Abyss Express

[Prat① Snake Island History]

After more than a month of construction, the coffee shop that Meteor has been thinking about has finally created a prototype.

Anonymous's friends squatted in the engineering board room to pack up equipment and prepare for the trip to Red Star Mountain.

Jiang Xueming is squatting in front of the laptop for cross-border communication——

——Jason Megan has already set off early at this moment. He is going to the northern outpost to explore the way, collect local materials at the trade transfer station, and prepare the cold clothes and miscellaneous tools for this trip.

"How's the situation?" Xue Ming put on the headset and talked with Jason about the trip.

Jason sighed on the other end of the phone.

"It's bad. It's just as bad as last time. I couldn't find suitable anti-stress and anti-cold clothes in Iceland. There are too many of you, and you have to make tailor-made clothes, especially Meteor. I can't buy his clothes at all."

"Last time? That time?" Jiang Xueming asked about Jason's past: "When you explored the northern border with Wendy Mills, did you also encounter this kind of dilemma?"

"Not really." Talking about the former waiter, Jason came alive: "She is an ingenious person. She only needs to kill spirit deer and arctic fox to make durable clothes that can keep out the cold. Last time we talked with her." The people at the Albert trade transfer station are buying things. These Slavs are unreasonable barbarians, and the prices they charge are getting more and more outrageous—the closer you are to the Red Star Mountain, the scarcer the supplies are, and the prices will naturally rise."

Xueming: "Three years later, nothing has changed?"

Jason: "What else can change in that place? Except for being very courageous and looking for a VIP who will have a great fun, I am afraid that only people from the Crazy Butterfly Sect will try to go to Red Star Mountain."

Hearing the name of the Mad Butterfly Sect, Xue Ming frowned.

He didn't expect that this place of death would also attract these crazed criminals.

"Why do these guys want to go to Red Star Mountain?"

Jason: "I can only see it occasionally. In that ghostly place, let alone humans, disaster beasts are precious protected animals, and these bold and crazy Butterfly Saints are trying to snatch the undead rune in the body of the dead giant. will embark on this life-threatening journey."

Xue Ming: "What sect is it? Have you learned about it?"

Jason: "Its name is [Salary King]."

Hearing the familiar vocabulary, Meteor immediately joined in the fun.

"Spread the fire?"

Jason then immediately explained: "It's not what you think, Meteor——I won't be joking with you at this juncture. Seriously speaking, these saints who want to take the undead runes are probably the ancestors of the past. The group of people who stole runes in the palace are also the main culprits that made Chief Jessica look like a ghost."

Xue Ming: "Do they want to become [Desperadoes] too?"

"I don't know much about these things. Most of the things about the death organization have been listed as β-level secrets. Unless you are in an important position or have obtained a VIP qualification certificate, you want to go to the death organization to explore the deepest Lu En mystery——" Jason finished speaking half of the rules, and then began to tell the truth: "Ordinary people will not know this, but I think the possibility of the question you asked is very slim. People from the Crazy Butterfly Sect, the last What I hate, what I hate the most, are the Immortals."

Xue Ming: "Is it related to their teachings?"

Jason: "That's right, the Crazy Butterfly Sect has many names and many variants, but they remain the same. Things related to the Weta brand have a complete life cycle, and most of these people will Fusion and death are extremely important - if a person lives forever, this is the most vicious and severe punishment for saints."

Xueming: "."

Jason went on to say: "Like the eternal reincarnation in other religions, life is constantly evolving and changing its form in the frenzy of the times. The people of the Crazy Butterfly Sect always put their own The blood is mixed with other things to adapt to the new era, to create a new life, and after completing the mission, the most glorious and greatest moment is when you meet death.”

Xue Ming: "Where is Mary Stuart? Why is she pursuing something different?"

Jason analyzed: "Because she doesn't believe in religion at all - she doesn't regard the brand of Vita and the holy blood of grace as some superior gods at all, all motives and all results are oriented, she just wants to live, Live long enough, live well enough."

Xue Ming wrote down the information in the electronic file, and then continued the topic just now.

"Back to this [Salary King]—how much do you know about them?"

"Wendy and I once met a Salary King. Like the Almighty Hand, they are also blood butterfly fundamentalists. The reason for their name is the same as the harvest ceremony of the Council of Five Kings." Jason said A traditional festival at the station: "The BOSS brought a panacea after suffering, and gave the essence in its body to the passengers like spilling holy blood. Those who hold this ceremony for the BOSS will become kings."

