Chapter 364: Restlessness on
Wu Qi and his entourage left the camp tent of Morley and other guards, circled the vast mining area, and finally chose a high point to install the camp tent.
It is not close to Morley's camp, and it can be observed at any time, and it is also close to the heavy mining equipment in the center of the mine, so that they can attack the mine from the mountains or canyons, and they can arrive as soon as possible.
Gao Yuan stood outside the tent, his arms raised horizontally with the RT-20, the muzzle of a long, thick gun symbolizing violence glancing over the dense mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests of the mountains to which he reached from every corner of the mining area. He is measuring distances and heights in various directions, and testing his eye for sniping in different environments.
Guo Baibai and Krees set up a temporary home in the tent, and July sat quietly in the corner of the tent, not disturbing them. Wu Qi, who was neither inside nor outside the tent, was patrolling the vicinity of the mine, memorizing the terrain of the larger area while watching the miners operate the heavy machinery.
A producer steered an excavation machine into the mining area, and when the mining machine touched the rock face, it emitted a piercing sound. As long as you are a human, you will feel very unbearable at first when you listen to it, and you can get used to it after listening to it for a long time.
The source of the noise was not here, and the multiple noises emitted by multiple mining machines at the same time surrounded the entire mining area, seriously affecting Wu Qi's keen hearing. In the case of multiple vibration waves below the surface rock face, Wu Qi could not tell whether there were plague species in the surrounding environment by listening to the ground, but there must be a certain number of plague species that were attracted to this place by the sound and vibration transmitted by the earth.
When the mining machine was activated, it was also the end of the rest time of the producers and guards in the mining area, and Morley and other guards stepped out of the battalion commander, took off the electromagnetic kinetic rifle hanging on his chest, held it in his hand, and scattered to patrol around. Eight soldiers were deployed close to the mountains and forests to patrol the periphery of the mining area, five were responsible for mobile support in the mining area, and two were on the top of the canyon to look out and reconnoiter the direction of the wasteland.
"Hey, new kid!" Mo Li walked slowly to Wu Qi's side and shouted.
"Captain Morley, what's the mix?" Wu Qi said lightly.
"You and your teammates, except for the sniper, go into the woods and be on the lookout for plague species that may be in droves to specialize a little." Morley ordered.
Wu Qi glanced at the edge of the mountain forest, the shortest place with plants to block the time is also 2 meters from the edge of the mining area with a vertical height of 2 meters and a horizontal distance of about 5 meters, which is the "buffer zone" dug out during the initial construction of the mining area, which can effectively prevent the plague species from gathering in groups in the corner of the defense line, breaking through with the momentum of arrows to injure producers or destroy equipment.
The view of people in the forest will be blocked by a variety of vegetation, and the plague species can make the most of the forest environment to converge the sound, which can be quite dangerous to enter. But such an action still has a certain tactical significance, as if the ancient army defending the city did not close the gates, but took the initiative to open the city gates and send troops to the plains to fight the enemy.
"Okay." Wu Qi calmly agreed, returned to the camp and communicated with everyone, and then took Krees and July across the mining area and drilled into the mountains and forests in the northwest.
The main tone of the interior of the forest is dark green, and the light shining from the top of the head is much weaker than that of the mining area with a wide view. Early spring is the most sparse period in the sea of tree canopies, but since a large part of the forests here are coniferous forests, the sea of canopies and canopies is not much sparse.
The trouser legs of the white uniforms collided with the shrub blades, and there was a rustling sound from time to time. Wu Qi is in front, Kreis is on the right, and Little Red Fox is on the left, spreading out in a fan-shaped formation.
Suddenly, a small brown snake fell from the sky and landed on Krees's shoulder, the little snake moved quickly, opened its small mouth and pointed at Krees's neck. However, Krees reacted quickly, and the lightning grabbed the seven inches of the little snake, and in an instant pinched the part into a ball of flat flesh.
Scattered pieces of snake blood flowed from the seven-inch wound and the little snake's mouth, staining the white soldier's uniform, and Krees threw the body of the little snake into the bushes not far away, shaking off the blood stains on his gloves.
"The snakes in this forest are generally small snakes and are not easy to spot, so be careful." Wu Qi reminded.
"Yes, master."
The little snake that attacked Krees was just a short episode, and it was quickly forgotten by everyone. As they profthed further into the forest, the mining machines from the mine became much quieter.
Wu Qi spread out the perceptual net, and divided part of his mind to listen to the voices below the land. He heard some movement in the forest to the northeast, but it was too far away, and by the time they arrived at the scene, the perpetrators of the movement had probably broken into the edge of the mine.
"Master, do you hear the movement of the plague species?"
"It's some kind of creature that stomps on the ground, and it runs a little like a wolf. If we can't make it, let the guards on the perimeter of the mine solve it. ”
The duty of Wu Qi and others is to detect the plague species that are attacking the mining area in advance, and if they are not encountered on the road, the role they play is to reduce the vigilance pressure of the escort team. As long as they don't fire flares, the convoy can avoid focusing on the north-west forest, and the mobile convoy can easily withdraw to support.
Wu Qi thought about it in his heart, if the northeast direction of the forest was the first batch of plague species close to the mining area, the second and third batches should be almost soon.
A minute after Wu Qi heard the movement of the land, a large number of flying birds suddenly appeared in the sky above the forest near the northeastern edge of the mining area. The agitation of the flock indicates that there is a big movement there, and it should be that the convoy and the plague species are at war.
At this time, a heavy sound sounded 5 meters away, and Wu Qi suddenly turned his head; At the same moment, Qiyue lowered his center of gravity, put on a fierce posture, and roared fiercely in the direction Wu Qi was looking.
In the depths of the forest, a giant bear has appeared! The giant bear is 3 meters tall, with strong limbs and extremely long limbs, covered with thick black hair, and a 40-centimeter-long scar on the left half of its body, with sparse hair near the scar, as if it is bald.
The giant bear's eyes are completely black, and the iris and the whites of the eyes are mixed together, like a black and slimy quagmire, and the light penetrates into the bottomless place, eerie and terrifying.
Cloudy eyes are one of the characteristics of a plague species with lower intelligence, but the fact that it is inferior does not mean that it is weak.
Wu Qi subconsciously stretched out his hand to his back and grasped the hilt of the long knife. He thought about it for a moment, and instead of using his long knife to quickly settle the battle, he raised the electromagnetic kinetic rifle hanging from his chest.
