"Lieutenant Zao Wou-ki, the leader of the 303rd Special Operations Squad of 'Canglong', has come to report!"

With his legs together, his waist straight, and his five fingers on his temples like knives, Zao Wou-Ki gave a military salute in an extremely standard manner, and then stood in front of Zhang Zhen.

"Lieutenant? It seems that you haven't noticed the change in your rank? Sitting on the hardwood seat, Zhang Zhen raised his head to look at Zao Wou-Ki and said with a smile.

"Major? When did this happen? ”

Zao Wou-Ki glanced at it and immediately noticed a yellow star on his shoulder.

Zhang Zhen sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "The fallen soldiers have been promoted to three levels, not only you but also those soldiers who died because of it. And this is the only thing we can do! ”

"I see?"

Zao Wouji's expression darkened, but he felt sad, after all, the team he led was sacrificed, and he was left alone.

Zhang Zhen persuaded: "Don't blame yourself for this. After all, they are warriors, and dying on the battlefield may be fate. After saying that, he asked, "But, then again, what do you think about that wormhole?" ”

"Finally getting to the point?" Zao Wouji's eyebrows were also twisted together for a while, he thought about it and carefully considered his words, and said: "In my opinion, for the time being, it is best to just observe and study, as for the so-called development of otherworldly resources, put it aside for the time being, and first determine what the other party's world is like." ”

"Why?"

"It's very simple, we don't know the origin of the wormhole, we don't understand the closure of the wormhole, we don't know anything except that it's here. As for the other world, although we haven't been scouting, it's a very dangerous world in my opinion. So I suggest that it is better to seal off the whole wormhole and prevent anyone from observing it! ”

"Is that so? But many people already know about this matter. After all, you've been in a coma for a whole month. One month is enough to make a lot of changes. ”

"A month?" Zao Wou-Ki couldn't help but feel smacked, but he didn't expect that he would be in a coma for a month.

"That's right, although the wormhole thing hasn't been reported to the people yet. But the Senate and others already knew, and some people also began to be active, wanting to explore the resources of the other world, after all, on the other side of this wormhole, there is a whole world of resources. It's just that I've never been sure about the risks involved, so I've put all the questions on my face and wanted to ask for your opinion. ”

"It's better not to."

Zao Wou-Ki smiled bitterly, and his mind couldn't help but flash the galloping warrior.

He was unusually jealous at the thought of the guy who suddenly appeared, and after seeing things like strange fruits, strange tricks, and strange humans, he instinctively realized that perhaps the world on the other side was far more complicated than everyone imagined.

At least this world has a complete civilization, even if it may seem backward, but this does not mean that its strength is necessarily weak, at least compared to the weak human beings, those who have extremely high physical fitness are quite powerful.

"Why?" Zhang Zhen asked again.

He understands the character and abilities of this right-hand man, and he knows that he is definitely not a brave and unscrupulous man.

And what kind of thing exists in that world that can make this person who graduated from the National Defense University with the first place in the year and has been awarded the Military Merit Medal many times feel terrified?

Zao Wou-Ki pondered his words and explained, "Because we don't know exactly what is on the other side. We do not understand its language, its civilization, its social structure, its individual power, and even its most basic environmental composition and physical laws. And if I had rushed in without investigating this, I would have suffered serious losses. ”

Zhang Zhen nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Indeed." But you know what? In fact, in addition to this wormhole, two more wormholes have been opened. ”

"Two more?" Zao Wou-Ki was also extremely surprised and asked.

"That's right, in addition to the Altai Mountains, where we are located, similar wormholes have been found in the Kodinara Mountains of the United States of China and the Great Dividing Range of the Great Song Empire. So both the Senate and the Prime Minister's Cabinet have moved a little bit to get the resources of the other world first, so that they can fight against these two countries. After all, you should understand what the resources of a world mean to an empire like us! ”

Zhang Zhen sighed lightly, wrinkles appeared on his already old face, and he said again.

After all, the reason why he sat here and relied on it as quickly as possible to build a military base that was no less than the seven bases was not only full of confusion about the other world, but also because the resources here were too tempting.

Only he had enough prestige to make the greedy Senate pause for a moment and sit down to quietly observe what kind of images these wormholes would bring.

"But there's a question here, where do these wormholes lead? Will they all lead to one world, or to other worlds, or will these wormholes continue to appear? And more importantly, what kind of world is behind those wormholes? If you start a war rashly because of resources, then you will drag all the power of the country into it, and ignore the situation of the country and the earth, and you are afraid that you will pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. ”

Zao Wou-Ki took a deep breath, suppressed the gloom in his eyes, and said, "After all, the Gulf War is not far away, and it is not a good choice to rush into war with the other world. ”

"That's right, so I've been waiting for you, waiting for you to wake up. After all, as the first person in contact, you are entitled to give an unbiased evaluation of the other side. ”

Zhang sat quietly in his seat, although he was in his fifties and his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were still bright, looking at Zao Wou-Ki.

