Chen Ziyan was not an indecisive person. After making up his mind, he immediately started taking action.
After looking around and making sure that nothing was missing, Chen Ziyan first quickly restored everything in front of him to its original state as much as possible, at least making sure it was not visible from the outside, and then carefully cleaned up the traces he left .
After doing this, he began to quietly look for Yingzi in the camp.
Because the underground side still needs to be dealt with, Chen Ziyan cannot stay here longer, so the next step in the camp will have to rely on other people's efforts.
The search for Yingzi went smoothly. Maybe he was worried that his nephew would sneak into the camp and hurt people. When Chen Ziyan saw Yingzi, the girl was patrolling around with her dogs.
This is reasonable, and no one can avoid this worry.
Chen Ziyan did not leave the hiding place rashly. Instead, he observed carefully first. After confirming that there was no one else around, he revealed his figure.
“Brother Chen?”
Yingzi was surprised by Chen Ziyan’s appearance.
You have to know that they separated not long ago. From her understanding, it would take at least a few hours for Chen Ziyan's affairs to be completed. She really didn't expect to meet again so soon.
But Yingzi realized in the next moment that Chen Ziyan must have come back because something happened.
Chen Ziyan nodded towards him first, and then asked directly: "Yingzi, where are the other people in the camp?"
He knew that he was not suitable to appear in front of others now, what would happen to him It's not a good place to talk if someone is going to come here.
Although Yingzi was confused, he also knew the importance. Hearing this, he quickly replied:
"Brother Chen, I was worried that nephew Li would come, so I asked everyone else to stay in the tent first. .”
Considering the combat effectiveness of the people left behind in the camp, Yingzi did not have any expectations for them at all. After deciding to inspect the camp in person, he summoned all the staff and asked them to stay in the tent together and not move around at will to prevent falling. Shan was attacked by his nephew.
After all, according to the known situation, in the entire camp, except for her, who has a giant mastiff and a group of dogs, the rest of the people who meet her nephew are just food delivery materials. I am afraid they don’t even have the slightest ability to resist. No.
As for the option of dispersing the dogs around him and assigning them to others as bodyguards, Eiko had never considered it at all.
Yingzi, who grew up in the mountains, seems simple, but she has values unique to a hunter. Although she has a kind heart, she does not have a bottom line. She does not hesitate to refuse help within her ability, but that is also what she can do. Do it to the extreme.
Although Yingzi did not express her thoughts clearly, Chen Ziyan could still see something from her arrangement, and he was very satisfied with it.
It cannot be said that those who work in their profession are all evil people, but they are certainly not obedient people. They should have good intentions, but the necessary vigilance is also essential.
Furthermore, Yingzi's arrangement was exactly what he wanted. He was actually wondering whether to find a reason to gather people together first. Unexpectedly, Yingzi's subjective initiative was quite strong and she had already taken care of things first. It's done.
"Yingzi, let's put aside nephew Li's matter for now. I have something important to leave to you." After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Ziyan said directly.
Hearing this, Yingzi's handsome little face became solemn: "Brother Chen, tell me."
You don't need too many words, just Chen Ziyan's demeanor and tone at this moment made Yingzi Understand the importance of things.
"It's like this. I accidentally discovered that there is something wrong with the people in the camp, but because there are not enough clues, I can't determine who this person is yet, and it's hard to alert the snake, so I need you to help me investigate secretly." Chen Ziyan said what he said purpose.
It's not that Chen Ziyan never thought of taking action himself and directly controlling the remaining staff in the camp, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was not necessary.
With Nephew's real and convincing excuse, the actual situation in the camp is no different from the control, and under the premise that lives are threatened, even if it is forced control, the effect may not be as good as it is now. In better condition.
To be honest, Chen Ziyan has no idea whether he can find the dark room. Now he can basically conclude that there is Li Wu in the so-called dark room, and it is 80% the work of the Wang family.
But it is precisely because of this that Chen Ziyan has no hope. When it comes to understanding the Wang family, he is probably deeper than many Wang family members, and he knows very well that the other party will not be caught so easily.
