Chapter 623 The Threat From the North (1)(1/2)
In the end, Gu Donghai and Hu Yue's glorious retirement farewell banquet did not disperse until ten o'clock in the evening. Zhang Jiaxing's abnormal behavior surprised a group of managers because he was a little too enthusiastic.
After taking the position of president, this guy suddenly seemed to be changing his temper, being polite to everyone, and no longer getting angry at random. Except for a gloomy and dead face, he was a completely different person, which made a group of officials who knew him feel a little uncomfortable. Even Gu Donghai and Hu Yue also felt like they were confused.
Gu Donghai and Hu Yue were eventually awarded the honorary title of "Travel Blazers" by Zhang Jiaxing, which means that they were the pioneers of the development of the group's intelligent weapon unit. Each of them received a permanent housing unit in the inner city villa area of No. 01. During their lifetime, their food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and defecation were all guaranteed by the "Nanshan" Group, just like the glorious retirement before the disaster.
Although housing is of no use to them, it has permanent ownership after all. For the people under the current Zhang family, it is absolutely enviable to own a house in the inner city of the No. 01 settlement.
The most important thing is that each person also received a "Trail Blazer" golden medal with the highest honor of the "Nanshan" group. This thing can be hereditary. Even after two people passed away, their families could still receive the protection of the "Nanshan" group with this medal. In any aspect, even if they committed the murder of murder, it was equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death.
...
The Ertai Mountains are the largest of the most numerous mountain ranges in ancient and Mongolian countries. It is only five or six hundred kilometers south of the border of China's Mengzhou. Nowadays, the ancient and Mongolian countries can almost be regarded as the territory of China, because it is definitely a vast land and sparsely populated. After the "Nanshan" group swallowed it up, it only barely gathered two not-so-large settlements, with a total population of not even a breakthrough of two million.
Zhang Dong is the first field army of the Zhang army. At present, his field army is concentrated in the settlements No. 19 and 20. Both settlements are in Mengzhou. There are very few civilians living in, most of them are military garrisons.
According to Zhang Qingtian's original idea, there was no need to establish a settlement here because he was determined to concentrate all the remaining humans.
Later, considering the need to prevent potential enemies from invading south from the north, two settlements were established in Mengzhou. In fact, the role it played was to face the outposts of China in the north.
The settlement of No. 19 is built on the border between ancient Mongolia and Huaxia Mengzhou, and is only 500 kilometers away from the Ertai Mountains. Therefore, the hunting teams of the garrison often go deep into the Ertai Mountains to hunt and increase the menu variety of troops.
Three days ago, Zhang Dongzheng suddenly received a smart notification that something abnormal happened in the coordinates of somewhere in the Ertai Mountains, and asked him to send mecha investigators to investigate.
Time is when Zhang Jiaxing holds a farewell party for two scientific experts.
So Zhang Dong was quickly sending his winged mecha to investigate, but it has been three days since today. The coordinates sent by intelligence were not found by mecha detectives except for a large Ertai crack.
However, all the mecha warriors discovered that the big crack was not only very high in temperature, but also extremely dark. It was a pure black, like a black hole in space, and even the light seemed to be swallowed up. The mecha's lighting did not work at all.
If they hadn't gone deeper, some people might not have been able to come out.
After a few waves of investigation, Zhang Dongsheng planned to give up because the people below reported that there was nothing in the world. As a result, the president actually called him to ask about the situation in person this morning. There was no way, and the investigation had to continue.
Zheng Yong is the battalion commander of Zhang Dongzheng's first field army. He is a senior physical evolutionist. He has been the commander of the reconnaissance battalion for three years. He is considered the commander of the ace reconnaissance battalion in Zhang Dongzheng's hands.
After several waves of reconnaissance failed, Zhang Dongzheng was scolded by Zhang Jiaxing, saying that he was negligent and lazy and did not give him the new president a face at all.
This guy was almost crying when he was scolded. He was a senior commander and could not search the guy himself, so Zheng Yong was summoned.
"Report!"
Zheng Yong's report came from outside the door.
"Report me, hurry up and get in!"
"Ah...yes!"
Zheng Yong was startled. Zhang Dong was very angry when he looked at him. It seemed that this stupid scolding was inevitable.
"Commander, who has offended you? You are so angry. Tell me, I'll vent your anger. That turtle son is so blind and actually offended our commander!"
After pushing the door and entering, the guy bent over and asked with a flattering look on his face, his monkey face almost rubbing against the ground.
