Chapter 435 Late Night
Chen Chuan and his party set off in the morning by car. However, they chased until noon but never caught up with the horse team.
And it was not difficult to feel that the cavalry team had been deliberately leading them away from the station.
If they continue to chase like this, the remaining time may not be enough for them to reach the nearest station before night arrives.
Chen Chuan said at this time: "If we withdraw at this time, we will not come out, so I plan to continue chasing them and put pressure on them."
He looked at his two teammates and said, "In that case, you have to choose to spend the night in the wild, but you all know the dangers of the night. If you are not prepared, then I allow you to go back."
Yuan Qiuyuan leaned on his position, with a nonchalant smile on his face, and said: "Captain, what are you talking about? You are looking down on me. In my rules of conduct, Yuan Qiuyuan, there is no such thing as running away from the battlefield."
Qin Qingque said seriously: "Captain, I will not leave the team."
Chen Chuan nodded and said: "Now that you have decided, there is no need to think about quitting later. Executive Qin, please send a telegram to Advisor Rao a little later to tell him our decision. Let's continue now."
Chase down."
"yes!"
The off-road vehicle continued to chase down. During this period, a telegram came from the fortress to inquire about the situation. They replied that they were still pursuing and had not encountered the enemy yet, and reported their position.
The fortress immediately responded with a message, reminding them that they had strayed too far. They were still five or six hours away from the nearest station, and told them not to pursue them.
However, Chen Chuan immediately asked Qin Qingque to reply. This time they planned to pursue him, and in order not to lose him, after careful consideration, they decided to spend the night in the wild.
"What? Spend the night in the wild?"
In Fortress No. 73, after receiving the news, Advisor Rao was so anxious that he ran around in circles and immediately wanted to send another report to persuade Chen Chuan and the others to come back.
However, thinking of Chen Chuan's attitude before leaving, he might have considered this a long time ago, and there might be some way to deal with it.
But he had to consider one thing. Now Chen Chuan and his team are the only team capable of fighting against the Iron Demon and operating in this area. If they are eliminated by the Iron Demon, then before more powerful teams are mobilized, the rear
I can only let it go back and forth.
At this time, the situation must be reported to the combat command room.
He asked the telegraph operator to leave, put on his earphones and sent the telegram himself, describing the basic situation.
However, regarding Chen Chuan's decision to go out for an operation, he took a breath and added his name in the appendix, indicating that it was a unanimous decision of the team including himself.
On the other side of the dense forest, Qin Qingque raised his head and said, "Captain, it's ready."
Chen Shuanchuan: "Continue to pursue, and at four o'clock, we will stop and set up camp." The cavalry in front can keep moving, but the traces are not so easy to eliminate.
Even if the opponent can move at night, they need to consider that in order to reach the fortress No. 73, they must travel at night and rest during the day, and they still have to rush on their way without hesitation, even if they use too much horsepower. This is the case for several days in a row.
We didn't have any rest last night, and today we are facing another daylong pursuit by them. We will definitely try to rest this night, so we are not afraid that they will go too far.
As long as they were pushed back, they would have no time to do anything else except turn around and eliminate them, but that was what he expected.
After a few more hours, the sky gradually became darker.
Chen Chuan looked outside and said, "Let's camp here."
"yes!"
Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque dared to chase down. They were not blind. They had made some preparations before.
And through their previous interactions, they could feel that although the captain looked young, he was always very stable and his judgment was accurate. They thought he should have some certainty about this.
But even so, they were still a little nervous about the unpredictable night.
Chen Chuan asked two people to take down the tools and equipment from the car and arrange some simple defense settings and warning signs around it. Chen Chuan took out the esoteric materials he had prepared in advance and began to smear them on the inner and outer walls of the car.
Protection and protective coatings are usually used to prevent abnormal situations here. This is what is used in station fortresses, but esoteric materials can also be used.
It’s just that ordinary people may not have this knowledge, and this thing itself is relatively strictly controlled and sensitive, and the material itself does not have the conditions to stay for a long time, so maybe this is why it is not used.
But for a few of them, and only for one night, it was just right.
When Yuan Qiuyuan saw him describing the ceremony, he couldn't help but said: "Captain, what are you..." However, after only half a sentence, he noticed something and shut up.
He knew that there were some things that he shouldn't ask, so he shouldn't ask, and wouldn't it be great if the captain was capable?
Qin Qingque didn't even say a word. She always fulfilled her responsibilities as a subordinate very well and never asked anything else.
Chen Chuan had already thought about the ceremony he would use when he set out, so he started drawing it without any reference this time, and it took less than an hour to arrange it.
