Suddenly, due to the strengthening of defensive decision-making, there were fewer people able to work, and the work efficiency was also lower. The overall progress of the team naturally slowed down.
After working for a long time, I continued to look for a piece of gravel with carved patterns. As for finding the remains of a large downward tunnel entrance, it was simply a dream.
The entire team hurriedly returned to camp amidst the gloom and gloom. The group of people wearing gas masks highlighted a silent sense of depression, making the barren mountains and ridges even more dangerous.
The air barrier of the gas masks did make some personnel's symptoms of hypersensitivity become severe again. The camp atmosphere that had finally been noisy before was also bleakly annihilated under the new crisis of auditory hallucinations.
Everyone was either cleaning up the sheep dung near the camp, or trying to rest and adjust as much as possible. A small auditory hallucination made everyone feel like they were facing a powerful enemy.
I don’t know if there will really be any major changes at night.
The evening wind gradually picked up, and the cold air current took away the little heat left in the camp, and also brought with it the invisible and unstable factor of wind media.
If Captain Dong takes advantage of the situation and spreads poison in the upwind area, the scene that happened on the ship may happen again tonight.
Amidst the gloom and gloom, the last ray of sunshine was swallowed up by the mountains and rivers, and darkness enveloped the earth as expected. The only good news was that the night wind was getting stronger, which was not suitable for poisoning.
But who can say for sure?
The bodyguards patrolling the camp all wore gas masks, and the tents were tightly tied up to prevent any air from entering from the outside.
At this time, Jiang Yingxue abandoned her tent and hid in Bai Ning's small tent drinking tea and reading the newspaper, as if waiting for a certain disaster that was about to happen.
She understood that Bai Ning remained normal during the auditory hallucinations last time. Bai Ning didn't want to say anything more about this.
According to normal circumstances, there will definitely be some changes in the camp tonight. As for how much damage this change will cause, it depends on Captain Dong's poisoning skills.
"Are you so sure that something strange will happen tonight?"
After the calm in the first half of the night, Bai Ning put down the tablet in his hand and asked lightly, as if he just remembered such a thing now.
"Not sure."
Jiang Yingxue responded lightly, without even raising her eyes, as if she was not interested in this topic at all.
"No need to pretend to be ignorant, now is the time for the change to occur."
This light sentence was like a bomb exploding in the narrow camp. Jiang Yingxue looked up at Bai Ning in surprise, not knowing why he could be so calm.
Bai Ning was the only one who stayed awake during the riot of auditory hallucinations. This was indeed the fundamental reason why Jiang Yingxue stayed in his tent, but Bai Ning didn't seem to care much about it.
On the other hand, I thought again, since the auditory hallucination riot in the camp had already begun, why didn't Jiang Yingxue have any abnormal reaction at all?
I could vaguely hear some auditory hallucinations in the river beach area before, but why now, I don’t feel anything at all?
Could it be that drinking tea can really help people partially resist the intrusion of auditory hallucinations?
However, Bai Ning hasn't had tea for a long time, why is he still fine?
"We have all been to the Tunguska area and entered the Soul Temple. Is this the key reason why you were able to escape unscathed from the ship riot?"
In a flash of thought, Jiang Yingxue also guessed the fundamental reason why Bai Ning was safe and sound.
It turns out that she, like Bai Ning, has strong resistance to Captain Dong's auditory hallucination attack. No wonder Bai Ning is so calm.
With two people who can rely on each other gathered together, no matter how big the commotion is in the entire camp, they will still have the capital to fight.
"The last ship riot involved cannibalism. Do you think it will be more serious tonight than before?"
After standing up and checking his equipment, Jiang Yingxue asked lightly, seeming to be planning in advance for the next level of violent confrontation.
Bai Ning had no doubt that Jiang Yingxue would kill anyone who threatened her with one shot.
“There wasn’t any commotion outside the tent, it wasn’t too bad.
This level of riots will only affect our state and allow us to rest.
By creating such a commotion, Captain Dong probably just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to snatch away the dragon-patterned slate.
The slate may not be of any use in our hands, but in the hands of someone like Captain Dong who has the inheritance of the dragon, it may be able to unleash some different power. "
After Bai Ning finished speaking, he opened the door curtain and walked out. Hearing his tone, he seemed to want to give the dragon-patterned slate to Captain Dong.
Before, Bai Ning seemed to want to kill Captain Dong, but now he wanted to use Captain Dong's ability to do something. This kind of unconstrained thinking was really difficult for Jiang Yingxue to understand.
