48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1369: Traps

The little girl had been following Zhang Heng around for the past few days. Even though Zhang Heng was still teaching her a few tricks to survive in the wild, she did not spend the rest of her time collecting food to improve her diet. On the contrary.., from three days ago, Zhang Heng’s attention had been focused on creating traps.

There were all kinds of traps, from the trees, underground, and in the water. Among them, there were some that were quite lethal. The little girl had seen Zhang Heng put four sharpened wooden stakes under one of the traps with her own eyes, even though Zhang Heng said that the traps were for hunting, the little girl could still sense something unusual.

She had already realized that something bad was about to happen, but she didn’t ask Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng also didn’t explain. He only told the little girl to remember the location of the traps, this was also why Zhang Heng brought the little girl along. She and her grandfather lived in this deep mountain. Zhang Heng was worried that the traps would hurt them before the battle started.

That afternoon, Zhang Heng brought the little girl to set up the traps as usual after lunch. It was at this time that he saw the birds that were startled by the commotion in the distant forest.

Zhang Heng frowned and looked at the little girl standing at the side. In fact, his trap setup was nearing its end, and he had decided not to bring the little girl with him this afternoon, this was because he knew that the group of people were looking for him. Previously, he did not even want to contact Shen Xixi and Fan Meinan, so naturally, he did not want to involve the grandparents in this.

However, from the direction where the birds were startled, the group of people was further away from the two caves than he was. Of course, the group of people did not know where he lived, so they definitely had to search for him. However, it was too late for them to rush back now, they might even be blocked near the cave. Not only would they not be able to use the traps here, but more importantly, they would definitely implicate the grandparents.

Therefore, Zhang Heng made a prompt decision. He found a relatively hidden hill and told the little girl to stay behind the hill, “Later, no matter what you hear, don’t come out. If I’m not back by nightfall, you can go back to your grandfather. If you meet anyone else on the way, you can answer whatever they ask. As long as you cooperate well, they shouldn’t make things difficult for you and your grandfather.”

With that, Zhang Heng carried his backpack and left alone. Three days ago, he had already moved all the props and supplies out of his residence and hid them in another place that was even less easy to find.

Therefore, he went there first and took the -LSB- infinite building blocks ] and a bagLegosegZhanghHengheng had considered building a more powerful weapon, such as a missile launcher or a howitzer.

However, such weapons of mass destruction were not suitable for fighting in the mountains, and Zhang Heng had to consider the possibility of accidental injury, this was because he was not sure whether the group of people who came to capture him had brought the villagers from nearby villages as guides or even brought the old man from the cave with them. Besides, these large weapons were all surprisingly large and heavy, once the enemy couldn’t be wiped out completely, it would be difficult to bring them away when they needed to move.

[ infinite building blocks ] might not be Zhang Heng’s most powerful weapon, but it had always been the most flexible weapon. It could adapt to all kinds of combat situations, so Zhang Heng didn’t want to use it as a one-time consumable.

Therefore, Zhang Heng’s first weapon that he had assembled using Lego was still a gun — the SR-25 combat rifle!

The prototype of this sniper rifle was designed by Eugene Stoner. The semi-automatic rifle SR-25 produced by Knight Armory was originally a civilian product, but it was later picked up by the U.S. Special Operations Forces, it had entered the U.S. Army in 1990 and participated in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It could be considered a weapon that had been tested in actual combat.

One of the main reasons Zhang Heng chose this gun was that it was relatively light. The entire gun weighed less than 5 kilograms. Of course, it was not as heavy as the Vorse S16 he had used on the elevated platform, however, the SR-25 could be equipped with 20 rounds of ammunition. For Zhang Heng, who did not have the ammunition to replenish his sniper rifle, every bullet was precious.

However, the effective range of this gun was only about 600 meters. It might not be enough on flat ground, but it was enough to fight in the forest.

Zhang Heng checked the newly acquired Sr-25 and walked toward the direction of the convoy.

He had only walked less than 200 meters when he heard the barking of dogs in the distance. There was also the sound of chaotic footsteps behind the hounds.

Zhang Heng did not want to waste his precious sniper bullets on the hounds, so he took off his shirt and cut it with a knife. Four minutes later, the six hounds rushed to the spot where Zhang Heng had been standing. They did not hesitate, they rushed toward a big tree not far away.

The two hounds in the lead missed their footing and fell into a deep pit. When the search team behind them arrived, they saw the three hounds circling the deep pit anxiously and whining.

The man wearing sunglasses walked to the side of the deep pit and took a look. He saw the tragic scene inside. The two hounds that fell first had their abdomen and neck pierced by the sharp tree stump. They were about to die, although the two hounds behind them stopped in time by the side of the pit, one of them was still knocked down by the companion behind them. It was not life-threatening. It was just that one of its legs was stabbed, obviously, he could not participate in the subsequent search.

“TSK, TSK, tsk. It was a bad start. That guy was indeed not unprepared,”the man wearing sunglasses said. “Lead the remaining three hounds well. Be careful of the traps. We are fighting on their territory.”

The hounds that had lost half of their original owners were also a reminder to the pursuers, making them a lot more cautious in their next actions. Even so, one dog and two people were still hit by the traps, they were injured by strange traps.

However, when he saw a player whose arm had swelled up and become twice as thick, the man wearing sunglasses was not angry. Instead, he seemed to have thought of something and praised, “Amazing!”

“What’s Amazing?”The man holding the fire qilin asked.

“He knows that we brought hounds.”

“And then?”The man holding the fire qilin was still confused. It was not surprising that Simon knew that they brought hounds. After all, the barking of dogs could be heard from a distance.

The man wearing sunglasses patiently explained, “Then, he played along. He used the hunting dog’s principle of action to track his scent, and instead, he gradually led us into his trap. This guy is as cunning and difficult to deal with as the rumors say. Moreover, according to the players who have entered dungeons with him, not only does he have a lot of tools, but he also has a lot of terrifying skills. He is practically an army of one person in the legends.”
