Volume 1, Volume 1, Desert Ghost Town, Chapter 7: Into the Play
Ten minutes after everything was basically explained.
"If you're done, let's go downstairs and get in the car first, the meeting place this time is not here at the mouth of the Tarim Basin, Jiuxia, Qinghuan and I have a car, Linxuan, Mocheng and Lingjin have a car, briquettes, you and Xiaotu and Xi'er together, before dark, you must reach the periphery. β
"Understood, sister, let's go. Mo Cheng picked up Lin Xuan's arm, turned his head and grimaced at Qing Huan, and went on like this.
"By the way, everyone be careful when you go out, the security here is not very good, and people often go missing. Lin Xinyue's words floated in, but no one seemed to listen.
"Jiuxia, the mission is about to begin, I may not be able to guarantee your safety 100% in the future, you..."
"Well, no problem!" Jiuxia replied with a little ease, but saw Qing Huan's somewhat heavy face.
People who have not experienced life and death often talk about life and death lightly, but those who have experienced it cannot make them understand, which is really a headache.
"This operation is dangerous, try not to die. Xin Yue glanced back at them, chuckled, and went downstairs as well.
"It's not dangerous, isn't it boring?" Su Jiuxia laughed secretly in his heart and followed downstairs.
......
"These... What kind of stuff!" Qinghuan looked at Xin Yue and they drove three modified Range Rover SUVs, I really don't know how they got here so quickly without a driver's license, but what's even more outrageous is that the wolf's eye tactical flashlight, military compass, C.4, all kinds of modified firearms or something are acceptable, but... Luoyang shovel!Does the spiritualist want to use this thing?!Two large boxes of mercury!What is this for!Wait, what is this...?Salt, or two big bags of nearly a ton!
It is estimated that the equipment on the other two cars is similar, no wonder this time I have to use a modified Range Rover, otherwise I really can't fit it...
"Sister Yue, let's be... Tomb robbers, oh no, archaeology?" Qing Huan asked uncertainly, such strange equipment is estimated to be only used by tomb robbers.
It is said that there is no such thing as archaeology in the world, and there are many people robbing tombs together, so it becomes archaeology.
"You'll know when you go, these are all useful, huh? Who put this shovel in, eh, it can't be salt, Lin Xuan, this guy is confused and bought the wrong thing again..."And Lin Xinyue's answer directly made Qing Huan speechless, Master! Did you check the equipment well before coming! How could such an important thing be done by Lin Xuan alone!
After grinding for more than ten minutes, after some picking, it was almost all cleaned up.
Xin Yue dragged Qinghuan onto the passenger seat on the right side of the car, "Jiuxia, get in the car." β
"Oh. Su Jiuxia was also woken up by Xin Yue in a stunned state, because he couldn't help while watching a group of people sorting out things in the car.
got into the back seat of the car, ", it's so awesome." Jiuxia just got in the car and was shocked, six computers were connected together in a semi-encircled shape, covering a lot of land but fully considering the overall structure without looking crowded, "Month... Sister Yue... Where am I sitting?"
"Just sit in that seat. β
"Oh. Jiuxia replied lightly, and sat down like this, not long after the butt was attached, the seat moved back, and scared Jiuxia again, it turned out to be moved into the center of the pile of computers, which was convenient for control.
"Jiuxia, now that you're free, let's continue training. Qing Huan said while starting the operating software in the car in the passenger seat.
"Hmm. β
Since Jiuxia didn't have any actual foundation, Qing Huan started to teach him the most basic mental training, visual training, a process of restoring the nerves in your brain bit by bit and then enhancing your mental power.
The first stage is the shape, starting from the most basic shapes such as triangles, which are clearly presented in the mind, and keep them unchanged for three minutes, and then can switch between different basic shapes and keep them at the same time, and slowly transition to complex shapes.
The second stage is color, the first stage of the graphics to change different colors and can be maintained even if it is successful, the later stage needs a variety of graphics and colors at the same time to form.
The third stage is all things, and at this stage, the things imagined in the mind are no longer limited to basic shapes and colors, but are similar to real objects such as flowers and thunder and lightning, and can be observed from multiple angles at the same time and can be kept alive.
The fourth stage is the senses, for example, if you imagine a flower in your mind, you have to feel the fragrance of the flower, you have to feel the fire in front of you, and when you stretch out your hand, you have to feel the pain of being burned by the fire.
The fifth stage is to actively create non-existent creatures to evolve in their own minds, at this time, the requirements for the mental power of the brain are already very high, and if you are not careful, you may use your brain too much and become dementia.
Although Chen Linxuan said that there is still a sixth stage, she has not reached it yet, so she has not talked to Qing Huan in detail.
