The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters - #158 - Chapter 158 Ruins in the Mountains

When it comes to your own strength, you can’t be careless.

In order to grasp the anchoring characteristics of the mind with the help of the Mirror of Fantasy, Yu Ke immediately decided to go to Shanqing City.

Anyway, it won’t take more than a few days to go back and forth, so just relax while traveling.

It’s just that the name of this city sounds strangely familiar.

Chewing the dried dragon meat that he had made in recent days, Yu Ke distributed some to Anseli and Professor Jiang respectively.

The amount of dragon meat scraped from the two-headed dragon was huge, and it was unrealistic for Yu Ke to finish it all by himself in a short period of time.

Therefore, after Yu Ke left enough for himself and the wind chime, he packaged and sold the remaining dragon meat, dragon bones and other things to the Disaster Prevention Bureau. The money in exchange allowed him to directly achieve financial freedom, and the deposit in his bank card was close to eight figures. number.

Sitting in front of the window on the side of the transport plane cabin, Yu Ke looked at the vast wilderness below that was beginning to turn green. He searched in his mind for a while and quickly recalled that he had seen information about Shanqing City on the intranet of the Disaster Prevention Bureau not long ago. intelligence.

While he was still some distance away from the mountains, he asked Anseli and Professor Jiang about the situation in the city.

“Shanqing City has not been very peaceful recently. As far as I know, in the past month, various ghosts and ghosts have appeared on the streets at night, making people panic. The General Administration of Disaster Prevention has sent a special investigation team to investigate this. I didn’t know what the situation is now.”

Professor Jiang took the dried dragon meat and observed it carefully, shrugged his shoulders and said.

Because many supernatural phenomena come from strange contained objects, he often pays attention to news in this area.

“Hasn’t it been solved for so long?”

Yu Ke remembered that it was half a month ago when he saw this message.

I thought it had been solved long ago by the Disaster Prevention Bureau of Shanqing City, but I didn’t expect that the incident was still unfolding.

“It’s normal. At this stage, almost all major cities across the country are facing various supernatural phenomena. Some of them cannot be solved by airplanes and cannons at all. They have to rely on the performance of extraordinary beings, just like what we are going to do later. Even the guards at Beijing and Hangzhou can’t get rid of the ruins, which can only be said to be extremely troublesome.”

Noticing Yu Ke’s confused expression, Anseli explained,

“Shanqing City was originally known as a ‘Mountain City’ in the country. The altitude has been rising inexplicably in the past two years. The local government has too many things to deal with. Once the manpower is scattered, the efficiency will naturally decrease. After all, not every city”

Looking at Yu Ke, Anseli swallowed the second half of the sentence back in his throat.

She wanted to say that if Yu Ke hadn’t been there in Beijing and Hangzhou, the recent incidents might have caused big problems, but she felt a little embarrassed when she thought that such a straightforward statement was somewhat deliberately flattering.

In fact, the difficulties faced by Shanqing City also appear in large cities around the world, and are even becoming normalized.

Facing the advent of the era of cataclysm, human beings can only choose to huddle together for warmth. However, large-scale gregarious creatures themselves will also lead to frequent supernatural phenomena. This is an almost unsolvable problem.

Perhaps only by addressing the root cause of the catastrophe can this vicious cycle be completely ended.

The three of us chatted about the current situation of domestic cities, and before we knew it, the transport plane had crossed the wilderness and reached the mountains.

In the past, Yu Ke had only seen the mountains in online videos, but now as the transport plane gradually approached, the sight in his field of vision completely attracted his attention.

Unlike the wildly growing plants in the Jinghu Forest, although the vegetation in the mountainous area has also undergone large-scale changes, the overall scale is still normal.

It’s just that the terrain has undergone extremely obvious changes.

Yu Ke, who was at high altitude, could clearly see the rolling and towering mountains below, as well as strange-shaped hills and cliffs. Some areas were split inexplicably, forming deep valleys and lakes.

Clouds flowed between the mountain peaks, casting large shadows, and occasionally large birds and beasts flashed past in the open space.

At this moment, there was a slight vibration in the transport aircraft cabin.

Yu Ke saw that the wings on the side began to release some gray-white mist outwards, covering the entire transport aircraft.

