In the past, at this point, the entire base had already implemented a curfew, and except for the patrol team, it was impossible for anyone to walk outside.
But the past few days at the Kengtou base were destined to be sleepless nights. Whether it was the troops in the battle order or ordinary personnel, they couldn't sleep with their hearts in their throats.
If the previous official leaflets and announcements caused huge waves in the base and triggered heated discussions behind closed doors, then the daytime bombing sounded the death knell for the entire base, making everyone feel the official determination and the entire The sense of crisis in the crumbling base is accelerating.
Some people really can't figure it out. The official announcement obviously has no malicious intent and can even be said to be very polite. Why don't the senior officials of the pit head base respond positively?
Is it true, as the announcement said, that someone inside the Kengtou base has defected to the alien race? Worked for the alien race? Betrayed the entire human camp?
At first, some people openly questioned it.
But soon people discovered that those who openly questioned and clamored the most fiercely disappeared inexplicably and never appeared again.
There are tens of thousands of people in the base. Maybe some people were temporarily recruited and went to other places. But such precise disappearance cannot be explained by temporary recruitment.
To put it bluntly, who among the people who can live to this day is not a human spirit? Who can not understand this matter? After understanding it, even if you are a big mouth, you have to keep your mouth shut.
If you talk about being happy, can you change the reality? It can't be changed. Instead, it will disappear inexplicably.
This method of blocking people's mouths can actually make people shut up, but people's hearts become more anxious and panicked.
The leader of the Taurus regiment, who was holding the protective talisman, also threw away his arms and did it. He first moved his trusted team out of the original defense zone in the name of changing defense.
Then another battalion belonging to the Golden Bear Regiment was transferred out of the core area.
The Ksitigarbha Protector is originally in charge of base affairs, and can be said to have the military and political power. In matters of defense, the Ksitigarbha Protector has the final say. With the guardian talisman on the move, there will naturally be no resistance to the mobilization of the team. Or even no resistance at all. What would people doubt.
Another reason why Captain Jinniu is so unscrupulous is that the official people told him that at this moment, Tiangang should be healing the Qingfeng protector.
Tonight is the period of power vacuum in the entire Kengtou base.
The Tiangang boss was healing Qingfeng's protector, and it was impossible for these two people to show up. Even their subordinates did not dare to disturb him easily. After all, once such a major event as retreat and healing was interrupted, the backlash would be extremely terrifying.
If it is not a matter of life and death, or a matter of survival, it must not be disturbed at will.
The Ksitigarbha Protector has been controlled and cannot come out to disrupt the situation. So using the Ksitigarbha Protector's protective talisman to show off his power is simply unimpeded and unimpeded.
Things went much smoother than Captain Taurus imagined.
The most important thing is that with the talisman of Ksitigarbha Protector, no matter what actions or measures are taken, there will be sufficient reasons.
And now the reason of Captain Jinniu is to inspect the defense of the entire base to see if there are any loopholes that can be exploited by the authorities.
Is there any more valid reason than this?
Who dares to question? The Ksitigarbha Protector’s command talisman is here. Who can still question the decision of the Ksitigarbha Protector? Besides, the safer the base defense is, the better. The Taurus Group is willing to take the initiative to work overtime to provide an insurance for the base’s defense. , what is there to object to? Not only should we not object, but we should also be happy about it.
It's much easier to do if you have a legitimate reason for action.
On the official side, Wang Xiawei circled so many times over the Kengtou base during the day, and they also pointed out several areas with more doubts and higher possibilities.
These key areas are most likely where the eight gates of the formation are located.
Although the details cannot be locked yet, as long as you inspect it in person, you will definitely know that this formation is not invisible. You can tell it by looking closely.
After all, this was not the first time they had dealt with the strange tree, and they were no strangers to the eight formations.
The most important thing is that Qianmen is the key eye of the formation. No matter how well it is hidden, the intensity and activity of the surrounding spiritual power will never be hidden to the extent that there is no fluctuation.
To put it bluntly, when you are at high altitude, you cannot feel the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations because the distance is too far, but ground reconnaissance is another matter.
Captain Jinniu led his team and planned a patrol route. In fact, this patrol route was drawn up by Han Jingjing and the others.
