Frequent earthquakes have begun to bring panic to the public. In scientific terms, it is: half of the faults below the earth's crust have begun to move frequently, and the entire Pacific plate is beginning to collapse... In this San Andreas in San Francisco In the area where fault activity is most likely to occur, there have been 16 earthquakes of more than 5.0 in total, and a total of 136 people have lost their lives.
In the face of such facts, although the officials are still shouting at the top of their lungs, it undoubtedly makes the base's tickets easier to sell.
So far, the number of tickets sold in the base has reached or even exceeded 50,000, and the first airship formation test flight in the base has also undergone a complete rehearsal and inspection. The purpose was to give people who bought tickets a certain amount of confidence. . Thousands of crew members were even invited to watch the test ride.
The scene at that time was indeed shocking. The length of an airship reached an astonishing 318 meters, the diameter was 60 meters, the dead weight was 300 tons, and the volume was 300,000 cubic meters. And the airship as the core of the formation reached a length of 500 meters!
However, the number of people carried by ordinary airships has reached 5,000, while the number of people carried by core airships has been reduced to 1,000. This is mainly because the members who can ride the core airship are all people of status, and they must pay attention to comfort, and the role of the core airship is to transport most of the food, machinery, and so on. Even so, the expected passenger capacity of an airship formation can reach about 35,000 people.
Think about it in your mind, a total of seven such behemoths are docked together, and the distance between the airships must reach 150 meters, which is almost comparable to a medium-sized park!
Because it can't be too ostentatious, the take-off height of the airship formation is only limited to within 50 meters. Even so, the thirty tentacled self-rolling rope ladders hanging from each airship are densely packed and overwhelming. The shocking roar of the humming motor deeply shocked these visitors!
The people who were invited to watch the ceremony today are naturally people of high status. When the huge lifting force generated by the airship stretched the steel cable of the gondola straight, they began to visit various places under the invitation of the guide. Of course , It starts to visit the worst kind of large cabin first, then looks at the ordinary cabins, and then visits in turn, and finally the so-called VIP box.
If you take these VIPs directly to their custom-made rooms as soon as they arrive, there is no doubt that they will be picky in their hearts after being cultivated by the taste of the presidential suite. However, people are animals that can think and compare. After visiting the large rooms with limited water supply, shared toilets and showers.
These VIPs deeply felt that the value for money was excellent, and more importantly, they also witnessed the situation that the core airship could disconnect from the sub-airship next to it at any time, which undoubtedly enhanced their sense of security. Even superiority—a sense of dominance that puts life and death in the hands of everyone else.
So needless to say, after this viewing ceremony, there was another frenzy of buying tickets. A large number of human resources and material resources began to be frantically concentrated in this abandoned factory in the suburbs of London. Needless to say, the rest is just nearby. The rent of the rented house has suddenly risen by 1300%, you know the fanaticism of these people.
…
The red light of "beep beep beep" flashed, Fang Senyan picked up the phone, this special phone has been encrypted by Dr. Octopus, there is no danger of being tapped. Dr. X's slightly tired but gentle voice came from the opposite side.
"Two things, Mr. Sailor. We now find that boarding is a big problem, and the number of people holding our tickets has exploded to two hundred thousand. Because of the sudden increase in wealth and manpower, our productivity has once again increased. Ascension, it is estimated that the transportation capacity of fourteen formations can be formed, allowing nearly half a million people to survive, but the premise is-can you confirm that the specific time and place at that moment are accurate? Otherwise, if it happens in advance, it will be very difficult. It could lead to the death of a large number of innocent people."
Fang Senyan said:
"I'm sure, Professor X - but won't the expansion of production bring additional trouble? Like your enemies? Their powers can easily be horribly devastating, and the bastards from our world who want to correct history .”
Magneto interrupted, and said seriously:
"Sailor, those guys are just lonely. They are not executioners or butchers. Hulk and Batman can only carry hundreds of people in the aircraft they built. After seeing our behavior, they all restrained a lot. Probably not. Come and wreak havoc, because I think they certainly don't want hundreds of people living alone on Earth. Maybe the war between us will continue, but not now."