“There are a lot of ferocious beasts in the mountainous area. In addition, if we want to land, we must fly at low altitude. This mist is a special odor eliminator made by the Disaster Prevention Bureau. The transport will then enter silent mode to prevent attacks by ferocious beasts.”

The low-altitude flight of the transport plane means that it is close to the mountains. The ferocious beasts don’t care who owns the transport plane. If a stupid green man takes the initiative to attack, it is likely to pose a threat to the transport plane.

Not to mention that the mission cannot be completed by then, the people in the cabin will also be in danger.

We flew in this state for about half an hour.

The fog outside the transport plane gradually dissipated and began to descend. Yu Ke looked out through the window on the side of the cabin and couldn’t help but frown.

The expected camp did not appear, and there was still a barren mountain range within the field of vision, without even a trace of human activity.

Could it be that the camp is underground?

The problem is, how can transport planes take off and land in such an environment? With so many supplies and strange storage items, they can’t be airdropped, right?

“Get ready to skydive. This is a large-scale airdrop. Please be careful not to be hit by strange shelter objects. There is no work-related injury in the strange shelter. I will not reimburse medical expenses~”

Professor Jiang suddenly unbuckled his seat belt and stood up, picked up the backpack beside him, turned and walked towards the cabin door.

Yu Ke looked at this scene with surprise on his face. He caught a glimpse of Anseli’s suppressed smile and realized that Professor Jiang was once again exerting his few humorous bacteria. When he turned around, he saw Professor Jiang leaning against the hatch. , with a smug expression on his face.

“In order to be able to stay in the mountainous area for a long time, the Disaster Prevention Bureau has specially arranged this area, combining optical technology and extraordinary abilities. I don’t know the details. You will know when the transport plane enters the camp. of.”

As the main person in charge of escorting the goods, Anseli obviously knew some information in advance and explained.

It was at this time that the transport plane finally broke through the special protection on the outside of the camp.

The scene of the barren mountains and ridges suddenly disappeared, like a foamy phantom, and what appeared in front of Yu Ke was a camp that was large enough to accommodate two transport planes taking off and landing at the same time, and was extremely complete with functional equipment, located among the mountains.

No, this place is more like a military location than a camp.

Just what Yu Ke saw on the transport plane was an extremely tight defense line, including but not limited to machine gun towers, turrets, and heavily armed patrol soldiers.

What confused Yu Ke was that the defense line composed of these heavy weapons and elite soldiers not only appeared outside the camp, but was also built in front of a mountain wall on one side of the valley. The latter seemed to be even stronger?

There were a large number of field tents set up inside the camp, mixed with a lot of high-tech equipment. Even Yu Ke was confused. He had never seen many things, let alone understood their functions.

But one thing is for sure.

To establish a special camp of this size in a mountainous area would undoubtedly require a huge amount of resources and manpower.

This shows that Beijing-Hangzhou officials attach great importance to the ruins here.

No wonder there was an accident in the city and the elites stationed here did not return.

The transport plane hovered in mid-air for nearly five minutes. Yu Ke heard from the radio that the communication staff in the camp were checking information with the pilot. It was not until he confirmed that the instructions were correct that the transport plane slowly landed in the open space in the camp.

“Just follow me later. This is the badge of the hunting team. Don’t wander around. The situation here is a bit special. If you are regarded as an intruder, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.”

Anseli pinned her badge on Yu Ke’s chest. She had the certificate, which would save her a lot of trouble when they met and asked her later.

Yu Ke just came over to take a look when he had nothing to do, and immediately nodded to express his understanding.

As the transport plane came to a stop, the rear hatch opened.

The soldiers responsible for handing over supplies entered the cabin one after another, and Anzaili came forward with a list to approve it with them.

Professor Jiang took the staff from the strange shelter to move a few boxes, and left after saying hello to Yu Ke and Anseli. The things they sent were classified and were not sent to the same place as the ordinary supplies. .

After Anseli’s handover was completed, while the camp was transferring some damaged equipment and wounded people to the transport plane, Yu Ke followed her and left the transport plane.

The first time he entered the camp, Yu Ke keenly felt the energy fluctuations nearby.

Being able to cover such a huge camp in the valley is obviously impossible with existing technology alone. This energy wave should be the extraordinary ability that Ansaili mentioned before.

Looking around, I quickly found their source.

