The holographic screen suddenly lit up, and the signal of Army-Breaker Bureau Headquarters was forcibly cut in.
Qin Zhan's calm face takes up most of the screen.
"Li Zhengyang!"
There was chaos behind Qin Zhan, and several Research Institute managers were frantically comparing data against the Southern Frontier real-time monitoring chart.
Qin Zhan lowered his voice.
"Shen Yuan, Southern Frontier What's going on in that city?"
He turned his hand and poked Li Zhengyang at the other end of the screen.
"And you!"
"You just left the headquarters a few hours ago and you're causing trouble for us again?"
Li Zhengyang threw up the key in his hand.
"Watch your wording."
"It came out on its own this time and has nothing to do with me."
Qin Zhan slammed the tabletop.
"The key glows in your hand, the beam shoots out from Raven Headquarters, and the ancient city breaks through the ground. You tell me it doesn't matter?"
Li Zhengyang Don't be anxious, don't panic, lift Tactical Watch.
"Don't rush to blame, I have a video."
His hand moved continuously on the screen, and the screen record after entering the hall was packaged and sent to him.
After a while.
Li Zhengyang paused the scene and pointed the glowing key in front of the camera.
"Do you understand?"
"The door was opened according to normal procedures. The black air escaped from behind the door. The key was also sealed inside by the association."
Qin Zhan choked.
A researcher next to him turned his head and coughed twice.
Shen Yuan opened his mouth to make a rescue.
"The video has not been deleted."
"I can testify in the name of the Raven Association that Li Martial Saint did not accidentally touch the ruins agency."
Li Zhengyang turned around and glanced at him.
"What is accidental contact?"
"I opened the door seriously."
"You have been researching for ten years without success. Just because I am efficient, you cannot attribute me to the cause of the accident."
Shen Yuan was choked and paused.
"Yes, it is turned on normally."
Qin Zhan was too lazy to listen to the two people arguing and directly transferred the video to Research Institute.
"Dean Zhou, check the structure of the ancient city."
On the right side of the screen, an old man pushed away the assistant who was blocking the way and maximized the satellite image.
At this time the ancient city had stopped rising.
"The building structure does not belong to the existing Great Xia system."
"The main material is unknown, and the internal towers are constructed in an unprecedented way."
Qin Zhan asked.
"Can you determine the date?"
"Can't."
Dean Zhou stuck the screen on a high tower in the center of the city.
"But the energy system is still running."
"The energy nodes in the city remain active, and there are even larger energy circuits underground. It has been buried for so many years and can still activate on its own. Its value is immeasurable."
A researcher leaned in front of the screen.
"Minister Qin, from the ancient ruins discovered in the past, even if only a single room remains, Cultivation Technique, weapons or lost technologies can be unearthed."
"This time it's a complete ancient city."
"If the interior is well preserved, the harvest may exceed the total of Great Xia's exploration of all ruins in the past fifty years."
As soon as these words came out, Elder Raven in the hall could not sit still.
"The stone gate was brought back by our association."
"The key has been kept by the association for ten years."
"Raven Association should have the majority of the exploration rights of the ancient city."
"Part of it?"
Li Zhengyang tilted his head too far.
"Who opened the door?"
Several elders shut up.
Li Zhengyang shook the key.
"Who has the key now?"
The white-robed elder couldn't hold himself any longer.
"But the clues belong to the Association."
"The clues are worth five billion, I'll charge you to verify them."
Li Zhengyang clasped his fingers together and hid the key back in his palm.
"Now there is a city popping up. That is a new project."
"For new projects, the price must be renegotiated."
Qin Zhan slapped the tabletop.
"Shut up, everyone."
"We haven't entered the city yet, so it's pretty quick to distribute things."
Insert the signal from the other end into the communication channel.
A short-haired man shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Southern Frontier Minister, Han Zhenyue."
The short-haired man stood at attention and reported.
"The first batch of garrison troops have withdrawn thirty kilometers away from the site."
"I have ordered three nearby cities to initiate secondary evacuations, with priority given to clearing residential areas near mountainous areas."
"Southern Frontier The third and fifth flying groups have blocked the airspace, and all six ground channels are blocked."
"No one is allowed to enter the fifty kilometers of the ancient city without Army-Breaker Bureau's approval."
Qin Zhan nodded.
"Is there any movement around Demon-Human?"
"Not yet."
"Keep staring."
Qin Zhan drew three warning lines on the Southern Frontier map.
"Only reconnaissance personnel are left on the first line, heavy firepower is deployed on the second line, and the third line is responsible for the transfer of residents."
"In all actions, the priority is to protect civilians, and the ruins are put at the back."
"Understood."
As soon as the order was given, the entire satellite screen flashed.
Dean Zhou rushed towards the screen.
"The screen is disturbed!"
Around the ancient city, a translucent barrier rises from the bottom of the city wall.
The four city gates in the east, south, west and north light up white in sequence.
The light spread along the city wall and finally closed with a bang at high altitude.
The moment the barrier took shape, all satellite images turned into snowflakes.
The footage returned by the high-altitude reconnaissance plane was wiped out.
"Switch to infrared!"
"Invalid!"
"Where's the mental band?"
"It's just clutter, you can't get through it!"
The main control room constantly changes detection methods, and the snowflakes covering the screen remain motionless.
Han Zhenyue issued the order.
"Put a drone in and approach from the north gate."
A special drone broke away from the transport vehicle and flew close to the ground, approaching the ancient city.
five kilometers.
Three kilometers.
One kilometer.
The barrier is unresponsive.
The drone hovered a hundred meters outside the city.
Just as the correspondent was about to report, all the indicators on the control panel turned blue.
"Minister, control authority is lost!"
"Disconnect the remote link and enable local return."
"The return procedure has been overwritten!"
In the picture, the drone slowed down on its own, retracted its rotors, and landed on the stone platform outside the north gate.
After landing, it simply turned off the weapon safety.
The entire main control room was completely silent.
Dean Zhou calls up the structure diagram of the drone.
"This drone is equipped with a mind control module, used to recognize Martial Warrior telekinesis commands."
"The ancient city did not destroy it."
"It takes over the control module."
Qin Zhan The eyebrows knit together.
"What about ordinary machinery and equipment?"
"Not tested yet."
"No need to try it yet."
Dean Zhou adjusted his glasses.
"Judging from the performance just now, any device equipped with mental recognition, telekinesis assistance, and consciousness connection modules is at risk of being taken over by the ancient city."
"Including Tactical Terminal, smart armor, and unmanned combat platform."
Han Zhenyue Order immediately.
"Southern Frontier Ancient City is tentatively designated as a national relic, with the highest mission level."
"All participants will be settled based on their actual contributions. Whoever cracks the barrier will get the corresponding contribution. Whoever deals with internal threats will get the spoils first."
"Items involving Great Xia strategic technology will be purchased by the state at a 200% increase in market price."
"Raven Association provided clues to the stone gate and coordinates, which will be included in the early contribution."
"Li Zhengyang, as the person who opened the door, is listed as the first authority explorer."
At the same time.
Southern Frontier border, in a completely enclosed underground stone hall.
On the altar in the center, a domino glowed red.
A hand covered with tattoos reached out and grabbed it.
Two lines of ancient characters appeared on the surface of the domino, and then twisted into the universal characters Demon-Human.
[Remote authentication completed]
[Deputy authority holder: Helian Cheng]
In the stone hall, several Red-Bone Demon-Humans were kneeling on the ground.
Helian Cheng stared at the dominoes and reached out to push open the palace door that had been covered in dust for who knows how many years.
"Notify the clan."
"The tower is open."
