Chapter 363 351 Liuli and the Kingdom of God
Chapter 363 351. Liuli and the Kingdom of God
Even though his head was blown up by the mercury core alchemical armor-piercing bullet of the academy, Lu Mingfei was still worried. He picked up the long sword that Wang Jiang had dropped from the ground, held the handle with both hands and stabbed it into the heart of the corpse.
The corpse just shook a little, and the blood spread to the snow around.
It was silent in the wind and snow. Even if the evil ghost had more than 80% of its brain tissue destroyed, it would die, but blood was still pumped out of Wang Jiang's heart.
Lu Mingfei immediately used the long sword to support the ground covered with ice and stood still with his eyes narrowed.
He found the soft seven stars that Ling brought him from his pocket with one hand, took out a cigarette and lit it, holding it in his mouth and taking a deep breath and exhaling a puff of smoke into the wind.
As soon as the smoke was exhaled from his mouth, it was immediately blown away by the wind. He pressed the earplugs, and the scales on his body slowly retracted into his skin. After closing without a single gap, the bones also made crackling noises. This was the dragon bone state being silently released.
In addition, the dragon characteristics that covered his body were rapidly fading.
The muscles that were surging like tides under his coat calmed down, and the bone spurs, bone protrusions and claws were all retracted into his body, and even the majestic golden eyes became dim.
"Chat?" Yuan Zhinv's voice was brisk, as if she had put down a huge burden.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei flicked off the cigarette butt with ashes, "Is Qilan okay?"
"I'm fine, no problem." Qilan's voice sounded beside Yuan Zhinv, "I originally wanted to provide you with remote assistance, but he showed up too suddenly, I'm no match for him."
Even among the A-level students in the academy, Qilan is definitely not one of the top ones. Facing a guy like Yuan Zhinv who is an outlier among the mixed-bloods, how could he be an opponent?
At this time, Lu Mingfei heard a rumbling sound coming from the distant mountain road. He turned his head and saw that it was a display of black box-type container trucks, with the compartments spread out naked in all directions, revealing the heavy artillery and heavy machine guns loaded inside.
And escorting these black vans are heavy tanks weighing tens of tons.
This convoy was full of murderous intent, and it came from Kanagawa not far away.
After the intelligence that the Ghosts had deployed tanks and military shotguns against the drilling camp of the Yamanashi Institute of Environmental Science was conveyed to the Snake Eight Clan, the heads of the families who stayed behind in Genji Heavy Industries responded immediately.
Tanks, heavy artillery, machine guns, and even military armed helicopters and destroyers, the Snake Eight Clan had the ability to get them from the Self-Defense Forces or the US military bases in Japan.
"They are preparing to launch a hot war in this mountain." Finkel shouted in the public channel. This guy was not one of the participants in the original mission, so he was not sent to the encrypted channel by EVA.
Lu Mingfei had already seen it without him saying that the low-flying black steel birds in the distance were smashing the blizzard and riding the waves.
There were eight armed helicopters.
"Lu Mingfei, be careful. Finkel and I must leave this area temporarily. Neither the Ghosts nor the Snake Eight Clan have any intention of retreating. Both sides have their own air forces, and a melee between helicopters is inevitable. If we stay here, I am worried that we will become the target of both of them." Nono's voice was clearly heard by Lu Mingfei.
"Okay, you guys contact Christina." Lu Mingfei said.
Qilan was still in Yuan Zhinv's hands, although the boy in the white hunting clothes seemed to have no ill intentions, and even shot a bullet through Wang Jiang's head as he had always wanted to do.
But it was Lu Mingfei's responsibility as the team leader to ensure the safe evacuation of every team member.
——
From the outside, the Dilieste was a huge ship with a length of 15 meters. If it was placed upright on land, it would be equivalent to a five-story building. However, perhaps due to the design problem, or perhaps in order to fit more things in the metal shell that could protect the driver and important equipment, the watertight compartment of the entire Dilieste for people to move around was only as big as a small elevator.
Fortunately, Chu Zihang and Caesar were in charge of the dive. If it was Fingel and Master Gattuso, they would have to shake their rather spectacular pectoralis major muscles to face each other.
"According to the operating manual, the water tank valve and oxygen equipment take up a lot of space. If you want, you can stay in the ventilation room, which may be more spacious...but our journey will definitely be very bumpy, and you have to find a way to fix yourself." Chu Zihang tried hard to squeeze himself towards the operating table, because otherwise he would have to bump into the ninja beauty with a thin waist and long legs behind him.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm not going anywhere." Jiude Mai kicked the back of Chu Zihang's chair with her legs crossed. She was sitting behind Caesar and Chu Zihang and looking out through the observation window.
