"you can say it this way.

"On that day, my companions and I encountered it, and I watched a few of them become fanatical, as if they had become wild wolves themselves, no longer human.

"The eyes they looked at me were full of hatred and caution. I was terrified, and turned around and ran away, but after only a few steps, I actually, actually, felt that I should obey the white wolf, it is so powerful, like that Charismatic and a natural master.

"In the following period, I, my companions, and other hunters have been following it, helping it clear traps, drive away prey, and deal with enemies.

"Looking back on it now, I feel very unfamiliar and willing to do so many irrational things.

"I, I suspect my mind is controlled by it..."

When speaking of this, Ron's face could not contain a terrified and dazed expression.

He paused and said:

"That white wolf would eat a person regularly. That's how my two companions died, but I wasn't sad at all, I just thought the owner was satisfied..."

At this moment, a word popped out of Long Yuehong's mind:

Make a fool for the tiger.

Thinking of the desperate charge of the group of relic hunters before, Long Yuehong's feeling became stronger and stronger.

At the same time, he noticed a problem and couldn't help but ask:

"When you met the white wolf, your companion was charmed, and you had nothing to do, so you could turn around and run away?"

"Yes." Ron gave a positive answer.

Long Yuehong asked:

"You were at the back of the line then?"

The person in front has entered the ability range, and he is one or two steps away

"I'm in the middle." Ron replied without hesitation.

This... It's not the same as Qiao Chu's "charm"... Wait, the team leader and Shang Jianyao said the same just now... Long Yuehong hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and informed Jiang Baimian and the others.

When Jiang Baimian received Long Yuehong's report, he and Shang Jianyao had arrived at the cave described by Genawa and Bai Chen.

This location is very hidden, tightly hidden by a few boulders and the surrounding environment. If it hadn't been for the White Wolf, even Gnavar wouldn't have discovered it.

"There is no other exit in the nearby area." Genava, who had just returned, reported his gains.

Bai Chen, who was in charge of guarding the entrance of the cave, followed up and said:

"The target didn't come out either."

Jiang Baimian looked at the dark and secluded cave with no end in sight, and said with consideration:

"I don't know what's going on inside. It's not a good thing to enter rashly and explore recklessly."

"It's too deep, and some areas are beyond my detection range." Genova replied, "But in the identified part, everything is normal."

As soon as he finished speaking, the earth suddenly trembled, and the entire mountains seemed to shake a few times.

Immediately afterwards, a dull and terrifying rumbling sound came from the depths of the cave.

Shang Jianyao and others quickly backed away, and when they pulled away, the rock on the top of the cave collapsed, blocking the entrance.

This... Jiang Baimian's eyes widened a little.

When everything calmed down, she frowned and said:

"The cave is completely collapsed

"This movement, this change, doesn't seem like a natural occurrence..."

"Fortunately, Lao Ge and I didn't rush in." Bai Chen sighed sincerely.

It's buried there.

It's also a mortal danger to an intelligent robot like Genava.

Jiang Baimian tried to analyze:

"What did that white giant wolf do

"It has a certain wisdom. After escaping from other exits, it detonated the pre-buried explosives in the cave in some way, and wanted to use this to kill Lao Ge, an enemy that it thought could not be solved by himself?"

Shang Jianyao said thoughtfully:

"There is another possibility."

"What?" Jiang Baimian wanted to hear what this guy had to say.

Shang Jianyao replied with emotion:

"That white giant wolf was arrogant and arrogant. We were blocked here, and there was no other way out. He simply detonated the pre-buried explosives and buried himself in the cave. He would rather die than become a human plaything."

"You really have integrity..." Jiang Baimian agreed not so sincerely.

She immediately exhaled and said:

"Let's go in groups of two and find out if there is any other way out.

"This cave is so deep, the ghost knows where it will lead."

Having said that, she said while thinking:

"Combining with the information passed back by Xiaohong, the ability of this white giant wolf is similar but different from that of 'Charming', and there may be a limit on the number of targets, which is closer to the reality of 'acting for a tiger'.

"Well, during this time, those relic hunters followed it, what did they eat, what did they drink... By hunting? So many people have to hunt every day to fill their stomachs, and such a big movement is another How did you hide such a powerful hunter from Wang Fugui?"

She thought that the remaining "ghost ghosts" might provide some useful clues, so she informed Long Yuehong through the walkie-talkie.

- When they went to find another exit and opened up the distance, the walkie-talkie would not work.

After a few chats, Ron made a request:

"Can I release the flares and ask for help from the forward camp? It's mainly medical. My injuries are nothing, but others are in need."

He was one of the luckier people. At that time, he was only slightly injured by a bullet that went through his ribs. Then he got rid of that abnormal state due to the severe pain and the distance of the white wolf, and quickly put down his weapon. Lying on the ground, he assumed a surrender posture.

Long Yuehong thought of the team leader's instructions, nodded and said:

"it is good."

When wearing a military exoskeleton device, he is not too afraid of the rescuers who advance to the camp will be malicious.

Can't beat it, can't escape

When Ron released the signal flare, he felt the tremor of the ground and glanced suspiciously at the place where the roar came from.

This quickly calmed down, and Long Yuehong casually asked Long En:

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know." Ron looked blank.

Long Yuehong then glanced at the wounded and corpses all over the floor, was silent for a moment, and asked:

"You, don't you hate us?"

"Hate?" Ron laughed, "In that case, I would also attack obviously abnormal enemies, do I have to take care of their emotions? Hehe, those who are still alive should thank you, and those who are dead will not be The question of whether you hate it or not, as for the deceased's companion, I don't know either, my companion was either eaten by the white wolf or died in the mountains."
