Volume II: The Blood of the Sun, Chapter 27. Flickers
Lu Yuan's hair exploded suddenly, he subconsciously clenched his fists with both hands, pinched the iron rope to be a shield, and slowly changed his leaning posture through the shadows, and his legs were propped up, so as to burst out in an instant, Lu Yuan never had the ridiculous idea of killing him by the neck, and the sea of people who wanted to kill him went away, and if he dared to move him Lu Yuan, it was best to be pulled to the consciousness of being pulled on his back!
The person carrying the knife really came straight to Lu Yuan, and even unconsciously rubbed the back of the knife with his palm, and scraped his nails to make a slight "snort" sound, and walked slowly and softly, if it wasn't for Lu Yuan's heart always hanging in his throat, otherwise it would be really hard to hear clearly.
Lu Yuan slowly turned his face, pretending to be asleep and hanging his head, but actually looking at it from the corner of his eye. No matter what kind of intention this person had in mind, while most of the natives were asleep, Lu Yuan suddenly burst into trouble, and killed this person and grabbed the steel knife, and there was hope of escape.
Taking a breath, Lu Yuan secretly tensed his whole body, pretending to snore, and the chain that bound him was four or five meters long, and at this time it became a sharp weapon, with Lu Yuan's strength, he could stun the person who came and then strangle him, and he could completely do it quietly.
The footsteps approached little by little, Lu Yuan's breath remained unchanged, just waiting for the best opportunity, Lu Yuan's mind quickly formed an escape plan, first forcing this person to untie the chains for him and then hang him, touch into the shadows to stun and kill the guards one by one, find explosives to create smoke, and take advantage of the chaos to snatch a guerrilla motorcycle, which is fast enough to shake off the pursuers.
The torch will be cast on Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan is trembling slightly, of course, not because he is afraid or nervous, but he was forced to run for a long time before, almost to the point of losing his strength, just relaxed and mobilized, it was really a little unbearable.
The sound of the off-road vehicle sinking into the sand and bouncing out was heard from afar, "beep and beep" I don't know what was sounding, the shadow resisted Lu Yuan's eyebrows, and the footsteps stopped abruptly, just two or three steps away, which was the best moment to pounce.
But the people stopped.
"Wake up, Heaven." The words were mixed with a vague nasal voice, Lu Yuan's headphones were faithfully translated, although the sound was very small, but Lu Yuan knew that the comer would be able to hear it, he simply opened his eyes, and the white eyes flashed a little bright in the night.
Lu Yuan recognized the person at a glance, it was the indigenous leader.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was not smart, the leader also took a step back to express his kindness, of course, there was no knife or not.
"Heavenly people, I want to know where you fell." The skinning knife made a short arc, leaping over the fingertips, and the indigenous leader played with a knife flower, and the blade obediently performed a finger dance, pointing sharply at Lu Yuan.
"You and I are both smart people, to be honest, and not to suffer."
The firelight and moonlight shone brightly, but the face of the indigenous leader was dark, he slowly approached, and stopped at the limit of Lu Yuan's attack, he leaned forward slightly, and his tone was calm, not at all yelling and roaring at his subordinates during the day.
"If you don't say it, I will personally peel your skin inch by inch, and tell you to hang it in the car to dry, if you say a lie, I will cut you a piece of skin, the second time I cut my fingers, and the third time I will cut it from your second child."
The native said in a calm tone, chilling.
Lu Yuan only thought for a few seconds, then nodded, first spoke in the interstellar lingua franca, and then followed the earphones to change to the indigenous dialect, he said: "I have to make sure that I have a life after I finish speaking." ”
"If you don't say it, you'll die now, but I'll guarantee that you won't die for three days." The indigenous leader didn't seem to be surprised that Lu Yuan had to say something twice, patiently listened to the lingua franca and the indigenous language, and then spoke.
The skinning knife swirled and hid behind his waist, and the indigenous leader put a fist on his lower abdomen with one hand, looked directly into Lu Yuan's eyes, and said, "Your life and death are decided by heaven, but I can give you a liberating death." ”
The small eyes of the indigenous leader were like black beads, almost no whites, and he continued: "I am the leader of the scorpion slave hunting team, Gao Jiu, a man from the heavenly kingdom, your name? ”
Lu Yuan was silent, Gao Jiu didn't force it, and his tone was a little cold: "It seems that you have chosen the latter, tough guy." ”
Of course, Lu Yuan didn't want to die so miserably, anyway, the Xiyun had already turned into flying ashes, and there were at most a lot of fallen parts near the crater, and if it dragged on for a day, there would be a chance for a day.
