The three of them came to the front of Mount Ararat, a high mountain with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. It is covered with ice and snow all year round, and the rolling mountains are like a lying girl wrapped in white gauze.
"Norma, we need satellite maps." Susie called.
"Received." The central processor in the United States responded immediately. As the supercomputer of Cassel College, 'Norma' will provide round-the-clock information support for the commissioners operating in the field.
A three-dimensional terrain map outlined with dark green contours was displayed on the tablet in Susie's hand. Norma was very considerate and gave them not just a satellite map, but a complete scanned image of the mountain terrain.
"It's not visible here," Susie pointed at the towering mountains in front of her, "but the topographic map shows that there is a large lake in the center of the mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides. To investigate a place, the best way is to look at its ecology
Let’s start checking the circle, right? We have to get to the top of the mountain first.”
Surrounded by mountains, there is a huge lake.
The purpose of their coming here is to explore the relics of the past life in the 'Kingdom of Gods'. Naturally, they should start from the source of life. This is a very reasonable clue. It is better than them looking like headless flies in such a large mountain range.
Much more realistic.
Even if there is a three-dimensional terrain map, the specific conditions there cannot be seen. If they want to understand, they have to climb the mountain and go there in person.
No one objected to her opinion, but when they stepped onto the mountain, they were stunned by the beautiful sight in front of them.
"The clock of good fortune is beautiful, and the yin and yang cut off the dusk."
This sentence may be used to describe this place very appropriately.
The sun seems to cut the mountain into two sides. The dark side is covered with snow, while the other side...
This is a piece of magnificent red, with red corals all over the mountains and fields dyeing everything on this side red. They are located between the mountains, and at a glance they are all red. Corals should grow on the seabed, but here it seems that they have been touched by the God of Nature.
Such a miraculous sight was possible thanks to the gift.
But there was no happy expression on their faces.
Because they all know they probably won the jackpot.
Any normal person can feel the abnormality of the natural environment here.
This is in the middle of a mountain range with an altitude of more than three or four thousand meters. How could such a large area of coral appear? What the hell! And wasn't there supposed to be a lake in the middle? Where is the lake?
"retreat."
Hoshino Aoi frowned, and she ordered the retreat without any hesitation.
The purpose of their coming here is just to explore, there is no need to take unnecessary risks. Since they have discovered something abnormal, they only need to go back and report it, and then send people to conduct a large-scale search.
"President... we... can't leave."
The usually calm Susie's voice was trembling at this moment.
Hoshino Aoi looked back. She could probably understand what happened without any explanation.
Their route was blocked.
Behind us, we should have seen the dark side of the mountain, but when we turned around, we found that it was also a sea of coral.
From the moment they stepped onto the top of the mountain, their escape route had been blocked! There was only one possibility for the situation in front of them, they had stepped into the Nibelung of a certain noble being.
If they looked down from a high altitude at this time, they would find that they had fallen into a huge altar. The corals were like blood, swaying in the wind, and they gathered towards the center, like flowing blood.
They were at the top of the mountain now. No matter where they went, it was all red. It was clear that the mountains should surround the lake, but now it was upside down. They were in the center right now!
A crystal ring surrounds the red coral sea. The environment here is abnormal, with yin and yang reversed. The high peaks are full of corals, while the low places are lakes. Surrounding them are covered with ice that has not melted for thousands of years.
mountains.
The world changed in an instant. They seemed to have arrived at a mountain range under the sea. They were surrounded by corals in the center, red as blood, and they were sacrifices. They didn't know what they were worshiping, but no matter what they were,
Not good news for either of them.
"mean!"
Hoshino Aoi cursed, this is a trap, a despicable trap.
If they were at the bottom of the mountain, they would not be able to see the scene here anyway. If they want to see it, they have to climb to the top, which means falling into a trap.
From the moment they decided to investigate, they were destined to fall into a trap.
Now if they want to leave, they must cross the entire Coral Sea and cross the mountains surrounding here.
"Chu Zihang, try to contact the college and ask for support."
"Yes." Chu Zihang responded. He tried to call the headquarters, but the radio waves were interfered, which made everyone feel even more chilled.
