Several large armed transport aircraft flew from the institute to the southwest.

In addition to Liang Chao and Li Hongwei, there are also expert teams and security personnel from the research institute.

For the convenience of this trip, Liang Chao also said hello to Wang Wei, under his authorization...

The Federation's troops stationed near the Outer Regions of the Third Age also rushed to the coordinates and waited for orders.

Originally, I was worried that I would encounter an attack by foreign creatures on the road, but because the route was relatively deep and it was far away from the Eastern Theater, I did not encounter an attack by foreign creatures until the border of the Great Desert.

At this time, Liang Chao stood at the window of the transport plane with his hands in his hands, looking down at the boundless yellow sand and Gobi below, and asked casually: "In the Third Era, here is a desert?" ”

"It's not..."

Li Hongwei shook his head and explained: "The Third Age is also the center of the entire continent like the current research institute, and the geomorphological changes are due to the Soaring Technology we have developed.

The 'Obelisk' has the effect of extracting the energy of the leylines, and this energy can be blessed to the human body, which is what I call the Ascendant.

The disadvantage is that the energy of the leylines is excessively extracted, which will lead to soil erosion and become the Gobi landform. ”

Liang Chao nodded thoughtfully...

"Fishing with all your might?"

"Sort of."

Li Hongwei pondered for a while and said, "In fact, as long as you don't extract too much, the leyline energy will slowly recover over time.

It's just that the empire at that time had been at war with foreign creatures for many years, with heavy casualties, and there was no choice.

The existing combat power can only be strengthened by the method of 'fishing with exhaustion', and the last bit of leyline energy in this land was also drained at that time.

This land is like dead, losing its active and regenerative properties, which is the main reason why the great desert landform has not changed for hundreds of millions of years. ”

Liang Chao nodded in understanding.

After all, empires are about to collapse, civilizations are about to break, who will pay attention to the problem of 'environmental protection'?

As if thinking of something, he turned around and asked, "Both the Federation and the Research Institute have sent people to investigate near the Outer Realm battlefield of the Third Age, and the local Mosa people say that there has been an earthquake, and a city has risen from the ground.

It was just a little strange at the time, but it didn't feel anything special, and now that I think about it, what the Mosas said about a city rising from the ground, was it a 'monolith'? ”

"Yes......"

Li Hongwei nodded and said, "When I sensed the 'monolith', it was still buried deep underground, and it was inevitable that there would be some visions when it was summoned, and then that area was covered up by me using the mirage method. ”

"No wonder."

Liang Chao nodded thoughtfully.

At that time, the investigation team of the Special Clearance Bureau checked and did not find any problems, and after he warned Wang Wei, he sent the garrison to investigate, but still found no problems.

It makes sense...

The armed transport plane soon flew to the coordinates specified by Li Hongwei, and as the fuselage descended, it was faintly visible that there were all-terrain armored vehicles and tents from the federal military district on the ground.

It's just that...

The signal went out, but it showed that no one answered...

Liang Chao frowned and glanced at Li Hongwei on the side, then used the communication equipment to link to several other transport planes, and said, "Be careful, the person in charge of answering may have an accident." ”

And Li Hongwei looked inexplicably there, looking a little dazed, he seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly ran to the window of the transport plane...

I want to know what happened next.

When he saw that some of the all-terrain armored vehicles below had been overturned, and some of the marching tents were riddled with holes, his face darkened a little.

Because this is the coordinate point provided by him, everything that happens must be counted on his head!!

Several armed transport planes fell, and the cabin was opened, and the people from the security department took the lead in coming out, and then the soldiers divided into two routes, one went to the barracks to investigate the situation, and some were on guard all around.

After Li Hongwei got off the plane, he ran to the barracks to check the situation as soon as possible, and before he got there, he smelled a smell of blood, and when he saw the barracks full of corpses, his face turned pale.

He saw that the people from the security department of the research institute pointed the guns in their hands at him, and also saw that the face of Councilor Liang, who came later, was gloomy and almost dripping.

His lips pursed, but he didn't know how to explain it.

The coordinates provided by yourself, dead man!!

Liang Chao took a deep look at him, and then went to check the corpse...

Most of the people in the barracks were ordinary people, and the death was basically the same, and the corpses were riddled with holes, as if they had been pierced by bullets, but there was no bullet in the wound, but gravel and gravel.

Li Hongwei's face was even more ugly, and it felt like a puddle of yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants...

Liang Chao glanced at him, and said in an unkind tone: "This is the coordinate you provided, aren't you going to give me an explanation?" ”

"It's... This... I didn't do it..."

Li Hongwei only felt a tingling on his scalp, and defended himself: "When I was in the research institute, I was monitored throughout the whole process, and I was with you all the way out of the research institute, and I never had contact with the outside world." ”

"Who did that?"

Liang Chao snorted coldly and said: "From the time you provided the coordinates to the time we came, it was less than two days before and after, and the people of the military region were already stationed in the Great Desert, and they arrived earlier than us to respond.

But they drove slowly, even if they arrived earlier than us, at most a day and a half earlier.

At this point in time, in this position, and with these injuries, you can't think of who did it? ”

Li Hongwei thought for a while, seemed to think of something, and asked with bright eyes: "Can I take the liberty of asking you a question?" ”

Seeing that Liang Chao's face was unhappy, he hurriedly added: "It's about the perpetrator." ”

Liang Chao nodded, "Ask." ”

"After the battle in the third ring of the research institute, what did you do with everyone other than me?"

"Others?"

Liang Chao frowned in surprise, and also recalled the situation at that time.

At that time, in addition to Li Hongwei, the main master, who was making trouble in the third ring of the research institute, the kobold chief priest and the crocodile man guard general were all conscious bodies.

The second is the crystal scorpion, which was also beaten half to death by himself, and was 'traded' to the No. 1 body and transformed into a 'harvester'.

Other than that, it seems that they are all sand soldiers......

Wrong!

It seems that there is still a person missing!

A dark-skinned woman!!

At that time, the battle was relatively fierce, and his attention was all focused on Li Hongwei, the kobold high priest, the crocodile town guard general, and the crystal scorpion.

The dark-skinned woman's strength is average, that is, the level of the first to enter the third order, plus the 'detachment' state at that time, she was dizzy, and she thought that she had been solved by the people of the research institute, so she didn't care about her!

Liang Chao said with a slight gaze: "It seems that a woman with dark skin has been missed!" ”