Of course, if Chen Ziyan spared no effort and directly said, "I'd rather kill the wrong person than let him go," then this hidden danger could be eliminated in disguise.
But if you think about it, you will know that this is definitely not possible. It might have been possible a few decades ago, but it is completely unrealistic in this era.
What's more, these staff members are still from the administration. If anyone really dares to kill them all, he will be riding to the edge of the cliff and not reining in - seeking death!
So after Chen Ziyan thought about it again and again, he decided to remain calm for the time being and maintain the situation where the enemy is secretive and we are transparent. After controlling the staff in the camp in disguise, Yingzi was responsible for secretly observing to see if he could Something was discovered.
Although the result of this is unknown, one advantage is that even if Anma fails to be caught, it can ensure that the other party cannot act during this period and maintain the situation within a controllable range. .
If things can be finished quickly underground, Chen Ziyan can finish the work at the camp by himself, so that there will be no delay.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, I will keep an eye on them." Yingzi responded decisively.
Although Chen Ziyan's words are unclear, it is not difficult to see the importance of the matter through his cautious attitude.
"That's good, but remember, everything is based on your safety. If something unexpected happens, just abandon this camp." Chen Ziyan didn't say anything more, and after some warning , he said goodbye to Yingzi and left the camp again.
Time is tight and he cannot waste it.
I still have great trust in Yingzi and Chen Ziyan. This girl is not a soft girl. Not only is she an experienced hunter, but she is also surrounded by ferocious and alert dogs. As long as she is careful, even if she is really No matter what happens, her own safety is still fine.
Of course, the premise is that Yingzi should not take it too seriously, which is why Chen Ziyan warned her.
After all, in the real world, even in a completely overwhelming situation, there are still miracles of comebacks.
After leaving the camp, Chen Ziyan did not rush back underground, but came to the connecting point in the forest again.
Out of caution, Chen Ziyan did not take action directly, but squatted down and observed.
It stands to reason that there is no need for Chen Ziyan to come again. He can wait for the people from the administration to arrive and then dig out the secrets hidden here together. But now he needed more evidence to confirm his inference, and this was the most suitable place, so he came here as soon as he left the camp.
Looking at the ground in front of him, which was covered with leaf litter and made looming with soil, Chen Ziyan thought silently.
Whether it was the illusion constructed by Li Wu's subconscious or what he found in the camp, it was enough to show that there was a problem with the land in front of him.
But the distance is clear, and now there is still a little gap.
As for Chen Ziyan's character, he is used to taking the initiative. Now that he knows there is something underneath, it is really hard to feel at ease if he doesn't take a look with his own eyes.
Although there may be hidden dangers in digging now, compared to when the situation was unexpected, this small price is nothing.
After frowning for a while, Chen Ziyan gently pushed aside the top leaf litter, revealing the soil below.
But what surprised Chen Ziyan was that the surface of the soil below was moist.
Although it's not quite mud, it's thick enough.
This is a bit of a problem. You must know that moist soil is not friendly to the transmission of sound, and the effect is far inferior to loose and dry soil. This can be seen from the layout of the camp.
With such doubts in mind, Chen Ziyan hesitated for a moment, then took off the glove on his right hand and slowly placed his fingers on the soil.
If it were him before, he would never have made such a dangerous move. After all, no one knew whether the soil was poisonous or not. However, after the blood in his body had grown sufficiently, Chen Ziyan made trial and error. confidence.
Even though he is far from the physical strength of his ancient ancestors, he is only contaminated with poison, which is not a big threat to him.
There is obviously something wrong with the wet ground in front of us. This almost sticky soil is obviously not conducive to the transmission of sound. Does that mean that the ground here has been specially treated?
For example... it's just superficial?
But when a shallow dent was made on the ground and a cool, moist feeling came from the front of his fingers, Chen Ziyan knew that his guess was not valid. The soil here was not a similar fake. , but a genuine product of nature.
