We went straight through the first hole we found before, and the strange smell of the Gu semi-infected person intensified as we went deeper, and later I even felt that there was actually some corpse odor mixed with it.

I try not to distract myself from the smells, but try to keep myself on the lookout for every suspicious spot under my feet.

I soon discovered that the mural patterns also extended to the interior of these caves, but the mural patterns here were also revealed after the walls fell off, which means that the murals here were actually intentionally hidden before.

The time of the wall falling off is probably not recent, as I can barely see any fragments of the wall on the ground.

The murals here are quite complicated, almost half of the text and half of the pictures, and I noticed that some of the murals are even directly embedded in the wall, and it is clear that some places have been artificially blocked with earth and stone later.

In this way, there were actually more complicated paths to communicate here, but for some unknown reason they were cut off.

Similar to the time it took for the walls to fall off, these paths seem to have been blocked for a long time, at least not as happened in the last few months.

Jab and Xhaka were very familiar with the place, and they were walking around like monkeys in front of me, and I had to keep up with all my strength to avoid losing them.

The structure of the cave is far more complex than I expected, because it is still layered! And there are not only two floors, but I have found more than three floors of caves with similar duplex structures in many places......

In addition, the supplies inside are indeed quite abundant, and the deeper places should no longer be limited to the semi-infected, these internal caves are dry and suitable for storing supplies, and all kinds of food and tools are almost piled up into a hill.

It seems that Yabu and Zaka were right before, this is really the last refuge of the wanderers in the Qinhuai Mountains.

The structure of the caverns here is so complex, I have reason to believe that if the wanderers work together, no one will be able to take this place in a short period of time.

However, it is such a huge place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now there is not even half a figure in sight.

Judging from the previous situation on the road, it seems that the people here have suddenly encountered some emergency and all of them have been evacuated, because in many places there is even half of the food left, and some of the food is still hot. In addition, a lot of work in progress has been forcibly stopped, such as one of the caves where I found a place that was apparently used to make stone hammers, many of which were halfway through production.

After another ten minutes of walking through the caverns, I noticed that the path of Yabu and Zakha was beginning to shift downward, and I quickly chased after them and asked if they were approaching the underground passage from now on.

Jabu nodded, saying that it would be about five or six minutes away, but something wasn't quite right in the mood right now, and she told me to try to pick myself up and feel everything going on nearby.

I could see that both Jabu and Zaka were a little nervous, but I myself was the same, because this place had almost reached a level of absolute silence now, and it was as if all the time had stopped, except for the sound of the three of us breathing ourselves!

I was breathing regularly as I walked quickly, because in this absolute silence I had to create some fixed frequency of sound to keep my senses sharp.

In the same way, Yabu and Xhaka coughed from time to time as they went, both to give themselves courage and to make their surroundings look as normal as possible.

However...... Although we have been forcibly maintaining this state, strange things happen quickly.

The three of us had auditory hallucinations in our minds almost at the same time, and this time the sound was 100% not the result of a lucid dream, but more like an auditory hallucination in the conventional sense.

After all, the psionic energy and cold energy here have been almost completely isolated, so it is impossible for lucid dreams to have an effect, at least not to the extent of sound transmission.

I know a little bit about auditory hallucinations, and if you exclude the energy factor, the conditions that cause auditory hallucinations are none other than the following:

First, psychological factors caused by excessive mental stress.

Second, the effect of the drug, such as drug allergies and the side effects of some hallucinogenic drugs.

Third, physical diseases, such as auditory disorders or certain mental illnesses.

The latter two conditions can be ruled out directly, because none of the three of us have taken any medicine in the short term, and it is unlikely that those diseases will occur in the constitution blessed by energy.

Are all three of us too nervous?

However, this is not enough to explain the whole problem, because in the following communication between the three of us, I was horrified to find that everyone heard the same voice, which was the strange laughter of Moon Dust.

My first reaction was whether Yuechen had unknowingly followed us nearby, but he hadn't shown up yet, but was hiding in the shadows and observing us with a bad taste.

However, under the rotation of the three of us, we found that there was no trace of anyone else in the vicinity, and you must know that with the observation of the five senses of the three of us, it is impossible to miss even the slightest other footprint on the ground.

In addition, the way Moon Dust laughs is enough to make me creepy.

I remember very well that the first time I saw Yuechen in person on the basement side of the reservoir, she had clearly let out this horrible laugh. At that time, Yuechen was abusing and killing some Gu creatures that were locked in an iron cage, and her way of torture and killing was extremely brutal, and in the process of torture and killing, it was accompanied by such laughter.

These laughs kept appearing in my head almost like a loop, but I didn't feel the slightest dizziness, resulting in the sound quality that can be described as "high-definition lossless".

At first I could barely tolerate it, but later on, the sound began to interfere with my judgment and observation, even for me, not to mention Jab and Zaka, who kept banging their heads against the wall and trying to block them out, but to no avail.

Fortunately, although the two of them are young, they are also experienced in many battles, and in such a palpitating environment, Yabu and Xhaka still did not lose their sense of the road, but arrived in front of the underground passage we were going to according to the estimated time before.

I thought that the underground passage here was just a dim tunnel similar to the previous one, but to my surprise, I saw the subway here!

