The way back was much shorter for a few people. Maybe it was because they were already familiar with the desolation on this road, or maybe it was because they no longer had expectations and speculations about the unknown, so the way back was much easier for them. .
During the fifteen-day journey, the group was freed from the constraints of supplies and could not help but speed up their pace. In just ten days, Lin Zihan and his group saw the station of the Beihuang Army. The fluttering military flags looked so impressive to a few people. kind.
"Although I don't like the Northern Wilderness Army, I have to admit that their existence has indeed protected the desert of Northern Wilderness." Xia Ming said slowly. Regarding the Northern Wilderness Army, Xia Ming felt that Like a garrison in the southern part of the domain, they drove the sub-race people away from the land where they originally lived and drove them into a poisonous area that was unsuitable for life.
"It's a pity that we don't know what is so scary about the Northern Wilderness after all!" Lin Zihan looked at the flag of the Northern Wilderness Army and said slowly, feeling vaguely uneasy and hesitant in his heart. If there really are no extremely dangerous things in the Northern Wilderness, Why would the Northern Territory spend a large amount of military expenditures to build up the Northern Wilderness Army?
If such an army were to guard something other than the stability of the empire, it would be an extremely terrifying thing, something that could subvert the imperial federation.
For Lin Zihan, the Northern Wilderness Army was a mysterious existence, a kind of existence that Lin Zihan once yearned for, but because of certain things, he lost his yearning, and even felt a little disgusted, and was disappointed with the entire Northern Territory Army.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Before he even got close to the military camp, Lin Zihan heard the sound of killing coming from the camp. In today's world where firearms and weapons are so advanced, the Northern Wasteland Army is still training ordinary soldiers in assassination combat, as if they will face the enemy face to face at any time.
"They are still training to fight now. The military technology in the Northern Territory is much more advanced than that in the Southern Territory. As the core of military technology in the Northern Territory, the Northern Wasteland Army will not be reduced to hand-to-hand combat!" Xia Ming listened to his ears. The killing sounds continued, and there were more doubts in my heart. This kind of fighting technique had long disappeared among ordinary soldiers in the Southern Territory.
"This is what an army should look like!" Lin Yafeng praised without hesitation. Lin Yafeng has always been in awe of the Northern Wilderness Army. For everyone in the Northern Territory Military Headquarters, Northern Wilderness The military is the supreme being.
"Are you back?" Bai Meng glanced at Lin Zihan and said provocatively. Although this person was the person Xuan Yu had told him about, it did not affect Bai Meng's disdain for such a killer who came from a gangster background.
"You guys were all soldiers once, and now you're following a brat!" Bai Meng's eyes swept over Lin Yafeng and Xia Ming, and then landed on Tao Xue and Fu Tu, with a look in his eyes. Disdain suddenly turned into shock.
Seeing Taoxue and Fu Tu standing behind Lin Zihan, Bai Meng seemed to understand something. It turned out that the reason why these two old guys went to Beihuang alone was because of Lin Zihan.
"Is it possible that you two still believe in Xuan Yu's lies about Star Waiter and Dragon Son?" Bai Meng looked at Tao Xue and Fu Tu with ferocious eyes. The former friendship between life and death has long since disappeared.
"If I hadn't listened to your words, how could Beihuang have suffered this disaster!" Bai Meng crossed his arms on his chest, arrogantly, blaming Taoxue and Fu Tu as if scolding a child who had done something wrong.
"We didn't know the existence of the Blood Dragon King's inheritance at that time. You shouldn't blame our original mistakes on a young man." Tao Xue stood up. He knew that Bai Meng's anger was not directed at himself, but at Lin Zihan.
"I can't defeat you! Pack up your stuff tonight and get out immediately. No idlers are allowed to stay in the Beihuang Army station!" Bai Meng left an angry word and turned around to leave. He didn't want to really break up with Tao Xue and Fu Tu. In Bai Meng's heart, he still somewhat cared about his past feelings.
"He's just like that. After so many years, he still has such a bad temper. You don't need to pay attention to him." Tao Xue said jokingly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere among several people, but found that there was no trace of white clouds on the four people's faces. And angry look.
"It's understandable. After all, a shadow sect was taken care of by a twenty-year-old young man. It really doesn't sound good when it spreads to the ears of other shadow sects and shadow hall masters." Seeing the look on Tao Xue's face, With an embarrassed look on his face, Lin Yafeng simply told Tao Xue the truth.
"Bai Meng had a conflict with us that day, and was knocked to his knees by Lin Zihan's move. Therefore, the relationship between us and senior Bai Meng may not be as... friendly as we are with you two." Lin Yafeng also said for a moment. I don't think of any suitable words to describe the relationship between the two of them, the kind of relationship that is like friends.
But if it was a matter of seniority, how could he speak like this when he stood in front of the Shadow Sect.
"Is that so? Then you young people have indeed gone too far!" Taoxue seemed to have no reaction and scolded with a slight smile, but the smile in the corner of his eyes could not be concealed.
