Chapter 335 New Map
Huang Jinghe asked in surprise, "Where are the bedbugs? Why are they gone?"
"No, there should be some. After all, there is still some bedbug ice that Sister Ling froze."
"Maybe it was because of the copying process that it copied the things over there, but there are actually no bedbugs here, so no bedbugs are crawling out now."
This explanation is reasonable, but if the one in front is copied, then are the drawings and chips under the wooden house also copied?
Everyone's expressions were very ugly, but their hands did not stop digging at the wood. Finally, after a while of searching, they found the flashing red light hidden underground.
Lan Jin took out the IC card again and opened the box. After seeing the blueprints inside, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, the two maps are different, otherwise I really would have felt like I was stuck in a maze."
"Yeah, I was just worried that it was the same, so we still haven't left that vicious circle, fortunately." Otherwise, who knows how many dirty tricks we would have to come up with to break this vicious circle.
The map was given to Captain Zhang, who led the way, while the chip was given to Lan Jin for safekeeping, just like before.
After collecting the chips, everyone set out on their next journey.
…
As they continued moving forward, after blowing up two cabins in succession, they had already collected four chips and four maps and were already exhausted.
The three ordinary people from the professor group who had followed them all the way could not even move their legs.
Seeing that everyone really couldn't move anymore, Captain Zhang said, "Everyone, rest where you are."
At this moment, not only do they need to rest, but they also need to eat. Although their extreme thirst has made them no longer afraid of the unknown virus and they have taken off their thermal insulation suits and started drinking water, there is really no time to eat for a while.
Well, not only is there no one in the team responsible for cooking, they don’t even have any kitchen utensils with them.
Fortunately, everyone has a standard supply of compressed biscuits, so there is no need to worry about starving to death for the time being.
But there was one thing that was very strange. Lan Jin asked, "Have you noticed that since we encountered the cabin, apart from the first batch of bedbugs, we haven't seen any mutant creatures? Also, we've been walking for so long, and we haven't even seen a single member of the team that was taken away. Don't you find it strange?"
Although this dense forest is indeed very large, it is not so large that after so many people were dispersed, even the shadows of people could not be seen.
Although everyone had the same doubts, Captain Zhang calmly said to everyone: "Maolin is strange in the first place. It's the same no matter where you are. And I really don't know much about this Maolin. After all, the Maolin in H City is really different from the one here.
When we were at the H City base, I took you four into that dense forest. We walked all around it to blow it up, but we never saw a cabin like this, and certainly no such terrifying mutants. Although I'm in charge in the absence of the base commander, I'm not the base commander after all, and my authority is limited. I don't know everything."
So don't ask him, he really doesn't know.
Captain Zhang sighed and said, "Believe it or not, I've been kept in the dark about many things. Maybe I know a little more than you do, but it's definitely within the scope of what everyone knows. After all, that's my authority."
Seeing that no one spoke, Lan Jin spoke up, "I didn't say anything. Just put yourself in my shoes. It's normal for me to doubt you. Besides, this mission was originally a mission that involved the merging of many bases. Although we've trained together for two months and have experienced many things on the way here, we haven't been through life and death together. So who can truly trust each other? Let's not talk about anything else now. Let's complete the mission well, survive, and leave each other with a last glimmer of trust."
But okay.
Lan Jin continued, "Captain Zhang, you said before that the base hasn't carried out such a dangerous mission in such a long time. It probably won't happen again in the future. Even if it does, we shouldn't force it to happen."
Captain Zhang choked and explained, "Originally, it wasn't mandatory. Of course, it was semi-mandatory for you, but I wasn't lying to you. The four of you really happened to arrive just in time. As for the mission... well, I can't guarantee you anything. You live in the base, if not to protect others, then to protect yourselves. Shouldn't you take action too? Besides, you don't even know if our base will still be there when you return."
In short, don’t think about anything else first, just finish the task first.
Lan Jin thought about it and realized, "I don't even know what's going to happen when I go back."
Perhaps Lan Jin's expression was too calm, so Captain Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Grandma Ling and Qiao Qiao are still at the base. Aren't you panicking?"
Lan Jin glared at him and said, "It's too late to panic. It's been so long."
Captain Zhang was too lazy to expose Lan Jin. He had already guessed why Lan Jin was not in a hurry. After all, Captain Zhang had received the news that the two men were not in the base as early as when the ship was on the road.
…
After the group had rested enough, they gathered together and studied the map in their hands.
When they got the first three maps, they were able to find the next destination based on the location of the maps. However, after the fourth map appeared, not only was they still unable to find the destination, they had also been wandering around in this area for a long time.
Captain Zhang said, "Could it be that there are only four maps originally, and this is our destination?"
"So what about the things? Now that we have reached the destination, it can be considered as a question of mission. But what about the things? Where are the things we need to bring back?" Lao Gao asked sincerely.
"But we've searched around here and there's nothing there. You can't possibly want us to take these mutated plants back with us," Shen Zhiyan joked.
But Captain Zhang said, "It's not impossible, but I always feel that it's not a mutant plant. Otherwise, wouldn't we have just brought it back from the H City base? The plants here and over there don't look any different to me anyway."
The plants in H City are easier to manage. Not to mention that they can walk down the mountain by themselves, there are also far fewer mutant creatures there.
But at this moment, Huang Jinghe on the side seemed to have discovered the secret on the map. He first picked up the maps one by one and held them above his head to look at them through the light. Then he stacked the four maps together and held them above his head to look at them through the light.
After taking a look at it this way, he really discovered the secret. "Wait a minute, I feel like after these maps are put together, it seems like a new map has appeared. Look, there is a coherent guide map on this map, as if it is pointing us in the right direction."