......

If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time I've seen the subway since I returned to land from the island......

The first time was in Xiangning City, and it has been at least a year since now.

Although the subway installation here is obviously based on pre-cataclysmic engineering, it is shocking enough, because the maintenance and maintenance of the subway alone is not a simple matter.

Since the Wanderer has chosen the continuous operation of this transportation system, it means that it is necessary, and the only use I can think of is transportation.

The subway leads directly to the countless workshops in the underground and underground caverns, so it is likely that this was used to transport the materials produced by those workshops.

However, it was as empty as ever.

Similarly, the people here were apparently evacuated in an emergency, as the power was not even cut off.

We are now in a similar position to the waiting platform of the subway, with two parallel tracks in front and a staff room in the back.

I even saw a simple subway map, according to which the entire underground rail path is roughly divided into three tracks, but none of them end in the Qinhuai Mountains......

One leads due north, that is, the exit area north of the Qinhuai Mountains, where I haven't been there yet.

One to the west, Yabu said that we would take this route to the headquarters in a moment, but we could not sit at the end, but had to get off halfway and go out through the hidden exit.

The last one is actually to the east, and the exit is not far from the Life 2 stronghold!

This is also the route that puzzles and worries me the most, because if this line is really passable, wouldn't it mean that Zhao Youkuang's people can launch a surprise attack on the No. 2 stronghold of Life at any time?

What's more, why didn't Qin Yao mention such important information to me either?

Could it be that my trust in Qin Yao is wrong? In fact, this Qin Yao didn't intend to confess to me from the beginning?

But this is also unlikely, because if Qin Yao didn't plan to join forces with me, then why did he sacrifice his life to save me at that time?

I thought about it and found that the only explanation seemed to be that even Qin Yao didn't go here anymore.

This possibility is still very large, because Qin Yao herself said that she and Zhao Youkuang have always been at odds, and only Zhao Youkuang knows best about the construction of facilities in the Qinhuai Mountains.

The most obvious example is the matter of the power station, Qin Yao once said that she herself did not understand where the source of the electricity was, and the entire Qinhuai Mountain Range was responsible for the power generation of the place was kept secret to most of the wanderers.

Zhao Youkuang's secret statement is to prevent the power station from being damaged by unrelated people, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

By analogy, Zhao Youkuang may be able to hide these underground facilities for the same reason.

So...... The same question arises, just like the huge underground layer before, what method did Zhao Youkuang use to hide these "behemoths"?

If it is possible to hide the simple underground layer, then if the subway facilities and power stations here are added, it is definitely impossible to achieve the news blockade without some unconventional technology.

Then, with the outlets of these subway lines outside the Qinhuai Mountains, I suddenly felt as if I was about to change my perspective on the strategic location of the entire Dongkou Province.

I used to think that the Qinhuai Mountains were the core of the wanderers in Dongkou Province, but now it seems that this is not the case, because since a large amount of the materials produced here have been transported outside the mountains, it means that the area within this mountain range is at best a "production and processing area", and the people who really use it will not expect to be in the Qinhuai Mountains for a long time.

As for the north, west, and east exits marked on the map just now, except for the Life 2 stronghold in the east, I have never set foot in the other two directions, including the former Salvation Army members and bounty hunters who are following me now.

Could it be that there are more secrets in these two places? and even Zhao Youkuang has other reserve forces?

After all, with Zhao Youkuang's cunning, she would not put all her bets on the Qinhuai Mountains.

If that's the case, then it's not a bad thing, because under Wen Yun's "lobbying", I have now changed my attitude towards the wanderer, at least I myself have now begun to actively look for a way to reconcile with Zhao Youkuang.

However, these are all later words, and for the sake of today's plan, we still have to find Ouyang Shuo and Ouyang Jingjing as soon as possible, and join up with the others.

There are now two subway cars parked on the platform, but most of the subway cars have been converted into cargo cars, and only a few of them have seats for people.

The track where one of them was on was to the west, which was the route that Yabu had just said about getting off halfway and walking to the headquarters.

I was about to say that I wouldn't drive these high-tech things myself, but I didn't expect Jab and Xhaka to say they would......

I thought they were joking, or they themselves overestimated their own abilities, and I confirmed this repeatedly, because if this train was destroyed, we would really have to go on foot, and the time consumed would undoubtedly increase significantly.

However, Yabu said that Ouyang Shuo had personally taught them how to drive the subway, and it was not difficult, and the two had already been familiar with each other.

Well...... From this point of view, Ouyang Shuo should have more information in his hands than Qin Yao, and I can't wait to meet Ouyang Shuo again.

Now that I was sure that they would drive, I took the two of them directly into the driver's compartment at the front of the car, and as soon as I came up, I saw a mess in the ground, which should have been someone spilling food in a hurry, and the soup on the ground was still steaming out.

I rub ......

It felt like it didn't take more than ten minutes, and I hurriedly scanned the front and back of the train's tracks, but still didn't find anything.

The entire subway facility is also powered by electricity, and as Yabu and Zaka expertly operate it in front of the driver's seat, I heard a slight roar from the subway.

At the same time, the laughter of the Moon Dust Monster that had been chattering in our ears all this time had finally disappeared.
