Long Yuehong took out the team's radio transceiver while Jiang Baimian was writing a report to the company on a piece of paper.

She artfully grafted her previous experience contacting the "Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair" radio station onto this incident to explain why she had Genava switch modes and detect locations.

And she described Genava as a collaborator, which would subconsciously lead the company to believe that this intelligent robot came from Wang Fugui's team.

After setting the stage with the survivor's experience, she officially moved into the main topic, talking about how she and Wang Fugui's team found the cave, how they went deeper step by step, how they discovered the Wasteland No. 13 Ruins, how they determined it was wrong, how they escaped Wu Meng's weird intrusion, and how they ran away, omitting no key points, no matter how trivial.

--If "Pangu Biology" wanted to find the survivor Jiang Baimian mentioned to verify the "Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair" radio station matter, then Jiang Baimian would tell them that, unfortunately, the other party suffered an infection in the subsequent treatment and failed to survive, losing his life.

To this end, the name she reported belonged to one of the ruin hunters who had encountered a similar situation.

In short, the core is one sentence:

Dead men tell no tales!

After translating the report into a telegram and sending it out, the "Old Tune Team" received confirmation feedback from "Pangu Biology."

This was confirmation that they had received their telegram, and further instructions might have to wait a day or two, or even longer.

Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief and said to the other members of the team:

"Take turns to rest and catch up on sleep."

Another meaning of rest was to quickly charge those high-performance batteries.

--In the Forward Camp, electricity bills were much more expensive than in Initial City, and the "Old Tune Team's" savings were decreasing at a visible rate.

In the afternoon, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, who were on patrol duty, walked back and forth with assault rifles in their hands, without the slightest slack.

Suddenly, they heard a "thump" sound from inside the team's jeep.

Long Yuehong subconsciously took a step forward and opened the corresponding rear door.

And Bai Chen had raised the muzzle of his gun, aiming at that side, ready.

Then, they saw Jiang Baimian, who was sleeping in the seat, had somehow flipped down, supporting the carpet with her left hand, almost upside down.

"Team Leader, what's wrong?" Long Yuehong asked cautiously.

Jiang Baimian straightened her waist and bounced back into the seat, laughing dryly twice and said:

"Had a dream."

Then, her face straightened:

"That dream made me discover a problem."

Her serious attitude and solemn expression naturally made Long Yuehong and Bai Chen ignore the fact that she had been "scared" by the nightmare and rolled off the seat.

When Shang Jianyao woke up in the other car and gathered here with Genava, Jiang Baimian said solemnly:

"I dreamed of those ruin hunters who had previously 'followed' White Wolf. They were wandering like zombies in the Black Wasteland, in the city ruins.

"After waking up, I realized something was wrong:

"The data doesn't match."

"What data?" Long Yuehong conscientiously played the role of asking the question.

Of course, he really asked when he didn't understand.

Jiang Baimian recalled and said:

"Just calculating the last two months, even if White Wolf eats one person every day, he can only eat 61 people."

"Those survivors said they didn't eat every day, but regularly, about every two or three days." Bai Chen reminded the team leader.

"I'm estimating on the high side." Jiang Baimian explained her thoughts, and then added, "The followers we killed and the surviving ruin hunters add up to 35, and according to the guild's statistics, in the last two months, there have been about one hundred and seventy or eighty ruin hunters and wasteland wanderers who have disappeared in the North Shore Mountains."

Hearing this, Long Yuehong already understood what the team leader meant:

The data on both sides doesn't match!

Some of the missing have disappeared without a trace!

"Even if you deduct the part of the people who disappeared due to hunting, exploration, and other things, it is estimated that one hundred and twenty or thirty people have been affected by White Wolf." Jiang Baimian continued, "That is to say, there are still about thirty people who are neither by White Wolf's side nor eaten by him."

After a pause, Jiang Baimian asked with a serious face:

"So, where did they go?"

"According to the survivors' description, only twenty-four or five people may have been eaten by White Wolf, and about sixty or even more are missing." Bai Chen thought and added, "Because this is a unilateral statistic from the guild, there will definitely be omissions."

As for the situation before the White Wolf mission was issued, no one in the North Shore Mountains kept statistics. There is no unified organization here, and no strong force with control.

"Does that mean that nearly half of the humans affected by White Wolf in the last two months are missing?" Long Yuehong said in a rather uncertain tone.

Shang Jianyao revealed a look of sudden realization:

"They've been stored?"

"Keeping them by your side is also storing." Jiang Baimian denied this guess.

She immediately ordered:

"Let's split into two groups and ask those survivors to see who knows about this, and also record the specific time they were affected by White Wolf.

