Chapter 122
Chapter 122
Sure enough, the target arrived at this time, and through the thick layer of rain and fog, Ji Yao could clearly see that it was a huge bird. It had wings as hard as iron and sharp claws covered with scales. When it flew over, Like a lofty mountain.
Although it is not the first time to face such a huge monster, every time I see it, I still have an instinctive awe and fear in my heart.
The giant eagle hit the energy shield, and its body was like a meteorite falling on the earth, causing ripple-like shock waves. Ji Yao clearly saw the energy shield fluctuate, and the inner protective glass was also knocked out by the collision. Lots of cracks.
Xinghe issued an alarm again. The giant eagles had already begun to attack the flanks of the coordinate system, and they were hit in many places. They seemed to want to prevent the coordinate system from moving forward.
Outside the glass cover that Ji Yao was facing, the largest eagle was continuously launching an offensive. It fanned the rain with its wings, then made a high-pitched roar, and then used the power of the mighty thunder to compete with the energy cover.
The eagle was looking at Ji Yao, and Ji Yao could see its amber eagle eyes, which reflected the gray sky and heavy rain like thick fog.The giant eagle crazily hit the light blue transparent energy shield repeatedly and frantically, its tan feathers were scattered everywhere, those feathers were stained with blood, and the blood was floating in the wind.It yelled at Jiyao at the top of its lungs, slapped the heavy rain with its black cloud-like wings, and pecked at the edge of the energy shield with its curved beak.
There is a loud bang when it is pecked, and the energy shield fluctuates violently from time to time, and sometimes even cracks appear.Many armed enforcers surrounded Ji Yao. They raised their guns and pointed them out of the window. In front of Ji Yao's toes was the barrel protruding from the floor.
In an instant, a big hole was broken in the energy shield, which could almost allow a person to pass through. Suddenly, an eagle claw stretched into the gap, and firmly clung to the edge of the gap, preventing it from repairing.Everyone could clearly see that the eagle claws were dripping with blood.
Ji Yao looked at the scene outside indifferently, he did not order to fire.Just when the giant eagle was about to tear apart the energy cover and attack the glass, suddenly a burst of engine noise passed through the window, and the GRO-35 fighter jet flying around arrived at this time, and it turned its wings sideways, revealing the missiles hanging below.
Only then did Fu Zhong understand the reason why Ji Yao told him to reduce the radius of the ring flight. It turned out that he had long expected that the eagle would attack the command room.
Seeing that the missile was about to launch, Ji Yao suddenly pressed down on the earphone and yelled inside: "All listen to the order, no firing! The coordinate system stops advancing and returns to the normal track! Repeat, no firing!"
The plane in front of him retracted the missile pylon in an instant, raised its nose sharply, and left close to the back of the giant eagle.Fu Zhong lowered his head and looked down, the coordinate system stopped, and a hole was torn in the energy shield outside the command cabin, a mountain-like raptor was biting the hole, but as the coordinate system stopped, it also stopped He made a movement, and then fell down on the metal platform outside the glass cover.
The giant eagles that hit the coordinate meter left one after another, and they uttered a long cry, and the howling sound went straight into the sky.It seems to be the gospel sent down from heaven after the disaster.
The commanders breathed a sigh of relief while leaning on the railing. The irritable Canadian commander walked up to Ji Yao, pointed at his nose and asked loudly: "Mr. Ji, why did you suddenly change the direction of your advance without authorization? You don't know what this will bring us. How much is lost?"
Ji Yao turned his eyes and stared at the Canadian. There was no regret or guilt on his face. On the contrary, his expression was a little colder than before: "Mr. Merkel, didn't you realize from this incident that these huge Is the eagle trying to drive us into the mountains?"
"I don't care what it wants to do, Mr. Ji, your behavior disrupted order and caused panic. I hope you can give a satisfactory explanation for this."
"Mr. Merkel, I didn't order to open fire, and there was no bloodshed. The giant eagles couldn't open our protective cover, and they were the ones who were injured or injured." Ji Yao raised his finger to the outside platform, and one wing feather was broken in a mess The unbearable giant eagle fell there.
The command cabin returned to normal, everything was in good condition, the energy cover was repaired, and the cracked glass was replaced immediately.Mr. Merkel remained silent, while Ji Yao stuck the gun into his waist and looked at the boundless rain outside with his hands clasped together.
