141. Haunted
"How does this place of residence feel weird?"
When Lin Fan came out of the village chief's house, he noticed that there seemed to be a few more figures behind him.
Lin Fan didn't care, these tails followed behind him.
After all, as a stranger, he suddenly appeared in a mountain village that was almost isolated from the rest of the world.
Moreover, there have been rumors of wild people here recently, so it is normal for the other party to be on guard.
"At a glance, except for these houses, there is no human figure at all?"
Lin Fan looked at it a few more times, and then realized where the strange feeling in his heart came from.
As far as the eye can see, there is hardly any trace of a living person.
"Although there is no large area of farmland, there are still a lot of small plots of farmland.
Since there is land, someone has to take care of it. ”
[Maybe it's just because of those wild people, who are hiding, right? 】
"I don't feel like it.
But now, it's hard to guess what the reason is. ”
Lin Fan shook his head, even if there were really so-called wild people around here.
Even if these guys are strong, it's daytime.
Around the village, there are a large number of young and strong men, guarding them.
It doesn't make sense, at such a point in time, the villagers dare not go out of their homes.
"Do you have the terrain of this area in your database?"
[Yes, yes, but it will take some time. 】
"Look for it.
Let's also look for the help measures of the Dragon Kingdom for this mountainous area. ”
[Okay, but not necessarily found.] 】
Lin Fan nodded, Xiao Hei downloaded a large amount of relevant data before leaving.
Even if there is no way to exchange data with the outside world, you can still query the information you need.
However, it may take a long time.
[For the time being, I have not found the Dragon Country, and there is no record of helping this mountain area in recent years. 】
[But I found a topographic map of the place, as well as the distribution of resources.] 】
"What's going on here?"
[We are located in the center of the entire mountain range, and at the same time it is a relatively sinking basin. 】
[As you can see before, the land here is barren, there are a lot of rocks scattered here, and there are no suitable cash crops. 】
[If you want to live, you can basically only rely on the sky. 】
[However, judging from the results of a large number of data comparisons, it is very likely that the area of Xiaofeng Mountain is stored with one or several rare mineral deposits. 】
"Mines? Over here? ”
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.
"I remember that there has never been a record of a large mine in this area, right?"
Lin Fan searched for a long time in his memory, and he didn't remember what mineral deposits had been produced in Xiaofeng Mountain, or even within a range of nearly 1,000 kilometers around.
The only places here are gravel and woods.
[Historically, there have been no records of any large veins, and judging from the topography alone, this does not look like an area capable of producing large veins. 】
"And you say there may be a mine here?"
[This is only from your proven historical data, analysis. 】
[However, if you compare all the databases, it is very likely that there are mineral deposits here.] 】
"Okay, if there is a mine, let's talk about it."
Lin Fan nodded.
"What do you think is the most likely thing to be considered a wild man?"
Lin Fan did not believe the so-called wild man's statement.
After all, he and Hong Hui have been active in the nearby mountains and forests for so long.
Never experienced any attacks, nor did I find any signs of anything wrong.
If there were wild people, then they should have discovered it a long time ago.
[There is only one creature living in this mountain forest that is most likely to meet the name of a savage. 】
"What?"
[Humans. 】
Lin Fan: ???
"Is there something wrong with your database?
There's nothing in this place, even if someone is actually playing the wild and driving these aborigines away.
Then he won't get any benefit.
What is the point of doing this? ”
Everything is motivated.
A completely unprofitable thing that no one will do.
The most valuable things in this settlement may be these, the built house.
If it is really like what Dhaka said, almost all the supplies here are transmitted by the outside world.
Then whoever wants it, it is not a wise thing to force these people away.
It's totally a thankless process.
Just by seeing the people who were at the entrance of the village when they entered the village, they knew that this was definitely not an easy thing.
[Other than that, there are no large beasts that qualify here.] 】
Lin Fan also fell into silence for a while.
The most ferocious creatures here are probably only those wild boars.
But the behavior of wild boars is far from that of humans.
"If it's really a human pretend, that's interesting."
Lin Fan shook his head.
Until the wildlings reappear, these can only be guessed.
"Hong Hui has invested millions of dollars here, and my company has also invested a lot of money in this area for several years.
But judging from the construction here, it seems that not much has changed. ”
Aside from those few steel cables that connect with the outside world, there doesn't seem to be any more money to spend.
Where did all the money go?
In addition to this settlement, there are four other places in the Xiaofengshan area.
That's all they fund.
Lin Fan can be regarded as spending a lot of money, and on average, each region can also be evenly divided into several million.
But looking at the construction here, Lin Fan didn't see what the money was spent on.
"Outsiders?"
Suddenly, a puzzled voice sounded in his ears, which really scared Lin Fan.
He was completely unaware of the other party's approach.
Lin Fan subconsciously glanced at the sound.
A very immature face poked out from the dense leaves.
The boy had been hiding in the tree above him.
Before this kid spoke, Lin Fan didn't have any awareness at all.
Could it be that hiding in the wilderness is the natural skill of these people?
Lin Fan complained in his heart, but he still squeezed out a smile on his face and looked at the other party.
"Except for the village chief, there are very few people here."
The child seemed to be very happy when he saw Lin Fan, and even his tone of voice became much more relaxed.
"Why would you ...... Mandarin? ”
"Why not?
I'm still in school.
It's just that recently because of the savage's incident, the school hasn't been open for almost a week. ”
