A few people who were a little closer to the entrance of the cave were swept up by the huge shock wave, and they were thrown four or five meters high and more than a dozen steps away. Fortunately, the snow was thick enough that I was not injured.

"Encounter formation, alert, alert." The two captains yelled loudly.

I picked up one* from the ground, and instead of retreating, I hurried forward, hiding on the right side of the hole.

Explosions rang out one after another, and judging by the sounds, they were military high-spirited* explosions, which were completely different from those I was carrying.

Waves of sound and air poured out again and again, and the cave was filled with smoke and dust, and nothing could be seen.

"Shalo, Shalo......" I shouted.

Even though I knew it was futile, I had to use this stupid method to call out to him, hoping that he had left the drawbridge and would be back in time.

"Somebody came out, somebody came out." The two captains jumped up behind me, each holding an infrared telescope and looking into the cave.

Sure enough, in the midst of the smoke and dust and the rocks, a wax figure staggered out, staggering, like sleepwalking.

"Oh my God, my God!" The two captains shouted in horror at the same time.

I've seen wax figures, but the two of them are seeing them for the first time, and with their imaginations, they can't explain why they're here, so they're horrified.

"He's ...... That's the German ...... Nazi ......" The two have become incoherent.

According to the "Ice Lady", wax figures can only exist within a mysterious space, surviving in a peculiar state. Once inside the real world outside, anomalous reactions such as incineration and shattering are likely to occur. Just like the yarn, fabric, and paper cultural relics that have been stored in a closed space for a long time, once they come into contact with air, they will be rapidly corroded or oxidized and turned into a pile of powder.

"Prepare for battle, there are ghosts, there are ghosts...... one of the captains reacted first, and immediately waved to his own people and gave the order.

They see the wax figure as a ghost, which is of course nonsense, but I likewise can't explain what it is. If there is no explosion in the cave, everything will be intact and forever in a unique sealed state.

"I'm here, I've seen the world again, I'm still me, the world is still the same world...... Hooray, hooray, hooray......" The wax figure reached the outside of the cave, arms up, and made a gesture of embracing the sky.

Looking at this scene, I just felt endless sadness.

The good need freedom, and the wicked need freedom as well.

According to the "Ice Lady", she imprisoned the wax figure in order to avoid the great human tragedy that swept the world through the "German system*".

The global situation after World War II showed that there were no Axis powers, no Nazis, no "German*", no shadows of all kinds of war demons...... Even so, there is still a long way to go before we can achieve great peace in the world and a beautiful situation in the global village. The hegemonic state still exists, but with a different seat and a different name.

The Snowton incident a few years ago has shown that people's selfish desires can never be eradicated, and the state's sense of power will never die.

A wax figure falls, and hundreds or thousands of wax figures stand up. For example, the red dragon in the desert of South Asia is not the embodiment of another wax figure?

The wax figure atoned for his sins for more than half a century, and the punishment for him was deep enough? Was it intentional or unintentional for the "Ice Lady" to release it under such a coincidence?

If the wax figures can survive with the help of the great powers of the north, what changes will it bring to the world?

At the very least, what I can think of is that some of the news surrounding "Nazi gold, famous paintings, and treasures" will be finalized, and those works of art that have been hidden by the Nazis will also reappear in the world.

"Catch alive, catch alive." The other captain also came to his senses.

I smiled bitterly, these people have a very strong sense of asking for credit, but they have no sense of crisis at all, and they don't know how great harm this sealed wax figure will bring.

With a bang, the SWAT officers shot out the capture net, a large gray net opening in mid-air, covering the wax figure, and then tightening itself.

Everyone rushed up and tied up the wax figures.

"Mr. Long, this matter is really ...... It's amazing, how could we encounter such a strange thing? No, it's not a strange thing, it's a great thing, a great thing......" The two captains were overjoyed, and their faces bloomed with smiles.

They didn't care about Shalo's life or death, but were grateful for the gift from God. If all goes well, this credit can help them win three consecutive victories, and even win the National Hero Medal, becoming the political darlings of the new era.

"Let's report to my superiors first." I waved wearily.

The two rushed to make a phone call, and finally got through at the same time. Looking at their appearance, one called Mrs. Bing, and the other called the senior commander of the SWAT unit.

The first person reported as follows: "Madame Ice, we are on guard outside the cave as you instruct. There was an explosion in the cave, and a wax figure came out and was captured alive. This person resembles the leader of the Nazi Party, and it is impossible to tell the difference, so I can only bring him back for interrogation first, and then report back to you if I have further gains. ”

After he finished speaking, the words coming from the earpiece made him visibly stunned.

I guess the real Lady Ice stayed at the Cheka Town command post and didn't leave half a step.

"You gave us the order outside the cave...... Are you at the command post? You didn't come to the mountain? However, as you have seen with your own eyes, you have entered the cave. What, catch that impostor? Yes, yes, we'll take action now and we'll never let you down. The first man took the lead and hung up, his face full of deep confusion.

The second person's call was normal, but when the identity of the wax figure was mentioned, he was reprimanded by the leader on the other end of the phone.

The wax figure is very strange, and it is difficult to understand it if you are not a person who has seen it with your own eyes. So, before he reported to the top, he should have thought of this result.

"Mr. Long, we split into two roads, one way down the mountain back to Cheka Town, and the other way to continue to squat here. Excuse me, which team do you follow? The two captains asked.

I changed my mind and decided to stay and see what else could happen in the hole.

Of course, Charlo hasn't come back yet, and I'm hoping for a miracle.

The snow has stopped, the temperature is getting colder and colder, and from the temperature gauge brought by the SWAT, it is currently minus 30 degrees Celsius.

