"China's speed? Are you referring to high-speed rail? Oh no...in this case, you should be referring to air transportation?"
Guderian asked with some confusion, "Please... now seems like this is not the time to make such a joke, right? Time, we only have less than half an hour left! The one who left here just now can get there faster. It’s too late to dive down and save people, right?”
"No... didn't he just say that there was a fleet of people guarding the river bank? Maybe they have sent people down to respond?" Susie recovered from her surprise, "We should contact Monyah first Let them check with the fleet over there."
"So what if it's confirmed?" Professor Schneider on the other side of the screen shook his head solemnly. The key to the problem was not this, it was the palace of a dragon king! If you have never experienced it, you have no idea how dangerous it is! This is not a question of numbers at all, so what about a fleet of people? Our deployment on the Monyach is no less than a fleet. The key to the problem is that Ye Sheng and Yaji are trapped in the Dragon King's palace! We did not choose to send people to support because the risks involved were too great. "
"The Ice Sea Fragments..."
Professor Guderian seemed to understand something when he heard this, and nodded solemnly.
"Yes, this is an incident that happened ten years ago. It is one of the most confidential documents of the academy. I will not explain the specific content..." Schneider's tone was unusually heavy. "But the marks on my face are It was left behind at that time.”
After saying that, he took off his mask for the first time in a long time and looked at the ferocious face with exposed bones. Even through the screen, Lu Mingfei and others took a deep breath.
"Because of a wrong judgment, the investigation team sent was almost wiped out. In front of the dragons, our strength is too small. This cannot be compensated by the number of people. Not sending people to search and rescue is not because we are unwilling but I don’t dare. As you probably know about the current situation, the ruins where Ye Sheng and Yaji are located is a living city, belonging to the King of Bronze and Fire, one of the four legendary monarchs! No one knows what is hidden underneath. In a crisis, we can’t risk the entire investigation team just because of the two of them.”
"It's a very rational and wise judgment. If I were you... I would probably make the same choice."
Zhang Chulan smoked a cigarette and nodded slightly, seeming a little emotional, "But this is just my judgment from your standpoint."
"So... what is your countermeasure?" Schneider asked with a slight frown.
"Countermeasures?"
Zhang Chulan smiled helplessly, "Professor, you just said that in the face of such a powerful force, our power is too small. The Monyach you sent is also a fleet deployment, and it is placed with us on the river bank. There is not much difference in terms of strength. Now that you have judged that such combat power is incapable of facing what we are facing at this moment, how good a countermeasure can we have?"
"Then why did he..."
Chu Zihang frowned slightly and looked at the collapsed window edge.
Could it be that...this man really has the power to turn the tide?
But with his thinking, he couldn't think of a way to save Ye Sheng and Ya Ji.
Just as Mr. Schneider said just now, their college did not dare to send people to support because they were worried, and the things that made them worried... were naturally things that might be hidden in this palace. ….
This is the palace of the Dragon King. Since the whole city has come to life, is its former owner sleeping there? Has the master woke up yet? All of this is unknown, and they can't afford that kind of risk.
"'Even if you can't bear the risk, you must still try to save people. I will bear all the consequences.' These are the exact words of my minister." Zhang Chulan repeated with emotion, "I think this is probably the relationship between our execution department and The difference between you is, 'You are a college, and we... are the guardians of this land. Among the people you send down are our children. In this peaceful era, the people who return home should be greeted with lanterns and firecrackers. Instead of being buried at the bottom of the river."
"So... is this the reason why you go all out? Even if you pay a higher price for it?"
Professor Schneider's eyes became much softer, even with a
A little awe.
There is nothing wrong with both choices, it's just the difference between courage and reason.
They may not do it, but they are not qualified to say that it is wrong for this group of people to do it. As the college, they have the need to ensure the safety of other students and employees, so they have reason to choose to retreat, but as Zhang Chulan said, these people are all "guardians," and it is their responsibility to protect this land and the people who belong here. With obligations, this is a sacred and solemn mission, and he is not qualified to evaluate it at all.
"My dear allies, I'm sorry for our previous rudeness. You are a brave and honorable group of people."
"No." Zhang Chulan waved her hands quickly, "Don't say this to me. Let's keep it to welcome the returning warriors. You and I are actually the same kind of people. Just like what I just said... If I were You and I will probably make the same judgment. It's just that I have more choices where I am now. And in fact, we don't plan to pay any greater price. Your worries... I think are unnecessary. "
"How to say?"
"Because the only one who actually carried out the rescue mission this time was my eldest brother...oh, the one who just left here. He was alone."
Zhang Chulan pointed in the direction of the window, "But don't worry, my eldest brother always does what he says. The people he says he wants to save will probably not be able to be taken away by the King of Hell when he comes."
"Is he alone?"
Schneider's pupils shrank when he heard this, "How...is it possible!?"
You want to say that the fleet over there has already started to take action, and that kid just rushed over to support him. He can still figure it out, but that kid is the only one who performs the task?
He racked his brains and couldn't figure out how to implement the rescue plan.
As he has said many times, even if you rush to the scene as quickly as possible, it will be too late to save people by the time you change your equipment and dive for rescue.
On the one hand, it's because Ye Sheng and Ya Ji don't have enough oxygen, on the other hand...it's unknown whether they can escape from the Bronze City smoothly and the dangers lurking in the Bronze City.
So why can the kid in front of me be so confident that that guy can definitely save people?
"Nothing is impossible. I'll give you a suggestion. It's best not to speculate on him with ordinary people's thinking. After all, you have also seen it..." Zhang Chulan's tone became a little embarrassed, "My eldest brother, when he takes it seriously... he is not at all. people."….
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, looked at the place where the window had been trampled, and then recalled the scene when the man left just now, and suddenly felt ashamed.
