Chapter 29: The Ghoul Hunt (5)
Lu Xun set up his binoculars, and from his angle, he could see the cage underneath very clearly, and the trap to catch the ghouls was fixed on a prefabricated cement slab about thirty meters below him...... Lu Xun and Zhao Gao were lying on the balcony on the third floor, covered with gray ponchos, this position had an excellent view, and the two of them rushed out, with a viewing angle of more than 180 degrees. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Gao glanced at his watch, and the time was 7:40 in the evening.
There was no moon in the sky, the clouds were thick, and it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.
"Hey...... Are there really ghouls? Lu Xun asked softly, he squinted his eyes and searched, everything under the low-light night vision device was black and white, like an image of an old-fashioned black-and-white TV, "I didn't see anything." ”
"A little patience." Zhao Gao shook his head, "Ghouls don't swagger over in jeeps. ”
Lu Xun yawned, put down the binoculars in his hand, and rubbed his eyes.
"If you can't hold on, you can get some sleep first." Zhao Gao lay on the side, "I'll keep vigil." ”
Lu Xun shook his head, "It's okay, I can handle it." ”
Zhao Gao and Lu Xun did not return to the station, they chose to spend the night outside, guarding the edge of the trap to observe the movement, they need to confirm whether the creature that ate the bait last night is not a ghoul...... This is undoubtedly extremely risky, and being exposed to a ruined city in an unprotected state is as dangerous as walking on the African savannah. The first prohibition of the safe zone is that no one is allowed to trespass into the restricted area, let alone stay overnight in the restricted area...... Zhao Gao and Lu Xun violated the rules of heaven when they came up, and if the colonel knew about it, these two two goods would inevitably have a stinking meal and a week's confinement package.
Lu Xun was in charge of keeping an eye on the cage, and Zhao Gao concentrated on observing the surrounding environment.
Unlike Lu Xun, an inexperienced novice, Zhao Gao knows very well how dangerous the forbidden area at night is, they now have no off-road vehicles or laser mines, and they only have a poncho on their bodies, in the eyes of hunters, these are two pieces of fat meat on the board, the meat is delicate and watery, compared with the infected person's decades-old cured meat, they are like a medium-rare California veal steak, and they don't have teeth when they eat it.
You can hear the silence all around, but that doesn't mean it's safe.
In this city, a hunter can come out at any time from any direction.
The so-called "lurkers" are named because they are good at stealth and sneak attacks, they can jump through the floors without making any sound, and in many cases, sight and hearing alone are not enough to spot these monsters hiding in the shadows...... Zhao Gao relied on intuition.
This beastly intuition could make him smell danger in the air, and Lu Xun, a stunned young man, naturally couldn't do such a meticulous and precise thing, so Lu Xun was in charge of watching the cage, and Zhao Gao was monitoring the surrounding environment.
The surrounding environment is very complicated, this is a residential area, surrounded by residential buildings, dozens of high-rise buildings are neatly arranged, the interior of the residential buildings is corridors and rooms extending in all directions, as complex as a beehive, it is undoubtedly the best hiding place for infected and hunters, Zhao Gao is almost certain that there is definitely a hunter in this vicinity...... But he didn't know where the hunter was.
Spending the night in the hunter's territory is a game of death.
Zhao Gao's gaze swept across the residential building opposite, the tall building stood like a huge ant nest in the night, and those black doors and windows were the dense holes on the ant nest.
Speaking of which, human buildings are similar to ants in some ways, both of which are connected by slender passages that connect independent and small spaces, and dense ants enter and exit from the ant nest, isn't it like the flow of people into this huge city?
Lu Xun beside him suddenly shook his body, the telescope almost fell off his hand, Zhao Gao came back to his senses, and was secretly surprised that he could still have such an unbalanced association just now in such a tense situation.
Lu Xun almost fell asleep, he rubbed his eyes and took a deep breath, patted his face, and cheered up.
"How?" Zhao Gao asked, "Can you still hold on?" ”
"It's okay...... It's okay. Lu Xun blinked, "I've been a little tired lately." ”
Zhao Gao nodded, he lay on the floor, and the slightest vibration passed down the ground into his palm...... Something was moving nearby, and Zhao Gao's heart tightened.
At this time, it is definitely not a good stubble to come out for activities.
"Pay attention......" Zhao Gao gently tugged at the corner of Lu Xun's clothes, and erected a food signal to be quiet, "There is something." ”
Lu Xun was startled, and reached under him and pulled out a pistol.
"Is it a hunter?" Lu Xun asked with a lip shape.
Zhao Gao shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, he put his ear to the floor and closed his eyes.
There was indeed something moving nearby, and the vibration generated by the movement of the thing was transmitted along the reinforced concrete, but the vibration was too weak for Zhao Gao to judge how far away it was from him.
Zhao Gao frowned...... The situation is not optimistic, he cannot control the movements of the other party, and a hunter hiding in the shadows is extremely dangerous.
Lu Xun suddenly stabbed Zhao Gao's arm.
"Don't touch me......," Zhao Gao whispered, "I'm looking for that thing......"
"I don't know if you're looking for that thing......" Lu Xun tucked the binoculars into his arms and muttered.
Zhao Gao was stunned and set up the telescope.
The nylon cloth cage under the low-light night vision device is dark gray, and it still stands on a prefabricated cement panel, making it indistinguishable from the daytime...... But then Zhao Gao held his breath.
The cage moves!
The nylon cloth was propped up, and it was clear that something was moving in it.
"When did it get in?" Zhao Gao asked.
Lu Xun shook his head, "I didn't see it." ”
Zhao Gao stared at the trap deadly, he was waiting...... Wait for the creature in the cage to finish eating the bait and show its head.
Lu Xun also held his breath, he looked at the trap from afar, suppressing the excitement in his heart, it was like a field worker looking for a Siberian tiger, they set up a camera in the hope of catching the tiger's movements, and now a big cat finally broke into their field of vision...... Everyone was excited. Lu Xun couldn't take his eyes off it, the creature in that nylon cage at the moment might be the target of their trip.
If it does, then they make a fortune.
The cage gradually quieted down, and Zhao Gao and Lu Xun waited for ten minutes, but nothing showed up.
"It's ...... What's going on? "Land Patrol Probe," why hasn't it come out yet?" ”
Zhao Gao pursed his lips and said nothing, he put down the binoculars, got up and lifted the poncho, and jumped directly from the balcony.
"Hey...... Zhao Gao, wait for me......" Lu Xun jumped down after him.
The two rushed up to open the cage, both stunned.
The bait disappeared again, and Zhao Gao squatted down and reached out to touch the inside of the nylon cloth...... It's a hand full of mucus again.
