Chapter 1224: New Life (Eighty)
It seemed that Yue Ling hoped that Qin Yao would be surprised, but Qin Yao just sneered and said, "Trust me, I know more about her than you do." ”
"Really?" Yue Ling finally looked at Qin Yao this time: "I heard that you are also an important figure among the wanderers, so how much do you know about her?"
Qin Yao frowned: "You...... What the hell are you trying to say?"
This time, it was replaced by Yue Ling sneered a few times and said, "I don't need to say it, you will see it soon." ”
After saying that, the moon spirit waved her hand, and the children who had led the way before took the lead in the entrance to the underground level, and I hurriedly followed with Amy on my back, and the moon spirit behind her was also moved in by the remaining four children carrying her.
I thought that this underground layer would definitely be filled with all kinds of strange smells that were very disgusting, but to my surprise, not only did there be no smell in this underground layer, but there was not even the slightest smell of dust, it looked more like a hidden underground residence, and there were often people moving in it.
"How is it?" Yue Ling asked Qin Yao, "Don't you claim to know Zhao Youkuang very well?"
Qin Yao stood in place, staring at the situation inside.
In front of us is a fairly well-built underground dwelling, which is different from the simple underground floors we encountered before, to put it simply, if you put the underground dwelling here on the ground, it can be called a large single-family house.
Looking at Qin Yao's expression, she knew that she didn't know this.
Sure enough, then I heard her turn to Yue Ling and ask, "What kind of place is this? You said it was built by Zhao Youkuang? What evidence is there?"
"Evidence?" Yue Ling snorted: "Do you still need evidence? In the Qinhuai Mountain Range, who do you think has the ability to establish such a place except Zhao Youkuang? And even if it wasn't made by Zhao Youkuang, do you think such a thing can be hidden from her?"
Qin Yao took a deep breath, and then said in a tone of sudden realization: "No wonder...... No wonder she's closed here!"
"That's right. Yue Ling obviously expected Qin Yao to say such a thing: "You think that the no-man's land here is because of those resentful spirits with strange whereabouts, but in fact, it is not, and on the contrary, the appearance of these resentful spirits has nothing to do with this Zhao Youkuang!"
I watched the moon spirit silently, trying to discern even the slightest trace of her lying, but the moon spirit lay flat in the hands of the four children, and her expression was unwavering.
Of course...... This is actually the expression she always likes to make.
I know very well that Yue Ling and Zhao Youkuang have had close contact before, but now that she has picked herself so cleanly, is she cheating? Or is there something inside that I don't know much about?
I still didn't speak, just quietly listened to the next conversation between Qin Yao and Yue Ling.
Qin Yao paused and continued to ask, "Then why did Zhao Youkuang build such a place?"
"Don't you understand?" Although Yue Ling said to Qin Yao, it was actually more like talking to me......
I only heard Yue Ling continue: "The time for the resentment spirit to manifest in the Qinhuai Mountain Range is before the Qianqian energy appears, what does this mean?"
I couldn't help but say, "Explain...... Long before Qianqian launched her attack, someone was already paving the way for her!"
"Yes!" Moon Ling nodded at me with satisfaction, "Then who do you think this person will be?"
I almost blurted out "Isn't it you?", but I still can't bear to go back to the words, and I still don't dare to pierce this layer of window paper.
Qin Yao naturally didn't have so many thoughts from me, she just thought about it for a while, and then said very cautiously: "Could it be ...... Is it Zhao Youkuang?"
Yue Ling nodded: "It's all said and done, if you can't guess it, then your IQ is probably the same as Xiao Chen." ”
I thought Moonspirit was joking, so I didn't mind much, but soon I realized that her expression wasn't a joke at all, because there wasn't the slightest smile on her face.
Qin Yao gave me a strange look, probably she didn't expect Yue Ling to say this about me.
If it were a normal time, I would definitely take the opportunity to have a few words with the moon spirit, but I'm really not in the mood for that right now.
I began to follow the other children into the lead.
This is indeed a well-built and well-defended underground space, with a total area of about five or six hundred square meters, not only a large number of daily necessities, but also a considerable amount of weapons reserves.
Judging by the use of tools nearby, there have been people here for at least the last three days, and I even saw some beds and messy bedding on them.
"Who lives here?" I turned back to Yueling and asked, "You were told it was Zhao Youkuang!"
"Of course it won't be her. Yue Ling shook his head: "You don't want to think about how Zhao Youkuang, as the leader of the Wanderers, needs to meet other Wanderers frequently, how can he live here quietly." ”
"Who could that be?" I asked, confused.
Although I don't know all the wanderers under Zhao Youkuang, I still know some of the representative figures, and among these people, I really can't find a person who has the ability to take on this task, because the people who live here are 100% inseparable from the resentment spirit here, and they can even be said to be the main responsible person.
"You'll know when the time comes. Yue Ling said with a smile.
I am very familiar with this kind of smile of hers, which means that she will not continue to answer this question, I saw that Qin Yao looked like she wanted to continue to ask, so I hurriedly stopped her, instead of dwelling on this, it is better to take a look at the situation in front of me.
Now that the moon spirit has brought us down, it clearly means that there are other entrances and exits to the outside world, and I looked around and didn't find any passages, so ...... There must be more secret doors here.
I'm quite experienced in finding all kinds of secret doors, and the moon spirit didn't point out the location next to it, so it seems that he wants to take the opportunity to continue to test me.
