Mountains and seas have a home

Chapter 159

Jiang Qu patted the dust off his underwear, took off his gloves, knelt down, and bowed in the direction of the black cloud.Jiangqu is a Tibetan, his face is dark, and his expression has the kind of firmness blown by the cold wind of the plateau.Beeswax and turquoise beads are often hung on his ears and chest, which looks ancient, just like the mani piles that can be seen everywhere on the plateau, and it is unknown which generation has piled them up.

The two Tibetan guides in the team bowed their heads and bowed together with Jiangqu at this time.Chen Wei and He Luan stood aside, they didn't kneel because they didn't have this belief.Jiangqu worshiped for a long time, he put his palms on the ground, and touched the soil with his forehead.

Yang Qilan received an urgent report about the attack in the temporary headquarters of the special warfare formation under the mothership. She walked up to the high platform and used a telescope to look at the carrier carrier hovering on the top of the mountain. There was indeed a black shadow in her vision. Incredibly big.

She put down the binoculars and squinted up at the bright white lights of the mothership, as if looking at the moon—even though the moon had disappeared for 30 years and existed only in the memory of the old people.Yang Qilan didn't wear a hat, her hair looked even paler in the thin halo, and even the wrinkles on her face deepened a lot.

The tight lip line made her lips look thin and stern. The lieutenant general looked back at the canyon that the special warfare formation was passing through at this time, and heard the slightly anxious voice of the young school officer next to him: "Lieutenant general, do you want to notify the mothership to open?" Close-in defense weapon system?"

"No need." Yang Qilan stared at the mothership for a while, her voice was particularly quiet in the darkness, and even made people feel frightened, "Let the mothership turn off all the lights inside and outside, and leave the rest alone. No firing is allowed. Also, keep the communication going.”

The school officer glanced at Yang Qilan, then went to look at the flickering mothership under the shadow, hesitating and not moving.Seeing that he didn't speak, Yang Qilan turned on the communication channel by himself, calmly ordered the mothership to turn off the lights immediately, and strictly prohibited firing.

After she ordered, she said to the officer, "Do what I tell you. I don't like people who drag their feet. You should be as decisive as I am, or I'll kick your ass, soldier. "

The school officer gritted his back teeth, stood up straight and said, "Yes, sir."

The searchlights outside the mothership went out one by one, and the thin halo gradually dissipated, just like the moon disappearing in the mountains, and the hills returned to the thick black like splashed ink.Yang Qilan stood on the stage watching the lights disappearing from her eyes, she remained motionless, pursed her lips and said nothing.

The black cloud flew around the mother ship, flapping its huge wings. Looking at it from a distance, the wings were like altocumulus clouds before a summer rainstorm, crushing the border.From time to time, it slapped the mothership with its wings and hit it with its body, as if it was testing or playing a game.

Amidst the dull sound from above, the school officer asked Yang Qilan in a low voice: "Sir, what is that thing? If we just let it behave like this, will nothing happen?"

"What happened? What happened?" Yang Qilan glanced at him, resting his hand on the railing, a layer of frost formed on the gray glass, which was quickly removed, "If something happened, do you still need to help him?" Is it right? It’s just a bird, let it go, can it blow up the mothership?”

The school officer came up a little bit, leaned against the glass window and looked out, his face was almost pressed against the window: "Is that a bird? Sir, it's impossible, what kind of bird can grow so big? It's impossible."

Suddenly there was a piercing sound of electric current, and the spider web in the sky suddenly burst into a burst of white light. The light penetrated the clouds and shone on the ground, hanging down like a waterfall, appearing and disappearing from time to time, like a miracle.The lighthouse where Yang Qilan is located is the highest point of the command base. It stands alone on the flat ground. The rows of flat-roofed houses and the helicopters scattered in various airports all appear extremely low and unreal.

Suddenly the siren sounded in the base, and Yang Qilan hung up her earphones. She heard the announcement from the monitoring station in the earphones: "Sir, the cavity is expanding, and the internal distortion exceeds F-level. There is a risk of explosion. It has not yet reached the Abier point." , the specific value is being detected. We have reported this situation to nearby outposts and troops, but communications and radar are affected. Do you need to activate the red alert and enter a state of first-level combat readiness?"

