Chapter 126: The Trap (I)
The jungle is even more difficult to walk after the rainstorm, and in many places the waterways that have appeared temporarily due to the heavy rain have blocked the intended route, and the normally dry gullies and streams are full of energy and tirelessly rushing, while the slippery ground makes it difficult to walk. Wang Xingguo and a few people can adapt to such a situation, but Kerry fell step by step at this time, and almost fell into a clay figure, and Sharjah Jean was no better, since he had already asked Chen Badai to take care of Mr. Min, he had to carry the heavy Rambo gun by himself, panting along the way, and changed his left shoulder to his right shoulder.
Wang Xingguo needs to use the waterway to cover his tracks, and he has reason to believe that since the other party can use the cover of the jungle and the rainstorm to investigate himself so closely, they must also be masters of jungle tracking, and it is difficult to leave no traces in the jungle, but the other party actually did it. Wang Xingguo knew that no one in his team could do anything but leave no trace in the jungle, and Wang Xingguo had to try his best to recover the disadvantage.
The rainstorm was actually an excellent sneak attack opportunity for the other party, but they gave up this opportunity, and Wang Xingguo didn't know about them...... Maybe it's their true intentions, but in any case, it's never a good thing to be stalked. Although the torrential rain caused trouble for the journey, in the same way, the use of those sudden waterways can also cover up the traces of action, at least partially, but these tricks cannot be hidden for too long in front of the master of the tracker, and if you do not find out who is tracking you, the days ahead will never be peaceful, and these mysterious trackers are like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any time.
Wang Xingguo planned to use the waterway to cover up his tracks, and then buy himself two or three hours. During this time, he would make a trap, and he believed that whoever stepped into this trap would be able to catch him, so he ignored the complaints of Shargarjan and others, and let them cross the rapids several times, and even crossed the same waterway several times in the rapids, in order to confuse his opponents and buy time.
Wang Xingguo...... We seem to have been going in circles......" After crossing a rapid, Xia Ruobing finally couldn't help but speak, if he wanted to move towards the goal, this direction was obviously wrong.
"Yes, I'm taking you around in circles." Wang Xingguo said.
"But in the jungle, it's dangerous to go around in circles." Xia Ruobing said worriedly, it has been several hours since departure, and it is about to get dark, what happened last night still makes Xia Ruobing feel uneasy, who knows what will happen tonight.
"We're definitely going to be tracked in a straight line, and going around in circles to confuse our opponents." Wang Xingguo said, looking at the surrounding environment, it was not far from the place where he wanted to set a trap.
"What? You mean, the other side is also a cannibal. Xia Ruobing shuddered.
"I don't know...... But they are very well adapted to this jungle. Wang Xingguo was reluctant to jump to conclusions, although he felt that this was the most likely answer.
"Impossible...... According to the records, there could not have been cannibals in this forest......" Sharjah objected, thinking that the account could not be wrong.
"Hmm...... And the expedition that was chased into the jungle just disappeared out of thin air? Wang Xingguo asked rhetorically.
"Impossible...... Possible...... It may be that they are lost...... "Perhaps it was the cannibal accounts that left a psychological shadow on Sharjah Jean, who preferred to believe that there were elves in this forest...... Even the ghosts don't want to believe that cannibals are active in this.
"Maybe it's the Predator......" Chen Badai interjected, teasing, "It's not that the Predator hunts heads in the hottest years, and only hunts strong men, it just so happens that this year is also an El Niño year, the hottest year......"
"You mean, we're playing hide and seek with aliens?" I don't know if Sharjah Jean burned out his brain because of fatigue or too hot, but he didn't hear Chen Badai's ridiculous words.
"Look...... Kerry saw the eyes twice, Wang Xingguo was chasing a shadow, but he didn't find anything, can't the Predator be invisible? It's completely in line with ......" Chen Badai was just halfway through his words, and seeing Xia Ruobing glaring at him with wide eyes, he had to laugh dryly, "Ah...... Ha ha...... I'm talking nonsense, too. ”
"Who knows, the universe is so big, why do we believe that only the earth has intelligent beings?" Kerry seems to have recovered now, giving Chen Badai a favor.
