Chapter 11: The First Empty City Plan
The three people who noticed the green smoke quickly and secretly lurked to the corner of the northeast where the green smoke was rising.
On the black-and-ash soil, two corpses lay on their stomachs, covered in blood, next to a tiger's shelf, with its belly almost hollowed out, and next to it was a extinguished bonfire, and the smell of roasted meat could be heard.
Sure enough, someone here had prepared for the barbecue and prepared for battle.
However......
"Number Three: There are only two corpses."
"Number two: There are really only two of them."
The mechanical speech of the two teammates made a sense of panic drill out of the bottom of my heart.
The previous grouping was all in groups of three, and the extra one was added to the team as the fourth person, and there were no groups of two.
Was it the first one who killed two people? And what about the third person?
Or is it ..................
The third person...... Secretly killed these two people and disguised themselves as [dead people]? And then secretly plotting against it?
Damn it......
In fact, all three of them felt that this was unlikely, but ...... The odds are not good and the odds are not the same thing.
If...... That's what it does?!
An assassin hiding in the shadows is the most troublesome!
One can only hope that the body of this man will be found in the nearest place.
They carefully judged, and the three of them unconsciously stepped back a little, and pressed their backs tightly together, the meaning of this action was obvious: no one could leave each other, no matter whether the enemy wanted to attack or their own people wanted to stab the knife, as long as everyone was back to back, it would be very difficult.
The small team of three did not choose to explore the body in the first place, and without even thinking about it, it must have taken away the bullets, that kind of strategic material, no one would let go. There had been a clear battle in this humble camp, with footprints on the trees, trampled grass on the ground, bullets around it, and knife marks on the bark......
This is......
Did there be a meaning of a fierce battle?
The three of them couldn't help but recall the positive suppressive force that X showed at that moment, and the unpredictable speed was really frightening.
The more you investigate, the more you can see the traces that have been cleverly hidden.
For example, you can use fire magic to burn tree trunks and hide the edge of your knife, or you can deliberately make a mess of the land so that you can't find footprints......
No, but it doesn't look like X killed someone, but someone killed, at least repelled X, and then in order to hide himself, he ended up messing up the place.
This......
The three of them discussed quietly, and they had their own opinions and sayings, and in the end, the three of them could only project their eyes on the two corpses, and the three of them were keenly separated, from three directions, like a net, slowly approaching, and everyone made sure that the other party was in their field of vision, so that no matter whether the enemy attacked from behind, or what was wrong with the corpse, they could preserve their strength to the greatest extent.
However, just as they approached the corpse......
"Boom!"
The violent sound was mixed with the scorching flame aura, and the red of the flame quickly engulfed the figures of the three people, and the three of them reacted extremely quickly, each dodging in one direction, holding a gun in their hands, and guarding against the enemy's sneak attack.
Hit the trick!
Surely, the sound of this explosion will attract enemies!
Damn it!
It was calculated!!
The three of them all had this idea, and they didn't dare to show their heads, so they found a nearby place to hide, quietly waiting for the enemy to be exposed......
————————————————
"Ah...... Exploded. ”
About two thousand meters away, Aya Maki suddenly said this.
"Hmm. Then the advantage is even greater. Ignore them. ”
X quietly reminds her that the two of them continue to choose to stealthily sneak in the forest, looking for the location of the enemy.
Why not an ambush?
That's too stupid, the enemy saw the green smoke coming, so he naturally took precautions, and a sneak attack on this thing would only be useful the first time, that is, [Unknown].
The reason why it was successful before was because the first trio used the mimicry magic of the incarnation to mimic something into their own appearance and let him go to [fight the grass and scare the snake], and then the trio was ready to snipe the alarmed snake......
That is, at the beginning, the goal of the three was not to seek the enemy, but to prepare for a counterattack. The fatal difference in this point of view made the three of them careless, ** all destroyed.
And now, when the trio sees Qingyan and the dead man, they must know that there is an enemy ambush here, so their purpose is not to fight back, but to prevent assassination. The focus is different.
It's like a white piece of paper with a black dot on it, some people say it's a black dot and some people say it's white paper, and that's everyone's point of view. When people are too focused on one purpose, they tend to ignore other things.
For example, if someone wants to find a red shirt, then the light blue shirt next to it, the green shirt and the white shirt will be selectively ignored. The focus is different.
Sneak attack on these three people, the success rate is too low.
So, the two took a different approach.
That's the "Suspicious Tactics".