SWAT officers set up makeshift tents and lit three solid-fuel stoves to barely withstand the cold.

After investigation, the cave has been completely blocked, and the cave on the other side has also been affected, and the top has collapsed, making it impossible to enter.

In this case, if the cave didn't have a back door, it was almost certain that Shalo would die.

It wasn't the end I wanted, but in the snowy mountains of the Caucasus, man's power was too small to stand up to nature.

At my insistence, the SWAT team searched the mountain twice, but could not find another hole, not even a crevasse in the mountain that was infested with people.

"Mr. Long, it seems that this can only be the result." The captain of the second team who stayed behind was extremely regretful, "Let's go down the mountain." ”

"Wait—" I had barely finished a sentence when the phone rang.

"To the temple? Just send Mr. Long away, or do we stay put? Good, good. The captain nodded repeatedly.

I immediately realized that a new situation had taken place in the temple.

"Mr. Long, there is a change in the temple, Madame Bing, please hurry there to discuss." The captain told me.

I didn't say a word of nonsense, nodded, and went straight down the mountain.

The trail was extremely slippery, which saved us a lot of effort, and in many places we slid all the way down, and the speed was at least three times higher.

In the distance, I saw countless SWAT officers surrounding the temple, all unsheathed and guns loaded, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

As I approached the temple, I was greeted by someone who led me into the small building and up to the second floor.

Miyankov and Madame Ice were there, and they stood in front of the flat stone wall, each pinching his chin, silent.

"You're here, you're coming—" Lady Ice was overjoyed to see me, and took a few steps to meet me.

The stone wall is no longer empty, but has become a live TV event, and it is not us, but some other people.

I saw Shalo, who was still on the suspension bridge in the light of the phospho fire.

Strangely, he kept running forward, but the drawbridge grew infinitely, and there was no end to it. Man's physical strength is always limited, and if he runs like this, he will soon fall down from exhaustion and lose his life.

"Temple Run?" I realized that the environment in which Charlot was located was very similar to a modern game, Temple Run.

In the game, the protagonist must constantly run forward, avoiding various deadly traps along the way, jumping, climbing, rolling on the ground, prostrate, and responding to crises with a variety of different techniques.

"It's not something we can handle." Lady Ice lamented.

In the face of the divine power of nature, the wise man can admit his own incompetence, and this is the difference between the wise man and the reckless man.

"What the hell is going on?" Miyankov asked.

I didn't want to answer him, because it was very tedious to repeat what had happened in the past few hours, and I couldn't find a connection between the various disasters, and even my memories were disorganized.

Shalo did a lot of things, but he didn't know exactly where he was going, and instead he was trapped in the mountains.

"The power of the ambush must be the power of the ambush." Miyankov found an answer to his question, "We alarmed the divine beast under the Caucasus mountains, and this is the revenge of the divine beast." ”

This is certainly not a good answer, but it is enough to reassure everyone.

"Look at the end of the darkness...... A face. "The first thing I noticed was the anomaly.

"Yes, yes, it's a face...... "Lady Ice cried along, and covered her face with her hands in utter panic, and looked through her fingers at the stone wall.

The face was huge, estimated to be at least ten times the size of Shalo's body in terms of spatial location and proportional dimensions.

The face appears far away from Shalo, about 100 meters away. Visually, it was three times taller and twice as wide than Shalo, and its mouth was like a flat cave, enough to swallow Shalo.

"That's the face of a banshee...... Legend has it that banshees with magic mirrors haunt the mountains of the Caucasus and hunt humans for food. Miyankov also woke up from his consternation.

It was indeed a face, but I can't describe what it looked like because it was fluid and changing, as if there was a computer behind it that had been superimposing many people's faces, causing its shape and facial features to change.

That kind of change is not an instantaneous switch, but a linear and uniform change, without any sense of stiffness.

Faced with such a face, the human eye cannot read it at all, and can only remember "a face", but never know what it looks like.

"It's from the Wandering Ghost Country again." I sighed to myself.

The northern powers have too superficial knowledge of the Caucasus Mountains to cope with the crisis brought about by the Wandering Ghost Country.

"We have no control over the situation and can only take the last steps." Mrs. Ice said.

Miyankov fell silent again, repeatedly exposing his hesitant and indecisive side.

"Mr. Long, do you have something to say?" Lady Ice asked.

"You both know the Great Wall of China, right? In order to block the southern invasion of the Xiongnu in the north, Qin Shi Huang in ancient China built the Great Wall for defense, dividing the world into two parts: inside and outside the city. Although the Great Wall was clumsy, it solved the most fundamental contradiction and provided ideas for later rulers to solve the problem. You are facing the invasion of the Wandering Ghost Country, and the top priority is to draw a clear line between the northern powers and the Wandering Ghost Country, whether it is to build the Great Wall or excavate the Long River, you have to build this defense system, the human will return to the human, and the wandering ghost will return to the wandering ghost. I said.

To date, no one has been able to refute Qin Shi Huang's vision.

In his time, the Great Wall was the best solution, so that the Huns' war horses, bows and arrows, and blitzkrieg could not be used, and they could only gallop outside the pass with little food and clothing, cold in winter and hot in summer, and covet the rich world of the south and could not reach it.

The same strategy also appeared in medieval Europe, when the monarchs of the great powers also built the Great Wall to block the "strange spirits" in the north. As long as we study history, we can know that the "strange ghosts" are exactly the same as the "wandering ghost country" we are facing at the moment, and they are all ghost tribes in the extremely cold region of the North Sea.

"No, no." Miyankov suddenly shouted, "The banshees must be eliminated and the territory of our country must be defended." This is an unavoidable war, victory will always be safe, defeat will ruin the country and family. ”
