Under the darkness of night, the wilderness area was eerily quiet, with only the occasional roar of ferocious beasts appearing particularly abrupt.
Lin Zihan leaned on the bed, not falling asleep, still recalling He Yunhua's words, which seemed to be spoken in a calm manner, as if it had nothing to do with him, but the guilt and sadness in his tone could not be concealed.
"So, are you carrying the sacrifices of those people, the disappointment in the federal army, or your own cowardice?" Lin Zihan said to himself, asking He Yunhua, and even more so, his inner self.
Although he settled in this base and even had a team that could barely follow him, Lin Zihan struggled every night, suffering from insomnia, panic, hesitation, and loss, like a madman who never had a good night's sleep.
…
"Ron died in these battles. From now on, you will be under the command of He Yunhua and Cao Shan, and will be officially incorporated into the establishment of the Karihuang base."
Lin Zihan recalled the scene at night when the killers gathered around him. Fortunately, the twenty people he had recruited did not openly rebel against him. There are some things that he has known for a long time. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. How could Lin Zihan allow a strong leader to dominate his hunting base.
"I would like to follow Ye Mei and be loyal to the God of Death." Twenty exoskeleton warriors all knelt down on one knee and saluted Lin Zihan respectfully.
"What about you?" Lin Zihan wore a mask to hide his expression well, but his dark eyes were like the eyes of the god of death, staring at those people.
"We are also willing to follow the God of Death." Those people knelt down sparsely. The wilderness area is a society where the strong are respected. What's more, the twenty most powerful people in the killer group have long been taken under Lin Zihan's command. These people are just grassroots, fallen by the wind.
"Cao Shan, they are left to you." Lin Zihan left only a figure and walked away. Under the mask, Lin Zihan smiled slightly.
Among those twenty people, Lin Zihan was more mysterious. During the three days of training, He Yunhua buried the seeds of Lin Zihan's dominance deep in the hearts of these people. In the afternoon, Lin Zihan's terrifying strength exploded. Even more mysterious.
…
Leaning on the bed, Lin Zihan's eyes were distracted and he gradually fell asleep.
"Is this really what you want?" A figure was sitting in front of Lin Zihan's window. His voice was so powerful that a pressure came to him, waking up Lin Zihan from his sleep.
"Who are you?" Lin Zihan broke out in a cold sweat. He was still deep in a nightmare just now, but now he woke up and there was really a person standing in front of the bed. The base's defense is strong enough to resist large-scale attacks, and the powerful monitoring system can easily detect intruders.
And the person in front of him appeared silently in front of his bed. Lin Zihan couldn't see the person's face clearly through the dim light in the room. He could only see that under the clothes, he seemed to be a lonely soul. His eyes, exuding misty gray, were staring at Lin Zihan.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, do you really want to live the life you want now? Do you just want to be an unknown mountain king in this wilderness?" That hollow voice, As if coming from the depths of his soul, every word was like a thousand pounds weighing on Lin Zihan.
His chest rose and fell violently, and Lin Zihan realized that he had difficulty breathing. The pressure released by the person in front of him was as if it was air and was everywhere. The suffocating feeling was like drowning.
"This is what I want. What's wrong? At least no one here is trying their best to harm me, no one will plot against me, no one will set a trap for me..." Lin Zihan stood up from the bed and rushed towards the figure.
When his hands touched the figure, it seemed as if nothing had been touched, and his body fell directly to the ground. Looking back at the figure, Lin Zihan clearly saw the figure standing in front of him, turning around and staring at him.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Lin Zihan stood up unsteadily, swinging his hands in front of him, trying to grab the arm of the person in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zihan once again jumped into the air, rolled over on the ground, and supported his body with one hand on the ground.
"Some people control their own destiny, while some people are controlled by their own destiny. What kind of person do you think you are?" Every word of that sentence struck Lin Zihan's heart.
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure disappeared into the room as if it had never existed. Lin Zihan was the only one left in the huge room, standing there stupidly.
He didn't know where this figure came from, nor why he left a nonsensical statement, but in Lin Zihan's heart, he had an ominous premonition that things were about to change.
"Where is Caoshan? Where is Caoshan?" Lin Zihan rushed out of the door and shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the wide corridor, like a valley, responding to Lin Zihan's call.
"Chief Cao seems to be in the control room. It is said that all the detection equipment in the base failed in an instant." A hunter who was passing by on patrol said to Lin Zihan.
"All failed?" Lin Zihan repeated the last four words, "Seal the base immediately and no individual entry or exit is allowed." Lin Zihan shouted to the patrolling people, and then ran to the control room without looking back.
"Bang~" The door of the monitoring room was opened. Rather than being opened, it was better to say that it was knocked open.
Lin Zihan stood at the door, looking at the scene in front of him. All the monitors were black, like an endless night.
Seeing Lin Zihan with bloodshot eyes and a frightened and even embarrassed expression, Cao Shan was a little stunned and looked at the intruder Lin Zihan in surprise. "What’s wrong with you?"
