Chapter 231: Iron Blood Hunt 7
Gu Cheng used a tool to lower the metal plate on the wall of the cabin, and then tinkered with the line inside, although these space technologies were still too esoteric for him, but for him who only planned to do some small damage, it was not difficult for him, and after placing the A4 type high-explosive bomb in it, he continued: "There will definitely be people who will search this temporary camp, if we are lucky, we can catch one." β
"And we're in an ambush here?" Sam asked.
Gu Cheng thought for a while and said, "No, let Mo ambush here alone, her ability is close to the assassin type, and she is better at ambushing, let's go find the next camp." β
Mo listened, nodded, and agreed to Gu Cheng's plan.
Gu Cheng and Sam immediately set off for the next camp.
The marshland rainforest of this prehistoric Earth-like primordial planet is extremely dangerous and dangerous. Not to mention the messy and lush vines of plants, as well as the poison dart frog the size of a bright blue ball, and the silver krait that is thicker than an arm......
There are also jungle vampire bats with a wingspan of 7,8 feet, which use razor-sharp triangular front teeth to slice their prey, injecting saliva into the process of biting, these vampire bats have an anesthetic in their saliva that keeps the prey painless during the whole process, and a coagulant that ensures that the nutrients needed by the bats are not lost, and this toxin can also destroy brain cells and make people stupid.
Just dodging these deadly creatures is enough to make people feel a headache, but Gu Cheng even "unreasonably" asked Sam to grab some with his fists to extract the toxin. Anyway, with a set of medical equipment, it is not difficult to do this.
However, the two also discovered that even if the two belong to the camp of the "Will of the Planet", there will still be some creatures with fierce natures that will attack them. For example, the highly venomous spear ants, mutant piranhas and highly venomous cobras, among which the spear ants are the most tricky, they are not only numerous, poisonous, and they will fall into temporary paralysis immediately after being bitten, but Gu Cheng dismantles the heat blocking smoke, and the smoke slowly released through the front section can disperse them.
Fortunately, Sam had long been surprised by Gu Cheng's endless methods, and while helping Gu Cheng catch highly poisonous creatures, the two of them were struggling in the jungle.
Soon, the two of them finally made their way through the jungle of cheats to a river. The current of the river is quite turbulent, and the sound of the rushing water can be heard from afar. A huge saber-toothed tiger bathing in the river is twice as large as an adult Bengal tiger, with a somewhat shriveled back and belly and two sharp fangs on its upper jaw.
Sensing that Gu Cheng and the others were approaching, it only glanced up at the location of the jungle, but continued to walk down the river.
The two of them were overjoyed, thinking that this saber-toothed tiger was a "plot character" belonging to the will of the third camp of the planet, and they specially came to lead the way, but they saw that the saber-toothed tiger sped up and jumped into the jungle in front of them.
"Boss, are we going to keep up?" Sam asked.
Gu Cheng smiled, and walked directly to the upper reaches of the river, saying as he walked: "After seeing this saber-toothed tiger, I was originally only seven points sure of finding the Predator base, but now it has risen to nine points. β
"How?" Sam said with interest.
"From the state of the saber-toothed tiger just now, it can be seen that it must be in a state of extreme hunger. But the creatures we have seen through the jungle are all highly poisonous creatures, so the food of the saber-toothed tiger should be other beasts, and according to the location of the temporary camp of the Predator before, it is inferred that within 5 kilometers of this vicinity, with the usual style of the system, it is naturally impossible to give the first camp a chance to be idle, so the hungry saber-toothed tiger is their best opponentββ"
Gu Cheng's judgment was not wrong, the saber-toothed tiger's destination was indeed the Predator's No. 3 steel base. It wasn't just this saber-toothed tiger that went, the beasts within a twenty-mile radius of the Predator No. 3 steel base all converged on this place, because the number of Predator scouts in the Predator No. 3 steel base was several times more than the temporary camp, and there were several Chosen and other Predators, which was why so many beasts were attracted to the past.