Yang Qizhen stood on the lighthouse and did not leave. The intense white light came in from the window, dyeing the window a bright light blue, and Yang Qizhen's face was also exposed to the light.The school officer reminded Yang Qilan to be careful and advised her to leave the lighthouse immediately and go to a protective bunker.

But the female officer did not answer the school officer's words, her eyes moved from the mothership to the sky, and the net-shaped light flickered in the clouds.After the cavity is distorted, charged particles are strongly erupted, and the upper atmosphere is continuously ionized, and an unusually gorgeous aurora appears on the plateau.From under the skirts of the gods, there was a long, unique howl of a bird of prey, and then a mountain-like shadow suddenly rose into the sky, and a gust of wind rolled down the mountain with the flapping of its wings, and collided head-on on the lighthouse, shaking The glass rattled.

"There is no need to turn on the alarm lights. In addition, turn off all the lights in the base and activate the spare lighting equipment. Be careful not to expose the lights. The whole area has entered a state of first-level combat readiness, and the protective cover is allowed. Please keep the communication smooth." Yang Qilan turned to the pager Said that she lingered on the lighthouse with her back propped up, occasionally raising her eyes to see the situation in the sky.

"Why do you have to turn off all the lights?" The school officer didn't understand. He watched the overhead light being turned off by Yang Qilan, "This place is already dark enough, you can't see anything."

"This is a strategic need, soldier. There is a giant eagle flying overhead. You don't need to know what it is. You just need to know that it is a big bird. It has been ramming blindly on this dark plateau for many years. , it is a monster crawling out of the abyss. If you stand closer and look carefully, you will find that its eyes are red, just like the eyes of deep-sea fish. This kind of creature that lives in the dark is very They're super sensitive to light, and it makes them go wild, and if you've ever had a lizard you know what that's all about."

The school officer was suddenly speechless, he raised his finger to point to the sky, gestured twice, opened his mouth and made no sound.Yang Qilan suddenly turned his back: "You want to ask me why I know so much? That's because I've seen it before. As for how I met it, that's another matter, you don't need to I know. All you have to do now is to go to the monitoring platform below, put on your communication equipment, and then sit in the protective bunker and wait for my order to fire, understand? Soldier? Hurry up! Execute immediately!"

Yang Qilan's voice became more and more harsh and hasty, her white hair was neatly coiled behind her head, and the skin on her neck was slack due to aging.The school officer didn't dare to stand in front of the officer any longer. After saluting, he put on his hat and quickly turned down the stairs.

The scope of the aurora is getting bigger and bigger, and the whole sky is filled with blue-green light.Yang Qilan turned on the computer on the lighthouse, and the satellite sent an image. The aurora zone has spread to the Shigatse-Lhasa area, and the radio telescopes almost covering the entire plateau are all aimed at the center of the hollow.

The figure of the giant eagle shuttles among the floating clouds, and those floating clouds are not even as big as its body. When it hovers and rises, its reflection will be reflected in the sky.The sky is like water, and the water is also an upside-down sky. When you stick out a fishing rod, you can catch three fish at once.

There is no danger on the ground for the time being, and the sound of electric current from the cobwebs is continuous, and often spherical lightning strikes down, hitting a certain desolate place, making earth-shattering sounds.The data indicators on the screen of the monitoring station kept rising, and red warning signs flashed.

"Has the special warfare formation been contacted?" Yang Qilan pushed open the door and walked into the communication room. There was a buzzing sound from the computer, which sounded like a buzzer. "There will be falling objects after the cavity explodes, and they must find them as soon as possible." Protective bunker, Point Abier is coming soon."

"Replies have been received from all formations. The communication signal and positioning system have been seriously interfered with, requesting to transfer to an independent satellite and an independent electronic orbit."

The staff member with the phone next to him leaned out, raised the microphone in his hand, and said: "The only satellite passing above our heads is the 'Bailu' No. [-], and there are five or six astronomical stations in front of it. Answer, our level and authority are not enough."

"What's the matter with the astronomical station?" Yang Qilan propped up his waist and looked around the screen. The satellite was passing overhead, and the coverage area happened to be the aurora area. Answer the phone myself. We need to ask him to open the authority."

The correspondent quickly dialed a number, and after listening to the microphone for a long time, he turned around and brought a sad news to Yang Qilan: "I can't get through, no one answered."