"For some purpose, these giant eagles want to drive us to the mountains. We have not yet obtained information about the interior of the mountains. There is a magnetic field disorder area, and our navigators will fail when we get there, so these giant eagles will be there for us. We guide the way."
"Mr. Ji, I believe in your decision-making and wisdom." Merkel said, his face still angry, "but I don't think your approach is correct."
Ji Yao wanted to say something, but he held back. He felt that such a quarrel was meaningless, and Mr. Merkel would not understand what he meant.In the end, he just bowed coldly and said, "I will explain this incident."
Merkel was full of anger, Ji Yao caught a glimpse of the Canadian leaving, and then rubbed his forehead silently.The rain was still falling, but the momentum was a little weaker. The misty water vapor covered the body of the fallen giant eagle, and the scattered feathers floated along the water flow.
After experiencing this incident, the giant eagle kept a certain distance from the coordinate instrument. As long as the coordinate instrument was still heading towards the unnamed mountain area, the giant eagle would not attack.Xinghe ordered the fighter jet to return, and Fu Zhong landed at the airport, stopped after taxiing, and touched the back of his head.
The fuselage was scratched by the eagle's claws, but there were no serious problems, and the missiles hanging below were not used.Fu Zhong stood beside the plane with his hat on and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. It was always neither far nor near, like a mirage.
Temporarily safe, Xinghe did not issue orders, and there was no sound in the command room. Fu Zhong checked the time, although he didn't know why he had to check the time.The pilot rested on the railing, and Fu Zhong pushed open the hatch and walked into another corridor, where he could see the airborne platform in front of the command room, which was mostly used to take off and land helicopters.
The feather drifted along the water to Ji Yao's feet, he stopped, bent down to pick up the bloody dark brown wing feather, and the assistant held an umbrella behind him to protect him from the rain.
There was a faint smell of blood floating in the air, but it had been washed away by the rain a lot.Ji Yao put on a coat and walked towards the giant eagle, and saw its feathers blown by the wind. The feathers were golden, bright and solid, and it was a very beautiful color.
The enforcers surrounded the eagle, armed with guns.Ji Yao stood in front of the giant eagle with his arms crossed. Compared with the giant eagle, his body was like a person standing in front of a house.The giant eagle is still alive, but has been seriously injured and is unable to take off.
Ji Yao's black windbreaker wrapped his body, standing on the flat landing platform, like a lonely flag.The giant eagle's body undulated weakly, its strong claws were already limp on the ground at this moment, the nails were broken off, bloody and bloody.
Although it fell to the ground, its eyes showed a brave and unyielding expression, the expression of a real tough guy.Eagle eyes are always looking at Ji Yao, eyes like ancient lakes, translucent, you can see the bottom at once.
There seemed to be many emotions hidden in those eyes, but eagles are not human, and eagles can't speak, so Ji Yao couldn't guess what kind of emotions it was.It looked at itself, as if looking at an old friend it hadn't seen for many years, with a heart-wrenching sense of déjà vu.
Ji Yao felt that his heart was seized by the eagle, he couldn't help but took a step forward, and the assistant behind hurriedly grabbed him: "Commander, you can't get close, it's a dangerous range."
"It's okay." Ji Yao said, and he walked towards the eagle, the rain dripping on the umbrella surface, making broken whispers.
Watching Ji Yao approaching, the eagle suddenly closed its claws as if frightened, and paddled its broken wings on the ground with difficulty, hissing from its throat, as if it wanted to back away and escape, which was a sign of fear.
Ji Yao stopped, and the rain flowed down the soles of his shoes. In the humid weather, he could smell the inexplicable fragrance of grass and trees, and the grassland was white and full of water.
Suddenly someone passed by in the corridor, Fu Zhong looked back, it turned out to be a scholar in a white coat.Professor Yang Qihua walked ahead, wearing a mask and goggles, and carrying a box in his hand, as if he was going to perform an urgent task.
"Is anyone injured?" Fu Zhong greeted Yang Qihua, and walked behind to ask Xiao Zhuoming.
Xiao Zhuoming shook his head and said, "It's not the man who was injured, but the eagle. The superior told us to wait, although I'm not a veterinarian."
