Chapter 13: The Ghost of Whistling Castle (1)
"They really went to the Valley of Weeping! What should we do, still chasing?"
Mars' breath is heavy, and the starlight reflects the prototype of Weeping Valley, and if you go further, you will be out of the sphere of influence of the Mechanic God Cult.
On the site of the Mechanic Sect, they are really not afraid, and they can call Mechanic City for support at any time.
But now far away from the Goria Grand Canal, in a place close to the border of the forces, even if the mechanical city is called, there is no support.
"Chase! We have already chased here, do you want to return without success?"
"I don't believe that they walked all night without resting."
"They still don't know that someone is following behind them. When they get to Weeping Hollow, they must rest for a while. Then our chance will come."
"I also agree to continue the pursuit. This kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After this village, there will be no such shop."
Several people have expressed the idea of continuing to chase after you and me.
In the cold and bleak Gobi, I gritted my teeth and walked in the middle of the night. I decided to turn back after chasing here. Isn't that a stupid dog!
Mars and the commandos arrived at Weeping Valley first, and they did not panic, but waited for the other three teammates outside the valley.
"I got it right. They went to the abandoned castle in the valley to rest and didn't go directly across the valley."
"Wait a minute, we have a minute to be seated, and when we arrive, we will surround the castle together!"
The five of them had smiles on their faces. As long as this wave was successful, they could say goodbye to the desolate and desolate Gobi and enter the holy land mechanical city they dreamed of.
Soon the five gathered and walked towards the abandoned castle at the top of Weeping Hollow.
"Look, there is fire in the castle, lock the position!"
The five came under the castle and saw the glow of the red bonfire through the broken windows and gaps.
"It's good, it saves even the time to find someone."
Mars strolled around, returned to the front of the castle and said, "After the investigation, the castle has three entrances, front and rear, plus the side."
The captain thought for a moment and said, "Assaulters and medics go to the front door, and the scouts and I flank from the back door. The logistics don't need to go deep inside the castle, just squat at the side door to prevent the enemy from escaping."
"Now, activate the eyepiece and start the action!"
The five put on transparent goggles together, and then the goggles emitted a pale blue cold light, displaying various complex data and auxiliary functions.
Assault, medical, reconnaissance, firepower, logistics.
The primary chips of five different modules are jointly analyzed in real time, and the official battle begins!
After the division of labor by the captain, everyone immediately acted.
The wooden door of the back door of the castle has been completely decayed under the erosion of the years, and the glorious appearance of the castle can only be seen vaguely from the rusted metal skeleton of the door.
Mars and the captain carefully bypassed the gate, passed through the deserted back garden, and faintly saw the light of the high fire through the cracks in the castle wall.
"Hey, I also hid."
Mars couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, and then asked, "Captain, why is there a castle manor in such a steep valley?"
"You really asked the right person. I really know the history of this castle."
The voice of the conversation between the two was very low, and they didn't even need to open their mouths too much. This near-silent communication minimizes the range of sound transmission, making it easy to perform special tasks.
"Then boss, talk to me."
In Mars' view, the agents of the Wasteland Gang hiding in the castle were already a turtle in a urn and could not escape.
Therefore, the mentality is inevitably relaxed, and I follow the boss and ask him to popularize the origin of the castle.
After all, for a fanatical believer of the Mechanic God, there are not many opportunities to come to a sensitive area like Weeping Valley.
"This castle was originally..."
The same story happened inside the castle.
In the center of the castle hall, a bonfire was roaring vigorously, and the firewood crackled in the flames.
It is said that fire can purify everything, but at this moment, a small part of the hall is bright, and the rest is swallowed by darkness.
The darkness reflected suffocating scales and shapes on the walls, and at first glance it seemed that there was some indescribable ancient beast in the castle.
But when the picture turned to the bonfire, the orange-red flames showed a... idiot.
Ah Fu sat tremblingly in front of the fire, his black face glowing red.
"Boss, this castle seems to be very old..."
Link was filling the magazine with bullets and replied, "This castle has a history of almost a hundred years. It used to be the palace of a certain prince in the desert. Forty-two years ago, when the day of reckoning came, the prince fled the castle and was abandoned. After that, a fierce battle broke out between the Free Alliance and the Mechanicus near the Weeping Valley, and the castle, as a temporary headquarters, was bombarded in the war. After the war, the two sides tacitly used the Weeping Valley as a buffer zone, and it has been abandoned since then. "
A'Fu opened his mouth wide and looked carefully at the barren walls. He couldn't help sighing, "I didn't expect Forbes to have the opportunity to live in the prince's palace..."
Link finished reloading the magazine, and the treasure-hunting rat on the side came to him and started to squeak.
The enemy has entered the interior of the castle.
Click!
