Section 314 Truth 1
There was no reaction at all in that pothole.
It's been a long time since Lu Wu went in, long enough to make you believe that something special must have happened inside.
The black entrance of the cave, like the mouth of a giant beast, was never heard from after swallowing Lu Wu.
Amber couldn't be sure what was going on inside.
As mentioned earlier, the abilities of a warlock, especially the magic of the Fourth Law, can make a person superhuman on the surface, but in fact they are not beyond the innate limitations of human beings. This power is exerted to the extreme, even a small dot hundreds of meters away, or the sound of human heartbeats and blood flow within a hundred meters, but the premise must be that there are no obstacles and a quiet environment.
It's easy to understand that the sounds of the forest – especially the ubiquitous sounds of wind, leaves, and insects – are far louder than the sound of human heartbeats and blood flowing.
The only reason why Lu Wu was silent was that he was ambushed by the enemy. As mentioned earlier, although the magic ring is easy to use, it is completely unrivaled by a real warlock. Lu Wu's skills could not compete with the warlocks who had been specially trained for a long time. In the case of a surprise attack, it is normal to be put down by a blow without resistance.
If that's the case then it's fine, at least you know what's going on. The problem is that now they don't even know what's going on - the Warlock's innate abilities tell Amber that there aren't any magical remnants flowing in the cavern. If there were, it was at least a day ago.
If it is on the tile song, then Amber may be able to question whether she is wrong. But in the "clean" environment of the planet, it is easy to determine this.
Amber knew very well that it would not be difficult to kill Lu Wu. However, killing Lu Wu without any signs, that is, without cries for help and screams, no movement, and no smell of blood, then even a strong warlock would not be able to do it. At least not in a hurry.
The short amount of time just now was enough for her to get the suspended mass in the air down. Contrary to Lu Wu's initial prediction, this was not a balloon, but a Kong Ming lantern, an unnamed jellyfish-like gelatinous thing with a built-in energy source that could steadily heat the air. It's not technologically high-tech, that is, it's a little better than a balloon.
It is very troublesome for a normal warlock to climb such a high altitude to retrieve objects in the air, and it is easy to be exposed in the air. But Amber is different. She can be confident that the danger of her exposure is minimal.
This means that if the Moon Warlock didn't see it just now, then the chances of seeing it now are infinitely small.
After waiting a little longer, Amber crept into a position closer to the cave.
Even if you are disturbed by various noises, if you are close enough, you can hear something. In fact, it was easier than expected. When approaching the entrance of the cave (not entering, but only approaching the edge), I heard Lu Wu's breathing. Or rather, very slight snoring.
Don't ask why Amber can tell that it is Lu Wu's voice, it can only be said that they have been together for a long time, even if they don't show it on the surface, they actually care silently.
Asleep?
It was not what I expected, in fact, everything was completely different from what was planned. Sure enough, is it some kind of defense mechanism? After all, it is a precious machine, and if it falls into the hands of someone else, or is simply destroyed by some beast, it will be very troublesome. It makes sense to have a defense mechanism that isn't lethal.
If he could, Amber's best between, with his own power, would cause a small landslide and bury the entire crater with a lot of dirt and rock. Once you're sure that the Moon Warlock can't find it, find a way to find someone to help. There are many people and they are prepared for this situation, and hypnosis (no matter what you rely on to hypnosis) is actually nothing to be afraid of.
But in the face of the threat of a Stygian Warlock from nowhere, this certainly won't work.
And most importantly, Zhang Yao is still here. Although it was the first time to meet Zhang Yao, Amber had already felt from Lu Wu's words and deeds that this sister was still very important to him.
It's a cultural and customary difference. For example, for the warlocks who had already created artificial wombs and never worried about the population problem, the population problem was never a big problem. Even the family structure or something, they have long been too lazy to spend effort to maintain it. On the contrary, earthlings must still rely on the natural physiological ability of human beings to reproduce, so this aspect will be relatively special attention.
If Lu Wu is not in danger for the time being, and the Stygian Warlock will not find him in a short time, then the correct thing to do is to let Zhang Yao leave first.
She neither knew how to fight, nor lacked the necessary vigilance, nor was she physically or mentally trained. No matter what she was facing, she was basically a burden rather than a help. Not only that, even if she helps, the after-effects are terrible. Normally, if a person sees some kind of paranormal phenomenon that cannot be explained by existing knowledge, then he will do something completely unpredictable. A smart person can do something stupid, and a stupid person can do something smart.
If Lu Wu was to do the same, he would definitely do the same.
Before, Zhang Yao had been driven by Lu Wu to a small clearing a little farther away. Although Lu Wu gave an order, Zhang Yao actually didn't have any special sense of crisis. After all, this kind of forest, as mentioned earlier, as long as there are no poisonous insects and beasts, there is basically no danger. She'd been wandering around this place all night. The thing that can really be called dangerous here is getting lost.
"Amber, where's my brother?" Zhang Yao asked when she saw Amber.
Amber casually walked over as she sent a message to Thomas on her phone.
"Amber, what are you doing?"
