Chapter 103: Bait
No one could have imagined that a peaceful life would end so suddenly.
Leon had planned to go to Chapel Hill again after spending 40 days on the boulder, and he still needed to finish the mess of the five-star union incident, even if the black star corpses thrown on the road had been gnawed by the mutant beasts, thus deceiving the five-star union, he also needed to go to Chapel Hill to observe the follow-up events, and he had promised Xiu Moore that he would carry this matter to the end.
However, plans don't always change as fast as they come.
The race between the wolf king and the war bear often extends their range beyond the 20 kilometers around the boulder, and when the wind starts to pick up on the day, they bring back a man. While the woman covered in blood was shaken to the ground by the war bear, Leon was following a dozen teenagers from the Uzmund gang to erect the first large reflector bend at the end of the queen's tent.
Leon stopped moving, waved his hand at the draggers, and hurried to the side of the war bear,
"Where did you pick him up?" Leon half-knelt on the ground, looking carefully at the dying woman, who was Leighton, the deputy head of Saint Laurent, and then he looked up and motioned to Nero to find Columbus,
"Behind that big mound in the southeast" Big Stomach looked at his bloodstained White Rock Horn and couldn't help but sniff, "If I hadn't recognized this guy's face, maybe Nero would have eaten him"
"Oh, you still eat people?" Leon asked calmly, watching Columbus examine Layton's injuries,
"We won't take the initiative to attack humans to fill our stomachs, but I think, just as I wouldn't object to you picking up a bear and eating it, you wouldn't object to us eating a dead stranger" The huge head of the war bear leaned next to Leon, and his expression was very serious,
"Well, that makes sense" Leon also replied seriously, he felt that the respect he gave to the War Bear and the Wolf King was worth it, they were thinking more and more about the relationship with humans, he reached out and patted the head of the War Bear, as if to say to the Great Bear, and as if to say to himself: "This era is like this, or the world is like this......"
"This is like an old man" War Bear's little blue eyes looked at Leon suspiciously, making the boy can't help but smile, "There are a lot of guys who say this about me lately"
A few hours later, Layton was lying in the queen's tent with 57 wounds the size of her body, and the one that caused her to be unconscious was an icy bullet that pierced her skull from the right side, and the other wounds were not fatal, but they were definitely very painful.
Just looking at those wounds, Leon was able to determine that something had happened to Chapel Hill. Leighton was a decoy sent by the enemy, unconscious, painful, and cruel enough, so that this bloody body told Leon how much the other party hated him, and Leon couldn't get a word of specific information, and the icy bullet made Leighton easily unable to wake up, and even brainwave communication was impossible.
The atmosphere in the queen's tent was solemn, Chapel Hill used to be just a business channel for them, but now the bond with the boulder there is no longer just a few metal coins, even if everyone doesn't know the relationship between Leon and Xiumore, but at least there are flower spirits there, and Qilan, and Mu Oude, and a bunch of people who can't explain it, it seems to make them worry.
Leon's face was calm and his eyes were dull, and Columbus looked at him from the side, and couldn't help but wonder if the eyes he had seen the other night were hallucinations. After a while, Leon finally spoke:
"I went to Chapel Hill with Hei E, everyone else stayed, the construction speed of the boulder must be accelerated, this time it was the other party who judged the general direction, threw off the bait, and next time maybe you can touch it directly, the mound that the big stomach said, no more than 40 kilometers away from us, has reached the bottom line of the boulder's vigilance"
There was silence in the tent, no one spoke, and they all understood the seriousness of the matter.
"I can take the snake beast five kilometers away and make a cordon" Medusa began, she had been silent since she came to the boulder, and now the group of snake beasts she could directly command had been reduced to 200, and most of the command could only be handed over to Columbus, and the plummeting combat power frustrated her. Leon couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he saw Medusa's expression, and at the same time, a black-fronted voice sounded in his head:
"You can try, then she'll be a little happier"
Leon took a deep breath and said, "Okay, but not far, and ......" he looked at the three old men, "Lao Jiao, can you make a monitor for the connection of the cranial nerves?"
Columbus was very surprised, his glasses dilated the disbelief in his pupils even more, "Do this to a comatose person?" he couldn't help but ask,
"Is there a better way?" Leon remained calm, apparently just seriously discussing the problem itself, and did not hesitate in the slightest because of Columbus's tone, Columbus's expression was more complicated, and he felt that he could not see through the boy more and more.
The next day, taking advantage of the wind, Leon and Blackforehead hurried on their way, this time riding on the Great Stomach of the War Bear.
The roaring wind did not affect the communication of these two people and one beast in the slightest, and their brain waves made communication unhindered.
"The fragments that remained in Layton's mind were so blurry, and the timing was out of order, and her brain was badly wounded," Black Forehead recalled the noisy images on the monitor.
"Enough," Leon replied, and then the voice of the stomach sounded in the heads of the two men:
"When did you become so cold, don't you care about the life and death of that human?" War Bear was obviously a little unaccustomed to Leon's state in the past two days, and he even began to feel faintly uneasy, which made War Bear run even more bumpy. And Leon began to smile when he heard its question,
"Big stomach, you should learn one more word, and that is 'trust'...... Of course, there is a reason for my attitude, many of the injuries on Layton's body are of her own infliction, and I have seen her weapon Blazing Rock Lash once, and I can't be wrong"
"No wonder she didn't bleed to death," Hei Forehead suddenly interjected, and it turned out that he also had doubts in his heart, "but why did she do this?
"Lao Jiao has shown a lot of clues in the brainwave fragment, she is the party who has been co-opted, but with my understanding of the woman Leighton, if it is just money to lure her, she will definitely not be tempted, at least it is a right that makes her very longing, or a person who cares a lot, can touch her heart" Leon fell into the analysis again, I don't know how many times this thought has tumbled in his mind,
"That shot was that after she agreed to cooperate, the other party suddenly changed his mind?" Black Forehead is obviously not very good at these conspiracies, and the two of them can't help but think at the same time, it would be good if Locke Dorjee was here, and at this moment Leon could only analyze it head-on,
"Or the other party felt that her value was to be a bait from the beginning, so after she was injured and unable to fight back, he simply made up for it......" Leon's thinking gradually became clearer, but he faintly felt that it was not entirely right,
"So, she's an unlucky guy who has been taken advantage of?" War Bear was finally relieved, and couldn't help but sigh: "She's really unlucky, almost like a dead person"
"And she's got a tracker buried in her," Leon added calmly, but let the big stomach stagger, and the war bear roared, "Isn't that boulder dangerous!
"So we're going to cut down the root of that conspiracy, and I believe the answer lies in Chapel Hill......" Leon finished speaking, his mood suddenly brightened, no matter how much the facts deviated from their guesses, this step was always right, it was definitely not his nature to huddle in a boulder to fight a defensive battle, thinking of the battle he was about to face, he couldn't help but let out a long roar, and the loud voice drifted along with the unbridled nuclear particles in the endless red wilderness.
The big stomach let out a sigh of relief, and the kid finally returned to normal.
