Chapter 288 is worth a try!
Chapter 288 is worth a try!
"Installing weird stuff?"
Hearing this, Cang Nian became suspicious.
"Ow~!"
Then, he called out to Yichen, asking him to ask about some more details.
If possible, he naturally wouldn't want to take a detour.
Given the height of this mountain range, it should be able to withstand a lot of cold air from the north.
Therefore, the temperature will definitely rise significantly after passing through the pass blocked by this military fortress.
Moreover, it's right across from a peninsula, surrounded by the sea!
On the one hand, the abundance of seawater is a great way to keep warm, so coastal areas won't get too cold.
On the other hand, according to the evolutionary theory he had previously derived, the more intense the ecological competition, the higher the average level of evolution.
Therefore, barring unforeseen circumstances, the evolutionary level of marine ecosystems should be significantly higher than that of terrestrial ecosystems.
Land is ultimately just a two-dimensional plane, while the ocean is a vast, multi-layered, three-dimensional biosphere.
Moreover, the ocean was able to nurture creatures of considerable size, such as various whales, even before the spiritual energy revived.
After the spiritual energy revival, the evolved creatures in the ocean will inevitably be of astonishing size!
In order to maintain its leading position in evolution, Cangnian felt that it was necessary to reach the near-shore area as soon as possible.
Otherwise, they might dominate the land, unaware of the terrifying creatures lurking in the ocean that could crush the land.
That would be too dangerous.
Moreover, as they approach adulthood and advance in their evolutionary level, there are very few evolved creatures on land that are heavier than them.
To rapidly evolve the kill-type skills, the ocean, this endless hunting ground, is the only option.
"You mean, that guy controlled so many people not through his own efforts, but by using external means and tricks?"
Following Cangnian's instructions, Yichen tentatively asked.
"That's right! It's a metal box, and we don't know what's inside."
But when you move it, you can feel liquid sloshing around inside.
We were instructed to carry out such orders and place them in every part of the military camp.
Furthermore, it requires us to periodically replenish it with a translucent, light red liquid.
This is definitely a tactic he uses to control us!
If he could do it himself, there would be no need for him to go through all that trouble!
Seeing that Yichen was interested, the soldier quickly spoke up.
"How many of those devices are there in the military camps?"
Qin Changyi, who was standing to the side, asked in a deep voice.
"I'm not entirely sure, but there are at least a thousand, maybe even ten thousand!"
The soldier recalled and estimated.
"If that's the case, then it makes sense..."
The price ranges from a thousand to ten thousand, depending on whether it's a control base station.
One person only needs to control one hundred people, at most one thousand.
Therefore, the actual power of the mastermind behind this might not be as terrifying as we thought.
Yi Chen stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
"If that's the case, then we can give it a try."
If these base station-like devices are destroyed, the other side will be unable to maintain control over so many people.
If the influence is only applied to one thousand to ten thousand targets, then the true strength of the mastermind behind this might be at the fourth rank, or even lower…
Cang Nian nodded to himself in thought.
"Ouch~!"
After thinking it through, Cangnian quickly made a decision and expressed his thoughts to Yichen.
If that's the case, then we can give it a try!
Moreover, there's no time to lose; it's best to go now!
……
Late at night, in a military camp.
Under the spatial gate of the little sable, Cangnian and his group bypassed the military camp walls and entered a secluded corner of the camp.
The members of this operation were only Cangnian, Tiger Dad, Tiger Mom, Tiger Brother, Little Sable, Little Snow Sable, Yichen, Qin Changyi, Bai Jue, and Zhang Fan.
Because the opponent is likely a fourth-tier evolver, and it can be confirmed that they are a mental-type evolver, the participants in the operation must be elites.
Before the operation, the action plan and procedures had been discussed and agreed upon, so there was no need for further communication. The evolved creatures and evolved beings dispersed to complete their respective tasks.
"This should be one of those base station-type devices, right..."
Based on the images drawn from the captured soldiers' memories using that equipment, Cang Nian easily found a small box with sides of 40 centimeters.
Qin Changyi, his father, and his mother were all graduates of police academy.
However, only Qin Changyi continued working in his field of study, while Yi's father inherited the family business and achieved great success. Yi's mother had been in a relationship with Yi's father since college and became a wealthy housewife.
During her university years, Yi Mu majored in criminal profiling at the police academy.
The job involves drawing a sketch of the suspect's appearance based on descriptions from victims or those with relevant information.
For Yi Mu, drawing a small object with a regular shape was incredibly simple.
After confirming that it was this thing, Yichen took off the bag on his body, took out a pine cone from it, and placed it next to the small box without directly touching it.
He wasn't sure if the mastermind behind it all could use this device to sense the surrounding area.
However, no matter what, the other party is still a human being.
Humans need rest and sleep. At least at this stage, evolved beings are better at staying up all night than ordinary people, but they cannot go without sleep for a long time.
It's late at night, so the other side probably isn't monitoring the military camp all the time.
After placing the pine cone properly, Cangnian continued his search for a new "base station".
These are high-explosive pine cones from pine trees, with a destructive power comparable to high-explosive hand grenades.
In order to eliminate as many "base stations" as possible at once, the detonations must be performed simultaneously.
Otherwise, if we destroy some of them first to alert the other side, we will face a terrifying counterattack.
For mental evolutionists, mental impact skills are secondary.
If he were to command an army to wipe out the invaders, that would be troublesome.
At that point, it will be extremely difficult to destroy other "base stations".
Fortunately, these "base stations" are not hard to find.
Basically, they are all placed openly on the ground.
However, Cangnian observed that there were several pipes running underneath these small boxes.
After taking a closer look, he noticed that the pipes were slightly hot, which meant they were probably heating pipes.
Ignoring such a trivial matter, Cangnian carefully placed high-explosive pine cones next to all the "base stations" he found.
Soon, Tiger Dad and the others, along with Yichen and the others, all gathered together.
In a secluded corner where no one noticed, they checked the numbers and found that the total number of "base stations" exceeded six thousand.
"Even if this isn't all of them, it's probably the majority..."
"In that case, let's begin!"
Having confirmed the number, Cangnian turned to look at the little ferret.
Zhizhi~!
The little ferret chirped softly twice, then closed its eyes and focused on activating its superpower.
Meanwhile, inside each of the previously placed high-explosive pine cones, a small insect outlined in dark lines was struggling frantically, baring its fangs and claws to cause destruction.
boom--! ! !
Almost simultaneously, an explosion suddenly shattered and roared through the military camp!
