Bucton Lin returned to Professor Li Sanming's side and said with a forced smile: "Professor Li Sanming, after our discussion, I think your proposal is very good, and we plan to follow your advice and protect the retreat of the scientific expedition team." ”

"That's right," Professor Li Sanming gave Buctonlin a thumbs up, "Captain Buctonlin, your decision is wise, then without further ado, let's retreat early, otherwise we will have to spend the night here, I don't know what kind of danger we will face." ”

"Wait a minute, Professor Li Sanming," Buchton Lin said, looking at the people resting on the grass, "I still need to talk to Mr. Bridgemorgan. ”

"What is there to discuss, he is just the patron of our expedition team, and the actions of the expedition team should be decided by me. "Professor Li Sanming has gradually lost patience with the Black Mamba Guardian and Bridgemorgan who have been challenging his authority.

"Although you are indeed the head of the scientific expedition team," Buchton Lin said, "Professor Li Sanming, please understand me, we are employed by Mr. Bridgemorgan, to put it bluntly, he is our boss, so I must discuss it with him." ”

"You pedantic guys!" Professor Li Sanming knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he had to follow Buchton Lin towards Bridgemorgan.

Pedantry is usually used to describe intellectuals, but this time, Professor Li Sanming, an intellectual, used him to describe the Black Mamba Guard. In the eyes of the captain of the Black Mamba Guard, this is not pedantic, but out of the professional ethics of a soldier.

BridgeMorgan was wiping down his armor, having just fought with the rabbit army, and although he was not injured, his armor was still stained with a lot of rabbit blood.

"Mr. Bridgemorgan, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. Professor Brickton Lin and Professor Li Sanming stood on either side of Bridgemorgan, and Buckton Lin spoke first.

"What's the matter?" Bridgemorgan didn't lift his head, and continued to wipe his armor, using the grass on the ground, and he made a ball of grass out of a pile of grass, like a cleaning ball.

"That's right, for safety reasons, Professor Li Sanming thinks that we should retreat in time and not continue to go forward, so ......" Buchton Lin didn't finish his words, and kept staring at Bridgemorgan's reaction.

Surprisingly, Bridgemorgan didn't show any excitement, but just stopped what he was doing, looked up at Buctonlin, then put his armor aside and stood up.

BridgeMorgan moved his neck, raised his head to look into the distance, and said faintly: "At this time, you are still thinking about retreating, I really misunderstood you." ”

Professor Li Sanming sneered and said: "Mr. Bridgemorgan, I thank you for sponsoring this operation of our scientific expedition team, but as the captain of the scientific expedition team, I must be responsible for our team members, this time I was attacked by rabbits, I lost another scientist, and I lost another teammate, I can't afford this loss, I must lead the scientific expedition team out of here." ”

Bridgemorgan turned to Professor Li Sanming and said mockingly: "Professor Li Sanming, you are the captain of the scientific expedition team, then let me ask you, what is the mission of a scientist? Is it to pursue the truth at all costs, even if it is life? Do you remember, your predecessors, in order to spread the truth, in order to tell everyone that Hallelujah is not the center of the universe, is regarded as a cult leader, was burned to death on the cross by the church, and is not willing to change his beliefs in order to survive, this is the real scientist, what about you?"

The more Bridgemorgan spoke, the more excited he became, he pointed to the other members of the scientific expedition team scattered on the grass, and said: "You ask them, who among them has ever thought of retreating, even if they have experienced so many dangers, even if there are teammates dying by their side, they have never had the idea of retreating, only you, have been thinking about saving your life, this is not the spirit that a scientist should have, a scientist should move forward, desperate for the truth!"

"You!" Professor Li Sanming thought that his level of reasoning was not inferior to that of any person, but Bridgemorgan's lesson was quite shocking, and even Bucton Lin was stunned by his righteous words.

Professor Li Sanming calmed down and said without emotion: "Mr. Bridgemorgan, I won't argue with you, the main body of this operation is the scientific expedition team, and I asked for a retreat on behalf of the scientific expedition team, and Captain Bucton Lin also agreed, so whether you agree or not, we have to go back now anyway." ”

"Oh, is it?" Bridgemorgan looked at Buckton Lin coldly, "Major Buckton Lin, did you really decide to protect the expedition team from retreating?"

"This," Buctonlin hesitated a little, it was obvious that Bridgemorgan had no intention of retreating, "I think we should focus on the overall situation, and not hide it from the two of us, our Black Mamba Escort is running out of ammunition, and I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the next wave of attacks." ”

Buchton Lin looked at Bridgemorgan earnestly, hoping for his understanding.

