Chapter 9: The Other Team
But this time it was okay, I only saw a few moving figures, about a few hundred meters away from us, in this kind of swamp, there is not much vegetation, so I can see it relatively clearly.
"Telescopes." I immediately extended my hand to the little brother.
The little brother immediately took out the telescope we bought before from his backpack and handed it over, took the telescope and looked over there, and immediately it was much clearer, there was indeed a team over there, it seemed, there were about 20 people.
I did the math carefully, and I remember that the proprietress said that they should have more than 30 people, right, it seems that they have also reduced their staff.
This broken swamp, there are strange things exaggerated to that extent, and it is normal to reduce the number of personnel, and if you think about us, it can be regarded as a third of the reduction.
From my side, it looks like they're studying something.
Among them, the one who attracted me the most was a woman in a red dress.
I can't see her appearance and age clearly through the binoculars, but her red dress, coupled with her lines, reveals her gender.
This person is indeed very special, in the whole team, she is the only one wearing red clothes, so it is very easy to recognize, Brother Hong doesn't know when he is also standing next to me with a telescope.
"That woman should be good." Brother Hong said.
I frowned, when was this time, and I still had the heart to think about whether the girl was good or not, so I ignored him.
Brother Hong probably saw that I didn't speak, and said, "I said, that girl is good, she should not look bad, but she can't see clearly." ”
"How do you know?" It can be seen that if I ignore him, Brother Hong is afraid that this sentence will be repeated many times today.
Brother Hong smiled and said, "Your Brother Hong has this ability, as long as you look at a shadow, you will know the situation of this girl, don't worry, there is no problem." ”
I smiled wryly, is this also a skill? But thinking about it, it seems to be okay, I said, "What's the use, even if it looks good, can it make us eat." ”
Brother Hong laughed twice again and stopped talking.
Suddenly, I noticed that the girl had turned to our side, and I could see clearly in the binoculars, and she made a shooting gesture towards us.
"I'll go!" I put down my binoculars and said in amazement, "How did she know we were looking at her at such a distance?" ”
Brother Hong obviously saw that scene as well, and then said, "They are ready to evacuate, she really has to see us?" It's so far, it can't be. ”
I raised the binoculars again, and sure enough, the other party was already messing around, and the girl was caught in the middle, if it weren't for her red clothes, maybe I wouldn't have seen her at all.
"We've got to get there." I handed the binoculars to the younger brother next to me.
Brother Hong patted me and said, "In the past, how to pass?" It's all winding roads, do you know which one is going that way? And what did you do in the past? Say hello to them, or are you going to pick up girls? ”
I gave Brother Hong a roll of his eyes, this guy doesn't know what is going on in his head at this time.
Brother Hong obviously saw the roll of my eyes and said, "What? Did you find something? ”
"They found their way, didn't you find it?" I immediately explained: "I saw them over there just now, it seems that they are looking for a route, and according to the proprietress of the hostess, there are many masters in their group. ”
Brother Hong slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, your kid has a good analysis, they arrived a day earlier than us, but we can still see them, which means that they are also looking for a way." That way, if we go to their place, we can shorten the time and even catch up with them. ”
I nodded, that's what I thought, although it's useless to catch up with them now, after all, there are so many of them that they can't fight.
But if you follow others, you can always get something cheap.
Just like Brother Hong said, at least we won't be so blind in choosing a route.
We immediately visually surveyed the distance and the route and walked along one of the trails.
It's not very far from there, and it stands to reason that we should be able to get there soon, but after walking around for a long time, and when we came to a platform at a three-way intersection, we realized that this broken place was completely different from the place we expected.
"What's going on?" Brother Hong asked, "I don't feel crooked." And we should be on the right track. ”
I was also a little confused, because I also thought that this direction should be correct, but this three-way road, obviously there are not so many traces of people passing by, and we are the first people to arrive here.
Brother Hong looked around, and then said, "What's the matter?" Are we not going the right way? ”
I shook my head and thought about it carefully, because the whole route was winding and winding, so it was normal for us to change direction sometimes, and it would be difficult to find the place where those people were just now from this direction.
Brother Hong put his arm around my shoulders and said, "I said brother, what should I do?" Another path? Or ......"
