Chapter 391 Danger is coming quietly
"Eric! Your fish soup is so delicious! How did you make it?"

Eric thought for a moment and replied, "It's mainly because of the good raw materials. These fish have a wide range of activities and abundant food sources, so the meat is delicious and chewy..."

"Oh, I see." Han Linger nodded and continued eating.

Thanks to the nourishing fish soup and the herbal treatment, Han Linger's cold soon recovered. After half a day, her body was almost recovered and her face was rosy again.

"By the way! Where did Zhi Youce go?" Eric looked around and found that Zhi Youce was missing.

Han Linger coughed lightly and said, "He went to find dry branches. We don't have many resources to make a fire now."

Eric's heart tightened when he heard this.

Because Zhi Youce had been out for a long time and had not come back yet, he was worried that Zhi Youce had encountered some trouble.

Seeing the beads of sweat on Eric's forehead, everyone felt worried.

"Eric! What's wrong with you?"

Eric recovered and replied, "I was worried that Chiyousaku was in trouble and he didn't come back for so long."

After listening to this, Han Linger nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed worrying." She was worried that Zhi Youce had encountered some wild beast and was probably in great danger.

Eric's concerns were completely different from everyone else's. He knew Zhi Youce's timid character very well and concluded that this man would never dare to go deep into the jungle alone to look for branches, and must be wandering around the camp.

However, according to Eric's understanding of the surrounding environment, no trace of wild animals was found within five miles of the camp, so the possibility of Zhi Youce being attacked by wild animals was extremely small.

"No, I can't just sit there and do nothing!"

Eric was extremely anxious. He stood up suddenly and rushed out the door.

Before leaving, he told the mercenaries to take refuge in the caves immediately if there was any change in the camp.

Eric also brought a bodyguard with him and carried magical weapons - a steel crossbow and a long sword.

This sword means a lot to him and has helped him escape danger many times. He affectionately calls it "Falcon".

On weekdays, he took good care of the sword, not only wrapping it with oilcloth, but also wiping it every day.

Eric was cautious and silent along the way, with his eyes sharp and vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

After all, in the depths of this dense forest, any ferocious beast might suddenly appear.

It took him two hours to cross the impenetrable forest of Jianfengling and rashly venture deep into it.

In such a dangerous situation, everyone would remain highly vigilant.

There was no path to follow in the forest, the sunlight was blocked by dense leaves, and even a moment's rest was out of the question.

Although Eric had not yet encountered any wild beasts, the leeches in the jungle gave him a headache.

Once bitten by these little guys, the consequences would be disastrous. So he quickened his pace and ran fast in the forest.

Before he knew it, Eric had reached the end of the forest, but the scene before him frightened him - a small camp appeared in front of him.

From a distance, the shelters there were extremely simple and could hardly withstand the wind and rain. At this moment, he was full of doubts: Are the people living in that camp human or savage?
If it was a human, Zhi Youce might still have a chance of survival; but if it was a savage, Zhi Youce's situation would be precarious.

Eric didn't dare to expose himself rashly, so he found a gentle slope to hide.

When he stuck his head out again, he was both surprised and happy.

The good news was that Zhi Youce was still alive and seemed uninjured; the shocking thing was that he actually fell into the hands of the savages.

Zhi Youce was blindfolded, tied up, and carried naked by the savages.

Not far away, a big pot was placed on the fire. Obviously, Zhi Youce had become the savages' meal.

Eric faced a dilemma: either rescue Zhi Youce with the crossbow and sword in his hand, or watch him become a victim of the savages.

How could Eric have the heart to watch someone die without helping?

But his reason told him that he must analyze calmly.

He had just made a cursory observation of the savage camp and discovered that there were at least a dozen savages armed with weapons guarding each intersection.

If it was a one-on-one fight, Eric was confident that he could handle it; but the savages were social animals, and once they felt threatened, they would attack in groups.

Eric was well aware of the savages' fighting capabilities. Once they entered combat mode, they would become masters of combat.

"Eric, what should we do?" Er Lingyi was extremely anxious as he watched Zhi Youce being carried towards the cauldron.