And I just made the same old mistake, every time I got the "assessment content" of the moon spirit, there was a conflict that I couldn't wait to complete, and I felt that I couldn't accept the disappointment of the moon spirit after the mission failed......
It's just that...... I overlooked a fundamental question, would the Moon Spirit really be disappointed in me, and according to what she had said to me before, it was unlikely, but I still believed that there was still such an emotion in the heart of the Moon Spirit.
As the search for the secret door increased, I became more aware of the structure of this underground space.
Although it is a large area, there should not be many people living there, because I only saw three beds, and there are not a lot of cutlery and the like.
It looks like there should only be two or three people living here.
The number of people is so small, but it is so closely related to the generation of resentment spirits, it means that this person is at least a person who is familiar with Gu arts, but this is not enough, just relying on Gu arts, maybe so many resentful spirits can be generated by manufacturing, this person should also have some relatively advanced knowledge, combined with Gu arts, to achieve the final result.
While thinking about this, I was also looking for traces in the vicinity, the people here had only evacuated two or three days ago, and at that time, there were already resentful spirits in the no-man's land, so these people should not have left from the ground, but also walked along the secret passage inside.
Since they also walked through the secret passages, I only need to follow the suspicious traces on the ground to find the secret door.
After all, I've been shuttling in the mountains and forests for so long, and I have a little bit of an understanding of tracing and tracking, and soon I found some footprints that were obviously the latest to step on.
The reason why these footprints were found was that one of the shoe prints had a lot of dirt attached to it, and it was felt that this person must have entered from the outside, and later escaped through the secret passage with the others.
What's more, this one is so small that it doesn't look like a man's foot, while some of the other prints are several turns larger.
Well...... It is supposed that a woman left with several other men, and judging from the use of beds and living tools just now, the number of these men must be within "three".
Woman......
Could it be......
"Yes, it's Zhao Youkuang. "Yue Ling seemed to be able to read minds, and Zhao Youkuang's name suddenly appeared behind me.
"How did she get here?" I said in amazement.
"Of course she'll run here. Yue Ling seemed to be a little speechless and said: "I have already reminded you just now, if you want to live here for a long time without being discovered, you naturally have to be protected by Zhao Youkuang, and these people must have a very close relationship with Zhao Youkuang, now that Zhao Youkuang is killed, the people under her are dead and fleeing, and the only people she can rely on are here." ”
"And where did they go?" I blurted out.
"Just follow the shoe prints you just found. Yue Ling said lightly: "Zhao Youkuang shouldn't have expected that besides her and those men, there are other people who also know about this place, so he doesn't care enough about hiding his traces." ”
I feel that the thoughts in my heart have indeed been grasped by the moon spirit......
I quickly followed the previous shoe prints and continued to search, and sure enough, I finally found traces of a secret door on one of the walls, and the workmanship of this secret door was quite perfect, and if there were no shoe prints to lead the way, I am afraid that I would not be able to find it for a while.
The secret door was very strong, I wanted to try to force it open, but to no avail, and finally it was a small sculpture on my right hand that the moon spirit prompted, and after I moved the upper port of the sculpture, I found that there was actually an iris recognition device inside, and it was actually electrified.
I immediately swept my eyes up, and the secret door opened.
It's actually a security gate......
But this is also a redundant procedure, with my current strength, even if I can't push it away, then I can use brute force to force it open, at most a few more times.
......
After the secret door opened, a large fishy smell rushed to the face, it seems that the "elegant environment" we just enjoyed has ended, and the passage behind this secret door must lead to the regular underground level, otherwise there will be no such disgusting smell.
Before we left, we picked and scavenged all the weapons and equipment here, and even the moon spirit herself took a few stone gravel guns that we had in hand.
"I didn't expect you to use these mortal weapons. I deliberately sneered.
However, I was immediately scolded back by the moon spirit: "I told you not to treat me as an immortal, how many times do you need me to remind your brain?"
Instead of continuing to fight with her, I began to lead the way towards the passage ahead.
The other first-generation test subjects immediately followed, and I was now relieved to find that Amy on her back was unconscious, but her breathing was still steady.
However, I was quickly regained by the content of the mural patterns on both sides.
That's right...... This damn passage is also covered with mural patterns, and this time the content of the pattern is something I have never seen before, showing a lot of strange human figures, and most of the people on these murals are in the state of the moment before they died.
Some were choked by a sword, some were pierced through the heart, and some were stoned......
In short, there are all kinds of strange ways to die, I can think of anything, I can't think of it, there is everything above.
The frescoes were so creepy that I didn't look at them at all, and I walked through the passage for more than ten minutes before I finally saw the exit at the end of the front.
There was also a security gate at the exit, but it had been broken by an external force.
I relied on the compass of the Blade to tell that we had been heading east, which was close to the Life 2 stronghold.
Exiting the broken security gate, I found myself in another expansive underground space.
It stands to reason that if this place has been hit by a huge force, then there must have been a conflict, so there should be corpses on the ground, but at this time we are all empty, and we can't even see a single hair, and the only explanation is that the corpses here are eroded by Qianqian's energy again, and then become a monster like the "living dead".
"Is there a subway here?" I asked, turning back to the moon spirit.
Moon Ling was lying on the arms of several of the first test subjects, and it seemed that she was now struggling to speak, but she still forced herself to point out to me a few of the first test subjects around me, making it clear that she was asking them to go and find them.
I don't think the moon spirit is particularly familiar with this place, but these children around me are quite familiar.
After receiving the order of the moon spirit, the children quickly scattered and left.
