Chapter 114 Crisis Is Coming (1144)
At dusk.
The world has changed.
The whole desert has become desolate and cold, no longer as hot as during the day. When the wind blows, it can not only put sand in people's mouths, but also make people shiver with cold.
There is no way to light a fire. It is also difficult to make a fire in the desert.
Everyone can only wrap their clothes or cloaks tightly and try to survive the cold.
As the bright sun sets, the difficulty of investigation increases. When the thermal imaging device looks into the Gobi Desert, no ghosts can be seen. It is so quiet that it doesn't seem like a place for people to stay.
It's very boring.
But Kashiwagi enjoys this boredom and boredom very much. Compared with fighting with others, the withered and yellow weeds are so tender and lovely, and the mountains in the distance have become majestic.
What's more, you can hear the crisp sound of the soothing bell.
"Dinglingling~Dinglingling~"
As the big mouth baby and other Pokémon play around, the relaxing bell sound spreads to everyone's ears.
"Kashiwagi, will someone really come? I don't think it's likely."
Bored, Otsuka held up a telescope, his voice changed from the initial passion to the current fatigue. Investigation work really tests people's patience.
Kashiwagi said: "No one can say for sure. It is possible that the No. 2 mine has been unsuccessful for a long time, so they came here to take a different approach; it is also possible that other forces disguised as the Vicious Dog Team."
"Other forces?"
"Well, you don't think that our Quicksand Team has only the Vicious Dog Team as an enemy, do you? It is also possible that other forces broke in and took advantage of the situation. They just need to kill everyone here and pretend that it was done by the Vicious Dog Team."
"Fuck... No way."
"Why not? Putting aside personal grudges, I don't think other forces want the Quicksand Team to continue to grow. Everyone is It is normal to be afraid that the Quicksand Team will attack them after they advance to a higher level. "
"Now that you mention it, it seems that it is better not to rob this mine."
"It is easy to conquer a kingdom but difficult to defend it. Moreover, there are enemies all around, and the top cadres are probably in a difficult situation. The leader of the Vicious Dog Team has been arrested. Whether a new leader is elected internally or a new leader is parachuted in, it will have an impact on us as neighbors. So instead of sitting back and watching, it is better to take the initiative to fight for a road to success."
After Kashiwagi said this, the other four people present looked at him with admiration.
"Is this the power of knowledge? You know a lot!"
Otsuka was very emotional. He has been in literacy classes for a while. He feels like he is in prison every day and thinks about the meaning of learning to read from time to time.
But seeing Kashiwagi's wise appearance, he yearned for learning again.
The other four people were the same.
"I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously." Kashiwagi laughed dumbly. He just casually expressed his personal point of view, which was not counted at all.
Maybe other forces are not so forward-looking? Maybe the top cadres just want to beat the dog when it's down?
There are too many possibilities.
"Okay, we have to move to another location, stop for a while."
Kashiwagi clapped his hands and called the big mouth baby who was making a fuss with a group of Pokémon.
This guy seemed to be playing some big sister game, commanding Otsuka's Pokémon to do this and that, having a lot of fun, and didn't want to stop for a while.
"Tsk!"
"Now is not the time to play, you can play whatever you want after the matter is over."
He persuaded, and the big mouth baby gave up and jumped into the car pocket on his own initiative.
Kashiwagi turned on the walkie-talkie and contacted the peripheral members in other places. Usually, he contacted every ten minutes if there was no problem to ensure that there was no problem.
But he was too worried and forced the peripheral members to contact every five minutes.
After all, ten minutes of silence can do a lot of things, and five minutes is relatively short.
"Region 2 received, start moving."
"Region 3 received, start moving."
"Region 4 received, start moving."
"Region 5..."
"Wait." Kashiwagi suddenly stopped, "Region 4, what's wrong with your voice?"
"...I accidentally ate sand, cough cough cough, sorry captain."
"Okay, continue reporting."
