In the afternoon, Lou Chengzhong returned to Fatua port.
He did not say hello to the consul Mao Xiaobing, and took a detour through the neighborhoods where there were occasional exchanges of fire. He left the city on his own and entered the desert outside the oasis.
At this time, the scorching sun was shining high, and the sunlight seemed to have lost all obstruction and filtering, "igniting" the airflow, "burning" the gravel, and everything visible to the naked eye was "distorted", like an illusion.
While running, Lou Cheng felt that the resonance between himself and "heaven and earth" had changed greatly. The darkness weakened, the cold subsided, and the brightness, scorching heat, high temperature and heaviness became clear and strong.
It's like the "sky map of the universe" has been enlarged and locked into the area covered by the "storm" of stars.
"No wonder the powerful people in Waigang are particularly concerned about the 'geographical advantage'. There is the so-called home field advantage. Different environments can indeed strengthen themselves and weaken the enemy. One plus and one minus, the effect is quite obvious... Relatively speaking, I am cold
Thermal balance and the rotation of ice and fire are subject to fewer restrictions." Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully and quickened his pace, like a high-speed train, roaring through the long yellow sand, carving out a terrifying ravine.
But in Gangfeng Four Volumes, it was quickly covered and filled with gravel.
After jumping over the dragon gate, he was tempered by the feedback from the outside "heaven and earth", and his physical strength increased again, but compared with before, there was no substantial jump. Even if he used this day and night to polish himself in the future, he would approach the forbidden area.
, will become stronger, but limited.
His biggest change was that his spirit suddenly improved, and the trickling streams merged into a rushing river, allowing the "ice mirror" to suddenly expand the reflection of the surroundings from one or two meters to about ten meters, and he could rely on "resonance" during battles.
, borrow the power of external correspondence, or enhance the power of fists and feet, attack from a distance, or "modify" the environment to affect the opponent.
Since it is not the real Waigang yet and the connection with "Heaven and Earth" is not stable enough, Lou Cheng's use of the latter will cause unstable fluctuations.
Of course, he has also considered emergency measures, which is to use "Huajin Huali" and use the "elixir" made by balanced rotation to imitate a cultivator and temporarily "reinforce" it.
While his thoughts were flying, Lou Cheng felt like an earth-yellow dragon walking close to the ground, passing by the sand dunes and the occasional oases.
This time, in less than two hours and before sunset, he saw the city of Kukang, known as the Pearl of the Central Nile.
It borders the famous desert to the west and the Isis River to the east. It is rich in mineral deposits, has many enterprises, and high-rise buildings rise one after another. It is considered a quite modern city. In this area, it is only slightly worse than the Nile capital Dika.
The sky was burning red, magnificent and majestic, covering the city with a red haze. Lou Cheng walked around the edge of the huge oasis for a while and found that several important roads were blocked. The soldiers had excellent military discipline. Apart from occasionally stealing sheep or getting some rewards,
There is nothing out of the ordinary, which is in sharp contrast to Tetans and Fatua.
Seeing this, the first two words that came to Lou Cheng's mind were:
order!
"The actual controller of Kukan is very capable..." He sighed secretly. He did not take the main road, climbed over many obstacles, and quietly entered the city.
Passing through several streets, he saw the remaining traces of the exchange of fire, the residents with bitter faces lining up to get water, and the marchers who were either enthusiastic or numb.
Because everyone at the Chinese Consulate in Kukan was organizing a large force to evacuate to Dika and left here, Lou Cheng didn't go there first. According to the map, he directly found the vicinity of No. 63 Gunam Street.
This is the residence of Cyrus, son of Siris.
However, it seems that a fierce battle took place here. Several buildings were charred by fire, the windows were almost completely broken, and there were clear bullet holes everywhere.
In such an environment, the third floor of Apartment No. 63 is particularly conspicuous. All the walls facing the street collapsed, revealing the dilapidated interior, as if it had been plundered by the demolition team, affecting both the upper and lower floors.
"This is an inhuman fight... The resistance of one party is quite short-lived, otherwise the whole apartment will collapse..." Lou Cheng stared at Gu Lu's residence and made a preliminary judgment in his mind:
When Uncle Sirius came to pick up his son and his family, he encountered an ambush. If there were hostages, he might be captured quickly...
So who did it?
Lou Cheng looked around and saw that there was a serious commotion here. Apart from the horrific corpses, wandering dogs, scurrying rats, and flying insects, there was not a single living person. Against the background of the sporadic gunshots in the distance, it was extremely quiet and dead.
.
At this moment, Lou Cheng's heart moved, he turned his head and looked behind him, and said softly:
"who?"
A man with black hair and black eyes walked out from the shop with a half-collapsed door. He was in his thirties, described as having gone through many vicissitudes of life, and his eyes were firm. At first glance, he was from China.
"I am Wang Dong, a special investigator of the military. Are you Lou Cheng?" The man smiled and took out his ID.
Lou Cheng had restrained his "interaction" with the surroundings and no longer had the feeling of interfering with the world. He nodded solemnly and said:
"Yes, are you here to investigate Sirius' whereabouts?"
He was not afraid of a sneak attack. He boldly took the certificate and compared it with the information previously given by the military.
Wang Dong frowned slightly and said:
"After Sirius lost contact, I came to Kukan and launched an investigation. I was much earlier than you. At that time, there were still residents here who had not evacuated. After inquiries and subsequent verifications, it was basically confirmed that Sirius's family was killed by Isis.
The high priest of the temple captured him and is currently being held inside the temple, awaiting processing."
