Chapter 47: Abandonment

"Is the gentleman worried about something?"

"We're going to cross the river soon, and when the time comes, it's impossible to cross the river at low altitudes, and I'm not surprised if the python can run thirty or forty meters in the water."

High place, Lu Chen didn't say it, but they can all think of it, and the problem of consumption is not easy to solve.

"Moreover, if we are halfway through the move, the python suddenly comes ashore and attacks one side, and it will not be easy for us to deal with it on both sides."

Lu Chen's words made them all ponder, this is indeed a difficult problem.

In the end, Guo Jia spoke: "It's in the water, we can't feel it, and it can appear anywhere, which means that it is impossible to detour, so let's kill it." At the end, Guo Jia's expression also became fierce.

"Just how to deal with it?"

"It is impossible to defeat it in the water, we have to kill it only if we get it ashore, as for getting it ashore."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia fell silent, not only him, but Lu Chen and the others didn't squeak, they really couldn't think of a way to get it ashore.

"Can you find something to lure?" In the middle of the ring, Guo Jia made a suggestion.

It's just that he was quickly vetoed by Lu Chen: "No, it takes time to seduce, what we lack now is time." ”

"The convoy is heading elsewhere at full speed, you see, so we have a chance to get rid of this python."

"But that's just a chance, it's a survival mission, you can't gamble at will."

In reality, it is possible that the giant python will not follow the contractor, but this is the mission world, and there is a great possibility that the giant python will follow Lu Chen. So this bet, Lu Chen is not willing to take risks.

"Then there's no way. If that python doesn't come out of the river, we can't help it. Guo Jia was a little depressed when he said this.

And that's a real problem. In the river, they were definitely not the opponent of the giant python, but Lu Chen and they had no way to get the giant python ashore, which was almost a dead knot for Lu Chen and them.

Lu Chen also thought about it for a long time and had no way to deal with the giant python, and just when Lu Chen was about to give up, he suddenly thought of something.

Looking around, Lu Chen suddenly said mysteriously to the others: "You say, do we have to get these ordinary people to the other side?" ”

Lu Chen was so careful, and the others thought that there was something important, and they were all nervous. But as soon as they heard what Lu Chen said, they didn't know how to answer, and finally the iron man said: "Isn't Mr. always going to take these refugees?" ”

"My purpose with these refugees is not really to find them a home, but to explore their secrets, which is not to put the cart before the horse, and it is enough to bring them here."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen seemed to have made up his mind, and immediately said to Guo Jia: "You go and call the mercenary captain over, just say that I have something to tell him." ”

For Lu Chen's instructions. Guo Jia had nothing to do, and soon, he called the mercenary captain over.

Seeing Lu Chen, the mercenary said respectfully to Lu Chen, "Sir, is there anything you need me to do?" ”

"There are some things that need to be discussed with you. We're not far from where you're going now, and we'll be able to find that base by crossing the river a short distance. "The path chosen by Lu Chen is to pick up the nearest one, and this river is crossed. It's really not far from there.

That map was given to Lu Chen by the mercenary captain, and he knew the distance better than Lu Chen.

"All thanks to the care of the gentleman. If it weren't for the help of my husband, we would have died on the road. Your great kindness is unforgettable. "The mercenary said this is sincere, although the contractor looks down on these refugees, but under Lu Chen's order, he has fought for these refugees several times, and he has saved these refugees several times.

But at this moment, Lu Chen didn't listen to his thanks for letting this mercenary captain come over.

"Needless to say, these kind words are needed, the main reason for coming to you now is to ask what to do later."

Lu Chen's words made the mercenary captain look puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "What should I do, what does Mr. mean?" ”

"You don't want to go to that base like this, do you?" Lu Chen said incredulously at first, seeing that the mercenary was a little dazed, Lu Chen could only continue to speak: "Crossing this river is not a wilderness area, it is a human town, which means that we are going to encounter zombies, there, we can't drive forward." ”

Although the wilderness is dangerous, Lu Chen and the others have also encountered a crisis like the wolf king, but compared to the town, the danger of the wilderness is much smaller.

