Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 57: Project Dawn
Donghuang, one of the most secret places in the Investigation Bureau.
There are wisps of gray fog all year round. Under the gray fog are several acres of farmland that have been reclaimed under the technical guidance of the Xinhuo Planting Department, where some mysterious crops that are easy to grow and have a wide range of applications are planted.
There are investigators and special forces on duty patrolling inside and outside the secret area.
Some are permanent, responsible for taking care of crops and monitoring the situation in the secret area and on the opposite side.
At this time, the gray fog rippled , and a sturdy man wearing black combat clothes, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a weathered face appeared in the center of the secret place.
Also appearing were several other people in combat uniforms.
"Director!"
"Director Tang!"
"Commander, you are back."
One of the team members was holding a bright torch in his hand, but it was already extinguished. He turned it off with a switch when he returned to the secret interface in order to reduce fuel consumption.
This group of people is the Donghuang pioneering team that entered the strange world, wandered around in the gray fog of the strange world, and explored it.
They are all elites from the Investigation Bureau and Special Forces.
In addition to Director Tang, there are two up-and-coming triple awakeners and three double awakeners, which is quite powerful.
"The first time we entered the strange world, we found out the situation on the other side."
"The second time we enter, we will eliminate all the dangers in the secret place and strange interface."
"The third time we entered, we walked a thousand meters outside the secret place and observed and recorded the secret place's appearance..."
At this point, Director Tang felt a little regretful, "Our secret place is located in the desert, so we can't see the kind of scene Xinhuo described, which is like a dilapidated city weathered for thousands of years."
"That may not be the case, Director Tang. I heard that Xinhuo has invented a new facility."
"Or maybe, it won't be long before we will be able to travel hundreds of miles in the strange world and walk to the city, just like we couldn't imagine before that there was another world on the other side."
The one who spoke was "Hongyan", a rising third-awakening expert.
He is a member of the special forces. The special forces and the investigation bureau have different responsibilities, but at the top combat level, it is common for the two departments to cooperate with each other.
After breaking through to the third awakening and stabilizing, Hongyan joined the "Ghost World Pioneering Team".
His ability is the magma hand, which can attack and defend. Compared with the past, his right arm no longer swells like a unicorn arm. This is the benefit of long-term use of the "calming and purifying" package of medicines produced by Xinhuo.
Pollution and alienation have been greatly reduced.
Now, the only things left on this muscular right arm are those red stripes, which have little impact on daily life and also give it a majestic skin appearance with a slightly red glow.
Hongyan is a little reluctant to see these stripes fade away.
"All products produced by Xinhuo are indeed high-quality."
"Potions are, awakening is, and the strange world is also."
"It's a fine product, and it's affordable and cheap." Director Tang did not deny it, "But we can't rely on Xinfu for everything. We at Donghuang must have our own technology, and we must be independent and self-reliant!"
"Just like this exploration of the strange world, Xinhuo is ahead of us and is much faster than us, but can we just do nothing because of this?"
"We need to conduct our own on-site exploration of the strange world, and we can also obtain more details beyond the Xinhuo data."
"What's more, in the face of disasters, this is not the responsibility of a single organization or country, but the responsibility of all mankind."
Director Tang paused, "Our next task is to go further and explore more strange environments. At the same time, we need to establish a real base in the secret strange interface, a base for long-term survival."
The Director sets the main tone.
At this time, the patrol team outside the secret area discovered something unusual.
"Director, there is a man walking towards our secret area. He...he is wearing some strange fiery red clothes with bird patterns, and he is leaning on a weapon that looks like a cane."
Not only was he dressed mysteriously, but he also appeared outside a secret place, such a remote and dangerous place.
Several senior executives of Hongyan looked at each other and immediately thought of one type of person - a visitor from outside the world!
A little surprised, curious and excited.
Director Tang said in a deep voice, "Come on, follow me to take a look."
Outside the secret place, there are endless sand dunes, which occasionally stir up gusts of dust, spreading and dyeing the sky yellow.
A figure was walking slowly on the sand dunes in the distance. His pace was very slow, as if he was deliberately waiting to be discovered.
She was wearing clothes that were very different from the style of Blue Star. Her fiery red hair, as bright as her clothes, was fluffy and swaying in the wind and sand.
What was shocking was that there was a circle of faint red light surrounding the person who came. Even if he was walking in the dust, the red light ensured that he would not be contaminated by the dust.
He quickened his pace and walked through the wind and sand.
Sure enough, the clothes and hair were still bright, without any sign of being covered by dust.
If you look closely, you can see that when sand and gravel fly close, the faint red light lingering around this person will flash slightly and burn the sand and gravel in an instant.
This move immediately stunned many experts from the Investigation Bureau and special forces.
Who is he?
"This is a strong man!"
Director Tang thought to himself that his rich combat experience and fighting instincts told him that the strength of the person coming was probably not inferior to his, and might even be stronger.
After all, it is a great oasis force that came from the strange world and has existed for many years.
