Chapter 106 Humans
This "dragon" was not fast, but when its neck was about to straighten, it suddenly fell back and opened its bloody mouth.

The two sharp fangs shoot out two strings of small blue light balls from the tips. With the shaking of the dragon head, they connect into two winding bright spots in the air and fly towards the missile.

The emergency avoidance program preset in the missiles took effect immediately. The two missiles suddenly accelerated and flew in a serpentine route to avoid the attacks of these light spots.

However, the gyroscope of the information collection instrument mounted on the missile is very powerful. In this rapid flight trajectory change, it still faithfully recorded the terrifying figure and attack method of the giant dragon.

After the giant dragon gradually shrunk in the screen, roared and hibernated again, and disappeared into the huge waves, everyone who was frightened into a cold sweat exclaimed.

"What it is?"

"Why does it exist? How is its energy intake maintained?"

"Is Liangzhou destroyed by it? Can its bone strength support it to move on land?"

However, these can only be analyzed by the Academy of Sciences. The missile has got rid of the threat and is ready to cross the Qinling Mountains.

The valley in the northwest of the front turned into a thick fog, and the line of sight followed the one in front, and plunged into it.

The screen switched to a weird video with infrared and magnetic fields superimposed, and large and small biological infrared heat sources and magnetic fields appeared below from time to time, as well as various strange roars.

This is a super-large nature reserve of the same era, a paradise of biodiversity, and it is still today.

Above the missile, a huge flock of flying birds appeared, and their flight direction was exactly the same as that of the missile.

The situation below is not clear. The map shows that the missiles are flying all the way along the valley of the Jialing River. As the mountain increases, the vertical distance between the birds and the missiles becomes smaller and smaller. The purpose is to fly over the pass above Lueyang.

"Miscalculated." Chief Liu said: "I didn't expect that there are still a large number of migratory birds migrating at this time, and the direction is contrary to our previous impression."

Chief Wan Ke said with a heavy heart, "Fortunately, the missile returned safely, otherwise, you and I would be sinners."

The automatic avoidance system in the missile judged that the distance of the channel was getting narrower and narrower, and suddenly the dense fog broke through, revealing the mountain pass below the migrating birds in front of it.

Although they knew it was just a video, everyone still put their hearts into their throats, and they all breathed a sigh of relief until the missile rushed past the treetops on the pass.

The missile began to drop in altitude, and below it was another small plain—Longnan Small Plain.

"There are people! There are people in Lichuan!" Xiaozhi's voice suddenly sounded: "Although it cannot be interpreted, the system can still monitor a large number of Skynet information addressing radio waves! There are also thermal imaging and magnetic fields! There are estimated to be 5 people here!"

"Good!" Everyone in the virtual hall, including Zhang Qiuyi, couldn't help cheering.

This is a small plain deep in the Qinling Mountains, separated by mountains on both sides, and the place is not big, only two counties.

After experiencing the tragedy of the two big cities of Lizhou and Qinzhou being reduced to dead cities, almost no one thought that there would still be human beings on this small plain at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains surrounded by mountains—the Weicheng small plain. Humans are active!
"Little Jiangnan in Longyou, well-deserved reputation!" Tangning applauded. Human beings can continue to move around in such an environment. After crossing the Qinling Mountains, the further north has greater hope!
"They built a new city!" Director Zhao shouted excitedly: "From the analysis of addressing radio waves, they moved the new city to the center of the plain!"

Tang Ning nodded, "This small plain is not that big, only [-] square kilometers in total. Humans have been living here since a long time ago. Later, two inhabited areas were formed at the east and west ends of the plain. The one at the east end is called Cheng County. , the western end is called Wei County. This is the origin of the name of Weicheng Plain.”

"Yes!" Director Zhao said: "Probably because of a combination of virus outbreaks and forest invasion, the survivors of the two counties moved to the center of the plain, where they established new settlements!"

The missile has already begun to climb and entered the Qinling area. Unfortunately, this is not the focus of the investigation, and the video cannot be captured. It can only be judged by the detection of radio waves.

But in any case, this is the first exciting news after entering the virtual lobby!
The missile flew over Cheng County, which already belongs to the end of the Qinling Mountains, and between the plateau to the west, there is a rift valley with a width of tens of kilometers.

There is also a traditional settlement here, Xihe, but at the foot of the mountain, the luck is not as good as the survivors on the Weicheng small plain.

The vegetation on the mountain recorded by the missile has undergone tremendous changes from the vegetation on the southern foot of Dajianshan Mountain in the Shudu Plain.

The climate in this area has become drier, and the vegetation in the forest still looks dense, but it is composed of the canopy of huge trees. In terms of density, it is obviously much sparser.

"It's 34 degrees north latitude!"

"Enter the Wei River Basin!"

"Qinzhou is ahead!"

"There are more and more Skynet addressing signals! There are people! There are also people in Qinzhou!"