According to the pyroxene attributes of these five VIPs, their logic and deeds.

"It is divided into three categories: hunter king, explorer king, and craftsman king. Those who can survive to serve as BOSS waiters will abandon their names and use this title to spend the rest of their lives."

Jason sent a picture——

——It is the emblem seal made by King Xin. It is a golden-red chariot with flames, and the carriage is shaped like a sun. The steed that pulls the cart is a unicorn.

"And these [Salary King Sect] people are like the kings who sacrificed themselves with essence during the harvest season. They want to use the power of crazy butterflies to collect essence, burn themselves, and become the sun of the underground world."

Xue Ming: "How long have these people existed in the underground world?"

"It's called fundamentalism, but it's actually a new sect." Jason replied: "During the Cold War, the nuclear arms race between the Soviet Union and the United States made people all over the world see the power of this artificial sun—and immediately The people of the Crazy Butterfly Sect began to organize and plan, trying to obtain this power."

Xue Ming: "Can they rub uranium-235 by hand?"

"No, compared to the difficulties and obstacles on the road of science, this group of people prefer to use mysterious things to achieve this goal. Just imagine, soul power is such a magical thing, what if someone can really do it?" Jie Sen made a reasonable analysis: "Long-term nuclear tests require researchers who can't be defeated or killed. Soul power, an experimental subject that is extremely unstable and changes with mental energy, will induce many experimental accidents—and The undead runes become the power that the [Salary Kings] are eagerly craving."

Xueming: "It's amazing"

Jason continued: "Tell me about my story, Jiang Xueming, I really don't want to go to this place."

Xue Ming: "Is it because it is too dangerous?"

Jason: "No, I'm not afraid of danger."

Xue Ming: "Why is that?"

Jason patiently explained and talked about another matter.

"There are many reasons. The most important one is because the Red Star Mountain outpost is considered a pioneering team of the Soviets—"

"—My hometown is Romania. In the era of my father's generation, it belonged to the Warsaw Pact. Then the Soviet Union disintegrated overnight, and Romania returned to NATO. My hometown is Sulina, a very beautiful seaport."

"Do you know what this means? I was born still learning Russian, and later English, and the Dacia dialect of my hometown is rarely spoken. I am a man who has been robbed of his country, repeatedly dominated by the demons of the East and the demons of the West. .”

"My mother tongue is my hometown. Just imagine, if you go back to Hengyin City and everyone in your hometown starts to speak Japanese, how terrifying it would be."

"Everything you know has become unrecognizable, and then Ukraine and my motherland began to compete for the ownership of Snake Island, because scientific research scholars said that there are very rich oil and gas resources around Snake Island, and there is a military base on that small island , my father was killed in an armed conflict just a hundred kilometers away from the port of Sulina where I was."

"I hate the Cossacks, I hate the Slavs, I hate their insatiable greed. They want to cross half of the Black Sea, run to other people's territory, kill other people's fathers, kill other people's children, and take away other people's land."

"Where is the hill where the red star is? Can it bring me anything? I don't understand the arrangement of the boss, I don't understand it at all-it is a useless spectacle created in the underground world when the Soviets and the Americans wrestled. I In order to become a VIP, I went to this place with Wendy, and in the end even lost my most important lover and friend."

Jason's tone was heavy and eerie.

"Jiang Xueming, can you imagine? If you have a father-killing enemy that you hate so much, the boss wants you to help them, help them open up camps, help them explore the unknown kingdom of the dead, and in the end, even your favorite waiter will be killed." Lost, with scars all over, ran back to the station in a state of embarrassment."

Jiang Xueming: "Let's go find her together."

Jason sneered and asked: "Really? Although the BOSS kept telling me that Wendy just disappeared, disappeared, not died--but I knew in my heart that she would not live long, and no matter how terrifying the beast was, it would be too late." It's hard to survive in the North, let alone humans lost in the lightless wilderness, breathing poisonous gas to avoid dead giants."

Jiang Xueming mentioned Jason's current waiter: "Your waiter happens to be both a Cossack and a Slav - her name is Katyusha."

"I understand the meaning of BOSS." Jason immediately interrupted: "I know, I understand, Ao Han Mingde wants me to crush this demon head-on, but it's really hard for me to do it, very hard I understand. My hatred for them has risen to ethnic hatred, which is of the same nature as you are not very friendly to Little Japan."