Eric said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, it will be disadvantageous for us to act now."

As he spoke, he drew his sword and assumed a fighting stance.

Just then, the savages gathered together, chattering, as if they were arguing or arguing.

Eric was nervous, wondering what the savages would do next.

However, this wait actually brought an opportunity. For some unknown reason, the savage locked Zhi Youce in a room, leaving only two guards.

Although Zhi Youce's life is not in danger for the time being, it is only a matter of time before he is imprisoned there. Eric begins to plan a rescue operation, and no matter what the result, he will try his best.

He looked around the terrain and found that there were gentle slopes about ten meters high on both sides of the camp, covered with weeds, making it easy to hide.

"Er Lingyi, do you see the weeds over there? We'll sneak over there first and then find a chance to act." Eric ordered.

Er Ling nodded in agreement, and the two of them quietly sneaked into the bushes.

But when they were halfway there, they dared not go any further because there were too many savages nearby and any movement might alert them.

As the sky gradually darkened, Eric and Er Lingyi, in addition to recuperating, were also observing the movements of the savages.

They found that the savages were divided into five teams, each with four or five people, patrolling around the camp with weapons.

Fortunately, the savages had limited intelligence and did not find hidden places such as bushes and depressions. Therefore, Eric and Er Lingyi hid there all the time, safe and sound.

As darkness enveloped the entire camp, the battle horn sounded quietly. They began to move slowly, and as they got closer to the camp, Eric became more cautious.

Suddenly, he stopped and held his breath.

It turned out to be a rabbit that bumped into a tree trunk while passing by. Eric breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward. Five minutes later, they finally reached the outskirts of the camp.

They hid in the bushes for another half an hour, carefully observing the movements in the camp.

During this period, more than ten people came in and out of the thatched house, and everything seemed normal.

Er Lingyi said to Eric impatiently: "Let's do it quickly, otherwise we will have no chance!" But Eric calmly analyzed: "No, most of the savages are still nearby, and we will be exposed if we take action."

However, the wait lasted until dark, and the opportunity finally came.

Looking at the stars gradually appearing in the sky, Eric's heartbeat quickened. The battle was about to begin!

The darkness became their best cover, and Eric and Er Ling rushed to the house where Zhi Youce was imprisoned in an instant. Their movements were light and silent, and did not attract the attention of the savages.

While Eric was taking out the crossbow, he also counted the number of arrows - 15!
This was good news for him, because there were only two groups of wild men nearby, a total of eight people. Fifteen arrows were enough for them to escape safely.

However, Eric's plan was mainly based on sneak attacks, and the crossbow was only a backup weapon as a last resort.

Since it was a sneak attack, they had to maintain absolute silence, otherwise the action would be meaningless.

"Er Lingyi, I'll leave the two over there to you and I'll take care of the two over here. Is that ok?" Eric asked.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Er Lingyi responded excitedly, his eyes red.

Eric already had a battle plan in mind, so he didn't waste any more time and ran towards his goal.

The two savages closest to him were very close, but they were unaware.

They were obviously tired after a day's guard duty, and when Eric saw the two wild men talking together, he felt that the time had come.

He approached silently and stabbed the savage in the back with a knife. The sharp blade pierced through the chest and lungs, making it impossible for the savage to make any sound, except for the gurgling sound of blood flowing. The other savage was stunned and at a loss for a moment.

But he quickly realized that the man in front of him was dangerous and he had to defend himself.

However, it was too late...

However, just as his fingers were about to touch the weapon, Eric suddenly raised the weapon high again.

The sharp blade mercilessly split him in two, ending his life completely.

Er Lingyi quickly dodged to a corner of the wall, his eyes fixed on the other two savages not far away.

He lowered his body again and sneaked towards the two savages silently.

The two savages were guarding the pass. Even if Zhi Youce was rescued, they might still launch an attack.

But these two savages were extremely alert, holding weapons, constantly looking around, and were extremely vigilant.

This undoubtedly added great difficulty to Er Lingyi's actions. However, the mission had to be completed and he had no choice.

But just as Er Lingyi was about to stand up, one of the savages suddenly strode towards him.

