Chapter 7, Jungle Duel (1)
Regardless of the circumstances, our chances of victory are quite slim. Among them, there is an infantry nightmare akin to a sniper role, who is experienced and not easy to deal with. Therefore, we must not be careless with the terrain; we can only allow him to engage from the sniper position we provide, and he must be the first to be eliminated. Based on these points, we need a large number of mechanisms and traps. Hehe! ... Do you not think that with the weapons we have acquired, setting up mechanisms is a simple task? We can only allow him to engage from the sniper position we provide, and he must be the first to be eliminated. Based on these points, we need a large number of mechanisms and traps. Hehe! ... Do you not think that with the weapons we have acquired, setting up mechanisms is a simple task? ... ... ...
As a military enthusiast, Tang Tian is acutely aware of the importance of delivering a decisive blow to counter his side's weaknesses. Therefore, in the design of the mechanisms, he employs a series of interconnected designs, where each link is tied to the next, ensuring that even within the pathways of survival, there are contingencies awaiting them.
In Zhang Min's words, this damned space has one advantage: murderers do not have to serve time in prison. In the past, he lacked both time and money to engage in the development of weapons of mass destruction, although he had a theoretical understanding of the destructive power these weapons could unleash. Zhang Min once had a dream, which was to carry weapons of mass destruction to seize territory (a lingering resentment from being pursued and hacked at by waves of attackers), or to smash people's venues while wearing power armor like in the game (Fallout 2) (a lingering resentment from being frail, thin, and having empty pockets every day). Since he began to seek strength through continuous exposure to military and various other knowledge, after accumulating a chaotic mix of information, he would silently lament whenever he saw his former friends mingling with certain influential figures: "There is no future without money!"
Three men, covered in wet mud, stood atop a bonfire. Under the illumination of the flames, the primal instincts of man were stirred. "Awooo...!" Daqi let out a chilling howl, a provocative invitation for the others to join the feast.
... ...
Mike grimaced as he helped Tang Tian sit up. Under the sunlight, Tang Tian saw the Predator's dagger, spear, shoulder cannon, and other fragments lying at their feet. They appeared to be in a cave, yet Tang Tian was unaware that such a scene existed in the Predator universe, where the butterfly effect coexisted with the world of books.
Tang Tian wiped the snake's blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a rough tone, "Anyway, I've already taken down one, so count me in! But the spoils can't be taken from me anymore." After saying this, Mike and Dachi clasped their large hands together, and Tang Tian's slender palm followed suit.
He is currently engaged in a violent activity with two strong and aggressive men. Mike is an expert in mechanisms (he deduced from the Predator that the traps in the woods that night were the last ones Mike reported to Dutch). After resting for two hours, in the afternoon, the two strong men and a somewhat slender young man began to gather materials in the woods, collecting vines and branches, which were either sharpened or bent by the group to create deadly traps.
In the team, you are the leader; on the battlefield, I follow your orders...! Mike replied decisively
... ...
Tang Tian suddenly woke up in fear. Daqi and Mike, holding iron blood daggers, seemed eager to uncover the secrets within. Mike handed a wooden bowl to Tang Tian's lips, and after taking a sip of what he did not know was the blood of some animal, a strong fishy smell made Tang Tian frown. "You have been asleep for 4 hours; the aftereffects of the stimulant should have worn off by now. It is currently 11:37, so let's eat something first!" Immediately, Tang Tian noticed the corpse of a large snake behind Mike, realizing that he had just drunk snake blood.
Daqi's eyes were fixed on the flames, lost in thought, with a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth. The African American Mike looked at Tang Tian with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the dagger in his hand, and effortlessly picked up a piece of wood to carve a sharp point.
Due to his reticence and lack of interest in socializing, he is the kind of individual who exists on the fringes of the group. In his words, what is most important for a man living in this world is "money"... What is a gangster? It is a tragic profession characterized by a lack of intellect and skills, where one risks their life for a meager income, often driven by desperation. Out of ten gangsters, seven are poor, eight are unfortunate, and nine betray their brothers to the authorities, with only one Chen Haonan remaining undefeated in the Hongxing gang. After turning twenty, he enrolled in a technical school, finally managing to clear his name and reintegrate into society. However, after six or seven years of struggling, he became disillusioned with social life and found himself in this damned place.
