Qu Jianlei had a lot of doubts in his heart, but his running speed was not slow at all. He didn't want to bear the fire again.
Of course his running speed couldn't be compared to a cannonball, but he couldn't just stand and wait for death.
But then, something strange happened. The roaring shells struck accurately.
It's not surprising that the strike was accurate, but the opponent locked onto an area of about 100,000 square meters, and the artillery fire plowed the ground back and forth.
One hundred thousand square meters is not small, but it is only the area of a dozen standard football fields.
To be more intuitive, it is a circle with a radius of about 170 meters.
What was fired was high-explosive artillery shells. After plowing the ground three times, the attack stopped. Thermobaric Bomb Nothing was of use.
In fact, the artillery shells made by Empire Technologies were so powerful that it only took more than a hundred artillery shells to clean the ground three times.
The range of the shell's lethality was actually close to 200,000 square meters.
Obviously, the other party regarded the person holding the radio station as an ordinary person.
However, with the level of this kind of attack, even if it were Modified Warrior, it would most likely result in serious injury.
But Qu Jianlei used Wind Attribute's movement skills. When the shell hit the ground, he had already escaped seven or eight hundred meters away and was still running.
After discovering the abnormality, he did not stop until he ran about 1,500 meters before he started to slow down.
When he really stopped, he was two kilometers away.
Then he began to carefully savor the artillery shells: a precise strike was enough to knock him down, but were the artillery shells so wasteful? Space Pirate has much more supplies than Pioneering Group, but it is still scarce in nature.
The last time Space Pirate washed the floor regardless of the cost, the main reason was that there might be Rank A Warrior in the area, so it was worth the gamble.
While trying to kill Rank A, it can also destroy the supplies carried by Transport Mech, preventing Pioneering Group from being replenished.
But for an ordinary spy, is it really worth consuming more than a hundred artillery shells? Then Qu Jianlei realized: those who launched the attack might be those Pioneers who helped Space Pirate defend his lair.
This explanation seems to make sense. Anyway, I am using other people's materials, so I don't feel bad about it.
At the same moment, in the military station where the attack was launched, a Rank B Warrior was furious, "Who made you waste so much?"
Another Rank B Warrior replied coldly, "These spies are too cunning and difficult to catch. In the current war, it is necessary to eliminate hidden dangers."
The former laughed angrily, "Even if we don't talk about wasting cannonballs, this is our Security Zone, and it plows the ground with cannonballs?"
"I don't know, I thought it fell... Have you considered the impact? Or are you still thinking about Pioneering Group?"
The latter replied calmly, "There is no Settlement around there. It is a rare bombing point. It can be used to warn other spies."
When the former heard this, he was immediately speechless. It took him a long time to say angrily, "Then we should save some artillery shells."
Therefore, the responsibility for being wiped out by shells this time still lies with Qu Jianlei himself.
In order to buy enough time to explain the strange things he encountered, he specially chose an inaccessible area.
Unexpectedly, the other party saw that this place was suitable for shelling, so they opened fire decisively.
Qu Jianlei really didn't expect this, but he figured it out: if he got close to Settlement, the opponent wouldn't be able to clear the ground with shells.
There was no way, the shelling had already caused some psychological shadow on him, and he had to avoid it as much as possible.
In fact, it is easy to get caught when you are close to Settlement. This is also the original intention of the other party to fire - either you will be shot, or you will be careful.
But Qu Jianlei was not thinking about this. What he was thinking about was: What if the other party dared to fire near Settlement?
Given the level of technology here, the artillery strikes are relatively accurate, but the possibility of accidents exists objectively.
The key is that Settlement people do not only move around their residences, but are surrounded by their activities.
Qu Jianlei's character is that he never likes to bring others down, and the aborigines of Zalifu Star are already very miserable.
Space Pirate was previously willing to show some sympathy to the aboriginal people, but now the situation has changed drastically, and they may not still show sympathy when they are angry.
The point is, although Qu Jianlei doesn't want to admit it, he also feels that... he might be a bit of a swindler.
So what he was thinking was to choose those Settlement that had been stored in Levy Point, where the aboriginal people tended to be more Space Pirate.
If the other party still dares to fire here... well, innocent people may still be hurt, but Space Pirate will be even more unpopular.
The lesser of two evils! He thought about it and chose Settlement, who had burned down a military depot himself.
The next contact time was seven and a half hours later, when he started calling Mu Guoguo.
Leader Mu connected to the radio, and the first thing he said was, "Why are you bombarded?"
"This matter is not important," Qu Jianlei did not take up the topic and quickly explained in detail the abnormal situation he encountered.
Finally, he said, "I think there is a relatively large Pioneering Group who is colluding with Space Pirate... you should be careful."
Leader Mu was silent for almost Buduo three seconds. As you can imagine, this news caused quite a shock to him.
