I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I asked them to sort out the information for a second time, and then systematically study it in detail.

But things soon changed again, and just as we were about to cremate the last half-infected who died en masse, all of the half-infected who were supposed to be corpses were ...... Stand up!

The reason why we didn't say they were alive was because these guys were still motionless when they got up, even if we pushed them.

Not only did the semi-infected get up, but the other corpses that had not been transported out of the underground layer in time, including the wanderers, had also undergone such changes.

The scene was still terrifying, as if countless people had been ghosted, and I told everyone to stay away from these strange things for a while, and then, as before, I selected some suitable "specimens" and put them aside for careful examination.

Naturally, the examination had to be handed over to the Burmese, and after careful study again, they came to the conclusion that these people who stood up for the second time had recovered their normal vital signs to a certain extent, but their brains were not conscious, much like people who were manipulated by the Gu worm virus.

But they are obviously completely different from the resurrected corpses, firstly, there is no trace of the residual Gu worm virus on these people's bodies, and secondly, their appearance is also different from the resurrected corpses, at least there will be no such hard scaly thyroid cortex on the skin.

Then I asked the Burmese to try to see if they could use a spell to make these guys walk and move, and it didn't work.

I don't know what to do with these "standing dead people" now, and it seems a bit inappropriate to burn them like this, so after thinking about it, I decided that it would be better to fence off a vacant lot in the Evergreen Valley for the time being, and to store these people.

But then there is a danger that these people will riot at any time, and it will be troublesome if they suddenly become aggressive and start attacking our people, after all, there are many of them, and I am not likely to send too many guards here due to the pressure of the construction of the homeland.

But......

Soon things changed again.

Or the few semi-infected people that we initially used as research samples, and the Burmese discovered an interesting phenomenon of these semi-infected people in the later stages of the study.

That is, when we keep repeating a certain action in front of these people, they will also start to learn to do it.

Knowing that the Burmese have previously examined these semi-infected people and some wanderers, they found that the Gu worm virus on their bodies has completely dissipated, which makes me wonder if we have inadvertently witnessed the historic scene of the Gu worm virus disappearing from the living body.

And if this is the case, then it means that this method is still flawed, at least it cannot restore people to full consciousness, but can only retain the ability of these individuals to imitate.

Well......

It's more like sending them back to the time when they were born from their mother's womb, where everything is new to them and needs to be relearned?

But it doesn't seem to match my assumptions, because newborn babies are at least crying and moving, and now these people are more like a bunch of robots that have been given a simple simulation program.

In this regard, Chen Mengyu gave an all-encompassing and appropriate name, called the puppet man, in order to facilitate everyone's communication, I asked everyone to pass on the words to each other, and when they encounter something about them in the future, they will be called "puppet people".

These puppets include the original wanderers and semi-infected people controlled by the wanderers, but there are no non-human creatures involved, and all the things we see in the many stone chambers in the underground floors that are connected to the pipes are humans, so I think the key problem here still exists in those underground facilities, and if we want to find out these specific contents, we still have to analyze them in combination with the documents we have seized.

However, this is not something that can be solved in a day or two, after all, the base of data is too large, and there are a lot of useless fragmentary data, so counting the screening and classification and systematic inductive analysis, no one wants to study the famous place.

For this reason, I have sent out a group of knowledgeable Burmese people, who do nothing but study the relevance of these documents to the facilities in the underground layers of the Evergreen Valley, and who also happen to be able to take care of the many puppets in our place.

This is the end of the offensive against Changqing Valley, and although there are still many remaining problems that have not been resolved, at least we have seized solid supplies and expanded our territory in Dongkou Province, which is still very gratifying.

Suffice it to say, with my current strength, and the Wanderer's own internal and external troubles, even if they now discover where we are, I have the confidence to resist their onslaught.

What's more, the Wanderers are simply incapable now, because they now have new troubles.

The Wanderer's main enemies in South and North China were the Blue Bird Company and the Salvation Army, both of which have largely collapsed, and the remnants of them have followed in my footsteps.

And the people who have clashed with them recently are actually those who have not yet fully identified the Taoyuan Islanders, and I also hope that these terrible and weird creatures will be wiped out, not to mention that when we return to the island in the foreseeable future, we will inevitably have a head-on conflict with them.

However, the troubles of the wanderers this time were not caused by them, but ...... Voodoo people.

Or maybe it......

The people of the moon spirits.

I've always wondered why the voodoo people have been slow to show up since they had infiltrated China so early, and now they have finally arrived.

The news came to me from the bounty hunters I sent out to scout for information in the next few days, and they said that there were now days of fighting breaking out in the border area of Dongkou Province, with Nine Rivers City as the central point, and the fighting was mainly concentrated in the main city areas near Nine Rivers City.

And the way of fighting is also a bit unexpected, I didn't expect that even Voodoo couldn't overcome the cold weather and use psionic means, this time Voodoo basically relied on real military means to clash with the wanderers.

Up to now, the loiterers had no way to resist the sudden large-scale attack of the voodoo, and now they were retreating, and the various loiterer communities south of Dongkou Province had begun to assemble, and they should have planned to retreat to the mountain areas of the central part of Dongkou Province and engage in mountain guerrilla warfare with those voodoo.

And then there is the information on the number of voodoo, after all, the base of wanderers is very terrifying, and if voodoo wants to win on the frontal battlefield, then their manpower will naturally not be too small.

