"Little friend Chen, isn't it inappropriate to choose the underground palace to stay?" After hearing Chen Ziyan's plan, Wu Laogou hesitated and asked.
Wu Laogou was not surprised at all that Chen Ziyan would have such an idea.
The camp was only a temporary structure, and the existing problems were very obvious, and it would not be difficult for people with some relevant experience to see them.
Even if Chen Ziyan was negligent, he would take the initiative to remind him.
However, Wu Laogou was somewhat dissatisfied with the new location chosen by Chen Ziyan. He felt that the underground palace had been occupied by the Wang family before. The other party must have been operating there for a long time, and it was very likely that there were hidden things that they could not discover at the moment. backhand.
If this kind of backhand is detonated at a critical moment, the problems that arise will be fatal.
Wu Laogou, who has been living in the world for decades, now mostly focuses on stability, so he thinks it is better to choose an underground fortress as a place to live. This will undoubtedly be safer and more secure in control.
"Just keep your mind at ease. I know there are some hidden dangers in the underground palace, but I already have countermeasures." Faced with Wu Laogou's worries, Chen Ziyan showed great confidence, and he went on to say: "Five Master, this is what I planned..."
Chen Ziyan didn't show any concern and directly expressed his thoughts.
If it were anyone else, it would really be difficult to solve this problem, or even do nothing about it.
After all, if there is really a mechanism hidden in the underground palace, it will definitely not be exposed openly, nor will they find it casually.
But is he, Chen, an ordinary person?
Obviously not!
As for the problems that Wu Laogou was worried about, Chen Ziyan had actually figured out a way to deal with them as early as when he made the decision.
Chen Ziyan prepared two steps for this. In fact, strictly speaking, these so-called two steps can also be regarded as two response plans, but they were spliced together by Chen Ziyan.
Well...the main focus is rigor!
In fact, in terms of stability, Chen Ziyan is not much inferior to Wu Laogou, but he usually behaves more vigorously and resolutely in doing things, so people who don't know him can't see the lowest level of stability.
Chen Ziyan planned to let the dogs conduct a carpet-like search of the underground palace to find all the places where abnormal smells remained.
Although they have limited manpower now, they are not short of dogs, and they are all well-trained fierce dogs, not to mention there are several dog kings inside. Doing this kind of thing is just a matter of hands.
In order to prevent the Wang family from being prepared and clearing traces in advance, Chen Ziyan had the next step.
That is to use Xiling's method of hearing the mountain to identify the dragon and obtain the outline of the underground palace through the echo.
In fact, it stands to reason that Chen Ziyan can only use the latter, but he has not mastered the skills yet, and his hearing is much worse than his uncle. Although it is not a problem to cope with a space of the size of the underground palace, he feels somewhat unsure, so in the end A two-pronged approach was chosen.
He couldn't guarantee anything else, but Chen Ziyan dared to say that as long as he completed this set of combos, it would be difficult for the underground palace to have any secrets at the physical level.
As for some non-physical arrangements, they cannot be solved by conventional means, but Chen Ziyan doesn't care much about this.
Because he knew very well that the conditions required for that type of method were complicated, and even if the Wang family had it, they would not be able to arrange it here.
If the Wang family can successfully capture the Snake Mine, they may build one underground, but they will definitely not waste it on an underground palace that functions like a bridgehead.
"That's it..." Hearing this, Wu Laogou nodded slowly: "It's feasible."
Wu Laogou didn't have much confidence in the previous steps, because he knew best as he had been carrying dogs all year round. There were some agencies that even the dog king couldn't detect in advance.
But after hearing the method of distinguishing dragons after Wen Shan, his worries completely subsided.
Although Chen Ziyan said that his level was not yet up to par, he had dealt with Xieling back then, but he had heard the relevant news and knew exactly what the master of this secret art was like.
Thinking back to the time when the leader of the bandits from Xieling led his group to Pingshan, stood on the cliff, and understood the layout of the underground palace at the bottom of the cliff with just three gunshots, we can know how powerful the method of identifying dragons by hearing the mountain is.
