Chapter 1173 Gate of the North (please vote for two chapters)

Mountains north of Mingte

"Chief, don't we wait for the people behind us?"

Under the fading twilight, the young man in exoskeleton armor standing behind the man in the leather jacket raised his head, climbed up the hillside with difficulty, and asked in a low voice.

"They are responsible for maintaining contact with Minter City, and we are going to explore the road,"

The man in the leather jacket stood near the top of the hillside, raised his eyes and looked forward, "The one in Mingte City hopes that the information will be as timely as possible. This is our first time to cooperate. We can't let others think that we are unreliable. We extraordinary people will bring Exoskeleton armor is perfect for a reconnaissance team. "

"oh."

The young man nodded, and his footsteps finally caught up with the man in the leather jacket and arrived at the man in the leather jacket.

He looked back and saw the diffuse pure white snow covering the sloping mountains.

Behind him, there were three more people climbing up slowly.

Not far from everyone's side, there was a winding and spreading old-fashioned road.

This kind of road has solar-powered snow melting devices buried on it from time to time. Although there is still snow on it, the shape of the road can barely be distinguished in the diffuse snowfield.

These roads wind up the hillside, like a long twisted snake, connecting the ground and the top of the mountain.

The young man estimated that the hillside must be at least four to five hundred meters high and somewhat steep.

However, in reality, this hillside is not very high, because there are high mountain cliffs on both sides of the hillside. Looking up, there is only a not-so-wide triangle left in the sky.

This ‘hillside’ is actually sandwiched in a ‘flare mouth canyon’ that is larger at one end and narrower at the other.

The narrow mouth of the horn is the top of the hillside, where the young man is standing. It is only a dozen meters wide, and there is a long road next to the young man.

On both sides of the top of this hillside, there are also almost vertical towering cliffs, with only a few old trees with particularly tenacious vitality hanging on the cliffs.

From a distance, it looks like a huge narrow door made of cliffs.

"Is this the 'Gate to the North'?"

A woman with short brown hair and a hot figure also climbed up at this moment, stood next to the man in the leather jacket, and asked softly.

"Um,"

The man in the leather jacket nodded slightly, "Strictly speaking, it's called Woley Canyon."

"Why is it called the Gate to the North?"

The young man on the side was a little confused.

"promise."

The brown-haired woman pursed her lips, gesturing for the young man to climb a little higher.

The young man took a few steps forward and reached the top of the hillside.

Then, a vast plain covered with ice and snow appeared in his field of vision.

A round sun was setting from the west, dyeing the entire ice and snow field with a magnificent color.

"The mountains to the north of the city of Minter, together with the Sventers Mountains to the east, act like a towering wall, dividing the northeastern part of the federation from the rest of the east."

The brown-haired woman walked to the young man's side and said slowly, "So these two mountain ranges are also called the Wall of the North, and the Woley Canyon where we are now is the only 'passage' for this 'wall'.

"All supplies from the northeastern part of the federation to the south, and from the south to the northeastern part of the federation, if you don't want to take a big circle in the central region, you can only go through this canyon, and through this canyon, we have reached the real of the Federal North.”

Listening to her words, the young man raised his head and looked to both sides, as if he wanted to see what the mountains of the 'Wall of the North' looked like.

Then, he saw an almost vertical steep cliff extending to the end of his field of vision.

This steep cliff spreads from west to east, from the end of the sky to the end of the sky, and only opened a crack at their location.

Like a real city wall.

The young man looked down.

A steep 'slope' appeared in his field of vision.

If the slope they just came up had an inclination of 30 degrees, the inclination of this slope is probably 60 or 70 degrees, or even higher, and the vertical height difference is much larger than the slope they just came up from.

The road up this slope can no longer be said to be twisted like a snake, but is constantly bending and spiraling upward, like a huge spring.

"The slope is so steep,"

The young man glanced down at the hillside, and then glanced again at the vertical cliffs on both sides that seemed to be thousands of meters high. "These cliffs are so regular, just like a real city wall."

"It is said that this cliff stretches for hundreds of kilometers from east to west."

The brown-haired woman answered.

"So long?"

The young man's eyes widened, "Is this really natural?"

"have no idea,"

The brown-haired woman shook her head, "This should be something that the scholars in the city study."

Then she seemed to remember something and whispered, "But I heard another thing."

She pointed to the cliffs on both sides of their current location, "Do you see the orderliness of the cliffs on both sides of this 'Gate to the North'?"

The young man looked up and saw that the cliffs on both sides were also unusually vertical, reaching straight into the sky, forming a thin line from the sky. He nodded and sighed, "It's regular, as if it was struck by an axe. "

"I heard,"

The brown-haired woman said slowly, "In the era of cataclysm, there was no such canyon."

"ah?"

The young man was slightly startled, "You mean, this canyon was really carved out by someone?"

