Last Totem Novel - Chapter 579
Chapter 579 Camouflage
On the fourth day, Tie Zha instructed the workers to fill him with two large bottles of oxygen, collect a large backpack of canned meat and military self-heating rations, and a tent. Then he gathered everyone in the camp together and announced to them, “Friends, I’m leaving. What are you going to do? Continue.” With that, he opened his membrane wings and flew away with a buzzing sound under the gazes of the crowd.
Everyone watched him disappear from their line of sight, neither daring to stop him nor daring to say anything. However, they were clearly relieved. It was a good thing for them to not have to serve this dangerous person anymore.
After flying for several kilometers, Tie Zha landed in a dense forest. After observing the surroundings and confirming that there was no danger, he set up his tent on the spot.
Just now, he was just pretending and didn’t intend to leave the island at all. He planned to hide in the dense forest and wait for Bi Qinglan’s reinforcements to arrive before hijacking an airship and leaving.
After setting up the tent and putting away the supplies, he stealthily headed towards the camp. About half an hour later, he returned to the vicinity of the camp and secretly observed for a period of time. There wasn’t much change in the camp, and the workers were working step by step. They weren’t thrown into chaos by his departure. After confirming the situation, he dug out four oxygen cylinders and some vegetables, dried meat and a portable kerosene stove from a hidden location and carried them back to camp.
Then he lit a kerosene stove, put on an aluminium military lunch box, and cooked. According to his habits, rice and jerky were thrown in and cooked until they were almost cooked, then vegetables were put in. Soon, the fragrance of meat permeated the forest. Tie Zha ate a nice meal, packed his things, and wiped away the traces.
After everything was done, he took the tent as the center and scanned a radius of a thousand meters in order to facilitate his next move.
Because Qi Man’s dreams were not divided into day and night, she could only rely on time to arrange her schedule. About six hours later, he returned to the camp, took out a package of battle rations from the Far East Serpent Race, and started toying with it.
It was a rectangular carton with the words “Heavenly Serpent River Guards, No.3 Dinner” printed on it.
The Heavenly Serpent River was the mother river of the Spirit Serpent Seven Clans. It originated from the Myriad Spirit Mountains and flowed from the southwest to the northeast. When it passed through the Seven-inch Mountain, it turned into two tributaries, the Green Serpent River and the White Serpent River, which eventually converged into the Nether Sea. The Heavenly Serpent River Garrison should be the alliance army of the Snake Race.
Compared to the Horned Rhinoceros Five Clans, the Spirit Snake Seven Clans had a large population, a large area of cultivated land, and a strong comprehensive strength, but there were also many internal conflicts. Therefore, the advantage of the Snake Clan had not been obvious for three thousand years. However, ever since Bi Qinglan came to power, she had displayed an extremely tough political wrist. She acted swiftly and decisively, completely subverting the Snake Race’s ruling ideology with “benevolence” at its core.
Strangely enough, her change of sect and brutal style did not cause much resistance. Instead, she was unanimously acknowledged by the upper echelons of the Snake Race, making their internal stability and unity even more stable. Coupled with the rapid development of the past few years, they had an overwhelming advantage over the races of the Far East.
The carton was dense and heavy, weighing about half a kilogram. Opening the carton, there were more than ten aluminum packaging boxes. It was neatly arranged inside, with no gaps in its size.
Tie Zha took them out one by one, put them on the ground, and counted them. There were sixteen boxes in total.
The two largest boxes were printed with “Scrambled Noodles with Tomato and Egg Stew” and “Diced Carrot and Corn Rice”, Five medium-sized boxes were printed with “shredded chili potatoes,” “minced pickled vegetables,” “gongbao chicken,” “onion pancakes,” “apple sydney oranges,” and the rest were small boxes with chili sauce, sour sauce, milk, tea bags, lemon slices, windbreaker matches, solid-state burners, simple scaffolds, and even toothpicks, chewing gum.
Looking at the variety of rations for the army, Tie Zha couldn’t help but sigh.
Place the bracket in a solid state burner, light it with a match, and heat the box on top. When the outer package bulges, bring it down and replace it with another box. After tossing and turning for a long time, Tie Zha finally had a sumptuous snake dinner.
Seven days later …
Tie Zha was hiding in the tent and sleeping when a long jet suddenly came from above. He quickly got up and looked up. Not long after, a huge shadow swept past the top of the tent at high speed. Powerful air currents pounced on the surface, blowing the leaves flying in all directions.
Bi Qinglan’s army arrived. He quickly packed his things, threw the tent and empty oxygen cylinders into the holes dug beforehand, covered the soil, and did some concealment work. However, this could only play a certain role. As long as you put in more effort, you would still be able to find traces.
After waiting for twenty hours, Tie Zha began to move towards the camp. He had made some concealment camouflage, and there were quite a few branches and leaves on his body and head. As long as he was hidden in the bushes, it would be very difficult for others to discover him.
