"Antique, there's one more thing I don't understand. Since the truth is like this, what Fang Tianming brought back is actually crucial. But why are you pretending to fight for the crystal pyramid? Huang Ying, who was snuggled in Shi Qianjun's arms, asked softly.

"That's just a gesture, the real value of the crystal pyramid is not here. In fact, no matter who gets it, the end result is the same for the planet. Shi Qianjun said indifferently, "The so-called thing that determines the fate of the earth, in fact, really means that only by letting it continue to sleep quietly will the earth be safe, once it is awakened, no matter who it falls into, the end of the earth is already doomed......"

……

"The latest statistics have come out, and I'll pass them on to you." A short man's voice came from the communicator, "Lieutenant General Li Ruoyun will report back to you later. ”

Xiang Tianxiao and the white-haired old woman on the display screen glanced at each other, and each looked at the information they had just received in front of them.

Text, data, pictures, videos.

When all the information came together, they were presented with a terrible result!

After a cursory glance, the two looked at each other again, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.

At this time, the display screen in front of Xiang Tianxiao changed again, and Li Ruoyun applied to join the video call between him and the white-haired old woman. After the "permission" command was issued, Li Ruoyun's image also appeared on the display screen.

With years of understanding of this subordinate, Xiang Tianxiao could see at a glance the anxiety hidden between the eyebrows of the beautiful lieutenant general.

Although it was only a remote video conversation, Li Ruoyun still gave a standard military salute to Xiang Tianxiao and the white-haired old woman on the screen: "Marshal, sir, Li Ruoyun came to report!" ”

Xiang Tianxiao waved his hand and urged: "In extraordinary times, these red tapes will be waived and go straight to the point!" ”

"Yes!" Li Ruoyun was not verbose, immediately omitted the opening remarks, and began to report, "At present, there are seven confirmed locations of the incident, and it is not clear whether there are more, and the special services are still searching with all their might." However, given that all seven of the known sites are accompanied by significant catastrophic phenomena, if this is a consistent feature, it is unlikely that there will be an omission. ”

Xiang Tianxiao nodded slightly to his subordinates: "Well, inform the special service team, the stakes are very important, and there is no room for mistakes, let them continue to search, don't relax!" ”

"Understood!"

Xiang Tianxiao said in a deep voice: "Introduce the situation of these seven places. That's what he's most concerned about at the moment.

"Four of the seven sites that have been identified so far are the Antarctic, the Arctic, the Himalayas, and the Mariana Trench. Due to their remote and sparsely populated locations, the damage caused by these four locations is not great. But the other three sites are located in the heart of the city, two of which are under the jurisdiction of the Western Side and one of which is under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Side. ”

"At each of the locations where the incident occurred, a mysterious building appeared. The seven buildings vary in shape, from a huge gate-shaped building hundreds of meters high, to a circular platform the size of a skyscraper, to a square altar, to a huge pyramid. According to the comparison of data, these seven buildings are very similar to the seven portals on the planet XH-12, except that the seven buildings that appear on Earth do not produce any energy fluctuations. Since their appearance, they have remained silent, unresponsive, and have not observed any anomalies from their appearance. ”

"So, what about the casualties?" The white-haired old woman asked.

Li Ruoyun's face darkened: "Near the area where each 'door' appeared, there were earthquakes ranging from 7.9 to 8.3 magnitude. Fortunately, the "gates" that appear in the city are very fatal. At present, according to rough statistics, the death toll in each city where the "gate" appears is more than 50,000, the total number of missing and injured people exceeds 300,000, and the total number of dead and injured in the three cities has exceeded one million. ”

The white-haired old woman's body trembled, and her eyebrows condensed. But she just nodded, signaling understanding, and didn't say anything more.

Xiang Tianxiao pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you analyze the way and reason why these seven 'doors' appeared?"

Li Ruoyun showed a difficult look on his face: "The technical department is already running at full capacity, but the time is too rushed, and there is no progress yet." And ......," she hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I personally estimate that with the existing technology on our earth, it will be difficult to make ideal progress in a short period of time. ”

Xiang Tianxiao nodded, not showing a surprised expression. He was very aware of the technological level of the earth, and Li Ruoyun's answer was expected by him.

If there is no fateful day, without the downed spaceship, relying on their own exploration and development, human science and technology will not be able to reach its current heights in another hundred years. However, although it is advancing by leaps and bounds, it lacks sufficient accumulation and precipitation, and although the application technology is developing rapidly, it is a fatal weakness in terms of basic theory. And this is not something that can be solved overnight.

"Ordered them to give it their all. You don't need to put too much pressure on them, though. Xiang Tianxiao admonished.

"Understood." Li Ruoyun showed a clear look.

"You go get busy first, and report new discoveries in time." The main problem has been understood, and Xiang Tianxiao doesn't want to take up too much of Li Ruoyun's time. Searching the globe, maintaining order in the cataclysmic areas, rescuing the injured, and summarizing and analyzing all kinds of intelligence, Li Ruoyun has too much work to do.

"Yes!" After another military salute, Li Ruoyun ended the call.

When Li Ruoyun's image disappeared, Xiang Tianxiao turned his gaze to the white-haired old woman: "Leave these tasks to Lieutenant General Li Ruoyun, you can rest assured that she will handle it." ”

The white-haired old woman nodded: "Lieutenant General Li is a rare talent, I believe in her." ”

"Then, the discussion on this matter has come to an end for the time being," Xiang Tianxiao suddenly changed his words, "Another very important issue should be decided now." ”

"What do you mean?" The white-haired old woman asked.

"Of course, it's about the planet XH-12."

"Planet XH-12?" The white-haired old woman was a little puzzled, "Aren't you on your way there, of course the affairs there will be handled by you." ”

"There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you and hear your opinion." Xiang Tianxiao said with a serious expression.

"What is it?"

"The total number of participants in this holy police assessment is 512, of which 20 are the personnel we have inserted, all of whom are soldiers of the ninth and tenth levels. As of now, the communications department has lost contact with all of the personnel we have planted on that planet, and there are multiple indications that they are now dead. According to the remote human vital sign sensor, there are only four humans left alive there, and judging from the vital signs, all of them are awakened, that is, none of them are the people we have inserted. Xiang Tianxiao stared into the eyes of the white-haired old woman on the display screen, and said slowly, "What I want to say is, do you want to activate the teleportation device and pick up these four last survivors from there?" Catastrophe has already occurred on Earth, and it has become pointless to continue the blockade of that planet. And if these survivors can come back, they may be able to provide us with more valuable clues. ”

The white-haired old woman hesitated for a while, but finally shook her head: "No, I can't agree." What if one of them gets the Legacy Crystal? You must not risk letting that terrible thing come to Earth to save people. No matter how precious the life of the Awakened is, it cannot be compared to the entire Earth. ”

Xiang Tianxiao sighed and didn't insist on arguing any longer. The white-haired old woman's answer was expected by him, and he knew very well that no one would agree with him even if the matter was brought to the joint council. For them, no matter how powerful the Awakened are, they are just tools in their hands after all.

Xiang Tianxiao sighed in his heart and turned his attention to the work in front of him.

There is so little I can do for a few children on the planet XH-12, and now I can only hope that they can escape on their own......