But in fact, Jiuxia was stunned for a long time after hearing this method, and a thought in his mind blurted out directly, ", isn't this just brain supplement?
"Sort of, but your body is a scrap, and your weak mental power will not be retained, and your increasingly weak body will only make you die earlier. β
"Master, I don't want to die yet, what can I do..."
"I'll help you take medicine to recuperate, you just quit for a while, wait, don't we have a Chinese medicine here, you go to him to see?"
β......β
The road was calm, and the convoy drove to the entrance of the basin while enjoying the scenery along the road, and there were already many people there.
Looking at the groups of various countries mentioned in the previous information, Su Jiuxia was surprised to find that the person who looked like the leader of the group in the United States was actually Asian, but it felt very dangerous, so it was better not to provoke it, and there was a team that was obviously Chinese, "That is the dragon group that has been rumored to be a god in society?"
However, Su Jiuxia didn't see anything special after watching it for a long time, no, there were no special people here... It's better to take it easy.
"I went to negotiate, but Wanqing, the lazy worm, didn't come, and gave me the burden again... Don't get out of the car. Xin Yue spoke through the communicator on her glasses, opened the door and got out of the car.
"Hmm. The crowd responded.
"Master, those people outside are all spiritual magicians?" Su Jiuxia could see the people in all directions in detail through the six circular screens.
"It's better for you to call me Qinghuan, it's better to listen to it like this, how can there be so many of them, you are a cabbage as a spiritual magician, and there are at least a thousand people outside, of which seven or eight hundred are ordinary people. Looking at the analysis of the heat source on the lenses, Qing Huan replied, "However, more than 200 people are already terrifying, why are you here so many times this time?"
"Light... Huan, do you say that there is a god in this world?"
"Hmm... How to put it, God is just a nightmare for human beings, something that only exists in human fantasies, and according to my current understanding, God is just a creature much stronger than you, so, of course. Although Qing Huan's explanation made Jiuxia a little confused, he still felt that it made sense, "There is something in the Taklamakan Desert, it should be." β
"What's that?"
"How do I know, I'm just... A small role. β
Qing Huan's words made Su Jiuxia stunned, indeed, in this new world where the general social law is already weak, strength is a higher law, and Qing Huan's cultivation should not be very high as far as he is concerned.
"It's okay, I'll protect you in the future. Su Jiuxia, who was deep in thought, suddenly had a hot brain, looked at Qinghuan's face and didn't know how to blurt out directly.
"Protect me... Well, I'll wait for you. "But you've been with me for a long time, and you've forgotten that I'm a man." β
"This,I definitely haven't forgotten it!!" Jiuxia found that his ability to YY now seems to be getting stronger and stronger, no, I have to change it...
"Actually, about the question of God, Xie Qilan has an even more devastating answer. He shook his head with a chuckle, although it was very interesting, but now that he was on the middle of the mission, it was better to be a little more serious.
"Huh?"
He said that if there was a God, he could not tolerate that God not being his, and he was not a god now, so there was no God. "This kind of strange thinking is also invincible...
"Actually, I'm thinking that if there's anything else worth sending so many people in, it's something to do with dragons. β
Whether it is the East or the West, there have been many strange creatures in their vast legends, but there is one common creature that is above all supernatural creatures, so that human beings are proud to make up myths to defeat or enslave them, that is, dragons, a creature that is regarded as the embodiment of evil in the West, and even the greatest achievement of saints is to kill a dragon, and in the legends of the East, the dragon clan is a low-level existence that has been completely suppressed by all kinds of gods, and people are even more proud of the legend of completely enslaved themγ
However, after all, that is just a human fantasy, in the past generations of wars with dragons or even wurms or dragon hybrids, there has never been a special case of single-handedly victory, as long as the organization has experienced the seven most famous dragon slaying battles in history, it will never instill in its subordinates the stupid and dangerous idea that humans can always defeat dragons.
To fight the dragon with people, you must meet it with a legion, supplemented by traps and tricks, in order to gain a glimmer of life.
In seven battles, humanity did everything to win each war at the cost of the fall of countless geniuses and the blood of their companions.
Because although the dragons are strong individually, they are all lonely monsters, and we have come with thousands of troops, but they can only fight alone!
Therefore, the dragon slaying battles of the past dynasties have ended with the blood of the dragon clan, although the human race is the victorious side, but, no one can deny the strength of this species!
"That's... When is the next time you will slay a dragon?"
You're not focusing on it, right? Qinghuan silently complained about Jiuxia Dao in his heart,
"Next time? It seems to be soon, eleven years later, and we have nothing to do anyway. "Qinghuan waved his hand, like them, going to the dragon slaying battlefield is completely at the level of cannon fodder," how to say, about the dragon clan, all the research related to it at this stage is basically chaotic. β
The origin of the dragons is inconclusive with the current research technology, and every time a dragon king with a full bloodline appears, it is almost impossible to predict when and where they will appear, and once humans can find them, it will be a world-class war.
