Chapter 884: Secret Research Facility (please vote for the big chapter)
The capital of the Republic of Ika, Mote City
Bloody sunlight shines on the silent city.
The once noisy and bustling city now has only lonely buildings left.
The old man in a robe raised his head, glanced at the bloody sun falling in the sky above his head, and let out a long sigh.
Jingle Bell--
The ringtone of the satellite phone rang slowly. The old man took out his mobile phone, glanced at the name 'Liu Zhengyun' marked on the phone, and reached out to answer the call.
"Ruodel, Ruodan has sent information, and the number of missing persons has begun to spread?"
A calm middle-aged male voice came from the phone.
"Yes,"
Jodel stared at the bloody sun above his head, his voice hoarse,
"Now, several neighboring countries of the Republic of Ika, including Ruodan, have begun to experience disappearances. As Hao Yi originally predicted, people in the 'penumbra' area of the bloody sun cannot see the bloody sun.
, but it is still within the coverage of Blood Sun’s power.”
Having said this, Ruode paused and then asked, "Have you found Hao Yi, are Li Cheng and the others whereabouts?"
"No,"
Liu Zhengyun also sighed slowly,
"Their lander exploded when it landed on a transparent planet. We launched several detectors to get close to it, but we couldn't take any specific photos. We could only see fragments of the lander, and no trace of them was found.
"If the lander really explodes and they are exposed to the universe, they may be in serious danger."
"Perhaps they successfully landed?"
Rudel said slowly, his eyes raised, as if he was caught in some kind of memory, "Hao Yi is always able to do things beyond our understanding. His knowledge of mysticism far exceeds ours. Maybe he can pass some kind of mysterious...
Learn the method and bring people in."
"I hope so,"
Liu Zhengyun sighed slightly, and then continued to ask, "By the way, have your people seen He Ao? After he finally sent a message to the space agency, we couldn't contact him."
"I don't know, that little guy of yours is too powerful. Now everyone here listens to him and not to me."
Jodel glanced at the deserted streets around him, "To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine that the chaotic and unruly Ika branch would be trained into obedience by him. Those idiots who only care about their own interests can do it in such a short period of time."
To complete such a large evacuation operation within a short period of time, maybe Goya and I are really too kind,"
Then he paused, thought again, and asked softly, "Didn't he tell you where he was going before he disappeared?"
"He just sent a message saying that he had found something and wanted to take a look, but then there was no news."
Liu Zhengyun replied slowly.
"As far as I can see, everything on Ika and Rodan's side is running in an orderly manner,"
Rudel shook his head, "This proves that he arranged everything before he left. He should be fully prepared for what he did. This kid is a capable person. Maybe he can really change the entire situation?
"
"I know,"
Liu Zhengyun sighed softly, "We believe in his ability, but here, especially in the field department, we are a little worried about his safety. This guy sometimes does things without considering his own safety. He is now thousands of miles away.
, and it’s only C-level, there are many things we can’t take care of.”
"I'm just saying that you, an old boy, have no good intentions for bringing this up and are going round and round."
Ruodel laughed and said, "If he appears in the West and needs my help, I will try my best to help him. After all, this is my West's business. If he comes to help World Tree, I have an obligation to protect him. Look at me.
Does the old man seem like a selfish villain who seeks revenge for his own good?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and Liu Zhengyun did not answer immediately.
This seems to be equivalent to acquiescing to Jodel's rhetorical question.
"Liu Zhengyun,"
Jodel's long beard blew, "This time it's over, I will definitely go to Middle-earth and have a fierce fight with you."
"If something happens to Li Cheng and the others, the matter will be irreversible,"
At this time, Liu Zhengyun suddenly said softly, "He Ao and the others are the future."
"Um."
Rudel stared at the bloody sun in the sky and took a deep breath.
If that angel really comes, their B-class group will definitely be the main targets, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to escape.
Only by protecting the seeds of the future can we have the opportunity to change everything.
The relationship between him and Liu Zhengyun is not very good, but their current positions are completely consistent.
——
Relics of the past·Volcano Park.
As the bus stopped in front of the platform, the door opened, and He Ao and his party quickly got out of the bus.
At this moment, the sky is dark, and the stars are hanging in the sky like pearls.
Standing in front of the bus stop, He Ao raised his head and looked at the bright stars in the sky.
Seeing this scene, Ge Ya also raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky.
"What's wrong?"
Li Cheng also raised his head and looked at the starry sky above his head.
"This starry sky seems a little different."
He Ao stared at the starry sky and said softly.
"This should be a replica of the starry sky of the ruins?"
Li Cheng looked at the stars above his head and thought, "It seems to be no different from the starry sky in the ruins?"
Ge Ya on the side also nodded slightly.
