Chapter 62 (I) The Cave of Titans
PS: Ask for a monthly pass! From the continuous change, let's give some strength this month......
Standing at the mouth of the forest and looking out, everyone found that they had really returned to the place where they first set out, but this time the gas chamber was on their right side: when they set off, they were facing the front of the gas chamber, which is now on the left side, because the situation was critical at that time, and there was only one road in front of them, so they could only bury their heads and rush forward.
"Ami, map." Gu Huaiyi turned his head and said.
Ami pulled up the map drawn along the way in the computer, and judging from the map, the range of the Gu hunting ground was indeed just a circle, to be exact, it was a "mouth" shape. There were five rounds in total, and now it should be the sixth round, which is the last round in the rules.
"Is the location of the final round the same as the starting point, or is it an open space?" Ji Kefeng stared at the clearing, the door of the gas chamber was closed, and he couldn't feel the existence of people in the surrounding woods.
"It's miserable, this is the rhythm of being forced to die collectively." Tang Shuxing pointed to the surroundings of the clearing, "In this environment, there are one hundred and eighty snipers, machine gunners and the like squatting in the forest, and when we stand in the clearing, we don't need to aim, one bullet can kill two, kill six of us, and only four bullets." β
"Three, okay? You were taught math by your physiology and hygiene teacher, right? He Chenxue muttered, looking towards the jungle on the other side of the clearing, but she didn't dare to take another half step.
"Wrong! It was taught by the political teacher. Tang Shuxing squatted down, looked at Gu Huaiyi and Sarumu Qingyi and asked, "Brother, what should I do next?" To go in or not to go in? β
"Wait!" Gu Huaiyi only said one word briefly.
"I agree." Saruki Kiyochi held the knife in his hand and said, "Since we're back again." The Gu Hunting Ground Committee must have their special arrangements, and they have to do enough to do the show, and in addition, because you saved me earlier, I will give you a JianyΓ¬. β
Saruki Kiyoichi stepped forward as he spoke, came to Tang Shuxing's back, removed his dragon lin blade and scabbard, and then wrapped a cloth belt around Tang Shuxing's waist, and then inserted the dragon lin blade into the belt on his left side, and then said, "Walk for a long time." On the premise that you will not encounter danger, you can save effort by carrying a sword. But when you are active in the battle area, carrying a sword on your back is like looking for death. β
"When you say that, I remember." Tang Shuxing held the hilt of the sword and said, "You never seem to carry a knife on your back?" Why? I watched the movie where you Japanese ninjas are all carrying them. β
Saruki Kiyoshi still has time when he sees it. In order to return the favor. simply explain Tang Shuxing's punishment clearly. He carried his knife behind his back. Then he grabbed the handle of the knife with his backhand, and then made a plugging motion: "You also said that it was a movie, just to look good." It is very inconvenient to draw a knife in this way, a really good knife and a good scabbard will not be so light and can be pulled out, all swords in the world pay attention to the combination of the scabbard and the scabbard, if you turn the scabbard upside down, the handle is towards the ground, the knife can fall out immediately, this kind of knife is just a toy. β
"A long knife is different from a dagger, the dagger is short, the scabbard is wide and easy to insert, and a live buckle can be installed around the handle of the knife, so that the dagger is not easy to fall out. Therefore, if you carry the sword on your back, it is not easy to pull out the rope that does not fix the dead scabbard and the shoulder, back, waist, and chest position, but if you want to fix the dead, the trouble is even greater. Saruki Kiyoichi said, lying on the ground with the knife on his back, crawling forward, and when he climbed over a bush, the wood on the bush hung directly on the hilt of the knife.
Saruki Qingyi looked back at Tang Shuxing and said, "Did you see it?" It's easy to get caught in something, and once you do, it will take you a long time to untie the rope, and whether it's assassination or escape, you'll lose your chance or die in a split second. β
"Oh, I see." Tang Shuxing nodded.
Saruki Kiyoshi got up, took off the long knife, and inserted it back into his waist: "Put it on the waist, this is the habit of the samurai of ancient countries, it is convenient to return the knife, it is too late to draw the knife in case of danger, the scabbard can also block the opponent's attacking weapon, if you are behind it, you don't have that time at all, in addition, in Japanese swordsmanship, the emphasis is on one word - fast!" β
As he spoke, Saruki Qing drew his knife in an instant, and the white light flashed, and the tip of the knife was almost touching the tip of Tang Shuxing's nose.
