Chapter 4, Escape in the Dense Forest (3)

"No! If we do not kill it, none of us can walk out of the canyon alive. It will kill us one by one," the major stated unequivocally. "That's right! We must kill it, and I will also avenge Crane Gan!" Ramire said.

The newcomers nodded in understanding. Along the way, Tang Tian rarely engaged in conversation with them unless he encountered something of great importance, which gave them a sense of reliability.

Ramirez held the metal wire used for setting traps and said: "It can see our traps"

"Perhaps it is some kind of invisible monster that we do not know about, which only exists here, anyway it is not human. Alright, Mike, contact headquarters and request support, call for a helicopter. Mike, Mike!" It was only after calling Mike twice that he came to his senses. "Yes, sir."

As the plot unfolds, Mike is the first to arrive at the scene and discovers a transparent forest of leaves. In a moment of eye contact, Mike is astonished to find an unknown entity with a pair of glowing green eyes. Startled, he quickly regains his composure and opens fire into the jungle, hitting the Predator. The other team members rush over and, upon seeing the situation, also begin firing into the jungle.

The immense inertia of the plot and its unpredictability are currently not within Tang Tian's considerations! Since the plot has not yet been altered by the reincarnators, the immense inertia of the plot dictates that the Predator will continue his hunting game tomorrow, until he has played everyone to death.

Daqi: "Please continue."

After playing through "The Other Long Life 2," Tang Tian can defeat the final boss with a Gauss pistol and fifty rounds of ammunition without losing any health. Additionally, as a military enthusiast and a die-hard fan of "Ultimate Assassin," he has developed a targeted strategy based on his recollections of the Predator film series.

Suddenly, Tang Tian seemed to think of something and stopped everyone, analyzing the situation: "If we let the Predator take away Breen's body now, we will be in danger. Also, we need to get rid of all unnecessary items. Tomorrow is a crucial day. The Dachi team will set traps first. When the Predator breaks free from the net, Little Black Mike will chase the Predator along with the Black Dragon. No matter what, as long as everyone abandons their weapons and runs with Anna, we will be fine. Do you understand?"

Set up a defensive position on the ridge and prepare all explosive materials. Bring him along; we will take him with us. The major finished speaking and instructed us to take the body with us.

Facing his uncooperative body, Tang Tian bit down hard on the tip of his own tongue. The momentary excruciating pain quickly restored his control over his body. Although his fingers still trembled slightly, he was now able to carefully press his fingers against the button of the detonation device.

Dachi asked Little Black Mike: "What did you see?" Little Black Mike replied somewhat bewilderedly: "I... I saw it." All the members of Dachi's team were puzzled!

Everyone has realized that they have become the prey of this invisible and bizarre killer, and all are gathering together in fear to discuss countermeasures

As night fell, everyone stood guard at their respective posts, either cleaning their weapons or quietly resting with their hats pulled low. The newcomers huddled together, cautiously observing the surroundings. Although the Iron Blood did not find any vulnerabilities in the Reincarnators today, tonight would be entirely different; they might just be eliminated.

According to the scenario tomorrow, although the probability of the Predator being killed is only 50%, the chance of obtaining the opponent's equipment is also 50%. All of this entirely depends on whether the Predator will fall into which vine trap tomorrow

In fact, Tang Tian's plan is to hunt the Iron-Blooded Warrior tomorrow. To be honest, Zhang Min, who is also Tang Tian, harbors deep resentment towards the equipment of the Iron-Blooded Warrior. In his daily life, Tang Tian is a near-obsessive single-player game enthusiast, with his most esteemed game being "Fallout 2," also known as "The Wasteland 2," in which he has frequently engaged in killing and gun theft.

As night approached, the team found a defensible location to set up camp. They then moved to the hillside to lay landmines, tripwires, and various other traps along the nearby thoroughfare. The team was confident that the enemy could only approach through the branches, and they also set traps among the branches. Tang Tian, the novice jack-of-all-trades, took this opportunity to learn from the African American Mike how to design and create traps. It must be said that laying mines is a task suited for rough individuals. Tang Tian, a theoretical expert and action novice, cautiously learned the basics of these special forces tasks.

