Chapter 41: Tenderness on a Moonlit Night
"Is the ultimate secret in the outpost research base the key to triggering the beast tide attack?
Why are you so obsessed with this thing that you can't take away?
Sacrificing all the previous expeditions, what is your overall goal?
Not really, just looking for some dispensable thrills, right? ”
There are many secrets in the outpost research base, but Gogol is obsessed with this, and he is happy to lead the team to the outpost research base, which must hide some of his core motives.
This motivation is very important, and perhaps it is the root of Gogol's persistence here.
In the face of Bai Ning's direct provocation, Gogol just pouted and laughed, as if he had no desire to answer, and the two fell into some kind of indescribable stalemate.
Bo Xinshan, who was in charge of translation on the side, was forced by this dull pressure, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, looking a little dazed and at a loss.
Was that really something he could listen to?
"I suspect that this secret that cannot be taken away is the key to unlocking the true secret treasure of Tunguska."
Gogol's words were shocking, and Bo Xinshan was a little suspicious of whether he had heard it wrong, but his mouth moved quickly and accurately fulfilled his duties as a translator.
Hearing this explanation, Bai Ning instantly thought of the red crystal nucleus in his hand.
Bai Ning also thinks that this is the key to unlocking the Tunguska Secret Treasure, what is the essential connection between this and the secret treasure key that Gogol said?
Bai Ning, who was suddenly shocked in his heart, instantly felt that he had been fooled, and Gogol's remarks were more like a kind of spying on the peaks and loops.
Taking advantage of Bai Ning's momentum of wanting to spy on important secrets, he took advantage of the situation and wanted to start exploring the secrets in Bai Ning's heart.
This move was extremely clever, Bai Ning exclaimed in his heart, and he became more and more jealous of Gogol.
"Good.
I hope so. ”
Bai Ning responded simply, and then turned around and left directly.
This is a very ambiguous response, there seems to be everything in it, and there seems to be nothing, completely depending on the understanding between the two.
This sudden confrontation is intense and short, and the depth is not visible, as if it is done casually.
Gogol just watched Bai Ning leave, and did not show too much, the road ahead is still very long, and those who can't bear it are usually losers.
……
Not everyone can sense the approaching danger, the atmosphere in the camp is becoming more and more relaxed, stealing alcohol has become a norm, the outlaws eat meat and drink, and the camp defense seems to be a little looser.
The noise in the camp seems to have become the only sound here, like a solo, and I don't know what kind of mortal emotions are hidden in the tune.
A fleeting pleasure in the midst of suffering?
Or is it a paralyzing apocalyptic?
No one can judge, the only thing that can be judged is the results.
Bai Ning's eyes were gloomy when he was patrolling the camp, not because of the outlaws' negligence, but because the darkness outside the camp was too deadly and silent.
The intense darkness is gratuitously heart-wrenching, like the ultimate color of death.
When Bai Ning found Ivan, he was also hiding alone in his tent to enjoy leisure, the coffee beside him was fragrant and pure, and the sound in the headphones was very loud, and it seemed to be opera faintly.
I didn't expect this rough-bearded man to have such an aesthetic taste, and his character characteristics are indeed full of surprises everywhere.
Sensing that someone was coming in, Ivan sat up straight suddenly, and saw that it was Bai Ning, and he slowly fell back into the chair, his eyes flickering, as if he knew that nothing good was good.
"It seems that you are very confident in dealing with the night attack of the beasts."
Bai Ning's mocking tone took precedence over the translator and slammed into Ivan's face, making him sit up straight again and sip the coffee in his cup.
"The defense system has been put in place, and such a system has been tested in actual combat, do you have any additional worries?"
I don't know the purpose of Bai Ning's coming, Ivan's response is very careful, trying not to fall into Bai Ning's trap.
"The deeper you go into the forest, the greater the risk here, that's common sense.
But when your men are out drinking, and you are hiding in tents to enjoy themselves, do you think that the fangs of the giant boar are not sharp enough? ”
Very bland questioning, this kind of overly bland conversation made Ivan a little confused.
With Bai Ning's ability, those outlaws outside were completely in the palm of his hand, was it necessary to run over and reprimand him Ivan?
The more doubts in his heart, the more difficult it was for Ivan to answer.
"If the onslaught of the beasts continues all night, are you confident that you will be able to repel it?
If not, are you ready to run away? ”
Seeing that Ivan didn't answer, Bai Ning continued to ask a few questions, which made Ivan even more confused and a little speechless.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Already forced into the wall, Ivan replied with difficulty, his words trembling slightly, and he sounded completely unconfident.
