Chapter 646: Following the Clues, It Turns Out that He Is an Enemy, Not a Friend!
"Director, look, this is the first strange place we have discovered!"
As Feng Long fiddled with the storage function in the tablet, a picture with a dark background but barely able to see the general situation was displayed.
At first glance, Su Mo only saw a few neat Chinese characters on the top doorplate.
Armaments and weapons strategic warehouse.
"Here, according to the literal meaning, it is most likely not a place to store weapons in the origin territory, but a room where they store war supplies."
"And this room is so well protected. There is only one main entrance, and other places are directly sealed with bricks and stones. There are eight guards at the door, which is enough to show the importance of this place."
"But the strange thing is, here!"
After speaking, Feng Long swiped the tablet and switched to the next picture.
After swiping it a few times to enlarge it, a clue was instantly revealed.
With the gaps between the eight guards on duty, the small spotlight on the adventure mechanic's head can clearly capture the front of the armament warehouse.
The solid outer wall, judging from its material and cross-section, is at least two meters thick, and it is extremely difficult to force your way in.
An iron door that is two people tall, emitting a silver-white light, basically blocks all outsiders from entering.
If you want to enter here without a key, it is impossible to sneak in quietly unless you cooperate with the inside and outside.
But what is strange is that.
In the place where the spotlight is facing, the hole responsible for inserting the key is now covered with a thick layer of mud.
Judging from this degree, no one has opened this door for at least half a month.
"If this is a weapon they use to store wartime weapons, it is understandable that it has not been opened for such a long time."
"But"
Continue to flip to the next picture.
As Feng Long straightened the tablet and saw the picture on it clearly, Su Mo began to look serious.
The unique body shape and mobility of the adventure mechanics are destined to find many breakthroughs that humans cannot see.
At the back edge of this arsenal that is as solid as a cage.
I don't know if it is a moisture-proof ventilation channel or a room vent.
There is a small window about 20 cm high and 10 cm long that leads directly to the interior.
On the outer edge of the window, I don't know whether it is because no creature can get in such a small space, or because it is considered that even if it gets in, it will not damage the material storage inside.
In the early stage of construction, only three thumb-thick steel bars were left as protection for the entire window to prevent some small creatures from getting in and destroying it.
This steel bar is not troublesome for humans. It only needs some small tools to pry it back and forth to lose its rigidity and break it easily.
For adventure mechanics, it is even simpler.
With only a little trouble, Feng Long controlled the adventure mechanic to successfully twist off the obstacle and successfully drilled in along the passage.
From the beginning to now, things seem to be developing very smoothly.
However, the strange things have just begun.
Feng Long continued to flip to the next picture, revealing more than a dozen shelves with large boxes.
"When I first came here, I thought I had entered their lair, and I could see what special weapons these guys use!"
"But this time"
When he turned to the last photo of the arsenal, Feng Long showed a trace of horror.
"There is nothing in here?" Su Mo frowned as soon as he saw it.
The box is very neat, and it not only records the time when the items were put into the warehouse, but also lists the quantity of each item in detail.
From the most common pistol, equipped with three pistol bullets with different damage calibers.
To more advanced rifles and machine guns, the reserve of various bullets starts at 30,000.
Finally, it comes to conventional group combat weapons, grenades, timed C4, shoulder-mounted small RPG, single-person "Hydralisk" short-range anti-aircraft missiles, etc.
If it is really taken out according to the marked inventory, it can definitely arm a team of 300 to 500 people.
And this team is definitely armed to the teeth.
Even if facing a foreign race of thousands or tens of thousands of people, they are not the kind of weak at all.
But it's a pity.
"No! Nothing at all!"
"Not even a single pistol bullet can be seen!"
Feng Long shook his head: "I can't even confirm whether they put anything in this box. Most of the boxes have good seals. After opening them, I found that they didn't contain weapons or ammunition at all, but some worthless stones."
"If there is no ghost, how can it be justified?"
In the wasteland of the end of the world.
If we talk about what is the most important, the first one will always be force.
As the source of human force, these weapons of the civilized era are the greatest reliance.
As a large territory with more than 30,000 people, even if the lord of this origin territory is stupid, it is impossible not to pay attention to weapons.