"Hey, it was too hasty at the time, and some details may have been missed."

Without anyone nagging, the "Old Tune Team" looked for survivors such as Long En according to the plan of Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao as a group, and Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Genava as a group.

About forty minutes later, they met on the third floor of the castle's main building, where the survivors were receiving treatment.

"Everyone we've asked so far says they don't know if White Wolf has any other lairs or other followers." Long Yuehong took the initiative to report.

Bai Chen glanced at the memo in his hand and said slightly solemnly:

"But there is one problem, these people were only affected by White Wolf in the last month."

"The situation I collected is also the same." Jiang Baimian responded.

"The ones from the previous month expired and were thrown away by White Wolf?" Shang Jianyao blurted out in surprise.

His wording made Long Yuehong and others not know how to answer.

Only Genava said honestly:

"There is still so much expired food in the cave, it shouldn't be a problem to feed those people."

Jiang Baimian thought for a while, and after careful consideration, said:

"There are still two people left who haven't been asked. The other survivors said that these two people were already following White Wolf when they were affected by White Wolf."

One is called Richard, and the other is called Louis.

Richard's injuries were lighter. After treatment and rest, he was able to walk freely, and then left this sad place and returned to Initial City. The "Old Tune Team" couldn't find him for a while.

Louis, on the other hand, seemed to have some savings and had booked a room in the camp's hotel.

Knock, knock, knock, Long Yuehong knocked on Louis's door.

Louis, with slightly fluffy flaxen hair, quickly opened the wooden door.

Seeing the "Old Tune Team" of five people, his face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously took two steps back:

"You, what do you want to do?"

"We have a question to ask you." Shang Jianyao showed a kind smile.

Louis's eyes stagnated, his emotions suddenly collapsed, and he shouted hysterically:

"I don't want to take revenge!

"I don't want to take revenge!"

Hearing this sentence, Long Yuehong suddenly remembered that this was the survivor who had looked at him with hateful eyes before.

Seeing Jiang Baimian twitch her eyebrows, Shang Jianyao chuckled out loud, Louis became even more nervous, backing away while begging for mercy:

"I, I thought about it, but I don't have the ability, I, I don't have the ability!"

After shouting this sentence, he fell to the ground, covered his face, and said with a sob:

"I've already given up, I've really given up, I, I'm useless, I'm sorry for them! I'm sorry for them..."

The sound of despair, fear, and sadness echoed in the room, making Long Yuehong sigh.

After Louis calmed down a little, Jiang Baimian deliberately lowered her voice and said:

"You have two choices now, one is to be killed by us, and the other is to answer our question, and then leave here and never return, and don't be seen by us again."

Louis was silent for two seconds, released his palms, and asked eagerly:

"What question?"

His face was full of tears.

"When you first 'followed' White Wolf, there should have been dozens of people around him, where did they go?" Jiang Baimian asked the question she had been thinking about for a long time.

Louis's expression changed and he said:

"They, they followed White Wolf into the depths of the cave and never came back..."

His eyes were full of fear.

This matter seemed to have become his lingering nightmare.

Entered the depths of the cave? Sent to the Wasteland No. 13 Ruins? Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and others all instinctively flashed such an idea.

After "expelling" Louis, they exchanged ideas about this matter for a while, and finally came to a unified understanding:

Those missing people are likely related to the Wasteland No. 13 Ruins.

As for why White Wolf wanted to send those humans into the Wasteland No. 13 Ruins, Jiang Baimian and others lacked enough clues and couldn't even make guesses.

Shang Jianyao, on the other hand, proposed a horror story-like possibility:

"Experimental subjects."

…………

The next day, during the fixed company contact time slot, the "Old Tune Team" received a telegram from "Pangu Biology":

"We understand your situation... Wu Meng can only exert influence remotely without the aid of language on various electrical appliances, including intelligent robots. If you want to explore the Wasteland No. 13 Ruins, please eliminate the hidden dangers in this regard in advance..."

"The company tends to let us do some exploration..." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully.

Genava immediately opened his mouth:

"Then I can only do the reception."

He simulated three points of frustration and three points of loss of emotion.

Just as the "Old Tune Team" put away the radio transceiver and discussed this matter, Wang Fugui walked over using the light of the street lamp.

He looked at Jiang Baimian and the others and said sincerely:

"I've thought about it, Wu Meng's 'Dao' should be in electrical appliances and electronic products. If you don't bring these, you may be able to bypass his influence."

This... Long Yuehong's eyes widened slightly as he listened.

Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen were also quite surprised.

Wang Fugui's statement was almost the same as the advice given by the company!