Zhang Dongzheng shook his hand: "You turtle son have stood up for me, and your face is almost on the ground. Well, a soldier has no integrity at all. I can't stand your slapstick face!"
"Hehehe...we're not low-key!"
"Low down on your grandma's legs. I was scolded by the president just now. Didn't you say you want to vent your anger for the commander? Go now!"
Zhang Dong was looking at this guy with a cowardly face, and he was so angry that he was not even a little bit.
"Ah... Commander, don't joke about me. President, I tremble when I see my legs. He angrily scolded me, I'm afraid I can pee, and I'll vent my anger. You can spare me!
Now you have scolded me, what are you telling me? Even if you want to finish your head, Zheng Yong will do it for you?"
Zhang Dong was walking towards a map, then pointed to the location of the Ertai Mountains in the ancient Mongolian Kingdom and said, "Zheng Yong, you are my ace investigation battalion commander. It depends on you whether you can take off my hat of being lazy!"
Zheng Yong looked confused: "Commander, don't scare me. You can just say what mission you have, why are you still lazy in the battle? This is not the case for the former president to be in military law!"
"Shao President... Well, it's not right. The president sent me a few days ago that there was an abnormal situation here and asked me to send someone to investigate. However, after several waves of reconnaissance battalions came back, they said that there was no hair everywhere. Originally, I didn't have any. This morning, the president called me again to ask me if I had any investigation. It seemed that there was something strange, because the president now controls more than 20 satellites, and everything should not be hidden from him."
Zhang Dong was pointing at Ertai Mountain District and said.
When Zheng Yong heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "It's just this matter, Commander, you have already said it. If you want to investigate, this is our third battalion."
This guy gave a thumbs up: "I dare to say in the entire army that if our third battalion ranks second, there will be no one in the first place!"
"Go and go... Shao Tama's bragging for me, it's not too late to say such big words when you come back from your investigation!"
Zhang Dong was making an exaggerated gesture like a flies: "There must be something strange about that big crack, otherwise the president wouldn't bite it and urge it again and again. Go, don't embarrass me. The ace investigation camp in Yiye is definitely not just a talk!"
"Yes, Commander, don't worry. If you can't complete the mission, I will dig out my eyes and use them as a cannon for you to step on!"
At dusk, two hundred wing mechas whizzed from the military camp at the No. 19 settlement and flew to the Ertai Mountains area to the north.
The mecha reconnaissance battalion was organized with 300 mechas. In order to ensure the completion of the mission, Zheng Yong directly dispatched two-thirds of the force, that is, the forces of two reconnaissance companies.
He knew about the big crack in the Ertai Mountains. In the past, they passed by many places when they were hunting, but in Zheng Yong's impression, there was nothing else except the bottomless crack. Why did the president have to send someone to investigate now? A big question mark appeared in this guy's mind.
Back a few days ago, Lu Xing found this big crack and took some time. His original plan was to release some of the hatched monsters more than ten kilometers north of the No. 19 settlement, but the defenders here did not have any powerful barriers except for a trench and simple fortifications to defend.
This makes the problem a little tricky. These monsters have amazing destructive power. If they break through the defense line and break into the settlement, it will definitely be a disaster for the civilians. These guys cannot break the defense even if they are automatic rifles. Where can ordinary people get the means of defending the enemy? Perhaps before reinforcements appear, the civilians have been slaughtered.
So he could only expand the scope and search for places where monsters could exert their strength. This place should not only be discovered by the Zhang army, but also have enough distance and defense barriers. The monsters must not easily rush into the Zhang defense line.
Taking Long Xiaowei in the air, the snow on the ground covered almost everything, including the endless mountains.
Suddenly, this big crack appeared in the field of vision of the two people, and the snow could not cover this thing. A big crack like a big mouth finally became Lu Xing's choice.
After landing at the crack, Lu Xing realized how suitable this was. First of all, the width of the crack was about eighty or ninety meters. The visible length on the surface was more than three or five kilometers, and the depth was definitely not bottom-out. He flew down for more than ten kilometers but didn't reach the bottom. After more than ten kilometers deep, the lower part suddenly became wider and the temperature suddenly increased, which looked about forty or fifty degrees. For those monster eggs, this temperature was definitely the best hatching temperature.
"Brother Ah Xing, can satellites discover this place with such a big crack?"
Long Xiaowei looked up at the sky above the crack and said.
"Isn't this a lice on the bald man's head an obvious thing? Such a big crack can definitely be found. It is said that when the weather is good and the visibility is high, satellites can even take pictures of human faces on the ground!"
Lu Xing moved out a monster egg and was about to find a place to place it, while answering his girlfriend's question.
