Chapter 35 Decoy
Victoria is tall and has a serious expression. Although she is dressed no differently than an ordinary agent, wearing a white shirt and a black body armor, at a glance, you can still tell the difference between them.
She is very smart, has a clear purpose in doing things, and only makes friends with people who are valuable and worthy of her friendship. You can say that she is a refined egoist, or you can say that she represents the elite of today's generation of America.
Bella has proven her worth and has no clear personal label, so she has classified her into a range where she can invest appropriately and continue to observe.
Victoria Hand has a wide network of contacts. She knows many people in the education, political and military circles. She studied well in college, has many friends, and is a well-known sports athlete. As for whether she really loves sports, then
God knows...
After graduation, I made a lot of friends. Although I can't say that I have friends all over the world like George W. Bush, I can still say that I have a wide circle of friends.
Bella is still in the ignorant stage about going to college here. Victoria Hand used her own experience to share some experiences and provide some valuable suggestions that will be beneficial to her future development.
...
After nearly a day of arduous trek, the large army finally entered the Zapalpa Canyon early the next morning.
After two hundred years of erosion, no trace of human life can be seen in the canyon. Just as the Indian chief who cursed with his life said, he returned this land to nature.
The tree canopy blocked the sky, and half-meter-high weeds could be seen everywhere. The survivors plus agents, a large force of more than a hundred people, their arrival broke the tranquility in the canyon. The insects fled their homes one after another, and some kind of sleeping consciousness
Is slowly waking up.
They are just looking for trouble. The agents don't care about natural harmony with the insects in the canyon. The curse of the Indian chief will break out on the night of the full moon. Before that, they need to build a strong residence to withstand Bella's endless words.
Endless swarm of insects.
The agents had some disputes over the level of defense. Some people thought that building some strong rooms was enough, while others thought that the camp must be built according to the standards of a fortress. Finally, Victoria Hand raised this issue to Bella.
"How big do you think the swarm will be?"
I didn't know how large it was! It was a curse, a category of magic, and it couldn't be considered using common sense, such as the food chain, climate and environment, and other factors.
Bella took out her notes: "Look at this paragraph, this is the description that the owner of the notes, the missionary, heard from others... He said that the sky was completely covered at that time, and the Indians...
.... No, we now call them Native Americans! The blood of the indigenous people dyed the river red, and the colonists... No, well, they should be called American pioneers! The pioneers used civilized means to persuade the original people
After the residents left, they encountered countless insect attacks..."
After being corrected by Victoria Hand, Bella had already paid great attention to the use of these words. No one cares about what you think in your heart, but you still have to pay attention in public.
"This fortress cannot be too strong. If we isolate the unknown enemy, then our efforts will be in vain! But it cannot be too weak. In addition to the bait, the survivors must face the unknown enemy, and the other survivors must also face the curse.
The insect swarm attack brought about."
The core meaning is just one sentence, the defense level cannot be too strong, but it cannot be too weak either.
Don't let the Indian curse kill us all before death comes. That would be ridiculous.
In modern society, there are many mechanical equipments, and some houses can be built very quickly. In the morning, we entered the canyon, and in the evening, a medium-sized building complex was completed.
The agents have generators, which can supply electricity to a limited extent, but there is very little water. It is conservatively estimated that they will have to stay here for at least two days. Even if they can buy water from a distant town, it should not be wasted.
No one made a loud noise at this time, everyone was secretly on guard, waiting for the arrival of the unknown enemy.
Whispers are indispensable. Although under the premise of life-threatening, everyone can temporarily put aside those unrealistic fantasies, but a large number of people coming to such a deserted place will always cause some discussion.
Bella has no explanation for this. With the official people here, why does she need to talk more? You can just fool me!
Not to mention, Victoria Hand is really a talent. She used excuses such as "the invisible killer cannot kill in the forest" and "the other party cannot use high-tech equipment in a complex environment" to cover up the survivors' doubts.
.
Things like Death are not suitable for ordinary people to know. Even Bella, an insider, Victoria Hand, uses the term "unknown enemy" to refer to it.
In order to give Death an opportunity, the agents deliberately placed many safety hazards in the building.
Broken ropes, leaky electrical appliances, loose iron frames, and all kinds of death traps were set up by them. From the perspective of the God of Death, the survivors are prey, but if you change your perspective, you will find that
Death is also prey!
If the insect swarm caused by the curse does not come into contact with the God of Death, it will definitely not work. But if hundreds of thousands or millions of insects flood in, then they will not be able to withstand it. How to balance the relationship between the two so that the God of Death can confront the curse?
This will test the survivor's ability to control.
"The records say that the curse is launched at the brightest moment of the moonlight at night. Maybe we can set a few key nodes?..."
Bella was not very sure at this time. The words in the missionary's notes were all what he heard from hearsay. People who have personally experienced this Indian curse have died. Who knows when the curse will be strongest.
Victoria Hand frowned. She had experienced many supernatural events, so she didn't understand them at all.
It is because I understand that I feel that this timing is difficult to grasp.
"Let's make two plans. First..."
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. If you are ready, then let me take the initiative to trigger the curse."
Storm Ororo has been playing catch-up, but at this critical moment, she stepped out and solved a core problem for everyone.
Storm was not very old, she looked to be in her twenties. Bella wanted to go over and get close to her, but the eldest sister kept a straight face and kept her distance from everyone, leaving her no chance to speak.
.
Now is a good opportunity.
Bella volunteered: "I was the first to predict the plane crash, and I will be the bait."
Chapter completed!
