Chapter 140 Vegetable Ocean
Xu Yang and his troops moved forward quickly, and on the afternoon of the second day, they arrived near the Lishan base.
"Something is wrong." As they went deeper and deeper into the Lishan base, the mutants of the search team began to look serious.
"Captain Xu, there must be a base nearby. You can see that the road here has traces of frequent vehicle crushing, and there are few wild vegetables on the grass here. It should be caused by the frequent picking of survivors."
Jiang Bin rode on the broad back of the three-headed wolf, pointed to the abandoned road that Wang Jin had cleared, and warned Xu Yang: "Captain Xu, I suggest that we conduct reconnaissance first, and make plans after understanding the situation. Otherwise, we will be in danger if we encounter a powerful base."
"What are you afraid of? With me here, there is no base that I can't deal with. It's just right to collect protection fees for us and clean up the cave base together."
Xu Yang disdained Jiang Bin's words. Powerful people are usually confident, or to be more clear, arrogant. They always think they are fearless and have a lot of guts.
"The cave base is probably hidden in this base, so we don't have to deal with them one by one. Your search team has the means to find the base, now it's up to you."
Xu Yang stood high on the top of the armored vehicle, his hands behind his back, with a look of indifference, which made several mutants frown.
This Xu Yang is said to be related to the leader of the Lingnan base. He was sent to the army to gain experience. He has some strength, but he is too proud. The wild is not like the back garden of the Lingnan base, and any danger may happen.
If they acted on their own, they would definitely use the most prudent method, first send people to conduct reconnaissance, and go directly if they find that the opponent's base is weak. If they cannot defeat the enemy, they will notify the base to send reinforcements. They would not rush in like Xu Yang.
"Captain Xu, look." Jiang Bin wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Xu Yang's rude wave of his hand: "No need to say more, I have made up my mind. What can I do if I worry about this and that all day long? Just find the base and destroy it."
Xu Yang looked at Jiang Bin's face with hidden anger. He felt very unhappy with Jiang Bin, a guy who always disobeyed his orders and opposed him. He felt that he had lost face and hated Jiang Bin.
Seeing Xu Yang's warning, Jiang Bin still disagreed in his heart, but he could not refuse. Otherwise, when he returned to the base, Xu Yang would sue him for disobeying orders, and Jiang Bin would definitely not have a good ending.
In desperation, Jiang Bin had to nod in agreement, touched the black head in the middle of the three wolves, and spoke inexplicable animal language. If someone could speak animal language, they would understand that Jiang Bin was talking about finding the place with the strongest human smell nearby.
Hearing the animal language, the black head in the middle of the three giant wolves opened his mouth wide and spit out a breath of black air. The black air floated in the air and soon went around with the wind.
"What are you doing? Can you find the base like this?" Xu Yang asked in confusion. Although he hated the other party, he really had to rely on these mutants to open up the situation at a critical moment.
"Of course we can find the base. My three-headed wolf can detect the breath of humans within a range of ten kilometers. Only the base can be found within this range."
As Jiang Bin was speaking, the black head of the three-headed wolf sucked in its mouth, and the black mist that had dissipated in the air reappeared and was sucked into the mouth by the black head.
"Roar, roar, roar!" The three-headed wolf twisted its neck and roared at Jiang Bin, speaking the animal language that only Jiang Bin could understand.
"Found it." Jiang Bin's face was happy, and he said: "9 kilometers to our left, there are more than 5,000 human breaths. It must be the survivor base."
"More than 5,000 humans, it seems to be just a small base. Let's go straight over and see if you see it. I said there is no need to make a fuss." Xu Yang heard this and glanced at Jiang Bin and others proudly, as if to say that his guess was correct.
"Captain Xu, I suggest that we send someone to observe in person. After all, we don't know the military strength of this base. If they have thousands of soldiers or powerful mutants, we can't handle it."
Jiang Bin saw Xu Yang's impulsive look and couldn't help but speak out. He really felt that it was a mistake to go out with Xu Yang this time. The other party was too reckless and not cautious at all. Such a reckless character is not suitable for survival in the wild.
Jiang Bin has been searching for bases in the wild for many years and has seen many people who lost their lives because of caution.
For humans who can survive in the wild, caution is always the first factor for them to save their lives. People who forget to be cautious will not live long.
"Do you think it's possible to recruit soldiers at a five-to-one ratio? Do they have so much food? Even our base can't do that, not to mention such a small base. What's the use of mutants? I have the strength to deal with them in a minute."
Xu Yang looked at Jiang Bin with contempt, then retracted the armored vehicle and issued an order to the entire army to prepare for battle: "Advance at full speed, target nine kilometers to the left front, and prepare for battle."
After receiving the order, three hundred soldiers followed the twelve armored vehicles and advanced quickly on foot. Jiang Bin and several other mutants looked at each other helplessly, shook their heads and followed the troops.
As they moved forward, the traces of human activities around them became more and more obvious, but strangely, they did not find a single human being. Logically, there should be survivors looking for food in the wild near the base!
Jiang Bin suddenly felt uneasy. He observed that there were very few wild vegetables on the ground nearby, and there were serious signs of trampling. This showed that there must be a lot of people in this base, and a large number of survivors often came out to find food.
But they couldn't see a single survivor. This was too weird, unless the other party had discovered them and asked the survivors to hide.
Jiang Bin thought of a possibility, and his face changed. Apart from that, he could not think of another reasonable explanation.
"Captain Xu, quickly tell the troops to stop and send people to the front to investigate in person. We may have been ambushed."
Jiang Bin shouted at the armored vehicle that Xu Yang was riding in, but Xu Yang in the armored vehicle did not listen at all and still insisted on ordering the troops to move forward.
He had listened to Jiang Bin's advice many times. He found that as long as the other party said an order, they would oppose it, so how could they care about the other party? Not punishing Jiang Bin was already giving him face.
Several other mutants also found that the situation was not good. After hearing Jiang Bin's explanation, they all gave advice.
At the same time, they wanted to stop the soldiers. But they were not in the same system as the soldiers. How could they command these soldiers? The soldiers still moved forward under Xu Yang's order.
Several mutants found that it was not good and wanted to take a step back, even if they would be punished when they returned to the base later.
But it was too late for them to leave at this time. In front of them, a large green ocean appeared in their field of vision. Looking carefully, this was clearly a large sweet potato planting area, enough to cover thousands of acres. It was endless at a glance, forming a sea of vegetables, which made every soldier who saw it open his mouth in surprise.
Their base did not have such a large planting area! Now they actually saw it in a small base, how could they not be surprised.
