A group of people walked through the small indigenous town.
After entering the city, Cyril and the black pudgy man left midway, leaving only Sen. Angus on the left side of the stalker played by Max, respectfully leading the way.
When passing by the arena that the indigenous people were building, Max suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly and looked at Sen. Angus, and said indifferently, "What you found this time is very important and cannot be lost."
"I'm sorry, sir, it's my fault at work."
Sen·Angus was startled for a moment, then a look of shame appeared on his face, and he said, "But please rest assured, sir, we will try our best and never bring shame to Angus."
"Hmm."
Max nodded, still showing no emotion and not saying much.
In fact, he didn't know what to say. These words were all said under the instruction of Li Si. He himself was baffled by it now.
"As expected."
Li Si, who was following Max on the right side and silently observing Sen. Angus's reaction, showed a hint of understanding.
It was certainly not for nothing that he made Max suddenly say these words. In fact, he had been tense since he came in. After all, there was too little information, so everything could only rely on his adaptability.
From the first moment he saw these natives building the arena, he thought carefully for a long time before Max suddenly said such a sentence.
It is both a test and a subtle suggestion of the reason why the stalker came in person to further confirm their identities.
Judging from what I saw along the way, among the three groups of Hound Organization this time, the other two groups are obviously more powerful, and the number of Angus is very small.
And according to what Kratos said, the three parts of Hound Organization discovered something important, and conflicts arose over this, and there was even a direct bloody conflict.
But now the three groups seem to be in peace and are still building an arena, which is a bit intriguing.
The first thing that can be confirmed is that these three groups of Hound Organization are not the same force, they are just cooperating with each other because of their interests, and it is obvious that the situation of Angus Hound is not very good now.
Arena, or stage.
These people are not in a hurry to let the indigenous people dig holes, but instead waste time here building this thing. What are they doing? It can't be a celebration party, right?
Looking at it this way, the biggest possibility is that it is a "challenge", used for fighting. These people may have differences due to the distribution of things, and when their strengths are not much different in reality, they decided to use in-game competition to resolve the differences.
Fair enough, right?
No, that's not fair at all.
As far as he knew, although the members of Angus Hound had certain melee capabilities, they were not outstanding. They relied more on firearms and other technological weapons for long-range attacks.
In such a small-sized arena, it is difficult to deploy Angus's firearms. It may be fine against ordinary people, but it will be difficult to deal with Cross and Modar.
What Cross is best at is close combat, and the members of Modar may have telekinesis and other things. Without a sufficient distance, the people of Angus may not even have a chance to shoot. Fighting is purely masochistic.
To be able to agree to such an unequal treaty, Angus Hound's strength, at least on Skull Island, is much weaker than the other two parties, so it has to compromise.
If combined with Sen. Angus's words, it is not difficult to infer that Angus's people were probably the first to discover that damned treasure. However, they were caught off guard by the other two groups, or the people they brought were not as prepared as Cross and Modal Hound.
At the same time, the words he asked Max to say actually had a hidden meaning, an explanation for the reason why he and Max came here - this time the things were very important, maybe for some reason the stalkers were able to enter the game, and knowing that their number was small, they were sent in to give them a stand.
This is a very simple thought guide.
It would be wrong to say more. He lacks intelligence and can only play a cold persona to reduce the chance of exposure. The stalker persona played by Max is even more impossible to take the initiative to explain this, so he can only use this method.
"Sir, the conditions are poor, so I can only force you to rest here."
Passing through the center of the small town, Sen·Angus led Max and Li Si to a rather spacious cave.
There is only one stone bed in the cave, and the most luxurious thing is also a stone bed covered with quilts and blankets. Since the cave is relatively humid, it seems a bit wet, and many water droplets from the rock wall are still dripping on it, leaving traces of water stains.
"It doesn't matter, just do your own thing."
Max strictly followed Li Si's instructions, glanced at him expressionlessly, walked straight to the bed, and sat upright on it, as if the robot was in standby and motionless.
"Brother, let's go, your room is right next to it."
Sen·Angus breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the stern young man disguised by Li Si.
"No, I'll stay here."
Li Si stood coldly at the door and said, "It's not you who is embarrassed when something goes wrong, but me too! Do your own thing."
"Okay then."
Sen·Angus didn't mind either, and smiled as if he were familiar with it, "By the way, brother, you are a bit unfamiliar, which base are you from?"
"Haha, me? I'm your substitute."
Li Si sneered and gave him a meaningful look.
"Substitute?"
Sen·Angus's pupils suddenly shrank, and his complexion changed slightly.
They don't have any substitutes.
If these two people are fake, that's fine. If they are real, then there is a reason why they are "substitutes."
"Is it because the incident at New York last time and this incident damaged too many people?"
Sen·Angus's mood was a little confused.
It is difficult to improve your strength in the game, and the character cannot be rebuilt in a short period of time after death, which means that those who die have to start from scratch.
If those adults are dissatisfied with their abilities, it is indeed possible to retrain a group of people to replace them, or even directly replace everyone now. This is not difficult.
Thinking of this, Sen·Angus's face looked a little ugly.
He is not a person who is very good at controlling his emotions, but he is also self-aware and did not continue to ask questions when his mind was confused. Instead, he forced a smile and said, "I see, brother, you should rest first. I have to deal with something. Let's talk about it later."
After saying that, Sen·Angus walked out of the cave.
