"Xiao Chen, something is wrong!" Zhao Tian's face was very ugly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Their resistance is too weak!" Zhao Tian said: "This is not the usual style of loiters! Although there are many mutual suspicions among loiters, when it comes to facing the enemy, it is more difficult to fight for themselves, not to mention ...... We don't see the wanderers whose wills are manipulated, nor the half-infected!"

"What do you mean...... They let us in on purpose?"

"I'm afraid so......" Zhao Tian nodded.

Listening to Zhao Tian's meaning, that is, we have fallen into the trap, but I am not panicking now, because the personnel distribution of the entire Evergreen Valley has been clarified by us, and there is no need to be afraid of letting them play tricks.

However, I still asked the personnel everywhere to be prepared for the emergency, and at the same time continued to let the gochai control them to control the little black thing to dig into other areas.

For the next ten minutes or so, nothing more happened, and the little black thing had more than doubled the area excavated, and now more underground areas had been excavated.

During this time, we also found and killed many more wanderers, but they were still a minority of the total.

My desire to eliminate the wanderers is actually secondary to me, and the key is that I want to find out what they are studying here, so I gave a second directive, which is to spare them if they can be caught alive, and see if I can ask for some key information about the content of the study.

Things went very fast, and after capturing a dozen wanderers alive in a row, we finally caught a man with inside information, who begged us to spare his life, and then told us all he knew.

According to this loiterer, the loiterer group in the Evergreen Valley belongs to an independent and closed system, which simply means that they belong to the same level as the Nine Rivers City and the loiter group, and they do not share resources with each other, and will only rush to the aid when there is a security threat.

And it was precisely for this reason that several other strongholds sent from Jiuhe City to help them burn the corpses of Gu things were ignorant of the situation in the Evergreen Valley.

Similarly, it has been almost two days since we eliminated those underground strongholds, and we haven't seen any alert from the Evergreen Valley, which means that they don't know anything about these things at all.

The wanderers of the Evergreen Valley were made up of a group of pre-cataclysmic medical workers who had wanted to flee by boat from the coastal areas of South China Province to other places after the catastrophic disaster, but they were forcibly isolated on the coast due to the rapid spread of the Gu worm virus.

Then they came across the Wanderers as we know them, and because of their medical skills, the Wanderers did not kill them, but absorbed them into their own team, and then ...... This group of people turned against the guest and became one of the many small groups of wanderers who took charge of themselves.

With the help of professional knowledge, these medical staff began to plan the improvement and utilization of the Gu worm virus very early, but there has been no obvious progress.

The reason why this is so is because they have been exhausted before entering Dongkou Province, and it is difficult for them to stay in one place for a long time, but since they arrived in Dongkou Province, they have a fairly comfortable living environment, and therefore, a major breakthrough has been made in the improvement of the Gu worm virus.

This is also the most critical point that the wanderer said, that is, the main researcher of Evergreen Valley has found a way to improve the efficiency of the Gu worm virus, simply put, it can turn some people who could not be perfectly integrated with the Gu worm virus into a physique suitable for perfect fusion.

The results of this study sound familiar to me, but if you think about it, you can understand that isn't this what those Taoyuan Island people do? They killed some unrelated guys, and then they became the super touching people we saw later in Wei Yuanhu's town.

Could it be that there are also people from Taoyuan Island here?

This time it really alerted me, and I told everyone to be on guard, and at the same time, I had to set aside a part of the wind and grass on the outskirts of the Evergreen Valley.

However, not much has changed until we have tripled the area of the underground layer in the first three times.

The only variable is that the number of loiters we catch is gradually increasing, and the first reaction of these loiters when we find them is usually to rush up and fight hard, and we have to give them a break.

By now, more than seventy percent of the entire Evergreen Valley, including the underground layer, had been cleared by us, and we had found a huge inventory of weapons here, and the stock of Gravel Guns had finally risen to a considerable level.

The abundance of food, clothing, and tools is also extremely abundant, and the other five underground strongholds we cleared earlier make us finally have the potential to dominate the side.

Well......

At least there is no need to worry about the material.

In addition, Mr. Qin also put forward a very bold idea to me, he said that with our current numbers, it is completely possible to disguise itself as a branch team of wanderers, after all, there is very little contact between Changqing Valley and other wanderers, and we can completely occupy the magpie's nest and replace it.

However, it is not so easy to accomplish this, even if there is little contact, some of the leaders of the team will not disappear without being suspicious of other wanderers, so we will have to discuss the specific matters.

What's more, the current crisis is far from over.

After we have cleared more than seventy percent of the Evergreen Valley, we intend to begin clearing the remaining areas, which have extended to the innermost part of the basement.

Considering the number of loiters we've just eliminated during the excavation, at least half of them haven't appeared, not to mention the sheer number of semi-infected, so we can't afford to take it lightly right now.

The underground layer of the Evergreen Valley is generally close to the type of ant nest, and they have further excavated the existing underground layer to make the entire underground layer present a network-like structure.

If it weren't for our overwhelming power advantage, we would definitely be in great trouble once we fall into this kind of underground layer, at least not so easily.

The reason why this point is made in particular is that when we dig further, we find that this network of terrain is starting to appear denser, and it feels ...... The underground layer behind this is not like it was excavated by a normal person......

It's more like being dug up casually by some animals with strong digging ability.

