Although Twilight Border has the word "twilight" in its name, it actually has nothing to do with dusk. Of course, from a geographical point of view, it is very clear, because Twilight Border is located in... the Arctic Circle.
"So you knew something was wrong with the Pope here?"
Sitting on the chair in the command room, Fang Zheng stared helplessly at the Golden Dragon girl. With Fang Zheng's current identity and power, he certainly didn't need to pretend to be an adventurer or something and come to the Northern Adventure Group to show off. He just waved his hand and led half of the fleet straight to the Dusk Border.
"I have to make it clear in advance that I knew the Pope was here, but I didn't know anything happened to him."
Sister Jinlong, on the other hand, completely distanced herself from the matter.
"Look, the Pope is also a human being. All mortals have emotions. Maybe the Pope is here to meet his lover. I would be so embarrassed if I came here and caught them having an affair."
Having said this, Sister Jinlong looked very righteous. At the end, she looked out the window at the dark sky and the heavy snow flying in the wind.
"Besides, it's too cold here."
I think the latter is the most important reason.
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Forget it, I won't talk to you about this now. Can you find where the Pope is?"
"I don't know. I can only feel that he should be in this area, but there was no response when I used telepathy. Maybe he is really dead."
"You seem very calm."
Seeing that Jinlong looked as if it had nothing to do with her, Fang Zheng was quite curious.
"You have been with this Pope for many years, don't you have feelings for him?"
"Of course there are, but the life of a mortal is short. For me, it doesn't matter whether I die in ten years or a hundred years. Not to mention that I once served a pope who starved to death in the desert because he got lost."
Speaking of this, Sister Jinlong curled her lips.
"Mortals die in all sorts of strange ways. I've long since given up caring about these mundane matters."
“…”
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was speechless. Well, he had forgotten that even though this golden dragon girl was acting silly and cute at the moment, she was still an immortal who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years... Forget it, there was no point in arguing with her about this.
"Nymph, start the life search and have Neptune place a probe. Iona, pay attention to the Chaos army at the Twilight Frontier and report any abnormalities immediately."
Fang Zheng gave the order with ease, and the girls immediately took action. Nymph stretched out her hand and waved it forward. Soon, a huge 3D holographic map appeared in front of everyone. However, looking at the map in front of him, Fang Zheng was surprised.
They saw that under the ice field in front of them, there was a huge underground city!
“There’s still civilization here?”
"The Twilight Frontier was once the center of the battle between Order and Chaos. It's not surprising that similar ruins are everywhere."
Compared to Fang Zheng's surprise, Jin Long looked as if she was used to it and even yawned.
"So what lives in there?"
Fang Zheng stared at the small red dots on the map. These were all signs of life, and there were hundreds or even thousands of them!
"I don't know, but I'm sure it's not a good thing."
"Oh? Why?"
"Because this is the Twilight Frontier!"
Sister Jinlong spread out her hands, looking as if it was a matter of course.
"Look at the weather here, does it look habitable? And let's not talk about the weather, the power of chaos here is also quite strong. If it weren't for your warship, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get here. Even I don't dare to use my body to fight against the power of chaos outside, so what creature of order can resist it?"
Does this mean that the radiation level is too high for normal life to survive?
Although that's what the Golden Dragon girl said, Fang Zheng didn't believe it completely. After all, he remembered that the Goddess of Order once said that the creatures here originally hid underground to avoid the power of chaos... But no matter what, since the Pope is here, he has to find him.
Unfortunately, life reactions cannot represent individuals. Logically speaking, Fang Zheng should personally step in to save the Pope from the dire situation. However, for Fang Zheng, running around like a headless fly in such a large underground city is not a good choice, not to mention... if magic can't solve it, doesn't science still have the solution?
"Iona!"
"yes!"
"Activate the crystal laser cannon, aim at a 45-degree angle, and punch a passage to the underground city for me, then send the aliens down to conduct reconnaissance and search!"
"yes!"
See, this is the right approach in the scientific age.
“Buzz…”
Soon, the turret on Iona's side began to rotate and aimed at the ground in front of her. The next moment, a flash of light, like a thunderbolt, suddenly shot out and hit the ice and snow ground. Under the bombardment of the scorching high-temperature beam, the originally solid snowfield was immediately pierced through like tofu, leaving a big hole. Then Iona's belly was seen to open a hole, and dozens of insect eggs whizzed down from the sky and shattered on the snowfield. Then, one after another, aliens quickly drilled out and drilled into the underground hole like ghosts.
"Um……"
Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Noticing Fang Zheng's reaction, Angel Nymph asked curiously, while Fang Zheng scratched his head.
"I always feel like this scene seems a little familiar..."
Never mind, it shouldn’t be a big deal.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and stopped caring. Instead, he closed his eyes and connected his will with the aliens through the Zerg network. Soon, deep and dark scenes appeared in front of him.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Fang Zheng chose to dig a hole far away from the underground city and those life forms, so the arrival of the aliens did not attract the attention of those life forms. Under the guidance of Fang Zheng's swarm network, the aliens did not spend too much effort to pass through the deep and dark tunnel and arrived at the underground city.
Although Sister Jinlong believed that this underground city was an abandoned relic, Fang Zheng only took a glance and immediately determined that this underground city was not abandoned. In fact, from the blazing fire on the city wall and the figure on the watchtower, it can be seen that this underground city is not abandoned. On the contrary, it is still in use.
But... who lives here?
Go and take a look.
Fang Zheng quickly gave the order, and the aliens took quick action. They climbed lightly on the ceiling, hid in the dark shadows, and approached the human figures silently.
Obviously, these figures did not notice the existence of the aliens. They just stood there, motionless. Not long after, the alien controlled by Fang Zheng quietly came to their heads. At this time, with the help of the firelight, Fang Zheng also saw the true faces of these guys.
However, after seeing the appearance of these guys clearly, Fang Zheng was really shocked!
