"Well, I guess remember."

Watanabe Meteor said with some hesitation: "I roughly remember the direction of the secret base, but now the sea of Aokigahara trees is pitch black, and there is not even a reference, and the signal in this area has been blocked by volcanic ash, so I can't guarantee that we won't get lost." ”

Liu Xing looked around and found that the surrounding scenery was almost the same, that is, the strange trees and the land covered by deciduous weeds, and Liu Xing and the others had already put on night vision devices at this time, so this was a green piece in the eyes of Liu Xing and the others.

So under such conditions, let alone finding a way, even walking well is a troublesome thing, of course, the most important thing is that Liu Xing knows very well that whether it is Watanabe Meteor or Ishikawa Ling, they all have no point navigation skills.

It seems that it may take a little more time to find that secret base.

Sure enough, after more than an hour in the past, Liu Xing and the others still did not find any trace of the secret base.

"Well, now we have to admit that we are lost, because it would have taken us at most an hour to get to that secret base without getting lost, but I don't see even a familiar sight right now... Although there is not much special scenery in this sea of trees in Aogigahara, there are trees in addition to trees. Watanabe said with a sigh.

Predictable.

Zhang Jingxu leaned against a tree and asked, "Then what should we do now, should we pick a general direction and continue to move forward, or find a way to climb a tree to determine the direction of Mount Fuji, and then guess the general direction of the secret base through where we are now, as well as the location of Mount Fuji and the gas station?" ”

Ishikawa Ling on the side shook his head and complained: "Even if we climb the tree now, there is no way for us to determine the direction of Mount Fuji in the absence of a light source, because Mount Fuji is a green unidentified object in the night vision device, and Aokigahara Shukai has always had a rule, that is, we humans can only move under the leaves, because above the leaves is the territory of the ancient gods; Of course, this is just a legend, and what we really need to worry about is that the public faction has started to monitor the area above the leaves, because they know that people who get lost in the sea of trees in Aokigahara will eventually choose to climb the tree to determine the location of Mt. Fuji, so if we do this, it is very likely that the public faction will find out. ”

Watanabe Meteor nodded, and said seriously: "That's right, there were a lot of special drones patrolling around Aokigahara Jukai before this, and we may be discovered by these drones if we are emerging now, of course, these drones may have been finished, but we still have to be careful when we go deep into the enemy camp, so let's just pick a suitable direction to move forward later." ”

After a while, just as Liu Xing and the others were about to move on, a gunshot suddenly rang out not far away!

Liu Xing and the others immediately aimed their guns in the direction of the gunshots, and at the same time quickly looked for cover nearby.

As a result, after this gunshot, Aokihara Shukai regained its quietness again, so Ishikawa Ling, who was standing at the front, made a gesture and motioned for Liu Xing and the others to approach him.

"This gunshot sounds like a distance of about five hundred meters from us, and this distance is close and far, but now that the sea of trees in Aokigahara is silent, it stands to reason that we should still be able to hear other sounds from the shooter, unless he is motionless after the shot, or is acting lightly, but both of these situations are too unlikely, because there should be only one reason for this person to shoot - he found the enemy!"

"So, if this person is a member of the public faction, then the reason why he only fired one shot is either to solve the enemy with one shot, or the enemy is hiding nearby, and he begins to confront the enemy, but there is another prerequisite here - the public faction should not arrange a person to patrol and guard in the sea of trees alone, so if this person is a member of the public faction, then he should have several teammates around him, so if the enemy is hiding, Then the patrol team of this public faction should have suppressed the enemy and notified the other patrol teams around to come to their aid, but they did not do so. ”

"But if this is really a one-shot solution, then this patrol should also come forward to check the identity of the enemy, inform the surrounding patrols to be careful of potential enemies, then there should be some noise, but they didn't do it either, so we have to suspect that the shooter is actually the same as us, he should have shot out a lone member of the public faction out of necessity, but it's still that problem, this person should have fled here quickly after the shot, right, right, Because this gunshot can be heard far away in the quiet sea of trees in Aokigahara. Ishikawa Ling said in a low voice.

Liu Xingshen nodded thoughtfully, feeling that no matter who fired the shot, he should continue to make some movements after the shooting, instead of nothing happening like now.

"Is this just a trap set by the public faction? I've heard before that some hunters will use the tape recorder to record special sounds that can attract specific animals to the tape recorder, and then these animals will be caught by the traps around the tape recorder, so I think this gunshot may be a 'bait' prepared by the public faction to make us curious to check the situation, and then we will fall into their ambush. Yin En also whispered.

