Chapter 122 On the Road (Two in One)
Chapter 122 · On the Road (Two-in-One)
——We'd better prepare a high-speed vehicle with a larger load capacity in the future.
After dawn, the sky turned bloody yellow. A sandstorm that was definitely caused by supernatural forces, but was not rare in the Nile River Basin, covered the entire Egypt. In such an environment, it became a very challenging task for satellites to capture specific figures.
"I didn't sense the other party's psychic, she didn't open the shielding area."
Jiang Yu looked at Zhan Lan and got a very helpless intelligence. If a psychic wants to scan a specific target, it must be marked in advance or the psychic knows how to make a filter. Otherwise, once the other party chooses not to open the shielding area and uses eleven routes to act, it will be very difficult to track down a specific target in the vast sea of sand.
The same is true for psychics. It is easy for a psychic to find another psychic. But the premise is that the other party also launched a psychic scan, or a psychic shield, or the main body entered the shielding area of the psychic. Then the mental fluctuations of both sides will collide with each other in the air, thereby identifying each other's approximate position. Once the other party gives up on the spot, the active party can only spend time and search patiently.
It's just a few million square kilometers, maybe they will just bump into it?
It's helpless, but there is no way. The Indian team is unlikely to know that the Central Continent team has hung a synchronous satellite in the sky. But this sandstorm does provide them with some convenience.
This may be a precautionary measure - the Indian team is prepared for precautions, and then they just bump into it.
But fortunately, because the key to victory is still in the hands of the Central Continent team's reincarnation.
"Although I can't find her, I found Hamunatta." Zhan Lan covered his forehead and made the same helpless sound. "The good news is that there is no trace of human activity in Hamunatta at present. The bad news is that I can't see the core position of the temple and can't scan the area where the resurrection altar is placed."
It's not uncommon for a specific area to be blocked. Just like the gravekeeper provided the coordinates of several ancient temples last night... or early this morning. But when Zhan Lan scanned over, it was probably the core position where the statues were placed, and her mental power could not enter.
After all, the Egyptian gods exist, although we don't know where they hide. But the existence itself is a fact. The statues in the temple may store some of the gods' power, and this is like those mutants with biological force fields, which are forcibly planned out of the shielding area by the main god.
-I remember that in the original plot. When Zheng Zha returned to the mummy world view for the first time and triggered the second plot. On the way to guide him to the Amshe Oasis, there were several times when the statues in the temple came alive and then went down to beat people. And now it seems that this seems to be some kind of standard configuration, and it also eliminates the possibility of mentalists skipping the process and breaking into the Amshe Oasis.
Jiang Yu's mind recalled the past memories-after the battle before dawn, Zheng Zha went to talk to the male and female protagonists, exerting his ability to pull relationships as an elite white-collar worker. Jiang Yu apologized to Zhan Lan through the mind link first, then found the official members of the team one by one and chatted with them for a while.
Don't laugh, it's really nonsense. He racked his brains to say a lot of nonsense like "The weather is good today", "How do you feel", "Be careful next time", which is just for nothing. He felt that as a captain, he should express his concern and attention to his teammates, but it was a pity that his rare shortcomings did include "social skills".
Very embarrassing.
But who made Mr. Jiang a freshman who was keen on reading online novels before arriving in the reincarnation world and had just finished military training? He couldn't even get along with his roommates. And the correct way of socializing between social people... He really didn't understand it.
This made poor Mr. Jiang's work in adjusting the team atmosphere a bit funny. Zhan Lan, who was originally very angry, showed a helpless expression and accepted his apology for destroying his own sleep time. The others also looked like they couldn't help laughing. Perhaps only Mou Gang, who was a bit of an old workhorse, could resonate with him.
Jiang Yu felt that this was a bit of a dark history - but in any case, the task of adjusting the team atmosphere was finally completed. Although it was not very stiff originally, at least, in the next battle, everyone might have less psychological pressure.
Then...
"We have two choices." Chu Xuan finished his work of interpreting the secret history of ancient Egypt, and he didn't know what results he had achieved. "First, we go directly to Hamunatta. Fighting with the Indian team there, the disadvantage is that the Indian team is likely to hide from us, or arrive at the battlefield earlier than us at a faster speed. The advantage is that Imhotun must be there to revive Ansuna. As long as we move towards the direction of Hamunatta, the Indian team must keep up and use it as the battlefield for the decisive battle with us."
Imhotun couldn't give up Ansuna. No matter what contract the Indian team signed with Imhotun, it must include the item that must assist Imhotun in completing the resurrection ceremony. So, choosing this path is to attack the enemy and save him.
"The other option is that we go to Cairo, or somewhere else. We can calmly arrange battlefield positions there and strengthen the power we have. Evelyn is in our hands, and Immorton will definitely come to find her. But the disadvantage is that Evelin is not the only choice for Immorton. Although Ansuna's reincarnation is missing, it still exists. If the Indian team finds her in advance - this is extremely unlikely - they will find her. Relevant clues. Then our position may become the Maginot Line of Defense, and the advantage is that the enemy who hits the Maginot Line of Defense head-on is destined to die. "
Chu Xuan would not say the second choice without a reason. He mentioned the second option, which means that the benefits of the latter may be greater than the former. Because Seth has evolved with mythology and become a god who is not very friendly to humans and gods. Coupled with the evidence provided by the tombkeeper, it is basically certain that Set is not a generous god. If the Indian team gets some scraps from the plot of The Mummy 4, then they are most likely to be time-sensitive.
But this is uncertain. Who knows whether the Indian team got props, buffs, or other inner support?
Not enough evidence.
Now, someone has to make the decision.