"..." At that moment, Tao Xue's smile suddenly froze. At this moment, Tao Xue realized that Lin Zihan defeated the Shadow Sect Bai Meng with one move, the guy who was known as the King of War. How arrogant that guy was. So proud.
After Tao Xue reacted, the corner of his mouth twitched and he looked at Lin Zihan questioningly. He wanted Lin Zihan to admit in person that what Lin Yafeng said was the truth and not a lie.
"Yes!" Lin Zihan responded softly and nodded, with a faint smile on his lips. His eyes were not complacent because of Tao Xue's shocked gaze, but were extraordinarily calm and calm.
"He's simply not a human being!" This was the first time Tao Xue spoke with a ruthless tone, but there was not a single curse word in that curse word. This made Lin Zihan can only continue to smile, not knowing what to say. talk.
…
Just as Bai Meng expected, Lin Zihan simply stopped at the Beihuang Army station to rest, and then headed directly towards the Beihuang defense line. He had no intention of getting entangled with Bai Meng. After all, it was Lin Zihan who slapped Bai Meng in the face. Bai Meng should also be allowed to regain some face.
"As expected, you are waiting for me here." Before Lin Zihan walked into the gate of Beihuang Defense Line, he saw Su Yu who was already waiting at the door, with a happy smile on his lips. To Lin Zihan, Su Yu was Light in the dark night.
"Of course I do what I say, but seeing you like this, there is nothing to gain." Su Yu saw Tao Xue and Fu Tu standing behind Lin Zihan. Su Yu had also investigated the two shadow sects. I knew all their identities over the years and it was deeply engraved in my mind.
"It's true that I didn't make any big discoveries, but I saw the black tower. The black tower recorded in the chip is dark and towering into the clouds..." Lin Zihan said slowly, his expression becoming nervous. stand up.
"If the Black Tower really exists, why would my mother know, and why the immigrants from the Earth mentioned in the Seed Project..." Su Yu felt that all of this has a certain connection, and this connection may be the answer to the mystery of the Northern Wasteland. key.
"Another point is that there are no living things in the Northern Wilderness at all. Except for the snow-capped mountains, the Northern Wilderness is already barren, as if it has never given birth to life. The sandy soil is even more desolate than Simo." Lin Zihan whispered. He said, there is no Baimeng here, so the Northern Wilderness Army naturally did not drive away these people with military medals.
"Is it possible that the Hs virus spread and wiped out all living things?" Su Yu boldly guessed that no one knew the root cause of the matter in the Northern Wilderness. Even the Shadow Sect, which had lived for three to four hundred years, was only I know a little bit about it.
"There are no corpses in the barren northern wasteland. No matter how terrible the Hs virus is, it will always leave corpses." to the existence of some corpses.
"Some things should wait until we get to Lancheng. Let's go to Lancheng to recuperate for a few days before making plans." Su Yu then noticed that Wu Kexin was surprisingly quiet today. Although there was a smile on his face, it was more like He forced a smile, but his somewhat pale face was no longer as bright as before.
…
It would take about two days for military vehicles to get from the Beihuang defense line to Lancheng. Because Lin Yafeng held the highest-level pass for the Black Dragon Army in his hand, the city garrison behind the Beihuang Army specially arranged a convoy escort and did not dare to neglect at all.
Just one day later, Lin Zihan was already walking into the hotel in Lancheng, where Lin Zihan felt the joy of being a rich man. Su Yu even arranged a suite for each person, and pets were always prohibited from entering high-rise buildings. At the hotel, he also personally escorted Dingding to Lin Zihan's room for the first time.
"Dong dong~" There was a knock on the door, and Lin Zihan knew without guessing that it was Su Yu who had just checked into the hotel and took the initiative to visit. The knocks on the door were short and long, without seeming to be disrespectful. It won't appear casual. Su Yu is the only one here who can do this.
"Tell me, what have you been investigating this month in the North?" Lin Zihan invited Su Yu into the room and got straight to the point without any politeness or greetings.
"I found all the information about Y-13, that is, your twin brother, the dragon man who was sacrificed. It seems that he was not dead, or that he was not completely killed." Su Yu looked nervous and looked at him with both eyes. Looking under the table, he seemed to be deliberately avoiding Lin Zihan's gaze.
"But according to Zhang Hanjun, the wreckage of Y-13 has been brought back by them, and the exoskeleton armor has been recovered. What is in Qiu Wenjin's home is the remains of Y-13. The exoskeleton has been stripped away, and the driver has no chance of survival. Almost zero, or in other words, zero." Lin Zihan said absolutely, because for genetic people, the telencephalon core of the exoskeleton is symbiotic with itself. When the exoskeleton armor is recycled and the telencephalon is peeled off, that also means The death of the driver.
"So what I'm talking about is that he was not completely killed. He has the blood of a dragon like you. The blood of the Blood Dragon King may allow him to regenerate, or he may not die." Su Yu expressed his guess, and Put the information you collected on the table.
"These are the evidences I collected. Whether you believe it or not, he is really alive." Su Yu looked at Lin Zihan seriously, a firm look suddenly burst out in his eyes.