Speaking of which, Jiude Mai originally used the dark light to hide herself in the shadow of the watertight compartment. With her years of training and proficiency in ninjutsu, even Caesar could hardly hear her breathing and heartbeat.
But now that both parties have spoken frankly, it is impossible for Jiude Mai to continue to suffer.
At this time, this small watertight cabin was densely covered with various valves and instruments. The space between the three aluminum alloy safety belt seats was horribly narrow. After sitting in the chairs, they seemed to be fixed in some kind of On the torture rack, it was not easy to move your hands and feet. If you were not careful, you would touch the valve stems painted red with "Danger" warning signs attached. It is said that some valves will release all the oxygen instantly.
In addition, neither Chu Zihang nor Caesar was willing to have too much physical contact with the strange ninja girl, so they had to work hard to squeeze themselves under the console.
"We should be very close to our destination. Look outside." Mai Shutoku said.
The xenon light beam on the deep submersible is so powerful that the surrounding space within 100 meters is illuminated. In fact, the seawater outside does not need to be illuminated at all, because the seawater here is not dark blue-black, but bright golden. red! The sea water is flowing with light like molten gold!
At a depth of seven thousand meters below the surface of the sea outside, the sun's rays cannot penetrate that thick sea water and shine here, so the light can only be...
Earth fire.
"Then the bottom is the real abyss, right? It's really spectacular." Caesar put his self-proclaimed handsome face close to the observation port and squeezed it into the shape of a pie, and suddenly some strange feelings arose in his heart.
It is not completely silent here. There always seems to be a huge long tail stirring the surrounding seawater outside the range illuminated by xenon lamps and gas thunder.
A molten golden crack can be vaguely seen across hundreds or even thousands of meters of sea water, extending in the north and south directions with no end in sight. Red rock formations rolled out of the crack, and magma spewed out intermittently, spreading to all directions. Overflowing slowly, the cold ice-like sea water and the hot magma blended like milk, and vague thunder echoed all around.
The reason why the sea water here is such a molten gold color is because of the wound in the earth not far away.
"This is the Japan Trench, right?" Caesar looked at Chu Zihang, "The north side you mentioned is connected to... what is it?"
"The Thousand Islands Trench connects to the Ogasawara Trench in the south and extends to the southwest and connects with Mariana." The expression on Chu Zihang's face did not change. It seemed that it was his normal behavior to be used as a Google search.
"Geologically speaking, it is the junction of the Eurasian and Pacific plates. The crust at the junction of the plates is very unstable, and volcanoes may erupt at any time, or like this, the fiery red mantle rolls out of the surface."
"Therefore, Japan is a place prone to earthquakes. Some theories say that if the crustal activity is too violent, Japan may sink into the Pacific overnight like Atlantis." Mai Shutoku shrugged.
"Are you really a purebred Japanese? Why do I feel like you don't care about your country?" Caesar glanced at Mai Shutoku curiously, "Use that tone to say, 'Japan may be like Art' Landis sank into the Pacific overnight."
"I'm not interested in your secrets or life experiences, so you'd better not be too interested in mine." Mai Shutoku shrugged, "Just treat them as fellow travelers who met by chance and return to the sea. I will leave, whether you want to expose me or catch me... there are few people in this world who can trap me."
"Boys don't like girls who are so strong," Caesar said.
Shutoku Mai was stunned, her sword-like slender eyebrows raised slightly.
"Do you feel that the temperature here has started to get frighteningly high?" Chu Zihang asked.
"Because we are only a few hundred meters away from the trench." Mai Shutoku said, "I know that your combat uniforms are made of cold-proof material, because Kassel Academy has never actually carried out operations in such a place. Based on the experience of the mission, he only thought that there should be extreme cold in the Abyss, but this is probably the closest location to the center of the earth in the world. The magma that comes out of the mantle will not be exhausted for tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years. The sea water will boil, and it is normal for the temperature to be high, but you two are elite members of the secret party and have to endure the high temperature of tens of degrees... Of course, if you two want to take off your clothes, I have no objection. "
"So you're going to take off two pieces too?" Caesar looked a little excited. As he spoke, he had already torn off his dark combat uniform with a metal grid structure that could shield the mental influence of dragons.
After doing this, Master Gattuso let out a happy moan, as if he had taken a sip of ice-cold Coke on a hot summer day.
"I don't need to take off my clothes. The material of this combat uniform is different from yours. It can help lower my body temperature."
"The chest muscles are nice, but it's a pity that I don't like Italians." Mai Shude looked at Master Gattuso up and down with a scrutinizing look, then smacked her lips and made a comment.
In fact, Caesar was wearing a somewhat tight navy T-shirt at this time, but his chest muscles were indeed majestic and could leave a very deep first impression on people.
