Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Following the road pointed by the traffic light, Li Ang slowly drove the car into a completely enclosed space.

Judging from the thick protective walls around it, even if a bunch of Originium bombs are detonated here, I am afraid that this room will not be able to break through. The level of protection is much higher than that of ordinary residential cities.

Standing in this huge room were two teams of fully armed soldiers, who looked very similar to the ancient soldiers in Li Ang's memory.

They were wearing shining silver scales, holding a red tassel gun, and carrying bows, arrows, shields and other equipment behind them. At first glance, they were the elite among the elite. Behind these soldiers, there were several people wearing lighter leather jackets. A, should be an army warlock or something like that.

After Li Ang parked the car, the soldiers gathered around, and Li Ang handed them the body badges, waist badges and talismans that he had prepared.

After verifying Li Ang's identity through these things, the captain of the group of soldiers respectfully asked Li Ang to get out of the car and began to check whether there was any contraband in the car.

This is understandable. After all, Shanhai City is a war fortress. Even if Li Ang is now a court official, there is no exception. If he brings something dangerous into this fortress, the price he will have to pay is not what they can bear. Can afford it.

"Li Sizhi, I wonder if these two are..."

During the inspection, they naturally saw Adele and the unconscious Liu Yi in the car.

"They are important witnesses I found in Dongguo. I need to bring them back to Dali Temple. Is there any problem?" Li Ang glanced at the captain and asked.

"This……"

The captain seemed hesitant.

It's not that foreigners are not allowed to enter the Yan Kingdom, but the atmosphere in the country has been a bit delicate recently, and new notices have been issued in various places, requiring the highest level of martial law in the near future.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, he didn't know if there was any problem in letting outsiders in during such a sensitive period.

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Li Ang simply pulled out the Jingzhe flag.

"This is a task assigned to me personally by Lord Tingwei. Why do you have any hesitation?" Li Ang frowned and said, pretending to be impatient.

The captain looked stern, and he suddenly realized that he shouldn't be involved in such troublesome matters. The Agor in front of him was indeed from Dali Temple. He had already used the title of Minister of Dali Temple, so let him He should bring people in. If anything happens, Dali Temple will let them handle it themselves. They can't be blamed.

"Please wait a moment, I will ask someone to help them apply for temporary identity documents. Please note that the certificate is only valid for one month. After expiration, they need to go to the household department to complete the procedures themselves."

Li Ang nodded, indicating that he already knew.

Then, the team leader took out a camera-like device and took a photo of Adele and Liu Yi.

The unconscious Liu Yi did make him look twice, but the smart team leader didn't ask any more questions. He knew that sometimes knowing too much was not a good thing.

After collecting the basic information, he stamped it with Li Ang's official seal and handed it over to his subordinates to help him apply for temporary documents for the two of them.

This is the advantage of entering through official channels. Without an identity document, it is not only difficult to get around in Yan country, but it is also very troublesome. It may be okay to hang out in some small villages, but don't even think about entering big cities.

A few minutes passed, and just as they were checking the contents of the car, a small door suddenly opened in the originally completely closed room, and a soldier ran out, ran to the squad leader and whispered What.

"What did you say?"

After a while, the team leader couldn't help shouting, with unconcealable surprise on his face.

From the other party's mouth, the team leader heard quite shocking news, which made him feel very lucky that his decision just now was indeed the right one.

"what happened?"

After the soldier who came to inform him left, Li Ang asked. He seemed to have heard them mention the words Dali Temple just now.

"The headquarters just received a message from the Minister of Dali Temple. The Minister of Dali Temple asked us to tell you that you should go to Gouwucheng as soon as possible. The Minister of Dali Temple will wait for your arrival there."

"You want me to go directly to Gouwucheng... I understand." Li Ang nodded thoughtfully.

It seemed that Jingzhe was indeed very concerned about his affairs. It had only been a while since Li Ang entered Shanhai City that Jingzhe, who was far away in the hinterland of Yan Kingdom, had already received news from him.

"Okay, you all come back, there is no need to check the rest."

On the other side, the squad leader called all his men back.

This is a big shot who can have a relationship with the Minister of Dali Temple. He may be that person's cronies, and he is still here to prevent others from wasting their time.

"Your Excellency, are you rushing to Gouwucheng now, or do you plan to stay here for a while?" the team leader asked.

"We have been traveling for a long time, so we are going to rest in the city for a day before setting off."

"Okay, I'll help you arrange a place to stay."

Shanhai City is a military fortress, completely different from an ordinary mobile city, so there are no hotels or other buildings in the city. If Li Ang and the others want to rest here, they can only ask the Ministry of War in charge of the city to arrange accommodation for them. .