At this stage of the plot, Daqi will not be attacked by Iron Blood, allowing Daqi and his two companions to calmly prepare the battlefield. Surely, the opposing side must also be facing considerable troubles.
In the darkness, a young man was continuously running down a dimly lit corridor, with something unknown lurking in the shadows behind him that filled him with fear. The security door in the corridor appeared exceptionally cold, and he dared not touch it, fearing that something terrifying might emerge if he were not careful. After an indeterminate amount of time running, he finally saw a light; it was an open door at the end of the corridor
The firelight in the cave illuminated the faces of three men. Tang Tian began to speak to himself, as if telling a story, regardless of whether the others were listening, sharing his deductions and analyses: "... We must acknowledge that we are at an absolute disadvantage, both in terms of weaponry and other aspects; their weapons are lethal, their concealment systems are excellent, and in terms of size, we are certainly not their match. The conclusion is that we are outmatched in both ranged and close combat. Tactically, our only option is to launch a surprise attack, but first, we must conceal ourselves well, as everyone is likely aware. ...

Tactically, our only option is to launch a surprise attack, but first, we must conceal ourselves well, as everyone is likely aware. ... Then there is the uncertainty of what kind of explosives they might be carrying, but I believe everyone understands the potential power; we must not give them any opportunity and must strike decisively. ... We should not use these weapons; there may be some tampering within them. ... We should not use these weapons; there may be some tampering within them.
The effects of the stimulant had worn off. Although Tang Tian still felt some muscle soreness, it was no longer a major issue. After jumping and resolutely consuming some snake meat, Tang Tian regained some strength. Daqi, with a somewhat grim expression, said to the two, "I plan to stay and continue fighting them...!" Mike effortlessly severed a branch as thick as an arm with a single stroke, the cut clean and smooth, as if he had not exerted much effort.
After the break, the three men smeared wet mud on their bodies and lit a pile of wood. There were no exciting conversations, only the tacit understanding among the soldiers. Although Tang Tian did not appear to have received rigorous training in the eyes of Da Qi and Mike, they were deeply impressed by his comprehension and military acumen. At the very least, they could not conceive of having a sniper take a shot from the positions they provided. Soon, the two recognized Tang Tian's cunning and ruthlessness, treating him as their little brother and occasionally teaching him some special forces knowledge.
Tang Tian felt the contents in his hand and discovered that there were some weapons, daily necessities, and a pile of gold bars. With these supplies, everyone's chances of success increased a bit, especially since the two grenades were excellent for making knee mines
He rushed into the room and shut the iron door behind him along with the room's door. The dim light in the room made him exhale heavily; perhaps only in the light do people feel safe. Suddenly, a dead face appeared, filled with unwillingness and longing.
Tang Tian followed closely behind Mike, learning as he went. After Mike completed each trap, Tang Tian would assess how to create an escape route for people to flee, and then set another trap he had learned along that escape route. Meanwhile, he applied the deadly poison from the small pouch in his belt's magazine bag onto various artificial or natural thorns. Tang Tian carefully collected these critical elements that affected the lethality of their tactics, as they were his capital for survival.
At 2:47 in the night, after completing all the mechanisms, the three individuals took a break to recover their strength
Such a complex terrain is indeed suitable for a battlefield. It seems that the battlefield chosen by Daqi, which appears to be a coincidence like in the movies, is actually quite reasonable. No wonder Daqi was able to survive the self-detonation in the midst of iron and blood. That ditch over there should be the escape route for Daqi in the end. Let's add some details to that!
Aah...! Tang Tian screamed in an incomplete male voice... Come on, fight, damn fate, https://www.hetushu.com. The one who survives must be me
Tang Tian lay on the side, recovering his strength while contemplating his bizarre encounters and the dangers he was about to face. Although Zhang Min, as a plumber, had never been on the battlefield, he was a jack-of-all-trades. He had experience in brawling, and being pushed to this extent meant it was either his death or his opponent's; he was ready to go all out. In the past, after being severely bullied at school, he became fierce and fought without regard for his own life or others'. He had once injured a bully so badly that he bit him, leaving him severely wounded. (A drop of sweat; this guy isn't a dog but is doing dog-like things; biting people...!) After that incident, he earned the nickname 'Mad Dog' and joined the honorable group of small-time ruffians.
