Chapter 80: Cataclysm

And the battle on the other side has also ended, and everyone in the Pre-Qin Research Institute is a monk, and dealing with these awakened people is naturally like chopping melons and vegetables.

Xu Tao was still gasping slightly, he was just a teenager, and today was the first time he had killed someone.

However, at Jiang Ting's suggestion, he began to consciously mobilize the mixed dark power in his body, and with the blessing of this power, even if he had just taken the lives of several people, Xu Tao did not feel any discomfort.

As a survivor of the Shangyang Road Church incident, after experiencing the revival of the aura, the Buddha and the Tao worked together to purify it, coupled with the effect of various factors such as the soul attraction formula, the "vampire" bloodline in Xu Tao's body has undergone great mutations.

His "blood power" is not coming from the right way, saying that it is the power of the blood clan, Xu Tao has no orthodox blood blood in his body, and no vampire has given him his first hug, but if it is the power of the blood slave, Xu Tao has not been captured and polluted by vampires.

To put it simply, the bloodline in Xu Tao's current body belongs to the product of a failed artificial blood slave.

Before coming to the secret realm of Tianchi, Jiang Ting took Xu Tao to the capital, and after various examinations by the Academy of All Souls, the blood power in Xu Tao's body was determined-

A dark force with characteristics similar to those of the Bloodline, but whose essence does not belong to any of the Bloodlines, is a mixed but stable force.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Ting dared to let Xu Tao mobilize this power during the battle, instead of hiding it in the snow.

"Director, the temperature here is so low." Wen Xi felt the surrounding environment, and his brows furrowed slightly.

As early as when everyone came to the outside world, a layer of mana poured out of her palm, enveloping Xiao Chen Xing's body, preventing her from being attacked by the cold.

The blood on the ground had stopped flowing and gradually formed into ice crystals, and the martial arts master's qi and blood were so hot that even in the cold winter, they would not be frozen so quickly.

"The temperature is too low." Ming Xueling stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake, which was like a goose feather, and it actually showed a faint ice blue color, "The temperature here is at least minus seventy degrees, or even lower." ”

"Is it so cold?!" Wang Guangjun looked up at the sky, and tightened the useless cold-proof clothing on his body, "Why didn't I feel ......it?"

"Because you're fat!" Hu Jinwang didn't feel good, "You don't feel cold, the old man's old arms and legs can't stand it, I feel that my old cold legs are going to be committed again." ”

"Haven't you been digging graves all year round, and you've been getting too much yin qi......"

Jiang Ting's face darkened, interrupting the gag of the two: "If you feel cold, go and bury these corpses, and by the way, you can move your body." ”

Wang Fatzi cried and disposed of the corpse, Hu Jinwang dug a pit and he was responsible for burying it, although it has been determined that there are no other awakened people here, but everyone in the institute should be careful.

"Is it the change in heaven and earth brought about by the revival of aura?" Jiang Ting looked at the snowfall in the sky, and his heart became worried.

He, Wang Guangjun and others belong to monks, they are strong in blood and vitality, and they are naturally not afraid of the cold, but what about those ordinary people?

In the face of this catastrophe, how should they survive?

After a while, Jiang Ting rubbed his eyebrows and put his mind away, others are in the White Bear Empire, worrying about this matter is useless, everything has to wait until he returns to China.

"That's ...... Changbai Mountain? Wang Guangjun, who had finished the warm-up activity, opened his mouth wide and stretched out his finger to point ahead.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and froze in place.

In the distance, a huge mountain range stands there, towering into the sky, and its majestic figure can be seen even through the wind and snow.

"Is this Changbai Mountain?!" Wang Guangjun smacked his tongue, "Mount Everest isn't so high, is it?!" ”

What Wang Guangjun said was true, this mountain was too tall to see even with the eyes of a monk, and Jiang Ting estimated that just the mountain they could see was 10,000 meters high!

And strictly speaking, this mountain is not the main peak of the Changbai Mountain Range, but only a part of it that extends into the territory of the White Bear Empire!

"Something is wrong." Ming Xueling frowned, "Why is this mountain so far away from us?!" Even if we're coming out of a folded space, this shouldn't be the case. ”

"The spatial distance has been widened?" Jiang Ting looked at the giant peak in the distance, which was dozens of miles away from them, "What happened to the outside world in the past few days that we have been in the secret realm?" ”

If you count from the time when the people of the research institute opened the bronze door at the bottom of the heavenly pool, they stayed in the secret realm for a total of five days, and in less than a week, the outside world has undergone such a big change.

Jiang Ting faintly felt that since the incident of the aura riot that night, the speed of Blue Star's aura recovery had suddenly accelerated a lot.

After determining the direction, everyone in the research institute rushed towards the Changbai Mountain Range, as monks, Jiang Ting and the others were extremely fast, and they could cross thousands of kilometers in less than ten breaths, and dozens of miles were not a problem.

Approaching the mountain range, everyone really felt the majestic atmosphere of this mountain range, the mountain is thick and towering, and the snow on the mountain peak is white.

