Chapter 11: The Mechanical Fanatics

"Shhhh

Link ran to Ah Fu's side in three or two steps, and saw through the faint starlight that half of Ah Fu's body was sinking into the ground, stuck tightly.

"Why are there holes in the Gobi?" Link was confused, his brow furrowed.

Ah Fu pulled his hands on the Gobi, and his heart pulled out the cold.

"Slowly stretch out your feet to test if there is a hole or something under your feet, remember to be careful when you stretch your feet!" Link said unhurriedly.

Ah Fu was originally panicked by the six gods, but when he heard the boss's words, his previous worries and nervousness were swept away, and he had a backbone again.

Ah Fu did as Link said, focusing on his lower body, his legs moving slowly, and the soles of his feet were tentatively tapped.

Soon, Ah Fu's boots stepped on a pointed hard object, and his body trembled with fright, but he still tried it seriously.

"What have you been tempted for?"

"It looks like a trap, and there are a lot of pointed barbs underneath."

"Boss, go quickly, if you don't go to the Cult of the Machine God, people will come around." Ah Fu closed his throat and whispered with a slight cry.

"What are you going to do when I'm gone!"

"It's better to die alone than two!"

Link laughed angrily, got up and looked condescendingly, although he couldn't see Ah Fu's face clearly, but the two lines of tears in the dark night were extremely clear under the starlight.

"You can't trust me like that, huh? Isn't it just a group of fanatical followers of the Cult of the Mechanicus, what are you afraid of! Link spoke in a flat tone, not at all afraid of being discovered.

Ah Fu's expression froze, and he stared straight at Link.

Although the night blocked the boss's majestic face, the confidence exuded by the boss up and down was as dazzling as a thousand suns, making it impossible to look at it directly!

Link wasn't idle, he had probably guessed the purpose of the trap, and it was dug up by these fanatical followers who patrolled the Grand Canal to improve their food.

You must know that the whole barren Gobi, there is only such a canal, and the animals of the Gobi hide from the sun during the day, and naturally come out to forage for food and drink water at night. If you fall into this trap, you will be able to fight the tooth sacrifice.

The fanatics heard the cries and must be on their way by now.

However, things are not without room for salvage, otherwise Link would not be so calm.

"Ah Bao, you start to loosen the soil and dig a hole from the edge, and I will try to drag Ah Fu up!"

"Ah Fu, you inhale in your stomach, let's try again!"

"Sand sculpture, you lower the height and keep an eye on the fanatical believers who come over, as soon as I give you the order, I will blow them with [Sand Dust Sweep]!"

Link sent three messages in a row, and the treasure hunt mouse, Ah Fu, and the sand sculpture all moved.

The treasure hunt rat burrows its head in the dirt where the trap is stuck, and Link pulls Ah Fu's arm with both hands, trying to pull him out.

The sand sculpture was originally 'positioned and hovering' in the air, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Hearing Link's command, he immediately opened his eyes and silently circled from the sky to lower his altitude, approaching the fanatical believer.

The treasure hunt rat quickly dug a hole, and immediately used this hole as a breakthrough to dig up the soil to continue to 'loosen' Ah Fu.

……

"Anyway, is the trap you dug useful, can you catch it?"

"That's right, our stomachs are all handed over to you, don't play tricks on us!"

"Believe me, I worked as a hunter for two years before I defected. The Grand Canal is shallow at night, and there are sure to be animals coming here to search for water. It took me more than half an hour to get this trap done, so I can't fool myself, right? Just wait for the game to be eaten in the evening! ”

"I'll believe you once, if we can't eat game tonight, we won't let you out of the tent tomorrow!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's headsets were filled with a strange laugh of "hey, hey, hey".

Fanatical believers are not having a good time in the Gobi either.

The sphere of influence of the mechanical city is in the barren Gobi, so they can only operate in the Gobi, if it weren't for the worship of machinery in their bones and the longing for the cult, who can stay in the Gobi where this kind of bird doesn't for a few years.

"Ahh

Everyone laughed and cursed, and suddenly it was as if they had pressed the pause button.

The laughter stopped, and so did the swearing.

All five froze in place, ears pricked up.

"By the way, did you hear anything just now?"

"I could hear it vaguely, and it seemed to be coming from behind me."

"I heard it too, and it still seems to be screaming......"

"Wait! Isn't it a trap? ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the five people were lit up in unison, like weasels seeing chickens, and their footsteps all walked back.

The five of them were talking excitedly as they walked along the way.

"The scream just now is quite loud and full of energy, judging from my experience as a hunter for two years, this prey is definitely not small!"

"Haha, not counting sand scorpions and geckos, I haven't eaten meat for almost a year!"

"Ready-made prey, the trap is a big pit that is ready-made for fire, and the barbecue will start tonight."

"Don't you question me in the future?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, you'll be the master in the future!"