Zao Wou-Ki immediately replied: "Now it's best to form an expedition group and enter the Otherworld to collect the resources inside, as for other things, it's best to focus on defense at the moment." After all, in the other world, there are human beings with high force value! ”

"High force value? How strong is he? Zhang Zhen's eyes suddenly tightened and asked.

Zao Wou-Ki said in a deep voice: "One person killed all of us, and his combat power is comparable to that of a tank. As for if there is a stronger one, I'm not sure! After all, according to the information, that person only belongs to the opponents of the middle and lower classes. As for the higher-level Heaven Rank powerhouses, what kind of strength do they have, and how many are they? We don't understand this information either! ”

"I see, it seems that the situation is getting more and more complicated! And the combat effectiveness of a single individual is comparable to that of a tank? That's a lot to do! ”

Zhang Zhen crossed his hands to the place where he was chin, and he couldn't see what he was thinking under the black-framed reading glasses.

Zao Wou-Ki suggested, "That's right, so I suggest that it's best to wait until the expedition is formed before entering, otherwise even if you stay here, you must not set foot in another world." In contrast, the nature of the wormhole itself is also worth studying, and it does not need to be limited to the so-called resources. ”

"Is that so? But what do you think of your body? Zhang Zhen raised his head again, looked at Zao Wou-Ki with interest, and asked.

"Fitness?" Zao Wou-Ki waved his hand lightly, but brought out a gust of wind, blowing all the ink paintings hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but bow his head and apologize: "It's beyond imagination!" It's just that it's not used to it yet, after all, this force is too difficult to control! ”

Zhang Zhen's eyes fell on the ink painting, although the painting no longer shook because the wind stopped, but he stared at the picture, and after a long time, he said: "Yes, this power is indeed different. But would you like to try your new powers? ”

"New powers?"

"That's right." Speaking of this, Zhang Zhen ordered in a solemn tone: "According to the drone's report, there is a city thirty kilometers away from the wormhole, and I need you to take it down as our outpost." Can you accept it? ”

Zao Wou-Ki immediately put his legs together and replied imposingly, "Of course! The subordinates will definitely complete the task. ”

Zhang Zhen nodded, and after motioning for Zao Wou-Ki to leave, Lu Chengfeng pushed open the door and handed him an experiment report.

Zhang Zhen glanced at it and asked, "Is there any progress on the 'Ladder of Progress'?" ”

"No progress! Except for 'Canglong No. 1', the rest of the volunteers all died of schizophrenia and ** collapse, without exception! Lu Chengfeng shook his head and said helplessly.

"Is that so? In other words, is he our only trump card so far? Zhang Zhen sighed lightly, but stared at the door, his deep eyes seemed to see through the door, seeing Zao Wouji's magnificent life.

Zao Wou-Ki stepped out, and through the open glass window, he immediately noticed the base under construction in the distance.

In order to discover the center of the wormhole, thousands of artillery batteries are being built within a radius of 6 kilometers.

There are 3,000 of 3,000 batteries, each with 300,000 rounds of ammunition, by blasting holes more than 10 meters deep in the hard stone, and then tying steel bars into concrete and pouring them into it, and then burying AK-630 six-barreled 30mm rapid-fire guns into them as a forward position against possible wormholes.

As for the central zone, there is a cylindrical building with a diameter of 100 meters, and it is still increasing to the extent that even at a distance of one kilometer, you can see the construction machinery moving on it, and it is clear that this is the real place that caused everything to exist, the existence of the wormhole.

"That's the building that is being built to isolate the wormhole from the outside world, and we call it 'Tianyuan'! In order to prevent the invasion of the otherworld, each layer is built to resist the level of nuclear bombs, each wall is three meters thick, and it is divided into seven layers from the inside to the outside. ”

Zhang Yue, who was walking in front, explained, and walked towards Tianyuan with Zhao Wuji: "And in its core area, we have placed three 5 million ton nuclear bombs, which are placed in three secret areas, and only the commander-in-chief of the group army, General Zhang Zhen, and the prime minister know about these three locations. And if anything happens, even if the entire base can't be defended, we will detonate a nuclear bomb and completely raze the entire area to the ground! ”

"Abyss? Hopefully, we won't fall into the abyss. ”

Zao Wou-Ki muttered slightly, jumped into the car inside the base, and stared at the buildings in the distance.

"There will be an abyss under the road of heaven."

Zhang Yue sighed lightly and sighed: "If this wormhole is not handled properly, maybe our entire world will be on the verge of collapse." ”

Zao Wou-Ki also echoed: "Of course, I hope this will end soon." ”

While talking, the two also came to the base of the Tianyuan, and on the other side was the other world that Zao Wou-Ki had accidentally entered.

It's just that last time it was a chance entry, and this time it was prepared!
