Chapter 1222: New Life (Seventy-Eight)
Maybe because of the interference of the Burmese Gu Master in the distance, I found that the clouds in the sky have become thinner now, and I feel that if I continue like this, I am afraid that Qianqian's energy will be consumed.
Did I think too highly of her?
But no matter what, since Qianqian's energy has been contained, it is a good thing for us, and even on this level, those Burmese Gu masters have become our "allies".
......
The slope of the hill where the cable car started was relatively gentle, and we quickly rushed to the ground, and although the condition of the moon spirit did not deteriorate, it showed no signs of improving.
I asked Yue Ling if she knew anything about her situation, and Yue Ling waved her hand and told me not to worry, but she couldn't participate in the next action, because she needed an absolutely quiet environment to try to eliminate the corrosive influence of Qianqian's energy in her body.
It seems that after being attacked by those creatures with Qianqian's energy in her body, the damage is even more severe than I thought, I thought she would be able to move normally after a period of recovery, but now it seems that this time is longer......
Naturally, it was impossible for Yue Ling to recuperate alone, she still needed at least a few first-generation test subjects to stay by her side to prevent being attacked by other sudden Gu objects, and after the selection, Yue Ling still decided that the four children who had carried her before would take up this "position".
However, I don't have a clue how to find Amy's location accurately, after all, the location of the area Amy gave before is only a macro approximate direction, not to mention that Amy is likely to have moved during this period, and I don't know where she is now.
The reason why I didn't take the detector with me before I left was, on the one hand, because the power of the detector itself was insufficient, and it was difficult for me to play its full role without Wenyun operation. On the other hand, because of the existence of the moon spirit, I think I can find Amy even without the help of these mechanical devices.
But now Moon Ling can't even take care of herself, let alone locate Amy's location for me......
I wanted to ask the Moon Spirit, but before I could speak, the Moon Spirit had already closed her eyes, and several children around her waved their hands to signal me not to disturb her anymore, because the Moon Spirit had now entered a state of deep meditation.
Well......
Moon Ling is not so sloppy, from her previous words, it can be inferred that Moon Ling herself is also very concerned about Amy's search, so she doesn't say anything now, she should believe that I can find Amy with my own ability.
But...... What am I capable of?
I immediately remembered that I had already established a strong and close connection with the first test subjects, and this connection was not only stronger than that of the little monitor lizard, but even stronger than the connection that Niebi had with the gecko man, and the external environmental factors had not changed, so the only explanation was that I had changed.
So...... The range of inferences has narrowed down a lot, and it seems that only the explanation for the great increase in the energy in my body remains.
And the effect of this energy enhancement is comprehensive, maybe I can not only easily get in touch with the first test subjects, but even establish a quick connection with Amy, after all, her energy is also generated by my influence.
Amy, and the other people around me, actually had an energetic connection with each other very early on, for example, when other people were seriously hurt, I could also have a slight sense of it.
So...... According to this logic, my energy is stronger now, and perhaps this sense should be more acute.
I and the other first-generation test subjects quickly separated from the moon spirit, who hid in a cave not far from the start of the cable car, and I and the other first test subjects also found a relatively open space to stop after leaving the small mound.
Now opposite me is a relatively sparse forest of dead trees, and there are actually traces of being burned by Gu fire, and there seems to be a lot of real fire mixed in it, because a lot of the forest has been burned flat.
This caused a temporary blank space in the area in front of me, and after crossing this empty space, it was almost no man's land, which means that there is almost no barrier between my current position and no man's land, and I can use this to try to sense Amy's position in advance.
At least so far, I haven't had any chest tightness and shortness of breath, which seems to indicate that Amy is not in danger for the time being.
I began to learn the same way I used to control the monitor lizard, allowing the breath to expand from the inside out of my pores, and soon I noticed a faint mist evaporating around me.
My energy is indeed much stronger than before, at least I have never seen this level of visible fog when I was doing the same thing before.
As I continued to disperse, the mist quickly spread out in the direction of the fan-shaped area in front of me, that is, the no-man's land, and then I began to repeat the inhalation and exhalation movements, trying to make the energy as evenly distributed as possible.
It works well...... But the results were not satisfactory, because I had been sensing for more than ten minutes, and I didn't find any signs of people, not even the movement of an energy creature.
Could it be that the no-man's land is really "empty" now?
I quickly retracted my breath and looked into the faces of the children on all sides, expecting to get some constructive advice from them, but the children were simply indifferent......
I frowned, or what I just thought, since the moon spirit didn't give me any hints, it means that she thinks that I must have the ability to find Amy on my own, but now I have no clue, could it be that the moon spirit overestimated me?
I feel that this possibility is even smaller, because Yue Ling's judgment of people and things is still quite accurate, at least in my memory, except for Qianqian this time, she has never had any mistakes.
Damn it!
Since I can't feel it from a distance, I'll just go straight to the nearest place!
With a wave of my hand, I told the first test subjects around me to try to brace themselves and keep an eye on everything going on nearby, as I had to keep my eyes on Amy.
