265. A barking dog does not bite
"What happened?"
Zhuge Yun was thinking about how to go down there without damaging the device under the ice, and answered a little absent-mindedly.
"The hosts! It starts with the caravans. Recently, I have noticed that there seems to be a significant reduction in the transportation of goods to and from the mining city. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just the Lin family, but then this kind of thing became more and more serious, and it became more and more serious, so I sent a few people to investigate the merchants who usually came and went here. But then, after a few days, the men I sent were soon lost far from Mine City. β
"Well, missing? And the merchants...... What kind of businessman? Zhuge Yun asked in some surprise.
"Almost...... There are all kinds of merchants, and the items they trade cover almost all kinds, from small daily necessities and food, to large mechanical parts, and equipment excavated by pre-humans. Joyna said cautiously, her tone seemed to be full of worry.
"Hmm, why is that? Do you have any eyebrows about this...... With your style, it's impossible not to dig deep into the truth behind this matter, right? Zhuge Yun said indifferently, but his attention also shifted to it.
"Yes, I inquired about the Turners and the Dominoes after I learned about it."
"Well, then, how did this happen?"
"Their trade volume also began to drop sharply a few days ago, at that time, we, your servants, together with several major families in Mine City, carefully analyzed it, and had some preliminary ideas, they thought that there were actions made by the surrounding gangs to dismantle the 'Ten Thousand Heavens Alliance'."
"Let's hear about it."
"So, I asked Dongfang Lu and Lin Wenlai to quietly follow behind the caravan out of the city, and after a few days of searching, they sent back some shocking news......"
"What's the news?" Zhuge Yun frowned, as if he had a premonition that it was not good news.
"They split into two routes, and found that in the southwest and southeast, those caravans were under armed threat from unidentified gangs, and there was a large armed force that seemed to be carrying out a blockade of the Mine City and its surrounding areas."
"Hmm, against the forces of Mine City?" He was surprised.
"Yes! But what surprised me the most was that there seemed to be some more powerful force behind these gangs. According to a thug caught by Lin Wenlai at that time, their leader was also coerced to deal with those caravans. β
Joyna sighed a little frustrated after speaking, but there should be more to say.
Sure enough, after a sigh, she shook her head slightly, bit her lip and said, "We seem to have miscalculated the situation, because, after Lin Wenlai reported these things...... Unexpectedly, the news was lost. Subsequently, Dongfang Lu's pursuit in the other direction was also met with strong resistance, and the last time I contacted him, it was revealed that he had been discovered, and a group of well-armed men had secretly attacked him, and there was no news yet. β
"Wait a minute, how could Dongfang Road be attacked? What weapons were attacked? β
Zhuge Yun was obviously a little surprised.
He didn't believe it, it didn't make sense. Can a mob attack make Lin Wenlai disappear? And what is the power that can make Dongfang Road be attacked by humans and even lose contact with Joyna?
With the Dongfang Road that he and the ghost have transformed, he has a powerful body and technological equipment far beyond this era, titanium alloy bones, the whole body is invulnerable, and it is difficult to invade water and fire, even with the firepower of the most advanced and powerful weapons of this era, as long as his brain is not damaged, almost no one can defeat him.
In addition, the powerful intelligent biochips in his body can control extremely complex mechanical structures, and if he is willing to calculate and analyze, those machines that seem rudimentary to him, as long as they are controlled by chips, he can easily paralyze them, or even manipulate them instead.
Therefore, Zhuge Yun didn't think that Dongfang Road could be attacked by a group of so-called gang organizations, or that something would happen to them that would be captured alive, killed, and maimed.
"It seems to be...... A powerful explosion, he was in a building, and he was completely hit by something with a huge explosion. In my judgment, that kind of power can definitely collapse the entire pre-civilization structure of tens of thousands of tons! β
Joyna's face was pale, but even she didn't seem sure if she was telling the truth.
"Huh?" Zhuge was stunned, how could there be such a powerful ** in this era?
"I saw him in a dilapidated building, monitoring the caravans, and all of a sudden, the picture flashed white, and there was a loud explosion in my ears, and then ...... He lost contact with me. β
After Joyna said this, her eyes straightened and then fell silent, as if she couldn't believe the images she was seeing.
Zhuge Yun put his two fingers together and put them on his forehead, and the network of spiritual power immediately sensed it.
He sensed that the imprint of spiritual power on Dongfang Lu's body had not disappeared, but it was obviously shielded by something, very weak.
And Lin Wenlai's spiritual power couldn't be sensed at all, and this was different from Xiao Wu's reaction after he was taken away, Lin Wenlai's spiritual power reaction seemed to have disappeared completely.
There are two possibilities for this situation, one is that Lin Wenlai was killed and completely lost his life fluctuations; The second is that he is out of the scope of his spiritual power network, which is unimaginably huge, to put it bluntly, it is not within the scope of this planet...... Spiritual power is not sensed by oneself.
