24 hours to save the world

After noticing the loophole in the encirclement, his first reaction was not to tell Apple Pie and Du Fei the good news, but to return to the original position where Apple Pie and Du Fei were after thinking for a while.

Fortunately, the encirclement was quite large, and he did not encounter the black soldiers during his return. From here, it can be seen that the encirclement is so large that even if the location of the ghost is received, reinforcements cannot come to support in a short time. This is good news, which means that he can spend more time dealing with the search black soldiers, but the range of activities is not small.

"What's going on?"

Apple Pie's voice came from the tree.

Zhu Shijiu quickly climbed up the tree where Xu Feng was and simply replied: "We had a brief fight, but things were a bit strange."

Apple Pie was a little nervous after hearing this: "What strange thing happened? Was it exposed?"

"No, the battle went smoothly, and I solved several black soldiers, but the problem is after that."

Zhu Shijiu checked Xu Feng's condition and found that he was still in a coma, and continued.

"My original intention was to concentrate the attack on one place and let the black soldiers in the encirclement gather in one direction, so that it would be convenient for you to break through the encirclement in other weak places, and then I would find a way to escape the dense black soldiers' pursuit and interception... But just now, I sensed that there seemed to be a gap in the encirclement."

"There was... a gap?" Apple Pie was shocked, and then immediately said, "This is a trap!"

Zhu Shijiu glanced at Xu Feng and said to Apple Pie: "Do you think this is a trap?"

"Isn't it? Encircling 3 and missing 1, forcing the enemy to escape and then annihilate it, isn't this a common tactic?"

"Maybe that's right. But I always felt it was a bit strange, so I came back to confirm."

Zhu Shijiu said, reaching his hand to Xu Feng's forehead and gently pressing it.

Pheromone came out from his fingertips, stimulating Xu Feng's body pheromone to produce a stress response, and Xu Feng woke up as if he had a nightmare and quickly opened his eyes.

This is a use of pheromones discovered by Zhu Shijiu. His pheromones can be used to paralyze the black soldiers' bodies in battle, and naturally can also be used to stimulate unconscious people to wake them up quickly. The stronger the pheromone, the more intense the stress response will be when stimulated by the pheromone.

Zhu Shijiu didn't waste any words, tore off the tape on Xu Feng's mouth, and asked directly: "Xu Feng, you have arranged a backup to help us escape, right?"

Xu Feng had just woken up and should have thought about the current situation, but after hearing Zhu Shijiu's question, he understood.

"Next time, don't use such a rough method to knock me out and wake me up." Xu Feng said first, and then asked, "How did you judge it?"

Zhu Shijiu said calmly: "Don't waste time, I don't want to play guessing games with you, answer yes or no."

Xu Feng: "Yes."

Zhu Shijiu nodded: "Okay, then we are going to escape. Since you and I have the same interests, don't make any noise during the escape."

Xu Feng shook his head, moved his body, and jumped off the tree first. Naturally, his legs were still tied.

Zhu Shijiu also jumped down and called Apple Pie and Du Fei to follow.

Apple Pie also tried to extend the pheromone to sense, but she could not sense anything. What encirclement, what gap, she understood, this is not something that she can sense at this level of pheromone.

Zhu Shijiu led the way in front, and Apple Pie also had many things she didn't understand. Now it was about her life, she had to ask clearly, so she hurriedly caught up with Zhu Shijiu: "Prophet, we are running away now, can you explain it to us? Why do you know this is not a tactic of encircling 3 and missing 1?"

"There are three reasons. The first one is that you have to consider the importance of 'Commander Xu'."

Zhu Shijiu explained.

"Xu Feng is missing, and the black soldiers are searching the dense forest. When they still can't find the enemy, an enemy suddenly appears. Do you think the black soldiers will take the risk of using the tactic of encircling 3 and leaving 1? Maybe it would be the case under normal circumstances, but this matter concerns Xu Feng's safety. Their primary goal is to grasp all clues as much as possible and not give the enemy any chance to escape. The tactic of encircling 3 and leaving 1 is still too risky. Once the enemy escapes from the gap in the encirclement, it will bring greater trouble to the search work."

"This reason is based on our actions so far. In the eyes of the black soldiers involved in the search, we are probably extremely cunning. The situation in New York has been manipulated by us, and even Xu Feng, who has planned everything, has been successfully kidnapped by us. Do you think in this situation, they will choose to act cautiously or risk setting a trap?"

"What's more, even if they want to encircle 3 and leave 1, this trap is too obvious. Do you think the black soldiers will underestimate us to this extent and set such an obvious trap for us to jump into?"

