352. Inhabitants of the Lake
If this is the fortress of the emperor, the news is indeed shocking. I believe it will be a bolt from the blue not only for her, but for everyone.
what to do?
The emperor commands the attack of ground troops at a height of tens of thousands of meters, which is simply invincible. Not to mention in this era, even from the perspective of the previous civilization, it is difficult to attack such a giant floating in the air.
No, you must fly up and see what's going on.
Joyna made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and continued to climb up against the cold wind of the bones. She had never flown to such a high level since she obtained her evolved body.
But she was thinking about the falling fire meteors at the same time. Her heart was free to emit spiritual power and immediately communicated with the Monica sisters.
A few seconds later, Anna and Yifang's faces appeared on her arms.
"I just saw something like a meteor falling towards the base laboratory. I'm afraid it's another attack launched by Gu Tiecheng! You can quickly contact others, guard the area, and send troops to reinforce."
"No problem, Queen. Actually, we also found that there was a lot of smoke rising in the area of the hills, and we had already told Dr. Su that he and we were on the way there."
"Then you must be careful. If you are in danger, retreat and don't fight hard, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties!"
"Abide by the order!"
After arranging these things, Joyna had already flew into the clouds, and the colorful streamer was hidden on her body. Her speed was close to the highest speed she could reach, and her body was also shrouded by a layer of condensed frost.
She actually doesn't have to hold her breath at all, because the breathing of this body does not require oxygen, and the blood circulation in the body can be supported by powerful spiritual energy.
The distance of dozens of kilometers seemed to be in a blink of an eye, and Joyna was probably raised by about 7,8 kilometers.
The most shocking scene appeared.
Above her head is a thin upper atmosphere, which is different from the ground and is in a deeper blue state because it can scatter non-direct sunlight extremely efficiently, and the blue sky on the surface of the earth is the same principle.
Only when the sunlight passes through the most dense part of the atmosphere, that is, near the horizon, will blue light be scattered first and leave an orange-red light.
What Joyna sees now is different from the transition from red, orange to bright yellow on the ground. At sunrise, the sun in space rapidly turns to bright white.
Once the sun jumps out from behind the upper atmosphere, the sunlight in the vacuum will not be blocked by any obstacles.
Joyna has seen the strange scene. Although she was sent to Space City No. 2 for genetic testing procedures and is not unfamiliar with this scene, she still feels deeply when she sees this scene again hundreds of years later.
What shocked her was far more than that.
Above the majestic sea of clouds, there was a huge surging air flow, like an upside-down waterfall group that was swelling with hot air in the air.
A huge shadow swam at the bottom of the clouds, and wherever it passed, it seemed that even the clouds and mist were trembling under strange forces.
The black shadow appeared and appeared like a monster in the sea, and spit out rolling white mist from time to time, squeezing the surrounding air and disturbing the thick clouds.
A corner of the building was faintly revealed, and then it sank into the sea of clouds.
The rising sunlight reflected without any obstruction on the metallic silver paint surface, making people unable to open their eyes.
The ancient iron city is less than a kilometer away from her, hidden in the sea of clouds, like a building buried by undulating sand dunes in the desert.
Without any hesitation, Joyna's wings flapped and flew directly there in the rising light.
There was a burning smell in the air, and the thin frost on Joyna's face began to shatter, and the temperature around it was several degrees higher than before. She had seen the outline of the ancient Iron City, which was clearer than before.
In front of her were neat streets and rows of buildings, which made her dazzling, no different from the towns on the ground, and everything seemed to be entrenched on a huge floating island in the air.
She visually estimated that this thing was dozens of kilometers in size. From one side, several balls "float" around it. A huge ball closest to her was installed on the bottom. It must be the source of power for the entire city.
The ancient iron city floated quietly in the air like this.
Joyna flew closer to watch and saw that except for the fence surrounded by transparent glass and metal on the edge, the rest of the place seemed almost the same as the ground.
She looked up at the sky again. There was a layer of polarized light reflected at a height of hundreds of meters above. The color of the sky seemed to be layered, changing from blue-purple to light blue, like a layer of film.
Needless to ask, you know that the temperature rise in the city is inseparable from the protection of this kind of thing. It should be a cover like the energy force field - it is also an advanced technological magic left over from the previous civilization.
