The high terrain around Kuimen Taishan Temple was originally a mountainous terrain. The overflowing river water literally submerged one island after another in the lake. The stormy waves continued to rise and engulf the remaining land area. It was foreseeable that

In a while, this place will become the same vast ocean land as it was millions of years ago.

The wings of the aircraft cut through the violent storm in the black clouds, and a huge shadow landed in the thunder, like some kind of beast carrying wind and thunder to attack the earth. Only Sleipnir's pilots had the courage to fly in such harsh weather conditions.

It landed on a favorable terrain. The dark take-off and landing wheels were wet with rain and refracted the lightning. At the moment it touched the ground, the entire fuselage shook violently, just like a precursor to falling apart.

Before the speed has completely slowed down, the island that serves as the runway is about to see the cliff at the end and the roaring waves that hit the cliff. At a thrilling moment, Sleipnir's engine is fully turned on in reverse, and the flames evaporate a large amount of rainwater to form steam.

The take-off and landing wheels made of special materials that are resistant to high temperatures made a sharp friction sound, leaving two dark tracks in the heavy rain. They did not stop until they finally hit a stone and fell into the river under the cliff.

.

Sleipnir's engine stalled, the door opened, and the emergency air cushion popped up. A black figure flew out of the cabin first, landed on the air cushion, bounced several times, and landed on the ground.

Then, Lin Nian's figure rushed out from behind the cabin and jumped down, leaping over the entire emergency staircase. He didn't even bend his knees to cushion the landing. He stepped on the bronze box that was about to fly out, and wrapped himself in a black raincoat around the building.

An island surrounded by river water.

For some reason, Lu Mingfei, who was watching this scene from the porthole, always wanted to put kaomoji words similar to "バァン" around Lin Nian, who was so coquettish in the pouring rain. It seemed that this way he would have the right taste...

…

"It's safe. No trace of the target has been found." After a few seconds of quiet observation, Lin Nian raised his hand and pressed the wireless headset beside his ear and said.

Then Chu Zihang, Caesar and others, wearing black raincoats from the Executive Department, appeared in the cabin. Everyone jumped down with their hands held in a very standard manner. After landing, they were still tense and alert to the surrounding heavy rain and rain.

Raging waves.

The original place of beauty in Kuimen has now completely turned into a terrace to watch the sea. Standing on this land that was originally a mountain but has become an island, surrounded by black floods that are about to be submerged, it feels quite unique.

The illusion that you are not inland but alone on the stormy Caribbean Sea.

Manstein was the last one to jump out of the cabin. After landing, he quickly walked to the center of the already formed tactical team. "We still can't contact the 'orthodox' people. The radio seems to have been affected by the storm and it is difficult to transmit the signal."

"

"Is there a problem with the signal base station?" Susie took out the waterproof mobile phone issued by the executive department and saw that the signal was zero.

"It's not a problem with the signal base station. Even satellite phones can't receive communications. The signal in the entire area here is blocked. I think everyone can guess the reason." Lin Nian mentioned the seven deadly sins and walked towards it based on his feelings.

One side of the cliff.

"'Field'?" Chu Zihang was no stranger to this familiar scene. On another rainy night in his memory, they were also in the same predicament of being isolated from the world. No signals or news could be sent out from that elevated road.

, in this kind of 'field', or unique 'space', the entire block area is like an isolated island in the sea.

"Can I contact the principal?" Lin Nian looked at Manstein and asked.

"We contacted him half an hour ago. Until we arrived in the Kuimen area, nothing unusual happened at the college." Manstein nodded.

The 'Bronze Project' has brought the true elites of the academy to the Yangtze River. The academy headquarters is bound to be empty of military strength. Hilbert Jean Angers, the veteran 'S', must take charge of the headquarters to avoid the last incident happening again when everyone leaves.

