Several off-road vehicles descended from the end of the coastline road and drove all the way to the edge of the forest at Grim Reaper Ridge. Several sappers jumped out of the car, and they swam around with unknown instruments on their backs. Soon, one of the sappers shouted, "My lord, I found it." ”

Rhine jumped out of the car with a solemn face, this time he didn't drive his own bullet locomotive, but took the car from the monitoring station. With his hand pressed on the one-handed sword "Arthur", Rhine asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure the signal from the locator in Lieutenant Faro's body is nearby. It's just that the sapper also looked around in confusion, and saw that it was all dense forest, and there was nothing suspicious.

Rhine walked straight forward, and the soldiers kept jumping out of the car behind them, and they were afraid that the second son of the Augustus family would fail to follow them, but they didn't know who would take care of whom if something really happened. Rhine hadn't taken a few steps when his feet suddenly sank. His face changed slightly, and he felt that his feet were no longer ground, but floating earth. He crouched down and reached into the ground.

When the palm of the hand passes through the floating soil layer of about 10 centimeters, the feeling of sand and gravel is heard. Rhine snorted, his hand wandering in the sand, and in a short time he touched a cold, hard object. He grabbed it and pulled out a machine gun. Behind the machine gun, there was also the corpse of a soldier clinging to it. In this way, half of the body was revealed from the ground. Rhine clapped his hands and stood up, shouting succinctly, "Dig!"

The twenty or so soldiers behind him did not dare to slack off, and immediately took up their machine guns. Without tools, they dug up the floating earth with their own hands and found corpses in the sand pit. In order to prevent accidents, Rhine had people bring safety ropes, tie the soldiers' waists with ropes, and then connect the off-road vehicles on the outside, and after doing this simple protective measure, a dozen soldiers went deep into the sand and finally found Faro's body.

He sighed as the corpse of the Bloody Rider Lieutenant lay side by side with the remains of dozens of ordinary soldiers at Rhine's feet, knowing that he had underestimated the outsiders after all. Although Lieutenant Faro is a commander outside, he can only be regarded as cannon fodder in the core combat power of the Blood Cavalry. However, in this kind of wilderness, it is obviously not easy for an opponent to be able to eat a lieutenant and a hundred soldiers cleanly.

In view of Ru's injury, there was a penetrating wound in his chest, but it did not hit the vital point directly. And as an ability in the fighting domain, such an injury was not enough to kill Faro. Rhine wiped his slender fingers on Faro's face, and there was a slight cold feeling from his fingertips, and then he saw that the corpse was frozen all over his body, and it was obvious that Faro's fatal wound was caused by the ice ability of the elemental domain.

"Check if there's any quicksand near Grim Reaper's Ridge?" Ryan said.

A sapper immediately used the wisdom brain in his hand to retrieve the information, and replied after a while: "Report to your lordship, there has not been a quicksand field in the Death Ridge yet. ”

"That is, it is artificial. Rhine looked at the sandy land in front of him where Faro and a team of 100 people were buried, and thought: "If you can change the regional environment, it should be the high level of the soil system." And the one who killed Faro, even if he was not a high-level ability of the ice system, had at least six or seven rank attainments. In other words, there are at least two people in the outsiders who are not of a low level of ability. Is this their trump card? Or is it just a part of Liliang?"

No one could answer Rhine's question, and the Ninth Knight didn't expect the soldiers to answer his question. He was just sorting out the whole story in his usual way, and Rhine's father often put the phrase "the wise man first" on his lips. It means that a wise person can always see something farther than others, so he is one step ahead of others. Rhine asked himself that although he didn't have the talent of a big brother Hart's general, he wasn't a fool either. He can't do everything two or three years ahead like Hart, but he can still do it if he is one step ahead of his opponent's means.

From the previous wreck of a patrol car, to the death of Faro and a squad now, it has been shown that the opponent is not weak. And to dispatch liliang of this level, then their purpose is definitely not simple. Rhine immediately asked the sapper to bring a tablet brain and call up a topographical map of the vicinity. Bounded by the Grim Reaper's Ridge, the Coastline Highway has been cut off as it continues to the south, and to the north is the Shili Circle of the Dark Council. It is almost certain that if the outsiders want to leave, they will have to go west. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they will risk taking the Grim Reaper Ridge and climbing over the large chasm into the southern end of the coastline. But the consequence of doing so is just to test the troops of Hart, who is already rearmed in Phoenix.

These outsiders are still showing no signs of being clever, and it is clear that they are well-thought-out, and that there are certain places near the coastline that Shili can use as cover to hide from the Parliament's intelligence network. Of course, the number of outsiders will not be very large, otherwise if a large number of men and horses are allowed to penetrate the defense, then the council might as well close early. In this way, it is basically certain that this foreign liliang belongs to a team with a small number of people but many elites.

