The Lost Land of Gold

The still air began to flow, Mu Sicheng looked at the ground uprooted a huge storm, sucking in all the dust around him, gritted his teeth and wanted to try to break through, but was controlled by Bai Liu's cold command in the headset: "Run, Mu Sicheng, your life value can't afford to carry Armand's skill damage. "

"You're our ace in the hole, run as fast as you can, and live until the end when I, the tactician, let you die, understand?"

"Got it!" Mu Sicheng nods, he takes one more look at the Hurricane, and with his teeth clenched he gives a middle finger, turns and flies away.

"Hoist him away, get us into the mines, don't let him and Georgia skill reset in the same map, and control Armand, that's your main goal for this one."

Mu Sicheng jumped down from the high building, narrowly dodging the hurricane that brushed past his legs, he wiped the blood from his mouth from the shock of the fall, and smiled a little evilly, "Piece of cake."

The hurricane covered the sky, and the metal chains hidden inside were wrapped tightly in layers, chasing after Mu Sicheng, who was running wildly along the way.

Liu Jiayi, who was rushing at full speed, suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction, his lips pursed, "There's a loud noise in that direction, it's ......"

"It's Mu Sicheng." Bai Liu answered calmly, "He lured away the opponent's main attacker Armand, our first head-to-head duel with Golden Dawn has already begun, the next one is a war of attrition, we need to hurry up."

"That should be mine 13 up ahead." Mu Ke glanced at the picture, and looked up to Bai Liu, "Below the mine is Georgia's army, should we keep the same tactics as before?"

"Uh-huh." Bai Liu raised his eyes and scanned everyone in a circle, "Georgia is a strong assist, and this is a team that works very closely as a group, so our basic tactic is to fight on separate sides, that is to say, to drag one by one, everyone try to drag a team member, to pull them away from Georgia, so Georgia can't assist them, and to reduce the other team's advantage."

"The problem with this tactic though." Tang Er hit frowned, "If it's just one drag, it'll be a total stalemate, then both sides will want to have a stalemate-breaking ace player in."

"I'm sure Captain Georgia is thinking the same thing I am." Bai Liu smiled slightly, "Only he's got his ace in Armand's pocket, and I've got mine in Mu Sicheng's."

"Next, let's see how well they do."

"Now." Bai Liu turned his head to the group of golden humanoid sculptures holding banners at the entrance to the mine, his tone calm, "Let us first enter the most valuable core of this Golden Land."

"Get on the mine train."

The mine train doesn't look like much, but it's still big enough to seat Bai Liu's entire team, and Tang Er hits the front of the line, pulling down the crossbar as the mine train surges forward.

Liu Jiayi surveyed the well-started mine car, and couldn't help but tsk twice: "What a decent man, this Georgia captain, didn't even destroy this mine car."

"If Bai Liu had arrived first, he'd have taken one mine car by himself, and the other he must have put a bunch of explosives underneath it to blow it up on the first wrench and send someone's whole team to heaven."

"Georgia is Wang Zi, it's normal to have a bit of aristocratic demeanor when it comes to competitions." Bai Liu innocently spread his hands, "An ordinary commoner like me who seeks value for money, of course I can only set up in all the places where I can win, ah, due to my birth, there's no way around it."

Liu Jiayi : "...... ==."

Why does this man always make underhanded tactics sound so unusual.

"But Georgia doesn't put his hands on the mine carts, probably partly out of the inertia of a decent person's mindset, and partly because he doesn't want to destroy this place." Bai Liu stroked his chin, "This is his homeland after all, every blade of grass, every tree, and every mine cart should be precious to him."

"More likely, of course."

Bai Liu said with a slight smile, "He thinks he's more likely to win us by letting us into the mines, a map he's more familiar with."

The mine car creaked and chugged, and after a few turns like a roller coaster, it finally entered the core of the big mine cave.

When entering this large mine, even Mu Ke, who has seen a lot of worldly experience, was stunned, Tang Er hit and Liu Jiayi directly froze, Bai Liu was rare to maintain composure, but could not help but exclaim, "What an unimaginable scale of the mine."