But...... But it is clearly not related to animals, because a large number of mural patterns began to appear on the stone walls of some of the last underground layers.

This proves that the main part of the underground layer used in the Evergreen Valley is still a facility built by the voodoo or Taoyuan people before the catastrophe.

In addition, in these deepest underground layers, the kind of walls made of bloodmelt stone also began to appear, so that the little black things could not continue to excavate, because they had no way to adjust the excavation direction in the details, which would cause those little black things to be unable to start when digging up the bloodmelt stone, after all, the hardness of the bloodmelt stone is not comparable to ordinary earth and stone

Moreover, once those little black things are bled by the incomparably hard blood melt stone, it will bring further vicious consequences, and the blood melt stone will swallow those little black things in an instant......

Any batch of Gu things we have in our hands now, especially Gu things with special operations capabilities like Xiao Hei Thing, we still have to try our best to preserve them, so from now on, I will let the Burmese Gu Division led by Gochai take a back seat and turn to the main force led by me to conduct in-depth exploration.

The main force is still made up of the elite of the bounty hunters and former members of the Salvation Army, and in order to maximize safety, we simply only dig the breach from one point and try to maximize the cross-section of the entrance to the breach.

And the excavation tools we can take from the materials we have just seized, all kinds of shovels, hammers, stone hammers.

But even so, after digging for a distance, we felt that this method was still not very feasible, because ...... Without heavy machinery, digging by hand alone would still be too slow.

It seems that the quickest way to get to the bottom of the story is to have someone dive in, but then the danger will be greatly increased.

In the end, He Yunsong proposed a very radical method to me, that is, to follow our measure of flooding the underground buildings on the island, and directly release the remaining underground floors to irrigate, and no matter what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods in it can rush out for him.

In this way, at least those living people who are not Gu creatures will definitely be spared, and they only have two ways, either they take the initiative to come out and surrender, or they can be drowned directly underground.

As for the remaining Gu things, some of them are likely to be drowned directly by the water, and the other part of the Gu beasts with strong Gu nature, such as me, have the ability to breathe underwater, and with the many manpower guards on our ground, they will definitely not be able to threaten us.

Just think of it, the flooding conditions here are still very sufficient, because there is a river to the west of the adjacent Changqing Valley, and it is not yet the freezing season, and the wanderers here have built some hydraulic pipelines to transport drinking water before this, so we only need to modify the end of the pipe a little, and gather the water from several nearby outlets into one point, and then concentrate on infusion.

This work can be done by the "craftsmen" of the Burmese, who have many talented water conservancy talents, who designed a specific water diversion plan in less than an hour, and with the concerted efforts of everyone, the river was easily poured into our pre-selected irrigation inlet.

The raging and icy water began to bubble into it, and after about ten minutes of flooding, we began to hear a large number of clear swelling sounds coming from the depths of the underground layer, and the sound was obviously that some living creatures were trying to climb out of the underground passage.

"Everyone pay attention! If any Gu thing shows up, I will be killed directly!" I commanded loudly.

At the same time, I also began to try to calm down and concentrate on feeling the breath of the Gu creatures in it, I seemed to be able to sense their emotional changes, these Gu creatures were very panicked after being flooded, and there was some fury mixed with them, I tried to establish contact with these Gu creatures several times, but they all failed, because the Gu nature of the Gu in this underground layer is not particularly high, and since this connection is based on the lucid dream connection brought by the Gu worm virus, it means that the Gu nature of the two sides of the connection must reach a strong enough critical value, and the Gu objects in this underground layer are far from reaching this level。

To put it bluntly, the Gu things in this underground layer are still very weak.

This didn't seem to be in line with what the wanderer we tortured before, because the wanderer clearly said that Evergreen Valley had mastered the method of making ordinary people and Gu worms fuse perfectly, so since it was a perfect fusion, it shouldn't be so weak.

......

Now that we can't establish a control connection, there's no need to show mercy to these Gu creatures, our people have already aimed their Gu muskets and anytime guns at the underground entrance in front of them.

After about half an hour of flooding, the water finally rose to where we are, but not half of the wanderers had escaped from it so far.

We waited a little longer, and then more and more corpses began to float......

They were all corpses of various animals, and not a single human corpse could be seen.

The corpses quickly blocked the inlet, and in order to see what was going on, I asked some people to start removing all the bodies near the inlet, but threw them directly into a deep pit next to them for centralized incineration.

This went on for about half an hour, when I suddenly saw a bounty hunter who was carrying it at the inlet plunged headlong into the water.

At first, I thought that something had fallen into the water and wanted to get it out, but when he surfaced face down, everyone realized that something was wrong.

Another bounty hunter next to him immediately dragged him out, only to find that the man was dead, with several shocking stab wounds on his face, apparently cut by a sharp object at great speed.

"Prepare for war!" Zhao Tian immediately shouted.

I asked He Yunsong to quickly inform Gechai and ask him to quickly let those Burmese Gu masters transfer the little black things back, after all, in this kind of hand-to-hand situation, the lethality of those little black things is still terrifying.

However, we waited for a long time and did not see anything crawl out of the water, but no one dared to approach the entrance now.

Knowing that it was a bounty hunter who was killed, and if he wanted to kill his name so quickly in the water without us noticing, then this enemy must be very fast.
