Chapter 73: Infiltrating the Castle
The spacecraft dropped Xiao Jiang and Li Man on the ground behind a hillside. Xiao Jiang looked at the map and said:
"After the castle is two hillsides, I have lowered the distance of the detector. Now I can detect the roughly surrounding the castle. From the outside of the castle, there seems to be no one guarding it, and no other electronic signals other than the signal machine were detected, indicating that Nordroas did not set up electronic detection equipment in the castle.
Now we go to the field to investigate and then specify a plan to infiltrate. Remember, no matter how urgent the situation is, we should not shout loudly but use headsets to communicate in a low voice. If we have to kill people, try not to make any noise."
Li Man nodded, and the two quickly climbed over the hillside and headed towards the castle. When they were lying on the hillside behind the castle to observe, Xiao Jiang suddenly felt a cooler on his vest. He hurriedly turned over and took Li Man to roll towards the mangroves under the hillside.
"Spit..."
A row of arrows appeared where the two of them were lying down just now. Li Man hurriedly took out a laser gun and planned to fight back. However, Xiao Jiang grabbed Li Man's hand and stared at the group of people appearing at the top of the hillside and whispered:
"Don't do it, these people are not people in the castle, wait a moment."
Xiao Jiang suddenly raised his hands and walked out of the mangrove forest. Among the people was a tall man with traditional Nemori's pointed ears but looking as white as snow. The man raised his right hand to stop others from continuing to attack. When Xiao Jiang went up the hillside, the man stared at Xiao Jiang and said:
"Are you not the subordinate of the castle demon?"
"Neither are you?" Xiao Jiang asked back.
The man said:
"Of course not. I, Zaha, and this demon, attacked you just now. I thought you were people in this castle, but when I looked closely, I didn't look like it at all. You must know that all the guys here have been transformed into extremely evil and ugly appearance."
Xiao Jiang slowly put down his hand and asked:
"Are you from the city ahead? Why do you hate the people in this castle?"
Zaha glanced at Li Man who was still by the mangroves and said:
"It seems that you are not from here, nor do you look like people from Nemo City. For hundreds of thousands of years since the establishment of Asta City, this demon castle has been synonymous with sin. Even every few years, they will capture the relatives of the major leaders and force us to attack Nemo City. As for why I hate them? My parents died in the last battle to attack Nemo City. Everything was created by this demon castle. Do you think I should hate them?"
Xiao Jiang had already observed everyone present. Except for Zaha who was like a white man, the others were no different from the Nemorians. It seems that the statements of the demons were more obtained by various mutant humans on the battlefield.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jiang said:
"So that's the case? The people in the castle also caught my relatives, so I planned to sneak into the castle to save people. Do you know that Mr. Zaha knows the situation inside the castle?"
Zaha nodded and said:
"I have heard of it. The castle is the main castle and two sub-castles. The sub-castle is home to those transformed monsters. No one has ever said anything in the main castle. However, corpses are often thrown out of it. There are also mechanisms everywhere in the castle. It is very difficult to sneak in and save people, let alone those monsters come out if there is any movement."
The monster Zaha is talking about must be the mutant or wild beast transformed by Nordroas. Xiao Jiang has suffered the loss of the Fangtoed beast. He knows that the modified mechanical beast is almost difficult to kill except for his head. As for the modified mutant, it is probably the same. Xiao Jiang's pupils tightened and nodded and said:
"Thank you for the news from Mr. Zaha, but saving people is imperative. I won't stay there anymore. It's going to be night soon. If I save people, I have to leave quickly."
"Is this true? I can only wish you success, alas..."
Zaha sighed and greeted the people behind him and quickly left the hillside. When Xiao Jiang returned to the woods and told Li Man what he had just happened, Li Man frowned and said:
"Do you believe this person? You know that this is a coincidence."
Xiao Jiang opened the scanning screen of the high-altitude detector within half an hour. In the picture, there were images of this group of people appearing several miles away ten minutes ago. Xiao Jiang shook his head as he looked at the route of the group of people and said:
"They came from the other side of the mountain and headed towards the city. They passed by this hillside just by the way. I guess they would attack if they accidentally saw us lying on the half slope."
"But I always think they came too strange, so be careful," said Li Man.
Xiao Jiang nodded and said:
"Yes, Xiaoxing started to speed up the scanning, and it will be dark in half an hour. At that time, we will be much more convenient to move, but once we encounter the enemy's danger, it will increase a lot."
The sky began to become dim and the night slowly came. Since the Super Miscong Star is away from 667c every day, the temperature drops faster and colder at night. Fortunately, this area is also a geothermal gathering area, and there is no special thing in normal times. However, once the air temperature drops, the temperature on the ground begins to impact the cold air and whirl the condensation mist.
From the beginning, hazy and invisible moments, it was almost impossible to find a way out if you were lost in such a thick fog in the dark. When night came, several torches lit on the castle emitted light and flowed to point out the direction.
Xiao Jiang and Li Man slowly touched the castle wall. In the fog, Xiao Jiang pointed to the climbing thorns on the battle armor gloves that popped up above and tucked on the city wall. There was almost no sound, and the thorns pierced into the hard stone. Xiao Jiang pulled up and rushed upwards, and his other hand continued to grab the stones above.
Li Man followed Xiao Jiang and climbed up all the way to the city wall. Xiao Jiang could see the general situation in the castle in the scanner. Two sub-castles stand in the middle of the wall, one on the left and one on the right, and in the middle of the city wall was a main castle like a palace.
Because the fog was too strong and there was almost no situation around him, Xiao Jiang and Li Man slowly slid down from the other wall, and reached the interior of the main castle without any sound.
It was gloomy and dark, without any sound. Xiao Jiang and Li Man could hear their heartbeats sticking to the stone wall. After observing for a while, there was no infrared display in the huge courtyard above the castle, which meant that there was a no-person area on it.
Xiao Jiang and Li Man looked at each other for a while and continued to scan the rooms below the castle. There were obviously various instruments in these rooms, and the walls and floors in several rooms were covered with bloodstains, and there was also a large room with hundreds of solution vessels containing various limbs.