I looked at Brother Hong and said, "Is there a way out?" ”
"Let's go." Brother Hong looked at my expression and immediately waved his hand. This time we didn't do the signs, because it was useless to do them, and in this place, we obviously couldn't trust any road signs or anything.
I suddenly remembered the words of the proprietress that in this place, don't believe anything, it seems that it is really like this, and we can't even believe the distance and direction that our eyes see.
This place is a huge labyrinth, and nowadays, we are all trapped in this labyrinth and cannot get out.
For the whole morning, we kept going around this swamp, and I don't know how long.
And the other team, constantly appearing in front of my eyes, sometimes looking through the binoculars, it feels like you can grab them with just a stretch of your hand, but they just can't get there, what the hell.
And as soon as we looked through the binoculars, the girl in the line over there seemed to be a peek, always looking at us, intentionally or unintentionally.
From our side, it seems that they are still reducing their personnel, and I find that their personnel has been reduced to fifteen or sixteen, so it may be even more difficult for them to look at it.
Brother Hong also found out about this situation and asked strangely, "Why have their personnel been reduced so much?" ”
I'll go, you ask me, I ask whom, I've never encountered this situation again.
With a speed of attrition like theirs, it is estimated that they will all die if they can't get anywhere. But we shouldn't be much better, because we're stuck in this swamp now.
"Let's go." I said coldly.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going back." As soon as I finished speaking, someone responded. I turned my head to look, but it was a little brother.
Brother Hong became angry all of a sudden, walked up to the little brother, "snapped" was two slaps, and said, "What the hell are you talking about?" I still want to go back at this time. ”
The little brother actually cried all of a sudden, and it seemed that what happened during this period of time still hit him hard.
Brother Hong raised his hand, ready to give him another moment, but he didn't do it.
I sighed, and then looked at the other little brothers, and sure enough, they all had a little bit of a sense of retreating, and if they went on like this, their morale would dissipate before they reached the place.
Brother Hong probably also felt this situation, so he didn't make a move for a long time in the last time.
"You can go if you want to." I said lightly, as soon as I said this, the younger brothers all raised their heads to look at me, and even Brother Hong looked at me in surprise, wondering how I could say such a thing.
I gave Brother Hong a reassuring look, and then said, "But don't forget, there is that kind of monster on the way back, do we have a chance?" Now go back, if we encounter that thing, will we still be alive? ”
As soon as these words were said, those little brothers immediately showed expressions of fear, that kind of monster was indeed too frightening, killing people invisibly, and dying so miserably.
I looked into the distance and said, "Now we can only move forward, if we can join up with the opposing team, at the very least, they can take us out, right?" ”
No one spoke, and there was silence all around, except for a gentle breeze.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Brother Hong responded first: "That's right, we're not thinking about how to leave now, but thinking about how to come together, don't forget what I told you, even if you die, you have to die together, besides, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of." ”
No one responded, and a few younger brothers obviously had no idea, listening to our singing and talking, I felt a little bit of a backbone.
We hit the road again, but this time we were all silent, no one spoke, and Brother Hong and I walked at the front of the line.
Those little brothers are no longer reliable, and if we don't give them a little encouragement, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to persevere.
Brother Hong asked softly, "What should I do?" If this continues, I am afraid that before we reach the place, the people will disperse. ”
I thought about it for a moment, gritted my teeth and said, "Xu Yi is profitable." ”
Brother Hong thought about it, nodded, and said, "I have a way." Stop! ”
The last word was shouted loudly, and everyone stopped. Brother Hong looked back and sneered.
"Brothers, Brother Hong will give you a word now, if you go in this time, you can pack the treasure yourself, how much you can load, that's your ability. However, you must follow us, for only by following us can you enter and go out. ”
The younger brothers looked at each other, not knowing why Brother Hong suddenly said such a sentence.
Brother Hong deliberately whetted people's appetites, and then saw that the attention of the younger brothers was concentrated, so he said: "After coming out, Brother Hong promised you that only one percent of the road fee will be charged, and the rest of the money, how much you can earn depends on your own." ”
As soon as he said this, the eyes of those little brothers obviously lit up.
Brother Hong's words are very easy to understand, we only charge a labor fee, and the rest is their own.
According to the proprietress of the proprietress, you can eat three of them for three generations, which is too much wealth.
The little brothers immediately cheered in unison, and two of the bold ones had already walked in front of us, and I glanced at Brother Hong, this time, it was flickering again.
