Chapter 386 Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The Great Imperial Capital - [Yanhuang Arsenal]
In the basement of the quaint building, a sci-fi hall that is ahead of its time is brightly lit.
Like the command room of an interstellar battleship, a huge curved screen covers the dome, projecting the detailed images thousands of miles away.
From a high altitude bird's eye view, a majestic pass appears like a pair of arms spread out, blocking the road leading to the heart of Dazhen.
As the view moves forward, the tragic scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood comes into view. The originally dry and yellow earth suddenly changes color, showing an unpleasant sticky dark red.
"Sigh~"
Everyone in the hall gasped. Even through the screen, they seemed to be able to smell the strong smell of blood.
"How many people died here?"
"At least tens of thousands, right?"
"Be more confident, at least one hundred thousand plus!"
"I finally understand where the hell joke about San Ge only having 100 million people came from..."
"What a sin! Even if the death in the fantasy realm is not real death, you can't do this, right?"
…………
Amid the whispers of discussion lingering in his ears, Zhu Haomiao, who was sitting on the podium, supported his chin with one hand, his eyes wandering on the huge screen, and smiled with interest.
"I originally thought that our family was only strong in the [mystical side], but I didn't expect that the [technological side] is also quite powerful."
Hearing this, Huaixu, who was standing beside him, shook his head indifferently.
"We are recognized as the world's number one in terms of [mystery], but in fact, we are only slightly inferior to the Ugly Country in terms of [technology], it's just that the two sides have different focuses."
"Oh? What's the difference?"
"Our [Super Technology] focuses more on support and is more cautious in development, while they... Emmm..."
Pursing his lips, Huaixu pondered for a moment and sighed.
"To put it nicely, they are letting a hundred flowers bloom. To put it bluntly, they have no bottom line."
"Once, in order to research a virus weapon, they infected all the creatures in the entire Fantasy Realm and turned them into zombies, which directly led to a doomsday-level disaster."
"It was quite a big deal at the time, but because they controlled the media, it was forgotten."
"But I heard that they were still conducting this research secretly, and as a result, a virus leaked, causing the destruction of a small city in reality..."
Listening to Huaixu's narration, Zhu Haomiao crossed his fingers, put them under his nose, and fell into silence.
I seem to have seen this plot somewhere...
Could that small city be called Raccoon City?
Thinking of Li Cang's familiar golden armor, Zhu Haomiao narrowed his eyes in confusion.
Is it that the fantasy work of the previous life has turned into reality?
Or is it because of a 'story' that it was created into a work?
Which came first, the chicken?
Or which came first, the egg?
The confusing causal logic gave Zhu Haomiao a headache. Finally, he shook his head and put these distracting thoughts aside.
You shouldn’t think about things so far away now, you should focus on the present!
With his eyes fixed, Zhu Haomiao looked at the big screen and gave a decisive order.
"The drone is approaching the battlefield."
"Roger that!"
"[Pterosaur] descends, altitude 2000."
"Superb situational awareness activated."
…………
As the altitude decreases, the details on the ground gradually magnify, and countless ant-sized black dots come into view, "slowly" crawling at an imperceptible speed.
The optical lens captured and magnified the images of ragged humans with flushed and excited faces and dark skin, waving simple weapons and rushing towards the pass with high morale.
But not long after, after leaving behind hundreds of corpses, they retreated like the tide, and were replaced by the next wave of people rushing up, howling.
From a high altitude perspective, these people looked like waves, one after another, seemingly endless.
"The situational awareness radar has detected a dense energy response. Should we activate active detection?"
At this moment, he heard his subordinates' questions and Zhu Haomiao nodded without hesitation.
"Yes." "Your Majesty's order, active detection is activated!"
drop drop~
In an instant, densely packed small dots appeared on the vast land on the screen, each showing a different aura.
And at the end of the sight, countless small points of light gathered together, forming a dazzling spot of light on the screen.
"what is that?"
"Adjusting the camera."
Soon, the hundreds-fold optical zoom camera brought the distant scene closer. On a small hill, a group of people were looking into the distance, gazing at the battlefield.
Leading the group was a tall, muscular centaur who was as majestic as a mountain.
However, at the moment when the drone's camera locked onto the Centaur, he seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised his eyes, scanning the sky with a sharp gaze.
"Beep beep! The enemy is following us! The enemy is following us!"
A sharp and piercing alarm suddenly rang out, but before the operator could react, the Centaur focused his vision, and his hawk-like pupils captured the drone from a long distance.
The high-definition optical equipment clearly captured the cold light in his eyes. The extremely oppressive gaze pierced through the screen and pierced people's hearts, as if they saw the person behind the scenes who was thousands of miles away.
"Beep beep! Enemy locked! Enemy locked!"
"what?!"
It was as if their eyes met across time and space, and a low cry of surprise suddenly arose in the hall.
The next second, the tall centaur grabbed a longbow, and golden lightning snakes emerged from his body. He raised his hand and shot.
"Emergency roll!"
Just as the Centaur shot the arrow, the operator finally reacted and made the drone roll and dive quickly in an attempt to avoid the attack.
However, a streak of golden light quickly enlarged on the screen, drawing an elegant arc and accurately catching up with the drone lens.
Nourishing~
After a faint sound of electricity, the huge screen was left in complete darkness.
A few seconds later, a mechanical electronic sound rang out in the hall.
"[Pterosaur] lost signal."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhu Haomiao gave the order softly.
"Rewind to the last few seconds."
"Yes."
Soon, the image of the Centaur drawing his bow and arrow reappeared on the screen.
"What's the distance at this time?"
"3800."
"What is the flight time of the arrow?"
"In less than a second, the speed exceeded Mach 12!"
"........."
What kind of hypersonic missile is this? !
The key also comes with a lock!
Looking at the trajectory that clearly drew an arc, Zhu Haomiao rubbed his chin with interest.
"Who is this guy?"
"Comparing the database."
"Yes, Hongjila, the fourth son of the current Khan, the fourth heir to the nomadic empire, and the son of destiny."
"Now, the suspicion can be removed."
With just that one arrow, an ordinary first-class master could not do it. Only a super-class grandmaster could do it.
The term "super grandmaster" is almost synonymous with the child of destiny.
If you can go one step further and enter the [Transcendence] mode, you will definitely be the destined protagonist!
I worked overtime all night today and am still in the company. o(╥﹏╥)o
I really don’t have time to write, so I can only post the only chapter I have saved. There is only one chapter tonight.
Fortunately, I can take a day off tomorrow, so I will try to code more.
(End of this chapter)