In the middle of the defense line set up on the edge of the camp, a flag about three meters high will be placed at regular intervals.

The flagpole is made of metal and looks like a smart screen is installed on the surface. However, it plays all kinds of obscure incantations and changes every ten seconds. The flag hanging at the top is embroidered with stars, which is transparent. There is a sense of mystery.

‘Formation? Can today’s extraordinary beings master and utilize this technology? ’

Yu Ke, who was silently observing these special items, turned his gaze to the front left not far away, which was the heavily guarded area that he had noticed on the transport plane before.

Yu Ke, who was in the camp, discovered that there was a huge bronze door between the recessed mountains. Its size was no less than the door of the forest temple. There were several weathered temples standing on both sides of the cleared space in front of the door. The severely eroded bronze warrior statue looks like it is guarding the presence inside the door.

There is no doubt that the key to keeping the guards of Jinghang City and a group of extraordinary people here is behind the bronze door.

“Is there any chance we can go into the ruins and take a look?”

Yu Ke took two steps and came to Anseli’s side and asked in a low voice.

“No, until now, no one is allowed to enter the ruins without the permission of Commander Fang. Anyone who triggers this rule has no room for change and will be listed as a first-level wanted criminal.”

Anseli seemed to have guessed that Yu Ke would ask this question, and quickly responded,

“I’m going to report to the person in charge of the camp about the handover of this trip now. Do you want to come with me, or…”

“I’m just strolling around here, just tell me when you go back!”

Yu Ke was really not interested in work, so he waved his hand and turned to walk towards the nearby defense line.

Since the ruins are inaccessible, studying the functions of these flags is a good way to pass the time.

Looking at the tent where the person in charge of the camp in front of Ansaili was, Yu Ke put his hands in his pockets and wandered around, chatting with the staff coming and going, and asking the patrolling soldiers about the use of the flag.

In fact, these behaviors are just a cover for the forest spirit.

Even if you leave Jinghu Forest, as long as you are in the natural environment, the forest spirit’s perception ability can be used to some extent. Yu Ke hopes to use it to understand the situation of this camp.

The result was unexpected.

“This area has been set up with multiple formations. One part collects the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers and converts them into the energy for the operation of the larger formation. It also blocks the secrets of the sky and allows the surrounding beasts to automatically avoid this place.”

“You can even understand this?”

Yu Ke, who was sitting on a small mound outside the camp, looked at the flag on the left front and communicated with the forest spirit in his mind.

“There were many warlocks among the people who used to worship me. There were various formations arranged by them in the temples and underground palaces. However, it was just because it was too long ago that they became ineffective. I can sense the flow of natural spiritual power, and the formations The effect of the law cannot be hidden from me.”

“Tsk, I forgot about this. The workshop in the underground palace cannot be built by ordinary people.”

Recalling what he saw in the temple and underground palace, Yu Ke suddenly realized that there were extraordinary people among the ancients in this world, and some of their skills would always be passed down to this day.

He didn’t know who was setting up the magic circles throughout the camp. Yu Ke guessed that it was most likely the “Guardian Fang” mentioned by Anseli.

“Can you detect the ruins inside the mountain?”

Raising his hand to support his chin, Yu Ke pretended to appreciate the scenery, but actually asked further.

“I need time to try. The magic circles in this area are not only the ones I just sensed. There seem to be even older ones inside the ruins. Forcible intervention may cause a chain reaction.”

“No, don’t get involved yet. What I said before doesn’t count. End the perception immediately!”

Upon hearing that it might cause a chain reaction, Yu Ke quickly stopped the forest spirit’s actions.

You must know that the guardian-level powerhouses of Jinghang City are currently in the camp. If the ancient magic circle in the ruins is accidentally touched by the forest spirit, causing an uncontrollable catastrophic event, there may be much trouble.

Yu Ke came here to visit and kill time, not to cause damage.

The stakes are high, so it’s better to take back your curiosity.

It was at this time that someone’s voice suddenly came from behind,

“Little brother, why are you sitting here alone in a daze? Is there anything bothering you?”

Yu Ke, who had just been communicating with the forest spirit, was shocked. His perception had never been withdrawn. Even if he was distracted to communicate with the forest spirit, he should be informed of any disturbance within a dozen meters around him at the first time.

When did this person come up behind me?
