Chapter 50 Clues (recommendation ticket)

Shang Jianyao hearing this, as if thinking, said:

“Cruel, neat, clean, this Is it a premeditated revenge?”

In his opinion, it may not be revenge, but it must be premeditated and targeted.

Jiang Baiman looked at the bright and clear opening of the sky, and thought for a moment:

“Not necessarily.

“It may also be a resident of Black Rat Town because of a certain These things exposed Xingzang, and people discovered this cave. Regardless of their sub-human identities, the weapons and ammunition they exchanged from the company, and the winter food they stocked, they were enough to attract strong malice.

“The attackers probably never thought of concealing their identities and eliminating traces at first, because possessing thermobaric bombs is a relatively obvious feature. Perhaps they were searching for supplies at the end of the battle. After discovering the Wireless Electronics reporter, I suspected that Black Mouse Town had established contact with a major power and became a vassal. Then, in order not to be retaliated, the battlefield was swept away in a hurry.”

Bai Chen There is no way to tell whether this incident was premeditated or accidental. I can only make some relatively obvious conclusions from my own perspective:

“Ignore the motivation first, now I can barely confirm the following:

“First, the attacker team has an above-standard order, otherwise the impossible sweeps the battlefield so clean, leaving us with little clues. This basically ruled out the possibility that they were improvised by several bandit groups.

“Secondly, the ability to have thermobaric bombs and individual combat weapons indicates that the strength of the attacker team is also above the standard, and the reputation will not be too small.”

See Shang Jianyao seemed a little puzzled. Bai Chen added:

“On the earth, there are few teams with hidden strength. Only by fully demonstrating their strength can they deter followers and surrounding enemies and occupy enough Resources.

“In this regard, perhaps only big forces and loners, as well as a few people’s squads, are the exceptions. However, among the former, most of them were shot and shot at the beginning. Only after the strength has reached a certain level, they did some strategic concealment. As for the latter two, most of them did not hide their strength when fighting, but they had fewer witnesses and could effectively control them. “

Jiang Baiman “Hmm” said:

“In addition, one detail can be inferred from the current situation:

“The attacker was at least twenty , No, more than 30 people, otherwise the guards outside Black Rat Town will be solved without being so clean. It is also impossible to make the town of Black Rat Town shrink in the cave. Instead of trying to counterattack, only consider evacuation through alternate channels. “

Shang Jianyao couldn’t help but nodded.

This kind of reasoning seems so simple, but he didn’t think about it just now:

If the attackers are small, the size of two or three hundred people in Black Rat Town, plus The various weapons provided by “Pangu Creatures”, even if the equipment on the other side is relatively strong, can be pushed out completely.

“Yes.” Bai Chen glanced at the area that was not illuminated by the flashlight. “From the gunshot marks on some of the corpses, the attacker team’s weapons are also relatively mixed, which can almost rule out the large forces. It’s possible, of course, maybe the attacker’s refurbishment is to create this kind of trace, but the big forces are not afraid of being retaliated and there is no need to do so.”

Shang Jianyao gradually got used to such discussions, Start to join in:

“You can also exclude the’slavery team’. For them, the most valuable thing is the population. It is not in their style to slaughter the entire Black Rat Town.”

“Yes, even sub-humans can mine, especially the townspeople in Black Rat Town, who are good at this. Even if they can’t pass the psychological barrier, they are afraid of being infected with diseases and distortion. You can also separate them from ordinary mining slaves, form a separate formation, and remote weapon overseer.” Jiang Baiman said casually, without paying attention to any grammar.

She immediately asked:

“Anything else?”

Shang Jianyao thought for a while and said:

“Assault There may not really be more than 30 people in the team, I mean the core members.

“They can completely pack dozens of foreign vassals with seven or eight core members. Anyway, it seems that they are very powerful. That’s it.

“When the battle is over, the battlefield is cleaned up, and the traces are dealt with, the seven or eight core members will take care of themselves or supervise the work. This can also achieve good results.”

Jiang Baiman nodded with satisfaction:

“Do not rule out this possibility.

“Combining those mentioned above, and considering the dialogue in the recorder, we can initially outline some of the attacker team Features:

“The first situation, the human team, the number is more than 30, the reputation is not small, the behavior is very ruthless, the experience is rich, and the thermobaric bombs, individual combat weapons and other powerful equipment are not included Or they don’t depend on the big forces, and they are not too short of food at the moment.

“The second situation is that there are fewer than ten core members, and there are a lot of vassals or cooperative teams. “

After summarizing, Jiang Baiman’s mouth is slightly upturned, but he said without the slightest smile:

“In the first case, although there are many similar teams on the earth, they are also Absolutely not many, the ones located nearby and the ones that came nearby can be counted. As long as you have more contact with the surrounding wilderness wanderers and relic hunters, you should be able to quickly screen out the main suspects, and then investigate them one by one.

