Zhang Yang not only taught Wright how to wake up Sean and Mike as soon as possible, but also taught him a set of soul-searching secrets obtained from the Gourd of Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, under the soul-searching technique, the origins of the three ascetics soon surfaced.
Although these memories are not particularly clear because they are just memory fragments after the soul was shattered, Zhang Yang was able to barely understand the truth with the help of some relevant information.
What he never expected was that these three ascetics were not ascetics from Nepal as he initially thought.
In fact, they are out-and-out Chinese citizens from Seda Buddhist Academy, a famous Buddhist holy place in the Western Shu region!
Since Seda Buddhist Academy is an open Buddhist holy place with great influence, the composition of its personnel is very complex, and it is impossible to determine what kind of organization they come from.
Their behind-the-scenes instigators can be described as sophisticated, and they actually placed an extremely clever mental restraint on them.
When they suffer mental invasion, this mental restriction will be activated immediately, destroying some of their important memories.
However, the other party obviously underestimated Zhang Yang's ability in soul control.
Although his current strength has only returned to the first level of the Nine Yang True Art, Red Flame Fierce Sun, the ancient inheritance obtained from the Gourd of Heaven and Earth contains many methods on spiritual power.
It just so happened that Wright's mental power had reached the level of major general due to some strange combination of circumstances, and he was able to initially use a soul control technique called Nine Turns Soul Control.
With the help of this secret technique, the remaining memory fragments in the minds of these three ascetics were successfully read.
Although Wright still cannot completely repair these memories with his current strength, a large amount of useful information can still be obtained from these fragmented memory fragments.
Coupled with some recent events as evidence, Zhang Yang can at least confirm that this force does come from China.
Moreover, he also vaguely guessed that even if this mysterious force was not directly related to the force that Song Feixue belonged to, at least they should have very similar purposes to each other.
Or, Seinfeld and they all know each other's existence.
Gurung and others who failed in their operation eventually became the victims.
Once the spiritual restrictions in their bodies were activated, their souls were immediately destroyed.
Having lost their souls, they turned directly into unconscious walking zombies.
Originally, Zhang Yang planned to let these ascetics serve as Wright's physical puppets, but after thinking about it, he decided to deal with them once and for all.
After all, although these ascetics have other purposes, they are still foreign aid invited by the federal high-level officials, and they are volunteers from China.
Therefore, no matter what the considerations are, the most appropriate way is undoubtedly to let them "die on the battlefield" directly, so that both sides can explain the past.
So, under Zhang Yang's instruction, with the full cooperation of Nicole, Bill and others, and under Wright's careful control, the three ascetics fought a thrilling and heroic bloody battle with a group of bullet ants they encountered by chance.
The recorders on the three armored vehicles clearly recorded from different angles that Bill, Alex and others took turns to rescue. However, because the three of them stubbornly wanted to annihilate the surging ant colony, the three of them were heroic.
Die in battle.
In the end, although Zhang Yang risked his life and regained the bodies of the three people in the ant colony, their bodies were already mangled with blood and flesh, and they could not be saved, so he died heroically.
Then, their unyielding bodies were turned into dust in the raging fire.
A tombstone for three people and an inscription engraved in two languages have become a permanent memorial in this wilderness.
Although these images cannot deceive their masterminds at all, not even those at the top of the federation, there is at least an explanation.
Moreover, Zhang Yang is also very confident that although their behind-the-scenes instigator is unhappy, he will not reveal it.
Come to think of it, they don't want anyone to know their existence anyway.
At least for now, they are absolutely unwilling to be exposed to the sun.
And those guys at the top of the federation are all very smart, and they are even less willing to cause trouble again with this bone-crunching eye.
The person involved has been so honest and given them enough steps to step up, but still holding on to them is something that only a fool would do.
Besides, they are still counting on Zhang Yang to help them train soldiers!
Now that we have just made a good start, no one wants to cause discomfort.
In addition to the armored vehicle brought by Wright and his party, the scavenger team composed of thirteen people now has three Warrior armored vehicles with excellent performance.
In particular, the two specially modified Warrior armored vehicles sent by the federal authorities at the risk of their lives by a flying squadron were excellent in both performance and equipment, allowing Zhang Yang and others to advance even faster.
According to the current speed, it only takes ten more days to clear the entire fifty-kilometer area.
