Chapter 139: Pursuit
"It's really embarrassing that only two women came to participate in such an exciting task, and there were no old men. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Qi Qiqi sighed, she never expected that the result of her shouting in the big market for a long time was that only Lin Qi, who was passing by, didn't know what nerves to join her task team, and no one else reacted.
In the end, she asked, and then she found out that it was these guys' evaluation of this task that was super SSS-level, and they were completely looking for their own death, if Qi Qiqi was not an anomaly, they would all think that the person who took over the task must be crazy.
During this period of time, hundreds of squads in the camp have been attacked, and the casualties have been heavy, and even the high-level leaders can't think of any way, and ordinary people rush out to find death. Especially after the few survivors of the attack of the overwhelming giant mutant beasts in the crowd, others even talked about the color change.
"You're also a member of the Supreme Coalition, so there's no need to follow me on an adventure?" Qi Qiqi asked. In her impression, since the party that day, this iceberg beauty revealed herself to drink, she rarely came out to activities, and as for the power of being a general of the joint committee, she was rarely used, and most of them were represented by streamers. But her status as a descendant of the old general and the resources she brings, as long as she wants, must be a pivotal figure in the entire camp.
"I just don't have anything to do, I want to be in touch with the outside world." Lin Qi sat on the military jeep and said. Her joining caught Qi Qiqi off guard, and her thoughts became complicated for a while, but she couldn't resist the temptation of having a lot of money and having all the tools and guys.
Lin Qi was born in the military, neat and neat, and his skills are also first-class, Qi Qiqi will not refuse here, the two of them took the task, drove the assault car, and looked at some of the information given by the task at random, of course, Lin Qi got more detailed things through his own channels.
The data is generally based on the number of people killed in the attack, the assessment of the number of mutant beast species encountered, and the location of the attack. These places are marked on a large map, the dense red dots are on the north and west sides of the camp, and there are some on the east side, as for the south side, it is the passage between the camp and the outside world, that is, the material transportation channel between the camp and the outpost, this road is heavily guarded, and there are many fortifications, these mutant beasts are really smart, and they have no intention of touching them.
There are some sighting reports at the back of the record, most of the words in them are such "overwhelming", "tens of thousands", "monsters bigger than elephants", Qi Qiqi flipped through and put it down, this task is indeed a bit difficult, but the more challenging things often inspire a certain fighting spirit.
The most recent attack was recorded just three days ago, but the place was a bit far away, and the raid report could not guess the movement of the mutant herd, so the two of them went to the nearest attack point to the camp.
The place was thirty or forty kilometers from the camp, and it was not long before the assault car drove there. The vast grassland is very vast, but the long series of huge and numerous hoof prints are still very clear, and on this huge hoof print, the yellow dead grass has been completely trampled down. A hoof print is a small pit that shows the power of the creature.
From this series of huge hoof prints, it is not difficult for Qi Qiqi to imagine the rushing posture of the beasts and the scene of dust flying over Tiangang at the beginning of the incident, which is really a bit thrilling.
"It should be a horse, and this hoof print is more than twice as large as a normal horse. The stride length is about five meters, and you can guess their size, they are indeed behemoths. Lin Qi measured it with a tape measure on the ground, and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.
"Mutant horses, it's kind of interesting. Take a look around the neighborhood. Qi Qiqi looked at the hoof prints stretching to the hill in the sky, and thought to herself, maybe she could follow the hoof prints. However, three days have passed, and according to the previous activity rules, the movement trajectory of the mutant beast group is crisscrossed, and it is really not a simple matter to find the position from the hoof prints, and meticulous work must be done.
Thinking of this, she asked, "Didn't the Guardians do an official investigation into this?" ”
Lin Qi replied: "I asked before, of course the relevant work has been done, and tactical satellites have been opened, but there is no investigation of things like footprints, probably no one wants to come out to die, the small-scale reconnaissance team is not capable of dealing with such a large-scale raid, the headquarters just got a few drones to track, and the latest situation has not yet come out." ”
"It seems that your efficiency is not high, but it still takes so much time to analyze all kinds of footprints, so let's just try it now, those drones are not reliable."
The jeep left a wisp of smoke and dust in its place, and like a sharp sword, it broke out of its shell and followed its footprints to the end of the world.
The trail stretched for hundreds of kilometers as if there was no end, and the trajectory of the movement was drawn on the map as a red line around the perimeter of the camp.