"Damn it!" Er Lingyi cursed in his heart while tightly gripping the sword.

When the footsteps stopped beside his ears, he was already sweating profusely. He was so nervous that he dared not move at all, and his heart was beating like a drum.

When the savage's face came into view, Er Lingyi swung his knife without hesitation and ended the other's life cleanly and neatly.

They quickly hid the four bodies and then entered the room where Wang Xiaohua was imprisoned.

"Eric, what should we do next?" After pushing open the door, Eric left the house carefully.

This room is unusually spacious, and even in modern society it would be considered a massive building.

"This way, follow me!" Relying on his rich experience, Eric quietly avoided the patrolling savages.

As it was pitch black outside, the light inside the prison was dim. The savages only used torches for lighting, and the building materials were extremely flammable, so there were very few torches, and only a faint light could be seen at a few corners.

The rest of the place was pitch black, like an endless abyss.

Fortunately, there was no one where they were. At the end, they found a three-way intersection.

Eric quickly hid behind the wall at the fork in the road, stuck his head out, and found that the two savages were patrolling again.

"We must get rid of these guards, otherwise we can't move forward." Eric knew that without getting rid of these savages, their actions would be difficult to continue.

So he drew out his short knife and rushed to the front savage in one step. He grabbed the weapon with one hand and grabbed the man's arm with the other hand, twisting it hard, and there was a "crack".

Before the screams could be heard, Eric's bayonet had already pierced deeply into the savage's body. When the other savage tried to resist, Eric had already thrown a flying knife, which pierced through the night sky like lightning and pierced directly into the savage's throat.

The savages didn't even have a chance to groan before they fell into a pool of blood. After Eric dealt with the two savages, he remained alert and waited for a while. After confirming that there was no danger, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, they quickly searched each room. It was not until they came to the last room that they saw Zhi Youce.

When Eric rushed into the room, Zhi Youce was also struggling to break free from the rope. Eric stepped in front of Zhi Youce and slashed with his knife. The sharp blade instantly split the rope in half.

"Zhi Youce, are you okay?" Eric asked with concern.

"Eric? Er Lingyi? Why are you here?" Zhi Youce looked at Eric in front of him in astonishment, and could hardly believe his eyes.

"Don't ask anymore, just follow me!" Eric frowned, his face was pale, and he pulled Zhi Youce and ran out.

In the end, before the savages arrived, Zhi Youce successfully escaped and disappeared into the night.

The three of them carefully crossed the savage camp. At this time, Eric truly felt the horror and disgust of the savage camp.

The camp was filled with disgusting slime and dry bones, which made people shudder. The three of them used wooden stakes as cover and shuttled through the camp. Fortunately, these savages did not seem to be very smart, and they were generally safe.

The three continued to move forward, and when they were about to leave safely, they suddenly encountered seven or eight savages walking towards them.

……

On the other side, Fang Weihai led Lin Chen towards the main control cabin. In front, the soldier stood upright at the door of the main control cabin. When he saw Fang Weihai and Lin Chen coming, he immediately saluted with his chest raised.

Following Lin Chen, Fang Weihai walked into the main control cabin. The soldiers in the cabin made way.

Fang Weihai said calmly: "With your ability, you should have known the situation of this cruiser a long time ago, right?"

"That's true." Lin Chen did not deny it. In addition to the official data, he had already gained a deeper understanding of the cruiser through the system.

The basic configuration and capabilities of this heavy cruiser do not have much hidden secrets, nor do they have unique and unknown features. What initially stands out is the sharpness and rapid identification capabilities of its anti-missile system.

After Fang Weihai got Lin Chen's response, he sighed again: "In the past, the US nuclear-powered missile cruisers had great advantages in many aspects of the system."

At this point, he paused, as if waiting for Lin Chen's response. Seeing this, Lin Chen said, "So, what you want is their Aegis system?"

The Aegis system is indeed unmatched by other current combat command systems, and it performs well in detection, radar, decision-making, weapon control, and missile reflection. It can also handle nearly 100 three-dimensional space targets at the same time, whether in the air,
