Chapter 147 The Temptation of Puppets(2/3)
But after looking at Levis and others, he could only nod.
"Well, let's apply for rescue."
Zion's mission is like this. Compared to Lighthouse who almost do whatever it takes to complete their mission, they care more about the lives of extraordinary people.
This task method is still very user-friendly.
But Xu Le is also thinking, if there is no experience in extreme environments, will the will of the extraordinary here be as strong and strong as in other places?
While Xu Le was meditating, Xu Lei had already raised his gun and shot.
Phew!~Bang!
The red signal flare flashed in the sky, and the bright and flashing signal stayed for a long time.
It can be seen from this maturely designed signal flare that the people of Zion are really good at calling for help.
"Then it's okay to wait here for the rest?"
"Yes."
Xu Le nodded and looked at Levis aside:
"Brother Li, the mission failed, do we lose a dime?"
"Life is like this, ups and downs, we have to get used to it."
It's terrible to miss a mission in vain, but it's better than getting into trouble yourself.
After Xu Lei fired the signal bomb, the only people who could see the signal bomb were them, the three mercenaries, and other unknown creatures.
The waiting time is always very long, Xu Le learned from Xu Lei and others.
This kind of rescue will usually arrive within one day to one and a half days.
The rescue team is usually very strong, and usually has level 4 warrior masters as a guarantee.
Xu Lexian was bored, so he simply leaned in front of a tree and dug up earthworms.
Although Li Qingcheng, who had been rejected by him several times in a row, was curious about his behavior, she didn't seem to dare to talk to Xu Le anymore because she was always asking for trouble.
On the other hand, cousin Xu Ting, who had no sense of distance from Xu Le at all, sat directly next to Xu Le and asked:
"Brother Xu Le, what are you doing?"
"Digging for earthworms! The earthworms here are big and fat. I think they will be useful."
“What are you doing digging for earthworms?”
"I have a very good friend who likes to eat earthworms, so every time I ask him for help, I prepare some for him.
Although he says he doesn’t like it every time, he always eats a lot. He is really a duplicitous guy.”
Mentioning Jin Chan, Xu Le's face showed a smile.
He got acquainted with Jin Chan earlier than Bai Jing and the others, and their relationship has become somewhat special.
It's not like a simple contract, but a bit like a friend.
"A friend who likes eating earthworms?"
"yes."
"Your friends' preferences are really unique. How about I help you dig them up?"
Xu Ting's proactive contact made Xu Le a little uncomfortable. He had never wanted to get too close to his relatives.
The main reason is that the original owner has lost too many memories of his past, and there are many things that he cannot explain or come into contact with.
"I'd better dig it myself."
"You're a warlock. This kind of physical work isn't really suitable for you. Look at my muscles, so I'll do it."
Xu Ting said, and also made a gesture of rolling up her sleeves, which was different from Levi's skinny look.
This guy Xu Ting... is really strong!
Xu Le estimated the woman's arm circumference, then looked at his own arms, and finally nodded.
"All right."
With Xu Ting's help, Xu Le dug up earthworms much faster.
And in the corner that he didn't see, Li Qingcheng silently dug out a small box for Xu Le.
She didn't give it to Xu Le because she was worried that Xu Le wouldn't want it, so she handed the earthworms to Xu Ting.
"Da Ting, give this... to him."
Xu Ting looked at Li Qingcheng, her expression became a little helpless, she took a small box of earthworms and said:
"Hey, Chengzi, you are really humble."
Since there was no good way to get out, everyone started a fire after it got dark.
The fire method here is actually a wrap-around bonfire, which made Xu Le couldn't help but question:
"Are all the fires you spend the night like this?"
Xu Le's question made other law enforcers a little surprised. Is there any additional explanation for something like a fire?
"This fire is big enough and bright enough. Is there anything wrong?"
Xu Le glanced at the fire and shook his head slightly:
"The fire is indeed very big and bright, but after doing so, the person's back is turned to the darkness, and we have no way to predict a monster's tolerance for light.
In order to protect our own safety, we'd better keep ourselves in the light, so I think a three-ring or four-ring fire is more reasonable."
What Xu Le said was the experience passed down from person to person in the Night Watch team.
Bai Jing and Wang Shu handed it over to him, and he spoke out in front of these people.
Xu Lei glanced at the others, but suddenly laughed with the other two law enforcers.
"Xu Le, the situation you are talking about is what mercenaries do, right? I know that mercenaries often do this.
But it’s actually not necessary. Law enforcement officers in Zion have night protective lights. If there is a fire in front of them and the lights behind them, wouldn’t that be enough?”
Xu Le nodded and said nothing more.
It is very stupid to try to change a person's inherent views. He felt that he was not a stupid person, so he simply stopped talking.
However, Xu Lei and the others didn't take it seriously, but Xu Ting didn't. She walked up to Xu Le and asked carefully:
"Brother Xu Le is angry with my brother?"
"No, no."
"The four-ring fire you just mentioned is what a lighthouse does, right? Doesn't a lighthouse use lights?
I remember that Zion exports a lot of protective lights to lighthouses every year."
Xu Le looked at Xu Ting. In terms of contact, Xu Ting was indeed closer than Xu Lei, and they all had some common knowledge, so he had nothing to keep.
"The lighthouse night watchman will carry three lights with him, a chest light, a headlight, and the protective light your brother mentioned."
"Since there is a light, why not use it?"
"One of the safety principles of a free man is not to let important things... become urgent."
“Don’t make important things urgent?”
"There is no breakthrough in Zion's energy technology right now. The lights can stay on for about 4 hours, but in absolute darkness.
It can maintain a brightness of more than 4, which can last for more than 2 hours at most.
Therefore, using natural fire is a very economical and effective thing.
Maybe you brought enough lighting incendiary liquid? Or maybe Zion has developed some method that I don't know about."
"No, no."
Although Xu Ting didn't know where Xu Le learned these things, she always felt that Xu Le's way of doing things in the wild was very informative and experienced.
This experience is somewhat different from hers.
I can’t tell the specific difference, but I feel that what Xu Le did makes sense.
"Then why don't you advise my brother? In fact, he..."
"It's not necessary, everyone will defend their point of view."
"Defend your point of view? What do you mean?"
"Just like you would argue about drawing lines and making paths, you feel like you're not wrong, that's your point of view, and your brother's point of view is that you made a mistake.
You two have different views, so you quarreled."
Xu Ting listened and nodded.
"Although what you said seems to make some sense, this kind of thing is not absolute, right? I think I am right?"
Xu Le:……
