Chapter 174: Searching for Pigs
The dust fog has quickly dissipated.
In front of Thomas were pigstys emerging from behind the fog, and fat pigs stunned by the loud explosion.
They are all fat, big-eared, wide-bodied, and stupidly huddled together, and they all look almost the same.
At a cursory glance, the total number of these fat pigs is as high as fifty or sixty.
"Where the hell is he?"
Thomas stared at everything in front of him with a slight bewilderment:
But Li Qing obviously got along with those fat pigs very naturally.
He didn't know which pigsty he was hiding in, so he dismantled the digitization mode, made the blood bar on the top of his head disappear, and then stood there like a normal fat pig.
Just looking at it from a distance, you can't tell it at all.
Thomas hesitated slightly, but finally walked cautiously that way.
While cautiously guarding against Li Qing's sudden attack, he slowly walked down the aisle with bated breath, carefully observing every pig in the pigsty on both sides of the aisle.
The gaze of a man and the gaze of a pig collided in mid-air.
Thomas had a natural threat in his eyes as a hunter, but the pigs' gaze remained glazed and ignorant.
No matter how much Thomas tempted, they didn't move.
I can't tell it, I can't tell it at all.
"So, are you going to kill all these pigs?"
"No... I don't have enough ammo with me to kill so many pigs. β
"If you run out of ammunition before you can find your real body, the situation becomes quite tricky."
Thomas's gaze flickered a little:
Li Qingdu has become a pig, and he can still come up with such a means to deal with a hunter with stand-in ability and modern weapons.
Sure enough, as he thought, these guys who can make the boss helpless are not simple.
If that's the kind of guy that, maybe there's hope...
There was a little ripple in his heart, but the roar from the wireless headphones interrupted his wandering:
"Idiot, what are you doing?!"
"Hurry up and find out that Li Qing... Otherwise, go and be with him in the pigsty! β
The Director's voice was furious.
Obviously, the difficult situation of being driven by the enemy into the base camp made his heart not as calm as it seemed.
Thomas had no doubt that if it weren't for the fact that he and Li Qing were still needed to deal with each other, the director would have sent him to the pigsty and locked up because of his current poor performance.
"I'm sorry, Director..."
The Director was annoyed by the unfavorable changes in the tide of battle, but Thomas, who had been cowering, was calm.
He apologized without humility or arrogance, and then said:
"I don't think I need to rush to find Li Qing now."
"What do you mean?" The Director's voice choked.
He habitually wanted to insult his subordinates who were faintly disrespectful to him, and then reacted in an instant:
"Yes... Yes, there is no hurry. β
With that, the director's disturbing noise finally died down for a moment.
"Li Qing."
Thomas calmed the supervisor, and then shouted Li Qing's name in the wide pig farm.
He didn't find out where Li Qing's true identity was, but continued to walk slowly along the aisle, and then shouted loudly to the circle of stupid fat pigs beside him:
"You can keep hiding, you can hide for as long as you want."
"But let me tell you a secret that you should be more or less aware of..."
Like an actor performing a one-man play on stage, Thomas sings the line aloud alone:
"This pig farm, this whole building, is actually a stand-in for the head of our science and technology group."
"Just step through the door of this pig farm for more than two minutes, and a living person will be turned into a pig by the whims of our supervisor, just like you just experienced."
"So, you might be able to hide here all the time and not show your head."
"But what about your companions?"
Thomas continued to put pressure on Li Qing with words:
"They're already at the gate of the farm, and the minions are desperately delaying them."
"Two minutes, just two minutes.... Your companions will all become fat pigs without wisdom! β
"Li Qingβ"
"Do you want to keep hiding?"
There was no panic in his voice.
Because the fact is as he said, even if Li Qing temporarily covered up his traces with unexpected tricks, the advantage was still completely on the side of the science and technology group.
After the phone was lost and the explosion sounded, Giorno and the others would definitely break into the pig farm to find Li Qing.
So, without any warning, can they see through the true face of this "pig factory"?
In those two short minutes, will they be able to successfully unravel the trap?
Li Qing didn't dare to bet.
That is, his hiding technique made no sense from the beginning.
What about hiding? If he can't break through Thomas's blockade and join with his companions to send out reminders, then the only thing he can do here is to add a few more minutes to his remaining life.
"Come out!"
Thomas gripped the butt of his gun and continued his simple but effective tactic:
"Give it a shot, you might still have a chance."
"If you continue to hide, you will have to wait in this pigsty for your friends to come and keep you company."
He was answered by a meaningless pig cry.
Li Qing didn't seem to be moved by him, those pigs still behaved like pigs, none of them looked like people.
And Thomas is not in a hurry.
As long as Li Qing did not escape from this area and failed to run to the front of the pig farm to meet his companions, then he still had the absolute upper hand.
He paced slowly between the pens and the pens, quietly waiting for the time to pass.
Finally, Li Qing didn't seem to be able to stand it anymore.
As Thomas passes by a pigsty, a large, fat boar inside appears to be restless.
It was snorting rough air from its nose and its front hooves slammed to the ground.
In the next moment, the large boar, which weighed several hundred pounds, jumped out from behind the low door of the pigsty, and then arched towards Thomas with a menacing nose.
"It's finally here..."
Thomas turned his head abruptly, locking onto the attacker with his eyes hidden behind orange eyepieces.
After thousands of years of domestication, the pig has become a very docile animal.
This kind of fat pigs that have been living on pig farms have long lost the wild nature of their ancestors, and it is impossible to attack humans for no reason.
So, in this case, the pig who will suddenly attack him ...
"It's only possible Li Qing!"
Gunshots exploded, and dense metal projectiles shot out in an instant.
They do not naturally disperse during flight like normal shotgun projectiles, but are condensed in mid-air under the influence of a mysterious force, merging in a line, and then hitting the force to focus on attacking the target a little.
The metal projectile thus concentrated has a terrible ability to pierce and chisel.
Before the boar that had jumped out of the pigsty towards Thomas could gain ground on the ground, its left front leg was shattered by the impact of such a dense projectile.
Blood spilled out, and joints shattered into foam.
The bullet's nearly severed front leg could no longer support its body, and the fat boar collapsed to the ground with a painful hiss.
"Hmph-"
The boar let out a terrible wail like a pig.
It was no longer able to move, and could only collapse in a pool of its own blood, wailing weakly.
"Huh?"
"Is it because you didn't use the stand-in ability to bleed this time?"
Thomas cautiously stared at the fat pig who had been beaten to the point of helplessness, and he was full of 120,000 points.
"Idiot!!"
The Director's yelling rang out from the wireless headphones again.
He had been monitoring everything around him, so he helped Thomas detect the problem in the first place:
"You've mistaken the pig!"
"Look back - Li Qing is behind you!"
