Chapter 127: The Trap (II)

"We're building traps here...... We had to do it before dark. After Wang Xingguo saw the place he had pre-selected, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at first he was worried that this place on the map was suitable for setting traps, and the field would change, and when he arrived, he found that there was no difference between this place and the map - a narrow valley led in, and the mountains spread out into a large gentle slope behind the valley, and if the other party tracked him, he could only reach here through the valley. Wang Xingguo deliberately left obvious traces of action in the valley, he planned to build a shelter not far from the exit of the valley, using the shelter as bait, using trees to build several elastic traps around it, weaving nets with rattan, using fallen leaves to cover them, and hiding the traps under the shelter and in the center of the net, no matter which trap the opponent triggers, the branches can bounce up to catch it.

Wang Xingguo did not choose to set up a trap in the canyon, he considered that since the other party was a master of tracking, he must also be very vigilant, and making traps in the canyon was easy to find, and he needed to scare the opponent, rather than let the opponent catch himself with a flaw.

Vines are not a problem here at all, you can get a whole bunch of them by pulling them on any tree, but weaving vines into a net is a technical job. Wang Xingguo asked Krussell, Chen Badai and Sherpa to build a shelter, and the rest of the people collected vines, Wang Xingguo made it into a net and spread it around the shelter, and then everyone worked together to bend a few thick branches as a bow for the elastic trap, Wang Xingguo carefully hammered into a number of wedges made of branches on the ground, leaving only about 5 centimeters exposed on the ground, closed the trigger mechanism of the trap on several wedges, and then carefully hooked the trigger wedge, and covered the net and mechanism with leaves.

"Xia Ruobing, give me your backpack." Wang Xingguo has done a good job of the last mechanism, this organ is next to the shelter, since the other party is curious, it is possible to look at the shelter, Wang Xingguo feels that it is a good choice to put a bait here. He thought of Xia Ruobing's brightly colored hiking bag, which he believed was irresistible for a curious person.

Xia Ruobing handed the backpack to Wang Xingguo, Wang Xingguo took out the contents of the contents, in case of failure, at least Xia Ruobing could leave something, and then he tied a rattan to the backpack straps, and carefully tied the other end to the trigger mechanism, as long as the other party lifted the backpack, it would destroy the balance of the mechanism, and the elastic branch would bounce the net, trapping him and hanging in the air.

The shelter is just a cover, Wang Xingguo hopes that the shelter will seduce the other party, in order to prevent possible casualties, Wang Xingguo let everyone camp in a nearby tree, the shelter is empty, and the personnel are scattered in groups of two and two, Wang Xingguo and Xia Ruobing are in a group, Xia Ruobing asked with some concern: "Will it be effective?" ”

"As long as he comes, I'm sure I'll catch him." Wang Xingguo looked at the orange backpack lying quietly on the ground under the shelter and whispered.

"If it's really cannibals, if there are a lot of them......" Xia Ruobing felt that this was a very serious problem.

"We're going to use gunfire to deter and drive them away, and it's going to be a hassle for them to get through the trap, and that's when we can escape." Wang Xingguo said.

Wang Xingguo tried his best to avoid conflict with the other party, he made traps to arrest, that is, to deter and know who was following him, he felt that even if it was tracked by multiple people, the number of opponents would not exceed 10, according to the standards of the special forces, this is a tracking team, or a scout in front of the large army, and the firepower at hand is enough to deal with them, at least it can deter them from continuing to track.

But waiting was boring and boring, everyone was scared for a few days, and it was a high-intensity exercise, and even Crusell, who had always paid attention to his image, climbed the tree and didn't care that Kerry was beside him, so he found the thickest branch, tied himself to the trunk with a rope, and fell asleep with his head crooked while holding M4. With the example of the team leader, where can Kerry stay awake, holding a tree branch and immediately falling asleep. The trees chosen by Chen Badai and Mr. Min are not thick enough, the two are almost close to the branches, and after a while, the sleepy Mr. Min fell asleep with his head tilted against the tree, Chen Badai insisted for a while and was sleepy, holding the trunk and leaning on a branch to sleep, the only thing that can still stay awake is the Sherpa, Sharjah let the curry smell on his body go straight to his nostrils, and some choke his eyes, but after a few hours of dark, Sherpa also couldn't stand the attack of sleepiness and fell asleep. After Xia Ruobing and Wang Xingguo whispered for a conversation, they also obediently put their heads on Wang Xingguo's lap and fell asleep, leaving Wang Xingguo alone to watch the night.

