Chapter 541 Unexpected Bombing
"Hmm...I see."
Han Shuo thought to himself and fell into deep thought.
Are reconnaissance nanorobots afraid of fire and water?
Fire is simpler; it can be lit anywhere in the forest.
However, once lit, it will not only produce flames but also generate thick smoke.
Although they were able to eliminate the nanobots around them, it was somewhat of a loss, because the flames would also reveal their location to the Corpse Cloaks.
Most importantly, setting fire to the forest is extremely dangerous; it can easily spread to other areas if not handled carefully, and once the fire grows large, there is a high probability that they will be burned to death.
...
"Um……"
Han Shuo frowned and shook his head; in his mind, this plan had to be abandoned.
Water is much safer; a heavy rain can solve all the problems.
However, this is a country dominated by deserts, where the climate is dry and receives little rain throughout the year.
Since Han Shuo and his companions entered this country's territory, they have never seen rain.
He looked up at the cloudless blue sky, which didn't look like it was going to rain anytime soon.
What do we do?
They had tried to summon lightning once, but that was a matter of perfect timing, location, and people... They really didn't know anything about praying for rain.
...
Sigh~
Han Shuo sighed helplessly.
Although they know the weaknesses of these reconnaissance nanobots, they are currently unable to use either of these methods.
He thought for a while before asking again.
"If we don't eliminate them, will there still be..."
However, before he could finish speaking, his expression changed instantly.
The next second, Han Shuo stopped asking questions, called the three fat men, and turned to run away.
"Quickly, get out of here!"
...
At the same time, Fatty, Xiao Zhao, and Golden Hair also noticed something was amiss.
Suddenly, a series of rockets appeared on the distant horizon, and judging from their trajectory, they were heading towards their current location.
"My God, they've gone mad, they've gone mad, they're bombarding us with rockets?"
Cold sweat broke out on the fat man's body instantly, and he turned around and began to flee for his life.
"My God, there's still so much! Once it lands, this area will be instantly razed to the ground!" Xiao Zhao shouted as well.
The four reacted quickly, but the rocket was traveling even faster.
They had only run a dozen meters into the distance when the first rocket landed with perfect accuracy right where the four of them had been standing.
"boom!"
The explosion rang out, and the middle-aged man died instantly in the sea of fire before he could react.
...
Oh my god!
The fat man at the back of the group was also knocked over by the shockwave, and even his back was scratched by debris.
He endured the pain and the burning sensation from behind, rolled a few times on the ground, then immediately got up and began to flee frantically again.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Then, three more rockets fell, turning the site into ruins, and the surrounding trees began to burn completely.
...
"Run, keep running!"
Han Shuo, who was at the front, was covered in sweat and anxiously called out to the three people behind him.
As the four fled, explosions continued to occur on both sides of the road.
Half a minute later, the bombing finally stopped in the area, and in the distance, the area was covered in flames and in complete ruins.
...
On the edge of the bombing zone, Han Shuo and his three companions emerged from the inferno, their faces covered in soot.
The fat man had a patch of hair burned off and was slumped on the spot, panting heavily.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
"My God, that was terrifying! I survived, I survived again."
At this point, all four of them had some burns, but fortunately they reacted very quickly at the beginning and ran out of the center of the bombing zone, thus managing to escape.
Xiao Zhao took a breath and turned to ask.
"Brother Han, it seems you still have a question you didn't finish asking. What is it you wanted to ask?"
Han Shuo pulled out a water bottle from his backpack, took a big gulp, threw it into Xiao Zhao's hand, and sat down to rest.
"I was just about to ask that middle-aged man if there were any other good ways to evade the detection of those nanobots."
"It's difficult to completely eliminate those nanobots, so we have to find other ways to evade their detection."
"Unfortunately, before I could finish speaking, the bombing began."
...
"Oh, I see." Xiao Zhao nodded, then excitedly continued, "Brother Han, I know!"
"What!"
Han Shuo exclaimed in surprise, stood up from the ground, and hurriedly asked.
"Xiao Zhao, do you know?"
"Yes, didn't that person just say that nanorobots are using thermal imaging technology to locate us?"
"We only need to guard against this."
After hearing Xiao Zhao's reply, Han Shuo shouted excitedly.
"Very good!"
Yes, Xiao Zhao used to be a sniper. When he was on missions, he must have often been detected by the enemy's thermal imaging equipment.
He must have many ways to deal with this!
...
The next moment, Han Shuo looked back at the sea of fire behind him, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Let's go! Let's find somewhere else to talk!"
He grabbed the fat man from the ground and ran back into the sea of fire.
Soon, under his guidance, the four of them plunged back into the sea of fire and stopped in a small open space.
...
The fat man looked at the trees around him that were burning more and more fiercely, and felt the intense heat next to him. His face turned green with fright.
He shook off Han Shuo's arm and shouted in panic.
"My God, what are you doing? We've already escaped, are you going to come back and die again?"
"Hurry up! The sea of fire will soon completely surround us, and we'll be burned to death."
Han Shuo rolled his eyes at him, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he began to explain to the three of them.
"It's safe here now. After that bombing and the subsequent shockwave, all the nanobots in this area must have been destroyed."
"By being here, we can create a false impression for the Corpse-Clad Base for the time being!"
"A false alarm that we died in the explosion!"
After hearing these words, the three of them immediately understood.
The fat man stopped complaining, glanced at Han Shuo sideways, and muttered to himself.
"This kid thinks of so many details. When did he become so cunning?"
...
Han Shuo knew that everyone's time was running out, because the surrounding sea of fire would soon reach them.
He got straight to the point and spoke quickly.
“If we continue to retreat to a safe area, we will be detected again by the nanobots in the forest immediately.”
"Before we get out of this inferno, we must completely hide ourselves and find ways to evade thermal imaging detection."
"This way, we can move around more freely in the forest and have a chance to secretly rescue Brother Silver Hair!"
...
Xiao Zhao nodded and immediately replied, "Brother Han, I understand. The reason they've been able to detect us is by using the temperature difference between our body surface and the surrounding environment to create thermal imaging, and then using the feedback images to find us."
"The ways to avoid thermal imaging are not difficult, and can be summarized as follows!"
...
