In the middle of the night, everyone in the hunting team fell asleep.
In such a dangerous place, according to the convention, the strongest member of the hunting team should be on duty at night.
So Lin Shuo did his part, but what was different tonight was that Cao Yusheng didn't rest, but made a pot of strong tea and stayed with Lin Shuo.
The nephew and uncle sat facing each other, their expressions were different from the relaxed one when everyone was chatting before, and now they are very dignified.
Because the situation that everyone is facing now has actually taken a turn for the worse in recent days and suddenly deteriorated.
This greatly exceeded previous expectations.
The two were chatting and laughing as usual just now, they didn't want to dampen everyone's morale.
But in fact, there are at least three flying corpses, and at least two of them are corpse kings. With the current configuration of this hunting team, it is a question of whether this number and level of prey can be eaten.
After the surrounding snoring sounded everywhere and confirmed that everyone else had fallen asleep, Cao Yusheng looked up at Lin Shuo and said three words softly: "People will die."
Lin Shuo nodded, knowing that the hunter's prediction was correct.
Facing two corpse king-level white-headed flying corpses, this hunting team is very likely to die.
Cao Yusheng stared at Lin Shuo and said, "You should know who is most likely to die in battle."
Lin Shuo's face sank like water, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
During the trip to the crypt yesterday at noon, Lin Shuo had a deeper understanding of the white-headed flying corpse.
The white-headed flying corpse would be difficult for any of the six hunters.
Especially the hunters of the Su family, they were really overwhelmed by the sonic attack.
If my group of people faced the sonic attack of more than three flying corpses, the first to bear the brunt would be Anne, whose perception was far more sensitive than ordinary people.
She has the greatest chance of dying.
"But if it's a retreat, this little girl will be the first to refuse." Cao Yusheng continued, "The special team of strange creatures that she and her mentor Miao Guangqi set up, because of the matter of the King of Yama, is now very tight on funds. , pointing to the resurrection of this business.
Don't look at this girl who is usually easy to talk, but in fact she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. If you want to let her withdraw at this time, there is only one way, which is to take her out of her mind, knock her out or drug her. "
"She can hear you." Lin Shuo reminded.
"I usually like to do things ahead of time, but she can't hear me now." Cao Yusheng said, "I just put sleeping pills in her water, and she must be asleep right now."
Lin Shuo froze for a moment, smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Don't blame the leader. When talking about things, you must clarify your identity. She is not only a hunter, but also the owner of our business. When talking about this kind of thing, you have to avoid the owner." Cao Yusheng said.
Lin Shuo sighed, and then said: "We hunters have only had two ways to go into the mountains since ancient times, either to return with the prey on our backs, or to die in the mountains and give up halfway after receiving the business, no way.
There are rules in the hunting gate. Once this kind of thing happens, not only the hunter in question will be removed, but the threshold of his family will also be lowered.
Now here, four of the six families are here, if we really want to do this kind of thing, we don't have to think about guarding the threshold of our own family, let's kill ourselves in public one by one.
So the mastermind, my nephew and uncle are talking about things, you don't have to play with me this trick of asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the spot. "
Cao Yusheng blushed and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "The leader taught you the lesson."
Lin Shuo stared at the old hunter, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do, just tell me."
Cao Yusheng coughed, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice, "Leader, I am a generation older than you, and I will tell you a truth today.
At such a critical moment, for those who are in charge of the game, love for their children and a moment of high spirits are all unacceptable.
Pursuing the maximum benefit with the minimum loss is what a leader should consider.
The few of you now, regardless of your abilities, are all young people in their early twenties or even in their twenties, and you are the only seedlings in each family, and it is still too early to bloom.
Today's hunting gate cannot afford such a loss.
After the rest of my life, Cao Mian, my son, studied for a Ph.D. in Cambridge, England.
There are not many nine-inch hunters in this world, and I, Cao Yusheng, at least count as one.
What you, Lin Shuo, can do, I can do with a little more effort.
The matter of the flying corpse is a disaster of the Cao family, and it should be borne by me, the current Patriarch of the Cao family, due to emotion and reason.
You give me five days.
You guard these juniors and wait for me for five days.
If I can come back within five days, the deal will be done.
