Chapter 50: Andrew
Everyone thought that Area 51 was hiding all sorts of unknown things like aliens. But to the staff inside. District 51 is not at all as mysterious as outsiders think.
It's just a military base for a nuclear weapons lockbox. There are several secret laboratories in the base, and it is said that research and development of certain unknown items have also been carried out. But in the end, it was all over. After all, after no visible achievements, the government will not be able to continue to invest in those laboratories, no matter how rich it is.
Legend has it that the original Spear of Longinus, the Shroud of Jesus, the Holy Grail, the Dead Sea Papers, and other religious artifacts have all appeared here. But in the end, they can only be thrown into the warehouse and never see the light of day.
It wasn't until about six or seven years ago that a top-secret item was brought in by a mysterious troop escort. From that moment on, the entire District of Fifty-One began to get closer and closer to the legendary Area of Fifty-One. The staff at the base had even seen a few teenagers who were able to fly. At the same time, the entire District of Fifty-One began to undergo an unprecedented change.
Countless labs were eliminated and the vacated spaces were consolidated to form a completely new laboratory. Of course, in terms of scale, it is more appropriate to call it an experimental base. All sorts of unnoticed equipment began to be shipped to the base in large quantities. In the beginning, it was just a variety of spectrometers, isotope detection, carbon atom detection, and other categories of equipment. But soon after, various biological culture tanks, genetically engineered equipment were also brought in. The entire base became an experimental base in the truest sense of the word.
At the same time, the security level of the base has been raised to an unprecedented level. An entire armored brigade is stationed directly here, along with matching air support and a variety of latest drones patrolling hundreds of kilometers around the base 24 hours a day.
Perhaps the secrecy is too good, and the entire base has never experienced any real threat in years. Until this day, a red alert suddenly lit up in the base. Three perimeter alert points at the base, at the same time lost contact. Those three warning points were located in a small town in Lincolnshire. Base security immediately tried all means to get in touch with the town, but all of them failed. There was not the slightest message coming out of the town, as if all the people were dead.
Through satellite imagery, it appears that the entire town has been attacked by some unknown weapon.
An armored unit was sent to the town, while a biochemical unit was also dispatched. After all, judging from satellite imagery, there is a great possibility that the town will be attacked by biological weapons.
The sight of the town stunned all the soldiers who entered. Those distorted faces were as if they had experienced the most terrible punishment of time. But none of the corpses had any wounds.
"What the hell is going on here?" The officer who led the team couldn't help but muttered to himself. Due to the heavy gas mask, his self-talk was not heard. The biochemical troops behind them also began their own work. They laid out various instruments and collected all the remaining clues. Samples were taken from various corpses at the same time.
"Did you find anything?"
"It's hard to say that our instruments detected an unusual wave. is not within any known scope known to us. ”
"In addition, there was a slight shift in the gravitational field. But it is impossible to tell what exactly caused it. With our technical means, it is not yet possible to explain this gravity shift. ”
While the two of them were discussing, the subordinates on the side were scattering in all directions, collecting different samples. Since the soldiers have determined that there are no risk factors, many researchers have counted certain buildings for collection alone.
What no one noticed was that some unknown researcher had been in a building for a long time. When he came out, something seemed different.
The first wave of sample collection lasted only about half an hour. The first biological samples will be sent directly back to the base for further analysis. The rest will set up a temporary command center here, ready for a long-term station.
Several researchers returned to the base with the first batch of samples. Everyone's disgust was dull, after all, the strange death of everyone in the whole town was obviously not a happy thing.
The guards at the base were quite dutiful, although it had been determined that this was the previous transporter. But the guards still asked everyone to lift their helmets and check them one by one. After one of the researchers at the back lifted the helmet, the examining soldier was visibly stunned for a moment, but then returned to normal. Signal to the guards in front of you to let them go.
All of the core labs in Area 51 are located underground. After passing through an elevator that is tens of meters deep. Finally reached the core of the base.
"Send the sample to the lab, and I'll do a briefing first. Laboratory convergence. The leader of the team gave a simple order. Then he left alone. The rest of the people walked to the lab with the samples.
"Hey, Billy, do you know where they put the crystals?" One researcher suddenly thought of another and asked.
"Of course it's in Zone D, have you forgotten? Only the D zone uses a special radiation resistant coating. So definitely there. It's an open secret in the base. ”
"I see, no wonder I can't sense it."
"What are you talking about? Man, wait a minute, you said induction? You're not Joe, who are you? ”
"You shouldn't have reacted so quickly." Lin Xuan lifted his helmet, revealing a face that was exactly the same as that of the man named Qiao. But this face soon became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a Yanzhou face.
"What's going on? You ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw his seven orifices bleeding. The last few words were stuck straight in the throat. Then a tremor came from his body. In an instant, all the lights and monitoring equipment in the entire base were dimmed. The entire base was plunged into darkness for a short time. The more sophisticated the equipment, the more afraid it is of this subtle vibration. Lin Xuan's hand shock wave was specifically aimed at these high-tech devices. It only takes a small amount of mana to get enough results.
"D-Zone?" Lin Xuan muttered to himself.
After about ten seconds, the base's backup power was activated. But with the exception of a handful of emergency standby lights, all lighting fixtures have been broken from within. The communication device was completely paralyzed.
Sector D staff are frantically calling for help.
"This is Zone D, and we're under attack and calling for backup." But there was no echo on the intercom except for the rustling of electricity.
There was a bang, and a violent explosion came. A security door in Area D was torn to pieces by Lin Xuan. At this time, Lin Xuan had already begun to vaguely sense the existence of the crystal. It looks like the special paint they used doesn't completely block the radiation from the crystal.
