Chapter 271, Meteor Shower
What is most frightening in the world is not the inevitable catastrophe, but the doom hidden behind you and the unknown when. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoHalf an hour ago, Jiang Lan, who was well versed in this, followed the same line of thought, and led Chen Modi to go deep into the rear of Crassus's position with only two of them, and infiltrated the swamp area behind the enemy.
On the horizon at the end of the rainforest, the faint glow of the rising sun could already be seen. With a staff in one hand, Jiang Lan walked carefully and slowly to the edge of the swamp, standing up from time to time to check the direction of the wind and leaving marks on the surrounding plants. Chen Modi didn't know what he was looking for, but he adhered to the duty of his entourage, and cautiously followed the footprints left by Jiang Lan and walked slowly.
After walking hundreds of meters towards the swamp hinterland, Jiang Lan seemed to have finally found the environmental conditions he needed—the five or six feet long cane in his hand, which was made of tree branches, was deeply embedded in the mud swamp in front of him. The quagmire in front of them was very different from most of the muddy roads they had walked on, and as far as the eye could see, the boundaries within a few dozen paces were filled with mud pools of sewage and dead leaves, from which bubbles bubbled from time to time, and the air was filled with a foul smell.
"This is it, stop moving forward and put on the filter mask." Jiang Lan squatted down and opened the backpack while instructing Chen Modi. Chen Modi hurriedly followed Jiang Lan's example, squatted down and put on a gas mask, turned his head and continued to watch Jiang Lan's actions.
Since the official opening of the fifth beta, the top of the idol list in Chen Modi's heart has been changed from Xia Yan and Lu Pingchuan to Jiang Lan - it is no wonder that although Xia Yan and Lu Pingchuan saved his life in the previous fourth beta, when it comes to tactical level and command ability, it is really five people who can be compared with Jiang Lan. What's more, Chen Modi is also a sniper, and after learning Jiang Lan's amazing sniper marksmanship a few times, he admires the five-body throwing.
"Be vigilant." Jiang Lantou threw out a sentence without replying, and shouted Chen Modi back from his distracted state. Chen Modi hurriedly took a few steps back, paying attention to the movements around him while continuing to peek at the movements in Jiang Lan's hands.
I saw that Jiang Lan took out of the backpack, and sure enough, it was a C4 bomb with a timing device installed, Chen Modi was wondering how effective this limited bomb could be in such a wet and muddy environment, but saw Jiang Lan take out a sealed jar from the backpack, and took out a rope soaked in some viscous liquid, and a small piece of iron was connected to the end of the rope.
Jiang Lan tied the explosives firmly to a protruding stump at the edge of the quagmire, attaching one end of the rope to the underside of the explosive, while the end of the iron block was thrown into the mire attached to it. Because of its large specific gravity, the iron soon dragged the rope into the lower layer of the quagmire and disappeared without a trace. After doing all this, Jiang Lan checked the connection between the explosives and the rope again, and confirmed the wind direction again, and then activated the timer device of the explosives.
"Hurry up, get out the way you came!" The timer on the explosives began to enter the ten-minute countdown stage, Jiang Lan pushed Chen Modi, who was still stunned, and walked back along the marked trees. Chen Modi had a lot of questions to ask, but he also understood that now was not the time, so he just buried his head in Jiang Lan's footsteps and hurried out of the swamp with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Within ten minutes, the two of them walked slowly out of the swamp and went around the high woodland above the swamp against the direction of the wind. At this time, Jiang Lan stopped, turned his head and took off his gas mask, and beckoned Chen Modi: "Find a place to hide, beware of projectiles!" ”
Chen Modi understood, quickly found a big tree and curled up, hiding his body behind the tree - only to hear a loud "poof-boom", there was a terrifying explosion behind him, Chen Modi covered his ears and before he could turn back, he saw countless dead branches and leaves that were lit on fire like meteor showers, blown down by the air waves set off by the explosion...... Seeing that a little bit of fire had also begun to ignite the plants under his feet, Jiang Lan pulled up Chen Modi, who was stunned, and ran out quickly: "Hurry up, I'll explain to you on the way." ”
Chen Modi hurriedly got up from behind the tree, followed Jiang Lan's back, and trotted all the way out of the area covered by the flowing fire. The two of them were walking against the wind, and their feet were not weak, and they arrived at a relatively safe place after a few minutes. Jiang Lan slowed down, and Chen Modi also stopped, panting and looking back—the scene in front of him made him completely stunned.
A huge pillar of smoke rose from the swamp where he had just stopped, and the surrounding vegetation seemed to be ignited by the rising hellfire, and in just a few minutes, it had become a sea of fire...... The flames had already formed an encirclement and were rapidly spreading in the direction of Crassus' position not far downwind. Looking at the plundering fire that was even more dazzling than the first glow of the rising sun, Chen Modi couldn't help but open his mouth to stare at Jiang Lan and was stunned - it was just a C4 bomb the size of his thumb, how did he create such an amazing explosion effect?
