Chapter 249: Tracking

The dark sky and heavy rain brought Lu Yuan the greatest convenience.

In normal weather, it would have been difficult for him to blend into the camp of the army commanders in such an environment, but now it was different, he easily blended in.

Before that, he was suddenly notified by Sonny, intercepting the military's radio message and learning that the military had advanced the mine tunnel, wiped out all the aliens, and rescued several survivors.

As soon as this news entered Lu Yuan's ears, he felt that it was not very good.

In the movie, what is the concept of a survivor who was dragged away by an alien and then rescued?

Not to mention that he'd had done this many times before.

This is not good, it is not strange for the military to treat it seriously and destroy a group of messenger aliens, in the environment of the mine, the prepared military is an advantage, but after bringing the survivors back, it would not be great if one of the alien larvae was accidentally missed, and the alien hatchlings escaped.

Given that the military doesn't know much about the alien at the moment, this is a big possibility.

Of course, if it was just this, Lu Yuan would not have sneaked into the camp. It is more likely that the xenomorph hatchlings were captured alive, which is more troublesome than the xenomorph hatchlings escaping.

The alien can't hide from the country at the moment, but the corpse can be obtained by the military, but the living body can never be obtained by the military.

The living alien is too dangerous, even if he is experimenting in the underground base in the South Pacific, its defense measures are of the highest standard, and he does not think that the military has such conditions and facilities. All in all, the existence of a living alien for one day represents an accident and a danger that must be eradicated, let alone in the hands of any country or organization.

It was Lu Yuan who infiltrated the camp and risked a little risk to take the alien hatchlings that happened to break out of the chest. To strangle all in the cradle.

Looking back at the camp that had already sounded the alarm, Lu Yuan quickened his pace and dived into the dense forest.

Although there is no micro-drone to provide him with reconnaissance, with his terrifying ability to control, his brain does not let go of all movements within a radius of hundreds of meters. With such an ability of "unpredictable prophet", from eighty or ninety meters away, the footsteps of the soldiers could also be screened by Lu Yuan from the sound of the rain. So as to avoid the search team in advance.

He's really poked a big basket.

As if the entire camp had been detonated by him, the search soldiers of the brigade quickly entered the surrounding mountains and forests, holding strong flashlights and leading military dogs, trying to find Lu Yuan's traces in such a bad weather environment.

It's a pity that the torrential rain and strong winds interfered with their movements, and the rain eliminated Lu Yuan's smell, even if they led a military dog with a keen sense of smell, it was difficult to find the traces left by Lu Yuan.

But I am afraid that this situation will not last long.

Once the rains subside tomorrow, or if the weather conditions improve, as more troops are put here. Sooner or later, he will not be able to escape from the encirclement of heaven and earth.

It's getting more and more dangerous.

He is running out of time, and the best thing is to find the lair of the alien queen before dawn tomorrow and destroy all the aliens.

But this is a contradiction.

Bad weather conditions made his movements undetectable, allowing him to evade numerous searches. But it was this bad weather condition that forced the micro-drone to fail to take off to reconnoitre, interrupting the search process for the alien queen.

Suddenly stopping his shuttle footsteps, Lu Yuan's gaze seemed to penetrate the dense forest. Saw the depths obscured by the treetop shrubs.

Silent, Lu Yuan grabbed the trunk of the tree next to him. Using his hands and feet together, he was faster than a monkey, and disappeared into the canopy in the blink of an eye. As soon as he hid in the dense canopy, two groups of soldiers from the west and east searched for him, sealing off almost all directions, and if he hadn't quickly hid in the canopy. I'm going to be caught just now.

"Woo ......"

A military dog seemed to smell something, and after barking a few times, the soldier who was being led shouted in surprise: "Big ears, have you found it?" ”

Calling the name of the military dog, the military dog showed a puzzled expression. sniffed his nose, and ran forward with the team behind, and it didn't seem that he found Lu Yuan hiding in the tree.

