Chapter 357: The Secret Path
When Chu Xiaojun heard Liu Tao summarizing the information, his face changed a little.
The four beast tides, including the ninth-level beast king, can be described as horror. All the previous ideas must be invalidated. With the current power of the Miracle City, even if you take a second, you will not have any chance of winning. In addition, the advanced combat powers like Chu Xiaojun and Zhang Yuan are not good.
"It doesn't matter."
But he quickly calmed down and said calmly, "At least it is difficult for those monsters to discover such a deep dungeon. We have time to make a long-term plan."
As he said that, he turned to Tone again: "Sir, how long can the food reserves in the city last now?"
Togne replied: "We use the small sun to grow crops like wheat, and we have sufficient reserves at present and can last at least one or two months.
Chu Xiaojun thought that one or two months had nothing to do with the word "sufficient", but then she thought that the conditions were limited, so she could not calculate the annual grain reserves like in China.
"Okay, since there is still time, I think we should not rush to take action. First observe how the group of monsters behind will act."
Tone immediately agreed: "That's right, we just need to wait here. The city of miracles is deep and they cannot discover them. Just wait for you for a while and the crisis will naturally be lifted."
Xu Ling glanced at the person beside him and saw that Zhang Yuan looked stiff. He was holding back his resentment. It was really difficult for him to let this reckless man who liked to take the initiative to hide in the ground.
But this time Xu Ling couldn't stand on the same side as him. There were too many monsters outside, too high strength, and the gap with his own side was too big. It could not be smoothed out by tactics or courage.
Chu Xiaojun always looks confident, and as the commander, he cannot show anxiety.
Xu Ling said: "Everyone, do you think the situation this time is a bit familiar?"
Zhang Yuan was still holding it in. When he heard this, he tried to divert his attention and actively said, "What does it mean to be familiar? Isn't the beast tide like this?"
But after being reminded, Chu Xiaojun immediately thought of: "No, before the overseas investigation team set off, to be precise, when Syrian first arrived at the border, fourteen groups of beast tides broke into the border."
Silette stared at him blankly: "Is this happening?"
After he was rescued by the border army, he lay on the bed for a long time and naturally knew nothing about the outside world.
Xu Ling smiled and said, "It's true."
Silette said guiltily: "Yes, it should have nothing to do with me, I am just a little chosen one."
Everyone laughed, and Chu Xiaojun pulled the topic back: "Your Highness, is there any way to monitor the movements of the beasts outside from the ground?"
Tone shook his head and smiled bitterly: "With our current ability, it is difficult, it is too far from the ground here."
Xu Ling said: "Didn't you say that you discovered that this underground city was from the residents' cellar before? You also talked about more than one channel connecting the ground now?"
Tone replied: "It has been sealed a long time ago. We are worried that too many passages will be found by the monsters, so we only left one gate and one back door, but the back door is not often used."
“Where is the back door?’
Tone asked someone to take a map and point it on it: "It's this location, the suburbs to the east."
Xu Ling asked Liu Tao again: "Does the beast group mainly be on the periphery of the city?"
The latter looked not very good: “Well, it’s in the suburbs.
Then it will be difficult to get out.
Liu Tao said, "When they went to observe for the second time, they found that a group of beasts was approaching the main entrance. It is estimated that at this time, as long as they open the door, they should be able to see them standing on their faces."
According to the information obtained by the current reconnaissance, the beasts moved from the outer periphery of the city to the middle, perhaps because of the order of this area, and the impulse of living people to instigate bloodthirsty, they instinctively unwilling to enter the city directly.
However, when the dungeon was established, the city was the main battlefield. In order to avoid the monsters, they opened the entrance to the periphery.
So now Xu Ling and others are in a passive state. They may soon encounter monsters when they exit the entrance, which is not safe. Xu Ling thought for a while and said, "Did you keep a map of secret passages leading to the city?"
"Well, if you look for it, you should be able to find it. I remember there is information left behind."
"Okay, then please ask someone to find it out. Let's study it at that time. Is it possible to open a new path so that I can return to the ground to observe the situation."
Chu Xiaojun listened next to him and felt that it was really worry-free. Now that things have come to this point, what Xu Ling said was the most correct decision he thought was, and he secretly made up his mind. Even if Zhu Talan was determined to push him up, he had to stay in his tactical force as much as possible.
He shook his head. It was not the time to think about these messes. He came back to his senses and said, "That's it. Please come and prepare. If possible, prepare the geographical information nearby and all the information about the monsters recorded in recent years.
"Zhang Yuan, go and let everyone enter a state of combat readiness. You must ensure that you can take on the battle at any time, perform three-line rotations, and ensure that there are people on duty 24 hours a day."
Zhang Yuan and Tone hurriedly went to do their own things.
The remaining people stayed and continued to discuss. Although the current situation was temporarily safe, they were not as optimistic as Tone. Especially Xu Ling, he always felt that since this incident was similar to the invasion of fourteen beast tides, these monsters were likely not to disperse soon.
"I was thinking, it seems that every time we want to move forward, the monsters in the occupied areas will experience large-scale abnormal movements.
After hearing this, Chu Xiaojun nodded involuntarily: "Maybe this is true, but there are too few samples, and you can't confirm the rules twice. You can react afterwards. Now you should focus on the present."
After a while, Tonie's men brought a very thick stack of information back, and everyone began to deal with it separately. Xu Ling was specifically responsible for checking the closed secret passage maps.
He also took a pair of maps of the past and current topographic maps of the city to compare them to different locations after going up the secret passages.
"Sir, I think these secret passages with numbers 3, 13, and 25 can be found to clear them. From these places is the center of the city. The monsters are relatively sparse and the terrain is complex to operate. Do you have any objections to this?"
"No objection, no objection, you have the final say."
Tone knew the current affairs very well and knew who was the thigh, "But you really want to go up?"
Xu Ling said: "It must be. If these monsters do not leave, we must also plan to stay underground for a long time. Then the energy supply in the Miracle City must be hunted by hunting monsters."
"All right."
Tone still looked a little guilty, but he still ordered people to investigate the secret passages and prepared to cooperate to open up several roads to the center of the city.
They have some unique mechanical technologies here, such as the kind of logging machine with crawlers. Soon, workers drilled out three passages in the three secret passages mentioned by Xu Ling.
The workers came to ask, "The first adult, there are still a few meters to dig through the ground. Let's confirm that we really need to do this?"
They didn't know what was going on outside, and they just felt that the secret passage that had been closed for many years was about to be opened again, which might bring some danger to the Miracle City.
