Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

Chapter 346 337. Long Yuan (3) Her Royal Highness and Hell
"This is the place where we have experienced the decisive battle. The old king died, the new king held up his crown, and the frenzy of destruction rose from the red well."

Lu Mingfei walked along the well wall. When he stepped out of the engineering elevator, he casually touched the switch of the light source at the bottom of the well. Those dazzling spotlights were fixed on the scaffolding on the walls around the well, and they were all lit. By then it was as if the dark clouds had dispersed and the sun reappeared in the sky.

"White King, Herzog..." Nuonuo murmured a name that once made Lu Mingfei hate and fear him to the very core. But now his heart was still, as if he was sad and angry when he came here and looked away. everything.

The rustle of falling snowflakes filled the whole world. Lu Mingfei's footsteps walking along the well wall suddenly stopped. He stood in front of a pool of red water, with no emotion in his eyes.

Water storage well No. 13 is built at the outlet of the Akaki River. During the wet season, the Akaki River and the Tama River will converge here. The excess water will enter the water storage well and then be discharged into the sea.

During the dry season, red wells are always dry.

But now there is a pool of red water here.

Even in the mountains where the temperature is low, and there is even snow piled up at the bottom of the well, the thin red water in the pool is still seeping with misty steam, accompanied by a faint smell of blood.

The water seeped out from the water outlet below, as if the tide of the Akagui River had risen early.

"Senior sister, you have not experienced the Battle of Tokyo. There are many details that are not recorded in the mission report." Lu Mingfei said that he was not worried that his phone call with Nono would be stolen or recorded by the academy. Although Lu Mingze was a chicken thief A little too late, but he is usually very reliable. He has never broken the promises he made, and even the world must obey what he says. The only exception is Eri Yi.

Lu Mingze said before that in the core database of the college's intelligent secretary, Lu Mingfei's authority level is higher than anyone else's.

Although he didn't know why, Lu Mingfei had become accustomed to the strange things that happened to him. One day he returned to a normal life and it would be called a strange thing.

"The last time the Snake Qihachi family's god-slaying operation was carried out in the Red Well, Miyamoto Shio, the director of the Rock Flow Research Institute, made a crazy but highly feasible suggestion. He said that the Snake Qihachi family could use the equipment used to dig the Channel Tunnel. The super boring machine dug a tunnel directly to the Akagui River on the west wall of the red well. The diameter of this tunnel is six meters and the length is about 1.5 kilometers. "

Lu Mingfei squatted down and stared at the red water. Only then did he notice that this was not a shallow pool, but the real water storage area of ​​the Red Well. The depth was difficult to estimate, but the drain valve was closed, so the water seeping out of the rock wall was deposited here.

Nono was thoughtful.

Although she is responsible for providing information support to Lu Mingfei and the others, EVA has completed almost all the work, so now she is even idle.

The super tunnel boring machine appears in the attachment to the Tokyo mission report. The legendary equipment is shaped like a huge cannonball, with a diameter of nearly six meters. The tapered head is entirely made of high-hardness alloy and is covered with thick threads. , covered with diamond particles.

According to the person who operates it, when the super tunnel boring machine moves forward with a powerful crawler system, the tornado-like high-speed rotating head cuts the rock like cutting tofu, roaring and advancing deep in the ground, leaving behind a six-meter-diameter diameter huge tunnel.

"Before I came here, I checked the topography map of Yamanashi Prefecture made by the academy. Above the Akagui River is a basalt layer formed by the cooling of magma erupted by Devonian volcanoes. It is terrifyingly hard, unless Fenrir or my junior sister help. , otherwise we would not be able to open a 1.5-kilometer-long tunnel in a short time." Lu Mingfei stepped on the snow. Under the snow were dead branches and leaves, which were probably washed in by the rain and crushed. Then there was a clicking sound.

Although letting the king of the earth and mountains dig tunnels may seem overkill, it is definitely a feasible operation.