We began to walk through the empty area just now, step by step, and after walking for about ten minutes, I was the first to see the wreckage of the cable car that fell from the sky before, but the corpses left in it before are now gone, I guess they should have been assimilated and "resurrected" by Qianqian's energy.
If this is the case, then the entire Qinhuai Mountain Range should have been full of Qianqian people now, but the reality is the opposite, we have come this way, except for the area of the Burmese Gu Master, I have hardly seen any energy creatures, let alone normal living people.
Could it be that they were all sent by Qianqian to attack the Burmese Gu Master?This explanation seems a bit far-fetched, not to mention that the energy creatures I saw on the cable car are also very limited, if Qianqian really did that, the energy creatures at that time should be overwhelming.
I started to move forward, but my pace quickened a lot, because I was now sure that there wasn't much of a threat around me, after all, with my current energy perception strength, if there were any slightly more powerful energy creatures around, I would definitely sense it earlier.
It's my third time in this no-man's land, and I'm still pretty much the same as the last time I left, barely different from the large number of corpses missing.
I focused on examining the section of the gondola car I had just seen, and found some clearly recognizable traces of concentrated water at the bottom of the carriage, as if there were resentful spirits who had stayed there.
And looking at the situation of the thick water, it was clear that it had only been left for a short time, so I immediately looked around, and sure enough, I soon found more traces of energy creatures.
The children around me were also experienced in a hundred battles, and their combat qualities were not even comparable to many adults, and they soon began to follow me to find traces of these resentful spirits, and soon a few children found a place where the traces of thick water were most concentrated.
This...... It was a long and narrow path made up of traces of thick water, and it looked like a dozen or so resentful spirits had rushed through it.
As soon as I wanted to continue observing, I heard a little kid shouting at me, "Brother Xiao Chen! Come and see!
I was taken aback, because I had already checked around and found no traces of footprints at all, so how could I have found them out of thin air now?
However, when I went up to take a look, I realized that the footprints were actually hidden by a mixture of thick water and stones, and some dead grass was hidden on them, making it even more difficult for outsiders to notice without looking closely.
I admired the observation of these children, and said that they deserved to have escaped from the Origin Project and lived until now, which can be said to be one in a million.
I removed all the rocks and weeds, and soon found that the shoe print was exactly the same size as Amy's, and even the pattern on the bottom of the shoe was exactly the same.
But what really caught my attention was the other footprint next to it, this one looked slightly smaller than Amy's, the shoe print was flat and unpatterned.
Well...... Although I only have a few relationships with Qin Yao, because Qin Yao once attacked me with her own hands and did kick me with her feet, I still have some general impressions of her shoes.
Qin Yao's shoes must be flat shoes, and the size of the feet is likely to be about the same as this shoe print.
Could this really be left by Qin Yao?
That means ...... Amy found Qin Yao?
Although it is not quite in line with the situation I imagined before to find Zhao Youkuang, it can be regarded as an accident.
It's just that...... Why didn't these two girls choose to return to the Life No. 2 stronghold after they met, but ran back to this no-man's land?
You must know that Qin Yao is the "big boss" in Life No. 2, she has no reason and should not abandon her stronghold and run to such a dangerous zone instead.
Unless there is some compelling reason!
I quickly thought about it in my head, but I found it difficult to find a plausible explanation with my own imagination now.
Instead of thinking wildly, it is better to follow the trail in front of you!
Thanks to the foreshadowing of the first footprints, I soon found more footprints, and it was from this that I realized that Amy had probably deliberately hidden her footprints, and that they were probably deliberately trying to hide their tracks.
Still, I was able to figure out the final path of these footprints, and I found that they eventually led to the heart of the no-man's land, where I first found the resentful spirit!
That place was just three rooms connected to each other underground, I had already checked it in detail at the time, there were no other passages or secret doors, why did they run into such a "dead end"?
At this moment, I and the other original test subjects were standing at the underground entrance to the three houses, and we were absolutely silent as we approached, and I listened for a while as we got closer, but there was no sound.
I thought about it for a moment, because now the footprints disappeared after arriving here, so I can be sure that Amy and another person who is likely to be Qin Yao did enter here, and there were no footprints that came out, so they didn't come back again at all after they entered.
I was a little excited, because I didn't expect to find Amy so easily, but before I could be happy, I heard a strange scream from the bottom, followed by a rumbling sound coming from the bottom of my feet.
I was taken aback, because judging by the position of the sound, although it was also the sole of the foot, it was clearly in a deeper position!
I immediately reacted, although there were no other passages in those three rooms, in fact, there were underground floors extending deeper underground!
This is not surprising, and it makes perfect sense, since the subway passage we walked through earlier was already part of the underground level of the neighborhood.
But what the hell is this roar now? And that rumbling sound...... It's clearly the sound of footsteps!
I've seen a huge ape before, and now that I hear it, it seems to be a creature of the same size!
Are there more?
Due to the suddenness of the incident, my plan changed temporarily, I originally planned to go inside a little bit steadily, but now there is no time for me to delay, I let the other children cover the perimeter, and I myself jumped directly below with a Gu musket.
But as soon as I landed, I heard a voice sound from behind me: "Don't move!
