Chapter 469 Detonating the Dam(1/2)
Ma Yan'er said: "I asked for it on my own initiative."
Lingeni said: "This is not a scientific investigation at all, it doesn't make sense for you to come."
Ma Yan'er put down the notes in her hand, looked at Lingeni and said, "Do you think I'm in the way?"
Lin Geni shook her head and said softly: "Go to sleep, replenish your energy, and we will set off soon." She had basically guessed the reason why Ma Yan'er joined the team. It was probably because the general had Ma Yan'er and Lu Mingxiang in this team, with Ma Yan'er and Lu Mingxiang in the team, Lu Jianyang had to follow the general's orders.
Luo Lie and Shen Pengfei were responsible for the vigil tonight. Luo Lie took out the cigarette box, took out a lit point by himself, and then handed the cigarette box to Chen Pengfei. Chen Pengfei shook his head and smiled, "I don't smoke."
Luo Lie took the cigarette box back, took a sip of the cigarette, looked up at the starry night sky. From here, it looked like the night sky was no different from the outside world.
Chen Pengfei said: "We should be not far from our destination, and we will be able to arrive tomorrow morning at the latest."
Luo Liedao: "The news that Long Tianxin provides to you?"
Chen Pengfei hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. He asked, "What kind of person is Long Tianxin?"
Luo Liedao: "The most common method she uses is to attack the east and the west."
Chen Pengfei said: "Speaking and attacking the world? Are you saying that she might have lied about this matter?"
Luo Lie said: "It may not be." He glanced at the surrounding camp and whispered: "With our current combat effectiveness, we may not be a match for the Scorpio club."
Chen Pengfei also admitted this, and he did not admit defeat, sighed and said, "The main reason is that most of our weapons have failed. We can only use these backward equipment to fight the enemy. However, I also have a backup plan. We do not need to fight the enemy head-on. We can arrange explosives around after finding the experimental base to destroy the base."
Luo Lie said: "Do you carry enough explosives?"
Chen Pengfei said with confidence: "There is no problem."
Luo Lie said: "The one who knows Ming Huayang best should be Long Tianxin. She should also know very well about the Demon Island. Before you act, did you not provide you with information about Demon Island?"
Chen Pengfei shook his head: "No! What do you doubt?"
Luo Lie said: "I'm worried that she just uses us as bait."
Chen Pengfei said: "She is really that powerful?"
Luo Lie said: "I just said that there is such a possibility, but we should be careful."
Chen Pengfei got up and sprayed around the camp, using this plant-based spray to block their breath and avoid the risk from wild animals to the greatest extent. After the work was completed, he picked up the telescope and observed the surroundings, but saw a wild boar running at the bottom of the hillside, and two velociraptors in the rear were still attacking left and right.
It doesn't take much effort to catch up with this wild boar at the speed of the velociraptor, but they are obviously teasing the wild boar, sometimes chasing and blocking each other, forcing the wild boar to keep changing directions. The wild boar was so tired that he couldn't stop and his head hit the tree trunk in front.
The wild boar staggered in place like a drunkenness, and the two velociraptors took a step back, preparing to launch a fatal blow to their prey.
But suddenly a huge head poked out from the woods, bit the wild boar and dragged it in in one bite. The wild boar struggled and made a hissing sound.
The two velociraptors watched the prey they had found were taken away in the middle, and the long hairs behind their necks stood up. They opened their mouths and exposed their sharp teeth, and rushed into the forest with a roar.
The screams of wild boars at the foot of the mountain also woke up the companions in the camp. Ma Yaner poked her head out of the camp tent and said in a panic: "What happened?"
Luo Lie stood up and said, "The Law of Nature!" Survival of the fittest and the fittest survive.
Chen Pengfei looked at the time. It was still fifty minutes before they agreed to leave. He decided to leave immediately. The head that had just poked out of the forest and bit the wild boar and dragged it in. Because the giant beast was too fast, he did not see clearly and could not tell what kind of creature it was. However, based on his feelings, he judged that it should be a huge carnivorous creature like Tyrannosaurus Rex. In other words, although it was about three kilometers away from their camp and was located under the hillside, such a distance was nothing to a large creature.
