Chapter 52: Chasing on the River

After Emerson got involved with Naughty Fu, it was finally confirmed that he was safe. Fang Linlei and others received the reminder from the nightmare mark:

"Space scan results: Scientist Emerson's vital signs are normal, his mood is stable, and he is in a non-combat state."

"The A-level optional follow-up mission "sealed" is completed. The conditions for opening the follow-up optional mission are met."

"The B-level optional follow-up mission "Escort" is started to safely escort Emerson back to the stronghold controlled by the government forces."

After Miss Lin got the Jianzhen painting, the task prompt did not continue to open. It seemed that she had to study the task items carefully. At this time, time was urgent, so she could only postpone the matter.

Emerson and Wuxianfu were in an unprecedented opportunistic relationship. After they got together, they muttered furtively for a while, and then smiled brightly while holding hands. It looks like they will be talking about marriage soon... That's wrong, they are chopping off chicken heads and burning yellow paper to worship their brothers.

Fang Lin commanded the Scarab, whose mother insect had lost much of its vitality, and quickly rushed to intercept Aluf's return troops. According to the information obtained by Fang Lin, Aluf's direct troops include a group of very powerful modified camel cavalry. These camels are protected by a layer of invisible electromagnetic armor, which can only be effective when attacking the knights above. The camels are also equipped with a 45mm H-type machine gun, which has powerful firepower. If they encounter it head-on in the desert, , it’s really quite tricky.

Fang Lin saw the opportunity and grabbed the ear of Xie Fu who was just as excited as meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the rain after a long drought, or the client meeting a prostitute, and said lightly:

"Get ready to get on the boat. Let's take the waterway and go down the river. I have another task for you."

Wuxiaofu's face turned bitter when he heard the word "mission". He seemed to be ready to work as a foreigner. Fang Lin smiled slightly and said:

"If you finish well, there will be a bonus."

"How much is the bonus?" Xiao Fu blinked and asked cautiously.

Fang Lin knew that all of this poor guy's wealth was controlled by Meimei, so it was natural for him to be greedy for money, so he whispered:

"You know that my weapon is broken, right? Help me find out whether this guy Emerson knows about this. This guy is said to be an expert in studying the human body's potential. He has passed the test on his own body. The experiment can make the body automatically gather energy and then release it. See if you can get some information."

Fang Lin glanced at the poor Fu standing with his hands down, snapped his fingers and said:

"If the same piece of information is discovered, I will reward you with 3,000 points. Well, if both pieces of information are discovered, then I will reward you with 10,000 points. How about that?"

Wuxiao Fu immediately became energetic as if he had taken drugs:

"Master, please leave the task to me! I promise to complete the task!"

Fang Lin waved his hand, strode to Lei Zhe's side and said:

"The helicopter we took when we came here ran out of fuel. If we had to compete with Aluf's guards in running away in the desert, there would be no way we could get rid of them. And these people were destroyed with their homes. The destructive momentum is coming, and it is the fearless Wei soldiers. If they face the enemy head-on... I am afraid that even if they win, the losses will be heavy. "

Lei Zhe actually admired Fang Lin's judgment in his heart. However, he also had his own dignity and frowned:

"If you run away without a fight, aren't you afraid of being chased by these guys? If you don't beat these guys, how can you escape safely?"

Fang Lin smiled and said:

"Just go down the river. Even though these desert bandits are coming and going in the desert like the wind, but when it comes to controlling the boat, the gap between us and them is not obvious. More importantly, we can first Do some tricks on the boat...someone who can get on the boat and chase us . He must be one of Aruf's elites. Hehe, after killing the pursuers, he just took advantage of the darkness to drift down and land before dawn. Without anyone noticing, even if there is a rebel reconnaissance plane in the sky, you The two of us will work together to destroy it. Who can trace our whereabouts?"

Lei Zhe also felt that Fang Lin's proposal made sense and was actually the best method he could think of at the moment. But he was noncommittal and snorted. He turned around and left, heading towards the Changhe Pier in the Grand Canyon. Fang Lin smiled slightly and walked towards the dock.

At this time, Aluf's elite camel soldiers were only five or six kilometers away from them. They dragged out billowing smoke on the desert and rushed over with red eyes.

Homes were destroyed and relatives died tragically. This is where the hatred of the country and the family come together. Therefore, this group of elite guards from Aluf, whose eyes were red with hatred, did not notice. Under the rolling yellow sand, in the dense twilight. There is a looming little black beetle crawling and advancing quickly!