Originally, this area was the area that Gurung and his team were responsible for, but because Gurung and others secretly controlled it, it was almost wiped out by the blood bats.
Only now did Sean and the others know that the fundamental reason why the three of them became the lucky ones was actually because the three ascetics kept them here in order to dispel the doubts of Zhang Yang and others as much as possible.
As a result, they believed even more in the ancient philosophy that has been circulating in China for thousands of years:
Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie.
They thought that the three of them were lucky and were specially favored by God.
And Zhang Yang was indeed the messenger sent by God to rescue them.
According to the markings on the map, there are still two small towns that need to be searched.
Although it is believed that there is little chance of survivors being found in this area, images from federal authorities indicate that there is a high possibility that there are still survivors.
Regarding this situation, Zhang Yang couldn't help but become quite interested.
Because he judged from the aerial photos shared by federal authorities, this place may be related to the manipulator behind Gurung and others.
In just two days, Zhang Yang and his party arrived at the first town - Dingle.
Nicole told Zhang Yang that Dingle in Irish means a valley shaded by trees.
Unfortunately, from a distance, it looks almost the same as all the border towns in Northern Ireland that have been trampled by evil storms. There are ruins everywhere and silence.
It is like a frozen horror landscape painting, mercilessly telling the tragic situation after the evil storm rages.
When entering the town, according to Zhang Yang's instructions, three armored vehicles parked side by side before the intersection entering the village.
Bill and Alex led the five newly joined special service soldiers to station themselves at the entrance of the village, while Zhang Yang and Nicole led the other three people into the town directly following the traces left by Zi Yi.
Right now, Ziyi is undoubtedly the best sentinel in this team.
For a nine-tailed fox like Zi Yi, moving under the starry sky is far more relaxing and comfortable than during the day.
As soon as he entered the town, Zhang Yang felt something was wrong.
There were many figures wandering aimlessly before my eyes.
This is……
Zombies?!
But why didn't I smell their scent when I came in?!
wrong!
Even now, I still can't feel the aura of zombies from them.
what is going on!
Nicole obviously also discovered the clues, but her spiritual sense was more acute than Zhang Yang at the moment.
She whispered to Zhang Yang: "Mr. Zhang, they actually have a trace of human breath."
"You mean, they didn't die?" Zhang Yang frowned.
"Maybe..." Nicole looked at the wandering corpses and said with some uncertainty, "They are resurrected from the dead."
"You mean, the fountain of youth?!"
"Well, it's very possible."
Zhang Yang nodded.
When Nicole said this, he also felt that it was very possible.
In fact, during this period of time, Zhang Yang had not tried to use the Fountain of Youth to conduct experiments on zombies or mutant creatures.
Although there has been no successful case so far, they still made some discoveries.
Low-level zombies or mutated creatures will indeed show signs of life after drinking the fountain of youth.
And the degree of "resurrection" is entirely determined by the degree of mutation.
In other words, the more powerful an individual is, the more evil power he or she is infected with, so the degree of recovery is lower.
Could it be that someone also has the Fountain of Youth in their hands and conducts secret experiments here?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang frowned even more tightly.
Although I felt that this place was full of weirdness from the beginning, it was still hard to accept when I actually saw such a scene.
boom!
With a loud noise, the ground shook violently.
what happened?!
Looking at the direction of the flames, Zhang Yang felt as if a huge explosion had occurred there.
Is it purple?
Zhang Yang couldn't help but worry.
Although I have absolute confidence in Ziyi's strength, after all, there are many strange people in this world, and God knows when one or two will appear to cause trouble.
The explosion was about two hundred meters away from the wall where Zhang Yang and others were hiding. The billowing smoke obscured the starry sky, and the fire that shot into the sky seemed to ignite the air.
"I'll go take a look!" Nicole said immediately.
"Be careful!" Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.
Nicole nodded and ran out in a flash.
Zhang Yang's eyes fell on the wandering zombies again, and he suddenly discovered that the violent explosion did not affect them at all!
what is going on?!
According to past experience, once there is a noise, these zombies will follow the sound and surround the direction of the sound.
Boom--boom--boom--
Huh?
What is this sound...
Zhang Yang felt a creepy sound coming from behind, as if something was approaching him quickly.
He looked back and felt horrified all over.
Damn it!
How could something like this appear in this place?!
And that was when Nicole left.
Could it be that the explosion just now was actually to lure Nicole away... (To be continued)
