The Law of Heaven

Chapter 31 1904 years

Jianmo stroked the ring on his right hand. As he passed through the thick fog, it felt as if he had crossed some kind of boundary. He vaguely felt that the space-time he was in was like water, fluctuating and fleeting.

He has entered the opposite side.

The off-road convoy also drove up from the winding mountain road, the engines of the vehicles roaring like beasts, the bright headlights piercing through the thick rain and reflecting the torrential rain in the mountains.

In an instant, a piercing noise filled everyone's minds, like a desperate scream.

The mental erosion on the opposite side had already begun; they both experienced intense palpitations, tinnitus, and blurred vision.

The mountain view before them resembled a malfunctioning television screen, flickering with dense black and white dots, distorted and undulating.

Of course, this is not unbearable for the hunters; these symptoms are just an appetizer. What will truly break their minds is yet to come.

"Captain, something's not right."

A security guard, clutching his throbbing head, exclaimed in horror, "This isn't the Mist Hill we know!"

Not only the security personnel, but also the hunters looked around with expressions of horror.

Jian Mo, standing in the rain, silently lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "This is interesting."

For those who grew up in this coastal city, Wushan is naturally a familiar place.

Whether it's a study tour during student years, a company team building activity after growing up, or a weekend getaway with friends, Wushan is always the top choice.

Many older parents also enjoy taking their children hiking in the misty mountains during holidays, which is a common way for locals to strengthen parent-child relationships.

After years of development, Wushan has built seven core scenic areas, as well as wide roads and a cable car that goes directly to the top of the mountain. There are many temples and palaces and other religious sites on the mountain, and many natural landscapes have also been restored.

But now, all traces of commercial activity have disappeared. Even the highways have become rugged, muddy dirt roads, littered with rubble and piles of industrial waste.

This is certainly not a transformation of the world.

Instead, it's about turning back time.

Jian Mo walked towards the industrial ruins in the rain, rummaged around for a while, picked up a dirty armband, and said softly, "This is certainly not the Fog Mountain we know, because this is... Fog Mountain from a hundred years ago."

Everyone was horrified; they recognized the design on the armband as originating from Germany a hundred years ago.

This means that after passing through the fog, they also traveled through time and space, spanning more than a century, and returned to the past.

Time does not flow on the other side; the spacetime they are currently in is that of Wushan more than a hundred years ago.

That is, Kiriyama during the German occupation!

Although the hunters had long been professionally trained, this was their first time entering this alien world formed a century ago. The complex and fearful feelings they had were hard to describe, like crossing the River Styx after death and arriving at the land of the dead.

"Miss Jiang."

Jianmo took out his walkie-talkie and tried to make a call.

A hissing sound came from the walkie-talkie; thankfully, this electronic device still worked on the other side. The girl's clear, cool voice echoed through the rain:
"Received. The third combat sequence has launched an exploration operation and has discovered a Qingdao official gazette from 1904, which was sponsored by the German Jiaozhou Governor's Office."

We are attempting to remap the area inside the mountain, where there are numerous signs of construction work. We have already discovered three work sheds and two man-made shafts. So far, no signs of dead men or zombie activity have been found.

The mental erosion on this side is quite severe, and I also experienced some hallucinations. Based on my assessment, the immunity time for the stress-stage is approximately four hours, and for the creation-stage, it's approximately twelve hours. Beyond that immunity time, there's a possibility of contamination, so please be extremely careful.

I will launch a signal flare in the area near the real world in twenty minutes. Please watch for it. Over.

The girl's response was like that of a sophisticated machine.

Jane breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, exploration on the other side still relied on the combat sequence, which was much more efficient.

"In other words, this heterodox side was formed no later than 1904. What are those Germans up to here? Are they trying to dig up the truth of the universe?"

Li Yun took out a searchlight and looked around. Suddenly, he saw a strange eye on the vine-covered rocks. It seemed to be staring at him with a venomous look in its eyes.

"Fuck!"

He decisively drew his gun: "What is that?"

There was nothing on the rocky cliff. A bead of cold sweat trickled down Li Yun's forehead. The eye he had just seen was too real, and that venomous look seemed familiar.

Among the people he had killed in the past, some seemed to have stared at him with such resentful eyes before they died.

It was as if they wanted to nail him to hell.

"A hallucination?"

Li Yun murmured softly.

The hunters looked over at the sound but found nothing. No one laughed at his earlier lapse in composure. Anything strange could happen in the other side, so caution was necessary.

"Be careful, explore slowly."

Jianmo smoked a cigarette and gestured for everyone to move forward.

The rain intensified, and fog blanketed the rugged mountain path, threatening to send one tumble off a cliff in an instant.

In this situation, driving was no longer an option, and both the security team and the hunter squad had to proceed on foot in the dark.

"Look, what is that?"

Someone exclaimed, "An excavator!"

Excavators, large machines invented more than a hundred years ago, are not surprising to be found in the industrial ruins left by the Germans.

