Chapter 646: Following the clues, we are enemies, not friends!
"Commander, look, this is the first strange place we have discovered!"
As Feng Long fiddled with the storage function in the tablet a few times, a picture with a dark background but barely enough to make out the general situation was displayed.
Taking a quick look, Sumo saw only a few neat Chinese characters on the top door number.
Armaments and weapons strategy library.
"This, taken literally, is most likely either a place where weapons are stored in the origin territory, or a room where they store war preparation supplies."
"And the protection of this room is so good. There is only one main entrance to enter. The other places are directly sealed with bricks and stones. There are eight guards at the door, which is enough to show the importance of this place."
"But the strange thing is, here!"
After saying that, Feng Long swiped the tablet to switch to the next picture.
After a few pulls to enlarge it, a clue instantly leaked out.
Taking advantage of the gaps in the duties of the eight guards, the small spotlight on the foreman's head was able to clearly capture the front of the arms depot.
The solid exterior wall, depending on its material and section, is at least two meters thick, making it extremely difficult to penetrate.
An iron door that was as tall as two people, emitting a silvery white light, basically blocked all outsiders from entering.
If you want to enter here without a key, unless you combine the inside and the outside, it is impossible to sneak in quietly.
But the strange thing is.
The hole where the key is inserted directly opposite the spotlight is now covered with a thick layer of plaster.
Judging from this level, no one has opened this door for at least half a month.
"If this is a weapon they use to store wartime weapons, it would be understandable if they haven't opened it for such a long time."
"but"
Continue scrolling to the next picture.
As Feng Long straightened the tablet and saw the picture on it clearly, Sumo began to look serious.
The adventurous mechanic's unique size and mobility are destined to find many breakthroughs that humans cannot see.
On the back side of this cage-like arsenal.
I don’t know if it’s the moisture-proof air exchange channel that was set up before, or the room vents that were set up.
There is a small window about 20 cm high and 10 cm long that leads directly to the interior.
On the outer edge of the window, I don’t know whether it’s because no living thing can get into such a small space, or because even if it gets in, it won’t be able to damage the material storage inside.
Above and below the entire window, in the early stages of construction, only three thumb-thick steel bars were left as protection to prevent some small creatures from getting in and damaging it.
This steel bar is not troublesome for humans. It only requires some small tools to pry back and forth to lose its rigidity and break easily.
For adventurous mechanics, it's even simpler.
With only a small amount of trouble, Feng Long controlled the Adventure Mechanic to successfully break through the obstacle and successfully drilled in along the passage.
From the very beginning to now, things seem to be going extremely smoothly.
However, the strange things have just begun from now on.
Feng Long continued to scroll to the next picture, revealing more than ten densely packed shelves with large boxes.
"When I first entered here, I thought I had sneaked into their lair, just in time to see what special weapons these guys used!"
"But this time."
Turning to the last photo of the arms depot, Feng Long showed a hint of shock.
"There's nothing in here at all?" Somo frowned after looking at it.
The box is very neat. Not only is the time when the items were put into storage written on it, but the quantity of each item is also listed in detail.
Starting from the most common pistol, it is equipped with three pistol bullets with different damage calibers.
Up to more advanced rifles and machine guns, the reserve of various types of bullets starts at 30,000.
Finally, there are conventional group combat weapons, grenades, timed C4, shoulder-resistant small RPG, single-player "Hydralisk" short-range anti-aircraft missiles, etc.
If they really take it out according to the marked inventory, they will definitely be able to arm a team of three hundred to five hundred people.
Moreover, this team is definitely armed to the teeth.
Even when facing a foreign race with thousands or tens of thousands of people, he doesn't show the slightest bit of weakness.
But it's a pity.
"No! Nothing at all!"
"Not even a pistol bullet can be seen!"
Feng Long shook his head: "I can't even confirm whether they put it in this box. Most of the boxes have good seals. After opening them, I found that what was inside was not weapons and ammunition at all, but some worthless items.
Stone"
"If there is no ghost, how can we say it?"
In the wasteland of the apocalypse.
When it comes to what is most important, the one that ranks first will always be force.
As the source of human force, these weapons of the civilized era are our greatest reliance.
As a large territory with more than 30,000 people, no matter how stupid the lord of this origin territory is, it is impossible for him not to pay attention to weapons.
