Chapter 67: Into the Mountains at Night
Seeing that Qin Xuan was so confident, the worries in Silver Fox's heart dissipated a lot for the time being.
Soon, Lu Chen and the others could see a continuous mountain range, the mining area occupied by the ground worms arrived, outside the mountain, Lin Lei's spaceship stopped, and then, the mercenaries who came by car set up camp outside the mountain.
"It's getting late now, let's set up camp today, and we'll deal with the ground worms tomorrow." Among the people, only Silver Fox has experienced a large-scale battle, so although there are few people he brought, he still has the right to speak, and his proposal is not bad at this time.
Although the ground worm will not enhance its combat effectiveness at night, the vision of humans will decrease at night, and it is a good choice to go at night, but Lu Chen glanced at the sky, but shook his head: "Let some people camp outside, and find some people to go to the mountains with me." ”
From yesterday to now, Lu Chen has been resting, so at the moment, he is in good shape, he doesn't need to rest at all, and he doesn't want to waste time.
Lu Chen wanted to fight immediately, this time Lin Lei also hesitated, for ordinary people who fought with firearms, fighting at night was not good news, at night, in the desolate mountainous area, their strength would drop by half, or even more.
Disagreeing with Lu Chen's approach, he said cautiously: "Sir, it's all here, it's not bad for this time, fighting at night, those mercenaries won't have much combat effectiveness." ”
Glancing at Lin Lei, Lu Chen frowned and said: "Don't worry, I won't let the mercenaries die too much, let them just experience the atmosphere of the battlefield in the past, the sinister environment at night is more helpful for their experience, as for the ground worm." With me, they can't make much waves. ”
Lu Chen, who has earth-based abilities. It can be said that it is the end of those ground insects, as for whether it is night or not. It doesn't have much impact on Lu Chen, not to mention his high-tech eyes, even Lu Chen's shock perception will not weaken at night, and Lu Chen's giant dog summoning is still dark, and his strength will double at night.
It's just that although Lu Chen said it confidently, Silver Fox and Lin Lei didn't believe Lu Chen very much, so Silver Fox didn't have to say it. He has seen countless human deaths on the battlefield, and he has also seen countless arrogant people, because of some little things, which makes him very cautious, for ordinary people, being cautious is not a mistake, or relying on caution, he has been on the battlefield for so many years, even if the rich children who took refuge died. He's still alive and well.
As for Lin Lei, he thought a lot in his heart, he was a little afraid that his team would be damaged too much, although he wanted to rely on Lu Chen. But if he didn't have enough strength in his hands to help Lu Chen, there was no guarantee that Lu Chen would abandon him. Throw yourself at someone else, so. Maintaining the strength in his hands is also right for him.
But looked. Lu Chen, who was a little insistent, still said: "Sir, otherwise, let's send a small team to follow you in to investigate, if the enemy is not so dangerous at night, let's go in again, what do you think, after all, this is related to the lives of the brothers, you need to be cautious." ”
Lin Lei said this, and Lu Chen didn't insist anymore.
"As you said, find someone faster."
Although Lu Chen said to let Lin Lei speed up, but after ten minutes, Lin Lei found fifty people, this time it was not that Lin Lei deliberately delayed, but those mercenaries knew that they were going to enter the dangerous mountain range at night, and they were all in an uproar, if it weren't for Lin Lei's usual prestige, it was possible for the mercenaries to mutin on the spot.
There is no way, no one wants to die, and entering the mountain range at night, the mortality rate is too high, even if it is far away, Lu Chen can hear the opposition of those mercenaries.
"No, it's too dangerous at night."
"Second son, we have been following you for a while, and we are very heartfelt to you, but you can't let the brothers die."
"Second son, you came to the battlefield, we all came with you, it's not that we are cowardly, if we are really timid, we don't need to come to the battlefield, but this time there is really no need, wait until the next day, the brothers will definitely go to fight, but at night, we can only deliver food."