But the facts are in front of us, which makes people feel a chill all over their bodies.
If at this time, an alien race hits the gate of the origin territory.
When all the guards are excited to come to the armory to take weapons and fight with the opposite side.
Open the box and find that it is stone.
Don't think about it, you know how desperate that scene is.
"Is it possible that this was a switch by someone on the inside?"
I raised a possibility, and Feng Long just shook his head and said nothing.
Su Mo's face paused, and his mind had begun to vaguely connect the clues based on this information.
First, the Lord of the Origin Territory, who had just met not long ago, was not the mysterious man who came out of the ruins.
Don't look at his dragon-like steps and domineering appearance.
But in fact, at the first glance, Su Mo found strong traces of "performance".
After all, being a lord and pretending to be a lord are two different things.
Even if the former is just walking on the road normally and does not show any abnormality, just based on that demeanor and the feeling given to people, it can make people feel extraordinary.
But even if the latter is sharp throughout the whole process, almost writing the four words "I am the boss" on his face, it is difficult to pass the test of discerning people.
Not to mention compared with the lord like Feng Mengyue who can lead 3,000 people to flee thousands of miles, and the lord like Lu Yongyi who can fight a naval battle with 10,000 people without showing fear.
Even compared with the wretched Liu brothers, they are just on par.
This person is most likely just a spokesperson for those who came out of the mysterious ruins.
Apart from enjoying some of the lord's benefits, he is just an empty shell with basically zero power.
Second, after the new lord came to power, the Origin Territory issued the so-called currency in less than a week to replace the traditional barter model.
All foreign travelers and caravans can still choose to use currency or materials.
But the locals living here cannot choose freely and are forced to get on the bus.
This kind of compulsory measure with no benefits can only bring a large amount of materials into the hands of the government in a short period of time.
Su Mo basically can't think of a second reason to do so.
Third, in the arsenal of the Origin Territory, all the weapons and equipment inexplicably turned into stone.
Compared with the first two points, this point is the most fatal.
Once an external battle really occurs, most of the guards are still holding cold weapons, and only a small number of people have guns.
As long as the other side can survive the first wave of shooting, the defense of the Origin Territory will collapse instantly and become a meal on the plate.
Even without the enemy coming to attack, as long as there is a riot inside the Origin Territory.
In the absence of weapons.
In a very short time, this seemingly colorful order will be completely destroyed.
And the seemingly valuable Origin Coins in everyone's hands
"Wait"
After grasping a key point, Su Mo stood up immediately with a look of horror.
"What's wrong?" Feng Tianmin saw this and felt bad
"Did you find a place to store supplies in the Origin Territory when you explored yesterday?"
"Store supplies?" Guan Yu'an, who had been sitting silently, tilted his head and thought about it, and cut out a photo with the tablet in his hand.
"After the curfew last night, I saw many people using this kind of handcart to transport supplies out of the territory, but I don't know where they went specifically. This is the photo I took!"
In the photo.
It is a team of more than 30 ordinary people.
According to the configuration of one cart per person, the supplies on more than 30 carts can basically supply the food for 2,000 people for one day.
Beside them, there are six guards with black scarves covering their faces.
The night is dark, and because the photos are taken too far away, it is difficult for people to see the specific equipment through the photos.
But just looking at the appearance, it is basically not bad, and it is obviously better than the guards guarding the gate.
"Are you sure they are pulling these supplies to the outside of the territory?"
Guan Yu'an frowned: "When I saw it last night, I thought they were just transporting goods and didn't pay much attention to it, but later when I explored other places, I saw someone removing the wheel tracks left by these carts all the way."
"Until then, I looked along the wheel tracks and basically confirmed that they went out along the small door on the west side of the Origin Territory. It is unlikely to go to other places."
The supplies collected and exchanged at the Origin Territory Center every day will be pulled to other places after the night curfew.
This seems to be fine when there are no other abnormalities.
But at this time, Su Mo couldn't help but have a bold guess in his mind.
"Tonight, you don't have to do anything, and don't care about the group of people who are monitoring us."
"Just keep an eye on these people's movements. By the way, Tianmin, go and arrange two more people."
Realizing the seriousness of the matter.
