Chapter 2: The Old Deal
Leaving the snow forest, there is a feeling of going all the way down, from snow to no snow, from woods to grasslands, from cold to warm. It's always vertically downward.
Until he came to a valley, Lu Zhengping didn't want to leave, the feeling of being followed lingered, and he wanted to make a break.
As far as the eye can see, the valley has a complex topography, with a large tree at the entrance to the valley, meadows in the valley, and pine trees everywhere. There are also towering cliffs all around, winding and intricate.
Lu Zhengping chose to ambush here, which can make full use of the terrain advantage. Choosing an ambush location, an escape route, and an alternate plan, a long-lost feeling arises during the observation.
Lu Zhengping predicts how many opponents there are, how many people will adopt what kind of plan, how to exchange the minimum amount of materials for the maximum results with the existing weapons, and so on.
It requires him to do a lot of upfront work, traps, bait, illusions...... It took two days to do this.
The valley is a great ambush from any point of view. He wasn't sure when his opponent would be chasing him, but he didn't think it would be too long, otherwise he wouldn't feel it that strongly.
Sure enough, on the fourth day, a group of people appeared.
Lu Zhengping glanced through the binoculars and recognized that this group of people was the same person who attacked Zhuangzi that night, and there were twenty-eight people, although it was a little troublesome to have more people, but it was still within the expected range.
Lu Zhengping had been staring at the group of people walking into his ambush range, he had specially marked, there was a sniper rifle in his package, it was no problem to strike one round first, at least kill a few before approaching him.
The position he set up was condescending, and the behavior of the people below could be seen clearly, as soon as he entered the firing range, there was a bang, and a spray of blood mist exploded on the head of one of them in the round mirror, and Lu Zhengping completed the second shot without hesitation.
Bang? ~~ It's another cloud of blood mist.
The people below moved quickly. It's just that they scurry around like headless flies. Bang bang bang ~~~ After a series of gunshots, someone finally discovered the source of the attack and began to come towards Lu Zhengping.
Lu Zhengping retreated unhurriedly and shot to kill. Those people are not stupid, they scatter and encircle. But this is all within Lu Zhengping's expectations. The trap is for them.
Hook-locked bombs, deep pits with spikes more than two meters deep...... Stuff like that can't be guarded against.
Lu Zhengping has corresponding weapons prepared every time he walks to a place, and he also drives a crossbow on the tree, which is fired when he touches it, and it is the kind of large-scale killing.
It's like a cat-and-mouse game, where teasing is accompanied by cruelty. There is one thing, Lu Zhengping didn't expect that there would be someone here who could fly, but fortunately, there was only one.
However, their actions are so agile and beyond common sense, normal people, even long-trained professionals, can't match half the speed and reaction of these people, which makes Lu Zhengping very headache. But he doesn't care, no matter how fast it is, it can't be as fast as a bullet, right?
This cat-and-mouse game lasted for a long time, and after most of the people were killed, they became very cautious, especially the flying one, who became a reconnaissance sentry, and Lu Zhengping failed to hit him several times.
However, Lu Zhengping was not in a hurry, they couldn't get close to each other, and they were all in vain.
The turning point appeared in a bush where Lu Zhengping was disguised, the person who could fly saw the disguise as a real person, when he was in the middle of the block, Lu Zhengping hit with a shot, the blood mist rising in the air was like a blooming red cherry, the flying man seemed to be hit by a giant hammer and stumbled first, then fell quickly, lost air superiority, and the rest of the people became live targets, Lu Zhengping broke them one by one, and finally found the guy who could fly, the shot did not kill him, but only hit his shoulder socket, but the destructive power of the bullet almost tore his shoulder apart, and it seemed that he would not live long.
The black cloth he had wrapped around his head was removed, revealing a woman's face. She stared at Lu Zhengping painfully, her eyes showing a fierce light.
Lu Zhengping was also not polite to her, and pulled her out of the essence, for fear that she had a hidden weapon hidden on her body, and now she is smooth and slippery to see where she is hiding. It's right to be careful.
The woman's eyes were split, but she had lost the power to resist, and let others do it, presumably what she wanted most at the moment was to kill the person in front of her or die early.
Of course, Lu Zhengping kept her to ask what they were doing, why did they attack Juluzhuang? But I didn't expect her to answer.
The pain distorted her countenance, and the blood and mud on her face could not even tell whether it was beautiful or ugly.
Lu Zhengping looked at her indifferently and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The woman didn't answer.
Lu Zhengping took out a dagger and stabbed it directly on the woman's thigh. The woman groaned in pain. Looking at Lu Zhengping's eyes full of fear, maybe she didn't think that this person was so cruel. Even so, she tried her best to hide her shyness and retain the last of her dignity, even though she didn't seem to have much dignity to keep.
"Who are you?" The same question asked again?
The woman spat out the blood foam in her mouth and said viciously, "If I didn't ask such a question, but hide away." ”
"But you're not me, don't forget that your people are all dying at my hands today."
