National Juggernaut

Chapter 593 Tracking
When the day comes, the sky is red, the atmosphere always has a faint smell of ammonia, coupled with the sandstorm without warning, this is definitely not a good place to live.

"Have you determined the location? It should not be far from the main plane."

"Space does not actually have the concept of distance, but if you use the distance to mark it, it is really not far away. The X21238 world is a broken world with little value."

The advantages of self-contained R&D department and professional personnel reappeared. While other carts were still busy exploring the surrounding conditions, Zheng Li’s people had deduced the specific information of this world from minerals, carbon isotopes, and atmospheric data, and confirmed the current situation. approximate location.

"Unfortunately, they didn't directly enter that channel world."

"The other party is not stupid, and we must also consider the possibility of the teleportation point being discovered by us. The nearest space transformation point should be within the sixth ring."

The X21238 world is a relatively young different world from the number point of view, but not every world has value, and some worlds have nothing valuable except wind and sand, atmosphere, and water.

In the arena of the gods, there are quite a few such abandoned worlds, some of which are thought to have no development value, and some are because they are full of difficult monsters.

Judging from the more than six hours of driving, Zheng Li felt that this world should be the former. The wind and sand kept hitting the glass wall of the cart. Even though it had been treated to prevent wind and sand, the journey along the way was still quite unpleasant.

The wheels have been caught in floating sand several times, and the Firefly cart was forced to use psionic technology to keep it running normally. Such a consumption cannot be supported by an ordinary cart.

"The exit should not be far away, everyone hold on."

The ability of costly short-distance teleportation is quite limited. This world is not far from Shiqian City. Song Ying and the others have already found several ways to return to the city. The nearest link point is only two or three days' drive away.

The tracking convoy has been disbanded, and the pack of wolves is not so much tracking the prey itself, as it is tracking and looking for the path the prey has traveled. The purpose of dispersing is to collect more information and increase the chance of finding the prey.

Zheng Li looked at the sky, there was only a few hours of day here, and the red sky finally turned dark again, but there were no stars in the sky.

The dense dark clouds and strong winds make it extremely difficult to locate. While the floating sand creates difficulties for the carts, it also erases all traces of travel. If you aim at the "smoke bomb world", this is indeed a very successful choice .

At least, it was just the first step. In the first world, some hounds tended to lose their way.

"Which exit did they go out from? It shouldn't be an official exit, could it be that they opened the breach privately?"

Although it is a different world in the data, the situation seems to be getting worse.

Not long ago, the firefly cart passed through the fortress city where humans are here, that is to say, it passed through the space checkpoint where Shiqian City is here.

Even the gods, it is impossible to know every space gap in the adjacent small and medium worlds. The defensive tendency of the human side is to block all the "points" leading to the main plane. This is the best choice under the premise of limited defensive power.

But if this world directly leads to a deeper different world, then if the opponent's army comes from that side, his side can only defend passively.

"I hope it's still just our plane."

If it is still the territory of human beings, then the unknown space rift is physically farther away from Shiqian City, and it is easier to guard against it.

To put it bluntly, the closer you are, the less strategic space you have, and this world is not suitable as a front line of defense.

Unfortunately, Zheng Li's prayer was not answered. When the following "butterfly" stopped flying, it landed in a hidden cave.

"The gap in the space in the man-made cave? It's really a big deal."

The firefly carts were never good at speed, Zheng Li was not the first to find the target, there was already a row of carts parked outside the cave, and when he walked into the cave, he also saw the people who were discussing.

"How? Where does it lead? Has anyone passed?"

Song Ying went up to inquire about the situation, but Zheng Li just opened his eyes and looked over.

On the opposite side, there is a clear sky and a blue beach. Although it is still a "sand", the scenery is completely different from the one here.

An unobstructed gap in space cannot prevent Zheng Li from prying into it.

Finding this gap does not mean that the hunter's work in this world is over, on the contrary, some more troublesome things have just begun.

