Unfortunately, Chen Ziyan searched through the inheritance and records related to Gu insects, but could not find any similar cases.
Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly thought of the anecdotes in the inheritance. Maybe he could find useful information in them.
Chen Ziyan found a new idea and immediately started reading again.
This time he did not return without any effort, but he was a little unsure whether what he found was useful.
It was left by a senior Xieling five hundred years ago. He once encountered a group of weird people when he was out fighting.
They were a group of people who were not afraid of swords and guns, and would not change their expressions even if they were hit with swords and axes.
In this regard, the comment given by this senior Xieling was that those guys simply did not look like human beings.
Chen Ziyan agrees with this evaluation.
Because the feeling those people gave him just now was that these guys didn't seem like living people.
It is precisely because of this commonality that Chen Ziyan feels that there is some connection between himself and the situation encountered by this senior.
Of course, he didn't think this was a direct connection, because all he faced were Western faces, and his predecessors didn't see many foreigners.
"There are ghosts in Xiling, they look like humans..."
After seeing the guess left by the last senior, Chen Ziyan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although it is somewhat different from the records, maybe this is really a direction. After all, his past experience has proved that many legends in this world are not groundless.
Does that also mean that those Western legends and stories also have unknown prototypes?
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan squatted down and opened the mouth of the corpse, intending to see their teeth.
If these guys really have sharp canine teeth, they might really be some kind of supernatural creature.
But after he opened the mouth of the corpse, he was disappointed to find that these cold-faced people did not have those kind of fangs. Their teeth looked sharper, but they were no different from ordinary people.
And Chen Ziyan could see that the sharpness of the teeth of these corpses was not born that way. The subtle wear marks on them proved that they were artificially shaped.
After some research, Chen Ziyan found nothing, so he could only temporarily give up on investigating what was hidden in it.
After he asked Wushuang Ghost to take good care of the mutated sea monkeys, he got up and returned to the cabin above.
After all, something unexpected happened, and it would be hard for him to not show up all the time.
After arriving at the resting hall above, Chen Ziyan immediately felt the brutality of the battle.
Although someone is already cleaning up, there is blood everywhere, and it is obvious that the cleaning cannot be completed in this short time.
However, Chen Ziyan felt that most of the things inside may be gone just by cleaning them up, and need to be completely replaced.
After leaving the hall, he saw Dong Yanxia who was directing others on the deck.
After seeing Chen Ziyan appear, Dong Yanxia immediately stopped what he was doing: "Master Chen, you are here."
Although Chen Ziyan just said that he would have full authority to handle the aftermath, But now that he has appeared, it is always bad not to report it.
Dong Yanxia can still control this point of propriety.
"Well, how is the situation?" Chen Ziyan asked, looking at the similarly scarred deck.
He had a hunch that the situation might be more serious than he thought.
Because the current situation on the ship is even greater than the noise caused by the sea monkeys before.
"It's okay on our side. Except for the heavy casualties at the beginning, there were no serious casualties later on, but the prisoners..." At this point, Dong Yanxia paused for a moment, and then gave the answer. :
“Those prisoners are gone.”
"All gone?" Chen Ziyan asked in surprise.
This was an answer he didn't expect.
You have to know that the number of prisoners who came over from the opposite ship is probably about the same as them, maybe even a little more than them, but they are all gone?
He didn't think that everyone on that ship was brave enough to die, and there should only be a few people like the cold-faced people.
The purpose of Chen Ziyan's coming up this time was not only to show his face, he also wanted to question the remaining prisoners.
Since there is no result from his own thinking, it is better to ask someone who is familiar with the cold-faced person, maybe he can get some useful clues.
But I didn’t expect that not a single one was left, and they all died in the turmoil just now.
"We have checked that those who are not determined will probably be planted with bombs without knowing it. They are the first to die. The remaining ones are extremely tenacious and will be beaten until they move. After that, he decided to commit suicide, so there was no one left alive."
Dong Yanxia's face became heavy when he talked about this.
"Suicide?" After hearing his words, Chen Ziyan understood why he did this, because this undoubtedly showed that the origins of these people were not simple.
If the mission fails, then commit suicide. That is the way of a dead soldier.
In this day and age, organizations that can cultivate dead soldiers on a large scale don’t need to think about it to know that it’s not easy.
"Tell the brothers to forget about this." After a few seconds of silence, Chen Ziyan said slowly.
He planned to remind his guys in this way.
Those who can see the seriousness of the problem probably have already seen it, and those who didn't see it at the time, I believe they will understand what they should do after his reminder.
After all, these temporary workers are not stupid. At most, they just didn't react for a while.
Compared to Chen Ziyan, they actually need to worry more about retaliation because they are easier to find and easier to deal with.
"Master Chen, where is the captain?" Dong Yanxia asked.
He understood what Chen Ziyan meant, but if the captain spoke out, it would be useless for the guys to remain silent.
"Our captain is a smart man. After he knows what happened, he naturally knows what to do." Chen Ziyan is not worried about this.
Because the captain is undoubtedly weaker than him and the guys, he will take this matter more seriously than they do.
"You continue to be busy."
After saying that, Chen Ziyan planned to leave.
After all, he doesn't want to be burdened by these chores. Since his face has been exposed, there is no need to stay any longer.
To be honest, it was already the return trip. If it wasn't for the sake of face, he wouldn't even want to show his face.
But just after taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something and called Dong Yanxia: "By the way, where are the things those people brought, let me take a look."
He also suddenly remembered , although the people on that ship are dead, the things they brought over are still there, maybe something can be found in them.
So I decided to check it out and see if there is anything I want. (End of this chapter)