In the wilderness, the contractor's convoy can drive freely, but in the place where humans gather, this is undoubtedly self-defeating, not to mention the rest, the vast number of ordinary zombies on the road alone can make the contractor die there, not to mention the dangerous enemies such as mutant zombies.

After all, Lu Chen's current convoy is different from when they first started, at the beginning, there was only one armored car, a few people, and it was easy to get away, but now, hundreds of people, dozens of vehicles, such a convoy can no longer enter the town.

Lu Chen's words alerted the mercenary captain, and in normal times, he could also think of this level, but now that it was too close to the base, he was a little happy and carried away.

"What does that mean, sir?"

"We need to scout before we can move forward."

"It's as it should be, don't know what I can do."

"Find a few people to go with us." After finishing speaking, Lu Chenruo glanced at the mercenary captain meaningfully, and then continued: "This time, we will not only have to investigate the dangers along the road, but also take a look at the situation in the base by the way, to see if it is a safe place as you said, you had better find a few trustworthy people to go with us." ”

"Understood, sir, I'll find someone to go with you."

Lu Chen instructed him a few more words and let him go back.

As soon as the mercenary captain left, Guo Jia asked Lu Chen, "Who are you going to take over?" ”

"Didn't we already guess that there must be a trap there, so. I'm ready to give it my all, and this time we're all over. Go and prepare for this, for there will be a fierce battle this time. ”

After all that is said. Lu Chen went to the side alone to recover.

This recovery, Lu Chen is bound to spend a lot of time, he not only has to recover the spiritual power of the body itself, but also needs to fill up the magic crystal and Amelia's necklace, and finally needs to re-prepare the magic stored in the magic book, so there is no way to recover completely in three or five hours.

Because the recovery time was very long, Lu Chen deliberately dug a pit and entered it to recover. If Lu Chen, who has the talent of soil, is completely underground, his recovery speed will be faster.

The sooner you recover, the sooner you can act, but Lu Chen's recovery was soon interrupted, and the dragonfly came to Lu Chen's side.

At this time, the dragonfly's face was a little ugly, and when he saw Lu Chen, he asked directly, "Are you going to abandon those refugees?" ”

"Who did you listen to?"

"Just now Guo Jia told me that you are going to let us all the contractors investigate, is this true?" When he said this, the dragonfly's face was very anxious.

"It's true, but I'm not trying to abandon the refugees."

Seeing the dragonfly, I was anxious to say something. Lu Chen interrupted her before she could speak.

"I remember telling you that there is a good chance that the base these refugees are going to is a trap, and the trap that lures these people there, and taking them there is not a rescue for them. but to harm them again. ”

"But that can't let everyone go, you can leave some people in the camp." Dragonfly knew that what Lu Chen said was right, but she was also afraid of it while they were gone. There is an enemy coming, so you want to leave some people behind to defend.

It's just that her statement was ruthlessly rejected by Lu Chen: "Dragonfly." One thing to keep in mind is that this is not a tour. It's about fighting, and that base is likely to be a turning point in our mission, and there is no room for error, and everyone needs to go. ”

"Leave people to defend, not many people left, if they are not strong enough, they will only be put in danger when they encounter the enemy, and if they stay too much, our offensive strength will be insufficient, and now we can only take care of one side."

What Lu Chen said is the current truth, Dragonfly can't refute a little, although she wants to protect those refugees, but she won't let the contractor take his life to fill it, finally, Dragonfly sighed helplessly and said: "You guys go, I want to stay with them, my strength is very weak, and I can't help you much, it's just right to stay." ”

Dragonfly's words made Lu Chen frown, Lu Chen asked everyone to go because of the situation, but he also had the idea of protecting everyone, other people were very important, Lu Chen didn't want them to get out of his sight.

And among these people, the dragonfly is what Lu Chen cares about the most, how could Lu Chen let the dragonfly stay in the camp and wait for death.

