Chapter 32: Lights
The hunting party was in a good mood today, and when they went out early in the morning, they happened to encounter a small wave of sand wolves. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info may be because it is almost the night of the full moon, and the traces of sand wolves coming out these days have obviously become more active, and their hunting is relatively simpler.
The main reason, of course, is that the large supply station has almost no use of weapons and ammunition, which is their backing. A few years ago, their hunting party came here by chance, and stumbled upon this station in the depths of the desert that was still in operation, and there were actually two or three elderly managers living here.
At first, they lived here honestly according to the rules, and during the day, when the sun was too strong, they would hide in the basement house and sleep, and at night when the wind was a little less, they would drive the car and go out hunting. That's what they're here for.
But one day, a huge dark shadow suddenly appeared in the open space in front of the supply station, and it was an airship carrying goods passing by.
Then several parachutes dyed in striking colors slowly floated down from the sky. That's the airship drops all kinds of daily necessities on time every few years.
The three old men at the supply station were no longer able to carry the supplies back, and the task was naturally entrusted to the hunting team that had lived here for some time. And so the first crack between the two was created here.
Because the weapons in the tin box were accidentally discovered. The hunting team is very poor, otherwise they would not want to go to such a desert to hunt. So of course they want to have these weapons unconditionally, even if it's a part of it. But the three old men were not very good-tempered and did not agree.
Then it was winter again, and a few days after the items were moved back to the storeroom, the first people to travel came. Six men and five women, the men are all strong, the women are all dazzling, and they are all rich people, and they don't blink their eyes when they buy things at the supply station.
They come here for tourism, and of course they want to come and hunt animals like sand wolves. The experience of the hunting team was there, and it was only natural that it became their best guide.
The two got along well the other day and there was no friction between them. You can not only go out to hunt, but also earn extra money, and the people in the hunting team are of course happy to do this. It was the fourth day of the accident, and they had not returned for a few days, and they had spent the day in tents in the sand. The leader of the hunting party was so bad that he drank some wine, and he was not too brave to fight the sand wolf with a knife when he usually dared to fight with the sand wolf. As soon as the effect of alcohol stimulated, blood rushed to the head.
So when they returned early in the morning of the fifth day, all the tourists had been buried in the yellow sand in the middle of nowhere. Taking advantage of the aftermath of this incident, the hunting party of course wanted absolute ownership of the supply station, and among the three old men, except for Dorne, who survived in the end, the bodies of the other two were buried in the desert the next day. The Huntsman keeps Dorn in the guise that it's still operating, attracting visitors from the desert and defrauding the military of supplies every few years.
The matter got bigger and bigger, and the station later became a demon that didn't spit out bones, and almost all the people who came to visit here were secretly dealt with by them. It was also at that time that the matter of freezing and preserving female bodies for later "use" began.
Halfway through, some people with some conscience knew that this thing could not be stopped, so they wanted to leave quietly in their free time. But the leaders of several hunting teams had already noticed it, and they had been waiting to find out these people. In the end, the number of the hunting party was reduced by half, and the rest were all people who were at ease with the depraved life in this desert.
At this moment, the sky turned lake blue, but the sun in the desert had not yet come out. The hunting party carefully drove down the slope of the sand dunes in a steam buggy.
The station was still lit only in the middle room, and they parked a dozen off-road vehicles, and the vibration of the steam turbines was transmitted to the ground through the desert's characteristic wide wheels. Behind several cars were randomly stacked the day's battle items, the corpses of sand wolves and lizards that still had their body temperatures.
When the 30-odd people got out of the car, the first thing they did was to take off their stuffy masks to protect them from wind and sand, and their faces were all red. Feeling the cool, slightly moisturey air of the early morning is the most comfortable moment for them. Half of them began to unload the weapons and equipment that were placed in the back of the car, and half were carrying the carcasses of the animals.
The sun hasn't come out yet, and it may take a few more minutes. The hunting team is full of veterans, who know the desert well and time is very accurate.
"It seems that there is no way. Kara looked away from the optical glasses of her sniper rifle and glanced at the pale blue sky, without a trace of white clouds, all of which were a shocking blue, as if to swallow the assimilated blue. It is already impossible to wait for the first birth of the sun.
She was half-crouched on the roofs of five rooms, covered in the same grey fabric as the building material, and in front of her was a knee-high protective wall of makeshift steel plates. It's definitely not a good camouflage, and if you look closely, you can immediately see the extra stuff in the room, and even the pitch-black barrel sticking out. But everyone is now in a state of blindness, and the vigilance and nervousness of the early morning hunt have all been relaxed at this moment, and whoever comes home will go to observe the roof of their house carefully, and all they want now is to hurry back to the house and have a few glasses of wine, and then they will sleep happily. None of the slightest changes in the surroundings were noticeable to them.
Immediately, the head of the person suspected to be one of the leaders with a short-barreled shotgun in his hand suddenly exploded at this time, and his body was still standing there stiff because of the sudden attack, the blood was like a spring gushing out of the ground, and the sound of a huge deliberate sniper rifle exploded at this moment, like a wave on a calm lake that instantly spread into the distance.
Then, there was another sound of bullets exploding, and even the sniper rifle bullets could be heard in the air at high speed, vibrating through the air with a clear trill.
The second man's body was bleeding and he stood stiff for a few seconds, until a few seconds after the first body fell, and then fell to the rhythm.
When everyone woke up, it was already after the sixth gunshot, and the blood in their bodies began to flow at a high speed, and the adrenaline secretion was getting more and more. They knew they had been attacked, and while they were scrambling to find cover and judge the ballistic provenance of the bullets, four more fell, all with their heads blown open.
"On the roof, on the roof, get behind the car!"
"It's a sniper rifle, don't show your head!"
"Load the gun quickly, use the burst fire system and the pistol, the shotgun can't reach the roof!"
Someone began to shout, and it was full of fear and trembling. The rest finally realized this, and they looked at their comrades in front of them or at their side, blood as if it were watering the thirsty land.
At this time, the dazzling lights suddenly lit up on the five houses, and they realized that they were high-pressure mercury lamps that had been hung indiscriminately on the walls and roofs, although they were energized in advance, but it would take a little time until all the mercury inside vaporized and glowed.
At this time, they were all lit up, and the incandescent light was definitely not comparable to the sun, but against the backdrop of the sand dunes behind them, it was possible to disturb the enemy's line of sight.
"Wear a mask! Wear a mask!"
"Hurry up and give me those bulbs and suppress that sniper with fire. ”
There was a hot atmosphere behind the dozens of off-road vehicles here, and they shrank their heads and began to shoot indiscriminately with fire, and a series of flames and gunsmoke erupted from the muzzles of their guns. There was the crisp sound of glass shattering, the "snort" of bullets hitting the concrete walls, the sturdy building materials on them also bloomed under the tremendous impact of the bullets, and the ethereal sound of high-pressure mercury lamps exploding was like the sound of fireworks bursting in the air during a holiday celebration.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the lights in Kara's room, but they didn't notice anything bulging in the cracks in the concrete floor behind them, which had been filled with yellow sand.
It was a mask like a black crow's pointed beak.