"There's not enough ammunition, throw away the guns and move on," Bridgemorgan didn't think at all, "Isn't the spirit of your Black Mamba to go forward?"

"But Mr. Bridgemorgan," Bucton Lin was not afraid to speak softly at this time, "you have also seen that the beasts of New Bloss are so huge and numerous that we Black Mambas will not be able to resist it for long with our bare hands alone, so for the sake of safety, I think it is a good countermeasure to retreat." ”

"So that's the spirit of your Black Mamba, if you can't win, run away," BridgeMorgan looked at Bucton Lin with disdain, "Then I really misjudged you." ”

"It's not called running, it's a strategic retreat. Bucton Lin became serious, no matter what his decision was, but the spirit of the Black Mamba could not be slandered.

"I don't care what you do," Bridgemorgan sat down again, wiping his armor, "I'll move on, and, Captain Bucton Lyn, I remind you that I only paid a deposit for your labor, and if I can't go back, don't even think of taking the balance of your payment." ”

"It's too much of a deception!" Professor Li Sanming was most unaccustomed to the appearance of rich people playing scoundrels, he turned to Buktonlin, "Major Buktonlin, how much money does he send you, I'll give you!"

"You give?" Bridgemorgan laughed, "Professor Li Sanming, don't get yourself wrong, you're just a scientist, no matter how rich you are, can you compare with our consortium? ”

Originally, he guessed that Bridgemorgan was also a life-sparing person, the heir of a consortium, why would he think so much, he must take risks at the cost of his life, and live well to enjoy it. The idea of a rich man is really confusing.

At this time, Pang Xiaonan came over, Professor Li Sanming and Bridgemorgan quarreled loudly, Pang Xiaonan guessed that they were arguing about retreat, so he came over to see the excitement.

Sure enough, as he expected, he got closer, he already understood the reason, it was still the same, Professor Li Sanming was going to withdraw, Bridgemorgan was going to move on, and Bucton Lin was caught in the middle and was not good at life.

Pang Xiaonan saw that the contradiction was becoming more and more intense, so he jumped between several people, smiled and said peacefully: "I have a suggestion, you might as well listen to it, you may all be happy." ”

"What advice?" Buchton Lin seemed to see a savior, if Professor Li Sanming and Bridgemorgan continued to quarrel like this, he, the captain of the Black Mamba Guard, would really be at a loss.

"Look, everyone," Pang Xiaonan waved his hand and framed the scattered scientific expedition members and rabbit corpses all over the ground, "The current situation is that the scientific expedition team has experienced another danger, and our Black Mamba Escort is running out of bullets, so to speak, if there is a large-scale enemy to attack next time, we will definitely not be able to protect everyone, so it is better to ...... like this."

"How is it?" Professor Li Sanming listened to Pang Xiaonan's meaning, and there seemed to be an element of retreat in it.

"My idea is this, we act in batches. Pang Xiaonan made a constructive suggestion.

"Acting in batches?" Bucton Lin somewhat understood what Pang Xiaonan meant, "Do you mean that part of the retreat and part of the people advance?"

"Eh, you can do this way," Pang Xiaonan clapped his hands and agreed with Buctonlin, "But my batch action is that some people are on standby, and some people continue to move forward." ”

"Why do you want to stay put?" Professor Li Sanming didn't know what to do, wouldn't it be better to retreat?

"Professor Li Sanming," Pang Xiaonan pointed to the jungle in the distance, "If we retreat, the danger on the road when we come may have to go through it again, without the assistance of some people, we may not be able to pass, there is a lot of strength in numbers." In addition, if some people move forward and find that the road ahead is better, they can also come back and notify the people who are on standby, so that unnecessary losses can be reduced. ”

"But if we stay put, what will we do if those rabbits come to attack us again?" Professor Li Sanming was still apprehensive about the strength of the rabbit army.

"Are you afraid of rabbits, aren't you afraid of giant spiders, prehistoric pythons, and arrow frogs?" Pang Xiaonan said in one breath all kinds of strangely shaped beasts encountered on the road, they were more terrifying than rabbits.

Professor Li Sanming choked and couldn't speak, it was indeed like Pang Xiaonan said, no matter how fierce the rabbit was, it seemed to be more cute than those things.

"And who's going to move on, and who's going to stand by?" Bucton Lin was concerned about the deployment of the team.

Pang Xiaonan looked at Bucton Lin with a smile and didn't answer for a long time.

