Realizing that a trap had been set near the power armor, Lin Chi raised his hand to signal Frankenstein to step back, and he also began to move back quickly, avoiding the danger range near the armor.

Although the bomb looked like it was triggered, the possibility that the other side used a remote-controlled bomb cannot be ruled out. After all, those guys also installed cameras on the power armor, and if they rushed over to defuse the bomb and set up the trap, they might just detonate it remotely.

However, if those guys did install remote-controlled bombs, new problems arose again:

- Why did they do this?

It is a waste of resources to set up traps in the desert of Mars in order to kill passing scavengers. With the combat power of a scientist, the efficiency of directly driving a car and slaughtering criminals here with a heavy machine gun is definitely much higher than this.

So, what exactly are these guys thinking? Is it "leisure and entertainment" in leisure time? Still is......

"I suspect they have other purposes." Lin Chi said in a low voice, turned his head to look at Frankenstein, and asked, "Do you have a tracker or something?" ”

The equipment in Lin Chi's hand is useless now, but there must be a lot of strange things in Frankenstein, and in that game in Chaos City, the "optical stealth camouflage" used by this product left a deep impression on Lin Chi.

"Yes." Frankenstein nodded: "Do you want to track it." ”

"Well, don't get caught on camera." Lin Chi looked at the power armor: "At least don't let the other side see that you are installing a tracker." ”

"Okay." Frankenstein fumbled around his backpack and pulled out a grotesque-looking object that looked like chewed gum.

Under Lin Chi's gaze, Frankenstein jumped over with light steps, squatted down on the side of the power armor, as if he was about to bend down to dismantle the bomb, and then stretched out his right hand and glued the "chewing gum" in his hand to the leg of the power armor.

After installing the tracker, Frankenstein immediately retreated and returned to the position beside Lin Chi: "Okay. ”

"OK, is your 'invisibility cloak' still there? Lend me a favor. Lin Chi looked at the thin figure beside him: "I want to monitor here, or you can monitor it." ”

Hearing this, Frankenstein looked down at his backpack and said in a deep voice, "This is pointless, it's a waste of time." ”

"I think it makes a lot of sense, maybe I can find the boss, or solve a few players in advance or something." Lin Chi did not agree with the other party's point of view.

Regardless of whether the traps here were laid by the "scientists" or other players, Lin Chi felt the need to monitor. What's more, even if you go back to the cave of the Blood Eagle Clan now, there is nothing to do,

"I'm going back." Frankenstein said as he took out a set of dusty cloaks from his backpack and threw them to Lin Chi, then turned around and walked to the motorcycle parked on the sand: "Give me the key." ”

Lin Chi threw the key to the motorcycle to Frankenstein, watched the guy drive away, and then fixed his gaze on the light cloak in his hand, and the text of the equipment introduction was displayed in front of him:

"Blade Runner" optical camouflage cape.

Armor.

Item Class: Legendary.

Players wearing the Optical Camouflage Cloak will become invisible in the eyes of other players and NPCs, unable to be tracked by the Thermal Imaging System, and will gain 10 agility points.

"Welcome to the military optical camouflage stealth suit, please note that this equipment is only for combat use, and it is forbidden to be used for stalking, peeping, theft, skipping shifts, revenge on superiors, etc."

……

"Where did I get this good thing?" Lin Chi was slightly surprised.

Although he already knew about it, when he saw the attributes of this cloak, the blood flow rate of Lin Chi's virtual character was still much faster than usual.

Even he gets a little excited when he sees the new legendary gear in Paradise of War. After all, apart from a few pieces in his own hands, it seemed that it was the first time he had seen the legendary equipment in the hands of other players......

This set of optical camouflage cloaks that can make the user invisible is undoubtedly cheating-level equipment in PVP, and the reason for Frankenstein's winning streak must also have something to do with this cloak.

However, it is undoubtedly more troublesome to use optical camouflage in sand than in other terrain......