"As for the guys you talked about who came from the same place as you and corrected history, they should have rushed to China now. A reliable source confirmed that China has indeed faked thousands of Arks! It is difficult to chew with us here Compared with the hard bones of China, they seem to have chosen the distant China. The US government also took a breath, so it began to try to contact us slowly and consider the way of initial cooperation. If the negotiation is successful, we will even consider assisting the government Quickly build a production line for airships."
"I understand." Sheyan said. "I can be sure that the disaster has been delayed. December 21, 2012 was not the end of the world, but it started 300 hours later. The disaster first occurred in the Gulf of California, then San Andres. Fault zone."
"There will be a buffer time of two hours here in New York... When the half-hour-long earthquake over magnitude 10 is over, the survivors will have another three hours to linger on their last legs. The memory will be frozen on the terrifying tsunami waves that almost cover the sky... "
"Understood." Although Professor X had heard Sheyan's description more than once, his voice was still painful and choked. "How are you doing there, do you need help?"
"Everything is going well." When Fang Sheyan said this, he looked at Kulutuo next to him. This guy who looked like a fat black child was munching on the old Beijing chicken roll, and the red tomato juice was all over the corners of his mouth. , while his other hand was pressed against the hard wall.
It can be seen that under the effect of Kurutuo's ability, the mud and sand on the wall rustled down, and the fortifications that were said to be able to prevent nuclear weapons attacks were vulnerable to the attack of the double-headed Cyclops' ability. Kurutguo took another bite of the chicken roll, then impatiently pulled the decomposed silt with his hands, and then broke the steel bars inside. As his rough behavior deepened, suddenly there was a harsh The alarm sounded.
But Fang Sheyan is still very calm, because in this secret place that looks like a holiday villa, there are a total of 87 guards armed to the teeth, and the alarm is for them to hear, but these guards have lost their actions and skills. The freedom of speech was firmly tied up by No. 7 in the way that the natives of Dubai bound their prey.
Finally, the safe wrapped in six-meter-thick reinforced concrete was dug out. It is said that if it cannot be opened from the front, the items inside will be forcibly damaged. So Fang Sheyan, who didn't get the password to open it, started from the back of the safe and easily exploded its chrysanthemum with an attitude of trusting it.
There are a lot of things in the safe, but Fang Sheyan's eyes finally stayed on a seemingly ordinary gem. He turned on the flashlight and directly shined on it. In the end, a strangely erect pupil appeared strangely, and after shaking the flashlight a little, the light reflected from the pupil turned out to be like fire! !
"It seems that we have found the true owner again." Seeing this scene, Zi couldn't help feeling emotional: "Wow, it's really beautiful."
She marvels with a woman/dragon admiration for glittering things like jewels:
"Even after the pupils of the Feathered Serpent God are forcibly pried off, they still retain their majestic qualities. This is a legendary work of art that cannot be counterfeited, at least it cannot be imitated by modern technology. The U.S. government I hid it in the deepest place and refused to take it out for exhibition. I remember that in the real world, the group finally made sacrifices in exchange for the opportunity to witness the true appearance of this treasure, but I didn’t expect the government to change its mind temporarily.”
Old Charlie also strode in at this time, with Ramtas following behind him, carrying an unremarkable box in his hand:
"I've already checked, and the golden sacrificial dagger is also in it. It was shipped in the same batch as the pupil of the Feathered Serpent God. In addition, the fang mask of the Indian chief found in San Antonio has exceeded the requirements of the big collectors. Do we still need to find the Crystal Skull?"
Sheyan wondered:
"Why not? Space is always generous to the guy who can do the job perfectly, and this is a job with no rivals—at least in America, right?—Where is the address of the Crystal Skull? Well, it's in a private collector This guy has a really long name: Jakaya Mrisho Hassan Mwini Kikwet. We have to hurry up and get this thing sorted out as much as possible before the FBI finds him, always with It's not a good thing for the government to be against it."
