My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 302: Wasteland Edition: Lurk and Search
Pei Shao had three people under his command. When collecting information for the first time, Su Mo added three more people.
A total of seven people.
For a village with only 150 people, it is already a lot to invest seven people in intelligence work.
If Zhong Qingshu, a marginal person, was added, there would be as many as eight people.
Even without any experience, relying on carpet-like observation, would a team of alien races with a possible number of 20,000 people be so invisible?
But the fact is that after Su Mo asked, not only Pei Shao did not speak, but Zhong Qingshu, who was a young expert in intelligence gathering, also showed deep thought.
"Twenty thousand aliens, that's not two hundred, two thousand!"
"A total of 20,000, and the supplies consumed every day are counted in hundreds of units. You can't find such a team!"
Seeing that Su Mo was a little angry, Pei Shao finally couldn't bear the pressure, and said with an extremely ugly face:
"Boss, it's really not that our people didn't look for it, nor was it infiltrated by aliens. These days, they drive land tigers and run all over the place within a radius of 200 kilometers."
"I even secretly withdrew supplies and bought a recording pen to put in the car, but I didn't find any problems with our people"
"Within these two hundred kilometers, there is really no sign of a foreign race, let alone human figures, even the food scraps they left behind after marching, I couldn't find a single one"
After speaking, Pei Shao directly took out a huge map from the storage space and spread it out on the table in the conference room.
On this map, all the terrain within a range of 200 kilometers is completely drawn with the underground shelter as the center.
From the ups and downs of the terrain to the iconic identification objects, all the four places in the southeast, north and south are clearly marked.
Even if you are a layman, standing here and looking at this map, you can know how much effort has been put into it.
Moreover, on this map, there are dozens of exploration lines marked with arrows.
These lines are the routes traveled by the intelligence team these days, basically covering all places within 200 kilometers.
"Boss, I have driven over to see everything that has been marked on this map, and I have never seen a single feather of a bird!"
As if he was afraid that Su Mo would not believe it, Pei Shao continued to speak out with grievances, and began to explain the terrain and what he saw and heard one by one starting from the 30th kilometer.
Since eight days ago, after receiving Sumo's request for an investigation mission, all the work in the intelligence organization has been put down.
There is an alien race near the village!
The number may be around 20,000!
This is Su Mo's original words. After hearing it at the time, if Pei Shao was not an old soldier, he would probably be so scared that he would pee his pants on the spot.
Good guy, with so many alien races surrounding us, what's the use of investigating other information?
If you can't figure out where the enemy is for one day, you may wake up the next day, and they will be standing at your door.
For this reason, after Su Mote approved the right to use the ground tiger, the intelligence team drove the car and started the survey within 100 kilometers around Hope Village.
For three days, I drove in rotation.
Except for the necessary meal time, everyone will stop the car to eat dry food, and the rest of the time is either on the road or carefully looking for traces on the ground.
Pei Shao is an old intelligence soldier who has undergone professional training, so he knows the importance of time in this situation.
Therefore, the seven-person intelligence team wandered around the wasteland for four days and four nights without sleep, and used wheels and footsteps to measure within a hundred kilometers in a daze.
However, the result is...
Nothing found!
Not to mention the traces of 20,000 aliens, even the spies of aliens have not seen a single one.
However, after the 100 kilometers, what made the intelligence team continue to investigate was not Su Mo's firm tone, but the "abnormal" in the normal.
In this hundred kilometers, although no traces of alien races were found, the same, whether it was ordinary animals or mutated creatures, all disappeared.
Since Sumo notified that there was an alien army, except for the life in the depression, other places seemed to be dead, and the silence made people feel scared.
On the fifth day, after spending half a day reporting on all the explorations, the people in the intelligence team slept for a long time, and taking advantage of the darkness, the ground tiger set off again.
This time, not only the group of seven, but even Zhong Qingshu joined in, and a group of eight began to explore 100 to 200 kilometers.
With experience, the speed of exploration is much faster this time.
In just three days and three nights, he not only explored all the places within 200 kilometers, but also explored tens of hundreds of kilometers in several general directions where there might be ambushes.
The exploration team came back in the early hours of yesterday, but the result was as disappointing as ever.
"Have you explored all these directions?"
Pointing to the trend of the plains on the map, after receiving a firm nod from Pei Shao, Su Mo frowned as he sat at the table.
The group attack of alien races was detected when the panel of the lioness Connie was bound for the first time.
At first, Su Mo didn't pay much attention to the news.
After all, the current firepower of the underground shelter has reached a higher level, and a basic battle line has also been constructed.
Based on this battle line, let alone one or two foreign teams, even if there are three or five thousand teams, Su Mo will not be afraid.
But that's where the problem lies...