They have all been to the ruins and have read a lot of information about the ruins, including information about the starry sky in the ruins.
"It's not that, it's different,"
He Ao shook his head slowly.
In the previous Newland City-State incident, he was in the 'underground palace', which is the outer space where the sun is extinguished in the sky of the real ruins, and he saw the starry sky outside the real ruins from the universe.
The real ruins seem to be in a void and dark space. There are not many really bright stars. The stars overall look relatively sparse, and most of the stars are dim.
The starry sky that He Ao saw at this moment was filled with bright stars, and the positions of the stars were different from those seen in the universe.
It is impossible that through the weakening of the atmosphere, the light of the stars has become stronger, and even the positions have changed.
Moreover, what is reproduced here should be the ruined planet from the era when the ruined civilization was not yet destroyed. It was at least a few hundred years ago, and the starry sky should also be the starry sky of the ruined planet hundreds of years ago.
In the past few hundred years, the ruined planet seems to have been getting closer to the real world.
If the position of the relic planet is constantly changing, then why has its starry sky not changed at all after hundreds of years?
After retracting his thoughts, He Ao looked at the two people beside him and shook his head slightly, "I'm not sure whether my idea is correct at the moment. Let's explore this volcano park first."
"good."
Li Cheng nodded slightly, then raised his head and looked forward.
At the end of their field of vision, illuminated by a faint glow, the outline of a majestic volcano emerged under the stars.
"Where to go next?"
Ge Ya raised her head and looked at 'Hao Yi'.
"We went to the top of the volcano before. There should be a sightseeing bus nearby."
He Ao raised his head and glanced around, quickly locking his eyes on a floating bus that was queuing in front and covered with Volcano Park posters.
With their first experience, the three of them quickly got on the sightseeing bus without any hesitation.
This time the car was full of people, so He and Ao simply pulled the pull ring and stood by the door.
The entire vehicle quickly flew up into the darkness.
He Ao looked at the gorgeous posters plastered all over the sightseeing car.
This sightseeing bus seems to pass through many scenic spots during the day, but there is basically nothing to see in these scenic spots at night, so it becomes a vehicle that returns between the top of the volcano and the park station.
There seemed to be nothing to see in the darkness except the stars above.
At this time, Li Cheng seemed to have remembered something. He looked up at the starry sky outside the window and asked softly, "Are these starry skies the same as the ones you saw in Ji'an's bubble space?"
He Ao glanced at the starry sky and quickly replied, "Basically the same."
The surrounding scenery passed by quickly, the sightseeing car was moving very fast, and the two of them had already approached the viewing platform on the top of the volcano while they were talking.
A huge, red, 'light lake' shrouded in wisps of smoke appeared in front of everyone.
There was also hazy smoke around the sightseeing car.
The announcement on the sightseeing bus began to remind tourists to take protective measures. The 'tourists' who were originally sitting in the bus slowly put on some kind of gas masks made of silver metal.
In the end, the sightseeing car did not park directly on the viewing platform, but stopped at a level below the viewing platform that seemed to be a 'station'.
The car door opened, and thick smoke poured into the car. He Ao reached out and touched his nose.
This level of 'toxicity' has little impact on the three extraordinary beings.
The three of them got out of the car among the crowd. Li Cheng raised his head and looked at the prepared staircase above.
Some tourists have already climbed up the stairs. It seems that the rest of the way to the viewing platform needs to be walked by the tourists themselves.
He turned back and looked at 'Hao Yi', "Do we want to go up together?"
Goya also turned her gaze.
Invisibly, He Ao has gradually become the 'leader' of this team.
"Need not,"
He Ao shook his head. He turned his head and looked at the dense forest deep in the night ahead. "Let's go directly over there and go around behind the volcano."
The top of the entire volcano is very huge. He Ao took a quick glance at it when he was in the sky. Including the parking platform and the viewing platform above, there are very few developed parts of the entire volcano top area, and most of the rest
They are all dense forests.
The three of them quickly walked to the edge of the parking platform, where there was a guardrail. Next to the guardrail was a 'Mountain Danger' sign, and there was a surveillance camera next to the sign.
He Ao took one look at the sign and turned it over.
Li Cheng and Ge Ya also turned over.
The three of them fell into the forest and quickly stepped on solid ground.
The forest floor near the parking platform is very clean. There should be staff cleaning up the area frequently, and the lights on the parking platform can also shine in this area.
There was a faint red light flashing in the woods, and there were many hidden night vision cameras lurking nearby.
"Where do we go next?"
Li Cheng lowered his head, lowered his voice, and asked slowly.
He Ao thought for a while, and used the Shadowless Sword to roughly outline an aerial view of the area near the top of the volcano on the ground, and then drew a line.
