my stealth fighter

Chapter 352
The giant bear's huge body was taller than ordinary small trees, and it was still faintly visible until everyone walked a long way.

Ron wiped off the cold sweat from being scared by the giant bear, and continued to lead the way with Gavin, looking for the marks left by No. 33 and Catherine.

Arabella's process of using words to influence the giant bear is no different from a miracle. If it were placed in ancient times, it would definitely be worshiped by all peoples and can be consecrated immediately. However, Ron still thinks that she is a bit reckless, including the attitude of other children trying to fight the giant bear. He felt that these children did not understand the horror of giant bears. Ordinary black bears are the overlords of one party. The giant bear just now must be the king of this forest. Even if there are more powerful creatures in this forest, the number is not large. would be too much.

In short, this time he saved his life, and he didn't want to meet a more powerful guy, because a stronger guy might not be able to influence him.

The forest is not full of flat trees, there are rocks, troughs, and hills. No. 33 and Catherine are not walking in a straight line. Sometimes they will take a detour, even where they should not need to detour. I can only speculate that they encountered a situation where they had to make a detour.

As he walked, Gavin suddenly sniffed and tilted his head in doubt to stare in a certain direction.

"What's the matter, old man?"

Ron was familiar with Gavin's movements and demeanor. Usually, it found some abnormality that would not bring immediate danger, and it was hesitant to report it to the owner.

Gavin circled his legs, and looked there again.

The forest was so dense that Ron couldn't see anything over there.

Jiang Chanji and the others also caught up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know. There may be something wrong over there. I'll climb up the tree to have a look." Ron shook off his luggage and started to climb the tree.

"I don't need you..." Jiang Chanji pulled him back.

"I go!"

Impatiently, Mio jumped onto the horizontal branches, flexibly climbed and leaped among the branches, and quickly disappeared into the canopy.

Ten seconds later, she jumped down from the tree again. There was still a distance of about ten meters from the ground, and she jumped down. When she landed, her knees were bent to cushion, and there was almost no sound.

"It's on fire! It's on fire over there!" Mio yelled.

"Is it on fire? How big is the fire? Say it clearly, don't always be surprised." Jiang Chanji said.

Mio was stopped by asking, "Uh...I didn't see the fire."

"Then you said it was on fire?" He was speechless.

"There is smoke! A column of smoke floats upwards obliquely." Mio gestured.

There is a column of smoke rising, it should indeed be on fire.

"Is it ignited by the falling wreckage?" Qianyang said.

"Probably not."

Everyone disagrees, because two or three days have passed since the air crash, and the wreckage would have caught fire long ago. Why wait until now to catch fire?
If it is said that the wreckage caught fire after it fell and has been burning until now, the possibility of this situation is not very high, because it rained yesterday, and if the fire had been burning for two or three days, it would have spread into a wildfire and attracted the attention of officials. The attention of the rescue team.

"Is there a helicopter near the smoke column?" Jiang Chanji asked again.

Mio put his hips on his hips and shook his head back and forth, "Of course I didn't say so, of course there aren't any. What's the point of asking?"

The possibility of a fire on the wreckage cannot be completely ruled out, and it is also less likely that yesterday's lightning struck the wreckage's fuel tank or engine and caused the fire.

The greater possibility is that someone did not completely extinguish the fire after cooking in the forest, and the fire rekindled, igniting the surrounding bushes and trees. This is Ron's professional opinion.

Everyone saw cans and ashes left by someone before, so everyone accepted Ron's statement more.

The direction of the latest mark on No. 33 is different from the direction in which the smoke column rises, so the smoke column probably has nothing to do with No. 33, and she is not such a careless person, so the choice before everyone is whether to go to the smoke column to check ?
Everyone discussed for a few minutes, and the final result was that everyone unanimously decided not to make extravagance, but to contact the outpost camp through satellite phones or radios, so that the helicopter pilots who stayed there could get in touch with the official rescue team. Forest fire incidents are handled by officials.

