Chapter 385 Waiting for work

One to say one,

Once the extraordinary people are able to form a reasonable coordination, their combat effectiveness will often show an effect of "exponential growth".

A relatively simple example is "Whale Oil" and "Airflow" in the detective agency. They are just like that when they fight alone.

A substance that can produce an oily paste with properties similar to whale oil within a limited time. It is normally used to make people "slippery" or "burn themselves".
The other main function is to cause directional breeze in a certain area. In addition to preventing odors from leaking prematurely in the mountains, the other common uses are to adjust the temperature in the room and to help in the kitchen.

When the two of them are combined, they are experts in arson and smokescreen. They might be able to trap Connor in a confined space and suffocate him to death.

For example, the "Battlefield Situation Awareness System" that the detective agency just started testing tonight is a relatively complex one.
Seth worked as a "router" on the roof of the detective agency's warehouse.
Doug's circling owl and the scattered members can be considered "sensors".
The three teams that set out with the small mirrors that Seth had attached a "film" to were almost receiving terminals.

Of course, local methods are still useful.

For example, Willy, who is now with Seth, is responsible for lighting the "signal light" on the roof and "yelling" when necessary...

Because they had guessed that the other party might make some moves tonight, the detective agency adjusted their schedule slightly after the sun went down.
Most of them are "on guard with weapons at all times" and "sleep in clothes", waiting for the attackers, who are likely to come to them.

Finding a suspected attacker at night is easier than you might think.
The detective agency is located in a remote area, so it's not surprising that someone might pass by at night.
But when a group of people approached the detective agency about a mile away, they suddenly turned off the lights, or covered the lights with lampshades, and suddenly everything went dark.

Who would believe me if I said I wasn't here to cause trouble...

The place where the other party turned off the lights collectively was not in a position that the detective agency could normally observe.
However, Doug also temporarily placed the pigeons at home in some more "appropriate" temporary bird nests in advance.

Then I saw a pigeon flying back and "cooing", and I identified where it was placed before.

The detective agency quietly mobilized according to the predetermined plan.

The owl flew silently in the sky, and when it came back it started picking pine nuts on the map.
There should be thirteen people coming from the opposite side this time. They quickly divided into three teams and surrounded the detective agency courtyard facing the river.

Damon McQuidy, Connor and Sanders each received a "receiving terminal" from Seth and set off with their men.

Wayne and Lina also climbed to the roof of the large warehouse first, and observed the battle situation with Seth, Willy and Doug, and would send reinforcements when they saw which side sent the signal.

Screams and explosions were heard first, followed by the sound of returning gunfire and shouting.
The midnight calm was quickly broken, and then things immediately exploded like water entering hot oil.

"what--"

"Oh!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The battle situation was pretty good at the beginning.

Yellow fireworks soon appeared on Sanders' side, and Damon McQuidy's side gradually became quiet. The enemies on Connor's team did not seem to have fallen into the trap, and their movements were as intermittent as sheep shitting.

The owl would come back once after turning around. Seth listened to Doug's translation and quickly traced his fingers on a mirror.

The square with an extended line on one side represents the detective agency next to the river, and the three curved lines around it roughly indicate the number, advance position and direction of the enemies.

Sanders's situation is the best. The number 5 was crossed out and replaced with 3, and 3 was crossed out again and turned into 0.

The remaining two sides are 2 and 4 respectively.
Then things quickly went wrong. "Help—"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Then, fireworks suddenly rose into the sky in three directions, all of them were red fireworks, indicating "danger".

Seth was busy changing the map on the mirror.
Willy took the small torch and quickly lit up all the braziers on the beams. He lit them in groups of three, representing the degree of danger in different directions. If all three directions were lit, it meant that there was danger in all three directions.
Doug whistled for an owl, then rummaged through the high explosives with extended fuses, ready for "air support."

Wayne slid down the simple slide on the edge of the eaves, returned to the ground, grabbed the bolt-action rifle, found the right direction, and prepared to support the side with the closest strength comparison.

Meow,

The slide was not polished in time, and my butt felt like it was rubbed raw after sliding down it...

Lina was jogging down the simple slide, and finally she couldn't stop the car at all. She shouted "Get out of the way" from behind, and rushed out from beside Wayne due to inertia, almost hitting the wall in a straight line.

Fortunately, Lina's shotgun was on her back. After she reached the edge of the courtyard wall, she didn't choose a direction. She said hello, and went out of the courtyard with the wind, continuing to head towards the direction of the nearest red fireworks.

Lina went to the "middle road" and Wayne continued to run on the "right road".
It almost turned into a jungle war on Connor's side, with the agents retreating behind the trees while continuing to fire cold shots.

The style of the painting on the other side has become wrong, and the spiritual intuition can clearly sense the strange "restlessness".
Wayne opened his vision with simple lines and took a look. The three remaining guys didn't look like human beings.

One of them now looks a bit like a bamboo shoot, with many vine-like things extending from its feet, some with "trunks" and some with "branches". Some of them even climbed up the tree, looking like a poisonous snake.
This thing is easier to deal with. It seems that it has taken root and cannot be moved anymore. It can only spread by "roots".
Of the remaining two guys, one was scattered into a bunch of "starfish" that could bounce around in the woods, and the other turned into a "skin bag" with something wriggling inside the human skin, as if all the bones were gone.
They are also extremely aggressive, as if they will "eat" any living thing they catch.

Connor used his hardened "small shield" to block a "starfish", and the "starfish" took advantage of the situation and pulled up, with several tentacles trying to pierce Connor's body like syringes.
After being thrown off by Connor's "tail-breaking", the "starfish" seemed to have a "mouthpart" at the center, which could both suck and bite.
Connor quickly fired another shot and was about to retreat when another "starfish" bounced up and was about to jump onto the side of his face.

"boom!"

Wayne helped him knock the "starfish" away, "They're all out of control again. Retreat if you can, and stay away from those who can't move. Let's see if they will collapse on their own!"

The voice has not fallen,

Several "starfish" and the "skin bag" followed the sound and gathered towards Wayne.
The "skin" exploded in mid-air with a "pop" sound, and the spider-web-like flocs spread rapidly, as if sealing off the entire surrounding area into the "Pansi Cave".

Some unfortunate "starfish" were directly wrapped by the "spider silk" and then quickly withered.

Wayne watched as his vision was quickly filled with "threads".
However, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to another direction by his spiritual intuition that was ringing alarm bells.

A little further away on the other side,
In the void in mid-air, many lines suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then these lines began to become disordered, and then intertwined and entangled with each other.

Wayne quickly retracted his gaze and tried to focus all his spiritual power on his skin.
Planning to defend or "blow up" the "spider silk" that is entangled.

My heart is still in shock.
Oh my god,
What was going on with Lina forced her to invite out all the "wise sages".