Although there may be a certain gap in the strength of the three Chosen Ones, the first camp is the strongest in terms of team ability. Because based on the number of Predator scouts in the previous temporary base, the number of Predators on this planet cannot be judged by the number in the Predator series of movies.
Besides, but by the numbers, there will never be a Predator with the same combat effectiveness as in the movie.
But the system doesn't give any of the forces a chance to breathe, so the beasts of the third faction will be arranged to constantly attack the temporary base of the first faction.
Gu Cheng obviously guessed this, so he decided to follow the beast and take the opportunity to attack the Predator No. 3 steel base.
With the ability of the Chosen One of the third faction, it is impossible to attack the next Predator base in its entirety, unless it is a temporary camp like before, but at most it can only be broken one by one as before, or it can reduce the opponent's strength by taking long-distance assassination, and then planting bombs and bombs to lure the enemy into the trap, otherwise it is impossible for the two of them to attack strongly.
It's a pity that since the crazy price increase of explosive props, Gu Cheng only has a few high-explosive hands and thunders that Mo acquired, as well as 3 A4 high-explosive bombs he bought himself, but now there is only one A4 high-explosive bomb left, which obviously does not support this tactic.
Therefore, Gu Cheng finally decided to "take advantage of the situation"!
Take advantage of the "potential" of the third faction's plot forces to seek greater benefits for the squad!
Gu Cheng and Sam walked along the edge of the jungle for an unknown amount of time, and gradually, the river surface that was originally more than ten meters wide gradually shrank to a width of three or four meters, and the water flow naturally became more turbulent, carrying a large amount of turbid sediment.
Sam subconsciously made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves and volunteered to go down the river to open the way, although the water potential of the river was treacherous, but it was not difficult for him, Gu Cheng thought about it, but stopped Sam's action, looked for a while in the dense forest next to him, selected two hollow jungle trees with a diameter of twenty centimeters, very hard, similar to bamboo, wasted a lot of strength to break them, roughly processed them into stilts one and a half meters long, and then made two crutches, and finally dug holes in the top section that could accommodate the legs and feet, so that Sam directly stuffed the legs into it, and then tied a few times with tough vines, and then staggered like stepping on stilts to hold on to the big tree next to him and stood up.
Sam couldn't understand why Gu Cheng was so careful, but because of his boss's caution, he suddenly thought that there might be something in the muddy river.
The physical fitness and balance instinct of the Chosen One must be much beyond ordinary people, Sam just tried to walk a few steps, and slowly mastered the essentials, chose a place where the water flow was relatively slow, went into the water with two wooden sticks, and walked over with a sway, if it weren't for his strength attribute was really strong, but he couldn't support walking in this rapids.
When he got to the other side, Sam was surprised to find that the plants on his legs were crawling with thumb-sized bloods, these bloodsuckers were all black and obviously poisonous, and kept trying to drill into the cracks in the trunk of the tree, there were at least hundreds, and they looked dense, making people feel pimples all over their bodies.
Sam quickly took off the stilts and threw them aside, but was still bitten by two bloodsucking bugs-
[You are attacked by a mutant bloodsucking bug, which inflicts 1% HP bleeding every 3 seconds for 6 seconds!] γ
[You are attacked by a mutant vampire bug, dealing 1% HP every 3 seconds for 6 seconds!] γ
Because he was bitten by two vampire insects, Sam's health was dropping at a rate of 2% every 3 seconds, so scared that Sam hurriedly reached out to pull it off, but the two black vampire worms were pulled like rubbers, but they just kept pulling.
At this time, Gu Cheng also crossed the river, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense!" If you break the bloodsucking worm, not only will it not die, but it will also burrow directly into the body, and you won't be able to take it out without cutting off the flesh! β
Sam suddenly had no choice, and asked with a bitter face, "Boss, what should I do?" β
After Gu Cheng took off the stilts, he opened the refrigerator from his personal space, took out a white bottle, poured out some powder and sprinkled it on the black vampire worm on Sam's feet, and the two swollen bodies that were originally biting Sam suddenly shriveled down and fell off Sam's feet.
