It was early morning in the Red Desert, and it was almost midnight at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
The cold spring is expected, and the temperature outside the third-bedroom lobby of the Su family is very low at this moment.
In his early years, Cao Yusheng was also considered to be in the mountains and fields. He had the lives of many beasts and alien species in his hands, and he also earned the name of Nuo Da.
He was born in a branch of the Cao family, and his cultivation base is poor. Although through continuous hard work and ingenuity, he has raised his combat power to more than nine inches, but he was too brave when he was young, and now he has a problem. .
For example, rheumatoid arthritis, which is raging now, is untenable at this time. It is easy to say that the disease is warmed up. Once the surrounding area is cold, it is really a sharp knife.
But the current affairs in the house are very important, and Cao Yusheng is unwilling to leave, so he insists on waiting outside for news.
Cao Mian knew about his old man's problems, so he found a brazier, set it up in the courtyard, lit a charcoal fire, and kept the old man warm.
But it’s not enough just to be warm by a charcoal fire. It’s more practical to eat and eat, and people will naturally warm up.
In addition, the progress on the Red Desert was fairly smooth, and the three people waiting outside were relieved.
So right now Cao Yusheng, Yang Tuo, and Cao Mian are surrounding the charcoal fire, eating and drinking while waiting for the progress inside.
The wine is hot Shaoxing Huadiao, served in a tin jug.
Cao Mian controlled the temperature, and when it was cold, he put the tin jug on the charcoal fire to reheat it.
Lin Shuo is from Qiantang, and his hometown is not far from Shaoxing. He doesn't drink alcohol during the day, but at night when he is happy, he will drink a little of this kind of rice wine.
Knowing his preferences, Anne asked someone to buy a 20-year-old wine from Shaoxing, the authentic Nurhong.
This woman is very picky in other aspects, but she never feels sorry for spending money on things that Lin Shuo likes.
Now that Lin Shuo is in the Red Desert, Zhou Lingshi, who is in charge of the kitchen wine cellar, originally wanted to hide the jar of wine for the master, but couldn't stand Cao Mian's dog nose, so he followed the smell to find it.
Cao Mian begged for so many times, Zhou Lingshi reluctantly agreed to make a pot.
When drinking this pot of wine, the creases on Lao Zhou's face were twitching, and it seemed that he was very distressed.
At the moment, in the courtyard, Cao Yusheng, Cao Mian, and Yang Tuo warmed the wine and drank their stomachs, which not only warmed the stomach, but also refreshed the heart, just two words, comfortable.
Not only the wine is good, but also a few fish grilled on a charcoal basin.
The naked carp in Qinghai Lake is also called Huangyu.
This fish has high fat content, tender and fat meat, but it grows slowly.
At the moment, a few tails are strung together and placed on the charcoal basin. They are about the length of a palm, and they are considered big. They are sizzling on the charcoal fire.
Zhou Lingshi loves the wine, but the seasoning doesn't matter, take whatever you want.
Although Cao Mian is usually quite gentle, but now he doesn't care about the severity of his attack. He only knows about salted fish and light meat, but in the end he sprinkled too much seasoning, and several fish were grilled spicy and salty by him.
It's not a big problem if it's salty or spicy, and the fish tastes good.
But such a bad dish, it costs wine.
A pot of Nurhong was quickly drunk by the three of them.
So when Miao Guangqi smelled the wine, the jug was already empty.
Miao Guangqi is a man of knowledge. He lifted the lid of the jug and smelled it, trembling with anger: "We are busy inside, but you are very comfortable. You have no humanity at all, and you don't even leave me a sip of wine. .”
"You don't get rewarded for nothing." Cao Yusheng said slowly, "If you don't make any progress, why should you drink this good daughter's red?"
"Nonsense!" Miao Guangqi said with staring eyes, "I just married my daughter a while ago, so I'm not qualified to have a sip of daughter red?"
"Hey, that's nonsense." Cao Yusheng shook his head, and handed the tin jug to his son Cao Mian, "Go, get him another jug."