"Then wouldn't we be safe here? If we were photographed, I'm afraid that Zhang Jiaxing would use this as a fuss?"
Lu Xing thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "Since he has satellites to use, then let's just give him a blind chess game."
Long Xiaowei blinked her big eyes: "What blind chess?"
Lu Xing scraped her Qiong Nose: "Haha, wait and see!"
After this guy finished speaking, he thought about it. From about ten meters outside his body, a large area of ink-like black suddenly appeared. This blackness is neither fog nor blocked light. It seems that they are pure darkness, and are inherently so dark.
Immediately afterwards, the entire crack began to be covered in darkness, and even the sun could not be projected in, and it was completely isolated.
Below the ink-black crack, a strong light suddenly appeared at Lu Xing's feet, illuminating the entire space at the bottom of the crack, and a strange scene with blackness on the top and brightness on the bottom appeared in the big crack.
Long Xiaowei suddenly spoke as she looked at such a magical scene: "Brother Ah Xing, is this the dark and light powers awakened when escorting Jack Danny and the others?"
"Yes, it's amazing?"
This guy looked arrogant.
After covering the upper half of the large crack with dark powers, Lu Xing used soil element superpowers to influence the geological structure in the middle of the crack, and forced the rock walls on both sides to the middle, and finally allowed the rock walls to connect with each other more than ten kilometers below the crack, becoming the top cover of the crack in the lower half.
After doing this, he took his girlfriend to the bottom of the top cover and took out five hundred monster eggs and arranged them on the bulge of the rock wall.
Looking at the rows of huge monster eggs, Long Xiaowei turned her head and asked, "Brother Ah Xing, can you just keep it like this?"
Lu Xing nodded: "Well... I have hatched this thing. As long as the temperature exceeds ten degrees, it can be hatched. How can I not let it hatch? I have the final say in the space beads in my current space, so it is up to me to hatch!"
The girl looked at her lover and her eyes were filled with little stars. It seemed that Lu Xing was truly handsome at this moment. It had nothing to do with her appearance, but a kind of handsomeness that came from the inside.
While fiddling with monster eggs, Lu Xing looked at his girlfriend: "Why did you look so handsome by your brother Ah Xing?"
"Bah... shameless, Yang Fan and the others said that you are not handsome at all!"
"Ah... I heard them talk nonsense, that's the mentality of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour. Okay, we just sit and watch them. I'll put away one when I come out. I don't know what's going on with this thing, as if it looks in the wind. We must not give them enough time to grow, otherwise a mecha would not be enough to deal with one."
"Brother Ah Xing, what's going on with which predators do you think? He actually collected so many monsters as trophy?"
The girl leaned on Lu Xing's shoulder and sat down, suddenly thinking about the origin of these monsters. If it weren't for the predators, these monsters would never have appeared on Earth.
"Who knows, maybe it's boring. They are crisscrossing the galaxy for countless years and are a bit too powerful. If humans had not entered the door of evolution, they might not have been able to defeat them at all. This drink seems like an invisible hand is controlling it behind the scenes."
"Click!"
Suddenly, a crack sounded on a monster egg. The two of them looked at an egg in the distance, and saw a three-fingered claw sticking out of the egg, followed by the entire monster's forelimb.
"It's out, so soon!"
"ah……"
Immediately afterwards, the monster's head squeezed out from half of the eggshell, and a sharp roar rang out.
"Click!"
After the monster came out, a pair of forelimbs grabbed the broken eggshells and ate them. Seeing that the body that was about one foot long began to rise sharply, it was definitely in line with what Lu Xing said that it was growing in the wind.
It was the second day after they entered the big crack, which was the first day when Zhang Jiaxing discovered something strange through satellites.
Lu Xing looked at the monsters chewing on the broken egg shells, and then said to Long Xiaowei: "Let's go out and find something to eat. They will take about a day to grow into a threatening body, about five or six meters. When we come back and put it away, we can prepare to cause trouble for Zhang's defense line!"
Long Xiaowei looked at the little monsters gnawing on eggshells: "Can they grow up without eating?"
"Well, as far as I know, it's that. Last time I hatched hundreds of them and never fed anything. When I released them in the Predator spacecraft, my body length was already ten meters away, but that was their final volume. Of course, if the tail was included, it would be at least twenty meters in size. I don't know how these alien creatures obtain growth matter?"
After saying that, Lu Xing knew about teleportation, so he led Long Xiaowei out of the big crack. The two of them rose and fell into the vast dense forest of the Ertai Mountains.
To be continued...
