"It's not impossible. There are not many villages that can maintain a stable life these days." Ye Xiu said.
After saying that, Ye Xiu fell into deep thought. Although this village is far away from the city center, the sky is still cloudy all year round, and it is located very close to the sea, so it is inevitably affected by acid rain and hurricanes.
But even so, this village seems to be very stable. There is no sign of damage from extreme weather. Such a situation is really rare in this post-apocalyptic era.
Besides, mutants would attack the Legion from time to time. The Legion resisted again and again, never allowing the mutants to penetrate deeper. They are not popular in the legion, so have they never paid attention to this village?
You know, these mutants rely on human flesh to support themselves. A legion with over 10,000 mercenaries is difficult to deal with, so wouldn’t it be difficult to deal with a rural area with only about 20 households?
"We haven't arrived at their camp yet. When we do, let's ask clearly!" Ye Yin said.
"What are you discussing? You said it so softly?" Feiyu asked doubtfully.
"Yes, yes! Did you find anything?" Fang Qing also came over.
"I didn't find anything, I just feel that this village is very weird. It is definitely not what it seems on the surface, there must be some unknown secrets hidden here." Ye Xiu said.
"Then we still follow, what if they are not good for us?" Feiyu frowned.
"No, the distance between this village and the legion is only more than ten miles. It was also introduced by the old captain, so it's okay. Besides, this village and the legion can be regarded as mutually dependent and supporting each other. If the legion is offended, it will not happen out of thin air. Adding trouble to yourself. I think the people in this village won't be that stupid." Ye Yin said.
"Yes! Yes! It seems that captain Tang Zhong is indeed very kind." Fang Qing said.
After walking for about ten minutes, a camp made of countless huge wooden columns slowly opened its door to everyone. Both sides of the camp were surrounded by mountainous areas with clusters of dead trees, which looked deserted. Inside the camp, except for the burning torches in the corners, there was almost no one.
Recalling the scene where the guards could blend into the trees just now. Seeing this camp and the surrounding mountains, everyone felt a little in awe. If a dead tree can hide a person, then aren't the dead trees in the surrounding mountains able to accommodate a legion of over 10,000 people?
Passing through the shooting range inside the military camp, and walking deeper, there is a huge wooden arena. There is a huge word "和" written in the center of the ring, and several wooden lions stand at the four corners of the ring with very strange expressions.
Passing by the arena and entering the military tent, a wooden handsome table was placed in the center. To the left was a simulated combat map and various wooden weapons. There is a bonfire on the right, with more than a dozen grilled whole fish, and fragrant oil is dripping on the bonfire.
"You guys have traveled a long way and have worked hard to get here. Drink some wine, eat some fatty fish, and replenish your health." Tang Zhong gestured for everyone to sit down at the wooden tables and chairs beside the campfire, and pulled out a handful from his sleeves. With the dagger, he quickly cut off several plates of fish and handed them to everyone one by one.
"Brother Tang, thank you for your hospitality. However, we do have important matters to ask today. Please tell me everything you know!" Ye Yin said.
"What you want to ask is about the sea monster, right?" Tang Zhong chewed the fish meat while concentrating on grilling the fish.
"You know, the purpose of our coming?" Ye Xiu asked doubtfully.
"MG Legion Logistics Department, Captain Peng and I are old acquaintances. Before you set off, he had already signaled to me. However, I didn't expect you to come so fast. It seems that you encountered a troublesome guy this time! "Tang Zhong said.
"This time? Is it possible that you have helped the legion deal with sea monsters before?" Ye Yin asked.
"To be honest, the army and our village are neighbors by the sea. It is common for us to help each other," Tang Zhong said.
"Okay, in that case. Let's get straight to the point. This time, the number of logistics soldiers who disappeared inexplicably within our legion has reached thousands. And after we just completed the task of strangling mutants, we also accidentally observed one, which was transformed from a cruise ship. A large sea monster. However, judging from the corpses of these logistics soldiers after they disappeared, they were very clean. Later, we surveyed this sea area, but no traces were found. However, the number of logistics soldiers was still increasing significantly. Disappeared." Ye Xiu frowned and said, "Brother Tang, what advice do you have in this situation? Where should we start to find out the whereabouts of the sea monster?"
"Disappear? No traces on the bones? Cruise ship? It is possible, but how could such a huge sea monster make no movement at all when it eats people? Is it possible that such a large number of people disappeared voluntarily? Come to the door? Please let me think twice!" Tang Zhong asked doubtfully.
"Brother Tang, please tell us if you have anything in mind." Ye Xiu said.
