CHAPTER XXXVIII
Su Le's pale pupils turned quickly, inspecting every inch of land around him, but he found nothing, everything was calm, not even a bird!
Suddenly, Shi Jian's shadow began to squirm strangely, and it looked extremely infiltrating under the moonlight!
The three-meter-tall giant shadow began to split, little by little splitting into a much smaller afterimage, and then this afterimage began to squirm, and a human figure slowly stood up from the shadow, and after standing completely up, he reshaped his body, and his appearance was finally revealed, it was Liu Dragonfly!
She walked up to Chen Han and asked with a solemn face:
"Did you find anything?"
Chen Han tilted his head and looked intoxicated: "The smell of blood, I smelled it just now, and the closer you get here, the stronger it becomes." ”
Liu Dragonfly turned her gaze to Su Le again: "Is there anything nearby?" ”
Su Le shook his head: "No, there is not even a corpse." ”
Liu Dragonfly nodded, pressed the earphones and said, "Xiaolu, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Although the external signal is blocked, the people in the team can still contact nearby people through the headset, similar to the general effect of the walkie-talkie, the situation is the same as the LAN after the network is disconnected, but this distance is only about a few kilometers, and if the signal is extremely poor, it will still be broken.
Shen Lu's voice came from the earphones, as cheerful as ever: "No, captain!" ”
At the same time, the wind whistled around her.
This is very strange, where does the smell of blood come from without corpses?
Liu Dragonfly looked around vigilantly, the long-term fighting made her feel a little wrong, she observed the surrounding environment and said slowly:
"I don't feel right either."
Su Le had no experience in field combat, and he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
"Quiet!"
Liu Dragonfly frowned and said in a deep voice: "It's too quiet! It's not like it's real! ”
There were no insects, no birds, no screams, and no xenomorph howls, which made it seem as if the city had been cleaned up when they landed.
"That's right!"
Shi Jian's thunderous voice sounded: "Even in a desolate place, it is impossible not to see a single xenomorph like here, we have walked a full six kilometers, and we have not even seen a living thing." ”
Chen Han nodded and said: "What's more, there were two people who died and one injured just now, obviously they didn't die for a long time, and they didn't have to think about it to know that they were the aliens, so where did these aliens go in just a while?" ”
"It's just two possibilities."
Su Le said: "The first is to know that we are coming, and then ambush and wait for the opportunity to sneak attack, and the second is that there is something around them that attracts their attention and leaves this place temporarily." ”
After hearing this, everyone looked around more vigilantly.
"Personally, though, I'm leaning towards the latter." Su Le's pale eyes looked in the direction of the second energy base without any emotion, where it was pitch black, and only the vague outlines of the giant factory and the dense energy storage tank could be seen.
"Why?" Liu Dragonfly asked.
"Quite simply, if it were the former, they would have been able to do it a long time ago! There's no need to wait until we get here, isn't it easier to sneak up on a sneak attack in the jungle? ”
"So I think something is going to grab their attention, and that's why there's a vacuum in this area!" Su Le analyzed, he didn't stop talking about it, and he was still monitoring the surrounding situation in an orderly manner.
Everyone thinks it makes sense, but what is it that can attract the attention of an entire area of xenomorphs?
"Could it be that the second energy base has been completely breached?" Shen Wen made a reasonable assumption.
Previously, only the southern part was breached, and all the employees inside the base went to the evacuation room, but according to the information transmitted from the south, it was still in the hands of humans, and the operation was closed.
Liu Dragonfly shook his head: "It shouldn't be so fast, the second energy base also has a dome, and there is also a light energy defense area, even if it is an A-level xenomorph, it is impossible to break through all the defensive positions in such a short time." ”
Just when everyone thought so, Su Le spoke:
"There's a problem."
The crowd looked at him.
"Do you remember the Wehrmacht? At first, Shi Jian also asked why he didn't see the defense army. Su Le said.
Hearing his words, Liu Dragonfly felt as if she had missed something important, but she couldn't remember it, she frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Su Le shook his head uncertainly: "I don't mean anything, I just feel wrong, Shen Wen's thoughts may not be impossible." ”
Liu Dragonfly pondered for a while and then turned to Zhou Qi and said, "You go up and take a look, see the situation over there in the energy base." ”
Zhou Qi nodded and prepared to ignite the fire.
"Wait a minute!"
Su Le suddenly stopped with a voice.
The fire that had just ignited on Zhou Qi's body was forcibly extinguished by him, and he looked at Su Le in wonder.
"You're flying like a fireball rat, the target is too obvious!" Su Le smiled: "It's better for me to go." ”
"You're going? How do you get there? Running over? Zhou Qi asked curiously.
Su Le shook his head and smiled, he raised his arm and spread his palm towards the nearby dense forest, his palm pointing to the nearest tree. The pupils shrank slightly.
The stout hundred-year-old tree trembled instantly, the dry and cracked bark fell one after another, and the tender green leaves also broke away from the shackles of the branches and converged into a cyclone, which merged with the bark on the ground, began to rotate rapidly, and finally condensed into a yellow-green disc that looked unusually porcelain!
Su Le stood on the disc, and his mind controlled the disc to slowly rise into the air, until he flew to a suitable altitude and began to fly towards the second energy base, leaving only a stunned group and a sentence in the earphones:
"Wait until I'll get back!"
"He, what is he?" Zhou Qi could swallow an egg in his mouth, looking at Chen Han, who was also distracted, and asked, After training together for so long, it was the first time I had seen Su Le use this ability
Chen Han shook his head, his gaze still gloomy.
In fact, Liu Dragonfly knew Su Lehui's hand, and Liu Dragonfly had seen the battle record of his entry into Lin Xiao's courtyard, but once she encountered a reconnaissance or battle in the air, she would subconsciously call Zhou Qi to go, and she was used to calling before, so she forgot Su Le's magical ability.
"I rely on this B to hang!" Zhou Qi shouted and pointed in the direction of Su Le's departure.
"That's it!"
Chen Han glanced at him impatiently: "I haven't seen the world before!" ”
Zhou Qi was suddenly unhappy:
"Come, come, where the tree is, you can go up!"
Chen Han was silent, what was going on? Climb the tree?
It's hard to get on the kang.
Shi Tiantian grabbed her father's hand while biting the fingers of her other hand, staring blankly at Su Le's disappeared figure, her big eyes were full of color, and a string of saliva inadvertently slipped down from the corner of her mouth.
"What's wrong, Tiantian?" Shi Jian stroked his daughter's little head beside his leg and asked lovingly.
"Daddy, he can fly!"
Shi Tiantian pointed to the direction where Su Le disappeared and said in a humble voice.
Shi Jian smiled: "It's not strange, your brother Zhou Qi can also fly." ”
Although he was also surprised, he still had to maintain the reserve and composure of a father in front of his daughter.
Who knew that Shi Tiantian shook her head and said:
"It's different."
"How is it different?"
Shi Tiantian looked longingly at the quiet night sky overhead:
"Brother Su Le's name is Fei, and Brother Zhou Qi's name is Channel!"
