Chapter 165 Reconnaissance Results
The more important question is whether the leopard's behavior was autonomous or human-driven.

Soon, in the corridor on the fifth floor, Tangning found a few more footprints of ferocious beasts.

There is a group of rubbing marks behind the footprints, and there is also a vague mark behind the two front paw prints, which shows that the beast has rested here in a lying position.

There is also a scattered skeleton around the footprints. I don't know if the beasts have eaten here.

Next to the beast's footprints, Tangning found two shoe prints.

There was light dust on the animal tracks and shoe prints, and the thickness of the dust was about the same. That is to say, the animal tracks and shoe prints appeared here almost at the same time.

The heels of the shoe prints are as clear as the soles of the feet, indicating that the person who left the shoe prints had stood beside the beast for quite a while.

The direction is also the same.

At this point, Tangning could already conclude that this ferocious beast was raised by one person, and this person was the mastermind who killed all the survivors in the hospital.

Qiuyi said that before him, there was no successful case of raising mutant beasts in the settlement.

In other words, the person who raised this feline had never been in the settlement.

What's even more strange is that, logically speaking, the survivors of the hospital should also use the Yandu Skynet, so when the settlement once captured Jingyan, what happened here, even if the monitoring center stores Being taken away, at least there are traces to follow.

It is also possible that the information stored in Skynet is massive, and the work focus of the Joint Council is not here, so such important information has not been retrieved.

After thinking about it, Tangning decided to look for more clues.

Even when the hospital is turned into a refuge, it is unlikely that the main box of the hospital's monitoring center will be opened, and there is a high requirement for environmental cleanliness there. If the perpetrator can leave something there, perhaps can also be preserved.

Back in the monitoring room, Tangning opened the server case and carefully checked around the notch where the storage was placed, and finally found a few residual fingerprints under the mirror panel.

These few fingerprints were left by the person who took the storage with his thumb to press the bayonet of the crystal storage cover, and the other four fingers were left on it.

It can be seen that after taking away the storage body, the assailant put the outer cover back and cleaned up the traces left on the outer cover, but ignored this.

And because of the particularity of the environment, the three fingerprints on the assailant's right index finger, middle finger, and ring finger were preserved.

After sampling and recording the fingerprints and shoe prints, Tangning began to search for the things left by the survivors.

Some of their personal belongings, or could provide some clues.

The clues were quickly found, because almost everyone had an ecological cabin during the same period.

Although the crystal storage and core processors in the ecological cabin have also been taken away, many chips have login counting functions.

After reading the login sensor chips in most of the eco-chambers, although they can't get more information, they can at least know the last login time of the user.

Most of the time is June 25, the seventh year of Datong.

In other words, the time of the incident should be around June 25, the seventh year of Datong.

With this information, Tangning can look for an opportunity to read the satellite image records of the Yandu Skynet. The time is locked around June 25th in the seventh year of Datong, and the location is locked at the Salt Mine Hospital in Laimu Town. Maybe she can learn more.

The timer in the helmet beeped, reminding Tangning that it was time to go back to receive the drone.

Tangning quickly slid down from the window on the seventh floor of the hospital and ran towards the water plant.

After arriving at the water plant and releasing the second drone, the sound of the engine of the first drone has already been heard from afar.

Tang Ning pulled up the wire rope on the bridge, and the Peregrine Falcon slid down gracefully and landed firmly on the bridge.

After removing the drone's storage body and replacing it with a new one, Tangning pushed the drone into the woods and hid it, using a disguised container truck to charge the drone.

And he himself got into a pickup truck with the roof painted in the color of the road surface, and rushed to Weiyuan with the storage body.

Entering the range of Weiyuan is his home field, and Xiaozhi can use the powerful Hanan Skynet resources to give him the greatest support.

"Xiaozhi, receive the data and take over the driving."

"Roger that!"

Tangning turned over and entered the ecological cabin at the back of the truck, and logged into the Skynet conference hall.

Duan Zhao and Xia Dayu were already waiting here, and a huge reconnaissance map on the light curtain gradually became clear, with more and more various data.

"Are you back?" Duan Zhao greeted immediately.

"How about the direction of the highway? Didn't they alarm them?" Tangning asked this question immediately.

"No abnormality." Xia Dayu said: "However, the direction of Meishan is not optimistic, especially on the east side of the Minjiang River. Brother Xiang, who is independently defending the Mindong New District, is under great pressure to block the passages in the two directions of Longquan Mountain and Minjiang River."

"Your firewall technique is very effective." Duan Zhao said: "The military has organized Renshou to send a batch of thermite to the front line, and the vanadium and titanium base has also urgently provided alloy steel sheets to strengthen the combat uniforms. The number of casualties is still under control."

"Is there any Huang family inside?"

"not found."

At this time, the reconnaissance map analysis has been completed, and the direction from Qingyi River to Jiajiang is very quiet.

The three of them frowned suddenly.