In this damned space, human lives are worth less than those of pigs and dogs. According to Zhao Tian and their introduction, this space is akin to those transactions that buy human lives. After an interview (the first horror film), one may receive treatment that could never be attained in the real world for a lifetime. However, failure comes at the cost of one's life. In summary, this space can be described in one phrase: very vulgar and very violent
In his mind, Tang Tian meticulously calculated various possibilities and carefully searched for potential ambush points. Being in an absolutely disadvantaged position, he realized that he had never observed his surroundings so attentively before; the angle formed by the stones ahead provided a clear line of sight, making it suitable for sniping. The branches on the opposite side also represented a good sniping point, but both locations were prone to exposure. There were likely five more concealed sniping points. The angle between the rocks there was suitable for an ambush, and that decaying wooden bridge should be the place where the Iron Blood was ambushed by Daqi in the movie. The cliffside was where Daqi was located in the film, wasn't it? The branches on the opposite side also represented a good sniping point, but both locations were prone to exposure.

Holding a wooden bow carved from hardwood, Tang Tian felt a surge of passion. Perhaps this kind of experience is the life he truly desires. The boiling blood, instinctive release, stirred the essence of life and death, iron and fire. In such an environment, Tang Tian at least felt that he was truly alive, still struggling fiercely between heaven and earth, rather than gradually fading away in a city filled with humanity, unknowingly erasing his own life day by day.
I estimate the number of enemies to be between 3 and 4, but it is best to treat them as a small team of about 7 to deal with. Based on calculations, there are likely 2 pursuing us, and another 2 may be pursuing the other team. The traps we set may severely injure 1 or 2 of them, and Billy should be able to injure one as well. Considering the number of people they left to care for the injured and the other team at least taking down one, we may encounter at most 4 completely unharmed and 3 injured. The best-case scenario is that the other team eliminates both of those, so aside from possibly injured and incapacitated ones, we would face at least 3 completely unharmed enemies. Including the number of people they left to care for the injured and the other team at least taking down one, we may encounter at most 4 completely unharmed and 3 injured. The best-case scenario is that the other team eliminates both of those, so aside from possibly injured and incapacitated ones, we would face at least 3 completely unharmed enemies.
Bu ! '' Tang Tian very manfully defined the disgusting food he had just consumed in his heart, and then picked up the wooden bowl to take a few more sips.
Tang Tian felt a sense of self-admiration for the first time, realizing that a man's shoulders could support a vast sky. Looking down at the quiet yet gradually expanding chaos below, a multitude of perilous traps loomed. Tang Tian sensed that his own shoulders could also bear the weight of the sky.
In summary, what Tang Tian is doing now is to create even more insidious traps. Although Mike's skills are already quite good, Tang Tian is still contemplating how to enhance them. After all, Tang Tian feels that these mechanisms won't be able to kill those iron-blooded warriors outright; ultimately, a face-to-face melee confrontation is inevitable. This is how the plot in the original movie unfolds. He realizes that the plot in the movie carries a certain seriousness. The three individuals who jumped into the river were able to gather together precisely because that spot was the slowest flowing section of the entire river. In areas where the water flows slowly, a considerable amount of silt tends to accumulate. Fate has brought the altered plot back to its starting point, but what was once a one-on-one duel has now turned into a brawl. He recognizes that the plot in the movie indeed possesses a certain gravity. The three individuals who jumped into the river were able to come together because that location was the slowest flowing part of the river, where silt accumulates. Fate has returned the altered plot to its origin, transforming a duel into a melee.
Mike and Tang Tian searched Zhao Tian's corpse and found: a strand of silk secreted from Zhao Tian's wrist, a military dagger, a handgun, several handgun bullets, two grenades, and a black ring. Upon encountering the ring, a voice prompted Tang Tian that he had obtained a D-level item, a spatial ring, which contained 3 cubic meters of space