Lu Ming made a conservative estimate, saying that the number of voodoo sects that appeared this time was seven or eight thousand, and the real number must be only a lot more.

So the question is, what is the purpose of these voodoo attacks on Dongkou Province?

Also, who commanded them?

I had always thought that the wanderers were simply interested in the climate advantages of Dongkou Province, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

Because the voodoo cult itself would not worry about survival, the initiators of these Gu worms and viruses were eager to spread the whole world with cataclysm, how could they be subject to this environment? Therefore, they must have other purposes for attacking Dongkou Province.

I'm not as arrogant as I used to be, at least I don't have to guess that they're here for me, and the trajectory of voodoo's actions can be seen to be against the loiterers, or the entire province of Dongkou.

I gathered Liu Yong, Mr. Qin, and Zhao Tian, three people who had a relationship with the Wanderers, and asked them to try to recall whether they had heard other Wanderers from other Wanderers during their time in Dongkou Province, especially those who had been mentioned by the Wanderers' higher-ups.

But to my disappointment, the three of them were not able to give any valuable information, and Mr. Qin also said that although he was not a high-level person, he had dealt with many of the leaders of the Wanderers, and had never heard of any other purpose for them, and these people came here purely to survive.

Mr. Qin's words didn't seem to be false, because the Wanderer's previous performance in all aspects showed this, and if they had a special purpose, it would be impossible for them to keep the news so tightly sealed, after all, the Wanderer was operated by countless relatively independent groups, and it was almost impossible for these secrets to remain secret in different communities.

Therefore, the matter has to be considered from the other side, the voodoo only want to occupy the province of Dongkou, and the loiterers are the resistance to their occupation of the loiterers, so they have to carry out the purge operation.

In addition, the conductor is also an elusive thing.

There are only two true leaders of voodoo that I have seen so far, one is the saint who has been separated from us for a long time, and the other is the "new god" I saw in my lucid dreams.

Moreover, the name "Shingami" also appeared in the beliefs of the people of Taoyuan Island, and I don't know if the two refer to the same Shinshin.

In addition to these two people, there is only Moon Spirit, but Moon Spirit does not seem to be the leader of voodoo, after all, the only time I saw the masked man army led by her was on the night when my train chased Chen Lie, but it turned out that those voodoo members controlled by Moon Spirit were actually a bunch of ordinary people wearing masks and not having complete thinking.

But I still have to be wary of the threat of the arrival of the moon spirit, after all, she has a close relationship with the Holy Maiden, and the whereabouts of the holy woman are unknown now, and the devil knows if she has returned to the embrace of the moon spirit for so long.

I still maintain the basic idea of "losing both" for the enemy, which means that the conflict between the voodoo and the loiterers will be as much as possible to deepen the battle damage of both sides.

However, this expectation quickly upset the balance, because the Voodoo offensive in the next few days was already overwhelming, and the original plan of the wanderers was to retreat to the central mountain region to carry out guerrilla attacks as a last resort, but this "unavoidable" time really arrived in just two single days.

At this rate, voodoo is likely to spread quickly to our area, and with the frescoed underground floors all over here, I feel that these voodoo people must be familiar with the terrain here, and even our only geographical advantage will disappear.

If I had to choose who to fight against, I'd rather choose the Wanderer...... After all, these loiterers are the worst of the many forces, and they are more akin to the spontaneous militia that has been assembled spontaneously.

Voodoo, on the other hand, is a group of people who are armed with thaumaturgy and don't even know whether they are humans or ghosts......

In the spirit of the principle of death and coldness, I suddenly found it necessary for us to begin to fight alongside the wanderers in the true sense of the word against this massive voodoo invasion.

Of course, there is a premise for this side by side, that is, we still cannot reveal our true identities, but instead fight under the cover of a branch of the Wanderer.

And the key person in this cover is naturally on Liu Yong, after all, in the final stage of Jiuhe City, Liu Yong finally chose to stand on the side of the wanderer, and was later forcibly taken away by me, so that Liu Yong's identity on the side of the wanderer will still not be suspected.

And then we just need to let Liu Yong come forward and say that he escaped our control and eliminated us, and then bring a team of wanderers into the fray, which can perfectly conceal our true identity.

Although this lie is somewhat flawed, in the face of a strong enemy, I believe that those wanderers will not be suspicious, and they may not have time to care about us.

In this way, as long as we can repel the Voldus, then our own territory will be secured.

A week after we cleared the Evergreen Valley, I took Mr. Qin, Zhao Tian, and Liu Yong, three people who had been among the Wanderers, and ten Wanderers led by Lu Ming to form a special task force and set out to search for Wanderers near the Central Mountains of Dongkou Province in search of an alliance with them. If all goes well, we will temporarily have a strategic relationship to keep the mountains east and connect the entire plain of the Evergreen Valley.

This mountain range in the central part of Dongkou Province is called the Qinhuai Mountains, and almost spans the eastern and western ends of Dongkou Province.

Mr. Qin said that there are more than a dozen independent groups of wanderers near the Qinhuai Mountains, and the largest group of wanderers belongs to a group of wanderers in the coastal area of South China Province, and some of these people seem to have visited our island.

The combat effectiveness of these dozen or so loitering groups is not trivial, and now that they have gathered the remnants of the loitering that have retreated from the southern end, they should be able to hold off the voodoo offensive.