……
Such words are endless, Lin Lei is easy to say, he promised a lot of money, and only then did he get together more than fifty people, and these fifty or so people are all henchmen in Lin Lei's hands, if they die, it will definitely be a big blow to Lin Lei, when he brought them to Lu Chen, Lin Lei wanted to give up several times, but in the end he still didn't say anything, he still believed in Lu Chen more.
Lin Lei's expression Lu Chen saw it in his eyes, and being trusted so much made Lu Chen's selfish heart also touch: "Don't worry, I will bring them back completely." ”
After finishing speaking, Lu Chen led the soldiers towards the mountains.
Because of the sparse trees in this mountainous area, even if they walked far away, everyone could see each other, so the more than fifty people who followed Lu Chen walked loosely.
Walking like this is to better avoid the attack of the ground worm, the attack of the ground worm comes from the ground, and walking too dense is not conducive to dodging, so a loose point is the best formation, which is still the silver fox told Lin Lei's men.
Looking at the fifty or so mercenaries who were on guard, Lu Chen shook his head and smiled, with him, how could the earth worms have a chance to sneak attack them.
As soon as he entered the mountain for five minutes, and after walking less than five hundred meters, Lu Chen's forward steps slammed and chuckled: "I didn't expect to encounter the ground insect so soon." ”
Lu Chen was walking in the center of the team, but his footsteps stopped, and the whole team became nervous, and beside Lu Chen, a mercenary dressed in a very high-level dress asked even more nervously: "What's wrong, sir." ”
Lu Chen didn't answer his question, but lightly slammed on the ground with one foot, and then, about a hundred meters in front of Lu Chen, the ground cracked, and the cracked ground revealed something similar to an earthworm of about five meters, which was the monster that Lu Chen and they were going to deal with-the ground worm.
But after Lu Chen got out of the monster, he frowned, and when the ground shook, the team led by Lu Chen was in chaos, although the mercenaries did not flee immediately, but they were all away from the cracked ground, and there was some confusion between the teams, and the original team became several small teams, which was the first reflection of their attack.
Such a situation is their previous experience, as mercenaries. They are used to teams of several people, therefore. Now when they encounter danger, they are also looking for their respective team members. When they were mercenaries, this response was very correct, but at this moment, they had already joined the army, and the enemy they faced was not a small fight, only by forming a group of troops could they exert their greatest power, and their performance at this moment made Lu Chen very dissatisfied, and they reached the top of the battlefield. The chaos was enough to break them down.
Although part of the chaos in this was caused by Lu Chen's failure to tell them, the task that the military issued to them in the future must be to explore the unknown wilderness, and there will be many accidents, if the mercenaries can't make the right response, it will only be a burden to take them.
"They do have to train." Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Chen didn't let the chaos continue.
"It's all quiet for me, I made the cracks. There's the enemy inside the rift, form a team, and destroy it for me. Lu Chen's roar finally calmed the team, and then. The fifty or so men formed several squads and marched forward.
Before they reached the crack, it was indeed a ground worm that appeared in front of them, but this earth worm was a little weird. They were digging into the ground desperately, but the dirt on the ground was like steel. The ground worm can't get into it at all, such a scene. They were a little surprised at first, and then they realized that it must have been caused by the poisonous scorpion that was the contractor.
After discovering that there was only one enemy, their courage was also raised, in fact, as mercenaries, they also had combat experience, even if they were simple guards, they had also fought, but the previous battles were all battles between several people, at most dozens of people were group fights, the only large-scale battle, that is, Lin Lei gathered several predecessors to deal with the head of the Wu family, but at that time, it was the contractor who was the main force, and thousands of mercenaries were only fighting, and what Lu Chen wanted to train was their experience in facing large-scale battles.
With only one enemy, the mercenaries quickly shot the worms into a sieve with the help of bullets.
Even if the ground worm has dirt armor, it can't withstand the burst of dozens of people.
It's just that after killing the ground worm, the mercenary was also a little embarrassed, and felt that the reaction just now was a bit too radical.
