Embers Ad Infinitum

　　Shang saw Yao and said, as if thinking:

　　 "Cruel, neat and clean, is this a premeditated revenge?"

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

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

　　"Not necessarily.

"It's also possible that the residents of Black Rat Town were exposed to the cave because of something, and the cave was discovered. Regardless of their identities, the weapons and ammunition they exchanged from the company, and the winter food they stocked, they are enough to attract Come with strong malice.

"The attackers probably never thought about disguising their identities and eliminating the traces at first, because possessing thermobaric bombs is a relatively obvious feature. Perhaps they discovered the wireless telegraph when the battle was over and searching for supplies. , I suspected that Black Rat Town had established a connection with a big power and became a vassal. Then, in order not to be retaliated, the battlefield was swept away in a hurry."

　　Bai Chen could not tell whether this incident was premeditated or accidental. He could only give some relatively obvious conclusions from his own perspective:

　　" Without considering motives, now I can barely confirm:

　　 "First, the attacker team has an order above the standard, otherwise it would be impossible to clean the battlefield so cleanly, leaving us with little clues. This basically ruled out the possibility that they were a temporary piece together by several bandit groups.

　　 "Second, the ability to have thermobaric bombs and individual combat weapons shows that the strength of the attacker team is also above the standard, and the reputation will not be too small."

　　 Seeing Shang Jian Yao seemed a little puzzled, Bai Chen added and explained:

　　"On the dust, there are few teams with hidden strengths. Only by fully demonstrating their strength can they deter followers and surrounding enemies and occupy sufficient resources.

"In this regard, perhaps only big powers and lone travelers, as well as a few people's teams, can be exceptions. However, most of the former were built with one shot and one bullet at the beginning, and they worked hard to build up, but the strength reached a certain level. After the level, they started some strategic concealment. As for the latter two, most of them did not hide their strength when fighting, but there were fewer witnesses and could be effectively controlled."

　　 Jiang Baimian gave a "um":

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

"The attackers must be at least twenty, no, thirty or more. Otherwise, the guards outside Black Rat Town will not be dealt with so cleanly, and it is impossible to let the towns in Black Rat Town shrink into the cave and not try to counterattack. , Only consider evacuation through alternate channels."

　　 Shang saw Yao and couldn't help but nod his head.

　　 This kind of reasoning seems so simple, but he didn't expect it just now:

　　 If the number of attackers is small, with the size of two or three hundred people in Heishu Town, plus the various weapons provided by "Pangu Creatures", even if the opponent is equipped with stronger equipment, it can be completely reversed.

"Yes." Bai Chen glanced at the area that was not illuminated by the flashlight. "From the gunshot marks on some of the corpses, the weapons of the attacker team are also relatively mixed, which can almost rule out the possibility of large forces. Of course, maybe attack. The purpose of replenishing their guns is to create such marks, but the big forces are not afraid of being retaliated at all and there is no need to do so.

　　 Shang Jian Yao gradually got used to this kind of discussion and started to join in:

　　 "You can also exclude the ‘slave hunting team’. For them, the most valuable thing is the population. It’s not in their style to slaughter the entire Black Rat Town."

"Yes, even the second person can mine, especially the townspeople in Black Rat Town, who are good at this. Even if they can't pass the psychological barrier, they can be afraid of being infected with diseases and distortion. The ordinary mine slaves are separated, formed separately, and remote weapons supervisors." Jiang Baimian said casually, not paying attention to any grammar.

　　 she immediately asked:

"do you have anything else?"

　　 Shang Jian Yao thought about it and said:

　　 "The attacker team may not really have more than 30 people. I mean the core members.

　　"They can completely entrap dozens of foreign vassals with seven or eight core members. Anyway, it seems that they are very powerful on the surface.

　　 "When the battle is over, the battlefield is cleaned up, and the traces are dealt with, the seven or eight core members will do their own hands or oversee the work, which can also achieve very good results."

　　 Jiang Baimian nodded with satisfaction:

　　"Does not rule out this possibility.

