My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1476
[1467. Chapter 1444: Visit Excuse, Opportunity Comes!]
Boom.
Boom.
There were continuous explosion sounds coming from the headphones, like muffled thunder, sometimes high-pitched and harsh, sometimes low and gentle.
There was an irrepressible light of excitement flashing in Guobuluo’s eyes, and the light was so intense that his eyes even flushed slightly.
A whole night of torment and sleepiness were swept away by this sudden excitement at this moment, leaving only madness.
Ordinary special items, even if they are close at hand, cannot reach this level of signal.
At best, the detection value of the detector will soar to a higher level, and the sound can still be controlled within an appropriate range, neither too weak to be ignored nor too noisy to make people uncomfortable.
However, the particular object detected this time is different.
Abstractly speaking, Guobuluo even felt that someone was talking to him through this signal detector.
It’s just that the detector cannot analyze the opponent’s frequency band, which results in the phenomenon of exceeding the detection range of the detector.
What kind of thing could actually talk?
Guo Buluo didn’t dare to imagine it at all. This was something he had never come across since he started studying these special items.
Moreover, ordinary fluctuations of divine power can still roughly determine the direction through changes in sound.
For fluctuations like the current one, he could only barely judge by the reading pointer on the instrument.
If the pointer jumps faster, it means that the direction of progress is correct.
“32 degrees northeast, keep going!”
“Turn southwest 117 degrees, turn quickly, the signal is getting weaker!”
“Speed up, speed up!”
“No, the signal is clearly weakening. Bring me the map.”
Guobuluo kept giving orders and deciding the direction of the ship based on the signals from the detector.
For ordinary special items, the signal can last about ten to fifteen minutes, after which it will decay rapidly.
Even if there are occasional ones that can last up to twenty minutes, the final signal will hardly provide guidance.
This special item is different. It took half an hour for the signal to slightly attenuate.
Unfortunately, the patrol boat was not going very fast, and it had to stop to identify the direction every kilometer. As a result, half an hour passed before it only traveled about 20 kilometers.
“The map is here!”
The guard on the ship pulled out two maps.
One is a topographic map of the surrounding area, and the other is a map of power distribution.
Based on the signal response transmitted back, Guobuluo quickly confirmed the search target.
The terrain in this direction is more complex, with many mountains, rivers, deep valleys, and lakes, so there are only three territories.
They are the ‘Tyrael Territory’ supported by the Tesla Territory, the ‘Stone Territory’ built on the surrounding mountains, and the ‘Dragon Palace Territory’ surrounded by a tributary of the Dragon Fairy River.
“That’s easy.”
Guo Buluo was quite surprised and thought that his luck was really good.
If there are small territories within the reaction range that need assistance from other federal territories, some measures will inevitably be needed.
Now it’s easy. Tyrael’s territory is ours, so we can search however we want.
The other two territories are also small territories that are not on the assistance list. If they are given a little bit of profit, the Tyrael Territory might cooperate with them.
It is this complex terrain.
Guo Buluo paused and planned to put the Tyrael territory last according to the process of elimination.
Following the fluctuation, when the fluctuation became negligible, Guobuluo eliminated the first point.
“The thing is not on the island, nor in this area. The Dragon Palace territory can be ruled out.”
“Head to that boulder territory!”
Fortunately, it is not near the Dragon Palace territory, where there are many tributaries of the giant Dragon River, as well as many lakes and deep valleys.
If that special item is underwater, it will be very difficult to find it.
As the saying goes, one can deceive the mountains but not the water. Guo Buluo would rather take his men to dig three feet deep in the mountains than stay in the water for even a minute.
The patrol boat turned around and set off again along the map.
Almost forty minutes had passed, and around nine o’clock, the signal response was almost non-existent.
Only the slightly jumping numbers on the instrument can barely give a direction.
The patrol boat cut through the waves on the sparkling river.
From a distance, a not-so-simple stone pier came into view. An eye-catching signboard swayed gently in the wind, with a few large characters engraved on it –
‘Jianshi Pier’.