If the fire shows signs of spreading further, in order to avoid the formation of a prairie fire, let the helicopter come over, carry Aurora to the fire scene, and use ice crystals to suppress the fire-this is the worst strategy, because Aurora does not know whether there are people or people in the forest below. For rare animals, the best policy is to send propeller planes to spread flame retardants.

After everyone discussed it, the whole team continued to move forward. Aurora was about to get in touch with the outpost camp when the satellite phone rang first.

"Miss Aurora, this is the camp, there is something I need to report to you."

"What's the matter?" Aurora turned on the speakerphone for everyone to hear.

"Since you entered the forest, the family has called in a low-orbit satellite to fly over the forest periodically. Just now, the satellite's infrared sensor camera took a suspicious photo, and now I will send it to you."

Aurora stared down at the phone, waiting for the picture to be sent.

Jiang Chanji was speechless for a while, and even deliberately adjusted the orbit of a low-orbit satellite to ensure the safety of Aurora, just like ordinary people driving their children to school because the bus is out of service today...

The data transmission of the satellite phone was very slow, and it took nearly a minute to download the photo.

Unprocessed infrared photos are black, white and gray. The high heat area is white, the low heat area is black, and the gray is the transition area.

The camp explained: "The photo shows that a forest is on fire a few kilometers away from you, which is the brightest circular area in the photo, and it is difficult to explain that a series of small fires spread from the main fire point, like It looked like someone was running and setting fire all the way.”

Aurora observed the photo carefully. The forest and mountain ridges were shown in darker gray, occupying most of the photo, and there were patches of irregular white spots, which were clouds floating in the sky.

In the black-gray forest, a location is marked with an arrow, which is a round white spot extending a gray-white solid line trail, which is a smoke column floating into the air, and on one side of this white spot, every At varying distances, there will be a miniature white dot, and this string of miniature white dots forms an intermittent dotted line trajectory, extending in a certain direction.

If each tiny white dot represented a tiny fire, then, as the camp explained, someone seemed to be running and setting fires.

Who is taking revenge on society?
The camp stayers couldn't figure it out, and neither could Aurora. She explained the situation to everyone, and everyone couldn't figure it out even more. Who would risk their lives to enter the depths of the forest and set fire on purpose?

These tiny fire points may not necessarily spread into a fire, or they may burn and extinguish themselves, but they are a threat after all. If a forest fire is ignited, people and animals in the entire forest may face survival crises.

"Could someone deliberately set fire to destroy key evidence of the crash?" Aurora said.

That possibility couldn't be ruled out, but setting an entire forest on fire to obliterate the evidence would be too... indescribable.

"It's not like arson." Jiang Chanji said, "If it's intentional arson, it's better to burn more than one place."

The current location of everyone is also marked on the photo, which is probably the data obtained through satellite phone positioning.

If the dotted line composed of tiny white dots does not change its existing direction and continues to extend, it will pass not far from them.

Just now everyone thought that it was unnecessary to go several kilometers away to check the smoke column, but now it is different, only by changing the route slightly, you can meet the suspected forest arsonist and see what he or she is up to.

Aurora asked again, but there was no more information, because the low-orbit satellite circled the earth every two hours, and now it has flown over the forest, and it will take two hours to fly over the forest and take pictures next time .

Everyone agreed to temporarily change the itinerary to intercept the forest arsonist.

According to the compass, map and photos, they went to ambush in front of the extension route of the miniature white dot.

However, a thin line with a width of less than 1 mm in the satellite photos may cover a distance of tens of meters or hundreds of meters in the real forest. Besides, the suspected arsonist did not run in a precise straight line, so everyone cannot gather together Sitting on the sidelines together must be spread out within a distance of hundreds of meters, so as to ensure that the target will not be missed.

In the forest, not to mention hundreds of meters, you may not be able to see each other more than ten meters away. Fortunately, everyone has a walkie-talkie, and it is agreed to contact other people after seeing the target.

……

scoff-

Ouyang Caiyue's clothes were torn by her companion, she was about to be caught by her companion, she could even feel her companion's hot fingers.

With such hot fingers, the companion seems to have a high fever, and the body temperature is estimated to be above 40 degrees, but I have never seen a patient with a high fever who can run faster than a rabbit.