…
Underground in the library of Kassel College, there was dead silence in the control room. A chaotic hiss of electricity came from the loudspeaker, the signal was interrupted, and the life or death was unknown.
Sitting on the console is Professor Schneider, the director of the Executive Department.
The blue and red combat uniforms below are clearly distinct.
On the left are members of the student union, with their leader, Caesar Gattuso, sitting directly in front.
On the right are members of the Lionheart Club, but the seats in front of them are empty.
No one needs to explain. The commissioners present probably know what the current situation is.
Schneider's eyes were gloomy at the moment. The investigation team sent out has lost contact. They are about to lose three outstanding students. They are all the elites of the Lion Heart Club, including the president of the Lion Heart Club and his proud students.
, Chu Zihang.
This was obviously just an exploration operation. He had also ordered the exploration team to evacuate if there was danger, but now contact is lost.
He couldn't confirm what happened, because everything happened too suddenly, the signal was suddenly interrupted, and he only knew that the place where they last lost contact was in the center of Mount Ararat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's far from despair. This is just the beginning, isn't it?"
A calm voice sounded in the control room.
Schneider frowned and looked at the dude in front of him. How could he make sarcastic remarks at this time?
"Chu Zihang will not die. I have full confidence in him. He is my opponent." Caesar noticed Schneider's unkind eyes and shrugged.
Since the last time he had a passionate fight with Chu Zihang, he has been paying close attention to this new student. Compared to the S-class new student who confused him, this guy named Chu Zihang is much more interesting.
He could see that this man had lions hidden in his eyes. Chu Zihang was definitely not someone who would admit defeat. He was convinced of this. As for why? Because he was the same! How could someone who could be his opponent be a waste?
, he didn’t believe that he would make a mistake. This was his confidence in Chu Zihang and his confidence in himself.
"you're right."
A voice of approval came from the door of the control room.
Everyone looked around, and a man and a woman suddenly appeared at the door of the control room. They all knew these two people.
Xuan Hao, the S-class commissioner who went to Japan to perform a mission, and Treya Hall, the former president of the Lionheart Club.
Isn’t this guy unwilling to come back in Japan? Why did he suddenly appear here and stay with Treya?
Everyone looked at the two people who walked in suspiciously.
Xuan Hao had a faint smile on his face, and the tense atmosphere at the scene did not affect his interest at all. Treya's face was serious, as if she was facing a formidable enemy. She was the former president of the Lion Heart Club, but few people were here.
I saw such a serious expression on the girl's face.
"Professor Schneider, please let me direct the next actions, okay?" Treya looked at Schneider on the stage with a serious face, and it seemed that he was not joking, "Please."
She bowed deeply.
"The current situation involves the lives of three outstanding commissioners. This is not the time to show off." Schneider's hoarse voice sounded.
He was equally nervous, because among these commissioners were students whom he personally supervised.
"I know," Treya nodded, "but they are not only commissioners of the academy, but also members of my Lionheart Club."
With a firm gaze, she stepped onto the podium. No matter how scary the professor in front of her looked, or whether he agreed or not, she would give instructions today. This was decided from the beginning.
And she finally found the strongest help.
Treya stood on the stage and glanced at Xuan Hao, who stood behind her with a smile.
Then Treya looked down at the commissioners in the audience.
"This place is now taken over by our Lion Heart Club. Do you have any opinions?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, a blond man stood up.
He stretched, then yawned and walked towards the door.
As he walked, he kept mumbling, "It seems like nothing is going to happen without me. Come on~"
The commissioners affiliated with the student union looked at each other in confusion. Their president had left, so why were they still here? They slipped away, and everyone got up one after another and followed Caesar away.
For a time, apart from the confused Professor Schneider on the stage, the only members of the Lionheart Club were left in the control room.
This place is now a hunting ground for lions. Caesar chose to leave with great self-knowledge. Firstly, he could not help much. Secondly, this was already an internal matter belonging to the Lionheart Club. They were going to rescue their families.
', it is not convenient for him as an outsider to intervene.
