Seeing that he was about to sweep the red object, Bai Yinglan forcibly stopped the gun and let the thing fall into the muddy water. Looking at it again, the two people in Blackstar Fort had already taken the opportunity to stay away.

Tianyang came out of a small alley next to him, took out the Ice Spirit Gun, shot the object in the muddy water, freezing it along with the surrounding muddy water, and then took out the recycling container from his waist bag and loaded the item inside.

"What is this?" Bai Yinglan looked at the young man curiously, a little incomprehensible to his caution.

Tianyang put the container away before he said, "There is an item called 'Vault' in Black Star Castle, and these items have certain strange abilities. When we dealt with Blackstar Castle before, we didn't suffer less from these vaulted items. ”

"That item just now, it's very likely that it's also a vault, I don't know what strange abilities there are, so it's better to be cautious."

Bai Yinglan suddenly said with some unwillingness: "It's a pity that those two people ran away." ”

Tianyang looked around: "There should be no one in the gathering place, let's go back first." ”

Miss Bai had no opinion, so the two of them returned to the convoy, and after listening to Tianyang's briefing, Han Shu touched his rough chin and said, "The scale of Black Star Fort is not as good as ours, and the troops, sublimators, and high-level combat power are all under us. But for so many years, why can they be like nails, rooted here, and deeper and deeper? ”

"Because those guys are a pack of wolves."

Bai Yinglan said thoughtfully: "I heard that the people of Black Star Castle do almost everything, they loot supplies in the wilderness, go to other fortresses to work as mercenaries or gold diggers, they are also news dealers, and often sell news through different channels to hostile fortresses or organizations. ”

"In short, they have almost no bottom line, which is why they have been able to develop to the scale they are now in just a few decades."

Han Shu smiled: "That's right, they are such people. Therefore, it is not surprising to me that they are now evacuating the gathering place, or even setting up an ambush in the gathering place. The people of Black Star Castle, probably after the failure to assassinate Bai Shengjie, already knew that we would be rewarded. ”

As they spoke, a machine emerged from the falcon chariot. It resembles a miniature vehicle, equipped with a variety of weapons, but with several mechanical legs that move like a spider on the ground.

It headed towards the gathering place.

"Isn't this a spider's nest?" Tianyang looked at the distant machine and looked at Han Shu suspiciously.

Han Shu looked surprised: "You also know? This is a kind of intelligent weapon sent by Yunyang Zhigong, its name is 'Sentinel', which belongs to a member of the intelligent corps, and this corps system is called 'spider's nest'. In this operation, Four Eyes has equipped us with a sentry. ”

"The Sentinel has excellent reconnaissance capabilities, and is equipped with a variety of light firepower, which is enough to carry out induced attacks, and to do some decoy operations."

Tianyang muttered, "Since there is such a convenient machine, it should have been taken out earlier." ”

Han Shutan spread his hands and glanced at Bai Yinglan: "I wanted to take it out just now, but you guys are walking too fast......

Bai Yinglan's face turned red, and he said a little apologetically: "It's me who is too reckless." ”

Han Shu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, it's also my fault, I didn't make it clear before." ”

In the space of a few words, the Sentinels had entered the gathering place, and under the control of the controller, they had conducted life detection and then metal detection. The former was not found, but the latter detected metal reactions at several locations in the gathering area, beneath the ground.

The sentinels then attacked the positions, and the weapons platforms on the machines warmed up, and a violent explosion immediately erupted in the gathering area.

Looking at the fireballs that rose up, Han Shu whistled: "The guy from Black Star Fort really left a hand, it should be an anti-tank mine, if we drove directly past the gathering place, it would have been blown up by now." ”

Tianyang reminded him: "Captain, shouldn't we catch up with those two just now, in case... No, maybe they're going to report the intelligence here right now. ”

Han Shu said calmly: "Don't worry, the sentry is equipped with a device called [Information Barrier]. We've built a barrier in this area, and they can't get word back to Blackstar Castle. ”

"Of course, those two sublimators can't just let it go. According to the information, there is an outpost of Blackstar Fort not far from here, and they should go to the outpost, and we will chase it now. ”

Bai Yinglan shook his head: "Maybe it's not that simple, since the other party has discovered our whereabouts, then we should know that our next stop will be to the outpost, will they still go to the outpost stupidly?" That is not known to be sent to death? ”

Tianyang also said: "If they find out about the existence of information barriers and know that communication cannot be used, in that case, if they want to deliver information, they can only rely on human hands." ”

Han Shu followed their train of thought and pushed down: "In other words, those two may not go to the outpost, but go through the mountains and return to Black Star Fort to report the news?" ”

Tianyang said: "Captain, let's divide the soldiers into two ways." You go ahead and pounce on the outpost, and I'll go after the two. ”

Bai Yinglan immediately said: "I'll go too, first, I will have a response, and second, I want to 'repay' that woman well!" ”

Han Shu simply said: "Okay, just do it, let's set off now." ”

Bai Yinglan temporarily handed over the command of his squad to Han Shu, and set off with Tianyang. After passing through the gathering place and entering the mountains, they went their separate ways.

