In jiannan Village, in what used to be an Activity Center for the elderly.
Two figures, one big and one small, were flipping through paper files.
Ever since the officials decided to develop the snowfield here, the entire jiannan Village had been bought over by them. The villagers of jiannan Village had also been properly settled in other places. It was said that after they moved, they were all very rich âŚ
The old peopleâs Activity Center was now the place where the military camp kept the files.
âThe snowfield dimensional space in jiannan Village appeared on June 23rd, 1999. The wasteland reclaimers entered it on the same day to investigate. The country decided to develop it on August 7th of the same year and set up a social training point project in the snowfield of jiannan Village.â
Jiang Xiao flipped through the file and said,ââIt only says that team 037 and team 042 from the wasteland reclaimers âCorps are here to explore this snowfield together. It doesnât say the names of the members who explored the snowfield, not even their numbers.â
In the distance, second last leaned against the bookshelf and sent the numbers on her mobile phone silently.ââThatâs enough,âhe said.
Jiang Xiao didnât seem to be in a good mental state and looked extremely tired. He put down the documents and asked,ââHow are things on your side?â
Second last put her mobile phone away and picked up a stack of documents. Flipping through them, she said,ââFrom 1999 to 2016, a total of 31 people went missing from the snowfield training ground in jiannan Village. Among them, 29 were social trainees and 2 were from The Guardian Legion.â
âWhy are there so few?â Jiang Xiao asked.
âŚ
Immediately, Jiang Xiao felt that he had said something wrong and explained,ââI mean, the last time the snowfield was invaded by mercenaries, there were heavy casualties.â
Second last knew Jiang Xiaoâs character and, of course, knew that he wouldnât take the lives of his soldiers as a joke. She didnât misunderstand Jiang Xiao either. She then explained,ââWhether it was the Guardians or the guardians of the night, they fought the enemy in small teams. Until the end of the battle, none of the teams were completely annihilated. So, the deaths of the soldiers can be confirmed by their comrades, and most of the soldiers âbodies have been recovered.â
Second last continued,âI said âmissingâ just now. 31 people missing, they disappeared into thin air. We are looking for the person who built the wooden house in the upper dimension, not the souls of the dead. â
Jiang Xiao nodded. Since it was a dimensional space, the number of deaths would definitely not be low, even in the low-level snowfield. However, because of the special way of organizing teams promoted by the country, the death of most of the trainees could be confirmed.
Jiang Xiao thought to himself for a long while. In that case, those social practitioners should have been eaten by the White ghouls, or even the entire team might have been annihilated. That was why they had âdisappearedâ.
The soldiers were powerful, so there was no reason for them to disappear.
Jiang Xiao asked,âsince 1999, has there always been a rule that only awakened ones below the Galaxy can enter?â
Second last chimed in,âthe nation has always had such a requirement for low-level experience points.â
Jiang Xiao said,âin that case, we donât have to consider the social practitioners. Theyâre in the Nebula stage and the Stardust stage.â
Second last looked away from the file and turned to look at Jiang Xiao.ââContinue.â
Jiang Xiao rubbed his temples and said,âI can be very responsible and say that the White ghouls I met in the upper snowfield were at least of the gold quality. They reminded me of the ape Ghoul King in the Arsenal.â Furthermore, this white Ghoul is not the only one. This is their normal level of strength. â
Second last nodded and said,ââSo, you donât think that there will be any social awakened in the Stardust stage or Nebula stage who can survive in the hands of white ghouls of that level.â
Jiang Xiao said,âitâs really difficult. Iâve experienced everything myself. I know what itâs like to be chased by white ghouls.â
From another point of view, Jiang Xiao confirmed that there was no need to consider the social trainees. They just had to focus their attention on the two powerful soldiers.
Second last expressed assent and temporarily agreed with Jiang Xiaoâs speculation. She picked up the information and flipped through it before saying,â
âGuardian soldier, name: Hu Wei, male, han, Height: 184 cm, Age: 22 when he went missing, time of disappearance: January 18,2011, out on patrol and has not returned.â
âGuardian soldier, name canglan, female, han, Height 176cm, age 21 when missing, time of disappearance January 18th, 2011, out on patrol and has not returned.â
Second last frowned and said softly.âTheyâre out on patrol together âŚ.
Bzzzz ⌠Whoosh âŚ
Second last took out her mobile phone from her pocket, which was a clamshell black mobile phone. She did not reply and simply turned it on and placed it beside her ear.
A few seconds later, second last hung up the phone, turned around, and put the information back into the file.ââThree people are known to be missing, but they are not recorded. One is a member of the wasteland reclaimers, one is a member of the guardians of the night, and one is an invader. â
Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned and looked at second last curiously.
Second last said,ânight watchman: Zhang songfu, night watchman No. 386, male, Han Chinese, Height 181cm, age 26 when he went missing. Time of disappearance: September 2015. When the mercenaries invaded the snowfield, they were stationed in a small space-time Tunnel in the Northwest of the snowfield. When they were fighting with a mercenary invader, they both entered the space-time Tunnel by mistake. â
Jiang Xiaoâs eyes lit up because the information was very valuable.
The other missing people were indeed missing, but this Zhang songfu had clearly entered the upper dimension with an intruder!
âOther than this intruder, there might be other intruders who have entered the upper dimension.â Second last said,âwhen we stopped them in the holy ground, the scene was very chaotic.â
Jiang Xiao didnât comment. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that no mercenary had escaped from second last and entered the upper dimension.
Besides, they were not here to enter the upper dimension. The mercenaries were here to destroy the holy ground.