It stands to reason that there is no need to cover up actions in that direction. Now that drones can't find any movement in low-altitude and detailed reconnaissance, there should indeed be no action.

"I don't think we can wait any longer." Tangning said, "Any abnormality is a demon. If there is no movement in the direction of Jiajiang, we should understand that the Huang family's army must have started to move towards Weiyuan, but it is not Know how to avoid our detection."

Duan Zhao also nodded: "I think at least one battalion should be sent to Rong County, so that we can advance and retreat as well as defend."

Xia Dayu frowned: "But Rong County belongs to Yandu Tianwang, once it makes a move, I'm afraid it won't be able to escape the eyes of Jiazhou."

Tang Ning said, "The direction of Jiazhou may be hiding its strength. Let me show you what I found at the Salt Mine Hospital in Laimu Town, Xiaozhi."

Xiaozhi immediately called up a picture: "According to the analysis of traces in the hospital, it is preliminarily determined that the assailant beast is a mutated spotted leopard, with a body length of 15 meters and a weight of [-] kilograms. It has sharp minions, developed senses, and extremely keen sense of smell and vision. It moves quickly and agilely, and is good at climbing and jumping. According to the model of this leopard, it can reach a height of eight meters and a distance of [-] meters. At the same time, according to its actions in the hospital, it did not suffer any injuries. It is suspected that it has stealth. The mutation function of the self-protection direction such as armor."

"The seventh year of Datong...then even if he is not dead, he should be an old leopard, right?" Xia Dayu asked.

"It is still unknown whether the leopard in the seventh year of Datong was an adult or a juvenile, and the life span of mutant creatures is generally two to three times longer than that of ordinary individuals."

If this is the case, maybe this leopard is in its prime.

"The leopard's companion is human. Due to the lack of more detailed data, it is judged to be a male based on the footprints. Judging from the step distance, the height is between 1.7 meters and 1.7 meters five."

Just having a mutant beast like a leopard is scary enough. From the battle against Han'an City, it can be seen that Tangning, who has glutinous rice balls and cakes, can guard half the distance from the Baima hub to the Ganjiadu defense line alone. The beasts drove towards the bridge.

Moreover, glutinous rice balls or hair cakes alone are not even a match for leopards of the same size in the jungle.

If such a ferocious beast attacked Weiyuan's defense line under the command of people, Xia Dayu's eyelids could not help shaking: "I will upload this information to the headquarters, and request to strengthen the forward reconnaissance."

"It's still not certain that this beast belongs to the Huang family." Duan Zhao said, "Now Jing Yan and Renshou are very empty, if this guy goes to Renshou..."

Renshou is the rear protection of Meishan and Weiyuan, and now there is only Ge Dacheng's autonomous armed force, which is not enough.

Tangning had roughly guessed the military's plan so far. It was to take advantage of this beast swarm, put on a vacant appearance, and attract the Huang family's troops to enter the area between Jingyan and Renshou to gather and annihilate them.

However, the Huang family did not fully reveal their cards. Huang Xunjie also took advantage of this opportunity to concentrate the Sanjiang beast tide to the direction of the Minjiang River, greatly restraining the military strength of the Meishan direction, and at the same time concealed their whereabouts, making the Weiyuan direction uncertain about the next move.

If they really have the trump card of mutant beasts and wreak havoc in Renshou, or even attack the Black Dragon Water Conservancy Project, the flanks and rear of Meishan and Vanadium and Titanium bases will be seriously threatened.

Obviously, both Duan Zhao and Xia Dayu were aware of this problem. Xia Dayu looked at the map and said angrily: "This plan has made a serious mistake. This kind of eagerness to take risks and win is not advisable. I want to raise an objection to the headquarters!"

"The question is what to do now?" Duan Zhao is a "new recruit" who just joined the joint council, and he dare not be as arrogant as Xia Dayu: "It must be raised, but the problem is still a problem."

"Military orders cannot be disobeyed," Tangning said, "At least the Huang family has not passed Rong County yet, so there is still time to arrange the report."

"No matter what the Huang family does, the general direction is to enter Zhanjingyan, and then either attack Weiyuan or attack Renshou."

"In this way, the military reconnaissance in the direction of Jiajiang is meaningless. This time I will take the Pluto armed unit to Laimu. After loading the drone, I will continue to go to Jingyan, and then go to Renshou on the Rongli Expressway. You guys What do you say?"

This is actually the completion of reconnaissance from Jingyan to Weiyuan and Renshou. Xia Dayu nodded: "Then do it this way, but Pluto fighters rely on Skynet, and it will be troublesome when they go out of Weiyuan. Why don't you get the drone?" Go back the same way, from Weiyuan to Renshou."

This was out of consideration for the safety of the Pluto fighters and Tangning. Tangning nodded in agreement, "Then let the Pluto Armed Unit of the Academy of Sciences go to Renshou now. I'll drive a container truck and go through Jingyan."
