Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

In the wind and snow, Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the mobile phone that had a beeping blind busy tone coming from the receiver. He vaguely saw the long corridor swept by the torrent, and the ferocious-looking corpses and dark golden bones were carried away by the flowing water. Then he was slowly washed away from both sides of his body.

At the end of the corridor is the back of a lonely man. He is so slender and light, wearing a plain kimono, holding a cherry red scabbard and a long sword in the sheath.

The man swayed further and further away, roaring and crying bitterly, his long white hair being blown up by the wind that came from nowhere.

The vision at this moment was so clear, as if the scene in the memory was reappearing, Yuan's childish voice was whispering gently, he said, "Farewell, Mr. Lu, this time I will bet on you to win."

When these words rang out, Lu Mingfei's whole body trembled. The next second, all his thoughts were cut off. The bitingly cold air slapped Lu Mingfei's skin exposed in the air like it was wrapped in a knife blade. He gritted his teeth fiercely, and the silent anger deep in his eyes slowly faded away.

There have been enough tragedies in this world, but it still refuses to let go of those who just hope to pray for even a glimmer of warmth in the cracks of fate...

Tokyo is simply like the great convergence of history that Lu Mingze once said, as if all the torrents converge into a vortex that swallows flesh and blood, involving everything that should happen.

After we have gone through so many journeys together, did we realize at the end that the end of the journey was a tragedy?

Damn...

Powerless.

The reunion of Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhisheng is really destined. Today, the emperor of the Eight Snake Qi Family and the Dragon King of the Fierce Ghosts will meet again in the mountains in their most perfect state.

"Lu Mingfei, walk faster, the car has arrived!" Qilan shouted at the top of his lungs. At this time, the weather seemed to have become worse. The wind covered with ice slag swept through the forest at an alarming speed, and the entire forest They all seem to be colliding with each other and making a tinkling sound, which is reminiscent of dense wind chimes.

Lu Mingfei tightened the knife in his hand, looked back for the last time in the direction where the helicopter that brought them here had disappeared, pulled down his windproof glasses and rushed towards Qilan.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a black off-road vehicle with a large displacement. The wheels of the vehicle were almost as tall as a child. Qilan was sticking his head out of the back seat and waving to Lu Mingfei. Christina was very surprised. Some excitedly occupied the driver's seat, with excitement dancing on their delicate and beautiful faces.

The car door lock automatically popped open when Lu Mingfei came in front of him. Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then he pulled the buckle to open the door and sat down on the passenger seat.

It was obvious that Christina was the one who kept her word in this car, because the stereo was playing a very melodious song called "An Evening on the outskirts of Moscow", and Christina was humming along with the tune. It was not funny to see this girl using her rough voice to imitate a man's voice, but there was just a hint of sadness in her voice.

“Everywhere is quiet in the garden late at night, the leaves no longer rustle;

The night is so beautiful, so mesmerizing, such a quiet night..."

Lu Mingfei did not disturb the girl's singing. When he saw a glass bottle of Coke inserted in the slot, he bit open the bottle cap with his teeth and drank heavily while staring at the wind and snow outside the window.

"I used to drive a Lamborghini along the Volga River late at night, and I would play this song in the car. If no one was with me, I would turn the volume of the stereo to the maximum. Those black swans resting in the river Just running on the water and flying up the river... After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's economy has not been very prosperous, and Moscow has not been so prosperous. By that time, there were very few cars and people on the road! "Kristin! After Na hummed for a minute or two, she controlled the off-road vehicle and roared like a beast. Her gauze was taken off and hung on the rearview mirror, like fog blown by the wind. The girl's eyes were shining in the fog. .

"No one will care about you when you drive fast at night. No matter how loud the engine roars, the song can't be louder than the tide of the Volga River. The wind hits you in the face but only makes your heart rate soar. That's how you are alive. Feeling!" Kristina said loudly, she laughed softly, "Knock on your chest, Lu Mingfei, I feel that your life is so strong, I am so envious..."

Her final voice was so low that Lu Mingfei couldn't even hear what Christina was saying. The little girl suddenly stopped laughing, held the steering wheel with one hand, and slammed down the accelerator. Lu Mingfei The Coke in the glass bottle in Fei's hand stirred like the river at high tide, and the gauze hanging on the rearview mirror sounded like a flag in the strong wind!

This steel monster, which may have been made by the equipment department, roared and rushed out. Its bright headlights shot out cone-shaped beams of light in the fine ice and snow crystals. The wheels rotated crazily, sending snow dust as high as a person high to both sides. Taking off and splashing, regardless of the increasingly severe weather conditions at this time, it crashed into the thick snow curtain.

