By the time Thomas came with the rescue team, it had been several days.

Of course, for a rescue operation in an uninhabited mountainous area, this is already a very fast pace. Thanks to the mountain people he met on the road (as they called himself). These people, who had been trapped in the wilderness due to a car breakdown, were full of gratitude when they received Thomas's help, and on the other hand, they showed extraordinary enthusiasm as soon as they knew that they were saving people. Helped Thomas a lot and provided a lot of useful advice.

With the help of these "land snakes", Thomas's call for help went very smoothly. In fact, in Kunlun Mountain, it is not uncommon for tourists to have accidents. Lu Wu had just watched a live rescue video before (this can be said to be the origin of everything). When it is time to rescue, the relevant departments are not ambiguous.

Although Thomas already knew from Director Gao that Lu Wu was not dead. At the same time, he also knew that Lu Wu was a cultivator, a person with supernatural abilities. However, when it was really time to save people, he was actually nervous in his heart. After all, Lu Wu has been trapped under the snow for too long. Even if Lu Wu used his superpowers to find the cavity naturally formed under the avalanche, would there be enough oxygen in it? And he only said about this matter from Director Gao—he himself didn't know anything about Lu Wu's situation.

However, there is nothing more convincing than the facts. When Lu Wu was rescued from under the snow by the relevant personnel, although he was choked by the cold, he was obviously conscious and not in danger of his life. According to the medical staff in the rescue team, the frostbite is quite serious and needs to be sent to the hospital for observation and treatment for a period of time, but in the final analysis, it only needs to be sent to the hospital for observation and treatment for a period of time.

For an example like Lu Wu, such a result is already a miracle.

The average person may think that a person has been frozen under the snow for two days, but this is normal. But Thomas knows the truth - Lu Wu has been under the snow for nearly eight days (yes, Thomas lied.) This was the advice of the warm-hearted people who were rescued by Thomas, and the actual situation forced Thomas to lie as well. If he told the rescuers that Lu Wu had been buried under the snow for so many days, it is estimated that everyone would have no hope at all, and there would be no efficiency at all).

"Actually, there is no place. In the mobile phone, the voice of Director Gao rang. Director Gao's voice was a little lazy, but Thomas couldn't tell if he was not interested in the matter, or if he was using his supernatural abilities with all his might. "There are a couple of things up front. ”

Thomas was sure that Director Gao should be far away at the moment. Whether it's across the ocean, or in a city in China, he can't be on this side. But through some kind of supernatural ability that Thomas can't understand at all, Director Gao can use this mobile phone as a key point to grasp the situation around Thomas, as if he was possessed by Thomas.

It's an amazing ability, and it's perfect for pretending. Think about it, thousands of miles away, everything is in your hands—a power that might not have been powerful if there was a lack of means of communication in ancient times. But in the modern era of wireless communication, this is simply a pretending artifact.

Thomas now fully understands why the company can manage a steel mill (and a trading company) by remote command over the phone, and for the manager who has this ability, it is exactly the same as if he had come in person.

He really knows everything.

However, Thomas is actually very curious about how far the other party can know. After all, not to mention supernatural abilities, even fiber broadband video will have noticeable delays. With this in mind, Thomas pulled out the gem he had picked up from his pocket.

"Director Gao, do you know what I have in my hand?"

It should be noted that Thomas was alone on this side at this time. At this time, the rescue work has been basically completed, half of the personnel have been evacuated, and the rest are also organizing the camp to prepare to leave. Thomas came here alone. The reason why he was so early was entirely because of the guidance of Director Gao. As mentioned earlier, after rescuing Lu Wu, Lu Wu handed over his portable mobile phone to Thomas. If Thomas didn't understand what this meant at first, he understood when the phone, which was theoretically supposed to have a signal at all, rang.

There was only Lu Wu alone under the snow...... But the missing are two, as well as Amber.

This should be a tacit understanding. Now what Director Gao asked him to save should be Amber. And, for some reason, Lu Wu and Director Gao thought that the chances of Amber surviving were so small that there was no need to send a rescue team. All you need is Thomas to check it out.

There was silence in the phone. Thomas felt that at this moment, Director Gao should use his supernatural abilities to carefully observe and feel (obviously not visually) the gem in his hand. After a few seconds, maybe a little longer, he heard a voice on his phone.