Although there are many dragon-man hybrids infected by dragon blood on the earth, the domineering erosion and coveted power of dragon blood make dragon and human hybrids always walk on thin ice, and the existing research of human beings cannot find a way to curb this erosion, which makes the dragon-human hybrids unable to escape the fate of completely turning into killing machines.
The Supreme Will, a supernatural organization hostile to the Order, seems to have a way to control the corroded Dragonblood, so their organization has gathered almost all the Dragon-Man Hybrids in the world, and the Dragon-Man Half-Bloods have become a powerful force against the human organization due to their hatred of the cruelty of the Organizations.
In short, this dragon species and the legends of civilization associated with them seem alien to everything on Earth, and the genetic laws that all things obey seem to them to be just a building block of the Parthenon, and they ignore all laws as if they were rules themselves.
They seem to be aliens from outer space, deviating from but affecting the civilization of the entire earth.
"Speaking of which, that supreme will seems to have a close relationship with the dragons. Qing Huan rarely remembered so much, so he didn't stop and continued, "Eh! I remember, the name of that organization is the supreme will!"
"Master's personality is really a little out of line... But it seems that this world is so complicated. Su Jiuxia continued to listen silently.
"That division... Qinghuan, what are your abilities?"
"Is this this?" Qing Huan pointed to his eyes, "Hitomi array, innate, oh yes, the fifth ability is an innate talent!"
Su Jiuxia was no longer able to express his inner feelings in words: "Master, you forgetfulness!"
"It is divided into four main formations, and the power attributes of each formation are different, the one in the right eye that you look red is divided into two formations, traction and destruction, which are mainly used to call the elements and break the connection between the elements, and in the left eye, I only figured out the 'nothingness' pupil array, which roughly means that you can perceive the elements, and of course you can also use it to observe the strength of the other party or something. β
In fact, Qing Huan has always had a strange conjecture that he didn't tell Jiuxia, that is, he has always felt that his pupil array is not complete, as if there are still three sub-formations around the main formation pattern in his left eye, although only one is engraved with the formation pattern, but this is also very revealing.
"Actually, my ability is messed up, I don't know very well, every time I want to use power, I always feel that the pupil array itself is reminding me..."Gu Qinghuan shook his head to indicate that he didn't know much about himself either, "However, the only thing I can usually feel is the power brought by Xiao Xuetong's dragon blood in the fourth pupil array of my left eye, it is like a medium, otherwise I can't even feel the pupil array itself, but I don't know why." β
On the way here, Gu Qinghuan had already explained to Su Jiuxia the reason for his keel state and Xiao Xuetong's situation, after all, he was an apprentice, and it was impossible to hide it for a long time, so he simply told him directly.
And Gu Qinghuan's relatively weak personality and often confused personality have relatively narrowed the psychological distance between him and Su Jiuxia, and gradually became a strange relationship with Jiuxia who is also a teacher and friend, and gradually began to talk about everything, anyway, Jiuxia will not feel too embarrassed to say anything to Qinghuan.
"Anyway, the teacher... Qinghuan, do you think I should change my name?" Su Jiuxia really felt that his name was not good and had no connotation, which was completely inconsistent with his ideal fantasy world.
"Change your name, don't you think it's good?" Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, "Other people's reactions to your name do not depend on its pronunciation, but on the value it carries, and it makes no sense to change your name or something." β
"Your words are so philosophical. Su Jiuxia suddenly had a feeling of being sudden.
Gu Qinghuan pretended to smile profoundly, but in his heart: Philosophical fart, I wanted to change my name to Gu Tianjiao back then, and I was almost laughed to death by Xin Yue.
While the two were chatting, Lin Xinyue had already returned.
"We're going to have to go now, they said we're going to have to travel overnight today, and it seems like we've delayed them a lot. Lin Xinyue opened the door and sat in directly, "What else do you say about a team, alas, it really doesn't give face." β
"Who?"
"Who else, the second ancestor of the Dragon Group, Li Tianqi, forget it, pay attention to the cars, we are going to enter the desert overnight. Lin Xinyue started the accelerator, opened various software on the car, and kept up with the team of the dragon group.
"Overnight, the desert at night is very dangerous, what are you doing?" Qing Huan had been here before, but just going to the periphery made him suffer enough, not to mention that this time he was going deep into the hinterland, but then he thought about it, forget it, he has the strength to be capricious...
"What they said, just follow it, but Fang Ju has instructed you to cooperate with others. β
"Xin Yue, you won't..."Qing Huan took a pen from the storage box and wrote a note and handed it over.