The hall was full of jubilant scenes. After the inland rainfall increased, the climate in this area became more suitable for agricultural planting. Below the missile, a white snowfield has appeared. There are countless black ruts on the snowfield, which are agricultural vehicles. Evidence for driving on fallow land!

"Received a reply from Qinzhou! They replied with the Datong Times airport dispatching equipment!"

"Show Xiaozhi!" Tangning shouted excitedly.

This audio is full of noise, but it is still clear, and the voice is also very excited

"Shuzhou Shuzhou! Qinzhou has received your signal! Trying to receive it!"

"Shuzhou Shuzhou! Can you hear me?"

"Shuzhou Shuzhou! Qinzhou has discovered your open channel and is urgently uploading information!"

Cruise missiles flying to other cities are likely to be considered a threat, so the missiles are painted in bright colors, and the channel is kept open, constantly sending requests for cross-city exchange agreements in the contemporary era.

Qinzhou quickly figured out how the cruise missile works, and the voice was a little choked up: "Shuzhou Shuzhou! I didn't expect you to still insist on contacting the outside world... All survivors of Qinzhou, to the heroic people of Shuzhou pay tribute!"

"Persevere, victory will eventually belong to us humans!"

The missile hovered over Qinzhou City in a large circle that gradually became smaller. The entire appearance of Qinzhou City was recorded in the video.

At a height of [-] meters, you can see clearly below, and the crowd below can also see the brightly colored missiles clearly.

Under the magnified lens, people are cheering with their heads up, waving the clothes and scarves they took off, and warmly welcome the visitors from the south.

After three circles around the city, the missile continued to fly northwest.

At the end of the audio, it was still the same voice, which had calmed down a lot: "Shuzhou, I am Xiao Liwei, the director of the Qinzhou settlement. I wish you a happy new year."

"Qinzhou's uploaded data has been decoded and is being analyzed." Xiaozhi's voice sounded again, interrupting the short silence that everyone fell into after being excited.

On the former loess plateau, there were lush forests everywhere, but in the scenes recorded by the missiles flying along the highway, more and more traces of human activities can be seen.

There are automatic cars running on the highway, and there is an armed station on the side of the road from time to time, and intercity communication seems to have been established between Qinzhou and Jincheng. The exchange agreement received by the missile is a common agreement between the two cities.

Soon, another audio was played, with a calm and powerful voice: "Shuzhou, I am Wang Yue, director of the Jincheng Management Committee, and I have received a notification from Qinzhou. This is the best New Year's gift! "

"The exchange information from Jincheng is being uploaded. The people of Jincheng, thank the people of Shuzhou for sending us this exciting news!"

"In the past 20 years, the people on the Loess Plateau have overcome various difficulties and re-established a stable settlement. We have rich mineral deposits such as steel, coal, potassium, and salt. There is a large Liujiaxia Reservoir in the upper reaches to regulate water conservancy. The 35-degree north latitude The climate and environment have also become suitable for the growth of crops again."

"We are working hard to build and fight! I believe it is the same as the heroic people of Shuzhou!"

"One day, we will meet again! And this day, I believe it will not be too long!"

"Salute to you!"

The missile also circled three times over Jincheng, then turned around, flew along the Dahe River above a huge reservoir upstream, and then began to return.

The return route is to fly to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, using the harsh climate conditions, high cold and hypoxic environment to reduce the unstable factors caused by mutated creatures and make the flight safer.

This road is no man's land, except for the vast snowfield.

Countless wild animals live here, but there are not many variations, wild donkeys, wild horses, yaks, camels...

Among the mutant beasts, there are tall mammoths, and huge cats and canines.

The missile crossed the Minshan Mountains, the altitude dropped rapidly, and finally landed on a small airport between the tower floor of the settlement and Shudu City - Taipingsi Airport.

The harvest of this exploration is undoubtedly huge, but many problems can also be discovered.

"Has the information on Qinzhou and Jincheng been sorted out?" Zhang Qiuyi asked.

"Not yet, it is estimated that there are still four hours."

"Then let's do this first," Tangning said, "One hour in the hall is equivalent to three hours outside. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat first."

"You guys go first." Director Zhao of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said, "Xiao Yang and I want to send some important information to Shudu as soon as possible."

"It's okay, we'll wait for you." The screen returned to the appearance of a large conference room, Zhang Qiuyi said: "I have a question, why didn't the design flight route choose the Guanzhong Plain at that time, but turned to the northwest?"

Section Chief Liu looked very happy: "Let me explain this. Considering the preciousness of cruise missiles at that time, we chose a direction that is more suitable for human survival."

"Given the large population before Datong in Qinchuan area, the forest may recover in 20 years, so we chose Qinzhou and Jincheng, which are closer to the Gobi and desert in the northwest."

"There is also the safety of the flight path. From Liangzhou to Chang'an, you need to cross the Qinling Mountains, and you have to go through it again when you return. It is really difficult to guarantee safety."

"Fortunately, this is the case..." Chief Wan also felt very scared: "When I passed the Lueyang pass like this, I almost..."
