With a gun in hand, Zuo Zhicheng felt a lot more confident. However, he knew that the ghouls seemed to have psionic vision, so he took out a pair of gloves and a hood from his pocket. Like his clothes, the gloves were coated with lead to prevent others from detecting his heat radiation. With this, he entered a completely stealthy state.
Then, he climbed up to the vent like a nimble monkey. After looking inside for a while, he climbed in.
The vent was a little narrow and could only fit one person at a time. After Zuo Zhicheng went in, he realized that it was just right. If he was a little stronger, he would not have been able to squeeze in. Even so, he could only see in front of him. He could not even see behind him.
The narrow space, the dark pipe, and the possibility of unknown monsters in the pipe gave him a lot of psychological pressure.
However, Zuo Zhicheng's ability to withstand pressure was naturally very strong. His expression did not change as he continued to move forward quickly in the tunnel. However, the tunnel was not as long as Zuo Zhicheng had imagined. In just two minutes, he had arrived at the entrance of the cave. It was a vent on the ground. The cover had been bitten off by an animal. Zuo Zhicheng pushed it slightly and the cover was pushed open.
Zuo Zhicheng crawled out and looked around. It was a small forest, and the vent was in a small patch of grass.
'It seems like this vent is only used to ventilate the underground dock.' Zuo Zhicheng thought for a while, then put the cover back on the vent and ran out of the grass.
It was already the latter half of the night. The bright moon in the sky was emitting cold moonlight. The lights on the entire island were waning. After the robbery, most of the people had gone to sleep after dividing the loot.
Zuo Zhicheng activated Nightsea. His already strange and unpredictable stealth skills had a qualitative leap. All the light around his body was being absorbed bit by bit, making him look like a moving shadow. This state made it even harder for him to be discovered in the dark.
He walked around and found that the island was not big. Most of the island was covered by lush vegetation. The pirate base was located on a hill in the east of the island.
Zuo Zhicheng turned into a shadow and covered a tree branch. His eyes kept scanning the lights on the hill. Through his night vision and long-distance vision, Zuo Zhicheng could clearly see the layout of the pirate base.
'Their cave dock should be inside the hill. Their base should be on the hill.' Zuo Zhicheng's left pupil kept spinning and contracting as he took in everything that was happening in the distance.
'The layout of the houses is very messy …' Zuo Zhicheng's eyes swept across a few patrolling pirates. 'The defense is weak. One pink on the cliff.
Five pink and one purple at the bottom.
There are also four teams of twenty patrolling the forest near the hill. '
After looking for a while, Zuo Zhicheng concluded, 'Not only is the defense weak, but there are also many blind spots and loopholes in the patrolling route.'
After thinking about it, Zuo Zhicheng still could not be sure if the pirates were not vigilant and thought that the pirates were very safe. Or did the ghouls have some hidden means to detect the enemy's attack?
He saw a shadow in the sky above the forest, jumping from tree to tree like an ape. After a few minutes, he suddenly stopped among the leaves on a tree branch. It looked like he had blended with the night, and there was no trace of anyone.
More than ten seconds later, a team of five pirates walked past the tree branch where Zuo Zhicheng was. This was their patrol route.
Naturally, Zuo Zhicheng's goal wasn't to attack them. Instead, he was looking at their equipment and clothes. They were still using ordinary machetes, daggers, and other cold weapons. There was no uniform. Zuo Zhicheng could clearly see that the clothes on several of the men were all snatched from others. Some of them obviously didn't fit.
'Looks like they haven't come into contact with the modern equipment yet.' Zuo Zhicheng estimated the size and distance of the hill. 'It looks like the modern base is also under the hill, but they haven't found it yet.'
Zuo Zhicheng looked at the other patrolling teams' equipment and clothes. He was sure that they did not have any modern equipment or tools.
'Although I have some information, I still lack a survivor.' With that thought, Zuo Zhicheng turned into a shadow and ran towards the pirate base. He finally landed on a tree. About ten meters in front of him was the pirate's house.
Zuo Zhicheng scanned the area with his infrared vision and saw many pink figures sleeping in the rooms of the Datong Pawn Shop. There were also some purple sparks in the self-built courtyards.
Just as Zuo Zhicheng was about to continue observing, he suddenly heard a whistling sound behind his head.
With a swoosh, he pulled out his machete and turned around. When he saw the thing behind his head, the machete in his hand flashed like a bolt of lightning.
After the sound of metal colliding was heard, Zuo Zhicheng felt a strong force coming from his dagger. With his night vision, he could clearly see that the thing that attacked him was a huge monster bird.
The reason why it was called a strange bird was because it had a ghost face on its head. It looked like a deformed human face. Its eyes were only the size of mung beans, and its nose took up about one-third of its face. The mouth under the nose looked like a combination of a rabbit's mouth and a rodent's mouth, which gave people goosebumps.
In particular, its entire face was the color of defeat. There were no pores, eyebrows, eyelashes, or anything like that.
However, this bird was extremely strong. Its iron claws were like metal and stone. After colliding with Zuo Zhicheng's dagger, it was unscathed and returned to the night sky.
The darkness of the night could usually cover him, but in Zuo Zhicheng's eyes, it was of no use. The monster bird circled around the forest and came behind Zuo Zhicheng again. It accelerated and rushed towards the back of his head.
"What a vengeful beast!" Zuo Zhicheng sneered. He turned his head and pretended that he did not see the other party. He only turned around when he heard the whistling sound behind his head.
A bright bolt of lightning shot out from Zuo Zhicheng's hand in the night sky. A muffled sound of thunder could even be heard in the air. The strange bird let out a blood-curdling scream. Its stomach had already been cut open by Zuo Zhicheng's blade, and then it fell to the ground.
