Chapter 56: Airborne

Sure enough, the car stopped there, under a street lamp. Not far from the street where the hotel is located, this street is a literal blind spot – the edge of the vigilance force, right next to the downtown area. Both the regular police force and the guards of the inspection hall instinctively think that they are under the jurisdiction of the other party when they arrive here, so even the police cars that have been whizzing past before have not paid undue attention to this place.

Li Zhen stayed in the shadow across the street for a while, until he saw the car window lowered and the face of Ueno Kanliu was revealed.

The other party opened the car door for him and smiled meaninglessly: "Major, please come in." ”

Li Zhen closed the car door, so the car started, and along the long street like a fish swimming into the traffic. Ueno Kanyanagi had already changed out of his uniform and put on a tight-fitting combat uniform. It's just that he still wears the black knife at his waist. Right now, he was sitting upright, his long sword on the ground, like an ancient daimyo about to command thousands of troops to go to battle.

Li Zhen looked at him sideways: "You just ran out like this?" ”

"It was just a temporary shelter." The other party showed a faint smile, and his attitude was much softer than the previous seriousness, "I'm glad you made the right choice." ”

"It's just forced." Li Zhen smiled, "You people are really a headache. Sometimes I really don't know how to organize your ideas...... How did it get so many people's recognition? ”

"In a sense, you've already approved of us. If it's the door of truth – no matter what conditions they throw out, you won't compromise. Ueno Kanyanagi said seriously.

Li Zhen shook his head helplessly: "Okay." Without further ado, tell me what you're going to do tonight. You can't just rush into the lava, can you? ”

Speaking of which. Ueno Kanyanagi became serious. And he didn't seem to care that the driver of the car heard the conversation between the two: "The inspection hall has done preliminary work, and a large area of forest around the volcano has been cut down - a passage about 100 meters wide has been cut down. This way, even if the magma ignites a fire, the inside of the passage is safe. ”

"The magma lake has not been expanded, and we have used a lot of flame-retardant materials that are resistant to high temperatures to erect an open field around the lake and install some equipment. Among these devices are force field limiting devices imported from your country - a total of thirteen units. It is the largest number of holdings in Japan. There's also an ultra-low temperature weapon that can reduce the temperature of the magma surface to less than 100 degrees Celsius when fully powered. That means the entire lake will solidify. ”

"I don't have access to the Cluster Particle Laser Weapon tonight, but if it goes well, I shouldn't need it. There are also fire platforms along the lake that can provide us with fire support if that thing resists. ”

Li Zhen interrupted him: "Conventional firepower is not very effective against species. ”

"It's a next-generation weapon." Ueno Kanyanagi smiled, "Medusa system." ”

"This thing...... Used in real combat? Li Zhen was a little surprised.

"There is no distinction between the north and south bases in the inspection hall."

Sidestep the question. However, Li Zhen already knew what he was going to express. So he continued to ask: "Was it an ordinary person or a capable person who was working on the site at that time?" ”

"After First Lieutenant Watanabe Hattori was killed, he sent a team of ordinary soldiers. But they were unharmed. Later, an engineering team was tentatively dispatched, and there were no accidents. Ueno Kanyanagi said. As a result, we sent two more Abilities all the way deep into the area around the magma lake. One of them also went to the place where First Lieutenant Watanabe was killed at that time, but there was no danger either. While it's uncertain whether that species doesn't have the ability to alienate ordinary people, it's certain that it has some scruples - it may still be in its growth stage and can't fight us again. ”

"As for the claim that it can manipulate the underlying consciousness of the able, it has not been confirmed. This is where the variables of this trip lie. So far, it has not left the lava lake. It has never appeared in our sight again. It remains at a depth of about thirty meters most of the time. The deepest dive did not exceed forty meters. So it's unlikely that you'll be able to sneak underground, because there's so much pressure there. ”

"And what do you want me to do?" Li Zhen frowned slightly. "With such preparations, coupled with the strength of the Ice King, you are almost foolproof."

"It's just almost. But we don't want to make any mistakes. Because you only get one chance. Ueno Kanyanagi said solemnly, "It is said that you are different from us. You have the ability to control the species. ”

Li Zhen didn't speak, only nodded slightly.

And Ueno Kanliu suddenly paused, and said solemnly: "Maybe the previous actions were offended, but please be sure to wish us a hand." ”

Such an attitude is more comfortable than Kitagawa Harumi's previous attitude. However, it is nothing more than a singing red face and a white face. Li Zhen couldn't see how much drama there was in his expression, just as he looked away before - thinking that this guy didn't recognize Kitagawa Qingming.

