Chapter 601: Rescue
Lu Jie, as a veteran team commander with decades of command experience, has a good performance in command, and after putting the wind brothers back into the crisis signal on the periphery, he immediately organized all the mercenaries as quickly as possible, and then several thieves rushed in from the outside.
"Zhao Fei, what's going on outside?" Lu Jie couldn't wait to look at the panting thief and asked.
"Deputy Commander, there's trouble in the south!" The thief named Zhao Fei pursed his dry lips and said, "When I went to the south to patrol just now, I found that there seemed to be some faint sounds of fighting over there, so I followed the sound to the south, and when I walked out of the distance of less than two thousand meters, I found that a group of people were caught by mutant insects and mutant beasts. Let's prepare in advance, they should be rushing over in a short time! ”
"Someone went to provoke the swarm when it was still completely dark, I think they were stupid and hopeless." Lu Jie cursed, then frowned and asked, "Zhao Fei, do you see clearly who those people are?" ”
"That's not very clear." The thief shook his head and said, "There are too many mutant creatures over there, the scene is very messy, and there are many mutant creatures who are masters of anti-concealment, I didn't dare to get too close, but from a distance, those people's abilities are quite good, and the cooperation should not be much worse than our team, I estimate that nine times out of ten they are also mercenaries like us!" ”
"Well, that's a big possibility." Lu Jie thought for a while and nodded, "It's not just us who received the task to go to Machuan City to rescue this time, since we can think of going this way, it's not surprising that other people also think of this, what you meet should be one of the teams that went to Machuan City to support like us, but I don't know which one it is, but these guys' heads are really not turning, since they can think of walking from here to avoid mutant insects, don't you know how to wait when you go out, it's good now, let them toss, Our plans have all been disrupted! ”
As soon as Lu Jie's words fell, an extremely tall soldier on the side asked, "Captain, since you know that you are an accomplice, shall we save it or not?" ”
Lu Jie didn't immediately reply to the warrior's question, but pondered for a moment before looking at the thief and asking, "Zhao Fei, what do you think of the number of mutated creatures over there?" ”
"That's a lot." Zhao Fei thought for a while and said, "But the level of those mutant creatures doesn't seem to be very high, I think most of the insects are seventeen or eighteen-level yellow horned insects, and the mutant beasts are dominated by Qingfeng wolves, and the battle between the insects and the mutant beasts is still going on, it seems that they are still fighting fiercely, otherwise they will not have a chance to break through." ”
"Then save it." Lu Jie pondered carefully and said, "This time, the situation in Machuan City is not optimistic, one more ally means more strength, since the level of insects over there is not very high, let's go and take a look." Alright, let's hurry up and pack up the camp, and we'll be off in two minutes! ”
Lu Jie gave the order to rescue, Qiao Shan immediately ran back to the tent, she saw that Wu Song in the tent had stood up at this time, so she asked eagerly, "Wu Song, now there is a human team in front of us surrounded by mutant creatures, we need to go to the rescue, the situation is not optimistic, maybe there will be big trouble, you choose, do you leave or follow us?" ”
"Of course I'm following you." Wu Song smiled and said, "Actually, I'm also a spirit master, so I should be able to help more or less if I go, and I'm a thief, I think even if I can't help much, at least there should be no problem with self-preservation." ”
If this is changed to normal times, when he learns that someone is surrounded by mutant insects, Wu Song will most likely choose to bypass and find less trouble, not that he lacks sympathy, but that there are too many things in the wilderness where people kill insects and eat people, almost every time he walks around in the wilderness, he will encounter similar things, Wu Song feels that if he takes care of everything, then he basically doesn't have to do anything else, not to mention that Comrade Wu is not a person who is good at helping others at all, but this time, Wu Song is determined to take care of this matter.
Comrade Xiao Wu is a person who loves and hates clearly, Qiao Shan, a kind little priest, just saved his life, he couldn't watch Qiao Shan jump into the fire pit and ignore it, and he couldn't change this kind little pastor's determination to save people, so he could only choose to learn Lei Feng with the little pastor.
All the mercenaries packed up and assembled in the shortest possible time, and then under the leadership of Zhao Fei, everyone rushed all the way to the south, and after walking a short distance, they found the team surrounded by mutant creatures.
It was a team of about 100 people, just like Zhao Fei said, the cooperation of this team was really good, although there were many mutant creatures besieging around, but they were able to flexibly use the surrounding rocks and trees as cover to deal with the mutated creatures, although there was no sign of being able to break out of the encirclement for the time being, but it was not easy for the mutant creatures to clean them up in a short period of time.
Lu Jie took a brief look at the surrounding situation, and then led his mercenaries to climb a 100-meter-high hill not far from the trapped people.
The flares drew three dazzling light marks in the night sky and then disappeared without a trace, which is a very common rescue code in the wilderness, representing that the other party tried to attack this way, and the group of people who were surrounded obviously understood the meaning, and after the flares sent out by Lu Jie dimmed, the other side immediately responded with three flares. When Lu Jie received the signal, he immediately asked his men to start setting traps around him.
In the wilderness, this kind of cooperation between medium-sized teams is not uncommon, Lu Jie has not done this kind of rescue once or twice, and has received a clear reply from the other party, on the one hand, Lu Jie has let his subordinates set up a lot of traps on the high ground of the mountain, these traps are manually activated traps, as long as the other party can be welcomed to the mountain, the trap can cause great damage to the mutant creatures behind the besieged people, which is of great benefit to everyone to get rid of the siege of mutant creatures, and on the other hand, Lu Jie led a large group of men and horses to kill directly down the hillside.
