As the builder and manager of the camp, Li Wu has relatively absolute dominance.
But if he did what Chen Ziyan said, it would mean that he would give up this power to others, which would be an extremely disadvantageous thing for Li Wu.
Facing everyone's gaze, Li Wu's expression was a little uncertain. He was now facing a very difficult choice.
On the one hand, it is the mission that one has to shoulder, and on the other hand, it is the initiative of this action.
It was obvious that the two could no longer coexist, and he needed to make a decision.
Chen Ziyan did not rush to urge him, he just looked at Li Wu calmly and waited quietly for the other party's reply.
This was a countermeasure he came up with on the way here. The successive changes at the camp meant that the plan he had originally made was no longer applicable and had to be changed. But he didn't want to play a trick of making excuses, so
Just thought of this method.
Seize power!
If we can expel all those people with ulterior motives and completely control everything here, not only will our own safety be more guaranteed, but it will also be helpful for what we need to do.
Li Wu seemed to be thinking, but his eyes were calmly looking at the others. Yingzi, who was followed by Chen Ziyan, was the first to be eliminated by him, so the person he mainly paid attention to was Wu Laogou.
Although Wu Laogou seems to be much weaker than Chen Ziyan in terms of card strength, Li Wu does not think that Chen Ziyan can really easily handle this person who can become famous in such a turbulent situation.
, but we can’t just take it superficially.
If Wu Laogou, the head of the Nine Sects, could stand on his side, Li Wu was confident that even if everyone else in the camp left, he would still be able to create a situation where he and Chen Ziyan were on equal footing.
In the final analysis, he has a nominal advantage and a congenital advantage.
It's a pity that Li Wu glanced at Wu Laogou, but he couldn't get the slightest response. It was not the first day for everyone to hang out, so it was self-evident what this meant.
Wu Laogou didn't want to get too involved with him, or it could be said that the other party didn't want to confront Chen Ziyan.
"Mr. Chen, it's not okay to repatriate all the people. Many of our staff have tasks. They need to collect geological data and figure out the cause of the accident here. Those instruments need to be operated by professionals."
Li Wu, who failed to realize his plan, decided to give in only one step.
He couldn't allow himself to become a polished commander, that would be too detrimental to him.
However, he also knew that since Chen Ziyan had spoken, this matter could not be solved by just making a haha. He had to give an explanation, otherwise he could get up and leave.
After all, he is the one asking for help now!
"That's okay, then just do as Manager Li said." Chen Ziyan thought for a while, nodded and agreed.
He wanted to eliminate everyone directly, but he also knew that Li Wu was not a fool, so his initial purpose was to get rid of the strange people who came to support him. As for the staff of the administration, he could keep them for the time being.
.
Although he didn't stay too long in this camp, according to his observation, the staff were mainly support staff, and not many could really participate in the exploration.
And the most important point is that Chen Ziyan never put the Folklore Affairs Administration in an opposing position from beginning to end.
As long as those people with unknown identities are removed, there will not be many people in the camp who can go out. Although it seems that Li Wu still has the manpower to compete with him, in fact, the entire camp is already under his control.
.
Power is never a label on the surface, but the power in the hand. Chen Ziyan has always had a clear understanding of this.
On the surface, there is a group of dogs led by Yingzi, but secretly, Huangpizi is led by Xiaoxiangu. In terms of power, he has unshakable dominance.
So now that he can get this result, Chen Ziyan is very satisfied.
If it hadn't been for the two attacks last night and just now, he wouldn't have been able to achieve his goal so easily. He might still be in his small camp now, waiting for people with ulterior motives to fall into his trap.
Li Wu was also a decisive character. After making the decision, he no longer hesitated. In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, he immediately sent people to help Chen Ziyan move and got them into the camp first before talking about anything else.
Chen Ziyan did not refuse this, and asked Yingzi to wait at the camp, then took a few people back to his camp to get things.
Not long after Chen Ziyan moved the things over, Wu Laogou came to the door and explained his purpose straight to the point:
"Little friend Chen, I have discussed it with Manager Li, and I think we can go and explore the snake cave now. What do you think, little friend?"
Chen Ziyan, who was taking things out of his bag, subconsciously looked at Wu Laogou at the door: "Go to the Snake Cave now?"
He knew that Li Wu had already sent gifts back to those who came to help in the camp while he was getting things. He thought that he would strengthen the defense of the camp first, but he did not expect that he would want to investigate.
Snake Mine.
Wu Laogou said with a smile: "Yes, although Nephew is no longer a threat, it is very difficult to get rid of, so it is better to complete the task assigned above earlier."
Chen Ziyan nodded clearly, indicating that he understood.
This is reasonable. Nephew Li is so mysterious that it is impossible for him and Wu Laogou to catch that thing. Li Wu is probably feeling very uncomfortable with this situation now, and he definitely wants to call it a day and return home as soon as possible.
"Yingzi, you stay in the camp, I will follow Fifth Master to take a look." After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan said to Yingzi.
"Okay." Yingzi nodded and responded.
She now knows the position Chen Ziyan has arranged for her, and knows that she needs to stay behind in this situation.
"Master Chen, don't you bring a dog with you?" After the meeting, Li Wu looked at Chen Ziyan, who was followed only by two puppet armors, and asked with some confusion.
Although he knew that Chen Ziyan himself was not simple, under the influence of preconceptions, he still subconsciously thought that part of his fighting power came from those fierce dogs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Laogou was also curious and waiting for the answer. He actually wanted to ask on the way, but he thought that Li Wu would also ask, so he suppressed his doubts until now.
Chen Ziyan smiled and said: "No need to bring them, they are needed more in the camp."
Hearing what he said, Li Wu hesitated a little and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
He guessed that it might be because this time he was just exploring the outside of the snake cave, so Chen Ziyan didn't want to use too much force.
