Those people also have a high level of trust in me now, after all, it seems that the matter of saving Qin Yao can only be led by me now, and they have no other way but to obey my arrangement.
And more importantly, at this stage, the wanderers in the entire Life No. 2 need a person who temporarily replaces Qin Yao to lead their unified action, although I really want to "take over" directly, but I understand that the more impatient I am in this situation, the more it will backfire, and if I want these wanderers to obey me, I must come up with some "achievements".
And rescuing Qin Yao is undoubtedly an important bargaining chip to improve performance.
In the end, I decided to select two loitering people with organizational skills from among those members of Qin Yao's escort team to serve as the command and dispatch of Life II, and their task was mainly to assist our logistics line.
This logistics is not insignificant, on the contrary, it is even more important than the diversion of the Chinese army, because no one can guarantee how long the stalemate will last, and once it exceeds three days or more, the importance of supplies will skyrocket.
This is just like the transportation of grain and grass during the war in ancient times, without logistical supplies, even the most powerful troops are undoubtedly a piece of paper that can be broken at the first stab.
Not to mention......
We are now on the decidedly weak side, both with the wanderers and with the voodoo.
At least...... It seems to me that this is the case at the moment.
If you want to reverse the weak situation, you must optimize all the details as much as possible.
If possible, I plan to take advantage of the darkness to directly let the main force launch a harassing attack on the western part of the Qinhuai Mountains, and the "Einsatzgruppen" led by me will also take this opportunity to go deep into the mountains again to see if they can rescue Qin Yao.
Therefore, the issue of the selection of the Einsatzgruppen is very important, and the principle of "less but better" must be followed.
Needless to say, Duan Xiaoxiao will definitely go with me, because her cold ability is the biggest killer feature of our trip.
And because Gochai was in charge of the "ideological work" of the remaining Burmese on the side of Changqing Valley, as well as containing Liu Yong who stayed in the camp, he did not follow this time, so the heavy responsibility of exploring the traces along the way fell on Chenxi's shoulders, and he had to go.
In addition to "functional talents", I naturally need thug-level characters, He Yunsong and Amy can only go to one person, because the people in the front team still need people to lead, and in the end I decided to let He Yunsong stay and lead the people in the front team, Amy will follow me, after all, in terms of domination, He Yunsong is still stronger than Amy.
Except for Amy, Qin Yao's remaining members of the escort team were all with me, except for the two people who stayed in Life No. 2, and these people also included the escort team that had not gone to the Evergreen Valley before, so the total number of people actually increased, a total of twelve people.
Finally...... It seems that you have to count the cold freaks who followed Duan Xiaoxiao, these people still have about fifty people under the scattered losses along the way. However, I told Duan Xiaoxiao that when the official operation began later, we must keep these cold monsters as far away from our position as possible, because in this way, not only can they do the role of "demining" for us, but also serve as our eyes and ears.
This time, our intelligence investigation is much more simplified than before, first, we are already close at hand, and second, we have almost inquired about a lot of detailed information.
The only thing I need now is new changes that may arise in the near future, especially the question of voodoo movements.
Soon the bounty hunters who had probed the news came back one after another to report, and they said that there was no conflict in the entire eastern part of the Qinhuai Mountain Range at present, and the eastern direction was actually where we were now.
But at the southern end, the resistance front facing the first wave of voodoo offensive, the second wave of war has now been ignited, but it seems that it will be difficult for voodoo to cross the Qinhuai Mountains in the short term.
I couldn't help but start thinking about some more long-term issues, now, I have to consider the situation in case the voodoo completely exterminates the wanderers, although this possibility is not very large, but looking at the current situation, even if the voodoo religion cannot monopolize the province of Dongkou, it will occupy a place within the province for a long time in the foreseeable future, which means that in addition to dealing with the threat of the wanderers, I must now consider the problem of voodoo in addition to dealing with the threat of the wanderers.
Especially after I rescued Qin Yao, my next step was to leave Dongkou Province and return to our "Taoyuan Island", and during my absence, I had to find a way for others to jump in absolute safety.
I know much less about voodoo than I do about wanderers, and those voodoos often use tricks that I can't handle, so it's ...... I'd rather let the Wanderers win.
Unfortunately, I don't know where the scales of victory will fall.
But now I am determined that I can't help the wanderers, because if I want to save Qin Yao, I have to clash with Zhao Youkuang's people!
Now that the voodoo offensive has been launched for the second time, this can be regarded as a good opportunity given to us by God, and the night has fully fallen, and the reduction of vision can also form a great cover for us.
Without further ado, I immediately ordered the men of the Thousand Army, led by He Yunsong, to quickly launch a disruptive attack on the side peaks on the east side of the Qinhuai Mountain Range, and at the same time asked Duan Xiaoxiao to use the Cold Qi Strange Man to deliver a message to Lu Ming of the Chinese army, so that after receiving the order, his people would start their actions directly in all the places in the east that could be attacked, not to kill the enemy, but to attract as many wanderers as possible here.
The execution of my side was much better than I thought, and I thought that many people, especially the survivors, would definitely look like a group of stragglers, but they were quite capable of executing my orders, and I hardly saw any of them retreat.
In fact, it doesn't seem strange to think about it carefully, after all, even these survivors have crawled all the way, and they are also the human spirits of the human spirits, otherwise they would not have survived until now, not to mention, these survivors who followed us to participate in the action are themselves elite forces selected from many survivors.