"But my teacher is an expert in biology," she added.
Fu Zhong looked ahead, the two of them didn't make eye contact, Xiao Zhuoming glanced at the back of Fu Zhong's head, and asked, "Did you feel unwell on the plane? Your traumatic sequelae haven't fully healed yet. If you feel unwell, please come forward immediately." .”
"No." Fu Zhong said, "I'm fine. There are gods protecting me, and nothing will happen."
The gods he was talking about were not bodhisattvas in the sky, but Ji Yao. Probably in Fu Zhong's heart, Ji Yao was a god. Wherever he was, thousands of miles of rivers, mountains, valleys and pines were the background.
Xiao Zhuoming smiled and said nothing, she nodded in satisfaction, waved her hand indifferently, and followed the professor's footsteps into the elevator.
"The medical experts are here."
Hearing this, Ji Yao turned his eyes to look at Bailiang's gown in the rain, he simply nodded at them, his eyes met Professor Yang Qihua's for a moment, and then turned away quickly.Ji Yao watched them collect the blood samples of the giant eagle. The eagle was very obedient and did not resist.
After the blood sample was collected, it was placed in the container. Several interns covered the container and hurried away. They ran down the stairs next to it in the rain, which was in the direction of the biomedical laboratory. CUBL (Universal Research on Unknown Biology laboratory) is also set up there.
The rain had already wet the clothes of the experts, and the assistants couldn't cover them even with umbrellas.After all the samples were taken, Ji Yao started molecular recombination, and a crane and several pulley slings were erected on the landing platform in an instant.
He intends to transport the giant eagle to the inside of the coordinate system. On the one hand, he will treat its injuries, and on the other hand, it will conduct academic research. The biology laboratory has not entered a new species for a long time.
The laborers were brought up, and they tied the eagle's wings with rope.The wings were as heavy as lead, and it took more than a dozen people to barely lift them.Ji Yao noticed that the humerus and radius of the eagle's wings had been broken into several pieces, and the white bones had poked out the covert feathers.
The hooks of the sling hooked several corners of the rope, and the pulleys began to move. The crane hoisted the mountain-like giant and carefully placed it on the pallet. The broken wing fell down, and a few pieces of feathers fell off, golden, Like it's snowing.
Ji Yao saw that the eagle was transported up safely, and was turning around to leave, when suddenly a short eagle howled and fell from above, everyone was startled, the eagle that looked as if it was dead suddenly started to flap violently again, stunned The ground is about to fly towards Ji Yao.
Everyone looked at the commander, Ji Yao turned his head to look at the giant eagle on the high platform under the umbrella, and the rain fell on his lapel.Surprisingly, as soon as Ji Yao stopped, the eagle stopped moving and lay peacefully on it, waiting to be transported away.
Magic.
Therefore, Ji Yao was present throughout the whole process of transporting the giant eagle, until the giant eagle was sent into the transmission channel, and a large enough new space had been prepared for it at the other end.
The rain was still falling endlessly, Ji Yao rarely experienced this kind of continuous drizzle, her body was damp, like wrapped in a layer of wet almond blossoms.He stood under the screen with his pockets on his hands, and the navigator showed that the coordinate system had returned to the predetermined track and was heading for the mountain.
The giant eagle followed the coordinate system unhurriedly. Occasionally, a few unchained ones would fly to the front, flapping their wings and screaming at the steel monster, and then flapping their wings, heading towards the misty fog farther away. flew away.
This is guiding the coordinates.
There is no danger for the time being, Ji Yao asked Shanhua to deploy the defense line, all other weapons were withdrawn, the big things in the cellar were quiet, and the tense nerves finally relaxed.Shanhua went to the side and poured a glass of mint sweet water, walked over and put it in Lin Cheng's hand.
Lin Cheng's work has not stopped, he has to monitor the movement of the giant eagle at all times.A glass of water next to him was put down, and the aroma of mint rushed straight to his head. He picked it up and drank it, making his brain dizzy.
"How is it? Don't you want to take a break?" Shanhua pointed to the computer screen, "It said that there is no danger for now, you can move your eyes to other places."
"Chief Wei, it's my working time now. You will hinder my work." Lin Cheng's eyes wandered on the eight screens, his brows were dull, and he lit up the sign on his chest, which read "Specially Hired Inspector".
