Chapter 361: Joints
This kind of thing that has been rare for decades was encountered by Wang Lan. But remembering that he had even encountered the matter of the space-time gem opening the door to the demon world, it would not be a big deal to encounter an asteroid impact again.
Both the Volunteer Regiment and the Black Tiger Army returned to the camp to recuperate, successfully closing the two Xenodimensional Dimensions, which should be an unprecedented victory for the Ice and Snow Country. But this victory did not make the whole people of the land of ice and snow revel.
Two of them are closed, and there are still three, unless all five different dimensions are closed, even one of them can easily destroy the already shattered Ice and Snow Country.
At the Palace of the Ice King, His Majesty Kane urged the Minister of Foreign Affairs over and over again to send a message to the International Security Committee to inquire about the asteroid's movements. While constantly taking out a handkerchief to wipe his sweaty forehead.
It's so hard! It's so hard to survive.
After twelve years of lingering under the fangs and claws of the beast, and finally waiting for the dawn, before he could rejoice, an asteroid descended on the head of the land of ice and snow like a call from death.
Although the chance of an asteroid falling down is only 10 percent, even if it does, the chance of hitting the country of ice and snow is only 1 in 10,000. But what if?
In case of this word, Kane has been tormented for twelve years.
Back then, he also thought that the Land of Ice and Snow would not open the alien dimension, but it was still opened. At that time, Kane also thought that even if the Ice and Snow Country opened another dimension, there would be at most one. But in the end, there were six in a row.
Even if he didn't want to believe it, Kane always felt that the Ice and Snow Country must have been cursed by the gods all these years. Otherwise, why would bad luck that no other country can encounter happen in the country of ice and snow one after another?
"Bang-" The door to the office was suddenly pushed open, and a hurried-looking Prince Cather strode into Kane's office.
"Big brother, what are you doing? The two different dimensions are closed, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and close the remaining three spaces, what radio are you still listening to here? Don't you see that the people of the Jade Kingdom have already returned to the camp to rest?"
"I saw it, but don't you know there's an asteroid above us, Cather?"
"My God, there's only a 1 in 1 million chance, what are you worried about? Instead of worrying about asteroids falling from the sky, you should be worried that all the alien beasts in the alien space will suddenly rush out. Big brother, you go and urge the people of the Jade Country, the remaining No. 134 Xenodimensional Space can be done in a week, and our country will be reborn from the ashes. ”
"The stones in the sky are not the key issue, the biggest question is ...... There is no money. Kane spread his hands with a bitter face, "Just now the Minister of Finance came to me and told me that the recruitment of mercenaries this time has spent all his savings, and the treasury has less than 100,000 left. ”
"Out of money?"
"No money! After coming out this time, all the 1,000 mercenaries who survived chose to leave, and we must immediately hire a group of mercenaries, but we can't even afford to pay one person for a day. If you simply rely on the volunteer group of the Jade Country...... Successfully closing three spaces is unlikely. The node in Space Two wasn't discovered by the mercenary?"
"What about loans?"
"Most international banks are reluctant to lend to us, just now I borrowed 100 million green coins from Citibank in the White Eagle Country, but it was pledged by the energy mines in the Kerwit region. ”
"They're robbing! Damn, can't they take out a loan from the Jade Kingdom?"
"There are no international banks in Yuguo, and the loan cycle is very long. The White Eagle Country's bank can be credited within seventy-two hours. So that we can continue to recruit mercenaries. And this time the price may have to rise to ten jade coins a day. ”
"You signed the contract?" asked Cather, staring at Kane with a bloodthirsty demon in his eyes.
"Not yet, their fax came in quickly. ”
"Don't sign it!" said Cather, with words that seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.
"If we don't sign it, where will we get the money? What will we use to hire a star warrior?"
That is the last hope for the revival of the Land of Ice and Snow, you have to sign it, and the Land of Ice and Snow will have no hope of turning over in the next hundred years. A hundred years from now, all that may be left is a mess. Don't sign it, the land of ice and snow is left to us by our ancestors, and it can't be destroyed in our hands. ”
Faced with such a questioning sip from Cather, Kane's face suddenly became gloomy.
With a bang, he slapped the case violently, "If we can't even pass next year, what will we talk about a hundred years later? If we don't sign, if we don't sign, where will we get the money?"
"I'll figure it out!" Cather said coldly, giving Kane a deep look and turning away.
By noon, the International Astronomical Observatory gave authoritative results, and in the next three hours, the asteroid would enter the gravitational see-saw magnetic field of Azure Star and the Moon, and in the magnetic field, it would be crushed into powder by the gravitational force of both sides.
As soon as this result came out, not only the land of ice and snow, but also the whole world breathed a sigh of relief. An asteroid impact would be very tense if it didn't land on their soil. Who knows what will be triggered next?
In particular, the Arctic Ocean region has a long line of volcanic activity. The land of ice and snow is located on this volcanic continuous line and the four seasons are like spring, creating this strange and beautiful country.
