Coincidentally, there is an excellent testing site that has just been built nearby.
The ravine that was dug out.
"boom!"
After firing a shot at the gully, Xu Xin and Zeng Tao immediately looked into the gully that had been hit.
"Wow, this power is much stronger than the explosive crossbow!"
Zeng Tao was very happy: "The cannon I made is so powerful!"
"This power... is really good." Xu Xin touched his chin and nodded.
More than good.
The shells fired from this huge cannon were made entirely of concentrated gunpowder and exploded upon touching the bottom of the ravine.
The roots of the World Tree exposed at the bottom of the ravine seemed to be bitten by an invisible giant mouth at the moment of the explosion, and a large piece of it disappeared in an instant.
Then, the sound of the explosion reached their ears, and the smoke from the explosion slowly rose from the ravine.
The explosion range of this cannon is almost the same as that of the explosive crossbow, but its power is visibly much stronger!
Moreover, this cannon is just a test version, and it is just a stone cannon!
If it was a purple-grade steel cannon, or even a meteorite cannon...
The power would probably be extremely great!
"Well done." Xu Xin patted Zeng Tao on the head.
"Don't hit me on the head!" Although Zeng Tao said this, she did not dodge, but smiled and said, "So strong, so strong! From now on, I will use the giant blade at close range and the giant cannon at a distance. I will be invincible!"
This cannon is powerful, but its portability is very poor. At present, the only people who can use this cannon without effort are probably Zeng Tao and Wang Lei.
Others, like Xu Xin, can lift it up, but at most can only be used as a portable fixed mortar and cannot be aimed at will.
But it's not bad.
"Brother Xin! What's going on!" Wang Lei, who was in his tree house not far from them, stuck his head out and shouted over here.
The other explorers also looked over here. Wen Guixin and Zhao Xiaochuan even came down from the tree house and ran over here: "What happened?"
Even the ordinary survivors in the distance looked over.
At this tense moment, the sound of the huge cannon exploding made them all tense up immediately.
Xu Xin quickly explained, and they all gave up and returned to their tree houses.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Xin tried several more artillery attacks.
He was very surprised to find that the artillery fire could be continuous.
However, the disadvantage is that the range of the artillery fire is not very far, and 100 meters is the limit.
Because the shells of the giant cannon are made of concentrated gunpowder. After exceeding a hundred meters, this concentrated shell will not be able to maintain its own shape, and will explode directly even if it does not hit anything.
But it’s already very good.
After all, it is a weapon that Zeng Tao can carry with him. It can be regarded as his own gun, and a range of 100 meters is enough.
"Well... I have made the cannon, is it time for me to inject the genetic drug?" Zeng Tao put away the cannon and looked at Xu Xin with sparkling eyes.
Xu Xin looked at the sky.
There shouldn't be any major problems tonight.
"Okay, then I'll take you there. But Lou Fei'er and the others are not here, you..."
"Then why don't I just go to your tree house?" Zeng Tao said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just a matter of being unconscious for an hour or two and then taking a shower?"
Um…
"Okay, let's go."
…
Underground world.
The Wei family directly mobilized all military equipment and carried out a carpet search throughout the city.
Although the other two families expressed dissatisfaction with the Wei family's large-scale mobilization, it was of no use.
There is a very good reason to look for Wei Bai, the head of the Wei family. This is a huge matter.
The other two companies could not really stop them except to express their dissatisfaction.
Because the Yuan family said something extra, Wei Shishi immediately became suspicious of the Yuan family and wanted to search their territory directly.
In the end, although there was no search, the other two companies also quieted down.
Xu Ying and Li Wenxi also took this opportunity to board the helicopter and fly towards the dome of the underground world.
They want to go there to verify their guess.
Soon, the helicopter flew to an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters and flew near the dome.
"These crystal stones are so big!" Li Wenxi exclaimed.
Seen from three thousand meters below, these crystal stones are like pebbles on a cobblestone track, one next to the other, densely and disorderly arranged.
But when you look closer, you will find that these pebble-sized crystal stones are actually the size of small houses.
Moreover, there are large gaps between these crystal stones. Although they cannot destroy the crystal stones, they can still mine and dig upwards from the gaps between the crystal stones.
According to Li Wenxi's exploration, there is a large area of metal ore above.
