The vehicle stopped in front of the forest.
Several people got out.
The blonde strong man asked Ling Lu, "Ling Lu, have the mission details and precautions been explained?"
Ling Lu nodded playfully, "Don't worry, boss, they've all been explained!"
Arnold nodded, "I'll reiterate, once we enter the forest, we must remain silent."
"Maintain the formation we prepared beforehand, understand?"
Everyone nodded.
Seeing that it was almost time, Arnold instructed them to check their firearms again.
The atmosphere became tense, with only the sound of metal clanking.
Even Xiao Chuxing took out a handgun and began to check and calibrate it.
Only Lin Feng stood still in his spot, like a blockhead.
Arnold checked the magazine and inadvertently looked up at Lin Feng.
Seeing Lin Feng's empty hands, Arnold frowned.
"You don't have a weapon? Do you need me to lend you some?"
Arnold's moral compass was above average; he would help if he could.
If they wanted to join the team, they had to contribute.
Having Xiao Chuxing was troublesome enough, and thankfully Xiao Chuxing was very sensible and helpful in many ways.
He wasn't a saint, but he felt they were teammates and didn't want to see anyone die for no reason.
However, Lin Feng shook his head and refused Arnold's offer.
He had his own weapon, but he was too lazy to use it; he only needed to fire a couple of shots to clear this vast forest.
Seeing Lin Feng refuse, Arnold's frown deepened.
"Then be careful yourself. When the fighting starts, I might not be able to look after you..."
Lin Feng wouldn't listen to his advice, so Arnold couldn't say more.
Arnold felt that if he could help then, he would, and if not, he would just give up.
After the preparations were complete, Arnold made a silencing gesture and led them slowly into the forest.
They formed a diamond-shaped squad, ensuring they could detect enemy positions immediately.
The Predator's outer armor had optical camouflage.
This kind of squad formation could effectively prevent surprise attacks from behind.
As for Xiao Chuxing, her combat ability was too weak, so she had to be placed in the center of the team.
As they entered the forest, the environment and temperature changed abruptly.
Giant trees, large enough to be hugged by several people, blocked the sunlight. Strange little creatures scurried around underfoot.
Vegetation almost completely covered the ground, reaching as high as Xiao Chuxing.
It looked exactly like a prehistoric forest.
Hot, humid, and incredibly dangerous.
There were no paths in the primeval forest, so they had to hack their way through.
Occasionally, they could hear unknown animals or insects chirping.
However, strangely, despite the surrounding noises, they could clearly hear their own breathing.
Perhaps they were too tense.
Arnold noticed that Ling Lu's state was different from previous missions.
She seemed incredibly relaxed, as if she didn't take this mission seriously.
"Increase vigilance, constantly monitor movements from all directions."
Arnold reminded her.
Ling Lu was an indispensable combatant, and he didn't want her to lose her life due to momentary carelessness.
However, Ling Lu's eyes were no longer on her captain.
"It's a bit hot..."
Ling Lu muttered softly, clutching her collar and pulling it, wanting some cool air to feel refreshed.
Beneath her collar was her fair collarbone.
This action attracted the gaze of the horse-faced Steven.
He timidly kept glancing at Ling Lu, with a lecherous look on his face.
He truly lived up to his horse-like face; could he be a pervert?
As they walked, Arnold quietly discussed tactics with the horse-faced man and Barnett.
Communication was necessary. They were only on the outskirts of the forest, so the chance of encountering Predators was relatively small.
If they didn't communicate for a long time, it would amplify the fear in their hearts, which was not a good sign.
While discussing, he didn't forget to keep his muscles tensed, his fingers always on the edge of the trigger.
The most relaxed person in the team was Lin Feng.
He was like a tourist visiting a zoo, empty-handed, strolling around.
Ling Lu was also relatively relaxed, as she knew there was a powerful figure present and wasn't afraid at all.
She cautiously approached Lin Feng, preparing to cheat. "Big brother, is there any danger nearby?"
"Huh? Why is it so cool around you? Is it a bio-field?"
Before she could finish asking, Ling Lu moved closer to Lin Feng. The closer she got, the lower the surrounding temperature became.
This made Ling Lu instantly think of Superman's unique ability, the bio-field.
Lin Feng smiled and nodded. His senses could cover the entire primeval forest.
"At 3 o'clock, 3 kilometers away, there's a Predator."
"At 6 o'clock, 2.8 kilometers away, there's another one, and it's slowly approaching our direction."
"There, there are three more Xenomorphs about 5 kilometers away."
Lin Feng pointed to the front left and spoke casually.
"As for the others, they are further away and currently pose no threat."
Ling Lu was practically clinging to Lin Feng.
This damned forest was getting hotter the deeper they went.
Upon receiving the information, Ling Lu's eyes darted, and she took out a few pieces of chocolate to chew, replenishing her energy in advance.
She spoke to Lin Feng in a very low voice, not sharing the news with her teammates.
Lin Feng was an unknown entity to the team, and they wouldn't believe him even if he told them.
It would be embarrassing.
"Big brother, do you want some?"
Ling Lu took out a few more chocolates. "It's from 'Moyou'!"
Lin Feng glanced at them. He hadn't intended to eat them, but after thinking for a moment, he took one and put it in his mouth.
Tears welled up; it was the taste of home.
There was no 'Moyou' chocolate in the Marvel universe.
"Hehehe." Ling Lu giggled softly. She knew the big brother wouldn't refuse her.
The horse-faced man, who was constantly on guard, spat on the ground.
He noticed Ling Lu, who was very close to Lin Feng, whispering.
Damn it, he tried his best to please her every day, but he couldn't even get a smile from Ling Lu.
Now she was willingly going up to him and chatting happily.
He felt unbalanced!
He's just a pretty boy. Let's see how he wets his pants when danger arrives!
The team continued to advance, but their speed was somewhat slow.
After walking for about half an hour, Lin Feng's patience was almost gone.
He was wondering if he should go and catch a few Predators to finish the mission quickly.
But there were too many people present. Capturing just Ling Lu and the others might disrupt their team dynamics?
With a sigh of distress, Lin Feng simply started talking to Ling Lu about his hometown again.
