Chapter 30: The Survival Game (17)
Yechen lay on the branch of the tree and waited patiently.
It's a trap, but it's a very hidden trap. Theoretically, the bush mercenaries would not have searched at night unless there were exceptional circumstances, and the chances of noticing the presence of a campfire in this half-blinded cave were slim. In other words, there is a high probability that all this that Yechen has worked so hard to arrange is useless.
But she did it anyway, just to test a guess.
From the moment he entered this mission world, Yechen felt that all the arrangements of this mission were aimed at them, the trialists—this sentence was a bit inaccurate, all the tasks were arranged for the trialists, but this mission was aimed at the psychology of these people.
It can be seen from the very beginning of the escort that the base camp has designed such a strategy by taking advantage of the inertial thinking that the trainer has just entered the mission world and does not dare to act rashly, which is really powerful for the psychological control of the trainer.
At first, Yechen knew that there were other Trialists designing the Bureau, and maybe the person in Leif Lab's base camp on the outskirts of the Kalinzan Forest was a Trialist.
But then she thought about it and felt unlikely. Putting herself in it, if she was in charge of the base camp and wanted to escort these anomalous people with important "research value" to the base camp, she would not have adopted this seemingly subtle method at all, but it actually took a lot of risk - just smash her arms and legs and transport them back, just break the bones, ordinary people can recover after a while, let alone the trialists.
This kind of subtle calculation, but the practice of leaving a way out, is not like the work of a trialist, but more like a design directly carried out by the seventh space.
This was Yechen's second official mission, and she didn't know how meticulously the seventh space controlled the mission, but she felt that her guess should be correct. In addition to the initial escort, ordinary mercenaries who are not good at jungle warfare were used as bait, and jungle mercenaries were arranged to surround and intercept the trainees...... These designs all have this feeling, the strategy is clever, but they all leave a way out, what else can this be if this is not the arrangement of the seventh space? It is not so much that the "trialist" in the base camp will think about the companions, and leave a trace of life for them, the trialists!
However, this is all just Ye Chen's speculation, and tonight's action is to verify this guess. According to her previous arrangement, those jungle mercenaries would not have discovered this place, but if they still made a patrol tonight and found this place, they could make a guess that the seventh space had interfered with this mission.
If that's the case, according to the means of the seventh space, the jungle mercenary who accidentally noticed the bonfire here should be just a lead, a decoy, and there should be someone in ambush behind him, just wait for himself to make a move, completely lock the position, and catch himself in one fell swoop.
Yechen checks the automatic rifle in his hand. If there is an ambush, it is not a wise choice to use firearms, which would be too much of a commotion. But if you don't use guns, how can you quickly get rid of those jungle mercenaries, with the kung fu of your own three-legged cat?
As for why he insisted on killing the jungle tester who was used as bait, it was also out of Yechen's considerations. This task is equivalent to them as the trialists fighting with the seventh space for means, strategies, and air games, the seventh space has omniscient and all-powerful information control, but it is not cheating, such as making the jungle mercenaries who capture them invulnerable, and suddenly sending them to their destination. In other words, in this game, there is a limit to the power that can be deployed in the seventh space.
Today, during the day, Yechen's whereabouts were discovered by a jungle mercenary team, and even if he sent a message to the base camp immediately after discovering it and mobilized manpower, he would not be there immediately.
Since it was a search, the distance between the jungle mercenary squads would not be too close, and according to Yechen's estimate, it would take two or three days for other mercenary squads to come over.
This gave Yechen a chance to finish off this team of trialists, so that her whereabouts could be concealed again. If it can't be solved, then try to kill the opponent, and if the number is too small, they can't stop themselves either.
Now it's up to the mercenary squad to send as bait - of course, based on the assumption that everything is right.
Yechen was waiting on the branch, the night was almost over, more than four o'clock in the morning, it was the darkest time of the day, two figures in the distance sneaked over quietly, if it wasn't for Yechen always paying attention to the surrounding situation, he couldn't find it.
Finally came, and a hint of brilliance flashed in Yechen's eyes, who had been waiting all night, just ...... It's a bit of a shame that there are only two people. On the other hand, the fact that there were only two people coming meant that the other jungle mercenary squads weren't coming, which was a good thing.
The previous jungle mercenary squad was divided into three squads: five, three, and two. The three-person squad was left with Carl alone, and the other two squads were well preserved. These two people are the members of the two-person squad: Andre and Bruce.
"I'm sure it's a campfire, but it's almost extinguished." Andrei put down the binoculars and said.
"Do you think people are in there?" Bruce asked.
Andrei pondered for a while, shook his head, and said: "It's hard to say, it's really hard to say, it may be inside, it may not be inside, if you don't go in and investigate, who knows!" ”
Bruce didn't answer, just stared at the cave in the distance, looked at the embers of the campfire that flickered with red dots, and said, "Which one do you think is more likely?" ”
"I'm inclined to have people out there," Andre said. ”
"Why?"
Andre sighed slightly and said, "It's been so long, don't you know about the anomalies we want to arrest?" They are cunning like foxes, and their methods are insidious and vicious. I've heard that some members of the mercenary squad have been turned back, but luckily the rest of the team found out in time and didn't get run away from the fat man. Otherwise, the plan to gather 13,000 people and prepare for seven days of arrest would probably have failed. You think such a person will be caught so easily? It's okay to find a cave to rest in the night, and it's okay to make a fire, but it's just so big and here, and the entrance of the cave is not seriously covered, do you think it's possible? In my opinion, the probability that the thirteenth target is in the cave is less than 10%, and the remaining 90% are likely to be gone. ”
"Are there only two possibilities?" Bruce smiled and said, "You say, is it possible that the target is hiding around and planning to wait for the rabbit?" ”