Looking at such an unbearable Ivan, Bai Ning knew that he was now in a state of drifting, and he had no established expectations for the follow-up risks, only everyone followed.
Anyway, Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue are here, and he has nothing to be afraid of as a little Ivan.
Ivan's current identity is that of a pure outlaw leader, struggling to survive in many cracks, only hoping that he would better not die in the depths of this dense forest.
"The danger of this dense forest is completely beyond your mind's expectations, and you feel powerless to do anything but go with the flow.
However, I would like to make it clear that the whole team does not need to be wasted, and you better keep up your spirit and make the most of your role.
Otherwise, you may be the first cannon fodder to be sacrificed. ”
Bai Ning's cold response sent chills down Ivan's spine, and he felt like a piece of crushed waste, struggling to survive in the cramped grounds of the garbage incineration.
Thinking of the outlaws who were killed by Bai Ning, the chill behind Ivan was even stronger.
Ivan does regret a little, why would a person who can't carry out his own value to the end come to participate in this kind of?
Although he felt remorse, but he had fallen into Bai Ning's calculations before, and he was pushed to this point, and there was no way out at all, Ivan could only sigh secretly.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation in the field still required him to remain calm, Ivan really wanted to cry speechlessly and vent happily.
"I understand my work orientation very well, and I also hope that you can conscientiously fulfill your work positioning, and everyone can cooperate well to tide over the difficulties together."
Ivan responded with a smile, but the smile was not very natural.
He knew that his threat or plea had no weight at all, and he just hoped that Bai Ning would not sacrifice him as useless cannon fodder.
After beating Ivan, Bai Ning immediately left, and soon the camp began to be filled with Ivan's hearty laughter.
Scolding the outlaws, Ivan did not dare in this situation, he could only use his personality charm to drive these lax outlaws, so that they could better perform the basic duty of defending the camp.
Returning to the tent to rest normally, as if he had just closed his eyes, he was awakened by the sudden commotion in the camp.
When they ran out to look, they found that there were gunshots in one direction of the camp, and the outlaws stationed in that direction were awakened and ran out to participate in the battle one by one.
Before Bai Ning could lean over to check, the gunfire over there had stopped, and the outlaws who had gathered returned to the camp to sleep again.
It is clear that there are not many wild animals attacking the camp, but this phenomenon is enough to show that there is nothing wrong with Gogol's dangerous prophecy.
The Boar King has noticeably become more savvy, preparing to drain the camp's energy reserves as much as possible before the official night raid.
The situation in the second half of the night was also as Bai Ning expected, waves of wild animals came over and attacked at night, scattered, making the outlaws who kept vigil miserable.
The resting outlaws were no better, and they all woke up the next day in low spirits.
The progress of the journey slowed down significantly, the team became silent again, and the continuous night attacks of the beast herds, everyone knew what this meant, and everyone looked preoccupied.
The fresh meat at lunchtime also made the outlaws not interested in anything, everyone just scribbled it over, and many people took advantage of this gap to catch up on sleep.
The team's anomaly is too obvious, tonight's camping time has been greatly advanced, although the outlaws are weak, but they are still working hard, and the overall state of the camp looks even stronger than the previous one.
It was night, and the beast tide attack predicted by Gogol did not come, but the continuous beast attacks continued throughout the night.
The next day, the outlaws were in a worse state of mind, yawning one by one, and they didn't have any energy to leave the camp at all.
Gogol's dangerous prophecy has failed, and it represents a major deviation in Gogol's experience here.
The danger in the depths of the jungle is all in chaos, and this is a sign of even greater danger!
Bai Ning didn't want to criticize Gogol for anything, but wanted to take the opportunity to get more useful information from him.
At present, the most important thing is the information here, even if this information may be completely useless, but it can be used for reference and comparison, predicting greater risks, and it can also exert some residual heat.
……
"Bosses, shouldn't you take a full day off, the brothers haven't slept well for two nights in a row.
Not to mention that I was also scared all night, and the bosses must be very tired of it. ”
If this toss continues, Ivan feels that the whole team may collapse at any time, and if the wild boar herd suddenly attacks while the people are sleepy, it will inevitably be a catastrophic consequence.
Ivan was originally going to use himself as an example to persuade him, but seeing Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue's shining spirits, the second half of his sentence was changed.
In Ivan's opinion, the hearts of these people are really big, and they can sleep all night long with the gunshots, do they really have such confidence in their brothers?