"This is the top of the volcano. This is the route we took up. Looking down from the sightseeing car, the field of view is probably in the south area, covering about one-fifth of the area south of the top of the volcano.
"Then, these are the possible routes marked on the tour bus during the day,"
He drew several more winding routes on the ground. "From these routes, you can probably see these areas when you look towards the top of the volcano."
He drew a large semicircle for the entire top of the volcano, "accounting for about four-fifths of the entire top of the volcano."
At this moment, Li Cheng came to some realization, "In other words, one-fifth of the top of the volcano is an area that tourists can never see?
He used the rolled-up map in his hand as a stick and pointed it at the outline of the volcano's summit on the ground. "If there is any secret research facility related to volcanoes, could the facility body or entrance be located in this area?"
"Um."
He Ao nodded slightly.
After determining the target, the three of them looked at each other and took action quickly.
The further away from the man-made infrastructure, the weaker the surrounding light becomes. Soon only the starlight is left to shine on the road ahead, and the road on the ground becomes unusually 'fluffy', covered with piles of decaying leaves.
It was obvious that they had entered no man's land.
However, there was a fixed volcano top as a mark, so the three of them would not get lost. They quickly circled around the volcano top and arrived at the 'area' that was one-fifth behind the volcano top that would never be seen.
Li Cheng turned his head and looked at He Ao. Just as he was about to ask how he should explore next, he saw He Ao raise his head and look towards the north.
At this moment, under the influence of the Eye of Truth, He Ao's vision was filled with dark shadows and various twisted lines.
Among these twisted lines, at a position due north, some lines are twisted slightly differently from other lines.
These differences are so subtle that He Ao cannot tell them apart at first glance if they are a little further apart.
He Ao stared at those tiny twisted lines and took a step forward in that direction.
Li Cheng and Ge Ya on the side immediately followed.
The three of them walked quickly through the woods for a few minutes, and finally stopped when they were about to reach the top of the mountain.
He Ao stopped in front of a huge rock that seemed to be no different from the surrounding rocks. He glanced around, raised the tip of his sword, and picked out a hidden camera from a stone next to the rock.
It seems that it is indeed here, and it is a man-made facility.
Then he turned back and stared at the faint twisted lines in the cracks in the rocks in front of him, and gently warned, "Be careful."
While the two people beside him were on guard, he raised the Shadowless Sword in his hand and slashed it down.
The hard rock was easily cut in half and fell to both sides, making a thick muffled sound.
At the same time, a deep corridor full of lights appeared in everyone's sight.
"sharp."
Seeing the deep darkness, which seemed like a passage leading deep underground, Li Cheng sighed sincerely.
The speculation that there might be a research facility hidden in the Volcano Park came to his mind, but in fact he himself was not sure that there must be a research facility here.
If it were him, it would most likely take him many days to find any clues about this research facility.
But 'Hao Yi' was able to use these few clues to find this extremely well-hidden research facility, and it was very fast, with almost no wrong steps in the whole process.
With 'Hao Yi' beside him, the map, which was originally a fog filled with puzzles, became as clear and clear as if the whole map had been opened.
Ge Ya held the staff and stood on the right side of 'Hao Yi', nodding quickly like a chicken pecking at rice with a look of recognition on her face.
"Analyzing these is actually not too difficult."
He Ao put away the shadowless sword in his hand and shook his head slightly.
Li Cheng:Huh?
Ge Ya's little head, which was pecking at rice, turned around, looked at 'Hao Yi', and blinked.
Isn't this... difficult?
She reached out her hand and pressed the white hair on her head that was blown up by the wind due to her rapid movements.
However, He Ao didn't pay too much attention to the movements of the two men. He held the hilt of the Shadowless Sword and stared at the deep corridor in front of him.
He was able to quickly realize the possible location of the research facility because he was actually 'prompted' by the middle-aged man who was flipping through the travel guide.
The other party deliberately stayed at this part of the volcano summit in the tourist guide for a long time, and then left a questionable 'bookmark' suggesting an undeveloped part of the park.
This is equivalent to telling Ho that there is a problem with the undeveloped part of the volcano's summit.
Then just do some simple reasoning to determine where near the top of the volcano is the most suitable place for a 'Tibetan Research Facility'.
And he happens to know a little bit of Chinese characters, can notice the sightseeing routes on the bus, and also happens to have some mental modeling ability, and can roughly figure out the perspective of the sightseeing routes, and finally determine the area where the research facility is located.
Finally, with the help of the Eye of Truth, he was able to quickly locate the location of this research facility.
However, this research facility can have "different" lines from the surroundings, and the "things" existing inside are probably not weak.
And vaguely, He Ao always felt that something was wrong.
"careful."
He gave a gentle reminder and led the way into the corridor.
