Chapter 562: The Temple
Although he had mastered the ability to fly, the saint was running on the ground, and Chu Tianjiang didn't want to attract attention, so he didn't use the flying function of the biochemical battle armor.
The tracking lasted for two days and two nights, and it was not until the early morning of the third day that Chu Tianjiang came to the vicinity of the "Divine Temple".
The so-called temple is nothing more than a hill, and from a distance, it looks like a volcanic crater that has been silent for a long time. It's just that the neighborhood is plain, so it looks more like a crater. If the temple is the nest of the church, its main building must be underground.
"Do you want to think again?"
"I wouldn't be here if I had to think about it."
"I still advise you not to go in. Of course, my suggestion is not useful at all. ”
Chu Tianjiang glanced at the figure and knew that it had something to say.
"I always felt like it was a trap."
"Trap?"
"From the very beginning, all of this we have experienced has been designed by design, and it is a trap designed for you."
"Why do you have such concerns?"
The figure hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you see that mountain?" That's the temple, it's just that in our day, it wasn't like that at all. ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's a crater."
"Something to do with the invaders?"
The figure nodded and said, "Although the attack came very suddenly and caught us off guard, there were still some signs before the attack came. Instead of going directly into the mantle to attack the underground cities, the invaders first appeared on the surface, took control of the people on the surface, captured a number of settlements. Before the attack, we had already detected that invaders had descended on Earth in a more common way. ”
"What's the more common way?"
"We can all understand the way, a spaceship."
"This ......"
"Although the intruder has mastered the space technique, and must have used the space technique to enter our micro-universe, the space jump point is not on the earth, nor is it in the earth's orbit, but is far away from the earth, about 10 million kilometers, and then the intruder came to the earth in a spaceship."
"This is where the spaceship lands?"
"It's more appropriate to say it's the point of impact." The figure paused slightly, then added, "Before we were attacked, we sent someone to inspect this location. The spaceship was supposed to be a living organism, an organism that could exist in space and create an ecological environment inside that would allow the invaders to live. After the arrival, the spaceship was buried in the ground, and the intruders came to the surface. ”
"This ......"
"Obviously, it is for this reason that the church has built a shrine here and has forbidden anyone to enter it."
"If that's the case, I'm going to have to go in and have a look."
The figure sighed and said, "The entrance is on the northeast side of the mountain, and it is guarded by a team of holy warriors. You'd better find a way to sneak in quietly and not startle the snake. ”
Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood the meaning of the figure.
Coming to the northeast entrance of the temple, Chu Tianjiang lurked. For him, stealth, raid, and infiltration are all basic abilities.
Guarding the entrance were several holy warriors, not saints.
Chu Tianjiang already knew that the holy warrior was a soldier of this era, to be precise, an elite soldier of the Holy Empire. They all have uniforms, that is, military uniforms, but they pay more attention to style and publicity, and do not pay too much attention to concealment in addition to being more close-fitting.
It is also understandable that for the common people, the holy warrior is the supreme being.
Besides, in the Old Continent, in addition to the Holy Empire, there is only one North Wind Country in a remote corner, so the army of the Holy Empire is mainly used to maintain internal order.
In addition to military uniforms, the holy warriors also had uniform weapons and equipment.
The main weapon is the kind of energy gun, which is used to deal with the common people, as well as the night demon, and the energy gun is more than enough, even against ordinary saints, the power of the energy gun is enough. It's just that if it's used to deal with stronger enemies, such as super soldiers in biochemical armors, it's not enough. It is for this reason that all holy warriors have a weapon for hand-to-hand combat, mostly long swords, and some heavy swords.
After carefully observing for a while, Chu Tianjiang made more discoveries.
The military uniform of the Holy Warrior was made of a special material, which should have a certain protective effect and be able to cope with the attacks of ordinary sharp weapons. There is also a helmet that covers the face, presumably a fully enclosed multifunctional helmet, and perhaps some equipment to improve the personal abilities of the Holy Warrior.
Through these, Chu Tianjiang made a judgment.
Holy warriors are actually ordinary people, they have gained powerful combat ability through weapons and equipment, and they are fundamentally different from saints.
Moreover, the Holy Warrior is nominally subordinate to the Holy Empire, but in reality remains a lackey of the Church.
Chu Tianjiang's judgment was confirmed by the figure, the holy warrior was indeed an ordinary person, no different from those peasants who worked on the farm. If they took off their uniforms and helmets, and put down their weapons, they wouldn't even be able to beat the guards guarding the farm.
