Chapter 175: Pig "Substitute"
The one that was crippled by Thomas was .
This pig was a " stand-in , while Li Qing himself had been hiding in the pigpen opposite the big boar.
When the big boar ran out of the pigsty to attract fire, Li Qing took advantage of the opportunity created by his "fellow brother" at the risk of his life and jumped out of the pigsty unexpectedly, attacking Thomas from behind.
At this moment...
Thomas was stunned and flustered when he heard his supervisor's rebuke.
Wrong pig? How is that possible?
If that pig was not Li Qing, why would it rush out of the pigsty and attack him for no reason?
Thomas couldn't come up with an answer.
It is difficult for humans to know why this is the case, but pigs know, and Li Qing knows - it is because of the smell.
Pigs have very poor eyesight and can only rely on their sense of smell to perceive the world in most cases.
Therefore, in the pig world, the sense of smell can carry extremely rich information.
For example, Li Qing can clearly smell it...
The big boar exuded the scent of male hormones all over its body. That special pheromone was announcing to all its kind around it that it was in intense estrus.
As for Thomas, in order to occupy the field of vision, he chose to stand on the low wall of a sow pigpen.
Being so close to the pigpen had already stained his body with a little sow smell, and then he accidentally fell into the pigpen and was stained by urine on the ground, which made the sow even stronger.
That is to say…
Because pigs have such poor eyesight that they cannot distinguish whether the shadow in front of them is a human or a pig, so if you look at it from the perspective of a pig that only uses its sense of smell to distinguish things, Thomas is now... just a living, fragrant sow.
Sometimes people can't even control their lower body, let alone pigs.
If a boar in estrus smells a sow nearby, he will definitely lose control.
Therefore, the big boar was not actually attacking Thomas just now, but was showing his bravery and forcefully asking for sex from him.
Unfortunately, Thomas ignored its advances and fired a volley of bullets at it instead.
"Now!"
Li Qing jumped up and rushed towards Thomas at high speed.
After smelling these scents, he deliberately hid in the pigpen opposite the big boar, just for this moment.
However... at this critical moment, Thomas seemed to have predicted the future, and suddenly dodged to the side when Li Qing just jumped out of the pigpen.
The pig's charging speed is not slow, but its weakness is that its body is not flexible enough and it cannot turn and micro-manipulate in time.
So, Thomas just slightly turned his body, and Li Qing's pig nose missed and then hit the wall of the pigpen opposite heavily.
The pig's skin is rough, its meat is thick, and its nose bones are very hard.
Li Qing didn't suffer much damage from hitting the wall, but the unexpected failure of his attack made him feel cold in his heart:
"How could this happen... How could this guy react so quickly?"
"Does he have eyes on his back?"
"etc…"
In a split second, Li Qing realized something:
"He just said that this pig farm itself is a stand-in."
The wireless headphones Thomas was wearing, the "self-talk" he made into the headphones from time to time, and the shocking information that this pig farm was a substitute...
All these combined made Li Qing suddenly realize that he was not just fighting with Thomas.
Behind Thomas, there is a technology team leader who is secretly monitoring everything and providing Thomas with a 360-degree view of the battlefield.
“Damn it…”
Li Qing suddenly realized that he had no way of launching a sneak attack when the enemy had a "full map view".
Of course, he did not become discouraged and sit there waiting for death, because although the flame of hope suddenly became dim, it still had a breath left.
The sneak attack did fail, but the trick he had used to transform himself into a substitute by using the Boar Brothers had successfully made Thomas relax his guard and allowed him to get close to Thomas.
"We are so close now, he can't use grenades again."
"As long as I can get him before he reloads and fires, he will be drawn into close combat..."
“This is the opportunity!”
Li Qing quickly turned his head and stared at the black shadow not far in front of him with his highly myopic eyes.
Thomas was backing away in panic, frantically reloading his gun.
He seemed really frightened by the series of unexpected events that had just happened.
The calmness on his face that he had when he was using words to force Li Qing to show up completely disappeared, replaced by a pale look of helplessness.
An annoyed rebuke came from the wireless headset.
The voice was so angry and loud that even Li Qing, who was several meters away, could hear it.
But the harsher and more ruthless the rebuke, the more Thomas acted - the bullet that could have been easily stuffed into the barrel actually fell to the ground when he trembled.
“Success!”
Li Qing's heart was filled with excitement.
He had to thank the enemy for his mistakes and thank himself for his luck.
This low-level mistake gave him extremely critical time, allowing him to successfully cross the short distance of a few meters and pounce on Thomas.
Because the distance is too short and the acceleration time is insufficient, Li Qing's current Pig Dash does not actually exert much power.
But even so, it was not a pleasant feeling to be suddenly pounced into the arms of a 300-pound monster.
Thomas staggered back due to the push of the pig's nose, and he used all his strength to keep himself steady and avoid being knocked over by Li Qing.
It must be said that his physical fitness is excellent.
This is not surprising. As a Stand user, eight-pack abdominal muscles are basically standard.
In this way, Thomas tried his best to hold up Li Qing's pig head with both hands. The man and the pig were temporarily deadlocked and the fight ended in a "fighting".
But Li Qing has already smelled the scent of victory:
“I won!”
"I have successfully entangled him, and his Stand ability has lost its effect."
"And in a pure strength contest, there's no way this guy can beat a pig."
That is exactly the case.
Thomas's resistance was very reluctant. If he continued like this, sooner or later Li Qing would knock him to the ground and have his throat bitten by the fangs.
However, this dangerous situation seemed to have aroused his desire to survive, causing him to burst out with strength far beyond his usual level.
"Get. Out. Of. Me!"
Thomas' face was flushed red and veins popped out of his arms.
Then, he pushed forward with such force that Li Qing's body was pushed back slightly.
Yes, the maximum force he exerted was only enough to push his 300-pound body forward a few centimeters.
However, because he was pushed out a few centimeters, Li Qing suddenly felt that his body was completely out of control.
It's like stepping on empty air on an icy staircase in the northern winter...
Li Qing felt his feet slip, and the whole pig could not control itself and slowly slid backwards.
It was still slipping at first, but later it simply broke away from gravity, and all four hooves left the ground and flew into the air, accelerating away.
“Hehe——”
Li Qing let out a surprised roar in mid-air. He really didn't expect the situation to turn out like this.
The force that Thomas just burst out was not enough to throw Li Qing, who currently weighed 300 kilograms, such a long distance like a dart.
From the perspective of conservation of momentum, this is extremely unscientific.
But in this strange world where the power of stand exists, Sir Newton would have been angered to death long ago.
“Ahem…”
Thomas, who had exerted too much force, coughed violently.
"Don't make any mistake. I took the risk of approaching this side not just to raise the stakes and lure you out."
"I dare to take risks because I have ways to ensure my own safety—"
He gasped for air, a difficult smile forming on his lips:
"For my mission to be accomplished..."
"Anything that I can move, even if it's just a little bit, is considered a "throwing object."