But when the facts are in front of you, you can only feel a chill running through your body.
If at this time, a foreign race arrives at the gate of the origin territory.
Wait until all the guards are excited and want to come to the armory to get weapons and have a good fight with the opponent.
When I opened the box, I found it was a stone.
No need to think about it, everyone knows how desperate that scene is.
"Is it possible that someone from within has compromised the package?"
He raised a possibility and looked at Feng Long who just shook his head and said nothing.
Sumo's expression paused, and he began to vaguely connect clues based on this information in his mind.
First, the lord of the origin territory whom he had just met not long ago was not a mysterious man who came out of the ruins.
Even though he is walking like a dragon and a tiger, he looks like a very domineering and strong man.
But in fact, at first glance, Sumo found strong traces of "performance".
After all, being a lord and pretending to be a lord are two different things.
Even if the former is just walking on the road in an ordinary way, he doesn't show anything unusual. Just by his bearing and the feeling he gives people, he can still make people feel extraordinary.
But even if the latter shows his sharp edge throughout the whole process and almost writes the words "I am the boss" on his face, it will be difficult for him to pass the test of a discerning person.
Not to mention compared to a lord like Feng Mengyue who could flee thousands of miles with three thousand people, or a lord like Lu Yongyi who could fight ten thousand people in a naval battle without showing any fear.
Even compared with the two wretched Liu brothers, they are only between brothers.
This person is most likely just an external spokesperson for those who came out of the mysterious ruins.
Apart from enjoying some of the benefits of a lord, he is just an empty frame and has basically zero rights.
Second, after the new lord came to power, the Origin Territory issued a so-called currency in less than a week to replace the traditional barter-for-barter model.
All foreign travelers and caravans can still choose to use currency or materials.
But the locals living here cannot choose freely and are forced to get on the bus.
This kind of coercive measure is harmful to no purpose except that a large amount of materials can be recovered in official hands in a short period of time.
Sumo basically couldn't think of a second reason for doing this.
Third, all the weapons and equipment in the arsenal of the Origin Territory were inexplicably turned into stone.
Compared with the previous two points, this point is the most fatal.
Once an external battle does occur, judging from the fact that most of the guards are still armed with cold weapons, only a small number of people have guns.
As long as the opponent can withstand the first wave of shooting offensive, the defense of the origin territory will instantly collapse and become a perfect meal.
You don't even need the enemy to attack, as long as there is a riot within the origin territory.
When no weapons are available.
In a very short period of time, this seemingly flourishing order will be completely destroyed and reduced to rubbish.
And those seemingly valuable Origin Coins in everyone’s hands.
"etc."
After catching a key point, Su Mo stood up immediately with a look of horror on his face.
"What's wrong?" Feng Tianmin saw this and felt something bad.
"During your investigation yesterday, did you find a place where supplies are stored in the Origin Territory?"
"Storing supplies?" Guan Yu'an, who had been sitting silently, tilted his head and thought for a while, then used the tablet in his hand to cut out a photo by dividing it by three and five.
"After the curfew last night, I saw many people using this kind of hand-pulled cart to transport supplies outside the territory, but I don't know where they went specifically. This is the photo I took!"
In the photo.
It is a team of more than thirty ordinary people.
According to the configuration of one cart per person, the supplies on more than 30 carts can basically supply food and equipment for 2,000 people for a day.
Beside them, there were six guards whose faces were covered with black scarves.
It was dark at night, and because it was taken too far away, it was difficult for people to see clearly what the equipment was like through the photos.
But just looking at the appearance, it's not bad at all. It's obviously better than the guards guarding the door.
"Are you sure they took these supplies outside the territory?"
Guan Yu'an frowned: "When I saw it last night, I thought they were just transporting goods, and I didn't take it too seriously. But then when I explored other places, I saw someone eliminating these hand-drawn carts and passing by.
The ruts left behind"
"It was only then that I looked along the ruts, and I was basically sure that I was going all the way out through the small door on the west side of the origin territory. It was unlikely that I was going to other places."
The exchanged materials are collected at the origin territory center every day and will be taken to other places after the night curfew.
This doesn't seem to be a problem unless there are other exceptions.
But at this time, Sumo couldn't help but have a bold guess in his mind.
"You don't have to do anything tonight, and you don't have to worry about the people who are watching us."