Looking at the ground worm that had completely died, Lu Chen spoke: "You should have learned large-scale group warfare before, in the future, I will only find out the ground worm, the battle is your own business, I will not make a move, die here, you can only blame yourself for being stupid." ”
After the threat, Lu Chen also gave a candy: "As the first batch to follow me, you are also very loyal to the Lin family, if you perform well in this battle, I will tell Lin Lei to let your status be improved, become the captain of the team, or the captain, everything depends on you." ”
Even if they are in the same position, they have high and low status, and those with high status can not only get more wealth and status, but also live longer with the protection of their subordinates, therefore, no one does not want to continue to improve their status, and now, Lu Chen has given them a chance, which makes them have a fighting spirit in their hearts.
"Don't worry, Lord Scorpion, we'll clean up all those smashes."
Looking at the soldiers with high morale, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then, Lu Chen led them to continue to move forward.
After that, Lu Chen really did as he said, after discovering the ground worms with shock perception, he would not attack them immediately, but just leaked them out and let the mercenaries attack.
Because it is to train mercenaries, not to clean up the ground worms immediately, Lu Chen does not just let one ground worm come out, as time goes by, more and more ground worms are made out by Lu Chen, first one, then two, three, five, and in the end, Lu Chen will release ten at a time, of course, it can still be within the range of the mercenaries.
It's just that although it can be handled, injuries are inevitable, and several mercenaries have been injured by ground worms, of course, with Lu Chen's care, death has not yet appeared.
After ten ground insects appeared, Lu Chen also stopped continuing to increase, but kept ten for mercenaries to deal with, as for the source of the ground insects, it is very easy, relying on shock perception, the ground insects within a few kilometers around are within Lu Chen's grasp, and with the ability of the earth system, Lu Chen can deliberately simulate the effect of vibration to make the earth insects perceive, so that they think that food appears, and attract them.
It is very attractive to attract in this way, the ground worm is cunning, after reaching the vibration range, they can hide underground, waiting for the opportunity to attack, and will not come out immediately, but with Lu Chen, when they reach the nearby ground worm, there is no chance to hide at all, and they will be made out by Lu Chen with ground fissure.
In the same way, Lu Chen can also simulate the fluctuation of vibration, so that the nearby earth insects think that there is no one nearby, soil and vibration perception are the sharpest weapons and protection of the earth insects, but in Lu Chen's eyes, this is their biggest weakness, however, this also makes Lu Chen vigilant, the effect of attribute restraint is too obvious, at this moment he can use the strength of the earth talent to crush others, it is difficult to guarantee that others will use the same talent to crush themselves, if you meet a person with the mother of the earth, Gaia bloodline, Lu Chen's earth ability will be useless, fortunately, Lu Chen has dual-line talents, he has more opportunities to choose, and he has the ability to fight if he is restrained, and he will not be killed.
While thinking about it, Lu Chen watched those mercenaries fight, but it was very leisurely, and the mercenaries who were specially trained by Lu Chen were not so comfortable, under the cover of darkness, they had to face an endless stream of enemies.
However, the hard fighting is also good for them, and the continuous combat has made them familiar with each other, and the cooperation is getting better and better, although the number of enemies has been increasing, and their bodies are getting more and more tired, but they are dealing with it more and more easily.
"Gray, George go to the left to support, Charlie, be careful to dodge, Bill, you go and lure them away."
Watching them fight, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction, although there is still a gap between these mercenaries and the regular army, as long as they go through a few more such trainings, they can also be on their own, the army of a hundred battles, Lu Chen can only think that with his strength, he can have a tacit army to cooperate, which is enough to complete some of his plans.
The battle lasted for more than three hours, and seeing that half of the people were already injured, Lu Chen was not forcing them, and Lu Chen still understood the reason for being too late.
As soon as his mind moved, the vibrations caused by those mercenary activities were all covered by Lu Chen, and without the vibrations, the surrounding ground insects would have no source of information, and they would not be able to feel Lu Chen's existence.
"George, Charlie, quickly kill this ground worm, rest immediately, and wait for the other ground worms to ......" said this, the commander suddenly paused, and he found that there was no trace of the ground worm around him. (To be continued.) )