So Li Zhen smiled: "So far, I can only do my best." But before I arrived, I reported your name to the guards in your inspection hall. If things can be done well today, I hope you can do something for me. Because I have no plans to leave the Secret Service for the time being. ”

"Please rest assured." Ueno Kanyanagi said again.

Li Zhen nodded, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair.

Tokyo is far away from Hiroshiro, but Ueno Kanyanagi actually got a small plane. Li Zhen didn't say much about this, and only secretly assessed how powerful the power of the Heart Society was through these details. They changed cars three times along the way, and they approached a variety of people. Some looked like mob youths, some looked like the most common young white-collar workers on the streets, and others ...... Among them was a gangster with tattoos all over his face.

It's just that these people who are very different on weekdays have a certain determined and pure look on their faces, as if they ......

Pilgrim.

In today's society, it is rare to see people who can have such a spiritual outlook.

The plane flew smoothly, with clouds gilded silver by the moonlight below. Li Zhen leaned against the porthole and watched silently for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What about that one?" She's going to fly over on her own? ”

Ueno Kanyanagi nodded: "That's a lot faster than us." ”

Li Zhen was stunned. Now there are only three supersonic airliners in the world, two in China and one in Europe. But even the small plane they flew in did not exceed the speed of sound......

Kitagawa Qingming's speed turned out to be "much faster" than this plane. What is this concept?

So he didn't speak again. And Ueno Kanyanagi seemed to be satisfied with his performance, smiled slightly, and turned his head away.

More than thirty minutes into the journey, the plane began to descend.

Li Zhen saw Chiyan Magma Lake for the first time.

It was a bright spot on the earth, like a fiery red eye. It glows warmly in the dark, casting an entire area of the vicinity a dark red. And above the one-eyed, heavy clouds stretched out like an inverted hat, obscuring the moonlight and starlight.

Ueno Kanyanagi stood up and handed Li Zhen a backpack: "Prepare to skydive." ”

He was slightly stunned: "Here?" ”

"We can't land at a nearby airfield, and we can't fly near the magma lake." Ueno Kanyanagi said, "The Ice King will pick us up. ”

But he suddenly remembered something and shook his head: "Oh...... You don't seem to need this thing. ”

"No, I skydive too." Li Zhen took the backpack.

Ueno Kanyanagi looked at him suspiciously: "As far as I know......"

"It's not every day that you get the chance to skydive." Li Zhen smiled, "Apply what you have learned." ”

So the other party only looked at him and stopped talking. The aircraft resembles a miniature version of a military transport aircraft, with the tail compartment openable. Li Zhen had been trained in the Secret Service Office in the matter of parachuting, but he had not actually practiced it. However, since Ueno Kanyanagi said that Kitagawa Harumi would pick them up, it must be no big deal if there is an accident. She can control the air currents to fly, so there's no reason why she can't handle the two of them.

The aft compartment slowly opened, and cold air like a knife rushed in. The cabin was filled with the sharp whistling sound of gale, as if it would be torn to shreds in the next moment. There was some bumps in the fuselage - this is not a professional transport aircraft after all. But Ueno Kanyanagi looked rather calm and put on a mask for himself.

However, I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, he didn't prepare an extra one for Li Zhen.

But Li Zhen didn't care - the strengthened body could indeed adapt to many environments. He tried to breathe a few times in the turbulent airflow, and quickly adjusted his state.

Ueno Kanyanagi turned his head and gave him a thumbs up and jumped out.

Li Zhen walked to the edge of the cabin and glanced at the lower part of the cabin - the earth was dark, and the figure of Ueno Guanliu was flying away. Having the experience of flying, such an altitude does not scare him. In fact, because he hadn't experienced the taste of flying high for too long, the current situation actually made him a little excited.

So he took a deep breath and jumped out of the cabin.

The ears were instantly filled with the sound of the wild wind, and the roar of the plane quickly disappeared. The gale tore at his body, and in an instant, he blew his close-fitting uniform cold. He felt like a boat in the middle of the ocean, pulled by the rising air currents and toppling to the side. He quickly adjusted his hands and feet, slowly regaining his balance.

There was a hint of joy in my heart - as the first jump of no one to guide, it seemed that I had done a good job so far.

The figure of Ueno Kanyanagi is in the lower left, and he has not yet pulled his parachute. So Li Zhen didn't move - just waiting for the other party to open the umbrella, and he followed closely.

The wind was so strong that it hit his eyes like a substance, blowing his hair backwards.

But...... Where is Haruaki Kitagawa?

The response that Ueno Kanyanagi said was not always on the ground, right?

Thinking so, he struggled to look up, squinted, and looked around.

Then I saw the figure.

She's above the moon.
