American Celestial Master

Chapter 76, Hunting

On the morning of the third day, Fidel and the others returned to Lin Qiusheng's place.Fidel brought his mother. In fact, Fidel also has a father and a younger brother, but his father and younger brother are not in the United States, they are still in Brazil.Fidel is already in touch with them, hoping to bring them to the US:
"In any case, the US is still safer than Brazil. I actually wanted them to come to the US for a long time. But they couldn't bear to stay away from the Itagera Stadium - they are both reasonable in most things, but When it comes to football, it’s a completely different story, and many Brazilians are like that. It’s understandable, after all, football is almost the only thing Brazilians can be proud of.”

Victor's father passed away early, and this time he brought his mother, a younger brother and a younger sister.They are still at the age of studying, as for their academic performance, let's not mention it.

Annie has a younger brother who is also studying. It is said that his academic performance has improved a lot recently.But the little brother always looked at his sister with a little fear in his eyes.

There was only Grant, who had no relatives, or so many that he couldn't bring them all.For example, his mother's brother, and the children of his mother's sister.

At this time, Mr. Brown has helped them rent four small houses nearby as their temporary residence.And the size and decor of those not-too-large homes thrilled the loved ones they brought with them.Victor's sister asked Victor more than once: "Is this true? Can you afford the rent and property tax of this house?"

By the time they settled everything, it was already afternoon.Everyone went to Lin Qiusheng's place for a meeting.Discuss next steps.

"Have you made all the arrangements?" Lin Qiusheng asked.

"Except for people, we don't have anything to arrange." Fidel replied.

"Okay, then let's officially start today's topic. We need to come up with something as soon as possible, and finally within a day or two. Ah Feng, call up the map."

Zhang Feng opened Google Maps on the projector.Lin Qiusheng briefly introduced some information about the Jersey Devil.Then he said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the monster that threatens our side the most is the Jersey devil. The Jersey devil is more active at night, but people have witnessed them more than once during the day. The National Guard relies on heavy firepower to fight against them." Killed a few, well, here are the pictures, killed with a 25mm machine gun. Based on various information, I preliminarily deduce that this thing is immune to most firearms. No one has successfully captured a live Jersey yet demon.

Based on their ability to act and the area where various events occurred, we can infer that their lair should be roughly in this area. What's more interesting is that there is no place suitable for hiding in this area. You see This generation is basically farmland, grassland, and roads, with only a few groves, and these groves certainly cannot hide so many Jersey devils. So, where do you think these Jersey devils might hide? "

Fidel thought for a while and said: "Lin, I remember you told us about the concept of ghost domain. It is the lowest level in the space that is independent of our world but has a certain connection. Although it is the lowest level Wait, but in essence, it is the same as the more advanced Dongtian and Shenguo. If there is a ghost domain in this area, and this ghost domain has been able to open channels and connect to the real world relatively stably, then this problem is Makes sense."

Everyone nodded together.Annie continued: "Generally speaking, in any ghost domain, there is often a ghost king. Considering what we saw in the feathered snake god's kingdom, I think the situation of the ghost domain is probably not very good. This can also explain why Jersey devils have launched such a large-scale attack. They are now extremely hungry and need blood to eat, especially people."

"However, according to the chart, the number of attacks has dropped significantly during this period. Of course, this is entirely possible because everyone has become more prepared, so the success rate of their attacks has dropped. But we look at this statistics, according to this According to statistics, the number of attacks has decreased. Why is this?" Victor asked, raising his eyes to look at Lin Qiusheng.

"There is an explanation, that is, they are temporarily full and need to digest." Lin Qiusheng said, "Ghosts are also consumed when hiding in the ghost domain. In order to deal with this situation, they may enter a dormant state, and even let the Parts of the body degenerate or wither, and if they reach such a point, their recovery will not be accomplished overnight. They may need to eat for a while, digest for a while, and then eat for a while. Judging from the current curve, this The period of feeding may be coming to an end, as for how long it will take for these monsters to complete their metamorphosis and enter the state of frantic predatory again, I don’t know the lack of experimental data to support it.”