"Fast is the key to victory." Saruki Kiyoshi shook the long knife in his hand, "Fast, ruthless, accurate!" In addition to these three words, there is no other know-how, we swordsmancers, except for the magic arts, there is no skill in swordsmanship, and the daily practice is only chopping, slashing, and stabbing, alternating different environments to practice. β
Everyone else was also listening, and Ji Kefeng was sitting on one side with great interest, eager to record Saruki Qingyi's words.
Saying that, Saruki Qingyi stepped forward and pointed to the dragon lin blade of Tang Shuxing and said: "Your dragon lin blade is a sword, and the use of the sword should be more flexible than the knife, after all, it is a double edge, so the first thing you have to learn is how to draw the sword, and the next step after drawing the sword is to attack or defend, thinking should be about these, not the tricks of the sword, whether it is swordsmanship or knife skills, it is the same as the most ordinary boxing skills, and the emphasis is also on the combination of virtual and real, so that the other party thinks that he has mastered your routines, but he is in your trap, so that you can kill with one blow!" β
Tang Shuxing nodded, thinking: What this guy said is actually similar to what Tie Xintong said, basically the same, it seems that his own tattered sword book is useless.
"Okay, I'm done with it." Saruki Seiichi walked away from Tang Shuxing, turned around and walked towards the other side of the forest, "Then we really turned back into enemies, remember my words, swords are used for use, not for decoration." β
Tang Shuxing waved goodbye, Gu Huaiyi smiled on the side, and waited for the figure of Sarumu Qingyi to disappear into the jungle, then he said: "He is repaying the favor you saved him, pay it off, and if the fight starts later, he will not show mercy." β
"Then I'd better stay away from him, and shoot him." Tang Shuxing shook his head, "On the small island in the middle of the lake, if it weren't for the small place, plus the cooperation of Master Ji, I'm afraid I would have been hacked to death by him a few times, and I was almost stabbed to the point." β
"Someone's coming out!" He Chenxue, who was holding a telescope, said, pointing to the jungle opposite, and everyone immediately looked up and found that it was the two people of the Landis team, and the two of them changed into black combat uniforms at some point. They also carried weapons in their hands, but they were so clean that they didn't even have a little mud, and at the same time as they walked out, the three members of the nursing home team also appeared at the entrance of the jungle on the left, just staring directly at the gate of the gas chamber, without squinting.
What about Bai Zhanqiu? Now there is one less person, where did Bai Zhanqiu go? When Tang Shuxing was looking around with a telescope, the door of the gas chamber opened, and then Zhu Weidong appeared at the door, arranging his collar. I looked around at them. With a smile on his face, he walked slowly to the center of the clearing, and seemed to be counting as he walked, looking down at his feet from time to time.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Cough. Zhu Weidong lowered his head and fiddled with the amplifier connection switch on his neckline, as if there was something wrong with that thing. Fiddling for a while. He "fed" it twice. After making sure that there was no problem, he stretched out his hands and said, "Everyone." This year's Gu Hunting Ground Tournament is coming to an end, and the time of the competition is no longer important, the important thing is that you give the audience a wonderful competition, and also give yourself the opportunity to enter Shangdu and enjoy endless money in this life......"
Speaking of this, Zhu Weidong paused, turned to look at the Lantis team, and then turned sideways to signal to the three members of the nursing home team, and then faced Tang Shuxing and the others, and took a deep breath: "This is the only competition where there are still five teams left in the sixth round, which is amazing, and what is even more surprising is that three of the teams are complete in number." β
That's not right. Tang Shuxing secretly thought in his heart, the Rantis team, the nursing home team plus his own team, plus the incomplete three teams, there are still He Chenxue's death, the only surviving Saruki Qingyi, and Bai Zhanqiu, who has only one person from beginning to end, how can it be counted as six teams.
Could it be that Bai Zhanqiu is dead!? Tang Shuxing was shocked when he thought of this, and turned his head to look at Gu Huaiyi. Gu Huaiyi glanced at him and continued to look at Zhu Weidong, he also guessed if Bai Zhanqiu had an accident. Although he was born in the Marine Corps, but in the face of the Lantis team and the nursing home team, he is simply meat on the chopping board, and he can only be slaughtered by others, but this guy has always been smart, knowing that if he can't beat it, he will definitely run, and he won't hit it hard.
ββ¦β¦ Maybe some of you here are still wondering, thinking that I miscalculated, there should be another team, and there is still one person who hasn't appeared, right? Zhu Weidong smiled and shook his head, "He has always been, and he is a very cunning guy, he just overestimated himself and underestimated the Gu Hunting Ground, and he was disqualified because he violated the rules, but I still have his life for the time being, so he didn't participate in the last round, it's a pity." β
As he spoke, Zhu Weidong snapped his fingers, and then the high-pole floodlight above the gas chamber rose, rose to a certain height and turned on, directly illuminating the open space where Zhu Weidong was, and then something surprising happened - in the open space where Zhu Weidong was, there were three pieces of ground around him that shook, and then the ground soil became loose, and the ground loosened left and right like the teeth of a wild beast, shrinking to both sides, and finally three huge potholes appeared, forming a "pin" shape in the open space.
