Shang Jianyao heard the words and said as if thinking:
"Ferocious, neat, clean, is this a premeditated revenge?"
In his opinion, it may not be revenge, but it must be premeditated and targeted.
Jiang Baimian looked at the bright and clear entrance of the cave, and thought for a while:
"uncertain.
"It may also be that the residents of Black Rat Town have exposed the line because of certain things, and this cave has been discovered, and no matter their identity, the weapons and ammunition they exchanged from the company, and the winter food they have stored are enough to attract to strong malice.
"The attackers probably didn't think about disguising their identities and eliminating traces at first, because the possession of thermobaric bombs is a relatively obvious feature. Perhaps, they found the wireless telegraph machine when they were searching for supplies at the end of the battle. , I suspected that Black Rat Town had established a connection with a certain major force and became a vassal, and then, in order not to be retributed, he hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield."
Bai Chen couldn't tell whether this incident was premeditated or accidental, and could only draw some relatively obvious conclusions from his own perspective:
"Ignoring the motives for now, what I can barely confirm now are:
"First, the raider team has an order above the standard, otherwise it would be impossible to clean the battlefield so cleanly, leaving almost no clues for us. This basically ruled out the possibility that they were a temporary group of robbers.
"Second, being able to have thermobaric bombs and individual combat weapons means that the strength of the attacker team is also above the standard, and the reputation will not be too small."
Seeing businessmen and Yao seems a little confused, Bai Chen added:
"On the dusty soil, there are very few teams with hidden strength. Only by fully showing their strength can they deter followers and surrounding enemies and occupy enough resources.
"In this regard, only the big forces and loners, as well as a team of several people can be exceptions. However, most of the former were built with one shot and one shot at the beginning, and only after their strength reached a certain level. After the level, some strategic concealments are made, and as for the latter two, most of them do not hide their strength during battle, but there are fewer witnesses and can be effectively controlled."
Jiang Baimian said "um":
"In addition, one detail can be inferred from the current situation:
"The attackers are at least twenty, no, thirty or more people, otherwise it will not be so clean to deal with the guards on the periphery of Black Mouse Town, and it is impossible for the townspeople of Black Mouse Town to shrink in the cave and not try to counterattack. , only considering evacuation through alternate channels."
Shang Jianyao couldn't help but nodded his head.
This kind of reasoning seems so simple, but he didn't think of it just now:
If there are few attackers, with the scale of two or three hundred people in Black Rat Town, plus the various weapons provided by "Pangu Creatures", even if the opponent's equipment is stronger, it can be pushed back completely.
"Yes." Bai Chen glanced at the area that was not illuminated by the flashlight, "Judging from the gunshot wounds on some of the corpses, the weapons of the attacker's team are also relatively mixed, which can almost rule out the possibility of large forces. Of course, perhaps an attack The purpose of refilling guns is to create such traces, but the major forces are not afraid of retaliation at all, and there is no need to do so."
Shang Jianyao gradually got used to this kind of discussion and began to join in:
"You can also rule out the 'slave squad'. For them, the most valuable thing is the population. It is not their style to slaughter the entire town of Black Rat."
"Yeah, even the next person can mine, especially the townspeople of Black Rat Town, who are good at this. Even if they can't pass the psychological level, they are afraid of being infected with diseases and deformed. Ordinary miners are separated, forming separate formations, and supervising remote weapons." Jiang Baimian said casually, without paying attention to any grammar.
She immediately asked:
"do you have anything else?"
Shang Jianyao thought about it and said:
"The raider team may not really have more than 30 people, I mean the core members.
"They can completely coerce dozens of foreign vassals with seven or eight core members, anyway, it looks like they are very powerful on the surface.
"When the battle is over, the battlefield is cleaned up, and the traces are dealt with, the seven or eight core members will do it themselves or supervise the work, which can also achieve very good results."
Jiang Baimian nodded in satisfaction:
"This possibility cannot be ruled out.
"Combining what was said before, and considering the dialogue in the recorder, we can initially outline some characteristics of the attacker's team:
"In the first case, the human team has a number of more than 30, has a good reputation, is ruthless, has rich experience, has strong equipment such as thermobaric bombs, individual combat weapons, does not belong to or does not depend on major forces, Not too short of food yet.
"In the second case, there are less than ten core members, and there are a large number of vassals or cooperative teams."
