Chapter 609 Destiny
Several off-road vehicles drove down from the end of the coastline road to the edge of the forest of Death Ridge. Several engineers jumped from the car and walked around with unknown instruments on their backs. Soon, one of the engineers shouted, "Your Excellency, I found it."
Lein jumped out of the car with a solemn face. This time, he did not drive his bullet locomotive, but took the car away from the monitoring station. Pressing his hand on the one-handed sword "Arthur", Rein asked in a low voice, "Are you sure?"
"It is very certain that the feedback signal from the locator in Lieutenant Faro's body is nearby. Just..." The engineers also looked around doubtfully and saw that there was no secret forest.
Rein went straight ahead, and the soldiers kept jumping off the car behind them. They were afraid that the second son of the Augustus family would catch up quickly, but they didn't know who would take care of whom if something really happened. Rein walked a few steps, and his feet suddenly sank. His face changed slightly, and he felt that his feet were no longer on the ground, but floating soil. He squatted down and put his hand into the ground.
After the palm passes through the floating soil layer of about 10 centimeters, the feeling of gravel comes from it. Rein hummed and his hands swam in the sand. Soon after, he touched the cold hard object. He brought it up and pulled out a machine gun. After the machine gun, the body of a soldier was held tightly. In this way, half of the body appeared from the ground. Rein clapped his hands and stood up and shouted concisely, "Dig!"
Twenty soldiers behind him did not dare to neglect and immediately picked up their machine guns. Without tools, they dug up the floating earth with their own hands and found a corpse in the sand pit. In order to prevent accidents, Rein asked people to bring safety ropes, tied the soldiers' waists with ropes and connected them to the outer SUVs. After taking this simple protective measure, more than a dozen soldiers went deep into the sand and finally found Faro's body.
When the body of the blood-riding lieutenant and the remains of dozens of ordinary soldiers were placed at the feet of Rein, he sighed and knew that he finally underestimated the outsiders. Although the lieutenant Faro is an officer outside, he can only be regarded as cannon fodder in the core combat power of the blood horse. However, in this wilderness, it is obviously not easy to eat a lieutenant and more than a hundred soldiers clean.
Once again, Lu's injury showed a penetrating wound on his chest, but it did not hit the point directly. As a capable person in the fighting field, such an injury is not enough to kill Faro. Rein wiped Faro's face with his slender fingers, and a feeling of coldness came from his fingertips. Looking at the body, there were traces of freezing all over his body. Obviously, Faro's fatal injury was caused by the ice ability of the elemental domain.
"Would you check if there is any quicksand terrain near Death Ridge?" Rein said.
An engineering soldier immediately retrieved the information with his intelligent brain and replied after a moment, "Your Excellency, there has never been a shed sand in Death Ridge."
"That is to say, it's man-made." Rein looked at the sand that buried Faro and a hundred men in front of him and thought: "It should be a high level of the earth system that can change the regional environment. And those who killed Faro, even if they were not high-level capable people of the ice system, had at least six or seven levels of achievements. In other words, there are at least two guys with low abilities among outsiders. Is this their trump card? Or is it just part of the power?"
No one could answer Rein's question, and the Ninth Knight did not expect the soldiers to answer his question. He was just combing the context of the whole event in his usual way, and Rein's father often talked about the phrase "wise people first". It means that wise people can always see things farther than others, so they take a step in advance. Rein asked himself that although he didn't have the talent of his eldest brother Hart, he was not a fool. He can't do it two or three times ahead like Hart, but he can still do it one step ahead of his opponent's means.
From the crash of a patrol car to the death of Faro and a team, it has shown that the opponent's strength is not weak. And with this level of power, their purpose is certainly not simple. Rein immediately asked the engineers to bring a flat brain and call out the nearby topographic map. With Death Ridge as the boundary, the coastline road continues to go south and has been cut off, and this place to the north is the circle of power of the dark parliament. It is basically certain that if those outsiders want to leave, they will only have one way to the west. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they will take the risk of Death Ridge and climb over the big cracks to enter the southern end of the coastline. But the consequence of that is just a test for Hart, who has been re-arrayed in Phoenix.
These outsiders are still showing traces of failure, which is obviously well planned, and there are some local forces near the coastline as a cover to hide from the parliamentary intelligence network. Of course, the number of outsiders will not be large, otherwise, if a large number of people are allowed to penetrate the defense line, the parliament might as well close early. In this way, it is basically certain that this foreign force belongs to a team with fewer but more elites.
