Chapter 4654: New Countermeasures

This possibility is also what Lin Yi has been thinking about.

But the situation before him made him feel that there might be something wrong.

But if you ask him to explain what the problem is, he can't really explain it clearly.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, “Contact Yu Luo and ask her how the interrogation with Michael and Vicons went. They must be the most familiar with this place. If they still maintain their original story after the interrogation, then the things they found here may really have nothing to do with the indigenous people.”

"Ah."

Ning Che took out his cell phone, called Qiu Yulo and arranged the matter.

Sitting there, Lin Yi looked at the stars in the sky and remained silent.

Ning Che lit a cigarette and handed it to Lin Yi.

"Relax, don't forget, we came here to avenge Zhang Mingyi. Now that we have avenged him, our goal has been achieved. All the things we are doing now are icing on the cake. If we succeed, that would be the best. Even if we fail, we won't lose anything."

"I know. I wonder if I can gain something if I change my thinking."

"What idea?" Ning Che asked seriously.

"If the ruins we just visited were related to the indigenous people, but there is no trace left, why is that?"

Ning Che thought about it, recalled his previous experience, and said:

"Perhaps the people living here are all slaves captured by the indigenous people."

"Besides this?"

"I can't think of it. Anyway, it shouldn't be a place where indigenous people live. There is no trace of it here."

"If this speculation is true, then there must be indigenous people nearby, otherwise slaves would be of no use to them."

After hearing Lin Yi's analysis, Ning Che seemed to have thought of something.

"Do you think there might still be indigenous strongholds nearby?"

"It's possible." Lin Yi said:

"Humans are social animals. If only ordinary people live here, it feels a little unreasonable. And the atmosphere of life is not strong. It seems abnormal no matter how you look at it."

"Let Lao Cai and Wen Jing watch Celt here, and we will go look somewhere else."

"No rush, let's rest for a night. We are still in the mountains anyway, and it's not safe to go out at this time."

"Row."

After discussing the follow-up matters, the two took a rest.

The next morning, at daybreak, Lin Yi and Ning Che left.

Mount Zork is the second highest mountain in Sana State. It has a large area and the road conditions are a little more difficult to navigate than one might imagine.

Fortunately, there are no ferocious beasts here, just some ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants, which cannot cause much trouble to the two.

But after searching for a day, nothing suspicious was found here, and the situation was once again at a stalemate.

"It's not a good idea to keep investigating like this. After such a long time, even if there is an indigenous stronghold, it is likely to be buried in the mountain. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack for the two of us to find clues."

Lin Yi is a little helpless now.

"This isn't a good idea. Let's try the old tricks and see if we can find something useful."

Ning Che looked at Lin Yi and knew that he had a new idea.

"any solution?"

"Collect some news related to this place and see if we can find some bizarre events. If something like this happens, we will have new clues to continue investigating. If not, it proves that our previous speculations were wrong, and there is no need to waste time here."

"This is a good idea. At least I don't have to search around like a headless fly."

"I think so too."

Afterwards, the two went back to meet with Lao Cai and the others, shared their idea with them, and they also thought that this method was feasible.

Since Celt was let go by them, Lin Yi was not worried that he would turn against them.

I have his family information in my hands. If he dares to do anything wrong, his family will suffer, and he will not have a good ending either.

The four of them went down the mountain and found the nearest hotel to stay.

Lao Cai and Sheng Wenjing were both sent out. They are both members of Group 2 and are all good at collecting intelligence. It is just right for them to do this task.

In addition, Qiu Yuluo is also collecting information in this regard in the country. As for when it can be sorted out, or whether he can find useful information, it depends on his luck.

Almost a day later, Ballmer sorted out all the information he had and sent it to Lin Yi.

He and Ning Che also became busy, starting to analyze and organize the information at hand.

"Look at these stone tools. They are not used for eating, are they?"

In the photos sent, there are many stone tools like stone troughs, and many stones with relatively regular shapes. It is difficult to tell what they are used for at first glance.

"It does look a bit like something you can use for eating." Lin Yi looked at the photo and thought for a while before saying:

"This also reflects our previous speculation that this is most likely where slaves lived."

"How did you tell?"

"Look at the things in the picture. Apart from the stone troughs, there is nothing else. A normal person would not eat them in this way."

Lin Yi rubbed his temples and lit a cigarette.

"Do you still remember the stone ball we found?"

"Remember what happened."

"The stone ball is well polished, which shows that they have a certain level of craftsmanship. But if you look at the situation in the cave, especially the stairs we walked down, it's hard to describe. If it was a normal living condition, it shouldn't be in such a state."

"So now you think that they put all the captured slaves there, and then take them out to work when necessary."

Lin Yi nodded, "That's about it."

"But there is another question. Don't ignore it." Ning Che organized his words and said:

"If they are doing experiments here, there must be strange minerals and metal mines as support. If these two things exist, then strange things will definitely happen on this mountain. But we have been on the mountain for so long, but we haven't seen anything strange. This is also not in line with common sense."

"Maybe this is just an ordinary gathering place, just like the places we went to before, and we didn't encounter any strange things there."

"If this is the case, the research value here is not as great as imagined."

"Whether there is any or not, we must try our best to find it. Moreover, for us, whether it is ore or metal, it is not as important as directional information. If we can find some information in this regard, we can go a step further in exploring the island."
