"..."
Everyone was silent for a while.
Regardless of whether what the young man said is true or false, one result is certain.
That is, they will never know what Lu Yu went through underwater.
"Forget it, it seems like you can't find anything out by asking. Chen Lang, remove the battery from his exoskeleton and tie it up."
Guren, who lost his patience, finally spoke, walking lightly towards the extinguished fire.
After struggling for a while, the "living person" who fell from the tree crown could not escape the fate of being cut off and lay motionless on the ground.
Pressing the toe of her shoe down, Honglian flew up and kicked towards the corpse above the fire.
Perhaps because he was doused with water earlier and was not in a very good mood, Honglian used ten percent of his strength in this kick.
There was only a muffled sound, and the body flew high into the sky, drew an arc in the air, and fell into the lake far away.
Along with the splashing sound of the body falling into the water, Chen Lang's scolding came from the side.
"Don't play tricks. When you remove the battery, you become powerless. I think you are just faking it!"
Glancing sideways, Honglian discovered that Shan Peng was holding a tritium battery in his hand, which looked like it had just been removed from the exoskeleton.
"No, brother, I really don't have the strength, otherwise you think you have to install these exoskeletons..."
Although the power auxiliary power supply of the exoskeleton has not been cut off, Lu Yu has collapsed on the ground, completely looking like a vegetative state.
"Get up from the ground quickly, don't force me to do anything..."
After putting the tritium battery into the bag and placing it properly, the gloom on Shan Peng's face became a little heavier.
Why is it that he really has no strength? He just removed the opponent's backup power supply, and none of the three metal hydrogen batteries for auxiliary power have been used.
If it is really unable to move autonomously, it will not manifest until the exoskeleton is completely powered off.
"Ah, I can't afford it, I can't afford it. If you can, just kill me and let the king-level virus spread!"
Lu Yu simply threw a splash on the ground, and the three metal hydrogen batteries were firmly protected, giving Shan Peng no chance at all.
"you!"
Shan Peng was so angry that he looked at his captain for help.
However, Chen Lang was struggling to light a fire at the moment, and he couldn't think about anything else.
Instead, Li Ming coughed lightly and gave some advice.
"Brother Peng, leave the three metal hydrogen batteries for him. If he really wants to run, he won't be able to escape with just that little auxiliary power."
"Okay..." Shan Peng nodded, gave Lu Yu a kick as if to vent his anger, then pulled out the rope and tied him up tightly.
The next time is a long wait...
Because the sky is obscured by the giant trees in the lake, don't even think about firing up the flares.
The only thing that can attract the attention of the outside world is the column of smoke rising from the fire.
Although it is already summer, the temperature on the shore of the lake is not too high due to the thick fog blocking the sun.
In order to prevent the wet clothes from taking away too much body temperature, Chen Lang and others were shirtless, gathered around the fire, and dried their bodies as much as possible.
"Ah Sneeze! Damn, my nose is coming out. Brother Chen Lang, please help me wipe it..."
Lu Yu sniffed hard and twisted his body, trying to get closer to the warm fire.
Chen Lang, who was busy drying his windbreaker, glanced at the young man next to him with disgust, put down his work lightly, and then tugged hard on Lu Yu's shirt.
"Hey!"
A piece of cloth the size of a palm was torn off, and the young man's clothes were turned into a beggar's style.
He wiped the young man's face with a piece of cloth very perfunctorily. Chen Lang threw it away and threw it into the fire.
"You'd better be honest with me. Before the organization confirms your true identity, we have the power to kill you at any time, even if you have a king-level virus."
"Understand, understand..."
Glancing helplessly at the tattered clothes on his body, Lu Yu shrank his neck, showing an unusually honest look.
I don’t know how long it took, until there were no more obvious water stains on the red windbreaker, and when Shan Peng changed his sitting position for the twelfth time, there was finally movement from the periphery of Broken Bridge Lake.
It was a sharp whistle, accompanied by a blazing red light and a long tail flame.
This kind of signal flare was obviously specially made, and it was very conspicuous even in the dense fog.
"The people from the organization have arrived."
Guren looked up and saw the direction of the signal flare through the gap in the tree canopy.
A rough estimate of the distance was that it wasn't far from them.
Without the woman's orders, Chen Lang took out his gun very consciously and fired nine shots into the sky, three short, three long and three short, which were standard distress signals.
Now that the people coming to respond have arrived, they need to use their voices to accurately report their location.
"Just pack up and be ready to evacuate at any time."
After issuing orders to Shan Peng and Li Ming, Chen Lang's eyes moved to Lu Yu's face again.
Although the young man in front of him behaved extremely honestly, necessary precautions were still indispensable.