The asteroid crisis is over, but there are at least three days left for the volunteer group to recuperate, and in addition to the three days for the injured to recover, the main thing is the lack of cannon fodder.
The Land of Ice and Snow is not the Jade Country, so there is no need for the volunteer group to risk their lives to search for space nodes and then destroy them. This method of combat is very risky, and it may take seven or eight squads to close a different dimension.
It's not my parents, why are you fighting so hard?
It's rare to have leisure, and Wang Lan also has nothing to do with everyone's habits, and discusses the skills of using star martial arts with others. At first, I was in high spirits, but after a while I got bored again.
The red-faced things that others earned, Wang Lan seemed to instinctively. But if Wang Lan wants to tell the reason, Wang Lan can only understand the unspeakable.
It's not that Wang Lan is frustrated, he really doesn't know how to say it. The disadvantages of adding points have finally appeared, and the experience gained from adding points cannot be shared with others. The only way to share is to use the spirit to imprint. But Wang Lan was not so generous, and selflessly shared the skills she had worked so hard to learn.
Although the process of adding points is not hard, the process of earning skill points is still very hard.
Even if there are still three different dimensions that have not been closed, they have achieved a big victory after all. So today's dinner was also unusually rich, and everyone got five catties of beef. In the land of ice and snow, it is a luxury to want to drink and eat meat in large gulps, because there is no discipline wine, but meat is indeed a pleasure.
"Dididi-" The mobile phone rang suddenly, and Wang Lan's face changed slightly.
This is a prompt from the working mobile phone of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, since coming to the land of ice and snow, this mobile phone is basically in a state of scrapping, and the only function is to look at the time.
Wang Lan took out her mobile phone covertly, glanced at the information and put it back in her pocket silently.
It's been more than ten days since I came to the Land of Ice and Snow, and I understand that the field agents of the Heavenly Sword Bureau have not contacted Wang Lan as he said in the night, so Wang Lan still thinks that this mission has been canceled directly.
After dinner, in the dead of night, Wang Lan changed into a face-changing mask and successfully avoided the camp's induction and left the camp with her superb stealth skills.
The joint is located at a midnight bar in Ice City. Even if the ice city reaches the point of exhaustion, there will still be a lot of entertainment. Especially in the Arctic Ocean, if you don't drink, you lose the meaning of life.
Therefore, bars should be the best industry to survive in all the leisure and entertainment industries in the land of ice and snow.
According to the pre-designed incision, Wang Lan connected with the other party very smoothly. The other party grinned at Wang Lan with a harmless face of humans and animals.
"I don't have a name, you can call me number 31. My face has undergone plastic surgery, and the original owner of this face is a foreign affairs housekeeper of the Duanmu family. He relied on hidden channels to quietly escape from the Jade Country, but was detained by us. ”
"Is this meeting purely a meeting or ...... Got a task?"
Wang Lan didn't like the current state, and he was mysteriously acting like a spy. Although Wang Lan is a spy, Wang Lan likes to act above board.
"There is no task, but I have to give you an explanation. The seller here finally contacted me, and they urgently needed to sell twelve tons of space stones, asking for two hundred million. ”
"Twelve tons, they're crazy?"
"That's why I think this deal is a bit unusual, but it's the best opportunity to reach the target. I have a safe house in the land of ice, and here is the address of the safe house and the key.
All the clues and evidence I investigated, I will keep a copy in the safe house. If all goes well, I'll go back to my country after the mission is done, and you won't have to do anything. But if I have an accident, you can go to the safe house to get evidence and clues, and then continue the investigation. ”
Wang Lan solemnly replied to the envelope handed by the other party, "Do you want to help?"
"No, your mission is just a backup, and there is a high probability that I will successfully complete the mission. I've done this kind of task dozens of times, and I'm very proficient. ”
Wang Lan glanced at the other party deeply, although the other party's face was fake, Wang Lan inexplicably felt a divine brilliance.
"Good!"
"Then I'll go first, you have another drink, and then leave in half an hour. As he spoke, he drank all the wine in front of him, waved his hand and turned away.
Walking out of the bar, the alleys outside were pitch black, with no street lights on the road, let alone pedestrians. Wang Lan walked slowly towards the camp along the road he had come.
Even in the capital, the ice city at night is as dark as death, and the occasional flickering lights cannot illuminate the city.
"Boom-"
Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded.
Along with the explosion, strong star power fluctuations swept in.
Wang Lan frowned tightly and paused. This time he quietly left the camp to engage in espionage, and such an identity should not be nosy at all. But Wang Lan still paused and fell into hesitation.
The intensity of this star power fluctuation reached the Star Sea Realm. And in the entire Ice City, there are only a few of the strength of the Star Sea Realm, all of which are closely related to Wang Lan. Is it some teacher in the academy who fights with someone?
After hesitating for less than two seconds, Wang Lan suddenly jumped forward, and his body turned into a streamer and rushed towards the direction of the explosion.
