Chapter 1230: New Life (Eighty-Six)
The entrance to the storage site is also the entrance to the cave, but the concealment is very good, and it is actually built behind a material warehouse.
Qin Yao told me that at least two-thirds of the material storage of Life No. 2 was distributed from here, but it was usually strictly forbidden for unrelated personnel to enter here, and it was only guarded by a few of Qin Yao's henchmen, so the concealment of the vehicles here could be further guaranteed.
"Why do you pay so much attention to vehicles?
"I can't say that I expected it, but it is still necessary to take precautions, although Dongkou Province seemed to be calm some time ago, but I know very well that this is just an illusion, although the cold can block the invasion of Gu and spiritual energy, but it can't stop other threats, even if it is the invasion of other humans, it will be a matter of time. Qin Yao said.
I nodded.
We checked the supplies and found that most of the items had already been removed, and I was a little worried that someone would happen to find the location of the hidden cart while transporting the supplies, but I soon realized that I was thinking too much.
Qin Yao's protection measures are much stricter than I thought, she actually used the blood melt stone, the entrance of the cave is not only covered by a large number of cold-resistant vegetation and various camouflages, but also blocked by the blood melt stone on the main road of the entrance, no wonder ordinary people can't find this place at all.
Qin Yao told me that she would come in person every two weeks or so to check the performance of the vehicle, so we could use it with confidence.
Then, without waiting for me to speak, Qin Yao stepped forward and cut his finger with a knife, dripping blood on the blood melt stone at the entrance, looking like he was familiar with it, he must have "self-harmed" like this before.
However, this is mostly because Qin Yao himself already has the ability to use spiritual energy to recover himself.
Qin Yao told me that after entering, there was a gate that could only be opened from the inside, and we could drive the car out of the gate later, and then the gate would close automatically, and there would still be no trace from the outside.
"What are you doing with all this effort? I said, "We're not going to come back after we leave." ”
"Why?" Qin Yao obviously didn't expect me to say such a thing: "We have already established a complete production line here, and even food is self-sufficient, do you want to give up here?"
"I mean...... Dongkou Province may not be suitable for long-term living. I said.
"If you can't even live in Dongkou Province, then there is no place to live in it for a long time. Qin Yao shook his head and said, "If you are sure of my advice, then I suggest that you should treat Dongkou Province as one of your rear bases." ”
"Now that the voodoo and Qianqian have invaded here, can Dongkou Province live for a long time?" I said incredulously.
"Isn't it true that what we're doing now is to get rid of them, and since you don't intend to kill the Moon Spirit, I'm sure she'll be of great help to some extent. ”
I didn't tell Qin Yao that my current focus had already shifted from Dongkou Province to our Taoyuan Island and Langli Island in Myanmar, because I still needed the support of Qin Yao and her wanderers for the time being.
......
After entering the interior, I found that as Qin Yao said, there were more than a dozen mountain off-road vehicles parked completely, and each car was the same as the attacked car where Zhao Youkuang was located that we just found, after a lot of reinforcement and modification, and I even saw that one of the off-road vehicles was equipped with a base for erecting firearms.
And this off-road vehicle is also slightly larger than the other vehicles, so I chose this one first.
Since we still have some of the first-generation test subjects with us, one car is definitely not enough, and in the end, I chose another vehicle of similar size for Qin Yao to drive, and she and I each drove one, which was just enough to take all of us now, including those first-generation test subjects, with us.
Before we could start the car, though, we heard a violent explosion coming from the center of the Life 2 stronghold, and I heard what appeared to be raining outside.
"It's coming from the stronghold!" I immediately asked Qin Yao, "It doesn't seem to be too far away from us!"
Qin Yao's expression was not panicked, on the contrary, I found that she was even a little excited, and at the same time, she also raised her eyebrows at me and said, "How is it! My guess just now is correct! It's Zhao Youkuang who is here! Now we can know what the other three men are!"
"You're just going to explode from one...... Can you deduce that it's Zhao Youkuang?" I said in surprise, "Maybe it's some kind of special energy creature." ”
"No matter how special they were, they couldn't have made such a powerful explosion. Qin Yao said with a confident look: "We have arranged some explosives in the center of the stronghold that will not be used unless they are a last resort, this is used as a final defense, there are very few people who know these explosives and how to activate them, and Zhao Youkuang is one of them, who do you think can detonate them now?"
"So it sees...... The garrison in your stronghold is still quite solid, and there is such a defense in the inner layer. I said with amazement.
"That's nature. Although Qin Yao didn't say it explicitly, there was a feeling of "don't look at who is leading" in her tone.
"But now that Amy and Moon Spirit are on the brink of death, we can't afford to waste time. I said.
Xiao Chen...... Not to mention whether they are in danger or not, after all, they are only in a coma now, even if they do, don't you think that after we find Zhao Youkuang, we may be able to get a simpler and more effective way?"
"What's the solution?" I said in my heart that the Moon Spirit had already given me a solution, which was to bring our three key people together, and I really didn't know any other course of action.
"Naturally, you can only know after you find Zhao Youkuang!" Qin Yao said: "And if you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find Zhao Youkuang in the future! She is in my stronghold, no one here knows better than me! Also! There is an entrance to the secret passage of the stronghold in the center of the stronghold, Zhao Youkuang and they must have encountered a surprise attack now, and after being forced to detonate explosives, they will naturally enter the secret passage, and once they enter here...... With your help, it's easy to catch them!"
