Chapter 399: Rainy Night
Life is always up and down, and no one knows what will happen in the next second.
Like Casimo, he managed to snatch the Pirate King's treasure, beat the mercenaries, and avenge his brother, and then all he had to do was find the general and kill him.
Unexpectedly, a storm completely destroyed his dream.
In the blink of an eye, all advantages are gone, if it is man-made, he can retaliate, but his enemy is nature, and he can't do anything but bear it.
For Thorin, his dream of snatching the pirate ship home is shattered, but the storm has brought his enemies before his eyes.
Before, he was afraid to move because of the pirate's firepower.
But now everything has changed.
Thorin waved his hand and everyone went out, the sound of mercenaries in the rainstorm was completely muffled, and the polar visibility made their movements even more hidden, one by one like ghosts lying in ambush on the ridge, the muzzles of guns sticking out from behind bushes and branches.
The pirates were still climbing up in horror, but when they stepped out of the rain and appeared in front of Thorin, Thorin didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.
The other mercenaries also fired, and the hot bullets pierced through the pirate's chest at an extreme distance through the rain curtain, and the sound of the rain drowned out the gunfire, and he reacted only when he knew that the pirate in front of him had been shot and the others had fallen.
"Someone, there's an ambush!"
Marceau rushed up and pulled Cassimo into the mountains, such a surprise attack, so close, still striking a group of exhausted pirates who had lost their armor and had just escaped from the brink of death.
Such a battle pirates simply could not organize an effective resistance, they did not even know where the enemy was, and at this moment everyone had one belief.
That's running.
In a matter of moments, half of the pirates fell in pools of blood.
The red-eyed mercenaries chased them into the Black Woods.
Compared to the storm outside, it was much quieter, with thick and dense vines tightly wrapped around the trunks of the trees, connecting a large area of woods together, and the ability to withstand the storm was multiplied, plus the position was high enough to avoid the huge waves, and the vegetation of the Black Forest was quite intact.
Mike and Thorin chased into the woods with their guns, both of them stopped, the rain was already very dark, and it was like night in the black woods at this time, and it was too dangerous to rush into the woods in such a situation.
In the forest, Maso Cocasimo and other pirates also stopped, hiding behind the big trees, and they also realized this, and behind them everything was completely dark, and nothing could be seen, even if they wanted to, they could not walk.
The distance between the two groups was not far, and no one dared to move.
"Mercenaries, definitely them." Marceau said in a low voice.
Because it was so cold, Marceau spoke, her upper and lower teeth chattered, and her teeth clicked.
"I know, everybody, be ready, don't shoot indiscriminately, it will reveal our position." Cassimo touched his pocket and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he didn't touch the cigar for a long time, and finally only touched a tin wine jug, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, a hot feeling rushed to the top of his head.
Quasimo cowered in a ready-made hollow at the base of the tree, a place that could only accommodate the next person.
The water flowed into a stream beside the trees, and the sound of the rushing water mingled with the sound of the rain overhead, and all but these sounds disappeared.
The chaos just now cooled down suddenly, and the enemy prey fell silent. 315 Chinese Network
The others also sat down against the tree, and one by one they all turned into soup chickens, with multiple injuries all over their bodies, and they just didn't care about running away at all, and it hurt badly when they stopped at this moment.
Thorin and his party quietly retreated to the temple, leaving a few people to block the door and guard the others, sitting or lying against the wall, although they were also soaked, but the temple was very dry, and such a powerful storm could be safe.
At this moment, not getting wet is already the greatest luxury.
I can't imagine what it's like to be outside all night on a rainy night like this, it must be terrible.
Thorin took off his shoes and poured out all the water inside, then leaned against the stone and snorted pleasantly.
Now fully armed and guarded the entrance to the temple, they can rest easy even in the face of pirates.
Mike held the gun and closed his eyes.
Now that there are no more ships, there is no need to fantasize anymore, everyone has to try to survive on Elysium, and if you want to do that, you have to destroy everyone else.
It's a good fit for Mike's taste.
Everyone was tired, and they didn't bother to speak, so they all chose to be silent.
Soon everyone entered the dream, listening to the sound of the rain and sleeping in the dry and safe temple, they were the happiest people on the island of Elysium.
The rain has gradually subsided, the tsunami is not as strong as before, and it seems that everything is returning to normal.
Thorin was not sleepy, and the more nights like this he became, the more excited he became, not because he liked rainy nights, but because he had developed a habit early on, that is, the quieter the environment, the more vigilant he became.
A comfortable environment is like a sugar-coated cannonball, a poison.
Once you get caught up in it, it can often have disastrous consequences.
"Can't sleep?" Mike asked in a low voice.
"Are you different?"
"Have you ever heard a strange sound, as if there are bugs crawling on this wall?" Mike said.
Bugger?
Thorin pressed his ear to the wall, and the sound of countless reptiles crawling behind the cold stone wall immediately reached Thorin's ears.
"With such a heavy rain, I think these insects have come here to take shelter from the rain just like us." Mike yawned and closed his eyes.
Thorin got up and pulled out his flashlight.
The flashlight illuminated the stone wall, but nothing could be seen but the stones.
Thorin subconsciously swept around the temple, and with this accidental glance, he seemed to see something strange in the corner, and quickly shone the flashlight at the corner.
Even one of the mercenaries in the corner turned into a black mass and even shimmered.
Thorin almost didn't die of fright when he got closer, it was actually countless red ants, densely packed together, crawling around on the mercenary's body, this guy had been dead for a long time with his eyes staring.