"Ho-ho-"

The heavy panting of his companion seemed to ring behind his ears.

Ouyang Caiyue didn't dare to turn her head, she was afraid that she would trip over the branches under her feet, and that she would never be able to run again once she turned her head.

She is really out of ammunition and food now, not only the thermite pine cones, but also the ordinary pine cones, and there is nothing to delay the hunting of her companions.

She felt a little regretful, not that she should have thrown away the baby, but that she had known this before, so she might as well not run away, stay where she was and have a quick fight, maybe she could win?
She also regretted throwing away the dagger. If she turned into that kind of monster with neither human nor ghost, she would rather take her own life.

She was afraid of something, it was just such a slight distraction, the toe of her shoe stepped into the grass nest, and when she raised her leg again, her body lost her balance.

She would not have fallen, she could have rolled forward, stood up and continued to run, but just when she wanted to do a forward roll, she suddenly thought of the baby on her back, if she did a forward roll, the already weak baby said He might be directly crushed to death by her.

So, she abruptly chose to land on her shoulders.

With a click, the inertia of the high-speed rush dislocated one of her shoulder joints.

She rolled her eyes in pain, but at the moment of life and death, let alone a dislocated arm, even if it was broken, she had to find a way to save her life.

The moment she landed on the ground, the five fingers of her other hand stuck into the soil, grabbed a handful of soil and lifted it upwards, spreading it on the face of her companion who was rushing towards her—she had already connected the lime powder to the ground. All the cheap tricks of eye-catching were used.

Taking advantage of her companion's temporary blindness, she gritted her teeth, got up and continued running.

However, with a dislocated arm, she is already at the end of her strength. She can't run 100 meters at most, and she will be overtaken by her companions who wiped the mud off her face.

"Help!"

"Anyone? Help me!"

In desperation, she knew that calling for help in the wild forest was useless, so she could only call for help loudly.

After shouting, she didn't expect anyone to respond, she took off her backpack from behind while running, aimed at a bush in front of her, and was about to throw the backpack and the baby there.

As a last resort, she threw the baby into the bushes and ran to the other side to lure her companion away.

She knew that her fate would either be a delicious meal or a bloodthirsty monster, and the baby's fate would not be much better. If she couldn't escape, the baby would probably become the food of the beast, but what else? how?

The moment she raised her hand and was about to throw it, there was a thud of the bowstring.

Oh——

A very thin and sharp whistle sounded, like a needle piercing her eardrum.

All the life-and-death moments she had experienced suddenly appeared in her mind, and in the images that emerged, she did not escape from death as in reality, but was eaten by wild beasts and dismembered by the enemy, in a state of extreme death awful.

The screaming sound aroused the nightmare and fear in her heart. In her life of running for money, she has always been afraid of overturning the car, but how can she not get her shoes wet when she often walks by the river?It would be a matter of time before the car overturned, and some seniors she knew before disappeared silently like this, dying in some ghostly place.

At the moment when she was in a trance, a sharp arrow came towards her. She clearly saw the sharp arrow, but her body froze due to trembling and extreme fatigue, and she couldn't dodge it at all.

The sharp arrow missed her, almost grazing her body and flying behind her, nailing into the soil in front of her companion.

"Stop! Don't move!"

Jiang Chanji jumped down from the branches of the tree, holding the Screaming Bone Bow.

He wanted to pretend to be handsome, but unexpectedly, this sharp arrow did not have any deterrent effect at all. The companion seemed to have neither seen the sharp arrow nor heard the scream, so while Ouyang Caiyue stopped, he jumped With a pounce, he bit the back of her neck.

At this time, Ouyang Caiyue had no ability to dodge or resist, she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Jiang Chanji was very embarrassed, but fortunately he had already hitched the second arrow in advance, and drew the bow again to release the arrow.

He recognized Ouyang Caiyue, although he didn't know the situation, why they were chasing each other, and who was the one who set the fire along the way, but no matter what, the party who tried to protect the baby was worthy of his protection.

The scream sounded again, and the arrow accurately hit the companion's shoulder.
