Text Chapter 149 Alien Island 8
"What?" Su Hao and Odonio looked at Qiu Yu in surprise at the same time.
"It's basically a trap here, and since it's a trap, if you want to give full play to the value, of course, you have to ensure that after it is launched, it won't be hidden and exposed because someone is alive. Odonio could have thought of sending someone to investigate first, and the trap maker would have thought of that. And Su Hao's carefulness is more likely to make the trap not play a big role, which will also be something that the other party needs to worry about. The only way to compensate for these problems is to put us in a trap without realizing it, and then we can go to the door and trigger it ourselves, and then get all killed. ”
Odonio looked at his feet and subconsciously pushed a few steps back, "You mean to say that this crater for several kilometers is all used to attract our attention, and the actual range of the trap has extended into the jungle behind us?" ”
"It's quite possible." There was some fear in Su Hao's tone, "The defensive distance between strangers is 30 centimeters, which is a habit that is instinctively formed. However, the guard distance against dangerous objects cannot be standardized, and it is completely based on the judgment of the current situation in one's own mind, and the standard is temporarily formulated. Now the distance of nearly one kilometer is enough to make many people let down their guard, not to mention that there is such an obvious big hole. It's a strong psychological implication that outside of a big pit is a safe place. No matter how many people came, no matter how careful they were, the most they were, like me, camp at the edge of a large pit that was easy to observe and safe enough...... If it hadn't been for Qiu Yu's reminder, I would have almost been fooled......"
"Not really." Qian Xiao wailed, "These aliens have obviously occupied an absolute advantage, and they are still so careful to create traps to trap and trap us......"
Qiu Yu said, "This is a battle to bet on the survival of civilization, even if the other party underestimates us, there will be no shortage of smart and careful guys among them." ”
"But in terms of difficulty, there must only be one landing chamber, but if this is a trap, what is that thing in front of you?" Su Hao had already begun to quickly mobilize his caution to the extreme.
"Since it's a landing pod, there must always be something that needs to be discarded after landing, right? And they probably just put what should have been discarded and reused it. ”
"Damn......"
This part of the content has been determined, and Su Hao quickly turned around to arrange the retreat.
A few minutes later, Qian Xiao looked enviously at the soldiers who were walking back, and on the other hand, they were still looking back with countless strange eyes that seemed to be monopolized by a few of them, and muttered again and again, "I don't know what to do, I don't know how to ...... it."
After arranging the task of retreating, Su Hao quickly returned to Qiu Yu's side, and asked in a background voice with Qian Xiao's muttering, "Can you be sure what kind of trap it is?" ”
Su Hao would ask this sentence, it was completely a subconscious act of grasping the life-saving straw in an uneasy situation, and he didn't expect Qiu Yu to come up with an answer without any clues. But after he said this, an illogical reasoning arose in his heart for no reason - Qiu Yu is not an ordinary human, so maybe he can know something.
In fact, Qiu Yu also answered to the stunned Su Hao as a matter of course.
"This trap is prepared for us, so in order to prevent the animals from causing waste and damage to the trap, the trigger device of the trap must be on the thing in front of it, and it will only be triggered by intelligent beings. And the way the trap kills...... It shouldn't be a one-time self-destruct method like an explosion. Qiu Yu slowly sprinkled the soil back to the ground from between his fingers, "In such a vast pit, there are no animals moving, and there are very few plants, but the soil is quite fertile. This thing arrived here forty years ago, and even if the plants were destroyed by the impact of landing, it would be unusual that no new plants had occupied this place for forty years. If animals don't come here because they don't have food, then plants don't come here because they ......"
Qian Xiao finally stopped muttering resentfully, and interjected, "These soils are full of poison. ”
Akiha, "...... If the soil is full of poison, does this trap still make sense? And don't you see that there is still some grass in front of you. ”
"Otherwise, there is a deadly virus in these soils."
"Then the animals here are dying."
"It's a virus that specifically targets human genes."
"They kidnapped humans before the game to study, huh?"
"It's not ...... anymore"
"Alright." Although he knew that Qian Xiao should be using his own methods to relieve everyone's tension, Odonio was a person who used tension as his strength, and he was not in the mood to listen to him and Qiu Yu pull down, "If you delay any longer, they may not even have scum left in the Nine-Tails." ”
Qiu Yu nodded, "Then back to the point, there are no plants here...... There aren't many plants because there's no food for plants here either. ”
"Soil and moisture?"