The rusty excavator was stuck halfway up the mountain, its huge shovel still lying on the collapsed rock face.

Jane illuminated the excavator's cab with her flashlight, then suddenly froze: "Stop!"

The instructors, led by Li Yun, were immediately alarmed and drew their automatic assault rifles without hesitation, locking onto their targets using the scope mounted on the rifles.

They were equipped with Tavor X95 assault rifles this time, which are still the standard weapons produced by a defense force in the Middle East. They have a modern modular design and are lightweight and easy to carry.

Lower-level immortal species lack destructive power and still need to rely on modern weapons and equipment for firepower.

After all, the monsters on the other side are still carbon-based life forms. But they regretted it as soon as they actually targeted their targets.

Inside the excavator's cab was a soldier dressed in a German military uniform, his Prussian blue uniform particularly striking.

The soldier appeared to be a young man with typical Germanic features, but his face was covered in fine bloodstains, making him look extremely eerie.

His lips moved slightly, as if he were saying something.

However, neither Jianmo nor Liyun could understand what he was saying. He wasn't speaking German, but rather a strange, hoarse whisper that sent chills down their spines.

At that very moment, fine streaks of blood suddenly split open, as if countless bloodshot eyes had sprung up, with wriggling maggots emerging from the pupils.

"Fuck your mother!"

Even Jianmo couldn't help but curse.

"Everyone get ready!"

Li Yun roared, "Fire!"

In the darkness, the roar of gunfire illuminated the torrential rain and revealed eerie shadows in the grass.

The sound of dogs barking rang out.

The hunters were startled as a series of lithe black shadows emerged from the bushes and pounced on them.

"what?"

In a moment of panic, someone swept a flashlight across the area, illuminating the eerie and ferocious creatures.

That's a dog.

A dog whose body is highly decomposed!

Aihara also heard gunshots coming from halfway up the mountain.

He stood on the boulder at the edge of the cliff and looked around for a moment, but unfortunately he couldn't tell the direction of the gunshot. This mountain valley was too vast, and the range of his mental field was limited.

"I'm so tired, I need to take a break."

In reality, clones don't experience fatigue.

However, the user will feel fatigued from constantly remotely controlling the game, just like playing an online game all day. The game character won't get tired, but you will feel dizzy and lightheaded.

"It's quite a long way to get here by detour."

Aihara remarked, "We've come this far, but thankfully we haven't suffered any mental corruption. This alternate side isn't so scary after all. Is it because my talent is just too good?"

The plan went quite smoothly. Even with the size of Deep Blue Alliance, it was still impossible to blockade the entire Fog Mountain. He only needed to take a detour and easily entered the mountain through the back gate of a resort. Using his pass, he passed through a large area of ​​fog and hiked five kilometers to reach the other side.

The rugged dirt road was very narrow, and it took several hundred steps to open up before it suddenly became bright, like seeing the light after the clouds had parted.

Yes, light.

Because what he saw as soon as he entered was an abandoned shed with old-fashioned kerosene lamps hanging inside, military equipment and unopened military rations everywhere.

The production date on the military rations was 1900.

In the corner, there were piles of wooden crates, all filled with German field uniforms. On the old wooden table, a kettle of water was still burning, and the water was boiling.

It looks like someone just stopped here.

After analysis, Aihara confirmed the basic situation of the opposite side and determined the spacetime in which he was located.

"Well, this was German-occupied territory a hundred years ago, so it's not surprising to see traces left by the Germans. But who the hell boiled this water? Was it a living person or a zombie?"

Aihara now knows that time does not flow in the alternate dimension. Even if a living person from more than a hundred years ago is trapped here, they will not die completely, but will be in a state of being half-alive and half-dead, which is the so-called walking corpse.

But so far, he has seen nothing.

Although he realized that the Mist Mountain of a hundred years ago was no longer the one he was familiar with, this alternate side did not have any substantial impact on him, perhaps because he did not personally attend in his original form.

Anyway, it's not scary at all.

Wang.

A dog barked from the corner.

Aihara was startled, sensing a German Shepherd emerging from a corner of the shed and barking at him.

"Holy crap, there are puppies too?"

For some reason, Aihara faintly smelled the stench of rotting corpses, but the big dog was quite cute, so he casually tore open a bag of military rations and threw it over.

The German Shepherd glanced down at him, completely ignoring him, and then stared at him, scratching its head and cheeks.

"Quite unique."

Aihara shrugged.

At that very moment, he heard rustling footsteps; someone was walking through the jungle and approaching the work shed.

Aihara gripped the Colt Python at his waist without flinching, ready to attack.

The man who appeared in the downpour was a German officer, with the classic handsome features of the Germanic people. His face was sickly pale, his eyes were empty and lifeless, and he was muttering something.

Aihara was taken aback.

Because the German officer wasn't speaking German, but rather broken Chinese!
"Liars, they're all liars... You can't gain immortality here. Betrayal, they did it on purpose..."