"Region 5 received, start moving."
In addition to Kashiwagi's ten regions in a row, each region is responsible for a different direction, and they slowly moved under his command.
He exhaled a turbid breath, looked at his teammates waiting beside him, and said complicatedly: "Something happened."
Otsuka and others' faces suddenly froze.
"What, what?"
"The people in region 4 have been replaced. I observed that there is no wind over there, and I should be able to hear the buzzing of the drone, but I didn't hear it just now."
Kashiwagi sighed, and hurriedly used headphones to contact the mine, but only the sound of the electric current came from inside.
We had contacted the mine just a few minutes ago, but now we can't get in touch with them.
This proves that someone has used some means to cut off the mine's external communication, just like they raided the Dog Team's mine before and cut off their communication.
It is almost certain that Area 4 has been infiltrated by the enemy.
They didn't even reveal any warning means, and even attacked the mine in such a short time, which shows how powerful the attacker is. Such a quiet approach is even more terrifying.
He suddenly felt fortunate that he didn't disperse his men. This amount of reconnaissance force is not enough for them to fill in the gaps.
I hope the mine has already discovered it.
He glanced at his phone——
Sure enough, there is no signal.
"Go back! Go back to the mine!"
Kashiwagi said to the other four people: "It is possible that the other party intends to hunt us scouts. We must join the main force as soon as possible."
Staying with the main force can increase the survival rate.
Of course, this is only one reason.
Another reason is that he still has four team members in the mine. He is unwilling to escape back to Huangtie Town without going back to take a look.
Besides, with Ayana in charge of the mine, the sneak attacker may not be able to succeed completely. There is no need to say bad things without seeing the situation clearly.
"Yes!"
Otsuka and others responded in unison.
——
Mine No. 1.
Just as Kashiwagi thought, the means of communication with the outside world have been intercepted.
The sneak attack team sent by the evil dog team was like someone leading it. It smoothly broke through the defense line that Kashiwagi knew or didn't know, and arrived outside the mine.
Although they wanted to carry out the sneak attack to the end, they were still noticed by the alert Quicksand team members.
The moment the alarm sounded inside the mine, three cadres and two hundred evil dog team members launched an attack on the mine. Although it was not as perfect as Liuge's command, it really caught the remaining people off guard.
The defense line of the main gate was breached, and countless evil dog team members poured into the mine, starting to destroy everything indiscriminately and attacking all people related to the Quicksand team members.
"Smash it all! Smash it all!"
A cadre yelled, commanding his wolfhound and Hound to destroy those expensive large machines.
"You are looking for death!"
The roar came from a small building, followed by a thick water column that broke through the air and directly rushed the cadre's Hound out!
"Raid!"
The cadre waved his hand and shouted, and the wolfhound beside him immediately rushed in the direction of the water column, but suddenly turned around when he was halfway forward, and a giant water-blue toad broke out of the ground where he stood!
The wolfhound suddenly stretched out its claws, but collided with the shaking arm of the Toad King.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
The two Pokémon retreated separately.
Ayana walked out of the small building with anger, followed by an exceptionally tall Swamp King.
But before she could say anything, another person came out of the smoke on the left.
"Hey, isn't this Lady Ayana? What a coincidence. My useless brother really troubled you so much. This time I came to collect the interest."
The black-faced man who was three points similar to the black-faced man who led the charity conference before laughed.
"You talk too much nonsense."
Although she was about to be besieged by two people, Ayana was not panicked, and her expression became more calm.
Unfortunately, the cadre who attacked first did not seem to intend to participate in the battle, and said to the black-faced man: "Leave it to you, is it okay?"
"No problem, you see!"
The black-faced man threw the Poké Ball and rushed towards Ayana.
Another person was ready to leave, commanding his men to continue the sweep.
"You wish!"
Ayana quickly asked the Swamp King to use a water cannon to block the cadre's way.
For a while.
The scene became more chaotic.