Jiang Xueming simply didn't mention this matter, which would easily make Jason angry.

"where shall we meet?"

Jason: "The Albert Scientific Research Station is the largest trading station in the north near Red Star Mountain. Although it is the closest, it is still more than 600 kilometers away from our destination. The hill where Red Star is located is very deep. Very far—God knows how deep these reckless Slavs dug, digging holes again in the winding mountain roads underground, and as long as they can make a hole, they will continue to dig.”

Xue Ming: "That's an old tradition during the Cold War, and it's a competition for excellence that doesn't seek results."

Jason: "After we set off from the Albert Research Station, there is no turning back. You have to think clearly."

Xueming: "I've figured it out."

Jason: "Really? When I was about to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, I suffered the worst injury in my life. Can you bear the consequences? Are you really mentally prepared?"

"Don't even think about becoming a butterfly just for your broken cocoon." Jiang Xueming sneered: "How can you protect yourself with that little combat power? If you don't trouble your waiter, they will be considered grateful. You repent! Jason, I am the leader of Anonymous——I will not escape. If the BOSS acquiesces to my actions, it means that it recognizes my ability. If it thinks that I am bad, and I can’t watch or fight, I’m afraid it won’t let me out at all. This trip is far away."

Before the words were finished, Jason Megan hung up the phone, as if he was in a state of desperation and anger.

Jiang Xueming dialed back unhurriedly.

"Are you in a hurry?"

Jason: "The signal is not very good."

Jiang Xueming: "You haven't said where to meet, but you just told me about Albert Station——Albert Station is so big, where can I find you?"

Jason: "The Red Nail Inn."

Then Jason hung up the phone again.

"He's capable." Jiang Xueming took off the headset and complained to Meteor: "This cook doesn't know where his confidence comes from."

Bu Meteor, a smart baby, heard something between the lines.

"Brother Ming, as you said, our good cat rarely misjudges the situation. After all, its eyes are polarizing sextants. It must have confidence in his ability to send Brother Jason to Red Star Mountain. , That's why we do this manpower deployment—but why is there an accident?"

Xue Ming: "Why don't you ask the BOSS yourself? Ask the King Hunter for a copy of Jason's log at that time?"

Meteor: "The boss is still sleeping, and the king hunter is also very busy."

Xueming thought to himself——

——Red Star Hill is so dangerous, but the boss wants Jason, a weak and weak-willed person, to explore such a ghostly place, and treats it as the most important VIP trial trip in Jason's life, it is a devil Examiner's purgatory exam questions.

The special thing about brother Jason is the twenty-four lapis lazuli and the spiritual essence that can control so many pyroxenes.

Are these connected to the hill where the red star is located?

Are there any elements of historical documents that can be tested?

"Brother Ming, why don't we go to the secret library again? Go to the library to find materials?"

Xueming pointed to the utensils in the blank workshop, and said to Meteor: "Time is running out, our Morpho clothes are too late to modify, I don't think there is any way to add air conditioning to them, metal is brittle, these heavy and clumsy clothes The body armor is no longer needed, there may be people from the Crazy Butterfly Sacred Church participating in this journey, and Russian heavy armor must be prepared."

Meteor scratched his head: "Then we can't rush in there in a daze. Do you know someone who is particularly knowledgeable?"

"Yes!" In terms of connections, Xue Ming is simply a social butterfly at the station: "Our guide is Xiao Qi's master, she is from the same school as us. She should be very knowledgeable."

Ten minutes later.

Su Ling sat in [JoeStar]'s small workshop in a daze, facing the questions of two curious babies Xue Ming and Meteor.

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand."

Teacher A Ling directly made a fatal three-in-one, and then followed up with Qin Chuan's three-in-one.

"It's mysterious, it has a story, it's not ordinary."

At that time, Jiang Xueming's face was wrinkled like a little old lady's, and his teeth started to fight, making a crunching sound when they bit together.

Su Ling still doesn't know what's going on. Her soul power is very special. Even when dealing with exploration tasks in unfamiliar areas, there are many game tips to help her avert danger.

This kind of academic bully usually doesn't do pre-exam review, they are all naked exams.

Compared with the ability to answer questions, she prefers to exercise the ability to beat the examiner.

then--

——Jiang Xueming called Brother Xingchen, trying to find off-site assistance.

