Chapter 19: The heart is like a snake and scorpion
87_87057When Bai Qi returned to the camp with his men, night was about to fall, and the three hunting teams of Viper, Adam, and Count had returned, and four huge bonfires were burning in the camp.
After two consecutive days of hunting, more than twenty aliens have been eliminated, and according to the information obtained by Zilong on the first day he entered the depths of the cave and used the topographic mapper, there are about fifteen or sixteen aliens left in this lair.
This result was even better than everyone expected, and it also made everyone's fear of the alien lair disappear, and the vigilance naturally decreased significantly.
Deep in the rainforest, it was humid and hot, and after entering the rainforest, everyone had never been dry, and for three days in a row, some people's feet were soaked and wrinkled. A few days ago, under the many crises, it was still bearable, but now that the vigilance has decreased, some people can't help but ask for a bonfire.
Seeing the bonfire, Huang Mao, Carl and the others all showed joy, and even Heinrich and Qin Qing couldn't help but speed up their pace.
But Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh secretly when he looked at the bonfire.
Although everyone knows that the alien is cunning, in fact, he does not see the alien as an intelligent creature like himself, but regards the other party as a cunning animal.
In fact, it's no wonder that everyone has been in contact with aliens during this time, and this creature does not look like an intelligent creature at all, whether it is its living habits or the environment in which it lives.
After two consecutive days of hunting, even Bai Qi couldn't help but have the feeling that "aliens are nothing more than that".
But as long as you think about the Predator, a race that is more advanced and powerful than humans, was almost wiped out by the aliens, Bai Qi understands that this creature is by no means an animal without intelligence.
However, Bai Qi didn't plan to say anything at this time, anyway, the bonfire had been lit, although the camp was five or six kilometers away from the alien lair, but the four huge bonfires illuminated the sky above his head in a dim yellow, not to mention five or six kilometers, if the field of vision was broad, I am afraid that it could be seen more than ten kilometers away.
Second, it is definitely a thankless task to convince people who have been struggling in the hot and humid environment for four or five days at this time to give up the bonfire that has just been lit.
Entering the camp, without waiting for Bai Qi's orders, Huang Mao and Carl had already begun to collect rotten wood.
The bonfire was soon lit, and everyone took off their combat boots and soaked socks, revealing the soaked white and wrinkled soles of their feet, and baked against the campfire.
The shoes and socks set up by the bonfire quickly rose white, spreading with the smell of feet, but no one cared, even a woman like Qin Qing who usually loves cleanliness, and she didn't care about enjoying the pleasant feeling coming from the soles of her feet.
Bai Qi also enjoyed the pleasant feeling of baking his feet with everyone, but his mind had already drifted into the distance.
On the surface, in the past two days, most of the aliens have been hunted by them like chopping melons and vegetables, and there are only about a dozen left, which seems to be vulnerable, but Bai Qi knows that it is far from the case.
Two experienced hunters can hunt tigers as long as they are well prepared, but if two unprepared hunters accidentally encounter a tiger, they may only be used as food for the tiger.
In the same way, in the case of preparation, Heinrich and the three of Karl can kill an alien lightly, but if the two sides meet unintentionally, with the speed and powerful attack power of the alien, they will not give the three of Karl the opportunity to distance themselves and cast spells calmly, losing the three of Karl, Heinrich can't cause effective damage to the alien, even if he is powerful, how long can he delay?
Don't look at the aliens now there are only a dozen or so left, once the remaining aliens rush into this camp, it will definitely be a terrifying massacre, although Abel and Earl are powerful, they can block a few.
These two people are only green quality iron-blooded heavy armor, and they are also in danger of being killed in seconds in the face of the powerful attack of the alien, facing an alien, with the strength and experience of these two people, of course, they can deal with it calmly, and facing two at the same time, I am afraid that their lives are in danger.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, with the experience of the poisonous snake and the Abel and the earl, they should not have thought of this, why were they so careless?
At this time, Bai Qi suddenly found that the location of the camp seemed to have undergone some adjustments.
Originally, the Viper Squad's camp was in the easternmost part, Abel and Earl camped next to the west of the Viper Squad, forming a triangle with the Viper Squad's camp, and the remaining scattered people set up a loose camp on the west side of Abel and Earl's squad.
At this time, the location of the loose camp of the Sanren did not change, and the Viper Squad moved the camp to the west of the Sanren camp, and Abel and Earl's team set up camp on both flanks of the Viper Team.
Then, Bai Qi found that the personnel of the Viper Squad seemed to have undergone some changes, and they actually recruited the only two remaining legal professionals in the Sanren team.
At this time, Bai Qi still couldn't understand the poisonous snake's thoughts.
After two days of hunting, the alien must have discovered the anomaly, and this afternoon Bai Qi and they didn't wait for the alien to prove it.
At this time, the vipers they lit a bonfire, undoubtedly to tell us that we are here, and here we are.
The hill where the alien lair is located is directly east of the camp, and once the alien strikes, it will definitely come from the east.