Wu Laogou, on the other hand, took a deep look at Wushuanggui and Huahu, who had been following Chen Ziyan silently.
He had a different idea from Li Wu. He did not think that Chen Ziyan did not bring those dogs because his actions were not dangerous, but that he might have brought enough power to deal with all dangers.
Unlike Li Wu, a layman, Wu Laogou saw clearly that those giant mastiffs and fierce dogs only obeyed Yingzi's orders, and Chen Ziyan himself had no way to directly control them.
So based on the current situation, it means that Chen Ziyan, the leader of Xieling, really only brought the two people behind him this time.
However, he did not express his guess, but focused on the two puppets intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Ziyan brought two puppet armors, Wu Laogou brought his own dog, and Li Wu brought a team of his subordinates who went out to work. More than twenty people and a dozen dogs made up the team for this exploration operation.
Under the leadership of Li Wu and others, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the Snake Cave.
As expected by Chen Ziyan, the location of the Snake Cave was not far from the camp, in the valley next to it.
"Is this where the Snake Cave is?" Wu Laogou comforted the wary Xiu Dog in his arms and looked at Li Wu and asked.
"Yes, Master Wu, the entrance to the Snake Cave is right in front." Li Wu nodded.
Then he winked at the men beside him, and one of them walked forward. After groping on the ground for a while, he directly lifted the piece of turf from the ground.
Not to mention Wu Laogou, who had no previous knowledge of the situation here, even Chen Ziyan, who had expected it, was very surprised after seeing this operation.
It's rare to see someone using the original terrain as a cover-up, but it's not that rare either, especially for people in their field. They can be said to be the most people they've seen, but it's the first time they've seen one that's completely integrated into nature like this.
The entrance was only two or three meters away from them, but at such a close distance, they didn't see any clues, which was enough to explain the problem.
“What a craft!”
After a short silence, Wu Laogou was the first to express his emotion.
The real details are evident. Even though it is just an entrance, it is enough to show the strength of the builder.
Chen Ziyan also nodded. From this, we can see how deep the foundation of the Folklore Affairs Administration is.
"Please, you two." Li Wu didn't say much, but walked directly to the entrance and made an invitation gesture to the two of them.
After Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou looked at each other, Chen Ziyan walked in first.
He originally thought it would be dark inside, but after entering, Chen Ziyan discovered that there was electricity inside.
And the space is larger than expected. It is a downward-sloping space, with an area as big as a football field. This space is very simple, both the floor and the walls are made of the simplest cement surface.
Chen Ziyan also discovered that the entrance they came in from was not, strictly speaking, the entire entrance. It could only be said to be a door for people to pass through. There was a larger door outside this door. It seemed that it was very easy to pass a car.
matter.
"It seems that this place is under control. There should be no problems, right?" Chen Ziyan glanced at the environment here and looked at Li Wu and asked.
Although this place looks simple, it is obviously a sealed space. Not to mention a few black-haired snakes waking up, even if the snakes below start to riot, they can still be stopped.
Li Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Master Chen doesn't know something. All threats can indeed be stopped here, but the situation below is far more complicated than it seems."
While talking, he led several people to a door on the side. When the door opened, Chen Ziyan realized that it turned out to be an elevator.
"Master Chen, Master Fifth, I can't tell you the specific situation at the moment. You two should come with me to have a look."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked in.
Chen Ziyan glanced at the elevator and followed it in. This elevator was far more special than the conventional ones on the market. With so many people and dogs, they were able to send them all down at once.
Chen Ziyan glanced at the elevator and guessed that it was used to transport some heavier objects.
The elevator ran very slowly, and it took five minutes before it slowly stopped.
When the elevator door opened again, what appeared in front of everyone was a more empty underground space, but only the ground here was cement, and the rest was the most primitive soil.
The most eye-catching thing here is a circular hole located in the center. The hole must be at least ten meters in diameter. There is also a crane set up next to it, which looks almost like a mine.
Seeing this scene, Wu Laogou finally understood why Chen Ziyan said this was a snake mine before.
Not paying attention to the things in the rooms next to him, Chen Ziyan went straight to the round hole and looked inside with the help of a flashlight.
But to his disappointment, the light of the flashlight could not reach the bottom of the round hole at all, and he could only see the extremely smooth carved wall.
"You two should have seen it. We just found a way to the snake cave, but it doesn't mean that the entire snake cave is under control." Li Wu came to the round cave and said softly.
Wu Laogou said thoughtfully: "In other words, you can only block this one exit you dug yourself, but you can't control the snake below to exit from other locations?"
He probably understood what Li Wu meant, but he couldn't figure out how to deal with this problem.
This is simply an unsolvable problem!
From the size of the round hole in front of him, it was difficult for him to imagine how big the snake cave below was. This was beyond human control.
Li Wu nodded: "Yes, there is no way to control it here. We have been trying to find ways to keep the snakes below sleeping, but now those strange snakes are showing signs of waking up."
He told the crux of the problem.
Chen Ziyan thought for a while and asked: "So our purpose this time is to find out the reason why the snake below has awakened, right?"
This is not a difficult question to guess.
Since we can't cure the root cause, we can only treat the symptoms.
But there is one thing that Chen Ziyan is very curious about, and that is how Wu Laogou solved the problem here in the original plot.
Even as a person who knows many secrets, he feels a little helpless when faced with this situation. It is really hard to imagine how Wu Laogou found the problem and solved it satisfactorily in the original plot.
But what Chen Ziyan didn't know was that Wu Laogou had actually backed down at this moment. The purpose of coming here was to prove his alibi, not to fall into a more troublesome whirlpool.
And the feeling he gave him here was no less troublesome than the trouble at home.
