Chapter 337: Battle Within Specifications (14/14)
Whether it is the persistence of faith or the miracle of life, or the trickery of conspiracy.
The depleted warrior returns to the base with a puzzle, whether it is to save the lives of his comrades or to yearn for fiery revenge, or the inferior and dirty tactics of an unknown enemy hiding in the shadows.
As the saying goes, if God closes a door for you and doesn't open the window for you, it's probably because his old man wants to blow the air conditioner. The guards thought about it for a long time, and after a long night, their eyes were red and they didn't come up with a reason.
At this time, he remembered his immediate boss, the great propertied spokesman Carlos. Comrade Barov once said -- the so-called warrior of steel, the will of steel, summed up in six words, do not abandon and do not give up.
My family has been sucked dry, but the fanatics are at large, and if this field is not recovered, I am afraid that people's hearts will be scattered.
When people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.
So to simplify the problem, don't care if there is a mastermind behind the scenes, whether there is a conspiracy or not, this matter will not be finished if you don't find a person to blame.
That night, the chief of the guard ordered five brain-filled ones, and followed himself into the sea of ashes.
Calling friends to go in and find a field, the momentum is enough, and then what? What about supplies, how to leave the back road? Who will save it in case of failure, and who will send the information of the observation record?
The enemy has not been found yet, and the chief of the guard first sang with a red face and a white face to suppress the real stupidity of his subordinates who were about to move. Then select personnel to prepare equipment and divide materials to carry, and finally participate in the cremation ceremony of the remains, and give a eulogy by the way, everything is over, and a new day is coming.
Although every member of the six-member rescue and revenge team is full of anger, the IQ of the people selected by the chief of the guard is still above the horizontal line. The whole operation was too sudden and emotional, without adequate preparation and careful planning, and everyone actually understood in their hearts that it was not so much a journey of salvation and revenge as a spiritual peace.
In a special place like the Sea of Ashes, it's safer at night than during the day.
The reason is very simple, the wind is strong during the day, and the ash and dust will sink down at night, as long as there is a little light, and then bend down, you can see a piece of shiny. In the Sea of Ashes, there is no real safety at all, but it is always much safer to choose a place that does not reflect the light.
Six men are tied to each other by ten-meter-long ropes, and they make a winding march through the treacherous sea of ashes in a strange way.
Tracing not only requires rich theoretical and practical experience, but also requires a brain that is not mixed with water.
To put it simply, it's USEIT.
Although the Sea of Ashes is desolate and vast, and looking for someone in such a large area seems like searching for a needle in the sea, but referring to the rout of the orcs, the exploration range of Natalie and her party, and the movement limit of Maclay's frail body, it is already possible to deduce the approximate exploration range.
Sure enough, in the second half of the night, the six-member team found traces of a fight.
"Look, boss."
The sharp-eyed guy pulled out a small, broken round shield with axe marks from the dust, and there were black-brown dried blood stains on it.
"It's our people, we should have met on the way back."
"Well, it's too close, a few hours away, and it's not quite like an encounter when you move forward, it doesn't make sense."
Listening to the rambling analysis of his subordinates, the chief guard silently broke off a small piece of sawdust and threw it on the ground.
"Let's go over here and have a look."
When you don't know what to do, it's better to do something casually than to stand stupid.
The chief of the guard faithfully fulfilled this principle and gave his fate to the faith.
So as expected, it was empty.
Although the overnight march did not exhaust these rough men physically and mentally, it did not lift much spirit.
The sky was bright, and the sea of ashes was about to go berserk, and the captain of the guard who had gone the wrong way did not see a single bird feather, so in desperation, he could only find a place to avoid the sun and make up for his sleepiness.
As the temperature rises, the air is filled with the smell of barbecue metal, and the air begins to become cloudy, with fine and tiny PM2.5 particles starting to jump up and down in near-Earth space with the heated updraft, and soon, the air becomes cloudy.
The sea of ashes has risen......
Before the dust storm could rage, the captain of the guard finally climbed a badly weathered rock platform.
"It's almost here too, depending on the weather, the wind won't be too strong today, the height here is enough for us not to eat dust, arrange the vigilance order, and everyone will rest."
He took out the dense black wool blanket and shook the ashes, and the chief guard sat down cross-legged and rolled himself into a lump.
Looking at the scene of the dust rolling like the waves of the sea, I not only felt the magic of nature, but also felt a little anxious.
A night of exploration has been fruitless, I'm afraid it's a lot of bad luck.
However, there are three principles of wilderness rescue: don't hurt yourself, don't hurt others, and don't be hurt by others.
The sea of ashes in the daytime, walking in it without seeing objects and having difficulty breathing, is a first-class place of death, as is the case with humans, and so are orcs.
Without special equipment or a strong mage to lead the team, it is not pleasant to forcibly rush in the sea of ashes during the day.
Thinking about it, the head of the guard thought a lot, and gradually became a little sleepy.
The probe looked down, and sure enough, the smoke and dust were still about ten meters away from the rock platform, as long as there was no strong wind, there was basically no threat to everyone.
Get some sleep, explore again at night, and you'll be done.
I don't know how long I slept, but from the fatigue of my muscles, it was two to three hours at most, and it was the kind of time when I didn't sleep comfortably and felt uncomfortable, and the chief of the guard was woken up by the vigilant sentry.
This lad is good.
The chief of the guard let out a heartfelt emotion in his heart.
In such a situation of being trapped on an isolated island, the sentry did not even doze off, which is indeed good.
"Boss, there's something over there that is shaking my eyes."
Hearing this, the head of the guard couldn't help but look up at the sky, the clouds were still very thick, and the sun looked like a dead fish with weak energy.
When he first woke up, his head was not very bright, and the chief of the guard didn't understand what the sentry was trying to say, so he was simply confused.
"There's something, reflective, over there."
The sentry holds the blanket in one hand and gesturing it in the other.
However, it is better to see than to hear, and a spot of light crossed the eyes of the chief of the guard, staggered across the rock platform where everyone was resting, and then swayed back.
"I felt like a distress signal."
The chief of the guard thought for a moment and said.
"I think so."
The Sentinel nodded in agreement.
"Very well, watch carefully, continue to be vigilant."
"Oh."
After answering the questions, the chief guard rewrapped the blanket and continued to make up for sleep.
I'll talk about it when it's dark.
Let's hope it's not a trap. (To be continued.) )