Su Mo no longer concealed it, and sat down again to start narrating some of his experiences in the Origin Territory from morning to now.
From the Origin Coin, to the Trading House, to the Main Peak Restaurant, the New Lord, and the Four Markets
When Su Mo finished speaking, and then connected the clues found last night, the faces of the three people were no longer calm as before.
Some, only endless horror.
"Director, this can't be true, there are not thirty, three hundred, three thousand here, there are thirty thousand people here!"
"How can this be a job that people can do? If he does this, isn't he afraid that his ancestral graves will be dug up?"
An association.
The memory flashed through his mind. In the coldest days of winter, with temperatures of minus 40 degrees Celsius, everyone in this huge Origin Territory had nothing in their hands but a thin sheet of iron.
Feng Long was helpless and could only open his mouth with an extremely ugly expression.
"Don't make random guesses. There are still five days before the big drop in temperature. We still have enough time to investigate the reaction!"
"Everything, wait until the results come out, then talk again!"
Waving his hand to disperse the anger in the hearts of the three people, Su Mo's face was normal, and his eyes narrowed like a cheetah.
Before leaving, Lu Kuan personally brought a few people to his side and narrated the remnants of Yan State's indifference to life and their pursuit of power and strength.
At that time, although Su Mo paid more attention to it, he never imagined that these people were so cruel, bold, and even broke the bottom line of humanity.
But now, when more and more evidence is in front of him.
In a sense, the monster under the water has lurked up, waiting to devour all those who dare to jump in and explore!
Time flies.
As the sun sets and the moon rises, the curfew bell at nine o'clock in the evening rings on time.
In Sanyuan Hotel.
Feng Long, Feng Tianmin, and Guan Yu'an had already prepared everything, and they could only set off quickly when the time was right to investigate the truth of the matter.
And Su Mo himself was still sitting by the window.
In front of the dim candlelight, he casually flipped through the information in his hand.
All the records on it were written with washable ink, which was very convenient to erase and write at will.
These were the results of more than 30 soldiers who went out to explore during the day.
"Is this all you found?"
More than 30 people investigated for a day, and what they found was just the tip of the iceberg.
Not to mention the news about the new lord, even the war that took place two months ago was not fully investigated.
The only good thing is that a lot of information about Marshal Wang was collected.
"Strange, Marshal Wang is so brave that he dared to take our people to secretly avenge himself. I don't know what kind of drug Lao Liu and his men were given, and they really agreed to do this."
"But it's really outrageous. There were only more than a dozen people before and after, and they were able to kill the lords of three peaks surrounded by thousands of people."
Su Mo put down the information in his hand, looking surprised.
"Director, these data are collected from bounty hunters in the Origin Territory. When it comes to knowing Marshal Wang's whereabouts, they are second to none. No one in the territory dares to claim first place," Du Shi said in a deep voice behind him.
After Feng Long and Feng Tianmin had their own independent tasks.
As the deputy captain, he had to take the lead and personally lead his men to investigate intelligence.
Undoubtedly, this was a difficult test.
But Du Shi himself knew that if he could pass it, his current small position would probably rise rapidly after returning to the territory.
Therefore, after only one day of intelligence investigation, he directly aimed at a path that was completely opposite to the investigation of Feng Long and others.
Looking for Marshal Wang!
"Can't you contact Marshal Wang with the radio now?"
Du Shi shook his head: "No, the last time someone found their traces was nine days ago. After that, they disappeared without a trace, just like those who offended the new lord of the Origin Territory before. No one knows where they went."
"If it weren't for the bounty order at the door still hanging, telling everyone that Marshal Wang has not been caught yet, most bounty hunters would have given up the search for him!"
In the past, as long as someone was secretly dealt with, the official bounty order of the Origin Territory would be removed the next day.
To tell everyone that the other party has been brought to justice.
But this time, Marshal Wang's bounty order is still there, which basically explains some of the situation.
"Well done, Marshal Wang must know more things we don't know. If we find him, perhaps most of our current doubts can be eliminated."
"Keep looking, as long as you can find it, it counts as a merit!" Su Mo agreed, and then said: "Remember, in this territory, don't conflict with anyone at present, everything will be discussed after we finish our investigation."
"Du Shi understands!"