If I can't come back, I, the mastermind of Liemen, died on the mountain, and I can still give Liemen an explanation.
It does cost some face, but it's better than betting everything on it and taking the risk. "
After hearing this, Lin Shuo said calmly, "The six families entered the mountain. The head of the Lin family is the leader, and the head of the Cao family is the mastermind. The mastermind has the right to make suggestions, but the decision-making power is in the hands of the leader. Do you think I will agree? Is this your suggestion?"
"As I said just now, how should the person in charge think?" Cao Yusheng said lightly, "Lin Shuo, don't let me down."
"Okay." Lin Shuo nodded, "For now, let's put the nephew-uncle relationship aside and let's discuss the matter.
It is true to gain the maximum benefit with the minimum loss.
But there must be a prerequisite, that is, there is this opportunity to gain the greatest benefit.
If there is no chance, no matter how small the loss is, it is also a deadweight loss.
You are a mastermind, the world says you have nine inches of ability, but I don't see it now, so why should I believe you
If you want me to agree to this matter, you have to let me see that you are capable enough and have this opportunity.
If there is no chance, why would I make such a decision by paying for such a useful staff officer in vain, but nothing has changed at all? "
Cao Yusheng said: "Your father should have something to say about me, don't you believe it?"
"My father, I'm afraid that I will despise others after I become an artist, so my evaluation of others is inflated, and they all praise them. Before Li Yizhen and Fan Ping'an, he could praise the sky, and the result?" Lin Shuo said, "However, it would be inappropriate for me to fight with you now. Why don't you show me your hand?"
Cao Yusheng seemed to be very angry at these words, and finally stretched out his hand and took the box beside him.
He sat there for a while, as if he had finally figured out something, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The mastermind pointed at Lin Shuo and said with a smile, "Little bastard, you almost fell for me. You want to see what I kept at the bottom of the box, don't you?"
Lin Shuo slapped his thigh with a regretful expression: "It was almost."
"Oh!" Zhou Lingshi also sat up from the cigarette blanket.
"Old Lin, you are really good." Wei Xingshan's tent was opened, and the voice came from inside.
"Uncle is still smart." Anne simply walked out of the tent and sat next to Lin Shuo, "It's just that uncle, your way of prescribing medicine seems to be taught by my mentor back then, right? I can do it too, how could you know how to do it?" Woolen cloth?"
"Aren't you all asleep yet?" Cao Yusheng looked around, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"We are not stupid. You usually lie down early, but you have been holding back tonight. You must have something to tell Lao Lin. How can we be willing to sleep." Wei Xingshan laughed in the tent, "Besides, the altitude here is High, my ears are uncomfortable, and I can’t sleep.”
"Uncle." Anne said at this time, "I understand your feelings, but the white-headed flying corpse actually has nothing to do with you.
The grievances in the door are passed down from generation to generation, and you don't have to be responsible for what your ancestors did.
When it comes to things about the ancestors of the six families, not all of them are glorious.
Isn't the hooked snake preserved by my ancestors
I, Su Nianqiu, inherit the will of my ancestors and protect the glory of my ancestors, but the times are different, and I don't necessarily agree with the way my ancestors did things back then.
Do you think this is the truth? "
"You girl, you can really talk." Cao Yusheng's expression relaxed a lot.
"Fourth Uncle, you think it's difficult to do business now, and you want to take risks for us. This is the style of the elders, and I admire it very much." Lin Shuo said at this time, "But we are a small team entering the mountain, and you have to trust the team even more. Even though they are not ready yet, how can they become sharp without being tempered? Don't worry, I will watch them, no matter how hard they are sharpened, they will not be afraid, and they will not be broken."
Cao Yusheng was stunned for a while, then sighed: "Fine, anyway, even if I, Cao Yusheng, risk my life this time, I will keep you little ones."
"Then why do you protect it?" Lin Shuo said while staring at the box.
"Are you here again?" Cao Yusheng rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, it's at this juncture, so don't hide it, show it." Lin Shuo said with a smile, "Sooner or later, it's better to let us open our eyes first."
Upon hearing Lin Shuo's words, all the people in the tents came out.
"Okay." Cao Yusheng looked at the crowd and said, "Actually, I didn't want to hide it at first, but after seeing that you are a little concerned about what's in it, I'm not happy to reveal it so soon.