"This mountain is different." The old coffin said in a deep voice, "The old man can feel that this mountain has become self-contained and has given birth to some kind of 'potential'. ”

"Potential?" Jiang Ting was puzzled.

"Mountains have mountains, water has hydrology, and everything in nature has its potential."

Lao Coffin explained, "You can understand it as a concept related to the magnetic field of feng shui, just like there are strange people and strange people, and the clouds on the emperor's head are like dragons and tigers, which is the truth."

However, the difference is that the 'potential' in the famous mountains and rivers has substantial coercion and cannot be easily touched. ”

"Really?" Wang Guangjun obviously didn't believe it, "In the midst of this famous mountain and river, will that kind of formation-like thing really naturally be generated?" ”

"If you don't believe me, you can try." The old coffin said in a calm tone, "This mountain range has just awakened, and the momentum is not yet complete, even if you forcibly climb the mountain, there will be no accidents." ”

The Changbai Mountain Range was only a hundred meters away from them, Wang Fatzi nodded when he heard this, put down the mountaineering bag after a little thought, and came to the foot of the mountain in one step.

Then, he took a deep breath, exerted his legs, and jumped forward.

As a Soul Attraction Realm cultivator, Wang Fatzi has a strong physique, and he is ten meters tall in one leap, and in the eyes of everyone, he is like "flying" approaching the Changbai Mountain Range.

However, just as he was about to enter the boundary of Changbai Mountain, a layer of soft light emanated from the mountain, and Wang Fatzi's body stopped alive, as if he had touched a soft barrier and was bounced back.

"Bang!"

More than 200 catties of Kyushu monks smashed to the ground, and a large canopy of snow splashed.

"Oh, I'll go ......" Wang Fatzi took a few sips, spit out the snow in his mouth, and reached out to wipe his face, "The old man is really good, this mountain peak will be closed." ”

When he said this, he was still a little afraid, falling from a height of ten meters, if he was not now a monk, he was afraid that he would be seriously injured.

But then again, if it weren't for the revival of the aura and becoming a monk, he wouldn't seem to be able to jump so high......

Everyone was speechless, and as the revival of the aura intensified, the world became more and more weird.

"Eh, have you ever been angry with Zulong?" Jiang Ting suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"The aura of the ancestral dragon is as brilliant as the sun, and ordinary people must avoid its edge." The old coffin replied.

"What do you think of me?" Jiang Ting's eyes were eager.

The old coffin body was shocked, and the whole coffin leaned back slightly, as if looking up at the sky, he glanced at Ming Xueling beside him, and then said:

"After a lifetime of hard work and hard work, I hope that you can live a comfortable life of glory and wealth, I'm afraid it's hopeless."

Jiang Ting laughed twice and didn't say much: "It doesn't sound bad." ”

"What's the picture, are you uncomfortable...... the old coffin floated forward, and his voice was low.

"I'd love to."

Jiang Ting's tone was brisk, and he followed, leaving only everyone looking at each other.

……

After bypassing a few border posts, Jiang Ting and the others came to the territory of the Longxiang Empire, and the border posts were all garrisoned by ordinary people, and as monks, they could naturally easily cross the past.

Compared with the white bear, the territory of the Longxiang Empire is slightly warmer, but there are also minus fifty degrees, and the first thing after crossing the Changbai Mountain Range, Jiang Ting called home, and the same goes for Wen Xi and the others.

As a special department, the communicators of the institute are specially made, although they only have the function of making and receiving calls and sending text messages, the body is extremely sturdy, and the battery life is very long, a full two weeks.

Moreover, according to the design of the Wanling Academy of Sciences, the signal of this communicator is strengthened, and it can work normally even abroad, but due to the awakening of the Changbai Mountains, under the influence of its "potential", the signal of the communicator directly drops to zero.

The phone was connected, and Jiang Ting also knew some of the recent situation in Yicheng, and learned from his parents that the temperature on their side had also reached more than minus 50 degrees, but the emergency heating in the town was turned on, which relieved the urgent needs of the residents.

And the group of young men who look like they are engaged in pyramid schemes upstairs are all enthusiastic people, it is said that they are from a food factory, not only to send rice and noodles to the old couple, but also to take care of the neighbors.

Jiang Ting was relieved, there was a Tianshu management office, and his parents were well taken care of, but he still told the second elder that if there was any accident, he would go to Zhang Xiaoxian.

The same is true for Wen Xi and Xu Tao, the Tianshu Management Office is extremely protective of the families of department personnel, so there is no need to worry about anything.

After ending the call with his family, Jiang Ting then dialed Zhang Xiaoxian's phone.

"Hey, Xiaoxian."

"Hey, Tingting."

"How's it going over there?" Jiang Ting spoke, a little worried about his friend.

Unlike the personnel of other special departments, after the first battle of Qingcheng Mountain, Zhang Xiaoxian's cultivation was abolished, and along with the Dao Ji, he couldn't even awaken his cultivation.

"There's nothing wrong with it at the moment." Zhang Xiaoxian's voice came from the other end of the phone, he was wearing a special cold-proof suit, and he was directing the snow removal, "But it's hard to say next." ”

"What do you mean?" Jiang Ting frowned.