"Go straight along this road. The heavy equipment of the Sheqi Ba family must have been sent into the mountains through this passage!" After Lu Mingfei finished drinking the Coke, he opened the window a crack and threw the glass bottle into the roaring In the wind and snow, the cold and violent air flowed in from outside. Even though he was wearing a thick combat uniform, Qilan couldn't help but shiver.

At this time, the black off-road vehicle was driving into a shallow river in the dry season like some kind of rampaging rhinoceros. The river water barely covered the axle of the vehicle. The river bed was densely covered with large and small pebbles. Lu Mingfei and the others were bumping violently, like crossing a river. The beast of water roared forward, its weight of several tons easily crushing the frozen ice on the river, splashing two meters of water containing ice crystals.

The ice water fell down like a heavy rain, hitting the shed and window glass of the off-road vehicle, reflecting the cold sky light.

The real road is further upstream, where there is a bridge that connects the two sides, but wading directly into the water can save ten minutes of journey. Christina did not hesitate to drive the dangerous toy out of the asphalt road, crushing it. The gravel and pebbles rushed into the river.

"The coordinates given to us by the college show that we can see an abandoned drilling station by going around this mountain. It is the construction remains left by the Yamanashi Environmental Science Research Institute. It should also be digging from the coast of the Tama River to the Akagui River. , but I don’t know why the Rock Flow Research Institute finally gave up on the deep pit that had already excavated most of it, and then chose to continue the excavation at the current coordinates!" Qi Lan said in the back seat, Lu Mingfei did not speak, just quietly. Looking out the window.

The mountains, rivers and trees here are very familiar. To the west, there is a safe harbor built in the mountains. It was there that Angers and Constantine met Lu Mingfei the day after they were attacked at Haneda Airport.

Looking north from the safe harbor, you can see the magnificent building that has existed for twenty years. Maruyama Construction Works and the Rock Flow Research Institute will call that place No. 13 Water Storage Well, and more people like to call it...

Red well.

If you look at the hydrological map, the outlet of the Akami River is located in the west of Tokyo. After it seeps out of the ground, it will mix with the Tama River.

Twenty years ago, the Yanliu Research Institute and Maruyama Construction Co., Ltd. jointly undertook the construction of Tokyo City’s drainage system, the Iron Dome Shrine. This system extends to the outlet of the Akaki River. The No. 13 water storage well is to accommodate the redundant water of the Akaki River and Tama River. It is a giant water storage well built by flowing water. The reason why this thing is called a red well is because its water quality often appears a strange deep red color due to excessive iron content.

It sounds like a miraculous project, but Hongjing is only a short 12 kilometers away from the center of Tokyo. Along the -meter-diameter giant drainage pipe branching out from the Iron Dome Temple, the Sheqi family has been in trouble for years. Dozens or even hundreds of deep wells were dug in a period of time. Sometimes their drill bits might even penetrate the palaces of gods or the ruins of cities from the Age of Gods, but they did not find any miracles buried three hundred meters underground.

Lu Mingfei imagined the god was curled up like a child in the blood-red river. There was a loud rumbling sound coming from the hard rock wall, and it silently raised its head. A dark blue flame spewed from its mouth, and its eyes were as dazzling golden as the sun.

It longs to return to its homeland, longs to return all the loneliness and despair of thousands of years to those lowly people who betrayed it, but it is afraid to return to the sunlight, as if as long as it returns to the sunlight it will be cut by the cross falling from the sky and nailed to death in the depths of the Arctic Ocean once again.

Thinking about it, Lu Mingfei slowly stroked the blade hidden in his sleeve. His eyes when he looked out the window suddenly changed. Christina also slowed down, and finally she was completely in the middle of this two-lane road. When it stopped, the yellow dotted line stretched out from the front of the car like a flower that guides the dead, and disappeared into the vast snow.

The three of them looked at the abandoned construction ruins outside the window in silence. The huge steel structure looked majestic and terrifying in the blizzard. The light of the off-road vehicle's headlights could not shine through the snow dust, and the light beam was very fast. It was swallowed up by erosion.

This ruins is located completely against the mountain. On the other side of the mountain, Lu Mingfei and the others could not even see any trace of it from the helicopter. Even closer to the mountain, there was a large machine like a steel forest standing. It was stained with rust, like the skeleton of a giant.

"We haven't seen the electricity tower yet, and looking at the coal stove there, it's obvious that for some reason the Sheqi family couldn't bring electricity here, or that there was indeed electricity here at first, but then the electricity The system was irreparably destroyed." Lu Mingfei pointed to the old building with a huge steel chimney in the distance, his eyes shining.

"There was no way to bring electricity in, but a large part of the project progress was completed, and the Rock Flow Research Institute was unwilling to give up, so it built a coal furnace that uses thermal power to generate electricity."