"During the day, we look at the captain of the horse. At night, you're the real decision-maker for our team. ”

"Mars, you kid is the closest to the trap, and you don't say a word at this time, are you going to eat alone?"

"What are you talking about, am I that kind of person? I'm going to hurry over and see what kind of game it is! ”

Immediately after that, there was a heavy wheezing sound on the intercom.

The remaining four were also walking towards the trap, while pricking up their ears and waiting for Mars's report.

But at this moment, there was a noisy whistling, ghost crying and wolf howling wind from the walkie-talkie, and the sound of sand and gravel crackling in the walkie-talkie microphone.

Just when a few people thought it was a signal problem, Mars's voice came over the intercom.

"Phew, phew! Why is there still sand and dust in the Gobi at night? Mars covered his eyes with his hands and spoke, and a lot of sand blew into his mouth.

I was originally approaching the trap, but a gust of wind blew inexplicably halfway, rolling up the sand and blurring the vision, and the light of the searchlight could not even penetrate a meter, exaggerated like a sandstorm that swept the entire Gobi.

Mars ventured through the whirlpool of the wind, turned around and shone his searchlight, and found that it was a whirlwind four or five meters in diameter.

"It's strange that there is such a whirlwind on the ground at night...... Mars muttered as he continued towards the trap.

It is very common for whirlwinds to appear on the Gobi, but this thing usually only appears in the daytime, and the diameter is at most one or two meters, like such a large whirlwind Mars has really never seen.

But it doesn't matter!

What's more tempting than a barbecue on a cold night in the Gobi?

Mars searched with a searchlight carpet, and soon saw a black hole about a meter in diameter where the light had passed.

Walking forward quickly, the searchlight shone around the trap, and Mars's face changed suddenly.

"The trap is empty, there is no prey!"

There was silence on the intercom, not a single sound.

After a second......

"Hahaha, Mars's joke is really not funny at all!"

"If there's no prey in the trap, you're definitely hiding."

"Please, tell me what the hell is good, my stomach is already rumbling."

Mars's face was full of incomprehension and absurdity, the trap was clearly effective, why was there nothing? The most important thing is that these people don't believe it!

Mars paused word by word: "I repeat, the trap is opened, there is really no prey!" ”

The others were all stunned when they heard Mars's serious tone.

This guy's tone doesn't look like a joke, huh?

But how is this possible?

The trap was opened, and they also heard the sound, how could there be no prey.

"Wait a minute, we'll come right over!"

Soon the other four gathered at the trap and saw the empty trap.

"I'm not kidding you, I don't have a place to hide prey." Mars lifted the mechanical arm guard and spun around in place, and there was really no place to hide.

The fanatics who set the trap crouched on the ground, holding their heads in the searchlights.

"There was no blood on the barbs, but there was trampling on the walls of the trap and digging marks on the edges of the trap."

The fanatic's head was pulled out of the trap, and the searchlight shone around the trap.

"Huh?"

The fanatic saw a clear trail of drag next to the trap.

As the searchlight continued to extend, several messy shoe prints appeared at the end of the trail of dragging.

"Striated sole with non-slip rubber soles with serrated stripes about a centimeter wide...... This is the style of the Wasteland Mercenaries' boots. ”

As soon as these words came out, the five people were shocked, and their eyes lit up together.

"It must be agents infiltrated by the Wasteland Gang, if we can catch them, it will definitely be a great achievement, maybe we can all break into the mechanical city!"

The searchlight continued to shine into the distance, and the messy shoe prints became orderly, and the four shoe prints stretched all the way.

"There are two Wasteland Operatives."

"Shhhh We must not make a public statement about this. If we say that the other teams want to get a piece of the pie, we won't be able to get any benefits. With only two agents, the five of us could easily take it down! ”

The five of them quickly reached a consensus that this matter would not be revealed, so as not to be cut off by others.

"Turn the searchlights on to their lowest level, don't alarm the rest of the team."

"We're going to catch up now."

……

Under the double stimulation of the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe and the crisis of life and death, Ah Fu's body trembled uncontrollably.

Ah Fu hurriedly followed Link's side, and his wheezing voice drowned out wave after wave: "Boss, you saved my life from the hands of death, and in the future, I Forbes will only look forward to you and follow you for the rest of my life." ”

"As for it? Although there are a few twists and turns in the middle, it is far from the point of 'making a promise to each other'. ”

Link didn't think there was much of a problem, with the cooperation of treasure hunting rats and sand sculptures, this sudden situation was almost stumped for him.

Ah Fu looked serious and ran quickly to Link: "Boss, I'm serious!" This is a centuries-old tradition of our tribe, and if you save my life, I will repay this kindness with the rest of my life. It's just a gesture for the boss, but for me, it's a great favor! ”

[Forbes reaches 100 points of loyalty to you]

[Forbes Request to Be Your Servant, Accept/Deny]

Link looked at Ah Fu with a serious face, and he had a posture of not leaving if he didn't agree.

"Well, I accept your loyalty!"