Bucton Lin finally realized that he was asking a bit redundant, and then Bridgemorgan stood up and spoke, saying, "Do you need to ask, those who are willing to move forward, and those who are not willing to go are on standby." ”

"Eh, Mr. Bridgemorgan is right," Pang Xiaonan's left fist hit the palm of his right hand, making a crisp sound, "Those who are willing to go, those who are not willing to leave, stay, however, our Black Mamba Escort will make necessary adjustments to ensure that the advancing troops and the troops on standby are as safe as possible." ”

Pang Xiaonan added: "In fact, the person who continues to move forward is equivalent to a reconnaissance company, to explore the road ahead, and then come back to report to the large army, and finally arrive at the destination together, or make strategic adjustments." ”

"Okay, Pang Xiaonan," Buktonlin punched Pang Xiaonan on the shoulder, "You know the routine, it seems that you have a lot of military knowledge." ”

"Where, where, learn from the captain. Pang Xiaonan smiled modestly and looked at Professor Li Sanming again.

"Professor, what do you think of my proposal?"

"No problem, I think so. "Although Professor Li Sanming did not achieve the goal of retreating, it was already a great success to be able to stand by in place.

Pang Xiaonan turned to BridgeMorgan again and said, "Mr. BridgeMorgan, what do you think?"

"I'm fine, I'm going to move on anyway. BridgeMorgan thought that he was not convinced by Professor Li Sanming anyway, and that it was better to separate from each other.

"Very well, then let's go to the detachment next. Pang Xiaonan smiled and pulled Buktonlin to the crowd, "Captain, it's time for you to preside over the overall situation." ”

Nandegrad was busy giving everyone medicine, when Bucton Lin began to speak: "Everyone, we have just made a decision, Professor Li Sanming, Mr. Bridgemorgan and I, according to the specific situation at the moment, think that we should divide into two teams here. ”

Everyone was attracted to Bucton Lin's words, and even Nandegrad's hand movement stopped.

"That's right, most of our teammates are injured, and if we continue to move forward, there will be a lot of inconvenience, so I decided to leave some people on standby, and some people continue to go to explore, or to reconnoitre, if there is no danger ahead, then the part that continues to move back and join up with the people who are on standby, and continue to move forward. ”

Bucton Lin spoke in circles on the spot, making sure his voice reached everyone's ears.

"Then who will move on and who will stay?" Rita asked in a voice of inquiry.

"Those who are willing to move forward continue to move forward, and those who are not willing to move forward will stay!" Bucton Lin replied loudly to Rita Rima.

At this time, Pang Xiaonan added loudly: "The final list is decided by our Black Mamba Escort Team." ”

"Why do you decide?" Rita doesn't like others to decide her own fate.

"Professor Rita Rita, our decision is to ensure everyone's safety," Pang Xiaonan looked at Oda Rima with a smile, "For example, if you are seriously injured, but you still insist on moving forward, then this is irresponsible for your own life, and it is also irresponsible for your teammates, because your teammates may have to share a lot of energy to take care of you, understand?"

There is no trivial matter in front of life, Pang Xiaonan's explanation is convincing, and Oda Rima no longer speaks.

"Okay, then, I'll get to know each of you first. Bucton Lin glanced majestically for a week, "Raise your hand if you want to move on!"

Rita Rita, Bridgemorgan, Professor Cowhide Klaas, Wu Yongqiang, Buenoski, and Lewis raised their hands, and Bucton Lin said to Wu Yongqiang: "Our Black Mamba Escort will not participate in the raising of hands, and we will make arrangements later." ”

So Wu Yongqiang, Buenoski, and Lewis put their hands down, and Bucton Lin asked again, "Is anyone still willing to move on?"

Professor Cow Piklaas glared at his assistant Yang Dating and said, "Why don't you raise your hand?"

Yang Dating raised his hand with a bitter face, he just fought with a rabbit, although he strangled a rabbit, but he had an incomparable fear of the small animals of New Bloss, these cute little animals turned around, and they became bloodthirsty demons, which was too terrifying.

"Okay, there are four of them, Professor Rita Rima, Mr. Bridgemorgan, Professor Cow Peel Krass, and Professor Yang Dating," Bucton Lin stepped aside, "Next, all the members of our Black Mamba Escort will gather, and we will discuss the grouping." ”

All the members of the Black Mamba Guard immediately got up and moved closer to Buctonlin's side.

"Captain, I don't think it's appropriate for Professor Cowhide to move on. Pang Xiaonan was the first to give his opinion.

