Chapter 61: Tracking

Tracking and anti-tracking, this is a compulsory course at the Third Military University, and the three Ai Jie who graduated from the university naturally have mastered this skill, especially Shi Peter, who has a strong ability to grasp the details, he is particularly good at tracking, and when he was in the Third Military University, the course of tracking and anti-tracking, Shi Peter can be said to be among the best.

Compared to the three of Agey, Lenny was just an ordinary researcher before he became a semi-monster, and he didn't know how to reverse tracking at all. Finally escaping from the three of them, she was full of thoughts about running as far as she could, completely unaware that she had left many clues to follow along the way.

Snow was falling, and most of Lanny's footprints were covered in snow and ice. Even so, Peter was able to find clues about Lenny's progress and determine the direction in which Lenny was walking.

Lenny isn't stupid either, and as a researcher, she realizes that she might be being chased by the footprints, so she deliberately makes footprints at different forks in the road in order to confuse Applejack and them. However, her novice deception methods could not fool Agey and them, and in the eyes of Peter, who had excellent tracking skills, he was as clumsy as a child's skill.

The team was led by St. Peter, and under the leadership of St. Peter, the four-person team shuttled through the ice field at great speed, gradually approaching Lenny.

As the four of them advanced, the snow on the ice field became more and more violent, and the strong wind carried the heavy snow, forming a strong blizzard, which not only affected everyone's vision, but even made it difficult to move forward.

This time, Jiang Yong was also holding back a lot of energy, originally the weakest of the four, he was almost moving forward by running at the moment. Jiang Yong's emotions drove the others, the pace of the team's forward movement was greatly accelerated, everyone was almost moving forward in a wild way, the blizzard could not stop the pace of the four people at all, and everyone moved forward solidly.

Thanks to the fact that Ai Jie and the three of them were all trained soldiers, they could withstand the high-paced march, and Jiang Yong's adrenaline outburst under the emotional excitement also made him hold on.

As time passed, the four of them gradually descended into the depths of the ice field, the true heartland of the frozen realm......

……

After a violent blizzard, the world suddenly fell silent. The snow that had been falling in the sky disappeared all at once, and only the snowflakes of the stars fell.

The blizzard disappeared, and the horizon suddenly widened. At this time, Aijie and the others realized that the originally empty ice field had suddenly become narrow, and there were frozen and snowy buildings everywhere, and the sunlight shining from the clouds made these buildings seem to be dyed with a golden film.

Looking closely at the buildings, although the outside is covered with thick snow and ice, you can vaguely see that these buildings are all steel buildings.

However, almost none of these steel buildings are intact, and as far as the eye can see, there are ruins everywhere. The hard steel building is full of scratches and cracks...... There are even cavities that are directly crushed and ruptured.

In the broken parts of these steel buildings, there are tooth marks, paw prints, and fist marks...... There are even traces of flames, and even craters of impact explosions, all kinds of strange traces indicate that there was a tragic battle here.

One particularly striking building in this group is the conical tower that sits behind the steel buildings.

The towering minaret can be said to be the most complete building in this area, this tower is at the rear of the building, there is still a considerable distance away from Aijie and them, but with the height of the minaret, Aijie and they are here enough to see the whole picture of the tower.

The minaret, which is hundreds of meters high, reaches into the clouds, and the surface of the tower is made of silver metal, and the body of the tower is spiral-shaped, and from a distance, there is almost no gap in the tower, full of ingenious perfection.

Of all the buildings, this tower is the only one that has not been stained with any snow or ice. If you look closely, you will see that any snowflakes that come close to the tower will dissipate invisibly at a certain distance, creating an area that snowflakes can never get close to.

Seeing this minaret, Jiang Yong's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, as if he understood where this was, and he suddenly realized: "This is ...... First Forbidden Zone! ”

Forbidden Zone 1, which is what researchers in Iceland refer to the area around the minaret. As the name suggests, Exclusion Zone 1 is a place in Iceland that is inaccessible to ordinary people, and there are strict restrictions on the entry and movement of people inside and outside.

Today, Iceland is an island centered on scientific research, with countless large and small research institutes and a wide range of research areas. From biotechnology to weapons development, from astrophysics to energy technology...... The development of the network of science and technology has given the Icelandic Institute a strong technical capacity, providing the Federation with a myriad of state-of-the-art technologies.

However, among the many scientific research projects that are star-studded, there are studies that involve top federal secrets. For example, the development of the GW7 series of fighters and the use of interstellar weapons cannot be easily disclosed and should be kept in a state of absolute secrecy.

The first exclusion zone is dedicated to the research and development of such classified projects. The first forbidden area covers a huge area, surrounded by plains that stretch for thousands or even thousands of meters, and the open field makes the experiments of various weapons proud, and also blocks the time for ordinary people to enter the first forbidden area. In normal times, if you want to enter the first forbidden area, even if you don't enter the deep research area, but just close to the plain where the forbidden area is located, you have to go through heavy inspections, and the defense mechanism around the perimeter of the first forbidden area will never let go of any fish that slip through the net.

Now the defense mechanism on the periphery of the first forbidden area has long been destroyed when the monsters are dancing, coupled with the great changes in Iceland's terrain and climate, even Jiang Yong, who lives in Iceland, did not connect the ice field with the first forbidden zone at the beginning. It wasn't until Jiang Yong saw the symbolic minaret that he realized that he had entered the first forbidden area.

After listening to Jiang Yong's explanation, Ai Jie touched his chin and muttered, "Is the Federation's secret experimental site......

As if thinking of something, Ai Jie raised his head and asked Jiang Yongdao: "There is a first forbidden area, so are there also second and third forbidden areas?" ”

Not understanding why Ai Jie asked this question, Jiang Yong was puzzled: "There is a second forbidden area, but there is no third forbidden area." If the first exclusion zone is here, then I guess the second exclusion zone should be on the other side of the volcanoes. ”

"Volcanic swarm...... Flame Realm? Aijay didn't say anything more, he was deep in thought.

At that moment, St. Peter, who was at the front of the line and was in charge of tracking down Lenny, stopped.

Looking around carefully, Shi Peter's brows furrowed: "The trail of tracking is broken." ”

Ichinoe asked, "The clue disappeared out of thin air?" ”

"Nope." St. Peter shook his head, his face full of doubt: "It's not that the clue has disappeared, but that it has suddenly become chaotic." ”

"Just now, there was only Lanny tracking clues along the way, but after arriving here, there were traces of more than one person, and the time was very close, now there are more than ten traces, and the information of the clues is also close to Lanny's, which is completely impossible to continue to judge Lanny's course of action."

"The time of approaching is not the traces of people walking, it seems that there should be a 'creature' outside of Lanny here."

Either a survivor of Iceland or a half-monster being like Lenny. Either way, Applejack and the others couldn't just turn around and go back. Since you can't trace it in a straight line, you can only expand the scope of your search.

There was no conclusive basis, but everyone had a hunch that Lenny should be here.

Naturally, as the search area expanded, the four gradually approached the minaret, which was now closer and closer to the minaret, which had previously only been visible from view.

Perhaps because the snowflakes could not get close to the minaret, a large number of snowflakes piled up around the minaret, and a gust of wind blew, and the snowflakes hit everyone's faces, making everyone's faces covered with snow.

Easily wiping the snowflakes off his face, Ai Jie's hands suddenly froze.

Looking at the white and clear snow that was as delicate as hexagonal petals, Ai Jie's heart could not contain a chill.

The smell of snow?

The smell of blood!
