The remaining four people stayed in a warehouse that had emptied most of the supplies. They stayed silently and hardly said anything to each other. Sometimes the four people would look at each other, as if they wanted to talk but were worried about something, and in the end they didn't say anything.
exit.
It was Fennia who often broke the silence. As a rule, she would report the surrounding situation to Gardner in a low voice every two hours. During the rest of the time, Fenia was mostly eating, chewing slowly and carefully.
appearance, from compressed food to some high-end goods they later found in the airship - cans and the like. Finally, it was Fenia who found a box of wine in the crew control room, which was very welcome.
.
I don’t know if the wine played a role in relaxing the atmosphere. Although the four of them had long been immune to alcohol, after each of them drank one or two bottles, they gradually started talking to each other more. But it was all gossip, whether it was Gardner or not.
, or the other two, neither talked about the current situation or their past. As for why they came to the forest and why they were released, none of the four seemed interested.
The day passed like this, and the silence at night was even more terrifying. The four of them rested in a tacit understanding, and one person would always open his eyes when the other three closed their eyes, paying attention to the movements around them. The next morning around eight o'clock
, the injury on Gardner's back has improved a lot. At least among the four of them, he is the most flexible in terms of physical movements.
They began to weigh the supplies they needed to carry. When around ten o'clock, Fenia went to Gardner, each picked up weapons and some useful things, and left the airship. The other two followed naturally, and
It was like a tacit understanding without speaking. The four-person team seemed to have been their idea from the beginning.
The injuries to the legs of the twenty-seven people who survived the dragon's breath were not serious, so it would not affect their running speed. The speed of Gardner and others was very impressive. Two hours later, they had already arrived
More than a hundred kilometers away. On the way, some traces left by other teams yesterday were found. Several teams left one after another. There was almost no difference in the direction of travel. They all chose the shortest route.
At 12:30 noon, the four of them rested at the foot of an ancient tree, and Feniya was always responsible for keeping vigil around them.
"The range is too big." After only a few minutes of rest, Feniya nimbly fell down from the ancient branch and went to the three of them.
"The surrounding environment is very strange. Although this is my first time coming to the southern forest, based on my experience in other extreme areas, this is like a protected area, free from intrusion by other creatures, and we have not yet
Get out of this area." The man who spoke looked very young, with a face of about thirty years old, and a strong body, the kind of muscled people often found in gyms in the ordinary world.
"I don't know if it's good or bad." Gardner, who was sitting on the side, sighed, "If it weren't for the attack of the former Dragon Knight, we would have faced this lord. In short, both sides will be bad. I hope that before we leave, the Dragon Knight
The deterrence left behind is still there, and this lord will not take the initiative to attack."
"After that..." Feniya is the kind of person who ruins the atmosphere. When the other three people tried their best to avoid mentioning the topic of leaving this place and meeting the second-type creatures, she spoke naturally and always said
Chewing compressed food in her mouth. The large-scale reconnaissance caused her energy consumption to be extremely fast.
"I hope those in front can help us do more." Gardner replied and stopped talking.
The twenty-minute break passed quickly, and the four of them got up and rushed on their way again. Along the way, they could occasionally see traces left by those who had left earlier. Compared to being far away from the airship, Gardner and the others did not handle the traces as well.
I am becoming less and less concerned. It can be seen from the traces that the condition of the people in front is not very good, and the rest intervals are short.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, after advancing nearly 200 kilometers again, Feniya finally saw some small insects in her perception. Her mood was somewhat relieved, but the distance was not long, and a small battlefield with two corpses made their mood change.
It was heavy. A large number of green wolf corpses, about fifty in number, were scattered around the battlefield. Bullet casings were scattered all over the ground. Judging from the traces and blood coagulation, this should be what the first batch of people leaving at night encountered.
The corpses had been eaten by other second-type creatures, and many of them had exposed bones. Moreover, many of the gnawing marks were extremely fresh, as if they had left shortly after arriving here.
The four of them did not stay here. The air was still filled with the smell of blood, which would not completely dissipate in a short time. Those fresh gnawing traces also worried them. It seemed that there were more terrifying things around, making these eating creatures
The second type of creature had to leave the same.
A few minutes later, another trace of battle appeared in front of the four of them. It was cleaner here. Except for some black blood and bullet casings on the ground, there was nothing else. The four of them looked at each other, and then Gardner
Wait for the three of them to focus their attention on Feniya.
"Except for bugs, there are nothing else." Feniya said, also confused about the anomalies in the surrounding environment. Her intuition told her that she could no longer move forward. In the direction they were moving, something dangerous was rushing towards them. Just like on the road
When you see a heavy truck, you will think about whether the truck will suddenly swerve towards you, subconsciously warning and avoiding danger.
"Don't you think it's strange?"
"No matter how weird it is, it's useless. It's the right thing to leave here as soon as possible." Gardner replied, but Fenia suddenly stopped, and he and the other two people instantly became nervous. The basic cooperation was still there,
The four people immediately separated, distanced themselves, went to the nearest ancient tree, and guarded the surroundings.
"Don't move, just keep your body close to the trees." Feniya reminded.
"Is it a second-category creature? What kind and how many are there?"