The penetration of these two bloodsuckers is too strong, they directly bite a small hole the size of chopsticks in the pants in the gap between the metal junctions of Sam's iron-blooded scout uniform, you must know that there is a set of Predator silver armor in Sam's iron-blooded scout uniform, to put it bluntly, it is a double "armor", and then there is a set of clothes inside, just like that, the bloodsuckers can actually drill into it, which shows the horror of this mutant bloodsucking worm!
"Boss, what did you sow? Give me a bottle! Sam was still a little scared in his heart, if he didn't listen to Gu Cheng's direct descent into the river, he would have hung up directly in the river, you must know that these bloodsuckers are not afraid of burning or cutting, and the bleeding rate of 1% every 3 seconds can still be accumulated, which is completely against the sky. And the medicinal powder in Gu Cheng's hand seemed ordinary, but he didn't expect that it would have an amazing effect on these bloodsucking insects, so if it wasn't valuable, he would naturally have to prepare a bottle.
Gu Cheng casually threw the white bottle to Sam, who took it and took a look, put it in front of his nose and sniffed: "Salt? β
Gu Cheng nodded and explained: "Although these bloodsuckers are alien creatures, they are inferred from their habits that they are mutants of leeches, even if they mutate no matter how much they mutate, it is only a change in the way and toxicity of blood, and more than 90% of the body is also composed of water, if it loses too much water, it will die instantly, and after sprinkling the purity of salt directly on its body, the water in its body will quickly seep out because of the concentration of salt on the body surface, so this edible salt is actually the most deadly poison for bloodsuckers!" β
"Huh? Boss, how do you know there's these things in the river? Sam asked curiously.
Gu Cheng pointed to the beasts in the jungle and said: "Those beasts didn't cross the river directly, they all jumped over the rocks, and the speed of a few of them passing through the river was also extremely fast, obviously there was something in the river, and a primitive river like this was nothing more than piranhas and bloodsuckers." β
What surprised Sam was not only Gu Cheng's caution, he didn't expect Gu Cheng to carry things like salt with him.
Gu Cheng seemed to see his doubts, and explained: "The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, not to mention the salt, I have oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in my bag, as long as it is something you have seen in the kitchen, I have it here...... Besides, I also brought a refrigerator full of food, and if there was no problem with oxygen cylinders, let alone 7 days, even if I survived in this jungle for 30 days, there would be no problem. β
Sam silently gave a thumbs up: "The boss deserves to be the boss." β
"Bang-"
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the jungle, interrupting their conversation.
"Gunshots?" Sam was startled by the sudden sound of gunfire in the distance, and subconsciously jumped behind a rock to dodge. This was his vigilance as a Space Marine, and if it weren't for that, he would have been reunited with the soldiers buried in the belly of the worm long ago.
"It looks like the Predators and Beasts of the Steel Base are fighting. Let's go, go over and see! Gu Cheng took out his gun and rushed into the forest, his black and white twins all had their own silencers and silencers, as long as they were not too close, they didn't have to worry about being discovered.
The further you walked into the middle of the woods, the gunfire became louder, accompanied by the roar of beasts and some explosions.
Gu Cheng and the others didn't dare to step forward, looking for a hidden spot all the way and approaching behind those beasts. After about ten minutes, the two of them came to a slightly higher position, and used vines to cover their bodies to observe the battle in the distance.
The Predator's No. 3 steel base was dozens of times larger than the temporary camp, and the trees within a radius of hundreds of meters around it were cut down to build a defensive fence, and then the Predator set up a dozen temporary tents around the base, with a rudimentary guard tower eight meters high in each of the four directions.
