After the Wang Clan's special forces got ashore, they were not in a hurry to leave. In the darkness of the night, they calmly loaded the corpses of the patrolling soldiers into the equipment boxes.
Then they sank to the bottom of East Lake along with all the diving equipment.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would probably be a very, very long time before anyone discovered what had happened at East Lake tonight.
In fact, even the Zhou Clan was so busy dealing with the chaos that they did not know such a behemoth had been raised at the bottom of East Lake in Stronghold 73 due to the cave-in.
The supernatural being's flesh and blood buried at the bottom of the lake had become the cause of everything and had a far-reaching impact.
The special forces got into their vehicles and set off again. However, they did not continue to the southern front lines as planned. Instead, they returned to the north with the highest-level travel documents. No one stopped them, nor did anyone notice anything unusual about them.
Nanosoldiers were a very unfamiliar term in the Central Plains. To many people, nanomachines had become the exclusive property of the Kyung Clan.
However, only a few people knew that ever since the secret research base in the Southwest was destroyed, the Kyung Clan's control over the nanomachines had been plundered.
Now that the Kyung Clan had completely stopped producing nanomachines, Qing Zhen was also starting to appear and disappear mysteriously.
At the same time, an elite unit suddenly set off from the Central Plains. They crossed the Southwest Forest and arrived near the Southwestern Jing Mountains.
Along the way, they passed by Mt. Meihua, Jigong Ridge, and Mt. Xuanhan. They traveled through the mountain ranges from beginning to end and did not take the main roads.
Just like the special forces unit that appeared at East Lake, they were carrying sophisticated weapons and detection equipment. All of this equipment was packed in metal boxes as they advanced.
Unlike the special forces unit, this unit carried more individual heavy firepower weapons.
If the average unit had to transport such heavy equipment by manpower, they would probably have died of exhaustion in the mountains. However, when they arrived at the Jing Mountains, they did not look particularly tired. It was as though all of them were supernatural beings.
There used to be roads in the Jing Mountains. At the very least, when Ren Xiaosu led Yang Xiaojin and the others into the mountains, there were still ruts on the mountain roads.
Earlier, there were even caravans passing through the Jing Mountains.
But now, the Jing Mountains had been abandoned for too long. There were only dense weeds left on the ground, and all traces of human activity had been mercilessly swallowed up by nature.
At this moment, a huge crevice could still be seen in the Jing Mountains like a canyon.
During the earthquake in the Jing Mountains, the Earth's crust was pushed up and lifted in just an hour. The huge crack and ravine were like a knife cutting through a cake as it cut through Stronghold 113 and Stronghold 112 together.
Now that the elite troops had arrived, they could easily imagine how disastrous the surrounding areas had been during the earthquake in the Jing Mountains just by taking a glance at the area.
Normally, when a troop was marching, there would always be a few words of idle chatter. Only when the commanding officer announced to maintain communications silence would everyone shut up.
It was not that the discipline of ordinary troops was not strong. This was human nature. Before going on a high-intensity mission, the soldiers also needed to talk to ease their emotions.
However, this unit was different. No one spoke throughout the entire process. It was as if they didn't need to communicate.
When they were about to reach the entrance of the Jing Mountains, the Narrow Sky was still the same as before. It was just that there were more gravel piled up on the narrow road.
The elite troops stood still in silence. Everyone stared at the words' Do Not Enter Alive 'on the stone wall. They did not move for a long time.
After ten minutes, two soldiers put down the box they were carrying and took out ten black cylinders. They unscrewed the seals of the cylinders and poured the silver metal liquid on the ground.
The silver metal liquid flowed like a stream, and then quickly divided into dozens of streams, spreading along the smooth stone wall!
Dense squeaking sounds rang out. The silver metal liquid seemed to have startled the face bugs that were hibernating on the stone wall.
Back then, due to the earthquake, the face bugs had left the Jing Mountains to hunt for food in Stronghold 113. But by the time the Kyung Clan troops went to the stronghold to investigate, the face bugs had already disappeared. No one knew where they had gone.
However, he never expected that the face bugs would return to the Jing Mountains and return to their lair.
At this moment, the face bugs were extremely ferocious, but they instinctively began to avoid the silver metal liquid that was rapidly approaching them.
But before they could figure out what it was, the silver metal liquid spread out like stars and seeped into the bodies of all the face bugs.
In just half an hour, all of the face bugs in the Nation's Line of Sky had fallen into a state of stillness.
Only then did the elite troops pick up their equipment and continue deeper into the Jing Mountains.
Back when Ren Xiaosu and the others passed through this Nation's Line of Sky, they almost died. More than half of the private troops were wiped out.
This time, the face bugs did not attack humans at all. They were as docile as pets.
When the elite troops passed through the Nation's Line of Sky, they could still see the human skeletons left in the canyon. However, they did not stop and continued moving forward expressionlessly.
In the hinterland of the Jing Mountains, the ruins of the city that had been searched by the Kyung Clan had completely collapsed during the earthquake. Some of the signs of shops from before The Cataclysm could still be seen here, but now, they were all in ruins.
The ruins of the city were like a huge graveyard where the human civilization of the past was buried.
The commander of the elite troops took out his military binoculars and looked at the huge crater in the distance. The soldiers beside him carried dozens of boxes and started advancing quickly in the direction of the volcano.
When they reached a distance of one kilometer from the crater, they started setting up detection equipment and connecting it to a laptop. Every soldier's movements were as precise as a machine's as they methodically carried out their respective tasks.
Among the 500-strong troops, 30 soldiers were in charge of the equipment, while the rest of the soldiers carried the remaining unopened boxes and quickly spread out in all directions. They were all carrying weapons.
A soldier carried a trumpet-shaped detector and aimed it at the mountainside of the volcano. This time, they did not have to wait too long. The ripples on the computer screen quickly entered a state of violent undulation.
"Found it. There's an error in the intelligence. There's more than one unknown lifeform in the crater."
"Scan again."
"Confirmed. Number of unknown lifeforms: 2."
"Prepare for battle."
"Fighting Order A1A2 entering combat mode. Activating nanomachines."
"Nanomachines in the silencer preparing to connect."
"Fighting Order B1B2 entering a state of martial law. Outsiders are prohibited from entering the battlefield."
"Ready."
"Prepare the mortars. Lure them out."
