Chapter 36: Make a plan

Ikadove smiled inexplicably.

"Actually, I'm quite curious."

The little worm also laughed, she already knew what the turtledove meant, and when she told the turtledove these words, she was really worried for a moment, for fear that if her words landed, the turtledove would open the car door and leave.

Fortunately, Turtledove said in the end, he is also quite curious.

"Shh

The little worm was about to pat the turtledove on the shoulder to show her intimacy, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a vague black shadow in the darkness outside the car window, walking leisurely in the ruins of the town, even from a long distance, the little worm still saw clearly that it was a voice follower.

After all, she has a pair of "eagle eyes", not only is her dynamic and peripheral vision outstanding, but she will not be unable to see anything clearly like a turtledove at night, and the night vision of the insect is also very strong.

The two of them sat quietly in the pickup, but fortunately the worm turned off the light in the pickup in advance, because although the followers had almost no vision, the tentacles on their faces could still feel the light, and they didn't know why, once they came into contact with the strong light, those antennae would shrink, leading to the death of the followers.

That's why the voice follower has the saying "death when he sees the light", as long as he is exposed to the sun, then the voice follower will immediately die thoroughly, and the fear of light is even more exaggerated than that of ordinary humanoid monsters.

The Follower was swaying in search of food, and suddenly, as if sensing something, bowed his body, and then ran quickly in one direction, and disappeared into the darkness, probably finding a trace of its prey.

No wonder there was no one near Grey Ridge, not even a mouse, but there were terrifying predators such as Followers and Wanderers, and no creature could wait to stay away from here.

……

The night passed quickly, and the turtledove and the little worm slept alternately for a while, and when the sun rose in the early morning, they no longer had to worry about the sound followers, and they must have returned to the dark mine by this time.

After eating something, the two of them began to do something next.

First of all, exploring the Grey Ridge Mine is a sure thing, and to find out what happened here, you must go to the depths of the pit to find out what turned the outcasts into monsters and uncover the truth hidden in the darkness.

Secondly, it is better to look for the traces left by the new empire in the mines, the so-called "everyone who walks will leave traces", even if most of the things of the past were reduced to ashes in the fire, but the worm believes that there must still be something left there that has not been completely destroyed.

It's probably that kind of thing that became the reason for turning into a monster.

In the end, what is in front of them is how to enter the depths of the mine, without a map, it is easy to get lost in the intricate mines, not to mention facing the followers who wander in the mines, and if they encounter them, they can't escape, they can only find a way to kill them.

This made the worm useless, and she was best at firearms, but if she fired in the mines, the loud sound of gunfire would inevitably attract the other followers, so she had better not shoot unless she had to.

So Bug only brought an assault rifle just in case, a few magazines, and a pistol that was better than nothing.

As the main force of the next action, Ikaruga naturally took on the burden of the "main output point", he learned a few hand-to-hand combat moves with Liu Hailong, coupled with his explosive strength and agility increase after entering the furious state, there is still a good chance of winning by raiding the Voice Rider from behind.

However, the turtledove also brought a machete and a dagger for self-defense.

Originally, the little worm was going to bring Miss Puff over, but when she was in Mouse City, Turtledove had someone get her a big bag specially for Miss Puff's bullet belt, but unfortunately it was too heavy after being filled with bullets, and she needed to be as light as possible in the mine to reduce unnecessary movements, so she couldn't bring it.

All in all, the turtledove and the little worm were fully prepared, the time was still morning, and they carried food and water that could eat for almost two days, all of which were packed in the backpack behind the turtledove, and after doing this, they finally stepped into the gray soil ridge again.

……

This time was not like the last time, they didn't know that there were monsters like the Sound Followers in the mines, and they didn't have any weapons, so they were relaxed. When they came here again, the two of them were already fully armed, and their mood was even more nervous.

Worm didn't reread the diary in vain last night, she found a simple map in the diary's owner's tent according to the diary, and put the diary back in the tent.

"Let's go inside."

The turtledove was there with a machete in his right hand and a hand in his left, and the worm followed him with a map in his hand.

……

The map was scribbled, and seemed to the turtledove to be a pair of disorganized lines, but the worm looked at it with relish, and soon the two came to the blocked eighteenth mine road, and the worm looked at the map and said to the turtledove:

"The diary says that Curt's body was not found after the collapse of Mine Road 18, and I suspect that he was not stoned to death, but tried to escape from other roads, and ended up getting lost in the depths of the mine while finding his way."

"It wasn't long after his disappearance that strange noises came from the depths of the mines, and more strange things followed, so I guess that Curt was the first person to become a voice follower."

"Coincidentally, Mine Road 18 and the fork in the road where we met the Voice Follower yesterday are connected after four intersections, and this side is blocked, we can go around from that fork to the Mine Road 18 to see what made Curt a Voice Follower."

I have to say that the little worm is much stronger than the turtledove in terms of preparation, she used to say that she doesn't like to think too long-term, but it doesn't mean that she is not good at doing this, and the turtledove also said that she doesn't like to think too long-term, he can't use this brain.

In the same word, the difference is quite big.

All in all, Worm had a rough plan of action for their actions so that they wouldn't wander around the mine like headless flies, and Turtledove felt that Worm made a point, and he nodded, indicating that he accepted the plan.

The turtledove held the machete to be vigilant, the worm held the map to find the way, and the two of them soon came to the fork in the road yesterday, the worm reached out and pointed inside, and waved his hand again, indicating that he could enter if he had not found the follower.

In order to avoid making a sound that alarms the followers, from now on, the communication between the insect and the turtle dove is done entirely by eyes and gestures.
