Chapter 1606: Plans, Information Gaps, and Celebrities (Part II)
The sounds of birds and cicadas have long since disappeared and are no longer there. Only the sound of steam gushed out, and it was scattered all around. The side of the falling airship was already filled with a large area of milky white steam, which touched the ground like a falling cloud, condensed into water, and soaked down. There seemed to be no living objects in the place, no breath was gone, and in the early morning sun, only the shadows of trees and rocks deepened.
The movements are very gentle, and even the gestures used to convey information are kept to a minimum by Mousse and Mavis, as if they are afraid of setting off a current. Mousse lay on the ground, and the moment the bomb hit the airship, he went straight out of the room through the round window in front of him, attached himself to the shell, jumped down at a suitable distance and at a suitable angle, and went to the side for a short time, allowing the dead leaves to cover himself.
Mavis and Agnes did the same, but there were only three of them, and Isabel and Augustus, as well as Saint-Ged, remained in the airship and fell to the ground with it.
When the bomb hit the airship, they were not far from the ground, about 30 meters. The height is not high enough to be fatal, but it can cause some trouble. The airship is almost entirely made of metal, and if it falls with it, the impact is much worse than if the mousse had landed on the dirt floor.
The seven did not disperse, and that little time did not support them to do more. Now that no one worries about their own injuries and the injuries of others, if an attack of this magnitude can incapacitate someone, then it is only natural that the alliance will automatically break down.
"Continue to wait?" Mousse only allowed the dead leaves to poke out of his palms, except for the slight rotation of his head, his body had been artificially ossified, and he no longer moved like a dead thing, and the rhythm of his breathing was also controlled to the limit. His middle and index fingers tapped each other slightly, rhythmically, to send messages to the likes of Mavis and the others around him.
The surroundings were so quiet that the enemy's attack was like an untimely shower on a sunny day, which came suddenly and then disappeared in a hurry. In fact, all seven of them believed that at the moment after the airship fell, they should have been greeted by several, if not a dozen, of teams rushing out of the surrounding woods. Then the network of firepower intertwined, blocking their retreat.
He deserves the enemy's this, and from the analysis of the bomb that the opponent shot down the airship, that kind of thing definitely came from Ye Jielin. It is absolutely impossible for a team to swim in the mountains to carry something like that, and the number, power, and variety do not correspond to the characteristics of the procession.
The enemy has an insight into the pattern of his daily handover location and has been prepared for it. That's one thing that the seven know for sure, and don't doubt it. But what does it mean to be quiet at the moment? The enemy is waiting to scatter the surrounding ranks and converge here?
"Is the other side waiting for reinforcements any longer, is there not enough team around us to pose a threat to us, or are they not sure and need to increase their confidence in numbers?"
"The signal has been jammed, and in the short period of time just now, the crew has probably not been able to contact the side of the mine. The contingency plan kicks off half an hour after the signal disappears, and the enemy should understand this. If they choose to wait, can they be sure that it will support faster than they guessed?" All four of them were thinking, and none of their questions could be answered.
"Are we being too careful?" said Lydin, who had been silent, "if we want to be sure enough to eat the seven of us, and without a few enemies equal to us, even if there are more than a thousand enemies, we won't have a problem leaving, right?"
Immediately opposed, and the three of them tacitly voted the same no.
"The current information is enough to show that the other party is well prepared, and already knows the pattern of our daily handover by airship, and the location has also been explored. This is enough to show that the other side has a rough idea of the number of people on our side. Even if the other party doesn't know about the existence of me and Isabel, but the five of you, they definitely have this amount in their hands. Agnes dismissed Lydin's thoughts, "We still have some time to consume, we might as well analyze the current situation." Isabel and St. Gede in the airship, they should do the same thing again. β
"Also, there's one thing I care about. Whether it's perception or temperature detection, at least within a kilometer, I haven't noticed anything abnormal. "Not just Agnes, but the other six didn't catch anything. Although the intensity of perception decreases with distance, if the number of enemies is large, some traces will not be able to cover up, and they will always be caught.
But for now, all that everyone can feel is a quiet forest between the mountains, and nothing else.
"Can the enemy observe us?" was a question that was important to Mavis and them, because once they were sure, they could analyze how much freedom they had now, "Are there any people among the enemies who are good at stealth?"
"If we are stealth, without the influence and cover of the external environment, we are in a state of battle, and if we are concentrated, even if the other party is an assassin of the Hill family with equal strength, it is impossible to come to a distance that can attack us. Agnes' message seems to reveal that he had a similar encounter, "I'm concerned if the enemy knows where we are, and the airship falling is not enough for all four of us to hide all of us." β
"Why don't you try, the further back the time goes, the closer the enemy may get to us. Mavis tried to lead, but none of them answered her. Silence fell for a moment.
