Chapter 287 The opponent is too strong, should we play it safe for once?
Because the number of evolved beings in Kangcheng and Mucheng was greater than the number of soldiers in this army, and they were well prepared, it did not take much time to deal with these soldiers.
Of course, the solution here is not to kill them all, but to knock them unconscious.
Otherwise, there would be no need for all this trouble.
"Tiger, there's something strange about what those soldiers said earlier."
Could this be like when Tree Lord's pine cones matured, with a mental evolutionist pulling the strings behind the scenes?
What do we do next?
After knocking out and tying up the soldiers who had been controlled by the Purple Gold Bowl, Yi Chen asked with a stern expression.
"Ow~!"
Cang Nian nodded, confirming Yi Chen's guess.
He thought so too.
Someone has tampered with the memories of the soldiers in this military fortress!
They even subjected them to intense mental manipulation, causing them to lose their minds and kill all the original evolved individuals among them.
The most terrifying thing is that they themselves kill the people they are close to and care about.
It's easy to imagine how despicable the people behind this are.
However, what puzzled him was that this was too outrageous.
After the nine soldiers realized they had been psychologically affected and had killed their squad leader, they were no longer willing to divulge any information.
According to their testimonies, this military fortress was indeed the 79th Army Group stationed on the border between China and North Korea.
However, this military fortress now contains not only troops, but also survivors from the nearby city of Yancheng.
According to their recollections, the original 79th Army Group had a full complement of 100,000 soldiers.
But now, only a little over 30,000 people remain.
Because military fortresses don't have tall buildings, are top-of-the-line in terms of specifications, and the soldiers are physically much better than ordinary people.
Therefore, there were no deaths, at most injuries, in the earthquake that night of the spiritual revival.
Some of these deaths and injuries occurred during battles with evolved creatures.
However, most of the dead and injured did not know the specifics of what happened; the memory was vague in their minds, and they could only recall a few fragmented images.
As for the survivors of Yancheng, thanks to the help of the army during the early stages of the spiritual energy revival, the small city, which originally had a population of only over three million, similar to Kangcheng, had more than 1.2 million survivors.
However, now only 500,000 remains.
As for how the deaths and injuries occurred, the memories of these soldiers are vague and incomplete.
But given that so many doubts have come together, it is not difficult to deduce that the parts where memories are missing or blurred are the process of that disaster.
The evolved beings, driven by ambition, sought to seize power in the military fortress and launched a power grab.
The military became aware of the evolved individuals' actions and carried out a violent crackdown.
Then, a mental evolutionist took advantage of the chaos and eventually gained control of the military fortress.
He incited the army to slaughter all the evolved beings, while he remained hidden behind the scenes.
Then, they altered everyone's memories, making them believe that it was the unbridled oppression of ordinary people by the evolved beings that led to this indiscriminate slaughter of the evolved beings.
As for why Cang Nian made this conjecture, it was entirely because he discovered that the missing part of the soldiers' memories was only three days.
The previously blurred and hidden memories indicate that in the early stages of the spiritual energy revival, the evolved beings here had a sense of superiority and acted in a rather high-profile manner.
However, under the deterrent effect of the army's firearms, they dared not go too far, at most enjoying some privileges, and never to the point of treating people as less than human.
Even less egregious than what some evolved beings did when Yichen returned to Kangcheng.
But there is one huge, undeniable point of doubt in all of this.
That is, what happened here is hard to believe was done by an evolved being.
Inciting millions to riot out of sanity, hypnotizing hundreds of thousands, and altering the memories of hundreds of thousands...
Is this really something that current evolved beings can do?
Kangcheng is not without pure mental evolutionists; some have even reached the third tier.
However, this third-tier mental evolutionist would find it difficult to hypnotize even a strong opponent of the same tier, and the hypnosis process would take a relatively long time.
The most effective attack method is mental piercing, which causes the target to suffer mental trauma and a splitting headache.
However, if this third-tier mental evolutionary uses his abilities on ordinary people, the number of people he can control will increase significantly.
But it's only around a thousand at most, and you can't control how long it lasts.
Just how powerful is this guy who can hypnotize millions of people?
Level 4?
Level five?
Even stronger?
Cang Nian couldn't even fathom how such a terrifying being could have appeared.
"The only possibility is that the mastermind behind it all is someone like the monks of Zenran Temple."
He had cultivated diligently for decades before the spiritual energy revival, and in one night he had an epiphany, reaching a level even higher than the fat monk.
Such an enemy is extremely dangerous…
After a moment of contemplation, Cang Nian completely abandoned any thought of fighting against him.
When it's time to back down, you still have to back down.
If things go wrong, even if I use my third-level overlimit burst to boost my mental attributes, I might not be able to withstand the opponent's mental attack.
"Ouch~!"
So Cangnian started yelling at Yichen to express his thoughts.
"That's all we can do now. That guy who can control millions of people is someone we can't fight against right now..."
Having understood Cangnian's meaning, Yichen nodded emphatically.
If they hadn't already prepared an ambush when they learned of this, and if the three regiments of troops hadn't been about to arrive, they wouldn't have continued to carry out the mission despite their reluctance.
Now, if we deal with this group of pursuing troops and they withdraw, there will be no one following us anymore.
After all, it's difficult to erase traces of large-scale human activity in the dense forest. The other party can easily pinpoint their whereabouts by searching, and if this isn't dealt with, the consequences will be dire.
"Then let's all evacuate! We'll head east and bypass this treacherous mountain range!"
Qin Changyi nodded in agreement.
Although this would take a much longer route.
If you stay at this latitude, you will be overtaken by the southward-moving cold air, the temperature will continue to drop sharply, and the living environment will become more severe.
But compared to dealing with a terrifyingly powerful unknown entity, it's much simpler.
Despite being a policeman, Qin Changyi was furious to the point of gritting his teeth when he saw the Dragon Kingdom's army being controlled like this.
But he knew very well that without the strength to save them, it would be like moths flying into a flame.
"No...please don't leave! Save the commander and the others! Save our comrades!"
The person behind it all is definitely not as powerful as you think! Really!
I remember now! We were given some strange orders to place certain things in various locations throughout the military camp!
That must be related to the person behind the scenes controlling us!
"If we destroy them, the commander and his men will be saved!"
But then, one of the nine soldiers who had been captured earlier spoke excitedly.