"Why?" Bucton Lin felt that the matter of democratic voting should still try to satisfy everyone's wishes.

"To put it bluntly, our team is going to find danger, Professor Cowhide Klaas is unarmed, he doesn't know martial arts, and he can't use weapons, if he is there, it will be a drag. Pang Xiaonan's analysis is at a glance, for him, it is best to move forward alone without scruples, the more people he has, the greater the pressure he has to share.

"What Pang Xiaonan said makes sense, Professor Kwryklaas is old, not to mention resisting the attack, even the speed of action will slow everyone down. Wu Zhen also agreed with Pang Xiaonan's opinion.

"You mean to say that the fewer troops advancing this time, the better. Bucton Lynn understood what it meant.

"That's right, I was going to go on my own. Pang Xiaonan said what he really thought.

"Then you're saying that everyone else is a burden to you?" Bucton Lin squinted at Pang Xiaonan, as if he was a little unhappy.

"That's not what I mean, I want to cross New Bloos as fast as possible, and then be confident enough to lead the team through this unknown territory. Pang Xiaonan really feels that the current speed is too slow, and if he can predict the danger ahead in advance, the efficiency will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

"Haha, I'm joking with you, it's true that it's much more convenient for you to be alone," Bucton Lin patted Pang Xiaonan on the shoulder, "But there's no way, we have stubborn scientists in our team, and there are high-flying capitalists, we can't do whatever we want, you just work hard, take a few people on the road." ”

"Captain, I'll go too. Lewis raised his hand, he liked to fight alongside Pang Xiaonan.

"No, Lewis, you stay and protect the expedition. Pang Xiaonan vetoed Lewis.

"Why, since you can go, I can go too. Lewis remains determined to keep going.

"Do you think, if we both go, and the people who stay where we are going will be attacked again, and our bullets are out again, who can deal with those rabbits with their bare hands?" Pang Xiaonan was very thoughtful, he and Lewis had to stay one and make complete preparations.

"That's right, Lewis, you stay. Bucton Lin spoke, in the current Black Mamba Guard, only Pang Xiaonan and Lewis's martial arts can say that they can fight with those monsters with their bare hands, if they all leave, the people left behind will be in danger.

Lewis no longer insisted, and as a member of the Black Mamba Guard, he really has to focus on the big picture.

"Shall I go?" Buenolski also demanded, "I can identify the direction and make sure that the advancing team does not get lost here." ”

Buenovski's ability to identify bearings is indeed a magic weapon to keep the team from going astray, and he has always acted as a compass.

"No, you're injured, it's better to stay where you are. Pang Xiaonan rejected Buenoski's proposal.

"And what if you get lost?" said Buctonlin, expressing his concern.

"Don't worry, Captain, I can see the way. Pang Xiaonan patted his chest with confidence, "You forget, I can be a radar on the ship, and naturally I can also be a compass." ”

As soon as Pang Xiaonan's spiritual sense is turned on, he can automatically identify the direction, which is much more convenient than Buenovski's method of relying on a watch and celestial bodies to identify the direction, but the spiritual sense cannot be turned on at any time, which is more physically demanding.

"What about me?" Wu Yongqiang also recommended himself, "I should still have some use as a sniper, captain, I applied to fight." ”

"If there is a battle, you will be sure that there is a battle ahead. Bucton Lin glanced at Wu Yongqiang, thinking that you kid really can't speak, and he said that there was a battle ahead before he set off.

"I think you can. Pang Xiaonan gave a positive answer, "Your skills are good, and with the long-range attack advantage of the sniper rifle, you can participate in the advancing team." ”

"Okay, Brother Nan!" Wu Yongqiang was elated, his strength was finally recognized.

"What about me? I think I should go. "Nandegrad also joined the operational application.

"You're supposed to go. Bucton Lin turned to Pang Xiaonan, "What do you think, with him, if someone is injured in a sudden accident, it will be easier to deal with it." ”

Pang Xiaonan looked at Nandegrad's injured thigh and said, "Forget it, your movement is inconvenient, besides, my medical skills can withstand it." ”

"Oh, there is no way to serve the country. Nandegrad sighed and stopped talking.

"Then you say, who else can go?" Bucton Lin thought to himself, according to Pang Xiaonan's meaning, all the guards who were a little injured could not go, so there was really no one to participate.

"Why don't I go too?" Bucton Lin looked around, and said that he was a little less injured.