Yang Qilan scolded bitterly, rubbed the space between his brows irritably, and looked up at the flashing numbers on the screen while supporting his lower back.After putting down the phone, the correspondent asked: "Do you want to send a helicopter to the formation station?"

"No need." Yang Qilan quickly refused, she wandered around the room twice, "The aircraft will be watched by that damn eagle, that stupid bird does not allow other things to fly in its airspace."

Suddenly there was the roar of planes outside, Yang Qilan put on his coat and went out, and several fighter planes just landed.There is also a "Hot Air Balloon" amphibious carrier aircraft behind it-it looks like a metal hot air balloon.

They came from the Himalayan border guards. The "hot air balloon" carried the raw material of the spider web sealed in the molecular compressor. If the spider web on the top collapsed, it could be repaired immediately.

The captain of the flying squadron got off the plane, Yang Qilan tightened his coat and walked over, shaking hands with him, the captain walked with his helmet on and said, "The giant eagle appeared again? The last time this happened was 13 years ago Yep, we're seeing it for the first time."

"It should be the light of the carrier carrier that attracted it, or some other reason, in short, it looks very manic." Yang Qilan walked into the office, "I don't know how long the hole will go crazy, if the aurora doesn't dissipate quickly Drop it, and that thing will have to keep spinning above our heads."

"If we don't attack it, it is considered non-aggressive to us, Lieutenant General, please relax." The captain put the helmet on the table, and he was still wearing a gray-black flight suit, "What you have experienced, No one knows more about giant eagles than you do."

"Of course, I understand, Captain Yuan, no one in this base understands it better than me. But my soldiers and my special warfare formation are still scattered in the valley, and some of them are people from the time bureau. I have to be more vigilant .”

"How can there be a time bureau? What tasks are you performing? The time bureau has always only done tasks and ignored their business. Is there anything here that interests them?"

Yang Qilan wandered around the office with her arms folded, her leather boots on her feet: "Secret mission, I can't tell you. Now is not the time to discuss this. The problem we are facing is a hollow space and a terrifying giant eagle. "

The captain went out to look at the sky. In the open space of the base, the pilots gathered under the "Hot Air Balloon" and were using molecular compressors to form spider webs.Yang Qilan saw the molecular compressor hidden in the "Hot Air Balloon", crossed his arms and asked, "Didn't you get attacked by a giant eagle when you came here? That bird is very vigilant and aggressive."

"No." The captain looked at Yang Qilan inexplicably, and spread his hands, "We haven't been attacked in any way, and the journey went smoothly. What's wrong, sir."

Yang Qilan stared into the captain's eyes, stopped driving for a while, and waved his hands lightly: "It's okay, as long as the road goes well. I just think that you should be more vigilant, Captain Yuan, you should be more vigilant. Especially this kind of When it's not peaceful."

"The border is indeed not smooth. People in the south of the Himalayas are always restless. There is a problem with the hole in the sky. I don't know why it keeps expanding and shrinking. Some islands have been sunk by the things falling from the hole. The problem of refugees A series of turmoil has been triggered, and places of turmoil are becoming more and more turbulent, and places of peace are also in jeopardy."

The giant eagle that was hovering high in the sky suddenly swooped down from the clouds, as if it was heading towards the command base.Yang Qilan pulled down the pager and loudly ordered all ground personnel to pay attention to protection. The "Hot Air Balloon" quickly closed the hatch and slid onto the opened underground inclined runway.

Suddenly a piercing alarm sounded in the earphones, and the staff of the monitoring station roared in the earphones: "Attention everyone, the Abier point has arrived! The cavity exploded, and large falling objects appeared in the middle of the atmosphere, gathering in the upper atmosphere, 62 kilometers above the ground. Shock wave! Shock wave red warning! It is expected to arrive in 45 seconds! Pay attention to concealment! Pay attention to concealment!"

"Special warfare formation! Special warfare formation, please answer!" Yang Qilan yelled into the pager, and she stood in front of the monitoring platform to watch the images from the radar array. The "White Deer" No. [-] satellite was slowly moving across the sky, and suddenly an orbit was vacated, and the Pulan County National Astronomical Station withdrew.

