Doomsday Code

Chapter 383: Secret Surveillance

After the two left, Captain Mole took the crude map given by Chen Cheng, looked at it, then crumpled it into a ball and threw it down the hillside.

Not long after the map fell to the ground, the ground began to wriggle, and then a claw stretched out from the ground and grabbed the discarded map.

Then the ground returned to its original state.

It turns out that not only Huidun and his team have a plan, but these intelligent gophers are not stupid either. Although on the surface there is only one gopher team led by Captain Gopher, there is another team of gophers following in secret.

Time soon came to night, and everyone had dinner around the campfire.

And taking advantage of this time, Chen Cheng wanted to discuss tomorrow's search arrangements.

Of course, he was also saying this to the mole beside him.

However, just when he asked Captain Mole for the map he had forgotten to take away and wanted to assign tasks according to the map, Captain Mole felt a pang in his heart. He then searched his body as if nothing had happened, and then said awkwardly:

"I'm sorry, the quality of this dress is not very good. There is a hole in the pocket and I don't know when the map fell out."

Chen Cheng didn't say much, just nodded, and then he picked up a piece of firewood and started drawing on the ground.

Then Chen Cheng began to assign tasks in an orderly manner.

After he finished speaking, Chen Cheng yawned and said:

"It's getting late. I'm going to bed first. You should all get some rest early too."

Others thought Chen Cheng was concerned, but Monet was smart enough and waved his hand at Chen Cheng:

"Well, if you're sleepy, go to sleep. We've been stuck in the cell for the past few days. We finally got out, so we have to act nice."

Although the others didn't know what the two were up to, they all followed Monet's lead.

"You guys, forget it. We have to get up early tomorrow anyway, so don't blame me if you can't get up tomorrow."

"Don't worry, we've gotten enough sleep these past few days, and we'll definitely be able to get up tomorrow."

Although Chen Cheng showed a helpless and smiling expression on his face, he actually gave Monet a thumbs up in his heart.

It would be great if we could have more smart teammates like this.

He opened his tent and went in, where Huidun had been waiting for a long time.

Just now, after Chen Cheng failed to get the blueprint from Captain Gopher, he returned to the tent on the grounds that he already knew the distribution.

Because this map was the test object that the two had arranged long ago.

It just follows the idea of trying your best to get something.

Maybe these gophers are just so rough and they really took the map away.

In fact, Chen Cheng intended to make the map simple.

It is impossible for Captain Gopher to leave their sight for a long time. If there are other gophers in the dark, it would be impossible for him to remember the abstract map by memory. He can only carry the map with him.

As long as they didn't ask for the map at night, the two of them would be 80 to 90 percent sure that there was a mole following them in secret.

The two men will never forget the scene of being caught that night. A big hole suddenly appeared in the ground, and they were captured before they could even react.

Chen Cheng used the gap to observe outside, and after not finding anyone eavesdropping, he sat opposite Huidun and said with a gloomy face:

"It seems that these gophers are not stupid. There are more gophers following us secretly, and they may be right under our feet."

Huidun's face didn't look very good either.

"So what should we do?"

Chen Cheng gritted his teeth, then revealed a cruel smile and said:

"Originally I just wanted to shock them, but now it seems that I have to teach them a bloody lesson."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng took out a number of hammer-like objects from his space bag.

"What is this thing?"

Huidun had never seen this grenade before. It was a special melee weapon that Chen Cheng specially prepared for this exploration.

"The hand grenades are still under testing. These are the first batch of test samples made by the arsenal, but the pass rate should be guaranteed."

Chen Cheng didn't need to explain any further. Just by looking at the name of the grenade, Huidun knew that the power of this thing must be extraordinary.

Then Chen Cheng told Huidun how to use the grenade.

Chen Cheng asked the arsenal to develop this wooden-handled grenade because he valued its advantage of being simple and easy to use.

So after just a few times, Huidun knew how to use the grenade.

Unscrew the metal cover at the end of the wooden handle, then pull the fuse and throw it directly at the enemy.

After taking out dozens of wooden-handled grenades at once, Chen Cheng said:

"Now we can start the preliminary assembly of the howitzer. Tomorrow morning, Monet and his men will delay for a while. I will take Captain Gopher away first. After that, you can rely on this wooden-handled grenade to gain the upper hand."

"This grenade has a simple structure. You can tell Monet how to use it later. I believe he will be able to master it quickly."

Then Chen Cheng smiled at Huidun and said:

"Brother, my life will be in your hands tomorrow. If you are slow, I might be killed by the mole captain first."

It is because this deterrence is a race against time that it is said that luring away Captain Gopher is extremely dangerous.

The two then carried the howitzer components out, and in order to prevent the moles underground from hearing the sound, they used the low-level magic of levitation and control that they had learned to speed up the assembly of the howitzer.

Looking at the assembled howitzer in front of him, he knew that the deterrence against the mole tribe tomorrow would depend on him.

At this time, a pit appeared on the ground of Captain Gopher's tent, and a gopher crawled out from the ground.

"I suspect they already suspect us. How are you monitoring underground?"

“They can doubt if they want, but as long as they don’t mess around, we won’t show up.

We have been monitoring them all the time, but those guys outside are too noisy, so we can't hear them clearly. But don't worry, there are no major problems for now."

The gopher pointed outside, and outside Monet was leading people around the campfire singing.

I don't know if this guy did it on purpose, but he sang very loudly, but he is tone-deaf.

Those gophers listening underground are having a miserable time.

The solid ground is the fastest medium for sound propagation, and they dug a small hole underground to live in, which is like they made a stethoscope for themselves.

The clanging roar almost ruptured the gophers' eardrums.

These guys kept making noise until late at night before returning to the camp to rest.

The gophers below were all dizzy from the shock, and the captain had no choice but to let them all rest.

"That damn guy is just a noise maker. Don't let me catch him, or I'll make him pay for it."

As he said this, Captain Gopher picked his ears and felt that guy's roar was still in his ears.