The earth is their home field. Lu Mingfei only needs to place a beacon in the red well, link the Nibelungs here, and then open the portal in front of Fenrir. That stupid dragon can control the earth elements without even leaving the house. Take control of the lifeblood of this island nation.

Digging a tunnel is nothing, Fenrir can literally sink Japan.

His original purpose of coming to Hongjing was not to complain for nothing, and being moved by the scene was by no means exclusive to President Lu. If Ange was allowed to return to Cassel Manor, which had not changed for a hundred years, and Chu Zihang was allowed to go to that windy road, Elevated road, presumably they will also mourn indifferently.

Fate gave Lu Mingfei another chance. What he should do was to kill God and all those who coveted God's things, instead of being immersed in the cowardice of the past and unable to extricate himself.

Lu Mingfei wanted to repeat what the Snake Qihachi family had done, killing the Yamata no Orochi in the red well, along with the ghost-toothed dragon vipers that escaped from Gaotianyuan with it.

There was a crackling sound from the earphones. It was Nono doing something quickly on the computer.

"Data show that the Akaki River flows from Yamanashi Prefecture to Tokyo," Nono said. "According to the records of the Snakeki Hachi family, this is an area where the civilization of the Gods was very densely distributed. It is indeed possible that the gods have been hiding in this underground river. But it is obviously impossible for Herzog to sink the Lenin, which was eroded by an ancient dragon embryo, into the trench for no reason and feed it to Takamagahara, who was left with only a group of corpses. His purpose in doing so could only be... to wake up the White King."

Lu Mingfei's pupils contracted, and he realized that Nono was summarizing the facts of another world and what had happened in this world.

This is also another application of profiling.

"The White King died long before the era when all kings ruled together. What Herzog awakened was actually Susano'o who was parasitized by the holy bones. Susano'o was contaminated by the White King's genes many years ago and turned into the Eight-headed One. The dragon is the Yamata-no-Orochi in Japanese mythology. The embryo of the Lenin and the ancient dragon provided the nutrients for Susanoo to wake up. After waking up, he followed the ethereal memories and left Takamagahara, passing through the underground river and entering Akira. There is definitely something in Onigawa and Akoni River that can help Yamata no Orochi further evolve. Maybe there are dragon bones buried in the gods of the city along the river basin, or it may be some kind of special substance..." Nono said here. Unable to help but shiver slightly, she whispered,
"But what is Yamata-no-Orochi evolving again? Is it the real White King?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned, and suddenly thought of Herzog who had stolen the power of the White King. He was spreading his wings in the clouds, extremely ferocious and extremely violent, and the moonlight flowing on his platinum-like scales was like a river of fire.

He waved his hand, and the turbulent flow of elements broke down the world's defenses. Just his consciousness could stir up the tide of underground magma. The four Japanese islands could be destroyed easily, and the entire world would crawl in front of that creature that has the characteristics of both a devil and an angel. Trembling.

Lu Mingze said that in front of the newborn White King, a mentally retarded child like Fenrir could not compare with him. Lu Mingfei interpreted this sentence to mean that... the White King was superior to the four monarchs.

Even a beast without intelligence would crave for such power.

Susano'o, who has fallen, may also aspire to become a greater creature. That is the countless power and power waving to him from the other side of the throne.

Lu Mingfei thought of a possibility. Perhaps the Yamata no Orochi was also looking for food. It was eager to evolve and evolve into... the Dragon King.

Maybe when it turns into a cocoon again, the one who emerges from the cocoon will be Susanoo, who has become the White King...

"Senior sister, you just said that the watershed of the Chigui River is an area with a very dense distribution of civilizations in the Age of Gods according to the records of the Sheqiba family." Lu Mingfei said quietly. He raised his head to look at the gray-white skylight at the mouth of the well, and felt that his whole body was full of Chilling,
"Is it possible that the bones of the Gods are what the Yamata-no-Orochi needs? Those bones that have gathered the fragments of the White King's genes from the ancient times. The Yamata-Orochi swallowed them and slowly replenished itself, until it finally restored the true White King. Bring it back to the world.”

