In the afternoon, Lou Chengzhong returned to Fatuya Port.
He didn't say hello to Consul Mao Xiaobing, took a detour, passed through the neighborhood where there were frequent firefights, and left the city on his own, entering the desert outside the oasis.
At this time, the sun is shining brightly, and the sunlight seems to have lost all obstructions and filters, "ignites" the airflow, "burns" the gravel, and what the naked eye sees is "distorted", like an illusion.
During the running, Lou Cheng only felt that the resonance between himself and "heaven and earth" had changed greatly, the darkness weakened, the cold subsided, and the brightness, scorching heat, high temperature and heaviness became clear and intense.
It's like the "cosmic star map" is enlarged and locked in the area covered by the stellar "storm".
"It's no wonder that the strong outsiders pay special attention to 'location'. They have the so-called home court advantage. Different environments can indeed strengthen themselves and weaken the enemy. One plus and one minus, the effect is quite obvious... Relatively speaking, I am hot and cold. Balanced, ice and fire spinning, there are fewer restrictions." Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully, and accelerated his pace, like a high-speed train, whistling through the long yellow sand, dividing a terrifying gully, but In the four volumes of Gangfeng, it was quickly covered with gravel and filled up.
After jumping over the dragon gate, he was tempered by the feedback from the outside world, and his physical strength increased again, but compared with before, there was no substantial leap, even if he would use this to polish day and night in the future, and he approached the taboo field. , will become stronger, but limited.
His biggest change is that his spirit suddenly improved. The trickling stream merged into a rushing river, which made the reflection of the "ice mirror" suddenly expand from one or two meters to about ten meters, and he could rely on "resonance" during battle. , Borrow the corresponding power from the outside world, or enhance the power of fists and feet, attack from a distance, or "reform" the environment to affect the opponent.
Since it is not a real outer gang at present, and the connection with "heaven and earth" is not stable enough, Lou Cheng will experience unstable fluctuations in the use of the latter.
Of course, he has also considered an emergency solution, which is to use "returning strength and holding strength" and using the "pill" formed by balanced rotation to imitate a cultivator and temporarily "reinforce".
While his thoughts were flying, Lou Cheng seemed like a khaki real dragon swimming close to the ground, passing over the sand dunes and the occasional oasis.
This time, in less than two hours, before sunset, he saw the city of Kukan, known as the Pearl of Central Nile.
It is connected to the famous desert in the west and the Isis River in the east. It is rich in mineral deposits, numerous enterprises, and high-rise buildings one after another. It can be regarded as a fairly modern city. In this area, it is only slightly inferior to Dika, the capital of the Nile.
The sky was burning red, magnificent and magnificent, covering the city with a red haze. Lou Cheng walked around the edge of the huge oasis for a while, and found that several important roads were blocked. Nothing out of the ordinary, in stark contrast to Tetans and Fatuya.
Seeing this, the first two words popped up in Lou Cheng's mind:
order!
"The actual controller of Kukang is very capable..." He secretly sighed, did not take the road, overcame many obstacles, and entered the city without a sound.
Passing a few streets, he saw the remaining traces of firefights, the bitter-faced residents queuing up to get the water, and the fanatical or numb marchers.
Because the Chinese consulate in Kukang was organizing a large force to evacuate to Dika, Lou Cheng didn't go there first, and according to the map, he found the vicinity of No. 63 Gunam Street.
This is the residence of Cyrus, the son of Sirius.
However, fierce fighting seemed to have taken place here. Several buildings were burnt black, the windows were almost completely broken, and there were clear bullet holes everywhere.
In such an environment, the third floor of Apartment 63 is particularly conspicuous. All the walls facing the street collapsed, revealing a dilapidated picture inside, as if it had been plundered by the demolition team, so that the upper and lower floors were affected.
"This is an inhuman fight... One side's resistance is quite short, otherwise the whole apartment will collapse..." Lou Cheng stared at Ju Lu's residence, and made a preliminary judgment in his heart:
When Uncle Sirius came to pick up his son's family, he was ambushed. If there were hostages, he might be captured soon...
So who did it
Lou Cheng looked around, and saw that the place was in serious turmoil, except for the horrific corpses, wandering dogs, scurrying rats, and flying insects, there was no one alive. Against the background of sporadic gunshots in the distance, it was extraordinarily quiet and dead. .
At this moment, Lou Cheng's heart skipped a beat, he turned his head to look behind, and said in a low voice:
"Who?"
From the shop with a half-collapsed door, a man with black hair and black eyes came out. He was in his thirties, he described the vicissitudes of life, his eyes were firm, and he looked like a Chinese.
"I'm Wang Dong, a special investigator from the military. Are you Lou Cheng?" The man smiled and took out his ID.
Lou Cheng has restrained his "interaction" with the surroundings, and no longer has the feeling of disturbing the world, he nodded solemnly and said:
"Yes, you are here to investigate Sirius' whereabouts?"
He was not afraid of a sneak attack, and the Yigao people boldly took the certificate, and compared it with the information given by the military to confirm it.
Wang Dong frowned slightly and said:
"After Sirius lost contact, I came to Kukang and launched an investigation. I was much earlier than you. At that time, there were still residents here who had not evacuated. After inquiries and follow-up verification, it was basically confirmed that the Sirius family was killed by Isis. The high priest of the temple took it away and is currently being held inside the temple, waiting to be dealt with."
"The Temple of Isis? The High Priest?" Lou Cheng returned the ID to the other party.