Lu Mingfei could already imagine the scene here back then. Truckloads of coal were transported from the sea to the mountains near the Tama River, and were broken into pulverized coal. The pulverized coal burned fiercely, and the explosive energy drove the huge machinery to start operating. The coal When the furnace valve is opened, even the night sky will be illuminated red.

Christina opened the window, and the wind blew her hair all over her head. She found a knitted hat from somewhere and used it to hold her hair down.

"You mean," said Christina, "that they already found something when they were digging here?"

"Yes, I think the Sheqi family may already know that there are dragon subspecies buried under the Red Ghost River. They are just not sure whether what they dug is an ecosystem where devils gather or the burial ground of gods." Lu Mingfei said coldly.

"Want to go down and take a look?" Qilan looked at his watch, "We are different from Caesar's group. We have plenty of time for the True Red Earth operation."

"No need," Lu Mingfei shook his head and patted the girl in the driver's seat on the shoulder, "Let's move on."

Christina nodded, started the car and continued towards the end of the mountain road.

Lu Mingfei dialed Nono's number. He looked at the phone in his hand silently. The slight vibration meant that the call was being transferred to Nono's hands.

The vibration suddenly stopped.

"It's me." Nuonuo's voice came out clearly, and Lu Mingfei slowly exhaled a breath,

"EVA has completely captured Kaguya's firewall at Sakurai Masahiko's place, right?" he asked.

"Yes." The action had already begun, and Nono's style suddenly changed.

She didn't talk much to begin with. She only became lively in front of Lu Mingfei. At this time, she even cherished her words like gold even when facing Lu Mingfei.

"Can you see their weapons reserves?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"There are no weapons... If you really want to talk about it, would a large amount of standard powdered nitroglycerin explosives used for digging wells count?" Nono said. She hesitated for a moment, "What did you find?"

"I suspect that the Sheqi family already knows that there is a group of dragon subspecies hidden in the Red Ghost River." Lu Mingfei leaned on the back of his chair, his eyelids and eyelashes drooping, as if he was pretending to be sleeping, but in fact, his eyes were not very bright. My mind is spinning like a well-oiled gear.

"There are coal stoves in the construction ruins nearby, but it is impossible for the Rock Flow Research Institute to use thermal power to support the operation of large machinery from the beginning." Lu Mingfei said, "What did you think of?"

"When the embryo hatches or the dragon turns into a cocoon, it will build something similar to a barrier around itself that can disrupt the electric field." Nono said.

The energy generated by the high electric potential causes the electrons to move, and the electrons move to form an electric current. This is the electric field, and the barrier of the dragon embryo is a layer of invisible bubbles. The electric current is cut off on this layer of bubbles, and the outside electricity cannot Enter the interior, but the electricity inside can still be used.

This is also the reason why Caesar's actions are highly risky.

The underwater drone is controlled by cables. The barrier of the embryo may cause all these tools to fail. At this time, Caesar and Chu Zihang need to dive manually to attack Gao Tianyuan and the embryo that has eroded the Lenin. Carry out fixed-point blasting.

There was a crackling sound from Nono's end. Lu Mingfei knew that it was the sound of fingers tapping the keyboard. Apparently Nono thought of something and immediately started to investigate.

"Found it." Her voice rose a bit, "Mercury, in the current construction base, more than a dozen large mercury tanks are buried underground! The Sheqi family has transformed it into a dragon hunting place. Trap! This thing is extremely poisonous to dragons and hybrids, but they are also equipped with special protective clothing and masks!"

Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank slightly and he opened his eyes suddenly.

It was impossible for EVA not to discover such an important clue, but no one reminded them.

If Yuan Zhisheng already knew that there was something hidden in the Red Oni River, why would he allow a civilian to control the overall situation there?

Perhaps in the mountain forest not far away, a large number of snipers are aiming their guns at the huge, muddy wellhead. Once any ferocious monster pokes its head out from below, mercury-core alchemical armor-piercing bullets It will tear apart their skulls.

"They did not record this information on the computer, but the original paper files, so EVA did not find it." Nono said coldly, "But I found satellite pictures of those mercury canisters being transported into the mountains. The logo is unmistakable.”

Chapter 343 Christina

The hydraulic drilling rig is working in the blizzard with a drill pipe that is hundreds of meters long and connected by high-strength alloy sections. The roar of the diamond drill bit penetrates from the gap between the drill pipe and the deep well, echoing in the valley.

Sakurai Masahiko would always be awakened from his nap by the roaring sound. When he woke up, his face was covered with sweat, and even his vest was soaked with cold sweat.

