Chapter 37: The Land Version of the Bermuda Triangle (Part I)
The scene here is diametrically opposed to the picture in the imagination of the Mask Man, who originally thought that this place would be like the underworld, with no grass and strange rocks, but he did not expect that this place is full of wild flowers and birds, and it is simply a paradise, and it is difficult to connect with the Bermuda Triangle on the earth.
The masked man looked around and found no suspicious targets, so he borrowed a telescope from the regimental commander next to him. "That's... Borrow your binoculars. ”
This head of the regiment was sent by the Divine Dragon Kingdom, not only is he a woman, but he is also very good-looking. It is said that she has an amazing military talent for commanding the army to fight, and has repeatedly defeated the Shenzhou Kingdom, because she has devoted herself to the battle and has not been married until her early thirties.
The female leader took off the telescope-like object hanging from her body and handed it to the masked man. "Sir, this is a laser irradiator."
"Laser irradiator?" The masked man took it suspiciously, he had seen a button on this thing before, and thought it was just a magnification function.
"This is laser guidance, and after pressing the OK button, a laser will be launched, and my country's missile base will launch a tracking missile to carry out precision strikes on targets irradiated by the laser."
"Doesn't it disable the electronics? Why bring this? Cold sweat broke out on the back of the masked man, but fortunately he didn't press that button out of curiosity, otherwise the thousands of people here wouldn't be able to stand the birds!
"This is from the street of the artillery regiment before departure, although I don't know if it will work, but it is more appropriate to take it." The female leader's tone was categorical, and there was no joke.
"That's right, let's go." The masked man was slightly embarrassed and returned the laser irradiator to the other party.
The two infantry regiments consciously divided into two circles, the messengers and the soldiers carrying ammunition walked in the middle, the others were on guard on the perimeter, and the crowd walked towards the forest in the distance.
It was already noon when I came to the forest, and I walked in fear for a morning and found nothing, and everyone did not maintain their formation in the forest to eat dry food.
The masked man didn't know the female head of the Shenlong Kingdom, but the head of the legion on the side of the Shenzhou Kingdom was too familiar, he was Wang Zhiling with the rank of major general, and he was also the son of Wang John.
The four regimental commanders and the masked man studied the map while eating dry food, and they were faced with a serious problem, that is, the road ahead was cut off by a river more than a hundred meters wide.
The river is very fast, so it seems impossible to swim in the past, and the climate is very cool now, so even if you swim through, you are likely to catch a cold and fever.
"Why don't you go back first, I'll go alone." The masked man himself has the power of fighting spirit, and he can do anything, but he doesn't want others to know his special abilities, and having outsiders will only get in the way.
"No! It is my duty to protect you, and if I go back like this, I will not be able to account for it to the king!" The female leader decisively rejected the masked man's proposal.
"It's our shared responsibility to explore the area, and it's important to figure out why it works as early as possible so that things can go smoothly, and if we have more people, we can take care of everything." Relatively speaking, Wang Zhiling's words are more logical.
Before the masked man could speak, the communications corps of both infantry regiments came running.
"Report to the Captain! All the communication equipment is out of order, and there is no way to get in touch with the base! The signal corps of the Shenzhou Kingdom reported.
"Not only that, but even the compass is broken!" The Divine Dragon Country's communications troops complement it.
When everyone heard this, they took out their military compasses respectively, and when the compass was flattened, each compass pointed in a different direction, what a hell!
The masked man looked at Cody on his arm silently, and saw that the indicator light on Kodi had already gone out. "Where's the group of geographers coming with us?"
"I'll call him!" The female commander's staff officer saluted the masked man and ran away.
Not long after, a group of professors with thick spectacles were brought over, led by a man in his fifties, he was the most authoritative geography professor on the planet, and there was no one, his name was Xu Ruining.
Xu Ruining smiled apologetically when he saw the masked man. "I'm sorry, we were so busy discussing just now that we forgot the main purpose of coming here."
The masked man raised his hand to stop the other party's apology, and went straight to the point and said, "What about the results of the discussion?" ”
Seeing that Gu Ren didn't blame himself for coming over to report as soon as possible, Xu Ruining breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the other side of the river. "Look."
Everyone looked in the direction of Xu Ruining's finger, and although their vision was covered by lush leaves, they still saw a volcano through the gaps in the leaves.
"When we first entered this forest, we found that the magnetic field here is amazingly strong, and it is definitely not caused by ordinary minerals, so we suspect that there are many unknown metal minerals under the stratum, and after the eruption of the volcano, those minerals were brought to the surface, causing the current high-intensity magnetic field, which is one of the possibilities."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, if it was just that, it would be easy to do.