Shanhua pursed her mouth, took a sip of the mint water, and smacked the faint sweetness inside.He stopped talking, hummed a soft tune, and leaned on the table next to him to watch Lin Cheng type the keyboard and watch him skillfully process various image data.
After more than ten minutes passed, Lin Cheng had no choice but to stop rubbing his eyes. He clenched his fists and slammed the table, cursing, "Can you fucking stop singing?!"
The tune of the running water stopped abruptly, Shanhua drank the last sip of mint water in the glass, stared at Lin Cheng for a while, reached out to pick him up, and walked out the door: "I see you are tired, go have a glass of wine. Work is important , don’t forget your lover.”
Lin Cheng was furious. He had his hair combed back when he came, and he was wearing a full uniform. He thought he was specially hired by the commander, so his image couldn't be bad.After being tossed by Shanhua, her hair was messed up and her tie was crooked. Lin Cheng punched Shanhua and drank with her feet up.
Ji Yao took a book and sat down in the unoccupied lounge, and opened some curtains to let rainwater flow from the glass.He leaned on the armrest to make a phone call to Fu Zhong, and turned the chair to look at the mountains outside, but he couldn't see farther away, and the sky was submerged in the endless sea of clouds.
"Is it okay to go up? Are you injured?" Ji Yao asked, he heard the patter of rain from Fu Zhong's side, "It was really unexpected that the giant eagle suddenly attacked the plane."
Fu Zhong leaned against the glass of the corridor, leaned his head on the porch pillar, and caught a glimpse of the peach forest under the snow-capped mountains: "They don't have any malicious intentions, they just seem to be playing tricks on us. They don't have a substantial tendency to attack, otherwise we wouldn't be able to kill them all. back."
Ji Yao flipped through the book on his lap, which was the "Slavic Mythology". He often read it: "The giant eagle wants to take us to the interior of the mountain. The purpose is unknown. Just now I turned the coordinate device, which further proved this conjecture."
"Why did it take us in? What good are we for it?" Fu Zhong left the corridor, trying to pick a place where no one was around, "I can't figure out this problem. There are also iron chains. Find the head and tail, it's not normal."
"The monitoring station sent me the trajectory map. Guess what it is? It's a picture of a grimace, and the grimace appeared again. Do you still remember the time we went to Daxue Mountain? It was that grimace."
"Come here once and come twice. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. What are they trying to do? It seems to show us the pattern on purpose. Where is the code-breaking expert? Where is it?"
Fu Zhong connected the call to the headset, and threw the phone into the blanket beside him.He inserted the memory into the computer and called up the files to decrypt.Taking advantage of the free time, I have to study the data quickly and then destroy it.The room door was locked, only the phone and siren were not blocked.
Ji Yao turned over an illustration, thanked the assistant next to him for bringing him coffee, and then continued to listen to the phone: "The picture has been processed by expert Lin and transferred to the deciphering team, but I think they are also annoyed. Take a step One step further, our purpose is to find the source of the void, as for these things... it doesn't matter."
The last sentence he said was a little bit of a pause, as if he had weighed it over and over again before saying it. Fu Zhong noticed this, and he could understand Ji Yao's thoughts.The clock was ticking in the dry room, and Fu Zhong was still wearing a flight suit, a little damp.
"The Dragon King hasn't appeared for a long time." Fu Zhong said suddenly, his tone was like talking about an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, "I don't know where it is now, and when we can meet it again."
"Sounds like you'd love to meet it?"
"That's not true. I just think it's mysterious and a little curious. It didn't attack us, and even saved us. Don't you think there's something wrong with it?"
"What's the problem? We are ordinary humans, and we don't even know what species the Dragon King is. It's too powerful, so powerful that it doesn't care about us, just like we look at an ant, we can kill the ant with our fingers died."
Fu Zhong smiled and said nothing, he was thinking about what Ji Yao said, and what Ji Yao said was not unreasonable.On the computer screen in front of him was a stream of documents, and Fu Zhong quickly recorded them in his notebook, not letting go of any suspicious places.
It was getting dark, and it was already late in the evening. Usually, the sun was setting at this time, but now the thick clouds made the sky extraordinarily gloomy.It was getting dark early, and lights were turned on outside the coordinate instrument, and even a giant eagle would land on the top of the lighthouse and look up with its proud head.
