Chapter 1426 Journey to the Past

The cold wind carried the snowflakes across the earth, and there was only a vast landscape covered with snow. The mountains in the distance were hidden by the wind and snow, leaving only a series of vague undulating shadows lying on the horizon. What could be seen nearby The only sign is a pine forest swaying in the cold wind. The evergreen plants that can grow on cold snowfields are now completely covered with snow, and there is almost no trace of green. Occasionally, strong winds blow through, and the pine forest sways. Only then did the snow fall from the trees, rolling up a cloud of white "smoke".

Hao Ren stood on the snowy field, his legs almost covered by the deep snow to his knees. He looked back at the passage where he came from, and saw that the huge whirlpool of black and red clouds and mist had completely disappeared, and there was only one thing in the air. One or two crackling bloody electric lights remained, and only the snow that blew radially around could prove that there had been a powerful energy release here.

He exhaled, and a burst of white mist blurred his vision: "Huh... the impact point is actually on the snowfield?"

He tried calling the data terminal and Raven 12345 in the mental connection, and then tested several other backup communication channels. Not surprisingly, he found that they had all been cut off. He knew that this was the "security system" mentioned by Raven 12345. "It's working: He is now in the second mirror Earth, which is completely contaminated by abnormal time and space. This mirror is located in the security sandbox. Before the pollution subsides, the security sandbox will be in the highest level security mode, and all internal and external communications will be blocked by the system. Truncated, Raven 12345 should be able to understand the status of Mirror Earth 2 through technical means from outside the sandbox, but direct intervention is impossible.

From now on, you can only rely on yourself.

Performing tasks alone can cause a lot of uneasiness, especially in such a strange environment, but completing tasks independently is also a quality that a qualified reviewer must possess. Although Hao Ren has not been on the job for a long time, But he never relaxed, so after simply adjusting his state, he confidently began to explore the world.

The first is to determine your current position.

Hao Ren opened his personal space, and two probes emitting blue light appeared out of thin air and flew into the distance quickly. The images returned by the probes directly appeared in his mind. However, the scan had just extended to the vicinity of the pine forest. The stability of the images returned by the probes began to decline sharply, and various strange interference patterns filled the images. After a while, the two probes completely lost contact.

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and began to analyze the cause of this phenomenon, and made a vague guess: due to the influence of space-time distortion, the time and space of Mirror Earth 2 are actually in a discontinuous state, and the stable environment seen in front of him is actually just It is just a brief calm in a certain space-time fragment, so the method of detecting the surrounding environment through wide-area probes is not applicable here.

It seems that we can only go on down-to-earth on our own.

There was a problem with the best detection method, but Hao Ren was not too discouraged. He began to observe the position of the sun and the surrounding vegetation, recalled Vivian's historical range of activities, and guessed the approximate area he was currently in. where.

Unfortunately, we can only observe the sun now. If it is night, we should be able to better determine our latitude and longitude by observing the starry sky.

"It should be the northern hemisphere...and there is a layer of frozen soil under the snow, and the surrounding plants are all things that only grow in cold climate zones. Could it be that I am in Siberia again?" Hao Ren said to himself while observing the surrounding environment. Said, "Let me think about it... Historically, Vivian has indeed been active in Siberia for a period of time. Her 'last stop' should have been fighting angry spirits in Siberia? By the way, the Andrei family in Siberia, this family's The ancestor was one of the followers Vivian received during this period. Vivian fell into a deep sleep after defeating the angry spirit, and the Andre family built a family castle near the seal of the angry spirit... So Vivian's The sleeping place should be somewhere near Siberia... It makes sense."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of silk cloth from his pocket. After shaking it open, there was a "diary" written in dark red paint. This was Vivian's diary, which recorded Vivian's rather long diary. There is also a rough record of what she has seen and heard during a period of time when she fell into a deep sleep. In this turbulence of time and space generated by the distortion of her memory, this thing is a vital source of information.

Hao Ren compared the records in the notebook. The last record on it was about Vivian's activities in Siberia. His guess was confirmed: the source of the distortion of time and space was Vivian, so every time he intervened The turbulent flow of time and space should all land near her, and around one of her "major events". Vivian's last sleep was probably here, so his first stop would be in Siberia. That’s normal.

Of course, it is possible that Vivian had a deep sleep that she didn't even know about in the following period. However, this can only be regarded as a guess. Before there is other evidence, Hao Ren can only believe in the hand. This handbook.

But it is not an easy task to find Vivian's sleeping place in this vast expanse of snow.

Because Hao Ren soon realized an extremely deceptive fact: Vivian would choose an inaccessible place every time before falling into a deep sleep. She would even bury herself underground and submerge herself in the water to make herself extremely hidden, and she also wanted to be kissed. The fate is that Siberia was originally a magical place where birds had nothing to eat. Three hundred years ago, except for the heavy criminals who were exiled by Tsarist Russia and were waiting to die, there were basically only bears and wolves left in this place. I can't even find anyone asking questions here... Where can I find anyone in this vast snowfield? !