Therefore, Wu Laogou had no doubt whether Chen Ziyan, who claimed to be an inexperienced man, could cope with the underground palace next to him.
It's a small underground palace, but you're still in it, how can you not hear something?
After eliminating the possible hidden dangers of the underground palace, Wu Laogou reviewed the situation again and found that the underground palace was indeed more suitable.
The underground fortress can only be said to be retreatable and defensive, but there is another underground palace that can be advanced and attacked. There is no need to say which one to choose.
After exchanging a few words, the three of them got down to business.
They disassembled and gathered together all the materials that could be used in the camp, and then made several simple carts to transport their dogs to the underground palace in batches.
After all this was done, Chen Ziyan asked the two of them to take the dogs there first, while he went to the supply warehouse next to the canteen, saying that he wanted to collect some food and water.
But this is just Chen Ziyan's excuse. It is an undoubted fact that there is a secret room of the Wang family in the camp. How can he dare to use these supplies now.
He himself has the blood of Shennong and is invulnerable to all poisons. Naturally, he is not afraid of the other party's manipulation. However, the others are still mortal bodies, and the dogs under his hands do not have similar abilities, so he still needs to be careful in this regard. as well.
Chen Ziyan seemed to be picking and choosing in the warehouse, but in fact he didn't take anything. He just took the opportunity to take out the supplies stored in his personal space.
Although he didn't prepare many things, they were all compressed food. It would be no problem to take them out for a day or two, and the backup force would arrive soon, so there was no need to worry too much about this.
If that doesn't work, you can still use local materials.
Below the underground palace is the underground space, where there are so many black-haired snakes that they can be supplied for ten or twenty years, let alone ten and a half days.
Time passed little by little, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.
At this time, Chen Ziyan had already successfully built a simple fortification on the underground palace. Although it was only the size of a bedroom, it had all the functions.
Unless you directly use rocket launchers and explosive packs, it is difficult to penetrate the walls of fortifications with ordinary bullets.
In the process of building this fortification, Wushuanggui and Huahu also returned to Chen Ziyan and provided him with great help, allowing him to complete the fortifications he planned before the sun set. out.
Although Wu Laogou and Yingzi can both do the work of Puppet Armor, they are far behind in terms of strength. Plus, with a girl and an old man, Chen Ziyan can't handle them too much, so efficiency is naturally also low. There's a lot of difference.
The only regret for Chen Ziyan is that Huahu failed to bring back the escaped Wang family, but there was nothing that could be done about it. The Wang family should have had backup plans for this. When Huahu arrived at the end of the secret passage, By the time, the exit had completely collapsed and was tightly blocked by falling gravel and soil. How could Huahu catch up?
"I didn't expect my little friend to be an expert in this field." Wu Laogou admired Chen Ziyan's work as he looked at it.
Previously, he thought that the fortress mentioned by Chen Ziyan was just a fake.
Unexpectedly, this young man actually had two brushes and he did create a simple bunker.
Whether it is the construction method of the sandbags or the structure of the shooting hole, it shows that Chen Ziyan has researched this.
It's just that because of the limitations of materials and time, he couldn't make it perfect, but it was enough.
"Fifth Master is overly praised. I just learned a few tricks from my friends." Chen Ziyan said with a smile.
This skill was something he learned from Hu Bayi last time in the snowy area.
They are people who have been on the battlefield, and they are the real experts.
Wu Laogou smiled and did not say more on this topic. Instead, he looked at the ground around him and asked:
"Are there any more arrangements underground?"
Although the surrounding ground still looked normal, Wu Laogou, who had been following Chen Ziyan, didn't know that, with their area as the core, many traps had been dug by the weasels under Chen Ziyan.
He felt that if these traps were just to trap people, it would be a huge waste. It would be better to place some ground thorns inside. Anyway, the Wang family is undoubtedly the enemy, so there is no need to be polite.
As for enemies, only dead ones are good enemies.
"Those will leave loopholes." Chen Ziyan shook his head, and then explained: "These traps are more for early warning."
