How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

Just when there was a drastic change in the palace.

An hour ago.

Li Xin and Shen Lian finally arrived near the Gunpowder Bureau of Wang Gong Factory in the south of the city.

But before they reached it, the two of them stood there, staring blankly at the tragic scene in front of them for a long time.

But within a radius of two kilometers, a piece of black scorched earth covered the entire area.

The once lively streets were gone. In addition to the scorched earth, there were still some flames burning on the ground.

The burning smell in the air made it hard to breathe.

It was the first time in Shen Lian's life that he saw such a scene, and his whole body became weak unconsciously.

What about people?

Where have the thousands of people who originally lived in the south of the city gone?

He remembers it clearly.

Due to the large number of people living near the Gunpowder Bureau of Wanggongchang, thousands of families of craftsmen and their families lived there.

Not only that, there are gambling stalls, brothels, wine shops, inns, and a delicious tofu stall here, which he often visits.

It can be said that a gunpowder bureau provides food, clothing, housing and transportation for nearly ten thousand people.

But now, they have all disappeared, leaving only devastation.

Do not!

Not even the devastation, this place is as flat as if it has never been developed, not even the trees have survived.

Could it be that this is the underworld in Fengdu Ghost City?

"gentlemen……"

Shen Lian murmured and opened his mouth, feeling mixed emotions in his heart for a moment.

He didn't know whether to be sad or shocked by the magnitude of the disaster.

"Let's go!"

Li Xin looked at it for a while, then sighed and moved Shen Lian again.

He knew that everything was irreversible.

survivor?

The area within two kilometers was razed to the ground and there was no longer any living life.

really.

After walking a short distance, when they came to a huge pit, Shen Lian's body was so weak that he could no longer stand.

He shivered, used his sword to support the ground, squatted down shakily, and then knelt on the ground.

"Sir...this...is this the original Wanggongchang Gunpowder Bureau? How...how did it become like this?"

Shen Lian burst into tears and stared at the scene in front of him.

But in front of them was a large pit with a radius of several miles, bottomless, and constantly filled with thick smoke.

Looking down, it's like looking into an abyss, with magma seemingly boiling inside.

Shen Lian only glanced at it before retracting his body, fearing that he would also fall into it.

Li Xin, however, remained calm. He also squatted down, touched the edge of the pit wall, and said bitterly.

"Twenty thousand to fifty thousand years ago, an alien meteorite with a diameter of about 46 meters and a weight of about 300,000 tons fell east of Flagstaff, Arizona, creating the world-famous Barringer Crater .”

"The crater is 1264 meters wide and 174 meters deep, leaving a permanent scar on the Earth."

"Shen Lian, what appears in front of you is also a giant crater created by a meteorite."

Shen Lian was dumbfounded.

"Twenty thousand to fifty thousand years ago, meteorite? Barringer?"

He looked at Li Xin stupidly, not understanding what it meant.

Li Xin no longer explained, but frowned and walked around the entire pit.

The high temperature generated by the explosion collision still remains in the pit, and magma can be faintly seen flowing inside.

In this case, it is absolutely impossible to go down.

Li Xin came here specifically just to see what this thing was, and it hit the outer spacecraft and crashed into the capital.

It is now known that it is indeed a meteorite!

It's just that I don't know where the meteorite came from, and why it appeared at a speed far exceeding that of the second universe and hit the aircraft.

Li Xin remembered that its diameter should be about 80 meters. After hitting the outer spacecraft, it broke into several pieces and scattered in Kyoto.

The Wanggongchang Gunpowder Bureau was probably the largest. It hit the gunpowder magazine and caused a more violent explosion, causing a two-kilometer radius to become scorched earth.

As for other places, there should be meteorites, causing damage in all directions in the city.

call……

Li Xin sighed deeply.

According to historical records, the Apocalypse explosion caused about 20,000 deaths and the collapse of tens of thousands of houses.

Li Xin, who has experienced this incident personally, understands that it is much more than that.

The real history seems to be much more tragic than the records.

Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao or Wei Zhongxian concealed a considerable number of casualties in order not to deviate from their morals!

"Let's go! It's useless to stay any longer. Shen Lian, follow me out of the city. Let's go find the whereabouts of that thing..."

Li Xin stood up and walked out with heavy steps.

