Chapter 182: Underground Movement
Goo-goo~
In the center of the camp, a pile of firewood burned to the fullest, and above the flame was an iron pot that was erected, and the inside of the pot was steaming, and the water was about to boil.
On the side, several soldiers cleaned up the bobtail, cut it into pieces of meat, and threw them all into it along with the spices.
After a while, a large amount of fat and meat stains floated in the pot, and the meat of this bobtail beast was thick and oily, and someone needed to keep cleaning out the fat and meat stains from the stew when stewing.
But soon, when the aroma of meat wafted out along with the aroma of spices, the whole camp was filled with a warm atmosphere.
In the cold wasteland, the sky is getting dark, and it is a happy thing to be able to cook such a pot of meat, and everyone sits around and chats while waiting to eat meat.
"Consultant Zhao, did you find any clues just now?" And while the soldiers were sitting around the pot, Mr. Zou and Zhao Xiaochuan were in the tent, their faces a little solemn.
"Lao Zou, why did you and Zeng Che calculate Zeng Ming together in the first place, and put the initial trial point of the trialists from your No. 77 Vault in the swamp area, is there any reason?" Zhao Xiaochuan did not directly answer Mr. Zou's question, but asked rhetorically.
He has been thinking about this issue for the past few days, after all, Zeng Che and Zeng Ming are not dealing with each other, in fact, the biggest reason is that both of them should be rising stars of the Zeng family, leaders among this generation of young people.
And Zeng Che, as the 14th generation of the eldest grandson of the Zeng family, naturally grew up with a golden spoon. But it's a pity that Zeng Che is young now, so he doesn't have any merits worth taking.
And there was another Zeng Ming in the house.
Zeng Ming was four or five years older than Zeng Che, and he was now the commander of the major battalion of Vault 77. But he is a side branch of the Zeng family, so although his own ability is outstanding, his status is very different from Zeng Chelai.
Therefore, the contradiction between these two people should also come from this.
But what does this have to do with the swampy area?
"It's not the swamp that's important, it's the people."
Looking at Zhao Xiaochuan's puzzled look, Mr. Zou smiled slightly and began to explain: "Among the people who came to participate in the trial in Vault 77 this time, there is one person who is very crucial, so I specially came to the swamp area to protect her safety in this trial. ”
"Huh? You're not here to protect your niece, but for this person? Zhao Xiaochuan was slightly stunned, and at the same time looked disdainful: "You old man, you don't even care about your niece?" ”
“...... Ahh That girl still needs me to take care of it!? When Mr. Zou heard this, he was immediately angry: "You go and ask that girl, where have you heard my discipline since you were a child?" I told her not to continue cultivating, but to study with me, isn't it good to be a scholar? But this girl just has to cultivate spiritual power and build various spell patterns. It's better now, I signed up for the trial without telling me, and I was selected! If I hadn't been able to beat her, I would have served her in the family! ”
"The last sentence is the point..."Zhao Xiaochuan was speechless for a while.
This surnamed Zou looked like a kind-hearted person when he first met, and after getting acquainted with it, he knew that this old guy was a dog who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard.
"Besides, that little girl and Consultant Zhao are taken care of, I don't need to do it too much, maybe taking care of it will take care of your feelings, right?" Mr. Zou looked obscene: "Xiaochuan, you are still young, I don't know that Lori has three good, and the sound is beautiful and the body is easy..."
"Get out!"
Zhao Xiaochuan suddenly glared at Mr. Zou angrily, and sure enough, he was worthy of being a person who had married seven wives, and his thoughts were simply dirty to a certain extent: "To get down to business, then who are you here for?" What is the identity of that person? ”
"Ahem, the illegitimate daughter of our Vault Commander, isn't this news exciting?"
"The Commander's illegitimate daughter? Then you really have to protect her, didn't you just ask me what I found? Zhao Xiaochuan smiled slightly and pointed to the ground: "Down here, there is something." ”
"Sour Poison Beast!?"
Mr. Zou was suddenly startled: "Is it the acid poison beast that has started digging through the underground passage?" ”
"Yes." Zhao Xiaochuan nodded.
Since the last time he encountered the poison envoy and was attacked by the acid poison beast from underground, Zhao Xiaochuan has been paying attention to the situation underground, so he specially bought the summoned beast card of [Digger Beast].
So after entering the wasteland, Zhao Xiaochuan directly summoned the digging beast and placed it underground, paying attention to the movements below at any time. And because the digging beast can communicate with Zhao Xiaochuan from its underground home, Zhao Xiaochuan also let it explore everywhere and try to grasp all the underground situations nearby.
And just when he was hunting the short-tailed beast before, Zhao Xiaochuan also received the news from the digging beast, and at the edge of the swamp area, there were traces of acid pangolins that were opening up underground passages!
Although the number of acid pangolins is not large, it is already a signal.
The poison envoy should have set his sights on the swamp area.
"Sure enough, this poisonous envoy should take advantage of this time to open a passage under the entire trial area, and attack the people who participated in the trial when the time comes. In the event of an attack on the trialists, the soldiers and guards in charge of protection, as well as the hunters and gang members in the town, will surely panic. And once there is panic, mistakes will be made, so that the poison envoy can take the opportunity to attack! Even, take the town and even Vault 93! Hearing Zhao Xiaochuan's words, Mr. Zou's face also became solemn.
"What is there in this shelter that is worth attacking the poison envoys, and the way they improve their strength is not to infect the acid poison beast? Why are you so ramming towns and shelters? Zhao Xiaochuan was still puzzled, in order to assimilate more humans infected by acid poison, why did he attack the hard bone of the refuge?
Even if Vault 93 is not strong, it is at least a regular vault, and its combat effectiveness is still not weak.
"Well, I'm going to ask you Vault 93 commander what is attracting this poison leader." Mr. Zou smiled slightly, and there was a meaningful expression in his eyes: "Our task now is to wait for the poison envoy to appear, and then wipe it all out!" ”
