On the path leading to Mount Tai.
Zhang Shouquan and more than a dozen members of the Xunxun Bureau walked calmly.
He looked at the long mountain road ahead and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
A few months ago, faced with the unknown truth, faced with that giant beast.
The top management felt an unprecedented shock, and their world view was impacted.
Therefore, Zhang Shouquan, who was about to retire from the front line and enjoy life, was entrusted with the important task of serving as the director of the Xunxun Bureau. His subordinates gathered a large amount of resources and elites just to figure out the mysterious extraordinary organization that has been hidden behind human history.
But for such a long time, no results have been obtained in the face of investigations across China.
After all, they have no clue.
We can only launch a series of high-intensity investigations on the grounds of strengthening anti-feudalism to follow up on any incidents that may involve extraordinary forces.
However, the result was obviously nothing.
Except for the axe-cut valley and the giant beast, they seemed to be unable to find any trace of Yongzhi's existence. They only found a bunch of swindlers.
It seems that everything was just a dream, an unattainable dream.
However, Zhang Shouquan knew it was not a dream.
He had seen the jade with his own eyes.
The words "Yong Zhou sealed the monster here in the first year of Xuande" are engraved on it, and the strange symbols can be inexplicably understood.
This evidence is still retained by the Day Search Bureau.
Whenever the work of the Day Searching Bureau fell into a dead end without any meaning, he would take another look at the jade stone to stimulate his fighting spirit.
Now, he has come to Mount Tai with a team composed of special forces members, history experts, ancient writing scholars and other talents.
Mount Tai, also known as Daishan, Daizong, Daiyue, Dongyue and Taiyue, is one of the five mountains and is known as "the first of the five mountains" and "the first mountain in the world".
Mount Tai has been associated with five thousand years of Chinese civilization heritage. It is a symbol of national prosperity and national survival. It carries rich geographical, historical and cultural connotations. It was regarded by the ancients as a paradise "directly connected to the throne of the emperor" and became worshiped by the people. There is a saying that "if Mount Tai is safe, all the world will be safe".
Zhang Shouquan believes that if there really was such a mysterious and extraordinary organization hidden behind human history in the history of China and the world.
Then maybe we can find some clues in Mount Tai, a place that has so much special meaning.
The expert team of the Zhouxun Bureau, with the green light from the country, has shifted the organization's research focus to the study of cultural relics and ancient books related to Mount Tai.
As for him, he personally led the team to conduct on-site inspections on Mount Tai.
If there is still no harvest from this trip to Mount Tai, then this day-hunting bureau, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, will definitely not be easy.
The state cannot always provide resources for Xunxun Bureau to perform as it wants. After all, it is unwise to invest too much energy in an area where there is no direction.
With so many resources, even if they are just a splash, they should be able to make a difference.
It's not that the top management doesn't have a long-term vision, but that the existence of the Xunzhou Bureau consumes too many resources. The bloated authority and resources cannot come out of thin air, and will naturally squeeze the needs of other aspects.
Even if the Xunzhou Bureau is not banned in the future because of the existence of giant beasts and jade as ironclad evidence, the Xunzhou Bureau's daily funding and authority will still have to be controlled. The reduction of authority and resources is almost visible to the naked eye.
I’m not saying it should be reduced to a very bad level, but it should be reduced to a greater or lesser extent.
Before realizing the ultimate perfect social form, such dispersion of power is inevitable.
Thinking about it, Zhang Shouquan's calm expression gradually became serious.
If you can't achieve results now, you may not be able to achieve results in the future.
He fell silent.
Seeing the accompanying team carefully examining the surrounding plants and trees, Zhang Shouquan thought about how he would find Yong Zhou in the future.
If he didn't want to know about such an extraordinary organization that had been hidden for who knows how many years, maybe he really couldn't continue to investigate...
"boom!"
A loud noise suddenly interrupted Zhang Shouquan's thinking.
Then there was a shaking that suddenly started and stopped.
He looked in horror.
There was nothing strange about anything around him, and he had no idea what was happening in the distance.
However, a feeling of sadness couldn't help but surge into his heart.
This made him feel a little dazed.
