Chapter 4232: Approaching the Target
"That's why I came here to take a look by myself, without bringing a group of people with me. I wanted to explore the way first to avoid encountering other dangers." Lin Yi said while eating.
"I suddenly feel that this place may be more dangerous than the island," said Tao Cheng.
"Not necessarily. The most fundamental reason is that the area here is too small, so a more intense guarding method is needed." Lin Yi said:
"One day, when they cross the no-man's land, I guess real danger will be waiting for them."
While speaking, Lin Yi had a plan in mind.
After this mission is over, I will have to find a chance to talk to them.
Lin Yi's words put the three of them into a state of thinking.
From the beginning to the end, Tilia Island has been blocking outsiders from coming in.
But because Tilia Island is so large, that kind of invisible ideology can use a relatively "soothing" way to stop the invaders.
In comparison, Ailao Mountain is different.
For such a small place, the way it resists foreign enemies might be very radical, just as Lin Yi said.
"Didn't you bring back samples of giant creatures yesterday? Do you have any preliminary conclusions?" Ning Che asked.
"It's human." Lin Yi said affirmatively:
"They are not ape-like creatures. Humans have become like this because of radiation exposure."
No one was surprised to hear the news.
After carrying out so many missions, they no longer find such things strange or surprising.
"According to what you said, if that giant creature is a human, then is it possible that the creatures living in the uninhabited area of Tilia Island are also humans?"
"Most likely."
The expressions of several people were extremely solemn.
"I feel that our current exploration of Tilia Island may only be the tip of the iceberg." Lin Yi said:
"However, the appearance of Ailao Mountain is, to some extent, a preview of our entry into the core area."
"So, we are lucky." Ning Che said:
"We can use this place to analyze the situation on Tilia Island, and use it as a reference when we land on the island in the future."
Several people nodded and agreed with this point of view.
After more than ten minutes, everyone finished their meal.
They originally planned to divide into groups to keep watch, but Tao Chengcheng stopped them and said that he would be in charge. Lin Yi and the other two did not argue with him since they were already so familiar with each other.
The next morning, at daybreak, the four of them began their exploration mode.
Circling up around Ailao Mountain.
In this way, they searched Ailao Mountain for four consecutive days in a nearly carpet-style search method, but in the end they found nothing.
After several days of searching, the four finally arrived near the foggy area.
"It will probably take another day to finish the inspection of the middle and front sections," Tao Cheng said.
"We haven't found anything abnormal yet. Could it be that we've missed something?"
"We have conducted a comprehensive search, so it should be unlikely." Ning Che said:
"There is still a long way to go, maybe there will be some gains."
Ning Che and the other two all admired Lin Yi's insight and logical reasoning ability.
Since he said that there might be problems in the outer area, there is a high probability that there are problems.
The four people continued walking, and as they walked, Lin Yi suddenly stopped.
All three of them looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"It seems someone is coming. Let's hide first."
Following Lin Yi, the four hid behind a huge rock in the distance.
Not long after, six people were seen coming from a small path in the distance.
These people were all wearing the same black combat uniform, their faces were completely covered, and they walked forward carefully and cautiously.
After about ten minutes, these people passed by Lin Yi and others without being noticed.
"This is not Anglo's combat uniform, it is most likely Mammon's." Qiu Yuluo said.
"Have you noticed? They seem to be very purposeful, but their direction is not towards the summit."
"Mammon's intelligence capabilities are stronger than ours. If we follow them, we may be able to obtain more useful information."
"Walk."
The four people followed quietly, but because they were far enough away, they were not heard by the people in front.
And so, several hours passed.
Lin Yi used his super hearing and motion capture abilities to keep a lock on Mammon's location.
But as they walked, they discovered something was wrong.
The place in front of us is more humid than other places we have searched before.
There was even water accumulation in some low-lying areas on the road beneath our feet.
The trunks of the surrounding trees even showed signs of decay.
This kind of topography is completely different from other places we have searched before, and it seems to be even more bizarre.
"Look over there."
Looking in the direction of Ning Che's finger, several people saw a skeleton on the land not far away.
"I feel like we may be getting closer to our target soon." Lin Yi said in a low voice.
The remaining three felt the same way.
There are human bodies here, which means that climbers have been here.
After they came here, they were exposed to radiation and some of them died.
But there were some lucky people who managed to survive, and in the end, they became something neither human nor ghost.
Coupled with the special topography here, to a certain extent, it can be said that we are getting closer and closer to our goal.
"Look at Mammon's route. They didn't take any detours the whole way. They came straight to this place. I guess they may have grasped some important information, so they came straight here." Qiu Yulo said.
"It's no use saying anything now. Just go over and take a look and you'll know." Ning Che said.
Several people followed carefully and cautiously, speeding up little by little.
After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Yi suddenly heard the sound of water, so he quickened his pace.
"There's a situation."
Lin Yi took out the radiation meter, and the pointer on it started to jump. Although the amplitude of the jump was not strong, radiation was indeed present in this place.
Fortunately, everyone was wearing combat uniforms, which provided excellent radiation protection, so there was no need to worry.
"I think now, regardless of whether there is what we are looking for nearby or not, we can take action now. Let's get rid of these people first, so that they won't come out and get in the way when there are new discoveries," Ning Che said.
"Don't worry, let's wait for an opportunity." Lin Yi said:
"Mammon's intelligence capabilities are strong, and Anglo's are not weak either. They came here a few days ago, and it is very likely that they discovered something. I guess they will come again, and they may meet Mammon's people. If we can kill someone with a borrowed knife, we will win."
As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, he heard a cry of surprise from the front.
"Not allowed to move!"