He could only hope that the landing point where he was teleported would be close enough to Vivian, preferably so close that he could accidentally kick the coffin board where Vivian was sleeping if he took two steps forward. An was still going crazy at this time, so she could at least make some noise for herself to see...

With such far-fetched thoughts running through his mind, Hao Ren walked towards the pine forest: compared to the completely unobstructed snowfield, the pine forest was at least a place that could shelter from the wind and snow, and Vivian really wanted to find one. If you want to sleep in a place, you should also find a conspicuous sign. At least it is unlikely to be on an endless plain, because the plain is suitable for human development, and the chance of being dug up while sleeping here is too high - this is Vivian The "sleep secret" mentioned in a casual conversation...

It's a pity that the things recorded in the handbook stopped completely after entering Siberia. Vivian's last sleep here caused her to completely forget about this place. Otherwise, Hao Ren would have more information now.

Of course, Hao Ren did not act blindly. He fully released his spiritual power while going deep into the pine forest.

Perceiving foreign objects with mental power is not Hao Ren's area of ​​expertise, but when one's own strength reaches a certain level, human perception itself will become extremely sharp. Even with half a bucket of water, Hao Ren can accurately scan the surroundings. to the extent of several hundred meters. Although this distance is not wide, it just avoids the interference caused by the discontinuity of distorted time and space. In this way, even if the probe cannot be used, he has other ways to quickly detect the surrounding environment.

Not long after advancing through the pine forest, he stopped.

There were things approaching, and there were many of them.

But after confirming what those things were, Hao Ren could only shake his head: they were just Siberian wolves.

He was also looking forward to some kind of green forest hero who stopped the road and robbed him - so that he could carry out a wave of robberies and get some information by the way...

But think about it, in such an era of backward productivity, in such a place where birds don't shit, it would take a very short-sighted person to go to Siberia and form a bandit to be a bandit. If you wait and see, at least there will be rabbits passing by. Well, who are you going to rob in this shitty place? It's better to dig potatoes and have a more stable harvest...

There was an extremely faint sound in the bushes in the distance. The wolves were obviously coming for a "prey" like Hao Ren who had just broken into the forest alone. In this place, human power is insignificant. Wolves and brown bears are the overlords at the top of the food chain. They will never let go of lone humans.

It's just that these hungry guys must not have imagined how hard they are going to chew.

The wolves were very careful when surrounding their prey, and showed unexpected organization and intelligence. However, in Hao Ren's perception, the location of these creatures was as clear as the lice on Yzaks' forehead. They were already within a dozen meters of each other. For the wolves, this was an incredibly close distance.

Hao Ren was surprised that they could tolerate it to such an extent.

But the next actions of the wolves made him even more confused: they did not pounce on them and bite them, but cautiously and quickly exchanged positions around them. There were waves of subtle noises coming from the bushes, and if you looked carefully, you could even hear them. I saw gray-white fur flashing between the gaps in the plants - what are these guys doing?

Hao Ren really wished Lily could be by his side at this time. It would be much easier for the husky girl to communicate with these canine creatures.

After a while, the wolves still had no intention of attacking. They just formed various strange arrays around them. This strange behavior finally wore away Hao Ren's patience. He simply took big steps and continued walking forward. Once, the wolves finally couldn't hold themselves back any longer.

Accompanied by waves of howling to attract friends, dozens of gray-white figures rushed out from the surrounding shrubs and trees. Their green eyes reflected the light of hunger, and the tips of their sharp fangs dripped with stench. With their saliva, these wolves had obviously accurately calculated the angle and position of their attack, and there was no blind spot when they pounced!

Then the wolves that pounced fastest had their teeth all over the ground shattered by the rigid shield.

Hao Ren touched his chin and felt that this scene seemed vaguely familiar.

Then he raised his fist and knocked away the Siberian wolves that kept rushing around him one after another.

In the pine forest, the pitiful cries of wolves howled one after another, mixed with the muffled sounds of fists hitting flesh. In almost a moment, Hao Ren was surrounded by only whining gray wolves and stains of blood.

Although Hao Ren only knocked them away, this fierce fighting power still shocked the entire wolf pack. The few gray wolves that were still standing were standing far away with their tails between their legs, looking like they had completely given up on fighting. .

And just when Hao Ren thought this farce was over, a powerful aura suddenly appeared in his mental perception and rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed!

He quickly looked up and saw a tall plume of smoke rising from the pine forest, and at the front of the smoke, a silver-haired girl wearing a leather jacket was rushing towards him with alarming momentum.

The girl's silver hair is flying behind her head, but there is a pair of sharp pointed ears standing on the top of her head. Her eyes are also different from ordinary people: in the sun, those golden eyes shine like amber!

Hao Ren was stunned when he saw the girl: "Lily?!"