In the early morning sunshine, the pier seemed particularly peaceful, without the noisy and crowded crowds like other territories.
Looking closer, you can see nearly a hundred sampans of various sizes moored densely at the dock.
There is no motorboat, it should be the dock built in the boulder territory.
“Strange, this pier is built quite nicely.”
Guo Buluo narrowed his eyes and looked at this integrated pier that seemed to be formed by nature.
The pier does not have many signs of artificial excavation and looks like it was cast in one go.
But it is impossible for ordinary stones to make the steps so fine and without any unnecessary ups and downs.
He lowered his head and glanced at the reading on the instrument.
Um, the pointer is almost back to zero.
I don’t know if it’s because the thing is not in the boulder territory, or if the fluctuations have disappeared.
Four guards armed with rifles came out of the stone house behind the dock.
“Please stop, this is the control area of the Giant Stone Territory. What are you doing here?”
The leading guard glanced at the conspicuous golden giant eagle logo on the ship and took a step forward, acting neither humble nor arrogant.
“Tell them we dropped something nearby and are looking for it. Speak naturally and don’t draw attention to it.”
Guobuluo reminded that the specific reaction location of the special item could not be found today, and it would inevitably wander around in the next few days.
The patrol boat needs a suitable reason so as not to attract the attention of the other party.
Although there would be no consequences for drawing attention to such a small territory that was not on the support list, Guo Buluo did not want to create any more trouble in order to maintain his cautious style.
“You can find something, do you need our help?”
“No, no, we may stay nearby for a while. Thank you for your help, guys.” The guard on the patrol boat was also very capable. While speaking, he took out half a bag of dried fruits from the cabin.
Finding the relationship between the two sides handled harmoniously, Guobuluo nodded with satisfaction and returned to the machine again.
It was still early, so he planned to go to Tyrael’s territory to take a look and look around.
Wait until tomorrow when the reaction becomes strong again, and then come back to explore the area around the Giant Stone Territory.
“I hope that the special function of this thing can be of some help to the territory. This way, we can apply for more funds, and then it will be easy to improve the machine.”
Guobulo turned the knob. The more he used Unit-01, the more eager he was to improve it.
It’s not like now, like a headless fly, where we can only use the elimination process to screen out one by one.
“Hey, what’s going on? No response. Is it broken?”
I turned the knob twice, but the pointer didn’t respond at all.
Guo Buluo raised his hand and tapped the top cover of the machine a few times as if he was repairing an old big-head TV.
Snap, snap, snap!
The sound is quite loud, but it has no effect.
No matter how I turned the knobs of the four readable pointers, they could not return to zero and all remained at the maximum limit.
And it was different from before when it received a strong signal, when the pointer would continue to tremble at the maximum limit.
This time the pointer was completely stuck and there was no response at all.
“What happened? Was the wave too strong and burned my machine?”
There was a trace of astonishment on Guobuluo’s face.
When the margin was designed, the detector had been designed to the maximum extent possible. How could it burn?
“Headphones, the headphones will not be burned out too, right?”
I picked up the headphones and listened, but sure enough, no sound came out.
It seems that there was a problem with the previous signal, and the machine malfunctioned after running for a long time.
Then he tried to repair it in various ways. After confirming that it could not be repaired without disassembling it, Guo Buluo could only sigh.
He died before he could accomplish his mission.
Nothing was found and the machine had problems. The project will definitely be questioned by the people in the territory.
It seems that the difficulty of applying for the next batch of funds will increase significantly.
“I must find that special item.” He made up his mind secretly.
However, at this moment, the detector that had completely crashed suddenly responded.
Boom!
An unprecedented muffled sound, like the low roar of an ancient beast, suddenly exploded from the headphones.
Guo Buluo was so frightened that he trembled and stood up immediately.
Then, a series of deafening rumbling sounds like beating drums came out from the headphones continuously, like thunder in the sky or roaring from the ground, interweaving into an unknown and strange symphony.