Zhu Weidong stood in the open space in the middle of the "product" shape, with a smug face.
At this time, before Tang Shuxing could ask something, Gu Huaiyi couldn't help but take a step forward and said in a lost voice: "This group of madmen in the Gu Hunting Ground...... The rumors are true! β
"What?" He Chenxue also slowly stepped forward, trying to see what the three potholes were.
Ami put down his backpack, stood there shaking his head, and muttered, "Impossible, right? Are the rumors true? β
Ji Kefeng climbed up the tree a few times, struggled to climb to the top, looked at the three huge openings from top to bottom, and the dots of light in them, pressed the intercom and asked Gu Huaiyi: "Gu madman, if I'm not mistaken, this is a missile silo, right?" β
Gu Huaiyi didn't speak, but Ami replied first: "Yes, it's a missile silo." Moreover, it is a replica of the Titan II missile silo built in the Sonoran Desert on the border between the United States and Mexico in the sixties of the last century. And it's still three, don't they know? At such a close distance, if a missile is really launched, the silo will not be able to withstand the vibrations generated by the launch, and if one collapses, the other two will also suffer. β
"The structure of the nuclear bomb silo, how will they know?" He Chenxue didn't understand.
"There are still a lot of nuclear bomb silos in modern times, but their internal structure is similar to what they were left over from the Cold War of the last century, and some of the silos in the Sonoran Desert were abandoned after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and after 2005 they began to be sold to people who were willing to pay for them, and some people began to use them to build houses, hotels, or doomsday survival training rooms and things like that." After Ami finished speaking, he looked at Ji Kefeng who climbed down and said, "Many years ago, it was rumored that Zheng Guoyuan bought nuclear warheads from Russian bad weapons dealers, and also privately contacted North Korea and Iran, hoping that they could provide him with missile technology, but after this kind of intelligence appeared, no one believed it, and the CIA only laughed at this information." β
"Why?" Tang Shuxing pointed to the launch shaft, "The facts are in front of you!" β
"First of all, in those years, Zheng Guoyuan was still being beaten around by the government army, and the encirclement and suppression of the Golden Triangle intensified, even if you can buy nuclear warheads, do you think it is so simple to transport them away?" Ami had a frightened expression on his face, "The devil knows if he got it, in short, it's true that Zheng Guoyuan has the Sam III missile in his hand, but that kind of missile doesn't need something as exaggerated as a silo." β
At this time, Zhu Weidong, who had been silent, spoke again: "Everyone, someone must have seen what these three holes around me are, right?" But don't be afraid, there are no nuclear weapons here, only explosives that cannot be fired, and there is something on top of the explosives, which is chemical weapons in the terminology. β
"What do you mean? Since there is no such thing as missiles, why carry explosives and chemical weapons? Ji Kefeng looked at Zhu Weidong with a telescope.
"Blackmail." Gu Huaiyi said simply, and Ami also nodded in agreement.
"What are you going to blackmail?" He Chenxue asked immediately.
"Neighboring countries." Tang Shuxing understood, "This place is too close to Chiang Rai, and once the chemical weapons inside are detonated, they will definitely affect Thailand, and maybe the power will be greater than we imagined." β
Zhu Weidong looked around: "The sixth round will be held here, and I will stand here from the beginning to the end of the fight, motionless, whoever hurts me will be immediately disqualified from the competition!" Zhu Weidong smiled, raised his head and said, "In addition, there is one more exciting thing I want to announce." β
Zhu Weidong said, pointing to the simple elevator next to the three silos and said, "The entrance to Shangdu is right below here!" The winner will enter Shangdu with the prize money and open the door to a new journey in life! β
As he spoke, Zhu Weidong waved his hand, and a rocket-like thing slowly rose from the silo behind him, Zhu Weidong pointed sideways at the thing and said: "Don't be nervous, this is not a missile or a rocket, it's just a model full of explosives and chemical weapons, but ......what about it?"
Zhu Weidong made a rotating gesture with his hand, and then the model rocket began to rotate slowly, turning the other side towards Tang Shuxing and the others, and at the moment of turning, everyone saw a naked person with his upper body, covered in blood, and covered in bruises hanging from the top of the model rocket with an iron chain.
It was none other than Bai Zhanqiu, who had been declared disqualified from the competition. (To be continued......)
