In the woods.
Two figures were standing at the foot of the rock wall.
One of them had something carved on the rock face, while the other stood silently watching from the side.
"I mean, it's just an evacuation, why make it so complicated!" A thought echoed in my mind.
"After all, there's an extra Sixth Tier Bronze Skull Beast coming along this time, and our destination will take several days to reach. If we continue to retreat directly like Captain Lin and the others did before, we might get caught up by the Bronze Skull Beast halfway there," Qin Yu thought to herself.
"Even so, isn't this way too complicated?" the voice in my head complained helplessly. "It's divided into sections for the route, there's a separate route, and then you guys have to wait there at the end..."
There was no immediate response; Qin Yu looked at Yu Yanhui was carving intelligence information on the rock wall in front of her.
This evacuation has indeed become quite complicated...
To avoid being caught by potential Calamity Beast, they didn't directly give the final evacuation destination. Instead, they guided the warriors forward by providing segmented routes, like this one. And... the routes they provided were actually fake!
After all, if the true route were revealed, then with the strength of Sixth Tier Calamity Beast, as long as it didn't take three or four days to find the clues, it could easily catch up with them, who were dominated by warriors who couldn't fly.
The outcome will be self-evident!
This is also why she and Yu Yanhui are here.
The two need to travel along a fake route, so that any Calamity Beast that might catch up from behind will follow this route, giving the real evacuation team enough time to escape.
Of course, they didn't always give the wrong answer.
At the last intelligence point, a distant destination will be given, and then you will wait.
After confirming that enough time has been spent, the remaining intelligence will be corrected, and then we will head to rejoin the main force.
Captain Lin is over there.
She also had her own tasks: first, to deal with the unavoidable Calamity Beast encountered along the way during the evacuation; and second, to prevent the Calamity Beast from finding them through other means. Although she couldn't stop them alone if that were the case, at least someone was there to direct and oversee things.
"No matter what, as long as we achieve our ultimate goal..." Qin Yu silently thought to herself.
"Well, even so..."
"Slap slap..."
Suddenly, the sound of clapping came from above.
Qin Yu turned her head and saw Yu Yanhui clapping her hands, taking a few steps back, and looking at the stone wall with a smile on her lips.
"Alright, that means we've set up another intelligence point!"
She turned her head and looked over, and saw that a series of characters were clearly carved on the stone wall.
"Due north, 50km, red band..."
The first two are self-explanatory, but the last one refers to hanging a red cloth strip near the target location to remind the soldiers where the intelligence is.
After all, if there's only one direction and distance, even if other soldiers accurately locate the approximate position described, they'll just be staring blankly at a large area.
It's not that they definitely won't find the intelligence, but asking them to search would be a huge waste of their time. They can't possibly spend a day or two searching for intelligence in every place they visit, can they?
Turning her gaze back, Qin Yu looked at Yu Yanhui.
Let's head to the next location.
"Um!"
Yu Yanhui nodded vigorously.
The two of them left behind three or four more intelligence points along the way, and finally stopped at the fifth intelligence point.
Looking at the information displayed ahead, indicating that they had returned to their original space, Yu Yanhui nodded in satisfaction.
Then, seemingly still uneasy, he turned his head away.
" Qin Yu, do you think that if the Calamity Beast really come later, they will go back as we predicted?"
Qin Yu also looked at the last piece of intelligence in front of her. She paused for a moment and said:
"Whatever the outcome, we've done what we could. Now, we just have to wait!"
Hearing Qin Yu's words, Yu Yanhui, but still looked at the last piece of information with some unease.
"I hope it will succeed!"
The two stopped on a mountain a little further away and waited.
at the same time.
A certain intelligence point several places ahead.
Several enormous figures stood there.
The wolf-like Calamity Beast cautiously glanced at the figure beside it.
There sat the Bronze Skull Beast, quietly observing the information Inscription the human in front of him.
At its feet lay a human figure, covered in blood and barely recognizable as human.
It wasn't very smooth, but after searching for several humans, they finally found one who couldn't bear the pain and was willing to help them analyze information.
And so, they caught up smoothly all the way.
However, this smooth sailing lasted until just now, when it came to an end!
After hearing the human's analysis once again, the Bronze Skull Beast did not act as before, but instead sat silently in place.
After hesitating for a moment, it asked:
"Lord Bronze Skull Beast, shall we... not continue pursuing those humans?"
There was no response; the Bronze Skull Beast remained silently staring at the stone slab in front of it.
Time passed by, second by second.
Just as the wolf-like Calamity Beast were pondering whether to press the matter further, the Bronze Skull Beast suddenly spoke.
"You've never encountered a situation like this before, where you have to chase after someone the whole way, right?"
The wolf-like Calamity Beast paused for a moment, but quickly nodded in understanding:
"Yes, in the previous encounters, apart from leaving information twice when they migrated to this space, the humans only left information once, recording which direction they were going to retreat!"
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent again, just like before.
The wolf-like Calamity Beast hesitated, glancing at the Bronze Skull Beast.
"Lord Bronze Skull Beast?"
Beside him, another bear-like Calamity Beast also looked at the Bronze Skull Beast with some confusion, wondering what was going on all of a sudden.
Without explanation, the Bronze Skull Beast silently stared at the evacuation intelligence left behind by the humans before it.
After a long pause, he said:
"Never mind them, those humans... no, or rather, the main force of those humans, isn't ahead!"
The two Calamity Beast paused for a moment, then subconsciously exchanged a glance.
"Lord Bronze Skull Beast, how did you know?" the wolf-like Calamity Beast asked cautiously.
"How far have we flown today?" the Bronze Skull Beast asked in a deep voice.
"Uh... maybe a few hundred kilometers?!" the wolf-like Calamity Beast said somewhat uncertainly.
As it spoke, it looked at the Bronze Skull Beast with a puzzled expression, somewhat confused as to why it was asking this question.
No matter how far they run, as long as they eventually catch those humans, isn't that enough?
Beside them, the bear-like Calamity Beast seemed to share the same thought, their eyes also filled with doubt.
