Chapter 1017 - No Breathing
The whole book, the fastest update and the latest chapter of the school flower desert island survival day!
Naturally, Zhao Tian and He Yunsong will still act with me.
This reconnaissance attack is somewhat similar to the situation of our second reconnaissance of Wei Yuanhu's town, except that the scale of this attack is much larger than the former.
I know very well that the game between these two groups will not end so easily, and I am afraid that after we left, the battle in Nine Rivers City not only did not end quickly, but lasted even longer.
However, things turned out to be a little more exaggerated than I thought, because when we returned to Nine Rivers again, we were surprised to find that the fighting here had continued since we left.
Two days!
It's no wonder that we didn't encounter any obstacles in the previous migration process, it turns out that the personnel of both sides have mobilized heavy troops to Jiuhe City.
The scale of the current war is at least five or six times larger than before, and originally only the interior of Jiuhe City was in a state of firefighting, but now the battle line has long since started from Jiuhe City and has spread along the west to the border area of Dongkou Province, and it feels that this battle has mobilized the elite fighting forces of both sides.
However, Zhao Tian said that this was far from the true level of the loiterers, at best, the camp personnel who were closer to the border were mobilized here, but even so, the scale of such a battle was unprecedented, even in the area of Xiangning City, where the conflict between the loitering and the Blue Bird Company was the most serious, they had not mobilized so many people to participate in the battle.
"Have you ever had a conflict with these Burmese before?" I asked, puzzled, "otherwise how could they be so mad?"
Zhao Tian immediately shook his head: "Impossible, we have very little contact with these Burmese, and there is no major conflict between them, even if a few people have collided with their interests, it is impossible to make such a big move." I think...... These Burmese may not be able to stay in their own territory anymore, and they are also targeting Dongkou Province, where the Gu worm virus cannot survive, in order to completely wipe out the wanderers. ”
I didn't expect this Zhao Tian to go with me, but I don't think it's that simple, because even if the Burmese are going to enter Dongkou Province, then why don't they have a peace negotiation with the wanderers first? If possible, they can enter without a single soldier, or ...... They had already negotiated without our knowledge, and the talks collapsed?
I don't think it's very likely, because if these two people really have contact, whether it is Mr. Qin, Liu Yong, or even Zhao Tian, they will hear the sound of the phoenix.
What's more, when I entered Nine Rivers City before and talked to the other wanderers, especially with Qi Fang, I didn't see any signs of this.
So, I think it's most likely that the Burmese consider the wanderers to be a great potential danger to those who don't have sound minds, and that they must be wiped out, and the few remaining right-thinking wanderers are included in the erasure list.
Now the most important thing I want to know is how big these Burmese are and how they have come here.
If they really came up by "digging tunnels", I don't think such tunnels could have been dug directly from Myanmar, and with that kind of work, even if there were hundreds of little black things working for them, it would take a long time.
Coupled with the fact that the Burmese first appeared on the border of Dong Kou Province, I think it is likely that they were a large force that first advanced to a certain point near Dong Kou Province and then began to excavate underground from this site until the current surprise attack.
This speculation was quickly agreed by Zhao Tian, who also said that it was impossible for the Burmese to approach the territory of the wanderers from the ground, and that the only possibility for such a surprise attack to be met was an underground raid.
For the current large-scale firefight, no matter how much we probe, it is impossible to understand the whole thing, so we can only pick up the most critical parts, and we still have to focus on observing the battle situation in Jiuhe City, especially the question of who has the upper hand.
Originally, I thought that it would be very difficult to approach Jiuhe City, but in fact, the difficulty is more than one notch lower than before, because of the war, there is no one to patrol the surrounding terrain safely, but the extreme chaos makes us feel like no one is in the battlefield.
Of course, this is also relative, because we always pick up areas where the fighting is not fierce, and we have the support of the veterans of the White Nights, so we can deal with a small group of enemies, whether they are Burmese or wanderers, and we can divide them by two.
Anyway, all the people we're meeting now aren't our own people, so there's no need to be merciful to these guys.
Zhao Tian's combat skills have been further reflected in these skirmishes, and I found that I may have really underestimated him before, although this person's physique belongs to the category of normal people, but when fighting in close combat, even if he encounters a super touching person, he will not fall too far behind, but can also cripple or even kill the opponent in the process of maneuvering.
If you add this Zhao Tian's tactical leadership ability, he is indeed a "general", but this product has a very fatal flaw, that is, loyalty is not enough, I dare not entrust the big task to him at all.
Even He Yunsong whispered that Zhao Tian has great potential, in fact, in our current lack of talents, if we can find a way to let Zhao Tian work for us, it is also a reliable way.
However, it is not easy to achieve and confirm this, after all, Zhao Tian has betrayed me twice in a row.
We dodged all the way, and soon arrived at the frontal canyon where we had entered and exited before, only to see that there were already corpses all over here, but the corpses of humans were only a very few, and the vast majority of them were corpses of various Gu things.
It seems that the Burmese later brought in a terrifying number of Gu creatures, but a large part of them were wiped out by the Wanderer garrison.
At least judging from the situation we have been going through all the way, the two sides have not yet distinguished the high and low, which is a bit of a lose-lose situation, and this is the situation I would like to see the most.
We waited at the entrance of the canyon for a long time and didn't see any noise coming from inside, and finally I asked He Yunsong to take a step forward to investigate the situation, and he came back and told me that the canyon can only go deep for five or six kilometers at most, and if you go further, there will be a very pungent smell, which he can't stand at all, and he will even feel difficult to breathe after a long time.