Just seeing the dragonfly's expression, Lu Chen knew that it was impossible to take her away, and after thinking for a while, Lu Chen said: "You are sure to stay, it is very likely that you are not saving them, but harming them." ”

Seeing that the dragonfly didn't believe it, Lu Chen continued: "The space will not allow any contractor to pass the mission safely, we will all be tempered, if you are here, there will definitely be an enemy coming, that enemy is likely to be the giant python in the river, and at that time, those refugees will also be dragged to death by you." ”

"On the contrary, if you leave, the space will not necessarily attack these refugees, and they have a better chance of survival."

Lu Chen's words made Dragonfly a little desperate: "Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?" You're so strong, you must have a way, right? ”

Facing the dragonfly's hopeful eyes, Lu Chen turned his head away and sighed: "I'm sorry, this is the most difficult survival task in the nightmare world, even we contractors I can't be sure to take them all away, these refugees can only resign themselves to fate." ”

These words made the dragonfly's body shake a little, looking at the dragonfly's somewhat sad expression, Lu Chen was a little unbearable, he opened his mouth to comfort: "You don't think so badly, before leaving, I will clean up the surroundings, and then find a safe place for those refugees, and as long as we are fast enough to solve that trap quickly, these refugees will be safe and sound." ”

"You can help them for a while, but you can't help them for a lifetime, after we leave, these refugees still have to continue to live, everything can only depend on their creation."

Lu Chen's words only made the dragonfly's footsteps pause, and she quickly left Lu Chen's field of vision.

And Lu Chen looked at it for a while before returning to the pit he had dug again to continue to recover his mental strength.

After the dragonfly came, the others didn't bother Lu Chen anymore, but the contractors in the camp all secretly prepared and raised their spirits to the best state.

The contractors were all in good spirits, and those refugees were a little panicked when they knew that the contractors were leaving, but they knew that Lu Chen was going to explore the way and would come back, so they didn't let the scene get out of control.

Although the contractor has only been here for a short time, it has already made the refugees somewhat dependent.

In the recovery, more than three hours passed quickly, and Lu Chen, who was recovering at full speed underground, quickly got his state intact.

The other contractors didn't consume much, so there was no need to delay at all.

Only Snow Girl's injuries have not healed yet, and she needs to wait for a while, and while waiting, Lu Chen is not doing it.

He walked back with the convoy for a while, then stopped in front of a hill.

It took more than ten minutes for Lu Chen to hollow out the hill, and then let all the refugees enter the hill to hide.

Because the dragonfly had been following him, Lu Chen spent a lot of effort to strengthen the soil of the hill, so that they all turned into rocks, and only then did he stop when he had enough protective ability, so that the dragonfly was also relieved.

When Lu Chen went back, the Snow Girl would need more than an hour to fully recover, but Lu Chen was no longer willing to wait.

After crossing the river, it was not far from the base, and the road was full of zombies, and it was not easy to walk, and the car was useless, so Lu Chen did not take the car with him, but used magnetic control to dismantle a steel truck into a large steel plate, called everyone on the steel plate, and finally manipulated the steel plate to fly.

Transporting hundreds of people and dozens of trucks from a height of ten meters to the other side, Lu Chen couldn't do it, but with only one steel plate and a dozen people, Lu Chen could still do it with a little effort.

When he flew over from the river, Lu Chen glanced at the river, and sure enough, he saw a huge black shadow swimming around in the river, and the giant python was not immediately hidden in the river.

It's just that Lu Chen and them are all in the air at a height of dozens of meters at this time, and the giant python can't reach it at all, so they can only look at it and sigh.

There was no obstacle, Lu Chen and the others quickly crossed the river, and when they reached the opposite bank, the steel plate was also abandoned by Lu Chen, and they ran over with a dozen people on foot to think about the base.

Among the dozen or so people who were going to go this time, in addition to the twelve contractors, there were also four ordinary people, a total of sixteen people. (To be continued......)
