Chapter 9 Close

Zhong Xi led the team and continued to move forward, but this time the speed was not the same as before. Zhong Xi stopped from time to time. Sometimes he grabbed a pinch from the turned-up soil and gently twisted it in his hand, and sometimes picked up a broken branch from the roadside and looked at it carefully.

Duan Peng followed Zhong Xi closely and observed Zhong Xi's every move, and even learned from Zhong Xi to look like Zhong Xi, trying to distinguish the differences.

The sky is approaching evening, and the light in the forest has darkened again. Zhong Li, who followed at the end, has shown an impatient look. "Brother, are you wrong? Why haven't you been chasing it all afternoon? Didn't you say that it's close?"

"What do you know? It's because it's close to us that we can't rush up recklessly. Zhong Xi was observing, and Zhong Li's sudden question interrupted his thoughts. He reprimanded impatiently, "The three of us rushed up and it was not enough to stuff the robot's teeth."

Being scolded by Zhong Xi, Zhong Li tilted the corners of his mouth twice and stood aside honestly.

"Brother Xi, in fact, what Brother Li said is also reasonable. It's going to get dark. If we don't get up quickly, it will be difficult to identify the traces when it gets dark." Duan Peng considered the suggestion.

"Hmm." Zhong Xi frowned and thought for a moment and said, "What you said is also reasonable. Let's speed up and try to catch up with them before dark."

"Damn, what he said makes sense. What I said is wrong. Isn't what we saying the same?" Zhong Li suddenly felt that the world was too unfair. Obviously, the two expressed the same meaning, but the treatment they received was completely different.

After making a decision, Zhong Xi galloped with the team again, and not long after, Zhong Xi stopped again.

"Brother Xi, have you found anything?" Duan Peng hurried to Zhong Xi's side and squatted down.

Zhong Xi didn't say anything, just picked up a broken grass stem and handed it to Duan Peng.

Duan Peng carefully observed that there was a white serous fluid at the fracture of the grass stem, but his experience was too little to make any judgment.

"We call this grass white lotus. It is said that the shape of its leaves is very similar to that of a plant called lotus leaves that grows in water on the earth, but here he grows on land, and when this plant is broken, white slurry will flow out of the stem, so we call it white lotus."

Zhong Li, who stood aside and waited, felt that he was about to be suffothre by these two people, but he did not have the courage to challenge Zhong Xi's anger, so he could only turn his head and not watch the movements of the two people.

"What are the characteristics of this grass? What can you tell us?" Duan Peng doesn't think it's anything. He is still a newcomer. This knowledge is really too important to him.

Zhong Xi nodded with appreciation, and Duan Peng suddenly asked the key to the question, "After the white pulp is broken, the white pulp will slowly seep out, so the white pulp should be full, and the white lotus also has another characteristic, that is, after being broken for half an hour, the white pulp will slowly penetrate back, and at this time, the white pulp will be dry. zhuang." He pointed to the white pulp oozing from the broken stem of the white lotus and continued, "Look at these white pulp again."

I only saw that the white pulp oozed from the broken stem of the white lotus was full, and there were even signs of continued to penetrate out. Without Zhong Xi's further explanation, even Zhong Li understood what Zhong Xi wanted to express.

"Okay! There is less than half an hour away. Everyone should be careful. Like the declaration of battle, Zhong Xi became more and more solemn. The weapon he had used was also taken from his back. It was a black iron bar. The place where he shook hands had long been extremely smooth, and it seemed to reflect a trace of luster in the deep forest approaching at night.

Zhong Li, who stood aside impatiently, also became serious, and the iron gun in his hand was clenched in his hand early.

............

Night finally came, and the robots seemed to accommodate human living habits and did not rush in the night. All the robots formed a large circle. Humans were surrounded by them in the center of the circle, and they even made a few piles of bonfires for the crowd in the center.

There were about one or two hundred robots in the camp. Zhong Xi slowly leaned up with Zhong Li and Duan Peng. He observed carefully and looked at them for a while before gently sighing, "It's okay!"

"What's wrong?" Duan Peng lay beside Zhong Xi and didn't dare to breathe until Zhong Xi made a sound that he dared to ask.

"These are just SD102 robots." Zhong Xi explained to Duan Peng with relief, but after saying that, he remembered that Duan Peng had no concept of robots at all and organized the language. He continued: "Forget that you don't know this at all. These robots are divided into many different purposes, materials and equipment. For example, these are mountain robots in front of us, which are specially used for mountain combat, but the performance of these robots is not very good, so they are also very low among mountain robots.

"Oh, is this SD102 powerful?" Duan Peng scratched the back of his head. Although Zhong Xi had explained it in detail, Duan Peng was the first time to come into contact with this kind of knowledge, so he still didn't quite understand it.

