Chapter 19 Killing Fields Below
Sue didn't yet know that in the term Dark Dragoon, Indigenous had a special meaning. This tends to refer to creatures that possess considerable intelligence, not necessarily humans, any mutated creature is possible. The meaning of indigenous is not the same as that of the wilderness, and at least in the dictionary of the Dark Dragoon, the indigenous have a much higher status than the outcast, and in many cases even higher than some small corporations. The higher the status, the more difficult they are.
Sue sat down next to a bush, opened the small backpack behind him, took out a thick roll of bandages from it, took off his clothes, and carefully wound it around his body. His current position was a few kilometers away from the landing site, and he was not worried that other students would find him. He rearranged the bullets, nutrients, and water, filled the military backpack, and tied it back to his back. The Dark Dragoon's standard backpack is lightweight, sturdy, and can be adjusted to half or a quarter size depending on the application, making it very practical.
Su silently sensed the situation around him, although he didn't feel anything, not even a small animal, but he always felt that something was silently watching him. Whenever she was watched, Su would feel very uncomfortable, this feeling was true almost every time, and it was also the ability to save Su countless times in the past. But now, Sue couldn't find the peeper, although it must have been close.
Countless images, countless messy, subtle feelings flowed quickly from the bottom of Su's heart, and he wanted to find out what was wrong. Suddenly, Sue's consciousness was fixed on the more than 600 low roars he had heard. These ultra-high frequency shockwaves replay incessantly, contrasting with the many sounds in Suchu's memory. Su's heart trembled slightly, and he seemed to understand a little.
He slowly squatted up, a posture that could exert force at any time, and then carefully looked at the qiē around him, not letting go of even the tiniest leaf.
A strong wind blew, and the surrounding bushes were blown to one side, and then stood up in unison. But there was one shrub that fell and stood up a little slower than its companions. It's not surprising that there can't be two trees that are exactly the same. However, in Su's eyes, the branches of this one-meter-tall shrub were a little softer than those of its kind, and it should have fallen faster.
Sue pulled out her synthetic saber and walked over to the bush, pulled over a branch, and cut it off. It is a very ordinary-looking twig, with a tender green underlayer under the bark and fibers in the middle. It's not surprising that some juice is oozing from the incision, after all, this is the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and water is not scarce.
Sue put the cut branch in her mouth and chewed it slowly. The sap oozing from this branch gave him the feeling of being extraordinarily lively and energetic. He could even feel the countless jumping cells in the sap. And there is only a slight radiation in the sap of this shrub, that is, in this jungle, Sue does not have to worry about the water source at all.
He spat out the wood residue in his mouth, took out two Barrett bullets, removed the warheads, poured gunpowder on the bushes in front of him, and lit them with a lighter.
With a whoop, the shining flames quickly spread to the entire bush! The gunpowder burned out in the blink of an eye, but the tree was obviously very flammable, not only did the flames on the branches grow stronger, the bark kept bursting, and then more blazing blue flames erupted from inside!
Sue heard familiar voices again, except for howls and low roars on the plane, and screams of pain and curses!
This kind of ultra-high-frequency vibration, which is inaudible to the human ear, is emitted by the burning bush in front of him. It writhed its branches at a speed that was completely unplanted, and even pulled its long, thin roots out of the ground, and one could imagine its pain at the sight of the broken roots. The shrub was like a fire-breathing spider that began to crawl away quickly, trying to escape!
Corresponding to its cry for help, Su heard at least a dozen angry roars nearby! Looking at the dense bushes around him, Su knew that there were at least a dozen of these weird shrubs hidden there. As for the tree that climbed away quickly, Su was not worried. At the rate at which it burns, it will be burned to ashes if it climbs a few tens of meters at most. Despite her mental preparations, Sue was shocked by the shrub's durability and mobility. If unprepared, the bush could have strangled a human warrior with its own branches.
When gunpowder was poured on the bush branches, it was probably already preparing to attack! Thinking of this, Su couldn't help but be a little glad of his luck, it seemed that this shrub didn't know what gunpowder was, and he didn't know what he was going to do. Otherwise, it would never have allowed Sue to do that.
With a snort, Sue's dagger came out of his hand and pierced through the flaming shrub branch with precision, pinning it firmly to the ground!
The bush screamed at once, and the fire-bathed branches scratched in vain on the ground, leaving nothing but charcoal ashes in their wake. It turned to curse frantically, followed by a series of complex and incomprehensible shouts. This time, responses came from a greater distance, and in Su's perception, the number of high-frequency sources had increased to more than forty.
It seems that this shrub is passing on its own misfortunes and experiences to its companions. But where is the brain of this shrub, and how can it have such a high level of intelligence? Sue pondered as she pulled out her dagger. With the gun on his back, he was about to continue his movement when he suddenly heard a terrible scream in the distance! It wasn't the inaudible high-frequency sound of the bush, but the screams of the human female before she died, and the voice Sue remembered as a very capable and cautious jungle survival expert.
This person may be the same as Sue, he is afraid of bullets from behind, and he relies on his ability to survive in the wild, so he chooses to act alone. It's just that she didn't expect to fall into a death trap in the jungle so quickly. The screams before dying were terrible and painful, and they lasted for a long time, and it was obvious that she had not only experienced extreme fear and pain, but also that the process of death was particularly long.
Sue walked as light and swift as a tanuki, diving towards the place where the screams had come from. In the jungle terrain, Barrett is not very useful, but Magnum can use a lot of power.
As he walked through, Su keenly saw that a few particularly active shrubs suddenly quieted down, apparently sensing his arrival. But how do they perceive their whereabouts? Sue doesn't know the answer yet. However, these shrubs do not perceive themselves far away, about six to seven meters before they notice themselves. Sue sensed that the range of the high-frequency waves they emitted was close to a hundred meters, which was that they were whispering, and if they were roaring or roaring, the range of perception would be much larger.
