Snow Country.

Snowflakes fell from the dim sky, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be hung with a white curtain, and the mountains, fields, and villages were shrouded in white snow.

And on top of a hill that looks unremarkable and covered in snow and ice.

Many bright searchlights constantly swept everything around, and there were constant groups of figures patrolling back and forth in the vicinity.

Their bodies were covered by heavy silver-white armor, and every part was perfectly held together, and behind them was a strange firearm.

Although the facial expression is obscured by a silver-white mask, even standing there upright can give people a sense of cold and solemn oppression.

With such careful and strict surveillance, flies don't want to fly in.

But at this moment.

A black figure slowly walked out of the vast wind and snow.

And after seeing the man who suddenly appeared, the patrol soldier who was originally on guard stopped instantly.

Peng! Pemba!

They lowered their heads and placed their left hands in fists behind their waists.

His right hand slammed into his heart with a fist, making a dull crashing sound.

Seeing this, the pace under the feet of the face numb also suddenly stopped.

A helpless smile appeared under the mask, and he secretly slandered in his heart: "Izumi won't teach the soldiers to salute me, I guess Yakumo and Xiaoxue are fooling around." ”

It feels a little weird, but ......

Military salute is also a part of military discipline and an important guarantee for maintaining the centralization and unity of the armed forces, consolidating and enhancing combat effectiveness, and accomplishing various tasks.

And even the face numbness with a steady mood couldn't help but be moved when facing the salute of these soldiers.

"Heh, this solemn sense of honor and responsibility is really a bit familiar."

The smile on the corner of his face became wanton, and he took another step and walked deeper.

He did not choose to return the greetings to the soldiers.

What he had to do as commander was to lead his soldiers to taste the fruits of victory.

This is the best reward for their loyalty.

And wait until the figure of the face numb disappears from view.

The soldiers all lowered their arms and continued their tasks.

Mian Ma walked to a black round platform in the center of the top of the mountain, and the black round platform also began to slowly move towards the interior of the snow-capped mountain below.

】

Cards, cards, cards.

As the black round platform continues to fall, the buildings inside the snow-capped mountains appear in front of the eyes.

The walls here are made of a translucent special material, and there are no gaps between the materials, as if they were a complete wall.

The thickness and material of this wall are difficult to break through even if they are bombarded with powerful ninjutsu.

To some extent, it is enough to withstand a single spiral chakra.

This is the first high-end research institute in the field of science and technology established in the land of snow, so it is named "Dawn Research Institute".

The descent from the entrance to the inner passage is about seventeen or eighteen meters high.

When Mian Ma walked out of the passage, a tall figure in a white coat walked over step by step.

It was Shennong who was beaten by Jiu Maha not long ago.

However, now he has become the second head of the Dawn Institute.

This kind of very rare scientific research talent, it is really tyrannical to kill it directly.

So the face Ma let the nine Maha leave him with half his life.

Although Shennong is now nominally the second head of the Dawn Research Institute, he is actually a semi-imprisoned person.

His body has been planted with facial hemp into the "seed", and he needs to look at his performance in the future to decide whether to lift the restriction.

"My lord, please follow me."

Shennong leaned over slightly with a respectful and kind attitude, and walked towards the interior of the research institute.

Mian Ma nodded and followed without saying a word.

The two of them walked to a fully enclosed laboratory and looked through the transparent glass wall.

I saw some heavily armed researchers, discussing something around a giant glass cylinder.

The container of the glass cylinder was the Zerotail that had been transferred back from the mobile fortress.

This is easy to contain the green liquid inside, but the potion, which is specially made for Zerotail, can prevent it from suddenly erupting and causing unnecessary casualties.

It seems to be aware of the familiar chakra on Mianma's body.

The tightly closed pale mask on Zerotail's face suddenly revealed a scarlet slit.

But after seeing the figure of the face numb.

Zerotail's huge black snake-like body instantly shrunk into a ball and remained motionless, as if it was a carefully crafted biological specimen, for fear that he would be noticed by the numbness of the face.

"Huh."

Seeing this, Mian Ma sneered: "It seems that this beast's IQ is not low, and he knows how to disguise himself as a weak person." ”

Although Zerotail was controlled by the empty country in the past, it became the core energy engine of the fortress.

But Zero Tail feeds on the negative emotions of human beings such as despair and sadness, and transforms the negative emotions of human beings into their own power and transforms them into an incomparably evil dark chakra.

Zerotail is now looking cowardly, but he's just temporarily dormant.

Its strength is not enough to rival that of the Tailed Beast now, but as long as it grows smoothly, it is only a matter of time.

However, he doesn't plan to let Zero Tail grow indefinitely.

Mian Ma looked at Zero Tail, and said in a calm tone: "Shennong, have you found a way to keep Zero Tail in a stable and long-term energy cycle supply?" ”

“…… I'm sorry, sir. ”

Shennong was silent for a moment, and his eyes flashed: "If you want to recycle the zero-tailed chakra, there is no way to do it with today's technology." ”

The Sky Nation then used decades to build a magical flying fortress with the 'Zero Tail' and the core.

The Nation of the Sky once gathered the power of the whole country to secretly capture and imprison humans, channeling their negative emotions such as sadness and despair, and this is why Zero Tail was the core energy source to build the Flying Fortress.

However, once the zero-tailed chakra is consumed, it cannot be recycled.

His face frowned, and he sighed softly: "This large battery can't be wasted." ”

The amount of energy required to move the fortress is simply too large.

You can't always catch a tailed beast as a "battery", it would be too tyrannical.

The Box of Bliss can purify a chakra with negative emotions into a normal chakra.

But Zero Tail needs a negative chakra offering, and the Box of Bliss can't meet that condition.

"If I'm not mistaken."

Mian Ma touched his chin, and secretly thought in his heart: "In the original plot, is there a character who can use the dark chakra?" ”

"It seems to be ...... Loulan"

Just when his thoughts were flying.

His body suddenly stiffened, and he subconsciously looked up at it.

"This feeling of being spied on......"