"have no idea,"

The brown-haired woman shook her head, "I just heard that this kind of thing is somewhat sensational, and it doesn't seem like something humans can do. Besides,"

She also looked up at the canyons on both sides and continued, "This canyon is too 'safe'."

"ah?"

The young man was confused again.

"She is saying that the mountains to the north of Mingte City are full of dangerous beasts, and there is even unspeakable pollution deep in the forest,"

At this time, the man in the leather jacket also walked up to the two of them and said slowly, "But this canyon is located in the middle of the mountain range, but it is extremely calm and safe. Even ordinary people can pass between the canyons normally."

He glanced at the dazed young man, then looked at the brown-haired woman, "Okay, stop spreading your gossip."

He looked at the young man and said slowly, "Although this place is called the 'Gate of the North', it is not the only passage connecting the north and the south in the eastern part of the Federation. On the east coast, there is also a coastal plain that can be passed, but that The storm sea on the side is often out of control and is much more dangerous, and can only allow a small number of vehicles to pass.

"As for how these canyons and cliffs were formed, that is not something we consider. If you are interested, you can go to the city to check the information. Don't listen to these false rumors here."

After hearing his words, the young man nodded in understanding.

"Chief, have you heard this?"

The brown-haired woman rolled her eyes, "Many times, the truth often exists in the form of rumors."

"Rumors are everywhere, and it's normal to have one or two truths mixed in, but that doesn't mean all rumors are true,"

The man in the leather jacket looked at the snowy field ahead and stretched out his hand, "Who has that ultra-high-power telescope? Give it to me."

"Here I am."

A person from behind said, and then handed over the binoculars.

The man in the leather jacket picked up the telescope and looked at the vast snowfield.

His vision continued to rotate, and then, his movements paused slightly and locked onto an area that seemed to be far away.

His expression gradually darkened.

"What's wrong?"

The brown-haired woman asked doubtfully.

"Let's move forward and put away the flying armor,"

The man in the leather jacket put away the telescope, his face was as dark as water, and he said quickly, "It's bad news, but we have to get closer to confirm."

Mint City·FBI

He Ao flipped through the information he had just printed in his hand.

This is the information Thorin sent him about the cult ruins on the west side of Limen City.

His eyes fell on the mark estimated to be 'more than thirty years ago'.

More than thirty years ago, Sauter lost his parents when he was a teenager.

The last route that Sauter's mother's caravan took was from Rimen City to Konovi City, which is just west of Rimen City.

It was on this route that the entire caravan disappeared.

This is why He Ao’s first reaction when he heard ‘cult ruins’ was to ask in which direction it was.

This abandoned cult site happens to be near the commercial road from Limen City to Konovi City.

There is strong contamination inside this site, and the FBI has not sent anyone to go deep into it. It is currently only in the blockade stage.

He Ao looked through the photos of the peripheral area of ​​the ruins and found no items suspected to be left by the caravan.

But he saw many incomplete symbols.

The FBI in Limen City is applying for database permissions from the headquarters, trying to see if there is corresponding data for these symbols in the FBI's database.

Normally, the FBI is very cautious about information about evil gods.

This application process takes about half a month.

But for He Ao, this is not a big deal.

As the deputy chief of staff of the FBI and the deputy chief of staff responsible for fielding the evil god incident, 'Saut' has the authority to access all the evil god information of the FBI.

A lot of the information in it was written by 'Saote'.

He Ao opened the FBI intranet and logged in to his account.

The first thing that pops up is a ‘Permissions Restricted’ notification.

He Ao has actually seen this notice.

To put it simply, He Ao originally served as deputy chief of staff and performed the task of investigating the evil god. To a certain extent, he could directly request the FBI in nearby areas to cooperate with the investigation, and even command some nearby FBI branches to assist in the work.

In other words, he can force the FBI in nearby cities to cooperate with him in the name of investigating the evil god.

Now, his permission is banned.

In fact, it was banned yesterday.

Irons did not respond to his report but disabled his access.

However, only the power to mobilize people is prohibited, and the access rights to the database are not prohibited.

He raised his hand, picked up a notebook and a pen next to him, and began to draw.

The symbolic information of that ‘site’ is not complete.

There were only some incomplete symbols that looked like arcs. He Ao tried to supplement these symbols based on his own knowledge of occult science.

While he was drawing symbols, he was taking pictures with his wristband, and he was doing image searches on the FBI intranet.

The search results were all invalid information, and some intelligence was found, but after detailed comparison, it seemed to have nothing to do with this ruins.

He continued to draw more than a dozen symbols until the seventeenth symbol. He Ao couldn't think of any more, so he drew a symbol with three concentric circles nested together along the arc, and then took a photo and searched. .

This time, a message popped up:

‘Starry Sky Worshipers’: A secret organization that believes in the evil god called ‘Lord of the Starry Sky’.
