Chapter 139: Real Danger
"You return to your respective units first, and inform your soldiers to hold their positions and prepare for battle!" The instinctive reaction of the battleground made Black Steel give this order as soon as possible, and several company commanders, including Hulk, did not have the slightest doubt, and quickly executed his order, and in an instant, only Wu Yun and Black Steel were left in the city.
Blacksteel's attention seemed to be drawn to the distant sky. The burly back stood like a boulder at the head of the city, and an invisible force made Wu Yun have to wait carefully, not even daring to come out. The feeling of repression is getting stronger and stronger. Just as he was trying to break the deadlock by some means, Blacksteel finally spoke. "What do you think?"
Heigang's words broke this strange silence, Wu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, the other party's question made him very difficult, after all, he didn't know anything now, so naturally he couldn't answer rashly. But it's not a good idea to just keep silent.
"Where are the troops now?" Wu Yun changed the topic after a little thought, and answered that the question was a good countermeasure at present.
At the same time as hearing his words, Black Steel's broad back shook suddenly, and the big black man turned around like a violent wind, staring at Wu Yun with his one-eyed eye.
At that moment, Wu Yun felt that his heart was clenched tightly by a huge force, a feeling he had never experienced before. Even when the ruins faced the muzzles of several black holes, he didn't feel such a strong aura of death. The fierce murderous and hostile intent that exuded from that single eye. Wu Yun had no doubt that he would be easily killed by him in the next moment, Wu Yun's body froze suddenly, and his legs retreated like a machine. Black Steel stretched out his big hand and grabbed Wu Yun's collar. Wu Yun thought that he would instinctively shout, but then he realized that he couldn't make a sound in his throat. He had to stare at the big black man in front of him in horror.
There is no time, Heigang secretly said in his heart, he is really forced to do so, this trick was learned by him from an old hunter, originally for the skill of unintentionally encountering monsters in the wild, simply put, it is to suddenly release a strong killing intent, so that the enemy is afraid at the first time, so as to gain an advantage for himself. He used this trick a few times, but the actual combat effect was not outstanding. But it didn't take long for him to discover the true usefulness of this skill, that is, when it is used in dealing with people, whether it is to torture information or search for ghosts, as long as there is a ghost in his heart, seize the opportunity to use it to intimidate, basically nine out of ten. Now that the situation was urgent, he really didn't have time to determine whether Wu Yun was trustworthy or not. The last resort is to adopt this immediate method. Judging from Wu Yun's performance, this kid was just simply frightened. When Black Steel realized this, his face slowly returned to his original state.
This change seemed very strange to Wu Yun. The killing intent in the black steel eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant. If it weren't for the slightest coolness on his back and forehead, Wu Yun would have begun to wonder if he had seen it wrong just now.
"I can execute you as an enemy spy!" There was not the slightest anger in Heigang's tone, Wu Yun licked his dry lips and did not speak, waiting quietly, perhaps it was the fright just now that produced a huge immunity. He didn't feel a trace of fear, but on the contrary, he actually had a trace of joy, because the other party said it directly, which obviously showed that he didn't plan to do so.
"Remember who you are, but a civilian assisting the military! Dare to spy on the military secrets of the troops! Heigang's words were full of warnings, and Wu Yun nodded again and again, he was a little reckless.
"The soldiers are on standby in warehouses and barracks." Black Steel's tone was very soothing, and he casually said the news that he had just kept confidential.
"This order was given by Philos before leaving, and he had all the troops withdrawn." Heigang explained without Wu Yun asking, "After that, he said that he was going out to meet someone, and before leaving, he specially ordered that no troops should be allowed to go up the city wall until he came back!" ”
"That's the way it is. As for why he did this, I have no clue at all. Heigang kept his mouth shut, since he had confirmed that Wu Yun had no problem, he naturally needed to send out all the information. Blacksteel is quite confident in his vision, and this kid should be helpful. After all, McGee was able to hold him and did a lot of work.
