Chapter 30: Death's Cloak
"The flying beetle's nest isn't far away, you mean, their nest is in the valley, right?" Linnie has no choice but to stop her passionately hot partner.
"That's what it means, but I'm not sure." Chen replied reassuringly.
"Now that you know, you still have to chase after it? Don't you know? Fishmen's long-range sniping is suitable for shooting large insects, but not for large and small flying beetles. Even if you were to find the nest of flying beetles, what could you do to destroy them would be a pure worthless adventure. Linni completely forgot the initial embarrassment, a serious lesson, she was accepting Chen Fang's talent step by step, helplessly, Chen Fang's every choice was too crazy, so she had to question.
"Let's see." Chen Fang said very seriously.
"We're partners, aren't we? When you decide to take risks, you should at least let me know what to do. Linnie changed her coldness, her tone was unexpectedly calm, as a partner in life and death, her request was not excessive.
Chen Fang replied casually: "I don't know where the flying beetle's nest is, the situation is unknown, I can't talk about a plan, I can only tell you to see, but I think there may be a harvest." ”
Linny thought for a moment and actually compromised: "I think what you said makes sense, but my intuition tells me that you have something to hide from me." ”
Chen Fang firmly believes that the truth of seeking wealth and danger is caused by special experience, for him, every success has to pay several times the efforts of others, and has to experience difficult setbacks, and over time, habit has become natural. However, he would never take unnecessary risks.
The fish-man hid on the top of the mountain, and then used the electronic focus to patiently search the valley, the flying beetle was huge, and the vegetation could not help but be destroyed in the place where it passed, and the ground was also marked with terrifying traces, and along these traces, it was easy to find the location of their nest.
Deep in the valley, at the bottom of the rocks, hides a black fissure, bottomless. Just in case, Chen Fang continued to carefully search the canyon until he was able to determine that this was the only place where the flying beetle might disappear. On one side of the digital pattern, it is clear that countless flying beetles are hiding underground, and judging from their distribution, the bottom of the valley is hollow, radiating, and stretching far in all directions.
As the scope continues to move, the system prompts that the task of scouting the nameless valley has been completed, the task of finding the nest of the flying beetle has been completed, and the rewards of the two tasks are randomly assigned to the team.
Although she knew that these meritorious values did not belong to the team and would eventually be assigned to Chen Fang personally, Linni didn't care, she only saw that the team's ranking was pushed to the top, the interests of the team were above all else, and the good quality made her always consider the overall situation, including the compromise with Chen Fang, mercenaries are a high-risk industry, not democratic, as a former leader, she knows better than anyone that a team only needs one leader, and her compromise is to default to Chen Fang's leadership status, even if it is only temporary.
Linnie has to admit at this moment, it is wise to take a look first and then talk about it, perhaps, the flying beetles are not invincible, for example, try to close the exit and trap them alive in the underground cave, however, it is not easy to block the entrance to the cave, and the sleeping flying beetles may be alarmed at any time, once they come out of the nest, it is their own death.
The second option is to find other mercenary groups to cooperate and block the entrance of the cave with strong firepower, in short, holding the hole twenty meters wide, you can solve the flying beetle by slaughtering, and unconsciously, she is thinking about strategy in a way that is old.
"This landform is formed by groundwater erosion, and the most conservative estimate also has two outlets, and from the context seen so far, there are at least ten or more outlets." Chen Fang seemed to see her thoughts, and casually analyzed, tearing her plan to shreds.
Linni was still unwilling, and suggested: "Why don't we investigate first, maybe it's not so much, it's really not good, and we can find other mercenary groups to cooperate." ”
Chen Fang said while thinking about it: "That's a waste of time, and I don't want to cooperate with other mercenary groups." ”
Linnie reminded: "It is unlikely that you want to monopolize the merit points, and your personal power is limited after all. ”
"I never thought that insects were our opponents, our opponents were other mercenary groups in the rankings, besides, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like allies, and you are not the only ones who know how to choose partners." Chen Fang drove the fishman and turned around and walked out of the valley.
"You're going to give up?" Except for a little unwillingness, Linnie didn't have much feeling, after all, the team obtained 9,500 merit points, which was already very satisfying, and she couldn't imagine a way to deal with the flying beetle.
"It's not." Chen Fang said that there was no follow-up halfway through, although he knew that Linny had the right to know the plan, but the past experience told him that it was better to do what he said, for a person who was unlucky to the point of pitiful, no matter how perfect the plan could fail, instead of boasting and being ridiculed after failure, it was better to prove everything with actions.
The requirements for aging are very simple, a large amount of insect meat, no need to peel off the shell, just the corpse.
It wasn't cost-effective for the Eye of Sauron to hunt down small zergs, and the mission ended up on Linnie's shoulders, and to her surprise, she didn't ask why, and with the help of her two short guns, she immediately threw herself into a swift and effective kill.
The perfect kill was more pleasing to the eye than any dance, and Chen Fang was still embarrassed to appreciate Linny's elegant and ferocious kill again. Her beautiful ability to stay in the air makes her dance like a butterfly when she jumps, and her two short spears are as sharp as a bee sting. Although it was born from Chen Fang's double-gun flow tactics, when she used it, it was a little less control and a little more stretch and beauty.
Due to the fragile physique, Chen Fang was destined to not be able to start with speed and agility, and it was because he couldn't do it that he yearned, and Linnie had extraordinary potential in the direction he aspired to.
Linnie definitely has the ability to be among the stronger mercenary teams, the current rank does not represent her strength, or rather, the existing team restricts her performance, no wonder Jack spares no effort to persuade her to join.
By the time Chen Fang was stunned, she had already hunted enough insects.
"That's enough." Chen Fang said to stop it, his original intention was not to slaughter the weak Zerg, but to find bait.
"Now, what's the use of asking for these corpses?" Linnie was still unsatisfied, and raised her hand to shoot the last two bugs.
"I'm not pretending to be mysterious, I just don't like to brag, even if you don't ask, I'm going to say it." Limited to physical strength, Chen Fang still asked Linni to move the corpse of the insect in one place, and the woman did the work while the man watched, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Waiting for Linnie to finish everything, he took out a thumb-thick, light blue storage tube, opened it, slowly and evenly poured the culture liquid inside on the small hill-like insect corpse, and explained while working: "This is a fungus, the star hunter found it in the outer lands and brought it from the native planet to other places, who knew that this fungus would quickly multiply and evolve into a disaster as soon as it arrived on another planet." In just two years, a pristine planet full of life has been transformed into a barren land. The place he covered would turn into a gray patch, and all life would be lifeless, and people would give him the figurative name of the mantle of death. ”
The use of fungi to kill insects is not new, and Linny has heard of it before, but there is always a child's play feeling when dealing with fierce flying beetles, besides, this fungus kills more than just insects, using the cloak of the Grim Reaper, shouldn't it be to turn Hall Star into a barren land?
Although the issue of environmental protection is not mentioned in Hall's commission with the Mercenary Association, weapons of mass destruction are prohibited in all missions, including warfare, especially biochemical weapons, because the catastrophe caused by biological weapons is often not a period of time, but a complete destruction.
