Chapter 18: Inner Earth
Two days later, Zhan Zhirui called Gao Feng to the office again, and said apologetically: "I have a task, I'm really sorry to trouble you so soon." ”
Gao Feng smiled: "If you have any tasks, just say it, I'm your subordinate now, I'm not used to being too polite." ”
"Recently, there have been large-scale collapses in karst caves in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, and the troops have now cordoned off the scene. We suspect that there is an entrance to the Underworld. ”
"The Underworld? What is that? ”
Zhan Zhirui took out a piece of information, handed it to Gao Feng and said: "Our earth is not solid as the textbook says, there are always highly intelligent creatures living in the underground and under the sea, and they claim to be Preuss. They are a group of people who have fallen into the realm of the underworld, and in the Buddhist scriptures, they are also called asuras. ”
Gao Feng looked down at the information, according to it, not only the earth, but also many planets were hollow. Planets are generally formed by the hot air masses thrown out by the sun into orbit around the sun, and their outer shells are affected by gravity and centrifugal force, and the poles remain open to the hollow interior. If an artificial sun were to be built here, it would create a geocentric realm that is perfect for plant growth and human life. The Prelesss claim to be Sirius from the Milky Way. In Star Wars, which broke out 50,000 years ago, the planet was devastated. They wandered in the universe and eventually moved to the center of the earth.
There are currently hundreds of thousands of Preese people living in the Inner Earth. There are also Preese people who were reincarnated as humans and came to the surface of the earth. There are also some Preese people who live on Jupiter and Mars. Due to the sparse population, the Pres have cultivated a large number of biochemical warriors and mutant beasts, such as the legendary Yakshas, Rakshasa and reptilian people, vampire zombies, etc., all of which they have developed. Most of these creatures have low IQs and are flesh-hungry, but they are extremely powerful. Because they have been stocked in underground caves or seabed for a long time, they are very afraid of sunlight, so they rarely move on the ground.
Zhan Zhirui continued: "According to the information we have obtained, the Americans have been in contact and cooperation with the Pres during World War II, and the rapid development of high technology in the United States in recent years is very likely to be related to the help of the Prelais. ,”
"Sure enough, the level is different, and the secrets you come into contact with are also different!" Gao Feng sighed in his heart, he put down the information and asked, "What is our mission?" ”
"In fact, in the 30s of the 20th century, the geocentric civilization closed the entrances to many tunnels and passages. In the year 2000, the two major entrances to the Centric Realm (i.e., the North and South Poles) were also closed, as some human governments on the surface detonated at the poles in an attempt to blow up the entrances to the center of the Earth. The Prelais set up magnetic fields near the entrance to the poles to further mask the entrance...... Originally, I thought that there was nothing to do with each other, but in the past year, all parts of the world have found that the underground passages have been reopened, and there are as many as seven or eight in my country alone. Our mission this time is to send a small team to try to enter the center of the earth and gather relevant information. ”
"I obey the organization." Gao Feng nodded and said, although Dais, who gave him three gifts, said that he was the reincarnation of Prince Pres, but in his heart, he still regarded himself as a member of the human race, and there were his relatives and friends here. And the previous life seems too far away.
"Good! You go back today and get some rest, and we'll leave tomorrow morning." ”
The mountainous area where the cave collapsed is only more than 230 kilometers away from Yangcheng, and it takes less than four hours to reach the destination by car, and the entire mountainous area has been controlled by armed soldiers.
Gao Feng got out of the car with Zhan Zhirui, and there was already an officer waiting for him, saluted Zhan Zhirui, turned around and pointed to a huge army-green tent in the distance and said, "Team Leader Zhan, Division Commander Li has been waiting for you in the tent for a long time. ”
The tent was huge, covering two or three acres of land, and there was a constant noise coming from the tent. The tent was also covered with stones and a huge wall ten feet high.
The first to greet him was a middle-aged officer, who was not tall but sturdy, with big eyes, a high nose, and thick lips.
"Lao Zhan, I can look forward to you." The middle-aged officer held Zhan Zhirui's hand with a relieved expression.
