Chapter 224 Preparing for Action
"Didn't the army fight a round? The hostages should have been rescued, right?" Cheng Bai also expressed curiosity.
Huang Zhishen shook his head. "It's been more than a month. According to the captive, they went out two or three times in this month."
"Didn't they say they were barely surviving? How could they get out?" Lan Ximeng remembered clearly that the teachers had said before that they could deal with these pirates.
"That's true for people in the army, but not for us." Huang Zhishen never gave up his hopes from the beginning.
"Now that we have decided, let's start preparing."
"yes!"
"Brother Jiang, Yue, Sister Yue, come over to my tent and help me get the things out." Lan Ximeng called the two of them. She needed their help in what she was going to do.
"Oh, okay, but what can we do?" Jiang Ge followed the two girls into the tent, lowering his eyes and not daring to look around.
"Brother Jiang, you should be familiar with machinery, right?" Lan Ximeng took out a small table from the space, and the three of them sat down around the table.
Jiang Ge nodded, "Not bad." His mechanical abilities were among the best in the school.
"Sister Yue, how is your potion-making ability?" Lan Ximeng was not sure about Li Qiuyue's potion-making ability. She needed help now. She might not be able to make a large amount of poison by herself in a day.
"Not bad." Li Qiuyue curled her lips slightly. She was familiar with potions.
Lan Ximeng nodded in understanding. Since she could say "not bad", it meant it was very good.
"Very good, then I will tell you what you are going to do."
Lan Ximeng took out a piece of paper and a pen from the space and began to draw the two people.
"Like this, like this, and like this again." Half an hour later, Jiang Ge and Li Qiuyue nodded, with expressions on their faces that showed I understood.
"Okay, let's start dividing the work!"
Not long after, the aroma of medicinal herbs and the smell of mechanical welding came from Lan Ximeng's tent.
"They look quite energetic. We should also start preparing."
After saying hello to Huang Zhishen, Xiao Yan and Zhou Nuo disappeared into the darkness.
Now the people in charge of vigilance have become Wang Qin and Bai Yiting, and the others are resting in their tents.
Wang Qin wrapped herself up so that only her little face was exposed, and from time to time she would take out a piece of meat from her arms and put it in her mouth to chew.
Bai Yiting was wearing a thermal jacket and her eyes would occasionally glance at Wang Qin's mouth.
"Do you want to eat?" Noticing Bai Yiting's gaze, Wang Qin took out a bucket of meat from her arms and signaled Bai Yiting not to be polite.
"No." Bai Yiting shook her head, sitting upright, always paying attention to the situation around her.
Wang Qin looked at Bai Yiting curiously. Today was the first time she saw Bai Yiting out on duty in the past few days.
"You, um..." Wang Qin wanted to ask her why her behavior was different these days, but she didn't know how to ask.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yiting looked straight at him.
I don’t know why Wang Qin felt frightened. Bai Yiting’s eyes were very beautiful. At the beginning, her eyes were fierce, but at least they were still lively.
Now it was as if he was imprisoned, with only pure darkness in his eyes.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little bored. Are you guys in the Mecha Department all practicing driving mechas in class?" Wang Qin looked away, not daring to look at Bai Yiting.
Bai Yiting: "No."
Wang Qin smiled, and then what?
No?
Bai Yiting's "no" choked her following words. What should she do? It was so embarrassing.
"Really? Haha, I thought you guys in the Mecha Department dealt with mechas every day. So what else do you usually learn besides mechas?" Wang Qin continued to make small talk.
"Physical training."
That’s it?
"Really? Haha." Wang Qin couldn't continue speaking. When she was thinking about what to say next, she saw Li Lu coming back from the side.
"Xiaolu, do you want to eat?" Wang Qin took out the snacks in her hand.
"Thank you." Li Lu sat down opposite Bai Yiting, took one and started eating.
She nodded and said, "This meat is good. What kind of meat is it from?"
"Is the fire rat jerky delicious? I still have some."
"Which brand is it? I'll buy it after the assessment is over!"
"XXX, very cheap, just 50 yuan for a bucket like this."
“That’s pretty cheap.”
Wang Qin and Li Lu continued to chat, while Bai Yiting still sat upright, constantly on guard.
The two of them looked at Bai Yiting and then looked at each other.
Li Lu shook her head and Wang Qin sighed.
It's difficult.
Zhou Nuo and Xiao Yan came to the pirate camp.
"Be careful." Zhou Nuo handed a hand-drawn map to Xiao Yan.
"Simple." After getting the map, Xiao Yan walked away carelessly.
Zhou Nuo shook his head helplessly and took out another hand-drawn map from the space.
This map was drawn based on the prisoner's confession and is a simple map of the pirates' underground camp.
What he and Xiao Yan had to do was to check whether the ventilation holes marked on the map were correct and whether they could provide normal ventilation.
Zhou Nuo took the map and began to check each marked point.
The time soon came to midnight, and Lan Ximeng and the other two finally got out everything they needed.
"Oh, I'm so tired. I didn't expect it took so long." Lan Ximeng put away the last thing she had made, spread her hands, and stretched lazily.
"Be more ladylike." Li Qiuyue pushed back Lan Ximeng's outstretched hand and glanced at Jiang Ge who was still there.
Jiang Ge realized something and said embarrassedly: "Ah, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go back and rest first."
He hurriedly came out of Lan Ximeng's tent and saw Zhou Nuo and Xiao Yan keeping watch.
"Is it your turn to keep watch now?"
Xiao Yan nodded, "Have you got all your things ready?"
"Yeah, I'm so tired. I never thought we could sit for twelve hours just to make something so simple." Jiang Ge tightened the corners of his clothes, "I can't do it anymore. I want to go back to sleep."
At 4:30 in the morning, Huang Zhishen woke up all nine people.
"The pirates' defense team has been out of contact for a day. I guess the pirates' base must have discovered something. We should get started." Huang Zhishen signaled Lan Ximeng to take out what she had prepared.
Lan Ximeng nodded, took out the things in the space and placed them on the table.
The others didn’t know what Lan Ximeng and the others were doing. Now they looked and saw twenty neatly arranged mechanical spiders the size of fists.
"What is this?" Xiao Yan picked up a mechanical spider and examined it over and over again.
Lan Ximeng picked up a mechanical spider and began to introduce it to others.
"I named this thing the 'Psychic Erosion Spider'. It is a remote-controlled mechanical spider with a special poison inside. Once released, it can make people with low mental strength fall asleep for a whole day, while people with high mental strength will feel dizzy. It is suitable for tactical suppression and non-lethal control."
Lan Ximeng took out ten remote controls with screens and distributed them to everyone.
"What you have in your hands is the remote control for controlling the spider. It's very easy to operate." Lan Ximeng pointed at the joystick on the remote control and said, "This joystick is used to control the spider's left, right, up and down movements. This one says 'jump', so it jumps. This one says 'adsorb', so it can be attached to the wall..."
After finishing speaking, Lan Ximeng looked at the others and asked, "Do you understand?"
The nine people nodded in unison.
"Can I try it now? I'm afraid of making mistakes later." Xiao Yan's big hands were ready to move.
Lan Ximeng nodded, "Sure, as long as you don't press this button to make it explode."