"Leave three vehicles, equipped with professional equipment, and look for other unrecorded breaches."

There may not be only one gap leading to the same world. On the contrary, since the feasibility of the link is determined, the cost of artificially creating a second gap will be quite low.

This world has been determined to be bordered by the human world, so, in addition to the jumping gap in the "autonomous region", the known official gap, it is very likely that there are third, fourth, or even a dozen gaps, especially if this world is obviously biased. weak.

The existence of this "multiple caves" often means that the two worlds are in a state of fusion, and it will be relatively easy to open the gap. This is the swallowing of the strong and the weak between the planes, which is a good thing for the human world, and for living on it. Humans may not.

"If it is confirmed that this is the road world left by the Atel people, I am afraid that this place will be transformed into a fortress world. When I think of the buddies who are going to come here to perform duties, I feel sad for them."

Along the way, everyone also checked the information. There is really nothing in this world. The only common creatures are mire creatures, which are basically all kinds of "stinky fish and rotten shrimps" that are tossed here in the scarce water source. The taste is said to be quite bad. The cake is the kind of rare shredded meat that is still unpalatable.

Deserts, especially floating sand terrains, occupy at least [-]% of the world. This geographical structure is not only unsuitable for transportation, but also unsuitable for building foundations.

Most of the trackers left behind are communications, communicating with the surrounding towns, so that the news will move to the city from time to time, and let them send professionals to conduct a complete exploration. Such a worthless abandoned small world is indeed very suitable for hiding things.

Next, as long as it is confirmed that there is a strategic necessity for defense here, no matter how hard it is, at least several legions will be stationed.

The subsequent development still made Zheng Li underestimate the layout of the Atel people.

"Is this the seventh world?"

"Yes, I have traveled through seven worlds in two days, counting the two trips back to the human world of Mercury, and I have traveled a total of nine times."

With the discovery of unknown space rifts one after another, even though they returned to the human world twice, up to now, the escaped convoy still has not passed the official human checkpoint, and there is no possibility of being verified at all.

Something even weirder happened. Since the two return trips to the human world had already taken a full circle, some areas had begun to overlap, and the tracker turned back.

"Did I miss it somewhere? Or did I go wrong? No, we tracked very carefully all the way. It is impossible for so many professional trackers to make mistakes at the same time. They are making repeated detours, and they have taken a 'useless' backtrack."

To deal with the pursuer, it is very old-fashioned to circle repeatedly and suddenly turn at a certain position, but it is very useful.

There are quite few traces along the way. When they suddenly disappear at a certain point, those traces that are already scarce become the interference of the hunters and the obstacle to determine that "point".

"On the bus around the city, they got off halfway, but we couldn't determine which stop. The most terrible thing is that time is on their side, and we can't afford it."

A tracker explained the current situation in vivid words. The biggest problem is that as time goes by, they will go further and further away, making tracking more difficult.

The gray enterprises engaged in smuggling showed their professionalism at this time, which caused headaches for the police who tried to rescue them. It is really a dilemma that makes people laugh.

"Let's disperse. Fortunately, we have a large number of people. The task force must have considered this kind of information."

"This is what the other party expects, and it is not advisable for a wise man to actively divide his troops."

But in the current situation, dividing troops is the only option. Everyone determines their own goals. Although most people may waste a lot of time, there will always be someone who will be on the right path.

"Zheng Li, come here."

At this time, an unexpected communication made Zheng Li stunned for a moment.

"Shirley? Now?"

"Well, now."

In the reception room, Zheng Li saw Shirley and Xiaolan who looked cautious, and Zheng Lusuo and Mr. Long who were busy with the work at hand.

In order to cope with possible battles, Zheng Li did not hesitate to call in foreign aid this time. The two members of the twelve constellations agreed to come and help, and at the same time, there were also two helpers from the Zheng family.

Originally, Zheng Hongqi was very interested in following, but as a guard, she couldn't leave the city at will, so she had no choice but to give up.