"If it is a giant sea monster, then there must be a way to lure people into taking the bait, otherwise these logistics soldiers would not die one by one. However, even if there is such a method, it can only be implemented at sea... Ye Brother, when did these logistics soldiers disappear?" Tang Zhong asked.
"While on patrol, the number of people disappearing is increasing every day! If this continues, the entire logistics corps may be gone," Ye Xiu said.
"Oh~ We have encountered this kind of giant sea monster before. Their body shape can be changed into any shape they want at will, so as to lure people to the bait. Last time, we met an incarnation The sea monster turned into a wooden house, and the wooden house was filled with delicious food. Resources were scarce at that time, and everyone was very hungry. Some teammates were confused by the delicious food and failed to control it. After entering the wooden house, they never came out. Later. Only then did we realize that this wooden house was transformed into a two-meter-long jellyfish spirit. It transforms into various houses on the coast all year round to lure people into being deceived. Brother Ye Xiu, I guess the cruise ship you saw is also the same. Same reason."
"But the strange thing is that we got off the cruise ship together. Why didn't it attack us? We defeated a fifth-level mutant on the cruise ship and slandered the cruise ship with holes. It didn't even attack us. ? Is this sea monster too kind? " Ye Xiu asked doubtfully.
"Perhaps, it just thinks that your strength is higher than its own, so it doesn't act rashly. Although there is a kind of sea monster that is huge, it is not very aggressive. Guys, follow me." Tang Zhong stood up and motioned for everyone to follow him.
I saw him walking to the handsome desk and twisting the pen box on it. A hole opened in the floor, a downward staircase slowly pushed into a bottomless black hole.
"Below is our special place for observing sea monsters. There are many sophisticated instruments here. The answer to what you want can probably be found here! Please come with me!"
As the stairs go down step by step, a laboratory made of glass appears in front of everyone. In the laboratory, there are many telescopes and observation glasses connected to the ground, and outside the surrounding glass, there are many colorful and weird-shaped fish swimming around. But it seems that these fish groups are completely unaware of the location of this laboratory.
"This laboratory is an observation room hidden under the sea. It is a full hundred meters deep, and our observation mirror covers almost every corner of the seabed. We can clearly see the fish we want to observe. .plz follow me!"
Tang Zhong walked to an experimental table, opened an observation mirror frame with extremely precise graduations, and held the bearing on the left side of the frame with his left hand, turning it slightly. On the experimental table, a mirror cover with an area of about 50 centimeters and full of metal patterns was pushed open, and everything that could be observed within the observation area was displayed in the mirror on the table.
"The legions you are in are on the east side of the coast. Brother Ye, do you still remember where the cruise ship you mentioned is on the coast?" Tang Zhong asked.
"Northeast, I can't remember the exact location."
"Okay!" Tang Zhong turned the position of the instrument, and the picture displayed in the frame on the table slowly switched.
"Wow! This instrument is so amazing!" Fang Qing said excitedly.
"There are so many houses of various shapes on the seabed? There are also so many strange fish! It's really scary!" Feiyu sighed slightly.
"Yes! Since the purple moon hung in the sky, not only some humans have begun to mutate, but also the fish on the seabed have been affected. Many of the fish infected by the virus have also mutated. The ones Miss Feiyu saw on the rocks The house built on top of it is most likely transformed by some kind of fish!”
Tang Zhong stood up and turned the frame on the experimental table, and a huge cruise ship appeared inside the frame. However, there is a huge fish eye at the bottom of this cruise ship! And a huge fang!
"That's right! This is the cruise ship! I didn't expect that this observation room could be turned on so quickly...Wow! It's so scary!!! This must be the devil!"
"This cruise ship can float on the bottom of the sea for so long, and it is still intact. It is obviously constantly supplied with nutrients, so it can replace its skin and survive for a long time. It feels like this cruise ship is at least a mutated giant whale. Transformation. However, the daily energy supply of such a giant whale simply by eating humans is obviously not enough," Tang Zhong said.
"You mean, this giant whale is not the murderer who caused the logistics soldiers to disappear?" Ye Yin asked doubtfully: "Then it will be other sea monsters?"
"Not necessarily, and it's probably not caused by sea monsters! Maybe it's other species, but not necessarily! You just said that the logistics soldiers disappeared on the way to patrol. So the places they passed were all close to the sea "Yes?" Tang Zhong asked.
"Not entirely, but most of them are close to the sea!" Ye Xiu frowned and said, "By the way, why don't we go and investigate the section of road they patrol?"
"But after we tried it, we found nothing!"
"No! We only found it in one time period. The patrols of the logistics troops are divided into many time periods."
"This is simple, just leave it to us Mu Yin!"