But he didn't stop there. He asked two people to take off the outermost stab-proof robe and bring it over, and also painted some ritual patterns on it.
At this moment, only more than thirty miles away from them, the iron demon's large army was staying here.
At this time, a horseman came nearby, saluted on his horse, and said: "Captain, they have been following us, and they did not rush back, but stayed where they were. They probably want to spend the night there. Captain, we
What to do now?”
The iron demon just rode his horse on the spot and looked into the distance. After a while, a dull voice came from behind the mask.
"Wait."
On the other side, after Chen Chuan finished setting up the place, the three of them got back into the car. Night came quickly, and like a heavy curtain falling, the surroundings were suddenly shrouded in darkness.
Yuan Qiuyuan looked out the car window warily, but he didn't feel anything for a long time. Just when he thought the darkness in the blending area was nothing more than this, he suddenly heard a rustling sound very close to him.
It was as if a huge snake was swimming over the car, and the sound of the scales rubbing together and the feeling of the car sinking under the weight of something heavy were extremely clear.
After a long time, the thing seemed to swim past, but at this moment, there was a bang, and the car wall seemed to be hit hard by something, causing the car body to shake. After a few breaths, the impact
The movement came again, and this time, it seemed that the entire car body was about to turn over to one side.
Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque both had tense bodies, weapons in their hands, and serious expressions.
Chen Chuan seemed very calm. He saw a trace of blurring on the second self, but it was not too strong. However, correspondingly, the material painted on the inner wall of the car was gradually getting darker. I believe
Same goes for those painted on the outside of the car.
Looking at this situation, it seems that it will be difficult to sustain it all night, but he deliberately left some gaps, and when it is consumed later, he will try to add some more for reinforcement.
The sound of impact disappeared again after several times, as if the thing attacking the vehicle had given up.
But they heard a heavy sound approaching. It seemed to be a huge creature. Every time a foot fell, it would shake the ground, and each step would fall a little later. It can be imagined that the distance traveled was huge.
.
Not only that, they could feel each other getting closer and closer at the moment.
It looked like their vehicles were blocking each other's path.
Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque couldn't help but wonder, when that thing came over, would it trample them directly on the car? Should they drive to a different position quickly?
Chen Chuan had been paying attention to the activity index of the two people since the night fell. Now he found that in just a short while, the index of the two people had soared to more than 20, and it was still going up.
If it exceeds thirty, it enters a dangerous stage.
He said: "Executive Yuan, Executive Qin, you two should use breathing techniques to suppress the activity immediately. If you can't suppress it, take medicine. You don't need to think too much about the rest, and you don't need to worry about it."
Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque immediately responded: "Yes, captain."
Chen Chuan's calmness infected the two people. They immediately put aside those distractions and maintained the breathing method. The rising index on their bodies slowly stopped and fell slowly, but very slowly.
After a while, their minds settled in it, and when they stopped, they found that the long night had passed, and there was a bright light outside the car window, as if what they had experienced last night was all illusion.
Yuan Qiuyuan let out a breath, opened the car door, and stepped out of the car. However, he quickly discovered that something was wrong, because the place where they could stay at this moment was at least several hundred meters away from where they stayed yesterday, and on the car body, it was obvious that
I saw signs of being hit and rubbed by things.
And there was a huge pothole just a few meters away from the car. The pothole extended outwards and gradually stretched into the distance, which reminded him of the huge noise last night.
What I encountered last night was definitely not just an illusion!
Qin Qingque didn't get out of the car. She turned on the radio, first sent a telegram to Fortress No. 73, and then started to receive news from other stations.
Yuan Qiuyuan came over at this time and said: "Captain, those things last night were really weird and unpredictable, but what did the people led by Tie Yao rely on to be able to stay outside for so long? Belief? Drugs? Not all of them had it.
Is it a demon?"
Chen Chuanchuan: "It must be some kind of special method. We still can't imitate it. Otherwise, we have been cooperating with the indigenous people for so long, so there is no reason why we can't master it."
"That's true." Yuan Qiuyuan thought for a while and said with lingering fear: "But if they attacked us last night, would we have to face those anomalies head-on?"
Chen Chuanhuan: "It's not that simple. Although the Iron Demon can move at night, the attacks so far have always been close to dawn. Just like the night before yesterday, when I noticed something strange, it was almost close to dawn.
If they can launch an attack at any time during the night, there is no need to wait until then, so we just need to be prepared during this time."
Yuan Qiuyuan chuckled, "It seems that Tie Yao and the others are not afraid of anything."
Chen Chuan glanced at his watch and said, "Let's pack up and set off. We will continue to pursue them today. We will see when they can no longer bear it."