Strong, no wonder.
Director Tang was not very surprised. It was not the first time he had seen a strong man. There were many people in Xinhuo who were stronger than him.
He walked forward.
"Visitor from afar, please tell me your purpose."
"My name is Yanxiao, and I come from the Blazing Oasis. I am here to save your world."
The words from his mouth spread out in ripples of special spiritual frequencies.
Looking at the surprised indigenous humans in front of him, Yan Xiao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly.
It was worth it for him to rely on Fengsha Xiaolu. As long as he could scare these indigenous humans, he would be able to firmly take the dominant position.
soon,
Yan Xiao followed these Blue Star people to a base dozens of kilometers away from the secret place.
He also encountered some strange and evil things along the way. He wanted to take action and show the power of the people of the Great Oasis, but he couldn't find the opportunity.
Hongyan came on the field and instantly killed a two-star Guixie that was blocking the way.
Another rising third-awakening "Dawn" also took action, slashing out a sword light that cut through the darkness and KOing another two-star.
Yan Xiao raised his hand slightly and then put it down again.
Forget it, since this is Blue Star’s own world, let these evil creatures be dealt with on their own.
that is……
This world does not seem to be to be underestimated and is one of the stronger ones.
Yan Xiao made his judgment and said, "I come from the Great Oasis, and I know very well the process of the world being invaded and gradually destroyed. If I am right, your world is now being invaded by evil."
Hongyan and Poxiao looked at each other.
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
What you said is right.
Director Tang narrowed his eyes, said nothing, but just stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, "Please continue your performance."
"According to observations from my Burning Flame Oasis, your world is about to enter the middle to late stages of apocalypse. A tide of gray fog will arrive, and by then, evil spirits will swarm in and destroy all order in your world."
"The destruction of the world is inevitable, but as the elite among humans, you still have a chance to survive, and this is also the purpose of my coming here."
Yan Xiao threw out the ultimate killer weapon - a new oasis!
They, Zhuoyan, know the coordinates of a new oasis. If they develop it themselves, it would not be cost-effective due to distance and other reasons, so they plan to "sell" this new oasis.
It's not a simple sale. The price of the oasis is something that the indigenous people in the world cannot afford.
"If you can accept these terms, we in the Blazing Oasis can immediately provide you with assistance. Chief Tang, please consider this carefully. The sooner you agree, the more elites on your Blue Star will survive."
But Director Tang immediately denied it.
"Don't think about it. We are not interested in the Oasis."
Yan Xiao was stunned.
In his opinion, this was obviously a lie, and the man was just trying to use it to seek more favorable terms for himself. He had seen and heard of many such natives.
He was not angry, but just said calmly, "It's okay, we can wait for your reply, but Chief Tang, don't forget that the longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. When the world is completely destroyed, it will be too late."
"No, Mr. Yanxiao, you didn't understand what I meant."
"We never pursue an oasis. We in Donghuang will not abandon any of our people. We will stop the coming tide of gray fog. This is our way of survival."
Yan Xiao's eyes widened.
Looking at Chief Tang, who did not seem to be faking it, and other Blue Star warriors who obviously agreed, he could only snort, "Stupid, you will regret it!"
When the gray fog tide comes, when you realize that everything you have done is in vain, you will come to me for help.
…
Under the cover of night.
Huangdu, the top floor conference hall of the Investigation Bureau headquarters.
Deputy Director Huang, Deputy Director Liu and other senior executives took their seats, and some, such as Director Tang, who were not at the headquarters, attended via video conference.
They were talking about what happened to the messenger from the Burning Oasis today.
"It's wishful thinking that we should sell ourselves off to an unclear oasis."
"We still don't know whether the identity of this envoy from the Blazing Oasis is real or fake."
"An ordinary oasis can't accommodate many people. Whether it's true or not, this is not the path we want. Abandoning hundreds of millions of people and fleeing to the oasis alone?"
Director Huang was disdainful.
When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Even if there is no way out, we will create a way out. Moreover...
"How's Project Dawn going?"
"The whole country is currently mobilized, and all kinds of materials are being quickly prepared. Once the site is determined, we are confident that a base city will be established quickly in a short period of time."
The Dawn Project is a plan to build a giant base city in Donghuang that is capable of protecting human safety!
It must be able to accommodate a sufficient number of residents and ensure basic living conditions.
The core of the plan is the word "dawn"!
The dawn that dispels the gray fog.
"Building a base city can concentrate our forces for better defense, but..."
When there are too many people, it is more likely to trigger an evil wave.
What is even more troublesome is that having more people can only reduce the infiltration of evil spirits, but is far from being able to stop it. Similarly, in a crowded situation, once two or three star evil spirits appear, it will be a major disaster.
What Yan Xiao said was not wrong.
Director Huang is also very clear about this.
but,
They still chose to believe in Xinhuo and chose to save the entire Donghuang.
Project Dawn has begun. When the gray fog shrouds the sky, can they... see the dawn again?
