Chapter 380: Weird
"Is it my delusion, this watchtower looks a little strange?" Xiao Lin looked at the tall watchtower in the distance and muttered quietly, he always felt that the watchtower in front of him felt a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Su He looked up and down the guard tower with a solemn look in his eyes, and said softly, "There is something wrong with the situation, you are following me." With that, he walked briskly towards the inside of the watchtower, and passed through the gate of the watchtower without hindrance, which made him even more uneasy.
Xiao Lin and the others may not know the operation mechanism of the watchtower, but Su He knows very well in his heart that anyone who enters the watchtower must be carefully checked, and they must go through layers of security checks, but Su He and the others walked in with such a swagger, which is obviously an accident.
"Not only are there no security checks, but there are not even a single guard?" Su He became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, the guard tower was an important checkpoint for the security of the empire's borders, and if there was a mistake here, it would mean that the enemy had already crossed the empire's borders and entered the country.
"Not only did the watchtower have a problem, but the defensive formations on the Empire's borders didn't react in the slightest. Sukh muttered softly, "It's more serious than I thought. He hurried to the command room of the watchtower, he had served on the border for three years, and was very familiar with the internal structure of the watchtower, and soon came to the door of the command room.
"Step back. Su He whispered to Xiao Lin and the others, he himself reached out and gently put it on the door of the command room, and slowly pushed it in, the door of the command room was not locked, he quickly flashed in, but found that there was no one inside, it was a completely quiet room.
"What is this?" Xiao Lin dodged in, and found himself in a hall surrounded by precision instruments, "Is this the command room of the watchtower?"
In front of Xiao Lin, there was a huge electronic screen, which was divided into dozens of screens, showing different scenes, all of which seemed to be the alert situation around the guard tower.
At the bottom of the electronic screen is a long console, filled with all kinds of buttons and meters, with countless hands and numbers beating, and the sound of "Didi" is heard from time to time.
In front of the console was a square table that was not small, and on the table was a scale-built map of the surrounding terrain, carved into a model of the surrounding terrain, and there were some troop numbers on it, flashing red.
On both sides of the square table were a few chairs, one of which also had a pitch-black notebook on it, a few pieces of paper scattered on the ground, and on both sides of the room were several shelves with supplies and combat equipment.
Su He walked to the console and tapped for a while, and it didn't take long for a string of garbled characters to appear on the electronic screen, accompanied by the noise of electric current.
"I knew it was going to be the end. Sukh whispered with an ugly face, "This watchtower has been invaded. ”
"What?" Xiao Lin was stunned, "Invased?"
"Speaking of which, I didn't see anyone along the way. Qin Ke whispered, "This guard tower is empty, and there are not even corpses. ”
"There was no blood in the air either. Mu Xuanyi sniffed in the air, "This place is very strange. ”
Ji Xuan'er hid behind Linglong, holding Linglong's arm with her little hand, looking very nervous and scared.
"There is no person, no traces of a fight, no corpses and no bloodstains, what is going on here?" Su He's brows furrowed more and more, even if he had experienced countless missions, large and small, it was the first time he had encountered such a strange situation, there was no useful clue at all, and he had no clue what had happened before this empty watchtower.
"Could it be that he went out on a mission?" Xiao Lin said in a low voice, "If the people in the sentry tower find that there is movement in the distance, and it is a strong enemy, it may be that the whole army has been dispatched." ”
"It's very unlikely. "No matter how serious the situation is, the first order from the watchtower must be to take appropriate precautions about what is happening here, but the military department has not received any information." ”
"Could it be that I received it, but I didn't pay attention to it, or did it mean that I didn't tell us?" Mu Xuanyi said, "People deliberately didn't say it, just waiting to harm us." ”
"Don't guess, why do you want to harm us?" Qin Ke said, "There is no motive. ”
Xiao Lin and Su He glanced at each other, but they thought of a possibility, if it was really someone from the upper echelons of the empire who wanted to target their master and apprentice, maybe this kind of thing would really happen.
"Do we want to report this situation to the above?" Xiao Lin leaned over to Su He's side and asked in a low voice, he couldn't make up his mind in this situation, so he could only rely on Su He to make a judgment.
