It wasn't too difficult to convince Chapman to change course: he had no idea which line of defense to take, and he hadn't told him that the change was about getting closer to Kong, not away from it. The Major hesitated, he still couldn't get in touch with Packard or anyone else, and he didn't want to get too far away from the Sea Stallion.

Nevertheless, he followed them on his way, spending the rest of the day searching for the untraceable beast.

They found many traces of it, huge footprints, broken trees, upturned dirt, and so on, some old, some very new, making it seem that it might have just left for a while. But until it was completely dark, they did not establish direct visual contact with it.

This result was not satisfactory, especially He Xie, who felt that the situation on the island was becoming strange, and even suspected that King Kong was consciously avoiding them.

When he stopped to camp, he revealed the doubts in his heart to Qin Lang.

Among the remaining two members of the team who seem to have normal brains, it is difficult to approach, only Guo Bo can talk to him normally, and He Xie's choice is only Qin Lang.

He got a reassuring smile.

"You're just too tired, but it's okay, you can forget those thoughts after a good night's sleep." Qin Lang patted him on the shoulder, and then told him, "I talked to Guo Bo, I and him, plus Chapman, are in charge of the first half of the night, you and Mo Fei, and Lynch are in charge of the second half of the night." ”

He Xie didn't like this arrangement, he and Lynch lacked the ability to defend themselves, even if there was Mo Fei, most of them would not have any effect, it was best to make a little noise before dying to remind others to pay attention. But he didn't object, and regardless of whether it would have an effect, it was the best decision they could think of. As Qin Lang said, he was too tired, he had probably walked more than in the past month, his legs were as heavy as lead, and he was able to persevere until now completely dependent on determination and perseverance, but as soon as he stopped, they immediately disappeared without a trace, and he just wanted to sit down immediately, and then he would lie down, and in a few seconds he would be unconscious, and no one would ...... Dare to put him in the middle of the night.

That way, even the noise making effect will be gone.

Of course, Lynch was too—in fact, when He Xie looked back at him, the man was already snoring rhythmically by the fire.

He couldn't help but sigh. "It's a ......"

Qin Lang used a gesture to stop him, and finally said, "Have a good dream." ”

With that, he walked away.

He Xie stared at his back for a while, threw away the rifle in his hand, and lay down on the spot.

He began to dream.

He dreamed that he was back at home and continued to chase the MiG he was chasing before entering the world of reincarnation, and strangely enough, its manipulator seemed to be a different person, and he couldn't bite it with all his might, but was thrown away by it with a series of dazzling and complex movements, and then it suddenly turned sharply, cutting into his six-point position before he could react.

Stranger things happened.

He Xie suddenly found that the sky on both sides of him was illuminated by the light of tracer bullets, and the display, mouse, and keyboard in front of him also turned into sights, instruments, and joysticks, all of which were shaking violently. Then a red light came on, and he heard a piercing siren, so he instinctively grabbed the ejection handle between his legs and ejected himself into the cabin. A black MiG sped past him, and at that moment, he was surprised to find that he could see its pilot: he was wearing the helmet of a TIE pilot, and he was turning his head, and then the helmet shattered, revealing Mofei's face.

He Xie was awakened.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the same face as Mo Fei.

"It's our turn." He announced indifferently and left.

"How long did I sleep?" He Xie asked, but did not expect anyone to answer. He straightened up and looked around, the fire had been extinguished, and there was only a little ash left that emitted residual warmth, only the aurora in the air could provide a little light, and finally he could only see some vague shadows.

So he understood that this was the working environment that he needed to face in a while: cold, dim, and lonely.

"Hopefully nothing will happen." He Xie whispered to himself, picked up the M16, got up and walked towards Mo Fei. He had woken up Lynch, but it was clear that Lynch didn't want to be woken up.

"At the very least, the fire should be lit." He stamped his foot, "It's too cold. ”

Mo Fei didn't care about his complaints at all. "You're there." He pointed out a spot for Lynch, perhaps a few meters away from the embers of the fire, and then led He Xie to the other side. "You're here. Be vigilant. "If there's any movement, don't hesitate to shoot first." ”

He didn't say that to Lynch. He Xie suspects that this probably means that in his mind, he is more important than Lynch—maybe slightly more useful than Lynch.

Seems like a good thing?

As soon as He Xie had this thought, he heard Mo Fei's warning: "Don't let me down. ”

I don't know why, He Xie had a trace of fear.

"I won't." He hurriedly promised.

"We'll see." Mo Fei had already indicated his attitude, so he didn't say any more, and turned to his place. He Xie hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to stop him.

