Chapter 13: Searching for Voices
Soon, Sandru's second cigarette was gone, and he didn't mean to ask for it again, but got up from the cold stone and walked to the stone wall: "Don't talk about this, what are we going to do now?" We can't wait any longer, God only gave us three days, and now almost an hour has passed. ”
Yun Qi pinched off the cigarette butt in his hand: "It's almost time, it's time to go." ”
Sandru was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the other party meant.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, as if a huge gear was moving the mechanism to spin.
"Pyramid organs? It turns out that you were waiting for the pyramid mechanism to be activated. ”
Yun Qi smiled: "I just said, just sit down and rest." ”
With the help of the gears, the stone wall, which was more than a foot thick, rose on its own, freeing up a large area of space behind the wall.
However, there was no trace of a smile in the eyes of Yun Qi and Sandru, on the contrary, their eyes became solemn.
For as the stonewall mechanism was raised, they saw what was really going on: a mess in the deep, wide corridor, littered with broken stones and corpses lying in pools of congealed blood.
Here, there were fierce battles.
There are a total of six corpses, all of which have been cut off by sharp weapons such as heads and chests, and judging from the wounds, they are all masterpieces of one-hit killing.
Yun Qi finished examining the body and looked at Sandru with an inquiring gaze.
Sandru nodded and said, "This is indeed the place where the Predator ambushed, you see. ”
He pointed to a corpse on the ground that had been cut off from the waist, and in his hand, the assault rifle that was still tightly held, and said: "He is the only reincarnation among the six, he is very brave, and he took the initiative to ask for the reincarnation, but the Predator has high-tech equipment, and he has been invisible from beginning to end, that is, one-on-one is not their opponent at all, not to mention facing the siege of three iron-blooded people at the same time." ”
Sandru's words were full of admiration and regret, and finally he said: "That is a brave warrior, without him, perhaps more people would die here." ”
Yun Qi picked up the assault rifle in the deceased's hand and bowed his head and said, "You are right, he is very brave, and after being cut in half, he still emptied all the bullets in the magazine. ”
Unexpectedly, an hour before the mission began, a reincarnation was killed, adding an invisible shadow to this journey to the "other world".
It's not good to be a teacher!
When the rifle is in hand, Yun Qi's heraldic power sends back a string of information: without the right to use, you can't use the item, and you can't carry it.
Yun Qi suddenly turned his head and asked, "You just said that the Predators were invisible from beginning to end, so how did you know that they were three people, not two or four?" ”
Sandru was stunned for a moment, and then said: "In the movie Alien vs. Predator, did the Predator send a team of three?" I'm just extrapolating from the plot. ”
Yun Qi said: "You are right, it is three people. ”
This time it was Sandru's turn not to understand: "How can you be sure? ”
"Look at their wounds, two died from the disembowelment of a sharp blade, two died from the penetration of a javelin-like weapon, and two died from a large ordra torn by a flywheel weapon, bleeding profusely."
"Were you a former police officer?" Sandru said admiringly.
"Quite the opposite." Yun Qi gave a vague answer.
Suddenly, Yun Qi raised his index finger and put it to his lips, signaling the silence, listening to each other, and then arrived: "There is a gunshot." ”
Sandru said, "Why can't I hear anything? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight sound passed through the long corridor and entered Sandru's ears. The sound was not very real as it bounced off the echoes of the walls, but it was still audible as the pistol pin exploded after striking the bullet gunpowder.
"There is a situation!"
The two of them immediately followed the sound, and the sound came from a hidden side wall of the corridor.
"It's too high!" It was Sandru who spoke, and the secret side wall was not located at the level of the plane, but on a statue of a god (the Predator's idol) at a height of four meters.
"It's just taller than you." Yun Qi teased, found a few borrowing points on the statue of the Iron Blood, climbed with his bare hands, crossed a few vertically, and finally climbed to the platform where the hidden side wall was located.
"You know what? In the first place, those abominable Predators hid on this platform to sneak up on us. "Sandru's physique is obviously not as good as Yun Qi's, but with the double help of the skeleton warrior and Yun Qi, he finally climbed up without danger.
"You should be glad that the Predator's first target is not you, otherwise with your physique, you will only be killed in seconds." When Yun Qi pulled Sandru up, he obviously felt that the other party was not high in terms of strength attributes.
In fact, with his talent for insight, he can directly read Sandru's personal attributes, but insight is not omnipotent after all, as Bald Jack reminded him: while you read the information, the reincarnation can feel it somewhat.
This can only be a disadvantage and not a good thing in the early days when the two sides have just established a cooperative bond.
Trust is a two-way street, and Yun Qi doesn't want to arouse unnecessary suspicion because of his short-sighted behavior, especially in the task of invalidating the non-infringement contract.
As for the skeleton warrior who probed Sandru, it was another matter, Sandru couldn't sense Yunqi's insight from the summon's body.
"The voice is coming from here." Yun Qi pointed to a dark corridor.
Sandru didn't move his footsteps, but was very clever in commanding the skeleton warriors who had just climbed up and had not yet gained a foothold.
When faced with the unknown, it's not a good idea to risk yourself. At this time, skeleton warriors are the best way to find their way.
The skeleton warrior stretched forward Bai Sensen's right arm, only to see that with a few bone cracking sounds, a bone blade was quickly generated from the forearm close to the wrist, and in the darkness, the arm blade composed of high calcium was particularly conspicuous.