"Are you racist?" He was stunned and frowned at Mai Shutoku.
"No, your body hair is too thick." Mai Shutoku made a disgusted expression and covered her nose, "As ninjas, our five senses are trained to be very keen, including our sense of smell. Strong body hair usually means heavy weight. Body odor, I can’t stand the smell of you..."
Young Master Gattuso choked and turned his head gloomily. Chu Zihang couldn't bear it anymore and took off his outermost thickened warm combat uniform.
"So you should know what we want to do, right?" Chu Zihang pointed down, "Blow up the dragon embryo that sank into the abyss with the Lenin. It would be best to destroy the ecosystem that was shaped by the dragon blood pollution to avoid the destruction of the biodiversity of the Pacific Ocean. More importantly, it is to completely prevent a biological disaster that may occur many years later."
Jiu De Mai nodded.
They have seen super-large dragon subspecies swimming in the sea water from four to six thousand meters deep, such as the super dragon whale with a belly covered with scales several tens of meters long. When that thing swam over their submersible, it was like a cloud pattern silently passing through the sky.
Another example is the giant squid with a diameter of nearly one meter on its tentacles, and its suckers are full of sharp teeth like shark teeth.
But the real ecosystem should exist dependent on the embryo. Whether it is the giant squid or the dragon whale, they are definitely not the bottom of the food chain, that is, the so-called producer.
The giant squid is the top predator in the deep sea. Its dragon genes should come from another creature. The most suitable place for low-level creatures such as lung snails and krill to survive is precisely where the embryos are hatched, because there is enough food there, and the leaked dragon genes will rewrite their DNA.
At this time, Caesar saw the fusion of seawater and magma, and the extreme cold and extreme heat coexisted harmoniously under their noses.
The pressure in the trench is too high, and the boiling point of water also increases under high pressure. The pressure outside this extreme area of the seabed is close to 800 atmospheres, and the boiling point of seawater can even exceed 500 degrees.
At the junction of magma and seawater, seawater is still instantly vaporized. Those thunderous bombing sounds are the sounds of seawater vaporization, and the instantaneous intensity is close to explosions.
But after a little cooling, it is reduced to liquid by high pressure, so looking out from the observation window of the Trieste, you can't see any bubbles floating to the surface of the sea.
"I'm not interested in your secrets, but you're sitting in my submersible, and outside is the deep sea with a water temperature of 128 degrees Celsius and 800 atmospheres of pressure. As a prerequisite for peaceful coexistence, should you tell us your purpose?" Caesar said.
Chu Zihang quietly pressed the handle of Murasame's knife with his fingers, and the girl behind him breathed slightly.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the watertight cabin was a little tense again.
"We have to think about the hundreds of millions of people in Japan. Even if we don't think about those Japanese, we should be more careful about our lives." Caesar shrugged, "Some ambitious people have always wanted to restore the rule of the dragon clan. They think that a world ruled by dragons is better than a world ruled by humans. They are all real anti-human lunatics... How do I know you are not that kind of lunatic?"
"You are really interesting."
Jiude Mai laughed lightly, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, our boss wants me to get something from the trench."
"What? Does it mean you are going to walk outside the cabin?" Caesar was a little solemn for a while.
No one in the world has ever walked in such a deep trench. The huge pressure will turn any crazy explorer into a pile of organic matter that even his mother can't recognize.
"You may think this is unrealistic, but I have my own way." Jiude Mai let down her long hair, which was as soft as black seaweed. In this way, her temperament was faintly cold and beautiful.
"We want to see what is hatched in the abyss, a prince, a monarch, or... a god."
"If we encounter danger, we will not wait for you." Chu Zihang hesitated and said.
Jiude Mai was stunned and smiled.
"Okay." She said.
"The water temperature outside shows that it has reached 140 degrees Celsius," Chu Zihang said again, "Although the insulation layer has been installed, the temperature inside the watertight compartment has exceeded 40 degrees. If this continues, we will be killed by the heat inside." As he spoke, he took off the last T-shirt, revealing the outline of his strong and beautiful muscles.
"I already felt it." Jiude Mai wiped the sweat from her forehead and silently watched Caesar take off his clothes, exposing his naked and broad back to her sight.
"I said that you just need to take off your clothes. If you take off your pants, be careful that I will post your nude photos on the Night Watcher Forum." She threatened viciously.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the condition for joining the student union is to run naked around the winding mountain road at night. There are at least 80 people in the world who have my photos." Caesar shrugged, with a dead pig fearless of boiling water, but in the end he and Chu Zihang still didn't have the heart to take off their pants.
Several people were sweating all over, their hair was wet, like in a dry steam room in a bathhouse.
The submersible has turned on the automatic cruise mode, the propeller rotates slowly, and the Deliaste slowly cruises above the magma, maintaining its depth.
