Chapter 809: The Group (12)
Il smiled faintly, put down the information in his hand, and turned to think about other things. Theodore fell silent after that, except for Stian to return to the front of the control room and begin to issue a series of orders in order not to miss this great opportunity.
Time passed quickly, and when Stian turned around to explain the situation, she found Il and Theodore already standing behind her.
"The team has been assembled, a total of thirty squads, and about one hundred and fifty people have all arrived together. Stian walked over to the console and pressed the button, and a dense red dot appeared on the black, white and gray map, forming an irregular circle, enclosing an area marked in red.
"The prey did not act immediately after escaping from the cave network, but stayed in this area, probably resting and recovering from the effects of side effects on itself. Sitian said, looking at Il and Theodore behind him, "The squads will be completely united in ten minutes or so, and the encounter with the prey is expected to be not long before that." β
"At this point, you can slow down and make some noise to let the prey know that it is surrounded, and it may be better to put a little pressure on him. During this time, the prey will not completely stop in place, knowing that we will rush over, and probably ready. β
"It's safest to move slowly, layer by layer. Theodore suggested, looking at the red dot on the magnetic plate that was gradually converging towards the center, and wondering what he was thinking. From his voice, it was obvious that his attention was not on it.
"Il, if you were to be placed in the current situation of your prey, what method would you choose to break through? Theodore was still a little uneasy about the sudden question.
"In this case, you and I will not end well if we are surrounded by Dafan. After all, the impact of the blue silver bullet cannot be ignored. I will probably use the scaling state to choose a weak point to break through extremely quickly after figuring out the distribution of firepower points in the encirclement, and then think about the rest of the encirclement by escaping at my own speed. But even if the breakthrough is successful, the number of enemies is not attenuated, and all that remains is the consumption of physical strength. No matter how much physical strength you have, it will only prolong your death. Individual strength has not been increased in stages, and in front of the group, it still does not occupy any advantage. β
"We still have airships, and in a war of attrition, we are not in the same category as our prey. Stien said, as if he had foreseen the end of his prey.
"It's hard to judge right now, Theodore and I are also inclined to your idea, but this mission is somewhat special, and we still keep the last one percent for the prey. That's why Theodore and I came here in person, to prevent that one percent from happening. Il's words seemed to be a rebuttal, "The information about the prey is incomplete so far, and the unknown can always give rise to many surprises.
"I was derelict in my duty. Stien remorseful.
"I can't blame you, if a person like the prey could easily collect most of the information, maybe there would not be the current situation. will die before they meet us. β
As we talked, a circle of red dots on the magnetic plate had reached the edge of the marked red zone, less than two minutes away from a complete convergence. Il-Jean asked Sitian to open the real-time communication of several of the stronger squads, and in the somewhat distorted sound of wind and rain and thunder, there was a brief exchange between the team members.
Checking the surroundings little by little, the speed of progress is slow, but the carpet search can completely prevent the prey from escaping from under their eyes. It is unclear whether the prey has developed a surgical program to control its own body temperature, and temperature sensing is very applicable in such a climate, but whenever they encounter something suspicious, they will make up for it with a dozen shots.
The intermittent sound of gunfire rang out around the encirclement, and it didn't go far before it was completely knocked to the ground by the gray rain curtain. The surrounding clouds were tumbling and climbing up the hillside with the force of the wind. The accumulated water vapor is not consumed much, and the torrential rain will continue for a long time before it stops.
It's close to the southern forests, and although neither is really a limit area, the climate is already a little indistinct.
The communication into the control room became more and more intermittent under the influence of the thunderstorm, and the personnel surrounding the group were as scattered as possible, and the clouds and rain affected their vision. In this environment, the ballistic line will be very obvious, and he does not want to give the enemy any chance to escape, and even the final struggle and counterattack must be killed by the concentrated bullets as much as possible.
"The encirclement team is about to converge, and the distance between them is about two hundred meters. "At this moment, there was a report that it was a team of white knights of the Templar.
"One hundred and eighty meters γγγγ one hundred and fifty metersγγγγ no prey has been found, and it is initially estimated that the prey may have the ability to control body temperature. β
"One Hundred and Twenty γγγγ"
"Extremely faint heat source detected!"
It was as if a tipping point had been reached, and in a matter of seconds, a dozen or so reports of the same kind had arrived at Il. The team members with the ability to sense temperature all discovered a faint heat source in the time that was not much different from before.
Dozens of pieces of information from different directions were sent to the control room, and Stian's intelligence officers immediately summarized the information and compared it on the map detected in advance.
"The same location is right, it's the prey. It should have relied on his own strong control to suppress his breathing and heartbeat, and then used the temperature of the rain to lower his body temperature to reach the current temperature. "It worked, but it didn't stop there." β
"Everyone should get closer and estimate the impact of wind direction and thunderstorms on the trajectory in advance. Please find your own cover. Sitian looked at the increasingly deformed encirclement, and when the intelligence agents were sure that everyone was ready, she looked at Il and Theodore.
"Ten seconds later, we attacked together. β
Time is stretched, the second hand on a mechanical watch passes one grid after another as if nothing happened, and the air becomes frozen and no longer has a bit of fluidity. The airship suddenly shook a few times at this moment, the control room was completely illuminated by the lightning white light, and a huge thunderbolt exploded not far from the mountain, the sound shattered the air in the entire space, and the thunder and lightning generated scattered among the clouds and mist with countless weak currents.
The radio signal was interfered with, and a red dot scattered throughout the mountain on the magnetic plate flashed several times before disappearing completely. After a few seconds, the red dots began to slowly return to their original shape. But the dense dot that represented the encirclement, as if it had been more severely affected, disappeared and did not reappear.
The three of them showed solemn expressions, and Sitian turned her head and shouted, "Restore communication immediately!"
Ten or so seconds passed, and the place where the three of them were staring was still black and white.
"Turn on the extreme communication mode, you don't need to think about the situation that the communicator will be damaged, contact them immediately!" The inexplicable emotion that rose in her heart made Sitian feel a little uneasy. After a "zizz" sound, in the eyes of the three people, the red dot finally reappeared on the map of the magnetic board, and the sound there also reached the control room.
There were no gunshots, no explosions, and it was absolutely quiet except for the howling of the wind and the torrential rain.
"Please report the current situationγγγ" Before Stian could speak, the sound of wind and rain was replaced by an electronic murmur. The extreme communication mode has damaged all the communication equipment there.
Silk, who was holding the microphone, froze in place, not knowing what to say for a moment. The speed at which the situation changed prevented her from changing her mood in time. She tried to think of other possibilities, but no matter how much she tried to find a reason, the only constant result in this situation was that the more than 150 people who had surrounded her all died in that short period of ten seconds.
"How could it beγγγ" Sitian muttered.
"Il, you stay here and command the rest. Theodore's words woke Stien, "Silk, you cooperate with Il. With that, Theodore had already taken off his shirt, revealing his body like a steel pour.
He opened the large box he was carrying, and inside was a special combat suit, steel-hulled bombs, flashbangs, and a custom-made firearm that looked much different from a firearm on top of the box, next to dozens of full magazines. The caliber of the pistol is also unusually large, and its power is comparable to that of a honeycomb revolver. At the bottom is a pneumatic longsword that is different from the imperial standard, with a pale gray color and a dull blade with a hint of uncommon burnt black.
"I'll go down and have a look, but in order to prevent the prey from escaping through the gap in the encirclement, I will send the airship down to guard the foot of the hill corresponding to the gap. Theodore walked to the back cabin. 2k reading web
