Completely contrary to the survival logic of survivors, using drones at night is safer than during the day.
In particular, the bee drone modified by Fei Changyuan has undergone special noise reduction processing. Except for some naturally sensitive flying mutant creatures, even awakened people will find it difficult to detect the vibration and sound generated by the drone's motor unless they get too close.
If it is daytime, the light is relatively sufficient, and the probability of spotting a drone is naturally greater.
But at night, when it is pitch black all around, trying to spot the bee drone with the naked eye is as difficult as looking for a virgin in a blind date corner.
Even if you open your eyes and look for it, it is unlikely to be found...
Although many survivor camps have the ability to generate electricity.
But electricity is still a very scarce energy source for most survivors.
And unless the survivor force is as large as Kahn Company, no one would be willing to turn on the lights at night.
Behavior like that is tantamount to asking for trouble.
In the pitch-black night, lights will attract the attention of many wandering mutant creatures or zombies. No matter how remote the location of the camp is, it will inevitably attract the attention of powerful mutant creatures.
This is clearly the case with this survivor camp right now.
After Xu Qinghe released the drone, he immediately controlled it to investigate the surrounding buildings that could directly threaten the square.
The pitch-black night becomes the best protective color, and the drone's own night vision capability can clearly detect the surrounding situation.
Xu Qinghe controlled the drone and synchronized the relevant images to the smart bracelets of everyone in the small group in real time, allowing everyone in the small group to see the specific situation around them through external contact lenses.
Chen Yan immediately discovered that the buildings around the square, which were originally supposed to be hotels or theme park-related amusement facilities, now had armed personnel on standby in some key locations!
Those armed men were clearly equipped with 'Eclipse' series energy rifles, and were aiming their guns at the square!
As for Zhu Benren's caravan, although they did keep alert to the surrounding area according to Zhu Benren's request.
But their vigilance seemed like a joke. They did not pay attention to the possible ambushes on the buildings, but only stared at the movements around the square. In Chen Yan's eyes, it was equivalent to covering one's ears and stealing the bell.
And as the multifunctional marching tents were set up, at least half of the people in the caravan immediately went into the tents to relieve the fatigue accumulated from a whole day's journey.
The remaining half of the people did follow Zhu Benren's arrangements.
But it seems that they only listened to it superficially. They must have stayed here many times during their past business trips, so they have a high degree of trust in this place.
"Zhu Benren's judgment is correct! The other party's current actions are absolutely filled with malicious intent! The reason they sent Zhu Benren away is probably because he's the boss of this caravan. From the perspective of the people here, if Zhu Benren is sent away, the rest of the caravan will easily fall into chaos if they encounter a sudden attack, making it difficult for them to organize an effective resistance!"
Chen Yan whispered to Xu Qinghe, "If that's the case, Zhu Benren is definitely in grave danger. Since the other party is showing signs of wanting to swallow up the entire caravan in one go, there's no reason to let Zhu Benren go alone.
This caravan won't obey our orders, and their strength is rather dismal. Informing them of the situation and negotiating with them in advance will only hinder us. I think it's best for us to use them as bait..."
Xu Qinghe narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, "That's right! All of us should act quietly first, and the transport vehicles can be left here! Considering the whole thing from the perspective of this settlement, they will definitely think that they have an absolute advantage.
In this case, they would simply eliminate all the personnel, but would certainly try to preserve the transport vehicle as intact as possible. After all, the cargo inside the transport vehicle could all become their spoils. I just wonder why they would resort to such shady tactics.
Chen Yan thought carefully for a moment and said in silence, "According to Zhu Benren, this settlement is a peripheral force of the Kahn Company, responsible for helping the Kahn Company guard the eastern trade route and providing necessary conveniences to the caravans issued passes by the Kahn Company.
If Zhu Benren had not deceived us, this settlement would have wanted to attack Zhu Benren, which must have been approved by some powerful figure in Kahn Company. Otherwise, such a settlement with a family and a business would not have dared to offend Kahn Company.
The powerful figures of Kahn Company have no reason to target an ordinary caravan. Similarly, a caravan operating within Kahn Company's sphere of influence has no reason to offend its powerful figures, unless... there's another powerful figure behind the caravan.
At this point, Chen Yan took a deep breath and continued, "This may involve internal strife among the top management of Kahn Company, provided that Zhu Benren did not lie to us. Another possibility is that Zhu Benren deceived us. He has close ties with this settlement and tricked us into coming in simply to swallow us up!
Zhu Benren's account of the Kahn Company and the settlement must have been true. After all, the chances of being caught lying about something like this are too high. He doesn't know us well enough to take any chances, so even if Zhu Benren were to lie to us, it would only be nine-tenths the truth.
He was called away just after entering. While this was a warning to be careful, it's likely a ploy to escape, to make his departure seem natural. So far, it seems like there are two possible scenarios. I prefer the first one.
Listening to Chen Yan's analysis, Xu Qinghe felt it made sense. He frowned and asked, "Why is the first option the best? If this is really an internal conflict among the top management of Kahn Company, and we haven't even arrived at Kahn Company yet, we've been inexplicably involved. This can't be a good thing, right?"
Chen Yan shrugged and said, "It's certainly not a good thing, but that won't become a concrete threat until we reach the area controlled by Kahn Company. But if it's the second case...
Zhu Benren has a certain understanding of our strength. Even in this situation, the other party still attacked without hesitation, which means they are absolutely confident in keeping us. This is a threat we must face immediately!"