"Contact the helicopter to come and pick you up. Amber replied. Thomas has a helicopter over there, and it's on standby. It can only be said that although the operation was very dangerous, the logistics were still perfect. Of course, the helicopter can not only take Zhang Yao away, but also bring back reinforcements.
The combat power of the earth's professional soldiers is very worrying in the eyes of the warlock. But in the end, it is a mercenary who takes people's money and people to eliminate disasters, even if it is based on the moral standards of earthlings, it is a matter of course to die in battle for the sake of the employer's requirements. In addition, their weapons do injure Warlocks, at least most of them, although this is only a possibility. Amber had already known about a small team, nearly twenty mercenaries, who had been wiped out by the Stygian. This result is not surprising at all.
However, even in the face of the overwhelming power of the warlocks, the number of twenty people was raised to two hundred, or even two thousand...... It may not be that simple. Ants bite more elephants, and quantity can overwhelm quality. This is why although the First Lawyer has extremely strong power, the best survival strategy in the other world is still to be a coward, and it is best to find a native as an alliance to form a mutually beneficial relationship.
That's the difference between a professional and a non-professional. For example, right now, the Stygian Warlock is alone, lacking in skills, and full of loopholes. There have even been cases where artifacts have been lost. And Amber can get the full support of the earthlings.
The two of them waited quietly in the woods.
Zhang Yao faintly felt that something was not right, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Lu Wu only told her "a very important thing" before, but after thinking about it carefully, she already understood what Lu Wu was here for.
There is no doubt that Lu Wu came to search for clues to the mutation of jungle creatures. She had watched Lu Wu set off from the expedition camp (this matter is not a secret, even the driver knew about the expedition team). As for Lu Wu's participation in the scientific expedition team, it is not surprising at all. He already had that particular hobby.
If you have money, you can naturally satisfy your hobbies.
And, of course, the tragic situation of that town. But to be honest, Zhang Yao is trying her best not to think about that matter now, and even if she really thinks about it, she feels nothing after calming down. It's likely that there's a local war. After all, before she came here, she more or less knew that this was an area controlled by warlords, and even the driver who brought her to the town also mentioned the turmoil here in the past few years, and it is said that there were several battles, and there were many examples of routs, robberies and killings.
This kind of warlord power is not as particular as the regular army, and it has not signed any international conventions, and it is really urgent to use anything such as poison gas, biological, chemical and biological weapons.
As an ordinary person, she is able to accept the logic of "I was just unlucky to get to the battlefield", and of course the same is true for Lu Wu. So Lu Wu was supposed to just come to the town to purchase or inquire, but he encountered this kind of accident, right?
In addition, although Lu Wu came here a little strangely, and said something like "if there is any situation, go that way". But the fact that he was carrying amber showed that it was not a highly dangerous operation. After all, although the source of mutation has a certain danger, it is not an extraordinary danger.
Nowadays, when people talk about mutations, their first reaction is nuclear radiation, or chemical agents, which are very dangerous, but they do not die if they are touched. Zhang Yao had heard that it seemed that alien meteorites had a similar effect. In short, whatever it is, whether it's nuclear waste or a meteorite, as long as you prepare in advance and deal with it carefully, it is not life-threatening. It's a feeling similar to mountaineering – everyone knows that mountaineering is a highly dangerous sport, and that there are a lot of professional and non-professional athletes who die on the way, but no one thinks that mountaineering is death. When a loved one leaves home to climb the mountain, at least you won't say goodbye in tears.
Therefore, Zhang Yao was not particularly nervous or afraid in her heart. Even if Lu Wuyi didn't come back at the time, she didn't expect the concept of "Lu Wu's life is in danger" to come up.
She already knew that Amber and Lu Wu had a kind of mobile phone that they didn't use often to contact each other, so now Lu Wu should have discovered something, and she couldn't get out for the time being. Of course, Lu Wu and Amber may have carried some kind of equipment to protect themselves, but she didn't bring anything, which is why Amber wanted to let her go first.
Of course, from common sense, if Lu Wu's life is in danger, Amber can't be so calm.
Her mind turned to Amber. Speaking of which, there are not many opportunities for such two people to get along, and it will be the same in the future.
"By the way, Sister Amber," Zhang Yao rolled her eyes. "How many years were you born?"
Speaking of different races, judging age is a troublesome thing. Foreigners always feel that Chinese are younger than their age, and Chinese always feel that their appearance is older (older) than their age.
Although it is basically possible to believe that Amber is not a student at school, Amber ...... Are they classmates from the same school? Did they only know each other after graduation, or did they get their hands on it in college? Speaking of which, Lu Wu also went home during the holidays, and he couldn't see that he had the talent to pick up girls at all! Moreover, the most important thing is that Zhang Yao judged from the information about the W City Iron and Steel Plant and Ren Jian's investment company collected on the Internet, and the company was almost established after Lu Wuyi graduated. Normally, college students with no capital and no experience can create such a large asset in just a few years...... That's just a myth and doesn't fit the normal logic of our society.
Could it be because of amber?
At first, it was just a flash of inspiration in my mind, but then when I think about it, the more I think about it, the more believable it becomes. In other words, only a strong external force can join in this situation.
