After repelling the mutated animals, they did not relax their vigilance and walked straight towards the building complex.
Before the fight just now, Shi Bao jumped down and hid behind Shi Lingyao. Now he climbed on the back of the white tiger again. The white tiger swayed its tail and carried him in front.
He Xixu said in a complicated tone: "You are bringing your children with you to a place like this?"
Shi Lingyao's lips curled up: "Don't underestimate children."
Shi Bao raised his head and chest in cooperation: "Shi Bao is very powerful!"
Xiaoxiao thought of the white and tender little hands that were deeply inserted into the frozen solid wall, so firm that they did not shake at all, and nodded in praise with a sincere tone: "Shi Bao is so awesome!"
Shi Bao became even happier when he received recognition from others.
He Xixu didn't know the details and just thought Xiaoxiao was coaxing the children: "You are really a family of freaks."
Shi Lingyao looked like he didn't hear anything, and walked to the boundary of the building complex.
The surroundings were just like when they first arrived yesterday, as quiet as a ghost town, without any unnecessary movement.
This time they did not plan to go straight to the altar, but went from house to house and carefully searched every house.
The situation is consistent in almost every room.
The living utensils inside were placed very casually, just like the daily life of any household. There was no deliberate packing or knocking over any furniture in a panic.
This shows that the people living here either left voluntarily or disappeared in an instant.
Since she searched the entire building complex in detail and found that every house was the same size, she carefully paid attention to the internal structure of each house, including the position of the windows and the direction of the door. They were all the same.
Such excessive neatness and uniformity can make people feel uncomfortable.
Although different cities will have their own styles and will be divided into residential areas and other functional areas during the initial planning, every room will never be built exactly as printed.
The last time I saw a room built exactly the same was in the dungeon of Li Xiayu's house.
Only the military and prisons would use such neat planning.
Jing Hexuan seemed to have thought of this too, and the two looked at each other.
He Xixu frowned and looked around: "It's so neat and tidy that it makes people uncomfortable."
After hearing this, for some reason, a thought flashed through her mind.
The people living here seem to be managed uniformly.
Thinking this, her expression gradually became serious.
What kind of people need unified management?
If he were a prisoner, would he have such a good living treatment? This room doesn't look like a prisoner.
She thought about it and asked: "What kind of treatment are prisoners in exile like?"
Jing Hexuan thought for a while, understood what she meant by asking, and looked around.
Under the dim light of the torch, they seemed to be standing in the legendary ghost town of Fengdu. Under the gently swaying black shadow, there seemed to be endless evil spirits hiding, waiting for opportunities.
He shook his head: "At least it won't be of this specification."
He Xixu reacted to the conversation between the two and sneered: "What a beautiful idea! Exiled prisoners, those who go to the bitter cold land to do coolies! To provide coolies for the construction of the imperial court, instead of giving you a comfortable small house Live your life in there.”
However, she ignored the ridicule in He Xixu's words and nodded, with a thoughtful look on her face: "In this case, those who can be managed uniformly without prisoners are soldiers."
He Xixu frowned and subconsciously retorted: "Impossible! Who would train soldiers to live in a place like this? In this dark place, with no sunlight at all, is it raising soldiers or ghosts?"
She looked calm and asked: "Since these two conjectures are not true, does General He have any insights?"
He Xixu was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and after thinking for a while, his face was blank.
With a hint of persuasion in her voice, she continued to ask: "Since we are not prisoners or soldiers, what other behavior would require such a unified and neat management method?"
He Xixu's face suddenly changed as he thought of something. He looked at her with an expression full of shock and blurted out: "Impossible!"
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why is it impossible?"
He Xixu opened his mouth and stuttered a little: "But, at that time... there was no natural disaster. How could we need such a large number of people to conduct experiments?"
She nodded: "That's a good question. I also want to know. If the truth here is as I guessed, I'm afraid the truth about this tribe is not that simple."
Xiaoxiao was half-understood and asked her: "Dr. Shi, do you mean that this tribe is actually a large-scale medical or poison experimental base, and the people who live here are all medicine people?"
She looked at Xiaoxiao: "Excluding all wrong answers, no matter how incredible the final result is, it is probably the truth."
Xiaoxiao looked shocked. She looked around in disbelief: "If such a large tribe were all filled with medicine people..."
Shi Lingyao also added: "The most important thing is that no one has discovered the location of this tribe."
Jing Hexuan understood what she meant: "That is to say, there may be someone in the court who knows about it."
He Xixu felt like his brain was going to explode: "Wait a minute... Do you mean that someone in the imperial court once established this hidden tribe for pharmaceutical experiments, or was it before the natural disaster?"
Everyone turned to look at him, with disgust clearly written on their faces: "You're so slow."
He Xixu looked at everyone suspiciously, and finally his eyes fell on Jing Hexuan: "Are you kidding me? I don't remember when I became so familiar with you, and you want to share such an important secret event with me."
Shi Lingyao's expression was a little joking, and his tone was neither salty nor cool: "Your understanding of yourself is quite accurate."
He Xixu just felt that today's trip was not worth it. He was a great general, and everyone usually bowed to him and spoke softly. But when he met Shi Lingyao, he was almost out of temper.
She looked kind-hearted and answered He Xixu's doubts: "Since I chose you to cooperate, at least it means that you are better than the other two."
She refers here to the other two generals in the court, Li Xiayu and Chen Shun.
He Xixu chuckled: "You know how discerning I am, I'm much better than them! Those two are the best hypocrites among hypocrites!"
Let’s not talk about whether He Xixu is a hypocrite or not. Call him smart, but he is not particularly smart. Call him stupid. His mind works quite fast sometimes.
It can only be said that this person is smarter in certain specific aspects.
For example, when leading troops in the military, or when he behaves shamelessly in front of Jing Hexuan, he is extremely tactful.
Just like at this moment, his face was a little solemn, and he analyzed to himself: "I just don't know if the participants in this experiment are still alive. Could it be that our zombie toxin is artificially created? Then it is better for this person to be alive. At least he knows this What’s going on with Lao Shizi’s zombie poison…”
