Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1184: Changes in Xizhou

Mercury Memorial Meta did not respond to his words, but continued to observe the cause and effect line with a frown.

"Little Sword Spirit, come out and help, something big has happened!"

Seeing this, Lin Lan hurriedly summoned the little sword spirit.

But the black-haired sword spirit little Lolita who appeared at this time looked sleepy, as if her good dream was interrupted and she mumbled:

"Hey, I finally fell asleep...what could be the big deal?"

"The real evil demon from outside the domain is coming!"

"what???"

Under his urging and simple explanation, the little sword spirit shuddered instantly, and his eyes became clear, and joined him in the process of checking the cause and effect line.

But ten minutes later, as Lin Lan's mental power was about to be consumed by more than half due to the transformation of the limit power, the three of them still did not notice anything unusual.

"No, no."

The little sword spirit, who obviously had no physical body, rubbed his dry eyes and said to Lin Lan seriously:

“The efficiency of this artifact of the Natlan goddess in collecting cause and effect is too low, and there is no way to check the cause and effect of all Natlan creatures.

"Although there are many causal lines, they actually only account for less than one tenth of the entire Natlan Heavenly Dao!"

Hearing what the little sword spirit said, Lin Lan did not hesitate and took out the cause-and-effect fishing gear again.

"This won't work either! This is a weapon that uses cause and effect to attack. It's not a type of artifact at all!"

After the little sword spirit finished speaking angrily, Mercury Memorial Meta sighed, as if making a judgment, raised his head and said to Lin Lan and the little sword spirit:
"Probably some kind of Category V threat contaminant that mimics X.

"Yes, if mimics really existed, this world would have been destroyed long ago."

After hearing what Mercury Memorial Meta said, Lin Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There are all kinds of Category V threat pollution sources, and some Category V threat pollution sources are indeed able to imitate the smell of X.

It was like the invisible breath that merged with his soul, which could easily use the black airflow to simulate the appearance of the X-mimic and the mimic beast.

But there is no doubt that this is an extremely dangerous act of seeking death.

Because no matter it is a mimic or a mimic beast, it represents the will of X of an absolute higher dimension.

Category V threat pollution sources can imitate the breath of X, but once the appearance and data of these indescribable things are simulated, it will become the real X.

In the whaling event with Miss D, he and a group of Iris ship girls, Kimberly meta, and Wichita meta were sent into the virtual space of the original world.

It was clearly a fictional battlefield of the original world, but the endless Xs simulated by the data turned into real Xs.

Just as Miss D explained X's words to him at that time:
"X is X. There is no real X or fake X! The moment it appears, everything is over!"

Because of this, X's breath can be faked, but X's existence itself cannot be recorded in any form.

"What the hell, it turned out to be a false alarm, I'm so tired!

"I know you can see me. You'd better look carefully next time. It's very tiring to help him convert his limit power!"

Compared to his relief, the little sword spirit angrily protested to the Mercury Memorial meta who was smiling again.

"Okay, okay~ I haven't seen you for a while, haven't I missed you?"

"It's weird if I believe you!"

As the tired little sword spirit dissipated and returned to the weapon core, Lin Lan also smiled at Mercury Memorial Meta:

"The misunderstanding is resolved. Your stern face just now scared Ying Rui and me."

"This is a very big deal, so of course we have to take it seriously."

Mercury Memorial Meta naturally had a well-reasoned rebuttal to his complaints.

Before he could chat with the Mercury Memorial meta on the lakeside as the sky was gradually darkening, the smell of barbecue wafting from afar successfully attracted the full attention of him and the meta female old ghost.

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

As their stomachs growled, Lin Lan and Mercury Memorial meta smiled at each other in tacit understanding and reached a consensus.
-
In the freezing northern state of Natlan, even in late spring, there is still heavy snow.

In the woods of southwestern Beizhou, where heavy snow was falling and the sky had completely darkened, a convoy of more than ten trucks, with high beams on and loaded with various processed and long-lasting foods, was moving slowly along the road, following the snowplows under the protection of the Sky Limiters.

Each military truck is printed with the conspicuous hammer and sickle logo, like a torch illuminating the night.

"Comrades, it's almost time, we will be able to pass through this forest!

"In half an hour at most, this batch of processed food will be delivered to Xizhou on the other side of the Duanzhou River, and we can return!"

Through the radio equipment, the convoy captain, who was a mortal in a green coat, spoke excitedly to the drivers in each car.

Upon learning that the Western Province was suffering from famine, the Northern Province Soviet Committee decided to provide assistance almost immediately.

Repair roads, gather food, and contact the Xizhou Spark Column...

With the concerted efforts of the Beizhou comrades, all this was accomplished in an unimaginably short time.

There were even monks from sects located near the Duanzhou River who had arrived at the bank of the river in advance, planning to transport food and supplies across the river together with the demon clan before the construction of the cross-river bridge.

As the first batch of material transport team, they have set out from the county town near Duanzhou River and it has been several days.

The county town where they departed from served as a transit station, and more material transport convoys and sect masters from all over the Northern State were gathering there.

"Xizhou...Comrade Captain, I heard from the teacher at the night school that there is endless desert everywhere and the sun is so hot that it can kill people.

"But we are about to reach Duanzhou River, and it is still snowing so heavily outside. Isn't this too strange?"

A young driver curiously asked a question on the radio channel.

Although there is only a river between the two states, the climates are very different.

Not only this driver was puzzled, other drivers also joined in on the topic while driving at low speeds.

"I heard from my comrades in Xizhou that they were taught since childhood that the Xizhou Desert is the incarnation of the Desert Witch God, and many of the elders in their families still firmly believe this."

"Oh, what Desert Witch God? Has the Desert Witch God ever appeared? Feudal superstition is not acceptable!"

"Come to think of it, I never thought I'd be able to come to Xizhou again in my life. Is the desert in Xizhou really as endless as the photos shown in class?"

……

The team leader did not interrupt the drivers' enthusiastic discussion.

After all, even though he was over 40 years old, this was the first time he left the county town where he had lived since he was a child.

This is all thanks to the industrialization reforms brought about by the Soviet Union, which gave a small mortal like him the opportunity to drive a vehicle and travel thousands of miles a day, allowing a mortal like him to live with dignity.

Thinking of this, he looked at the road ahead more seriously and vowed that nothing must go wrong.

The snow gradually subsided and the trees on both sides began to become sparse.

From time to time, road construction comrades wearing cotton coats waved to them on both sides of the road, indicating that the road leading directly to Duanzhou River had reached its end.

Ahead is the flat riverside.

As the snowplows voluntarily made way, the truck convoy finally drove out of the forest and began to speed up.

Along the way, the drivers were enthusiastically discussing whether they should take off their clothes and whether the desert would spread to the banks of the Duanzhou River.

But as the drivers of the convoy and the escorting Beizhou extreme fighters gradually saw the Duanzhou River and the vaguely visible scenery on the other side of the river, the voices in the radio channel unconsciously became quiet.

Even when the convoy stopped without the captain's order, no one questioned it.

In front of them, there were many Northern State Extreme Warriors who had been waiting by the river, looking at them with bitter smiles on their faces.

"Comrade Captain, are we on the right path?
"The other side of the river... is it really Xizhou?"

Finally, a driver was the first to recover from the deep shock and asked a question tremblingly on the radio channel.

The root of all this is the land of Xizhou.

In their impression, the scorching land should have been covered by a vast desert for thousands of years...

Surprisingly, under the light, the area was covered with green shade, flowers, and continuous fruit trees.

It’s like a paradise on earth that doesn’t belong to this world!
