On July 28, there are less than 72 hours left before the very important "August 0" in Dahe worship.
In order to prevent the rebirth of the River Goddess, various companies formed an intervention army to search for traces of the "River Servants".
If the River Goddess is awakened, the entire southern region will become her divine kingdom on earth, and the fate of hundreds of millions of people will be controlled.
The heavy rain continued, and 102 was sitting at the exit of a military shuttle, kicking his feet in the air, and his eyes fell on the rain-soaked forest below.
Most of the southern region is covered by tropical vegetation, and green plants are growing as far as the eye can see. Randomly discarded garbage is also piled up into mountains, and circular pollution circles often appear in the dense forests. There is nothing but high piles of garbage.
The land is so badly eroded that no living thing can survive.
The Golden Cicada River surges from the north, like a pale python, passing through the dense forests of the southern region and entering the sea from Jialongpo. The river itself is also hidden among the dense trees along the coast. The river is sometimes blocked by giant trees.
It looks like it has been cut into six or seven sections.
Occasionally, there are some ruins on the shore. They are plastered and bare, and the gold foil wrapped on the outside has been stripped off. We can only guess how grand the temple of the River Goddess was originally from the scale of the ruins.
102 I feel butterflies in my heart, and I can’t tell what is more frightening. The legendary peacock on the page? The unbeatable white salamander? The nervous locals? The corporate group with ulterior motives? Or the mysterious river goddess?
and its followers?
As always, eating made her feel at ease. She opened the lower half of the mask and kept stuffing donuts and beef strips into her mouth. Maybe this was the reason why her figure was extremely plump, while 101 was thinner. 102 had grown too much.
Big.
Qianmeng was sitting next to 102, also stretching out her legs and shaking them in the air. When she turned her head, she could only see 102's big cup and nothing else. 101 was sitting in her seat checking the scanner.
They had to search for the ceremony address, but the process was very difficult.
After thousands of years of inheritance, there are at least four to five hundred ritual points that can be used to worship the goddess of the river. They are all hidden in the dense forests in the river basin. It is very difficult to find them. It is necessary to lock down a group of secret rituals in a green field.
Not easy.
102 I have seen photos and attack reports. There are ferocious beasts in the forest, as well as tribal people who have been excluded from urban life. There are at least millions of aboriginal people. They hunt among them, are subtly attracted by the mysticism, and are willing to be the goddess of the river.
The Secret Order provides cover.
Why not live in the city? Aren't these aborigines in the woods unwilling to accept city life? It's been 150 years now, and a century and a half has passed since the end of the war. 102 thought hazily.
But they... are not qualified at all. What modern factories need is educated and highly educated labor. Forest dwellers live with bark mosquitoes all day long. In the eyes of enterprises, they are almost like uncivilized monkeys. 102
Got it.
Companies treat indigenous people the same way they treat animals.
102 picked up the panel terminal in his hand, and a new prompt popped up on it.
5.5 kilometers away from them, Yongyi Company's task force massacred a village. 450 people in the village participated in some kind of life-binding ceremony related to the sacrifice of the goddess of the river, so they needed to be killed to weaken the river.
The influence of the goddess.
The rain kept falling, and there were constant sounds in the distance, like gunshots.
According to the report, 102 mentally estimated the location of the massacred village. Looking around, he saw black smoke rising in that direction. They should have set fire to most of the buildings and killed all the villagers.
"It's too cruel." Qianmeng saw all this.
"Is it cruel?" 102 was puzzled.
Unlike those who are highly empathic and sentimental, 102 is indifferent to most carnage.
"You are too cold." Qianmeng frowned.
"People are killed and die, just like a certain pattern. Do you know how many people die every day?" 102 said simply.
Qianmeng searched.
"1,250,112 people died yesterday." Qianmeng himself was also shocked. This was the calculation of the company alliance's new artificial intelligence "All-Seeing Eye".
"Bang get down." 102 gestured, "These million people don't want to die, a million misfortunes."
"You are too young to understand." Qianmeng knew that sending 102, who was less than 7 years old, to the battlefield was not a good thing.
102 smiled and lowered his head to eat.
"Endless violence in this generation is a foregone conclusion. We also kill people, but a little compassion can prove that we still have humanity." Qianmeng persuaded.
"Although... nothing can change anything." 102 muttered.
102 also likes an innocent and romantic life, but she knows that she has to find a way to survive for decades to see a better era.
Military shuttles patrolled north over the jungle, cannons and missile arrays aimed downwards.
They continue to be vigilant.
"The ruts are deep and the enemy has heavy weapons." the scout reported.
"Including main battle tanks and missile armored vehicles..."
"What we are facing is not guerrillas in the jungle, but quasi-regular troops!" Information is being exchanged on the communication channels of other companies.
"Where did they get the weapons?" Qian Meng was a little surprised when he saw the news.
"Maybe it was eliminated from a certain corporate war and was transported ashore by the sponsors of the Secret Order through some channels." 101 lowered his head to observe the clues.
Some of the most powerful among them may be equipped with power armor, gauss rifles and laser assault rifles. Those armors have unique styles and are painted in colorful colors from head to toe, like peacocks.
"Dead people bring good results." There is new news on 102's tablet.
The biomedical engineering team of the Nemesis Group has arrived at the village that was just massacred. They extracted enough memory fragments from the minds of the freshly deceased, pointing to a very possible ritual point.
The location of the Great River Servant has been locked, and it is marked as Site No. 208 on the map.
"Please move all units to Site No. 208 quickly!"
Nemesis Group invites all armed groups to march towards the ceremonial point.
It is about 75 kilometers apart, located in the upper reaches of the river tributary, and is a temple site with a long history.
