Chapter 7: Confusion
Not to mention that in the main quest prompts, Space suggested that it was best to act with Special Forces Captain Lenny, which should be the fastest way to increase the prestige of the US military, and this seemingly extremely lucrative reward was also quite tempting.
After decisively taking on this task, everyone knew that in this illusory space, there would never be a pie in the sky, and even if a pie did fall, it must be a dark dish that would die if you eat it.
The reason is very simple, because the total number of American GIs in this group has reached about 50.
Just with Captain Lanny and that named Hannah? When Fox's beautiful instructors met, there were only four or five of them, but under the guidance of these two people, they actually merged with a unit of American survivors, bringing the total number to the current number...... But that's not a good thing.
You must know that every successful escort of a US soldier out of danger means an unusually rich reward, just in terms of survival points, if all these US soldiers can return to safety alive, then it means that each of them can get at least 500,000 survival points, and this ...... Apparently impossible.
In the last "Avatar" plane, Lilin almost subverted the fate of a planet, and the survival points obtained were only tens of thousands. And now, just escorting a few American GIs, how can they get rich overnight...... Again, it's not buying a lottery ticket.
However, it is obviously impossible for the illusionary space to deduct the promised reward, as far as the current point of view, although the lord of this space has a black belly and a poisonous tongue, it seems that he is still a little cautious, but as long as she has officially promised something, she will never speak.
Then the matter is very clear, the Decepticons will definitely spare no effort to hunt down this group of American soldiers, which will definitely be much more dangerous than the original plot of the movie, so the gamers who travel with them will naturally face unprecedented severe challenges.
But what can be done now?
In fact, from beginning to end, the little butler was the only one who kept worrying and worrying. Rilin had never been worried or apprehensive about such emotions, although he himself would have liked to have them.
And Canghai Niang and Fengyue Niang, who were walking together, also didn't care much, and they didn't see the slightest pressure. It is estimated that if they are not confident, they have some powerful means of saving their lives. Of course, it's also possible that they don't care about the task at all.
After about five hours of walking, the sky was already completely dark, and the starry sky hung on the tiled blue night sky, and the clear air unique to the desert made the whole starry sky seem to be pressed on the top of people's heads, and it seemed that the whole person also melted into the night, and the eyes seemed to be able to see through the universe directly......
Lilin suddenly understood why so many desert peoples, knowing how difficult it was to survive in this barren land that lacked water and life, still loved this land deeply, and their ancestors were reluctant to leave.
People who have never been to the desert, who have not really experienced the desert, will never know how beautiful it is~~~
It's just a pity that those who seem to be in the mood to experience the beauty of the desert and the fun of trekking through the desert are the only ones here.
The vast majority of American GIs here are immersed in the grief and anxiety that the base has been breached by unknown militants and their comrades have suffered heavy casualties. In their hearts, the United States has always been the most powerful country in the world and has the most powerful army, and such a thing should not happen to them.
If it weren't for Captain Lanny and Hannah? If the two Fox instructors have excellent organizational appeal skills and keep encouraging everyone, I am afraid that the low morale will have a direct impact on the speed of the team. The nights in the desert are very cold, although the temperature can reach 60 degrees Celsius during the day, or even 80 degrees Celsius, but at night, it will drop directly to about minus 10 degrees.
Although the people here are all wearing military uniforms, there are also a few people who are only wearing vests, and they are already shivering in the cold wind, but no one here has extra clothes, and if they want to help others, they can only freeze to death.
Although the blanket that little Lucy has been carrying with her has come in handy, there are still many people, but they can only rely on two or three people to change clothes to maintain their body temperature.
So, at this time, there were two completely different opinions, according to Captain Lanny's meaning, everyone should rush overnight, after all, those strange things may catch up at any time.
But Hannah? Instructor Fox was in favor of resting in place and burying his body in the sand to keep warm, because everyone had been walking for a long time, and if they continued like this, their physical strength would easily be overdrawn.
