Chapter 29: Bounty Hunters
After a full meal, the four of them installed the automatic alarm and went back to the car to rest, tired for a day, except for Richard, who was very worried, everyone else quickly fell asleep.
Richard was still thinking about what Mu Chen said to him, this buddy is always much more mature than his peers, although he is usually very arrogant, but he is more reliable than everyone at critical moments.
It is said that tribulations make people grow, and Richard, after various changes in the recent period, finally figured out the way forward, and his former unruly personality gradually calmed down after experiencing gunshot wounds and snakes......
Suddenly, the automatic alarm in the distance noticed an anomaly and emitted a "beep" alarm.
Richard quickly lifted the blanket on his body and got up to look for his weapon, only to see that Mu Chen, who was still snoring before, was already lying in a dark corner with his witcher sniper rifle, observing through the multi-functional sniper scope in the direction of the alarm.
Richard was speechless for a while, this gap is too big, isn't it possible that you have been pretending to be asleep before? React so quickly, what kind of battlefield literacy is this?
silently complained a few words, and was as vigilant as Mu Chen.
The Witcher's multi-functional sniper scope has both infrared and thermal imaging night vision functions, allowing you to clearly see distant targets at night.
Through the night vision goggles, Mu Chen saw that two people had triggered the alarm they had set up, and one of them seemed to be injured.
Mu Chen hid in the shadows and used tactical gestures to explain the information he had obtained to Richard, who was not far away, and motioned for him to lure the other party over.
Richard understood and shouted at the people in front of him with his gun: "Put down your weapons and come over with your head in your hands!" ”
A voice came from the woods in the distance: "Friend, don't shoot!" ”
After a while, two people appeared in front of the four of them supporting each other, a man and a woman, two people with European and American faces, the woman suffered a lot of injuries in the abdomen, and she barely stood with the support of the man.
"Put your hands up!" Richard was loaded and said without hesitation, Mu Chen had already told him not to trust any stranger in the wild, even if it was an injured woman.
"Friend, we have no ill intentions." The man took the initiative to throw his weapon aside and said sincerely.
Richard glanced at Hou Yong and signaled him to stay vigilant, while he slowly leaned over with his gun, walked closer and kicked the weapon on the ground into the opponent's reach, and then stretched out his hand and groped briefly around the opponent's waist.
Seeing that the two of them had indeed disarmed their weapons, they spoke, "What's the matter?" ”
"Friend, my teammate is injured and I hope to get your help." The man spoke.
Richard saw that Mu Chen, who was hiding in the dark, still didn't move, so he knew what he thought, the three of them were in the light and one in the dark, even if the two people in front of him had any moths, his side was more sure, so he was not ready to expose him.
Hand in hand with the man, he helped the injured woman to the car, and then checked the other party's injuries.
The woman was seriously injured, and there was a translucent hole in the lower left abdomen, and it was estimated that she had been attacked by some beast.
The man also briefly explained their situation.
It turned out that the two were two bounty hunters from Camp 1, the man was named Charles, and the injured woman was named Sophia.
Due to the lack of food, they had to go out hunting with a few friends, but who would have thought that the team was attacked by a group of one-horned wolves on the way back, and the three teammates fell one after another in the process of escaping, and nine times out of ten it became the dinner of the giant wolf.
The two of them were lucky enough to escape, but Sophia was still bitten by a giant wolf.
Just when they were exhausted, they found the bonfire they had set up, so they came to ask for help.
"My God, thanks to meeting you, otherwise Sophia and I wouldn't have survived tonight." Charles said to the three people around the campfire with a grateful face.
"You're welcome, it's a pleasure to help." Richard said with a wave of his hand, handing over a kettle.
Charles took the kettle and poured it a few times, before carefully helping Sophia to feed her water, and it could be seen that the two should be a couple or something.
"God will bless you, my friend." After drinking the water, Charles thanked him repeatedly.
Richard motioned for the other party to be polite, took out some alcohol and gauze from the car and bandaged the injured Sophia.
When they went out, they only prepared these simple first-aid medicines, and whether they could cure this injured woman or not depended on her own creation.
However, this kind of relief can be regarded as generous on the scarce Titan Star, and you must know that medicine is very scarce even in the larger Camp 1.
"I don't know how to repay you, my friend." Charles became more and more grateful, these people were simply angels sent by God to save himself and his girlfriend from fire and water.
"Okay, that's all we can do, do you need food?" Richard asked.
"Really? To tell you the truth, my friend, Sophia and I have been eating all day. ”
Richard handed them some food, and told them to rest early after eating, and to take them to Camp 2 early tomorrow morning, and to figure out how to return to their camp.
It is also a matter of course that Camp 1 and Camp 2 are in different directions, and it is impossible for these two strangers to run thousands of kilometers for no reason, and to deal with possible accidents on the road at any time.
It's fun to be able to take them on a ride.
"Thank you so much, my friend, if we return to Camp 1, we will definitely find a way to repay you." Charles said.
Given them two blankets, Richard set up his guard again, and then lay down again, but he did not sleep at all, and his right hand was still on top of the weapon beside him.
Because Mu Chen still did not show up, although it is not clear for what reason he has been wary of these two people, but out of his understanding of Mu Chen, Richard believes that there must be a reason for Mu Chen.
Hou Yong and Mu Shan, who were sleeping in the car, also tacitly did not fall asleep, and even carefully hid the dragon incense stone under the seat.
Charles and his wife at the campfire behaved very naturally, gobbling up the food, drinking a few sips of water and helping Richard add some firewood to the campfire before lying nearby and falling asleep.
Richard didn't see anything wrong, so he had to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, and he kept analyzing in his mind, the wound was real, even if it was a bitter meat trick, it wouldn't be so realistic.
The attitude of the two is also very good, and the gratitude on their faces is not like pretending, so what did Mu Chen see?