The situation of external invasion. What's more, there is a considerable treasure such as Constantine's 'Dragon Bone' hidden in the academy. Everyone will covet the legacy left by the Dragon King and dream of relying on the dragon bone to become the second newcomer to sit on the throne.

king.

"What should we do now? This place is still some distance away from the waters of Baidi City, and we still lack diving equipment and a lot of preparation work." Nono asked.

"It's impossible for the plane to fly to the target water area for skydiving in this kind of weather. Who knows where people will be blown as soon as the umbrella is opened." Manstein raised his head, his face was wet with rain, and his eyes were full of irritation.

and worries.

"Look over there." Chu Zihang suddenly said.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw Lin Nian standing on the edge of the cliff. Of course, Chu Zihang's intention was not for them to look at Lin Nian, but to see where Lin Nian had been looking.

The dazzling navigation lights left traces on the rolling river like a sharp sword that split the darkness, heading straight towards them. It was a white landing ship with a displacement of a thousand tons, in the surging Yangtze River.

The engine was running at full speed, and the sound of the whistle cut through the roar of the hurricane like a trumpet.

"'Orthodox' people. Flares."

Lin Nian did not look back. He reached back, took the signal gun handed by Manstein and fired it into the sky. The fiery red signal bomb flew up into the sky crookedly, and was blown by the hurricane.

Light.

The landing craft followed the spot where the signal flare was launched, circled around the land where Sleipnir landed, and found a place to land before anchoring. A figure in a raincoat jumped out of the landing craft, and there seemed to be a figure behind him.

Carrying a long-handled object similar to a scabbard on his back, he quickly walked towards Lin Nian and others who were also rushing here.

The two sides stopped in unison at a distance of ten meters, observing each other only by the navigation lights of the landing craft on the shore and the red residual light of the signal strip.

"A member of the secret party?" The person who came off the landing craft was the first to speak. The strong wind and heavy rain could not suppress this man's powerful voice.

"Orthodox people?" Lin Nian asked as he walked out of the team. He looked past the man on the opposite side and looked at the loaded figure on the landing craft.

"What you have in your hand," the man said in a low voice, "can you take a look at it?"

Lin Nian dropped the bronze box in his hand without any hesitation in the middle area between the man and him. At this distance, no matter who made the first move, Lin Nian would definitely be able to pull out the knife before the other person.

The man glanced at the Seven Deadly Sins sword box on the ground. After carefully observing the lines and dense dragon inscriptions on it, he determined the origin of this thing. He also reached behind his back and took out the scabbard.

The jade sword is complete with four treasures and is made of dark wood, but the Han Bafang that should be stored in the scabbard is missing.

Lin Nian recognized the origin of this noble scabbard with just one glance. At the same time, he also believed most of the opponent's identity. He no longer hesitated and walked forward to mention the seven deadly sins on the ground. Caesar behind him quickly followed suit.

.

"I'm sorry that I need to confirm my identity like this." During the formal meeting, the man who showed his scabbard reached out to Lin Nian, who was the first to arrive, "Zhou family, Zhou Zheng."

"Kassel Academy, Lin Nian."

The two hands touched each other.

"Are you Lin Nian? The secret party's 'S'-level hybrid?" Zhou Zheng suddenly stared at Lin Nian, his eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he was suppressing his emotions, not wanting to have too big expression fluctuations in front of so many people.

.

"You know me?"

"I guess very few people don't know about you." Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "I thought you were older."

Lin Nian glanced at the man's face and felt that the "sword eyebrows and heart" and "righteousness and awe-inspiring" that Gu Long Jinyong often used were probably this look. He was as handsome as a good horse. The face of a thirty-four-year-old mature and handsome man was simply

It is a big killer for young girls.

However, what he valued more was not the man's appearance, but the aura on his body. The heavy rain obviously couldn't suppress the man's iron-blooded and solemn feeling. He could see obvious traces of the military, which was similar to his first.

The Li Huoyue whom I met once looked similar, but only similar. There was an essential difference between the two. Lin Nian couldn't tell what the specific difference was at the moment.