Keep a close eye on the key suspect areas and try to avoid detours.
When they arrived near the second key suspect area, Han Jingjing and others intuitively felt that this place was different.
Not just intuition, every detail has a sense of déjà vu.
"Probably... it should be here." Han Jingjing and others looked at each other to confirm their eyes. Everyone's reaction was almost similar.
If not one person, but everyone feels this way, then it is definitely not wrong.
"Captain Niu, this is where it is." He Jin reminded Captain Taurus in a low voice.
Captain Jinniu had some luck in his heart. What if it was an official misjudgment and in fact there was no weird tree formation in the pit head base?
If this is the case, does it mean that the Kengtou base can still make peace with the authorities without having a war?
But this was a fluke, and he also knew that there was little hope. Even if the official didn't have concrete measures, they still had basic judgment.
Sure enough, when He Jin told him that the formation was here, Captain Jinniu's last thoughts completely dissipated.
This means that the Kengtou base is in collusion with the Weird Tree, and the Tiangang boss is the agent of the Weird Tree. He has defected to the alien race and betrayed the entire human camp.
This means that their battle with Tiangang is inevitable!
Just as Captain Jinniu was about to ask, He Jin whispered again: "Be careful, there are many hidden sentries and guards here. Someone will come to ask questions soon. You can deal with it first and don't expose yourself for the time being."
For the outside world, this place is not a passage into the base, nor is it a key fortress. There is no need to arrange manpower garrison at all.
Even if it is a patrol, this place is probably just a formality. After all, no matter from any angle, this place does not make sense to be heavily guarded.
If this place is heavily guarded, it means that there is really something wrong with this place, and it may really be the location of the formation.
Thinking of this, the head of the Taurus group was awe-inspiring.
Sure enough, not long after, several figures shot out from the darkness. Each of these people had cold expressions and unkind faces. They stopped in front of the Taurus group and shouted displeasedly: "What do you do? Who are you doing in the middle of the night?"
Let you wander around?"
Captain Jinniu wears a golden robe, and his identity is self-evident. Even a fool should know that he is the envoy in golden robes and the identity of a high-ranking official in the base.
These people obviously knew the golden-robed envoy, but they turned a blind eye. Instead, they shouted coldly and asked with great airs, which seemed to mean that they did not take Captain Jinniu seriously.
Is Captain Taurus a vegetarian?
He shouted: "Bold! Which department do you belong to? What are you doing hiding here in the middle of the night? Are you so blind that you don't even recognize me?"
In name, this place is not a defense area. Since it is not a defense area, these people are hiding here, at least not on the surface.
Since it was not an explicit arrangement, Captain Jinniu naturally had enough reasons to scold them. Even though the origins of these people were very mysterious, they might be Tiangang's confidants.
But so what? Before his identity was announced, his status as leader of the Taurus Group was higher than these people!
Even if his identity is revealed, the golden-robed envoy is still the golden-robed envoy, and he is nominally the senior leader of the base. Since he is patrolling the base's defense under the orders of Ksitigarbha Protector, he is fair and aboveboard wherever he goes, so why should he be timid?
Those people frowned.
It's really inconvenient to announce their identities, and it's also inconvenient to state the reasons why they are here. But this does not mean that they will be kicked out by the leader of the Taurus.
One of them, seemingly the leader of these people, looked at Captain Taurus with a strange smile.
"It turns out to be Mr. Niu. I'm disrespectful. But now that the enemy is facing us, as a golden robe messenger, shouldn't Mr. Niu be preparing for battle in his own defense area? How can he lead people to run around in this wilderness?"
"How outrageous!" Captain Jinniu's confidant, the silver-robed messenger, couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "My Lord Niu, under the order of Lord Protector, is conducting a comprehensive inspection of the base's defense, checking for loopholes in the defense to avoid being infiltrated by the enemy. You guys are so sneaky.
, he is dressed in a nondescript manner, but which battalion is he from? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"
After thinking about it, the silver-robed messenger's tone became stern: "Show me your identity certificate. I suspect that you have unknown origins and may be spies infiltrated by the enemy!"
Those people couldn't help but laugh.
