Chapter 1024: Seize the Supplies (5)
Remember [800โ Little รท Say โ Network in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
When the wanderers heard what had happened to the first stronghold, most of them were worried, after all, they had been living comfortably in these remote areas for a long time, and they had not encountered any emergencies during this time, and now they had the idea of fleeing.
Naturally, I can't let them do this, because once they return to the vicinity of Nine Rivers City, it means that our scam will be exposed, and although I can blatantly rob their supplies now, it will inevitably cause losses to my own personnel, after all, there are hundreds of wanderers here, and I don't want my human resources to be wasted in this kind of place.
At that moment, I made up a lie and told the wanderers that the current flow trajectory of this psionic energy had not yet been ascertained, and that it was better for them to stay here and not act rashly, otherwise they would be entangled in this psionic energy on the long journey back to Jiuhe City, and they would not know how they would die.
At this time, none of those wanderers have proposed the idea of returning to Jiuhe City, but this is actually not particularly related to my own lies, mainly because of Liu Yong's presence.
Liu Yong is now completely a savior in their hearts, because Liu Yong himself is a strong spiritual energy, and these wanderers think that there will be no danger if they follow him.
I also took the opportunity to tell the wanderers that while it was not possible to make a long journey to Nine Rivers City right now, it was possible to make a short transfer, that is, to the vicinity of our underground sewer stronghold.
Of course, I didn't confess to the rest of us, but told the wanderers to wait for news from me, and when I settled on a location, I would let them move there with all their supplies first.
I've already figured out a place in a low-lying area next to our camp, a little way from the sewer camp, and as long as we don't expose too much, the wanderers won't notice it under my leadership.
Wait until I've got all the supplies delivered to the wanderers, and then I'll find a way to catch them all.
I immediately ordered the other wanderers to stay in their respective strongholds for the time being, and I took Liu Yong back to my new camp first.
The trip took about half a day, and many of the others we had sent out to do their work had not returned, but I gathered all the key personnel in the camp and recounted what we had found today.
The reaction of the crowd was beyond my expectations, and I thought they would be surprised by this new psychic power, but most of them thought that this was normal, because the area we are in now is almost full of all kinds of underground floors with murals, and these underground layers were dedicated to psionic research before the cataclysm, and now some of the participating psionic abilities are hidden here, and even the kind of super touching existence that is enough to match me is normal.
And because of the presence of me and Liu Yong, they didn't think that these scattered psionic abilities would be too much of a threat.
Next is our plan to deal with the wanderers, I first asked the opinions of the people, asking them whether these people should be captured or killed, the opinions are also unimaginably unified, almost many people, including Mr. Qin, Zhao Tian, Liu Yong, all think that it is the best policy to kill all the wanderers here to prevent future troubles.
This is also true of what I mean, for I have seen the filth of these wanderers, unlike the bounty hunters and former members of the Salvation Army that I have co-opted, who have been our enemies but are ultimately their own masters, and do not know what each other's intentions are.
And in terms of personal qualities and qualities, they are not the kind of heinous people.
But these wanderers are a different story, as Liu Yong said, they are indeed some unstable elements, and there is almost no value for cooperation.
Now that the policy of "killing them all" has been decided, the next arrangement is much simpler, I will let the bounty hunters, former Salvation Army members and some Burmese who can fight in ambush near the depression in advance, and then Liu Yong will let those wanderers gather near the low-lying area mentioned above, and when all the supplies have arrived and been preserved, I will send a signal to ambush the soldiers to kill them together to completely solve these unstable factors.
It sounds cruel, but these troubles must be eradicated now, too.
However, there is one necessary thing to take care of before this plan can be implemented.
Naturally, it is the first underground stronghold that has been swept by mysterious psionic energy, you must know that the materials in this first stronghold are the richest, and the reserves are also the largest, especially there are a lot of weapons and ammunition in it, and I can't let it go for no reason.
However, now the wanderers inside are almost dead, and the wanderers in other places don't have the courage to go down, so if we want to take out the supplies inside, we have to do it ourselves.
Judging from my previous experience, the energy here seems to be invisible, so Lu Ming suggested that I start to do it during the day, digging up this underground stronghold layer by layer from the outside, and exposing those energies to the sun, so as to minimize our own danger factor.
In addition, Liu Yong and I will also be on the scene in person, so even if that kind of energy comes out, we can rely on me and Liu Yong to suppress this energy back, or even disperse it.
This kind of excavation would not have been possible for ordinary people without the help of heavy machinery, but it was not difficult for us because of the presence of the Burmese little black stuff, and it was easy to dig through the underground layer.
That night I had a good meal, and then I selected a team of two hundred men, selected from among the bounty hunters, the former Salvation Army, and the Burmese, and I made them each fully equipped, at least the cold weapons, and I gave them all the gravel guns I had used before.
As for the rest, we will continue to survey and expand the surrounding area as we had planned.
Early the next morning, I drove with a team of 200 people to the underground stronghold of the first wanderer, while the Burmese led by Gochai were responsible for controlling about 50 small black things to excavate the site, and the rest of us cooperated with those small black things for security defense.
The speed of progress is very fast, the excavation speed of those little black things is almost comparable to that of a ground drill, and it takes less than ten minutes to dig out more than a dozen passages through the underground layer, but this is not enough, my purpose is to dig through the entire underground layer here.