The loose camp in the east of the camp will definitely attract aliens to attack like a naked woman attracts a pervert, once the alien kills into the unsuspecting scattered crowd, it will definitely face a massacre, but in this way, it will also buy time for the poisonous snakes, and the ranged attackers in the three teams can take the opportunity to eliminate the alien who slaughtered the scattered people at this time and form a pair.
When the scattered people collapse, due to the cruel beast nature of the aliens, there will definitely be some aliens to chase and kill the scattered scattered people, so that the number of aliens attacking the camp of the viper, Abel, and Earl must be greatly reduced.
The viciousness of the poisonous snakes made Bai Qi feel a bone-chilling coldness in his heart.
Although he was chilled, Bai Qi couldn't help but admire a little, compared to organizing the elite to enter the alien lair and enter the enemy's home field to fight, this strategy of attracting the alien obviously has a greater winning rate, although it will cause heavy casualties among the scattered people, but it can preserve the core combat power of the three teams.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but fall into a tangle, let him watch these scattered people go to death, he couldn't bear it, but now that the bonfire has been lit, if he exposes the poisonous snake's mind, it will inevitably cause chaos, maybe not only can't save the scattered people, but even other people will have to be buried together.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Qi sighed deeply and extinguished his mind of debunking, because after exposing it, he would not be able to clean up the mess, which would only bring worse results.
At this time, it was already completely dark, Bai Qi grabbed the socks and combat boots that had just been dried and put them on, and said to the others, "Let's set up camp in another place." â
When Bai Qi and they chose the camp, they subconsciously chose a location away from the viper team, that is, the east of the Sanren camp, if they continued to stay here, once the alien attacked, the first to bear the brunt would not be the Sanren, but them.
After listening to Bai Qi's words, Qin Qing and Huang Mao began to put on shoes and socks without hesitation, Heinrich also immediately executed, Karl was a little reluctant, but after hesitating for a moment, he also began to execute the order.
Serena knew that there was no hope of joining Bai Qi's team, and now that she was back in the camp, she didn't bother to pay attention to his orders, and Carlos did the same, turning her head to the side.
Bai Qi was in a bad mood, and he didn't bother to care about their lives or deaths, and Qin Qing and Qin Qing each took out a torch from the bonfire and walked towards the west of the camp.
The viper sat in the camp, watching Bai Qi and them walk to the westernmost part of the camp, and the bonfire was re-lit seven or eight meters away from their camp, smiling faintly, and didn't seem to care.
In fact, even if Bai Qi couldn't see the viper's plan and stayed in the dangerous east, the viper would send someone to tell them the battle plan and ask them to withdraw to the west.
The reason is very simple, if the alien really attacks according to their plan, a lot of scattered people will definitely die, but these scattered people are all dead in the mouth of the alien, the system will definitely not start the investigation, and they naturally don't have to bear any responsibility, but if Bai Qi and them die here, it will definitely attract the system to start an investigation, then they will have a lot of fun.
After Bai Qi and the others left, Serena and Carlos also returned to the Sanren in a daze.
What the two didn't expect was that Zilong suddenly came to them and bluntly said that he wanted to recruit them into the Viper's hunting team.
The two of them almost fainted with this sudden happiness, and they hurriedly agreed.
When the two walked into the Viper Squad, they couldn't help but show a smug look at Bai Qi not far away. Bai Qi sneered faintly, ignoring the shallowness of the two.
The night is getting deeper, under the baking of the roaring bonfire, feeling the dry feeling that has not been seen for a long time, the mood of the space soldiers who have been plagued by the humidity and heat for a long time has become good, coupled with the hunting of Shun LĂŹ in the past two days, it also makes everyone feel that victory is in sight.
I don't know who took the lead, and someone took out the precious beer and meat from the storage space to celebrate.
Seeing this, Huang Mao also took out the stolen beer from the storage space, but was severely scolded by Bai Qi.
At this time, Qin Qing and Huang Mao realized that Bai Qi's love was wrong.
Faced with Qin Qing and Huang Mao's inquiry, Bai Qi didn't want to say it, so as not to make them suffer in their hearts, but in order for everyone to prepare in advance, he still told what he had discovered.
After listening to Bai Qi's words, Qin Qing looked up at the layout of the camp, and immediately knew that what he said was right.
Qin Qing was suddenly furious, and was about to stand up to expose the conspiracy of the poisonous snakes, but was pulled by Bai Qi.
Qin Qing stared at Bai Qi angrily and said sharply, "What? Do you also think that those scattered people should be sacrificed? â
Angry, she didn't lower her voice at all, and immediately attracted the attention of the other teams.
Bai Qi could only try his best to hold her down, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever thought about what will happen if you expose it?" â
"Debunking it will definitely cause anger, chaos, and conflict, but now that the bonfire is lit, what do you think will happen if we have chaos, or even splits, and the Xenomorphs strike again."
"At that time, it's not just the scattered people who will die, once the team is scattered, in the rainforest at night, we will become prey, and the xenomorphs will become the most terrible hunters, and after that time, I'm afraid few people will return alive."
"The words have come to this, you can choose for yourself, do you want to scatter people to die, or do you want everyone to be buried together!?".
