Chapter 289 Code
Unlike the carrier pigeons previously used at the Leia base, the eagles at the Unified Base began training much earlier and were specifically designed to deliver messages in places where communication was impossible.
Qiu Liren opened the note and took a look at it, then frowned slightly. Jiang Zixuan also leaned over and saw that there were only some crooked symbols on it that looked like earthworms.
"What?"
"The secret code of our base." Qiu Liren tore up the note and let the eagle go.
Gao Jianyi asked, "Is it an informant?"
"Yes, the informant provided a clue. An organization called Tiger King, whose leader Qian Bao led several of his followers to kidnap a group of people and is heading deep into the forest."
"Tiger King?" Zhou Xiaolai said in surprise, "Is it the Tiger King we know? How do they match up?"
Qiu Liren asked, "Do you know each other?"
Jiang Zixuan said slowly, "Not only do we know each other, to put it simply, we saw Shan Ge's younger brother, Shan Dayong, in Tiger King."
And Shan Daming happened to kidnap Shi Tou.
Gao Jianyi asked again, "What actions did Tiger King take?"
Qiu Liren said, "It's not clear. I will lead the team to the forest immediately. Please let the teacher take charge of the base."
"I'll go," Gao Jianyi was worried. "The people in the Viper Base are too sinister and vicious. You're still young, and you may not be able to handle them."
"The informant only trusts me. If the teacher goes, she won't care." Qiu Liren declined.
At this point, Gao Jianyi had no choice but to admit it. He patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Be careful. Don't forget that you still have to take care of your father until he dies."
Some time ago, Qiu Liren was visibly depressed, and a group of commanders who had watched Qiu Liren grow up were very worried.
Qiu Liren forced a smile, quickly counted his team, and prepared to head into the forest.
Jiang Zixuan and the others discussed it and decided to go to the forest with Qiu Liren.
They were after the stone. If Tiger King and his gang came to the base to kidnap people, then Dan Omiya might have taken the stone away for the same purpose.
It is their freedom to go wherever they want, and Qiu Liren will not stop them.
Jiang Zixuan first went to fill the water tower with water accompanied by Jin Mohan.
They didn’t know how long this trip would take, so they couldn’t cut off the base’s water supply.
After both sides were ready, everyone went to the forest together.
On the way, Qiu Liren kept using the walkie-talkie to contact the logistics department in the base to learn more about the follow-up situation.
"According to preliminary investigation, at least 200 people were missing from the base in just two hours."
"So many?" Jiang Zixuan frowned. "Didn't the armed forces notice?"
Qiu Liren shook his head heavily.
The base was in chaos at the time. Everyone was on high alert, focusing all their efforts on dealing with external enemies, and did not notice the chaos inside the base.
By the time the incident got out of hand, the kidnapped people had already been taken to the forest.
Zhou Xiaolai fanned himself with his hands and said weakly, "That Shan Dagong is really a heretic in the Shan family. If it were before the end of the world, I would really suggest that Aunt Shan take him to the hospital for a paternity test."
"Well, his character and personality are indeed incompatible with the Shan family." Jiang Zixuan shared the same opinion.
Jingchen's throat was smoking from the heat, and he said weakly, "When I see Shan Dayong, I suggest killing him to avoid causing trouble for the Shan family in the future."
Zhou Xiaolai glanced at him and said, "Very good, I'll leave this matter to you."
Jingchen made an OK gesture. Lengmo was distracted and didn't say a word.
They sat in the back of the military vehicle, feeling stuffy, hot, and sticky all over, and it was hard for them to speak.
Jin Mohan went back to the space very early and was too lazy to deal with these trivial matters.
The military vehicle drove all the way to the forest. Part of the road collapsed along the way, revealing a huge tunnel underneath.
Those monsters were indeed walking underground. Among their group there were species that were good at digging holes, so digging tunnels was effortless for them.
What kind of mentality did the Viper Base have that they created such a monster?
Aren’t they worried that if one day the virus evolves to the point where even they can’t control it, will they be attacked back?
The Viper Base and Wang Zhengzhu are both perverts and extremely warlike. Their behavior is becoming more and more crazy. I'm afraid they want to drag all of humanity into the fire pit.
If the Viper Base continues to behave recklessly, the World Federation will definitely impose sanctions, which will then trigger war again.
The military vehicle drove to the edge of the forest on the west side. A group of people got off the vehicle and faintly heard the sound of flowing streams.
After obtaining water from Jiang Zixuan, the Unified Base first supplied sufficient water to the interior of the base, and then released water upstream of the dried-up river to allow the water source to nourish the outside of the forest.
This endless forest is the foundation for the long-term development of the unified base. Although the deep forest has its own circulation system and is not short of water for the time being, many trees have died and streams have dried up on the edge of the forest.
Unknown to the men at the unified base, the drought would last only a few more months.
From their perspective, bringing excess water to forest edges is the basis for long-term sustainable development.
Qiu Liren walked to the edge of a mountain path and squatted down to check the marks on the ground.
It was a simple pattern made of a few small stones. If you didn't look at it specifically, you couldn't tell it was a mark.
"Xiao Qiuqiu, was this thing left by your informant?" As an intelligence worker himself, Jing Chen could tell at a glance that the mark was very eye-catching.
Qiu Liren hummed, then kicked the stones away and called his team members to go to the safe houses in the surrounding area to investigate the situation.
The information in the sign told him that the road ahead was dangerous.
After sending the team members away, Qiu Liren went into the mountains alone with Jiang Zixuan and others.
Along the way, patterns made of small stones guided the group forward.
These seemingly inconspicuous stones, arranged in different ways, convey different meanings and are marks that belong only to Qiu Liren and the informant.
The further they walked, the more solemn Qiu Liren's expression became. Even Zhou Xiaolai, who was the most nonchalant, noticed that something was wrong with him.
Jingchen put his arm around Qiu Liren's shoulders and asked casually, "Xiao Qiuqiu, what did your informant tell you?"
Qiu Liren avoided his touch inconspicuously and whispered, "The Tiger King's men sent the abducted people deep into the forest. I don't know what they are up to."
Al Qaeda had been eyeing the Tiger King Organization for a long time, but the other party was very good at disguising themselves and would never cause trouble under the military's nose, leaving room for sanctions.
This time, for some unknown reason, the Tiger King was stimulated to snatch people directly from the base and send them deep into the forest without fear of death.
What happened last night has caused the zombie beasts in the forest to still be in a state of riot. Once humans step in, they will be immediately targeted by thousands of zombie beasts.
Leeches falling from tall trees, venomous snakes twisting in the grass, large beasts lurking in the dark, and zombie birds hovering in the sky...
All of these monsters were staring at the humans who had trespassed into their territory. Stimulated by the smell of flesh and blood, they kept making frantic growls and swallowing their saliva.
The people standing here are not weak, and dealing with some zombie beasts is not a problem.
During the battle, everyone discovered that Qiu Liren's superpowers had greatly improved. The power of his lightning not only surpassed that of the third generation of superpower users, but even seemed to be stronger than the fourth generation.