"It's not a second-category creature, it's almost certainly another surgeon." Fenia closed her eyes and focused most of her energy on investigating the surroundings. "We don't know the number yet, and we're not sure whether the other party has discovered it."
We. But we'd better keep it that way."
"Feniya?" After Gardner's voice came, Feniya opened her eyes with confusion on her face.
"It's the same type of surgeon. The other party also uses sound waves to detect the surrounding situation. I captured the sound wave pulse signal sent by the other party. I still don't know how wide the other party's detection range is. At least at the current time, the other party is about 30 meters away from us.
Two thousand meters away. This is the only information, please be patient." Feniya said softly, "I will tell you in time if there is any situation and be ready for battle."
Just a few breaths after her words fell, Feniya felt something else. Her mouth moved, as if she was tasting some delicious food. At this time, her eyes focused on the front. Behind the trees, Feniya seemed to
After seeing something, she was thinking about various possibilities.
"Captain, why don't we surrender?" The words that suddenly came out of Fenia's mouth less than a minute after the last sentence made Gardner and the others not sure how to answer for a while. All three of them looked over.
, there is no need to interpret the question about the eyes.
"Due to the strength of the throat, the strengthening of this part of the structural tissue has not been completed, which has led to my use of sound waves staying at a very preliminary stage. The detection range has indeed been an advantage in various employment tasks in the past, far better than sensing heat.
The range is nearly three times stronger, and the team hardly suffered any hardships in the battle. This is the main reason why you are willing to always believe in me, captain." Feniya spoke very slowly, some like last words, "The opponent is in the sound wave.
His use is much better than mine. He should have discovered us a long time ago, but because I can also use sound waves for detection, the other party may be using this to test and consider something. But a minute or so ago, these tests and
The consideration is complete, the opponent has launched an attack. It is a low-pitched wave, and there is no obvious reaction yet, just because the energy accumulation is not enough. We still have about two to three minutes to consider, please make a decision as soon as possible."
"Also, there is no obvious solution to this kind of attack at present. At least I know that there seems to be no good way except relying on physical strength to resist, or to kill the opponent, or to escape from the area of influence. But this
None of the three methods can be achieved."
"Where is the enemy? Now that they are here, are they those who set off early?"
"Maybe they are all dead, maybe there are people who survived, it's unclear at the moment." Feniya immediately responded to the other two's questions. She kept staring ahead, "I don't know where the enemy is, and they obviously know my detection range.
The limit has never appeared in the range. I suggest surrendering so as to have a chance to survive. Because the opponent only needs to stand around us and wait for a few minutes to make us lose combat effectiveness. In other words, when we really die,
I don’t even know where the enemy is or what he looks like.”
After finishing speaking, Feniya suddenly opened her mouth wide and inhaled: "I choose to surrender. Time is running out. I don't want to waste it here! The other party should be right in front of us!"
"Surrender!" Gardner chose to believe his team members. The remaining two men looked at each other at this time, and they could see the struggle in each other's eyes.
"Then,,, surrender. One or two of us don't have enough strength to walk to the edge of the forest. The distance is too far, the supplies are not enough, and the injuries on our backs, what should we do? What should we do?
How do we know we choose to surrender?"
"Just follow me." Feniya breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately left the ancient tree, stood in a relatively open place, lifted her backpack, weapons, etc. one by one, and threw them ten meters ahead.
place, and then raised their hands in a common posture and stood still. Gardner and the others also followed Feniya's movements until the four of them stood in the same position. Feniya immediately felt that
The powerful low-pitched ripples disappeared from his perception.
"The opponent is not attacking anymore." Feniya's words have always puzzled Gardner and others, because they can't feel those things at all. But the three of them suppressed their thoughts and waited quietly for the enemy she mentioned to appear.
"There is only one person, two thousand meters away from us."
"A person?" The other two people spoke first. Feniya didn't react at all.
"The speed is very fast, 1,500 meters." Feniya continued to talk about the detected situation, "Still alone, no one else is following."
"The count is correct, there are four of us, right? Can we find an opportunity?"
"One thousand meters, and still no one can keep up." Feniya continued her words, ignoring the words of others around her. "It's best not to have other ideas. The opponent's speed is at least less than three seconds for 100 meters, so he is very flexible.
"
"I think we can make a choice based on the situation after seeing the other party. If the other party won't let us go, there's no reason for us to stand here and wait to be killed by him, right?" Seeing that his words were not responded to, the speaker also consciously shut up.
On the mouth.
"We're here." As soon as Feniya finished speaking, a figure appeared in the gap between the silhouettes of the ancient trees. After a breath or two, a man with a mask appeared about ten meters in front of the four of them.
Stand in position.
"Are you the last batch?" The masked man looked around and asked.
"Yes, there is no one behind." Gardner was about to speak, but Fenia rushed to answer.
"In that case, let me ask two questions first. Please answer honestly, because this is related to your lives." While speaking, the man observed the four people in front of him, especially their facial expressions. Feniya also captured the extremely intense
High high-frequency sound wave pulses, "The first question, are you all prisoners who have just come out of prison? The second question, starting from the current time, is the time when you entered the prison. This lady, from you