Handing over the tiger meat to Aya Maki to roast, X casually disguised himself near the battlefield.
The purpose of the disguise?
No, there is no purpose.
He was not trying to point the finger at anyone, or to induce the enemy to judge.
Everyone is smart, and both of these methods are too easy to expose [the purpose of the pretender] to make people think that it is a trap, and it is useless.
In this regard, it is not as aimless as X.
Cut the knife casually, and then grill it with a flame.
Break branches and leaves at will, and shoot bullets at will.
These actions do not make any sense.
It is neither a framing nor a misleading judgment.
But it's because it doesn't have a purpose that it makes sense.
Because it's [casual].
The enemy can't figure out why they're doing it.
However, they also know that they are very smart people and will not do meaningless things.
Then these meaningless actions will draw one brain-made [meaning] after another in their minds. That is, it is often said that the brain is replenished.
As a result, they deceive themselves, forcibly put a meaningful label on many meaningless things, and finally scare themselves and become suspicious.
The alliance of those people can never be trusted with each other. Therefore, as long as they are given a little suspicion, the assassins, who will not trust each other in the first place, will be in chaos themselves.
Of course, it doesn't matter if there is no big mess, because X has nothing to lose.
It's like a gamble, you either win or don't lose, what a good deal!
Considering that they would eventually inspect the corpse, X had planted an automaton in the corpse that would explode when a creature approached, and the result was the loud bang.
This is a reminder that the X enemy has arrived and that you need to be more careful.
Now, X has one more advantage. Gained a teammate and gained enough meat to last three days. You must know that an adult has about 2 catties of food a day, and a tiger has an average of 200 catties, so it is too easy to roast more than ten catties of meat from a tiger.
Also, the water source is secured.
Considering the special situation this time, the enemy may be ambushing at the water's edge, X wants to get as little as possible close to the water source, at this time, the blood water can be used as drinking water to replenish water, and the taste is definitely not expected.
In any case, the enemy was already suspicious, and suddenly exploded so short, he definitely didn't dare to chase after him, but was worried that there would be an ambush, and at least there would be a gap of ten minutes for the two X to escape.
Although they don't know about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms now, this strategy is indeed comparable to the empty city plan of Zhuge Kongming, the great military division of China, taking advantage of the enemy's suspicion, so he set up a suspicious formation and led the enemy to retreat. Quite a wise psychological tactic.
The two inadvertently made a military deployment comparable to that of the ancient sages, and they could only sigh at the creativity of human beings.
Taking advantage of this gap, the two continued to crawl forward, searching for the enemy aimlessly.
"It's really amazing...... If they can still think of such a way, they will definitely not dare to chase after them. ”
Aya Maki giggled, X ignored her, and muttered in her heart: What you say sounds good, in fact, you are the one who hides the deepest!
However, if you can use it, you have to use it.
Whether he wanted to admit it or not, in the face of ten enemies, he was indeed a little weak alone.
If the fight is too hasty, the enemy will definitely form a large group of seven or eight people in the end, and there will really be no way to do it at that time. Although Aya Makiri can't be counted on, she ...... A little more is better than one more enemy.
What will happen?
X calmly deduces what might happen, calculating his chances of victory. The conclusion is ...... It's difficult......
The further back you go, the more difficult it becomes......
Brothers are against the wall, and they are insulted outside. These people have their own personal contradictions, but before their personal contradictions, they first have their own great enemy...... It is his own strength that attracts the covetousness of the enemy......
"Now, speaking of which, why did you win?"
Suddenly, Aya Maki asked without a beginning.
“?”
X looked back at her strangely, this person's question is strange, of course because he wants to live?
Why the doubts? Is there anyone who wants to die?
"No, I mean, what do you want to do to the end?"
"I don't know."
X said calmly.
He really didn't know.
One of the great drawbacks of realists is that they only think about what should be considered now, and what is going on in the future.
The reality of X is, think about how to live first, what to do with it?
I don't know.
It's better than dead.
When it's dead, there's nothing.
X hasn't noticed yet, he has a typical contradiction in thinking.
He has no desires, just because he has been taught how to fight, and he exercises in order to relieve emptiness.
However, if it is really to relieve emptiness, isn't death the best relief?
If you live, it will inevitably be even more empty and meaningless.
The result is a cycle of emptiness.
He hasn't realized that he is not the kind of person he thinks, who has no desires and no desires.
Aya Kiri, who is trying to guide him and make him understand his own desires.
The desire to live.
Such......
to accomplish her goal.