Han Shu led the convoy and went directly to the outpost along the road. Tianyang and Bai Yinglan went deep into the mountains to search for deserters from Blackstar Fort.

After entering the mountains, it only took a moment for the two to find some clues.

For example, footprints, fragments of fabric hanging from the edges and corners of rocks, or marks from sharp objects such as swords. Seeing these traces, Tianyang knew that the two of them had come to the right place, and the pair of men and women in Blackstar Fort really did not go to the outpost, but went deep into the mountains.

Bai Yinglan seems to have received professional tracking training, and in many places where Tianyang can't find a trace at all, Miss Bai can often find a breakthrough.

At sunset, they found some replacement parts, apparently left behind by the hunter with the mechanical prosthesis.

Before it was completely dark, they found a few more cans of food discarded in the grass, and there was even gravy left in them.

All signs indicated that they were not only on the right track, but that they were already close to the two.

But when they were resting and eating, it was raining again in the mountains.

Rain cats and dogs!

With such a violent rain, it was impossible to continue to move forward, so the two had to find a cave to temporarily avoid the torrential rain.

Boom - Thousands of silver snakes exploded outside the cave, lightning flashed in the sky, thunder sounded, wind and rain poured into the cave entrance, wetting the surroundings.

Fortunately, this cave is big and deep enough, and in a relatively dry place inside, Tianyang made a fire, took off the wet clothes, and put them on the fire to dry.

Bai Yinglan also took off his armor, barefoot, and hung his wet battle uniform in the fire.

There was another explosion outside the cave, and Bai Yinglan's body shook slightly, and he shrank inside.

Tianyang glanced at her and felt strange, could it be that the eldest lady of the Bai family would still be afraid of thunder?

Bai Yinglan said suddenly: "Am I ridiculous, I am already a person of rank 4, but I am afraid of thunder." ”

Tianyang took out a kettle, took a sip and said, "Everyone has their own things to fear, and this has nothing to do with combat power, so even if you are afraid of thunder, I don't think there is anything funny." ”

Bai Yinglan was a little surprised: "Do you think so?" ”

Tianyang threw the kettle at her: "I see that you don't bring any supplies, use mine first." ”

Then he said, "That's what I thought, because I also have something to fear." ”

Bai Yinglan asked curiously, "Tianyang, do you also have something to be afraid of?" What is it? ”

Tianyang scratched his head a little embarrassed: "When I was a child, I once angered my mother, she locked me up and didn't turn on the lights for me. That time, I was really scared. The room was pitch black, and there were strange noises coming from all over the corner, like rats biting something, and like countless bugs crawling around. ”

"If there's anything I'm afraid of, it's a cramped dark space, right?"

Bai Yinglan listened attentively, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had drunk several sips of water. This is nothing, but when she thought that this kettle was used by a teenager just now, the roots of Miss Bai's ears began to feel a little hot.

She hurriedly spoke and diverted her attention: "I haven't locked up a small black house, but when I was very young, I once went to the beach with my family to play. I had so much fun that I ended up in a cave by the sea. It turned out to rain heavily that night, just like now. ”

"I listened to the thunder all night, and I was almost scared to death, and it was not until the next day that I was found by the guards. So after that, every time I hear thunder, I will...."

At the end of the words, there was a thunderclap outside the cave, Bai Yinglan's hand shook, and the kettle fell to the ground. She covered her ears and screamed, and suddenly shrank into a corner.

Tianyang was stunned, it was difficult to associate the current girl with the figure of the silver spear like a dragon in the Beidou base.

He picked up the uniform that had been dried, walked over, and draped the nightkin uniform on Bai Yinglan's body: "Don't be afraid, they can't hurt you." ”

Feeling the warmth on the uniform, Bai Yinglan calmed down a little. Suddenly, her eyes moved, and she raised her pretty face, but she didn't dare to look at Tianyang.

"That, that...... Can you hold me? ”

There was another thunderclap outside the cave.

Tianyang thought that he had heard it wrong, so he saw Bai Yinglan say in a panic: "Forget it, just let me say nothing." Really, what the hell am I talking about, you don't have to care......"

As soon as his body tightened, Bai Yinglan's body shook slightly, and he was already hugged by Tianyang.

The girl's heart trembled, plan, plan succeeded?
