The big fish let out a sorrowful cry in mid-air. It could no longer care about the gray face of its prey lying on the ground. Its huge body twisted in mid-air and fell to the side, right next to the team member. The team member was waiting for the countdown to his death. With his eyes closed, he felt a huge vibration next to him. Countless dust and sand flew into the air and poured on his body. Then, a fishy smell rushed into his nose.
After all, he was a veteran who had been through the fires of war. The team member immediately came back to his senses and jumped up like a rabbit. Without even looking at the direction, he lifted his legs and ran. He absolutely refused to look at the big fish that was struggling on the ground behind him.
The team member was not in the right state of mind at the moment. The only thing he remembered was to run towards the military vehicle …
The other people who were hiding in the dark did not feel relieved because the team member had escaped death. This was because the team member was like a headless fly rushing towards the trap area.
The pitfall area was not as isolated as the one on the island in the middle of the lake. Instead, it was a large area. With enough manpower and suitable tools, dozens of pitfalls were stacked in front of the formation like fish scales. Each pitfall was seven meters long and three meters wide. The pitfalls were of different depths, but all of them were filled with barbed steel spears. Once one fell into one of them, the big fish would not be able to escape, and the people would not be able to survive either.
Dozens of traps had turned the area into a zone of death. The only place that could be marked as safe was a safe passage made out of lime. To a normal person, as long as they walked on the lime path, they would be absolutely safe. However, the team member couldn't see the lime path and continued to rush into the pit.
Just as the team member was about to jump into the trap area, a sharp whistling sound came from a crossbow arrow. It pierced through his trousers and firmly nailed it to the ground.
"Plop …" The team member was pinned to the ground by his pants and fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. When he raised his head to look around, less than 20 centimeters in front of him, he saw the red danger signal of the trap area. He broke out in a cold sweat. In just a short moment, he had experienced two near-death experiences.
Needless to say, the arrow was shot by Zhang Xiaoqiang. The two arrows had saved him twice. The big fish that was chasing him was still struggling on the ground, and it seemed that it was about to die. The Rat King's teeth were sharp, and the force of the pulley was great. The arrow was deeply embedded in the skull of the big fish, and it was killed in one shot.
The team member was still tearing at his trousers when he heard his comrade's shout. His heart suddenly tightened. Was there more than one big fish behind him?
As if possessed by a god, the team member yelled and jumped up. Rip … Half of his trouser leg was nailed to the ground, and the team member didn't dare to turn around. Half of his knee was exposed, and he jumped onto the limestone path. In the blink of an eye, he ran to his teammate's side, and then fell to the ground, unable to move an inch.
"Be on guard …" Huang Quan shouted, and the others' attention was diverted from the dying big fish. Together, they looked at the big fish in front of them. More than a dozen big fish rushed towards them at high speed, and without any hesitation, they rushed into the trap area one after another …
"Crack crack crack …" The three splints could not bear the weight of the big fish, and they all broke into pieces. Wood chips flew everywhere, and dust and sand rose. The big fish fell into the pit one after another, and their cries could be heard from the trap.
The big fish came first, and some came later. The strange scene of the big fish in front was seen by the big fish behind them. A few of the smaller ones were slightly hesitant, and they didn't dare to rush forward. The bigger ones didn't have so many scruples, and they all slapped the ground with their tails, causing the ground to tremble. Like the first big fish, they jumped forward. They wanted to jump over their own kind that was struggling in the trap, and continue to chase after them.
"Boom …" The big fish that jumped at the front was unlucky, and it fell straight into the big pit. The two broken splints rolled in the air and fell far away. The moment the big fish smashed into the big pit, its body was pierced by countless spears. Under the severe pain, the big fish burst out all its potential, and its whole body bounced out of the big pit.
"Bang …" The big fish smashed into the limestone road at the side of the pit, and it struggled. Even if it escaped from the pit, it couldn't escape the fate of being trapped to death. The steel spears didn't just have barbs. Wang Le was afraid that it was not safe, so he welded dozens of sharp steel spears in a trap together with a frame. The big fish jumped to the ground with the heavy frame, and the steel spears with barbs fixed it in place. Every time it struggled, the big fish could feel severe pain. After a cry, the big fish didn't dare to move, and it hung on the steel spear frame, opening and closing its mouth.
Except for a few, most of the big fish fell into the trap and were trapped to death, unable to move. The few big black fish that fell in the thickest part of the trap were frightened, and they turned around, trying to escape.
The three Fierce Warriors drew a big arc in the air, bypassing the trap area, and rushed towards the big fish. The three heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and three long light chains passed through the short space, shooting at the big fish's head. The big fish struggled to move forward in the storm of bullets. They had already lost their courage, and they didn't dare to fight back. They just wanted to pass through the sand that made their scales uncomfortable, and return to the vast lake.
The members of the three Fierce Warriors gradually became more courageous. Seeing that the big fish ignored them, they drove closer and closer, and the heavy machine guns almost shot at them from close range. Countless bullets fell on the big fish's head, and flesh and blood splattered, and scales peeled off. In the end, even the bone pieces flew out, and the clear brain matter scattered everywhere. The big fish seemed to be hit by a million volts of electricity, and its body bounced a few meters high on the ground, and finally fell, twitching slightly.
The first one …
The second one …
The last one …
The market area outside the camp was bustling and noisy as usual. Stalls were set up, peddlers were peddling, and people were strolling around. Those who risked their lives to steal rice were still courting death.
The seemingly prosperous market area had a different kind of atmosphere today. It was the vigilance of the patrolling armed police, the absent-mindedness of the policemen who no longer paid attention to the poor, and the 12.7mm heavy machine guns that were rearranged on the wall of the camp. It seemed that something was wrong, and only the sensitive people could feel that something was wrong. The others were still busy with their own work.
"Vroom vroom vroom …" A light roar filled the market area, and not long after, the roar of the engine gradually suppressed the noisy voices of the people in the market. People looked outside together.
Standing at the top of the wall, Zhang Huai'an was wearing a suit and a pair of sunglasses. He was holding a cigar and looking at the market, as if he was a rich man who was inspecting his property. In fact, the pure cotton shirt under Zhang Huai'an's suit had long been wet and dried several times by his sweat. He wore sunglasses because he didn't want others to see his anxious eyes.
The object of his anxiety was the convoy that set off early in the morning. Since morning, he had been staying on the wall, waiting for the convoy to come back. He had never seen the so-called shoal of fish. He only saw a big black fish, a giant black fish. That big fish left a deep impression on him, and he was very worried. If it was not a small fish, but a shoal of giant black fish, he really didn't know how many people would be able to escape.