Whether to kill Captain Dong or not cannot be determined in one or two sentences.
The situation outside the camp was even quieter than expected, and one or two bodyguards on night watch could be seen moving not far away.
The current overall perception is not as Bai Ning had judged that there had been changes in the camp.
In this regard, Jiang Yingxue could only assume that these personnel were experiencing auditory hallucinations. Even if they were still patrolling the camp, it was just out of instinctive restlessness.
Maybe in the next moment, these bodyguards on night watch would burst into violence and attack the two bosses as intruders.
You must know why the people on the ship were so bloody that they killed each other. Even the parties involved could not describe it clearly, so Jiang Yingxue was still very afraid of it.
Following Bai Ning, he moved carefully around the edge of the camp. The starlight in the sky kept the camp from being too dark, and there were a lot of lighting to assist, so there was no obstacle to movement.
He moved to the entrance of the nearest tent, lay down on it and listened carefully. It was quiet inside the tent, without even the slightest sound of human interaction.
Even if there is no snoring, are all the people living there in a daze?
Jiang Yingxue carefully opened the corner of the door curtain and looked inside. It was pitch black with no lights for lighting.
This is very strange. The tents in the entire camp are all assigned personnel, and everyone returned to the camp early tonight. There is no way that there is no one in this tent.
Just when Jiang Yingxue wanted to leak some outside lighting in, her move was stopped by Bai Ning.
Just as he was doubting, a warm current of aura belonging to a living person suddenly surged through the darkness not far away, and Jiang Yingxue was so startled that she almost drew her gun and shot.
It was obvious that just now, a large living person was passing in front of her silently, but because it was too dark in the camp, it was impossible to see the traces of this person's activities.
With the skills of the Jiang family's bodyguards, it is not too difficult to sneak silently in the darkness.
However, why would a person who has had auditory hallucinations move around silently in the tent like a wandering spirit?
Under Bai Ning's gesture command, even if she was filled with doubts, she could only re-cover the uncovered corner, and then tiptoe away from this depressing and weird tent.
Not long after, the two returned to Bai Ning's tent, and Jiang Yingxue finally let out a heavy breath. It seemed that the strange scene just now had a strong sense of oppression on her.
They were all acquaintances who had known each other day and night, but after just half a night, they all turned into wandering ghosts without touching the ground. This was not something that anyone could easily accept.
In addition, these people who are trapped in auditory hallucinations may also be extremely aggressive, which makes it even more difficult to resist.
In fact, it is even more terrifying to think about it. These people who are trapped in auditory hallucinations are likely to have entered a state similar to sleepwalking, and this state may have started since they arrived here.
It was only because Bai Ning and others also had similar symptoms during this period that they were taken seriously.
In the dead of night, these bodyguards, who are normal during the day, are in the current state of silent sleepwalking.
Surrounded by such a strange crowd, she, Jiang Yingxue, was sleeping soundly in her tent without realizing it. Just thinking about it made her feel chilly on her back.
“It seems that everyone in the entire camp has been recruited.
In this abnormal state, the boat runner should have sneaked in and stolen things.
But he didn't come in, which meant that he actually couldn't control these people who were in deep auditory hallucinations. "
Jiang Yingxue gave her own judgment on the current situation.
Based on her judgment, Captain Dong would only calmly come to seize the fruits of victory after a complete death riot broke out in the camp.
Their entire camp is now just like a dynamite barrel with a burning fuse, heading towards destruction without even realizing it.
"It's not too certain whether Captain Dong can control the people with auditory hallucinations as directed, but he uses auditory hallucinations to achieve a certain purpose of controlling the people.
Now he doesn't come in just because the control effect is not perfect, and it may cause unexpected harm to him.
In other words, once the current auditory hallucination personnel break into riot, they will attack everyone within sight. "
Based on his understanding of the previous auditory hallucination riots, Bai Ning gave a more detailed definition of the current situation.
"Then what should we do now? We can't pretend not to know and fall asleep, just wait quietly until dawn, right?
It's not wise to be surrounded by unstable people and watch them slip into ever more dangerous instability. "
It was not Jiang Yingxue's style of life to muddle along in a muddle-headed manner, so that although the crisis of the night could be temporarily overcome, watching the crisis finally erupt before his eyes.
The sense of control has always been what a powerful person like her cares about most, whether this sense of control is real or illusory.
