Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh full mountain
Mingguang West, 2,700 kilometers away, is still a hilly area. Peak 23S.
Fastest update
Rifts of smoke rose from the camp surrounded by hundreds of giant wilderness chariots, and the smell of fire and barbecue filled the air.
In the command vehicle in the center of the camp, more than a dozen accompanying technicians were making emergency repairs, and a variety of precision parts were scattered all over the place.
The hunters gathered around their armored vehicles, eating barbecue and talking to each other.
Their expressions are different, but one thing is consistent, that is, dissatisfaction.
The glance towards the command vehicle was full of contempt for the incompetent.
If the reconnaissance team alone goes missing, Mingguang's mission team can send a group of people to reorganize the reconnaissance team. After all, they still have thousands of people. So what if they lose one reconnaissance team?
However, the command vehicle loaded with various instruments suddenly crashed, causing the commander to panic and the trip was delayed for a time.
The most important of these are the communication devices that can remotely contact the base city, and the electronic terrain map that stores the destination coordinate points and detailed routes.
No one has ever reached the so-called Luan Mountain, and the route map provided by Mingguang was only detected through instruments. Many places were different from the actual situation, but that was the only thing the mission troops relied on.
Two things, just so simple, scrapped.
Captain Liu's car and the Pangolin were parked together. Twenty-two people from the two teams were sitting around the fire, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Captain Liu's eyebrows almost knitted together, "The dozens of people in the reconnaissance team just disappeared? Where did they go? Did they escape or were they all wiped out? What about the malfunction of the command vehicle?"
"Everyone, please share your thoughts."
"I don't call you that person, I am your Grandpa Dashan."
Huang Dashan snorted,
"After the large force passed by, I secretly went back and took a closer look at the location where the reconnaissance team disappeared. There was no sign of struggle, no human traces, not even a single human hair. I couldn't tell that anyone was there.
Pass."
"There must be something wrong with them. They used some means to deceive us and even tampered with the command vehicle before leaving."
Bai Qiong shook his head,
"This is more than two thousand kilometers away from the base city. How can they go without a car or supplies? Are they going to be savages in the middle of nowhere? What's the point of doing this?"
A group of people sighed together.
Huang Dashan chewed the flower seeds,
"Oh, I don't care what other people think. I know that no matter who the reconnaissance team is trying to trick or is being tricked, our large army may not be in trouble without the command vehicle, but everyone in the reconnaissance team is dead!"
"..."
Damn it, look at people’s consciousness.
Captain Liu suddenly had the urge to smear Huang Dashan's face with his shoe soles.
Yan Zi came back from the direction of the command, her face was ugly, she shook her head and said,
"The command vehicle is completely destroyed and cannot be repaired... They said they are going to reorganize a reconnaissance team. Master Shan, they asked you to come over in a while."
Shan Ye hummed,
"I'm afraid. It's only a few thousand kilometers. No matter how far it is, it's still wilderness. It was delayed for three days because of a car. It's hard for him to do it."
The vast majority of alien animals have extremely sensitive senses of smell. With so many humans staying here for three days, all kinds of smells would have spread far away.
In the past three days, the task force has encountered two groups of strange beasts. Although they suffered no losses but were quite happy, who knows if there are more more dangerous beasts on the way?
Everyone nodded in agreement. Exposed to the wilderness for a day, there was an unknown danger. The commander's behavior was very unwise.
It took another afternoon before the task force set off, moving slowly like a long dragon.
Forty people of average strength were selected from the hunt to form a reconnaissance team, maintaining a five-kilometer contact range to explore the road ahead.
The new leader of the reconnaissance team is Huang Dashan.
This old thorny head still has a high prestige among hunters. For example, on a certain day of a certain year, he once made a garrison lieutenant general doubt his life and directly used firearms in Bafanglou.
In the eyes of hunters, if this is not prestige, what else can it be?
The hilly areas separated from the swamp were barren of grass. The narrow valleys were filled with large boulders that had rolled down from the hills. They were gray-black and as soft as tofu dregs and could be broken easily.
This is not within the scope of the reconnaissance team's consideration. The wilderness chariot will completely grind these stones into powder.
The reconnaissance team is mainly responsible for paying attention to possible groups of strange beasts. They do not need to fight head-on. They only need to warn the large forces behind through radio.
Everyone in the reconnaissance team was equipped with high-magnification telescopes, but they became useless in this valley composed of countless hills.
A group of people wandered around the valley for a long time and found no danger.
"Split up a few people and go up the mountain. How far are these damn hills?"
The hills are not high, about 200 meters high, and they cover everything in sight. From a distance, they look like rice fields.
"good."
Several figures were climbing up the hill. Before they had gone two hundred meters, something happened.
Everyone at the foot of the hill saw the ground behind a few people surging like waves, rushing towards them.
There was no time to remind them, those people instantly became shorter, their parts from the knees down disappeared instantly, and blood spurted out.
"Fuck! Get back now!"
Everyone screamed and rushed up the mountain.
"Help!"
However, the few people who went up the mountain seemed not to notice it at all, and just talked and laughed with their broken legs and staggered up.
The top of Huang Dashan was instantly covered with cold sweat,
"Don't go, come back!!"
A gray-black "wave" slowly rose up behind those people, like a ferocious beast hidden under the soil, advancing silently.
"Uh-huh."
There was a soft sound in the distance, and the figures of those people suddenly became shorter and disappeared from the waist down.
Even so, they were still crawling slowly up the hill, with blood and internal organs trailing behind them for a long time.
There was even one person who waved to everyone at the foot of the hill with a smile on his face.
A bone-chilling chill filled everyone's hearts. After a while, someone said harshly,
"here we go again."
"Uh-huh."
The hills have completely lost all traces of their existence.
With a stern expression on his face, Master Shan took out his giant ax and walked cautiously up the hill.
"Master Shan, you..."
Master Shan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to come over.
I saw him using a big ax to push away a layer of soil. In other words, it was not soil at all.
At the border with the real soil, there is gray-black floc, which is very similar in color.
Inside, there are countless finger-thick vines hidden inside, their roots are intricately intertwined, and their surface is covered with pitch-black spikes.