When he was about to reach the place where the female student was killed, Su quietly stopped. He noticed that there were at least a dozen bushes gathered in front of him, and they were gathered in a heap, chattering and talking.
For some reason, Su suddenly remembered the group of living corpses gathered to eat.
With a soft click, Sue replaced Magnum with a plate of incendiary bombs, then took a deep breath and dived forward silently. He had already restrained the aura of his whole body, and even the heat would not escape from the bandage, but when he was close to ten meters, Su still noticed that the conversation in front of him suddenly became smaller.
This change was the signal for the Soviet Union. He no longer hesitated, jumped up, and his body rushed directly to nearly two meters! Such a height suddenly made Su take in all the qiē in front of him.
His body in the air suddenly froze!
Just a few meters away, there is a particularly dense pile of trees. Through the frantically waving branches and leaves, you can see that the huntress is lying on the ground, her field combat uniform has long been torn to pieces, almost lying there, and her face is still frozen with an expression of extreme fear and pain.
Shrubs that had been pulled out of the soil crawled around her, puncturing sharp roots into her body from time to time, sucking the flesh and blood in her body before pulling them out and looking for the next tasty place to stay. One tree had even grown on her chest, burying almost its entire root system in her body, and it sucked so hard that not only the bark undulated, but even the deep red in every leaf!
There seemed to be countless bugs wriggling under the huntress's skin, and it was obvious that the roots of the bushes were piercing back and forth so that they could absorb more flesh.
Some of the bushes on the periphery were stripping her pants and trying to tear through her sturdy boots to find new places to prick. Su noticed that the shrubs would peel off a piece of metalwork, twist it, and throw it away. Not even the wires hidden in the cuffs of the trousers can escape their detection. The huntress's gun had been dismantled into countless twisted parts and thrown dozens of meters away.
Bang bang bang! Magnum began to spew out tongues of fire, and five successive gunshots converged into a loud bang, and the five bushes were immediately interrupted and set on fire! The bushes let out a panicked cry, although their reaction was fast, and they had already discovered Su's arrival, but the agility of their movements was still not comparable to Su, and there was no way to dodge Su's bullets from several meters away!
As soon as Su landed, he immediately rolled several times in a row, retreated to ten meters away, and then got up, half-squatted and knelt, and Magnum, who had reloaded the bullets, began to shoot out thick tongues of fire again. The bullets almost brushed against the corpse of the female student, and this time the five bullets set fire to seven bushes and made one that was already burning even more vigorous!
In an instant, most of the bushes that gathered for food were burning, and the lucky three or four wanted to escape, but where could they escape Su's lock? In the center of the blue pupils, the fleeing bushes are on fire and burning.
The female student's body was already full of holes, and five or six bushes were entangled with each other, falling on her body and burning brightly. Su glanced at her silently, then leaned over to pick up a tube of nutrients on the ground and turned to leave. Being able to use the fire burned by the enemy to turn your body into a not too bad ending is not too bad.
Su had a faint sentimentality in her heart. He had never regarded this woman as a companion, and he knew that if she hadn't met such an end, she would probably have died at his own hands. A lone wolf like Su will definitely give priority to hunting her, who is also a hunter and walks alone. Unless, she is willing to surrender completely, and can convince Sue.
But, after all, she is also a wolf, a lone wolf. Being able to survive the training camp until now, and withstand the ravages of the captain three times, has been able to give Sue a minimum of respect for her.
Seeing her ending today, Su will indeed have a vague sadness. Whenever she sees dead bones on the side of the road in the wilderness, or a corpse that has just died, Sue occasionally thinks that one day, she will become one of them. Survival, from the day of consciousness, is a matter of constant concern.
Su heard that in the old days, people could not worry about survival as long as they worked their duty. At that time, the food was so cheap that you had to throw it away!
Su withdrew his somewhat messy thoughts and began to think about the current situation. Are these shrubs the natives the captain calls them? Su categorically denied it. Although they are dangerous, they do not pose a threat. It's easy to wipe them out or even exterminate them, just send in a few dozen Pyros or drop a few cloudburst incendiary bombs to burn the jungle straight away. These shrubs are extremely afraid of fire, and appear to be very averse to metal, and extremely sensitive to metalwork. Other than that, it doesn't seem to have any special abilities. I don't know what will happen to them if they evolve for a few more decades, at least not yet as the word indigenous in the Dark Dragoon dictionary.
Su suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a bullet flew dozens of meters away and fell to the ground. With a hula, a shrub ten meters away suddenly turned around, and most of its branches pointed at the bullet on the ground in the distance.
"They do look very sensitive to metal." Su thought silently. The information given by the captain was extremely lacking, and it seemed that he had to figure it out on his own.
Su was not in a hurry to search, but simply sat under a big tree and began to think about what he would do if he was an indigenous person who lived and thrived in this land.
Be sure to take advantage of the shrub's extraordinary sensitivity to metal! Su Pan had such a thought.
He stood up, dug a deep pit under the tree, and then wrapped Barrett and Magnum in a waterproof and moisture-proof combat cloth, and buried them in the pit, along with bullets and a piece of qiē metalwork. He removed the metallic handshake of the composite dagger and wrapped it in a bandage.
After getting ready, Sue stood up. Suddenly, a feeling of danger suddenly flooded from the bottom of my heart! This feeling is like being targeted by a natural enemy! Su's pale blonde hair stood on end, and then fell. He suddenly started and went around to the back of the tree, and just happened to see a pair of big dark green eyes ten meters away, looking at him gloomily through the branches and leaves of the bushes!