Then he asked directly, "Do you have any suspicions?"
"Quantum," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "This group is suspicious... unless those Pioneers are from multiple teams."
A team of six to seven thousand people can be sent to help Space Pirate look after the house. Only Heaven Rank Group can have such rich human resources.
Profound Rank Group can gather so many people, but his camp is no longer defended and the supplies are no longer needed?
"Quantum..." Leader Mu smiled bitterly, "Do you think it's not enough for me to offend Space Pirate, so you have to add Pioneers to it?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, that was Quantum, one of Pioneering Group Four Great Carriages.
Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "You asked me to guess."
"Okay," Leader Mu is not irresponsible, "Is there any evidence? Suspicious things are considered."
"No," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation, "It's just intuition."
At this point, he did not lie. His suspicion of Quantum first started with Lucio.
It was Wood Attribute Rank B under Seventh Leader, who was captured while hunting the Armored Cattle group.
Lucio reported himself to be Fat Fox at the time. If Qu Jianlei did not have the ability to distinguish emotions, there is a high probability that Fat Fox would be asked to verify it.
Why does he dare to think that Fat Fox will definitely protect him?
Later, Rank B followed Pan Yifu, the two Fat Fox.
Although these two people also participated in the attack on the military station, is it normal for spies to do this in order to win the trust of others? The key is that Fat Fox's territory is quite far away from Security Zone. How could he encounter Pan Yifu who escaped in a hurry? Then there is Fat Fox's cave Secret Camp. There are actually many people hiding in it.
Qu Jianlei I didn't think it was anything at the time, but now that I think about it, it's a bit strange.
There are many people hiding in Space Pirate and Security Zone, but no decent attack was launched - do you need so many people to collect intelligence? However, these suspicions are too far-fetched. Qu Jianlei cannot even use these speculations to try to convince Leader Mu.
Anyway, he thought there might be something wrong with Fat Fox, and the Heaven Rank Group who hired Fat Fox was Quantum.
Then Quantum... is naturally suspicious, but Qu Jianlei himself is ashamed to export such speculation process.
"Intuition..." Leader Mu was a little confused when he heard him talking about intuition.
When others talk about intuition, he just thinks it's a joke. He doesn't believe it, but when it comes from Black Sky, it's different.
After all, this one can sense other people's emotions.
But he finally made up his mind, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, maybe it was a combination of multiple Pioneering Group people."
Qu Jianlei poured a ladle of cold water on her coldly, "In that case, the consequences will be even more serious."
"Who can say for sure?" Leader Mu answered casually, but it's hard to say whether he was in such a relaxed mood.
"You haven't finished talking about the shelling just now. What's going on? Tell me about it?"
Qu Jianlei told what happened, and Leader Mu couldn't help but be speechless.
"I'm here for you. Is it so dangerous to be a spy now? Where are you now? Are you in danger?"
After he understood the logic of Qu Jianlei, he made it very clear.
"That's right. No matter how important the information is, don't go to the barren mountains to distribute it. Where can a drop of water be hidden so that it's not easy to find?"
"Of course Jiang Haili," Qu Jianlei replied helplessly. He finally realized what the problem was.
But the next moment, he sighed, "Okay, someone is here to search. I'll contact you at the next time."
It's too close to Settlement. That's the bad thing. Once the radio station is discovered, someone will come out soon.
It was still midnight, and the people who came out to search were all aborigines, otherwise he might not even be able to finish what he said.
"Wait, the last sentence," Leader Mu Zhengzhong warned, "Under the premise of ensuring safety, try to find out their identities as much as possible."
Qu Jianlei smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "I will work hard, that's it, let's go."
He put away the radio and left quietly, but in the end he did not take action against the aborigines.
Even if those people's hearts are indeed biased toward Space Pirate, they still accept Space Pirate's instructions to search for spies.
Then he went to Secret Camp again for Fat Fox Pioneering Group.
The exchange with Leader Mu made him clear his head, and now he wants to take a look at this somewhat suspicious team.
It was midnight when he arrived, and he was not in a hurry to get a feel for Shandong. Instead, he found a secret place to take a rest.
When Baitian arrived the next day, there was still no movement in Secret Camp.
On the evening of the third day, two people came, opened the door of Secret Camp and went in, but did not come out again.
However, just the moment the door opened, Qu Jianlei noticed: Secret Camp... there seemed to be no one inside!
We hid so many people before, where are they now? He became more and more suspicious.
But to say that these people all voted for Space Pirate... is really unwarranted.
Qu Jianlei could capture these two people and get the truth after torture. However, what if it's not what he thought?
That would completely offend Fat Fox, unless he could kill these two people and silence them.
"Asking Heart Array is worthy" is easy to say, but it really requires restraint if you want to do it.