There was a slight sound of "plop, plop", and the terrifying scarabs jumped out from the sand, biting the camels' fur with their sharp mouthparts, and got into the flesh and blood of these well-trained war camels. As more than a dozen riders in front were knocked down, the fighting camel team behind realized something was wrong and immediately turned on the electromagnetic protection shield to tightly protect the entire camel! After the scarab pounced out, it was bounced off and could not invade the camel's body at all.

Although this electromagnetic shield has a very high defense, it can also cause considerable damage to the body. After the camel is protected by the shield, the side effect is that it can only live for about two years and lose its fertility, which is even more harmful to humans. Camel riders certainly don't want to be so short-lived, so they can still be attacked. However, even so, with the camel with the shield turned on as a shield, the scarab's attack lost most of its effect until the mother insect's vitality was exhausted, and at best it only killed more than ten elite camel soldiers.

Fang Lin and his party had already boarded the sailboat in the long river flowing through the Great Rift Valley. The ships here have a typical Arabic style, called Kapan ships, with wide white sails in a triangular shape. They are installed on a long beam. The long mast is hung obliquely on a short mast and can rotate freely until it forms a line with the axis of the hull. The sail can adapt to the changes in wind direction and can change course in narrow waters. The patterns on the long bend of the ship are very exquisite.

The speed at which Arufu's pursuers came really caught Fang Lin and others off guard. They never expected that the armed camel soldiers were so strong, almost like a flexible tank! Therefore, the work of burying bombs on the ship was not done properly, and they hurriedly set sail.

As the saying goes, enemies are jealous of each other. Of course, Arufu's vanguard troops would not let Fang Lin and his gang of "murderers" go easily. They used the H-type machine guns on the camels to shoot wildly. After finding that it had no effect, they immediately boarded the ship and chased after them. This river in the canyon is a typical broken tail river. In the middle reaches, the water volume and river width are the largest, but in the lower reaches, it becomes smaller and disappears. Although its river surface is very wide at this time, the deepest part of the river is only about half a meter, so the draft of the ship is very shallow, and the relative speed of the water flow is not fast.

Fortunately, it was dusk at this time, the temperature in the desert dropped rapidly, and the cool breeze was blowing. The triangular sails on the boats were full of wind, so Fang Lin and his people went downstream and the boat was very fast. However, the elite guards of Aluf in the rear were also chasing closely, and it seemed that they were determined to pursue them to the end of the world. When the river in front narrowed, Fang Lin took advantage of the moment when the enemies gathered in the rear to suddenly detonate the bombs on the boat in the rear. After a series of muffled sounds, fireworks filled the air, white mist rose, and the broken wooden masts of the boat flew out, almost covering half of the river!

The Thunderer took this opportunity to send a dazzling lightning from the sky, twisting and winding with amazing power! Although it was not as powerful as his title skill, the Destiny Thunder Arrow, it was also extraordinary! After this electricity hit the water surface, the current dispersed into dozens of light blue electric snakes, which made the rebels who fell into the water within a radius of dozens of meters twitch all over and lose consciousness.

If it was on flat ground, this coma would be fine, but in this turbulent river, coma is almost equivalent to drowning! Even if some of them were not electrocuted, you have to know that these sand bandits live in the desert. After all, only a few of them were born in this canyon and river. Even if they can swim, they are not very proficient. Once they are stimulated by the electric current, even if they are not dizzy, their hands and feet will be paralyzed. They cannot stand steadily in the turbulent river, and they are in danger if they choke on two mouthfuls of water!

But just when everyone was relieved, three Arab sailboats suddenly rushed out of the mist and smoke, with flames flashing on them. Lao Hu had sensitively blocked Fang Lin in front of him. Four long tongues of fire spit out from the sailboat, splashing water and wood chips around Fang Lin and his friends, and sparks were also flying on the shield. A closer look showed that the rebels had also brought the combat camels onto the boat!

What's more fatal is that the three ships had not had time to install bombs, because this combat camel team came too fast and its defense was ridiculously high. Therefore, Fang Lin also miscalculated the time when the scarab should stop them. So in a hurry, there was no time to bury bombs on the boat. I didn't expect it to be so tricky at this time. Once the mainmast is broken, the speed of the ship will be greatly affected. Being chased from behind like this, the situation is really passive!