The transmission tower of the command base immediately shot a beam of light into the sky, hitting the satellite receiver accurately.After being processed by the particle disperser, three strands were separated and transferred to three special warfare formations scattered around Mount Kailash. The whole process only took a few seconds.

"Team A received. We are leaving quickly to the northwest along the canyon, and the coordinates have been sent. There is still one kilometer to reach the exit of the canyon. The map shows that there is a fish mouth-shaped pass, which is conducive to avoiding falling objects."

"Team B received..."

"Team C received..."

Yang Qilan supported the load-bearing pillar in the room, lowered her head and leaned on her arm, she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the familiar report sound from the earphone.She brushed the stray strands of her hair to one side, exposing her pale face, which made her look even more aged.

The staff at the monitoring station raised their hands and announced the countdown loudly. The alarm in the command center was lifted and roared, and the heavily armed troops ran in the open space outside with their guns on their backs. They had to enter the special stronghold of the weapon system and Protective bunker.

“10......9......冲击波到达平流层上界，注意隐蔽，注意隐蔽！防护罩！防护罩全功率运行！......3......2......1！”

The shock wave arrived on time, and it traveled through the entire atmosphere to the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. Instead of weakening, it became more and more violent with the strong power of the air.It was like an asteroid, hitting straight on the barren permafrost, causing the entire land to tremble violently.

The ensuing strong sonic boom forced everyone to hug their heads and lie on the ground, desperately opening their mouths to reduce the pressure in their skulls. Some people's eardrums had been shattered, and blood gushed out from their fingers.For a moment, the world seemed to become silent, and time passed very slowly.

The command center is not at the center of the impact of the shock wave, it is a little further away.According to the radiation area simulated by the computer, it can be seen that the command center is located in the third-level radiation impact area, and the danger level is orange.

The blue nano-particle fluid cover covering the command center was suddenly pushed down by more than ten meters, and the tip of the lighthouse was directly crushed by the hard air wall. There was a loud bang, and the whole lighthouse was bent and exploded. collapse.The boulder was exploded like fireworks, and the runway was smashed like a hammer, creating deep cracks, several runways were twisted and deformed, and the helicopter scrambled to hover at low altitude.

The impact point of the shock wave was on a small hill seven kilometers away. That hill was leveled instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the aftermath of the radiation lifted up the surrounding several kilometers of land, as if some monster was walking underground, overwhelming mountains and seas. Come.

Dust and clods covered the sky, and the weather screen showed that the gust of wind formed by the airflow had exceeded the highest level of a hurricane, and the huge destructive power was enough to allow it to carry a few tons of boulders for a thousand meters.If placed on the sea, this will definitely cause a shocking tsunami.

He Luan's Formation A finally arrived at the Yuzui pass a few minutes after the impact arrived. The canyon suddenly tightened here, forming a natural ventilation pass, and the whistling wind echoed all year round.They felt a violent tremor on the ground under their feet, and then the howling wind chased after them from behind, and they could even see the dense dust all over the sky.

The aurora dimmed suddenly, covered by the sand, gravel and mud, you can vaguely see the floating blue-green light, and the field returned to darkness in an instant.The special warfare formation rushed up to the slopes at the foot of the mountain to find their own bunkers, where the huge and hard rocks could form many natural leeward areas.

They are a certain distance away from the impact site, and the danger level is blue, but the aftermath of radiation can still cause considerable impact and damage.The formation leader confirmed the situation to the team leaders in the earphones. Chen Wei was the team leader of the third team, and his position was to the west.

"The first wave of impact is coming soon, you go up first." Chen Wei pushed He Luan's shoulders up, his feet slipped, and he walked forward with difficulty climbing the rock, "There, do you see that protruding rock? , hide under that rock, that’s it. Hurry up!”

He Luan turned around and reached out to him, Chen Wei put it on his hand, and the two held each other's wrist tightly.He Luan took two tentative steps up a frozen rock, when suddenly there was a loud noise from the top, a rock was rolling down along the frozen mountain, thrown high into the sky, and after a few rolls Slam it down in the direction where He Luan is standing along an arc.

A burst of blood welled up in his head, and he glanced at the rolling earth and rocks and the strong wind coming from the east, and the place where the sound of the wind came turned into empty soil.In a few seconds before being swept away by the gust of wind, He Luan grabbed Chen Wei's hand and pulled it hard, let go of the hand holding on to the rock and fell sideways to hug Chen Wei, throwing him down and turning over quickly , rolled on his back in the snow.