In the end, it was Instructor Hannah's opinion that prevailed, after all, the people here were already very tired from fighting and fleeing for their lives.
"Okay, then, now arrange the order of taking turns to be on duty for the night, and the others will rest in place." Captain Lenny relented.
Little Lucy thought about it, but volunteered: "I don't need to arrange my shift change when I'm on the outermost guard." It's okay if I don't sleep all night. ”
The gamers are responsible for the lives of this group of American GIs, especially when they know that at least one of the Decepticons in the shape of a scorpion, the [Sark Giant], is chasing behind, and this night is destined to not be able to sleep peacefully.
But unexpectedly, the night was unusually peaceful, not to mention a Decepticon, not even a desert lizard, the night watchman did not see it.
When little Lucy was forced to press her back on her back to make up for sleep with two dark circles under her eyes the next morning, everyone thought that the night had passed safely...... It wasn't until the team was about to set off that they suddenly found that there were seven or eight people, all the time buried under the sand, only one head exposed, unwilling to come out. No matter what others call it, there is no response.
"Oh no, they're freezing to death," someone shouted, and as a result, a group of American GIs dug the pale men out of the sand, but the scene in front of them made everyone's hearts tremble.
These people were not frozen to death at all, and the cause of their death was due to excessive blood loss...... To be more precise, it was because of the two large holes in the soles of their feet that unknowingly drained all the blood on their bodies.
"What the hell is going on with this TMD?" Captain Lenny kicked the sand at his feet hard, eager to shoot a few shots into the sky to vent his frustration.
Li Lin walked to the side of the deceased, looked at their feet with an expressionless face, then looked at other places, and after a long time, finally said in a light tone: "First of all, this is not the work of some desert creature, there are no traces of the creature's teeth or mouthparts, and the wound is very regular, it should be caused by a murder weapon such as a drill." ”
"It's impossible," Lenny exclaimed, excitedly, "it's impossible for my man to be drilled through the center of his foot with a drill and not say a word." ”
"The reason is this" Lin still looked calm and composed, and turned a corpse over, and on the back of his head, on a small piece of skin hidden in his hair, suddenly there was a red needle the thickness of a toothpick.
"Some of their nerves had been severed before they were pierced through the heart, and in fact, they couldn't have done anything but endure pain." The reason why Lilin knows so well is because he is a great expert in this field himself, and acupuncture can also make this effect, even better than this. ..., Captain Lenny's face has become quite ugly, and he immediately called all the people on duty last night for detailed interrogation, but of course nothing was obtained, these people were as if they were plotted by others in their sleep, and no one noticed their abnormality during the period.
As another group, the gamers naturally discussed it secretly.
"I can assure you that it wasn't the Scorpion Monster [Sark Giant] who did it." Although Yagami Canghai sat quietly with her eyes slightly closed, her tone was without the slightest hesitation, obviously trusting her judgment very much.
"I've laid a chakra wire in the outermost sand, and if something passes through, there's no way I'm not going to know it."
"When I was patrolling around, I didn't find anything unusual...... "The little butler had a look of self-reproach on his face, obviously putting the blame on himself.
Lilin grinned and ruffled little Lucy's hair, causing her to turn her attention to tidying up her appearance, and then said nonchalantly: "All in all, ninety percent of the people who attack are likely to be Decepticons, but so what, there are so many people here, just kill him, anyway, as long as Lanny doesn't die, our mission will not be a failure." Also, most of the murderers are using the cover of sand to lurk in the ground, as long as we pay attention to this, it is nothing. ”
The dead are gone, and the living, even if their hearts are full of anxiety and irritability, still have to move on.
In fact, the best way to travel in the desert is to go out at night, that is, to rest during the day and rush at night, but now in this situation, there are dangers every second, and the longer you stay in this desert, the greater the danger, Lenny and Hannah, after discussion, have decided to rush to the destination in one breath, no longer sleep halfway, and even if you rest for a short time in the middle, you can only let half of the people take a nap at most, and there must be a sober person around ......,