Chen Lang had already made a plan. If Lu Yu did not cooperate during the evacuation, he would not mind knocking the opponent unconscious with the butt of his rifle.
But it turned out that his worries were completely unnecessary.
It's not that Lu Yu showed great cooperation, but a series of explosions came from the outside of Broken Bridge Lake wrapped in thick fog, which directly disrupted the evacuation plan of several people.
"What happened? The person who came to meet me got into trouble?"
Chen Lang murmured, subconsciously turning his questioning gaze to Honglian.
The woman also tilted her head and frowned at this moment, as if she wanted to capture more information from the movement just now.
After waiting for a while, Honglian finally spoke.
"It's not like we're in danger. If we're in danger, the sound can't last for a while and then stop. Moreover, this sound is a bit familiar..."
After another moment of silence, the woman seemed to sense something and raised her eyes to look at the entrance.
As if it was agreed upon, chaotic footsteps soon came from above the stacked vehicles, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.
The charming laughter swayed out of the mist, like a mysterious siren, exuding a fatal attraction.
"My good sister, let's meet again~"
The chaotic footsteps on the roof of the car stopped momentarily, and a group of figures appeared in the mist.
The one at the front is a touch of blue. Amidst the clicking sound of high heels hitting the metal roof, the waist twists and turns in a charming way.
"Lord Qingling."
Before Lu Yu could see the face of the visitor, Hong Lian lowered her proud head.
"Hey, the queen bows her head?"
Lu Yu, who was full of curiosity, wanted to complain, but in view of the delicate atmosphere at the moment, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
"We haven't seen each other for just half a month. How come Sister Honglian has become so alienated? Is it because she doesn't want to be a sister with Qingling..."
Qing Ling's steps were graceful and she came to Hong Lian in a leisurely manner.
"Guren doesn't dare."
The woman still lowered her head and spoke respectfully.
However, Lu Yu still keenly captured the subtle changes in her facial expressions.
"Come on, isn't it because I got promoted a little faster? Sister Hongren, if you keep doing this, I'm going to get angry!"
The woman in blue crossed her arms and looked unhappy.
After hearing this, Guren finally raised her face and returned to her original queen appearance.
"Oh, why did you come here..."
"Considering the current layout, I came very quickly, okay..."
Qing Ling shrugged her shoulders and hugged her chest with a pair of jade arms, suppressing the restless waves.
After staring at the exposed scene of the woman in green for a long time, Honglian stiffly looked away and spoke calmly.
"Okay, let me tell you a little bit about this.
The situation here..."
Before Nazhi could wait for Honglian to speak, Qingling raised a finger and pressed it in front of her sexy lips.
"No need, I have other reasons for coming here."
"Is that true? Didn't you come here specifically to pick me up?"
A hint of exaggerated disappointment flashed across Honglian's face, as if her young heart had been deeply hurt.
"See what my sister said, let's get down to business first, and we'll talk later~"
While speaking, Qing Ling snapped her fingers behind her.
The figures that had been standing quietly in the mist took action one after another and began to perform their respective tasks step by step.
Various mechanical components were taken out of the backpack, and with the sound of clicking and assembling, a strange "turret" that was half a person tall and covered an area of about four square meters was erected.
"Energy device initialization completed."
"The electromagnetic pulse components are assembled in place."
"The impact bracket is fixed."
"The equipment is charging once, the estimated time is three minutes..."
Looking at the strange thing on the shore of the lake with satisfaction, Qing Ling stretched out one arm, pointed to the center of the lake, opened his mouth lightly, and said "Go".
Before the words could be heard, a purple shadow immediately sprang out from the crowd, jumped into the lake.
Seeing this, Honglian couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"Qing Ling, what are you trying to do..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qing Ling interrupted again with a sweet smile.
"Haha, good sister, just look at it..."
The man who jumped into the lake quickly surfaced and swam towards the giant tree in the center of the lake in a stiff and standard freestyle style.
Although Hong Lian was filled with doubts, seeing that Qing Ling had no intention of explaining, she had no choice but to restrain her temper and continue reading.
The sound of water rushed, dividing the originally calm lake into two halves.
Just when the man in purple disappeared into the thick fog, a report came from the crowd.
"Lord Qingling, the TC130 disruption device has been charged."
"Very well, wait for my order."
The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the thick white in front of her.
The giant tree in the middle of the lake felt something. In addition to the rattan hanging from the crown of the tree, which began to stir, things also began to drill out of the tree holes in the trunk.
But due to the thick fog, no one on the shore could see clearly what it was, and could only vaguely feel that something bad was about to happen.
Shan Peng even took half a step back and silently took the weapon behind his back into his hand.
Just when he was about to use his thumb to open the safety, Qing Ling on the lake shore waved one arm and gave the order.
"fire!"