"The initiative should be in our hands." Jiang Yu became the decision-maker, and no one stood up to interrupt him at this time. He knew that since Chu Xuan made the proposal after he had already decided to go to Hamna Tower, it naturally meant that the possibility of the latter was slightly higher than the former in Chu Xuan's calculations.
but……
——Hamna Tower, with the Altar of the Resurrection. And this is one of the most valuable props in the mummy's worldview. A Sun Sutra that has lost its resurrection altar needs to pay twice the resources consumed by the resurrection object in order to execute the resurrection procedure. And this means that once an A-level or even S-level enhanced holder is killed or injured in the team, it will be difficult for the remaining people to collect the money.
The Resurrection Altar must be in the hands of the Zhongzhou Team, and this world must belong to the Zhongzhou Team. Rather than leaving the Indian team with room to intervene.
Jiang Yu doesn’t know the rules of the world of the first generation. But he knew that in the original canon, the final battle in the third world of biochemistry was the same biochemical world where the two teams of Zhongzhou and the Demons fought in world seven. Although there is talk of world line duplication in fan works. However, there is no evidence to prove that in the first generation, worlds where team battles occurred would not simultaneously open access to return to all teams participating in the team battle.
——In the supplementary setting of the original sequel. It was mentioned that Chu Xuan and the clone Chu Xuan got in touch before the final battle. According to the rule that the Demon Team cannot return to the real world, the most likely way for the two Chu Xuan to contact each other is through the Resident Evil world... Anyway, there is no evidence to prove that this cannot be done. After all, the team battle of Biochemical 2 is originally He inherited the biochemical one that only the Zhongzhou team should have experienced.
The Lord God would never do anything unfair, so he used the biochemical field where the Central Continent team had experienced and had management and layout power as the place where team battles took place. It's a little too partial to one side. Of course, this may also be because the Central Continent team at that time was a bunch of real noobs, so that after carefully measuring the strength, the main god had to make a temporary enhancement of the world's monsters to ensure the balance on both sides, such an unseemly operation. But that should happen after the team battle world is set, not before.
so.
Jiang Yu repeated it, representing the entire team and serving as the de facto captain. made his first strategic decision.
"We go to Hamna Tower. We want to force the Indian team to fight us at Hamna Tower. This environment is certainly beneficial to Immorton, the immortal high priest. But once we move the location of the Resurrection Altar If a certain place is chosen as the decisive battlefield, then this geographical advantage will turn into its disadvantage. "
Immorton's biggest threat is its dark spells with wide range and significant damage. If it is in the Tower of Hamna, it can even awaken the ancient Pharaoh's guards and let them be its help - but this is not a complete advantage, because it cannot use the Sun Golden Scripture and can only use the ancient Egyptian Sacrificial language to deceive the pharaoh's guards into fighting for it. And once Evelyn, as the reincarnation of the real pharaoh princess, issues a rebuttal order to them in the language of ancient Egypt, the best case scenario is that the pharaoh's guards will defect on the spot. Usually, they get into conflicts and crash.
Also, Immorton cares more about the safety of the Resurrection Altar than the reincarnators. Once the environment is restricted there, it means that the high priest cannot release powerful attack spells with a wide range of damage. And it even had to be distracted by protecting the Altar of Resurrection.
It's a good deal. By using the location of the Resurrection Altar in Hamna Tower as a battlefield, at least half of the momentum gained by the Indian team can be eliminated. After weighing the risks, it is worth it even if you have to face the possibility that the Indian team may be strengthened by all members.
and……
"We're better than them. I... we can win, and we can win beautifully."
There was strong confidence in Jiang Yu's voice.
And his confidence naturally turned into the confidence of the team. Chu Xuan also nodded without saying any rebuttal or providing further guidance. But based on this, the entire team has become more confident.
"This is enchanted powder. It is made from the offerings of Ra provided by the gravekeeper. On the way to Hamunaptra, we can enchant all weapons and prepare some reloaded anti-spiritual bullets. They can effectively deal with the mummies of the pharaoh's guards. And in the original script, there are not only pharaoh's guards in Hamunaptra, but also slaves loyal to Imhotep." - Chu Xuan first laid out a row of bottles. This is the No. 1 confidence booster.
"This is an anti-curse amulet. I modified some anti-malice amulets purchased from the main god, and added the knowledge provided by the gravekeeper. So that they can have a special effect on the curse spells of ancient Egypt. If there are any unknown curse traps in Hamunaptra, then it should be able to solve some problems for people who are not able to protect themselves. Of course, there are also wooden signs on us. According to the head of the gravekeeper, as long as we read it in ancient Chinese, it can play a role in exorcism. Even newcomers may be able to disperse a mummy." - This is No. 2, a processed simple amulet. One for each person, and there are extra ones. It can be used to protect two plot protagonists who are probably fine, but still thin-skinned.
"This is a countermeasure against Set's power. It comes from the sacred objects of Horus and Osiris provided by the gravekeeper, and I have modified them according to Assyrian technology. Although there is only one, if it is driven by light energy, it will have a regional weakening effect on Set's protection." - This is number three, it looks like a staff. It was handed to Zhan Lan and emitted a faint halo.
Set is indeed a powerful god, but it is an indisputable fact that he was defeated by Horus, who symbolizes light, using the power of the underworld god Osiris.
So, this time everything is really ready.
The reincarnations of the Zhongzhou team, from top to bottom, from seniors to newcomers, to the confused and unaware plot protagonists. At this moment, they are full of confidence.
The steel giant ship started driving again, and the location of Hamunatta was only hundreds of kilometers away from the feet of the reincarnations.
On the way, Zhan Lan soon gave a pleasing piece of information - the other party's psychic showed a little clue!
"They noticed our whereabouts and knew our destination."
"Now, they are also heading towards Hamunatta - they are not ahead of us!"
Happy New Year, everyone
