Chapter 1698

But General Meng Tian Tian also shook his head; he didn't know what was going on either.

They could only look toward His Highness.

They wanted to see what His Highness had to say.

Ying Ying Zi Ye had never encountered this before either.

But after a moment of thought, the answer was ready to emerge.

"It should be due to the change in temperature."

The infected's hands and feet can move slightly.

But they haven't woken up.

It is likely related to the temperature; the temperature inside the canyon should be lower than outside.

But it hasn't dropped to an outrageous degree.

The temperature hasn't dropped to a critical threshold yet.

Therefore, the infected can move their hands and feet slightly.

As long as the temperature is higher, they will fall into a deep sleep.

As long as the temperature drops lower, they will become active.

For now, this is the only explanation that makes sense.

Ying Ying Zi Ye hadn't considered the issue of evolution.

This isn't Resident Evil; how could they possibly evolve?

The system previously warned that what was pulled out was a low-level alien space from a parallel world.

In the early stages, they wouldn't even infect other species, so evolution was even more impossible.

In the later stages, it's hard to say.

Therefore, those infected must be eliminated quickly.

Otherwise, who knows what might happen in the later stages.

Besides, it will be winter in a few months.

If they aren't eliminated...

... then they will be able to fight day and night.

If their numbers are too high, it will be dangerous.

They don't get tired, and they don't feel pain.

They will hunt frantically upon encountering flesh and blood.

It's just like a robot that doesn't get exhausted.

Ying Ying Zi Ye roughly explained these things to the two of them.

But he didn't mention the coming of winter.

Perhaps the infected will have already been eliminated by then.

Bringing it up now would only increase their pressure.

There was no need to say this at the moment.

Who knows what will happen in the future?

Upon hearing this, General Meng Tian Tian and the other nodded seriously.

"Temperature change, critical point..."

The two whispered; perhaps it really was like that.

They couldn't refute His Highness's words.

They could only listen quietly.

Once the soldiers had all entered the canyon...

... the sky gradually turned dark.

The soldiers guarding the perimeter began to be vigilant of their surroundings.

"Let's go."

"Enter the canyon."

"Rest for the night, and continue the journey tomorrow morning."

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the sky.

Only then did he end the topic.

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers hurriedly packed their things and left.

By the time they entered the canyon, it was completely dark.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the canyon and nodded with satisfaction.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers entering here didn't feel crowded at all.

This is a natural barrier that can block the infected.

He was arranged to stay in an extra-large camp tent.

There were many soldiers guarding outside.

General Meng Tian Tian issued a series of orders.

Soldiers holding heavy shields guarded the canyon entrance.

Many millstones were also placed there to serve as obstacles.

The entire canyon entrance was protected.

If the infected outside want to come in...

... unless they can break through the soldiers' guard...

... they won't be able to get in.

Night fell.

Occasionally, one or two roars could be heard from outside the canyon.

Soldiers near the outside of the canyon could hear these roars.

But those deep inside the canyon felt nothing.

The canyon was narrow outside and wide inside.

Therefore, not many people were needed to guard it.

Most of the people were resting.

Only a small portion were on guard duty.

In the dead of night.

The roars gradually grew louder.

Wave after wave.

But soon, those roars disappeared.

The next day.

The sky was gray.

Everyone in the canyon woke up.

At this time, it was quiet outside the canyon.

After they finished their breakfast and walked out of the canyon...

... they saw a rather shocking scene.

The area outside the canyon was filled with the corpses of the infected.

By visual estimation, the number was at least around ten thousand.

"That's a lot."

"I guess all the infected in the surrounding area were drawn here, right?"

Han Xin looked at the corpses in shock.

In this desolate wilderness, there were actually so many infected.

From the scarred man, they learned...

... that this area was full of villages and sparsely populated.

Yet there were truly quite a lot of infected.

Now the sky was bright.
