Chapter 1404 The location of Qianmen

Late at night.

In the past, at this point, the entire base had already implemented a curfew. Except for the patrol team, it was impossible for anyone to walk outside.

But these days at the Kengtou base are destined to be sleepless nights. Regardless of whether they were soldiers in combat order or ordinary people, 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 that, as the notice said, someone inside the Kengtou base has defected to the alien race? Working for a foreign race? Betray the entire human camp?

At first, there were public doubts.

But soon people discovered that those who openly questioned and shouted the loudest disappeared inexplicably and never appeared again.

There are tens of thousands of people at the base, and perhaps some of them were temporarily recruited and went to other places. But such a precise disappearance cannot be explained by temporary recruitment.

To put it bluntly, who can live to this day is not a human being? Who can figure this out? After thinking about it, even if you have a big mouth, you have to keep it shut.

If you say you are happy, can it change the reality? Can't change. Instead, they will disappear without any reason.

This method of blocking people's mouths can actually make people shut up, but people's hearts become more anxious and panicked.

Captain Taurus, who was holding a protective talisman, also spread his arms and did it. He first moved his trusted team away from the original defense zone in the name of changing defense.

Then another battalion belonging to the Golden Bear Regiment was transferred away from the core area.

The Ksitigarbha protector was originally in charge of the affairs of the base, and could be said to hold the military and political power. In matters of defense, Ksitigarbha protector has the final say. With the guardian talisman on the move, there will naturally be no resistance to mobilizing the team. No one even suspected anything.

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 power vacuum period in the entire pit head base.

The Tiangang boss was treating Qingfeng's injuries, and it was impossible for these two people to show up. Even their men didn't dare to disturb him easily. After all, if something as important as retreat and healing is interrupted, the backlash will 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 Ksitigarbha's protective talisman to act like a fox or a tiger, it is simply invincible and unimpeded.

Things went much smoother than Captain Jinniu imagined.

The most important thing is that with the talisman of the Ksitigarbha protector, no matter what actions or measures are taken, there are 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 will be exploited by the authorities.

Is there any more valid reason than this?

Who dares to question? Ksitigarbha Protector’s talisman is here, who can question the decision of 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 insurance for the base's defense. What's there to object to? Not only should we not object, we should also be happy.

Having a legitimate reason for action is much easier.

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 specific details cannot be locked, as long as you go to investigate in person, this formation is definitely not invisible. You can tell it just by looking closer.

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 the team and planned a patrol route. In fact, this inspection route was formulated by Han Jingjing and others.

Keep a close eye on those 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 for confirmation. Everyone's reaction was almost similar.

If not one person, but everyone feels this way, then there is nothing wrong with it.

"Captain Niu, this is where it is." He Jin reminded Captain Taurus in a low voice.

Deep down in his heart, Captain Jinniu also had some luck. 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 he also knew that there was little hope for this lucky break. Even if there is no official confirmation, the basic judgment is still there.

Sure enough, when He Jin told him that the formation was here, the last thoughts of Captain Jinniu 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 about it soon. You can deal with it first and don't be exposed for the time being."

To the outside world, this place is not a passage into the base, nor is it a key fortress. There was no need to arrange manpower garrison at all.

Even if it's a patrol, this place is probably just a formality. After all, no matter how you look at it, this place doesn't 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 was wearing a golden robe, and his identity was self-evident. Even if he is a fool, he should know that he is the golden robe messenger and the identity of the base's top brass.

These people obviously knew the golden robe envoy, but they turned a blind eye. Instead, they shouted coldly and asked with great airs, which seemed to mean that they didn't take Captain Jinniu seriously.

Is Captain Taurus a vegetarian?

shouted: "How brave! 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 zone. Since it is not a defense zone, 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 are very mysterious, they may 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 messenger is still the golden-robed messenger, and he is nominally the top brass of the base. Since he was inspecting the base defense under the orders of Protector Ksitigarbha, he acted openly and honestly wherever he went, so why should he be timid?

Those people frowned.

It is really inconvenient to announce their identities, and it is equally inconvenient to state clearly the reasons why they are here. But this does not mean that they will be kicked off by the Taurus leader.

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 orders 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 , dressed in a nondescript manner, but which battalion are they from? Why do they 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 the soldiers under Tiangang's command, 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 treat it as if 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 team was nothing more than that in his eyes.

Even inside and outside the words, no emotion was spared.

The person who 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 will probably be timid and give in involuntarily.

But Captain Jinniu knew that he couldn't be cowardly, and he couldn't be cowardly. If you really want to retreat obediently, I'm afraid these people will become 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 spies from the enemy who are hiding here to peek into the secrets of my base. They may be detrimental to my base at any time!"

Playing tricks, the Taurus leader will not lose to anyone.

Who is more powerful than whom? What happened to Tiangang's pro-army troops? 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, or even threaten me?

Those people were obviously used to being arrogant. They thought that after revealing their identities, the people from the Taurus Group would obediently leave. Unexpectedly, the other party not only refused to accept their tactics, but also wanted to surround the place.

This really pissed off these proud soldiers!

"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 you dare and how rude you can be!"

The leader of the Taurus Corps solemnly said: "Everyone is 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 the conversation has reached this point, it is naturally impossible for Captain Jinniu 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. 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!"

"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, indicating that one of the ten numbers had been counted.

"Nine!"

He had no expression on his face and 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 Tiangang pro-army wanted to overwhelm the Taurus group in terms of momentum and reputation.

The Taurus Regiment does not believe in evil, and is determined to do business with justice. They will never accept verbal threats, nor will they 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 is your identity card, 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!"
