Bai E withdrew his gaze, lowered his head suddenly, and looked at his chest.
Without saying a word, he unbuttoned his combat uniform and lifted up the innermost black combat vest, revealing the small black round instrument that fit tightly against his skin.
In the morning I saw a flashing red light that had been out for a long time.
The small gray light bulb exists dimly and does not say a word.
"Hey? Why did your light go out?" Dashan didn't realize what happened. He had been watching Bai E's movements and asked subconsciously out of curiosity.
"Look at yours." Bai E didn't answer his question, but said in a serious voice.
In fact, even without Bai E's instructions, everyone else's nerves instantly became tense and they each opened their vests.
Only Yuzu turned around...
Within a moment, five sensors whose red dots had long been extinguished were gathered together.
"They said this light will keep flashing. If it flashes, it means it is working."
"It's not that this thing relies on our heartbeat and movement to generate electricity... so it won't run out of power."
"It's broken, aren't we already dead?" Dashan looked at the strange atmosphere in the carriage and wanted to liven up the atmosphere.
"Is it normal for new products from scientific research institutes to break sometimes?"
Yuyou didn't make any random guesses, but stared closely at Bai E, who was the first to discover this situation, and asked, "Bai E?"
Bai E narrowed his eyes, "I'm not dead yet, but I'm afraid I'm not far away from death."
"Don't scare me..."
"Did you find something?" Hu also frowned.
A small strangeness in a new product can't make a battle-hardened warrior like him panic.
As Song Ying said, new products from scientific research institutes are not always reliable.
"The signal has been cut off." Bai E said firmly, recalling the brief dazzling moment he felt and the performance of the sensor in front of him.
"how do you know……"
"Guess." Bai E didn't say much about his "spiritual sense". He just explained with cold eyes: "This sensor is a long-standing product. The scientific research institute just changed its signal receiving route. From then on,
LAN products have become Internet products, and their essence has not changed. It stands to reason that there will be no problems with quality. And even if it breaks, can the five of us break together? Of course, the most important point is to prepare for the worst... Always
That’s right.”
Tiger's eyes were lost in thought as he murmured to himself, "If the signal was intentionally cut off..."
A numbing chill instantly surged up from everyone's tailbones.
Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked out the window. The gradually darkening night outside was like an endless cage, covering the small space in the carriage.
The dim light lit in the carriage is the only hope they can embrace.
They were tracking bugs, and it was hard not to immediately think of bugs when their signals were cut off.
Moreover, there are no complex forces in the wild in this era, and there are only a handful of forces with this kind of technical means, and it stands to reason that only humans have it.
But the Zerg have had plasma cannons that can create electronic interference fields on frontal battlefields. Isn’t it surprising that this ability is shown now?
This race with infinite evolutionary possibilities is a miracle in the universe.
And if they made this move consciously, does it mean... those bugs are targeting our group?
"Is it... you will know after you try it." Bai E did not fall into endless speculation, and his eyes scanned around the car.
"What are you looking for?" Song Ying was curious about Bai E's gaze.
Search with purpose.
What else could he do in this situation?
Bai E did not answer, as his instinctive knowledge and technological capabilities allowed everything he saw to present their most essential appearance in his eyes.
After I have a plan of what I want to make in my mind, I have a clear understanding of what can be used, what cannot be used, and what can be used after being dismantled.
"Give this to me."
"Give this to me."
The technology in this world is sometimes very high, and sometimes it feels very low, but no matter what, when everyone goes out to perform a mission, they carry all kinds of small technological equipment such as remote-controlled reconnaissance aircraft, walkie-talkies, and remote-controlled bombs.
From these things, you should be able to make something you want by hand.
Is it specifically targeted at blasting these sensors? Or is there a shielding field that covers a certain range? You will know once you try it.
Level 2 knowledge - computer hardware maintenance, level 1 technology - basic electrical manufacturing and processing, this is the confidence to support myself in making this attempt.
Of course, we still have to try it to know whether it can work.
Bai E never expected that his newly acquired abilities would come in handy in an instant.
Carrying a seemingly messy pile of things, including five temporarily "broken" sensors, Bai E dove into the closed compartment at the rear.
"What is he going to do?"
Dashan looked confused, "I can't come~"
Song Ying rubbed his chin and muttered in his mind, "He wouldn't want to rub a long-distance communication device, would he?"
"..."
"..."
Everyone was silent for a while.
Is this really something that humans in the wild can do with their bare hands?
"Instead of talking about this, why don't we think about what we should do next?"
Bai E's action broke the silence just now, and the series of actions of opening the car door and entering the car from the rear also made them no longer feel the cold numbness in their hearts when they first realized this change.
Start thinking rationally, if what Bai E said is true, how should they deal with themselves?
"Retreat and report back?" Dashan preferred a more conservative plan.
"But what if it's just the influence of natural factors?" Song Ying also has his own interest in electronic instruments and other aspects, so he spent time and energy researching it to know more possibilities.
Going back directly could easily lead to being accused of disobedience. Soldiers on the battlefield cannot give up their responsibilities and tasks just because of some unreasonable speculation.
"And if it is really caused by insects, we should have been targeted." You's tone was cold. This little girl seemed to tend to think in a pessimistic direction when thinking about things. "If this is really the case, we should first think about how to deal with it.
Spend this night."
And...where is the enemy?
"Youyou, did you really not find any possibility of an insect ambush during the day's exploration?" Hu asked in a deep voice.
"No." Yuyou's tone was quite certain. From the comparison of the degradation degree of the body fluids secreted by the sandworms before and after, it can be clearly seen that these tunnels have been left for a long time.
Moreover, the tunnel is dry and closed.
There is an odor but not too strong.
Whether it is the unfamiliar but huge sandworms, or the familiar worker insects and beeworms from the past, there is not much possibility of ambush below.
"Then... let's wait for Bai E." Hu looked at the car behind him.
Bai E was the first to realize the problem. He was also quite calm after the accident and seemed to have his own complete response ideas.
If he hadn't been the first to check the sensors, they might not have known that the sensors on their bodies had lost their intended effect by the time they completed their mission and returned to camp.
It's better to wait until he confirms the "thing" he wants to confirm, and then everyone can make a decision.
"Before that, should we move closer to other teams?"
Everyone's scope of action has been planned in advance. Today is the first day of tracking. Even if the tracking route deviates from the planned area, it will not deviate too far.
"also……"
"Then there is no need to rest tonight and we will set off directly." Hu's voice became firm again.
If you are really being targeted, it is equally dangerous to turn off the lights and rest here. It is better to start approaching your teammates directly.
By comparing the experiences of other teammates, you may be able to find problems.
Even if he returns to the camp to report the news, there will be more reasons.
Not to mention that with their current position, the time cost of returning to camp is much higher than that of moving closer to their teammates.
"good!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Song Ying knocked on the car window facing the rear and asked on the intercom: "Xiao Bai, we are going to move towards other teammates, will it affect you?"
