Chapter 220: The Heart of Defense
"Nie Mad, the captain of the Crazy Knife Clan, is well-known in the hunter circle, and he has been ascending to the Heavenly Realm for several years, so he should be proficient in the principle of using magnetic levitation to fight."
Lin Chuan groaned, "I also saw the famous lone gunman Li Xin behind Shen Yulong, this guy is a ruthless person who can hunt super beasts with an ordinary pistol, once he locks it, even it is extremely difficult for me to escape, fortunately this is a dark underground, and his marksmanship is limited to a certain extent."
"In addition, Shen Yulong himself is also a combat department transcendent, he broke through the peak of the realm two years ago, with his identity as the third-generation leader of the Huanyu Group, of course, he is supported by a lot of cultivation resources from the family, whether he has reached the heavenly realm in the past two years, it is difficult to say - this guy was very cunning when he was in school, and it is very likely that he was pretending to be a strong man just now, just to make us take it lightly and underestimate his combat effectiveness.
"Expect the enemy to be lenient, if there are also three battle system Heaven Realm powerhouses on the other side, this battle will be very difficult to fight, there are too many variables, I am not sure."
"It's hard to fight, and you have to fight."
Lu Siya glanced at everyone, gritted her teeth and said, "Everyone, everyone understands the situation, now it is not a question of whether you can get rich or not, but whether you can leave alive from the ground, everyone, all of them are ready to fight, once they are attacked by the other party, they will immediately fight back without hesitation, and make a fuss with their lives, with me in their hands, even if they kill Shen Yulong, as long as they take advantage of the reason, Qingtian Group will support us!" β
Hunters and prospectors, as if they were accustomed to similar situations, nodded their heads and inspected their equipment and distributed their weapons with ease.
Zhang Weiyan, a senior prospector with white hair, hid a dagger in his boots, took a pistol from his scimitar hand, and stuck it behind him.
Only Meng Chao watched this scene dumbfounded.
Lin Chuan stepped forward, stuffed a large amount of genetic medicine and high-energy nutrients into his arms, and said in a low voice: "If there is a real fight, you don't care about anything, as long as you take care of your own life, you can run!" β
Meng Chao was incredulous: "Brother Lin, what's the situation, the two prospecting teams of Qingtian and Huanyu shouldn't be on fire, right?" β
"It's hard to say."
Lin Chuan shrugged, "You also saw that everyone seems to be happy and moving forward hand in hand?" β
"Butβ"
Meng Chao stammered, "We are both human beings, the offensive on the northern front above our heads is in full swing, we are at war against monsters, how can we kill each other at this juncture?" β
"You're here again, didn't I tell you that there are no 'humans' at all?"
Lin Chuan lowered his voice and said, "What if the war is in full swing, and the monsters are also waging war against humans, this will not delay the Diamond Hydra Dragon to eat dozens of sword halberd demon pigs every day!" β
Meng Chao was speechless for a while.
"Listen, college students, if you want to survive in this cruel world, put away your student thinking as soon as possible."
Lin Chuan patted Meng Chao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I know what you are taught in school, 'work together', 'unite as one', 'unite as one', as if all human beings are close relatives, there is no contradiction between each other, even if there is a conflict, it can be solved through sincere communication and mutual concessions."
"Yes, when we are in Dragon City, under the spotlight, surveillance probes and in full view, of course, when Lu Siya and Shen Yulong attend the charity reception together, they can talk and laugh, and even dance!
"But here is the wilderness.
"No spotlights, no surveillance probes, no countless pairs of eyes staring at us, no matter what happens, even if it is killing another human and throwing the corpse into the abyss or endless underground, it will not take twenty-four hours for monsters and microbes to gnaw the corpse clean, not even a single bone or slag left, and no one will ever know.
"Do you think that all people can always maintain the brightest side of humanity in this state?
"Tell you, behind the fog, in the depths of the wilderness, in order to compete for the spar vein and high-grade super beast materials, or for the interests of super enterprises, the entanglement of transcendent families, cannibalism between transcendentals, it is not such an uncommon thing, these senior prospectors and hunters, more or less, have experienced, at least heard of it, so everyone should prepare early."
Meng Chao clenched his fists and said, "But-"
"But why haven't you heard of it before, have you?"
Lin Chuan laughed, "Of course, the Survival Committee can't tell all the citizens everything that happened in the wilderness, otherwise it will not tarnish the glorious image of the transcendental, and everyone will suddenly realize that there are other contradictions besides the contradiction between humans and monsters."
"Of course, don't worry, we are all sensible and will never take the initiative to raid the prospecting team of Huanyu Group, but if the other party kills the killer, we are justified in defense, this does not violate your moral bottom line, right?"