Either way, it's inconceivable, it's hard, it's very hard!
Not to mention that he was a powerful "Sky Survey Shadow Guard" in his own right, he was a cultivator of a top-level existence, and it was almost impossible to be killed by ordinary forces. Moreover, if there is such an ability, or a person who can do it, according to his cognition, it is almost non-existent on this planet.
Zhuge Yun knew that his spiritual power imprint also had a range, that is, it existed on the surface of this planet, and he could narrow the distance of his scattered spiritual power through the law of spatial gaps.
Then, it is very likely that Lin Wenlai has escaped the control of his spiritual power network.
This seems to be the most plausible explanation at the moment, he must have encountered some kind of unknowable force.
Suddenly, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and he thought of something.
That's right! It wasn't that there was no possibility of that powerful force, and he had forgotten one thing - there were other "blood spirit" killers on this planet.
Those "blood spirits" come from alien planets, and are called executors and killers by the vast galactic empire, and each one of them has an unrivaled amount of energy, and has a secret means to destroy all living things at every turn.
Few of the races they hunted down survived, and they themselves were creatures that had mastered millions of galactic energies, and they also held countless artifacts in their handsβall powerful creations snatched from the hands of civilized races that had evolved to the ultimate stage.
Humans, to them, are just ants.
"Master, what am I going to do next?" Joyna asked with a look of anxiety as she flicked her transparent wings behind her.
Zhuge Yun glanced at the mechanical device under his feet, shook his head, and said slowly: "You have to pay attention to the dynamics in the southwest direction of the mining city, I think...... There may be an enemy coming to the door. My servant Dongfang Lu don't worry, he's not dead. As for Lin Wenlai, I can't say, wait for my news. β
"Yes, master! I will muster all the forces of Mine City to defend against our enemies. When Joyna spoke, there was no trace of panic on her haughty face.
She knows, and fully believes, that her master is omnipotent.
"Listen, I'm going to tell you, barking dogs don't bite. You just have to be careful about the completely ignored beings hidden in the shadows, and that is the dog that can't bark, it's the most ferocious. β
Zhuge Yun only left this sentence, and then closed the communication.
At this moment, he was even more eager to get the energy covered in ice and snow, and there was not much time left for him.
Damn it! Or because of the lack of strength, he thought to himself.
In this world, only strength can represent everything, and can solve all these troubles, and he must quickly become strong and get all possible strength.
He didn't expect to be able to restore his former power on Earth, but at least it would allow him to survive until the time came to change the coming calamity.
Thinking of this, a trace of tyranny flashed in Zhuge Yun's eyes.
"Crunch!"
Seeing him move, Evenna and 17 grabbed it with one hand in the air, and the strange metal structure on the tundra was torn off by the force.
"Boom!" Another loud bang.
The cold metal that had been frozen for hundreds of years exploded inside, and the principle was like an egg being put into a microwave oven to heat, and the instant high temperature produced extremely strong energy. The explosion sent a puff of white smoke, and the thing was torn open by a rift more than 2 meters long, and the molten metal slowly flowed into the passage below like magma.
From the air, the place looked particularly dark in the polar sun.
"Hmm...... No matter how much it is, let's go, come down with me. β
Zhuge Yun slowly fell from the sky as he spoke, and glanced at the spiral spire of the elevator car in front of him, where a large hole had been melted out.
The surrounding ground also collapsed, as if in the center of the metal machine, a small earthquake occurred, and the ground after the earthquake formed a huge crater with a diameter of several hundred meters.
Avenna and 17 looked at each other, shocked by the master's powerful methods.
I didn't see how he did it, and he actually made the metal explode so effortlessly, this supreme ability is really demonic.
They didn't know that Zhuge Yun's current ability was less than one ten-thousandth compared to before.
The darker the shaft went down, the more difficult it was to see the light, but Zhuge Yun still lit up with a pale blue light around him. This was done so that Avenna and the others could see where they were heading, and it was enough for him to have his own senses, and he didn't need to use his eyes to observe his surroundings at all.
They seemed to have been falling with him, and after some time, they finally stepped on the ground with a "snap".
Hard and smooth, the ground was made of metal, apparently a pre-civilization creation. As soon as they landed, they felt a warm wind blowing in their faces.
Is there wind under the huge shaft?
Zhuge Yun didn't stop at all, and used his divine sense to explore this space inside and out for a while, except for the smooth metal floor at the entrance, which looked like a high-tech thing, the inside was completely a room poured with thick cement walls, rough, simple, and incompatible with the appearance outside.
Zhuge Yun was a little surprised, he knew the function of these cement walls.
The concrete walls are 2 meters thick and are aggregated with barite, magnetite, limonite, lead and scrap iron.
This thickness is sufficient to resist most of the intense radiation, providing good shielding against Ξ³ rays, X-rays, or neutron radiation, and is also mixed with borax to reduce the penetration of neutron streams, which was called shielded concrete in the early days of pre-civilizations.