At the same time, the pointer on the instrument began to dance wildly, as if disturbed by some invisible force. It first suddenly returned to zero, as if everything was wiped out in an instant, and then rushed to the maximum limit, swinging back and forth.
“What the hell. What the hell is going on?”
Guo Buluo was confused.
His first reaction was that the machine had more serious quality problems.
But after a few seconds, he suddenly realized that the previous freeze was not caused by a problem with the machine, but because the fluctuation far exceeded the detection range.
Every minute and every second, the signal received by the machine exceeds that limit, so the range cannot be displayed.
Now that the signal fluctuations have shrunk, detection is possible.
“It’s that thing again!”
Guobuluo stood up excitedly. This was the first time he encountered an object that could send out two signals in a single day.
Could it be that our current location is extremely close to where the item is hidden?
“To Tyrael’s territory, quickly, quickly!”
The patrol boat started moving, its powerful force cutting through the river surface as it sped towards Tyrael’s territory.
The four guards standing on the shore were a little surprised at first. They were just looking for something, so why did they leave in such a hurry in just a few minutes?
However, less than ten minutes later, the patrol boat came back and stopped suddenly in front of the dock.
In the cabin, a red-faced man ran out and looked towards the direction of the village in astonishment.
His eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion, as if he had discovered something incomprehensible.
“So that’s the Monolith territory?”
“Yes, yes, that’s our stronghold.” The guard didn’t understand and nodded.
Just now he had reported the arrival of the patrol boat to Lou Zhigang through the private chat on the game panel.
The answer was that we must keep a sufficient distance from these “distinguished guests” from the golden giant eagles.
It’s not good to be too close, and it’s not good to be too far either.
To sum it up in two sentences, don’t say anything you shouldn’t say, and if you are not sure whether you should say it or not, just shut up.
“Have you found anything strange recently?”
“Hmm.” The captain of the guard frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head honestly.
“Can we go in?”
“Hmm,” the captain of the guard continued to shake his head.
“We cannot allow irrelevant people to enter the territory. If you want to enter, I can apply to the lord.”
“Then please help us apply.”
What he was going to find was on the stone mountain in the Giant Stone Territory. Guo Buluo lowered his voice and tried to look normal.
Although he knew very well that his motives had been clearly exposed in his previous and subsequent reactions, and his purpose was very strong.
But at this moment, he could no longer contain the excitement in his heart and couldn’t wait to find the special item that could make the detection machine crash.
What a pity.
“Um, I’m sorry. I just received a message from the Lord that the mountain stronghold of the territory is drying grain these days. Sorry, we can’t receive you guests. You can leave your contact information and we will send someone to notify you when we open the mountain stronghold.”
Got rejected?
Guobuluo’s first reaction was some disbelief, but then he immediately realized that his application was indeed abrupt.
First of all, he did not reveal his identity clearly, and the other party did not even know which territory they were from.
Furthermore, they are very purposeful, so it is normal for the other party to be on guard. It would be a bit strange if they were really welcomed in so easily.
The last and most important point.
The Stone Territory is not on the list of aid recipients, and has neither received any aid nor the favor of the Golden Giant Eagle.
Perhaps they still harbor resentment towards the Golden Giant Eagle, but due to the power gap between the two, they dare not express it obviously.
“I understand. We are from the Golden Giant Eagle Tesla Territory. Later, I will ask the lord to apply to the lord of your territory through official channels!”
“Thank you for your help, distinguished guest.” The captain of the guard nodded obediently and memorized the name of Tesla Territory.
As soon as the patrol boat left, he quickly opened the game panel and sent the name to Lou Zhigang.
“The Golden Eagle, or the Tesla territory next to it that is helping the Tyrell territory?”
Inside the room, Lao Zhang suddenly stood up from the stool and laughed, showing his yellow teeth.
“It looks like our chance has come!”
Although it is unclear what the other party is looking for, what the Stone Territory needs is an opportunity for the other party to take the initiative.