I wanted to avoid a few meters to the side, but I couldn't stop after landing. The ice was too slippery, and I couldn't help falling down.He Luan reached out to grab a rock, but to no avail.More rubble rolled down the mountain, and half of the cliff was crumbling.

Climbing is impossible, but if you return to the foot of the mountain, you will inevitably expose the lower part to the strong wind.The Yuzui pass is ahead, and the constriction effect will generate suction to push down the airflow, making the high altitude relatively safe, while the low altitude has become a veritable death zone.

The hard ice hidden under the thin snow was pressed against He Luan's back in a daze, and he heard the slight sound of bones breaking.A burst of severe pain quickly hit his limbs and bones. He Luan gritted his teeth and remained silent. Countless rolling boulders appeared in his vision, and they were getting bigger and bigger.

"Hold me tight, there is a depression below, and the snow should be very thick." He Luan whispered in Chen Wei's ear, and he buckled the belts around their waists together. Just a few seconds before the boulder was about to hit the ground, a Turning over led Chen Wei to roll down the mountain with the help of the slippery ice.

He covered Chen Wei's head in his arms, trying to keep himself below, so as to prevent Chen Wei from hitting the rock and being injured - his old injury has not fully healed, and he is blind in his right eye.

The moment the boulder fell to the ground, crackling ice balls and clods of frozen soil were shaken.It arrived almost at the same time as the gale, and struck right where they had been.The howling wind kept pounding down heavy granite, sandstone and quartzite, stolen from the plateau.

The strong wind deflected the boulder, and He Luan was also slammed to the side by the wind, deviated from the depression, and fell into a depression under the slope. The back of the helmet was hit violently and shattered.

After landing on the ground, Chen Wei unfastened the belt buckle between the two, yelled something into the walkie-talkie, and suddenly pushed He Luan to the ground, and then a twisted steel plate flew over their heads.Barely able to breathe in the wind, Chen Wei took a deep breath, turned around and clasped He Luan's neck, put his elbows on the ground and led him to crawl forward together. A few meters in front of them was a depression, which was a relatively safe place for now.

"Captain of the third team! Report the situation! Please reply if you receive it! Please reply if you receive it!" The calls kept coming from the earphones. Chen Wei stared at the dust all over the sky, and his helmet was covered with a thick layer of mud. Wipe it away, and reply with a walkie-talkie, with a steady and calm voice.

"The team members have been resettled. I am at the foot of the mountain with No. 0632. We had to give up climbing because we encountered rolling stones. Now we are going to enter the depression. I hope we can survive this disaster. The report is over." Chen Wei said, and finished He pressed the intercom, turned around and gestured to He Luanbi.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the airflow is sinking. This is a narrow canyon area, and coupled with the powerful constriction effect of the fish mouth, the wind speed is already unimaginably fast.The gravel scraped He Luan and Chen Wei's clothes like a knife cut, leaving mottled tear marks.

The respirators were clogged with dust, and even if they weren't clogged, they wouldn't be able to breathe under such a rapid airflow.The air on the plateau was already thin, and now it was drawn into a near vacuum. He Luan felt as if a pressure in his body was expanding outwards, and his face began to congeal.

Chen Wei moved forward a few meters with his head buried, hugged a raised boulder, turned his head and shouted at He Luan: "Give me your hand, quick!"

He Luan stretched out his hand, and they held each other's wrists, which was the safest way to hold hands.After Chen Wei yelled a word, he could barely breathe, his face was flushed, and his eyes were about to bleed.The air pressure above his head made him feel like dozens of prefabricated panels were pressed against his back, and he could barely move.

The depression was just around the corner, and they could catch their breath as long as they flipped down. He Luan counted the seconds silently. He was counting the time he had to hold his breath, and how long it would take to cross the border with the strong wind.He was dizzy with congested blood in his brain due to the low air pressure, and he could hardly see clearly.Lying in the snow, he saw Chen Wei next to him, and their hands holding each other all the time.

Chen Wei's left eye was shining like water, and he pursed his lips.Chen Wei moved his arm to hold He Luan's hand tighter, and suddenly a sob escaped from his throat.