The leader-like figure from before said coldly: "Master Niu, we are soldiers under the command of Tiangang boss, and we are ordered to carry out secret missions. There is nothing to be wary of spies here. We will be responsible for the safety of this area. If you are interested, you can do it now
Evacuate, I will pretend that nothing happened. Remember, you are not allowed to come here in the future, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Listen carefully, judging from the other party's tone, he really doesn't take the Taurus Group seriously. Even the leader of the Taurus Group is nothing more than that in his eyes.
Even inside and outside the words, no emotion was spared.
The person he was calling was Mr. Niu, but these words did not take Captain Jinniu seriously at all.
If you are a coward, if the other party claims to be a personal soldier under Tiangang Boss, you may be very timid and give in involuntarily.
But Captain Jinniu knew that he couldn't be cowardly, and he couldn't be cowardly. If he really wanted to retreat obediently, I'm afraid these people would be suspicious.
At that moment, he laughed angrily: "Big brother Tiangang is a pro-army man? What proof do you have?"
"As one of the four leaders of the base, there are only three people who can give orders to me. Needless to say the Tiangang boss, the only ones left are the guardians around Qizang Qingfeng. Don't say you can't prove that you are the Tiangang boss.
My subordinates, even if it is true, in what name are you giving me orders? I inspect the base's defense, and there is no place in the entire base that I cannot go to, but you are hiding here and don't allow me to investigate, there must be fraud!"
"Come on, surround this place. No living person is allowed to escape. My captain suspects that they are probably the enemy's spies who have infiltrated here and are hiding here to peek into the secrets of my base. They may be detrimental to my base at any time!"
Playing tricks, the leader of the Taurus team will not lose to anyone.
Who is more powerful than who? What happened to Tiangang's pro-army forces? Don't say that I, Lao Niu, have surrendered to the officialdom. Even if I am still the leader of the base's Taurus regiment, how can I coddle you self-righteous brats? Even if you are really from Tiangang.
, who gave you the courage to give me orders and even threaten me?
Those people were obviously used to being arrogant. They thought that after revealing their identity, the people from the Taurus Group would leave obediently. Unexpectedly, the other party not only refused to accept their behavior, but actually wanted to surround the place.
This really pissed off these arrogant warriors!
"Niu, you don't know what's good and what's wrong! Are you really rebellious and want to betray the Tiangang boss?"
"Fart, I'm inspecting the base's defense under the orders of Protector Ksitigarbha! If you don't reveal your identity and act recklessly, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Okay, okay, Niu, you have the guts. I want to see how dare you and how rude you can be!"
The leader of the Taurus Regiment solemnly said: "All of them are here, surround them! If they can't provide proof of identity, they must be enemy spies. Every one of them will be counted. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
Now that we have reached this point, it is natural that Captain Jinniu will not be able to play any roundabout ways with them.
The steps have been given to you, asking you to show your identification, but you turned a blind eye and broke the rules, so don't blame me for being disrespectful.
Even if it means taking action, I will be justified!
Seeing the murderous Taurus regiment consisting of hundreds of people, those few people's faces were ashen, obviously they couldn't believe that the leader of the Taurus regiment was so tough.
The leader had a dark face and stared at the Taurus leader.
"Captain Niu, do you really want to intensify the conflict and make enemies of each other?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll count to ten. If within ten, if you don't show your identification or tell the reason why you are sneaking around here, I will treat you as a gangster and kill you all!"
"ten!"
The leader of the Taurus team made a loud noise and started counting heavily.
He raised one hand, five fingers stood up, and one of the fingers bent down again, which meant that one of the ten numbers had been counted.
"Nine!"
His face was expressionless and he continued to count down coldly.
The current situation looks like a battle for identity, but in fact it is more like a battle for face. The pro-Tiangang army wants to outdo the Taurus Group in terms of momentum and face.
However, the Taurus Regiment does not believe in evil and is determined to handle business affairs. They will never accept verbal threats and will not be intimidated by the reputation of being pro-military.
The situation fell into a stalemate, but the countdown of the Taurus leader continued as coldly as iron.
When he counted to three, the man opposite sneered: "Okay, okay, Commander Niu, you're being cruel. Here's your ID, just check it."
"However, I want to remind you, what happened today and the trouble you caused, don't regret it when you look back!"
