Chapter 1486: Can’t Sit Still
The completion of the blood purification pool can be said to have directly brought a wave of rapid improvement to the lizardman tribe.
Looking at the good news that has been coming in recently, Zhou Xu is in a good mood.
At the same time, don’t forget that there is another benefit to evolving into a dragon man, which is that they can enjoy the bonus of the dragon man project.
Of course, further upgrades and unlocking are things to come later, and he has no plans to do so for now.
After all, there are only four dragon people under my command at the moment, so there is no need to upgrade the project specifically for them.
Not to mention that during this period of time, he had spent almost all of his magic power on upgrading the Lizardman project, and he hadn't practiced properly for a while.
He must not fall behind in his own cultivation either.
He is not invincible now. There is still Saint Laurent I on this continent who can threaten him.
Judging from the time, Saint Laurent I's star rating is definitely higher than his own.
At the same time, at this stage, he doesn't even have a warrior at the peak of the Vajra Realm under his command, so it can only be said that it is a long way off for him to break through to the Zongheng Realm.
Among the warriors in their Great Zhou at the moment, the one most likely to reach the Zongheng realm, Zhou Xu thought, was probably Blood Hand who was transformed into the undead.
After all, Blood Hand had already reached the level of Zongheng Realm when he was alive. His strength declined after he was transformed into the undead. The last time I saw his panel, he was at the Silver Three Stars in the Vajra Realm.
Unfortunately, during the war, Gargamel absorbed all the undead energy on the battlefield, accelerated the recovery of mana, and then used it to quickly expand the size of their undead army.
This resulted in Blood Hand and his companions having basically no chance to absorb the energy of the undead for cultivation.
After the war, the only way to practice is through the undead energy that is naturally generated regularly in the habitat of the undead.
But this efficiency is obviously not as fast as directly killing on the battlefield. According to this situation, it is unknown how long it will take Blood Hand to recover his strength before his death.
But Zhou Xu did not regret it.
Even if he were allowed to choose again, according to the situation at the time, the wisest option would still be to give all the undead energy to Gargamel and let him expand the undead army.
[How about sending the Undead troops overseas to explore? If you are lucky, they can experience a few major battles and improve faster? ]
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu quickly shook his head.
[Not right, not right. The Undead Army is stationed in the Plains Fortress to guard against the Saint Laurent Empire. The Saint Laurent Empire has many powerful Vajra Realm warriors. Once a battle occurs, the Undead Army's Vajra Realm combat power is indispensable. It is too risky to transfer them overseas.]
As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhou Xu seemed to remember something and his eyes fell on a secret report on the table.
This was just sent over by Ye Jinghong.
[Some guys finally couldn't sit still anymore. ]
Over the past two months, the Grassland Military District has caught several people who tried to sneak in. In terms of their identities, they are all citizens of their Great Zhou.
At first he lied, saying that he wanted to join the army, but the Ministry of Military Affairs had not issued a conscription order recently, so he wanted to sneak in and give it a try.
But the people in the military district are not stupid. Of course, they would not believe everything the other party said and hand the person over to the Inspection Department.
Whether he is innocent or not, we will know after checking! When he arrived at the Inspection Department, he opened the "Peeping Eyes" and the other party was immediately exposed.
The loyalty level of only 60 points was enough to explain a lot of problems. After confirming this, Ye Jinghong had no more scruples and directly sent the man to the interrogation room.
The interrogation room of the Inspection Department is not a good place.
Once a person is sent in, he will be skinned alive even if he doesn't die.
How could ordinary people withstand those methods since they have not received any torture training?
In a short while, he confessed everything.
“Speak! I’ll speak!!”
A shrill sound was heard from the interrogation room, and the person who was fixed on the interrogation rack was already a bloody mess.
"Someone gave me a gold coin and asked me to sneak into the weapons factory and see what was being produced there. He said that after I succeeded, he would give me another gold coin. If I could steal the things, he would give me another five gold coins!"
In their Great Zhou, ordinary people usually used silver and copper coins, and a gold coin was a huge sum of money.
"What does that person look like?"
“No, I don’t know.”
Then the prisoner seemed to realize something and screamed in fear again.
"I really don't know! Every time that person appears, he is wrapped in a robe with his face covered. And every time we meet, it's at night, in the dark, so I can't see his appearance clearly at all."
"Then you have a way to meet each other, right?"
"There is no meeting method. He always comes to me on his own initiative."
“…”
Hearing this, Ye Jinghong, who was leaning on the chair and fiddling with a gold coin in his hand, slowly stood up and walked outside the interrogation room.
"Send a team of people to take turns day and night to keep a close eye on his residence. Don't let any suspicious guy go."
"yes!"
After quickly giving the order, Ye Jinghong turned back to the office, wrote a report, and handed it to Zhou Xu.
Looking through the report, although no official result has been reached yet, Zhou Xu actually already has a rough guess about the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.
After all, these days, not many people can offer this price.
Moreover, they were targeting the military equipment manufacturing plant of their Great Zhou, so their target could be said to be quite clear.
Combining these two conditions, the scope can be narrowed down immediately.
[The Saint Laurent Empire?]
Needless to say, this is the biggest suspect in Zhou Xu's mind, and indeed the most suspicious one.
[He is good at stirring up trouble, but he doesn't do it himself. Instead, he chooses to spend money to bribe the citizens of our Great Zhou to do things for him...]
[The target is so clear, did you guess something? We sold them a large amount of inventory equipment before, the intention was too obvious? ]
Saint Laurent I is a time traveler after all. Some of his ideas seem illogical to the natives, but in the eyes of Zhou Xu, who is also a time traveler, they do have certain basis.
After Saint Laurent I learned that their Great Zhou had steam locomotives, he discovered that they were selling military equipment on a large scale. It was hard to guarantee that he would guess that they had developed muskets and were clearing out obsolete equipment.
But it's just a guess. At this moment, his inventory has basically been cleared out. After that, he plans to sell the matchlock gun to Peter of the Russian Republican Party.
At this point, this information is not a big secret. What good will it do if you know it? Zhou Xu acted fearless.
Of course, even if it doesn't matter, it doesn't mean that the other party can carry out espionage activities on his territory unscrupulously!
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu also directly ordered Ye Jinghong to investigate the matter thoroughly! As for the prisoner's matter, it will not be made public for the time being, and the investigation will be conducted secretly to avoid alerting the enemy!