"SD102 is not very powerful in mountain robots, especially its visual mode has very prominent defects." Zhong Xi smiled, and he liked Duan Peng's character of asking questions. "As far as I know, the visual methods can be roughly divided into four categories: night vision, sound collection, thermal sensing and infrared imaging. Take the night vision mirror equipped with SD102 as an example, it can let you clearly see things in the dark."

Hearing Zhong Xi's explanation, Duan Peng's body shrank down again. Now there are three people, and he doesn't want to expose everyone's existence because of himself.

Seeing Duan Peng's movements, Zhong Xi smiled gently and then continued to say, "However, a simple robot like SD102 is only equipped with the night vision function, that is to say, they will not know what we say. Moreover, SD102 is not equipped with the most advanced night vision glasses. He also has a certain scanning range. As long as we are careful to avoid the direction of their sight, they can't see us either.

Duan Peng exhaled. When he first heard that these robots could see things at night, he was so nervous that he even forgot his breath and almost suffocated himself to death. Brother Xi, can I have a look? Since Zhong Xi said that there was no danger, Duan Peng suddenly became curious about these robots and couldn't wait to see what these robots that made Zhong Xi afraid look like.

It's a good thing that young people are willing to learn. Of course, Zhong Xi will not stop it. He nodded with a smile.

Seeing Zhong Xi nodding, Duan Peng couldn't wait to turn his head, but when he looked up, he became cautious again. Duan Peng carefully stretched out his head from the lurking place, and his eyes were exposed to the ground. As soon as he saw the camp, he immediately stopped.

The sky was very dark, and Duan Peng and they were too far away. Fortunately, several piles of bonfires were lit in the center of the robot. Under the light of the fire, Duan Peng faintly saw a group of humanoid shadows standing in a circle around the bonfire in the middle, and only the periphery of the circle and black shadows were swimming.

Duan Peng was a little disappointed and basically didn't get any useful information.

Zhong Xi seemed to find Duan Peng's disappointment, patted Duan Peng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's get closer. There should be no problem." Then he turned back to Zhong Li and said, "Xiao Li, what do you think?"

Since he approached the robot, Zhong Li has become silent. Basically, what Zhong Xi said and did what he did. Most of the time, he held an iron gun and followed Zhong Xi motionless. Hearing Zhong Xi's question, he just shook his head and said nothing.

Zhong Xi didn't do anything about Zhong Li's attitude. He knew that Zhong Li was nervous. If it hadn't been for Duan Peng's questions from time to time, he would have been much better than Zhong Li. He turned around and whispered to Duan Peng, "Pay attention to my way forward." After saying that, he began to lean towards the robot's camp.

Zhong Xi's eyes have never left the direction of the camp. His movements are slow and urgent, sometimes as if he were a thief, and sometimes as fast as the charge launched during the battle.

Although Zhong Li became more silent, his movements did not relax. Following Zhong Xi, he was like Zhong Xi's shadow. Zhong Xi was fast, and Zhong Xi was slow. The movements of the two fell into Duan Peng's eyes, as if they had discussed in advance.

Duan Peng's hands and feet are full of sweat. Although Zhong Xi has been teaching him these things, he is not confident that he can do it, especially in the face of the pressure of robots.

'Kache', as expected, when approaching the 50 meters of the robot, Duan Peng did not step on the branch beside him. The branch was also very face-catching. There was a crisp break under his feet immediately. The sound was particularly loud in the quiet night. In an instant, Duan Peng's cold hair all over his body stood up. Sweat also gushed out of his whole body at that moment. Duan Peng only felt numb and his head was blank. He couldn't figure out what to do next.

"Get down, they can't hear!" Zhong Xi lowered his voice and shouted in a low voice.

Hearing Zhong Xi's prompt, Duan Peng woke up a little. He immediately wanted to do what Zhong Xi said, but he found that his hands and feet had become stiff after the shock just now, and he could not obey the order of his brain at all.

"Idiot!" Zhong Li shouted and cursed in a low voice, and then turned around and knocked Duan Peng down. Zhong Li didn't have any opinion about Duan Peng, but the atmosphere was too tense, so Duan Peng couldn't help swearing as soon as he made a mistake.

"I'm sorry!" Duan Peng apologized in a low voice. He felt a little wronged. He didn't mean to, but the light at night was too dark. He could only judge the movements and route of the people in front of him with the help of the faint fire from the robot camp, and the movements of Zhong Xi and Zhong Li were extremely erratic, just a careless Two people were lost.

............

Duan Peng held up his stick, looked up at the sky, and shouted with tears on his face, "Children's shoes, don't be afraid, I just ask for a little opinion and a little motivation! Come on! Don't be stingy! Even if you don't mind saying a good or a good word, I will admit it!"