As if she had just remembered, the woman exclaimed, "What weapon did you use?" ”
Lu Zhengping directly pulled out the dagger and said, "Look, you are bleeding, and you will die of blood loss in ten minutes." ”
The woman closed her eyes in pain and muttered, "As a member of the Gu family, I am not afraid of death." ”
Lu Zhengping said: "Do you want to die like this, or do I burn you with a fire?" ”
"You~~ are so ruthless!" The woman seemed to have lost sight of the possibility of life, and closed her eyes in despair.
"Each other, each other!"
Lu Zhengping got up, and the woman suddenly shouted, "I don't want to die." ”
Lu Zhengping sneered and said nothing, death is a great fear, and few people can face it calmly.
Bang!! Lu Zhengping raised his hand and shot directly at the woman's forehead. "It's a pity that I can't live, and it's my only gift to end your suffering early.!"
Lu Zhengping searched everyone's bodies and found a lot of things from them, the woman said that the news was enough for Lu Zhengping when she said that the Gu family, and what touched him the most today was how could people fly without the help of external forces. This made his view of the world have a new change, the weapon in his hand is a non-replicable consumable, and he can't use it until he has to, and today's consumption makes him very distressed, almost a third of the ammunition is gone. And those people's extraordinary agility are things that Lu Zhengping can't understand.
Jumping and flowing time heat intersect in the middle of the valley, so that the temperature inside and outside the valley is not the same, and people think they are smart, but in fact they are mostly self-righteous. There is no clear definition of IQ, most people are similar, and Lu Zhengping doesn't think that he is smarter than others, but experience can improve his intelligence more offline, and Lu Zhengping thinks he has some experience in the victim's heart. Flowing time is the nourishment for thinking, burying clues and searching for clues themselves.
Lu Zhengping didn't want to do this, but professional inertia drove him to dissect a corpse, a poor woman, too young, what chakra, cyclone, Neidan and other things were not found, but one thing is still different, the muscle structure of women seems to be slightly different from ordinary people, but this difference is not obvious, it may be the result of long-term training, Lu Zhengping is not sure, observation and analysis can only be a guess, the composition of life itself is very complex, no matter how bizarre it is. Thousands of people have thousands of faces, everyone is not the same, whether it is a common phenomenon or an individual case still needs to be verified, Lu Zhengping set fire to the corpse, and after all, she did not expose the wilderness.
The light on Lu Zhengping's face outlines the well-defined outline, the resolute indifference, the hidden eyes, and the dim world background behind him are all microcosms of everything in the world.
History in the blink of an eye is to some extent the same as the history of a lifetime, the length of the time dimension is not the calculation standard of the length of history itself, most people and things in the time dimension are meaningless repetitions, and only those who can make changes from them can become one of the nodes, engraved in it, just like this group of poor people, the people who drive them to give their lives for will not even consider the meaning of their existence, if anything, it is just a moment of regret.
Lu Zhengping whistled, the tall figure of the giant deer walked out of the hidden valley, Lu Zhengping was in a good mood, because he found new fun, the exploration of the unknown, the exploration of the unreasonable, all made him feel that there was still the meaning of life and progress. He is like a newborn baby with a curious attitude towards everything, and for this world, Lu Zhengping is a baby.
Around a glittering bonfire in the deep night.
Lu Zhengping looked through the wooden box that he had never looked at. There was nothing surprising about the wooden box itself, and when it was opened, it was not gold, silver and jewelry, but a neatly folded piece of vellum.
Spreading out the parchment, I could vaguely see the line segments outlined on it, which was obviously a map, but this kind of map with no scale or even reference was as meaningless to Lu Zhengping as a ghost drawing. Perhaps the man who drew the map thought that future generations would be able to understand his leapfrog thinking and possess a strong ability to guess. Of course, there are also Lu Zhengping's own reasons, after all, his common maps are very different from the maps at this time, and his inability to understand does not mean that others cannot understand.
This is what those people have worked so hard to get, and what kind of secret does it hide? The third uncle didn't have time to tell Lu Zhengping, and Lu Zhengping also understood the great significance. Just finding the place where the map is drawn takes some thought.
The map that would be unknown for a while was not important at the moment, and after putting away the map, Lu Zhengping began to retrieve what he had searched from that group of people. There are many things that I have never seen, but I can guess by the appearance, and some things that I really can't tell what they are can only be put aside for the time being. For this reason, it was divided into two piles, one pile of items that Lu Zhengping felt could be explained, and one pile of things that really couldn't be associated.
It is not difficult to understand that there is only one thing in this group of people, and judging from the appearance, it should be some kind of communication tool, with a round appearance, the size of a palm, inlaid with an unnamed gem in the middle, and there are fine holes around the circle. The gemstone has no luster, as if it has lost its inner energy, as for what kind of energy is used to drive it, Lu Zhengping is of course not clear.
In addition, there is a special object on the body of the poor woman who died, cylindrical, five centimeters in diameter, about ten centimeters high, the overall hollow is silver-gray, there is a pull ring in the middle, gently pulled, it seems that there is nothing, in fact, a thread as thin as a hair connects the two ends, and it can retract itself. The workmanship is exquisite, the material is extraordinary, and the filament is extremely tough, as long as it is wrapped around the neck of a person, the head will definitely not be saved.