Ji Yao glanced outside. In the dark atmosphere, he saw the gradually undulating flat land below through the clouds and mist, which also meant that they had reached the outer vein of the mountain, and if they went inside, they would be in the completely unfamiliar hinterland of the mountain. .
There have been problems with the magnetic field, the electromagnetic waves are disordered, and the satellites that follow the coordinate instrument often lose contact with the ground.However, the degree of disorder is still slight, and it does not constitute trouble.The high-level made a decision and decided to stop moving forward until after tonight. After all, it is not safe to travel at night.
"Commander, the weather station just got the data, saying that the rain will stop tomorrow morning, and the cloud will turn sunny." The assistant came in with a blue plastic folder, and spread the paper in front of Ji Yao. On it was the chart printed by the weather station.
Ji Yao took a look, nodded and said he knew, and reminded the assistant to go to rest.He stood by the window and drank champagne alone, then took out his mobile phone to send a message to Fu Zhong, holding the temperature trend and satellite cloud map between his fingers.
—Tomorrow the rain will stop and the cloud will turn sunny.
—We have already reached the outside of the mountain, and should not be far from the place where the "Bolevit" incident occurred.Tomorrow I will arrange for Professor Geng and his assistant to go down, and the profiling expert will follow.When you take them there, you are more familiar with this place than others.
Ji Yao sent a lot of messages, but found that none of them were sent, and the reminder "Please check the network connection" kept popping up.Ji Yao looked at the signal. The signal on the coordinate instrument is very good, all of which are of high configuration, and the speed is unimaginably fast. Why is there a problem with the network connection?
He stood in front of the window staring at the screen, swiped his fingers a few times, raised his eyelids to see the rain falling outside, the darkness was getting deeper and deeper, drowning him.He extinguished his cell phone and threw it on the sofa, and took out the mustard seed from under his neck. The red light on the mustard seed showed that he was not under surveillance.
Ji Yao boarded his own system and checked the network status of the coordinate system, and there was no problem.Maybe the signal was disrupted all of a sudden, Ji Yao thought, he lay down on the sofa and dialed Fu Zhong's cell phone number.
The call was normal, and the other side answered it quickly, and Fu Zhong said good evening to him.Ji Yao twisted his tie and smiled, now in the soft cushion, squinted at the rain, and said, "I couldn't send you a message just now, is there a problem with your network?"
Fu Zhong looked at the signal shielding system running on the computer, tapped his fingers, and said, "Maybe, the signal here is unstable and intermittent. What does the chief want from me? I just called, yes Didn’t baby miss me again?”
"I miss you, of course I do." Ji Yao covered his eyes and smiled, "Tomorrow will turn cloudy, I will arrange for Geng Shuming and his assistant to go down, and the profiling experts will follow. I want you to take them down, because you More familiar. I don't know if you want to."
He asked about Fu Zhong's attitude, even if he was a commander, when he was going to assign a mission to Fu Zhong, he always had to consider Fu Zhong's feelings at the first time.After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, I will find someone else."
Hearing Ji Yao's voice, Fu Zhong felt tender in his heart, apricot blossoms poured on the tip of his heart like spring rain, and flowers would bloom in a blink of an eye.He took over Ji Yao's task, after all, he just went down for a trip, no big deal.
"This is the benefit of turning the commander into my boyfriend." Fu Zhong said, listening to the phone, the smile on his mouth was about to overflow as he spoke, "You can choose to accept missions."
Ji Yao rolled around on the sofa twice and said, "Poor mouth. Can I go to you now? Want to eat something? I'll buy it for you."
"Not yet. I'll pick you up at the office later, and we'll go to the observatory to have a look. They should have covered the skylight so it won't rain."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. I'll contact you then."
After kissing through the phone, Ji Yao sat up, tightened his tie, and looked at the phone screen on his knees.He resent the message a few times and still couldn't send it, but the network was fine.
After sitting with fingers clasped for a while, Ji Yao stood up and pulled off the windbreaker next to him to put it on, tightened his belt expressionlessly, and walked out the door.Before going to the observatory, he had to go to CUBL to have a look. There was a living giant eagle there, and there might be some amazing discoveries.