In the distant sky, Nono shivered slowly.

"We now have enough reasons to kill the big snake crawling out of the grave as soon as possible, but... what should we do?" Nono asked hesitantly.

The academy is not worthy of complete trust. You can see that someone actually sent an assassin to assassinate Angers at Haneda Airport. The professors, executive committee members, and even the Senate and the school board of directors, the monarchs on the dark side have obviously put this mixed-race world under control. The largest institutions penetrated.

Who wouldn't covet the White King? That is the most virtuous and powerful creature under the Black Emperor. As long as he gets her holy remains, he can gain the power to resist everything.

But without the help of the academy, it would be impossible to rely on Lu Mingfei to dig a tunnel.

Are we really going to call Fenrir out?
But who knows how many pairs of greedy eyes are watching this country. Those careerists who have been planning for many years are eager for the power of the White King, but they are not willing to let go of the newly born, powerful and even indifferent land and mountains. King Fenrir.
-
The roar of the tanker's whistle completely overwhelmed the sound of the waves. Every ship and vehicle in this area lit up its headlights. Large and small circular light spots swept across the rough black sea, and the waves appeared in the snowflakes. Vast white.

Chu Zihang and Caesar stood on the edge of a fixed offshore platform in the center of all the light spots. This platform was locked to the bow of the oil tanker in the middle by a thick iron chain. Next to them was Diriyas with the hatch open. Special number.

The decks of every oil tanker were full of people, and the snow was still falling, but no one held up an umbrella. Everyone was silent except Susie, who was waving to Chu Zihang.

"Can you hear me, Caesar, Chu Zihang?" A serious male voice came from the encrypted channel.

"I can hear it," Caesar said.

"I can do it too." Chu Zihang said.

"You have the last five minutes to check the status of your equipment. In five minutes you will enter the Dieste and perform a dive mission. The operation code is 'Jiyuan'." The man said.

"Can you please tell me who is in charge of contacting us?" Caesar asked as he inspected the steel platform of the Trieste.

He and Chu Zihang had checked the equipment many times. The equipment department specially prepared waterproof combat uniforms for this operation. The surface of the combat uniforms was made of extremely thin and fine metal mesh.

The electrostatic barrier formed by this kind of thing can theoretically help them resist the mental impact of the embryo, but it mainly depends on the blood of the participants in the task.

In the world of dragons, blood is king.

In addition, the alchemical sulfur bombs and small nuclear bombs installed in the external magazine of the Trieste are also the focus of inspection. Although there is no plan for Caesar and Chu Zihang to sneak into the Abyss to release bombs, after all, It's something created by the equipment department, so it's still necessary to maintain basic respect.

"Cheng Shuangfan, I am from the China branch and was entrusted by Xiangyang to participate in this operation." The man said in a gentle voice, his voice was very magnetic. Caesar was stunned and looked at Chu Zihang.

"China branch...?" Young Master Gattuso looked at Chu Zihang suspiciously, feeling that he had discovered a blind spot. Although each branch under the college operates independently, most similar institutions will strive to show their value in front of the school board of directors to get more support. For example, the Spanish branch has a report on the serious damage to the next generation on average every year. But every time the search committee sent by the headquarters to investigate found nothing. Chu Zihang was wiping the Murasame on his hands, and his movements were slightly stagnant.

The Chinese branch is a rather special existence in the college system. In name, the school board still has direct jurisdiction over them, but in fact, the Chinese branch will cooperate with the college in actions against Western dragons. , usually in an autonomous state at other times.

For example, the actions in the Three Gorges could actually be said to have been carried out under the surveillance of the Chinese branch and those mixed-race families with real power behind the Chinese branch.