At this time, the beasts attacked the camp from four directions, whether it was running on the ground, flying in the sky, and even the beasts that were originally natural enemies united at this moment to jointly try to break through the fence defense of the temporary camp.
Strangely, unlike any of the Predator films, the weapons used by the Predator's normal-level warriors are slightly more advanced than Earth technology, and these guns can only be said to be slightly more advanced than modern weapons, but they are not worthy of a technological background that can create a spaceship that soars through the universe.
Not to mention the various weapons, stealth armor and other "high-end goods" in the Predator series.
The only thing ordinary Predators can get on the table is the pair of "energy laser knives" pinned to their waists, like a Jedi, not to mention that they thought they were on the wrong Star Wars set.
"Hey, boss, look, the watchtower in the direction of the defensive fence on the east side has been breached by two saber-toothed tigers!" Sam's tone was full of schadenfreude, after all, he belonged to the third camp of the planet's will, how could he not be excited to see the "plot characters" of the third camp so powerful to break through a defense point of the first camp?
What's more, if these Earth Beasts can successfully break through the defenses, he doesn't mind going down to help, and reaping the benefits by the way.
Listening to Sam's tone, Gu Cheng knew what he was thinking: "What? Want to sneak in and take advantage? β
"Of course, hehe, boss, don't forget my old job." Sam smiled, feeling a sense of pride in being an interstellar bandit.
"Look at the other side first!" As he spoke, Gu Cheng handed the telescope to Sam.
Sam took the telescope and looked at the other side suspiciously, and exclaimed, "Heavy power? β
Behind this group of strange beasts, the two Chosen ones hid behind the beasts and quietly ambushed, their angles just escaped the detection of the Predator base, but they were discovered by Gu Cheng who was on the side.
"They started this beast attack?" Sam immediately thought of the attack of the alien beast on the two of them.
Gu Cheng nodded: "Very likely, after all, we belong to the will camp of the planet, if we don't use these alien beasts, it is impossible to confront the first and second camps." β
"So what do we do? Do you want to join forces with them? β
Gu Cheng shook his head: "Cooperating with them is undoubtedly a tiger skin, let's go." β
"Let's go? It's a great time to get rewards! β
Gu Cheng jumped down from the tree, hid in the grass and said, "Since they are attacking from the east, let's wait for them to concentrate the defense forces of the base at the east gate." Then we entered from other directions and went to this camp to take a look, Chongwei and the others wanted to use us as cannon fodder, and this time they also made them feel like cannon fodder! β
"The guards aren't all that easy to lure through, are they? Aren't the iron-blooded scouts afraid of their voices? β
"We're going to have to work harder!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
On the other side, in the forest to the west of the Predator's temporary camp spaceship, a chaotic sound suddenly sounded in the dense grass, followed by a tumbling of the land, and three figures crawled out from below.
"Phew." The taller one spat out the dirt in his mouth and scolded: "Although this earth art skill is safe, it's too aggrieved, and every time it gets disgraced, the ground moves, are you sure there is a temporary base here?" β
The second Chosen One who crawled out of the pit carried a set of mechanical armor on his left shoulder and a detection instrument in his hand: "Two kilometers from here." β
The third person was wearing a pitch-black tight-fitting suit, with two sharp sabers pinned to his feet, and a two-meter-long thunderbolt on his back.
The mechanically armored man known as "Earth Motion" said, "Judging by the signal fluctuations, this temporary base should be the smallest of the several temporary bases of the Predators, in other words, the Iron Scouts stationed there are also the fewest . If this location has not been discovered by the other Chosen One, I suggest using the third plan to quickly take this temporary base and complete the second main quest. β
"I agree." The burly Chosen One nodded, "Thunder Annihilation, what is your opinion?" β
The Black-Clad Chosen One shook his head.
"Alright, let's take a look." The burly man took out a handful of glittering AKs and held them in his hand, and took the lead in the direction indicated by the ground movement.
