Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 31 Huashan Base

Outside the gate of the Southeast Military Region Supply Base in Jiangnan Base City.

Bai Yang and Yang Wu, dressed neatly, looked at the sky and waited quietly.

A moment later, a tremendous roar echoed through the sky.

The familiar azure blue flying saucer has arrived again; [Huashan] has come to pick them up.

Although he had seen it a few times, this was the first time Bai Yang had actually ridden on it.

Looking inside the flying saucer, with all sorts of incomprehensible buttons and instruments, it really does have a high-tech, sci-fi feel.

Lu Ting didn't come this time; only Mei Xiaqing came.

After Bai Yang went up, he called out to Sister Mei.

Mei Xiaqing nodded to the two of them in a friendly manner, and then focused on piloting the flying saucer into the air.

Bai Yang, having spent a lot of time with her, knew that this was just her personality; she always put work first and didn't care about anything else.

The flying saucer quickly rose and took off. The two looked down through the window and had a panoramic view of the entire earth.

Unlike Earth in my previous life, here outside the base city, all sorts of monsters are rampaging everywhere.

The entire land appears vibrant with life, yet one can clearly sense the scarcity of human-owned territory.

Bai Yang glanced at it a few times and felt displeased. All the beautiful landscapes that humans saw had been destroyed beyond recognition by various mutated creatures.

The various towns and villages that used to line both sides of the highway have all disappeared and turned into ruins.

This China was indeed not the place he was familiar with.

The flying saucer travels at speeds several times the speed of sound, and it only takes a little over ten minutes to travel from Jiangnan to Kyoto, including takeoff, landing, and deceleration.

Neither of them felt anything before they arrived.

Stepping out of the cabin, the three found themselves at a desolate private airport.

The surrounding area is all farmland, and there are hardly any buildings in sight.

Is this Mount Hua?

Bai Yang was puzzled; it was completely different from what he had imagined.

Mei Xiaqing gestured for them to follow her, and the three of them entered a low building next to the airport.

She led the two of them familiarly to an indoor elevator.

This elevator is extremely old; it even uses iron railings as elevator doors.

After the three entered, Mei Xiaqing did something on the elevator button panel.

The elevator suddenly lurched downwards at an astonishing speed.

Bai Yang sensed the speed and realized that the three of them had probably already fallen hundreds of meters underground in an instant, and they still showed no signs of stopping.

After a while, there was a thud, and the elevator finally stopped.

Bai Yang peered out and saw that they were already in a huge white hall.

Mei Xiaqing led them directly to the front desk.

Two attractive female military officers verified their identities and completed the basic formalities.

The entire hall was bustling with hundreds of people coming and going.

People around him would spot Bai Yang every now and then, immediately stop in their tracks, and give a military salute: "Good morning, sir!"

Bai Yang nodded in response; his current official title is the leader of Group Nine of [Huashan].

Although he is essentially a lone commander, Yang Wu will be his first team member.

But his military rank is indeed that of a major general.

As Mei Xiaqing walked, she said, "The new office for Group Nine has been renovated, but there's basically nothing there right now."

"Are you really not asking for anything?"

Bai Yang looked around at the scene and casually remarked:

"I don't really have any requirements. I won't be coming here often for a while, so the renovation won't make a difference."

Wilderness areas, War God Camp... Thinking about Bai Yang's upcoming itinerary, he really wouldn't have much time to stay in Kyoto.

Mei Xiaqing didn't say anything more.

Bai Yang walked for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

In the middle of this white hall, a huge rock stood out abruptly.

There were also some words engraved on it, which was the same short poem on the Huashan Sword Box:

The sword of Mount Hua rises.

One kill every ten steps

Shattered to pieces?

Bless my China!

This is also the founding principle of [Huashan].

After passing through the lobby, the three of them went through elevators and stairs, wandering through countless twists and turns.

The interior of Mount Hua is as complex as a maze; it would be difficult to find your way without a guide.

After more than half an hour of searching in this huge underground building, the three of them finally arrived at an extremely secluded meeting room.

Jia Yi and Lu Tingzheng were waiting for them here.

Everyone present was straightforward and decisive. The first thing Jia Yi asked upon meeting was, "Bai Yang, are you really confident about this?"

Bai Yang laughed and said, "Old Jia, don't worry. I will definitely not let you down. As for how much everyone can remember, that depends on the individual."

I have already sent the written explanations of the forty-seven routines to Sister Mei.

In any case, we won't end up with nothing.

Lu Ting's expression was not good. He said, "We offended the Extreme Martial Arts Academy quite badly that time. If the teacher hadn't personally intervened, they wouldn't have even been willing to lend us the holographic camera."

We have a limited number of negatives, and this is a one-time opportunity. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Bai Yang said it was okay, it just took some time and wouldn't tire him out.

Without further ado, the five people pushed open a hidden door in the reception room.

Beyond the hidden door lies a spiral staircase leading downwards.

The group went down the stairs and arrived at a place that looked like a huge photography studio.

Mei Xiaqing explained, "This time we used double insurance."

In addition to the "holographic camera" borrowed from the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy, we also use equipment from our own Earth.

Sixteen cameras were set up in each of the six directions (up, down, front, back, left, and right) to achieve full coverage of the field of view.

Capture as much information as possible.

Finally, we will compile all the data into state-of-the-art computers to generate a digital model. This will allow for its distribution and replication.

Lu Ting sighed and said, "Unfortunately, this method is only a last resort."

Otherwise, those aliens would have done it already. I've already tried it before, and each time the dark energy diverges along the same route, it presents a different situation.

Even the slightest change could have thousands of different solutions.

Unless I can remember all the changes, there's no way I can just follow the script.

Bai Yang was also helpless. He had tried it several times, and each time the situation was different.

There's no way to teach it; it's already very difficult to convey even one percent of a fragment to someone else.

He walked straight to the center of the studio and began demonstrating "Fog Sword".

The other four sat quietly at the edge of the corner of the room, waiting for this scene to unfold.

Soon, a huge scene radiating a platinum-gold luster appeared.

Although everyone already knew the truth, they were still incredibly shocked to see such a scene for the first time.

In particular, Jia Yi and Lu Ting have been studying and practicing the "Mist Sword" for decades.

I never imagined that I would be able to uncover the secrets behind this in my lifetime.

The entire studio was completely silent.

There were only about a hundred cameras of various types, operating at a low noise level.

Bai Yang unleashed one sword strike after another in the arena, and this time the platinum light and shadow were different from the last display.

While others are drawing their swords, they are also constantly refining their swordsmanship, gradually entering a state of complete absorption in the world around them.
