Chapter 509 511 Design
"These outsiders said that the treasures, skills and martial arts books dropped by monsters were placed inside the monsters by them, and they have higher-level martial arts books in their hands." Gong Hanyu said with a burning gaze.
"Ah, no, that's not the case. In that case, they were the ones who sent those monsters here! They harmed us so badly, and they still dare to say it out loud!" Zhou Jinxiu said angrily.
"What are they afraid to say? From what they said, they are just pioneers, and there will be more powerful people coming later." It was difficult to tell whether Gong Hanyu was happy or angry in his tone.
"What should we do? Can't we stop them?" Zhou Jinxiu asked nervously.
"How to stop them? They come from the sky, can we block the sky?" Gong Hanyu asked back.
Zhou Jinxiu was speechless.
"What's more, they claim that they are here to help us, to help us embark on the path of spiritual practice, to strengthen our bodies, and to seek immortality." Precisely because these people's origins are unknown and it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, the bosses of all parties have been arguing endlessly about this, and their attitude towards outsiders is also ambiguous.
Of course, this is also because most outsiders act low-key and do not do anything outrageous or outrageous.
"Then Miss, this outsider did not kill Rong Xianxian as agreed. What should we do with the plan you arranged before?" The affairs of the outsider were not something a small person like her could influence, so Zhou Jinxiu simply stopped thinking about it.
"Then let her live a few more days. I'll catch Ning Qingyun and then find a way to deal with her." Gong Hanyu said with a sinister look on his face.
At this point, Gong Hanyu took a map from the bookshelf. This was a map of the stronghold near the Misty Forest. Her mercenary group had been operating there for such a long time and knew the terrain and topography there like the back of their hand. Although it was now occupied by Ning Qingyun's men, they would definitely renovate some of the buildings there, but they might not be able to discover some of the more hidden and special terrains.
Gong Hanyu scribbled on the map and drew a simple topographic map on another blank piece of paper. He gave the map to Zhou Jinxiu and asked her to send someone to deliver it to Ning Zhici.
After being badly defeated by Ning Zhici in the last battle, Gong Hanyu decided to let him take the lead this time.
After three days of heavy rain, the sky finally cleared up. The warm sunshine shone on the earth, and people's mood finally became relaxed.
In the stronghold outside the safe zone, Ning Qingyun was checking everywhere to see if there was any water accumulation.
"Boss, the fact that that brother was possessed by evil spirits is probably just a coincidence. Look at the people from other mercenary groups going in and out of this misty forest, nothing happened to them, right? Let's send some people in as well." Pan Yang felt itchy when he saw the adventurers going in with empty vehicles and returning with full loads.
"No, no one is allowed to step into the forest until the research institute gives us the results." Ning Qingyun retorted.
"Yes, boss." Looking at Ning Qingyun's firm attitude, Pan Yang had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Boss, it's been several days. When can the research institute give us the results?" Pan Yang has been trapped in the stronghold these days. He hasn't exercised properly for several days and feels like his bones are rusted.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Ning Qingyun glanced at him.
"Ah, ah, someone come quickly! Someone come quickly! Haiwa is going crazy!" Suddenly someone shouted loudly.
Ning Qingyun and Pan Yang looked at each other and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
"What's going on?" Pan Yang saw from a distance that someone was tying up another person with a rope, and the person was struggling like crazy.
"Brother, Haiwa suddenly went crazy just now, with the same symptoms as Yongzi. He wanted to bite me, but I trapped him." The man who spoke was called Zhang Tao. He and Haiwa were good partners, and they were always inseparable.
"Did you leave the base today?" Pan Yang asked with a frown.
"No!" Zhang Tao denied.
"Has Haiwa ever left?" Pan Yang asked again.
"No, we have always been together, even going to the bathroom separately!" said Zhang Tao.
Other people in the stronghold heard the noise and gathered around. When they heard Zhang Tao's words, they all nodded.
"Seal off the stronghold immediately and no one is allowed to leave. Remember not to miss any exits. If you encounter strangers you don't know, capture them alive if possible. If not, kill them immediately." Ning Qingyun gave the order immediately.
"Yes." Pan Yang agreed and went to give the order.
"Come on, you two, plug his mouth and tie him up." Ning Qingyun said, pointing at the two team members watching in front.
The two team members carefully tied up Haiwa, who looked like a madman, and stuffed a towel for wiping sweat into his mouth.
Haiwa's normal teeth became longer, and his mouth became a little deformed.
"Boss, all exits of the stronghold have been blocked, and no outsiders have been found for the time being. My subordinates have sent people to conduct a full-scale search." Not long after, Pan Yang came back to report.
Zhang Tao was taking Ning Qingyun around. He was recalling the places he and Haiwa had walked around before. They had walked around several times but didn't find anything unusual.
Suddenly, he slapped his head and suddenly remembered a place. He brought Ning Qingyun and others to a spring.
Ning Qingyun and his group looked at the gurgling spring. The water flowed very thinly and was clear to the bottom. It looked very clean, but the water was blue, which looked a little strange.
"Captain, deputy commander, it must be the problem with the water. When Haiwa passed by here just now, he thought this spring was interesting and the water was clean, so he washed his face with it. I saw the color of the water was strange and I didn't dare to touch it. Apart from that, the things we touched and the paths we walked were the same." Zhang Tao said.
"This spring must have just appeared. I walked here before and didn't find this spring." Pan Yang frowned and thought.
"Since this might be the problem, let's block it off," Pan Yang said.
"No." Ning Qingyun waved his hand to stop him.
"Boss, if we don't block this place off, are you planning to let the official people find out the cause?" Pan Yang said anxiously.
He was really afraid that Ning Qingyun would have to let official people intervene in the investigation, then their stronghold would be handed over to others.
"Of course not."
"However, we still have to confirm whether it is the water that is the problem?" Ning Qingyun said, looking around.
The people around him backed away, no one wanted to try.
"Are there any living prey in the kitchen?" Ning Qingyun asked.
Someone among the onlookers immediately responded, "Yes, Captain, there are a few long-tailed finches in the kitchen. I'll go catch them right away!"
After a while, the team member came back carrying the cage.