"Found you." Lin Xuan walked directly in the direction of the crystal according to his own induction.
Outside the base, a violent roar rang out again. Andrew's figure cut through the clouds and made a sharp descent into the base.
"What happened?" Seeing the chaos in the base, Andrew couldn't help but ask.
"The base was invaded, and an explosion was heard in the direction of Area D. But all the monitoring equipment, as well as the lighting, were destroyed. We don't know exactly what's going on, the special forces have already entered, and there is no more news yet. ”
"I'm afraid, there won't be any news coming out." Andrew spoke.
"What do you mean?"
But Andrew did not continue to respond to him, and just quickly passed through the emergency entrance and exit, and entered the interior of the base.
Lin Xuan passed past the corpses of a group of special combat soldiers, and finally walked to the deepest part of the base. A huge iron gate stopped in front of him. An iron gate without any high-tech elements, a purely mechanical structure. There is no possibility of tricks, only to use absolute power to open. This is an emergency security device.
It's a pity that this iron gate is still a little inadequate when facing a magician. Lin Xuan's hands drew a strange magic circle in mid-air, and then with a push of both hands, the entire magic circle merged into the iron gate. Immediately after that, with Lin Xuan's will, the iron gate began to deform.
The result of the combination of alchemy and energy shaping spells, it is possible to change the form of a substance. However, it has no effect on the vast majority of magic metals. It's a pity that the iron gate in front of you obviously didn't take this into account.
The massive iron door slowly twisted, and finally an entrance appeared for people to pass through. Lin Xuan walked into the room. The crystal was right in front of him, surrounded by a dozen instruments that had fallen out of service. Lin Xuan took a step and was about to move forward, but then stopped again.
He looked back behind him, and a figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
"Long time no see, Andrew."
"You know me?" Andrew was a little surprised, he had seen Lin Xuan's photos, so he knew about Lin Xuan's existence. But Lin Xuan shouldn't know him.
"Of course I do. How do you think I got the power? ”
"Do you know what that is?" Andrew gestured to the crystal.
"I'm here to figure out what it is. Anyway, you've been studying it for so long, haven't you figured out what it is? ”
"There hasn't been the slightest progress. Its molecular structure does not match that of any known substance. It constantly emits some kind of vector wave, which seems to have some kind of pattern, but it is completely indecipherable. His waves are capable of producing some kind of mutation in the human brain to give them superpowers, but it seems that not all people can survive the mutation intact. Andrew meant something.
"I can do a whole new test on it in a different way. So you mind if I take it? ”
Andrew looked at Lin Xuan with a smile, and the meaning he expressed was very clear.
"Well, there's still a fight at the end. Anyway, don't you call out the other two? ”
"Strange, you seem to be very aware of our existence. Even knew there were three of us. But you can rest assured that I'm the only one here today. So you don't have to worry about them at all. ”
"You look confident." Lin Xuan said.
"Without the confidence you imagined, at least I wouldn't be able to do it easily." The dark road pointed to the hole in the iron gate. The iron door, which is 30 centimeters thick, is twisted into that shape, which is indeed quite shocking.
"If you can't do it easily, you can do it. It's just a bit of effort. Lin Xuan said this, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart, even if he was thinking alone, it was absolutely impossible to do it.
"To be honest, I haven't tried it, but I think it's pretty much the same." As soon as Andrew's words fell, Lin Xuan only felt a palpitation. The whole body is full of mana, and all defensive formations are running at full power. I saw an iron pipe suddenly hit him in the back. And he didn't even notice it before that. This alone was enough to prove that the other party's application of pure spiritual power had far surpassed him.
Lin Xuan silently recited the incantation, and in an instant, countless electric lights appeared in the air around him. Using his own magic power to activate and amplify the free arc in the air, instantly creating an area filled with electricity, this technique was called a 'lightning field' by Lin Xuan.
Andrew was clearly affected by the lightning field. But he apparently also has some kind of absolutely defensive skill. With just a frown, he launched a counterattack. For a while, all the items in the entire room floated, and in the next second, they attacked Lin Xuan from all directions. Lin Xuan propped up the magic shield, but immediately felt a huge pressure. Immediately changed his strategy, only to see the ground under Andrew's feet suddenly roll and begin to sink. Andrew immediately allowed himself to float and dodged Lin Xuan's blow. But this momentary distraction also made Lin Xuan attack out of his range.
Lin Xuan no longer kept his hands, one in both hands. Standard nouveau riche cast. From magic missiles, to fireballs, to ice arrows, to particle balls, dozens of low-level spells bombarded in turn, and Andrew was also in a hurry for a while. The main reason is that Lin Xuan's ability is not at all like the one he has in his impression. Moreover, the above attacks were just buying time, and Lin Xuan had already silently recited the spell in his heart and began to prepare a targeted spell.
Telekinesis can block all elemental magic. Moreover, the enchanting spirit spell is only tickling the strength of Yue's mental power. The only way to end the battle as quickly as possible is to use targeted spells that the opponent cannot defend against.
Andrew stopped all the elemental magic, but the next moment he felt some kind of indescribable horror coming from behind him. In the shadows, countless twisted tentacles suddenly stretched out, binding Andrew before he could react. Andrew was horrified to find that not only his limbs, but also his telekinesis seemed to be somewhat restrained at the moment of being trapped.
Magic itself is illogical. Many Scientology folks are always clamoring that science can explain everything, but science obviously can't solve the phenomenon of how shadows can bind entities. Telekinesis can resist all logical attacks, but he can't block the attacks of the Abyss Shadow. The dark aura attached to Shadow Touch is also capable of suppressing all positive energy. Definitely the nemesis of all non-divisional professions.