A mine cave close to the size of three or four large stadiums spanned the entire mountain, and the mountain was cut open from the very top, with a large eruption-like opening running from the top all the way through to the bottom, and light streamed in beams from the top into the mine, which was crisscrossed with dozens of rails, which weren't built on the mountain or some kind of surveillance foundation at all, but were hardened by steel cables that were suspended from the top of the mountain. up, so these tracks are suspended.

And on the four walls of the mine, there were many miners hanging in mid-air, wearing protective suits and working with chiseling implements in their hands.

Or more accurately, a gold sculpture in the style of a miner.

The miners seemed to be unaware that a plague that was about to turn everyone into gold was about to befall them, and they were still working ignorantly, some of them playfully talking to the miner next to him who was dangling into a position next to him, and some of them had food in their hands to eat, which was supposed to be his lunch but had long since been corrupted.

Miners of all kinds are suspended in mid-air, frozen in a moment of their lives, in the form of gold.

On the four walls of the cave, mottled under the black mining soil, everywhere is vaguely visible gold, not even ore, is directly gold, they can imagine ten years ago, here is still the country of gold, this is how a busy by the bustling a kind of labor scene - the miners from the top of the mountain hanging down, the whole day to mine and work, mine car In the suspension of the track repeatedly running back and forth, will be mined by the miners under the gold a trip to the gold issued by the Office, everyone's face is full of lighthearted smile.

Rendered by the celestial light falling from the mountaintop, these gold miner sculptures and the gold on the cave's jib refracted dazzling halo interlaced, magnificent.

"That would have been a very sudden turn of events." Mu Ke quickly returned, "These miners hadn't come down from their operations and were just hanging on like that being turned into gold."

"So are those statues at the entrance." Liu Jiayi frowned back, "They look like they're just here to protest Georgia's decision to turn the mine over to the Heresy Disposal Authority, right in front of the entrance to the mine, being turned into gold."

"But if it's some kind of mutation that turns people into gold in an instant ......" Bai Liu thought wistfully, "it doesn't make sense in the case of the animals there at the Gold Distribution Office, which were closed long after the Gold Distribution Office closed after it closed, lived in and slowly turned into gold."

"If it is some sort of heresy that turns creatures into gold, there should be another variable we don't know about the effect of this heresy on the creatures."

"Personally, I'm inclined to be the concentration." Bai Liu spreads his hands, "I initially speculated on the concentration of gold dust, the higher the concentration of gold dust, the faster it would turn the creature into a sculpture, but after entering the interior of the mine, that speculation doesn't really hold much water, as the concentration of gold dust here isn't really as high as it is outside."

"So it shouldn't be gold dust." Mu Ke muses, "Is it possible that it's some sort of other stone dust similar to gold dust?"

"Like some kind of heretical dust?"

"It's possible." Bai Liu looked down the track where the mine car had been traveling, "So something happened on the day of the protest that caused the dust from this heresy to spread, turning the people of this country into golden statues after inhaling it."

"It's kind of weird ......"

Bai Liu taps on his system panel and drops his eyes, "Still the same question as before, we should have arrived at the place with the highest concentration of heretics, my lungs and body are in obvious discomfort, but strangely enough, my life and spirit values are normal, and I don't show any drop."

"So how does this heresy affect people and turn these people into golden sculpted heretics, or monsters?"

"Want to try attacking the statues now?" Mu Ke inquires, "You can unlock the monster book, maybe there's an explanation on it."

"It's better to go out and attack again." Tang Er Fight, who was sitting at the very front of the mine cart, looked ahead with a sullen gaze, "There are just too many gold sculptures here, if we cause a chain reaction, we'll probably have a hard time escaping."

"And ......"

Tang Er paused for a moment, "I've been through many games, and I've often dealt with heretics in reality, I don't know if my senses are wrong, but I can't feel the aura of a heretic or a monster from the bodies of these golden sculptures."

"There's nothing offensive about these sculptures ......."

"Yes." Bai Liu dragged his jaw, thinking, "The monsters we've encountered in the game before have actively attacked us, same with the sculptures, and the mermaids in the town of Serenity would actively attack the hatching players, but the sculptures here, they do seem to be a little too peaceful towards the players."