However, this did not make Chen Ziyan relax, but made him more vigilant.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
This earth texture is extremely real whether it is visual or tactile, but it is this 'reality' that makes Chen Ziyan's doubts more intense.
After shaking his fingers slightly to make sure that the mechanism would not be touched, Chen Ziyan began to gently scrape up the soil.
Although the experiment was carried out, Chen Ziyan was actually not worried about this, because this was an unattended wilderness. There might not be any human traces in normal times, but there were definitely a lot of animals passing by.
If there really is such a trigger-happy mechanism down there, it will definitely not wait for Chen Ziyan to touch it, so when he was scraping away the soil, he was not too worried about his own safety.
However, not long after he started, Chen Ziyan's movements came to an abrupt halt, because the situation in front of him was far more special than he imagined.
With just a few scrapes, the thickness of the soil layer was probably less than one centimeter, and an isolation layer with a special texture appeared in front of him.
This isolation layer is like steel and cloth, and it is full of dense and fine holes. However, the diameter of these holes is very small, probably even thinner than the smallest needle.
The moment he saw the isolation layer, Chen Ziyan immediately understood why the soil on the isolation layer was so moist. The reason was the dense pores.
The holes in the isolation layer not only absorb the water vapor in the air, but also increase the sound absorption. Although the specific principle is not clear yet, Chen Ziyan knows that this is definitely not a useless move.
While thinking about the material of the isolation layer in front of him, Chen Ziyan put on his gloves again and reached out to see if he could lift it up.
But unfortunately, his attempt was not successful. Not to mention lifting up the isolation layer, not even a single wrinkle was found.
What this means is self-evident. If the isolation layer is not fixed in a special way, the overall area of the isolation layer is too large.
Chen Ziyan knew very well that if he wanted to continue exploring, the easiest way would be to destroy the isolation layer in front of him, but this was obviously not an easy task. Not to mention that the situation below the isolation layer was still unknown. Just because the person behind the scenes only covered it with such a thin layer of soil, it shows that the other party trusts the quality of the isolation layer.
And the most important thing is that Chen Ziyan often only knows about the organization but does not know why. With his current level, it is difficult to break through this isolation layer.
It is precisely because of this that, knowing the power of the mechanism, he will not underestimate this isolation layer, or the mechanisms that may exist below.
You must know that well-known mechanisms like Tianhuo Glazed Ding have never been the expertise of the ancients. Many modern mechanism masters have not only copied them long ago, but also successfully updated them, greatly increasing their lethality. .
If someone really cracks it with force, it will definitely give them a huge 'surprise'!
Even though the blood in Chen Ziyan's body has been nourished and his body is far better than ordinary people, he still dare not make such an attempt easily.
Fortunately, the emergence of this isolation layer is enough to prove a lot of things. The only difference lies in the number and effectiveness of the mechanisms below.
For Chen Ziyan, the current harvest has reached expectations, and there is no need to rush in other aspects.
After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan began to restore the ground in front of him, planning to leave here when he was done.
His main purpose here was to find evidence to prove his judgment. Although he did not see the specific situation under the isolation layer, this isolation layer was enough.
After all, Chen Ziyan is not trying to figure everything out completely, he just wants to prove that his guess is correct.
There is a clear difference between the two!
At the entrance of the underground fortress, Wu Laogou looked very serious. His eyes wandered back and forth on the staff inside the door, with a hint of shock and confusion in his eyes.
Maybe it was because he was too focused that when Chen Ziyan walked not far behind him, he noticed someone approaching from behind.
Wu Laogou, who was attracted, suddenly realized that there was someone behind him. He subconsciously ducked into the fortress in front of him and hid his torso behind the building. At the same time, he aimed the weapon in his hand and wanted to say hello to him. Chen Ziyan.
After completing this series of actions, his eyes fell on Chen Ziyan, who was a little dull. When he saw clearly who was coming, Wu Laogou let out a sigh of relief and quickly Put down the weapon in his hand. (End of this chapter)