Link loaded the magazine neatly, got up and said to A'Fu: "A-Fu, no matter what sound you hear later, just sit here for me and don't move, do you hear me?"
Just as A Fu was about to answer, he suddenly heard the twisting and sharp friction sound of the rusty metal being blown by the wind, and it came up along the gap in the abandoned castle, which made him stand up immediately.
A Fu's forehead was visibly frightened with sweat beads, which looked like rubies under the light of the fire.
"Boss, I can actually help..."
Link decisively raised his hand to stop it: "You are already helping me by staying here!"
Seeing what Alfred wanted to say, Link hurriedly added: "I'm telling the truth, you are here to act as a bait. This time, you will take credit for killing the fanatic."
Hearing the bait, Ah Fu's eyes widened to the limit, and his eyes almost fell out of shock.
"Don't worry, those fanatics can't come to you alive. You can just sit and rest here in peace."
"Okay Xiaobao, let's go!"
After Link said that, he turned around neatly and disappeared into the darkness with the treasure mouse.
Ah Fu wanted to catch up, but the castle was huge and the road was very winding. The places around the hall where the fire could not be illuminated were all pitch black. Even if Ah Fu wanted to go, he didn't know where he could go!
Frightened, he held a kitchen knife and paced in place.
Link holds the Glock in his hand, without any lighting, walking in the dark like walking on the ground, coming and going like the wind.
If the blue wall labyrinth in the city ruins is Link's first attempt to pull monsters and single-play, then the Howling Castle in Weeping Hollow is where he became famous.
In the history of the castle told to Afu, it used to be the headquarters of the Free Federation against the Mechanicus. However, after more than half a year, the friction and conflict between the Free Federation and the Mechanicum gradually began, and this place will once again become the front line.
Same as the blue wall labyrinth.
Link was so familiar with this abandoned castle that he could walk back and forth with his eyes closed, and the mere darkness naturally couldn't stop him.
If you think that Link's level is limited to this, then you will underestimate the meaning of the word "fame".
Now all five mechanical fanatics have entered the castle.
In the past, Link still needed to listen to the voice to defend his position, or appear to be seduced.
But now, there is a fixed-point report of the treasure-hunting mouse, which is not so troublesome at all.
He just needs to appear unnoticed, take advantage of his unpreparedness to make a sneak attack, and then withdraw after the fight.
Quietly appeared, do not shoot!
According to the information of the treasure mouse, Link already knew the plan of the five people.
"If five people get together, it may also cause some pressure. Choosing to spread out and outflank is simply suicide."
His first target was the back door.
The two people who came in through the back door, one was an artilleryman with heavy firepower, and the other should be a scout.
The heavy-fire artilleryman is wrapped with exoskeleton equipment and heavy-fire weapons, so the metal composition on his body is the highest.
The front door is for the assaulters and medics, and the logistics is responsible for guarding the side door, so there is only one last option to follow the artilleryman - the scout.
As long as he understands the tactical logic of the primary chip and the information about the treasure mouse, Link seems to have seen the five people enter the castle with his own eyes, and knows the identities of the five people.
The heavy-armed gunner and the scout with the reconnaissance module are the most threatening to Link in the five-man squad.
So Link decided to kill the two first.
As long as the gunners and scouts with the most powerful firepower are eliminated, the rest will become headless flies, which can be solved at any time by themselves.
51 rounds of 9mm bullets,
Kill two lv10 mechanical fanatics,
enough!
The fire in the hall on the fourth floor of the castle was deliberately done by Link, the purpose was to attract five people to touch the row upstairs.
"Okay, let's wait for the fish to take the bait!"
Link's only way to reach the second floor, a sly smile rose from the corner of his mouth...
Although Captain Mechanic Fanatic and Mars were already very careful, they still easily stepped on some shattered things under their feet, and made various smashing noises unconsciously, which made their heads swell.
"If this kind of sound is still made upstairs, I'm afraid that the other party will find out before I touch it." Mars couldn't help but complain.
Walk past the first floor where all kinds of waste are piled up and come to the stairs.
In the past, stairs and wooden floors were meticulously maintained every year.
However, after the day of reckoning, the building was empty, and the place has been completely abandoned for forty-two years.
However, the wooden floor is not weathered and decayed, and it can still carry the weight of people. I can only admire the luxury of this prince back then. The floor is made of top-quality wood, and it is still tough after nearly half a century.
Of course, it would have been even better without the crunch caused by this annoying walking.
Fortunately, the decibel number displayed on the goggles is not very large, so you don't have to worry about spooking the snake.
The two crept up the spiral staircase to the second floor.
When the lights on Mars' shoulders sprinkled on the long and narrow corridor of the castle, Mars and the captain all trembled, and they took a deep breath and became nervous!
P.S: In the new week, ask for a recommendation ticket for a reward!
