Chapter 168 No Body
"Since it is an exercise area, we should be able to find some clues left over from the exercise, right?" the fisherman said, "At least we can know what this research institute was researching back then, right?"
"It's a pity that the research institute was abandoned before these simulated training grounds were put into use." Yano sighed, "These buildings you see are actually only semi-finished products."

The largest proportion of people who "disappeared" on the unnamed island were not the staff of the research institute, nor the troops stationed on the island, but the engineering personnel at various expansion construction sites - at least the Siberian Federation and the Xiazhou Federation The manpower of six engineering regiments was invested here, but in the end, none of these people were able to go back.
"Do you find it strange?" Sun Hang suddenly said.
"Strange? What is strange?" The fisherman was a little confused. "If you want to say strange, I think everything I see is strange. There is nothing that is not strange."
"When the accident happened, there were thousands of people on the island, but only a few escaped back to the mainland. What about those who failed to escape?" Sun Hang asked.
"He's dead." The fisherman shrugged and said subconsciously, "Even if he hadn't died back then, more than a hundred years have passed and he's already dead of old age!"
"What about the dead body of the person?" Sun Hang asked again, "Didn't you notice that we didn't see a single corpse along the way?"
"Ah...it seems to be true!" The fisherman's face changed slightly, "There is not a single body...whether on the ground or underground..."
Excluding the hunters who were killed by Yamata no Orochi on the beach, they had only encountered four corpses now.
One was an Indian hunter who lost control of his emotions and died in a strange forest.
One was an Ansa hunter who was killed by his companions and made into an "amulet" because of his ability to shield curses.
One was an Ansa huntress who was cursed and driven into madness, and was killed by Sun Hang himself.
The other one is the unlucky guy who was stuck in the wall just now.
These four corpses are all hunters who landed on the island this time, and the corpses of the exploration teams that landed on the island before, as well as the "aboriginals" on the unknown island more than a hundred years ago, are Never appeared in sight.
The only "aboriginal" body was the one Sun Hang saw in his dream, the guy who died on the toilet.
"Could it be that there are some weird creatures on the island that specialize in devouring corpses? The kind that eats even the bones and dregs?" The fisherman scratched his head and said, "It's like the ghouls that often appear in fantasy-themed games. Same.”
"On the contrary, I think that the people on the island may have gathered in a certain place, so we didn't see any corpses." Yano said, "When designing this kind of research institute, some rooms will be reserved for 'safety' This kind of safe house stores a large amount of weapons, ammunition and living supplies, and is protected by extremely thick alloy walls. In the event of an invasion by a foreign enemy or a monster breaking through the containment, non-combatants cannot evacuate. , will hide in these safe houses..."
"Where is the nearest safe house?" the fisherman asked.
"There is no safe room on the underground floor." Sun Hang blurted out - at this moment, even he was stunned for a moment. He did not even deliberately recall the design drawings of the Wuming Island Research Institute, but relied entirely on that inexplicable Familiar, he said this sentence.
"Yes." Yano nodded, "Because of the existence of railroad tracks, there is no safe room on the underground floor of the research institute. There are eight safe rooms on the second underground floor, each of which can accommodate an average of fifty people; Each of the four safe houses can accommodate an average of twenty people. Of course, the number of people I mentioned refers to the rated number of people at the time of design. If it really comes to a pinch, it won't be a problem to fill these safe houses with four or five times the number of people. It’s just that the stored supplies may be tight.”
"I really envy you two for your memory." The fisherman said, "I have also seen the design drawings of this place, but now I can only remember a vague outline, and I can't tell which is which." From the Wuming Island Research Institute They naturally brought the design drawings with them, whether they were paper or electronic versions - but whether it was a portable computer storing the electronic version or a waterproof folder storing the paper version, they were all left on the beach. superior.
"I spent three nights memorizing the design drawings of the institute before setting off," Yano said.
"Three nights... the people in Tianshu Tower can really use the back door." The fisherman said, "Unlike us, we can only get this information after boarding the boat."
"I have to admit that Tianshu Tower underestimated the danger of this mission." Yano sighed again, "Even if Yamata no Orochi did not appear, I am afraid that a considerable number of people would die in this trial. ”
"I'm quite curious, who decided to use the Unnamed Island as part of the trial?" Sun Hang asked.
"I'm only a second-level researcher, and I don't know about the decision-making level." Yano said, "But the person who makes the final decision must be the tower owner."
"Tower Master? Is that the guy named Pei?"
"Yes." Yano nodded, "Mr. Pei has the highest authority over Tianshu Tower. Important matters such as promotion trials must be sent to him for approval."
"Then he has never thought that these hunters who participated in the promotion trial might be wiped out on the unknown island?" Sun Hang frowned, "In the past hundred years, three of the four groups of people who landed on the island were wiped out. , the fourth batch returned without success... This is quite telling, right?”
"Mr. Pei shouldn't...should..." Yano tried to defend the other party, but he found that no matter what he said, it seemed very weak.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The higher-ups of Tianshu Tower should understand the danger of this island far better than hunters like them.
"Have you met the tower master? What kind of person is he?" Sun Hang asked again.
"I have only seen his holographic projection in his public classes..."
"In other words, you have never seen him in person?"
"It's not just me...most of the people in Tianshu Tower have never seen Mr. Pei's true body." Yano said, "It is said that Mr. Pei rarely did anything to ensure that his physical condition was suitable for the work of the master of Tianshu Tower. Leaving the healing cabin specially designed for him, even the upper echelons of Tianshu Tower rarely see him in person.”
"So that's it..." Sun Hang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
But at this moment, the originally dark neighborhood suddenly lit up section by section!
"What's going on? Who turned on the light?" The fisherman was startled and quickly put on a defensive posture, "No! How does this light turn on? Where does the electricity come from?"