"This is the original appearance of the crystal stone." Xu Ying explained loudly while carefully observing the dome, "This original city was built under a crystal mine. These are actually exposed raw crystal stones."
The loud noise of the propeller forced Xu Ying to speak loudly so that Li Wenxi could hear her.
"Is it actually a crystal mine?!" Li Wenxi was really shocked this time. He immediately turned his head to look at Xu Ying, "That crystal city on the ground..."
"They are all made from this kind of ore. Hey, fly forward thirty meters!" Xu Ying directed the pilot of the helicopter.
“But… the human base is built under the crystal mine? Wouldn’t it be too easy to be discovered…” Li Wenxi raised his head and looked at the giant crystal ore emitting a white glow.
Even though the distance was only a dozen meters, the brightness of the crystal ore was not dazzling.
It's not even as bright as the core of the tree house.
It is obvious that the energy in this crystal mine is indeed almost exhausted.
Fortunately, the entire dome is covered with crystal mines, which can maintain the eternal daylight in the underground world.
“It’s not that easy. The location of this crystal mine is very remote, and the crystal mine itself has the ability to affect electromagnetic waves. Not only can it not be detected, it will also make this place even more difficult to be discovered.
My brother and his friends spent a long time choosing this location. But... it has been discovered now."
Xu Ying shrugged slightly and was about to continue speaking when her eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, hey, hey, stop, it's right here! I feel it!"
"Here?" Li Wenxi looked up at the dome above and asked in confusion, "Is there any difference between this place and other places?"
"Of course there is a difference. You can't see it, but... it's empty inside!" Xu Ying pointed to a place on the dome, "There, it's empty!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Li Wenxi's arm and said, "Let's go up and take a look!"
"Go up?" Li Wenxi asked in surprise, "You mean, you teleport up?"
"Of course, how else can we get up? There is no entrance here, and even if there is an entrance we can't get in. Do you want the helicopter to hover upside down, sister-in-law?" Xu Ying complained.
"No, I mean, you can't go somewhere you haven't been to, right?"
"There will just be errors, and sometimes errors can be fatal. But at such a close distance, just a dozen meters, the errors can be ignored." Then she said to the helicopter pilot, "Uncle, we're leaving. You don't have to wait here. Just go down!"
As she spoke, she stepped lightly on the ground and fell directly into the whirlpool with Li Wenxi.
"What? You want to leave..." When the pilot turned around, the two women behind him had disappeared.
He didn't even see how the two women disappeared.
"This girl... is worthy of being our god."
The pilot sighed, and without stopping, he immediately descended.
After all, he still has the task of finding Wei Bai, the head of the Wei family.
…
Xu Ying and Li Wenxi appeared directly in an empty space.
An empty and enclosed space.
Although it is closed, it is not dark because there is a crystal stone that is almost exposed inlaid on the ground of this space.
No, it cannot be said to be inlay. It should be said that these crystal stones are originally untouched raw crystal stones and are wrapped in rocks.
Someone carved out an area here, allowing the crystal stones that were originally wrapped in the rock to show a little bit, just enough to illuminate the main area.
“It’s here!”
Xu Ying's eyes lit up, and she pulled Li Wenxi and ran forward a few steps.
"This is..." Li Wenxi said, looking at a metal table about ten centimeters high embedded in the ground. "Is this the transmission device?"
"Yes, this is the teleportation device!" Xu Ying immediately squatted down and reached out to wipe the dust off the teleportation device. "This teleportation device is actually hidden here. Let me take a look... As expected, it has been activated hundreds of times. There must be at least hundreds of people teleported here... Huh?"
She gave a slight groan of surprise.
"What's wrong?" Li Wenxi had been looking up, because the metal mine she had detected was just above her. But when she heard Xu Ying's surprised voice, she immediately lowered her head and asked, "What did you find?"
"Hmm..." Xu Ying's expression changed again and again, and then she stood up. "This teleportation device has a fixed teleportation point. If you want to use the teleportation device to teleport from here to somewhere else, you can only teleport there."
"Teleportation point? Where is it?" Li Wenxi asked immediately.
Xu Ying looked a little incredulous: "It's... the Wei family."
"Wei family... the main family?" Li Wenxi murmured again, "You said before that no matter where in the world, we can use this teleportation device to teleport here, right?"
"Yes." Xu Ying's eyes were full of doubts, and then she pointed to the ground, "But after being teleported here, it's not so easy to go down to the human base two or three thousand meters below.