"It's a complicated situation. Suhe said softly, "And our communication compass may be monitored by some well-intentioned people, any transmitted messages may be intercepted, so don't act rashly for the time being." ”
"Then do we still want to go to that stronghold?" Xiao Lin then asked, thinking that the situation here was already very strange, they were not able to solve one problem, and if they wanted to take care of the problem of the stronghold and the watchtower, I am afraid that they did not have the ability.
"Naturally, it's about the task. Suhe said, "Although there is an unexpected situation, the first priority of the Capable Team is to stick to their mission and not be disturbed by external forces. ”
"Got it. Xiao Lin nodded.
"Before that, though, we need to make sure. Sukh said, "Come with me!"
"Where is this going?" Xiao Lin asked as he kept up with Suhe's figure.
"Each watchtower has a warehouse underneath where supplies and strategic supplies are stored, and I'm going to check it out. "Maybe there's something to be found there." ”
Several people quickly swept towards the bottom of the watchtower, and soon found a small door in the wall, the door looked very narrow, and only one person could barely pass through, Xiao Lin and several people lined up and walked towards the door.
Xiao Lin passed through the narrow door and found that there was a spiraling staircase in front of him, and said in his heart: "There is not even a lift in this place, isn't it very troublesome to carry materials?"
However, Xiao Lin didn't say these doubts, he saw that Su He was obviously in a bad mood now, so he didn't bother him with these trivial things.
The location of the warehouse was deeper than Xiao Lin imagined, and they walked for a long time before they came to the bottom of the watchtower, where there was a huge warehouse, but the door of the warehouse was open, and a thick bloody atmosphere permeated the air.
"It's here!" Sukh whispered.
"It smells of blood. Mu Xuanyi covered his nose and said, his face was a little pale, the smell was too pungent, making him almost nauseous.
"But at least some traces were found. Xiao Lin said softly, he looked up and looked up, the warehouse was located very deep underneath, no wonder they hadn't smelled any blood inside the watchtower before, it turned out that they had all died in the warehouse.
Suhe quietly sneaked into the distance, and soon came to the door of the warehouse, leaned out half of his body and looked inside, and found that there were more than a dozen corpses lying inside, each with hideous faces, round eyes, and a frightened expression written on his face.
"Everybody's wounds are pretty much the same. Sukh frowned and looked at the corpses of those people, there was a wound on the left chest of each of them, which was not long or short, as if it had been wounded by a sharp blade, and it was a one-hit killing, and one of them even put his hand on his own blade, and the sword died before it could be unsheathed.
"Although bodies were found, there was still too little information that could be provided. Sukh whispered, "Why are there so many people in the warehouse, and how did the enemy break into such a deep position without triggering any alarm?"
"Could it be that scholar?" Xiao Lin said softly, his voice very low.
Su He was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It's possible, if anyone can avoid so many guards and guards, only that man can do it, but I remember that he doesn't use any blades, could it be that person?" He thought of the man holding the blood-red knife, the blood knife.
"Didi!"
At this time, a shrill siren suddenly sounded in the watchtower, echoing throughout the watchtower.
"What's the situation?" Xiao Lin was stunned, "I didn't react just now, but now the alarm is actually sounding?"
"It's broken. Su He's face changed, and before he could make a move, a light suddenly flashed above the warehouse, sweeping Xiao Lin and his party away.
A mechanical, emotionless voice rang out: "Intruder, intruder!"
"Why are we still intruders?" Mu Xuan said in a daze, "This thing doesn't look very intelligent. ”
"Someone is deliberately framing us. Qin Ke whispered, "But won't this method seem a little rougher?" "This kind of method of blaming the blame is not very clever, if you really want to dig deeper, you can naturally prove their innocence, from the time of death of the corpse, and the wound marks on it, you can judge that the murderer is not them, but despite this, the opponent still painstakingly arranged such a farce, there must be a deeper purpose.
"Let's just wait here quietly. Sukh stood still outside the warehouse, clasped his hands to his chest, and whispered.
"Who are you waiting for?" Xiao Lin asked.
"When the alarm goes off, the surrounding towers will react, and someone will come soon. Suhe said softly, "It's just that it's hard to say who is coming." ”
Xiao Lin and the others looked at each other, at this time they couldn't come up with any ideas, they could only follow Su He's arrangement, the warehouse slowly quieted down, everyone waited patiently, only the alarm of the guard tower continued to sound, without any intention of stopping.
