They headed north along the path. The horse's hooves stepped on the frozen soil mixed with ice, snow and mud. The horse lantern hanging from the horse's neck could barely illuminate the road for three to five meters without hitting the rock.
"This road leads to the mine," a scout's voice was filled with wind. "Have you ever seen that kind of large mine? It's like a volcano crater, with a deep depression in the middle and multiple tunnels to the outside. Only by using the right road can the crude ore be transported out smoothly!"
Someone asked: "You haven't been staying with us all the time, how do you know about volcanoes?"
The scout raised his chin proudly: "Because I saw it in the magazine my eldest sister bought!"
The eldest sister they call is Frost Star. White Rabbit is relatively older in the Snow Monster Team. To be precise, the overall age of the Snow Monster Team is relatively young. These days, Zhou Jinru has also discovered a few Snow Monsters who are only about ten years old. Strange.
From now on, no one can say that Rhode Island recruits child labor. It is obvious that the age of employment in the integration movement is even younger!
"Have you forgotten that my eldest sister is also a girl? She rarely smiles. She is like a piece of ice, which is quite worrying. What if she really turns into a piece of ice?"
Another scout loudly said: "Not at all! As long as the leader is there, the emotional activities of the eldest sister can be enriched every time!"
The corner of Zhou Jinru's mouth twitched a few times. Tallulah can indeed activate Shuangxing's emotions and treat her hypotension. You snow monsters, are you really not worried that they will fight one day?
Sure enough, the snow monster who asked the question at the beginning said worriedly: "Sister looks very angry. What if there is a fight? Who can we help?"
"No, the relationship between the leader and the eldest sister is very good. They are good friends. But even if they really fight, they must help the eldest sister. We are snow monsters!"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go to the mine."
Zhou Jinru terminated the hilarious conversation, and if the conversation continued, the relationship between the cadres of the integration movement would break down. These gossips were mainly responsible for the breakdown.
…
The mine in the north is quiet, without any sound. Because the weather is too cold, the machines have been turned off early, and the workers have returned home. After nightfall, even wild animals are unwilling to visit.
Zhou Jinru walked in front with his waist bent, a telescope hung around his neck, and a fluorescent paper that could only be seen with special glasses attached to his back. The other three scouts were scattered in three directions, quietly following behind.
As early as when he entered the mine, Zhou Jinru used all his strength to sense emotions. He did not need to deliberately distinguish because he only had three scouts.
After walking for a while, I came to the bottom of the mine and felt nothing.
He glanced up at the supporting wall, bent his legs slightly, jumped up with all his strength, climbed up the edge, lay on the top of the wall, pulled out the telescope and looked into the distance.
The moon hanging in the sky cast a glow, providing just enough light to allow him to see farther.
After observing it for a while, Zhou Jinru secretly sighed in his heart that it was indeed a medium-to-large mine with more than a thousand people. The size of the mine was not comparable to the crater of Xista, but it was already exaggerated in the eyes of ordinary people.
He turned over and slid down. Just when he was hanging on the supporting wall, something strange appeared in the range of his emotional perception, as if something was coming quickly from the end of the sky.
Zhou Jinru held his breath, his body was like a stone, merging with the wall. Coupled with the cover of the night, it was extremely difficult to be discovered.
The sound of wind carried the vibration of wings, and a black shadow flew over their heads, but did not notice the four people on the ground.
Zhou Jinru slowly turned around, and the black shadow had gone away, flying towards the mining town without stopping or turning back.
"A demon flying in the air?"
He had seen a brain demon before, what was this one now?
"Should we continue to scout the mines, or should we head north again?"
Zhou Jinru thought for two seconds and came to a conclusion: "You two return immediately and report the situation. Who is that? You continue to follow me north. Is there any problem?"
The scout's face turned dark when he was named: "My code name is Big Bear."
The four soldiers were divided into two groups and acted separately.
…
After this investigation, the shortcomings of the integrated movement were suddenly exposed. They lacked aerial reconnaissance equipment. It was not enough to rely on legs and human eyes to observe. If Zhou Jinru's emotional perception could not capture abnormal units, the people who had just flown over from the sky would The demon would just be thought of as some kind of big bird.
By the time they were equipped with drones, it would be several years later, and civilian armed organizations were always one step behind.
By 1097, Rhode Island was equipped with Originium explosives on a large scale as firepower, which made Frost Star jealous...
Zhou Jinru thought for a while, and he was not a member of the integration movement, so there was no need to bother with this. Besides, he could not prevent the Qicheng incident at the end of 1096.
"Big Bear."
"I am here."
"Wait a minute and follow me."
"I see."
The two people walked along the outer circle of the mine and looked into the distance. The ground was covered with a silver carpet, with a few scattered trees dotted at the end.
Zhou Jinru looked solemn. He saw some strange sights through the telescope. Deep in the darkness, something seemed to be moving slowly, like a colony of ants, so densely packed that it made people's scalp numb.
"Then, what is that?"
"Our enemy."
No!
There are too many, much more than what I have seen before. Aren't these things blocked by the northern army? Why do so many of them appear? !
Big Bear was so frightened that his face turned pale and his legs were shaking. If Zhou Jinru hadn't stopped him, he would have almost collapsed in the snow.
"Ordinary people can be so frightened just by looking at a demon. How did Tallulah win before?"
Zhou Jinru couldn't think of an answer, so he pulled the big bear and said hurriedly: "We should go back!"
"Four, Mr. Four, can we really win?"
"I don't know, but I should give it a try. The leader of Frost Star will definitely not be willing to evacuate. Depending on the situation, even if he wants to evacuate, it will be too late."
The tide of demons was so close, even if Shuangxing cruelly left the town with more than a thousand people and fled, there was a high chance of being overtaken, and besides, she was not willing to run away at all.
"Yes, eldest sister will not run away. She believes in the leader and also believes in eldest father, and so do we!"
A surge of courage was injected into Nobita's heart, allowing him to use his spiritual will to resist the fear and panic when encountering evil spirits.
He didn't notice Zhou Jinru looking over with a strange look.
People who have been defeated by fear can actually rekindle the fire of bravery and are willing to fight until the last moment. Zhou Jinru did not use emotions to guide him at all. Da Xiong achieved this step through his own will, which means that he trusts Tallulah very much. Patriot and Froststar.
