Chapter 21 Ambush
After seeing the cave in front of him, Allen and others showed hesitation on their faces. Even John, who was so angry, slowed down and turned to look at the others.
Allen and others lack social experience, but it does not mean that they are fools. The caves next to these lakes are usually the entrances to underground rivers, and the suspicious actions of fjord monsters are even more certain.
Although the above-ground part is as high as three meters, it is actually a little further away from the water, so the underwater part can no longer stand, and the water inside the cave is even more in-depth. If they want to continue chasing in, it is equivalent to fighting the fjord sea monster in the water.
No matter how much Alan and others rely on Qin Lun and Donald, they would not naively think that the two of them could still cover everyone under such circumstances.
"You stay here, Donald and I will go and see!" Qin Lun greeted them and then strode to chase the fat man.
Hearing Qin Lun's words, Alan and his friends breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a clear look of guilt on their faces.
"You must be careful!" Natasha ran a few steps and shouted at Qin Lun.
Sure enough, when untrained humans face dangers and the choice of their companions, their selfish instincts will be revealed. All the ethical principles formed by human society are only based on humans' own needs for survival and reproduction.
Even though he is known as a wise and civilized person, he still cannot get rid of his selfish nature. Human nature is evil, so it should be like this! A trace of mockery flashed in Qin Lun's eyes.
Allen and others may think that they are burdensome and they will not have any effect when chasing them. However, this is just an excuse. No matter how small the power is, it will not have any effect. Sometimes the turning point of the battle situation lies in the addition of this little bit of power.
They finally followed the steps given by Qin Lun and did not chase them anymore. It was nothing more than a result of weighing interests. They convinced themselves with various reasons, and on the scale of their lives and companions, one end overwhelmed the other end, that's all.
Qin Lun did not despise them for this. In his eyes, this is human nature. People like him or Hill are abnormal. Their paranoia and values are a distorted pathology, and it is also the main reason why people regard them as non-human.
The analysis of Allen and others only stayed in Qin Lun's mind for a moment, and then he focused on the fat man in front of him, with a meaningful smile on his face.
Several fjord monsters quickly approached the cave. When the water reached its knees, they immediately reached the water, and their speed suddenly increased several times. Most of their bodies were hidden in the water, and the spikes and long scale tails on their backs made S-shaped ripples on the water surface.
Fanny and Stanthan were carried by two sea monsters on their backs, their mouths and noses exposed to the water, and their sometimes slightly undulating chests showed that they were still alive. The sea monsters seemed to have consciously kept their lives. If it weren't for storing fresh ingredients, the intention would be quite sinister.
"Is it bait?" Qin Lun's eyes flashed and he thought with a little interest.
Donald chased him very quickly. With his obese body, he was not pulled down by the sea monster who used swimming postures, and even slightly closer. However, when he and Qin Lun chased him to the vicinity of the cave, the two were surprised to find that there were actually several small sampans at the entrance of the cave.
These small sampans are very old, unlike props placed by travel agencies for cave sightseeing, but rather like things that were abandoned here before. They are tied to the reef at the entrance of the cave. Although there is a lot of water in the boat, it seems that the bottom of the boat is not leaking, and it is still floating tenaciously on the water surface.
"Chris, hurry up!" Donald did not jump into the sampan filled with lake water, but instead grabbed one side of the sampan and shook it hard.
At this time, the fat man showed great power that was different from ordinary people, causing the sampan to rise almost horizontally and vertically. Most of the lake water inside was poured out, and the remaining little bit had no effect.
However, Qin Lun behind him showed an extremely hesitant attitude at this time, and did not seem to want to follow Donald into the cave. After seeing this, the fat man's eyes fainted. He stopped waiting for him, and chased him alone while paddling a sampan, and disappeared into the dark cave in a short while.
It was not until Donald's figure disappeared that Qin Lun accelerated his movements and chased after him like a fat man.
This cave near the wall of Cadillac is very deep. There are no cracks on the top of the cave, so the sun cannot be projected. After entering the cave for a hundred meters, the light will be dim like the night.
There is no contact with sunlight here, and the temperature is several degrees lower than the outside world. Due to the temperature difference, a layer of mist is filled with the cave, which makes people feel cold.
Qin Lun's left eye slowly appeared in the Yin-Yang fish pattern. In conjunction with the detection of the gaze halo, he could basically control the situation within 50 meters around him. Of course, compared with other mission worlds, these two apostle abilities have obviously been weakened to varying degrees.
