Chapter 82
Even though Zhang Xun emphasized the importance of reporting the letter very much, everyone knew that if they chose to go back at this time, if the remaining people survived with the captain, they would be doomed to break with those who chose to stay. After all, mutual trust is the most important thing for hunters. Everyone holds the activation button of the neutralizer in their hands, and only brothers who trust each other can survive in the dangerous outside world.
But what is threatened is life after all. For many, loyalty means nothing if life cannot be preserved.
There is no right or wrong option, just two different paths. Zhang Xun does not believe that moral pressure should be exerted on anyone at this time. Everyone should pay the corresponding price for their choices.
In the end, four people chose to go back with Josh. They didn't find much food, so they took the few wild rabbits they found with them. Zhang Xun also gave them a mechanical bug and a mini machine of his own, and told them to move as soon as they heard the alarm. Location.
The whole preparation and departure process was very quiet. All the arrogance of the previous quarrel was extinguished. The five people silently took what everyone gave them, and left before dawn.
Zhang Xun didn't force Adam to go back with those five people, which surprised Adam a bit.
The remaining eight stayed up all night, trying to mark the possible locations of the mines on a battered old map of British Columbia.
"Judging from the opponent's weapons and equipment we have seen so far, I am afraid that many of their technologies were brought over by the Titanium senior engineer, and the most advanced Eden technology has not even been widely used. From this point of view, they There is no resistance to technology itself, which is different from us.” Looking at the dim áng optical fiber emitted by the flashlight, Zhang Xun saw the resolute faces in front of him, “They embrace technology, and may even worship technology. They will not voluntarily cut off their hands and feet for such a large-scale transformation. Then why do they still buy the Red Lady's weapon?"
All the hunters looked at him blankly, and the youngest hunter asked stupidly, "Yeah, why?"
"Maybe the Red Lady has some information that we don't know. Maybe the Red Lady just wanted to do business with Feather Serpent City from the beginning, and we are just her means to raise the price. But they bypassed The United States must not have come so far away for weapons. Now we know that they may have a stronghold in the mine. Feather Serpent City is clearly in Central America, but they have to run so far to set up a stronghold. I have two One is that they are experimenting with some kind of weapon of mass destruction, and they don’t want to affect their own refugee country.” After Zhang Xun finished speaking, he took a sip of the hot water he had just boiled with the gas stove in the kitchen, his face pale. dignified.
"What about the other one?" Ganon asked impatiently, "Don't hesitate, finish it all at once!"
Zhang Xun glanced at Adam, and said in a deep voice, "Another possibility is that they have a deal with Eden. The goal is Paradise Lost."
A Bulgarian hunter drew a cross on his chest, and prayed to God mutteringly...
"No matter what it is, how can we rescue the captain and the others? We don't even have many guns now. Can your robot do anything?" Ganon said, staring at Adam.
Adam smiled politely and friendly, "All of Eden's technology is mine. I can do a lot of things. As long as you guys let me into their base."
But Zhang Xun hesitated, "I'm not sure it's a good idea. If they have a cooperative relationship with Eden, it's hard to say whether they came for Adam. In that case, we are giving them what they want for nothing. before."
"If this is the case, it will be even easier." Adam spread his hands indifferently, "You can directly use me as a bargaining chip and exchange hostages with them."
Zhang Xun stared at Adam, "Don't even think about it."
"Then I have my way of disabling all their machinery."
"No!" Zhang Xun said categorically, "I respect you enough without forcing you to leave with Josh and those people, but if you say one more word, I will put you on standby right now."
Adam had no choice but to shut his mouth resentfully.
Cannon next to him still sneered and muttered in a low voice, "Oh my god, it's as fierce as my guy..."
In the end, the eight people discussed and decided to sneak into the mountains to find where their plane was parked before dawn. Such a big plane needs a wide platform, so it shouldn't be hard to find.
However, three hours later, it was broad daylight, but they still did not find the shadow of the tarmac. The shrubs here are denser than elsewhere, and among the vines and leaves, you can occasionally see an abandoned coal truck crooked beside the mountain wall, and the inside has been occupied by plants. Not far past the coal wagon, they found a thin track among the wormwood and ferns, which was obviously the track that the coal wagon had walked before. They proceeded carefully along the track, and finally found a mine entrance on a mountain wall that went straight up and down.
The originally decayed wooden frame was replaced by new alloy steel bars, and the plants at the entrance of the cave were also cleaned up, obviously someone had entered and exited. It's just that there is only the sound of wind and birdsong in the forest at this time, and there is no one.