A team like this is best at breaking through points.

Rhine keeps his finger on the wilderness between Grim Reaper and Windmill Town, and each click creates a sign, each representing a hidden outpost. The distance between each sentinel is about 10 kilometres, and from the map, these sentinels are as deep as a large net. Even if one of these points is broken, it will not be able to completely escape the reconnaissance range. On the contrary, because of the moderate distance between sentinels, they can know each other. If one of them is attacked, the other sentinels can react immediately, playing a role of diversion and delay.

Handing over the brain to the sappers, Rhine instructed: "In my name, order all the soldiers at the nearby monitoring station to be mobilized, and arrange the manning according to my arrangement." Let's see, how big is this exotic fish?"

Rhine didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so he immediately contacted the headquarters of Phoenix City and asked Hart for some of the powerful people in the "Fallen Angel" to come over, ready to surprise outsiders.

While the Ninth Knight was busy casting his nets to catch fish, the big fish near the Great Lakes to the west of Death Ridge had not yet noticed the subtle changes near the coastline.

In the marching tent, after listening to Kim's request, Zero said, "That sister of yours, the gene has collapsed. In normal ways, it is basically impossible to prevent this phenomenon from continuing to develop, and at best it is to delay the speed of collapse. ”

Kim's face darkened, and for Alice, his mood could only be described as complicated. From the resentment and helplessness of first learning that Alice had destroyed the town, to being hunted down by her later, and now that Tyre is dead, she has come to the end of her life without any restraint. All this has been going through, and only Kim understands what it's like.

He hated it, had no choice but to be relieved when he came to Zuihou, and even now he hopes to keep this woman's life. After all, she was the only one who brought warmth to herself during those dark days. Before zero came, although Kim had this idea, he was always limited by reality, so it was not strong. But after Zero came, this undoubtedly brought hope to Kim.

Even without Faro, he would have looked for a chance to get close to zero. And Lieutenant Bloodrider just gave Kim a more reason, but now, Zero gave him only another disappointment. He didn't blame Zero, nor did he question Zero's refusal to help. Because Zero must know that if Alice can be saved, then at least Kim will owe him a big favor. This is definitely a good thing for Zero, and if it weren't for the truth, Zero wouldn't have said that.

But just when Kim was disappointed, Zero said: "But I have a private method that I may try, but I'm not sure if it will succeed or not, because there is no such precedent." ”

Zero thought of nature as his own DNA memory, and judging by the fact that the memory group can generate any life matrix, perhaps letting them into Alice's body might be able to repair the woman's genes that have begun to collapse. Of course, if Alice's life can be saved, Zero will also use the memory group to leave some controllable means in Alice's body.

After all, it's hard to say whether Alice will be friend or foe in the future, and he hasn't been generous enough to casually save someone who might become a great enemy, even if Kim might do his bidding for a while. In turbulent times, it is impossible to be too careful.

Hearing the change of breath, Jin suddenly lifted his spirits, and said with a happy face: "Yes, whether it can succeed or not, this is always a hope." ”

"That's true, but as you can see, I still have something to do here, and I can't help you right away. Well, we're going back to Asgard tomorrow, and you guys come with me and we'll talk about it when we get back." Zero said, "Besides, you seem to have to discuss it with her." To be honest, I don't see any desire to survive in her. ”

Jin smiled bitterly and nodded, "This is the biggest problem." ”

At this moment, the sound of cranes working outside the tent was heard, followed by the sound of rushing water. The two of them came out of the tent just in time to see the hexapod breaking through the water in the afternoon light. The water flowing down from the hull of the boat reflected the skylight, and the water vapor stirred up by slapping on the surface of the lake slowly dispersed, and the water vapor diffused the sky light to form a gorgeous rainbow bridge on the lake surface, which did not disperse for a long time.

"God, it turns out that you are salvaging this kind of thing" Jin looked at the streamlined spaceship on the lake, shocked beyond measure.

The salvage project was now coming to an end, and after the hexapod was pulled ashore, the clean-up work began. The main task of Zuihou was to drain the damaged part of the hull and then to install the towing elements so that they could be transported back to Asgard tomorrow. And in the whole Jihua, the return journey is the most important issue, so Zero called everyone to the camp at night to study the route of the return trip and the work of defense, and it was not until late at night that he and everyone agreed on their respective responsibilities for tomorrow.

The night was dark, and Zero looked at the hexapopter that had already installed the traction components. The spaceship that had carried him out of the abyss had reappeared in front of him after more than two years of absence. And this time, Zero hopes that it will be able to take itself to explore more Shijie of the last knowledge. It seems that when he and the spaceship first met underground, such a fate was already destined in the dark, so Zero decided that from today onwards, this spaceship will be called "Destiny"!