"The other one could be these trees!"
Before, everyone had to be vigilant about whether there were birds and beasts, so that they ignored these flowers and trees, and when Xu Ruining said this, everyone realized that these trees were different.
The trunks of trees are usually straight and the bark is evenly distributed, and the trunks of these trees are not only large and small, but also curved, and with the addition of branches, they look like a standing centipede from the side!
"These trees are very strange, originally the magnetic field should not be emitted from the trees, but the closer the detection instrument is to the trunk, the stronger the magnetic field strength, either these trees themselves have problems, or they absorb unknown minerals under the ground and cause mutations, or they may be caused by the high-intensity magnetic field here!"
Everyone nodded their heads frequently, and this problem is not difficult to solve, anyway, if the minerals under the ground are eradicated, the trees on the ground will also be cleared.
Xu Ruining pointed to the opposite river bank with a suspicious expression. "The third possibility is that the magnetic field is transmitted from the opposite side, because the closer to the river, the higher the magnetic field strength shown by the detection instrument, it may be that the forest area on the opposite side is wider, or there are more unidentified minerals buried under the ground on the opposite side, or there are other reasons, in short, it is impossible to conclude without research at present."
As he spoke, the sky gradually darkened, as if it was going to rain, and it stands to reason that the artificial thermal satellite should not have such a sudden change in climate, which made the masked man wonder. "How can you say that it has changed this day?"
Wang Zhiling gave the answer without thinking about it. "I used to look at the history of the time when there was a lack of materials to make this artificial thermal satellite, so sometimes the weather was unstable."
Looking at the gloomy sky, the masked man suddenly remembered the underworld, and the otherworldly planet will also make electronic devices malfunction, is it because the magnetic field is too strong? If the magnetic field on the other side of the river bank is too strong, will the animals there also have magical abilities?
"Be careful!" When it was too late, the female leader suddenly pulled out a dagger from her calf and threw it at the masked man with lightning speed!
In the eyes of others, this dart flashed away, but in the eyes of the masked man, it was as slow as a movie in slow motion, seeing that the dagger was not coming at him, he simply saved himself from dodging, and let the dagger fly over his side face, and even the whistling sound of the dagger flying past his ears could be heard!
With a "Zheng" sound, the masked man turned around, only to see the dagger nailing a green caterpillar to the trunk of the tree, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so accurate!" ”
The others were dumbfounded.
In front of everyone, the female leader pulled out the dagger, and said with some disgust: "What kind of snake is that?" It's disgusting! ”
The expressions of the others changed from stunned to shocked!
"Are you sure it's a snake?" The masked man was taken by surprise.
Before the female head could speak, there was a sudden sound of assault gun gunfire! "Da Da Da...!"
Everyone thought there was an emergency, and hurriedly ran to the source of the sound.
When they arrived at the scene, they saw a soldier shooting wildly at a large rock with an assault gun, and the soldiers who were guarding nearby were so frightened that they retreated.
When Wang Zhiling saw that the soldier was wearing their military uniform, he immediately felt embarrassed, and rushed behind the other party and shouted, "Don't hurry up and stop shooting!" ”
The soldier's bullet happened to run out, and when he heard Wang Zhiling's words, the soldier pointed at the big rock in panic and yelled. "Captain! The beast is coming! Tell the fighters to fire! ”
Everyone nearby gasped when they heard this!
"Get out of here! That's an order! The air here is poisonous! Inhaling a certain amount of poison gas will produce hallucinations! The Masked Man categorically ordered to leave.
"Tutu Tu Tu Tu...!" Just when they hesitated, another soldier picked up a submachine gun and swept at his comrades, and the soldiers who were caught off guard were shot one after another, some were killed on the spot, and some fell to the ground and wailed in pain.
"Let's go! If you don't leave, it's too late!! In desperation, the masked man yelled at them, but the sound was covered by thunder and gunfire.
The sky was full of dark clouds, and the downpour came unexpectedly, even the lush leaves could not cover it, and the dense bean raindrops smashed down on everyone's heads and faces, drenching everyone into soup in the blink of an eye.
In just a few seconds, more and more soldiers picked up their machine guns and opened fire on their comrades, and for a time everyone was in danger, and the sound of gunfire and screams became one after another.
After some psychological struggle, Wang Zhiling, who gritted his teeth, finally chose to obey the order, waved his hand, and withdrew with their soldiers.
I don't know what's going on, at such a critical moment, the female head of the group ran to the river without saying a word!