Seeing how Zi and Wuge stared at the "Pupil of the Feathered Serpent God", Fang Sheyan resolutely canceled his plan to keep this thing. But at this time, Dr. Octopus called and asked about one thing:
"Sailor, I remember that you once told me that the final geological evolution of the end of the world in 2012 is that the Cape of Good Hope in Africa has become the highest peak in the world, and the overall change in the United States has not changed much, right?"
"Yes." Fang Senyan said: "The American plate is like a biscuit, it was snapped into two pieces, but most of them are still intact."
"Very good." Doctor Octopus said excitedly: "The resources we have now are really amazing, but there are too many things we want to keep, so I plan to get a few in the most stable area of the inland plate. A waterproof underground warehouse, where all the necessary things are stuffed in. As long as there is one that can be preserved, it is estimated that it can save us at least the next few years or decades of struggle."
"Good idea!" Fang Sheyan said: "I think you can directly ask the government about this matter. Those nuclear shelters can be easily modified to achieve an extremely good waterproof effect. Human civilization can be preserved a little bit more, huh , I still have something to do, I'll go first."
…
Jakaya Mrisho Hassan Mwini Kikwet—referred to as Mr. Jakaya's home is on the outskirts of Detroit. It is already a remote place, but the blue-and-white-painted villa is in the shade The shade still looks quite delicate, and the lawn at the entrance has also been carefully trimmed. Under the blazing sunlight that has gradually faded at four o'clock in the afternoon, it is somewhat in the style of the impressionist oil painters of the 19th century.
—If there were not a few corpses on the lawn and a few police cars rushing up indiscriminately.
"Step on the brakes, put in neutral, turn off the engine, and pull the handbrake." Fang Sheyan completed these actions in one go, and then jumped down from the top. It seemed that his actions were not much different from usual, but the kind of strict vigilance revealed The meaning is ready to come out.
At this time, the reef is ready to stand in front of Zi, Sanzai, and Wuge, and Sheyan is the first echelon formed by two guys who can be resurrected, Ramtas and No. 7.
Fang Senyan walked to the grass, first of all hastily observed and then came to a conclusion:
"It seems that the efficiency of the FBI is still a little higher than ours, but this time they seem to have encountered a difficult situation."
Fang Senyan walked to the side of the police car while talking, and immediately affirmed his conclusion, because there was also a dead body in the driver's seat. In gear, the steering wheel was turned several times, but the policeman had no strength to pull up the handbrake.
Then Fang Sheyan bent down and inspected the corpse, and after his fingers touched the naked skin of the corpse, it seemed that something like a root had burrowed into it:
"The identity of the deceased is... a first-level detective, and the gun has been fired, which means that the guy we are going to face next is probably immune to bullet damage. Eh, the cause of this guy's death turned out to be …”
Sheyan's face was shocked, he stood up and kicked the corpse's head, the head was shattered immediately, but inside the skull was pale bones, mucus, bloodshot, nothing, not even the spine. His spinal cord also disappeared!
This person's brain and spinal cord seemed to be evacuated in a strange way, they were all sucked clean!
"What is this? A variant of a vampire? A brain eater? A mind flayer?" Sheyan frowned.
At this moment, No. 7 spit out his lizard-like red and long tongue, and yelled a few times at the reef, and the reef immediately said:
"He said he just felt a very special breath leaving."
Sheyan thought for a while and said:
"Zi, you come with me, Reef, you protect Sanzai, Kurutuo goes to the high slope next to it, where the view is wide, and you can monitor the movements of the enemies here at any time. Wuge, prepare some spells that can control the enemy, We're here to find the Crystal Skull, not to kill people, and remember to be within reach of the hand of God on the reef at all times."
Following Sheyan's arrangement, all the people in the team started to run precisely like gears. Sheyan was still opening the way outside. He walked into the main entrance of the villa, and Zi walked side by side with him. I don't know why, although the atmosphere here is gloomy and weird, but Zi's heart suddenly becomes joyful, and there is an indescribable hope in her heart, that is, to be able to walk side by side with this man all the time .