"Well then, everyone, let us reinforce the defensive positions. We must kill it!" said the major

Everyone is quietly waiting, anticipating its appearance. Anna begins to recount the terrifying stories she saw about that monster when she was a child, which could easily be considered a thrilling tale.

Dachi: "We can injure it, and then we can kill it. I need your help, monster? Perhaps... but whatever kind of monster killed my warriors must pay the price!" Major Arno initially spoke as if to himself, but gradually his voice became more resolute.

It is an invisible monster. When I was young, I heard about it. One year, the men from our area went hunting, but none of them returned. Later, a pile of skinned corpses was found, and the state of death was extremely tragic. It is like a hunter, killing only one person at a time, and it skins the spoils. It resembles some ancient sacrificial ritual

Tang Tianxin thought: Is this the fear of facing unknown enemies

As night fell, Tang Tian secretly informed the newcomers in the team, urging them to sleep soundly, for tonight the target of the Predator was the corpse of Brian. They needed to conserve their strength for tomorrow's escape. Although Jiang, the chubby one, was displeased with Tang Tian, his instinct for self-preservation compelled him to obediently follow Tang Tian's instructions. This was because Tang Tian had revealed to him a brutally harsh truth: in the second installment of "Predator," the hunting order of the Predators is arranged from the weakest to the strongest. Despite his dissatisfaction with Tang Tian, Jiang's desire to survive led him to comply, as he understood that the weakest newcomers like them might merely serve as appetizers for the enemy, easily disposed of at will.

Billy: "Like a hunter"

Then the members of Team Dachi approached the captive "Anna." Dachi pulled Anna's arm and shouted, "What did you see in the picture book yesterday?" The team's translator, "Ramirez," quickly translated into Spanish!

Daqi: "He kills one of us every time..."

Daqi: "This is not a game!"

Under Daqi's leadership, everyone began to collect the surrounding vines to make traps. During the process of making the traps, Tang Tian quietly reduced the materials in his remote-controlled bomb, bringing its power down to approximately the range of three hand grenades. He then wrapped it in wet mud and discreetly hung it in the right corner of the trap net, partially buried underground. It is presumed that the electromagnetic waves emitted by the remote control of the bomb still possess some degree of penetration.

The foliage ahead of the two squads was swiftly destroyed by the firepower of the teams, and it was not until Daqi signaled for everyone to stop that calm was restored in the forest. Tang Tian cautiously held his AK, remaining vigilant, while his mind was constantly pondering how to maximize their chances of survival. The primary ability of the Predator in the film is its invisibility, which grants it an absolute advantage in the complex terrain of the rainforest, making it nearly impossible to detect. However, it can locate the squad at any time through thermal detection, turning this into a completely asymmetric war.

"Major, you see there are no explosives on him, but he has a hole burned through by high temperatures, his organs have been incinerated, and the area around the wound is charred with no bleeding," Billy said after examining the wound. "We didn't hit anything! Nothing at all!" Mike said.

Di Long: "You are wasting your time"

"No! That is impossible. We just need to keep moving forward, and by leaving this place, we can reach the rendezvous point. The helicopter will not wait for us," Dillon protested.

As night fell, everyone, exhausted from the day, was resting in silence. Suddenly—whoosh—a bright light flashed by. "Damn it, something triggered the trap, a flare!" Someone shouted, though it was unclear who. Meanwhile, Brian's close friend, Mac, had taken down a wild boar with a dagger, which left the inexperienced newcomers, including Tang Tian, in awe. When the group finally snapped back to reality from their laughter, they realized that the sleeping bag containing Brian's body was missing.