So under my instruction, Gochai began to let those little black things dig deep at the same time, and began to penetrate each other, and then formed a three-dimensional grid descending excavation method, the advantage of this excavation method is that it can quickly collapse the current soil layer.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the top of the underground layer to begin to be exposed to sunlight, and a large number of underground strongholds were exposed to the sun.
I saw a lot of pale aura coming out of the inside, clearly the remnants of psionic energy.
This means that we are beginning to approach the source of the spread of these mysterious psionic powers, and I instruct the others to keep an eye on the grass and trees in the vicinity, and to be mindful of their own body reactions.
Then I said to my brother, "Those Gu things you control...... Is it possible to be affected by strong psionic powers?"
Ge Guess didn't know about the anti-control power of psionic energy over Gu things, and asked me suspiciously why I said this.
"We all use unbreakable Gu spells to control Gu creatures, how can spiritual energy affect them?" Gochai asked suspiciously.
I want to remind my brother that when they attacked Wei Yuanhu's town before, didn't they encounter the experience of being controlled by me with psionic energy, but this exposed the fact that I had been their enemies before...... That's why I can't say anything.
But in this way, it shows that these Burmese people are completely unaware of the control of psionic energy, and they may not know that the real reason is actually the interference of psionic control when the crow flock is out of control before.
I hurriedly told Gochai that the control of those little black things was not necessarily complete, and that the rest of the Burmese had to be cheered up to deal with it.
But whatever you're afraid of, you'll come...... As soon as my conversation with Gochai ended, I heard a scream of a small black thing suddenly coming from the center of the excavation.
I've dealt with these little black things too many times, so I can still distinguish some of their general voice categories, and now this kind of cry clearly means anger.
I hurriedly jumped up and looked in the direction where the sound came from, just in time to see a few small black things with blue light flashing in their eyes, and then suddenly tore at the other companions around me.
Worst!
That energy actually worked again! And it was also making those Gu creatures kill each other!
I immediately asked the others around me to pay attention to my actions, but this time the psionic influence seemed to be limited to those Gu creatures, and had no effect on the others.
Soon, more little black things screamed one after another, and the affected Gu area also spread rapidly.
"Quick! everyone else is scattered!" I shouted to the people around me, telling them to stay out of the psionic area as much as possible.
At the same time, the sound of those Burmese people chanting Gu spells also increased a lot, but it was useless, the trend of those little black things killing each other was still intensifying, and in an instant, more than a dozen little black things were already disemboweled.
In order to avoid further casualties, I asked Gochai to order the other Burmese to temporarily relinquish control over these little black things......
As the chaos in the central excavation area intensified, the soil layer that had been dug through and loosened began to crumble further, and soon a large number of loitering corpses had previously died at the bottom of the underground layer.
Well......
This is not an ordinary corpse, but the kind that moves...... Gu thing!
It's a resurrected corpse!
This is the first time I have seen a living corpse in Dongkou Province, which shows the deep influence of spiritual energy here.
The movements of these resurrected corpses were not fast, but they were not slow, and they began to crawl upwards as the soil collapsed.
"Prepare for the defensive formation!" I ordered the people around me again, "Wait for my password before firing!"
All of them raised their gravel guns and aimed them at the central excavation area.
But it seems that I don't need to give orders to defend...... Because although the newly emerged resurrection corpses were relatively normal at first, as time passed, they soon fell to the ground and became stiff.
At the same time, the other little black things affected by the psionic energy also died one by one......
It didn't take long for calm to regain in the central area.
"These energies should only work on Gu matter. Gechai still said to me with a shocked expression: "It doesn't seem to have any effect on ordinary people." โ
"What do you mean...... What's next?" I asked.
Gechai nodded, looked at the other people around him and said, "But you can't use our people, you have to mobilize other people!"
Guess what this means is that he won't let his Burmese take any more risks, and if he wants to dig, let the bounty hunters and the Salvation Army people do it.
It seems that these Burmese people still don't think of us as their own, and now they are retreating from the difficulties.
But I can't say anything, after all, they have already lost a batch of Gu things, not to mention that these Burmese people didn't say that I should be their leader from the beginning, at most it is an alliance.
Luckily, the bounty hunters and the Salvation Army are both people who have seen big scenes, and the current psionic riots are not enough to scare them, but just in case, I have divided the people into two parts, one of which will approach the center and start a tentative excavation, and the others will be in the vicinity to defend the area.
Those strange psionic energy fluctuations did not reappear, so I further increased the number of people who were excavated, and finally Liu Yong and I joined in personally.
Half an hour later, we finally dug the bottom of the underground stronghold, and by now, we had almost uprooted the surrounding forests, and the original entrance to the tree hole had been hollowed out.
We found more loiterer corpses below, and it was clear that these loitering people had all been reincarnated to varying degrees after they died, but none of them lasted long.
I have a feeling that there is some kind of hidden spiritual energy here, but this source is obviously not a living super touching person like me, but more like the effect of the kind of psionic energy transmitter created by the moon spirit.
Seeing that the danger was temporarily gone, I asked the rest of the people to start looking inside for the location of the supplies, and at the same time to keep an eye out for any special devices for metal balls.