Meng Chao thought for a while: "The other party will sneak attack us?" β
"Who knows, that Qin Hu of the Crazy Knife Team should have some grudges with you, I saw that he had a fierce look in his eyes when he left, and he looked like he was going to eat you alive, so I can't guarantee that he won't instigate his employer to attack us."
Lin Chuan said, "You can't have the heart to harm people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, let's prepare for the worst, so as to be prepared." β
Meng Chao nodded solemnly.
If the other party makes the first move, he certainly won't sit still.
Moreover, from the analysis of the memory fragments of the previous life, this prospecting mission is likely to end in failure, and even Lin Chuan fell underground, and his name will not be heard in Longcheng after that.
In this way, the possibility of a merger between the two sides is indeed not small.
Even if he had a grudge against Qin Hu, Meng Chao was unwilling to go to the dead end of fighting each other.
Because this is not only related to the safety of the two prospecting teams, but also related to the success or failure of the offensive on the northern front, and then related to whether there are countless fireworks of destruction exploding in the sky over Dragon City one day in the future.
Thinking of this, Meng Chao said: "Can't we really join forces to explore and equalize the mining rights and interests of the red glow jade vein?" β
Lin Chuan looked at him with strange and pitying eyes, as if looking at an innocent child: "Let's not talk about whether the group behind the two sides is willing or not, and don't mention the old feud between Lu Siya and Shen Yulong, just say that they really smiled and reached an agreement just now, how can you guarantee that they are not hiding a knife in their smiles, just thinking about paralyzing each other, and waiting for the most critical moment to stab each other in the heart?"
"After all, this is a dark underground infested with monsters, strong magnetic interference, and dangers, and it is too easy to kill one person or a hundred people here; It's too easy to destroy corpses and get rid of suspicion; And the priority mining right of the red glow jade vein is related to the astronomical interests, which is enough to make the ancient temple monks greedy.
"Even if Lu Siya is willing to believe in Shen Yulong, Shen Yulong will not believe in Lu Siya.
Lu Siya knew that Shen Yulong would not believe her, so how could she believe Shen Yulong?
"Even if the leaders of the two sides are willing to trust each other, what about the team members, there are dozens of team members on both sides, as long as one of them has evil thoughts, for example, Qin Hu wants to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill you deep underground, just like a spark falling into a powder keg, stirring up a chain reaction, 'boom', everyone will be blown to pieces!
"Understood, once we fall into this deadlock of mutual suspicion, we can only pray that the two sides are far away in the next prospecting operation, and do not meet again, and after one party discovers the red pyrite vein, the other party can maintain absolute sanity and demeanor, willing to accept defeat, and automatically withdraw.
"Otherwise, only God knows, what will happen."
Meng Chao was silent.
Lin Chuan sighed: "I said, I don't want you to accept Lu Siya's invitation to participate in this missionβyou will regret it." β
"No, I don't regret it at all."
Meng Chao shook his head slowly and said firmly, "Perhaps, I know better than Brother Lin how ugly human beings can become, but no matter how ugly they are, human beings are human beings, and we will definitely be able to find a way to break free from the predicament in the dark!" β
Lin Chuan stared at him deeply.
Meng Chao did not flinch and looked directly into Lin Chuan's eyes.
In the end, it was Lin Chuan who retracted his gaze first and turned away without saying a word.
When this happens, there is naturally no way to rest.
Many people have just entered a state of deep meditation, which is equivalent to being forcibly woken up from a deep sleep, which is a kind of mental and physical torture.
But everyone knows the seriousness of the situation, the competitors are close at hand, and whoever can discover the red jade vein first will occupy the initiative in morality, law and battle.
They had already left so many corpses of their companions underground, and they were not willing to go home empty-handed.
Soon, everyone packed their bags, buckled their weapons in the palm of their hands, and cautiously, racing against time to start the next stage of exploration.
Under the guidance of Lu Siya, who is a sensitive person, they are getting closer and closer to their goal.
Faults have gradually appeared all around, and they have only been torn apart in the last month or two.
The fragmented underground folds are like the magic of nature, a three-dimensional labyrinth that has been shattered and put together haphazardly.
In some places, it is necessary to climb crevices and cliffs with a drop of up to 100 meters with ropes and spikes.
In some places, you have to cross a dark river with strong currents.
The different nature of the hedron veins released different frequencies of psionic energy, making this cave as hot as a steel-making furnace, but the next cave was full of sharp icicles.
The alternation of extreme cold and extreme heat has a great impact on the life magnetic field of the transcendent.
The strong psychic magnetic interference has even affected the visual nerves and spatial cognition of human beings, and even experienced prospectors will be lost in every square inch, as if they have hit a ghost hitting a wall.
Rao is a transcendent person's strong physique, but he can't withstand such high-intensity torture, and everyone is close to collapse.
Compared with the sinister environment and the arduousness of the operation, what worries them more is the shadow of the Huanyu Group's prospecting team.
