Chapter 9 Presumption
Fang Lin closed his eyes, obviously using his mental power to carefully search for clues around him, then compiled the list of tasks he received after entering the world, and carefully looked at the optional tasks listed above: As much as possible Rescue the imprisoned hostages. After a while, he smiled and said:
"Let's go."
Lin Yinxiu thought for a while and said doubtfully:
"Where are we going now? Is it to save the scientist Emerson? But even though you can know the approximate location where they are detained from the memory of the little boss, the thunderer has already set off for more than three hours. With his resolute and resolute character, , how could it still leave us a chance?”
Fang Lin narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"I don't know the specific location where the hostages are being held. This is not in the memory of the little boss, but his memory tells me: There are vast deserts for hundreds of kilometers around here, and the place where the hostages are being held is within a radius of several hundred kilometers. Within kilometers, it must be in an oasis in the desert, and this area has a radius of 200 kilometers. There are only four oases in it, one of which is on the verge of drying up, and the other two are too small. Only the remaining one has four springs, which are used to garrison the army and detain prisoners. It’s absolutely impossible to survive trekking in the desert if you escape.”
"And the Thunderer stayed here for a long time. After he fired that fateful thunderbolt, he stayed here for at least an hour and a half. So he only left about an hour before us."
Lin Yinxiu said curiously:
"How do you know?"
Fang Lin slapped the wall next to him with his hand, and with a hook of his fingers, he had already dug into the gap in the stone wall next to him. With a little help, he turned over and jumped onto the roof of a nearby stone house. He squatted down and looked carefully, and said lightly :
"The Thunderer has a habit of standing at a high place before taking action when he encounters a strong enemy. This may be related to his ability to control lightning, because the higher he stands, the easier it is to control the charge in the air. . And it’s also convenient for him to strike his opponent with lightning.”
"That's right," Lin Yinxiu recalled it, but still asked doubtfully: "So?"
"There is a kind of lizard in the desert that also likes to climb to high places at night to hunt moths and mosquitoes in the air and absorb moisture from the air." Fang Lin said seriously:
"Speaking of which, this is the credit of Lei Zhe. When I learned that I might be able to find a way to repair the gun in the Metal Slug world, I temporarily searched for some information about Metal Slug. There was an explanation in one of the documents. , if there is a lack of food in the desert, you can They caught lizards with this climbing habit at night to satisfy their hunger. When the thunderers kept climbing to high places, they trampled to death several of these lizards. The wind in the desert was very strong and the climate was dry. If it lasted three hours. The lizard was trampled to death before. I believe the lizard was dried long ago, but now..."
Fang Lin calmly raised his fingers, and you could clearly see that there was a trace of mucus between the two fingers he passed over the lizard corpse:
"The body of the Lizard has not been completely dried, which is enough to show that after the thunderer fired the fateful thunderbolt, he still fought with the powerful enemy in this market town for a long time."
Having said this, a rather strange look appeared in his eyes:
"And this enemy, if my guess is not wrong, should have dealt with us before. That is the powerful enemy we encountered in the real Samurai Shodown world! The Taliban! And the Thunderer won in the end."
When they mentioned this name, Lin Yinxiu and Lao Hu both thought of that weird man with a thin and dry body and an extremely bloated head. Although he seemed to be sitting in a wheelchair and unable to move. However, his S-level skill of silence can prevent enemies within a wide range from using combat skills for ten minutes, which is very powerful! The beauty of Lao Hulin is still fresh in the memory!
Fang Lin jumped off the top of the stone house and slowly walked to the sand dunes more than 20 meters outside the market town. There are two very clear deep marks there, extending diagonally towards the depths of the desert. It can be judged that they were crushed by the hurried movement of the wheelchair. On both sides of the deep mark, there was a shocking amount of blood spilled. The evidence that Fang Lin deduced seemed to come from here.
"Even if Lei Zhe knows the specific place where the hostages are being held, it is impossible for him to survive a battle with a powerful enemy such as the Taliban. Therefore, there must be a period of rest and recovery. So strictly speaking, Lei Zhe Three He only left one hour before us. However, he made a very critical mistake, which will directly lead to the fact that we can reach the oasis where the hostages are held first and it is unlikely that he will get there after rescuing the hostages. ”
"Why is that?" Old Hu Qi asked.
