Chapter 21: The Tunnel

Thundered!

The wind came suddenly, and after a thunderous roar, the rain poured down.

Chen Mu looked at the time, it was about a quarter past two in the morning. God's face will change, the weather in the first half of the night is still very clear, I can't imagine that the second half of the night has been like this.

Chen Mu carefully hid behind a tree, watching a group of clone soldiers on patrol run by in a rage, he bent over and quickly walked through.

At this point, he was very close to Dr. Z's base camp, and there was no danger along the way.

Although most of the clone soldiers went to encircle the rebels and did not return, some were still responsible for the defense of the base camp.

Those patrol teams were greatly reduced, which brought great convenience to Chen Mu, and the sudden rainstorm brought great difficulties to the defense. For a while, those patrol teams were almost decorations, and they had no impact on Chen Mu at all.

What really brought Chen Mu was the guards hidden in the shadows!

When he first tried to enter the base camp during the day, he didn't go deeper, and he didn't notice that there were guards hidden in the shadows. But now, as he gets closer and closer to the base camp, the hidden guards are causing him a lot of trouble.

The first time he encountered the hidden guard, Chen Mu hadn't even noticed. He climbed a dense tree to avoid a patrol, and suddenly he saw a stunned face looking at him. Both of them were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect such a thing to happen.

The hidden guard originally found a comfortable branch to sit on, leaning on the trunk of the tree to take a nap, but the first time he saw Chen Mu, he instantly came to his senses and kicked towards Chen Mu with one foot. At the same time, he took out the screw horn hanging around his neck, and he was about to blow it!

If his first reaction was to blow the snail horn instead of attacking Chen Mu, I am afraid that Chen Mu would have been discovered. It's a pity that the moment he attacked Chen Mu, he had already given Chen Mu enough time to react.

Chen Mu grabbed the opponent's ankle and pulled it hard, while the hidden guard's body leaned forward, the alloy short knife in Chen Mu's other hand had already slashed through the hidden guard's neck.

Blood and gas gushed out of his neck, and he tried to blow the horn that had filled his mouth, but unfortunately it only accelerated the gushing of blood.

His eyes grew blank.

Brush!

The hidden guard fell, and Chen Mu held one of his feet to prevent the movement from falling to the ground from attracting the attention of the patrol.

Then, Chen Mu slowly lifted the corpse and placed it on the branch of the tree where he was sitting just now.

The Hidden Guard's eyes widened, and there was still a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Chen Mu waited for the patrol to go away, then quietly got down the tree and continued to move forward.

Now that he had discovered the hidden guards, Chen Mu was even more careful.

With the help of his yin and yang eyes, Chen Mu has a finer vision than he can observe during the day. On closer inspection, he found the guards hiding in the grass, huddled in the trees, and even the guards hiding in the hollows of the trees.

Chen Mu searched for and dodged these hidden guards, more cautiously, and much slower.

The torrential rain brought convenience to Chen Mu, and he let the rain wet his whole body and flow down his cheeks like a stream. Chen Mu didn't cover it, didn't wipe it, as if he didn't notice the rain, he seemed to melt into the night, and gradually approached the strong-lit base camp!

Dr. Z's base camp is the very center of the entire island and the most central of the concentric circles where the patrol is located, and it is also a circle!

A place with an area of about tens of thousands of square meters, surrounded by a circular high wall, about ten meters high, like a city wall, encloses a "city"!

On the high wall, there are even quite a few clone soldiers, sitting in the small pavilion on the wall, staring in all directions.

Within the walls were five buildings, one smaller in the south, south, west, and north, and the stars surrounded the tallest building in the center. The tallest building in the center, with its bright lights, stands out in the dark.

A figure walked past the guarded clone soldier and quickly walked into the tall building, reporting his gains.

"Authentic? Interesting! ”

A faint and seemingly disdainful voice sounded, and then said to himself, "Only rats run around from their burrows, haha, let me have a good time with these little mice." ”

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "By the way, what about my dear Ben?" Isn't he dead? In that case, I'll be very sad! ”

"Huh? Not dead...... That's great! Then the game is fun! Hahahaha......"

Not far from the base camp, a group of people braved the torrential rain at this time.

The leader's face was as cloudy as the weather, and he looked through the rain curtain in the direction of the base camp, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

Smack!

There was a sound behind him, and the leader retracted his thoughts, turned his head, and couldn't help but wrinkle his head.

A person behind him walked over and helped Zhao Yue, who had fallen.

"Thank you Number 7!"

Zhao Yue stood up with Ken No. 7's hand and thanked him.

Then Zhao Yue looked down, I don't know what animal dug a hole, it was flooded by the rain and couldn't be seen, he stepped into it before he fell.

Luckily, I didn't get to my feet!

Zhao Yue was a little lucky, if he was really injured, in the torrential rain of this barren mountains and forests, I am afraid he would not know what to do.

"Are we almost there?"

Zhao Yue asked.

Since finding this group of people, it has been a few hours now, stumbling all the way, walking for so long, Zhao Yue feels that his legs are weak.

"It's coming!" Ken 7 replied.

"Zhao, since many of your companions are coming in a few days, why should we risk dealing with Dr. Z?"

Ken 7 glanced at Ben in front of him and asked Zhao Yue in a low voice.

