Starting from Zero

Although it took longer than expected, the gang of scientific research had to take a look, so we pushed open the door protected by the golem guard, and the situation behind this was a little surprising.

According to the original expectations, this door should be similar to a rest area or an office area, at least a place to live. However, when we opened the door, we saw a natural tunnel. Inside this tunnel are all naturally formed rocks. At a glance, you know that this is definitely not a man-made passage. At most, the ground is slightly flattened. The walls and the roof are formed naturally.

"Are there still passages?" Said the gold coin. "These guys really use the stove in the cunning rabbit caves!"

"No way, who told us we want that research!" Christina said, "And don't you think this is a good thing?"

Christina is right, this channel is actually a good thing for us. Although the existence of this passage means that the other party has ran away from other exits, if it does not exist, the other party is blocked by us in a dead end, and then the other party will only escape when there is no hope of escape. Being able to get rid of those scientific research first gave us nothing. But now, because there are other exits, the other party is not in a state of exhaustion, so naturally there is no need to engage in jade and burn. So this channel might be a good thing to say.

Although the other side ran away, we did not intend to give up. Those guys certainly couldn't get faster with a bunch of scientific research. Of course, because we were delayed too long by that **** golem guard. Therefore, the opponent must have run a certain distance, but as long as the opponent has not exceeded our tracking range, it does not matter if it is far away.

In order to prevent the other party from having a mechanism in the passage, I released Bailang and darts to let them explore the road in front, but in the end we ran through the entire passage in one breath without encountering any slight obstacle. Except for the length of this passage, there is no trap.

This channel is not horizontal, but has been turning in zigzags, and is constantly climbing upwards, like a stairwell, except that there are no steps on the ground. When we ran this long track that was comparable to a marathon, we were completely dumbfounded.

There is no underground cave in front of me. It is a semi-open port. The port is still located inside the mountain. However, its opening is large, and although the pier has a large horizontal span, the pier entering the cave is not deep, so we can see the blue sky and white clouds even when standing on the shore.

"Are we here to the sea?" Radamantis asked, looking at the sky outside.

Real Red ran back and forth on the pier. Then he said, "There were originally at least three ships parked here. But they all went out. The anchor chain on the dock was burned by magic. And there were some magic crystal powder in the warehouse."

"You guys wait here first." I said, spread my wings and flew out, and started to climb upwards as soon as I left the gate of the port. During the climbing process, I first turned around and looked at the condition of the port, and found that the port was built on an island. The area of ​​this island is not very large. Of course this is relative to an island. Its actual area may be equivalent to the total area of ​​three to four capital airports, and a little larger. This area is more than enough as a base anyway.

The terrain on this island is not very complicated. The entire island is a crater with a height of about 100 meters on the periphery. To the inside is a relatively flat woodland. The plane is more than 70 meters high, which means that it is close to the height of the crater. Inside the relatively flat area of ​​this circle is the highest mountain on the island. The height of this peak may be close to 500 meters, which is a lot higher than that of the crater in the outer circle, and the result looks quite stable. It looks like it is easy to collapse.

If in reality, this island doesn't really have much value for transformation, because there is no water source here, but in the game, this limitation is not a problem at all. Coupled with the vertical passage leading directly to the submarine base, and the semi-natural port here, this island can be transformed into a maritime fortress with a little modification. To use. Of course, the location of this island is also good. It is just in the middle area of ​​Tianpingyang, which can provide midway supply and maintenance for our guild to the US side.

After observing the condition of the island, I continued to climb, and then summoned the flying birds and lucky dragons in midair.

"Well? This place is good! Boss, did you summon us out for a vacation?" Fortunately, this guy started to laugh at him as soon as he came out.

I didn't joke with him and assigned tasks directly. "You guys have good eyesight. Search in different directions to see if there are any ships in the nearby waters. Report me as soon as you find them."

"Understood." The dragons and birds flew apart as soon as they were ordered to fly out in different directions. The other side used a ship instead of a submarine this time, so we might find the other side from the air. The most important thing is not only the daytime, but also the light intensity is very good, there are no clouds in the sky, and the visibility is very high. As long as your eyesight is good, everything within a few hundred kilometers can be seen at a glance. I don't think the other party can go hundreds of kilometers away in such a short time.

In fact, although we were delayed by the Golem Guard for a while, in fact, it was only about ten minutes before and after. The other party had so much scientific research, it was definitely not as fast as us through the passage, and it took time to board the ship and go to sea. In this way, the other party can leave the port at least a few minutes earlier than us, even if we assume that the other party's speed is as fast as lightning, and we go to the sea more than ten minutes earlier. How far can you run in more than ten minutes, even for a Formula 1 race? With such good sight, we dispersed our forces and went out to search. Surely it is possible to post goals.

but. There are times when things are not something you don't think will go wrong. For example now. When I and my group of magic pets flew in the sky for half an hour, they finally gave up the search and returned to the port.