"indeed……"
············
Underwater, in the Bronze City.
In the fierce water flow, Ye Sheng held Shutoku Aki's hand and kept moving upwards. The agency doors behind them closed one after another, and there was no way out wherever they passed.
"Ye Sheng! Shouldn't we escape down below!?"
Shutoku Aki looked back at the blocked road and felt confused, but she believed that the man in front of her would not harm her, so she continued to follow him without resisting.
And now the map is only in Ye Sheng's mind. Maybe there are some changes in the route?
If they escape upward, their oxygen may really be enough.
"Believe me!"
Ye Sheng did not explain, but kept pulling Ya Ji towards the top of the palace.
At this moment, in order to reach the top before the Bronze City blocked all roads, he even turned on the oxygen supply to maximize speed.
There was no exit up there, he knew that.
But going down is a dead end!
There was a voice telling him just now that they had taken the most important thing in the city, thus allowing some kind of being to wake up, and that guy would block their only way to survive.
Yes, they did take things here. After all, they were here to investigate the ruins, and of course they had to bring back something valuable.
At this moment, he and Aki were carrying something suspected to be a bone bottle and a box respectively. He judged that these two things were from the city.
The most valuable thing.
He didn't know how the person he was talking to knew this, but it only made him more convinced that the other person wasn't playing a trick on him.
There is no need to play tricks on a person who can guess their actions, and this person is still from his motherland.
Yes, the other party claimed to be a specialist in the execution department of a domestic company. At this moment, the fleet on the river was transmitting information to him through the same voice as him.
There seemed to be someone in the company who knew this Bronze City very well, and the other party came up with a plan that, if successful, could lead him and Aki out of danger.
To be honest, Ye Sheng didn't know what the plan was, but now he could only choose to believe it.
Because what the other party said was not wrong, there is indeed a big guy below below, waiting for him and Aki to fall into the trap.
He did have doubts at first, but after being reminded, he sent Snake to explore the way ahead and never returned.
There is no doubt that there is a dead end below.
All he can do is believe in 'the company' and that what the people here say is true.
On the water, the Monyach.
At this moment, the front cabin was already in a mess.
Through the monitor, Mansi discovered that Ye Sheng and Shu De Aki were heading in the opposite direction to the exit.
"Damn it! What's going on!? Ye Sheng! What happened down there!?"
he asked with an angry growl.
But no one responded to him. In order to save physical exertion, Ye Sheng had already withdrawn the word spirit that contacted the Monyach. ….
"No! Professor!"
Selma on the side suddenly shouted, as the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone, which is probably the current situation.
What everyone feared most happened.
"what's the situation!?"
"The radar detected a huge life reaction below! I'm afraid it's... a... dragon!"
"!!!"
Mance's pupils suddenly contracted.
This is something they subconsciously want to ignore.
The city below is probably the palace of the Dragon King, and it is almost certain that a dragon is sleeping inside.
But they are unwilling to face this. After all, if a dragon really wakes up, then Ye Sheng and Shu De Aki below will be almost dead.
"hateful!"
An angry roar echoed throughout the front cabin.
But after the roar, Mance quickly calmed down and his expression became extremely gloomy.
"Can you confirm what level it is?"
"It's very big. Preliminary judgment is that it's at least the third generation! I'm not sure...it's very likely to be more dangerous!"
Thelma answered with a cold sweat on her face.
Dragons cannot judge size based on volume alone, and being so far apart they can only think in the worse direction.
Maybe it's the next generation, or even the Dragon King who has just recovered and is in a weak state.
But no matter which situation it is, it is fatal to Ye Sheng and Yaji who are in the Bronze City.
"Everyone, prepare and confirm the status of the weapons on the ship! We - slay the dragon!"
Mance was silent for a moment and then roared angrily.
Yes, they are a group of dragon slayers, and that's their job.
At this point, the rescue is meaningless. Of course, what they have to do is to avenge their lost companions!
The only thing he was worried about at the moment was whether the weapons on the ship were enough to deal with the resurrected dragon.
Because this is a country, the weapons they can carry are limited. If they are third-generation species, they may be able to deal with it, but if they are higher-level beings...
"drop--"
The whistle sounded on the river.
This made Mance wake up instantly.
Yes, this is China.
He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the whistle. It was a warship heading towards the Monyach.
near.
Since they can detect life reactions below, they can definitely detect them over there too.
At this moment, Mance suddenly remembered that they did not seem to be fighting alone. Facing this situation, fellow humans should unite as one. If you add the firepower on this ship, it should be enough.
Thinking of this, Mance felt a little regretful. His thoughts were so confused just now that he made many stupid mistakes, whether it was the calculation of oxygen or the orders he issued! Why couldn't I think of such an important thing? If I had requested support sooner...
"Captain! The ships here in China have sent a signal, and their commanders are requesting boarding!"
"What?"
Mance frowned slightly when he heard this.
In a situation like this, shouldn't everyone prepare for war in a tacit understanding? What do the commanders over there want to do here? Sit down and drink tea and chat! ? This is the critical moment to prepare to slay the dragon!
············
Underwater, Bronze City.
Along with the movement of the city, the copper door of a certain room slowly opened.
Dong-dong-dong-dong——
Ye Sheng and Shude Aki, who were escaping upward, suddenly felt their hearts tremble.
They heard the sound they least expected to hear.
It was a sound like a war drum from ancient times, heavy and powerful. Following the water waves, they could even feel the terrifying power contained in each other's beating heart.
The room lit up with gold, and the vertical pupils like lanterns illuminated the dim room covered by someone.
The thunderous heartbeat quickened the rhythm, and the originally calm water around him began to stir. Along with the roar of a dragon that penetrated the entire bottom of the river and reached the sky, everyone knew that He had woken up.
Get moving