The night sky after the rainstorm was very refreshing, the moon was hanging in the air on the treetops of the jungle, the visibility was very high tonight, Wang Xingguo could clearly see everything in the shelter and nearby, time passed unhurriedly, but nothing seemed to happen in the jungle, everything was so quiet.

Wang Xingguo has experienced a lot of jungles, but there are only a few such quiet jungles, the jungle on this Indian Ocean island is still a little mysterious in the quiet, the jungle is a paradise for insects and reptiles, even in the quiet jungle, Wang Xingguo will see ants, spiders, and even lizards or snakes, but it is too strange here, two days of travel, through so many uninhabited land, Wang Xingguo did not see a single insect, let alone other animals, there is no insect sound at night, as if the animals in this jungle are dumb...... Or hidden......

According to some legends, when there is a strong force in a certain place, all animals have to avoid it, for example, when Wang Xingguo was in the special forces, there was a jungle near the station, and the jungle was very strange, and there was not a single snake, because local legend has it that a half-dragon lived in a cave deep in the jungle, and it liked to eat snakes, and it could become a dragon if it ate enough 10,000 snakes, so all snakes would flee. Wang Xingguo had never seen this half-dragon, but he had patrolled the jungle countless times, and he had never seen a snake.

Some of the legends, though misrepresenting them, do explain things that are not explained by science, and perhaps the same is true here, where there is a mysterious power that intimidates other creatures and keeps them away.

Sharjah Jean said that this place is called Ghost Paradise, is there really a ghost in the world, a ghost with supernatural powers? However, Wang Xingguo does not believe in these, he still believes in science, but science cannot explain all phenomena, it is not the fault of science, but that science has not developed to a sufficiently developed level, just like hundreds of years ago, "science" believed that the sun was the center of the universe, but it turned out that this was not scientific, the sun is just an inconspicuous galaxy at the edge of the Milky Way.

Wang Xingguo will think about some questions when he is on duty at night, so that his nerves can be at a proper level of excitement, maybe these questions are meaningless at all, but as long as he lets his brain turn, he will not fall asleep, he knows that he can't count on other people, as a security expert, he must ensure everyone's safety, but when everyone can't cooperate, he can only work harder.

Wang Xingguo looked at Xia Ruobing, who was asleep on his pillow, sometimes he couldn't figure out why Xia Ruobing, a beautiful and cultivated girl, did she work in the exploration industry, this industry is tied to tiredness, dirty, and even rudeness, and the so-called joy of climbing to the top of the academic world is just a moment. It stands to reason that most beautiful girls like to settle down, but Xia Ruobing is an exception.

But maybe it was because she was an exception that Wang Xingguo made up his mind to join the expedition, Wang Xingguo himself couldn't say, he just felt that he would be very uneasy to let Xia Ruobing explore.

Wang Xingguo didn't know that when Xia Ruobing got the half of the Lu Wen comparison table left by her parents, she was already deeply obsessed with Loulan, whether it was for her parents' wishes or curiosity about Loulan's secrets, once she started, it was difficult for her to stop, no matter what was waiting for her in front of her......

Thinking wildly, unconsciously in the second half of the night, the moon also deviated from the top of the jungle tree, blocked by a mountain, and the jungle began to darken, Wang Xingguo began to wonder if his circle was a little too successful, so that the other party had lost his traces. According to his estimate, the other party should trigger the mechanism at midnight, Wang Xingguo raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was almost 5 o'clock in the morning, he had to rest for a while, otherwise it would seriously affect the judgment of the next day, and there would be dawn in an hour, if they hadn't triggered the mechanism at that time, it would prove that he had dumped them.

Wang Xingguo moved Xia Ruobing's head slightly, made her pillow more comfortable, leaned against the branch with the gun, closed her eyes and slept for a while.

Wang Xingguo just closed his eyes for less than ten minutes, as if he heard a little sound, he opened his eyes, and saw in the direction of the shelter that the backpack was still there, nothing happened, he pricked up his ears and listened, it was the sound of the wind, Wang Xingguo closed his eyes again to recuperate.

"Wow...... Woo......" Wang Xingguo closed his eyes for the second time for less than 5 minutes, and suddenly heard a terrible strange scream......