Lin Xinyue looked at it, chuckled, took the pen with one hand, wrote it twice and stuffed it again.
"You..." looked at it, then tore up the note and threw it out of the window, the whole process was very hidden without electronic devices, so only the two of them knew.
More than 1,000 people, more than 200 cars set off with their headlights on under the desert at sunset, looking from afar like a silver-white dragon dance, Jiuxia looked at the screen and was a little stunned, "I didn't expect the car alone to be so handsome, I rely on it, I lived in vain a few years ago." β
No, don't you have to be serious, will you be embarrassed if you are too white?
As soon as he thought of this, Jiuxia's expression began to become a little awkward again.
"You don't have to pretend to be so calm, it's beautiful, when you first saw it. He chuckled, the expression on his face as if he was looking at another self.
"Uh, yes. Seeing through his heart, Su Jiuxia agreed with a little blush.
After driving slowly for nearly two hours, the sun had completely set, the entire desert was shrouded in darkness, the temperature had dropped, and the heating in each car was turned on to resist the cold.
Lin Xuan's image suddenly popped up on the right side of the front glass of the car, "Be careful, something is coming." β
"Well, got it, deploy as originally planned. Lin Xinyue nodded.
"That's the screen, too... This car is too high-end, isn't it..."
"Jiuxia, press the last button from the left above your head. Xin Yue ordered.
"Oh. Jiuxia looked up, and there were indeed five keys above his head, "The last one... It should be this. β
The abundant light in the car did not prevent Jiuxia from confirming, and when he pressed his fingers, he only heard the sound of mechanical movement from the back of the car, and then, the contents of the trunk appeared in front of Jiuxia's eyes.
"This is..."
"The whole body is connected, okay, a crash course in firearms, press the first button to put these computer devices away first. β
"Oh..."
Commotion had already begun to be heard in front of the convoy, and the dense gunfire was very harsh in the empty desert, and there was a faint light of fire, which should have been incendiary bombs.
"Lin Xuan, open up the external environment information, I'm still teaching newcomers. β
A window pops up on the computer screen, and a large amount of information appears on the front glass of the car.
The sand tooth worm, which is a strange creature that looks like both a crab and a scorpion, and it has double chelas on the front and back, which should be its main attack weapon, and it has no eyes but two long tentacles, and its whole body is similar to the color of sand, which is very camouflaged, which is Jiuxia's first feeling.
"Why hasn't this species seen a report?" Su Jiuxia was very strange, there was no reason why this species living on the earth had never heard of it for so many years.
"People who have seen it, either have been eaten, or have been blocked by the government, and there are people who can't say it, like us, um, and then it becomes a local legend. Xin Yue explained succinctly.
"Why don't you just say it, wouldn't it be better for everyone to better guard against them?"
"As soon as there are many people who know, trouble will come. Xin Yue didn't answer directly, "Hurry up and familiarize me with this gun, don't blame me for not teaching you how to use it when the time comes." β
"Oh..."
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a violent explosion in front of him, and a dazzling fire was raised, and it was the car in charge of Sky Rose in front today, and it actually blew up one!
"It's so exciting, it's just a swarm of sand-toothed insects, they should be easy to deal with?" Lin Xinyue turned the direction of her seat back and transmitted the picture on the big screen by satellite.
"Did they break into the nest of the sand-toothed insects?!" Xin Yue was also surprised, judging from the analysis of the heat source of the satellite, it was all red within a radius of two hundred meters, "Moreover, there are some strange things mixed in." β
On the image, it is clear that there are several creatures that look like strange creatures that do not look like sand-toothed insects.
"Do you want to go out and help?" asked Qinghuan.
"Are you enough for these bugs to stuff your teeth? Lin Xinyue directly refused.
"Well, it's all on a team... It doesn't make sense. β
"Today our task is to guard the rear, and here, for them, there is only a task, there is no reason. Xin Yue looked at the screen, "Moreover, our mission... It's not easy. β
"Huh?" Qing Huan moved his gaze to the screen, and the sand-toothed insects that were originally attacking from the front from one side actually began to surround them.
"I bring communication equipment and confirm communication, collection, and all the documents have been read. The situation was urgent, Xin Yue ordered.
"Hmm. "There are micro-images on the screen of my glasses, but my expression seems to be different from the first time I saw it, and it's not the kind of boring state that makes me a little crazy no matter how I look at it.
"Okay, now start commanding with full authority to Ji, and you all listen to his command!" Xin Yue repeated again, "Absolutely abide." β
"Hmm. "Although everyone had different ideas, they all agreed.
βGame oneοΌbeginning!β Ji's expression suddenly became crazy, and it felt like he was commanding thousands of troops to gallop across the game world, yes, it was like playing a game!