"Just keep an eye on the movements of these people. By the way, Tianmin, you can arrange for two more people."
Realize the seriousness of the matter.
Soma no longer concealed himself, sat down again and began to talk about what he had seen and heard about the origin territory from morning to now.
From the origin currency, to the trading room, to the main peak restaurant, the new lord, and four markets.
After Su Mo finished speaking, he contacted the clues discovered last night. The three people's faces were not as calm as before.
Some, only endless horror remains.
"Director, this can't be true. This isn't thirty, three hundred, or three thousand. There are fucking thirty thousand people here!"
"How can this be a job that a person can do? If he does this, won't he be afraid that his ancestral graves will be dug up?"
Some thoughts.
Flashing through my mind was the miserable situation of a freezing cold day with a weather of minus 40 degrees Celsius. Everyone in this huge origin territory had nothing in their hands, only thin pieces of iron.
Feng Long was helpless and could only open his mouth, his expression extremely ugly.
"Don't make wild guesses now. There are still five days left before the big temperature drop. We still have enough time to investigate the response!"
"We'll discuss everything after the results come out!"
Waving his hands to disperse the slightest trace of anger rising in the hearts of the three of them, Somo's expression remained as usual and his eyes narrowed like a cheetah's.
Before leaving, Lu Kuan personally brought several people to him and told him about the disregard for life and the pursuit of power and power by the remnants of the Yan Kingdom.
At that time, although Sumo paid more attention to them, he never imagined that these people could be so cruel, bold, or even break through the bottom line of human beings.
But now, when more and more evidence is put in front of us.
In a sense, the monster beneath the water is already lurking up, waiting to devour anyone who dares to jump in to explore!
Time flies.
As the sun sets and the moon rises, the nine o'clock curfew bell rings on time.
Inside Sanyuan Hotel.
Feng Long, Feng Tianmin, and Guan Yu'an had already prepared everything. They could only set off quickly when the time was right to investigate the truth of the matter.
Somo himself was still sitting by the window.
In front of the weak candlelight, I casually flipped through the information in my hand.
Everything written on it is written with washable ink, so it can be easily smeared and erased at will.
This is the result of more than thirty soldiers who went out to investigate during the day.
"Is this all you found?"
More than thirty people investigated for a day, and all they found was only superficial.
Not to mention the news about this new lord, even the battle that happened two months ago has not been fully investigated.
The only good thing is that we have collected a lot of information about Marshal Wang.
"It's strange. Marshal Wang is so brave. He actually dares to lead our people to quietly avenge himself. I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug Lao Liu and the others were given. They really agreed to do this.
Dry"
"But it's really outrageous. Only a dozen people were able to kill the lords of three mountain peaks surrounded by thousands of people."
Su Mo put down the information in his hand and looked surprised.
"Director, these information are all collected from the hands of bounty hunters inside the origin territory. When it comes to their familiarity with Marshal Wang's whereabouts, they dare to say that they are second. No one in this territory dares to say that they are first." Du Shi sank behind him.
vocal tract.
After Feng Long and Feng Tianmin had independent missions.
As the vice-captain, he had to take the lead and personally lead the troops out to explore the intelligence.
Needless to say, this is a tough test.
But Du Shi himself also knew that if he could pass, after returning to the territory, his current small position would probably rise rapidly.
Therefore, after just one day of intelligence exploration, he directly aimed at the completely opposite path from Feng Long and others.
Looking for Marshal Wang!
"Can't I contact Marshal Wang now using the radio?"
Du Shi shook his head: "We can't contact them. The last time someone found their traces was nine days ago. After that, they disappeared without a trace, just like those who offended the new lord of the origin territory.
I don’t know where they went.”
"Had it not been for the reward notice still hanging at the door, telling everyone that Marshal Wang has not been caught yet, most of the bounty hunters would have given up on hunting him!"
In the past, as long as someone was secretly punished, the reward order would be removed by the Origin Territory officials the next day.
To tell everyone that the other party has surrendered.
But this time, Marshal Wang's reward order is still there, which can basically explain some situations.
"Well done. Marshal Wang must know more things that we don't know. If we find him, maybe we can eliminate most of our doubts now."
"Keep searching. As long as you can find it, you will be credited!" Sumo agreed, and then said: "Remember, don't conflict with anyone in this territory now. Everything will wait until our investigation is completed.