Zhan Zhirui was obviously very familiar with him, and while introducing the personnel on both sides, he asked, "Senior Commander Li, what's the situation?" ”
"The collapse occurred in a four-layered pyramid-shaped karst cave, and now the upper, middle, and lower layers of the karst cave have collapsed, leaving only the alluvium of the bottom pit......" Master Li paused, and said: "In the middle of last night, a monster with green fangs and wings flew out of the cave. The monster was so fast and thick that ordinary bullets couldn't hurt it, and we sacrificed more than a dozen soldiers to kill it with a special armor-piercing blaster. ”
"Where is the body?" Zhan Zhirui asked.
Master Li led everyone to the corner of the tent, uncovered a green canvas, and sure enough, he saw a swarthy monster, similar in size to a human, about two meters tall, with black scales all over his body, a single horn on his forehead, a pair of meat wings similar to a bat, and a tail covered with scales! Fatal was a bloody hole in the chest that had been blasted open by an armor-piercing blasting projectile. The blue blood has clotted.
"Flying Yaksha!" Duguhong's voice sounded in Gao Feng's mind.
"You've seen it before?" Gao Feng asked with his mind.
"When the old man was still the head of the Shangqing faction, there was a great drought in western Sichuan, there were droughts, zombies were infested, the old man was invited by the master of Zhengtian, and more than ten Taoist sects went to eliminate demons, and after the last encounter, he met a flying yaksha, if it wasn't for the Zhengtian master and the Maoshan master to join forces to perform the Five Thunder Rectification, I'm afraid no one can help it."
"The legendary Flying Yaksha turned out to be a biochemical warrior developed by the Presians? What is their purpose? Gao Feng fell into deep thought.
Zhan Zhirui took a military thorn from the side and stabbed it on the monster's corpse a few times, only to hear the sound of "Qiang Qiang", and even the monster's scales failed to break.
Division Commander Li had a sad face and said, "What I'm most worried about now is how many such monsters there are below, if there are too many of them, I'm afraid the troops won't be able to resist it." ”
Zhan Zhirui smiled and comforted him: "According to our intelligence, the number of this kind of flying monsters is not too much, the most important thing at the moment is to figure out what type of monsters are below as soon as possible, and how many are there?" ”
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to go down and check it out, Lao Li, you assign a squad of special soldiers to follow me."
"No problem." Division Commander Li turned around and instructed his assistant: "You go and inform Zhang Lei and ask him to bring his squad over to report." ”
Zhan Zhirui asked everyone to take a break, and after lunch, Division Commander Li sent someone to send some equipment, including gas masks, powerful waterproof flashlights, first-aid gauze, fortification shovels, nylon ropes, and so on.
Gao Feng had a rucksack full of equipment on his back, and secretly took out the Purple Moon Dagger from his spatial belt and put it on his waist in case of emergency.
When a group of more than a dozen of them came to the collapsed hole, they saw that fortifications had been built seven verticals and eight depths, with large and small weapons cross-equipped, and even artillery and tanks on the periphery.
Division Commander Li shook Zhan Zhirui's hand, gave a military salute, and said, "Be careful first, pay attention to safety!" ”
A simple elevator was installed at the entrance of the cave to reach the bottom of the cave, and the special squad leader named Zhang Lei took ten soldiers to go down first. Then pick up Zhan Zhirui, Lin Xiang, Gao Feng and a few.
The elevator slowly descended towards the cave, and all the way down, there were still a row of light bulbs on the stone wall at the edge of the cave, and it didn't feel too dark. The bottom of the cave is full of collapsed lava and broken stalactites, and in the depths of the cave, there is the sound of flowing water in the river, which is particularly clear and weird.
Zhan Zhirui and Zhang Lei led eight soldiers armed with miniature submachine guns to open the way. Gao Feng, Lin Xiang and several fighters with heavy weapons followed. Maintain a certain formation and grope forward cautiously.
The cave is very spacious, except for the sound of running water, only the sound of heavier and heavier breathing and the footsteps of thick-soled fur boots on the stones, the atmosphere seems a little oppressive.
Gao Feng held the dispensed pistol tightly, his heart was beating very hard, his legs and stomach seemed to be trembling, he has never been a bold person, he likes to be quiet and comfortable, he likes to be unrestrained, if it weren't for Yunni, he wouldn't have joined a dangerous organization like the National Security Bureau------ and at the moment, in a big dark hole, countless dark creatures are lurking with their minions, I don't know which corner they are hiding in, looking at you coldly, ready to sneak attack at any time. Why can't he help but be afraid?