He has a question. "Can I move around?"

"Don't go too far." Mo Fei looked at him reflexively. "They've set some traps all around."

"Oh." He Xie nodded and did not speak again. He was aching and still exhausted, and he hadn't planned to go too far, just trying to stay active if necessary in case he fell asleep again. Since Guo Bo and Qin Lang - and perhaps Chapman - were not idle when they were in charge of guarding, he could only honestly confine his range of activities to a small but safe area.

It's not that hard. He told himself, wrapped his coat tightly and began to do his duty.

At first, he was able to concentrate on his task, but after all, he was just an ordinary person with little training, and after a while, his attention was no longer focused, although he didn't doze off, he couldn't detect the movement around him, and even if he reappeared next to him, it would take him a while to react.

He was so worried that he thought he had discovered his dereliction of duty, but he was just attracted by something else.

"Something is staring at us." He said calmly, which surprised He Xie.

"What's that?"

"A skeleton monster."

Fear immediately captured He Xie's heart. "I didn't see ......"

"You don't have to blame yourself, it's far away from us and well hidden. But there it is, observing the situation, assessing threats, planning an offensive. Mo Fei declared with certainty, as if he could see every movement of the cunning enemy hidden, and knew its every thought.

He Xie took a breath of cool air. "I'm going to wake up the others."

"Remember to remind my friend that his mega jackpot came to the door on his own." Mo Fei sneered, and it was extremely rare to show emotions other than indifference.

But now He Xie can't manage so much. He hurried back to the fire, and woke everyone up one by one: Qin Lang, Guo Bo, Chapman, and finally Lynch—who seemed to have abandoned his duties a long time ago—and told them bluntly without waiting for anyone to speak: "We have won the jackpot, and the lieutenant colonel has found a monster." ”

He used metaphors to remind Guo Bo without making Chapman suspicious, otherwise he would ask why they knew it was called a Skeleton Monster.

He thought that Guo Bo would be overjoyed, but this madman who had always wanted the super jackpot just dropped a sentence of "WTF" and hurried to Mo Fei's side with Qin Lang, leaving behind Mr. Major, who was still unknown.

"Monsters?" Chapman looked into the distance, "I didn't see that gorilla. ”

"It's not it, it's something else."

"Other monsters?"

"I'm afraid so, Major."

Chapman looked at it for a few more seconds, and all he got was more confusion. "I still haven't seen anything."

"The lieutenant colonel saw ......" He Xie hesitated for a moment, and finally put on an attitude of "whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway", "I believe in the lieutenant colonel's judgment." ”

"Okay, let's go take a look." Chapman looked a little helpless: in his opinion, since He Xie was a stupid recruit with little actual combat experience, it was not surprising that he had an almost blind trust in his superiors. He has seen a lot of such people, and if he meets a good chief, he will upgrade his trust to worship, but if he meets a bad chief, it will not be long before he thinks about shooting the chief in the back or throwing grenades in his tent.

The Major only hoped that it would be someone who belonged to the former category.

He took He Xie to Mo Fei, and saw him raising his gun to aim halfway, and the two immediately quickened their pace, just in time for Mo Fei to shoot the first three shots.

The roar of the beast in the distance made Chapman realize that there was indeed some kind of extraordinary ability. Now he wondered if the strange lieutenant colonel's marksmanship was as good as his eyesight.

"You hit?"

Mo Fei didn't speak, still maintaining a posture of aiming and shooting. His mind was fully focused on his target, and the muzzle of the gun moved slowly but steadily to the right, followed by several more bursts of three shots. His shooting rhythm is well controlled and precise, making the monster scream more every time.

He definitely hit. He Xie guessed that the skeleton monster must be in pain.

He began to fantasize that it would retreat.

His fantasies lasted only a short time - he announced the opposite of what he had expected in a chilling voice of indifference. "It's coming."

He didn't continue shooting because he had to switch to a new magazine, and despite the fact that it only took a short time and his posture didn't change a bit, the Skeletron felt like he had found his chance......

Possible.

Whatever the reason, the successive roars showed that the monster was approaching. In He Xie's sight, a vague shadow suddenly appeared, and then quickly became larger.

He hurriedly raised his rifle and fired all the bullets without aiming too much, not to hit the Skeleton but to chase it away.

His efforts were useless. The Skeleton remained on its original course, and it seemed that no one or anything could stop it from moving on.

until more muzzles are aimed at its body.

"Kill it!"

Guo Bo finally started to get excited.