Joyna walked around half a town, looked around for about half a circle, and landed cautiously on the edge.
There are completely sealed "blocks" in the town not far away, which are actually buildings slightly taller than the surrounding buildings. The red and yellow paint is particularly eye-catching, with a square outline at the bottom of about 5 floors, a semicircular metal roof at the top and some thick launch holes. I don't know what it is used for. There are many such bunkers, all over the entire town's periphery.
She judged that this kind of building should be a product of the emperor's concept of "all people are soldiers" and could store war preparation materials and also be used as a node fortress during wartime.
But she didn't expect that after these bunkers were combined, they could still serve as a communication channel.
The reason was that she saw transport vehicles constantly entering the building through the open gates, and soon after, they came out from another direction of the town, indicating that there was a road connection below.
There were busy transport vehicles coming and going on the street. Perhaps the emperor felt very safe about the castle floating at a height of 10,000 meters, so there were not many patrolmen patrolling the streets, and instead loading workers and some four-legged transport machinery.
She saw some metal gates hidden under the buildings on the streets were opened, and mechanical cabins were tied with strange backpacks and transported to the car by workers.
I think it should be transported to the ground, and it should be filled with weapons and supplies and various supplies.
No wonder they were not worried about logistics supplies at all. As long as these things were airdropped, it would be enough for the Legion to use.
A rough estimate is that if these people are products of the system of the emperor and the whole nation, then this huge city should be able to accommodate at least tens of thousands to more than two hundred thousand people, which is no problem at all.
The emperor's residence is easy to identify, and it is located in the hilly area in the city.
The entire ancient iron city was built around the emperor's castle, and the streets were also surrounded by hills to form radial and concentric circles.
The castle on the hill is much taller than the town houses built in circles, as dazzling as the stars arch the moon.
Of course, Joyna would not be so stupid that she walked into the castle that she was swaggeringly. She was not here to negotiate with the emperor, but to figure out the opponent's next actions and strategic plans. This kind of spy that was tantamount to suicide could only be accomplished by her. No one else could have the ability of her, but she was afraid that she would not be able to come back after she went.
For those who think that understanding the emperor and not understanding him, the emperor is a mystery.
He likes to hide himself very much, otherwise he would not have been called "faceless God of War".
No one knows his origin, which also makes him a perfect master and a natural leader.
Joyna once thought that the name of "faceless God of War" came from his cruel rule and iron-blooded means, and it was his style that he might achieve rule through intimidation and fear. After all, she had seen too many gang leaders before.
However, when she really saw the reality - the streets and houses of Gu Tiecheng that were as neat as barracks, she remembered the previous rumors, and was shocked about his extremely high support and countless noble prestige among the people.
What kind of emperor is this?
Or, what kind of man is it?
He is like a natural war machine, both mindful and iron-fisted. He created the ancient iron city with one hand and has been in charge for many years. He can issue orders and command his subordinates to achieve a state of satisfying his supreme will.
Moreover, he also has the ability to hide his supernatural power, which makes his heart expand infinitely.
Joyna knew that if she wanted to discover the countless secrets of the Faceless God of War, she had to find some breakthroughs.
"Look, you can't hide it from me! I will dig out those things, and your secret will eventually come out of the world!"
Joyna secretly thought in her heart that she had approached the buildings here quietly, not wanting to alarm those busy people. Perhaps those bunker buildings were the first things she had to explore.
Everything buried deep underground is shameless.
Mr. Ghost once said that the emperor had many confidential laboratories and also had contact with the messengers of the Obsidian Society, trying to use viruses as a catalyst for genetic mutation to create those powerful warriors.
Joyna was not sure how those powerful warriors were made, but they must have their modulation equipment somewhere in the city. If they could steal confidential information or genetic samples, they would definitely be able to figure out these things.
She quietly jumped onto the roof of the building in the city. The reddish-brown roofs and the trees not planted tightly retreated behind her. The rising sunlight pulled down long shadows on the roof without stopping. She sneaked into the core area as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, almost instinctively, her upper body felt like she was shining by cold death light, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Her sharp and ultra-distance feeling, which was far stronger than ordinary people, immediately hidden in the corners between the houses.
Soon, she discovered that the feeling came from a strange machine at the top of the "bunker".
There is an unmanned infrared heat sensor there.