"Temple of Isis? High Priest?" Lou Cheng returned the certificate to the other party.
Wang Dong pondered for a moment and said: "When Siris sought asylum, he told many secrets, including the religious conflicts in Nile. The Isis sect was a die-hard loyalist to the Pharaoh, and the Pharaoh seemed to want to restore the ancient situation where the gods were numerous...
In short, the high priest of the Isis sect in the local temple represents the will of the Pharaoh to a certain extent. He is not weak at all. He approached Waigang. General Sartah of the Brotherhood wanted to kill him before, but for some reason he failed to succeed.
, in addition to him, there are three or four inhuman-level strong men in the temple. If you want to save people, be careful."
"Okay, is there any more detailed information about the temple and the high priest?" Lou Cheng asked.
"Many, including satellite photos of the temple, visitors' self-drawings, municipal construction structural drawings..." Wang Dong was taken out a bunch of things from the military backpack.
With these, Lou Cheng basically grasped the situation of the temple after nightfall, but he did not rush to take action. Instead, he took advantage of the darkness and walked around the building.
As an invisible hand, it stretches to cover a ten-meter area, making every detail reflected in the ice mirror of the heart lake either vaguely or clearly.
There was no premonition of danger... the non-humans were at a certain distance... Lou Cheng stopped and asked Wang Dong: "Have the arrangements for subsequent evacuation been made?"
"It's done!" Wang Dong replied in a deep voice.
"Then I'll take action." Lou Cheng nodded lightly.
"Be careful!" Wang Dong couldn't help but warn.
"Okay." Lou Cheng didn't say much. He turned around, reached out his hand, and pressed on the protrusion of the wall. He jumped into the air and jumped to the edge of a window on the third floor.
With a pull on his shoulder and precise force, he "removed" the window and laid it flat silently.
When Yue was about to go in, there was no one inside. Lou Cheng leaned against the door, listened carefully, and felt carefully for a while. He suddenly opened the door and rushed out. At this time, there happened to be only two watchers left in the corridor outside.
Came over.
With the ancient characters sketched in his mind and the cold light in his eyes sharp, Lou Cheng just glanced at the two strong guards, causing them to collapse and burst into tears, as if they had encountered a monster from the depths of Hades.
After his mental transformation, the effect of Lou Cheng's simplified "Bing" formula more than doubled!
Stepping up, raising his hands, and striking with a knife, Lou Cheng knocked out the two guards, walked around the circular corridor, and rushed to the opposite side silently.
That's the high priest's room!
Lou Cheng's plan was to capture the thief first and capture the king first, without wasting time to find out where the Sirius family was being held from ordinary guards who might not know.
His heartbeat slowed down, his breathing weakened, and his body surface temperature was covered with cold, successfully evading the infrared alarm.
"There is more than one person in the room..." Lou Cheng looked down like a god, using an ice mirror to reflect the blurry situation inside.
In this regard, there is indeed a qualitative gap between non-human and Waigang!
"Two non-humans, but in different small rooms, one feels more powerful, and there are a few others with average or no strength, and they are together with the weaker non-humans..." Judging this, Lou Cheng felt a move in his heart and understood.
What's the situation?
The Sirius family was imprisoned in a secret room in the high priest's residence!
Just in time! Lou Cheng secretly thought about the next details, then opened the door and walked in!
The high priest was immediately aware of it. As soon as he stood up from the recliner, he saw a black shadow approaching and heard a loud bang in his ears.
He shook out his arms violently, moving up and down, blocking and hitting, all with dim light condensing, without hesitation, trying to make a big noise and attract the other strong men in the temple.
At this moment, a biting wind seemed to come from the depths of the Arctic and blew onto him, making him shiver involuntarily.
With a tremor, his strength weakened, and Lou Cheng's right fist had already been chopped down, hitting the high priest's forearm.
He prepared a "warrant warning" before entering the house, and used this to attract the outside world and attract the "North Wind"!
Bang!
Amidst the low sound of collision, the high priest was caught off guard and lost consciousness for an instant, as if he was frozen.
Lou Cheng succeeded in a move, how could he let it go? He struck out with his left palm like lightning, knocking his opponent unconscious!
In a breath, the winner is decided!
The Raiders do have a huge advantage!
He stretched out his feet and the high priest fell silently and lay down again.
Without delay, Lou Cheng found the secret room, broke the lock, and pushed the door open to enter.
"Who?" an old man with dark skin, strong build, black hair and blue eyes asked weakly.
He seemed to have been given some kind of medicine.
Without waiting for Lou Cheng to answer, after seeing the other person's appearance clearly, the old man blurted out in surprise:
"Are you Shi's disciple?"
"Yes, Mr. Sirius?" Lou Cheng asked for confirmation.
Feeling the cold wind pouring in and the interaction between the other person's body and the outside world, the blue-eyed old man nodded half in confusion and half in joy:
"I'm Sirius."
After answering, he muttered to himself:
"I didn't say it was that strong..."
"Let's get out of here first." Lou Cheng looked around and made a decision.
…………
Inside a building near a military base.
Constantine looked at the "mummy" idlely: "The help hasn't arrived yet?"
"It'll probably be dawn. Mummy" replied calmly.
At this moment, someone came and whispered a few words to the watcher outside. The watcher turned around and knocked on the door, asking the "mummy" to come out.
After a while, the "mummy" came back and said to Constantine:
"Something happened at the temple. There were some little reptiles causing trouble. I'll go take care of it."
Constantine shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Come back as soon as possible, don't make me too boring."