The thing in my box doesn't really matter if it's bright or not, because it's not a dark hidden weapon, but a majestic bright weapon.
This thing is called 'Dragon Bone Armor'. "
After saying these words, Cao Yusheng patted the handle on the side of the wooden box.
The box made a "click, click" sound, and it bloomed like a lotus flower.
The sides go down and the middle goes up.
A set of black bone armor appeared in front of everyone.
At first glance, I thought it was an animal bone that was stained black, but if you look closely, you will find that this thing is not made of bones.
The material is metal, sprayed with black matte paint.
In addition to the shape of the skeleton, there are also small hydraulic pipes inside the skeleton, which seem to have a booster function.
Others were a little confused when they saw this thing, but Wei Xingshan recognized it immediately.
This is the exoskeleton. There are already experimental projects in this area in the army, which can greatly improve the combat capability of individual soldiers.
However, the current experimental products in the army are very bulky, consume a lot of energy, have limited combat continuity, and are still working on battery technology.
Wei Xingshan didn't know how the energy consumption of the exoskeleton in Cao Yusheng's hands was.
But as far as the weight is less than two hundred catties, this shows some problems, at least it is light.
Lightweight is not only convenient for transportation, but also means that the drive itself consumes less energy.
Moreover, this whole set of exoskeleton has a strange beauty, and its appearance is very beautiful, which is even more powerful.
There is a saying in terms of weapons and equipment, which is called appearance is combat effectiveness.
It's not that you can really use your appearance to kill enemies, but since you can consider the design aesthetics, then this weapon shows that it is already very mature in technology, so there is room for consideration of aesthetics.
Wei Xingshan is very knowledgeable in this area, and he was shocked when he saw this set.
Although such a thing may not look small, but the technical content inside is very high, which means that the related research and development costs must be astronomical.
The current Patriarch of the Cao family, Wei Xingshan, thought that he had followed the path of an ancient traditional institution, but he did not expect that this uncle had a broad vision and a forward vision.
Arming yourself with technology, this way suits Wei Xingshan's appetite.
Wei Xingshan felt that he had to spend more time with the mastermind in the future, maybe he could also get one or two similar good things.
…
"This thing is a set of exoskeleton armor, the eighth generation." Only Cao Yusheng said, "I said just now that what the leader can do, I can do it with a little effort. This is not empty talk.
When designing this set of exoskeleton, Lin Leshan, the old leader, passed on half of the set of the Lin family's method of cultivating strength to me.
The practice method was not taught, but the practice method was taught to me.
So the booster system of this set of battle armor is all based on the Lin family's way. When I put on this set of things, I can have the appearance of the old leader when I do it.
Before going out this time, in order to deal with the white-headed flying corpse, I also installed a sound wave jamming system, but this thing consumes too much energy and cannot be turned on all the time.
Once you are attacked by the sound wave of the flying corpse, you will gather together and stay within three meters of me. It can still last for about two minutes. "
"This will help a lot." Lin Shuo nodded.
"Yes." Zhou Shi also said, "It's great to be able to prevent sound waves."
"Hey, the sound wave interference system is a targeted addition, and it has no technical content." Cao Yusheng laughed, "The really powerful part of this armor is the weapon system, which is also my favorite work. It has a total of... "
"Good stuff." Lin Shuo interrupted suddenly, "It's expensive, right?"
"This is most of my Cao Yusheng's net worth and all my contacts in this life." Cao Yusheng said.
"The borrowing from the Cao family is for you. It's the ultimate." Lin Shuo nodded, then waved his hands around, "Okay, let's all go to sleep."
"I haven't finished introducing the weapon system yet..." Cao Yusheng was showing off his proudest work in his life, and now he still has something to say.
Lin Shuo waved his hand at Cao Yusheng, and whispered persuasion: "You, please keep some secrets for your son Cao Mian."
"This kid is not interested in this thing." Cao Yusheng said, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Is that so, how about I persuade him later?" Lin Shuo said, "I have this ability today, which is the result of 20 years of hard work. Your set of keel armor, as long as you learn how to operate it, you can finish it in two days." There are only seven or eight points, why not?"
"Hey, leader, you've said this to my heart, you have to help me persuade your cousin."
"OK."
…