"It's just that...... The universe is so big, we haven't even figured out the earth, where can we figure out if there is a Predator...... Maybe someone else doesn't call it a Predator, but a hunter? "Chen Badai will shine when he gives a little sunshine, and someone will help him more energetically, anyway, he will be idle all the way, and he can also liven up the atmosphere when he talks.
"The land under our feet now, hundreds of millions of years ago, was floating in a corner of the Indian Ocean, but who would have imagined that it would be thousands of kilometers away from its birthplace today." Kerry said with a shrug.
"Doesn't the plate movement theory already explain this problem?" Xia Ruobing is also an expert in geology, although she does not primarily study plate migration.
"Hmph...... The theory of plate movement is just a fig leaf concocted by some people to deceive the public in disregard of the facts. Kerry sneered.
Hearing Kerry's words, Xia Ruobing was surprised. As a scientific research, it needs to be supported by evidence, even if it is a hypothesis, it needs to have a certain amount of evidence, and as a scientific researcher, Kerry's words can already be described as a great rebellion.
"The theory of plate movement seems to be correct, but it does not explain a situation, when did the plate start to move, how to explain the problem of plate acceleration? No, I'm only partially in agreement with the plate movement theory, but I believe there are other reasons. Kerry said this, looking a little excited, coughing violently, he looked down on those traditional scientists, thought that he was the one who subverted the tradition, but unfortunately no one appreciated his talent, and could only rely on the podium of the third-rate university to sell his theories, and read the bullshit paleographic life for Dick.
"Relax...... Just relax...... Hehe, don't be so excited......" Chen Badai patted him on the back with concern, which made him feel at ease.
This kind of scientific argument is often inconclusive, and this kind of argument is meaningless at this time, whether the island called Tinianti was separated from a certain continent to the middle of the ocean according to the plate theory or the cake crumbs that fell when some mysterious force cut the cake were left in the middle of the ocean, the most realistic threat is that they are still being tracked, and it is almost dark, Wang Xingguo must make sure to get to that suitable place before it gets dark to make an ingenious trap, Once this question is understood and the island of Tinian is left alive, everyone will have time to debate whether the theory of plate movement is correct or not.
"Let's go, we're going to pick things up." Wang Xingguo interrupted everyone's interest in arguing and waved his hand to urge.
"Hey...... Dog, if it's really the Predator who is tracking us, will you be able to beat him? Chen Badai just talked about the topic with some interest, and he didn't want to end it so quickly.
"If it's really a Predator, my chances of survival are hundreds of times higher than yours, so you might as well consider whether you can beat him." Wang Xingguo glanced at him and said.
"Hey...... There is no sense of humor......" Chen Badai raised a middle finger at Wang Xingguo's back.
Xia Ruobing surpassed Chen Badai to keep up with Wang Xingguo, Chen Badai couldn't stop the car, and said to Xia Ruobing: "Hey, Xia Ruobing, I heard that Predators don't kill women, sometimes it's true, it's good to be a woman......"
Xia Ruobing didn't hear it, and didn't pay attention to him at all, Chen Badai felt a little embarrassed, at this time, Kerry seemed to be a person who could talk, he patted Kerry on the shoulder: "Crying dog, don't worry, the Predator doesn't kill weak men...... Belch...... I've heard that Predators like to skin people and turn them upside down, and they like to use human skulls as decorations...... Hanging on his body, on the building......" Chen Badai babbled, not noticing that Kerry's face was getting more and more ugly, and he was about to throw up......
"Shhhhh......h ”
"Shut up!" Xia Ruobing warned him fiercely.
After Wang Xingguo made a stop gesture, he half-squatted forward, walked behind a tree and raised his gun, staring at the woods in the distance, there seemed to be something flashing there just now, but he didn't see it clearly, could it be that his circle did not confuse the opponent, they took a shortcut and waited for him in front?
After a while, Wang Xingguo sent a signal that the vigilance was lifted, he was sure that just a certain vine was blown by the wind just now, and there was no such strange aura in the jungle, maybe at this time the opponent was still trying to track his traces, and it only needed to drag on for three hours, it would be enough.
