Chapter 125 Praise my Lord
Ilea's movements were very agile, and it took less than five days to gather the people.
And this time the number of people in the team increased to eighteen.
However, there is generally a pessimistic attitude in Teacup Castle towards this version 2.0 dragon-seeking team.
Because the previous dragon-hunting team, which was well-equipped and composed of knights and elite warriors, was finally wiped out, and no one came back alive.
Although the team that set out again this time had half more people, it was composed of mercenaries and prisoners. Even if they were just a mob, they looked down upon them. These people simply had their own agendas.
The leader was the one who was brought back from outside by Ilea not long ago. He once had a lot of trust in her, but she took him with her every day, but in the end it was proved that he was an insider.
Logically speaking, such a person is not trustworthy at all, so many people have approached Miss Rabbit these days, hoping to persuade her to change her mind.
The girl's answer was very simple. If she didn't like these people, it was fine. Then she would recommend a team of people who could go into the swamp to find the dragon on their behalf.
So those people all shut their mouths.
In the end, most people also figured out that this clearly meant death mission should be left to the mercenaries and prisoners. If they died in the swamp, they would have made their own contribution to the security of the Western Territory. .
In short, the 2.0 version of the Dragon Hunting Team embarked on a journey amidst a lot of disappointment.
Their first stop was Shuangxiujiao's territory, where Li Yu was already waiting for them.
After seeing Jude, Li Yu handed over the action camera he bought on pdd.
Li Yu originally set his sights on GoPro Hero10. It is not only compact in size but also has excellent performance. It can shoot high-definition images with 23 million resolution and 5.3k60 Hz. It is also waterproof and shockproof, and supports underwater shooting within ten meters. Many outdoor anchors are also using it.
The only disadvantage is that it is expensive, costing 3,000 yuan. The same goes for DJI’s Action2, which is cheaper than the Hero10 but costs more than 2,000 yuan. However, Li Yu’s current monthly reimbursement limit is only 15,000 yuan.
Of course, the most important thing is that Jude's trip is very dangerous, and there is a high probability that he will never come back. In order to avoid the meat buns beating the dog, Li Yu finally spent several hundred yuan to buy a second-tier small brand sports on pdd. camera.
It is about the size of a card box and can be worn on the chest through a strap. It has 4k image quality and the merchant also claims that it has anti-shake and waterproof functions.
Li Yu taught Jude how to turn on, record and shut down, and then told him that the power inside could last for about two hours, which was actually the time that the power of the action camera could support it.
For this reason, Li Yu also explained to Jude what an hour was, let him feel how long a minute is, and then told him that sixty minutes is an hour.
After explaining all this, Li Yu asked the lizard people to replenish food and supplies for the 2.0 version of the dragon-hunting team.
This way they can be on their way early tomorrow morning.
Just when Li Yu was about to leave, Jude stopped him again, "I have one more request. I wonder if I can join your holiday program?"
"Huh?" Li Yu stopped, "Aren't you a believer? You only want to believe in your own ax and dog."
"That's true, but am I about to find a dragon? From your description, that dragon is quite ferocious." Jude lowered his voice, "I don't know if the bait I brought is enough for it to eat. .”
"…………"
"And I noticed that you just gave the three lizardmen some good things privately. Are those holy weapons that can deal with that dragon? If I join the Shuangxiu Cult now, can I also have a share? ”
"What I gave them were not weapons, just gadgets for self-defense." Li Yu said.
"Then I need it even more! I'm not going to slay dragons. As long as I can save my life and complete my errand, I'll be satisfied." Jude slapped his thigh and said expectantly, "What should I do to become a follower of our Lord on Saturday? ?”
Li Yu glanced at the faith counter on his watch. Although the number there jumped a little, it should still be contributed by the lizard people. The company had collected faith once before, and then the number on his watch returned to zero. After a while, Started to recover slowly again.
It probably has little to do with Jude.
Perhaps because his life experience in the past few decades has been too dark, Jude's outlook on life is completely different from that of ordinary people. This guy is an absolute egoist and only cares about interests in everything.
It is difficult for such a person to be inspired by ideals, and Li Yu doubted that he would not wholeheartedly believe in some unknown great existence. From the looks of it, this guy looked more like he was just picking up bargains under the guise of believing in Saturday.
But in business, everyone who comes is a customer.
Since it is planned to become bigger, there is no reason to rush out whether it is a high-roller who is happy to pay or a potential customer who likes to pick and choose without looking to buy.
Li Yu said, "If you want to join Shuangxiujiao, you need to take the test first."
"What test?" Jude also knew that things would not be that easy.
"Shuangxiujiao is a big family. As long as those who join Shuangxiujiao are family members and comrades-in-arms, regardless of race, gender, or identity, you cannot use your family and comrades-in-arms as bait."
Jude understood instantly, "You want me to protect those three lizard men?"
"That's right."
Jude touched his chin and pretended to be thinking, but in fact he had already made a decision in his heart.
He agreed first, but he would not be stupid enough to really burden himself with three more burdens. When the time comes, it would depend on the situation, and he would help if he could. If it was really dangerous, he would also send the three lizardmen as planned. Feed the dragon and buy yourself precious time to escape.
This is also in line with Jude's usual behavior. If the three lizard men are lucky enough to survive, he can gain another wave of favorability with Shuangxiujiao, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.
So he pretended to think for a while, then showed a reluctant look and said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll try my best, but I don't have the right equipment on hand, and it's not easy to protect people."
Li Yu didn't waste any more nonsense. He went back to the house and took two Coke cans and threw them to Jude.
"Prepare it, and remember to stay away from fire sources at ordinary times. When necessary, use a torch to light the small section of rope on top and throw it out. This will buy you some time to escape."
Of course, the Coke cans themselves do not have this effect, but all of them, including the six Coke cans that Li Yu gave to the three lizardmen before, have been modified.
Just pour out the Coke inside, stuff it with ping pong ball fragments, add a certain amount of gunpowder, leave a fuse (can be taken out from the fireworks), and finally seal the bottle mouth with a hot melt glue gun to ensure tightness. With only a small exhaust hole left, a simple incendiary bomb can be made, which can produce a large amount of smoke in a short period of time.
This method was learned by Li Yu from Station B, and it comes in handy now.
Jude took the two Coke cans, his face showed a hint of joy, he carefully put the things away, and then said, "Praise my Lord!"
At least this time he really meant it when he said it. Thank you for Xina’s underwear, Li Lingdu’s water, TiMuSW’s joking follower and other children’s boots. Finally, don’t make your own smoke bombs. It’s very dangerous, and if it’s not properly sealed, it will spit out fire~