Odin's image is obviously that of a foreigner no matter who looks at him. At that time, this guy's blatant appearance near the Three Gorges Dam has offended some people in the country. Lu Ming insisted on being able to board the Monyach again. After holding that guy for half an hour, an elite team composed entirely of A+ and S-levels was about to arrive.

But the words "China Branch" put together are quite difficult to pronounce in the college system.

"Don't be nervous. I received professional training before accepting this task." Cheng Shuangfan said with a low smile.
"Actually, before I came to Japan, I was originally hunting down a fifth-generation species in Macau and his friends who were bewitched by that guy in the human world. They made 90 million yuan in the casino through the spirit of words, most of which was squandered."

"I'm really nervous when you say that, my friend." Caesar said, "It sounds like your training consisted of watching two hours of instructor videos in front of the computer."

"Actually, I only watched it for an hour... But so what, your Norma will take over all the operations anyway. I just need to know how to turn this computer on and off." The Chinese man said in a casual tone.

Caesar's eyebrows skipped a beat.

"In addition, there are two Titan-type exoskeleton armors in the mezzanine of the cabin of the Trieste. They are used for self-defense in case you accidentally break into a Nibelung that is not submerged by sea water. "The Chinese man said softly,

Chu Zihang remembered the kind of exoskeleton armor they had seen on oil tankers. At that time, it did not have much decoration and outer light armor, so there were many tracks, springs, rivets and condenser tubes exposed. White steam rises continuously from the evaporation port, and the Far Eastern metal style and steampunk style blow towards your face.

"We remember, now we are ready to enter the cabin." Caesar pressed the earplug and climbed over to the entrance of the submersible. He ducked in and the other ear was immediately filled with the sounds of the parts in the submersible. buzzing.

The Equipment Department had sent them the operating manual for this thing a long time ago, and now Caesar thought that there was no one in the world who was more familiar with it than himself.

"One last thing."

Cheng Shuangfan's voice sounded again in the earphones,
"Professor Schneider did not join the encrypted channel, but he asked me to convey an order to you."

He paused, as if hesitating.

"Destroying dragon embryos is not only an honor, but also a responsibility. You are all the most elite students the academy has trained over the years. You can shoulder this responsibility. Operation Jiyuan may be simple and smooth. You just need to You need to locate it, press the launch button of the sulfur bomb and the micro-nuclear bomb, and then float up. But things will never develop in a good direction 100%, and you may need to face the extreme situation of the unmanned deep-diving robot losing contact. , for this reason, you have to risk yourself and enter the deep sea. At this time, you have the right to do anything, with one exception - if you see a door or something similar to a door, you must not approach it, let alone enter it unconditionally! Return!”

After saying this, communication was immediately interrupted.

The hatch closed up and down behind Caesar and Chu Zihang at the same time, making a heavy metallic roar.

"Door?"

"Professor Schneider is an eyewitness to the Greenland ice incident. Perhaps this is a warning." Chu Zihang sat down in front of the center console seriously.
"A door in alchemy usually means the entrance to the Nibelungs, and perhaps Professor Schneider meant... away from any possible Nibelungs."

"That is to say, the academy believes that there is actually a Nibelung in the Japan Trench, and that Nibelung will be open to the two of us." Caesar also looked serious.

"It's not impossible. The Kingdom of the Dead is not exclusive to the Dragon King. Second-generation species and even some powerful third-generation species can also build their own Kingdom of the Dead." Chu Zihang has a thorough study of the history of alchemy and dragon genealogy.

Under Chu Zihang's control, a sharp whistle sounded from the inner walls of the deep submersible, and at the same time, white bubbles surged out of the underwater part of the outer hull, which was the air released by the Dieste.

The top of the Trieste is connected to the deck of an oil tanker with a safety rope. On the deck stands a huge wheel like the Xumizuo in another world. This wheel is wrapped with a metal safety rope that is almost ten kilometers or even longer. It is a recycling system specially designed by the Equipment Department.