Tang Er hit whispered a reminder, "But the Handling Bureau has also housed some less offensive heretics."

Bai Liu pondered briefly, "For the time being, there are not enough clues to jump to conclusions, let's go down the road first."

The wheels of the mine car grumbled and rolled, undulating through the treacherous mine cave, and the further in you went, the dimmer the light, the narrower the path, the greater the number of miners hanging from the cave walls, Tang Er hit turned on the flashlight he had recovered from the mine car, tapped it, and turned it on.

If it is outside that the big mining hole is needed to dig to see the gold, inside is in the gold jade chiseling gold nuggets down - around the hole jade is all golden, mining soil can not see anything, can only see the huge gold wall inside the interlacing of some hard rock patterns, these rocks support the whole mining hole.

"This is also ......" Liu Jiayi stared in disbelief, "It's too much, isn't it?"

"This level of gold mineralization has also lasted for a thousand years." Mu Ke lamented, "It's understandable why the people of the Ancient Loren Kingdom were in that state of mind."

"...... No wonder ......" Tang Er hit put his voice low, "The Third Bureau was built at Georgia's own expense, in order to expand to the sea, to guard a giant heresy under the sea, it cost a lot of money at the time, the financial side did not report it, saying that Georgia overbuilt, Georgia paid for it itself."

"Said it was given in gold."

"Georgia gave money very quickly, at that time Su Yang also heartbroken for a while, and I complained that the Heresy Treatment Bureau's financial card is too strict, obviously can be reported." Tang Er hit the language with a sigh, "the three bureaus are notoriously generous, basically can not go to the financial, Georgia will pay out of their own pockets, sometimes hundreds of millions of books he gave to report, before the Sunshine City thing the financial side did not fully out, Georgia knows, also paid to help advance a part of the money, Su Yang is very grateful to him. Su Yang is very grateful to him. "

"From the attitude he gave the money, you can tell that he really doesn't think that the money is anything." Tang Er hit looking up at the gold in this mine, sighing, "I guessed before what kind of birth would raise people like Georgia who have no attachment to money and have a lot of money reserves, so it turns out to be this kind of birth."

"Georgia, this literal money-spinner."

Tang Er hit a rare flirtation Bai Liu: "and you exactly the opposite ah, white tactician."

Bai Liu smiled disbelievingly as he spread his hands, "I'm a laid-off worker, every cent I've earned with my life, it's a bit difficult to ask me to splurge, Captain Tang."

"It's kinda interesting how your Heresy Handling Authority's finances are kinda stuck on everything though, it feels like."

Speaking of which, Tang Er fights and holds his forehead with a headache and whispers, "Stop it, that's a demon department."

"It's not that they're bad people, actually they're not bad people, they're just very timid, like a bunch of hamsters that are terrified of the cold winter and want to stock up on more food." Tang Er hit sigh, "The way the Heresy Handling Bureau's finances run is that the DFS collects the heretics, then the Logistics Department takes in the heretics, sorts the heretics into categories, counts them as files, categorizes a portion of the safe rentable heretics, and then the Ministry of Finance gives the approval to rent the heretics out to countries around the world, and uses this as a way to make a profit, and the money earned maintains the Heresy Handling Bureau's operations. "

"But a lot of high-risk heretics can't be rented, not only can they not be rented, but they also need some specific environments to be housed in, like the Blood Ganoderma lucidum, it has to be kept in a soil-less, blood-less, and dry environment, otherwise it will produce spores, and these environments also cost money to maintain for a long period of time."

"Not only that, but going out in the field costs different amounts of money for different encounters with heretics."

"Some heresy internment expenses are relatively small." Tang Er hit a helpless sigh, "But some heresy internment expenses are extremely huge, such as the last Sunshine City, the largest undersea heresy Georgia has ever interned, the internment expenses for these heretics would run into tens or even tens of billions, yet they have to be dealt with."