After receiving the order, everyone immediately began to prepare their luggage. They had already packed up within five minutes and continued to set off towards the top of the mountain.
Ma Yan'er came to Chen Pengfei and asked curiously: "Captain Chen, what was he just now?"
Chen Tengfei said: "It should be two velociraptors chasing a wild boar, but a huge guy appeared in the middle and snatched his prey."
Ma Yan'er's eyes shining and said, "Is it a Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
Chen Pengfei said: "I didn't see clearly. It only poked out one head, and it was too fast."
Ma Yaner said with great anticipation: "I really hope to see it with my own eyes."
Lu Mingxiang said: "It's better not to see it."
The white face nodded and said, "Blessed by Bodhisattva, I hope these monsters will be as far away as possible from us."
Chen Pengfei smiled and said, "When did you start to believe in Buddhism? Aren't you an atheist?"
The white-faced said, "I'll just say that."
Ma Yaner said: "They are not monsters, they are all real creatures on the earth. Before humans appeared, they were the masters of the earth."
Lu Mingxiang said: "But their era has passed. Since it has entered the dust of history, it should not come out to scare people again."
The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Luo Lie, who was walking behind the team, had a helpless expression. He was also a monster who should enter the dust of history. Lin Geni, who was walking side by side with him, quietly held his hand and blinked at him. She guessed what Luo Lie was thinking.
Each of them is highly vigilant. After all, their current combat effectiveness is greatly reduced and they can only fight with traditional conventional weapons. Not to mention dealing with psychics, even a Tyrannosaurus Rex may cause them heavy losses, so their actions must be very cautious.
At three o'clock in the morning, they had arrived at the peak smoothly. Before dawn, the entire island was still shrouded in darkness. Chen Pengfei raised his telescope and looked down. He saw a lake in the center of the island, which happened to be at the entrance of the valley between the two peaks. One third of the lake water blocked another dam. This dam divided the island into two parts. They are now located on the east side. There are no buildings on the east side of the dam, but there are some buildings on the other side.
Chen Pengfei said with relief: "There are buildings there, which should be the secret base of the Scorpio Society."
Lingeni said: "There is actually a hydropower station hidden here."
Luo Liedao: "It's not just a hydropower station, but a dam is also a natural wall. The large beasts here should not be able to cross the dam and enter the other half."
"If we had known this, we should have landed directly from the other side, so we would have avoided so many unjust paths."
The donkey said: "Although it may be possible to avoid the risk of exposure, it will increase a lot."
The gun said: "How do you know that we are not exposed now?"
The donkey said, "It shouldn't be. We have not seen any traces of civilization along the way. Everyone in the east of the reservoir dam maintains its original appearance."
Ma Yaner said: "Do you think this is like a big safari?"
Lingeni said: "The test site is right. Although it is not small, it still cannot form a complete ecological environment. Have you noticed that goat should be fed manually?"
Ma Yaner said, "You mean they will come to feed them regularly?"
Lingeni nodded and said, "It should be."
Chen Pengfei said: "Everyone rests on site for fifteen minutes. We must speed up our pace and strive to reach the lakeside below before dawn." He estimated the distance. With their march speed, it was estimated that the lake below could be completely accessible within two hours. It would not be dawn at around five o'clock.
Ma Yan'er said, "No need to rest, let's leave now."
The other people meant this. Although the conversation between them was very relaxed, everyone was very nervous. After all, they were in a crisis-ridden environment, and it was impossible to guarantee that an ancient beast would pop up at any time.
So everyone continued to move forward. It took a lot of physical strength to march in the dense forest for a long time. However, they were all carefully selected professional soldiers. Although Ma Yan'er was an exception, she was of excellent physical condition and had professional training before coming here. In addition, the novel scenes she witnessed made her extremely excited and could not even feel tired.
What Luo Lie is most worried about is Lin Geni's body. After all, she had a precedent for an attack before, and she always paid attention to Lin Geni's condition, but until now, everything is normal.
When it was dawn, they had already arrived in the valley, less than a kilometer away from the lake ahead. They were not in a hurry to get out of the jungle, because they heard the roar in the air and saw a helicopter passing over the dam and flying towards them. Everyone hurriedly dispersed and concealed.