"I can't ask for it." Cao Mian quickly waved his hand, "I almost didn't get into a fight with Lao Zhou about the pot just now. This is Lin Shuo's collection of wine. Zhou Lingshi is more important than fate."
"Go and ask for it." Miao Guangqi pointed at his nose and said, "Just say that Lin Shuo's father-in-law wants to drink. I don't believe he won't."
When Cao Mian heard that the name seemed to make sense, he nodded and ran towards the kitchen with the tin flagon.
Miao Guangqi took advantage of the opportunity to sit in Cao Mian's seat, picked up the fish on the charcoal fire and ate it.
This man was very quick at eating, and quickly cleaned up a fish. After he finished eating, he wiped his mouth when he heard a commotion in the kitchen.
Hearing this movement, Zhou Lingshi really refused.
"Lin Shuo took in this second apprentice, so stubborn." Miao Guangqi shook his head, and said, "Lin Shuo might not be able to come back. No matter how well the wine is stored, what's the use of it? Isn't it falling to others? Stomach gone."
"What do you mean by that?" Cao Yusheng frowned and asked, "Isn't the situation going well at the scene? Why can't you come back?"
"Smooth is very smooth." Miao Guangqi said, "But isn't this the same as going to die smoothly? Who can say whether you can come back?"
"You made it clear."
"Let me ask you." Miao Guangqi picked up another fish and said, "What is Lin Shuo going to capture the Dover Devil for?"
"Crack the principle of the Dover Devil's neural network, and then use the captured Dover Devil's neural signals to cheat, and then sneak in to understand the habits of the Dover Devil." Cao Yusheng said.
Miao Guangqi put the fish horizontally in front of his eyes, opened his mouth and moved his head, and put a piece of fish meat into his mouth. While chewing, he pointed at the lobby of the third room with the stick in his hand: "The inside has been cracked, and reverse engineering has also been done." It's almost there. If everything goes well, Lin Shuo and the others will be able to sneak into the Dover demon population tomorrow."
"So fast?" Cao Yusheng was surprised, "How did you do it?"
"I'll tell you that you don't understand either." Miao Guangqi glanced at Cao Yusheng, "It's still the same sentence, knowledge is power. And this group of people in it has enough knowledge in this area, as long as they know the information If it is enough, you can see what is going on and solve this problem quickly, otherwise why should I invite them over?"
"Is it dangerous for Lin Shuo and the others to sneak in?" Cao Yusheng asked again.
"If it's just to sneak in, that's okay." Miao Guangqi said, "But the problem is that what they have to do is not only to sneak in, but also follow-up operations. If they don't do it, they will be killed."
"Then you can't make a reliable plan for them in advance?"
"There is no plan." Miao Guangqi shook his head and said, "Because although the nerve signal can be deciphered and reversed, we have only obtained the right to communicate. What is going on with the Dover Devil is only based on the We can't draw too many conclusions about the neural communication between the two young Dover demons, and most of them can only guess.
Rather than guessing out of thin air here, Lin Shuo's seeing is believing, so he can only play by ear.
One thing, however, is clear. "
"what's the message?"
"The adult Dover demon he captured doesn't have a high status in the Dover demon population." Miao Guangqi said, "It seems to be a nanny-type character who guards the cubs of the Dover demon. In the power system, it should be in the lower middle position."
"With such a large body, the combat power is average to low?" Cao Yusheng asked, "Is this impossible?"
"Nothing is impossible." Miao Guangqi said, "Otherwise, there was only one Dover demon in the Taklamakan Desert back then, why would it cause such a big loss to Liemen
According to records, Lin Tahai back then was also a hunter who inherited the Nine Realms of Dzogchen from the Lin family.
Although with the continuous improvement of each family's inheritance system, most of the people today are worse than the ancients, but this Lin Tahai was the number one person in the Liemen at that time, and he should not be much worse than Lin Shuo today.
And there are more than fifty helpers around him, most of them are members of the Nine Realms inherited from various families. As a result, not only was the entire army wiped out, Lin Tahai himself was seriously injured within a month after killing the Dover demon. died.
Before, we thought that this might be due to the illusion of the Dover demon, but now it seems that this illusion is not a big threat.