The best thing for a team like this is to make breakthroughs.
Lein keeps pointing down the wilderness between Death Ridge and Windmill Town, and each point will produce a sign, each symbol representing a hidden sentry point. The distance between each sentry is about 10 kilometers. From the map, these sentries are deep and shaped like a large net. Even if one of them breaks through, it cannot completely escape the scope of reconnaissance. On the contrary, because of the moderate distance between the sentries, they can know each other. One of them was attacked, and other sentries could react immediately and play a role in containment and delay.
Handing over his brain to the engineers, and Rein ordered, "In my name, I order the nearby monitoring station to mobilize all the soldiers and arrange personnel to deploy according to my arrangement. Let's see how big this foreign fish is.
Lein didn't dare to take it big. He immediately contacted the headquarters in Phoenix and asked Hart to come to some capable people in the "Fallen Angel" to surprise outsiders.
While the Ninth Knight was busy casting a net for fishing, the big fish near the Great Lakes west of Death Ridge had not noticed the subtle changes near the coastline.
In the marching tent, after listening to Kim's request, Zero said, "Your sister's genes have collapsed. In a normal way, it is basically impossible to stop this phenomenon from continuing to develop, or at most delaying the speed of collapse.
Jin's face was gloomy. For Alice, his mood can only be described as complicated. From the first time she learned that Alice had destroyed the resentment and helplessness of the town, to the time she was chased and killed by her, and now that Tyre died, she was no longer bound by anything, but she reached the end of her life. During this period, he experienced various things, and only Jin could understand what it was like.
He had hated, had no choice, and was finally relieved, and now he hopes to keep this woman's life. After all, in those dark days, she was the only one who brought warmth to herself. Before zero came, although Jin had this idea, it was always limited by reality, so it was not strong. But after zero came, this undoubtedly brought a hope to Kim.
Even if there is no Faru, he will find an opportunity to approach zero. The blood cavalry lieutenant just gave Kim a better reason, but now, zero only gives him another disappointment. He didn't blame Zero or question that Zero refused to help this. Because Zero must know that if Alice can be saved, at least Kim will owe him a favor. This is definitely good and good for Zero. If it hadn't been for the truth, Zero wouldn't have said so.
But when Kim was disappointed, Zero said, "But I personally have a way to try, but I'm not sure whether it will succeed or not, because there is no such precedent."
Naturally, the idea is their own DNA memory group. According to the characteristics that the memory group can generate any life matrix, maybe letting them enter Alice's body may repair the gene that the woman has begun to collapse. Of course, if Alice's life can be saved, Zero will also use the memory group to leave some controllable means in Alice's body.
After all, it is difficult to say whether Alice will be an enemy or a friend in the future, and he has not been generous enough to save a person who may become a big enemy, even if Kim may obey him for a while. In turbulent times, you can't be too careful.
Hearing the zero tone, Jin was immediately refreshed and said happily, "Really? Whether it can succeed or not, this is always a hope.
"That's right, but as you can see, I still have something to do here, and I can't help you right away. Well, we're going back to Asgard tomorrow. You can go with me and talk about it later. Zero said, "Moreover, it seems that you have to discuss it with her. To be honest, I don't see any desire to survive in her.
Jin smiled bitterly and nodded, "This is the biggest problem."
At this time, the sound of crane work came from outside the tent, followed by the sound of water. Zero two people came out of the tent and happened to see six * boats breaking out of the water in the afternoon sky. The water flowing down from the hull reflected the skylight, and the water vapor stirred up on the lake slowly dispersed. The moisture diffused the skylight and formed a beautiful rainbow bridge on the lake for a long time.
"God, it turns out that you salvaged this kind of thing..." Jin looked at the streamlined spacecraft on the lake and was shocked.
The salvage project has come to an end. After the six* ship was pulled ashore, the clean-up work began. The final work is mainly to drain the damaged part of the hull, and then start installing traction components so that they can be shipped back to Asgard tomorrow. In the whole plan, the return journey is the top priority. For this reason, Zero called everyone to the camp at night to study the route and defense of the return journey. It was not until late at night that he determined with everyone the work he would be responsible for tomorrow.
The night was thick, and Zero looked at the six* boat that had installed the traction components. The ship, which had carried him out of the abyss, appeared in front of him again after more than two years of separation. And this time, Zero hopes that it can take itself to explore more unknown worlds. It seems that when he and the spacecraft first met underground, they were doomed to such a fate, so from today on, this spaceship will be called "Fate"!
