GOC's camp had been attacked. Everyone had disappeared, and so had their equipment.
After Zhang Jue's initial 'interrogation' of the fake Hunter, he confirmed that the Snake Hand was behind this.
Unlike GOC, the people of the Snake Hand were more adept at using abnormal items to participate in battles. It was not hard to imagine that GOC's camp had been completely wiped out when they were unprepared.
As for where GOC's people were and whether they were dead or alive, they would have to wait for the professional team to interrogate this captive.
However, Zhang Jue could not wait any longer. He had more important things to do now — find the dragon's lair.
Obviously, this person from the Snake Hand had risked his life to stay here to prevent GOC's support team or the SCP Foundation from investigating the dragon.
Do what your enemy doesn't want you to do. That's a very simple reason — he's definitely not going there for the so-called dragon's treasure, really.
In fact, Zhang Jue had already noticed that the dragon was behaving strangely.
When Zhang Jue had first seen it, it had obviously wanted to attack the plane, but it had given up in the end.
Last night, it had charged toward Zhang Jue and the others, but it had changed its mind at the last moment. It had even hit the ground with its head.
Based on its contradictory behavior, this dragon seemed to have Dragon's Personality Dissociation Syndrome, just like SCP-106 (Scary Old Man).
Since the Snake Hand valued this dragon so much, Zhang Jue felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. This dragon must be hiding some secrets.
At that thought, Zhang Jue wanted to curse at GOC again.
They were the first to discover this giant dragon. After fighting with it for so long, they had not found any valuable clues. Instead, the Snake Hand had beaten them to it. The Snake Hand must have been thinking about how to kill it. What an idiot.
However, it was useless to say more. GOC had already paid the price. What they had to do now was to find the dragon as soon as possible and see what tricks it had up its sleeves.
Zhang Jue had a feeling that they would lose everything if they were too late.
There was no time to lose. Zhang Jue arranged for Hayle and his assistant to stay at GOC's camp and waited for them to meet up with Harvey. Then, he continued to move forward.
"Mr. Zhang, how about I go with you?" Haile said hesitantly. "It's too dangerous to go alone in the mountains."
"No." Zhang Jue waved his hand and pointed at the dispirited Davis and the tied up fake Hunter. "Neither of them is easy to deal with. If you want to make them obedient, you have to suppress them with your strength. If you leave with me, believe it or not, when you come back, your assistant won't even have a bone left."
Haile looked at Zhang Jue and then looked at his assistant. He sighed and said, "But Mr. Zhang, if anything happens to you, I'm afraid I'll be the one being bitten."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft! What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Jue kicked his butt. "I'm wise and brave. Do you think I'm someone who will get into trouble? You should worry about yourselves. Alright, cut the crap. I'm leaving. You two be careful. "
Zhang Jue carried his backpack and continued to move deeper into the mountains. He did not give Haile a chance to reject him.
He did not notice that he had done something he should not have done in order to reassure Haile — he had set up an FG.
That was a terrible thing to do.
All in all, Zhang Jue was on his way to find the dragon's lair by himself due to various coincidences.
GOC's camp was not far from the dragon's lair. It was only a few kilometers away in a straight line — any closer and they would be attacked.
However, these few kilometers of mountain roads were quite far and dangerous for one person.
Anyone with experience in exploring the wild would know that there was a huge difference between traveling alone and traveling with two people.
Zhang Jue decided to take the risk not because he wanted to court death. It was for the same reason that he had agreed to meet Shirley with Haile. He had a bad feeling that if he did not go, something worse would happen.
It would happen.
Fortunately, he had various abilities now. Even if something happened, he could protect himself. That was why he did not want Haile to come with him.
GOC knew the general direction of the dragon's lair. However, it was too dangerous, so they did not go near it.
Zhang Jue asked for a map and a compass. Then, he walked forward with difficulty.
In his mind, he kept recalling all the information about the giant dragon that GOC had provided.
Due to his father's influence, Zhang Jue had done special memory training since he was young. He had mastered a memory method similar to a 'bookshelf'.