Once Caesar and the others encounter an accident underwater, the academy can bring them out from eight kilometers of water within half an hour.

Of course, theoretically speaking, the Trieste will not have a chance to enter the Abyss this time.

“校表，2010年11月16日，东京时间10点15分。”

This time Cheng Shuangfan's voice sounded directly from the speakers in the cabin, and Caesar and Chu Zihang calibrated the time at the same time.

"Calibration completed." Chu Zihang responded.

"The coordinates are 122 degrees 56 minutes east longitude and 35 degrees 33 minutes north latitude. Operation Jiyuan has begun. I am the operation executive officer Cheng Shuangfan. I am now ordering the release of the Dieste."

"I wish you both... a triumphant victory."

The creaking sound of the safety line from the tightened state to the relaxed state was transmitted into the cabin. Chu Zihang and Caesar looked at each other. The two of them pushed the push rod in front of them at the same time, so the Dilieste moved in a fierce manner. Sinking fiercely into the deep, dark waters.

"Hey, Chu Zihang, you also know that there is actually a hell down there, right?" Caesar's voice actually seemed brisk in the dead silence that only hummed.

"Yes." Chu Zihang said.

The college's exploration equipment detected an ecological environment at a depth of four thousand meters that is completely different from any other place on earth. The ecosystem there is strange and unscrupulous. Some fish have grown second spines and extended two heads. , and some deep-sea animals have evolved unimaginably hard scales, which look less like creatures in the water and more like predators on land.

Reminds me of a biological term.

"The Biological Explosion."

But the last biological explosion known to mankind so far should be traced back to the Cambrian period. The genetic leakage of an embryo when it hatched caused a local outbreak similar to the Cambrian period.

"I have investigated similar incidents through family means." Caesar cut off the communication channel and slowly rubbed the barrel of the Desert Eagle's gun with his fingers.

“From the winter of 1943 to the spring of 1944, the college monitored an explosion of biological evolution in the northernmost part of the Arctic Ocean. A red tide swept the coastline and the water turned blood red. That was because the red tide algae had an unprecedented cold resistance and Varieties that are highly tolerant to salinity and alkalinity. At the same time, crabs and shellfish suddenly began to overproduce. In the following decades, there were many reports of giant creatures appearing nearby. Fishing boats even caught fish that were over 20 meters long. The -meter giant physalis squid and the case of a super-large megalodon attacking a small boat.”

King Physalis Squid.

Chu Zihang's heart trembled slightly.

He knew what the academy saw under the sea. This intelligent invertebrate was part of the evolutionary craze.

"The leakage of the ancient dragon embryo's genes changed the biological group of a sea area. They all became dragon subspecies, but they did not dare to leave. They could only wait for the god to wake up, wait for themselves to be eaten as food, and return the genes. "Caesar said harshly,
"Then the red tide in the Arctic Ocean was so large. Which god's genes were leaked? Did he take back all his genes?"

"What did you think of?" Chu Zihang frowned.

"Lu Mingfei invited us to go to Oslo together before. Do you still remember?"

Caesar looked at Chu Zihang, "According to the original plan, we should board a hybrid organization called the Far North and a nuclear-powered icebreaker to head to the North Pole... Will there be any difference between these two things? Related?"
-
In the darkness, the engineering elevator was running again. Lu Mingfei watched in horror as the thing went up and down again. It was obvious that some... uninvited guest had been packed inside.

But why would any staff appear here at this time?
The snow was so heavy that the mountain roads were blocked.

Those who appear here can only be ghosts!

There was a clicking sound, and the Desert Eagle's muzzle was raised and silently aimed at the engineering elevator that was about to open. Lu Mingfei held his breath and concentrated, and the red-gold light flashed in his pupils.

Crisp, rhythmic footsteps came out, and the slim and lonely girl walked out of the darkness with the snow on her shoulders, her eyes reflecting Lu Mingfei's figure under the spotlight.

"Zero?!" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then shocked.