That thing?

Shen Lian was stunned, and he became more and more confused as to what he was looking for.

He followed him: "Sir, aren't you saving people in the city? What else are you looking for?"

Li Xin shook his head without explaining, and accelerated his pace even more. Only now did he feel that he had made some mistakes.

Everyone should not be sent to rescue Kyoto.

Send at least a few hundred people to search for the crashed spacecraft.

It is much further away than expected, at least hundreds of miles away.

On the one hand, Li Xin didn't know whether it would bring disaster to the local area.

on the other hand……

He suppressed his anxiety and walked faster and faster.

At the gate of the city, where they had been waiting to leave, they found more and more people coming to rescue. It turned out that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion were mobilized, and a large number of the Imperial Guards from the capital participated in the rescue operation.

When Xu Guangqi was found again, the two sides explained something.

When Li Xin and Shen Lian mounted their horses and left the capital, they were followed by nearly a hundred cavalrymen, all of whom were composed of the mausoleum guards.

"shelf!"

When dark clouds came over, it started to rain heavily.

Regardless of the heavy rain, everyone rode out of the city wearing raincoats and headed straight for the place where the aircraft crashed.

Shen Lian was confused and saw that Li Xin did not drive him away, so he had to follow him all the way.

As I followed, I actually saw a few people not far outside the city.

In the rainstorm.

Several people were standing or squatting, and one person was kneeling on the ground, crying loudly.

Lu Wenzhao?

When the cavalry team rushed past them, Shen Lian saw the kneeling man clearly and frowned.

Why does Lu Wenzhao appear here?

Who is beside him?

Also, why was he crying loudly and being beaten repeatedly by one of them.

Are these people crazy?

Don’t know how to avoid the rain?

"I fucked your mother, where is the person named Lu! Where is my master!"

"I left everything to you, and you killed her?! Ah! I'll kill you, I want to kill you!"

The tallest man cursed angrily as he drew out the Miao Dao stuck in the ground, raised it high, and was about to behead Lu Wenzhao on the spot.

The other three people hurriedly tried to dissuade him and tried their best to stop him.

However, the man was still angry. He picked up the scabbard and hit Lu Wenzhao so hard that his head and face were covered with blood.

Lu Wenzhao knelt in the mud and cried loudly.

Shen Lian frowned more and more and subconsciously glanced at Li Xin in front of him.

Li Xin seemed to be unaware of anything and just kept running wildly on his horse.

Shen Lian had to pretend not to see it.

No matter what, he hated this person very much at this moment.

If Lu Wenzhao had not wetted the gunpowder magazine and closed the city gate, so many people would have died in the city.

Just let that man beat Lu Wenzhao to death.

Shen Lian took a few glances and followed closely.

This run lasted for nearly two hours and covered more than 200 miles.

He even ran all the way out of Changping and arrived at Yanqing Prefecture, which is north of the capital, and when he was about to reach Xuanhua Prefecture...

The rain finally stopped and the sun reappeared.

Li Xin finally stopped leading the cavalry team.

Everyone was panting from exhaustion, and the horses were even worse, almost collapsing on the ground.

Shen Lian, who was following him, gradually opened his mouth.

But there was a huge thing stuck in the wasteland in front of them.

It is completely black, about fifty feet long and ten feet wide, and it is stuck diagonally on the ground.

It was the same as Sun Yuanhua’s original impression.

Leng Buding looked at it, and it was as if an official hat magnified tens of thousands of times appeared out of thin air and inserted its wings into the soil.

But it was definitely not an official hat. Even though it had just rained heavily, it still shone with sparks and blue light, making a crackling sound like lightning in the sky.

This is……

what?

Shen Lian took off his raincoat and was about to dismount to check.

But Li Xin was one step ahead of him, staggered off his horse and ran straight towards the thing.

"gentlemen……"

Shen Lian also wanted to remind Li Xin of the danger, but when he saw that his husband was acting crazy, he had no choice but to grab the embroidered spring knife and follow closely.

The cavalry behind him did the same, dismounting their horses and chasing after him.

But after a few steps, they all stood still.

But when Li Xin turned to the side of the thing and stared blankly at the exposed black hole, his whole body went limp and he slumped down in the mud, cursing angrily.

"Run away! You still... ran away!!!"
