Chapter 401 Coincidence
"Okay, OK, OK."
Zhu Talan said three good words, which shows how excited he was at this time. "I originally wanted you to go and discover the truth, but I didn't expect that I could catch the prisoners back and save a prisoner. Xu Ling, take it over, find out the conclusion and take it to the command center."
Xu Ling is the commander-in-chief of the investigation team. He was responsible for the discovery of new species, and naturally he took over the bodies of the monsters he captured and brought back.
He took the things back and directly found Li Xian, a special expert who had been incorporated into the investigation team.
"Li Te, I'll hand over the stuff to you. I'll copy the impact of recording the terminal later."
After saying that, he instructed Xie Yilang again, "Did you see that the person with a claw on his left hand? You must accompany him throughout the process when Li Te was studying. The strength of that thing is not much worse than mine."
Xu Ling said this a bit exaggerated. Now he roughly understood that the Eagle Claw monster has two aspects: one is the thin sword that can cut out the invisible blade wind, and the other is the Eagle Claw in the left hand.
The functions of these two things are very similar. They are both super-strong weapons that can stimulate special forces.
But apart from this, he had no more means. At most, he had strong physical fitness. For example, Xu Ling's sword control technique, Jiuxuan Transformation, etc., it was completely impossible to master it.
Therefore, in fact, the strength of that weird person is still somewhat different from that of Xu Ling. His overall combat power is at most early 6.0, and he deliberately said it very exaggeratedly, just to attract Xie Yilang's attention.
After all, experts like Li Xian are not warriors. If you let the weirdo break free or have other accidents during the research process, then the responsibility will be great.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xie Yilang's expression immediately became serious, and stood behind Li Xian, looking like a close guard.
Li Xian smiled and nodded at Xu Ling: "If there is any progress, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Xu Ling politely said, "I'll go to the command center to see what information the rescued humans can give."
After saying that, he stepped away.
Looking at his distant figure, Li Xian felt a little moved.
When he first met this young man in the military headquarters, he was a newcomer to the overseas investigation team. He had just been appointed as captain. After just a few years, he is now a colonel. He could never have imagined this speed.
When Xu Ling came to the medical account of the command center, he found that the senior officers were almost gathered here. It seemed that they were very concerned about the human prisoner who was rescued.
He asked first: "Boss, is there any movement in the pass? Have those monsters chased out?"
"No, it's very calm. Even the monsters that were reconnaissance are no longer coming out."
Zhu Talan replied, "But it will be difficult for us to cross the pass at this time. They must be prepared for them. Let's see how much information the monsters they caught and the rescued humans can give us."
Xu Ling nodded and was surrounded by Zhang Yuan's generals before he could speak again.
"Xiao Xu, I heard that you caught that monster again? You kid are very good at captives."
"Hahaha, who said no? At the time, at Curry Wush, most of the prisoners in Immortal City were captured by him."
"Hey, if you have time, please help me see if Lao Zhang's wife is opposite them, the one named Wang is apart. If so, you should catch that guy too."
"Get out! Your wife has an affair with the neighbor."
Everyone seemed to be chatting and fucking, but in fact they were waiting for the human prisoner in the medical tent to wake up. When Chu Xiaojun saved him, the situation was urgent. In order to avoid any trouble, he knocked him out and put it on his shoulder and carried it back. At this moment, the medical soldier was conducting an examination of his body.
However, judging from the atmosphere on the scene, everyone was very happy. After all, there was a substantial breakthrough, so I thought the expeditionary army was one step closer to the truth.
At this time, the medics walked out of the tent.
"Sir, he woke up and was in a stable state, but he had some malnutrition and skin trauma."
Everyone immediately stopped chatting, and Zhu Talan asked, "Can you accept the inquiry?"
"Well... it's better to have fewer people. His emotions are very unstable and he is afraid of new things. Uh, best, this, General Zhang Yuan should not go in."
"Ah? What did you say! Why can't I enter?!"
Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.
Everyone was laughing, and Zhu Talan finally clicked a few more beautiful and handsome people in. Of course, Xu Ling was among them. Not only because he was young, he looked more energetic and easy to talk to, but also because he was the head of the investigation team, he would definitely not be able to avoid it.
There was also an interpreter among the people who entered, who was also called by the experts from the investigation team, because Xu Ling had already said that the eagle-clawed monster could speak Western languages, so they inferred that the rescued human should also communicate in this language.
Several people walked into the tent and saw the human rescued from the hospital bed. His hair was sparse and skinny. His body still looked a little dirty after being wiped. The color should have been pickled in.
When he saw the person coming in, he obviously wanted to shrink into the corner, but the infusion tube connected to his hand reminded him that the strangers did not seem to be malicious.
"Hello."
The female translator specially selected by Xu Ling sat down beside the bed, "How do you feel now? Is it convenient to chat?"
When the person on the bed saw that the other party would speak his own language, he opened his mouth but did not answer, but asked back: "Where is this, who are you?"
The translator said as gentle as possible: "We come from Xia Kingdom on the east side of the mainland. Do you know Xia Kingdom?"
The man shook his head slightly, then stopped again and said, "Human country?"
“Yes, the human country.”
Hearing this answer, some crystal light appeared in his turbid eyes, and his breathing became heavy.
"Now, there is no country anymore, everyone has been arrested by them, cough cough cough cough cough cough, we are all slaves."
His speech was a bit confusing, but his meaning was easy to understand. In the world to the west of the pass, human civilization no longer exists, and all the surviving humans were captured by those human-shaped monsters and acted as laborers.
This is also why those monsters can own industrial products, and they must have forced the captured humans to engage in production.
The translator communicated with Zhu Talan and others for a few words, and then asked: "Do you know what those monsters are?"
Speaking of monsters, the man became very scared again. A heartfelt instinct made him shake his head and never speak out.
The translator had to change his question: "How many humans are enslaved by them?"
"Many, maybe hundreds of thousands? millions? I don't know, many people are dead."
He continued to describe incoherently, roughly meaning that all the surviving humans in the west were captured and imprisoned by the monsters, used to produce the materials they needed, mining, ironwork, cast armor and weapons, or engage in other labor.
He also said that his name is Leonard, who used to be an electrician, and has been working as a coolie in the military camp after being caught.
Xu Ling called the translator and asked, "How did you survive the demonization?"
At this time, Leonard finally got used to talking to the expeditionary forces, which was much smoother than before. He replied: "More than a hundred years ago, the people there discovered a huge cave on the cliff, leading to the middle of the mountain belly, where we have been living."
Everyone asked people he knew from other places, and learned that all the surviving humans were similar to the Snow Field or the City of Miracle, either gaining some means to fight against the monsters or having a hiding place.
"But everything has changed, those monsters are too strong, they are very smart, ahem, I mean, smarter than those beasts."
Leonard's spirit was still a little confused.
Xu Ling asked again: "When did the monster that captured you appear?"
"I don't know, maybe five years ago, six years ago, or four years ago."