"Obstruction from the rebels." Fang Lin said calmly: "We are currently within the sphere of influence of Marshal Moriden. In view of the large-scale airdrop last night, the rebel reconnaissance aircraft must be Tianyi Liang will patrol everywhere, destroying and destroying people who go deep into the country. There are no large rocks in the vast Gobi desert, and the tallest shrubs are only half a person tall. There is no cover at all. Even if the three Lei Zhe are aware of it and want to hide, they have nowhere to hide! The trouble will naturally be big.”
"At this time, we can put on the clothes of these Arabian sand bandits and ride on camels. With these real Arabian sand bandits around us, naturally there is no such risk and we can approach them calmly."
Lin Yinxiu added that she was already planning to look at some cleaner Arab clothing.
Old Hu frowned and said:
"But the Thunderer can completely change into the appearance of an Arabian Sand Pirate?"
Fang Lin said lightly:
"He didn't take this into consideration. From the memory of the little boss, I learned that there were thirty-four sand bandits staying in the market town. We found a total of thirty-three corpses, and these corpses showed no signs of being stripped of their clothes. , the missing body was obviously The unlucky leader of the Sand Bandits was vaporized by the Thunderbolt's fateful thunderbolt, and Chuji Town was just a place used by the Sand Bandits to extort and expropriate passing merchants. Their lair was in another oasis, so the Thunderer could not find him. Go somewhere else to change clothes!”
As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. The powerful, the Taliban and others never expected that in this desolate and lifeless market town, Fang Lin could find so many clues and deduce so many crucial things!
…………..
After the group of people, including the non-combatants such as Wuxian Fu, put on the clothes ripped off from the Arabian Sand Bandits, they began to ride on camels. Camels have a docile temperament and are very comfortable to ride on. This guy walks very steadily and makes no sound at all.
The desert is quite quiet, but as far as the eye can see, there is nothing more than blue sky, white clouds, yellow sand, and of course the blazing sunshine. But after walking for a long time, it feels very monotonous and dull. The feeling of walking in the desert is very strange. When you climb to the top of one dune, you can always see another dune that is higher, and then you just keep climbing up and down. It was very uncomfortable riding a camel up and down the sand dunes. The uphill slopes were bumpy, but the downhill slopes were bumpy, and the body always leaned backwards.
Because the sky was getting brighter, Fang Lin's judgment was quite accurate. The rebel reconnaissance planes were quickly dispatched and flew around in the sky. The rebels' logo was very simple, with a circle with a big black cross in the middle. . The nose of the aircraft looked quite large, with a rotating propeller in front, and the wings were short, thick, and bi-winged. It looked like the specifications from World War II.
However, there was obviously more than just Fang Lin in the desert. Soon they discovered that a group of government soldiers were discovered by the rebels more than 20 kilometers ahead. Several air forces were quickly dispatched to kill them. Although the aircraft of this era are somewhat retro in appearance and somewhat similar to the fighter jets from World War II, their technology is many times more advanced.
In terms of weapons alone, the energy bullets fired seemed to have unlimited ammunition. They shot out billowing smoke and dust in the desert. However, if they were fired for too long, they would need a certain cooling time, and the missiles carried on the fuselage The capacity has also increased a lot. After those government soldiers were discovered, they resisted desperately, but because there was no bunker to hide in the desert, they only persisted for less than a quarter of an hour before they were all annihilated. Wuxiaofu immediately wanted to clean up the battlefield, but fortunately Fang Lin stopped him.
Fortunately, Fang Lin and his team were led by real Arabian Sand Pirates, so the reconnaissance plane flew back and forth several times, and it was quite professional and ethical that there was no accidental bombing. From this point of view alone, the rebels' The military quality and technology are much better than that of the United States, which is known as the number one military power in the real world.
As the sky grew brighter, more and more rebel planes were flying over the desert. Explosions were heard one after another. Fang Lin suddenly frowned slightly, then relaxed, pointing to the south and said:
"Thirty kilometers away, there was a strong mental fluctuation. It should be the Thunderer and the others who encountered Moriden's rebels. His lightning strike and the charged S-level skill! (shootingcometattack:! ) Comet Flame Explosion is quite effective against aircraft in the sky. Let’s get going!”