Donald's sampan had no idea where he went. There was silence around him, leaving only the sound of dripping water from the top of the cave and the sound of paddling paddling. After walking forward for about two or three hundred meters again, Qin Lun finally made a new discovery.
The cave was at the end, and the front was blocked by a mountain wall. Whether it was the fjord monster coming in front or Donald, there was no sign, and only the fat man was left with a sampan rippling on the edge of the cave wall.
Qin Lun's eyes flashed. The cave was already quite low here, with a top of less than two meters high. Using pupil technique to see through the water, you can find that the water depth has exceeded 50 meters. The wall of the cave that blocked the way in front disappeared more than 30 meters under the water, revealing the entrance to the river.
The Fjord Monster and Donald should have entered the Dark River. Qin Lun could vaguely guess that the length of the Dark River in the drowning part would not be too long, or the Fjord Monster had a way to ensure the survival of the hostages, otherwise the two hostages would be dead now.
Although this speculation is unreasonable, the fjord monster lures the two of them here and can no longer worry about the survival rate of the bait, from the plot point of view, this is possible.
You should know that although Qin Lun's participation has changed the plot line of Wilson's team and the candidates for the death are no longer the same, the later plot line has not been damaged much, and the two original plot characters, Fanny and Stantham, should not die so easily.
"In this way, according to logical reasoning, Donald may have fought with the Fjord Sea Monster..." Qin covered his face with one hand, and a sneer appeared on Lun's mouth, "Excluding the extremely small probability that the fat man is a high-level powerful man, he can only be a reincarnationist, not an apostle!"
Thinking of this, Qin Lun suddenly felt that he had no interest in the next development and sighed heavily: "It's really, the fat man is too anxious. Should I step in? This is too obvious, there is no sense of art at all!"
"Forget it, it's better to meet the return conditions first. If it's too boring here, you can always return to the broken starry sky immediately." Qin Lun shrugged and jumped into the lake.
After arriving here, Qin Lun basically solved the puzzles on Donald, and he realized that the accuracy rate should be very high.
This fat man is not an apostle, but a brave elite of the Reincarnation. He did not choose the identity of a federal agent or reporter like others, but participated in the plot indirectly. Instead, he boarded the exploded plane and directly contacted the main plot characters such as Allen.
The fat man's plan was very successful until Arcadia National Park. However, the development of things is often not subject to human will. After meeting Qin Lun, he found that his plan was greatly obstructed.
First of all, the Wilson team in the second plot line. On the night of the attack of the Fjord Monster, Susan and John, the secondary characters of the two teams did not meet, resulting in the death of the main characters of Wilson and Luke of the other team, and the unknown factor of Qin Lun was added.
The Wilson team was crippled, which would definitely affect the completion of the reincarnation mission. Fatty's initial plan was accidentally destroyed by Qin Lun. However, at this time, Fatty was not sure whether Qin Lun was a reincarnation who was hostile to the plot line.
When Qin Lun killed a fjord monster before and showed his intention to not pursue fjord monster anymore, the fat man probably determined him to be an enemy at that time. After all, with the current loss of personnel from the two plot teams, if Fanny and Stanthan die, their mission may face collapse.
Once it is confirmed that Donald belongs to the reincarnation party, other puzzles will be solved.
The fat man should not be alone, he must have a few companions hiding in secret to help him. At this point, following the direction of the fjord monsters running away, it is not difficult for the fat man's companions to find this cave in advance and then ambush the cave in front of the drowning part of the dark river.
This can explain why Donald chased the fjord sea monster into the cave regardless of the help of other reincarnations. He didn't have to be afraid of a few fjord sea monsters. His companions had never been on the plane and would not be attracted by the attention of the god of death.
Donald's only flaw is that he acted too anxiously, which could easily arouse Qin Lun's suspicion. However, he thought he had no choice but to avoid the sight of Allen and others and have a "internal fight between reincarnators" with Qin Lun. There is probably no more suitable venue than here.
Of course, there is also a very small probability that Donald belongs to the advanced reincarnation, and he is confident that he will resist the law of causality of the game of death and save Fanny and Stantham.
This probability is obviously almost non-existent, and even if he is trying to dig deep into the world plot line, there is no need to take such risks.
At this time, just bypassing the nearly 100-meter drowning section in the cave river, a large cave reappeared here, and a half-moon-shaped open space appeared on the right side of the cave river.
There were four people sitting or standing in this open space, one of the fat guys sitting upright on the rocks with a big golden knife, which was Donald!
But at this moment, the fat man had a ferocious face and a cold look, and he didn't have the stupid appearance before.
Chapter completed!
