Undercurrent Chapter Ninety-Nine: Cumulus Clouds

Cumulus Mountain, located in the holy Sima area, is the highest mountain in the region, because the peak is high into the clouds, and the perennial clouds cover the fog and it is not clear to see the top of the mountain, only the clouds and mist are piled up, so it is named.

As one of the few tourist attractions in the Holy Land Sima area, Cumulus Mountain receives thousands of tourists every day, although there are not tens of thousands.

At the foot of Mount Cumulus, ticket office.

The boy who was being led by the man excitedly looked up at the vague peak in the distance, and then stretched out his other hand to point to the location of the peak, his eyes were full of curiosity, "Dad, look, it's in the clouds, isn't it climbing to the top of the mountain, we can touch the clouds?" ”

"Yes, but you can say in advance, you have to climb up by yourself, and you can't let Dad carry you again."

The woman next to her leaned over and scratched the boy's nose and said dotingly.

"Humph! I don't need my father's help, I'm a man. ”

The man and the woman looked at each other and smiled, he smiled and touched the boy's head, tilted his head from the line to look at the ticket office not far ahead, and then turned on his phone to check the time, frowning slightly.

The opening hours of the Cumulus Mountain tourist attractions are from nine o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening, and their family has been queuing up since eight o'clock in the morning, although they are not the first people, but they also belong to the first group of people to come, and now it is almost half past nine, and there are only about a dozen people in front of them, even if it drags on, it will not be delayed for so long.

"I'll see if something is wrong."

The line didn't even move, but the ticket office was clearly staffed, and the situation was too weird, and out of professional habit and instinctive reaction, the man decided to go and see what was going on.

"Jiang Ying."

The woman grabbed the man by the collar and whispered under the man's quizzed gaze, "Be careful, if there is ...... Come back and don't do it, I'll wait for you here with my child. ”

Originally, although the nature of the man's profession was special, women had not linked it to danger before, but since the last time I heard a man say that his branch organization had encountered an attack by those monsters, the deputy head of his department was now lying on the hospital bed and life and death were uncertain, and the Holy Land Silicon Ma area was now very likely to lurk those monsters, she began to become chattering, as long as she heard others talk about strange events or encounter situations outside of common sense, she would always feel uneasy and afraid, because of her husband's professional requirements, She didn't even have a person to confide in these terrible things, she stayed at home all day, and she didn't dare to go out at night, so the purpose of Jiang Ying's return from vacation this time was to prepare to take her and the child out to play, for fear that she would be cranky after staying for a long time.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look."

Jiang Ying comforted his wife softly, but just as he was about to step forward to check, the phone in his hand suddenly rang.

Jiang Ying frowned, this number is not his usual number, few people know it, he subconsciously thought it was a harassing call, but when he picked up the phone and saw the name on the caller ID, his face instantly became serious, he bowed slightly to his wife, and then walked against the flow of people to the woods next to the desert, and then connected the phone.

"Chief Chen, what are your instructions?"

"I'm sorry to disturb your vacation time, but now there's an emergency that requires you to come back immediately, are you in the Holy Land Sima area right now?"

"Yes, my family and I are here at Cumulus. Chief Chen is serious, and where the responsibility lies, I will come back immediately. ”

"The car that picked you up has arrived in Fallen Leaf Town, say hello to Xiaoyu and the child on my behalf."

Jiang Ying put down the phone that was hung up, and after thinking for a while, he took out his mobile phone and called the woman, asking her to stop queuing up and bring the child over quickly.

"What's the matter, who called you, is something wrong?"

In a few moments, the woman came over with an unhappy child, and she looked at the man with serious eyes, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little tighter.

"Chief Chen called me, saying that it was an emergency and needed me to return immediately, and he also sent a special car to wait for me in Fallen Leaf Town."

Jiang Ying...... Could it be? ”

The woman looked around, then took the man's hand and asked in a trembling voice, looking at her expression, as if she was reluctant to believe that it could be true.

"It's very likely, otherwise President Chen wouldn't have called me personally...... The area of the Holy Land of Silicon Ma is no longer safe, and this battle will still be fought after all. ”

Jiang Ying squatted down and pulled the boy's face with a smile, "Angry?" ”

The boy did not speak, but turned his head away from looking at his father, who was often absent from home and had to leave as soon as he returned.

"Dad will let Uncle Mu Yu come to the house to play next time, okay?"

"Good!"

——————————

The ticket office of Cumulus Mountain, in the face of the questioning and even abuse of tourists, has remained indifferent, and even the conductor with his hands on his cheeks finally said after seeing Jiang Ying and the three of them leaving, "I'm sorry everyone, we just received a notice that the Cumulus Mountain Scenic Area is undergoing facility maintenance, and it is temporarily closed today, so please go back." ”

She waved her hand, with a sense of impatience that "I said it, believe it or not."

After saying that, she didn't care what the many tourists around the ticket office thought, and walked straight out of it and walked in the direction of Cumulus Mountain, leaving everyone stunned.

"She said she wasn't allowed to go, so she wasn't allowed to go? We are traveling and not demolition, and I have been in a hurry for more than a day. ”

"Isn't that what she herself is doing?"

"Let's go, let's go too, we've been in line for so long, and now you want to send us away with a word of maintenance?"

The crowd was angry, and some of them came from other areas, and when they saw the conductor leaving, they were naturally unhappy and incited everyone to want to forcibly climb the mountain.

"Bang!"

The sudden gunfire startled everyone present, and before they could scatter and escape, hundreds of warriors wearing black and gold armor had already come from the foot of the mountain on horseback, and the person who was the leader, who had just shot him, took out a golden waist card from his arms and said loudly, "Today's Cumulus Mountain is forbidden, unrelated personnel please leave as soon as possible, if there is a crowd to make trouble, whether it belongs to the Holy Land Sima region or not, we have the right to cut it first and then play." ”

"Who's this...... Is the Holy Land Silicon Ma area so chaotic, and it is simply lawless! ”

Although there were doubts, most of them were tourists from outside the area, and they were discussing the scene in front of them in whispers.

"The Royal Janissaries are here, and something big is going to happen...... Forget it, let's go, those few over there, I advise you to leave quickly, it's the royal family's Praetorian Guard, according to the regulations of the seven regions, even if you are outsiders, they have the power of life and death. ”

An elderly man admonished that he was a member of the Imperial Praetorian Guard of the Holy Land Sima when he was young, and that he was still He Yuanwu, Marshal He's personal soldier, and that he knew the powers of the Praetorian Guard quite well.

It's just that he wonders how this Cumulus Mountain, which has been open to the outside world for a long time, could suddenly be banned today, and it is still guarded by the royal guards.

Could it be that something terrible has been found in the area of the Holy Land of Sima?