Everyone in the cabin lay on an observation port and looked around.
If you look down from above, the crack in the seabed is like an abyss burning with fire. The 15-meter-long Trieste is as small as a gnat. It glides lightly and steadily above the blazing flames, and the whole is reflected in gold.
Jiude Mai looked down at the long river of lava, with no sadness or joy on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"I think we have found something valuable..." Chu Zihang said faintly.
The temperature of the watertight compartment is clearly close to 50 degrees, but at this moment, a chill like ice suddenly rises from Caesar's heart.
What valuable things can there be in such a place, unless it is a devil!
He turned to the observation port on Chu Zihang's side and looked out. After just a moment, he let out a long sigh, which sounded like admiration and regret, an indescribable feeling.
There was a tower there, a dark iron tower.
"Oh my God, I think we found it..."
"God's kingdom, Takamagahara."
——
"I'm sorry, but this is indeed a war that no one can escape once they are involved." Yuan Zhinv held up an umbrella, and Lu Mingfei stood with him at the highest point of the mountain and looked down.
In the snow far away from the camp, there were scattered Abrams tanks that had been hit, and piles of raging fires wrapped in black smoke were burning.
Looking up, you can see that there are also several tanks that were destroyed in the distance. They look like piles of charcoal with thick smoke in the forest covered with ice and snow.
But this is the home ground of the Snake Eight Clan after all. The Abrams of the Demon Clan have been destroyed, and the remaining members are holding up military shotguns and fighting with the cadres of the Snake Eight Clan through the bunker.
Everyone in the camp was dead. The fierce ghosts had no intention of leaving anyone alive. The massacre took less than ten minutes from the beginning to the end. Lu Mingfei had no chance to rescue them.
In the distance, several tanks were rushing over the wreckage towards the camp. They were wrapped in the snow mist stirred up by the tracks. The ferocious flat front parts were exposed from time to time, as if they were evil turtles rushing out of the waves. The flashes from the muzzles of the smoothbore guns were lit from time to time, like the shining eyes of evil turtles.
The melee between low-altitude helicopters in the distance was still going on. An Apache exploded in the air not far away, and an unrecognizable black armed helicopter was shaking with leaking fuel and passing over a heavy machine standing on the side of the camp like a dead giant skeleton. It fell to the ground dozens of meters away and exploded into a ball of fire.
The tails of close-range air-to-air missiles drew parallel white lines one after another at low altitude, and explosions came one after another.
This was already a hot war no less than a small war, a modern war taking place in the mountains of the suburbs of Tokyo.
"Was the king just now his true body?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"No, his blood should be red, but the blood of the monster just now was black." Yuan Zhinv said with a smile.
He didn't seem angry, as if he had gotten used to it.
"Where have you been these days?" Lu Mingfei asked again.
"Remember Sakurai Kogure?"
"Yeah."
"I asked her to go to London. There is an old banker there who said he could help me protect her. Even if the king went there, it would be useless." Yuan Zhinv still smiled, "I went to London with her. I think this country is about to end. It's nothing for us guilty people to die here, but she is still clean."
When they say someone is clean, it means that the person is not guilty.
Sakurai Kogure doesn't look like a good kid who has never violated the law, but in the eyes of the devil, the most vicious criminal in the world is probably a pure person.
Lu Mingfei was silent.
He remembered that Yuan Zhisheng had made a similar choice in the last battle against the Snake Eight Clan a long time ago. He let Eri go to Korea for refuge, even though he knew that as a ghost girl, she would not be able to escape the fate of death even if she escaped from the country, and even though he knew that if Eri joined the war, the final victory would be in favor of the family, he still made that choice.
It seems that the brothers are really similar.
"She is willing to leave? I think the girl likes you." Lu Mingfei said.
"I told her that I would go to her in a month at most, and then I would never go back to Japan. We would go to Scotland or Ireland or hide in any corner, and no one would find us." Yuan Zhinv said, "She was very happy."
"Did you kill the crow?"
Yuan Zhinv was stunned, and his expression was gloomy.
"It was me." He said, "Or rather, it was Fengjian Liuli. My restrictions on him are being weakened, as if the evil ghost is about to break out of the cage. Sometimes I don't even know what I am doing."
Lu Mingfei nodded, knowing that Wang Jiang was playing tricks with the sound of the clapper.
There are many people in this world who are helpless, and some hatred just accumulates.
He can't control these things, he can only take care of himself.
"What is the purpose of the fierce ghosts coming here?" he asked again.
"They caught some ghost tooth dragon vipers from that well and installed many positioning devices on those vipers." Yuan Zhinv said, "These little monsters will only follow the awakened gods, and the king wants to grasp the dynamics of the gods."