“The second situation is that there are vassals and a cooperative team, which means that many things cannot be truly kept secret. The multitude of people is definitely not just nothing serious. In addition, the materials harvested by those people, except for their own use , Will also be part of the transaction. This is all clues.

“By the way, I will carefully search the area around this hill. If it is the second situation, it does not rule out the seven or eight core members after the incident is completed. , For the sake of confidentiality, it is possible to kill the vassals and collaborators. “

While speaking, Jiang Baiman mumbled as he walked to the entrance of the cave:

“You really are, why don’t you discuss it outside?” Isn’t it uncomfortable to bend over and kneel to talk here? “

Shang Jianyao is still a bit immersed in the impact of the slaughter of Black Rat Town. The leader of didn’t expect has basically returned to normal, at least on the surface, so I had to follow along.

After coming outside and telling Long Yuehong of the general situation, Shang Jianyao proactively asked:

“Group leader, what should we do next? In addition to searching the surrounding area to see if there are any traces of killing. “

Jiang Baiman looked back at the cave:

“This is a major event. Isn’t there an emergency signal on the car? Launch it to let the company know that something is wrong here, um, you have to go to a higher place, so that even if the company’s outer outposts are too far away, they will be seen by vassals in different places and send a telegram to notify them. “

“This will attract many wilderness wanderers, bandit groups, and relic hunters…” Bai Chen followed with a little worry and looked towards the entrance of Black Rat Town.

Jiang Baiman nodded gently:

” Yes . For those who want to store food for the winter, this is good meat. Wash it clean, marinate it, dry it, and it will be a good harvest. “

“Team leader, what you said is terrifying…” Long Yuehong couldn’t help taking a breath.

Jiang Baiman glanced at him:

“I said this deliberately, so that you and Shang Jianyao can get used to it as soon as possible, so that you don’t get a strong impact when you see a similar scene with your own eyes, and it will not be relieved for a while.

“Oh, on the earth, the probability of encountering similar things is not low.”

She didn’t say more about this, and thought about it:

“In this way, we will set off the flares at the top of the hill or hill next door to guide the relic hunters and wilderness wanderers in that direction.

“As for the company, there is only Black Rat Town in this area. As long as the collaborators do not exceed the corresponding range, no matter where the emergency signal flare is launched, they will only guide them to think immediately to Black Rat Town. “

While talking, Jiang Baiman looked towards Long Yuehong, who was wearing an external skeleton device:

“You look for larger stones around and move them all back , Block the entrance to the cave, yes, the spare passage must also be blocked. This not only prevents wild beasts from smelling and destroying the traces, but also prevents the ruin hunters and wilderness wanderers who search here from directly discovering the existence of the cave. Well, with the equipment they have, even if they find it, think It is also quite difficult to open the blocked hole, and the people in the company are very professional. “

Long Yuehong easily understood the group leader’s words, and began to look for a big rock that far exceeded the limit of the human body and must be moved by an external skeleton device.

After they got back to Heishu Town, Jiang Baiman, Shang Jianyao and others dealt with the blood stains while watching Long Yuehong, who covered the iron black metal skeleton, brought in the stones, first blocked the spare exit, and then sealed the cave entrance.

“Okay, let’s go back to the jeep and set off the signal flares elsewhere. Jiang Baiman stared at the pile of disguised stones for a few seconds, then turned away.

As soon as she got into the car, she stopped and said back:

“After releasing the flare, We will find a hidden place to camp in the vicinity.

“After that, before the people from the company came, we all had to stay here to prevent accidents and avoid damage to the scene. In addition, we happened to submit information about the ruins of the city and the monks’ order. “

Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen have no objection to this arrangement, and they think it is an inevitable development.

Compared to the small task of sending the filter chip of the water purifier which takes a few days or even half a month, the things here are obviously more important.

“It will take two or three days.” Jiang Baiman smiled slightly, “It just so happens that you can exercise your survivability in the wild.”

Without waiting for Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong to respond, She walked around to the driver’s seat, opened the car door, and sat in.

Ten minutes later, at the top of a hill further to the southwest, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong stood quietly on the side.

Jiang Baiman didn’t immediately use the grenade gun to fire the emergency signal flares carried by the “Old Tune Team”. Instead, he waited for a while and waited until the clouds drifted over, covering the sun, and the light became dim, before he activated it. The trigger.

With a bang, the red and dazzling rays of light exploded in the sky, like a bloodthirsty flower in full bloom.
