Chapter 740: Inquiring for Information
In Middle-earth, Zhang Tuohai fell into deep thought as he watched the noisy conversation in the regional channel.
He instinctively felt that there must be something wrong with this world.
Those orcs with rune weapons, the strange teleportation location, and the huge dark cloud that suddenly appeared and plunged the whole world into darkness.
All of this was eerie, but he was now in the middle of a situation and had limited information, so he couldn't get the full picture.
"What should I do?"
Zhang Tuohai sat in a chair, thinking.
At this time, a large number of self-propelled machines have returned, bringing back a lot of corpses and rune weapons.
According to Lilith's anatomical research, she found that the bone ages of these orcs were very young, almost all within half a year.
In other words, they were all born within half a year.
After hearing the news, Zhang Tuohai's first reaction was: "I have little education, so don't lie to me."
"Are these guys rats? Even rats can't reproduce so quickly, right?"
Zhang Tuohai said as he looked at the two-meter-tall orcs.
"Of course it's impossible according to the laws of natural reproduction, but what if it's not natural reproduction?"
Lilith threw a dissected corpse into the genetic medicine manufacturing machine.
Buzz——buzz——
After a buzzing sound, a bottle of potion rolled out.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Tuohai seemed to have thought of something when he saw the bottle of medicine.
“They are all manufactured.”
Lilith put the potion in her pocket.
"As for those rune weapons, I've seen them. These are crudely made weapons that were rushed out in large quantities. Runes were carved on them hastily, and you can tell from the marks and workmanship. There are also many failed products that are mixed in with normal weapons."
"So..."
Zhang Tuohai blinked.
"There is a dark hand behind all this, and there is also a huge team behind it, because these weapons have traces of being handmade. If they were machined in large quantities, they would definitely not look like this."
Lilith said.
"Do you think that catching the mastermind behind all this is the key to breaking the deadlock?"
Zhang Tuohai crossed his fingers and placed them under his chin.
"There's no other clues anyway, right?"
" That's right, let's give it a try."
Zhang Tuohai nodded, then contacted Cang Xiaokong and asked her to blend into the player group and promote the Spirit Realm System. The focus was on those players who arrived earlier. They must have some information that might be of great use to Zhang Tuohai.
Cang Xiaokong readily agreed.
In this world of complete darkness, the Spirit Realm system, which features infrared imaging, autonomous driving, and automatic close-in defense systems, was extremely popular and quickly spread among the player community.
After obtaining the Spirit Realm System, many players are eager to explore the surrounding area in the dark.
With the infrared imaging system, the pitch-black night actually became their advantage.
Other players gave up struggling, thinking that resistance was hopeless, and prepared to have a good time in the spiritual realm before dying.
Although their choices were different, Zhang Tuohai quickly obtained some information through the fragments of their interactions .
That is, in addition to the orcs, there are also some human countries in this world. These human countries were originally the mainstream of this world. However, the orcs suddenly appeared, attacked the world, destroyed many human countries, and forced the remaining humans to gather together.
Those orcs are powerful and fearless of death. The most important thing is that there are so many of them that you can never kill them all, just like locusts.
The human leaders thought that they should first find the source of the orcs, cut off this source, and then slowly clean them up and retake their homeland.
Therefore, humans sent out several elite teams, under the protection of players, to investigate the origins of the orcs.
However, not long after they set out, these teams were discovered and surrounded by heavy troops.
Most of the teams were caught off guard and were overwhelmed by the orcs like a wave.
Only a few were lucky enough to hide in the sturdy fortresses, relying on the solid defenses and the powerful firepower in the hands of the players to hold on.
However, in the face of the massive number of orcs, they could only survive. The day when their ammunition ran out would be the day of their demise.
"It seems that we still need to find the source of those orcs."
Zhang Tuohai said as he looked at the compiled analysis report.
"Next time, try to leave a few people alive and see if you can torture them to get some information out of them."
Zhang Tuohai said to Xiao Ai.
"Okay." Xiao Ai nodded in response.
"Has the self-propelled machine that went to investigate the surrounding area returned?"
Zhang Tuohai asked.
"We're back. There aren't any orcs around, and we didn't even see any wild beasts. However, 200 meters away, we found a road dug by humans, and there were some orc footprints on it."
Xiao Ai said.
"Really, let's go and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tuohai immediately became alert and drove towards the direction marked by the self-propelled machine.
Soon, Zhang Tuohai arrived at the side of the road. There were many footprints on the road. Perhaps because it had rained, some footprints were particularly clear. It could be vaguely seen that these orcs should be heading south.
"They must be heading towards the human settlement. Let's follow their direction and see."
Despite the news of the spiritual realm system monitoring, Zhang Tuohai still felt that he should meet the natives of this world. Maybe he would gain some new insights.
Xiao Ai drove along the road towards the south.
I have to say, magnetic levitation is comfortable.
The roads in Middle-earth are all dirt roads. Due to years of disrepair and a recent rainstorm, these roads have become veritable "cement roads" with huge potholes one after another. If you drive on such a road, your gallbladder will be thrown out.
However, Zhang Tuohai has a magnetic levitation system, so he doesn't need to touch the ground at all, and no matter how bad the road conditions are, they will not affect him.
The flying saucer flew forward rapidly without any hindrance, reaching a speed of about 300 miles per hour.
After walking forward for about an hour, I suddenly heard shouting and killing ahead.
"There's something going on. Let's go take a look."
Zhang Tuohai put on his electromagnetic armor and was ready.
Xiao Ai also turned off the lighting and drove forward stealthily.
After driving about another seven or eight hundred meters and turning around a forest, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
There was an open area ahead. In the center of the area, more than a dozen carriages formed a circle. Dozens of soldiers holding spears and swords were guarding the circle.
Outside the circle, there are thousands of orcs, who are attacking the circle.