You know, Cao Shan has had a lot of contact with Lin Zihan these days. He always feels that Lin Zihan is calm and calm that he should not have at this age. He has a vicious eye on people and things, and he is very sophisticated in his actions. He seems to be a Old fox.
And now Lin Zihan looked panicked, like a frightened rabbit running for his life. There was no calmness in his eyes, only panic.
"Why did it malfunction? Is it a virus program or someone sabotaged it?" Lin Zihan threw himself in front of the screen and slapped the control center.
"Calm down first. Calm down." Cao Shan reached out and grabbed Lin Zihan, pulling Lin Zihan away from the controller. "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
The frightened eyes looked at Cao Shan blankly, with no expression on his face, and his face was as pale as a piece of white paper.
"If you had a dream like that and woke up with someone standing in front of your bed, you wouldn't be calm." Lin Zihan muttered to himself like a mosquito, looking around the monitoring room with panic eyes.
"It should just be in disrepair. If someone wants to paralyze such a strategic level monitoring equipment, it is almost impossible." Cao Shan stared at the only bright display screen in front of him, Lin Zihan's words were echoed by the beeping sound of the computer. , covering up the past.
"Everything is normal according to the system monitoring. It may be that it has not been maintained for too long and it is down." Cao Shan looked at the slowly lighting up screen on the wall, and the stone in his heart finally fell.
"Could it be some technical means such as signal interference?" Lin Zihan's breathing weakened, the rise and fall of his chest became much smaller, and his eyes scanned the screens that were slowly lighting up.
"These monitoring systems are all at the military strategic level. Whether it is firewalls or signal strength, they are all top-notch technologies, and these signals are transmitted through both wires and wireless." Cao Shan said, his eyes falling on the arms behind the monitor. Thick lines.
"The wireless terminal has nine signal points in the entire base, and the entire base can be used as a signal base. If you want to block these signals, you cannot use satellite positioning and use the same level of signal interference to cover the entire base.
As far as I know, someone who can mobilize a signal system of this size is probably at least the commander level in Nandu. Cao Shan said, with pride written all over his face. Although these equipment were not built by Cao Shan, Cao Shan was still very proud to be able to use such powerful equipment.
"Are you sure?" Lin Zihan didn't quite understand the definition of these strategic weapons, and he had very little research on these signals. He was a little ignorant. He only knew that these monitoring systems seemed to be very powerful.
"Unless..." Cao Shan said and paused.
"Unless it's something, just say it." Lin Zihan urged anxiously when he saw Cao Shan's hesitant look.
"Unless some dark matter cores are used to drive the antimatter signal to offset the monitoring signal, the wired signal and the wireless signal can be cut off at the same time." Cao Shan said, this is what Cao Shan heard when he was hunting again.
"Dark matter core and antimatter, do these things really exist?" Lin Zihan repeated Cao Shan's words with a solemn expression and looked at Cao Shan with empty eyes. His thoughts returned to the day he met Yuan Tingkai, the "void core" that Yuan Tingkai said.
"I don't know. Who knows about things that exist in theory?" Cao Shan shook his head. These things have always only existed at the research level and in unknown fields.
Until now, the highest research in the scientific community has only surpassed the material stage and reached the energy stage. In terms of magnitude, it is only close to microscopic research. As for claims such as dark matter, perhaps black hole research is more reliable.
"I believe in black hole research theory more than dark matter." Cao Shan said. Black hole research is the highest point in energy research. Black holes are known as the strongest energy aggregates. Compared with dark matter, at least the research on black hole energy has made significant progress. Progress.
"Black hole? The snake sword in Yuan Tingkai's hand has a black hole driving core attached. The energy that explodes is really terrifying." In front of Lin Zihan, the huge snake shadow was dancing and lingering.
"Then you also survived under him? Maybe you are a black hole yourself." Cao Shan wanted to be more optimistic than Lin Zihan, so optimistic that Lin Zihan began to doubt that Cao Shan was not a wilderness hunter, but a wilderness hunter. A warrior with a sense of justice.
"You seem to be very interested in these?" Lin Zihan said and looked at Cao Shan.
"What?" Cao Shan was a little confused, with a simple and honest smile on his face, and the tattoo didn't look so scary anymore.
"These various electronic devices, weapon systems, or physical research, scientific theories..." Lin Zihan didn't know what to say. It seemed that Cao Shan's words included the basic theories of the entire scientific community.
"It's just a hobby." Cao Shan touched his head and sat on the chair, smiling so honestly, without the pressure and ferocity of the past.
"Then why are you here?" Lin Zihan looked at the screen and did not stop at Cao Shan.
There was silence, and Cao Shan just continued to smile naively, but a trace of loneliness flashed across his face. The sincerity was missing from his smile, and it seemed more like a fake smile.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Lin Zihan stood up and clapped his hands. "Go to rest early."
"Actually, you look quite handsome without the mask." Cao Shan said as he looked at Lin Zihan who walked to the door.
Only then did Lin Zihan realize that in panic, his mask had fallen at the door.