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

"In the first case, the number of human teams is more than thirty, they are not small, they act fiercely, have rich experience, and possess relatively powerful equipment such as thermobaric bombs and individual combat weapons. They do not belong to or are not attached to large forces. It is not too short of food.

　　 "In the second case, there are fewer than ten core members and a large number of vassals or cooperative teams."

　　 After summing up, Jiang Baimian's mouth turned up slightly, but he said without the slightest smile:

"In the first case, although there are a lot of similar teams on the dust, they are definitely not many. The ones located nearby and the ones that came nearby are even more countable. Just add more to the surrounding wilderness wanderers and relic hunters. Contact should be able to quickly screen out the main suspects, and then investigate them one by one.

"In the second case, there are vassals and cooperative teams, which means that many things cannot be truly kept secret. There are definitely more people than just talking. In addition, the materials harvested by those people will be traded in addition to their own use. Part of going out, these are all clues.

　　 "By the way, I will carefully search the area around this hill. If it is the second case, it is not ruled out that the seven or eight core members will kill the vassals and collaborators for confidentiality after the incident."

　　 While talking, Jiang Baimian 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 was still a little immersed in the impact of the slaughter in Black Rat Town. He did not expect that the group leader had basically returned to normal, at least on the surface, so he had to hurriedly followed.

　　 came outside and informed Long Yuehong of the general situation, Shang Jianyao asked:

　　 "Team leader, what do we do next? Except for searching the surrounding areas to see if there are signs of killing."

　　 Jiang Baimian looked back at the cave:

"This is a major incident. Isn't there an emergency signal flares on the car? It is launched 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 outposts are too far away, they will not be found. A vassal force in different places saw it and sent a telegram to notify it."

　　 "This will attract many wilderness wanderers, bandit groups, and relic hunters..." Bai Chen followed with a slightly worried look towards the entrance of Black Rat Town.

　　 Jiang Baimian nodded gently:

　　 "That's true. For those who want to store food for the winter, this is good meat. Wash it clean, marinate it, dry it, and dry it, and it will be a good harvest."

　　 "Team leader, what you said is terrible..." Long Yuehong couldn't help taking a breath.

　　 Jiang Baimian glanced at him:

　　 "I said this deliberately, in order to let you and Shang Jian Yao adapt as soon as possible, so as not to see similar scenes with your own eyes and get a strong impact, which will not be relieved for a while.

　　 "Oh, on the dust, the probability of encountering similar things is not low."

　　 She didn't say more about this aspect, and thought for a while:

　　"In this way, we set off the signal flare on the top of the hill or hill next door to lead the relic hunter and the wilderness wanderer in that direction.

　　 "As for the company, there is only one collaborator in Black Mouse Town in this area. As long as it does not exceed the corresponding range, no matter where the emergency signal flare is launched, it will only guide them to Black Mouse Town for the first time."

　　 While talking, Jiang Baimian looked at Long Yuehong who was wearing the exoskeleton device:

"You look for larger stones around, move them all back, and block the entrance to the cave. By the way, the spare passage must also be blocked. This will prevent wild animals from smelling and destroying traces. It is possible to prevent 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, it is quite difficult to open the blocked cave. People are very professional."

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

After returning the corpses from the outside to Black Rat Town, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others dealt with blood stains while watching Long Yuehong transporting stones covered with iron and black metal skeletons. They first blocked the spare exit and then sealed the cave entrance. .

　　 "Okay, let's go back to the jeep and set off the signal flare elsewhere." Jiang Baimian stared at the pile of disguised stones for a few seconds before turning away.

When 　　 was about to get into the car, she stopped and said:

　　 "After setting off the signal flares, we found a hidden place nearby to camp.

　　 "After that, before the people from the company came, we had to stay here to prevent accidents and avoid destruction of 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 believe that this is an inevitable development.

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

　　 "It will take about two or three days." Jiang Baimian smiled slightly, "It just so happens that you can exercise your ability to survive in the wild."

　　 Before Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong could respond, she walked around to the driver's seat, opened the car door, and sat in.

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

　　 Jiang Baimian didn't immediately use the grenade gun to fire the emergency flare 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 pulling the trigger.

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