As he walked halfway, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. To be so cautious in dealing with a group of women would really damage his reputation as an Iron Mountain Town bully …
However, after thinking about it, he still did a good job of concealment very seriously. If he were to fall into Bi Qinglan’s hands, he wouldn’t be able to endure the mere phrase “rapist and murderer”. Perhaps she could push Bi Qingluan’s death onto him again, and get a Far East court to try him. Thinking of this, he felt a chill run down his spine. This crazy woman really gave him a headache.
With that thought in mind, he arrived near the camp and climbed up a large banyan tree. Looking through the leaves, one could see a large number of airships parked outside the camp. Hundreds of power-armored warriors lined up in seven or eight square formations, their bright armor reflecting a dazzling glow under the sunlight.
Seeing this scene, Tie Zha cursed inwardly in his heart. Sending out so many people would cost at least ten thousand gold coins. She took great pains and expended money to catch him.
After observing for a while, Tie Zha discovered that the other party was only gathering and did not go out to search. After observing for a while, three women wearing azure third-generation power armor appeared in the middle of the camp, as if they were discussing something. Because this place was thousands of meters away, he could only see the movements of the opponent’s body clearly and could not see his face. But it wasn’t hard to tell that they were all replicas of Bi Qinglan.
Gradually, his gaze shifted to their surroundings. A few guards wearing dark green tarpaulin uniforms looked at their clothes again, and suddenly, a light flashed. At this moment, he was wearing the uniform of the Serpent Race Garrison.
A bold plan took shape quickly in the brain. He climbed down the tree, ran for a while, inhaled oxygen for another ten minutes, then found a hole in the tree and stuffed the oxygen bottle and the straight machete into it.
Then, he returned to the vicinity of the camp, took out two explosive grenades, pulled open the rings, and placed them under his feet.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the flames engulfed Tie Zha and blew him into the air. A few seconds later, he was covered in green smoke and fell to the ground. His clothes were tattered, his face was black, his hair was burnt, and fresh blood was spilling out of his body.
Although he looked miserable on the surface, he didn’t suffer much damage. The dual identities of a Legendary Bug Transformer and a high-level traditional evolver gave him an extremely tough body. Even two explosive grenades wouldn’t be able to blow him up.
Seeing that his injuries weren’t enough, Tie Zha gritted his teeth, stretched out two fingers, roared, and stabbed into his left eye!
“Whoa, whoa, whoa!”
The moment his eyes exploded, he let out a painful howl and covered his eyes as he rolled on the ground.
The sound of the explosion soon attracted the patrol of the camp. At this moment, Tie Zha’s entire body was covered in blood. His entire face was melting and rotting, leaving only a shocking bloody hole in his left eye. His appearance was extremely terrifying.
“Brother, what’s wrong?” The captain bent down and asked.
“Uh … Uh …” Tie Zha lay on the ground, struggling to reach out and point towards the depths of the forest. That direction was precisely where he had been camping for the past few days.
“The two of you” The captain pointed at the two members and said, “Bring him back first.” Then, he waved his hand and said, “Follow me.” After giving the order, he ran towards the direction indicated by Tie Zha. As he ran, he took out his walkie-talkie and reported to his head, “I found a suspicious target. He has fled to the southeast. Request backup, request backup …”
A few minutes later, two members, one on the left and one on the right, carried Tie Zha into the camp’s medical tent.
“Uh … Uh …” Tie Zha let out a painful voice, but it wasn’t fake. His skin was charred black and cracked. Blood continuously flowed out of his body, and the pain in his left eye was so intense that it pierced his heart.
“Send it to the hospital as soon as possible. We can’t handle it here.” The medical officer injected Tie Zha with a healing needle, hung it up, and said to the two patrol members who had sent him.
“This” The two patrol members hesitated for a moment before turning around and leaving.
Not long after, a girl dressed in azure cheongsam walked into the medical tent and swept her gaze over Tie Zha. Her lips gently opened and she asked, “Which part are you from?”
“Uh … Uh … I … I … am … the … th … squad …” Tie Zha covered his throat and made a series of vague noises, making it extremely difficult.
The girl in front of him was one of Bi Qinglan’s replicas. Judging from the embroidery of the cheongsam, Bi Qinglan was a five-clawed golden dragon, Bi Tianye, Bi Tianqing was a golden phoenix, and Bi Shuilan was three birds. As for this clone, there was a golden peacock embroidered on the cheongsam, and its rank should be below Bi Tianye.
Under her scrutiny, Tie Zha felt a little anxious, but on the surface, he was still very calm.
‘”Uh …” “Uh …” Help … “Help …” Help … “Tie Zha struggled and stretched out his bloody hand, seemingly unconsciously grabbing at her plump chest.
“Touch!”
The next second, Tie Zha was kicked flying by her and knocked over a large number of surgical instruments.
“Send him away.” Bi Qinglan’s replica threw out a sentence and left with a gloomy expression.
Looking at the other party’s wriggling waist/buttocks, a smile appeared at the corner of Tie Zha’s mouth, but it was quickly replaced by a painful expression. The muscles on his face twitched and pulled into the wound, causing him to grimace in pain.
