Lin Chuan walked quickly on the hills full of potholes, the place was completely unrecognizable, there were large and small craters everywhere, shrapnel and substances that had become vitrified in the heat were mixed in, and every inch of the land was full of flames and explosions, making people feel like they were on an alien planet.

Lin Chuan searched the air for the smell that belonged to Ivanov, but after Li Yaoyao's hysterical attack, this faint message became almost inaudible.

Are they really going to die like that? Huang Ande, this name that hangs over everyone's head like a nightmare, just disappears?

Lin Chuan wanted to know what happened to him before, but neither Zhu Rong nor Li Yaoyao could sue him for the result, but not for the process.

The only answer, perhaps, lies only in Ivanov.

The land that had been repeatedly attacked was about one square kilometer, and he searched diagonally first diagonally, then diagonally along four small areas, as he had searched for survivors in the rivers and seas, and soon smelled Ivanov's scent.

The smell disappeared underneath a huge crater.

With a depth of more than four meters and a diameter of more than twenty meters, Lin Chuan didn't know what kind of attack caused such a scene, but he stood on the edge of the crater and didn't see any parts belonging to Ivanov's body.

He carefully descended to the bottom of the pit and found that under a fragment of a rock there was a tunnel large enough for one person to pass the guò, at an angle of about forty degrees to the ground and straight downward.

"He's been found." He said to the satellite phone. He dug a tunnel and plunged into the ground. I haven't found an exit yet. ”

There was a brief silence on the other side of the phone, probably assessing what kind of countermeasures should be taken, and Lin Chuan vaguely heard Li Yaoyao scolding a swear word.

With the development of fortification construction technology. The ground attack capability of many missiles has also increased, and as far as Lin Chuan knows, the United States seems to have a super ground-penetrating missile capable of penetrating a 20-meter concrete layer before the end of the day.

But that would mean nothing to the high-level bloodline, they couldn't burn their bodies, even if they only left a stump, maybe they could regrow their entire bodies in a few years.

"Can you feel what's inside on the ground?" Zhu Rong asked.

Lin Chuan listened quietly, and there was no other sound except for the wind.

"I think he's gone." He said.

"It can't be!" Li Yaoyao's voice said loudly. "A radius of 20 kilometers is under our surveillance at all times. There was no way he could escape! ”

"If he digs a tunnel long enough, how can you guarantee that you'll be able to see him?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Can you please you." Zhu Rong said. "Don't fight him hard, as long as you can find him, it's a success."

"I know." Lin Chuan replied. Then he hung up the phone.

The tunnel looked bottomless, like an oversized ant hole, with obvious marks of squeezing with arms and bodies on the walls, judging by the width of the tunnel and the smell left. Definitely Ivanov.

Lin Chuan took off all the cumbersome things on his body. Leaving only the satellite phone, I climbed in with my head down.

"Well, Ivanov." He said. "Just let me see what you're capable of."

The tunnel winds down for about a dozen meters before it meets the rocks, and then it turns horizontally, and in many places the soil layer collapses to block the way, but with Ivanov opening the way in front, Lin Chuan only needs to pay a small amount of energy to continue along the tunnel he dug. This gave him more confidence in beating Ivanov, after a series of attacks and attrition. He did not believe that Ivanov would still be able to retain the fighting power he had in New Jiuquan.

The tunnel goes all the way forward, underground. The person's sense of direction became very weak, and Lin Chuan could clearly feel that the tunnel no longer kept a straight line, but changed up and down, which may be evidence that Ivanov's consciousness was disturbed. Lin Chuan had been trying to find the blood stains left by his injuries, but he seemed to recover quickly without any signs of injury.

Lin Chuan silently counted the distance all the way, and after traveling about four kilometers underground, there was a sudden cold and fresh air in front of him.

This made Lin Chuan have a bad premonition, and sure enough, after turning a corner, he entered a natural cave.

"Red-haired, goddess? Can you hear ME? He carefully observed his surroundings as he took out the satellite phone.

He was answered by a rustling murmur.

A dark river flowed not far away, forming a deep pool in the corner of the cave, and then flowing away from nowhere.

Ivanov's smell disappeared inside.

If you chase after you, you may not be able to find Ivanov, the current is a natural deodorant, he can go ashore and leave in any dark hole along the way, or he may drift along the dark river to a place dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away, which cannot be monitored by satellites.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! Li Yaoyao walked around the room, restless.

"Can you be quiet?" Zhu Rong said to her.

"How do you keep me quiet?" Li Yaoyao replied angrily.

It is possible that Ivanov will appear anywhere, and this will almost declare the failure of the operation for them.

He can regain his strength by finding any one of the survivor settlements, and then, if he wants, he can attack the rebels whenever he wants.

He can also kill the survivors around them who regularly provide blood, so that Li Yaoyao's subordinates will lose their blood source and collapse without a fight.

The amount of blood required by 50,000 level 6 bloodline people every day is not a lot of pressure even for Huang Ande. At this stage, they can deal with those dismembered Level 3 bloodlineers, but if the situation continues to stalemate, they will have to take action against the surrounding cities inhabited by ordinary humans.

The most odious thing is that even if Ivanov does nothing, they will have to devote 120,000 points of energy to deal with it.

"But it's not the worst outcome." Zhu Rong said. "If he really knew about a backup storage point for Huang Ande and Long Qi......"

She didn't say any more, but Lin Chuan and Li Yaoyao both understood what she meant.

After a long time, Zhu Rongcai said again: "The climate and geographical conditions in the northwest guide every settlement is very scattered, and we have no way to prevent it everywhere, so we can only withdraw our strength. ”

"Just waiting for them to come back?" Li Yaoyao shook her head and asked.

"Of course not!" Zhu Rong said. "We need to control more resources, especially satellites and nuclear missiles. As soon as they appear, attack them with a nuclear bomb. ”

"It's not a good solution, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause." Lin Chuan said. "As long as they have a backup, they will always be able to come back to life."

"Do you have any good idea?" Li Yaoyao asked.

"Why can't we strike first?" Lin Chuan asked. "Each bloodline person will only have one consciousness at the same time, right?"

Zhu Rong nodded.

"Then let's find the backups of Huang Ande and Long Qi first, resurrect them, and then split them up and seal them when they are weak." Lin Chuan said. "In that case, even if Ivanov has more backups, it won't work."

Zhu Rong and Li Yaoyao both looked at him and did not speak.

"Isn't it possible?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Nope." Zhu Rong shook his head. "It's the best thing to do."

"Then there's only one problem." Lin Chuan then asked. "Where will there be a backup of the two of them?" (To be continued......)