Schneider looked at the group of students with some depression. When did he lose his place so much? Is it because my head of the executive department can't handle the knife, or are you guys too distracted?
It doesn't matter if Caesar doesn't respect him, he is a dandy, and he is supported by the Gattuso family on the school board.
Schneider glanced at the people in front of him, okay, Treya Hall, the only daughter of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, I heard that she has something to do with the school board, so she can't afford to offend her. Xuan Hao, okay, according to what Angers said,
He deduced that this guy had a close relationship with China's 'Emperor', and he seemed to be someone he couldn't afford to offend...
Are they all co-authors with connections behind the scenes? Schneider sighed helplessly. He estimated that he would be able to add some tasks to the ordinary students sitting below afterward.
Xuan Hao was shocked, it was me in the background!
He yawned out of boredom and glanced at the old guy wearing an oxygen mask next to him. By the way, why would such a seriously ill patient come here to join in the fun if he didn't go to the hospital?
Well, actually Xuanhao himself didn't want to come here to join in the fun, but the conditions offered by the other party were too tempting.
Standing in front of him was the rich... the only daughter of a grand duke who was arranging rescue work. Suddenly she called him.
She asked him to come back to help save people, even at the expense of herself, saying that if she succeeded, she would be willing to be his maid. How could he refuse?
To be honest, he didn't quite understand what this woman was thinking. She said she was unwilling to be his maid before, but now she actually came to her door.
When he knew that Chu Zihang was in this mission, he almost laughed out loud. Didn't she give it in vain?
The mission is very dangerous. All the commissioners who went on the mission have lost contact. What? There is Chu Zihang in it? Then it’s okay. According to the direction of the script, Chu Zihang can’t die no matter what he thinks, right? Probably.
But you still can’t be careless. Xuan Hao scratched his head. His appearance changed a lot of things. It would not be fun if there was some butterfly effect and Chu Zihang was wiped out. His Cowherd shop is still short of people. Since then
After Su Enxi helped him fulfill his wish that "people across the country can afford pork," he was like a salted fish and lost his ideals again.
Recently, he has finally come up with a new plan, such as setting up a 'Tokyo Cowboys'. He has almost found candidates, but he can't let those boring dragons spoil the big thing. Chu Zihang is a rare talent.
Ah, we have to arrange it.
"Hello!"
Xuan Hao felt as if he had been kicked.
"Are you listening to me?" Treya frowned.
Her battle plan had been deployed and everyone had left. When she turned around, she found this guy in a daze?
"Hey? Is this your attitude towards your master?" Xuan Hao dusted himself off.
"Oh, wait until you rescue me before you mention this to me!" Treya's face was full of disgust, "Also, the agreement we made before was only until I graduate!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Xuan Hao shrugged indifferently, innocent girl, when the time comes in my hands, do you still want to escape?
Schneider, who was still on the console, looked strange.
He didn't understand the relationship between these guys in front of him.
Master? Isn't she the only daughter of the Grand Duke? Why do you call this guy Master? Now he is increasingly doubting that this guy is the 'Emperor' himself. This is too scary. If this guy is really the 'Emperor', why are you looking at him?
He looks so young! Also, are the 'Emperor's' hands not limited to China? Then the purpose of his coming to Kassel College...
The more Schneider thought about it, the more panicked he became. He felt that his brain was running out. Maybe he should think more simply. This was just a 'role-playing game' between two young lovers?
No, he seems to have forgotten something. Is this the time to think wildly? Chu Zihang is still waiting for someone to rescue him!
"Ahem..." Schneider tried his best to look majestic, "So, is it time to take action now?"
"Hey, okay." Xuan Hao replied helplessly.
To be honest, Xuan Hao doesn't have much hope. The life and death of others really has little to do with him, and the time from here to the target location, if nothing else happens, will be almost freezing.
It was not easy for him to dampen the hopes of these guys. Waiting for rescue was inherently impractical. The best way to save yourself when in danger was to save yourself. Instead of hoping that they could successfully rescue, it was better to pray that Chu Zihang could be stronger. Maybe
Is there really such a thing as the protagonist's halo in this world? Is it possible that Chu Zihang can save the day from danger?