Second last continued,âpioneer * He Yun, pioneer No. 042001, male, Manchurians, height 177 cm, age ⌠Age at the time of disappearance: 46, time of disappearance: August 1999. â
He Yun?
Why does this name sound so familiar?
He zeyun ⌠Oh, right, itâs Xia Yanâs mother. The two of them are completely unrelated âŚ
Jiang Xiao rubbed his temples. He was not in a good mental state and his thoughts were a little chaotic.
He hoped that the person who built the wooden house was not the pioneer.
From 1999 to 2016? A whole 17 years?
He had lived alone in the snowfield for 17 years? Drinking snow water and eating white Ghoul meat every day?
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said,âI hope itâs Zhang songfu, The guardian of the night, or the two soldiers of the Guardians.â If itâs the wasteland reclaimer, He Yun, then his fate is too miserable. â
Second last nodded silently and said,ââRest well. Weâll try again and see if we can teleport to that Snow Mountain again.â
Jiang Xiao took a deep breath. The country forbade entry into the upper dimension.
It wasnât that the officials didnât want to save them, but the key was that the teleportation between dimensions was too strange. It was simply impossible to figure it out. No matter how many people went, they would all get lost. This wasnât a problem of saving them or not, but a problem of completely sending them to their deaths.
To put it bluntly, it was an unnecessary sacrifice.
It had been three days since Jiang Xiao last saw the wooden house. Ever since he brought back this piece of information, second last suggested that he continue to collect more information.
Dreams were beautiful, but reality was cruel.
Every time Jiang Xiao entered the upper dimensional snowfield, he would be teleported to a different place.
To Jiang Xiaoâs horror, he couldnât escape the fate of being torn apart by the White ghouls every time.
The tragic deaths time and time again made Jiang Xiao suffer in pain and torture. It was an extremely terrifying situation.
The only thing that made Jiang Xiao feel fortunate was that the White ghouls were all very violent and lethal. Almost all of them were killed in one shot and would not give Jiang Xiao any time to struggle on whilst at deathâs door. They also wouldnât let him Taste the feeling of dying bit by bit.
However, even so, Jiang Xiao had been in a terrible state recently, which was also the reason why the two of them came to the senior citizens âActivity Center.
Although Jiang Xiao was eloquent, he was actually very tired now and was riddled with holes, both physically and mentally.
Sleeping couldnât heal his heart that was riddled with holes. Jiang Xiao decided to give himself some milk after he got into bed.
For the sake of his comrades who might still be alive, Jiang Xiao desperately searched for them and âdiedâ.
Second last saw everything and was filled with admiration and respect.
In the time she spent with him, she rejoiced again and again that she had made the right choice. What was even more terrifying was that he had used his character and practical actions to make her respect him again and again.
If second last had a score table in her heart, Jiang Xiaoâs score would have already overflowed.
For the sake of a person whom he had never met and whose identity he did not even know, Jiang Xiao would give it his all just because the other party might be a Chinese or a Chinese soldier.
Jiang Xiao felt ashamed because he was not as great as second last thought.
Jiang Xiao had only done what he could. He had only used the bait to search. Perhaps he was a little desperate, but he would never be in any life-threatening danger.
However, there are many things in this world that you canât succeed in just by working hard.
Jiang Xiao knew how much weaker the White ghouls from the upper dimension would be when they landed.
Jiang Xiao also discovered that the snowfield in the previous dimension was probably hundreds of times larger than the snowfield in the lower dimension!
Back when they were in the snow Mountain region in the Northwest Battlefront, Jiang Xiaoâs team could destroy a dimensional space in almost two days on average with the help of the mountain breaking Legion. This proved the speed at which they were searching for the holy ground and the size of the dimensional space in the lower dimension!
In the upper layer of the snowfield, Jiang Xiao had searched for a long time, but the location of teleportation was different every time. However, he couldnât even see the shadow of the holy ground.
Donât talk about him,
If the person who built the wooden house was really Zhang songfu, the night watchman who had entered by mistake in September last year, it was August 2016, which meant that he had nearly a year to search for the passage to the lower dimensions.
In the end, the other party still did not come out!
What did this mean? The upper dimensionâs snowfield might be so large that it was beyond human imagination!
A Star Warrior, a yearâs journey on foot, identified a direction, and really couldnât find the transmission channel down?
Jiang Xiao didnât think so.
And this was only Zhang songfu, who had gone missing recently. If it was Hu Wei and canglan, who had gone missing in 2011, would they not be able to find them in five years?
Of course, this was all assuming that the other party wanted to return to Earth.
If the other party liked to live in seclusion, like winter, and like white ghouls, Jiang Xiao wouldnât be able to do anything about it âŚ
After all, everyone had their own ambitions.
Jiang Xiao could only wish her a long life and a lonely life.
Jiang Xiao looked up at second last and said,âitâs the last few days. I canât find her. Itâs time for me to leave. Iâve had enough of the snowfield. I should go and see the outside world.â
Second last came to Jiang Xiaoâs side and said in a hoarse voice that was a little gentle,ââYouâve already done very well. You donât have to force yourself. â
Jiang Xiao forced a smile and said,âIâm really curious. What kind of person would live there?â
Second last did not answer and instead said,âIâll do my best to help you inject white Ghoul witch star beads. If your bait can reach diamond-grade, it might be even stronger and help you escape the fate of being killed by the White ghouls.â
Jiang Xiao shook his head and said,âto be honest, I donât think diamond bait will work. Iâm still far from it. In my current state, itâll be difficult for me to continue.â I think I need some peaceful days. â