"A jewel?" Director Gao's speaking speed had always maintained a regular rhythm like an electronic sound, but at this moment, this rhythm was broken. Maybe he's not very confident, maybe maybe he's just a little surprised. "Big...... Where did you get it from?"

Thomas scratched his head, trying to say that he had picked it up over here. But I think Director Gao may not believe it. Although Thomas has not yet found anyone to identify this gem, he also understands that this gem may not be an ordinary thing. If nothing else, the whirlpool thing inside (I can't tell what it is, maybe it's some kind of liquid, maybe it's some kind of gas, maybe it's some kind of energy) but it moves. There is no such thing among the common gems known to earthlings.

"Thomas, this gem ......" Director Gao seemed to hesitate. "You'd better not have. ”

"Yes...... Is there some kind of radiation that is harmful to the human body?"

"No, it's not. Director Gao sighed. "It's a ...... Something beyond your logic. Better leave it to me. ”

"Can you explain it to me?" asked Thomas. Some instinct told him that the gem in his hand could be of great value.

"Well, Thomas, first make sure that you have the courage and wisdom to believe in those ...... Something that is absurd to others, or even illogical. ”

"With only facts as evidence, reasonable speculation, I can trust anything. Thomas replied cautiously. He had a hunch that he was likely about to come into contact with the truth of the cultivator world.

"This gem originally belonged to me. The master said. "It's just a gem for you...... Even according to ordinary logic, whether it is a 'gem' or not is debatable. But for me, it's an important tool. I should say, Thomas, if you show it to another person, then things can become very unpredictable. ”

"What?" Thomas began to feel a cloud of fog.

"Our world has different gateways. There are creatures that are very different from humans who come to our world through these portals. You can think of it as aliens, or as intelligent beings from other dimensions. Director Gao said earnestly.

"How could it be ......," Thomas was stunned.

"Yes, these uninvited visitors appeared long before our ancestors crawled out of the water. We can only explore their footprints from a limited number of sites. But in any case, when the earth civilization appeared, the ancestors had already come to the conclusion that these extradimensional creatures were very dangerous existences. ”

"Some of them seem to have just stopped for a moment and left without leaving a trace. But others are not. Their power and technology are so powerful that the slightest malice can lead to destruction. And these devastations can be glimpsed from the epics handed down in ancient times. ”

"Epic ......" Thomas remembered many ancient myths he had read. Indian, Greek, Chinese, Christian, Buddhist, and so on. Many epics do contain accounts of humanity being destroyed by forces far beyond imagination. For example, the Great Flood, the nine suns, some kind of weapon similar to the atomic bomb, and so on.

But that's history books after all. According to modern logic, without archaeological support, then myths are not credible. Who knows what kind of attitude the writer of the myth and story had in writing about it? Maybe it was just an absurd dream, maybe it was just a little lie mixed with some dark psychology, or maybe it was just a clerical error.

"But for us, now that our civilization is capable of self-development, this possibility must be erased. Director Gao said solemnly. "We must close these portals so that those extradimensional beings can no longer set foot in our world. ”

However, there has been no credible record of this for thousands of years. Thomas reminded.

"Because most of these portals were closed before there was a clear historical record. Director Gao explained confidently. "The fewer portals there are, the less likely these uninvited guests are to show up. After all, the earth is not a destination for them, and they have malicious intentions, nor targeted malice, but more like a whim. It's like a child pouring a whole cup of boiling water into an ant's nest. This is not because he has great hostility and hatred towards ants, but simply because of a biological instinctive, freewheeling malice. ”

"Then this gem is ......," Thomas finally understood. "The door is locked?"

"But," although Director Gao said so, he still felt incredible. In the end, maybe Thomas is possessed by the soul of a journalist, maybe he is more gullible, but not to the point of being gullible. He believed that Lu Wu had supernatural abilities, and this was because he had indeed found irrefutable evidence. In this regard, facts speak louder than words. "Is there anything you can prove it other than this gem?"

"I can give you evidence, but you have to swear that everything you see and what you have obtained cannot be freely disclosed to a third party. Director Gao said very seriously. "Unless with my permission. ”

Thomas swore right away.

"Go ahead, there's a helmet over there. Director Gao guided.