Why didn't he want to add ground thorns to the trap? There was no shortage of trees here and they could be easily processed.
But these traps are built directly underground, and in order to prevent collapse, the passages between them are very narrow. Except for weasels who can walk freely, there is no way for people to enter.
If they want to add more killing methods inside, they can only start from the ground, but no matter how cautious they are when doing it, they will inevitably leave traces.
If this resulted in the failure of the active purpose, it would simply be a loss outweighing the gain, so after some consideration, Chen Ziyan gave up the idea of increasing lethality.
"So this is ah."
Wu Laogou immediately understood that Chen Ziyan planned to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
These traps scattered around are not meant to trap enemies, but are mainly used as warnings to avoid being caught unawares before being approached.
"Fifth Master, now that the enemy is hidden and we are clear, we don't need to fight to the death with them. As long as we hold on to this place, they can't afford it." Chen Ziyan dusted off the dirt on his body and said calmly.
He is very clear about their advantage over the Wang family, and that is four words - upright and upright!
It is not difficult to see from Lu Ziyu's attitude that the Wang family can only hide in the shadows and engage in small tricks, so why should he have to fight with them head-on? Anyway, even if all the intruders are wiped out, there is no way to completely defeat the Wang family. Home, it’s better to drag them like this.
The longer it takes, the more obvious Chen Ziyan's advantage will be, and the Wang family may not be able to handle it by then.
Wu Laogou was about to nod, but suddenly thought of a question that had been ignored before, and asked quickly:
"What about the fortress underground? Will this compromise one thing and the other?"
Being busy all the time, he subconsciously ignored this problem. Now that he suddenly thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little headache.
After all, there are only three of them. Even with the help of dogs, they can only defend one place.
Moreover, they have been busy here and have not made arrangements in the underground fortress. Now I am afraid it is too late.
"Leave it to them for the time being." Chen Ziyan had no good way to deal with this, but his subsequent words made Wu Laogou smile. He only heard him add: "The relevant research materials have been packaged. I gave it to Lu Ziyu, and when I left, I destroyed all the protective clothing there."
Wu Laogou, who has been to the underground fortress, knows very well what the most important things there are, which are nothing more than staff, research materials, mechanical instruments, and protective clothing that can penetrate deep into the snake mine.
Now Chen Ziyan came directly to make a big bargain. There were only instruments that could not be moved in the underground fortress, but it was useless to put the instruments there. Research work cannot produce results in a short time.
"You young people are still smart!" Wu Laogou joked with a smile.
He also thought that he had enough experience in the world and planned to check and fill in the gaps for Chen Ziyan. Unexpectedly, this guy looked young, but he was not an ordinary veteran in doing things and considered every aspect very carefully.
This made Wu Laogou feel more and more that his choice to cooperate with Chen Ziyan was a wise choice.
He even began to wonder whether he should find a way to expand this cooperation, not just limit it here, but develop it into a cooperation between Xiling and the Wu family.
As for bringing in the entire Nine Sects, Wu Laogou never even thought about it. Firstly, he couldn't make the decision for the other eight families, and secondly, he felt that the Nine Sects were becoming more and more unfamiliar.
The reason why I want to cooperate more with Chen Ziyan is actually to leave a way out for myself.
In fact, Wu Laogou is a person with a strong sense of worry, which can be seen from his layout over the years. Whether it is building dog factories in various places or cooperating with corresponding departments, it is all to make the Wu family more resistant to risks.
"It's just some cleverness." Chen Ziyan said modestly.
While speaking, his eyes kept scanning the surrounding ground, as if he could see through the surface and directly see the dug space below.
In fact, there is one more thing Chen Ziyan did not say, that is, these underground traps are not one-time products, and will have other uses in the future.
Because of the existence of the underground palace, he did not intend to limit his future new camp to the ground, so he planned to build a two-story camp directly in accordance with the standards of a bunker, with the underground palace as the core.
At that time, these traps can be used directly, which can save a lot of time.
However, there was no need to mention this kind of thing, so Chen Ziyan did not say it. (End of chapter)