。。。 Wu Yun fell into deep thought, there was too little information in his hand, and he still couldn't judge the intention of Philos, withdrawing the defensive troops at this time was completely an act of giving up resistance, what made Philos make such a decision? How long can this continue? What if the ant colony strikes again? Many problems hit like a tide, and Wu Yun couldn't help but show embarrassment on the ground.
"Peng!" The familiar voice sounded again, and both of them were startled, and then reflexively looked in the same direction. The sky above the anthill is unobstructed, where is the shadow of the flare? Wu Yun looked at the black steel on his side suspiciously, but found that the other party's gaze had already drifted behind him, Wu Yun looked back and saw that the familiar red flames were dancing in the distant sky.
"Instructor! Flares appear in the north of McGee! "Hulk appeared on the gangway at some point." What do we do now? ”
Black Steel didn't answer, his brow furrowed, obviously struggling to make up his mind.
"Do you believe in Philos?" Wu Yun didn't have any good ideas, but he was very sure that while there was still time, the problem of army deployment must be solved first, which was also the most difficult problem for Heigang, the temporary commander, to decide now.
"What do you mean?" There was clearly a hint of anger in Blacksteel's words.
"I think Philos must have his intentions in doing this." Wu Yun explained. "It's hard for me to imagine him giving such an order, but since he is determined to do it, there should be a reason why he has to do it."
"So if you believe him, do what he says." Wu Yun came to a conclusion. "Don't let the soldiers go to town."
"But outside." Blacksteel didn't go on, and the current situation didn't need much explanation. Wu Yun and he both knew very well that although the giant ants had been repelled before, there were still a considerable number of remnants gathered around McGee, and the soldiers did not go to the city to give up this barrier, if the opposing team was mixed with a considerable number of iron-eating ants, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Then we'll have to build a line of defense on the inside of the walls." Wu Yun had an idea. "This not only has a certain defensive capability, but also does not disobey Philos's orders."
Black Steel's eyes lit up when he heard this, although it was not a good idea, but it was indeed a plan that could be put into action.
"Hulk, take someone with you. 10 meters from the city walls, fortifications were built. Blacksteel instructed loudly, "Deploy the two directions in which the flares will appear first." ”
Hulk nodded, and disappeared from the gangway.
"Now I can only hold on, and I hope to hold on until the mosquito coil collection team returns." Wu Yun said everything he thought, but in fact, there was nothing else to do.
Blacksteel was noncommittal to his words. As if they had discussed, the two stared at the direction in which the flare appeared.
"Sure enough, no... About 20 minutes passed. Wu Yun broke the silence. He had been waiting for the second shot to appear, and it seemed in vain. It seems that the black steel was correct before. Scouts usually release one to warn of danger. And something strange must have happened near the anthill for the three random flares to appear.
"I'm just briefly speculating now," Wu Yun said with Black Steel's questioning gaze, "Maybe it was the scouts near the anthill who discovered the enemy situation as soon as they first discovered the enemy's situation, and released the flare according to the rules. ”
"And then?" Black Steel was puzzled. "Why did you send two in a row?"
"He must have been in a more dangerous situation." Wu Yun thought about it and said slowly, "He can only remind us in this way... ”
"Makes sense... Blacksteel turned his head to look in the direction of the anthill,
"As you say, it's even more troublesome." Black Steel's tone was full of helplessness. "It's hard for me to imagine a more dangerous situation than it is now."
"Then you're really inferior to me." Wu Yun shook his head, looking quite relaxed.
"Oh?" Black Steel looked curiously at the teenager who was more than a decade younger than himself. Apparently expecting his answer.
"I don't even think about it." Wu Yun smiled bitterly. "There should be a chance to see it anyway."
"Hahaha~" Heigang laughed, and he patted Wu Yun on the shoulder. "You're not useless~" Wu Yun's casual joke was obviously very much on the appetite of black steel.
Looking at Heigang's happy appearance, Wu Yun felt that this moment was the best time to please. Just as he was about to put this idea into practice, his gaze was suddenly caught by a distant vision.
Wu Yun's face became unusually pale, as he had just predicted in the joke he had just made, he had seen it at this moment - the real danger...