Sheyan pushed open the front door of the villa.
Zi also looked very casual at this time, but above the ten slender fingertips, there were arcs of light shining that could sting people's eyes. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still slightly nervous because of what she saw. Spectacle frowned.
Because too many people died in the living room, and all of them had distorted faces. Among the dead, although most of them were policemen and FBIs in black suits, there were also servants, old people, and even a little girl! !
There is no doubt that the cause of their death is exactly the same, the brain and spine are gone. Judging from the scene, the numerous bullet marks on the wall also indicate that there was also an extremely fierce gun battle here, but it seems that the bullets are indeed ineffective. It doesn't matter, or it doesn't matter if it hits.
The two walked up to the second floor, and found that there was no one there except for the corpse. Fang Sheyan glanced over a family photo next to him, and said with certainty:
"It seems that all the family members died in the villa, except Mr. Jakaya we are looking for."
Zi knew that Sheyan had always had a photographic memory, so she believed in Sheyan's judgment. She searched the inside and outside of the villa again, and after confirming that the murderer had gone away, she sent a safe signal to let everyone in. At the same time, No. 7 and Ramtas went out on guard.
At this time, although the whole team seemed to have returned to their usual appearance, the kind of caution was something that Mogansha never had before his death. Everyone is cautious like walking on thin ice, just for fear of suffering the severe pain like breaking a limb again.
The next step is of course a careful search. The purpose of everyone coming here is not to solve the case or to avenge justice, but to get the crystal skull and leave immediately. During the search, Sanzai suddenly found a hospital in a drawer. I took out the paper bag and looked at a few of them. I was a little stunned and hurriedly asked everyone to take a look.
It turned out that in the paper bag was the film taken by the doctor using CT technology, and the patient's name on it was Jakaya.
These CT films looked fine at first, similar to normal people, but later on, the patient's skull on the CT films gradually became weird, and gradually revealed unexpected features. In a CT film taken a few days ago, the shadow of the skull shown was exactly the same as the crystal skull they were looking for!
"What's the situation?" Everyone was even more surprised. The crystal skull carved by the Mayans actually replaced the human skull and grew into Jacaya's head! It would be unbelievable if such a mysterious thing had not been witnessed with one's own eyes.
The crystal skull is a sacred object carved by the Mayans themselves. From the perspective of mysticism, it is equivalent to a magic weapon, so its characteristics are very obvious compared with modern people. Kaya's film is used as a reference, so it is easy to make a judgment.
Sheyan pondered for a while and said:
"It is said that there is a mysterious power in the crystal skull, and there are also rumors that the crystal skull is linked to the end of the world in 2012. There are 13 crystal skulls in total, which hide information about the origin and death of human beings, and can help humans unlock the secret of life in the universe. Mystery. People have until December 21, 2012 to find all the skulls. That date is the end of the Mayan calendar that has cycled for 5126 years. Unless the 13 skulls come together and are placed in the correct position, the earth will fly away Axis. Only in that way can the supernatural power of the skull save the earth, and the change of Jacaya may be related to this legend."
Reef said in disbelief:
"What about these dead people? Could it be that Jakaya was the murderer? Hell, there are his sons and granddaughters lying downstairs!"
Sheyan said lightly:
"I noticed when I was checking that the people living in the villa died at least five hours earlier than the FBI people. If I'm right, Jakaya should no longer be classified as a human being. , so of course I will not be fettered by human emotions, what I am curious about now is, what is this guy still doing here after eating everyone in the villa? He didn’t leave quickly until we came.”
Sanzi immediately said:
"I asked Kurutuo to come and look for it."
Under the influence of the power of the little two-headed cyclops, almost no secret room can escape its power detection-unless there is nothing related to earth around the secret room. So soon, a dark compartment the size of a closet was discovered. There was a mirror in it, which was extremely stern, almost covered in blood, and beside it was a scrawled diary.
"The Crystal Skull is different, I can see that very clearly."
"Is the end of the world really coming?"
"It resonates, yes, it resonates! Is the legend of the thirteen skulls true?"