After the team leader asked his men to return to the military camp on their own, he simply helped Li Ang drive and prepared to take them directly to their accommodation.

Along the way, Li Ang saw almost all soldiers in a hurry on the street, but few ordinary people.

He felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the city. Even though it was a military fortress, it was a bit too depressing, as if a war could break out here at any time.

After thinking about it, Li Ang asked, "Why do I feel that something is wrong with the atmosphere on the street? What happened recently?"

Hearing this, the team leader glanced at Li Ang and asked with some surprise, "You don't know?"

Before Li Ang could answer, he patted his head and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. News from the frontier fortress is not easily spread to the mainland. Since you have been working in Dongguo before, I guess you didn't listen. Passed."

The squad leader paused, organized his words slightly, and then explained,

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Even if the group of Ursus barbarians in the west have gone crazy and have been dispatching troops to the border, as of last month, three armies have gathered at the border. Shanhai City will soon be here I have received the transfer order before and will leave here soon to support the Ursus border."

Chapter 14 Goodbye Jingzhe

"You mean...a war is about to break out?"

Hearing this, Li Ang looked a little stunned.

Yan Kingdom and Ursus... If a war breaks out between these two countries, it will not be as simple as a small fight. The entire world will be affected by their war.

Did Emperor Ursus take the wrong medicine?They don't even have the strength to bully the children around them, so why are they provoking Yan Guo now?Do they really want to destroy the country in one fell swoop?

Dayan is the strongest country on the continent of Terra, bar none.

If a full-scale war broke out between Ursus and Dayan, although Yan Guo himself might not feel comfortable, Ursus would definitely lose in the end.

"War? It shouldn't happen yet." The team leader shook his head. "Now we are just on guard against the Ursus people's sneak attacks. We haven't reached the stage of war yet."

After finishing speaking, the team leader cursed again, "I don't know what those barbarians want to do. They haven't stopped since the end of last year."

end of last year?

This special time caught Li Ang's attention.

If I remember correctly, that was the time when Li Ang and his party returned from Sami.

It can be said that they did an earth-shattering thing in Sami. Sami was next to Ursus. It can be inferred from the time that not long after Li Ang left Sami, something abnormal happened in Ursus. I don’t know about the two. Is there a direct connection, or is it just a simple coincidence.

But I think it might be related.

At that time, Li Ang not only killed a real god, but he also solved a black disaster that had been rooted in the world for countless years.

To the north of the Ursus Icefield is the gathering place of the alien species. The black disaster that was the source was killed. Even if those alien species did not die suddenly on the spot, they should have been affected a lot.

Could it be because of this reason that Ursus was able to mobilize the troops originally used to resist the invasion of alien species from the Northern Plains?

There were more troops at his disposal, so Emperor Ursus had ambitions in his heart?

Of course, the guy driving the car in front of him definitely doesn’t know the inside story, but after seeing Jingzhe, he can ask her about the situation. She also experienced what happened in Sami with Li Ang, so she should know what happened. .

Afterwards, the team leader took Li Ang and his party to the headquarters of Shanhai City.

Li Ang did not spend too long in Shanhai City. As he said, they just rested in the city for one night and immediately set off for Gouwucheng the next day.

Before leaving, Li Ang asked for a more detailed route map from the local garrison, so he didn't have to worry about getting lost halfway through.

After finding the location of Gouwucheng on the map, Li Ang felt a little strange.

"Gouwucheng... Why did Jingzhe ask us to come to this place?"

Gouwucheng is located in the southeast of Yanguo, and they entered the Dongguo from the north. If they wanted to reach Gouwucheng, they would have to cross about two-thirds of Yanguo's territory. Li Ang was completely confused about where Jingzhe was. What to think.

Why did Jingzhe choose such a remote place to meet?Even if it is inconvenient for Li Ang and the others, Jingzhe should consider it for herself. Gouwucheng is also quite far away from Dayan's capital, which means that she has to travel quite a distance to reach Gouwucheng.

Unless...there is something special about Gouwucheng, Jingzhe has a reason to choose to meet there.

Li Ang doesn't have any clues at the moment, and he can't figure out the reason even if he guesses.

What follows is a long and boring journey. In a world where airplanes do not exist, traveling is a very painful thing.

Most of the road conditions in the wild are very bad. When driving on that kind of road, no matter how powerful the suspension and shock-absorbing system is, it will not help. After a few hundred meters, the whole person's bones will become soft.

Li Ang also wondered why there are various types of drones in the world, but no country has been able to produce an aircraft.

