Chapter 1410: Drives, Safe Areas, and Memories (Part I)
"They should have been evacuated together. There was a voice echoing inside, and it became even stronger when Isha saw the harmless face of Kasia in the crowd. Originally, I wanted to use this mission to train the newly transferred lieutenant and let him have the ability to be used by the lieutenant as soon as possible, but starting from the current situation, the unknown things that happened in the border forest would be very dangerous for the team and himself.
Although the situation is completely unclear, through the information given by the other team, Isha also guessed something about what will happen in the future. All speculation was not accompanied by good news, except for the safe zone, which was the only unknown variable in Isa's thinking at the moment.
Without wasting any more time, Isha called Toynby and Muriel and went a few dozen meters away with the captain of the other team for a simple exchange of information. When they returned, their faces remained normal, but they could feel something change in their bodies.
Something about a deal, or maybe Isha and the other team understand that the number of people in the team is going to help. The two teams were separated by less than a few dozen meters and rushed towards the nearest safe area.
The team also changed at Isha's order, dividing itself into five squares as a whole, maintaining the formation of a five-pointed star. Toynbee and the three captains all left the team and went to Isha's side, guarding the back of the team while discussing important matters. Cassia was in the corner of the five-pointed star, and while looking at the members around him, he also observed the team that was traveling with him.
It is very important for Kasia to have more detailed information about the strength of the team, and when to be the team's last line of defense in case of danger.
At half past five in the afternoon, the light in the forest began to fade, and the darkness around them eroded everyone with their breathing. Something was wrong with the atmosphere, and some people began to worry, and from time to time the sound of small conversations spread out in the team. All that everyone was hoping for at the moment was that evening would come later, at least until they reached safety.
But in just ten minutes, several high-pitched birdsong sounds came from a distance, with full intimidation, as if announcing the scope of their territory to all the creatures around them. Birdsong rang out one after another, getting louder and louder. At this time, Isha had to order the team to stop, and half a minute later, all the members went to the ancient tree, leaning against the trunk of the tree, and at the same time, they also grabbed a few handfuls of dead leaves to cover their bodies.
The foliage obscured the view from the sky looking down, but Isha knew that the source of the sound was an adult game bird, and to a certain extent, the game bird had the sound wave localization ability of bats. Staying still near the trunk of a tree has a chance to avoid detection by the birds. Half a minute later, the hunting birds flew through the sky above the group with a faint sound of wind, leaving behind several shrill cries that trembled their eardrums before quickly disappearing into the distance.
"The inspectors, four of them, seem to be looking for something. After the team moved on, Isha went with Toynbee, Muriel and the others, "There is something going on along the border that we don't know yet, and there must be more than just this team, there are many more in other places." This time, perhaps only the protection brought by the safe zone can be pinned on. ”
"Adjutant, there is one thing that you may need to think about in advance. Toynbee's tone was very heavy, these words were decided after thinking for a long time, "Assuming that in the future, in special circumstances, safe areas and paying high fees will not guarantee our safety, then 、、、 know that even if the patrol team takes the money, if the number of opponents is enough to match a team, I don't think the final result will be good." There is this conjecture because of us, and there is another team that has encountered corpses on the route. As the other teams said, both the number and the processing time are not normal. ”
There were a few words that didn't come out of the way, but Isha and Muriel knew what Toynbee was trying to say.
The sound of regular breathing occupied a few people for a short time, and after a while, Isha breathed softly, "Once you reach the safe zone, notify all members that they are allowed to attack the patrol personnel in some cases." ”
Not knowing what Isha was talking to, Kasia had been thinking about what she had seen in the sonic pulses since the birds had passed by. The four birds were much larger than those seen in Larsa, but the focus was on what the birds carried. There were three of them in each gamebird, which were similar to the bombs, but they were much larger, and one weighed more than half a ton. Since there was no propulsion device, Kasia judged that it should have been a weapon for direct throwing, which was detonated by a tactile switch in front of the warhead, or perhaps by a time switch. A very dangerous bombing bomb that fell in the middle of the crowd and caused absolutely deadly damage.
Kasia believed that the people on the bird hunt just now did not notice the team below, and from the point of view, the four of them looked relaxed, not at all like they were looking for something, and at the same time, they would not be chasing the target, or supporting them.
It was as if it was spreading out in her own territory, making noises for some reason, but Kasia felt like she was being driven away. From the thirty or so roars that formed the encirclement, to the chirping of the game birds at this moment, to the description of the patrolmen by the United Toynbi, and the response of most of the smuggling teams, Kasia had a certain conjecture.
These sounds seem to be deliberate, and in the forest, when vision is restricted, sounds should be the means by which all teams can obtain first-hand information. The other party obviously knows this, so they take advantage of it. One of the most important factors is that the smuggling teams in the forest are all independents, they are all in the unknown darkness, and they do not know how many other forces are around them. Unless they are very close, in this huge forest, the base of fifty people is really small, and it is difficult to meet other teams.
Kasia was roughly certain that the other party might have taken advantage of this factor, using sound as a medium of information, similar to a hound driving a flock of sheep, gradually driving the scattered team in the forest to a specific area.
When choosing these areas, being a safe area that everyone knows is the first choice.
And Kasia also thinks that this will be a very dangerous idea - assuming that this is a planned operation, choosing a safe area that can provide security protection for smugglers as his own goal only shows that the other party is stronger than the owner of the safe area in terms of strength, status, and power behind it.
"What is the best thing to do in this situation?" thought Kasia, who must have chosen to turn around and leave the trap created by the enemy. But this choice will definitely result in the death of most of the members, and Isha will certainly not give up on these people. For now, it seems that the only option is to have a safe area, even if it is a trap, but when the trap is not large enough to hold all the prey, it will be a different situation.
Evening began to fall, and the field of view, which was not wide enough, narrowed again. And at this time, a third team appeared on the side. After a brief conversation, the team of about forty people became companions. It's not something to be happy about, everyone's face is full of seriousness.
Soon after, less than ten minutes away from the safe area, the group of peers increased again. It wasn't until finally we went to the approximate location of the safe area for a brief rest, and the number of teams went to thirteen that everyone felt was wrong. This is only a number of converging in the general direction, and the number in other directions may be small, but it still adds up to a number that is not very pleasant.
At this time, the evening completely descended, and nearly 100 bright flashlights lit up everywhere. The nearly 700 people around them were silent, each slowly moving forward with their respective teams.
Soon, there was a fire in front of him, it was a large ball of grease burning flames, and even a little fragrance could be smelled around.
"Hello Larsa friends, and welcome to Safe Zone Five. It will provide you with a place to rest, hot food, and more importantly, it will provide you with the necessary safety!" At this time, a loud voice sounded around the firelight, and a fat figure was only left with a thin black shadow in the reflection of the firelight, "Please line up in a line, don't be crowded, don't panic, there are many, many empty seats." Here's a reminder that according to the current situation in the border forest, the charging standard is 1.5 million Flame Alliance currency per person! Thank you in advance for taking care of you today!"
She had known that this would be the case, but the crowd of Cassia had always had an inexpressible sense of familiarity in her ears when she heard these words in the tone of a commodity.
"I don't know if it's a good or bad memory. Cassia, who was exhaling, said, and the look in her eyes as she looked at the man changed for a few moments, because she remembered a lot of bad things.