Su Hao wanted to dig up the soil to see, but he was afraid of causing any problems, so in the end he just looked forward to Qiu Yu's answer.
Qiu Yu continued, "The fact that grass grows here already shows that there is no problem with the soil itself, and weeds should be regarded as the smallest plants among all plants, as long as a little thin soil and a small amount of water can grow, so only a small number of weeds grow here and no other plants grow, probably because the soil is very thin." But next to the crater is a large jungle, and there is no way that there is much difference in the geographical structure, and there is no sign that the heat has damaged the soil. In this case, there is only one answer - the soil here is all pressed underneath, and the empty space is only new soil washed by the rain on top of that layer. ”
Su Hao was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, "You mean to say that this pit is a deceptive thing, and the whole big pit that looks like it was caused by the impact is simply a part of the stripping material of their landing warehouse!" ”
"If you look at it in the context of traps, that's how it should be." Qiu Yu picked up a quick thumb-sized chunk of mud from the ground and threw it forward, "Their pot-lid-shaped peel is a necessary condition for the trap. On the one hand, it can be disguised as an ordinary pit created by the impact, and on the other hand, it is also to suppress the growth of plants, so as not to cause damage to the trap by the surrounding flora and fauna, and more importantly, this large area is an important part of the trap. ”
Although he knew that every word Qiu Yu said might be the truth of the matter, Odonio still couldn't wait to hear the truth, "What is the trap?" ”
"The more delicate the thing, the easier it is to break, and this trap set up according to the minimum standard of 40 years of use must be strong and durable, and we cannot see that it is a trap, and the soil on the ground is so thin......"
"Damn, the underground trap......" Ordonio spat hard in the direction of the pseudo-landing chamber, "Then the people around this cauldron lid shouldn't be able to fall in, right?" ”
Qiu Yu habitually laughed again, "Because they want us to think so." When they laid this trap, they had already left room for slightly more intelligent humans to let their guard down on those who had seen through the underground trap, and after this trap, there was a second, more deadly trap. ”
Qiu Yu spread his hand in front of the eyes of several people, because he had grabbed the dirt just now, so Qiu Yu's hands were a little dirty now, but it was precisely because of the dirty hands as the background that several people could see that there was a spider-like filament on his hand, "This is the deadliest thing." ”
"This thing? What is it? Su Hao curiously picked up this filament that was almost invisible to the naked eye from Qiu Yu's hand, but after getting it to his hand, he found that both ends of the filament were still in places that he couldn't see.
"It's kind of like the kind of fish I've caught, connected to each other, only this one is finer." Qian Xiao wrinkled his face and took some from Su Hao's hand, and then stretched his fingers, the filament was as tough as real spider silk, and it was not broken, but it was not as sharp as Qian Xiao thought, it would cut his fingers, "This thing doesn't look lethal." ”
"You can see the lethality at a glance, is this still a trap laid by relying on the wisdom of the entire civilization? Try and see if you can find the heads of these filaments. ”
Qian Xiao Yingyan took two steps in the direction of the big pit with the filament, and then immediately turned around and walked in the opposite direction. To others who couldn't see the filaments, Qian Xiao was like playing Tai Chi, leisurely strolling around. But contrary to his leisurely movements, the expression on his face became more and more stiff.
Two minutes later, Qian Xiao shook his hand and returned to Qiu Yu's side sweating profusely, "I can't find it...... The head of this filament could not be found at all. ”
"It's only been a few minutes and you're trying to find its head, and at your speed, it will take months to say the least." Seeing Qian Xiao open his mouth, Qiu Yu continued, "But you don't need to look for me to know that both ends of this and other filaments are in this pseudo-landing warehouse or underground. As soon as the falling trap is touched, the filaments will be tightened immediately, and then the inside of the pit and the surrounding jungle will be cut into small pieces, small pieces of minced pieces. ”
Qian smiled and wiped his sweat, "How is it possible?" You still haven't figured out where this thing's lethal power comes from. ”
"It's not lethal now, but it's there after it's tense."
"Tight?" Odonio carefully took the filament that was still in Su Hao's hand, and then grabbed one end with the fingers of both hands and pulled it to both sides. But the section, which was less than two centimeters long, was pulled by him to the point that his arm span could no longer be stretched, but the filament was still unbroken, or reached the so-called taut level.
Frowning, Odonio pulled a dagger out of his boot and cut it towards the filament. But the sharp dagger cuts on the filament that can be stretched endlessly, and it is not forced at all, no matter how you make it, you can only pick up the filament.