Chen Pengfei looked up and found that the helicopter was not an advanced model. There was a bull hanging at the bottom of the helicopter, obviously going to the jungle they passed by last night to feed.
Ma Yaner glanced at Lin Geni, and was indeed criticized by Lin Geni. The environment here still could not form a complete ecosystem. The ancient beasts still needed manual feeding to survive.
There were more than one plane responsible for feeding. They counted and five planes flew out from the other side of the dam one after another.
Lu Mingxiang said in confusion: "Why can their planes be operated freely, while our planes and ships fail?"
The white face said: "Just like the frequency band of the walkie-talkie, they fit the frequency band here."
The gun said: "In this way, we can use it as long as we snatch their planes and weapons."
The donkey sang: "There is no gun or cannon, the enemy will make it for us..."
The cannon slapped him on the back of the head: "Speak quietly, don't attract monsters."
Moo! A roar like thunder resounded in the air, and everyone was startled. The sound came from the lake. Looking up, a giant python stretched out on the lake. As the giant figure appeared more and more out of the water, it was only then that it was a plesaurus.
Ma Yaner was very happy and quickly took out her camera and pointed it at the lake to shoot.
The cannon grew up his mouth stupidly, but he didn't expect that he would tell him the truth. He pounded the donkey with his elbow and said, "I just told you not to sing, you have attracted the big dragon."
The donkey smiled and said, "This is called plesiosaur, which eats herbs and does not eat people."
The cannon said: "Don't eat people? That's a dragon and not a donkey. If you have a genus, you can try it."
The donkey was robbed by him and hurriedly asked Ma Yan'er for help: "Doctor, you said, do you think plesaurus doesn't eat people?"
Ma Yan'er nodded and said, "If you don't eat people, you are indeed herbivorous creatures."
Luo Lie said: "It's better to be careful. After all, the genes of these organisms cannot be called pure. Perhaps their genes have varying degrees of mutation."
The donkey said in surprise: "What does it mean?"
The cannon smiled and said, "I don't understand this? That is to say, the taste of these ancient creatures may have changed. In the past, I have eaten vegetarian food and now I have eaten meat."
Another plesiosaur floated out of the lake. As its neck tilted, a big fish was thrown into the sky. The plesiosaur that appeared first raised its small head and held the big fish in its mouth. Seeing the scene in front of him, the donkey couldn't help but shrink his head back and said in surprise: "It... they actually eat meat..."
The cannon said: "Not only eat meat, but also eat meat without spitting out bones."
Everyone felt more and more heavy when they saw the scene in front of them. Luo Lie said it was correct. These cloned ancient creatures were indeed different from those recorded in paleontology. They had more or less mutated.
They waited patiently for about half an hour and saw the helicopters heading to airdrop food back one by one.
The hiding woods have reached the end. If they want to go to the dam, they have to pass through a large open area. If they pass through the open area ahead, the helicopter just flies back and it is easy to find their traces, and they don't want to be exposed so early.
Shen Pengfei used a pen to draw a sketch in front of the notebook he carried with him, signaling everyone to gather around him. He whispered: "This is the map I drew. If we want to enter their core, we must go to the other side of the dam. The middle section is relatively open and relatively easy to find. These are the two hidden places I just discovered. Everyone should be careful of the air alert, and at the same time, pay attention to whether there are any beasts around, try to stay away from the lake, and never provoke plesiosaurs."
Everyone circulated Shen Pengfei's notebook, and everyone kept the route in mind.
Because all the intercom equipment is ineffective, they cannot be separated too far. Even if they act separately, they need to strictly agree on time.
This time, Shen Pengfei and his team were still taking the lead. They ran towards the dam quickly according to the established route. The two groups of people acted in unison and did not separate.
When they quickly entered the open area, the ground suddenly shook, but a huge plesiosaur climbed out of the lake, and only one foot fell on the shore, which shocked the ground. Everyone did not dare to stop and ran towards the dam at full speed. Another plesiosaur came to the shore. It took a leisurely step. Although the pace was very slow, it was huge after all, and its movement speed was far beyond that of humans. The trouble was that it blocked the route pre-developed by Shen Pengfei.
To be continued...
