I said with some skepticism, "But that's not right...... I've seen those children just now, except for being able to scream and threaten people, they don't seem to have any other skills, and their physique seems to be at the level of ordinary Gu things. ”

Qin Yao shook his head: "That's not necessarily, you see, you and Yuechen and that Liu Yong I haven't seen, the three of you don't necessarily have to be very powerful if you act alone, but...... But the moon spirit said that if the three of you join together, something big can happen......"

"So you mean to say...... Are the four children going to join up with the others?"

"It could be a rendezvous with someone, or it could be a specific location!

Qin Yao's words sounded a bit at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it still makes sense.

It's just that even if we knew that, it wouldn't help, because the four little ones had already run away without a trace, and even if we could find them again, there would be no way to catch them against the attacks of the translucent monsters.

......

Qin Yao and I quickly approached the vicinity of the Life No. 2 stronghold, and I noticed that the closer Qin Yao got here, the more strange the expression on his face became.

"Are you still a little unhappy with their departure?" I asked.

"Who?" Qin Yao seemed to be still pretending to be confused.

"It's those people in your stronghold, you don't have to hide anything in front of me. ”

"Okay. Qin Yao nodded a little reluctantly and said, "I thought that at least a small part of them would stay and wait for me." ”

"You have to understand that when disaster comes, you have to understand this, not to mention that they are still facing an unknown horror, which is the same for everyone. I said.

"What about your people?" Qin Yao looked at me and said, "Will your people also abandon you?"

"At least most of them will. I said truthfully.

In addition to the original team members on our island, the other people, especially Bai Ye and Lu Ming, who only joined us at the last stage, will definitely give priority to protecting themselves when they encounter real danger, but this does not mean that they cannot be trusted, and now that we are short of manpower, we can't prejudice them because of a small reason in this area.

I explained the truth to Qin Yao and told her that we can't expect everyone to be so "selfless", what we have to do now is to take into account the overall situation while acquiescing to a certain selfishness.

After hearing this, Qin Yao actually laughed a few times, and then said If I am a wanderer, I am afraid there will be nothing to do with Zhao Youkuang.

I was stunned for a moment before I realized that what she said was actually to let me take Zhao Youkuang's place, I waved my hand again and again and said that this is impossible, what I am not good at is the so-called "big boss", and even I am not fully suitable for the duty of leading the sewer camp now.

......

There is now a dead silence around Life 2, which is a strong contrast to the well-equipped buildings in the stronghold.

I first found a vantage point around the stronghold and looked around the stronghold, and found that at least in the sight of my vision, there were no enemies, let alone any Gu or energy creatures.

The only thing that unnerved me was the lingering clouds above us, and although these strange clouds caused by Qianqian's energy did not continue to descend on Qianqian's phantom, I could still clearly feel the energy surging in them.

It seems that those Burmese Gu Masters who fought back against Qianqian's energy have been completely wiped out, and I can only hope that Qianqian will not find our traces for the time being.

But no matter what, these clouds really don't look offensive now, maybe it's because the attack of the Burmese Gu Master just now has damaged Qianqian's energy, and she is recuperating at this time?

If that's the case, then I have to say that those Burmese Gu Masters still delayed us for a long time.

Then I began to ask Qin Yao to point out the specific hiding places of those mountain vehicles, and Qin Yao told me that the location was in a hidden warehouse on the west side of the stronghold, built against the mountain, and it was also very close to our current commanding height, and it would take about ten minutes to reach it if you ran.

I continued to look inside the Life No. 2 stronghold for a while, and after making sure that at least there was no enemy within my field of vision, I quickly shuttled into the stronghold with Qin Yao.

Qin Yao told me that the Life No. 2 stronghold is also full of various secret passages, but it has never been useful before, and now the wanderers in the stronghold are still alive in the face of the siege of so many energy creatures, and it must be inseparable from the role of these secret passages.

I asked Qin Yao who was responsible for the construction of these secret passages, and I thought that Qin Yao herself would be responsible for building them, or at least she was also one of the main participants, but the truth was much beyond my expectations, Qin Yao actually said that this Life No. 2 stronghold had existed before they came, including the secret passages inside.

......

"So...... You don't know who these secret passages are built by?" I asked, surprised.

Qin Yao nodded.

"Have you figured out all the distribution of these secret passages?" I continued.

"Almost. Qin Yao thought for a while and then continued: "At least we still know most of the secret passage distribution, and we have drawn relevant maps before. ”

"Then it's weird......" I thought with a frown, "since it wasn't made by the Wanderer, who could it be?"

Then I naturally thought of the secret room in the no-man's land where the "three men and one woman" were hiding at the beginning, although the scale of the buildings there was very small, but the degree of subtlety was no less than the secret passage that Qin Yao said here, plus the buildings over there were also built around the beginning of the catastrophe, so ...... Could the two places also be related?

In fact, judging from the attitude and words of Yue Ling at the beginning, I can roughly infer that she probably knows these three people, and even knows their current activity location, but she didn't tell me the specific content, and I don't know what the purpose is, or just because she fainted before she could tell me?

In addition, if these three people are really the "masters" that Zhao Youkuang has been hiding, then what is their role? I really can't think of any other way to fight her than a more powerful energy source than Qianqian, and I feel that even if I use the unannounced content of the Origin Project, it will be useless.

