Chapter 256
After lunch, regardless of whether it was filling or not, they hurriedly urged Li Mu to go and catch up on his sleep, while the others were studying what to bring.
The cassock cub must stay on the boat, and although it was very resistant, now was not the time to let it be willful, so they left some food for it to carry around. The livestock upstairs no longer needed to be taken care of, and the food was placed in the storage box. The cassock cub could not take it out, but the robot could.
So they also left some food in the storage box on purpose, and if there was not enough food left outside, the robot could take it for them. The settings were also entered, and everything was confirmed to be OK.
It was already dark when Li Mu woke up. It was almost the time he had agreed with Fang Yueyi. Several people dressed up and sneaked onto their boat from the stern.
In order to get closer to the northwest of the pirate island faster, the six people took the oars and rowed with all their might. Even Xinxin and Baba were on the left and right of the bow, holding the oars to help row.
When the small broken boat arrived at the northwest, except for the sound of the sea, the surrounding area was extremely quiet. However, the sound of pirates patrolling could be heard from time to time in the forest over there. It seemed that the infiltration in the afternoon had caused a scare, and now the pirates were also alert.
At this time, Qiao Sheng and his friends were standing on the boat, close to the cliff, and asked Ah Dai and Xiao Ying to fly to the top of the cliff with the rope. After making sure there were no pirates on patrol, they threw one end of the rope down from the sky, and the other end was a large knot that Li Mu had already made. They found a solid rock that was protruding and put it on and
pulled it, and it was considered tied. Ah Dai was very familiar with this process. The first to climb up were Li Mu and Lin Haiyang. After they climbed up, they asked Qiao Sheng and the other three women to climb up, and then tied the rope around Xinxin and Baba and pulled them up. You Su was brought up hanging on Qiao Sheng's neck. Finally, Xu Ziyan fixed the boat and climbed up.
The cliff was really high, but fortunately, the group was quite agile. After a short rest at the top of the cliff, they let Ah Dai and Xiao Ying lead the way and found the most secluded and deserted place to walk. By the time they climbed down the mountain, it was already late at night.
"No wonder these pirates didn't put patrols near the cliff. Who can climb this place?" Xia Beibei leaned against a tree and panted.
"Fortunately, there is a place they can't think of, otherwise we can only attack without knowing anything about this island. I don't know how many players' lives will be used to fill it." Qiao Sheng took a few bottles of warm water from the ring space and distributed them to everyone.
After catching their breath, the group found the direction that Ah Dai directed and began to wander around the island.
It was too dark, and they dared not light lanterns blatantly, so they could only move forward in the dark. Li Mu and Xu Ziyan would stop and draw maps with wooden boards at the same time.
Lin Haiyang also asked them why they had to draw two copies, and was told that it was because they were afraid that one person would draw inaccurately, so each person had one copy, and they would go back to the ship to study the position and check for omissions. JJZL
This turn lasted until dawn. At that time, they had entered the place where the pirates lived. Almost all of them were mud-brick houses, which were very different from the small wooden houses on other pirate islands in Ge'na.
As they went deeper, they found out more and more, such as the pirates' patrol time, the rotation time, how many people were in their living place, and even a combat group. These people lived alone together. Because there were too many guards, Qiao Sheng and his team never had the opportunity to sneak in.
They could only circle around from a distance, and based on the size of the place and the houses they saw, they could roughly estimate a number.
This investigation took them two days and three nights, and it was not until the sun rose on the third day that they had walked through every corner of the island. Fortunately, they were investigating in circles, and when they finished, they happened to be near the cliff where they boarded the ship.
While it was still early, they quickly climbed to the top of the cliff and quickly climbed the rope to slide back to the ship.
When they returned to the player gathering place, the six of them were exhausted. Instead of going back to rest, they went to Pei Hong's ship to repair and summarize.
After counting, there are tens of thousands of pirates on this island, 70% of whom are well-trained fighters. They also saw artillery and improved crossbow carts, which means that the advantages they think they have do not exist at all.
Players have been joining in a steady stream in the past few days, but after Pei Hong recorded it, there are only just over a thousand people. I don’t know if the others dare not come or are in a hurry, anyway, they have not been seen.
Because the enemy’s combat power is too strong, they can only divide the players into three teams. Pei Hong, Shen Li, and Li Mu each lead a team. Pei Hong is responsible for the western forest with 300 players. Now the pirates have added a lot of defenders here, so the south is handed over to Shen Li, and he keeps 500 players here.
