Volume 2: Scales in the Pond Chapter 170 Dead City
"Of course not. We have discovered some new corpses of ghost soldiers. They are not transformed, but the ghost soldiers from six years ago!"
“…”
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then the microphone was placed on the table, apparently he was continuing to communicate.
But having just experienced it in the morning, and happening again in the afternoon, it does seem a bit like a joke.
But no one dared to joke about this kind of thing. Although some people had doubts in their hearts, those who were notified still carried out the order immediately.
The garrison troops at the Xishan Ruins were quite annoyed.
Come in the morning and come again in the afternoon?
Didn’t we find out that what happened this morning has nothing to do with us?
But soon, photos came one after another, all of which were ghost soldiers dressed as ancient people.
And their weapons are all mixed with supernatural materials.
Especially the general's broadsword and the adjutant's spear, which can be considered good cold weapons. The fact that Qiao Ji didn't interrupt them yesterday is enough to prove it.
After all, with his strength, even if he attacks casually, ordinary weapons cannot withstand it.
If they were transformed from ordinary people, it would be difficult to get a group of men with long hair, and middle-aged laborers generally would not choose to transform themselves into those ugly monsters.
Moreover, it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain supernatural materials as it is regulated.
The special equipment distributed to people with special abilities is managed as strictly as guns and ammunition. If one is lost, it is a big deal.
It is not easy to track where these dead ghost soldiers came from, but fortunately, the collective power is strong.
This matter has been classified as a major incident and is being fully investigated. All police resources in Yujing are being directed towards this.
Near the West Sixth Ring Road, a large number of police officers began to investigate the area. After summarizing the complex information, they found that there had been many more thefts recently.
This corresponds to the many empty wallets in the unfinished building, indicating that these ghost soldiers had stolen money some time ago.
Inside the police station, someone also reported that they had encountered a person with special abilities acting suspiciously a week ago. They stopped him and wanted to check his ID card, but because they lost him, the matter was left unresolved.
There have been more than one such cases, which shows that the Yin soldiers have appeared a long time ago but have not been exposed, but they have left many clues.
After investigating for an entire afternoon, they finally tracked down the time when this group of ghost soldiers appeared half a month ago, and also their approximate range of activities.
"Judging from their current scope and trajectory of activities, they have just arrived in our society and have begun to actively integrate, which is a very dangerous sign."
"How many groups are there?"
"Is it a mission?"
"Why did he die again?"
Yang Chengrong shook his head. "We don't know all this yet. Leader, can't we apply for a person with the ability to go back in time?"
"There are more serious situations now that require time to rewind. At present, this problem is at most a crack in the ruins . We still have to find a way to solve it ourselves."
Even if the Xishan ruins were really opened, it would only take the dispatch of psychics and troops to suppress it, which would not be difficult.
What's more, they are just some ghost soldiers who escaped from nowhere, so we just need to plug the dog hole they escaped from.
"We have already sent a team of experts who study the space of ruins to conduct an investigation and research near the Xishan ruins. You should also track the traces left by the ghost soldiers and find the place where the ghost soldiers came out.
Two teams, two-pronged approach, win this battle as quickly as possible."
"yes."
Yang Chengrong and his team spent the entire afternoon investigating, and Qiao Ji felt anxious for them.
The most useful time-returning psychics seemed to have all been transferred away for a mission and were unable to provide support. Otherwise, if a time-returning psychic came at this time, everything would be easier and efficiency would be maximized.
Fortunately, these ghost soldiers did not seem to have the same awareness as Qiao Ji and could eliminate the smell, so after they spent a lot of time locking onto the range where the other party first appeared, Gou Zi appeared.
Use a dog to find it?
Even if it's a dog with special abilities, it's still a bit risky.
The place where they first appeared was at the edge of a residential area, and the dogs searched for a long time but couldn't find them.
After leaving the residential area, a search dog actually discovered the scent and led its trainer into the wild.
"There is a discovery."
When other search dogs approached here, they also reacted as if they had discovered the target.
Can this be found?
Qiao Ji was surprised, after all, he had just checked the weather forecast.
There had been two rains in the first half of the month, and the smell should have dissipated. He thought the dog should not be able to find it, even if it was a special-purpose dog.
But the fact is that there are discoveries.
Could it be that the ghost soldiers have a strong body odor?
No.
When Qiao Ji encountered the ghost soldiers that day, he felt that they were cold, without any smell, let alone the stench of corpses. They were just a little ugly.
Finally, the search dog stopped and barked around a pond.
The pond was filled with cracked soil and looked like it hadn't had any water in it for some time.
There are traces of turning the soil , and there are obvious footprints.
Qiao Ji immediately looked down with his clairvoyance.
He discovered that there was indeed something unusual underground. After penetrating the soil, his eyes reached a gray world.
The ground here is covered with withered yellow, jagged rocks, and dead trees with snake-like vines hanging on them.
His clairvoyance was very fast. After sweeping across a large area of desolate graves, he saw a road paved with yellow earth leading directly to a majestic black city.
The city wall is a hundred meters high, which is simply incredible.
The outside of the city wall is made of stone slabs, and the inside is filled with soil dozens of meters high, like a piece of arched land covered with stone armor.
Are you crazy? Who would build such a high wall?
Qiao Ji's gaze leaped in from here and he was surprised to find that inside the city wall was actually a living world of the dead.
Ghost soldiers with skin of various shades of gray live and trade here, and even drive horse-drawn carriages to transport living things. The horses are all undead.
This place is like an ancient world, except that the style is a little eerie.
And in the center of the city wall, there is the largest palace.
Qiao Ji immediately looked inside, he wanted to see who the owner of this place was.
"!"
A pair of cold eyes opened in the darkness, and their gaze seemed to have substantial power as it met Qiao Ji's clairvoyant gaze.
At that moment, the Soul-Devouring Blood Armor in Qiao Ji's mind vibrated.
Qiao Ji, who was in the last section, tilted his head back as if he was pushed, and his gaze was instantly retracted.
What a powerful mental strength!
Just by making eye contact, the Soul-Devouring Blood Armor began to shake continuously, as if it had been attacked.
If he were within the opponent's mental power range, even the Soul-Devouring Blood Armor would not be able to withstand a few attacks from the opponent.
Of course, during the little time that the Soul-Devouring Blood Armor can hold out, Qiao Ji also has a chance to counterattack, but that would be too dangerous.