After being said this, Apple Pie also felt that his previous answer without thinking was a bit ill-considered.

She was more curious about why Zhu Shijiu acted so decisively. There must be more evidence to support Zhu Shijiu's actions, so she asked, "What about the second reason?"

Zhu Shijiu said, "The second reason is Xu Feng. You saw it, right? I just came back and verified with Xu Feng whether he had prepared a backup plan."

Apple Pie nodded, "I saw it."

"Then you should understand. Since Xu Feng put himself in danger and set up a follow-up script for me, how could he not be prepared at all and let me die at the first step?"

"So when I sensed that there was a gap in the encirclement, the first person I thought of was Xu Feng. I think Xu Feng had already anticipated that this situation would develop and made preparations in advance. I am afraid that he notified some of the black soldiers in advance to let them hinder the search and facilitate our escape. In this way, the subsequent drama could be staged."

"I have objections." At this time, Xu Feng, who had been listening, suddenly said, "How do you assert that I must have a backup plan? In order to test your ability, it is possible that I have not prepared any backup plans."

"Xu Feng, I am afraid that your curiosity about me has never diminished. Since we just met, you have been testing the limits of my ability. The current situation is also created by your painstaking efforts, but this does not mean that you want to test it at this juncture."

Zhu Shijiu looked at Xu Feng, almost as if he saw through Xu Feng, and said with certainty.

"You were kidnapped by me, and you have plenty of time to observe me later. This is probably why you put yourself in danger. So you won't choose to test me now."

After hearing this, Xu Feng didn't know what to think, and nodded calmly: "This is the second reason. What about the third reason?"

"The third reason. The location of the gap in the encirclement, and the black soldiers far away from the encirclement acted too quickly."

Apple Pie was stunned for a moment: "Quick action... Is this also a reason? Isn't it common sense that black soldiers are efficient?"

Zhu Shijiu said: "From the time I fought to the end of the battle, the encirclement did not change until then. The encirclement started to shrink when the elite black soldier started to ask for help, so I chose to evacuate temporarily, but when I evacuated, a gap in the encirclement appeared. "

"It stands to reason that for such a major operation, even if there is a commander behind it, it is necessary to judge what tactics to implement based on the situation. More importantly, the enemy is still in the encirclement, like a turtle in a jar, and it can be killed slowly by slowly shrinking the encirclement, so the commander should have a lot of time to think and make careful decisions, and there is no need to rush to dispatch black soldiers. "

Apple Pie suddenly realized that this was indeed a big flaw.

But it sounds simple, but who can think of it in a short period of time? At least she didn't think of it.

"And... from the black soldiers who left the encirclement, we can at least infer one thing - there are multiple teams who do not obey the unified command and have independent decision-making power."

"At the same time, this is also the premise for Xu Feng's back-up plan to be realized. If all teams obey the command of a certain commander, the behavior of that team can be regarded as abnormal. It will definitely attract the attention of more black soldiers, but from my pheromone perception, the other black soldier teams have not been affected by that team, and they don't even seem to notice that there is a gap in the encirclement."

"So, that's it."

Apple Pie felt like a fool for the first time. She looked at Xu Feng again. Xu Feng's face was calm, as if he had expected this a long time ago. This is normal, but... she looked at Du Fei.

Why does this guy look so calm?

And she hasn't spoken since just now. Even if Zhu Shijiu said a chain of meticulous and shocking reasoning, her expression did not change at all, as if everything was within her expectations.

Could it be that I was the only one who didn't think of it at the first time?

Apple Pie was somewhat skeptical about life.

Just when Apple Pie was in self-doubt, Zhu Shijiu had already led a few people out of the encirclement - the result was naturally nothing happened, it was simply too smooth.

"It seems that more than one team 5 has become a 'traitor'." Zhu Shijiu glanced at Xu Feng.

This guy... is simply treating them as fools, fearing that they can't escape the encirclement.

Apple Pie spoke again: "Which way to go next?"

Xu Feng looked at Zhu Shijiu: "Although you said you wouldn't follow my advice, I do know that there is a hidden route nearby..."

"I told you to shut up."

Zhu Shijiu grinned.

"Next, we return to the manor."

"What?!"

Apple Pie widened his eyes, and even Xu Feng's face showed a moment of surprise. It was obvious that Zhu Shijiu's next plan was not in his calculation.

Apple Pie turned his head to look at Du Fei again. Du Fei still had a calm expression, as if he had expected it.
