Chapter 50 Clues (Recommendation Vote)
When Shang Jianyao heard this, he said as if he was thinking:
"Fierce, neat, clean, this is a premeditated revenge?"
In his opinion, it may not be revenge, but it must be premeditated and targeted.
Jiang Baimian looked at the bright hole and thought for a moment:
"Not necessarily.
"It may also be that the residents of Black Rat Town have discovered this cave because of something exposed, and regardless of their identity, the weapons and ammunition they exchanged from the company, and the winter food they stockpiled are enough to attract strong malice.
"The attackers probably didn't think about concealing their identities and destroying traces at first, because having thermobaric bombs is a relatively obvious feature in itself. Perhaps, after the battle, when they were searching for supplies, they found the wireless telegraph and suspected that Black Rat Town had established contact with a large force and became a vassal, and then, in order not to be retaliated, they hurriedly cleared the battlefield."
Bai Chen had no way to tell whether this incident was premeditated or accidental, so he could only give some relatively obvious conclusions from his own perspective:
"Regardless of the motive, what I can barely confirm now is:
"First, the raider team has a level of order above the level, otherwise it would be impossible to clean the battlefield so cleanly, leaving us with almost no clues. This can basically rule out the possibility that they were temporarily put together by several bandit groups.
"Second, being able to have thermobaric bombs and individual combat weapons shows that the strength of the raider team is also above the level, and the reputation will not be too small."
Seeing Shang Jianyao seemed a little confused, Bai Chen added:
"In the gray soil, there are very few teams that hide their strength, and only by fully demonstrating their strength can they deter their followers and surrounding enemies and occupy enough resources.
"In this regard, perhaps only large forces and lone rangers, as well as a squad of a few people, can be an exception, but among the former, most of them were built with one shot and one bullet at the beginning, and only after the strength reached a certain level, did some strategic concealment.
Jiang Baimian said "hmm":
"In addition, the current situation can also be inferred as a detail:
"The attackers are at least twenty, no, more than thirty, otherwise it will not be so clean to deal with the guards on the periphery of Black Rat Town, and it will be impossible to let the townspeople of Black Rat Town shrink in the cave and not try to counterattack, but only consider evacuating through the backup passage."
Shang Jianyao couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this.
This reasoning seemed so simple, but he didn't expect it just now:
If there are few attackers, with the scale of two or three hundred people in Black Rat Town, plus the various weapons provided by "Pangu Creatures", even if the equipment on the opposite side is strong, it can be completely pushed back.
"Yes." Bai Chen glanced at the area that was not illuminated by the flashlight, "Judging from the gunshot wounds on some of the corpses, the weapons of the attacker team are also relatively mixed, which can almost rule out the possibility of a large army.
Shang Jianyao gradually got used to this kind of discussion and began to join in:
"You can also rule out the 'slave traps', for them, the most valuable thing is the population, and it is not in their style to slaughter the entire Black Rat Town."
"Yes, even second-time people can mine, especially the townspeople of Black Rat Town, who are even better at this area. Even if they can't pass the psychological level, they are afraid of being infected with diseases and have abnormalities, they can be separated from ordinary mining slaves, formed separately, and remotely supervised by weapons." Jiang Baimian said casually, without paying attention to grammar.
She immediately asked:
"Is there anything else?"
Shang Jianyao thought for a while and said:
"The raider team may not really have more than 30 people, I mean the core members.
"They can completely coerce dozens of foreign vassals with seven or eight core members, anyway, it looks very powerful on the surface.
"When the battle is over, the battlefield is cleaned, and the traces are dealt with, the seven or eight core members will do it themselves or supervise, which can also achieve good results."
Jiang Baimian nodded in satisfaction:
"This possibility cannot be ruled out.
"Based on what was said earlier, and considering the dialogue in the tape recorder, we can preliminarily outline some characteristics of the raider team:
"In the first case, the human team, numbered in more than thirty people, has a good reputation, acts ruthlessly, is experienced, has more powerful equipment such as thermobaric bombs and individual combat weapons, does not belong to or is not dependent on large forces, and is not too short of food at present.
"In the second case, there are less than ten core members, and there are a large number of vassals or cooperative teams."