[Part② Materialism]

He didn't have any expectations at first, but judging from the relationship between Tianshu and the sister units of the Nine Realms, he was more or less grateful to be able to collect some effective information.

Unexpectedly, Brother Xingchen was unexpectedly reliable.

"I don't know much about the underground world, but I like to focus on the key points——Jiang Xueming, I recommend that you use a male body to perform tasks during this trip, and don't have any illusions about the ability of the little finger."

Mentioning this information, Jiang Xueming was shocked from ear to ear.

"Brother Xingchen, how do you know?"

Su Xingchen: "Your passenger logs are classified as confidential documents in the National Security Bureau, so I can't see them, but I can find out about the recent major spiritual disasters in London, England—and I can also find out about you. Don't underestimate my intelligence capabilities. "

Jiang Xueming: "You mean, don't use [B·SIDE]? Just rely on my male body? To complete this task?"

Su Xingchen: "Yes, the journey to Hongxing Mountain is mostly a mixture of roads, bridges, tunnels and complex terrain. In the environment of minus ten degrees, the machinery is very easy to break down in wind, sand, rain and snow-and there are many roads along the way. It's something very special, maybe your highly precise spiritual body can come in handy."

Jiang Xueming was curious: "What is it?"

"If you want to ask this, the story will be long." Su Xingchen's tone was up and down, "Do you want to listen?"

Jiang Xueming: "Let's make a long story short."

"During the Cold War, we all knew that the Soviet Union and the United States were engaged in a nuclear arms race, right?"

"Yes."

"But the reports on the surface mostly show how many nuclear warheads the two countries have built, but they don't care about how to deliver them. They subtly believe that nuclear bombs are launched by intercontinental missiles, right?"

"Um"

"Red Star Mountain is the ruins left by the Soviet Union in the underground world when its national power was strongest. You can see the magnificent treasure left by this red giant in the world. The power has been miniaturized and miniaturized, in addition to the nuclear missiles launched by individual soldiers, there are many new weapon platforms, and many grotesque Cold War inventions have been left in the underground world-used to deal with the scourge."

"You mean, if I can repair these cultural relics, maybe they can still come in handy?"

"Yes, the most interesting thing among them should come from the industrial products of Emperor Xunzong's reign. It is a bipedal walking weapon platform. The reason why it uses bipedal movement is also very simple. It can adapt to the beachhead quagmire of Niflheim Swamp environment - it was originally an equipment suitable for launching mini-nuclear bombs in all terrains. For example, the American army trapped in the jungle during the Vietnam War let the old Maozi discover this strange weakness, and repeatedly pulled out the ugly appearance of the American army trapped in the quagmire to punish the whip As a result, this long-legged aesthetic has been inherited to the underground world. Like Zeninite’s series of transformation processes for AK, the Soviet Weapons Design Bureau and the Ministry of Defense and the Izhevsk Machine Factory opened With this plan, the code name is [Materialism·Materialism], oh no, it should be pronounced like this in Russian——материализм."

"From your description, it looks like a two-legged robot?"

"No, it's a weapon platform. It's too fashionable to call them robots. A machine is a machine, and it won't become a human. No matter how close the sci-fi armor is, it's still a cold machine. If you can restore them by die-casting, Fixing their circuits and waking up these old diesel-powered weapons platforms should allow ammunition to be recovered from oil-paper bags in the depot for some large targets."

"Why have I never heard of such a thing?" Jiang Xueming was puzzled, it was too sci-fi, too fantasy.

Su Xingchen said unhurriedly: "Before you came to Nine Realms Station, you had never heard its name, and after you came to the station, you had never heard of Tianshu's name—in fact, something happened on the surface, and the underground It’s just as chaotic and exciting. A bipedal walking all-terrain weapon platform like this has been deployed in Afghanistan more than once. It’s just that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, all combat records were destroyed by the KGB, and these things cannot be left to NATO and the Americans— —We often say that Russian scientific research relies on archaeology, which is also one of the ancient relics of the Soviet Union.”

"Is there anything else you want to ask? Commander?" Su Xingchen said with a teasing smile.

Xueming: "No more"

Before Su Xingchen turned off the communication, he sent his blessings like when he started the mission with Ye Bei.

"Good luck! Operator Xue Ming, the mission is about to begin!"
