Chapter 149 Competing for chess pieces
wWAlong the vast mud land around the wasteland, I don’t know why there was no large pile of weeds growing here. On the grass with sparse wild grass, the three partners walked on the mud with confidence to find the footprints left by the people who placed guns. However, this was a long experience. It was as difficult to find footprints with a width of less than ten centimeters and a length of less than twenty centimeters on the mud land about two kilometers long. It was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, and the time they were only twenty minutes.
The three partners wanted to find the place where weapons were buried in this mysterious wasteland. Since the way to dig the entire wasteland once was no longer the first choice for the three partners, they now have to find clues of the burial place. What is important is that where the footprints left by the people burying the guns are, the three partners are looking for this thing.
No matter how Shaw shakes Weber, Weber just stands on the ground and doesn't move. Then, Shaw was furious. "Hey! Weber! We have only fifteen minutes left before twelve o'clock. Can't you cherish time? It takes time to dig after finding the footprints. Have you forgotten what our goal is?" Shaw shouted at Weber.
"We don't need to look for the so-called footprints. I've found the place where the weapons are buried, look!" Webber slowly raised his right hand and pointed to the street sign he was looking at. "The grass under the arrow is where we are looking for. According to the fact that we have fifteen minutes to find the weapons, time is no longer a problem."

"But..." Jack thought for a moment, looking at Webber in the distance, he had reached the place where the arrow pointed. "Think about it, who said there was this opportunity? We were staying in Principal Parker's office, and Webber was contacting the spaceship in the corridor outside. What I want to say is that he could not destroy the opportunity he said by himself."
"What! You want me to believe your strange point of view, it's ridiculous!" Shaw looked at the street sign and did not find the weirdness contained therein. In Shaw's eyes, it was just a very ordinary street sign. "I won't care if you waste our time. Come on and continue to look for footprints." Shaw pulled Weber's collar forward.
Looking at Jack who was anxious and looking at the pile of grass in front of them, Shaw sighed softly: "It is never a solution to be anxious now. Besides, it is easy to be discovered if there is too much noise now." Shaw walked to Jack, patted his chest gently, asking Jack to calm down quickly, and then walked back to his original position and stared at the grass in front of him, wanting to find some clues in the grass.
The three partners came to a wasteland. The wasteland was behind the construction site. There was no one in the construction site. There were only some bricks, tiles and cement prepared to build the house, and some houses that had not been built. The gray exterior walls were not inlaid with ceramic tiles. The three partners could not hear any sound. There was no rustling sound of the wind blowing the weeds on the wasteland, because there was no wind in the sky city.
Webber's running shoes were covered with mud, and the black trousers he was wearing were stained with a lot of mud, dyeing the black trouser legs yellow. While running, Webber found that an abandoned street sign looked very strange, which really exceeded human common sense: the arrow pointing the street sign was actually downward!
Although many people think that there is a signpost on the road to indicate which lane it is, whether it is a fast lane or a large car lane, the text on the downward arrow of the signpost can tell that the downward arrow is artificially posted. It says: The speed of the vehicle cannot exceed 100 kilometers per hour.
Shaw looked at Weber who was getting farther and farther away from him, and he sighed, and then said to Jack standing beside him: "I think he will come back with a crying nose, look! At that time, Lieutenant Colonel Norman asked who was delaying the time, and we will all point at Weber and accused him of wasting this opportunity." Shaw seemed very regretful, why didn't he grab Weber away at that time.
"It's twelve o'clock at this time, you're on time, Weber! Good job!" Shaw patted Weber's shoulder with a smile. Even Weber didn't believe that Shaw's ideas changed so quickly. He just opposed Weber going there to dig weapons. But now the matter has been done, so we have to contact the spaceship.
"Hey, Weber, let's go and look for that footprint quickly." Shaw put his hands on Weber's shoulder and asked Weber to continue moving forward. However, Weber didn't move at all. He just looked at the downward arrow and thought the street sign was a bit special. Weber looked carefully and found that the arrow was glued with transparent glue. He found that the arrow was stuck on the street sign two weeks ago, because the arrow was not as rusty as the street sign.