"Lin, do you think we can go directly to the ghost domain before they fully recover, kill the ghost king, and solve the whole problem with one guy?" Grant suddenly said.Then he found that everyone was looking at him like an idiot.

"Ah, did I say something wrong?" said Grant.

"How much do you know about the ghost king there?" Annie asked.

Grant rubbed his head.

"Never take risks without being prepared. This is our principle." Victor glanced at him and said, "Why did we reject the FBI's solicitation in the first place? Is it just because they gave too little money? Isn't the reason why we say no is that they will force us to do risky things when we don't know the opponent and don't prepare? Now there are no FBI guys to force, but you want to force yourself To do this kind of thing by yourself?"

"Ah, I'm confused. I'm just a little worried that the ghost king will grow stronger in the future, and we won't be able to deal with it." Grant said, "But think about it carefully, what will happen to this matter in the future, can we only rely on us to stand up to it? "

"Even if we really want to move it, we need to know enough about it first. Capturing a few samples is currently the best way to understand Ghost Domain and Ghost King." Lin Qiusheng said, "Now let's take a look, what should we do?" How to do..."

Early the next morning, Lin Qiusheng and others drove a car south along Highway 95 towards Trenton.Route 95, which is usually very busy, is quite empty now, because the Jersey Devil has attacked passing vehicles more than once on the road.

When they were on the highway, Lin Qiusheng and the others encountered several armored vehicles of the National Guard, all of which were equipped with 25mm Viper cannons.The state government has warned everyone not to go out easily, but Route 95 has not been closed. If you are stubborn, you are not afraid of death, and that is your freedom.

I passed several gas stations on the road, but none of them were empty, and one gas station had obvious signs of being attacked.A little further away, a helicopter crashed there, and three letters were legible on the tailboom of the helicopter: "CBS."

"Journalism is really a high-risk occupation." Fidel couldn't help sighing.

"We have now entered an area with a high incidence of attacks, everyone should pay attention." Lin Qiusheng said.

Most of the attacks took place at night, and between [-]:[-] am and [-]:[-] pm there were only sightings, not attacks.But it's always good to be careful.

Soon everyone arrived at the first key location. Several people got out of the car and found a big tree. Fidel climbed up a few times and placed a detector powered by a lithium battery on it.

Everyone then headed to several other places. After a whole day of work like this, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, the detectors in several locations were all placed.

After placing these detectors, several people continued to drive forward, entered the city of Trenton, and found a hotel in the city to stay.

Trenton had just been attacked, but it was not easy to find a hotel that was still open. It took a few people a little time to find a hotel that was about to close.Although this restaurant is still open, it has special rules.The shop owner told Lin Qiusheng that they said:

"I don't know why you are still here now. But in order to save your lives, let me remind you of a few points.

Number one, don't use any lighting!Do not use any lighting equipment!Do not use any lighting equipment!have you understood?After four o'clock, we will turn off all the electricity.Do not use anything that emits light yourselves.

Our house is very strong, the walls are strong enough to keep out that kind of monster, the windows I strengthened with steel rods and planks, but I am not sure if this level of strengthening can stop them.So the best way is not to be discovered by them!Before nightfall, you have to pour water on the curtains, and you have to water them thoroughly, so as to prevent the smell from wafting through the cracks in the windows as much as possible.Also, don't make any noise. If someone has the habit of snoring, it's best not to sleep at night.do you understand? "

Several people nodded to express their understanding.

"Have you brought weapons?" the shop owner asked again.

"Are the weapons useful? I've heard people say that even an M2 machine gun can't do fatal damage to them, and all weapons that can be carried by individuals are basically ineffective against them—except maybe the RPG." Grant asked.

"Weapons are not used to fight those things, but to be used after you are discovered. Are you going to be eaten alive by them?" asked the shop owner.

"So scary? Boss, where do you live at night? Are you safe?" Annie asked.

"I can't tell you where I live. If you can do what I say all night, you have a good chance of surviving until dawn tomorrow." The shop owner replied, closing the door behind him.