Looking back at the empty sandy land and the two rows of footprints left on the sand dunes, Lin Chi sighed helplessly, stepped on his footprints and walked back backwards, squatting on the ground and patiently covering the footprints left by the two with nearby sand grains.

Even if you wear optical camouflage, the footprints will still exist, and in order not to arouse suspicion, it is necessary to cover up the footprints they left just now.

It took Lin Chi a full twenty minutes to finally wipe out all the footprints of the two, squatting on the sand dunes a hundred meters away from the power armor, and putting on the optical camouflage cloak borrowed from Frankenstein.

And then - the self in his eyes disappeared.

Compared with the optical camouflage invisibility suit that is still being developed in the real world, the "stealth" in the game is more thorough. Lin Chi's feeling at this time was similar to the situation when he was drifting in the data channel, if he couldn't still feel his body, he might have thought that he had entered the perspective of God.

"When you go back, let's ask where you got this thing from......

Lin Chi, who was lying on the sand dune, completely blended into the sand below, staring intently at the orange sand dunes in front of him and the set of Marine Corps power armor standing a hundred meters away.

As a lazy guy in the real world, Lin Chi's patience is also surprisingly good. Realizing that no one would arrive here for a while, he continued to crawl in place, and the rest of his body was basically "dormant" except for his eyes still open.

The newly put on this protective suit, the oxygen supply system can last for seven hours, and Lin Chi is ready to wait for six hours. If no one came when the oxygen was about to run out, he would naturally choose to return to the Blood Eagle Tribal Station.

- Let's take a look......

The "countercurrent" crawling on the sand waited motionless for four hours, and finally a few vague figures appeared in the dust in the distance.

Three guys dressed in khaki hazmat suits with large pockets on their backs, who looked like scavengers, emerged from the dust.

Obviously, these scavengers were also attracted to the power armor in the desert, and the three of them quickly jumped near the power armor and vigilantly checked the movement nearby.

These murderers, who had been crawling on the surface of Mars for a long time, were certainly not brainless fools, and the three of them immediately noticed the filament under the power armor, and then stood in place and communicated for a while.

- Will they take the risk of defusing the bomb, or will they leave this hellish place and continue to pick up the junk elsewhere?

Lin Chi was still observing, and saw that the three of them had already made a choice, two of them were letting off wind nearby, and a scavenger squatted next to the power armor and began to try to defuse the bomb.

For these scavengers who pick up everything they can use, the attraction of a serviceable Marine Power Armor is like seeing a dozen peerless beauties lying in front of them undressed. The strength level of this thing, compared to the broken copper and iron they picked up every day, crushed an unknown number of grades.

Even though they knew it was dangerous, the scavengers chose to take the risk of defusing the bomb, hoping to bring this precious power armor back to their tribe's territory.

Lin Chi, who was "invisible" on the nearby sand dunes, watched the movements of the scavengers with wide eyes, from this distance, he couldn't see exactly what the scavengers who were defusing the bomb were doing, he could only see the other party's hands reaching into the sand, slowly taking out a grenade-like thing from it, and then throwing the thing aside.

Bang!

A ball of fire exploded from the nearby uninhabited sand dune, and the three scavengers crawled on the ground before the explosion, successfully defusing the bomb at the foot of the armor, and they checked next to the power armor, and after about five minutes, as if making sure there were no other traps, one of the scavengers finally tried to get into the power armor.

- If this is really a trap, the "mastermind" who is remotely controlling it is almost time to do it!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi stared intently at the scavengers, only to see that the person who had defused the bomb just now had already entered through the opening behind the power armor, and the other two scavengers were standing on both sides, nervously waiting for news from their companions.

After the man entered the power armor, the armor remained in place, and there was nothing out of the ordeal. The two scavengers next to him, bent over and ready to sprint, seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and one of them raised his hand to wipe his mask.

"You guys are too naïve...... Lin Chi said secretly in his heart.