After carefully inspecting the trap, Daqi discovered that there were no anomalies with the books. As he was on his way back, preparing to return to his hiding spot, the trap behind him suddenly activated

The major raised his head, looked around for a long time, and said firmly: "I understand now, it is relying on these trees! It is walking in the trees, not on the ground! That is why it has evaded all our traps"

Silently climbing for a long time, the morning mist hung in the leaf forest, while the noisy birds awakened from their night’s slumber. Tang Tian's nerves were taut as he listened carefully to the sounds around him. Perhaps it was an illusion or a psychological effect, but suddenly Tang Tian felt the sounds near his team vanish. A strong sense of crisis struck his heart like a heavy hammer, sending an involuntary shiver through his right hand that held the remote control. The sudden change left Tang Tian clearly at a loss.

In a world filled with radiation, monsters, technology, drugs, despair, and violence, Tang Tian learned many things. He learned how to boldly take stimulants at critical moments, how to allocate his skill tree, how to complete tasks using the most suitable methods, and how to develop targeted strategies against various types of monsters

Daqi: "Perhaps it cannot see the surrounding plants"

Anna: "It will change color, like a chameleon, using the jungle as cover"

After the bullets in Mike's firearm were exhausted, he picked up the multi-barreled machine gun next to Brian's corpse and began to fire wildly. The Reincarnation Squad, upon hearing the gunfire, quickly rushed over and then aimed their weapons to unleash a rapid barrage of fire into the dense forest ahead

Gradually feeling that the surroundings were too quiet, the captain slowly crawled out from his hiding place and stood up, making his way toward the trap. As the critical moment approached, Tang Tian became even more anxious, his hands trembling more, yet his eyes remained fixed on the trap. When he saw the captain carefully step onto the trap, Tang Tian felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest

The prey is hooked

Di Long: "Are you saying that Brain and Hawkins were killed by that damn lizard? Nonsense"

Brayen, clutching a multi-barreled machine gun, was continuously searching. He was struck hard when he discovered that the hedgehog had let its guard down. Suddenly, a mysterious heavy blow hit the side of his face, causing blood to splatter. Following that, a blue plasma shot through the dense forest and struck his back. "Puff!" The ion bullet that penetrated his body incinerated and evaporated most of his chest cavity, ... high-temperature fragments of internal organs and red blood exploded out ... ! Following that, a blue plasma shot through the dense forest and struck his back. "Puff!"

Each person present expressed their views on this attack, when suddenly a piercing roar echoed through the forest. It was the sound made by Iron Blood during its healing, also signaling Iron Blood's declaration of revenge

Anna: "I do not know what it is, it ... ... "

A strong premonition made him feel tense, which was not a good sign! Tang Tian constantly reminded himself of this, yet his hands continued to tremble involuntarily. ... What to do! ... ... What to do! Tang Tian felt increasingly anxious; although his hands were shaking, his mind was still able to think. The oppressive atmosphere around him and the intense premonition caused his hands to tremble even more violently.

Among the members of the Reincarnation Squad, the student Qian Yong seemed to want to say something but was quickly stopped by Zhang Zhongyi. After glaring at Qian Yong, Zhang Zhongyi made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet. When Da Qi looked at Zhang Zhongyi with a questioning gaze, Zhang Zhongyi sighed and shook his head, saying: "We have never encountered such a situation before. I cannot defeat an enemy I do not understand. We need to learn more about our enemy, after all, I admit that our enemy is very strong"

Anna: "Yesterday you injured it, and I discovered the blood it shed."

After setting up the trap, everyone took their positions in ambush. The location chosen for the ambush was excellent; if the enemy wanted to attack the squad, they would have to either pass through the trap-laden path or enter from above. However, the group kept their eyes fixed on the branches overhead, and as soon as there was any significant movement of the branches, the several automatic rifles on the ground would unleash a barrage of bullets in that direction.

Relax, relax... calm your breathing... the Predator is not frightening... he is just like a strong white man, I understand everything about them, relax... relax!

Through the calculation of logical probabilities, after being injured by the Predator yesterday, the chance of tracking and killing it fell below 10%. In the evening, when the Predator seized the body, it stuffed a bomb into the corpse of the victim, and the probability of detonating the bomb to kill the Predator after it took the body was 30%, with a severe injury probability of around 80%. However, there was also the possibility of losing the opponent's equipment.
