Chapter 143: No Signal (Part II)
"Find the signal...... Kerry, how big is this small area you are talking about? Wang Xingguo asked.
"It's not too much......," Kerry said, "in that direction...... Not...... There will be a signal in about ten kilometers. ”
"Let's get to the signal." Mr. Min said in line with Kerry's words.
"Over there?!" Chen Badai shouted, "You're crazy, it's a place close to cannibals. ”
"Hmm...... We could continue to the shoreline, but this area is volcanic, you know......" Kerry shrugged.
Wang Xingguo looked at Mr. Min, who nodded slightly, indicating that he believed Kerry.
Wang Xingguo has to make a decision, but this decision is very difficult to make, he believes that the cannibals just haven't kept up for the time being, with their hunting ability and familiarity with the terrain, if they can't catch up with the open area near the coastline to establish a defensive line, staying in the jungle will not be able to resist the attack of the cannibals! But if you turn in the direction of the cannibals, who can guarantee that you won't run into them? Wang Xingguo has already seen the camouflage ability of these cannibals, and he believes that as long as they are willing, they can disguise themselves so that you can't see them when you walk in front of them! But they couldn't communicate with the outside world, and even if they established a defensive line, with the pitiful bullets at hand, once the cannibals played their numerical advantage, they wouldn't be able to resist for long.
"Are you sure there's going to be a signal over there?" Wang Xingguo was not at ease, and asked Kerry again.
"Basically determined...... Who knows, if we don't return to where we went to the island, there must be a signal in that area. Kerry said.
It is certainly unrealistic to return to the place on the island, and there are not many options left for Wang Xingguo now, either rush directly to the coastline and set up a distress signal station, and the seaplane will definitely see the fireworks signal for help when it flies at the appointed time, but the cannibals will arrive before the rescue plane. Either find a place with a signal and notify the outside world, but then you risk encountering cannibals.
"Give me the satellite phone, you continue to go to the high places, and when you reach the high places, disguise yourself and wait, no matter what, don't have any conflicts with the cannibals...... Hide and wait for me. Wang Xingguo said that no one dragged him down when he acted alone, and the speed would be much faster, and Wang Xingguo felt that he could find a place with a signal before 2 o'clock.
"No......" Krussell denied Wang Xingguo's decision, "We can't disperse, Wang, we don't have any fighting ability, once we are discovered by the cannibals, we are almost unable to resist, only you can deter them......"
"But...... If there are many people, the speed of progress will be very slow......" Wang Xingguo said.
"It doesn't slow down...... I promise! Crussell said he felt like he was going to win.
The two were a little deadlocked, and Chen Badai was a little anxious: "No matter what, can you decide quickly, I already smell the smell of cannibals......"
"Wang Xingguo, I am the team leader, I have the final decision, we must act collectively, in case something happens to you, at least we can take care of it." "We're running out of time, should we continue arguing here, or should we hurry up and find a signal?" ”
"Okay......" Wang Xingguo had to compromise.
"In order to increase the speed, Wang, you take the lead, poor eight generations, Sherpa assists, I will take everyone to follow." Crussell said, waving his hand and urging, "Hurry, move, move...... Let's all move! ”
"Why do you always have accidents?" Chen Badai muttered.
Xia Ruobing caught up with Wang Xingguo, who was at the forefront, and said in a low voice: "Do you think it's a little strange?" ”
"You mean the signal?" Wang Xingguo asked.
"Yes...... I don't think so, it's volcanic terrain here, but I don't think it will affect communications. Xia Ruobing whispered, "Crussell seems to be deliberately separating the two teams. ”
"In any case, the most important thing is to communicate with the outside world as soon as possible." Wang Xingguo felt that even if Crussell had other ideas, he would not joke with his life.
"No...... Wang Xingguo...... There are some things that you still have to trust your instincts. Xia Ruobing said.
……
"Is it true that there is no signal?" Sharjah Jean asked suddenly.
"No...... A little magic trick ......" Crussell smiled gloomily, and spread his hand, which was the signal amplification ring on the base of the antenna, and removed this thing, unless there was a satellite overhead, the signal would be extremely poor.
"Crussell...... I hope everything you say will come true, or I'll screw your head off and use it as a wine glass! Sharjah said hatefully.
"No, no, no...... You will thank me...... Well, think about your status......" Crossell laughed, unconcerned about the threat from Sharjah.