Zhao Yue's face tightened, "I told Ben about this!" ”

"Oh!" Ken 7 nodded, carefully glanced at Ben in front of him, and seeing that he didn't attract Ben's attention, continued to ask, "What did you say?" ”

"That is to say, this is your best chance to resist Dr. Z, and maybe it is also the only chance......" Zhao Yue glanced around, looking a little absent-minded.

"But in a few days......"

Zhao Yue interrupted Ken No. 7's words and said, "Who knows what will happen in a few days?" Now that Dr. Z is in the void, this is your best chance, right? ”

Ken 7 nodded.

Zhao Yue raised his voice and said, "That's it!" How could you miss such a great opportunity? Ben accepts it, so you don't have to chirp crookedly. If you have something to say, go ask Ben! ”

Ken 7 was startled by Zhao Yue's suddenly louder voice, and turned his head to take a look, which had already caught Ben's attention.

"Speed up!"

Ben shouted, sounding a little impatient and disgruntled.

Along the way, he had never smiled, and he kept his face drooping. As a leader, his attitude put a lot of pressure on everyone, and even Ken 7, who was closest to him, didn't dare to speak out loud.

Seeing that Ben was unhappy at this time, Ken 7 still had questions in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask again.

Zhao Yue breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't have a good rhetoric to convince others, and when he met Ben and the others, Zhao Yue only mentioned a few words, and Ben agreed to go to Dr. Z's base camp together, and he didn't even ask Zhao Yue to explain.

He had prepared a few backup plans to talk to Ben, but he didn't even need to say anything.

Zhao Yue could see that Ben also had his own purpose for going to Dr. Z's base camp. However, Zhao Yue didn't dare to inquire too much, for fear of causing Ben's dissatisfaction.

Although he is not very afraid of Ben, he is the only tourist now, and if he really makes Ben unhappy and does something to him, he will have no place to cry.

Zhao Yue saw that Ken No. 7 didn't dare to speak anymore, and breathed a sigh of relief where Ken No. 7 couldn't see it in the back, then pulled up his legs and walked forward with the rebels in front of him.

At this point, there were only six of them in total. In addition to Zhao Yue, Ben and Ken 7, there were three other rebels.

From Ken 7's communication with the other rebels, Zhao Yue heard that they originally had a few companions who escaped from the clone soldiers together, but they all died when they met the clone soldiers on the way.

Originally, the total number of rebels was 167, but now it is ...... Probably only a few of them remained.

Zhao Yue knew that Ben and Ken No. 7 were suppressing their grief and anger, and they both had a fire in their hearts, and he didn't dare to speak more, so as not to cause others to be unhappy.

Strangely, though, Ken 7 mentions the other rebels with a strong sense of guilt in addition to their sadness, as if their deaths were his responsibility. Ken 7, who originally seemed to be quite decisive and resolute, also became a little depressed.

Everyone stopped talking, and the only sound of rain and thunder seemed to be left between heaven and earth, and the scene was extremely depressing.

Finally, after continuing to march for about fifteen minutes, Zhao Yue followed Ben and them to their destination.

"This is the tunnel?!"

Looking at the entrance like a dog cave, Zhao Yue's first reaction was disbelief.

"Let's go in!"

Ben looked at the tunnel, a complicated look in his eyes, and then under his arrangement, all the rebels entered in turn.

Zhao Yue pursed his lips, but there was no other way, so he had to choose to follow up.

"Someone just came!"

After entering the tunnel, Ken 7 walked in front of the curve, suddenly stopping to look at the ground, where there were clear and messy footprints on the wet ground......

On the other side, Dong Hongfeng looked at a black hole like a dog hole, a little surprised and suspicious.

"Is this really the entrance?"

They finally followed the map to get here, but they looked for the entrance for a long time. Although I had seen this small hole hidden by weeds early on, no one associated it with the tunnel, for the simple reason that it was too small to call it a dog hole.

Until I almost searched for this place, I finally had to decide that this dog-like cave was the entrance to the tunnel.

"It should be here, nothing else!"

Yang Lilong looked at the map again and carefully identified it, and the place the map pointed to was only this dog hole.

"Let's go check it out!"

In the absence of other options, Dong Hongfeng also had to accept it, he turned his gaze, ignored the three people on Yang Lilong's side, and looked directly at Han Qiang: "You go in and take a look?" ”

"Huh? Why me? ”

Han Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then his face was a little unhappy.

"Or else?" Dong Hongfeng's eyes widened.

Han Qiang looked at it, Dong Hongfeng and Yang Lilong, as the strongest among the tourists, would definitely not go. Wang Shun and Wen Mengmeng are both from Yang Lilong's side, and there are women among them......

After looking around, he had to choose to accept it.

Han Qiang didn't say anything anymore, bent down, and got into the hole.

This small hole is on a dirt hill far from the base camp, and since it is not on the ground, there is no rain dripping directly into it. Even so, the water that flowed down the mountain also went in a lot, and it was damp and muddy.

Han Qiang frowned, and secretly scolded Dong Hongfeng in his heart. If Yang Lilong arranged for someone to climb in to test it, it was likely that he would call Wang Shun, because he instructed Han Qiang not to move, but Dong Hongfeng opened his mouth, which made Han Qiang have to accept it. Han Qiang crawled for a moment while scolding, and suddenly the front suddenly opened up......
