I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3743: Chapter 3734: Points of Suspicion

"If their physique wasn’t advantageous, they naturally needed survival skills to live; otherwise, they would have been extinct long ago."

Lin Yi’s words earned agreement from the others; technology was their only means of survival, and it was naturally something that needed vigorous development.

After walking about ten meters, the path abruptly ended, but a downward-extending hole appeared.

The width of the hole was about one meter. Standing at the edge, Lin Yi shone a flashlight down and easily reached the bottom with the light.

"The estimated depth is about 20 meters."

Lin Yi looked up and noticed a rope hanging overhead, but only a fragment remained.

"They probably used this rope to get down into the hole, but as time passed, the rope weathered and broke, leaving just this piece."

The others nodded, agreeing with Lin Yi’s theory.

"Do we need a rope to go down?"

"Yes, that would be more convenient."

Shao Jianfeng took out a rope he had and looked around but couldn’t find a suitable place to secure it, so he sent the rope outside.

After solving the rope issue, Lin Yi tugged on it and was the first to go down.

For Lin Yi and his team, the twenty-meter deep hole was descended almost in the blink of an eye.

One after another, the six people came down, and the area at the bottom opened up unexpectedly.

With flashlights in hand, they illuminated various parts of the space.

The area was about fifty square meters, completely natural, with irregular rock walls all around.

On one side was a stone table with stone-crafted vessels, things the Central Guards Brigade was accustomed to seeing.

What attracted them most were the bones on the ground.

There were three skeletons on the ground, and several people proceeded cautiously.

After so many years, the bones had long since weathered; a gentle touch could turn them to dust.

Ning Che exchanged a glance with Zhao Xile, who understood and took out his phone to start collecting information, with Yu Siying assisting in the task.

"These bones are a bit strange," Shao Jianfeng said:

"They don’t seem short, roughly around 170 cm, about the current national average height. Calling them the Dwarf Clan seems a bit unsuitable."

Shao Jianfeng’s speculation was shared by the others.

While passing through the cave, they all thought it was a place for the dwarf’s survival, but looking at the bones on the ground, it seemed otherwise.

"There are three races on the island: Giants, Dwarves, and the Nakxi Clan. Based on previous analyses, the Nakxi Clan is a normally statured group and has always lived on the island. Could this be their dwelling place?" Ma Tongliang asked.

"That’s possible," Lin Yi replied:

"If the three people on the ground are indeed from the Nakxi Clan, the research value increases."

"Boss, come take a look at this."

Upon hearing Yu Siying’s call, they walked over to her.

In front of her was a stone cage with two sets of bones inside, but it was clear they weren’t human.

"They seem a bit like monkeys," Zhao Xile said.

The Central Guards Brigade had received professional training, so they had some knowledge in various fields.

Especially Lin Yi, who, aided by Sage’s Wisdom, understood even more.

He could tell at a glance that these were monkey bones, and there was even some fur remaining beside them.

"These monkey corpses seem somewhat larger than normal," Shao Jianfeng said.

"This is Tilia Island, and in the mid to later stages, the animals’ sizes increase, which is within reason," Ning Che said:

"Normally, monkey genes are similar to humans’, so they were probably captured here as test subjects."

"Considering this, the situation becomes clear; this is likely a laboratory of the natives, and there might be some useful remnants," Ma Tongliang said.

"Let’s start searching, focus on data collection, and take anything useful."

"Understood."

Everyone got busy while Lin Yi stood in front of the stone cage, carefully observing the bones inside, his brows furrowed, as if deep in thought.

"What are you thinking about? Your brows are all knotted."

"This place feels a bit strange."

"What’s strange about it?"

"Look at this place. It’s built on a mountain and so hidden, clearly intended to be undiscovered."

"Yes, continue."

"Judging from the bones’ size, these should be from the Nakxi Clan, but as the most powerful group on the island, they shouldn’t behave so discreetly."

Lin Yi’s words enlightened Ning Che, and indeed, it did seem suspicious.

Lin Yi pointed to the stone cage, "Look at the bones inside; although they are larger than normal monkeys, they aren’t much bigger. In other words, such creatures appearing on land wouldn’t attract much attention. This is the mid to later stage of the island, and given this tightly secured laboratory, it doesn’t seem quite reasonable."

After Lin Yi’s analysis, Ning Che also felt that everything before them might not be as it seemed.

There might be other secrets hidden here.

"The boss discovered something new."

Shao Jianfeng’s voice came over, prompting Lin Yi and Ning Che to walk over.

In front of him was a stone box filled with dusty sheepskin scrolls.

Seeing the sheepskin scrolls, everyone became excited.

Based on previous experiences, they could almost determine that the contents of the sheepskin scrolls were extraordinary.

Ning Che gently took out the scrolls, blew off the dust, and found two scrolls, each about one meter long and thirty centimeters wide, filled with densely packed writing.

"Take this stuff along and search around for other things; take everything we can."

Zzzz——

At this moment, static sounds emerged in their earpieces.

"Boss, we found a team heading our way," Sui Qiang said.

Everyone’s expressions grew tense; this was not a good sign.

"How many people in total?"

"Approximately ten."

"Can we identify which organization they belong to?"

"We can’t tell yet, but these people are very cautious and seem very strong, likely from a major organization."

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Yi said:

"Team Three holds position; Team One, come in."

After giving out instructions, Lin Yi looked at Ning Che, "You go up first, take Team Three, leave, and see who they are. I’ll stay here with Team One, along with Tong Liang and Xile, and give them a surprise."

"Are you confident?" Ning Che asked.

"There are about ten of them; with Tong Liang and Xile here, handling them shouldn’t be a problem."

Lin Yi said, "Put on a good show, but don’t cause any conflict."

"I know what to do, don’t worry."