Because if those contents are not linked to energy, then they are meaningless, and those translucent monsters just now are a good example. And if it really has something to do with energy, then how can it escape the tracking of the Salvation Army, the Blue Bird Company, and the Wanderers? Even if it is not completely discovered, there should be clues, but in fact, we have never heard of these things at all.

......

In fact, I still don't know why Qin Yao would specifically mention these secret passages, because if we want to retreat by car now, we won't need these secret passages at all, unless these secret passages can lead all the way to the vicinity of our sewer camp, but this is also completely impossible.

However, Qin Yao quickly said the reason herself, it turned out that she was suspecting that Zhao Youkuang and the other three men we had just discovered through the footprints were most likely hiding in these secret passages.

"How can you be sure?" I said suspiciously, "The area around this Qinhuai Mountain Range is so vast, why would they hide here?"

"First of all, their car just now was parked near this stronghold, and the other camps here are far away except for the Life 2 stronghold. Secondly, they were obviously attacked by some kind of creature or human at that time, and in a hurry, they would definitely choose the nearest place of refuge, and Life No. 2 Stronghold must be the best choice. ”

"So you mean to say...... In addition to you, Zhao Youkuang is also familiar with the secret passage here?" I asked.

Qin Yao nodded: "So I think there is a high probability that Zhao Youkuang is hiding here, we may be able to catch her by the way!"

I said in my heart that this is not so simple, Zhao Youkuang is more cunning than a fox, it is almost impossible for us to rely on the "way" method to succeed, and now that Amy and Moon Ling are both dead and dead, I don't have that time to waste, so everything can only be left to chance.

I told Qin Yao what I thought, and Qin Yao nodded regretfully and said, "It's okay...... After all, Zhao Youkuang can be arrested at any time, but two lives are not so easy to recover. ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Yao paused again, and then continued: "Xiao Chen...... You really don't think about killing the Moon Spirit?"

Without thinking about it, I shook my head and said, "I haven't thought about it...... And although I don't know why, I can be sure that if we really kill Moon Spirit at that time, even if she is still in a coma, then we will definitely not succeed. ”

"What do you mean, you mean that there are other hidden helpers around Yue Ling?" Qin Yao asked in surprise.

Listening to Qin Yao's tone, she seemed to think that there were creatures like those translucent monsters around Yue Ling who were like those translucent monsters we had just encountered, and I hurriedly waved my hand and said that it was not the case.

"How do you say that......" I organized my language a little before I said, "You don't have much contact with the Moon Spirit, and you don't know her yet...... She's a ...... Amazing people. ”

"Magical?" Qin Yao frowned: "I heard that she has reminded you many times, asking you not to treat her as a fairy ......"

"It's not the meaning of the gods. I waved my hand again and said, "Many of the things she did seemed illogical but proved right in hindsight, and more importantly, she kept a hold on to everything she did, like now, although she seems to be in our hands, and we have a chance to kill her, but when you do...... There will definitely be forces that stand in the way...... We can't make it......"

"Wouldn't it be better if you transferred the first-generation test subjects around her?" Qin Yao said: "Those little children will also obey your orders anyway, and as soon as they leave, I will directly attack!"

Qin Yao was able to say this, which showed that she still didn't understand what I meant. However, this is not surprising, for the particularity of the moon spirit, unless it is someone who has experienced it firsthand, it is difficult to perceive the "mystery" in it.

Of course, I only know a little about this so-called "mystery", and I am far from being proficient.

......

As we spoke, we had already followed the path of the main entrance to the west of the Life II stronghold, and now there was a dead silence around us, and there were dark clouds in the air, which gave us a rather oppressive feeling.

Fortunately, the dark clouds in the sky, although they seem scary, still do not pose a real threat.

After Qin Yao entered the No. 2 stronghold of Life, her pace was obviously much faster than just now, and it seemed that she had also arrived at the place she was most familiar with.

Qin Yao was still looking around as she walked, I could see a lot of emotion in her eyes, after all, this stronghold was also built and managed by Qin Yao herself, and now that "people go to the empty building", it is reasonable for her to feel a little strange in her heart.

But I soon found out that Qin Yao was not sad as I thought, but observing the subtle traces around us.

Qin Yao quickly found some shallow footprints on the ground, although there were not many of them, but after Qin Yao's identification, I immediately found more footprints.

This time, the footprints were not limited to "people", because many of the footprints were more like animal paw prints, and I even saw some strange-shaped footprints that I couldn't guess the species.

"See, no. Qin Yao pointed to the ground and said, "These footprints have only recently appeared......! After our people left the Life Two stronghold, other creatures followed!"

I said in my heart, could it be some energy creatures chasing after Zhao Youkuang and the other three men?

I wanted to follow these footprints, but the more I traveled to the center of the colony, the less obvious the footprints became, because there was not much dirt in the central area, and it was difficult to leave footprints, so we had to give up the search in the end.

Since we couldn't find it, Qin Yao and I quickly returned to the target of finding the vehicle, and at this time, I had already begun to use the energy on my body to explore the hidden energy sources around us, because we had already found the footprints of some unknown creatures just now.

However, I tried many times in a row, and the results were nothing.

Ten minutes later, Qin Yao had already led me to the hidden vehicle storage place she said, which was actually a cave built next to a mountain, and the scale was not large.

Qin Yao said that there are almost more than a dozen mountain off-road vehicles that can be used by us.