It was because they were in a hurry that the three partners speeded up and ran on the mud, and each looked at the mud in front of them. As soon as they found any footprints, they immediately told the other two partners. However, Weber suddenly stopped. He thought this was not the best method, and it was also that it took luck to catch a needle in the sea.
Soon, Weber suddenly appeared in front of Shaw from the grass. He held a large box of magazines in his hands, and there were several submachine guns inside. In other words, Weber had found the place where the guns were buried and dug them out. Weber proudly sent the submachine guns to Shaw and Jack, and each of them had five magazines.
Jack picked up the radio intercom and said to the microphone: "Hey, this is Jack. The other two are next to me. No one is injured. Now we are still hidden..." Just as Jack said this, the three friends heard the sound of the helicopter propeller spinning, and there were three or four of these helicopters.
The other two partners saw Weber stopping, of course they also stopped running. Following the place where Weber's eyes were looking, Jack and Shaw also found the street sign that Weber thought was suspicious. But unfortunately, Jack and Shaw couldn't find anything on this seemingly ordinary street sign.
Shaw suddenly realized that he was a little ashamed of what he had done just now. It was too rude to Weber. Shaw believed Weber's statement, and he and Jack stood on the spot waiting for Weber's return. "However, I really want to sigh that Weber's judgment is really sharp, and I can't see anything strange about that street sign.
"No! I'm willing to promise that the place where the arrow points is the place we are looking for!" Webber struggled to drag, not wanting to continue moving forward. "You said I wasted your time? OK! If I can't find a gun and waste your time, I'm responsible!" Webber picked up the shovel and ran towards the place where the arrow points.
The three partners did not intend to escape because they were surrounded by enemies without realizing it...
The problem in front of them is no longer trying to pass through the construction site safely, but another very time-consuming thing, which is to find their guns in this wasteland within half an hour. However, this wasteland is about one hectare size and is covered with weeds. There is no trace of anything buried on the land.
There is a reason why they dare not walk into the grass by themselves. The weeds growing on the wasteland are all long grass about two meters high. This wasteland has not been developed for many years. Because of this, these long grasses have grown upward without any obstacles. Now they have grown into weeds one head higher than the three partners, and they are very dense in segments. Shaw couldn't see what was in the grass between the grass, and he didn't dare to enter.
Jack was anxious. He looked at the large wasteland with weeds, holding a shovel in his hand, and didn't know where to start digging the land and finding the place where the weapons were buried. He wanted to call the spaceship to teleport the excavator over immediately. The underground detectors were also OK, but these things were forbidden to be brought into the Sky City, and there were no such two things on the spaceship.
The three partners looked up at the sky, and five helicopters were hovering above their heads. It was obvious that these helicopters were all mercenary legions. Three of the five helicopters had airborne more than a dozen mercenaries with guns, and the other two helicopters began to airdrop small mechas.
Jack, who had no idea, tried his best to chap the shovel in his hand into the soft soil, and stomped his feet in front of the grass. The three of them had not had much time left, and there was still twenty-five minutes to schedule the flight board to teleport. In other words, the three partners had no time to think slowly, and they could not continue to hesitate.
"Time does not wait for others, time does not wait for others..." Weber always silently recited these five words in his heart, and kept silently chanting. He also wanted to run faster, and he hoped that his eyes could be brighter, observing clues on the mud like a reconnaissance robot.
Webber also found that the abandoned road was not an ordinary road. He saw traces of car tires vaguely on the soil where he was standing, and there were many street signs next to it, all pointing to an exit a few kilometers ahead. Webber judged that this was a abandoned road for many years, and it was a road that existed before the construction site behind him.
Of course, there is a reason why the three partners dare not go in and find out, and this reason is based on security. They don’t know what will be waiting for him in the grass, whether the mercenaries or automated security robots, or something that is not good for the three partners, may be ambushed in the grass.
Weber, who was standing next to Jack, also advised Jack not to be too excited. He put the shovel behind his back and tied it to his body with a rope to relieve the burden on his hands. He looked around the wasteland and found that this wasteland was not as "wasteful" as he imagined. At least a few dilapidated street lights were placed on both sides of the wasteland. Maybe this was a road before...!~!m