Then, suddenly, what he had expected happened.

"Ahh

A shout sounded from a hundred meters away, and the power armor suddenly strode out, and the two scavengers on both sides hurriedly tried to catch up, but they were burned by the flames spewing from behind the armor, and they rolled around in the sand with fire all over their bodies, and two black smoke came out of their charred bodies.

Could it be that the power armor suddenly activated and captured the people inside?

Due to lurking a hundred meters away, Lin Chi couldn't confirm what was going on over there yet, but judging from what he saw just now, the situation was almost like this.

He stood up and quickly followed, his pace was much lighter than usual thanks to the 10-point agility bonus of the optical camouflage cloak, but he couldn't catch up with the power armor alone.

Seeing that the power armor was rapidly shrinking in his line of sight, Lin Chi turned on the communication device to contact Frankenstein, and made a straightforward request:

"Send me the tracker's signal."

"Got it."

Accompanied by Frankenstein's cold voice, a high-speed moving red dot appeared in Lin Chi's minimap. The power armor that had kidnapped the scavengers was rushing towards the southwest corner of the desert, bringing up dust all the way.

With the tracker's signal, Lin Chi's tracking operation was very smooth, jumping on one foot in the desert, following the power armor all the way.

Even the legendary "invisibility cloak" couldn't hide the footprints in the desert, and Lin Chi also noticed that he had left a string of footprints, but now he couldn't care about that much......

- Where is this thing going? Could it be that "scientists" need living people to do experiments?

Recalling the message sent to him by the "Scientist" when he first arrived at the Blood Eagle Tribal Station, Lin Chi always felt that the situation was wrong, and there seemed to be a subtle sense of disobedience in something.

Could the person who sent the message be the same person behind the kidnapping of the scavengers?

While thinking, his steps also took a fast step, and he continued to chase towards the location of the power armor.

At this time, the power armor had already thrown him off for almost a kilometer, and Lin Chi couldn't even see the exhaust gas, so he could only rely on the red dot on the tracker to continue to pursue the strange "kidnapper".

However, he wasn't the only one tracking the power armor......

Buzzing!

Hearing the sound of the engine behind him, Lin Chi decisively crawled to the ground, covering a footprint he had just left behind with his body.

An orange-red buggy similar to the color of the sand dunes sped past from a distance of fifty meters and chased in the direction where the power armor had disappeared.

Although the time was very short, when the car passed by, Lin Chi still noticed that there should be only one person in the car. And on the body of that car, there was no word "scientific investigation" from a scientist, but something like a coat of arms.

- Is it the car of the criminal clan?

Could it be that the tribe of the abducted scavenger sent a rescue team to arrive? However, with the skill level of the criminals, even if they realized that their companions had been kidnapped, they should not come so quickly.

If not criminals...... Could it be that some other players are also following?

Realizing that someone seemed to have gone with him, Lin Chi let out a low laugh and continued to track down the power armor.

He knew that no matter who was tracking the power armor, they would definitely end up "going the same way", and as long as they reached the location of the power armor, he and the mysterious tracker would meet sooner or later.

Once a battle breaks out, it will definitely be the one with the optical camouflage who has the absolute advantage, and if the tracker is a player, maybe he won't even see the figure, and he will be killed by himself!

While jumping forward, Lin Chi continued to observe the red dots on the map, only to see that the power armor stopped four kilometers away from him.

Looks like the kidnappers should have arrived at their destination......

Lin Chi accelerated his speed and chased after him, and the distance between him and the red dot finally began to shorten. But just as he climbed over a sand dune and was about to rush down, he saw that the off-road vehicle that had passed him earlier had stopped in the sand.

"What?" He whispered to himself.

- Is the other party aware of his presence?

Seeing that the car stopped, Lin Chi also stopped vigilantly in place, took out the assault rifle from his backpack and pressed it under him, ready to fight at any time.