Qi Qiqi rarely bit the pen stick, and they found other footprints on the way, some were cows, some should be wolves, and some should be mice, in short, they were all on a large scale, and the group was particularly huge.
The footprints are sometimes intertwined, raising the question of whether the herds have passed by the same place or have met here at some point.
"Can you tell when the footprints were left?" Qi Qiqi asked Lin Qi if he could know the time of the footprints, then he would have a clue that he could grasp.
"I can't tell, I'm not an expert on this." Lin Qi said.
Guarding the herd, especially the mutant beast herd, large-scale gathering or even cross-species aggregation is not a good thing, these situations in the camp through the tracking of drones have also sounded the alarm for many high-level leaders, but humans have always been at a passive level, tracking for so long They have not seen the shadow of the mutant herd except for finding footprints.
No one wants to let the mutant beast fight ****, but in this case, there seems to be no other choice but passive defense.
And what Qi Qiqi thought of was that a large-scale herd of beasts gathered together to act was actually no different from a human army, which needed food and grass, that is, a stable source of food, but where did the herd get its food source, the food consumption of mutated creatures is usually larger than that of non-mutated species, and the supply required is not a small amount, what do they do?
"You look at the new hoof prints, they are very clear, they should have been left recently." Lin Qi stopped the car and pointed to the footprints in the winding river.
Qi Qiqi saw that it was the footprints of ordinary cattle and sheep, and then there were some hoof prints of mutated creatures around.
The fact that mutant creatures hunt ordinary creatures, including humans, is already clear information, and just looking at the footprints, it can be seen that ordinary sheep and mutant beasts have encountered, but there are no traces of blood or wreckage.
What the hell is going on, Lin Qi got out of the car and looked around left and right, and an idea kept sprouting in his mind.
"Is it possible that they are feeding in captivity?"
"You mean they're sweeping the perimeter of the camp, keeping animals in captivity as their food source, and then they're going to besiege us?" ”
Yes, she has always felt a little strange in her heart this way, the unattended cattle and sheep on the grassland are all gone, and the whole grassland is so silent, it seems to be a barren world.
The idea of a siege doesn't seem to be complete, first of all, as long as there are no problems with the supply of supplies to the camp, this siege is completely meaningless, but it is impossible to say that the mutants are just doing their own thing on the outskirts of the camp and have no hostile nature.
If you want to really besiege, you must leave the camp without food, but the food source of the camp is currently a large number of reserves, and the other is a steady stream of transportation back from the outside, and a short-term siege cannot make everyone sleepy to death. If they did cut off the camp from the outside, it might have some real effect, but they didn't plan to do so.
"I can't say for sure, maybe we don't think the same way as theirs, what do you see over there?" Lin Qi pointed to a grassy slope.
Qi Qiqi squinted at the past, and there was a flower in front of her, as if she had fallen into an endless abyss, and all kinds of grotesque brilliance were in the world in her head, which was the strange pattern on the stone that Yi Shenglin had taken at the beginning, but this time different lines appeared on a grassy slope. The impact this time was even greater, even if Qi Qiqi had reached the B level, he was still a little uncomfortable.
Damn, she couldn't decipher any meaning behind it except for seeing a bunch of strange looks.
"It's really unlucky, it's this thing again, what the hell is left behind." She muttered to herself.
The current position of the two is already on the edge of the border in the past, Lin Qi gradually exposed a bit of the ability and command ability of a female officer, and after the reality of things diverted the pain and confusion in her heart, she finally returned to a little normal appearance.
"If the mutant beast herd really engulfs the ordinary cattle and sheep, it will definitely not be able to go fast, and we can catch up."
"No, we've been targeted, look at the sky." Qi Qiqi said.
There were several goshawks hovering high in the sky, and Lin Qi couldn't see them without the help of a telescope. "What a troublesome guy, the altitude should be two or three thousand meters away, we should retreat." Lin Qi analyzed the situation and felt that it was a little dangerous, the mutant goshawk has always been the vanguard of the detection of mutant beasts, maybe after a while, a small team of mutant beasts will come over.
"No, I'm just trying to practice my hands, as long as it's not a mutant beast from the brigade, it should be fine." Qi Qiqi pinched the bone, but expressed the opposite opinion.
"What if it's a large group of mutant beasts, we may not be able to escape." Lin Qi was a little worried.
"It's impossible to get critical information without risking it, in short, the mission is meant to be in contact with them, and this is unavoidable."