Don't forget, the Patriarch of the Yun Family was also in the team at that time. He was a master of the Yun Family who inherited the Nine Inches and Four Realms.
So this combat power is a bit out of line. "
"Aren't you thinking too much?" Cao Yusheng said, "Lin Shuo captured the adult Dover demon before, and the battle ended very quickly, but that was because of the thunderous fighting style of the Lin family.
The Lin family's fight was a matter of face-to-face, if they made each other die, if they couldn't make it, they would die themselves.
You can't see that the battle is over quickly, and you feel that the current adult Dover demon is not strong, and maybe Lin Shuo himself is in danger.
When you fight with Brother Lin, isn't it just a face-to-face meeting? Could it be said that you are a waste snack when you are lying on the ground? "
"Fatty, you're talking about things. Can you not give this example?" Miao Guangqi rolled his eyes. "Of course I wouldn't be so hasty in making such a judgment. There must be other intelligence support."
"What other information do you know?"
"When Lin Shuo and the others went into the Dover devil's lair to steal the cubs, Yun Xiuer followed the faint light of the flashlight and looked inside." Miao Guangqi said, "She later reported to me that there were several monsters in the depths of the lair. The size of the first Dover demon looks like a mountain from a distance, but it is more than the level of the one captured so far.
Therefore, the Dover demons that Lin Shuo and the others have encountered so far are still small soldiers.
The real big guy is still behind.
Fortunately, they now have the opportunity to avoid confrontation with these big guys.
As long as you get involved, everything is possible. "
"Then how did they get in?" Cao Yusheng asked.
Miao Guangqi stretched out two fingers, and said seriously: "We captured two Dover demons, one big and one small, and there are two individual nerve signals for camouflage, so two people can get in.
The two wore signal shielding suits to prevent their own nerve signals from leaking out, and installed nerve signal receiving equipment to fully synchronize the captured nerve signals of the two Dover demons through radio.
At present, the two Dover demons in the base entered the signal shielding room to block their remote sensing of the nerve signals of the surrounding creatures, faking an illusion that there are no creatures around, but underground.
Their own nerve signals are transmitted to the equipment through the probes, and then radio transmissions are carried out on the outside of the shielded house, and transmitted to the two people who sneaked in at the scene.
In this way, the Dover demon in the lair will think that these two people are the two captured Dover demons. "
Yang Tuo remained silent all the time, and when he heard this, he adjusted his glasses: "There is a problem here."
"What's the problem?" Cao Yusheng asked.
"This kind of camouflage is one-way in terms of interaction." Yang Tuo said, "The Dover demon population can sense the neural signals of the pretender, but the pretender cannot sense the neural signals of the Dover demon population, so there is no feedback.
This is like two people sneaking into the enemy camp. The enemy will not be suspicious at first when they see that the two look like their own.
But these two people can't speak, can't respond to communication, just like dumb.
After a long time like this, it will definitely be exposed. "
"Yes." Miao Guangqi nodded, "This is indeed a problem, but at present we can only do so far.
We now know what the means of remote sensing of Dover demon's nerve signals is electromagnetic waves.
However, the meanings of these neural signals respectively require a large amount of experimental data support, and it is impossible to decipher it only through such a short period of communication between the two Dover demons.
That is, we know they are talking to each other and how to talk, but not what they are saying.
So I can only pretend to be dumb, because not speaking is better than saying the wrong thing. "
Cao Yusheng already understood what he heard, and said, "In other words, this disguise is only temporary and not permanent?"
"It may not last long." Miao Guangqi corrected, "According to our current understanding, the Dover demons have average intelligence and relatively autistic temperament, so they may not have much reaction to this lack of communication.
However, our understanding of them is still very shallow, and the level of the Dover demons we have come into contact with so far is not high, so there will be variables. "
"Then who are you going to suggest to be these two pretenders?" Cao Yusheng asked.
"Lin Shuo must be one, and the other one. Let Lin Shuo decide for himself." Miao Guangqi said, "He is the leader of the hunting gate, and he has the final say on the hunting scene."