We finally found this group of secret rites. As long as we kill them, the River Goddess will not be able to recover. People can't help but move towards the same goal.
The battle of Jialongpo faces the final test. 102's heart is pounding.
"The power of Lord Farosha..." 102 looks at Qianmeng.
"Don't worry." Qian Meng hid the fragment in his pocket.
102 Looking far into the distance, I saw an endless rainstorm and two reconnaissance planes passing by at the end of the dark clouds.
These two aircraft passed through the edge of 102's line of sight, then seemed to crash into a large bubble, and then disappeared without a trace.
It's like being swallowed by a secret realm.
There is something strange in ruins No. 208!
"The plane has disappeared. It's not safe in front." 102 took Qianmeng back to the cabin and closed the door forcefully.
As they approach the ritual point, all the laws of reality are distorted and changed.
"There is a realistic abnormal area ahead!" the pilot shouted loudly, and the altitude of the shuttle dropped rapidly.
The corporate intervention forces shared intelligence, and each reconnaissance tool assembled a complete radar imaging picture. A huge annular hole appeared on it, and all signals disappeared as soon as they entered the abnormal area ahead.
"What to do next?" Qianmeng asked.
"Be prepared before intervening in the situation." 102 said skillfully.
Qianmeng feels that 102 has become very complicated, sometimes like an adult, sometimes like a child. The grand battlefield is a difficult test for 102, and she must be flexible and changeable.
After determining the ceremony point, all parties prepared to enter Site 208 in a tense situation.
Ahead is an abnormal area of reality, and no one knows what will happen.
The pilot took the shuttle to the edge of the ring, waiting for joint operations with forces from other companies.
Those large war machines soon roared closer and arrived at the suspicious ceremony point. From the outside, it looked exactly like the rainforest in other areas, but all detectors were unable to investigate the details inside. From the outside, it looked calm, but once anything penetrated
Once it crosses the line, it disappears.
"The two reconnaissance planes we dispatched have disappeared in the area, and no news has returned." The correspondent of the Nemesis Group explained.
"Attention all units, the Mystery Group of the River Goddess is likely to perform rituals in the area in front of us. Please ask your superiors for instructions and confirm the time when they can intervene in the conflict." Jin Yuxiu, the ruler of Yongyi Group, announced.
The shuttle they took slowly descended, collecting weapons and ammunition, and gathering manpower.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Jing arrived in her consumer-grade small plane. The engine power gradually decreased, and her shuttle landed next to Nisto's white shuttle.
"Lu Jing!" Linyin stood up.
"Finally the work is done. Wait a minute, why are you here? I thought you were in the hotel!" Lu Jing looked mortified, her Fuyao Sword and Bafang Zhenjin were slung behind her back.
"There is revenge to be avenged." Linyin looked coldly at Aiden Crusher in the Nemesis Group camp in the distance.
In order to kill him, Linyin has made many preparations and carefully polished her hacking program.
"Let me help you!" Lu Jing was eager to give it a try.
"Report the count." 102 jumped down and pointed at the heads, "Me, you, she, Mr. Pilot, seven sharp soldiers, twenty-nine specially selected airborne commandos, Qianyue, Jiro, Linyin, Lu Jing
, Miying, okay! Listen to me, we are going in for a fight. It may be a very difficult battle, because those rituals and other things must have reached a critical moment. It is less than three days before August 0, and maybe they have already summoned them.
That's almost it. Who doesn't want to fight? Now tell me."
Chiyuki Saba wanted to leave with her brother temporarily. They were only moderately skilled spellcasters with average magic power, and they seemed not qualified to participate in the Battle of Jialongpo.
But then I thought about it, everyone is fighting here, how can we give in easily?
No one wants to leave.
Nisto Company Front, join the fight.
Linyin looked at Aiden Crusher in the distance fiercely, while he was scanning the abnormal area in front of him.
"We'd better walk in." Nisto pilot said, "There is some kind of abnormal area inside. The shuttle may not be able to work properly. No one knows what is going on inside..."
"Yi Zi authorizes us to move freely." 101 received the order from Ye Zi.
"It's time to go. There can only be one god in this world." 102 strode forward.
Other military units have also received orders, and their expectation is to wait for the opportunity. If other companies take the lead, they will follow immediately.
At this time, when they saw that Nisto Company was launching an advance, they mobilized their troops to the direction where Nisto Company was entering, and followed their example, stopping their war weapons and entering on foot with their personnel carrying high-end equipment.
"Further ahead is the anomaly area, and its size seems to be expanding." An observer from the Nemesis Group reported to the public communication channel.
"Using short-wave communication, companies keep in touch. This is the biggest test we face." Jin Yuxiu said in a morale-boosting tone.
What Jin Yuxiu did next made 102 admire him, because the opponent directly unfolded the golden steel wings, and with one giant wing, he entered the abnormal zone first!
"She disappeared!" Everyone outside saw Jin Yuxiu disappear without a trace after crossing a specific boundary, as if she was completely lost in the abnormal zone.
"She may have been thrown hundreds of years ago, and may have fallen into the memories of the River Goddess! We will also encounter similar things, so what should we do?" Qianmeng thought wildly.
"Then we have more reason to help her." 102 stood up straight, and she was the second to cross the boundary.
102 also disappeared behind the line.
"All preparations, enter the abnormal area!" All company units issued orders.
"There are also cars!" 101 turned to look at the mirror cars used to fight against the page peacocks, but he was worried about whether they could function safely.
The intervention forces have been assembled, ready to completely annihilate their opponents just like the Company Alliance did to the followers of the River Goddess.