With a slight swing of his arm from the skeleton warrior, the black rag blocking the front was torn in two, revealing a hidden black hole passage.
"The sound is coming from here." Yun Qi was sure.
"Looks like a secret passage." Sandru commanded the skeleton warriors to enter first, "It's safe inside, do you want to enter?" ”
When he said this, Sandru hesitated. People are always afraid of the unknown, especially when this secret passage does not appear in the original plot.
According to the convention of reincarnation, it is better to touch less things that are beyond the plot of the movie, and many times, it will exceed your expectations. For example, Yun Qi replaced the Duke without authorization in "Special Forces", although the final benefit was multiplied by this, but the risk was also so great that it was almost unbearable, if Yun Qi was not lucky to have a special attribute - psionic energy, he would have escaped the control of nanoworms.
Therefore, Sandru, who has experienced a mission world more than Yunqi, seems to be worried when facing a plot that has never been there.
"If the hero and heroine are on the other side of the secret passage, do you want to risk yourself?" Yun Qi's clever words dispelled Sandru's worries.
Yes, if it is really like what Yun Qi said, giving up the opportunity in front of you is tantamount to putting yourself in an irreparable desperate situation, then it seems that the immediate risk is not difficult to bear.
"I have a problem," the passage was small and narrow, and the two had to bend over and hunch their backs, and the hapless skeleton warrior couldn't do the human movements, so he had to crawl forward. In this case, Sandru still has the leisure to ask.
"Your curiosity is very good at picking time," Yun Qi teased, his current posture is very uncomfortable: "Say, what do you want to know." ”
"I just want to know how you figured out where the sound came from. I'm sure the voice sounded too ethereal to be located. ”
"That's because you didn't have the help of instruments." Yun Qi stroked the nano electronic sunglasses, in the dark space, there was also a counterintuitive wearing of it, indicating a lot of things.
One, it has night vision; Second, call a variety of full-featured program software, including sound positioning (of course, you need to enter the corresponding audio receiving program in advance, which is not a problem for Yun Qi, who stole a large number of special forces materials).
Sandru is also a smart man, and when he heard this, he suddenly realized.
Come to think of it, the other party must have downloaded a sound capture system in the nano electronic sunglasses, and it is not strange to judge the location of the sound source according to the sound wave capture that is not easy to detect by humans.
"Are your sunglasses a rare item?" Sandru asked.
"Rare items?" Yun Qi asked.
That is, the silver plot prop, in layman's terms, is a specific prop in the mission world. Generally, there are only rewards for killing a specific story character or completing a super difficult task. Sandru explained.
"As a veteran of the mission world who has experienced one more mission than me, he knows a lot. As you said, the nano electronic sunglasses I wore were obtained from killing the Baroness in "Special Forces 1: The Rise of the Cobra". ”
"Sure enough, although Special Forces 1 is a rookie mission, the difficulty is far less than the official mission, but the baroness is also a plot character worth 4,000 points, which is not so easy to complete."
"What does that mean?" Yun Qi's heart moved, and he thought of something.
"It means that either your luck is extremely good, or your strength in the layout of the scheme is incalculable." Sandru said seriously.
"Why isn't it superior in combat?"
"Come on, man, you didn't choose Normal difficulty in this mission, which means that you are not confident enough in your own strength. This is not the quality of a strong person. Sandru replied.
To this day, he still thinks that Yun Qi chose the easy and difficult option.
Yun Qi didn't break it, but said: "Luck and strength are indispensable, maybe I have both." ”
This answer is not what Sandru wants, because saying it means not saying it.
The two laughed and entered the "tunnel", but there was a disagreement over who would enter first: Sandru insisted that his summoned skeleton was already in charge of the vanguard, and that he should have the right to enjoy the queen's palace; Yun Qi didn't see it that way, and insisted that Sandru shoulder the obligation of summoning his master and be responsible for his summons.
But Sandru's attitude was very resolute, and in the end, it was Yunqi who made a concession - it can be seen from the sonic feedback just now that the matter is urgent, and they are not allowed to talk about the details.
From this point, it can be seen that as a temporary team, the tacit understanding between the two has not reached the point of mutual trust, and no one wants to leave their backs to strangers who have just been in contact for less than half an hour.
If Yun Qi wasn't worried about Helena's safety, with his personality of only taking advantage and not taking losses, it would be impossible to compromise no matter what.
Like an invisible plague, mistrust spreads quickly between the two and makes them both choose to keep their mouths shut, and silence itself represents a silent protest against distrust.
The tunnel is deep and narrow, and an adult has to hunch over to move forward. And the skeleton warrior was already huge, and the cat was barely stuffed into Bai Sensen's spine.
For the smaller Yunqi and Sandru, walking like this is also not a comfortable thing, especially in the treacherous pyramid.
Once encountered, it is hard to imagine how they will face it in a narrow tunnel where it is difficult to turn around.
Almost halfway through, Sandru finally broke the embarrassing scene with a somewhat apprehensive tone: "You say, if there is an enemy now, won't we just have to wait for death?" ”
Yun Qi turned his head with difficulty and gave the necromancer behind him a roll of his eyes: "Then you can only pray for the blessing of the God you believe in." ”
Sandru said slightly angrily: "I believe in Yi/Si/Lan, not some bullshit God." ”
Yun Qi shrugged and didn't say anything.
But just now, when he unconsciously turned his head, an abrupt black shadow flashed in the corner of his eye, and the position was on Sandru's body.
Worst! It's an alien!