Eight days ago in the morning, when Su Mo connected to Connie's panel to check again as usual, he suddenly saw something strange on the World Channel.
In the past, when chatting with other races, even in the most deserted time, Sumo would be mentioned a few times from time to time, showing a sense of fear.
But today, what is surprising is that several races who were once afraid of Suma actually "jumped" up and made a lot of nonsense on the world channel.
This small change may have been let go in the eyes of others, but Su Mo's keen sense of smell suddenly smelled something bad.
Then, after observing for nearly an hour, after summarizing all the sentences with Sumo...
A big problem is coming!
The aliens are really not afraid. They got some news during the time Su Mo didn't check.
It was these news that made them courageous.
Immediately, Sumo, who felt a huge threat, took the risk and did something.
Contact Clark!
It is naturally more difficult for an ordinary foreigner to become a friend of the royal family, but after having the identity of a foreigner in the depression, it is extremely easy and simple.
By taking advantage of his identity, after adding friends who revealed some irrelevant information about the lowlands, Sumo, who turned into the lioness Connie, finally established a basic connection with Clark.
After a short conversation, Su Mo not only knew the reason why other alien races no longer have the slightest fear of him, but also got an important news that even other alien races did not know!
Twenty thousand!
There are a total of 20,000 foreign races who want to attack near the depression, and there are three races with a strength score of more than 1.
Compared to the 0.003 of the Lioness, this number is amazing enough.
At this moment, no matter how hard Sumo was, he didn't dare to just sit still and wait for the army of foreign races to attack.
After the front foot promised Clark that he would quickly withdraw from the depression within 200 kilometers, Sumo informed the news on the back foot.
So, the intelligence team set off!
Two inspections, 200 kilometers, according to the route led by Pei Shao, almost all of them have been run within 200 kilometers, if there is no trace of aliens...
Clark cheating?
In the conference room that can accommodate more than 20 people, as Su Mo meditated and Pei Shao explained, all the scenes within 200 kilometers gradually formed a three-dimensional picture in the minds of the three.
The terrain outside the depression, as early as in the ruins of time, Sumo had seen a complete circle.
Going out from the depression, the terrain presents a north-south trend, with the south side high and the north side low. Under such terrain, if you want to hide a team of 20,000 people, there are only two places.
The first place, during several geological activities, gradually stretched out a large rift valley of nearly 200 kilometers in the depression 120 kilometers to the north.
At the end of the rift near the depression, the water depth is 26 meters, and once entering the rift, the water depth will reach 52 meters.
Moreover, there are many rocky hills of about 10 to 20 meters around this rift valley. In the future, Suma will go to the direction of the tundra refuge. close contact with the earth and rock mountains.
If the foreign race can see where Sumo left, then this place is the easiest place to set up an ambush and also the easiest place to hide.
In the second place, one hundred and thirty-five kilometers to the south, there is a large natural underground cave with jagged rocks and many twists and turns.
If the aliens don't know that Sumo is going to find his sister, but go to the New World, the cave here can fully accommodate 20,000 aliens, which is an excellent place to hide and sneak attack.
But it's a pity that under Su Mo's emphasis, even if Pei Shao and his group crossed the entire Great Rift Valley and explored a small half of the cave on foot, they never saw traces of the alien race, let alone the alien race. .
This time, after the two big points that can be explored are gone, the rest of the place will be hard to find.
After the 40-minute explanation, after Pei Shao finally finished talking about the last place, the conference room that could accommodate twenty or thirty people fell silent.
Su Mo was meditating, Zhong Qingshu was also meditating, only Pei Shao was left with a bitter face, looking out of the window from time to time, wondering what he was thinking.
For old scouts, there are only three possibilities for finding no trace of the enemy...
First, there is no enemy at all, the information we received is false
Second, the enemy's lurking methods are extremely high, and the current method alone cannot detect the specific location of the enemy
Third, the enemy is not in position yet, and is still in the process of coming. The radius of the investigation is not enough, and naturally the opponent cannot be found
"Now ~IndoMTL.com~ we should no longer worry about whether this alien race is real, or whether someone else is trying to deceive us"
"There is indeed an anomaly near the depression!"
After being silent for a long time, Zhong Qingshu, who had been thinking about it, finally spoke, and immediately denied the first possibility.
There is no trace of any biological activity within 200 kilometers of the depression, which is abnormal.
Even if there are no enemies, this is enough to make people suspicious. It is necessary to find out why.
"As for whether this large number of alien races are on their way, or have they already lurked"
"I'm more inclined to ... the latter!"
"But in terms of quantity, maybe our early judgment went the wrong way!"
"Oh?"
Seeing that Zhong Qingshu was about to make a well-founded inference, Su Mo immediately sat up straight and raised his attention.
