Chapter 128: Trap 2 (I)
This terrible scream woke everyone up, the moment Wang Xingguo opened his eyes, he saw a shadow flashing at the edge of the trap, and the traps that triggered the mechanism bounced up one after another, and the ping-pong sound was chaotic, scattering the leaves covering the net all over the sky, and these leaves blocked the view, and at this moment, Wang Xingguo had lost that shadow.
"Everybody report the situation!" The trap has been triggered, Wang Xingguo feels that he will catch something, and now he must first be sure of everyone's safety.
"I'm fine......" After Crusell was awakened, he almost didn't fall off the tree, but fortunately, the rope tied to his body strangled him, and he heard Wang Xingguo's voice and replied loudly.
"I ...... I'm fine......" When Chen Badai was awakened, his body twisted into a very uncomfortable position, this strange scream also woke up Mr. Min, and when he turned around, he slipped from the tree, but fortunately, Chen Badai quickly grabbed him, at this time Chen Badai was carrying Mr. Min with one hand, and his body was stuck in the branch, and the scene was quite embarrassing.
"We'll be fine too......" Sherpa said at last.
"What's going on...... What's going on? Crusell adjusted his posture and hurriedly lifted the M4 rifle, he only saw several traps triggered, and the nets retracted in mid-air were dangling, but he didn't see any living creatures.
"Did you catch it? Did you catch it? Chen Badai pulled Mr. Min up, and his eyes widened to see that all the nets were put away, but there were many fallen leaves in it, and he didn't know what the situation was.
"I'll go down and see, Crussell, vigilance." Wang Xingguo saw that the net was shaking, but there was no shaking of the prey struggling when he caught it in the past, it was just a natural swing, and he felt that something was not good.
"Be careful." Xia Ruobing pulled Wang Xingguo.
Wang Xingguo turned around and squeezed Xia Ruobing's hand to reassure her, carefully descended from the tree, and slowly leaned towards the nearest net.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes looked at Wang Xingguo without blinking, Wang Xingguo held a gun, carefully moved over step by step, and guarded not far from the net, but the net was shaking unhurriedly, and there were many leaves in the net, but there was no sound, Wang Xingguo took out his knife and cut off the rattan that lifted the net, and the net was scattered on the ground, and there was nothing in it except leaves.
Wang Xingguo felt very strange, it stands to reason that this is impossible, as long as the net he arranged is triggered, it is impossible to catch nothing, but this net scattered on the ground is really nothing.
Wang Xingguo put down the remaining three nets again, and gained nothing, and Crossell, who had been very nervous, put down his gun in discouragement and muttered: "How can this be?" ”
Wang Xingguo was puzzled, the net he had laid could already be counted as heaven and earth, four nets surrounded the shelter, and the sensitive trigger mechanism only needed a little force to trigger, and he looked up at the surrounding woods incredulously, could it be that they sneaked in from the woods and accidentally ran into the rattan of the net? But that's not possible, except for the dexterous small and medium-sized cats, what other animals can move quickly in a tree without making any noise?
Wang Xingguo felt a trace of coolness penetrate his heart, could it really be like Chen Badai's crow's mouth said, it was the Predator who was tracking him? But just now I really saw a shadow quickly hiding in the jungle, it was a semi-upright creature, not too tall, it is estimated that it is only about one and a half meters upright, maybe panicked, he hunched his waist and limbs and danced quickly and hurriedly fled towards the jungle, but it was not a standard quadruped running, the speed was quite fast and flexible, the posture was indeed indecent, he only existed in Wang Xingguo's gaze for two seconds, and then disappeared into the jungle, is there really such an obscene Predator? !
Everyone fell asleep just now, except for hearing a terrible scream, they didn't see anything, looking at the empty net, everyone's mind was blank, fear began to spread in the bottom of their hearts, the most frightening thing is not a strong opponent, but an invisible opponent, because of this, human beings will have so many legends of gods and ghosts, these legends are usually bedtime stories that scare children, but when they are really experiencing the battle with an invisible opponent, the mentality is not as simple as a bedtime story!