After summing up, Jiang Baimian's mouth was slightly upturned, but he said without the slightest smile:
"In the first case, although there are a lot of similar teams in the dust, they are definitely not many, and the ones located nearby and those who have recently come to the vicinity are even more numerous, as long as they join the surrounding wilderness wanderers and relic hunters. Contact, should be able to quickly screen out the main suspects, and then investigate one by one.
"The second situation is that there are vassals and cooperative teams, which means that many things can't be kept secret. It's not just talking about people who talk about it. In addition, the materials harvested by those people, in addition to their own use, will also be traded. Go out part, it's all clues.
"By the way, I will carefully search the area near this hill. If it is the second case, it is not ruled out that the seven or eight core members will kill the vassals and collaborators in order to keep things secret."
While speaking, Jiang Baimian murmured as he walked towards the entrance of the cave:
"You guys are serious, why don't you discuss outside? Isn't it uncomfortable to talk here with your knees bent?"
Shang Jianyao was still a little immersed in the shock of the black rat town being slaughtered. He didn't expect that the team leader had basically returned to normal, at least on the surface, so he had to quickly follow.
After coming outside and informing Long Yuehong of the general situation, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to ask:
"Team leader, what should we do next? Apart from searching the surrounding area to see if there are any traces of murder."
Jiang Baimian looked back at the cave:
"This is a major incident. Isn't there an emergency flare on the car? Send it out to let the company know that something is wrong here, um, you have to go to a higher place, so that even if the company's outposts are too far apart and don't find it, they will Some vassal forces in different places saw it and sent a telegram to notify."
"This will attract a lot of wilderness wanderers, robber groups, and relic hunters..." Bai Chen followed and looked at the entrance of Black Rat Town with a little worry.
Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:
"Yes. For those who want to stock up on food for the winter, this is all good meat. Wash it, pickle it, and hang it to dry. It's a great harvest."
"Team leader, what you said is terrible..." Long Yuehong couldn't help taking a breath.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him:
"I said this on purpose, so that you and Shang Jianyao can get used to it as soon as possible, so as not to see a similar scene with your own eyes, and be strongly impacted, and you will not be able to recover for a while.
"Oh, on the dusty soil, the probability of encountering similar things is not low."
She didn't say more about this matter, and thought about it for a while:
"In this way, we set off signal flares at the top of the hill or hill next door to guide the relic hunters and wilderness wanderers in that direction.
"As for the company, there is only one collaborator in Black Mouse Town in this area. As long as it does not exceed the corresponding range, no matter where the emergency signal bomb is launched, it will only lead them to think about Black Mouse Town for the first time."
After talking, Jiang Baimian looked at Long Yuehong who was wearing an exoskeleton device:
"Look around for larger stones, bring them all back, and block the entrance to the cave. By the way, the alternate passage must also be blocked. This will prevent the beast from smelling and destroying the traces. It can prevent the relic hunters and wilderness wanderers who have searched here from directly discovering the existence of the cave. Well, with the equipment they have, even if they do find it, it is quite difficult to open the blocked hole, and the company's People are very professional.”
Long Yuehong easily understood the team leader's words, and began to look for a large rock that was far beyond the limits of the human body and could only be moved by an exoskeleton device.
After returning the corpses outside to Black Rat Town, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others dealt with the blood stains while watching Long Yuehong, who covered the iron-black metal skeleton, bring in the stones, first blocking the spare exit, and then sealing the cave entrance. .
"Okay, let's go back to the jeep and set off flares elsewhere." Jiang Baimian stared at the pile of disguised stones for a few seconds, then turned away.
When she was about to get into the car, she stopped and turned around and said:
"After the flares were fired, we found a hidden place nearby to camp.
"After that, before the company's people came, we all had to stay here to prevent accidents and prevent the scene from being destroyed. In addition, we just happened to submit the information about the ruins of the city and the monks."
Regarding this arrangement, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen have no opinion, and believe that this is an inevitable development.
Compared with the small task of sending a water purification device filter chip that doesn't matter for a few days or even half a month, the matter here is obviously more important.
"It will take about two or three days." Jiang Baimian smiled slightly, "Just right, you can exercise your ability to survive in the wild."
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong to respond, she went around to the driver's seat, opened the door, and sat on it.
Ten minutes later, at the top of a hill to the southwest, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong stood quietly on the edge.
Jiang Baimian didn't immediately fire the emergency flares carried by the "Old Tune Team" with the grenade gun, but waited for a while, until the clouds drifted past, covering the sun, and the light became dim before pulling the trigger.
With a bang, the dazzling red light exploded in the sky, like a bloodthirsty flower in full bloom.