As "hired" thugs, they have been idling in the car for the past two days, and now they take the initiative to ask Zheng Li to come over, naturally there is something important. In fact, when it was Shirley who called him, Zheng Li guessed that it might happen What.

"I feel Capricorn's psychic power, although it is very weak, but she should pass through that area."

Well, it really is a matter of the twelve constellations.

This circles around, shuttles back and forth from one after another "unrecorded gaps", and seems to have unknowingly approached the world that Capricornus mentioned in the previous data has passed through.

Obviously, this is already a new path, and there are no unknown passages that appear in the human military database.

Shirley's words were to inform, but also to ask, asking, "Would you like to see if you can find Capricorn by the way".

It's really not suitable to talk about it in public. When you are doing business, if you go out to talk about private matters, it may even affect the next action.

After looking at the map, the surrounding area was also a place of suspicion, so Zheng Li talked to the other team members and arranged a search and tracking.

At this time, the hunters who traveled through seven or eight worlds had already spent more than four days. The fact of going around in circles was in front of them, and many people did not have the confidence they had at the beginning.

And the most troublesome thing is that some of the "trackers" have begun to fail obviously, and they don't even give the guidance for circling.

If it wasn't for some accident there, it was active interference, which made most of the detection methods begin to fail.

All the "tokens" of some carts have failed, and they have completely lost the possibility of independent tracking. They can only follow other carts and work as handymen.

Fortunately, or not luck at all, the three tokens in Zheng Li's hands were all in good condition, and his request for independent exploration was quickly approved.

Not long after, on a certain cliff, Xue Li found a spiritual imprint, which was a sheep's head carved on the mountain wall, smeared with blood with powerful spiritual power.

Even though several years had passed at the earliest, the red bloodstain still shone with a faint aura, as if announcing that its owner was still alive.

Immediately, Shirley touched the mark of the sheep's head with joy on her face,
And Zheng Li paused for a moment, thinking
"Why did she leave a mark here? There is no place in front of the village or in the back of the shop. If I am a lost traveler, I want to leave a record, so that the searcher can find my way forward. It must be at a conspicuous intersection, at the crossroads. Markers and the like leave arrows representing directions."

Zheng Li opened his eyes, his psychic powers fully opened, and looked towards the opposite side.

Sure enough, on the other side, he saw a portal that had become ruins, and here was an artificial portal that had been activated.

As for the teleportation building here?I'm afraid it has been buried in the earth and rocks, or it was a one-off from the beginning.

"Inform the convoy that we have found a one-way teleportation point, and the target may be there. Maybe, 'they' got off here."

The ruins of the suspected teleportation point on the opposite side are not conclusive evidence. Zheng Li and his party have seen too many messy things in the past two days, and there are several strange scenes next to each other with space gaps. People don't know how to choose. track.

But now, in a predicament where everyone is at a loss and can only use time and try to solve the puzzle, a clear direction has instantly become everyone's hope.

Soon, when the experts verified Zheng Li's statement, the convoy was divided into five vehicles, ready to go in and investigate.

And the space experts are also busy. This is not Shiqian City. There is no unlimited equipment, funds, and personnel support. To reconstruct a broken space gap, the time and material resources required are not hours.

At this time, Zheng Li didn't want to wait any longer.

"Let's go first."

Since he could see it and it was not far away, Zheng Li acted as soon as he became cruel.

If he did not use the space jump ability in place, if he destroyed the information left in the local area, tracking would become more difficult.

The firefly cart drove a little farther, but still locked on to the opposite world. After confirming that the distance was enough, with the silver light flashing, the firefly cart landed in a different world.

The next moment, she left the fragile world at full speed and was torn apart behind her. A world that is too fragile can easily cause chain dimensional shocks. Every time she uses the "exchange" ability, she must be extremely careful.

And when the firefly cart just arrived in a safe area, they knew the road was correct.

On the ground ahead, there was a familiar mineral water bottle with the Shiqian City logo on it, which made people feel full of irony.
