Conan quickly rushed out of the camp with a dozen secret society militants and came to the edge of the dense forest filled with smoke. At this time, there were still sporadic gunshots. Since they could not observe the situation in front, they could only temporarily slow down and approach the jungle little by little despite the gunfire. But all they found were a few charred trees and no one there at all.
Maklovsky separated from the crowd and came closer. He looked at the footprints and burning trees at the scene. He was silent for a while and suddenly kicked the tree next to him.
"What?" Conan whispered.
"They escaped, damn, I don't know how they noticed it. These damn mercenaries, they are really cunning. They must have realized that we might have reinforcements, so they evacuated early. In order to avoid us noticing, they also They are here to spread suspicion and make us think they are still here." Maklovsky took a deep breath and said helplessly.
"No way, we heard gunshots just now." Top said suspiciously.
Marklovsky pointed to the bullet chains and shell cases that were burnt black on the tree branches and said, "They hung the bullet chains on the tree branches in advance, and then set fire to evacuate. When the whole tree was burned, The bullet primer was activated by heat, causing an explosion, which we mistakenly thought was gunfire. It would take at least half an hour to forty-five minutes for a tree to burn to its current state. This means that they had evacuated at least half an hour ago ¡±
Conan took a closer look and fell silent. He had nothing to say about Marklovsky's analytical ability.
"They fled to the north. Can't we just chase them now?" a secret society militant whispered.
"Their response ship has arrived and is now on the north side of the island. If we want to get there, we have to cross most of the island, which will take at least half an hour. By the time we arrive, they have disappeared without a trace." Conan Shaking his head, "Maklovsky, it seems that your suffocation plan was a little bit wrong. If you hadn't deliberately concealed some relevant information, maybe I could have reminded you in time. But this time, I'm afraid it was your pride that made you lose." . They did not choose to continue the confrontation with us on the island, but chose to run away. "
Marklovsky frowned, "This is not very logical. I never thought they would give up before. I have carefully studied that Rick's information before and conducted a complete behavior and personality analysis on him. This person He has a strong character and is not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Although he is cautious, he is not afraid of taking risks. He should not give up so easily."
"You can't say that. Anyone who dares to take risks has a limit. If he knew that this was a hunting plan against him, do you think he would continue to take risks?" Conan shook his head. "Now it seems that we failed to seize the opportunity and he escaped. However, although we failed to annihilate them here, at least we did not suffer any losses. This time we did not lose, at most it was a draw."
"There is no draw, you either lose or you win." Marklovsky shouted sternly, "It's not that easy for them to leave alive. Top, your people are familiar with the terrain. Let them search the north side of the island to identify them. Everyone has been evacuated. Conan, let's go back to camp. I will notify the reinforcements coming to Chandra Island to postpone their arrival and let them spread out and search the waters near Chandra Island. If we encounter a fleet of these mercenaries, we will Completely eliminate them. We cannot destroy them on the island, but we must also let them die at sea."
Conan nodded, turned around and followed Marklovsky. The pirates were completely relieved when they learned that the enemy had left. Top led dozens of people to search the jungle to the north.
Arriving at the camp, Conan looked at Maklovsky and said, "I just asked the brothers on the observation deck that the mercenary fleet has set off to the west, probably towards Somalia. Your backup The fleet has not arrived yet, and the plan to intercept them at sea may not be feasible.
¡°Chandra is close to the southernmost part of Somalia, and further south is Kenya. No pirates dare to go there. There is a US naval base there. Only pig brains would show off on the territory of the US Navy. Those pirates are only interested in profit, but their brains are not pigs. "
"I didn't count on them either." Maklovsky whispered, "I was just pretending."
"Pretending?" Conan said unexpectedly, "Why?"
"You know, Conan, I have a bold idea. Maybe their departure is just an illusion. Of course, I am not saying that their evacuation is a fake. I am saying that they may use the withdrawal of most of the mercenaries as an illusion to confuse us. . And at the same time, an elite team is left behind. Maybe there are not many people, because it is easy to be exposed when there are many people." Maklovsky whispered.
"Leave one behindTeam? Conan asked doubtfully, "Why?" "
"In order to continue the mission, when we focus on chasing their fleet, the island's defense will be relaxed, and they will have the opportunity to kill us." Marklovsky shook his head, "I know this idea It¡¯s crazy, but I can¡¯t help but think that. Because I don¡¯t know why, but my gut tells me they can¡¯t give up so easily.¡±
"You must be overthinking it. Several of their teams surrounded us and couldn't accomplish anything. I don't believe they would have a chance to accomplish it after evacuating most of them. These mercenaries are not stupid either. It is true that if a few people are left behind, it is very easy to die, but the possibility of continuing the mission is almost non-existent. No one would make such a decision." Conan shook his head.
"I think so too, but I always have a feeling in my heart that the danger has not left. And whether you admit it or not, our originally tense nerves have begun to relax involuntarily as the enemy's response ship leaves." Maklovsky whispered. "What if some of them haven't left? What if they are hiding nearby at this time, preparing to give us the most fatal blow?"
Although he believed that this possibility did not exist, Conan was still shocked by Marklovsky's hypothesis and broke into a cold sweat. He forced a smile and said, "If that's the case, these mercenaries are too scary. However, I personally still think this should be impossible."
"I think so too, but I'm not as sure as you. So I just deliberately asked Top's people to leave. On the other hand, I pretended to be depressed and acted like I thought those mercenaries had left. Let you follow me and a few people Return to the camp. If the situation I mentioned really exists, then the lax defense of this camp will be their best chance. And you are sitting at the window, the most vulnerable position to be attacked." Maklovsky He looked at Conan and smiled.
