Chapter 290: Probing Intelligence
After Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan finished explaining things to Cheng Sinian and the others, they got out of the RV.
Wang Zha was half-lying beside the car. When he saw Qiao Yu coming out, he started to hit the ground with his tail frantically again.
Qiao Yu touched Wang Zha's nose and comforted him for a while, then he pulled Jiang Zhan and started wandering aimlessly in the base again.
After strolling for only a short while, the two figures suddenly disappeared into a dark alley.
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan used the cover of the mental barrier to quickly rush out of the gate of the survivor base, and then followed the clues provided by Yan Zijin to come to the gathering place of the dependents.
The two of them first walked around the outer wall before finally arriving at the gate.
"This place is indeed different from a normal survivor settlement."
Qiao Yu looked at the big steel door in front of him and said in a low voice.
Although the outer defense system here is not as strong as that of the base, it is strong enough, and the door is made of all steel and is very new.
Although the gate of the black market in City G is also made of steel and the defense system is relatively complete, that is because the black market has high profits.
How could an ordinary dependent settlement have such strength?
Although there were no guards at the gate at this time, the door was closed.
Closing the door is either to prevent outsiders from entering or to prevent people inside from leaving.
Dependent settlements are places where "illegal residents" who cannot pay "taxes" and cannot enter the base are sheltered. Usually, people can enter and exit freely, and it is impossible for outsiders to be prevented from entering.
So there is only one possibility left.
——Someone is preventing the dependents inside from escaping.
Qiao Yu suddenly thought of the corpse they saw at the "reservoir" yesterday.
Most of them were dressed in thin and dirty clothes, had skinny and frail bodies, and their appearance was very consistent with that of a dependent.
Qiao Yu's expression gradually turned gloomy.
If her guess was correct, those "sacrifices" used to feed the mutant flowers and plants should all come from here.
"Ah Zhan, can you find out how many people are inside?"
Jiang Zhan shook his head slightly. "The area is too large, so I can't explore it all. But based on the circle we just made, the population in the west is the largest. Within the range I explored, the maximum number of people could reach nearly two thousand."
Qiao Yu pursed her lips when she heard that.
Two thousand people, if Jiang Zhan's current exploration range is enlarged proportionally, according to the area here, there are at least more than 30,000 people inside.
There are so many people...
"Why are there so many people?" Qiao Yu frowned slightly.
The area here is not as large as the dependent settlement outside City G, but the population is actually more than there.
Jiang Zhan's eyes flickered as he explained in a low voice, "Some of the people here have very chaotic mental fluctuations. I suspect they are most likely failed experiments."
So that's how it is. Qiao Yu suddenly realized.
It is indeed impossible for a dependent settlement of this size to have so many people.
But after hearing Jiang Zhan say this, what else did Qiao Yu not understand?
It seems that all the trafficked people who didn't die on the experimental table are probably here.
And judging from the situation, it seems that more than just the G City Survivor Base was harmed.
"These beasts!" Qiao Yu could no longer contain the anger in his heart and cursed in a low voice with gritted teeth.
Jiang Zhan gently stroked Qiao Yu's hand with gentle force and soothing touch.
After Qiao Yu's expression softened slightly, Jiang Zhan continued, "The number of people on the west side is the largest, and the defense is the strongest, so I guess that's where they're being held."
"But if we want to make some noise, it will be easier to go east. The defenses on the east side are much weaker than on the west side. Without mental power, it will be easier to enter or retreat."
Qiao Yu pursed her lips when she heard that.
She understood that Jiang Zhan's implication was that it was basically impossible to rescue these imprisoned "sacrifices".
This area is not small, and the east and west sides are far apart. Even if Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue run as fast as they can, they will definitely be obstructed by the guards after launching an attack.
They are now short-handed and have to ensure that their identities are not exposed while attracting the attention of military personnel and delaying time.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for them to save these people.
If they were to go deep into the enemy's territory alone, not only would they not be able to save these people, they would even lose their own safety.
"Azhan, I understand." Qiao Yu lowered his eyelashes.
The mission is important.
This time they must get samples from the sample library.
Only in this way can more people be saved.
Jiang Zhan touched Qiao Yu's hair, kissed her on the forehead, and then asked softly, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Qiao Yu forced a smile and nodded, "Let's go in. We need to find a way to get more intelligence so that they can be safer when completing their mission."
With the help of the wind, the two men climbed directly into the interior through the gate.
There are two rows of iron houses on both sides of the gate, which are the same as those in the dependent settlement in City G, but the difference is that the people sitting inside are wearing mercenary uniforms from the survivor base in City A.
Under the protection of the spiritual barrier, Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan walked on the street as if they were in an empty place.
There was no one here and the whole street was extremely quiet, completely different from the hustle and bustle inside the survivor base.
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan first went to the west. As Jiang Zhan expected, this was indeed the place where the "sacrifice" was imprisoned.
Rows of tin houses were filled with people.
No, some of them may no longer be called human beings.
Some of them have human faces and animal bodies, some have animal faces and human bodies, and some have half the body of an animal or insect and the other half looks like a human.
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan walked slowly past these iron houses, their expressions becoming increasingly gloomy.
Some of these failed test subjects could no longer stand and could only crawl on the ground or curl up in a corner.
Dozens of people were crowded into a house of more than ten square meters.
Each house has only one small window for ventilation, which makes it depressing and dim.
Qiao Yu clenched his hands into fists, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Han Ming.
Even if she chases him to the ends of the earth, she will kill him!
Qiao Yu didn't dare to look any further. He just hurriedly noted down the layout and guard positions here, then pulled Jiang Zhan to the easternmost end.
There were also some people imprisoned in the several houses to the east, but the number was very small. It looked like a large, unfinished prison.
However, perhaps it is precisely because there are fewer people imprisoned here that the guarding force is indeed not as large as that in the west.
Qiao Yu drew the map on paper, then noted down the locations one by one, even marking the number of guards clearly.
Only after completing the floor plan of the entire settlement did the two of them climb over the wall from the gate and leave again.