The remaining 200 players followed Li Mu and his team to the east, where the pirates' battle camp was located. Because the fighting was the most intense here, Pei Hong even included Fang Yueyi and Xu Ziyan in their team.
As for the battle plan, there was actually no need to discuss anything. They could only attack with force, hit the opponent hard with firepower, and after dispersing most of the pirates, they would go to the island for hand-to-hand combat. After discussing everything
, several people hurried back to the ship to catch up on sleep. The battle time was set for the day after tomorrow, leaving tomorrow for them to have a good rest. After the battle started, it was unknown when they would be able to rest.
Back on the boat, the monk greeted them warmly. It was obvious that they were in trouble. However, the four of them had no time to clean up the situation. They added firewood to the stove. They didn't even have time to wait for the temperature in the greenhouse to rise. They hurried to the bathroom to wash and change into pajamas, and got into the slightly warm bed to catch up on sleep.
They slept in the afternoon, and it was dark when they woke up again. Some of them woke up because they were too hungry. The temperature in the greenhouse had eased. They moved the small kang table next to them. They didn't leave the greenhouse. Qiao Sheng took some food from the ring space and pulled the hungry one to the safety line.
"It's annoying to be forced to get up to eat. If I wasn't afraid of starving to death in my sleep, I would definitely not get up." Lin Haiyang squinted his eyes and bit the hot bun in his hand unconsciously. "
Data is also very annoying. In real life, it's uncomfortable to sleep with an empty stomach. It's completely fine to eat after waking up." Qiao Sheng ate while leaning against the rabbit fur wooden wall. He was really too sleepy.
After eating and drinking enough, several people fell asleep again. They slept until the sun rose, and finally woke up. For the next day, Lin Haiyang stayed in the kitchen. After finishing part of the work, he asked Qiao Sheng to put it up and continued to cook.
What he made were all quick and easy, such as pancakes and steamed buns, stuffed with all kinds of fried meat and brined meat, coated with sauces, and eaten directly when hungry.
He cooked several pots of porridge, not to mention the meat and vegetable combinations, and even the dry and liquid ones were all sorted out clearly, and he was very good at logistics.
The other three people sat in front of the locker with a chair each, and Xia Beibei frantically made machetes and crossbows, which were prepared for other players. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. If you let the players fight hard, they must also have the right tools, and you can't just rush in and fight.
In the afternoon, Li Mu communicated with the 200 players assigned to him. This job was originally supposed to be done by Captain Qiao Sheng, but for someone like Qiao Sheng who only wanted to manage himself and didn't want to manage others, this job was given to Li Mu.
When he came back, he realized that Pei Hong was also very particular about personnel matching. Because Li Mu had a heavy task, the players assigned to him all looked capable. Even the female players were combat-type players like Qiao Sheng and Fang Yueyi. Of
the 500 people on Shen Li's side, more than 300 were combat-type players, while his side had average combat power.
Li Mu even sent him an email, saying that he didn't need so many combat-type players, but Pei Hong refuted that the vanguards had to be used on the blade. His side was in the forest, so he could use fire attacks. As long as there were players who were good at archery and could shoot at those who showed up, it would be fine. Since there was no need for melee, there would be no need for so many combat-type players.
Shen Li also said that there were enough team members, especially Qiao Sheng and his team sponsored him with a new crossbow cart and a lot of ammunition and arrows. When replying to the email, he half-jokingly said: [We guarantee to complete the task, please rest assured, leaders.]
Li Mu looked at everyone's reply, but didn't say anything in the end. He discussed with Qiao Sheng and sent 20 bottles of Baibao Dan to Shen Li and Pei Hong respectively.
In order to produce more medicines, they had already adjusted the time flow of the ship faster and arranged robots to harvest Sanqi in rounds. Now there are a lot of Baibao Dan in stock. As long as they are alive, they can just take medicine and fight!
On the last night before the battle, everyone went to bed early. When it was dawn, the thousand-person player team divided into three directions and drove towards their own battle areas.
Pei Hong and his team also agreed that he would fire the first shot and set the forest on fire, and let the combat pirates in the west provide support first, giving them half an hour to fight on the road, and then Li Mu would start the attack. After both sides had restrained the combat pirates, Shen Li would take action.
As Pei Hong ignited the first cannon, shells exploded into the forest one after another. His team members used large arrows from the crossbow cart wrapped with ignited cloth strips with oil, and then shot into the forest, and the fire slowly started. The pirates who
thought of getting water from the shore to put out the fire were all shot by the players with crossbows. They could not put out the fire in time, and the fire became more and more intense. As soon as
the half-hour agreement was up, Li Mu also started the attack.