After summarizing, the corners of Jiang Baimian's mouth were slightly upturned, but he said without the slightest smile:
"In the first case, although there are many similar teams on the gray soil, there are definitely not many, and those located nearby and those who have recently come to the vicinity can be counted.
"The second situation, there are vassals and cooperative teams, which means that many things cannot be truly kept secret.
"By the way, we will carefully search the area near this hill, if it is the second case, we cannot rule out the possibility that the seven or eight core members will kill the vassals and collaborators for the sake of secrecy after the matter is completed."
As he spoke, Jiang Baimian walked towards the entrance of the cave and muttered:
"You guys are really, why don't you go outside to discuss? Isn't it uncomfortable to bend over and talk here?"
Shang Jianyao was still a little immersed in the impact of the slaughter of Black Rat Town, but he didn't expect that the team leader had basically returned to normal, at least on the surface, so he had to quickly follow.
After coming outside and telling Long Yuehong the general situation, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to ask:
"Team leader, what should we do next? In addition to searching the surrounding area to see if there are any traces of murder and silence."
Jiang Baimian looked back at the cave:
"This is a major event. Isn't there an emergency flare on the car? Launch it out and let the company know that something is wrong here, well, you have to go to a higher place, so that even if the company's peripheral guards are too far away and do not find it, there will be vassal forces located in different places who will see it and send a telegram to notify it."
"This will attract a lot of wilderness wanderers, bandit groups, and relic hunters......" Bai Chen followed with a slight concern as he looked at the entrance of Black Rat Town.
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"Yes. For those who want to stock up on food for the winter, this is good meat, washed, marinated, and dried, and it is a good harvest."
"Team leader, what you said is so terrible......" Long Yuehong couldn't help but take a breath.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him:
"I said this on purpose, so that you and Shang Jianyao can adapt as soon as possible, so that you don't have to see a similar scene with your own eyes and be strongly impacted, and you won't be able to slow down for a while.
"Heh, on the gray soil, the probability of encountering something similar is not low."
She didn't say anything more about this, thought for a moment and said:
"In this way, we will set off a flare on the top of the next hill or hill to guide the relic hunters and wilderness wanderers in that direction.
"As for the company, there is only one collaborator in this area, Black Rat Town, as long as it does not exceed the corresponding range, no matter where the emergency flares are fired, they will only be guided to think about Black Rat Town as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Jiang Baimian looked at Long Yuehong wearing an exoskeleton device:
"You look for larger stones around, move them all back, block the entrance to the cave, and by the way, you have to block the spare passage as well. This can not only prevent the beast from smelling and destroying the traces, but also prevent the ruin hunters and wilderness wanderers who search here from directly discovering the existence of the cave.
Long Yuehong easily understood the team leader's words and began to look for large stones that far exceeded the limits of the human body and could only be moved by exoskeleton devices.
After bringing all the corpses outside back to Black Rat Town, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others dealt with the bloodstains while watching Long Yuehong, who was covering the iron-black metal skeleton, bring stones, first blocking the spare exit and then sealing the entrance to the cave.
"Okay, let's go back to the jeep and put the flare somewhere else." Jiang Baimian stared at the pile of camouflaged stones for a few seconds, then turned around and left.
When she was about to get into the car, she stopped, turned around and said:
"After setting off the flare, we found a hidden place nearby to set up.
"After that, before the people from the company arrive, we all have to stay here to prevent accidents and avoid damage to the scene, and in addition, we will also submit information about the ruins of the city and the monk order."
Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen had no objections to this arrangement, believing that this was an inevitable development.
Compared with the small task of sending water purification devices to filter chips, which can drag on for a few days or even half a month, things here are obviously more important.
"I will have to wait about two or three days." Jiang Baimian smiled slightly, "Just right, it can exercise your ability to survive in the wild."
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong to respond, she went around to the driver's seat, opened the door, and sat up.
Ten minutes later, at the top of a hill to the southwest, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong stood quietly on the side.
Jiang Baimian did not immediately use a grenade gun to fire the emergency flare carried by the "old tune team", but waited for a while, waiting for the clouds to float by, cover the sun, and the light became dim before pulling the trigger.
With a bang, a crimson dazzling light exploded at high altitude, like a blooming bloodthirsty flower.