"I can no longer stare into its eyes. Legend has it that the skull was used by the Mayans to hypnotize patients when they operated on them. It seems that something is calling it."
"My head hurts!! I have to look at it, I'm done with the fucking pain, ahh!"
"Why do I think this damn crystal skull looks delicious??"
"I'm not mistaken, just now, in the illusion, I burned the crystal skull red and threw it into the water, it can be shattered into powder, and then... that priest gained eternal life!"
"Well, I have to take a gamble... In short, I am also in the late stage of lymphoma, and I only have three months to live."
"The black crystal skull, I saw it, is that the motivation that has been calling me? Is that the voice that has been echoing in my heart?"
"Great God, I want to leave your portrait to worship day and night, and I want to open my body and mind to you at the same time!"
"Master...calls...provides nourishment..."
…
Looking at this series of scribbled notes, Sheyan and the others fully realized that if a person goes crazy for his life, he can do anything. The absurdity of turning crystal skulls into powder and eating them in order to live forever may sound ridiculous, but this Jacaya did it meticulously.
At the same time, everyone also concluded that the skull was definitely not made of any crystal, but another unknown substance. This thing was broken into powder and eaten, and then slowly turned Jakaya's skull into " "Crystal", no matter how it sounds, it sounds like a special kind of parasite.
"It looks like this guy was also induced by a black crystal skull." Sheyan judged:
"It is very likely that everything this guy did was done under psychological suggestion and psychological induction, and then he became a puppet completely and was controlled. There is no way, now we can only catch up and chop off its head to be able to communicate , Fog Song, can you track its actions?"
Wuge girl said in a crisp voice:
"It should be possible. This guy is full of rotten, dirty, bloody dark smells. You only need a Madoka dryad to clearly find this person."
In the singing of Wuge girl, a small tree began to pull out its roots, and then the rapid branches began to grow rapidly, and then bent into the shape of a centaur. The difference is that the skin is tender green, and The upper half of the body looks like a little girl, happily walking ahead and playing the role of a hunting dog.
The Madoka tree spirit found the way Jakaya escaped without much effort. Perhaps the trampled grass and leaves were not obvious, but the corpses of animals and humans that were left along the way from time to time were. It is very clearly placed in front of everyone.
What these corpses have in common is that when the head is stepped on, it looks like a hollow box, leaving only an empty shell.
Under the leadership of the tree spirit, a group of people also chose a straight line to track, and fortunately none of them were ordinary people, otherwise, the difficulties along the way would have been directly exhausted.
After climbing over the mountains that are neither high nor steep, what appeared in front of them was a vast and incomparable wilderness, the Western Wilderness.
A railway stretches across the land in two halves like a zipper. Now that there is a railway, it is natural to maintain it. Therefore, there are many settlements in the wilderness that maintain the road. These settlements have strong consumption power and stable work, so slowly These form administrative units similar to towns.
When Fang Sheyan and the others were brought into this maintenance section by the tree spirit, they realized that the situation here was extremely tragic. To be precise, they completely slaughtered human beings as if they were food!
At least more than half of the people died tragically on the street! ! The previous corpses had been dead for too long, so they could not be seen clearly. Now that there were fresh corpses as a reference, it could be clearly seen that they died after being pierced into their bodies by sharp objects the size of wires.
An indescribable fishy smell echoed in the entire air! The smell of brains being boiled is even more disgusting than the smell of blood.
Sheyan was still walking at the front of the team, when suddenly, the window of the building in front of him broke, and a black shadow flew out with a crash, but this black shadow was knocked away by Zi's force barrier , but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a dying human being.
Of course, he was hit hard and killed instantly on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, several corpses were thrown out from the window. It was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake for a while, and everyone could only back up. Unexpectedly, one of them bounced up just after landing!
From the surface of his body, a large number of radiating independent blood vessels spewed out with a "chuck". Each blood vessel is blue in color. If the wire is thick and thin, it should be at least two or three meters long. It seems to be in the air and in the water flow. The ups and downs, wriggling, indescribably disgusting, and indescribably strange.