The meteor shook his head and said seriously: "Actually, there is another possibility, that is, the person who fired the gun may have seen some kind of mythical creature, or was suddenly attacked by some mythical creature and chose to shoot, but this shot did not achieve any effect, and the shooter was also killed by that mythical creature, and the most important thing is that this mythical creature is very 'quiet', and he obeys the three words of food and silence." ”

Hearing Watanabe Meteor say this, Shi Zixuan suddenly said: "That's right, I heard a gossip about the Aokihara Jukai before the Battle of Gongwu began, that is, there may be a variety of unidentified mythical creatures in the Aokigahara Jukai, and the number of these mythical creatures is very rare, and it may even be just a single individual, so they have no intention of leaving the Aokigahara Jukai all along; As for why those people think that these mythical creatures exist, it is because the secret churches operating in the sea of trees in Aokigahara often have inexplicable attrition, and often one or two people are missing if they don't pay attention. ”

"At the beginning, these secret churches thought that their rivals were secretly attacking, but they soon found out that things were not so simple, so several secret churches teamed up to make a bureau, and arranged a few members to act as bait in a designated area, ready to use this to let the attackers throw themselves into the net, but these decoys eventually disappeared, and some of the decoys also made some resistance, such as shooting or something, but when the others arrived at the scene, It was found that the bait and the assailant were missing, and there were very few traces left at the scene, so it was determined that it was most likely related to the mythical creature. ”

"In this world, there are many mythical creatures that have been found, but their specific circumstances have not been confirmed, for example, there is a mythical creature living near some snow-capped mountains, their names can be snow monsters, snowmen or Bigfoot, but there are no other exact clues except for some sporadic sighting reports, so I received such a business before, to join a rich man's expedition to investigate the situation of the snow monster, and if I have the opportunity, I have to capture this snow monster, even if I am agile and have excellent tracking skills, but was still thrown off by the snow monster. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Zixuan said in a serious tone: "I found the snow monster in a cave in a snowy mountain, and I also observed the snow monster up close, and then I found out that this snow monster is not a distant relative of our humans, because it looks like it has no other similarities with us humans except for being able to walk upright on its legs, simply like the difference between us humans and mythical creatures such as deep divers and ghouls; Originally, I had planned to wait for the large army to arrive before rounding up the snow monster, after all, the reward for catching the snow monster is much higher than that for observing the snow monster. ”

"But when the others got my message, I noticed that the snow monster was approaching it one step ahead of me, so it immediately created a storm to buy itself time, and then it dived into the ground like a dive, if I had to describe it in four words, it was mercury pours! So after learning about some other similar mythical creatures, I found that these mythical creatures are extremely vigilant and very adaptable to the environment in which they live, and of course, the most important thing is that these mythical creatures have world-class escape technology. ”

"Wait, listening to what you said, Master Zixuan, why do I think these mythical creatures in your mouth are very similar to Xiugos?" Liu Xing said with a frown.

Shi Zixuan showed an expression of "you can teach you", nodded and said: "That's right, I think so too, although these mythical creatures look strange and live in a variety of environments, but there are still too many similarities, especially the escape methods are almost the same, so I think these mythical creatures are very likely to be subspecies of Xiugos, although these subspecies of Xiugos have undergone some changes because of the local environment, but their essence is still unchanged, Especially the instinct that has been engraved into their DNA - to turn into liquid when they escape. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Zixuan glanced at the direction of the gunfire and continued: "If the person who shot just now found a subspecies of Shogoth, then it is very likely that he was 'assimilated' by that subspecies of Shogoth at close range after the shot, so there was no movement after that gunshot, but for the sake of insurance, I think I still have to go to the scene to check the situation, so you wait for me for a while,"

After speaking, Shi Zixuan was like a light Persian cat, and without making a sound, he disappeared from the field of vision of Liu Xing and the others after a few ups and downs.

"If it's really a subspecies of Shogoth, then we don't need to worry too much, because Shogues generally doesn't attack the target of the group when it is alone." Zhang Jingxu said affirmatively, "But you can now turn on the thermal imaging function of the night vision device, because the body temperature of Shogues should be different from the surrounding trees and weeds, of course, if it is hiding in the soil, then I haven't said this." ”

Liu Xing recalled how to operate the night vision device he wore on his head, and then turned on the thermal imaging function of this night vision device... Next to the infrared active release function.

The first generation of night vision devices in history is to actively release infrared rays to the outside world, and then recycle the reflected infrared rays to complete imaging, but this imaging method requires the night vision device to continuously release a large area of infrared rays, so it is easy for the enemy to capture these abnormal infrared rays, so the next night vision devices will change infrared from an active skill to a passive skill.

However, in a completely dark environment, the infrared rays that can be actively released will be more useful, so the night vision device prepared by Sawada Miyin is not only equipped with a thermal imaging function, but also has the ability to actively release infrared rays, in addition to the most effective way of night vision, that is, turn on the flashlight function!

Of course, unless they are forced to do so, Liu Xing and others will definitely not turn on the flashlight function, after all, in today's Aokigahara Shuhai, the effect of turning on the flashlight function is no less than directly hitting the sky with a magazine.

Back to the topic, a piece of infrared light flew out of the night vision device on Liu Xing's head, and it quickly fed back to the situation around Liu Xing, that is, there was no difference from before, except that the resolution mentioned some.

However, just when Liu Xing turned off the active release function of infrared rays, he suddenly found that there was a bulge that didn't look normal on a big tree not far away!

Liu Xing immediately cautiously gestured to the others.

"Be careful, this may be the Shogus subspecies that Shi Zixuan mentioned earlier, but its attack method should be to wait for the rabbit, and after the prey is close to the tree where it is, it will jump down and devour the prey." Watanabe Meteor said seriously: "It seems that Liu Xing, you have to turn on the active release function of infrared rays all the time, because the body temperature of these subspecies of Shogues is exactly in the range that the thermal imaging function cannot effectively distinguish." ”