I looked at Qin Yao steadily, still hesitating, and Qin Yao further assured me that the moment of arrest would not exceed fifteen minutes, and then I completely strengthened my belief and nodded and let Qin Yao lead the way.
In a hurry, we simply drove out and began to speed straight to the center of the stronghold.
I have to say that under Qin Yao's management, everything in the Life No. 2 stronghold is quite excellent, even the road conditions are quite perfect.
It would have been a mess after a hasty retreat of a group of people, but the roads here were almost unobstructed, thanks to the orderly planning of the original roads.
But as we quickly approached the heartland...... Varying numbers of corpses began to appear on the ground, as well as the debris of buildings that had been brought out by the explosion.
It seems that the explosion just now had a fairly wide area, and I saw that many houses around it were directly flattened.
Now Qin Yao's vehicle is driving in front, and I am following closely behind, and the road at this time has become extremely steep, not because the road itself is difficult to walk, but because there are more and more debris corpses on the ground, that is, the car we are driving is more resistant to bumps, otherwise if it were an ordinary vehicle, I am afraid that it would have been impossible to move for a long time.
Qin Yao's driving skills are quite superb, and the current torrential rain is pouring down, which more or less obstructs my vision, causing me to have to concentrate all my attention to barely keep up.
Due to our extremely fast speed, we didn't even use it for more than five minutes from the beginning to the end of the drive, and finally Qin Yao parked the car inside a bungalow garage that had not been damaged, and I also drove the car in.
After the car was settled, we returned from the house, and then Qin Yao quickly pointed out to me the entrance point of the secret passage in the center of the stronghold.
Originally, the location of the entrance was the usual location of important meetings in the Life 2 base, but the entrance to the secret passage here is still hidden, because it is also constructed of bloodmelt stone.
It seems that those wandering craftsmen under Qin Yao have already mastered the method of how to use blood melt stone to participate in the construction of buildings.
I immediately held my breath and relaxed, dissipating all the energy in my body, trying to perceive all the possible energy sources around me, but it was still useless.
I felt a little incredible, because I had already seen a lot of Gu and the corpses of energy creatures just now, if there was still a single creature alive nearby, I should be aware of it, but in fact, I still didn't feel any sense now.
When you are outside the stronghold, you may not feel it or describe it as too far away, but now?
I told Qin Yao about my perception, and Qin Yao immediately pointed out to me that this might be related to the rainstorm that is falling in the sky now, because these rainstorms are all falling from the clouds composed of Qianqian's energy, which must be mixed with a lot of energy, perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that my energy perception has problems.
Although I don't think that's entirely true, there's really no other explanation for it now.
Fortunately, this rainstorm will not have any other negative effects after it falls on us, otherwise we will face greater difficulties.
"Since you can't feel it, you don't have to worry about it so much. Qin Yao looked up at the rainstorm in the sky and said, "And this is not necessarily a bad thing. ”
"What do you mean?" I asked, frowning.
"This rainstorm...... It is likely that it has largely suppressed our energy. Qin Yao said with a subtle expression: "Pay attention...... I'm afraid it's not just psionic power this time......"
I was slightly shocked at this, which I hadn't realized before, because there was almost no place for me to use my energy all the way down.
After listening to Qin Yao's words, I immediately tried to shoot a wave of energy in front of me, and the result was completely unexpected.
I originally thought that even if the energy was suppressed, there should be some weak energy waves that could be hit, but in fact, my gesture of raising my hand and waving my hand was completely in vain...... There wasn't a trace of breath coming out of my palms.
I was startled, thinking that even the energy in my body had disappeared, but after further testing, I found that the strength and speed in my body had not disappeared, at least at the same level as before.
......
In this way, this inhibition effect is still purely external, and the part of the buff that has already been obtained through energy within the creature will not be affected in any way.
"How is it?" Qin Yao said, "I'm not wrong. ”
I nodded: "It's really impossible to say whether this is good or bad for us, if we are now facing a large number of enemy attacks, I am helpless!"
Qin Yao smiled: "Don't worry, there are no large numbers of enemies here, and even if there are, we have a secret passage here to maneuver." ”
After finishing speaking, Qin Yao quickly ran forward.
Since this rain is harmless to us, there is no need for us to care about the rain, I immediately followed, and after turning three street entrances in a row, we trampled on the corpses of various animals on the ground and came to the center of the stronghold, which was the place where Qin Yao said that they had a meeting.
There is an abandoned bell tower, and below the bell tower are some low-rise buildings with two to three floors.
This is also the place where the number of corpses is concentrated, and the surrounding buildings are also the most damaged, and the bell tower and low buildings I just mentioned are almost the last surviving buildings in this area, and it seems that this is where the explosion started.
Naturally, the entrance to the secret passage would not be in the explosion area, because if Zhao Youkuang detonated it, it would be impossible for her to cut off the back road. Sure enough, Qin Yao quickly led me through the bottom floor of the bell tower, and after passing through two low buildings in a row, we finally opened the secret passage behind a fireplace-like device on the ground.
Of course, the door of this secret passage is still made of bloodmelt stone, and it has to be said that for ordinary wanderers, without knowing it, bloodmelt stone can almost eliminate all possibilities of being discovered by outsiders.
As soon as the entrance opened, I saw a few bloody footprints on the ground, although the number was not many, but it was clearly recognizable, it seemed that someone had entered the place after being injured to deal with the injury, so there were only blood stains inside.
I said in my heart that it was best not to get Zhao Youkuang injured, because she is still of great use to her now, and if she wants to die, she will have to wait until her value is played.