"Captain, you have to stay and grasp the big picture, of course you can't go. Pang Xiaonan grabbed his hair, "I see, just me and Wu Yongqiang will go, and the rest of the people will stay to protect the big army." ”

"What do you mean, you and Wu Yongqiang will protect BridgeMorgan, Oda Rima and Yang Dating from advancing, and the others will stay?" Bucton Lin felt that the group that was advancing seemed to be a little too small and dangerous.

On the other side, Rita Rima was talking to Totekchaski.

"Teacher, aren't you going to move on?" Oda Rima is going to keep going no matter what, she is not willing to stop there, there are still many unsolved mysteries in this new Bloss, and the infinite scenery is in danger.

Totekchaski looked up at the sky, looked at the corpses of rabbits all over the mountains, and said: "I actually want to move on, but I am too old to do anything, but it will affect everyone, if it weren't for you, I would have been bitten to death by rabbits, but you saved me, but you couldn't guarantee my own safety, so I decided to stay and not cause trouble to everyone." ”

"But now that you've come here, don't you want to see any more strange discoveries ahead?" Oda Rima has always felt that Totekchaski is a very curious person, and even at such an age, the fact that he came to explore this dangerous place with them shows that he is a person who is not willing to be lonely.

"Didn't Captain Bucton Lin just say that your advancing squad is just going to investigate the situation, and if there is no danger, we will still follow up. Although Totekchaski was a scientist, he felt that it was better to listen to the advice of professional soldiers in this unfathomable and dangerous environment.

"Well, it's fine, if I find something, I'll come back and tell you. Rita Rima stopped talking, looking in the direction she was heading, looking forward to the unknown scenery ahead.

"By the way, your marksmanship is so good, where did you learn it?" Totekchaski remembered that Oda Lima had saved himself several times, all with that pistol, and it didn't look like Oda Rima's marksmanship was not like a beginner.

"I, in addition to research, just like to practice guns. Rita Rima smiled mischievously, "You know, although the security in Huaguo is good, but like me, a single woman, it's better to pay attention to safety." ”

"Well," Totekchaski nodded, "I think you should still find a man to protect you, a girl, it's still not good to wield a knife and a gun." ”

"Eh, teacher, what do you think of Pang Xiaonan?" Oda Rima's cheeks were flushed, very charming.

"He," Totekchaski smiled, "he's a student, and you're more than ten years older than him, so you still want to eat young grass." ”

"But do you think he looks like a student?" Rita Rima turned around a little embarrassed by the teacher, "I see, he's an old fritter, and I suspect he's pretending to be a student and mixing in with the young people." ”

Oda Lima's intuition is very accurate, although Pang Xiaonan is in his 20s, but his thoughts are probably beyond forty or fifty, especially when he comes into contact with women, it can be said that he has read countless people.

"Haha, don't think about it so long-term, wait until you get home safely, think about this again, for now, you should hurry up and go. Totekchaski felt like the clock was slipping by, but the Black Mamba Guards still hadn't come up with a plan of action, which would be a bit of a waste of time.

Professor Cowhide Klaas on the side was questioning Yang Dating, "You kid, why can't you think of it with me every time?"

Yang Dating made a bitter face and said: "Professor, can you consider the actual situation, it is so dangerous here, you still have to move forward, do you know, in order to protect you just now, I have used all my strength to eat, next time I am afraid that I will not have such good luck......

Professor Cowhide Klaas mentioned Yang Dating's body with a kick, and said indignantly: "You can't speak, you can't speak, you haven't set off yet, just say such bad words, don't worry, I have my own natural appearance, and luck has always been with me." ”

Yang Dating dodged Professor Cowhide Krath's shadowless legs, and persuaded while crawling: "I think we should still stay, the front is too dangerous, if the advancing team can't come back, we still have a chance to retreat, if we go together, we may not be able to come back." ”

"Unproductive guy, I don't know why I chose you in the first place?" Professor Cowhide Klaas blew his beard and glared at Yang Dating, "Didn't you come here voluntarily, and I didn't force you, why are you so cowardly now." ”

"You said it was fun, Professor. Yang Dating finally hid a few meters away from Professor Cowhide Kras, "I was fooled by you, I regretted it on the first day on the ship, where is this fun, this is simply fatal." ”

"This is called wealth and danger, the more exciting the more fun, don't you see that person, isn't the rich man also coming, he doesn't want to die? People are inherently dead, why are you so afraid of death......" Professor Cowhide Klaas hates iron and steel, and now he is the only one left with his assistant, but this assistant is greedy for life and afraid of death.
