Dr. Chen heard Zhang Fang's question and asked him: "Why do you think the people who control this place are companies in the federation? You have also seen that this rainforest is rich in products and the living conditions are much higher than outside.

If someone controls this place, their environment will be much better than outside the Federation, so why bother living in the bitter cold outside?"

It was hard for Ning Zhe to imagine that Jin Qinhuan, the devil's land in the eyes of the outside world, could be such a paradise as Dr. Chen said. After thinking about it, he still felt that this matter was not very reliable: "Dr. Chen, what are you talking about here?

Is there any basis for someone’s life?”

"There is no basis, it's just a speculation!" Dr. Chen shook his head: "I just think that the environment in the Jinqinhuan area cannot be achieved by relying on nature. Everything here seems to be artificially planned! The misty forest is just

The outermost edge of this large ecological circle can also be understood as the defense layer! As for whether our current position is the core of Jinqinhuan or the inner defense layer, we don’t know.”

"I think this statement is somewhat untenable." Ren Jiao thought for a moment: "If there are really humans living here, their defense measures seem to be too primitive. How can a force that can even control radiation be possible?

How about relying solely on woods for defense? Even if they can disorient people through magnetic fields, this method is not a foolproof strategy. If they do not eliminate the invading enemy, they will definitely be exposed! This goes against the common sense of defense!"

Dr. Chen shook his head: "I don't understand military matters, but I feel here that there is indeed the possibility of human traces being involved. Without scientific control, it is absolutely impossible for this place not to be contaminated by radiation."

"I think this should be a coincidence. The chaebol has never given up on exploring the Jinqinhuan. If there is something weird here, I am afraid the chaebol will know it better than us. It is impossible that no news has been spread!

"Ren Jiao sneered at Dr. Chen's statement: "If these people really have such high technical means and can expand outward, how could they hide in a place like Jinqinhuan! How could Lu allow a person to exist behind him?

Such a terrifying power!"

Dr. Chen refuted: "It was precisely because this place was too scary that Lu gave up exploring it, right? Don't forget, not one of Lu's people got out alive!"

"That's enough! Don't forget the environment you are in. Under such circumstances, it is meaningless for us to argue here!" Ning Zhe interrupted the conversation between the two: "Jin Qinhuan is a place where

It’s weird, our understanding of this place is basically zero, it’s meaningless for us to speculate here. What everyone should be most concerned about is how to find Zhou Gong or leave this place.”

After hearing Ning Zhe's words, Dr. Chen fell silent again. They were now trapped in this dense forest. Everyone's first priority was to find a way out, and these rough guys didn't seem to have any interest in his hypothesis.

.

The campsite hangs on the top of the hill, and there is a circle of sharpened wooden stakes around it. In order to prevent it from being discovered in time when a wild beast attacks, the people did not set up a tent, but just made a frame with wood and spread it on top.

Cover the leaves to prevent mosquitoes and birds from attacking.

Of the remaining eight people in the team, Dr. Chen does not need to be on night watch. There is still a soldier who is responsible for personal protection of his safety, and the rest take turns keeping watch in pairs.

A day's march made everyone exhausted, so Ning Zhe and Zhang Fang took the initiative to take charge of the first shift.

Beside the beating bonfire, Zhang Fang put his hand on his rifle, listening to the sound of Lin Tao coming from the darkness ahead, and asked Ning Zhe: "What do you think about what Dr. Chen just said?"

"I think it's unlikely. According to Dr. Chen, even if there are people living here, it's impossible for thousands of people from the chaebol army to disappear without a trace. Even if people from outside can't get in, people inside can always get out.

Right? If there are really people living in Jinqinhuan, even if there is no official confirmation, there should at least be folklore, but according to the information we have, this place is a dead place."

Ning Zhe shrugged slightly: "Since we entered the Jinqinhuan area, we have never found any trace of anyone living here, and there are no facilities such as surveillance. Even if the people inside want to defend themselves, at least they have to

Do you know first that we have entered this jungle?"

"Dr. Chen's words made me feel a little awkward. They said before that this place was haunted, but I didn't feel anything at all because I knew that the rumors about ghosts and gods were all false. But when he said that there were people here, I felt..." Zhang

Fang pouted and said, "You know, humans are the most terrifying animals in the world."

Ning Zhe smiled: "It would be great if there were people here. If this place is really being manipulated, we can at least find the loopholes."

Zhang Fang also laughed: "Thousands of people in the chaebol have not been able to find a flaw. Do you think we can do it with just a few of us?"

"Human, the more desperate you are, the more you should give yourself hope! We are already trapped. If I continue to take advantage of the situation at this time, I will be in trouble with myself." Ning Zhe took a few sticks.

Throwing branches into the bonfire: "Since entering the Jinqin Ring, the biggest threat we have encountered is the locust swarm, but there are no traces of other people being attacked there! In other words, those who entered the jungle in advance should have encountered the same thing as us.

So it’s very possible that Zhou Gong is still alive!”

"What can we do if we are alive?" Zhang Fang sighed, glanced at the shack where Dr. Chen lived from a distance, and whispered: "Now we are all trapped here and can't get out. Without Zhou Gong's whereabouts,

Looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I think the task level should be adjusted to put escape first."

"The problem now is that we have no sense of direction at all in this jungle. I used to rely on the sun to identify the direction and never made any mistakes. This place is really evil." Ning Zhe looked at the dark woods and sighed: "Now

It’s not that we don’t want to leave, we’re just afraid that we won’t be able to leave even if we want to! Let’s look for another day tomorrow! If we still can’t find it, we really have to evacuate!”

Seeing that Ning Zhe decided to stay one more day, Zhang Fang asked sideways, "Do you have any ideas?"

Ning Zhe nodded and said: "If Zhou Gong and the others are still alive, they will definitely provide supplies. Although we are lost today, it is difficult to go too far with human power. Let's search the surrounding water sources as soon as possible tomorrow. If we still can't find them,
