28. Return to the cave
Shooting a flare into the sky again, Li Bayi gestured and asked the team to disperse and approach the corpse. He came to Lin Zhan's side and patted Lin Zhan's shoulder, who was panting with empty bullets.
I don't know if it's because of the flares, Lin Zhan's eyes are full of blood.
"Calm down." Li Bayi comforted softly. Just as the team member who arrived at the corpse on the opposite side gestured to safety, he said to Lin Zhan: "Let's go over." ”
Lin Zhan took a step forward, and suddenly leaned over, and Li Bayi on the side looked down and noticed that Lin Zhan's trouser leg was wet, and a bullet had been shot into his calf in the previous melee.
"Now is not the time to deal with it." Lin Zhan shook his head and staggered to the corpse with Li Bayi's support.
The tentative orc name is not wrong. The orcs had hideous faces and dark yellow complexions, and even the shortest one was more than two meters tall, with a thick body and arms as thick as thighs. When I got closer, I felt a foul smell.
The last remaining non-combatant pounced on him, a hint of frenzy on his face. Ignoring these ugly pieces of flesh and blood. His previous worries and fears were left behind by him. For such people, the discovery of new species is far more important than their own lives.
He crouched down next to the corpse and took out a device and took a tube of blood from the orc's body for testing.
The surrounding team members were naturally vigilant in the surrounding area, and the firing gun was handed over by Li Bayi to the other team members, and the non-stop firing kept bright, and he picked up the weapon next to the orc corpse, frowning and checking. Tossed it aside, picked up the night vision device that had been shattered by a stray bullet and looked over it.
The night vision device was deformed by the orc's head, and it was hit by a bullet, and it was no longer useful. The same style as himself suggests that it was taken from one of the two women.
If Evelyn and Ye Jingwen were not seen, they were probably taken back to the lair by the orcs. These guys are obviously cannibals.
"There's human DNA, it's supposed to be a mutated human being who has been irradiated. Can use guns, rudimentary tactics, and night vision devices, matching intelligence traits. The non-combatants spoke up. The records were then put into a wrist-mounted computer, and several pieces of metal the size of a fingernail were copied and handed to each person.
"This is where the geo-surveys and biological data we entered this time are preserved. Someone had to bring it back. One per person, just in case. ”
This is a necessary procedure for every exploration, a measure to avoid data loss. There is a lot of danger here, and no one can guarantee that they will not die. It's just that now it seems to be a kind of bloody cruelty.
The red light reflected on the faces of everyone present, all of them tired and vigilant. Lin Zhan, who was squatting next to the corpse and pondering, stood up at this time. Look around at the crowd.
Flares began to fall, and the light diminished. The surroundings gradually dimmed. One of the team members then fired another flare, causing the surroundings to light up again.
"I'm going to find Ye Jingwen."
The atmosphere was quiet. Everyone present knew the relationship between Lin Zhan and Ye Jingwen.
Lin Zhan continued: "I may not be a good captain, but I can't abandon her. Li Bayi, you lead the team back. Give me a day if I don't go back then ......"
"Just close the entrance."
Li Bayi stood up and walked to Lin Zhan's side. "I'll go with you to her."
"Nope." Lin Zhan flatly refused.
"Legs on me." Li Bayi grinned, and his eyes looked cynical under his black hair.
"Take me one." The other team members stepped forward one after another.
"This is my war. You don't have to be involved......"
"We also have an obligation to find the missing team members." Someone replied, in obscure Chinese.
After some argument, it was decided that a combatant would escort the researcher back to the old shipyard back to the real world. Others searched.
A red sun rose in the distance, and the light was not intense. But it's no longer pitch black. It's morning, and it's starting to lighten.
This is perhaps the only good news. The wilderness is gentle, making it difficult to hide people, especially large orcs. As long as there is enough light. There will be no occlusion in the field of view.
The six men left behind formed a tactical formation and began to search the wilderness.
The search didn't go well. Avoid assault and the team cannot be dispersed. Except for the animals that went out to feed, there was no other place in the wilderness. The locator was also slow to respond.
The wind swept through the bushes through the wilderness. As the sky grew brighter and the sun shone in the twilight, the wasteland had reached its brightest level of daylight.
"How did the orcs find us?" The team repairing in the wilderness suddenly heard the voice of Lin Zhan. He stopped, looked around, and his gaze became a little dazed.
He is not good at talking. Emotions are rarely expressed. Even the disappearance of the female scholar and his girlfriend only made him emotionally uncontrollable at the time. This kind of look is rare in him.
The surrounding team members are hurrying to eat, their ears pricked up to listen to their conversations.
"Smell?" On the side, Li Bayi held on to a dead tree and poured out the stones in his boots.
Lin Zhan shook his head: "If you attack us so early." There was no reason for us to stay in the moor for two days. ”
"What do you mean?" Li Bayi was stunned.
Lin Zhan looked at him: "Go back to the cave, there is a problem there!" ”
……
Snort-
Li Bayi lit a cold firework and held it high to illuminate the deep cave.
Shadows flickered. Tangled into a mass of hideous monsters. He asked Lin Zhan in a low voice, "How do you know that there is another cave next to our rest." ”
The exploration team has entered the cave within a dozen meters. Outside light cannot penetrate. A strange smell permeated the dark, damp cave, and the ground was littered with useless debris and corpses.
"They have night vision devices, which means that their vision is similar to that of a human. Since we can't see them, how did they find us. Lin Zhan squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt and rubbed it and said.
Li Bayi suddenly said: "We were stationed near their lair, so we were discovered." ”
"That's right." Lin Zhan found something, it was a small clod of soil condensed with liquid, dark in color. He stood up, and the act caused the wound on his freshly bandaged leg to reopen, and the blood was red and bandaged.
Lin Zhan's brows furrowed, and then he grabbed a large handful of dirt and smeared it on it to cover up the smell of blood, and it was too late for Li Bayi to stop it.
He didn't care about gesturing to the guards around him, and pulled out of formation and headed for the inside of the cave.
The cold fireworks were buried, and the team took night vision devices and walked out cautiously for dozens of meters, Lin Zhan suddenly made a gesture to ask the team members not to move.
"Click-"
A small sound suddenly sounded from behind the crowd, and one of the team members accidentally stepped on the animal skeleton and stomped on it. The team's face was bitter.
The team instantly crouched down against the wall and listened silently to the sounds inside the cave. After waiting for a few minutes and seeing nothing unusual, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Bayi walked to Lin Zhan's side and asked him what he had found. (To be continued......)