"This dog's nose is really smart."

If it weren't for the heavy rain that was still falling, he would have been exposed.

It was only after the two teams of search soldiers left that Lu Yuan came down from the tree, identified a direction, and continued to move in the southwest direction.

Since the original four messenger aliens came from that side, of course he had to go in that direction to search. It was only after he searched for about ten miles that he was taken back to the reservoir camp by the piece of information given by Sonny.

Now he quickened his advance, skipped the range he had searched before, and bypassed the army soldiers in front of him, and it took him nearly an hour and a half to return to his original position.

Standing on this small hillside, you can see a river that has swelled sharply from below, perhaps because of the torrential rain, this side of the hill must have had a mudslide and landslide a few hours ago, and a large area of trees and soil was washed down, leaving a mess in the field.

It seems a bit difficult to get around here.

A satellite map of small mountains appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes, and there was already a river surrounding him where he was located, and the small river, which was originally only about ten meters wide, was also due to this violent storm, and the water level not only soared, but also spread to a width of more than thirty meters. The rapid flow and the constant torrent of whirlpools made people chill just by looking at it, and even Lu Yuan didn't dare to go directly to death like this.

Looks like it's going to have to go around in circles.

Going around in circles meant walking about seven or eight miles of road, which is not a short time in the forest.

Lu Yuan took out the chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth, regardless of the rain mixing into his mouth, and chewed his throat vigorously.

He had a lot of physical exertion, not only to observe the surrounding environment, but also to speed up the pace in the muddy forest, and if he was an ordinary person, he would have been so tired that he would lie down, where could he continue to shuttle through the forest for nearly twenty kilometers.

After finalizing the action steps, Lu Yuan no longer wasted time, turned around and began to make a detour.

It's just that compared to his previous quick action, he slowed down his pace this time, one is to pay attention to the possibility of landslides and mudslides, and the other is to alleviate excessive physical exertion, and try to recover his strength with chocolate.

"Huh, that's?"

Lu Yuan's footsteps stopped, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

Looking in the direction of two o'clock in his position, about fifty or sixty meters away, a dark figure was struggling to grasp the fallen tree trunk in the middle of the river, so as not to be washed away. Ordinary people may not be able to see clearly under the influence of the rainstorm, but Lu Yuan's eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people, but he can vaguely see the black shadow.

Lightning struck the ground, and the earth lit up white in an instant.

That black shadow turned out to be a messenger alien!

Lu Yuan was a little surprised, this messenger alien didn't know what bad luck had fallen, he was actually trapped in the center of the river, looking at the surging river, the poor messenger alien grabbed the trunk of the tree that fell in the middle, and was trying hard to climb up with strength.

Subconsciously reaching out and touching it, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, by the way, his bow and arrows had run out, and he really couldn't shoot this messenger alien from a long distance.

It seems that he has to get closer and use the nanowire to kill the alien.

It was only after a few steps forward that Lu Yuan's heart moved, and his mind changed again.

Letting go of the idea of directly killing the messenger alien, Lu Yuan turned to quietly lurk behind the big tree, quietly watching the messenger alien struggle to crawl out of the river, grab the trunk of the tree and shake its tail, and step on the trunk and rush into the forest.

It's a good thing to find an alien in this place, doesn't it mean that another lair of the alien is nearby?

There was no need for him to kill this alien at all, as long as he followed it, this alien would naturally lead him to the lair.

Seeing that the messenger alien struggled out of the river and quickly disappeared into the forest, Lu Yuan slammed into a run, crossed a distance of nearly ten meters in the air, and stepped on the trunk of the tree.

"Click!"

Where can this broken tree trunk support such a toss, seeing that the entire tree trunk is about to break from it, the moment Lu Yuan landed, a front flip unloaded the momentum, rolled accurately and stepped on the tree trunk, and rushed into the forest in a few jumps.

At this moment, the trunk of the tree broke and fell into the river, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. (To be continued.) )