"Have we met?" Zhou Zheng asked, looking at Lin Nian up and down.

Lin Nian paused and glanced at Zhou Zheng, "I don't think now is the time to strike up a conversation."

"No, I just think it's my imagination that you are a little familiar." Zhou Zheng shook his head.

The Zhou family has never had much contact with the Secret Party. Although the Secret Party's 'S' class is famous, he has never met a real person. Maybe this sense of familiarity is really his illusion.

"The Zhou family? Is it one of the orthodox branch families?" Manstein in the team looked at Zhou Zheng and asked.

Before coming here, Manstein had taken tutoring lessons on the branches of mixed-race forces in China. The 'orthodox' seemed to exist in the form of a family, and in a way, it was like the structure of a secret party, with the headquarters as the origin and outwards.

Others have been developed, such as the Japanese branch.

On the 'orthodox' side, there is a 'main family', which then continues to develop other 'branch families' with other surnames. However, the power of these 'branch families' does not extend to all corners of the world on a large scale.

Choosing to stick to local boundaries.

"No, I am not an orthodox person. It may be a bit troublesome to explain in detail, but this time we have a cooperative relationship with the orthodox. Friends of the secret party, please get on the ship first. We don't have much time to waste here. The situation on the front line

Not optimistic." After Zhou Zheng gave a brief explanation, he quickly turned around and walked towards the docking ship without any delay.

Lin Nian glanced at Manstein and the others, nodded, indicating that this man could be trusted for the time being, and strode onto the landing craft.

After everyone boarded the boat, they lowered the anchor and started to turn around. Sleipnir on the island also started the engine and started turning to prepare for takeoff. The modified engine was prepared for this extreme environment. Before taking off, the pilot was driving

The cabin crew gave a thumbs up to the landing craft on the river, which probably meant wishing everyone good luck.

The engine of the landing craft roared forward and cut through the violent river waves. The deck was lined with fully armed combatants on both sides. Lin Nian and others followed Zhou Zheng into the cabin to take shelter from the rain. In the process, Manstein directly asked the last question

The question of concern is, "What is the specific situation on the front line where the orthodox are responsible now?"

"Not too optimistic or too optimistic is a good word." Zhou Zheng said in a deep voice, "You should have received the video recording of the first contact with the battle, right?"

"You lost miserably." Caesar nodded.

"The key figures on the orthodox side could not stop the Dragon King. The thermal weapons prepared by Jiang Xinzhou were blocked by the Dragon King's domain. You should really see the scene where dozens of rounds of honeycomb missile salvos were ineffective. I doubt the anti-ship missiles

It may not necessarily have an effect on him." Zhou Zheng turned to look at Lin Nian, "I heard that you successfully defeated the other Dragon King 'Constantine'. If they all control the same authority, then the one we met

You must have encountered it before, how did you defeat this kind of monster?"

"Alchemy weapons, the Dragon King's Word Spirit can control metals and flames, but it cannot affect metals killed by alchemy." Caesar said.

"No wonder" Zhou Zheng whispered as if he wanted to understand something.

"Where is the Dragon King now?" Chu Zihang asked.

"After defeating our defense line, he did not choose to kill us all. Instead, he dived directly and was suspected to have entered the Baidi City hidden under the rock formations a hundred meters underwater." Zhou Zheng said, "Then the heavy rain started.

We were originally preparing to mobilize the unused weapons on Jiangxin Continent for counterattack, but now the entire Jiangxin Continent has been flooded, and all the hidden military facilities on Jiangxin Continent and on the mountain gorges on both sides have been scrapped, and all the orthodox and meticulous preparations have come to nothing."

"This rainstorm came at the perfect time. Of course, I have never doubted that all this has something to do with the Dragon King." Zhou Zheng looked at the storm outside the porthole and whispered, "A heavy rain has completely wiped out several months of rain.