This kind of sadness is indescribable, as if I felt that something important once existed, but now it has disappeared.
A wet feeling spread across my cheeks.
Zhang Shouquan stretched out his hand to touch it in a daze, tears streaming down his face.
I don’t know when I shed tears.
The silence didn't last long, and Zhang Shouquan tried his best to recover from his sadness.
Looking around, the members accompanying him were all stunned in place, immersed in the same indescribable infinite sadness as he was just now, and tears were also flowing on their cheeks.
Zhang Shouquan's eyes flashed with horror, but also with a hint of excitement.
This is undoubtedly extraordinary power!
After waking up a companion and letting him continue to wake up others, Zhang Shouquan immediately turned on the communication device and began to use the authority of the Xunxun Bureau.
Numerous monitoring agencies began to mobilize the monitoring data on the hydrology, geology and other aspects of Mount Tai in response to Zhang Shouquan's order.
Two high-precision satellites were also mobilized to monitor the movements of Mount Tai in real time.
The nearest troops and long-range fire support in the surrounding area were on standby to prevent the recurrence of behemoths like those in the Shu mountains that day.
As for tourists from Taishan, they have been turned away by the Xunzhou Bureau for the reason of temporarily closing the external business of the Taishan tourist attraction before the entrance investigation.
The few remaining Taishan Scenic Area staff were also arranged to evacuate and sign confidentiality agreements by Zhang Shouquan's phone calls just now.
Sitting on the mountain road, Zhang Shouquan waited for the news with anxious eyes.
He was currently just staying on the mountain road, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with the loud noise, the shock, and the inexplicable sadness.
There is nothing strange about the scene within my limited gaze.
He needs more support.
Soon, Zhang Shouquan's device gradually received summary messages.
Extremely abnormal seismic fluctuations spread around a place 20 kilometers north of him, covering an area of approximately 50 kilometers in radius.
Why is this kind of earthquake fluctuation extremely abnormal?
Because the source depth of normal earthquake fluctuations is generally not low, but this Taishan earthquake is no longer shallow enough to describe. With a depth of only a few kilometers, it can almost be said that the source of the earthquake is on the surface.
We must know that earthquakes are caused by the movement of crustal plates. Who knows that the movement of crustal plates occurs so superficially.
In addition, the people who were inexplicably sad and crying were consistent with the range covered by this surface earthquake. Beyond the range, there was nothing unusual.
In the satellite monitoring picture, a huge gap was revealed at the center of the earthquake source 20 kilometers north of him.
It was an invisible abyss, tearing a dark hole in the earth.
Moreover, this gap is still widening.
The land and trees seemed to be being swallowed by a bottomless black hole.
The colorful ground was continuously torn apart by a pure black hole, and black gradually filled up large tracts of land.
Just looking at the expanding black hole, Zhang Shouquan felt waves of shuddering and fear.
What is this?
What will happen if it continues to expand? !
Keep devouring everything in sight?
Countless questions popped up all at once.
The darkness that seemed to swallow up the world occupied Zhang Shouquan's entire field of vision.
Swallowing, Zhang Shouquan tried to calm down.
Fortunately, all Zhang Shouquan saw was a picture. He quickly relied on his years of experience and state of mind to control himself and calm down.
At this moment, it was no longer a problem that he could solve alone. He waited silently for the helicopter to pick up his group.
With the country's extremely fast reaction speed and relying on the troops he mobilized before, preliminary preparations should have been made.
…
Aiming at the ever-expanding black cracks in Mount Tai.
A series of orders are continuously issued from the top.
The professional team immediately began to discuss whether surrounding cities needed to be evacuated. This is undoubtedly an extremely serious issue that requires a lot of discussion and does not tolerate any carelessness or sloppiness.
The surrounding troops on standby have entered a state of combat readiness, ready to deal with various possibilities at any time.
When all the surrounding civilians had been transferred away by Zhang Shouquan's previous order, the army pulled up cordons facing the black cracks, surrounding the expanding black cracks in the middle.
The professional exploration team also began to prepare fully armed. In addition to the necessary weapons, they also brought various equipment for detecting a series of data such as magnetic fields, electromagnetic waves, sound waves, and soil.