Others, such as bounty hunters and the Salvation Army, are themselves high-quality combatants, so naturally they don't have to worry too much.
The execution was strong, and the time and place were on our side, so the initial containment operation went quite smoothly, and I could see with the naked eye that a large number of Wanderer defenses were beginning to pile up towards the eastern edge of the mountain range, and the large area within the mountain range was empty.
This is also the situation I want to see the most now, the southeast and southeast directions are held back by the voodoo and our people respectively, so that the wanderers themselves cannot distinguish a large number of people to stay in other places, this is the best time for our Einsatzgruppen to go out now!
I immediately led the twenty-man "elite squad" that had been prepared to quickly break through the gap in the loiterers' defenses, and when the other loiters did not react, I went straight into it in one breath to a depth of about two or three kilometers.
Then we encountered the first chill.
As I said before, in the entire Qinhuai Mountain Range, in addition to the Holy Maiden Peak that we have been to and the no-man's land not far from the headquarters, there are actually many places where there is cold air, and there are probably also semi-infected people who have been hidden in these places and have been changed by voodoo or Taoyuan Island people, as well as ...... Resentful spirits.
And this time it was the latter that appeared along with the cold......
This cold air was actually noticed by Duan Xiaoxiao long before we approached, and her sensitivity to cold air was indeed more than twice as high as mine, until Duan Xiaoxiao found the exact location of the cold air, and we approached the position of less than 100 meters away...... I just felt the chill a little.
Even in the cold zone of Dong Kou Province, these cold airs can bring people a more piercing feeling, not to mention that their emotional impact is still obvious, so as long as they reach the range of perception, it is still easy to detect.
And the value of Duan Xiaoxiao is that she can not only find the source of these cold gases, but also not be disturbed by any negative emotions, which is her biggest advantage.
Since we have already prepared in advance, everyone has responded to this sudden negative emotional feeling, at least no one has been "driven crazy" yet.
But I know that this kind of "calmness" will not last long, because the erosion of the cold qi on the human brain is not even controllable by Duan Xiaoxiao for the time being, so I temporarily let the other people stay in a safe range a hundred meters away from the source of the cold qi and wait, only Duan Xiaoxiao and I will take more than twenty cold strange people who were temporarily mobilized by Duan Xiaoxiao to investigate.
After all, time is pressing, and our main purpose is to save Qin Yao, so the order I gave to Duan Xiaoxiao was quite simple, that is, to absorb the cold qi here as soon as possible, and to either kill or subdue the people or other creatures affected by the cold qi hidden inside.
Duan Xiaoxiao was also very clear about this, and she understood it at a little bit, after she approached these cold qi, she collected all the cold qi in her body at an extremely exaggerated speed.
Or rather...... The cold flew into her body by itself.
And as the cold air died away, the resentful spirits that followed appeared one after another.
I originally thought that with Duan Xiaoxiao's ability, these monsters would definitely bow down in an instant, but to my surprise, they still attacked us as before.
The only difference is that because the cold qi was absorbed by Duan Xiaoxiao in advance, their own abilities have weakened a lot, and the impact of energy is like tickling to me.
And then ...... Duan Xiaoxiao told me a very disappointing news, that is, she couldn't control these things that I didn't know if they were humans or ghosts, because Duan Xiaoxiao couldn't establish any form of connection with them, let alone manipulate their behavior.
This means that my previous plan to form a "ghost army" has once again collapsed.
However, we are not for nothing, Duan Xiaoxiao said that she is now more and more aware of the subtle cold qi in the vicinity as the number of cold qi absorbed increases, which also indicates that her control over the cold freaks around her will be more thorough, and she thinks that with the strengthening of her own cold qi, the ability of those cold freaks controlled by her will also increase.
I think the probability of this is quite high, because if cold and psionic energy are analogous to the same type and different branches of energy, the "side effects" caused by them should also have a considerable degree of similarity.
Since a powerful spiritual energy like me can enhance the Gu strength of nearby Gu objects, then Duan Xiaoxiao should also be able to strengthen the abilities of those cold qi monsters.
This conjecture was soon confirmed in the ensuing skirmish, and as we crossed the small area where the cold weather had appeared, we immediately ran into a squad of wanderers rushing to the front line to support.
This kind of sporadic head-on conflict has long been in my plan, and my original plan was to let Qin Yao's familiar escorts come forward to greet them, and deal with them while lowering their vigilance, but before I could make a move, I saw a few cold geeks launch a surprise attack from the flanks of those people.
This time, I could clearly see that their movement speed was at least twice as strong as what I had seen in the Evergreen Valley, and I was surprised to find that in the process of their own actions, they could still connect some of the cold qi from Duan Xiaoxiao's body, as if Duan Xiaoxiao was "charging" them for a period of time.
In this way, the control of cold is more thorough and flexible than that of psionic energy......
After dealing with this team, we encountered several cold spots one after another on the way to the headquarters, and it was at this time that I began to realize that something was wrong, because I had not been here before, but why didn't I encounter these cold air at that time?
This can no longer be described as a coincidence, these cold spots are 100% new, and the timing of their appearance is precisely the time period when the voodoo attack is launched, and I can't help but start to suspect once again that these cold spots are related to voodoo.
However, the cold that appeared along the way was not only not a bad thing for us, but instead became a "gas station" to "recharge" the cold monsters......