"It's been raining for three days now, and it hasn't stopped." Zhang Xiaoxian's nasal voice was a little heavy, "And since yesterday morning, there have been some cracks on the road, as if they have been stretched open, and the widest part can submerge my thighs in." ”

Jiang Ting chuckled when he heard this, the last thing he wanted to meet still happened, Blue Star was like the white paper that was clumped together, when this white paper was unfolded, it would inevitably lead to the expansion and turbulence of the entire paper ball.

"The railway line is still running in Yicheng, but it's hard to say how long it will last." Zhang Xiaoxian continued, "However, judging from the feedback from our people, if the rift continues to expand, it is very likely that the railway transportation line will be forced to be interrupted. ”

"What about communications?" Jiang Ting's brows had already twisted into pimples.

"There is nothing wrong with the wireless network, but the power supply line has been repaired several times." Zhang Xiaoxian replied, "And...... At present, the cause of this catastrophe has not been informed of the cause of this catastrophe in the news of Longxiang, and there is no movement on the part of the Imperial Parliament. ”

“…… I know. Jiang Ting sighed, he really couldn't understand why until now, those Longxiang nobles still refused to tell the people the truth.

Great calamity, great epidemic, great chaos. Since ancient times, the three have been inextricably linked, and often a catastrophe is followed by a pandemic, which in turn leads to chaos.

If the great plague after the catastrophe is attributed to the underdevelopment of sanitary conditions in ancient times, then the chaos caused after that must be attributed to the governance ability of the imperial court.

It is precisely because of the failure to deal with the catastrophe and epidemic in a timely manner that it will cause chaos.

And now, in the face of the catastrophe, the Imperial Diet turned a blind eye and allowed it to ferment, is it because of its absolute confidence in its own force, can suppress all turmoil, or is it because of ......

They don't care about the country at all?

"Don't think about it so much, do the job at hand, I'm afraid we have to rely on this disaster relief." Zhang Xiaoxian was silent for a long time and said, "By the way, my uncle and aunt have me to take care of them, don't worry." ”

"Hmm."

The railroad lines in the northern part of the empire had ceased to operate, and the cold and huge cracks in the ground had made the railroad twisted and unusable.

Jiang Ting and the others came to the nearest Tianshu management office, picked up two off-road vehicles, and drove along the highway to Xia City.

There was already a thick layer of snow on the road, but these two off-road vehicles were specially made, and there was no major problem to drive, and the snow was too deep in some places, so Jiang Ting and the others melted the snow with mana and continued to move forward.

A day later, they arrived in Xia City, and after settling Xiao Chen Xing, Jiang Ting threw himself into the disaster relief.

When he really arrived in Xia City, Jiang Ting felt the seriousness of this natural disaster.

Heavy snow fell, sealing the road, and the land continued to expand, and three days later, the Xiashi railway transportation line was blocked.

With minus 50 degrees Celsius, factories stopped production one after another, and the residents of Xia City could only stay at home, hoping that the disaster would end soon.

The day after Jiang Ting returned to Xia City, the first person in Xia City who died due to a natural disaster was found, it was a beggar who had frozen to death at the bottom of the overpass, and his body was not found until the snow removal team went under the overpass to retrieve the shovel that had accidentally fallen.

Seven days later, the emergency heating was terminated due to a lack of energy, and it was replaced by a minimum heating system, which provided a minimum amount of heating to every citizen's home, and the heating time was extended as much as possible.

The Xia prefect and all his officials delayed the payment of the money and issued local debts in an attempt to survive the crisis.

Ten days later, the granaries of counties and cities across the country began to run out.

Before the communication system collapsed, the magistrates of the counties conveyed the last message to their superiors - the granaries were out and the famine was coming.

Gu Yutang, the prime minister of the empire, sent a letter to the imperial parliament, requesting the opening of the warehouse and releasing grain, but the parliament refused.

Gu Yutang slammed the door and left, and then used the "half jade seal right", stamped the seal on the holy decree, and sent the awakened to notify the five major granaries in the country to open the warehouse and release grain, this special power set by Taishi Chen three hundred years ago was used by later generations for the first time.

However, the railway lines collapsed in various places, and the food could not be transported at all, so the Awakened and helicopters could only be sent to drop a small amount.

On this day, Jiang Ting, who had been nervous for two weeks, led the people of the Qin Research Institute to clear the snow for a day on the road between Xia City and the nearest granary, and after opening up a route of nearly forty kilometers, he finally fell into a coma.

However, the distance between Xia Shi and that granary is a thousand kilometers.

The next day, Jiang Ting, who came to his senses, went to the printing house, printed out the soul-inducing formula, and sent it to every household in Xia City like crazy.

Three weeks later, the famine spread, the cold intensified, and people continued to starve to death in both the city and the countryside.

A month later, the severe cold ended, the temperature warmed up, and traffic gradually resumed in various places.

In the fifth week, communications across the country were restored, and the Imperial Diet declared the dawn of the era of Reiki revival.