When Zhang Shouquan arrived at the temporary command post around Mount Tai, in addition to the military leaders he had mobilized before, there were already many senior officials gathered on the big screen.
They are intensely discussing how to deal with this emergency online.
"Currently, this black crack will swallow up everything around it. As it expands, everything around it will be sucked directly in. We must consider the evacuation of the people in the surrounding cities."
"The evacuation work is very important. How many people are you planning to evacuate? Millions of people around you? Or more?! Do you know what this means?!"
"Otherwise? According to satellite calculations, the current spreading speed of the black crack is 1 meter per second. This speed is definitely not slow. If people in the surrounding cities do not evacuate, will they have to wait to die?"
"That's not what they said. It's not that we won't withdraw, but that we really cannot rush the withdrawal. This affects millions, tens of millions or even more people."
Listening to the discussion between the expert team and various senior officials, Zhang Shouquan just stared silently at the satellite monitoring picture on another large screen.
The extraordinary appears again.
But this time, it seems to be more difficult than the original giant beast.
The frightening black crack did not stop because of their quarrel.
The posture that seems to be able to swallow everything makes people dare not face it directly.
This reminded him of his past, when he swore an oath under the national flag to protect the lights of thousands of families, only to be scolded by his master not to change his oath.
I have been working hard to realize the dream I once had.
But now, looking at this hole that seems to be expanding and swallowing everything.
He vaguely understood.
The lights of thousands of families that I want to protect.
Maybe it will never light up again.
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Shouquan suddenly said: "Now we should consider more than just evacuation."
He raised his head, his eyes flashing with unprecedented seriousness and seriousness.
The people around him temporarily stopped arguing because of his louder words.
Everyone is waiting for his speech.
"If we keep withdrawing, we will never reach the end. We must figure out what this black crack is."
Zhang Shouquan said seriously.
Just running away is useless.
"The investigation team is already preparing."
The senior management on the screen said this to Zhang Shouquan.
The higher-ups are not brainless. They are just making evacuation-related preparations and plans while investigating and responding.
They also know that just running away is useless.
It’s just that you definitely can’t bomb the crack with firepower directly. You definitely need to try to conduct small-scale trial and error and investigation first.
Try to figure out the nature of that thing.
"I also need to go."
Zhang Shouquan's eyes were serious, filled with nothing but endless determination.
The senior executive on the screen wanted to say something, but then paused.
He can be said to be the master who introduced Zhang Shouquan.
From a small clerk all the way to the important person in charge of national security.
He knew Zhang Shouquan's countless life and death experiences, and also understood his determination when he joined the country to protect the lights of thousands of families.
At the same time, he also understood the guy who was called the spy chief by the outside world. It won't hold anything back, and may be the biggest boost to the investigation.
This made him want to say something less.
"Zhang Shouquan, just like you did before, do everything perfectly."
The senior executive on the screen said so.
This is an order.
Ask him to do everything well and come back alive.
Hearing this, the only answer he received was Zhang Shouquan's standard salute and his back that left without hesitation.
Looking at that figure from behind, the senior management vaguely recalled the oath taken under the national flag that day.
I still remember that this guy was like this at the beginning. He firmly insisted on his goals and never wavered.
I corrected him on his oath, but what I got was an unconvinced figure who turned away and walked away.
This kid has his own persistence and is a stubborn donkey that cannot pull back ten carts.
This is a choice he has no regrets about.
There was silence in the command room.
Although he soon returned to his busy state and continued to discuss various matters.
But this time, the solemnity on their faces was even heavier.
All those present in the command team composed of high-level military and day-hunting bureau leaders could not help but have a thought in their minds:
If there is everlasting day...
Maybe we can save mankind again in this seemingly difficult incident just like we made the giant beasts disappear before.
They once expected to find the eternal day recorded in the jade in order to prevent national security from being threatened by such a hidden existence.
But now, they are looking forward to the coming of eternal day.
Looking forward to eternal salvation.
Some readers in the previous article said that Doumu is inferior to Xi. I dare not say that I know too much about mythology, so I changed the previous article. Now, instead of Xi He advancing to Dou Mu, Xi He merged with Dou Mu and became the Lord of the Stars.