It's just that these holy warriors have one thing in common.
Before they became holy warriors, they were all brainwashed and became fighting machines with a very single purpose, and they were no longer normal people.
After waiting patiently for a while, Chu Tianjiang made a more significant discovery: the vehicle.
Although Chu Tianjiang had long known that there were vehicles in this world, and they were not dragged by livestock, but vehicles driven by mechanical equipment, when he saw the team of vehicles speeding from the road and stopping at the entrance and exit for inspection, he immediately realized that his previous speculation was too cautious.
It was a fleet of vehicles, but a fleet of vehicles without wheels.
Although there are rut marks on the ground, they are not pressed by the wheels, but by some non-contact external force acting on the road surface.
In other words, it is a very high-tech hovering vehicle.
This discovery further proves Chu Tianjiang's speculation, that is, there are scientific and technological techniques in this world, but they are in the hands of a few people. The church is not only a religious institution, but also a scientific research institution, and uses the power of science to enhance the color of religion, make religion more mysterious, and make the common people believe in the power of the church more, so that the church has become the ruler of this world.
Obviously, this is a very strange combination.
In Chu Tianjiang's understanding, the church is the spokesperson of tradition and conservatism, but in this world, the church has the most advanced technology.
Of course, Chu Tianjiang didn't have time to think about this.
The convoy stopped outside the entrance and was inspected by the holy warriors. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Tianjiang quietly approached and hid underneath a hovering truck.
At this time, Chu Tianjiang saw clearly that the truck used a magnetic field levitation device.
Although the face of the earth has changed a lot, even the angle of rotation and inclination has changed, the geomagnetic field still exists, and it is very strong. As long as there is enough electricity on the vehicle to generate a strong enough magnetic force, it can use the geomagnetic field to levitate in the air.
In a short time, the convoy passed the checkpoint and entered the temple.
Behind the entrance is a long tunnel, very wide enough for three hovertrucks to walk in parallel, and with a yellow dividing line in between. The tunnel slopes downward, and the angle is not too large, perhaps because of concerns about the crawling ability of suspended vehicles. After traveling about 500 meters, that is, deep into the crater, the tunnel becomes spiral-shaped, also inclined downward, and the angle is controlled within 10 degrees. It was about a few kilometers along the spiral tunnel, almost two kilometers underground, before the convoy stopped.
Chu Tianjiang did not leave the suspension truck in a hurry, but waited patiently for a while.
After passing through the inspection, the convoy moved on.
This time, the convoy only traveled for a few minutes before entering a huge garage lined with a number of "berths" that stretched out to secure vehicles. Once the berths are secured and secured, the truck can turn off the suspension unit and unload the cargo inside.
When the hovering truck stopped, Chu Tianjiang slipped down.
Most of the trucks were carrying containers with air vents, and according to the figures detected, the containers were not filled with goods, but people, all of whom were young people under the age of 30, and mainly men, and not many women.
What's next?
Chu Tianjiang was a little big.
According to the information found by the figure detective, the intruder's spaceship was at the bottom of the temple, above which was the underground base built by the Church, and the parking lot was at the top of the entire underground base. In other words, in order to get close to the spaceship, you need to go down through the entire underground base.
There were a lot of people in the parking lot, all wearing the uniforms of holy warriors and helmets, but they were not wearing weapons.
Obviously, they are not holy warriors, just staff in the base, responsible for doing some sundries. It's just that as long as they have weapons, they can become holy warriors.
Chu Tianjiang did not take the risk, but patiently waited for the truck to unload all the containers.
After the convoy left, Chu Tianjiang slipped out from under the berth where he was hiding. The person in charge of unloading has left, and the parking lot is empty.
"On the left, the third door."
Following the hint of the figure, Chu Tianjiang climbed up to the warehouse and walked towards the third door on the left.
This is a sensor-operated automatic door, and it is not locked. When Chu Tianjiang approached, it automatically opened, and there was a corridor inside.
"What's next?"
"Go down. There is strong field protection here, and the range of motion of the detector is much reduced. ”
"Doesn't that mean you didn't say it?"
Chu Tianjiang entered the corridor, of course he knew that the road should go down, but he didn't know when the road should stop, or when to turn.
It's just that he has already come here, and Chu Tianjiang has no other choice but to take one step at a time.