The slowest of my pets and I have a flying speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, which is absolutely impossible for any boat, including hovercraft and hydrofoil. However, even after flying at this speed for half an hour, we still could not find any ships. No, it's not nothing. During the period, Xiaosan and Asuka each found a ship, but Asuka discovered an Australian player's sailboat, and this was also a wooden carrier. The structure and speed of this ship are completely different from the one we are looking for. Besides, the other party was leaving three ships, even if Xiao San and Asuka found both of them were each other's ships. Where's the other one? What's more, Asuka discovered that the Australian player's ship was the root. And the third one met was our own guild.

After the boat of our guild was found, Xiaosan went up and asked about the situation. Because it was his own ship, he quickly completed the identification. After that, the other party said that he had not found anything else within five or six hours. vessel. That is. Our trail is completely cut off.

The enemy's departure from the port was at least ten minutes earlier than us. In fact, under normal circumstances, the other party's departure from Hong Kong three minutes earlier than us is already considered as fast. But the fact is that the other party has left Hong Kong. And run away.

On the way back, I reflected on it. I first guessed that the other party was using a submarine, but later it seemed impossible. There are traces of ships just leaving the port. And the traces left by these ships indicate that these are all ships in the ruins, and there are no ships built by the players themselves. Most of these ruined battleships have various problems, so it is impossible to use the sailing ability of the Super Bull Fork as soon as they are obtained by the opponent. Although diving is not very complicated, it is obvious that the ship is not a submarine. Although the structural warship we found before can also dive, but the east needs an intelligent core. The other party obviously does not have the technology to start the thing, so even if the other party gets a boat, it can only be a surface ship, and it cannot be underwater go away.

In addition to the other party diving away, one other thing I can think of is that the other party is beyond our tracking range. However, this guess is even more impossible, because we will definitely not chase back much later than the other party. At our speed, if the other party can still run out of our detection range, the only possibility is that the other party's ship can run at speeds above subsonic speed, but this is obviously unrealistic. Atlantis's propeller technology is indeed much more advanced than the technology that players have researched, but it has not yet reached the point where the ship can run at subsonic speed. In fact, there are only a few hundred-kilometre-per-hour ships in Atlantis. They are all small transportation boats without any armed and reconnaissance functions. They are designed to test the speed limit. If even the type of ship used to test the extreme speed can only run at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, then this subsonic ship obviously does not exist.

If running out of the detection range and diving escape are unreliable, then there is only one remaining possibility.

"The other party has a device similar to our mirage system?" Gold Coin asked in surprise after hearing my words.

Christina analyzed next: "If the situation that the chairman said before is all right, then this is indeed the greatest possibility. There must be a camouflage system on the other side of the ship, otherwise it would be unreasonable to be so fast. Out of our surveillance. "

"But doesn't the chairman have the ability to see through all invisibility and disguise?" Gold Coin asked.

I quickly clarified: "All I can recognize is the illusion formed by spells. For example, invisible things can have a certain detection effect, but they do not have much effect on optical camouflage."

The so-called optical camouflage is to use the way of refracting light to change the light and the actual situation seen by the other party, so as to achieve the purpose of invisibility, camouflage, or dilution of existence. This is not the same thing as magic camouflage. Because the optical camouflage does not affect the other party ’s vision, the other party does see the real light, but only because of the illusion caused by refraction, so the general anti-stealth type detection skills are invalid for this camouflage.

Of course, optical camouflage is not a panacea. Although this camouflage is not affected by detection techniques such as anti-stealth, the camouflage effect of this camouflage itself is very bad. Although it is not easy to find when the distance is long, if you look closer, you will easily find the light traces in front of you. That feeling is like putting a very clean, high-transmittance glass in front of you. Although it is transparent, it hardly affects your sight and may even make you bump into it without special attention. , But you only need to pay a little attention to find that there is indeed a glass there.

The best effect that the optical camouflage in the game can currently achieve is this glass-like effect. Although you can hardly see it without paying attention, you can still find it if you look for it carefully. But ... just now, I was lucky to observe them in the air. Although my and my gangs of dragon pets have abnormal eyesight, in order to increase the range of sight, we all observe the sea at a height of more than 1,000 meters. And, at the time, it was a general browsing method. After all, the sea was so large that we couldn't focus our attention on a small area. That would be too slow.

I estimate that the other party can run away from our eyes ~ www.readwn.com ~ because our investigation method failed to find optical camouflage, and the result was leaked directly.

Anyway, people are lost, which means that our previous efforts have been lost. Kristina remembered that she could contact Yamamoto 55, but the result was just as I expected. Yamamoto 55 signal was unreachable.

When we were sighing and sighing there for the failure of catching those, we suddenly heard the headphones ring. To be honest, it is really strange that this kind of local communicator can be connected, because this place does not seem to be covered by the communicator of our guild.

Although I don't know why it turned on suddenly, I started the communicator and heard the voice of the army god.

"Looks like you lost your goal?"

"You already know?"

"Well, the member named Yamamoto 55 contacted me." Army God said unhurriedly.

"What? How did he contact you? Where are they now? Why not contact my newsletter instead and contact you directly?" (To be continued ...)