Wang Dong pondered for a while and said, "When Sirius sought refuge, he revealed a lot of secrets, including the religious conflicts in Nile, and the Isis sect is the pharaoh's diehard loyalists, and the pharaoh seems to want to restore the ancient situation where there are many gods... In short , the high priest of the Isis sect in the local temple represented the pharaoh's will to some extent, and he was not weak, and he was close to Waigang. General Sattah of the Brotherhood wanted to kill him before, but he failed for some reason. Besides him, there are three or four inhuman powerhouses in the temple, if you want to save someone, be careful."
"Alright, do you have any more detailed information about the temple and the high priest?" Lou Cheng asked.
"Many, including satellite photos of the temple, self-drawings by visitors, and structural drawings of municipal construction..." Wang Dong took out a bunch of things from his military backpack.
With these, Lou Cheng basically grasped the situation of the temple after nightfall, but he didn't act in a hurry, but took advantage of the darkness to walk around the building, his brows opened, and he became spiritual. As an invisible hand, it stretches and covers a range of ten meters, so that every detail is reflected in the ice mirror of the heart lake either vaguely or clearly.
There is no premonition of danger... There is a certain distance between the inhumans... Lou Cheng stopped and said to Wang Dong: "Have you made the arrangements for the follow-up evacuation?"
"It's done!" Wang Dong replied in a deep voice.
"Then I will act." Lou Cheng nodded slightly.
"Be careful!" Wang Dong couldn't help exhorting.
"Okay." Lou Cheng didn't say much, turned around, stretched out his hand, pressed on the protrusion of the wall, and the whole person jumped into the air and jumped to the edge of a window on the third floor.
He pulled his shoulders, and with precise force, he directly "unloaded" the window and laid it flat silently.
Jumping in, there was no one inside, Lou Cheng leaned against the door, listened attentively, sensed carefully for a while, suddenly opened the door, and rushed out, at this time, there were only two guards left in the corridor outside, instinctively looked come over.
Outlining the ancient characters in his mind, and the sharp cold light in his eyes, Lou Cheng just glanced at the two strong and strong guards, causing them to collapse and burst into tears, as if they had encountered a monster from the depths of the underworld.
After the qualitative change in spirit, the effect of Lou Cheng's simplified "soldier" formula more than doubled!
Stepping up, raising both hands, Lou Cheng knocked out the two guards with a knife on one side, walked around the circular corridor, and rushed to the opposite side silently.
That's the room of the High Priest!
Lou Cheng's plan was to capture the thief first and capture the king first, so as not to waste time inquiring about where Sirius's family is being held from ordinary guards who may never know.
His heartbeat slowed down, his breathing weakened, and the temperature of his body surface was covered by cold, and he successfully escaped the infrared alarm.
"There is more than one person in the room..." Lou Cheng looked like a god looking down, using the ice mirror to reflect the blurry situation inside.
In this regard, there is indeed a qualitative gap between non-human and Waigang!
"Two non-humans, but in different small rooms, one feels stronger, and there are a few of mediocre, or even not, together with the weaker non-humans..." Judging to this point, Lou Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he understood. What is the situation.
The Sirius family was imprisoned in the secret room of the high priest's residence!
Just right! Lou Cheng murmured secretly, deliberated on the next details, and suddenly opened the door and entered!
The high priest noticed it immediately, and just stood up from the reclining chair, he saw a black shadow approaching, and there was a bang and a strong wind in his ears.
He shook out his arms violently, one up and one down, one block and one punch, all of which were condensed with dim light, without any stinginess, trying to create a bigger movement and attract the other strong men in the temple.
At this moment, a biting wind that seemed to come from the depths of the North Pole blew up and hit him, making him shiver involuntarily.
With a tremor, his strength weakened, and Lou Cheng's right fist had been swung around the head, hitting the high priest's forearm.
Before he entered the gate, he had prepared a "wake-up call" and used it to mobilize the outside world and attract the "northern wind"!
boom!
Amidst the low crashing sound, the High Priest, who was caught off guard, lost his mind for an instant, as if frozen.
Lou Cheng succeeds in one move, how can he let it go, his left palm strikes like lightning, knocking out his opponent!
Between breaths, the winner is already divided!
Raiders do have a huge advantage!
He stretched out his feet, and the high priest fell silently and lay down again.
Without delay, Lou Cheng found the secret room, broke the lock, and opened the door to enter.
"Who?" A black-haired, blue-eyed old man with dark skin and a strong figure asked feebly.
He seemed to have been injected with some medicine.
Before Lou Cheng could answer, after seeing the other person's face clearly, the old man blurted out in surprise:
"Are you Shi's disciple?"
"Yes, Mr. Sirius?" Lou Cheng asked for confirmation.
Feeling the influx of cold wind and the interaction between the opponent's body and the outside world, the blue-eyed old man nodded with half doubt and half joy:
"I'm Sirius."
After answering, he muttered to himself:
"I didn't say it was so strong..."
"Let's leave here first." Lou Cheng looked around and made a decision.
...
Inside a building near the military base.
Constantine looked at the "mummy" idly: "The helper hasn't arrived yet?"
"It will probably be dawn." "Mummy" replied calmly.
At this moment, someone came and whispered a few words to the guard outside, and the guard turned around and knocked on the door, asking the "mummy" to go out.
After a while, the "mummy" came back and said to Constantine:
"Something happened at the temple. There were little reptiles making trouble. I'll deal with it."
Constantine shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Come back as soon as possible, don't make me too boring."