"I feel a back and forth gaze!" After a few breaths, Lydin, who stopped moving in silence, suddenly conveyed what he felt, "It's very faint, the distance is relatively far, but it's about a kilometer." The direction γγγ the direction of seven o'clock, and the bomb launch position moves clockwise about 100 degrees!"
A few breaths passed, and Lydion felt that the faint vision seemed to be gradually increasing. It's just that there is no regularity, and for a while he can't judge. The rigidity of his body became more and more severe, and Lydion had stopped breathing, and he lay flat without turning his head slightly, only moving his eyes to get information.
In the perception, in the direction determined by Lidion, his perception is secretly and delicately spread out, showing a fan-shape, not letting go of every small place. But there was nothing, and the gaze that swept back and forth seemed like an illusion of his own imagination, and it was clear that it was gradually strengthening in the senses, but there was nothing in the determined position.
"The Hill Assassins?" the other three were unable to find anything.
"There is definitely an enemy there. "The distance is getting closer, and the intensity of the glance has increased, right in my place." I was probably caught a little bit of a trail when I jumped off the airship. β
"Is this a way to attract the other person to show their flaws?"
"I tried to find the exact location of the enemy. "At the moment, the enemy has only determined that I am in a range, but not exactly where I am. "The high concentration of attention allows Lydion to spread out his perceptual network more finely, but the grid of the network is not too big to receive what he wants.
The sweep of the gaze was still irregular, but the feeling it gave Lydion was getting stronger and stronger. There was a noticeable increase in the number of times he went back and forth on himself, and there was a brief pause. It was an extremely sharp gaze, and at one point it made Lydion's body have an instinctive protective reaction. Relaying this information to Mavis and the others, Ledion showed that the enemy's position and bearing had not changed much, and that the distance was constantly approaching.
"Are we going in that direction?" Mousse asked for advice at the moment.
"There may be more than one enemy, and we don't know where we are. Agnes responded, "But a solution needs to be found." We are more constrained than the enemy, and the short time of the fall allows the enemy to calculate the approximate area we can disperse. β
"The gaze is getting heavier, and the saccade range is decreasing!" the speed of the finger impact showed the importance of Lydin's message, "This is the second pause in my place!"
"Inform St. Gede of the airship. That's when Mavis made her own suggestion.
"There's no good way to do it at the moment, and the slightest overly big move will be captured by the enemy. Agnes responded, "We are too lacking in information about the enemy, and knowing the number and disposition of the enemy, even if it is an approximate location, can make the situation easy at once." β
"The third pause, more than a second!" Lydin's interruption of the exchange of information, "I'm about to act, I'm not sure of the time, but you pay attention to the direction I'm saying." I'll head towards the airship to use it as cover, or I can join up with St. Gede and themγγγ"
"Fourth pause!" Lydion gestured his finger, "They do know the approximate location of my hiding after jumping off the airship, and the investigation is ongoing. There was only one line of sight to strafe back and forth, not sure if there were other people in the direction of the enemyγγγ"
"The fifth pause γγγ longer than γγγ," Lidion paused, and with concentrated perception, he seemed to "see" a man looking straight at him through the trees. But this feeling was only for a moment, and that sight suddenly disappeared and went somewhere else.
"Waitγγγ waitγγγ" All the sensations in his body were heightened, and Lydion paid attention to the gaze back and forth on his body, "Do you feel this gaze?" as if seeking comfort, the sharp gaze made Lydion very uncomfortable. At the same time, it may be a dissatisfaction with one's own luck.
Receiving a negative response, Lidion just smiled bitterly in his heart, and his gaze with great pressure suddenly came from a distance, directly pressing on him.
"I've been discovered!" the tapping fingers even made a slight clicking sound, and Lydion felt the weight in his sight, and when the rigid body instinct instantly regained vitality, a strong sense of danger instantly spread throughout his body. The source of the danger was too close to him, not at all a kilometer distance based on his field of vision, but just nearby, only about forty or fifty meters. As the dead leaves rose, Lidion ejected straight from the ground, his tightly held mouth open.
But before the first syllable could be heard, a dull continuous burst of gunfire came from the direction in which he had spoken, and it quickly spread around them.
"Suffer!" the most primitive reaction, Lidion's heart suddenly emptied.
In perception, the source of danger is not a kilometer away, but a place that is extremely close to oneself, and there is a considerable gap in direction deviation. More importantly, the sudden sound of gunfire caught his attention for a moment. I already sensed that the enemy was not in that direction, but I also lost my mind for a momentγγγ replaced it with Mavis and Agnesγγγ
Is the enemy's target really herself?
Lidion didn't continue to think about it, and the lack of information was not enough to support him to continue his analysis. While shouting "all dodge", he flipped his body in the air and pulled the trigger at the source of the danger in his perception.