Sharjah's hand shaking and muttering, "I told him this is Ghost Land...... I told him he couldn't come in here......"
Wang Xingguo is thinking, he has to make a difficult choice, now he is in a dilemma, there is uncertainty about the way back and evacuation, there is also this problem to move forward, the trap did not catch anything, now Wang Xingguo is not sure whether it is to deter the opponent, or to provoke them even more!
Not making a decision is the worst decision, Wang Xingguo remembered what the instructor said. The plan has failed, and this is not a good defensive position, Wang Xingguo cannot risk betting on deterrence success, if the other party has reinforcements, everyone's situation will be very dangerous. It's not dawn yet, but the night is also its own cover, the location of this place has been exposed, and you have to get out of here anyway.
"Hurry up and get ready, and leave right away." Wang Xingguo felt that there was no need to trace the traces, because if it dragged on for a long time, everyone would be in danger.
"It's not ...... dawn yet," Kerry looked at the dark sky, the moon had disappeared behind the mountains, and visibility in the jungle was low.
"If the other side has reinforcements, we won't be able to wait for dawn." Wang Xingguo said. It wasn't a negotiating tone, and Kerry kept his mouth shut, it was more dangerous to lose his life than to advance in the dark.
Wang Xingguo...... Knapsack...... The backpack is missing...... "When Xia Ruobing was packing up her things, she found that the backpack used as bait was missing, and at first she thought it was taken away by a net, but after searching all the places, the backpack was not found.
Wang Xingguo was startled, he walked quickly to the original position where the backpack was placed, squatted down to investigate, the backpack turned out to be cleverly connected to the trigger mechanism with a rattan, the trigger mechanism was still there, but only half of the rattan connected to the backpack was left, Wang Xingguo looked at this half of the rattan in disbelief, it was cut by a sharp weapon,
Could it be that this thing went to such great lengths, dodged all the triplines, and came here to cut the rattan, just to take the backpack? Wang Xingguo suddenly felt creepy, among all the traps he had made, except for accidental triggering, no one had ever been able to dodge them, and he also calmly took the bait!
If the situation in the first two days was at a disadvantage, but there was still a chance to recover, now Wang Xingguo feels that he has no chance, he can't fight with the invisible enemy, all the maneuvers are to recover the tactical disadvantage, but now the trap he is proud of has been easily cracked, only with the cooperation of other teammates who have no combat training, Wang Xingguo knows that once the other party attacks, he will have no chance of winning.
"Crusell, I need to talk to you." Wang Xingguo said, Krosssell saw Wang Xingguo's solemn expression, knew that something was wrong, and went to the side with Wang Xingguo, and Mr. Min also followed him when he saw this.
"We have to evacuate." Wang Xingguo said in a low voice.
"What?" Crusell couldn't accept this conclusion, they were right next to the door, but it wasn't as simple as going home, gently pushing open the door and walking in.
"How far are we from our destination?" Mr. Min didn't give up and asked.
"It's not far, it's a day's journey at most." Wang Xingguo said calmly.
"Then we still have a chance...... Wang, we have paid too much for this day, don't lose on this critical kick. Hope burned in Krussell's heart, "Maybe it's just some curious jungle creature, maybe you've scared him......"
"No, you don't understand, if you don't know the opponent, you need to find out the opponent's situation, but now I can't figure out the opponent at all, no one can escape from my trap, but he escaped and took Xia Ruobing's backpack with him." Wang Xingguo said: "It is impossible for us to fight against an invisible opponent, the jungle is theirs. ”
"You mean, cannibals?" Although Wang Xingguo didn't say it explicitly, Krussell had already guessed it.
"Yes, I think it's them, they're observing, it's the instinct of the hunters, and once they notice our flaws, they will attack violently." Wang Xingguo emphasized, "We have no chance of winning. ”
"But if we keep up a little longer, we'll be able to make it!" Mr. Min also objected.
"We still have guns!" Krussell didn't want to admit defeat, he thought that he was just going through this island, bypassing the cannibal territory, going to the cave, finding the treasure left by the pirate, taking the Loulan crown, and leaving, but how could things get so complicated?
