I rely on you all to cultivate

Chapter 398 The Observatory by the Sea
"We can't delay any longer. We have to bring the news back as soon as possible." Xu Ling said as he stepped back.

In order not to startle the enemy, the two used their exercises, their figures flickered a few times before disappearing into the pass, and then quickly returned to the camp.

"You are finally back!"

Luo Zhixing waited at the gate of the camp like a watchman, but it was the two of them who came, "Did you find something? They should have arrived half an hour ago."

Xu Ling said: "Well, I found something, but it's too late to say it now. Lin Ling will follow me to the Chinese Army Command."

The two walked away through the camp.

Meng Zhi stared blankly at the distant figure: "They discovered it, did they discover a monster, a human, or something delicious?"

"...Anyway, it can't be the last one."

Luo Zhixing was speechless, looking at the back of the camp, suddenly remembered something, and told Meng Chi, "Don't tell Xie Yilang about this, or he won't get the result for a while and scratch his head in anxiety.

Meng Chi was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You are really careful."

……

In the command tent of the Chinese army, all the senior officers of the Third Route Army were assembled again, plus Lin Ling who witnessed the scene behind the pass with Xu Ling.

Moreover, the atmosphere in the tent was silent, even a little dull, because the situation had already been reported, and they probably already knew the situation over there.

Warcraft, humanoid monsters that can communicate with demons, and locked humans.

From the description, the situation is not optimistic, at least those monsters imprisoning humans do not sound very friendly.

At this time, Xu Ling had already taken off the terminal, connected it to the notebook and started playing the video, which recorded everything that happened since he started tracking Hidden Cat.

When the progress of the screen came to the point where he had just walked out of the pass, Zhu Taran suddenly pressed the pause button.

"Wait, what is that building on the mountainside? Zoom in, bigger, bigger."

Xu Ling remembered that this was the tall building on the mountainside he saw when he just walked out of the narrow passage, and it was recorded at that time.

"Domed, blue and white, very tall."

The staff officer said, "It looks like the architectural style in the south."

Although the zoomed-in image was blurry, Xu Ling felt more and more familiar with it. After a few seconds, he suddenly said, "It's the Observatory! The Bolises Observatory!"

This is the main building of a scientific research institution, and it is also a world-renowned scenic spot. Before the demonization, many tourists would go to the foot of the observatory to take pictures.

The reason why he can recognize it is because there are often such posts on the Internet before time travel, "Ten attractions that must be visited in a lifetime", "The five most difficult buildings to build, and the last one you will never think of" and so on.

It was then that he memorized the appearance of the observatory.

As for the others, they were demonized when they were born, and basically bid farewell to traveling abroad. Naturally, there is no market for such posts, so no one will think of it for a while.

But after Xu Ling's reminder, many of them also had an impression.

"Amazing, Xu Ling, you can think of all of this, you have a really good brain." Zhang Yuan praised.

"Wait, the point doesn't seem to be this..."

Chu Xiaojun's face was a bit ugly, "If I remember correctly, the Bolixis Observatory is located in the coastal country in the south of the mainland, right?"

With that said, the faces of the others also changed.

That's right, the observatory is at the southern end of the mainland, but this is the center of the mainland.

Zhu Taran poked up and down the window frame with her hand that was not holding a cigarette.

"So, the mountains on both sides of the pass were moved from other places?"

"..."

The question could only be answered in the affirmative, but no one wanted to believe that something could move mountains from the edge of the continent to the middle, and the room fell silent.

Xu Ling thought, this should be regarded as the discovery of the investigation team, and he must keep a file and store it in the 116 base when he goes back.

"Keep playing." Zhu Taran said.

The screen began to change again, and the next pause was when Xu Ling lay down on the small cliff.

There is no need for Zhu Taran to speak, someone will naturally start to analyze.

"The specifications of the military tents are not uniform, the arrangement is very scattered, a little crowded, and there are many people who can be stationed."

"Warcraft and those humanoid creatures are very similar to some kind of superior-subordinate relationship."

"Although they can communicate with the magic body, they seem to be very inefficient. In the end, they devoured the overflowing magic crystal. I suspect that some information or memory can be extracted from it. Of course, this is just a guess."

"This conjecture makes sense, otherwise why eat it when it's good."

Although they are all commanders, they are no different from recruits or grassroots officers and soldiers when discussing. It is still you talk to each other and brainstorm.

"What clues are there on those captured humans?"

At that time, the distance was too far, and the terminal recording was not clear. The details can only come from the dictation of Xu Ling and Lin Ling, so now everyone relies on them.

Xu Ling said: "I can't see the physical features clearly, but the clothing and mental state look... well, it seems that I have been caught for a while."

"..."

There was another silence, not because of shock or anything, everyone was thinking about what to do now.

They are the commanding staff of the Expeditionary Army, and they are all at the rank of adjutant at the lowest level. Major decisions are made by the people present, but at this time, they can’t help thinking slowly, after all, the amount of information they suddenly received is too large .

Zhu Taran had already smoked four or five cigarettes in a row, but he was still shrouded in smoke at this moment and said: "Let's get rid of useless information first, why is the observatory here, don't care who dug the pass for the time being, this kind of The thing is the same as the underground corridor, and I can't figure out the reason for the time being."

Hearing what he said, Chu Xiaojun also came to his senses: "The main information is two points. Those humanoid creatures are on the same side as monsters. They arrest humans and lock them up. I suggest a preliminary judgment as hostile. What do you think?"

Xu Ling nodded and said, "I agree, since that thing can side with monsters, it's hard to think that they will be friendly to humans."

Zhang Yuan snorted: "Grandma, what the hell is that?"

Zhu Taran said: "Don't worry about this, the point is that there are humans under their control. What we need to decide now is to go to war, rescue those human compatriots, or retreat, or wait and see for a while."

Xu Ling added: "They wear armor and don't have hot weapons. Considering the monster-like figure, I think they can be directly regarded as monsters that can use magic crystal technology."

"Well, the worst case is like this." A staff officer continued, taking a pen to write down on the blackboard at the same time.

They now have to estimate the opponent's combat strength before they can deal with it.

However, fighting must not only consider one situation, bad possibilities must be considered, and good possibilities must not be let go, and then designate different response plans according to each situation, so as to increase the fault tolerance rate when a battle breaks out.

"However, we have discovered industrial products before, and we must also consider the possibility that they have thermal weapons."

"That's right." Xu Ling nodded and said, "This is worse than the worst-case scenario just mentioned. Ordinary guns pose no threat to us, but non-warrior troops should be treated with caution."

Such a major event cannot be finished in a short while, until late at night, when the lights were turned on in the command tent, no one came out.