Later he learned that the reason was actually very simple. After the Source Stone engine left the ground, its actual power would drop inexplicably. The further away from the ground and the higher the rated power, the more serious the impact.

The affected Originium engine cannot drive the heavy fuselage at all, and small aircraft such as drones are already at their limit.

So until now, there have been no manned aircraft in this world. The aircraft in Rhode Island was obviously an accident, and I don't know how they did it.

Different from those Sangui areas that do not belong to any country, the situation in Yanguo is relatively safe. There are no bandits blocking the road along the way, and not even many infected organisms are encountered.

People have to sigh that a big country is a big country, and the environment is much better than the countries Li Ang has visited.

Regardless of Casimir or Letania, there are bandits roaming everywhere outside the mobile city, even Ursus is no exception. However, the place where Leon went was too remote, and even the bandits were not willing to go to the far north. That hellish place in the ice field.

There were no robbers who suddenly jumped out to block the road. After a few days, Li Ang finally arrived at Gouwucheng, located in the southeast of Yan Kingdom.

This is a very prosperous land, and there are even few natural disasters. Li Ang saw many small village settlements along the way. This is a scene that is impossible to appear in an area prone to natural disasters.

Under the guidance of local residents, Li Ang quickly found Gouwucheng.

Their entry procedures were very complete and they did not encounter too much trouble when entering. However, Adele was given a verbal warning because of her status as an infected person and was prohibited from going to the downtown area of ​​the city.

If you want to go, you must issue a physical examination report within half a month to confirm the specific condition of ore disease.

It seems that infected people are treated quite well in this country. They are not allowed to enter the downtown area because of normal epidemic prevention regulations. This gives them a glimpse of a corner of the huge country of Yan Country.

After entering the city, the first thing Li Ang did was to visit Magistrate Gouwu.

From the prefect of Gouwu, Li Ang learned about the place where Jingzhe lived in the city. It was a small courtyard located in a remote corner of the city. Except for the prefect, no one knew that the third-rank official of the imperial court lived in this place.

After some pleasantries, Li Ang said goodbye to Magistrate Gou Wu and went straight to the courtyard where Jingzhe lived.

Knocking on the door, and after waiting for a few minutes, the door to the yard opened with a creak.

"Long time no see, Miss Jingzhe."

Li Ang waved and said hello to Jingzhe.

Chapter 15 Excavation Operation

The person who opened the door for them was Jingzhe who had been separated for more than half a year.

Unlike when she was in Sami, Jingzhe did not wear the complicated and old-fashioned official uniform of Dali Temple. She finally dressed like a young woman now.

Jingzhe simply used her horns as hairpins, twisting her long golden hair into two high buns on her horns. She was wearing a very refreshing-looking no-sleeve top. Wearing a black dress with sleeves and pure white pantyhose exposed under the skirt, she looked full of youth and vitality, more than ten years younger than when she was wearing official uniform.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the old-fashioned style of the official uniforms of Dali Temple. No matter who puts on those clothes, as long as they don't show a laughing expression, they will look like an old stubborn who doesn't know how to adapt. The hint of sternness she revealed made her look older.

"It's you..."

Compared with when they separated half a year ago, Jingzhe's face is not very good now, and he looks a little more haggard.

Looking at Li Ang at the door, Jingzhe took a deep breath and forced a somewhat forced smile.

"Anyway, come in first."

With that said, Jingzhe took a step back and made way to enter the small courtyard.

"You look like you're worried. Did you run into some trouble? It's related to the organization you investigated before."

Li Ang asked casually as he followed Jingzhe towards the yard.

"Yes, and no, it's a bit complicated to talk about." Jingzhe sighed, and the sadness on his face deepened.

"Then let me change the question. Does this matter... have anything to do with you specifically calling us here?"

"Of course, Gouwucheng...it's a little special. I'll explain it to you later."

Jingzhe took them to a room deep in the courtyard, "Two...three people, please come in and sit down. I will slowly explain what happened."

Liu Yi was also brought in by them, otherwise they couldn't leave her unconscious in the car, right?

Although Jingzhe was a little curious about who the strange girl Li Ang and the others brought was, she didn't ask any more questions. Now that her troubles have not been resolved, how can she have so much energy to take care of other unrelated things?

For Jingzhe, it would be enough for Li Ang to come to Yan Country and let him meet his master, so that they would be more confident in solving the next troubles.

As for Li Ang's answer or not...that's not a question that Jingzhe needs to consider.

They made a bed in the room and temporarily placed Liuyi on it. Then they came to the living room and sat face to face at a wooden square table.