"Hmph...... If I die because of this, can my status bring me back from the dead? Sharjah sneered, and for some reason, he suddenly had some doubts about Kerry's words.
"Sharjah Jean, think of your treasure, and the status you are about to rise." Mr. Min said in a low voice.
"Min, you're thinking about your skull crown, aren't you?" Sharjah Jean sneered.
……
Tchaikov played with the bottle in his hand idly, his eyes dazed as the pure vodka shook in the bottle, he had been waiting, and if the expedition really wanted to leave, he would have to come up with his own backup plan - to intercept them on the coastline and "politely" make them hand over the information they wanted.
But Tchaikov didn't want to do that yet, it would mean that the gunfire would disturb the cannibals, and then Tchaikov would have to think about the headache of how to escape from the cannibals and get the skull crown he wanted.
The expedition was the best bait right now, but Tchaikov had to make sure that the bait wasn't swallowed by the cannibals unless they found the treasure themselves.
"Tchaikov, they escaped from the gorge and turned, and the cannibals seem to have been thrown off." The scout in front saw the expedition and reported in the headset.
“OK! Let's go! Min, you really didn't disappoint me. Tchaikov stuffed the bottle into the ammo bag.
……
After walking for more than an hour, Kerry didn't feel tired at all at this time for his research, Wang Xingguo reminded Crossell a few times to find a signal, Crossell didn't shirk it, Wang Xingguo had no choice, there were originally three satellite phones and a number of batteries, which was enough for them to support their communication needs for more than a month, but after being attacked by cannibals, the spare satellite phone was in Chen Badai's backpack, and Sharjah's satellite phone was also abandoned when it was chased, and it should have become a trophy of cannibals at this time, Now the only thing that can communicate with the outside world is the "problematic" satellite phone that Crossell has at hand, but in the past more than an hour, there has been no trace of the cannibals, and Wang Xingguo had to comfort himself by saying that the cannibals should all be squatting at the mouth of the canyon, without considering that they would find a way to escape from the canyon from somewhere else.
But rigor and rationality are Wang Xingguo's strengths, although sometimes in the eyes of some people, he is "overly nervous", Wang Xingguo believes in one thing: if you think you will make a mistake but let it go, it will definitely go wrong, and it is a big mistake! So Wang Xingguo considered any detail, he now hopes to find a signal quickly, establish communication with the outside world, and then turn to rush to the coastline immediately, use the open space of the coastline to establish a defensive line, give full play to his firepower and range advantage, if the rescue can be set off immediately, Wang Xingguo believes that he does not need to conflict with the cannibals, he can evacuate safely, as for those studies - since they can come once, they can come a second time in the future...... Well, if there is a second time, it must be planned in detail and every detail considered......
This often happens when working with non-professional people, especially non-professional people who have the right to decide, but Wang Xingguo's job is like this, and he must deal with such people, looking for a delicate balance between professionalism and customer needs, but now any accident may break this balance, which is also what Wang Xingguo is worried about.
Of course, Xia Ruobing knew what Wang Xingguo was worried about, from the moment he went to the island, Xia Ruobing had some inexplicable premonitions, as strange things happened, the appearance of cannibals, the cemetery that did not belong to any civilization, the unintelligible words that Kerry chanted, the pirate treasure that Sharjah made him forget, Mr. Min and the Loulan crown that he cared about the most, and the remnants of Lu Wen that appeared here inexplicably, all of this is incredible, but the curiosity in the human heart will prevail over the judgment of risk, But who can say for sure? Curiosity is also the driving force of human progress, but it comes at great risk for individuals! Xia Ruobing was a little confused now, she didn't know if she should take this risk......
"Kerry, how far is that place you're talking about?" Krussell looked at the time, a little anxious, he couldn't hide it for too long, if it wasn't for the Annasum and Marumazu that Kerry said, sooner or later Wang Xingguo would see through it.
"It must be around here...... It must be around here......" Kerry muttered, a little confused...... The terrain here is the most suitable for the situation.
"Where...... Look somewhere......" Kerry suddenly pointed to a place, and Krusl followed the direction he pointed, looking out through the gap in the jungle, where there was an open field leading to the heights.
"There's a path there!" Kerry said.
"Hmm...... Yes......"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the road to Marumazu......" Kerry affirmed.
"Okay...... Then we'll go there and find the signal! The big stone in Krussell's heart was put down, as long as he found a place, he could find a way to delay time, even if Wang Xingguo knew about his "conspiracy", he could only be helpless!