"There are some places where the officials are very nice to talk to and will reimburse us for a lot of sheltering expenses, just like Sunshine City's billions of dollars that ended up being eaten just because the officials reimbursed the bulk of it, but there are some places where the officials don't care about the heretics, and they can only be dealt with by the Heretic Handling Bureau itself, like Georgia's Under the Sea Heretics."

"Several of the heresies that have appeared recently have been heresies with high expenses, so the group at the Treasury will be especially tight-fisted, fearing that there won't be enough money to go around when the next heresy comes out."

"I can understand Su Yang's dislike of the Ministry of Finance because it really is a bad department to talk to, but I can also understand the Ministry of Finance because the uncertainty of heresy is just too great."

"If you can really put an end to this era of heresy everywhere."

Tang Er hit hopelessly smiled at Bai Liu: "That group of hamsters at the Finance Bureau might just hug your pants leg and howl for daddy."

"I do my best." Bai Liu smiles.

Reality, on the Gurokai Sea, the Heresy Handling Bureau's third bureau branch.

Inside the island branch, in the processing center of the underwater unmanned submarine reconnaissance department, a group of men sat in a tightly packed position in front of the console, wearing a signal receiving instrument helmet that covered half of his head, looking at the underwater detection radar signals coming from in front of the display screen, and reporting seriously:

"Report sir, nothing has been detected close to Heretic 0073 for the time being, end of report!"

A voice came over the headset, "Continue probing! Georgia, the Captain has given orders to make sure no one gets within a kilometer of Heretic 0073 until he returns!"

The team straightened up, "Roger that!"

After the voice in his headset ended, the team member rubbed his eyes a bit tiredly as he grabbed the coffee cup that was sitting next to the console and tried to drink it all in one go, only to realize that the coffee was already empty when he lifted it up.

"So tired." The team member next to him lengthened his body and stretched, dragging his jaw as he looked at the display, "How much longer do we have to keep watch, it's been a day and a night."

"It's just a teaser letter... is it worth the entire Third Bureau getting all worked up about?"

Although to their own work to the best of their ability, after the report that team member heard this also a little tired to respond, "...... Although Georgia captain do things have his reason, but I really do not know what to detect when I sit here. "

"I don't know exactly what it would take to steal a heresy that big from the bottom of the ocean."

"Right." The team member spread his hands, his voice covered in a helmet grinning, two sharp tiger teeth showing at the corners of his lips under his mask, "Been on guard here all day, and I don't know how I'm going to steal it."

"...... What...how did you steal it?!" Noticing something wrong with this team member, the team member who finished his debriefing snapped out of his state of exhaustion and laxity, and he realized with a jolt that there was something wrong with this team member - this team member's posture was too slouchy, and was clearly different from that of the well-trained members of the Third Bureau, and the Third Bureau's boarded-up, strict uniform was a bit ill-fitted on this team member's body, with the The cuffs and collar were undone and pulled up by him, turning it into a better action attire.

On top of that, the man was wearing a headset with a little monkey logo next to it - the third bureau wouldn't have such a cartoonish logo!

"Who are you?!" The team member, full of fear, was about to radio in, and had just picked up the machine when the suspicious team member across the room raised his hand and struck down at his neck in a lazy tone of voice, "Been waiting all day to finally learn how to see how this machine displays position."

"Thanks a lot, dedicated little brother."

In the second before he collapsed unconscious, the team member was horrified to see all the other team members outside on the ground.

This team member, or [Mu Sicheng], casually removed the mask from his head and put it aside, putting his feet up on the console and folding them, leaning back in his chair, casually taking a sip of his coffee and looking at the display with his eyes half-closed:

"Bai Liu is really going to get me in trouble ......"

"I can't believe I'm asked to come to another timeline to steal such a big heresy, it's my public holiday."

"Well, let me see just how extensive the exact location of this heresy is ......" [Mu Sicheng] leaned forward and mobilized the buttons on the console a few times, an entire scan appeared on the display, and he lightly raised one eyebrow. "Not bad for the biggest heretic."

He curled his lips and turned his right hand into a monkey's paw piercing his white uniform glove, "Seeing as the theft was strong enough, let's ask for a little less overtime this time."