Fang Senyan was not afraid at all, he yelled and kicked the monster's chest. His kick speed was too fast, with so many blood vessels dancing wildly, he followed the monster before he could get close. Was kicked and flew out.
After the monster suffered a loss, its chest was sunken in a large area, and it let out a scream, but it didn't want to repent, and continued to pounce, but there was a sly light in its eyes. Sheyan was already pressing him step by step, but suddenly the two "corpses" next to him bounced up too, tightly hugging Fang Sheyan's legs.
At this time, it can be seen that the backs of the two corpses were pierced by the monster's "vessels", turning them into puppets in disguise.
Sheyan's face was expressionless, and as soon as his feet exerted strength, the arm bones of the two corpses immediately made a crisp snapping sound, but his movements were obviously slowed down because of this, and the monster let out a strange cry , already a thick blue blood vessel pierced Sheyan's calf!
The end of the blood vessel looks very soft, but like the mouthparts of a mosquito, it can penetrate into the skin and muscles effortlessly! After a while of peristalsis, it was about to drill into it, and at the same time, it greedily absorbed blood.
It's just that at this time, it can be clearly seen that the Sun Ladder, which felt that its "territory" was invaded, immediately became furious, and its roots violently entangled with the blue blood vessels piercing into the body! After the two met, the blood vessel only persisted for two or three seconds before being entangled by the roots and shrank back like a bamboo!
Then it can be clearly seen that the blood vessel that sucked Fang Sheyan's blood quickly turned red. The blood vessel was originally dark green, but it changed rapidly like a red-hot steel bar, and then began to split differently, forming a network. It stretched out, made a slight twitch with the heartbeat, and then expanded rapidly! After expanding to the limit, it will naturally burn, explode, and self-destruct!
Fang Senyan's attack undoubtedly hurt this guy's vitality!
It let out a miserable scream, and after falling to the ground, it rolled over and landed on the ground with both hands. It ran away quickly, and it can be clearly seen that when this guy was severely injured, there was indeed light in his head. , revealing the crystal skull inside.
This guy fled extremely fast, bouncing back and forth in an instant, and disappeared into the distance. Sheyan didn't intend to chase, but looked to the side and said:
"Did you find out?"
Old Charlie came out from the cover next to him, and said seriously:
"Yes, what Freddy is best at is the illusion, the spiritual department, he can feel, he feels that something has been affecting the guy's way of thinking and brain waves, making it deviate from the normal trajectory of life, like drinking Sprinkling crystal skull powder and other weird incidents are really not something normal people would do."
At this time, Sanzai also took a few photos that he just took and said:
"Let's see the difference!"
This photo is the monster that was just taken. Basically, it can be confirmed that it is Mr. Jakaya from the clothes, and the cruelty and coldness it showed in the battle were vividly photographed. However, when he escaped at the end, he could see that his back had changed, his hands and feet continued to grow longer to facilitate running, and his belly was protruding weirdly like Ruo Hungry, and he deliberately protected it, as if there was something inside Unworthy things.
Looking at this photo, Sheyan said thoughtfully:
"Interesting, it's the first time I've seen a puppet controlled by a crystal skull like Jakaya, but judging by his performance, could it be said that after Jakaya sucked so much brain and spinal cord, only one tenth of it is I use it for myself, and the remaining half is stored in the belly as an offering, and given to the holder of the black crystal skull?"
Speaking of this, Fang Senyan paused, frowned and said:
"I don't know why, but I always have the illusion that if I go further, I will dig deeper and deeper. Once the true face of the black crystal skull holder is revealed, it is very likely to give me an unexpected surprise."
Zi frowned and said:
"You mean it will lead to side missions? But we don't need this right now."
"No." Fang Senyan said seriously: "Just now the sun ladder had direct contact with that guy's vascular thorns. At that moment, I don't know why, but I had a vague feeling of deja vu. I felt that I should be I have seen the owner of the black crystal skull, but the contact with it should be very shallow, otherwise, I definitely shouldn’t be unable to recall it.”