He imagined that the loud noise of the drill bit drilling into the rock formation was like thunder deep underground.

It's like the unwilling undead in hell are roaring at the world on earth.

There was a heavy snowstorm at the construction site, and the flames were burning brightly in the gas furnace covered by the iron shed, sharing the rare warmth with the workers who were still sticking to their posts.

Sakurai Masahiko unscrewed the thermos cup, took a sip of the hot tea inside, and let out a contented sigh, then looked at the construction valley again with worried eyes.

The name of this valley is Thunder Valley, because the Akagui River below collides in the winding rock formations and makes a thunderous roar. The thunderous sound is then transmitted up the rock and soil layers into the valley.

Some people also say that this place is actually the exit of the underworld, and the so-called thunder is simply the evil spirits knocking on the door of the human world.

Sakurai Masahiko didn't know the significance of the family's excavations here, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Whenever he heard those deafening explosions, he would be frightened, fearing that he had inadvertently opened a long road to hell.

Five xenon headlights are installed on the top of the red and yellow short tower, standing at five directions in the valley. The bright light spots move as they rotate, slowly illuminating the valley and illuminating the distant mountain shadows. The busy staff in Lianggu looked like they were cooking oil.

There were only a few people in the temporary simple work shed, and Sakurai Masahiko then turned his attention to the Russian girl who had been silent and typing on a portable computer since entering the place.

Kristina Kabaeva, a graduate of the Faculty of Soil Science at Moscow State University and an expert in geology and groundwater hydrology, was hired by the Institute of Rock Flow to assist in the excavation of the Akage River, along with her Japanese boyfriend, Koichi Ryoma.

Both of them carry cards that can prove their identity and work certificates from the Rockflow Research Institute. Kaguya's system can also identify them, so Masahiko Sakurai has no reason to suspect that they are actually spies of the secret party.

In the distance, a man named Ryoma Koichi was overlooking the valley on the edge of the cliff, leaning on a large construction forklift, his shoulders covered with snowflakes.

The guy was holding a pack of cigarettes in one hand and a lighter in the other. His head and neck were so cold that he wished he could retract into his collar, like a bastard who hadn't slept enough after being woken up in winter.

I don’t know how such a guy got together with that Russian girl. They don’t seem to be the same kind of people at all.

"I checked the progress of your construction. It has now been excavated 311 meters, but the progress is obviously getting slower and slower." Christina tied her long hair back and wore a pair of black wearing huge plastic-framed glasses, with only light makeup on his face, and a thick coat wrapped around his body, he looked like a strict emperor penguin.

However, the way she was dressed was exactly like a graduate of Moscow State University. At first glance, Sakurai Masahiko felt that this was a Russian girl who was extremely beautiful but not very good at speaking and was not easy to get along with.

When she said these words, she pushed up her glasses so that she looked more like a meticulous science girl.

"The further down the excavation work goes, the higher the temperature, and the thicker the rock formations that need to be broken through. Even the diamond drill bit has to stop from time to time to cool down, and the hydraulic drilling rig also needs to rest to relieve metal fatigue." Masahiko Sakurai said helplessly Said, "However, we are already operating those large machines at their limit, and the depth of the red mud layer of the Akuki River that was surveyed before the start of the project is still less than ten meters."

Sure enough, she is a little girl who has just entered the society. Although she has the name of Ganliu Research Institute, she has such an attitude of accountability when she gets here, which is really annoying, Masahiko Sakurai thought to herself, but there was no trace of it on her face. Make an impatient expression.

However, I didn't expect that what came out of Christina's mouth was pure Japanese, with some dialects from the four northern islands.

Kristina stood up with a straight face and came to the door of the shed. The wind was a bit strong, so Masahiko Sakurai held up an umbrella over her head.

"To a depth of ten meters, judging from the current speed, it will take about a day, right?" Christina said.

"To be precise, it is twenty-five hours. It is not ruled out that accidents may cause this time to be extended, or the underground river cavity may be drilled in advance. In addition, it will take sixteen hours to run the pipe and cement the well. At this time, the project will be considered completed." Masahiko Sakurai is indeed a professional and knows the time very accurately.

Christina nodded, indicating that she understood.

According to the information, the nearby construction ruins were left a year ago. After the well digging progress was stopped, all the machinery and equipment were left behind. For example, those expensive tools were damaged when digging the deep well that penetrated the Akagui River. Hearing the curse of the dead souls in the underground river, everyone fled in panic.

The current project started two months ago, and there was a gap of ten months.

Obviously, the Snake Kihachi family has done something in these ten months, and they are sure that even if they do not find the burial place of the White King, they will at least find a cluster of dragon subspecies from the Akaki River, so before the construction begins They brought a lot of mercury jars here.