So Lu Yuan spoke: "Map." ”
Gao Jiu stretched out directly into his arms, but he didn't hand it to Lu Yuan, but played it flat, regardless of whether Lu Yuan could see it clearly or not.
Lu Yuan's eyesight has always been excellent, but the light is too dim for him to see the small print on the map, so it is difficult to draw a scale. But the ground is like the outboard environment of the Sunset Cloud, a circular mountain range that passes through half of the map, roughly enclosing the basin on the west side of the mountain range in a semicircle, marked with a large number of marks or words.
The map is divided into squares, with red dots on the southernmost three squares of the mountain range, and few other than the south-east side of the mountain range. Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and barely saw some thin lines. Gao Jiu tilted the map a little towards the firelight, and Lu Yuan could distinguish the shade of color.
"Where am I at the moment?" Lu Yuan asked, he was unfamiliar with the place, he even drove a few trees, and there was no orbital satellite to guide him, the Xiyun gave the latitude and longitude, in the north-central part of the Eastern Hemisphere, but he traveled north for so long, with the original calculation tools of the all-terrain vehicle, Lu Yuan could only roughly guess the distance from the Xiyun. After all, Lu Yuan is a paratrooper, and the situation without air support is already very rare, and it is simply unthinkable to completely lose the position of the fleet
Gao Jiu pointed to the southeast of the map and told him that a square represented a hundred kilometers in length and width, and that the seventh square was horizontally and the fourth square was vertically from right to left. It had been marked, and Lu Yuan guessed that it should be written as an oasis.
Lu Yuan counted a few squares, and then knew that the crash site of the Xiyun was beyond the scope of the map, and shook his head: "Drive in a straight line to the south for seven to eight days, and drive for three days after entering the desert." ”
Gao Jiu put away the map, didn't look at it, and said fiercely: "No one has ever been able to cross the Ember Desert, do you think I'm a fool!" ”
After that, Gao Jiu flew up a knife and stabbed Lu Yuan's forearm, Lu Yuan snorted, his eyes were still staring at Gao Jiu without moving, and said, "I can't risk my second child." ”
"I can take you there." Lu Yuan saw that Gao Jiu touched a skinning knife again, knowing that he would never have a chance to fight back. "But I have to sit, not run," he added. ”
Gao Jiu threw up the skinning knife, caught it steadily, put it in his sleeve, and said, "There is no one who will not risk his second child." ”
"So, Heavenly Man, what sin did you commit to deportation?"
Lu Yuan was confused, he didn't quite understand what Gao Jiu said about "Heavenly People", as if he had accurately guessed that he really fell from the sky, that out-of-place all-terrain vehicle? Well, it should be, but in the face of Gao Jiu, the leader of the absolutely cunning and vicious slave catching team, showing cowardice or saying too much may be a fatal flaw.
Lu Yuan exhaled turbid breath and said sadly: "Too brave." ”
Hearing this answer, Gao Jiu seemed to be slightly moved, a trace of sentimentality passed through his eyes, and he said slowly: "This crime is enough to expel him." ”
Gao Jiu showed a bit of hope, and actually took out a small jar of water from behind his back, threw it to Lu Yuan, and said, "In the kingdom of heaven...... How is it? ”
Lu Yuan took a sip of the lid and took a sip, there was an earthy smell, obviously the filtered pool water here, and he could still taste a little snake blood. Lu Yuan smacked and drank half a jar in small sips, no longer maintaining a fighting posture, stretched his legs and sat more comfortably, recalling the bits and pieces that had been on the Corona, most of them were bitter, but it also made those joys more and more precious.
Now, he really lives by memories.
"Heaven, ah, there's no sand there, there's no ghost under the greenery, you can sunbathe in the pool with confidence, well, it's even cooler to get a bottle of wine and look at the thighs of the female civil servants on the shore. After the break, the projection was put on the playground, moved to the grill, the big guys had dinner and drank, not talking about the war, only talking about the beautiful girl I met today, who described everyone happy, the most fragrant piece of barbecue belonged to him, and then sang, played ball, bragged, and went back to the dormitory to sleep when I was tired. At that time, you didn't have to worry about what's outside the porthole, you just had to enjoy the view. ”
Before the Battle of Sentinel Star, more than 300 people of the 28th Paratrooper Brigade had a dinner party in the exclusive playground for paratroopers. At that time, Lu Yuan often slipped away to the mecha division station for dates, and she was not an ace at that time, but Lu Yuan still had to make a fight with the bastards who pursued her. Ah, that's a real way to lose.
Gao Jiu was actually a little absorbed when he heard this, but he immediately reacted, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and pursed his lips very tightly, and only after a while did he say, "Kingdom of Heaven...... Heavenly ......"