This requires setting a fixed destination with a teleportation device, and using this teleportation device to send people away. The destination of this teleportation device is the location of the Wei family’s main home.”
The location of the Wei family’s main residence is a military stronghold of the entire underground human base!
It is also the core area of the Wei family. If someone were to be suddenly teleported there...
Wouldn’t the people from the Wei family be able to find out
"So, those who are teleported here, if they want to enter the human base below, they must... teleport from here to the Wei family first." Li Wenxi looked at the teleportation device and said, "The Wei family is an accomplice? Hmm... maybe those who are teleported here have already replaced the people of the Wei family!
Didn’t Wei Shishi say that Wei Bo was mentally unstable for a period of time? Maybe Wei Bo was really replaced! And she hasn’t said what happened to her parents’ death! "
Xu Ying pursed her lips.
After discovering this kind of thing, there is a very high possibility that there is something wrong with the Wei family.
But... the Wei family has been the collaborator of her brother Xu Ying for thousands of years. After she came to this time and space, she went to make sure whether there were any problems with the Wei family. She observed everyone in the Wei family!
She could say with certainty that everyone in the Wei family was an ordinary human being.
An ordinary person with no mutant bloodline, no special abilities, and no ability to survive.
There is basically no difference between them and the humans before the war of aggression broke out thousands of years ago.
At most, it’s just because they are from a military family and have better physical fitness.
Even thousands of years ago, those more well-trained soldiers were stronger than their physical fitness.
These people... are too ordinary, how could they be lackeys
Aren’t running dogs the ones who maintain order
Wait a moment…
Xu Ying suddenly thought of the information Xu Xin told her from Shi Wanyun when she was on the ground.
On the back of the earth, there is a city belonging to human beings!
This was the news she had just learned.
Could it be that these people who were teleported down... are the humans in that city
The humans in that city had a somewhat morbid worship and submission to the alien invaders. If it was them... they could indeed hide it from Xu Ying's perception!
Because they are just ordinary people! And they are very loyal to the alien invaders, so they are also good candidates for being lackeys.
"I have a question." Li Wenxi suddenly asked, "Since it is so troublesome to teleport a second time, why do we have to put the teleportation device on top? Wouldn't it be better to place it directly below?"
"…to cloud my perception."
Xu Ying bit her lip lightly and explained, "If the transmission device is below, I have a certain chance of sensing it within a certain distance, especially when the transmission is activated.
But if it were placed on top of this dome, I wouldn't be able to detect it.
One reason is that this place is very far away from the ground below and is difficult to perceive.
The second reason is, as I just said, the crystal dome will affect electromagnetic waves and affect perception.
Under this double influence, if we don't come up, I will never be able to find the transmission device."
Xu Ying had a terrible headache.
All these arrangements seem to be...
Targeting her
After all, even if the teleportation device was discovered by others, they wouldn't know what it was anyway, only she knew.
Is it really targeting her
No... not necessarily, it could also be targeting her brother Xu Xin.
In short, they are targeting people who have their abilities.
Monsters on the other side of the earth also know a lot about this ability.
After all, they also traveled through time and space to come to this time and space! Just like Xu Ying!
"Is that so? That's basically confirmed." Li Wenxi clapped his hands and said, "There's something wrong with the entire Wei family. They might have been switched... Wait a minute, what about Wei Shishi?"
Li Wenxi remembered something and immediately took off the communicator on his ear.
This thing was given to her by Wei Shishi!
"Wei Shishi..." Xu Ying thought of the girl who had gone against her, "She should be fine."
There is something wrong with the Wei family, that is for sure.
Everyone who comes here through this teleportation array needs to enter the Wei family, so the Wei family is absolutely not free from involvement.
Maybe it was really like what Li Wenxi said, most of them had been replaced long ago!
But Wei Shishi... maybe not.
It was mentioned before that Wei Bo had behaved abnormally for a period of time.
Although she denied it later, if she had been swapped before, she would definitely not say something so suspicious.
She's probably normal!
"We... huh?!"
Xu Ying pulled Li Wenxi back two steps, staring straight at the transmission device.
Li Wenxi immediately guessed the meaning of Xu Ying's action, his eyes fixed, and he asked in a low voice: "Is someone going to teleport here?"
"Well! Be careful!"