My first reaction was that the Burmese attacked Jiuhe City with some kind of poisonous gas, but when I connected it to the Gu corpses at the mouth of the valley, I felt that they were killed by these "poisonous gases".
The Burmese people are not stupid enough to let their Gu creatures die, right?
In addition, I am also very curious about this kind of aura, the breath I know so far are psionic energy, cold qi, and various colors of aura, as well as the third mysterious aura that I have recently discovered, but none of these auras have the characteristics that He Yunsong just mentioned.
He said the breath was suffocating him...... My curiosity was quickly piqued.
I asked He Yunsong, Zhao Tian, and Bai Ye to guard the valley mouth, and I followed the position He Yunsong just said towards the valley mouth quickly.
There are even more corpses in the valley, it is true that most of them are the corpses of various Gu things, and it is rare to see human bodies, and the further I go inside, the more I find that the corpses of these Gu things seem to be a little strange, they seem to have almost all died at the same time in a short period of time, it seems that the culprit is very likely to be that mysterious aura.
Soon I arrived at the approximate distance he Yunsong said, but I couldn't smell anything here except the smell of corpses, and then I continued to move forward for about two or three kilometers, and at this time I was almost close to the inner area of Jiuhe City, that is, at this time, I suddenly felt a numbness in my nose, like a peppercorn material that had been stuffed in my nose, and then I felt a spicy sensation in my eyes, and tears flowed out.
......
I was afraid that my eyes would be blinded, so I hurriedly wanted to retreat, but at this time, I found that my adaptability to these breaths was gradually strengthening, and in less than ten seconds, the strange discomfort I had just now began to recede one after another.
I stayed for a while with the mentality of experimentation, and when I was sure that I was okay, I began to walk towards the city.
There is no need to hide now, because the entire city of Nine Rivers has long been a dead city, and from here, the corpses of the wanderers begin to rise in a ladder, and the further they go in the direction of the city hall, the more corpses will be.
But even so, I can be sure that not all the wanderers died here, Mr. Qin had already told me that there are many secret passages in and around Jiuhe City, and even if they are surrounded by "poisonous gas", someone will definitely be able to slip through the escape route.
But what I'm concerned about now is not how many of them survived, but what the gas was.
First of all, the origin of this "poisonous gas" is a bit confusing, because I feel that this kind of breath is more like a sudden appearance, which caught the Burmese and the wanderers off guard, which is why the current tragic situation inside and outside Jiuhe City.
Secondly, how did this "poisonous gas" come about? I can now feel the types of this kind of breath, they have neither the roughness of the aura, nor the delicate sensation of psionic energy or cold, and if I had to describe this kind of aura, I would prefer to think that it is similar to the feeling of being lifted into the air and then inhaled by someone.
Finally, there is the harmfulness of these "poisonous gases", although I seem to be temporarily immune to them, it does not mean that all people can, He Yunsong is a very significant example. I can't help but wonder if this is a special ability of mine, just like using psionic energy in the cold zone, or is it a "privilege"?
I didn't want to, nor did I dare to stay too much in Nine Rivers, so I quickly withdrew when I found out what was going on.
Just like when he went in, he didn't encounter any hostile forces when he came out, and even at the intersection where He Yunsong, Zhao Tian, and Bai Ye were guarded, no one else passed by.
When I came out, I just wanted to tell everyone about the situation inside, but the first reaction of the big guy when he saw me was to point to my eyes and look frightened.
He Yunsong brought me half a mirror for me to look at, and I was horrified to find that my eyes had now turned completely blue.
The blue light that used to appear only in a state of total darkness, or when my body began to actively operate spiritual energy, has now naturally been revealed, and the intensity of this blue light has deepened a lot compared to before, and it is also ...... It's a lot purer.
You must know that the blue light in the eyes of the moon spirit is a pure and clear blue, and the purity of my color at this time is also moving in this direction.
This makes me wonder if it's because as the psionic energy grows, so does the purity of the color.
None of the others had much experience with the blue light in their eyes, and now it was normal to suddenly see me in this situation, and although I wasn't completely sure of it, I told them it wasn't a big deal.
Now that the situation in the vicinity of Nine Rivers has been figured out, I think that most of our migration party should be able to reach the selected sewer address without our attack, so I plan to evacuate with the others.
But just as we were about to leave, a group of Burmese suddenly appeared and stopped us.
They didn't encircle us, not because they weren't outnumbered, but because they didn't seem to have the intention of doing so in the first place.
We immediately raised our gravel guns to meet us, but neither of us fired first, after all, we had very few conflicts with these Burmese, and we were not as incompatible as the Wanderers and the Salvation Army.
Plus these Burmese can now contain the power of the wanderers, so I don't want to fight them.
To my surprise, the Burmese also made peace, raising their hands to show that they had no ill intentions, and then I heard one of the men standing at the front of them speak.
This is actually a Burmese who can speak Chinese, although he speaks a slightly broken Chinese, but we can still understand it easily.
The Burmese man with pigtails and strange tattoos on his face, with the smell of the natives of the old woods, pointed to my location and asked, "Are you......?" Why aren't you afraid of the anger in Nine Rivers City?"
I frowned, he actually mentioned anger, could it be that he was talking about those things that make it difficult for ordinary people to breathe?
Besides, these people already know my whereabouts!
