Chapter 366 Giant Ice Defense Line
"Captain, the target quickly passes through the third line of defense."
"They ran nearly 10 kilometers in 15 minutes. Their speed is amazing. Are you feeling any pressure, Captain Li?" Zhang Ning picked up the white backpack he had prepared in advance and couldn't help but teasing when he heard the team members' real-time reports in the headphones.
"There's no need to feel pressured at this speed, Captain Zhang. Today I'll let you try what it means to take off from a flat ground. You have good balance, right?" Li Cheng raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of confidence.
"Of course I have good balance. How could I be afraid that I can't catch you when you take off from the ground?" Zhang Ning responded with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll let you see it for yourself. Let's go."
After saying that, Li Cheng transformed into a strong and powerful ice leopard, three times the size of an ordinary leopard.
Zhang Ning quickly took out the skateboard and used double ropes to pull it, with one end connected to Li Baozi and the other end connected to the dividing line of his limbs.
Zhang Ning put on the snow tactical helmet and pulled down the goggles to fully protect his head and face. Then he turned on the supernatural monitor and the camouflage device provided to them by the paradise base.
His whole body was relaxed, ready to liquidify himself at any time to deal with emergencies during the operation.
“Ready!”
Li Baozi warmed up his front and back feet by stepping on the snow, then he started to run slowly. He held the rope, trying to keep his balance, and his legs slid quickly in time with Bing Baozi's rhythm.
After leaving the city center, the more open the location, the faster Li Baozi ran. He ran across the snow like an arrow, so fast that the surrounding scenery became a blurred afterimage.
So much so that in the later period, Zhang Ning only felt the wind whistling in his ears and his heart beating violently.
The line of sight goes from being horizontal at the beginning to gradually rising in an instant!
He flew up from the ground and looked down at the white world below him. The feeling of weightlessness off the ground made Zhang Ning feel very refreshed.
After leaving his own defense line, he could only rely on Zhang Ning to track him at high altitude.
He used a telescope to carefully track the traces in the distance, and soon he discovered two dazzling spots of light moving!
"12 kilometers northwest." Zhang Ning calmly conveyed the target location to Li Cheng.
Li Cheng bared his fangs, changed direction quickly, and increased his speed again, as if he wanted to break through the cold air.
The two chased for about 30 kilometers, and just like in S City, there was not a single zombie in sight along the way.
Li Baozi ran happily. He didn't even take a breath during this short distance. The uphill road allowed him to maintain his speed and passion. Suddenly, he heard Zhang Ning's urgent reminder to slow down.
"There is a line of defense!" Zhang Ning's heart tightened.
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng immediately released his supernatural powers, transforming his body into a large ball of ice, which instantly covered the snow surface.
Zhang Ning fell rapidly, triggering his water ability and remaining unharmed.
The two of them quickly lay down on the snow, and the camouflage device hid them in the vast snow scene, making it easier to detect the enemy's defense line.
"Oh my god, this defense line is incredible, it's made of giant ice blocks." Li Cheng exclaimed.
"This means that they have quite a few ice-type psychics. There should be an enclosed lake in front of the defense line, separating S City from their territory."
"There are only 1,2, 3...4...4... guards on the defense line. There are too few people. There are guards on the higher levels. It should be at that position where you can see the smoke from the refinery." Li Cheng pointed.
"Indeed, and this giant ice defense line is 32 meters high and more than... 2 kilometers long. There are many ice sculptures made by zombies on the frozen lake. They should be traps they set." Zhang Ning said as he looked at the terrain. In addition to discovering the defense line in the air just now, the situation on the lake also made him astonished to a certain extent.
Li Cheng's focus was on the defense line and he didn't pay attention to the frozen lake.
When he looked towards the lake, he saw the ice sculptures standing on the lake in strange shapes. Some were half under the frozen surface and half exposed above the lake. The heads were all gone, replaced by various ice and snow shaped portraits. The most bizarre thing was that all the ice sculptures had broken arms!
"What kind of people are these guys in the Omniscient Church? Perverts and bad tastes, posing like Venus!!?" Li Cheng rolled his eyes.
Zhang Ning was also speechless, but he could also guess from this what kind of opponent they would be facing.
"I just noticed that Xigou and his men did not go directly over the ice. Instead, they built an ice bridge to connect to the defense line and went in."
"It's an iron wall, the straight-line distance is about... a hundred meters. We go in at night." Li Cheng asked Zhang Ning for his opinion.
"Well, we can't cross the lake, so we can only imitate them and cross it."
The two men made up their minds and observed each other's shift changing times for the day. Fortunately, Li Cheng built a small ice house on the spot that could be used for lying down, otherwise they would have been frozen to death if they lay on the snow.
They rested in the igloo and waited patiently for the night to fall.
Finally, the sky gradually darkened and the moonlight shone on the snow. After nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply and the wind was biting.
The giant ice defense line stood quietly in the darkness, and from time to time one could see the hat lights on the patrolling guards' heads flickering.
"I thought they would have big searchlights on their defense lines during nighttime alert."
"Maybe, it's not necessary."
"That's right, let's go."
The two worked together, using the combination of ice and water, to quickly build an ice bridge.
Li Cheng turned into an ice leopard and carried Zhang Ning on his back as he quickly approached the defense line from the ice bridge.
They carefully avoided the patrolling guards and came to the edge of the defense line.
Zhang Ning immediately used his special ability to wrap himself and Li Cheng in a water ball, and slid down the inner wall of the defense line smoothly.
The guards on the defense line were not alerted during the whole process.
They successfully entered the other side of the defense line, but they didn't expect it to be pitch black inside. Even the high-rise buildings were dark. It didn't look like a cult stronghold at all. It was just a deserted place.
Just as the two of them were squatting in the snow, thinking about what to do next.
Suddenly, the sound of singing came from not far away, intermittent, sometimes high and sometimes low, and it could be heard that it was a drunk person singing.
They followed the sound but found nothing special.
Zhang Ning suggested following the drunkard, perhaps they would discover something.
The drunkard sang while drinking and walked crookedly. Although he was wearing a Divine Guard uniform, he didn't look like someone who had been brainwashed at all.
The two men walked up quickly, pretending to be drunkards, and put their hands on the shoulders of the divine guard and talked nonsense together.
"Drink, drink some more!"
"There's no more wine. Your bottle is empty. Where is the wine? There is it!!"
The drunkard was drunk and squinting, unable to see Zhang Ning and Li Cheng clearly. He opened his mouth, reeking of alcohol, and said with a smile: "Oh, no more wine! Don't worry, don't worry, brother... I have wine, look, this bottle of mine is full of... good wine... hehe".
"Where...there's more...it's all spilled...spilt!" Zhang Ning saw the wine in the bottle of the drunkard guard spilled all the way.
"Oh...it's gone...my wine is gone...let's go back...and get more!" The drunkard guard turned around and was about to go back the same way, but suddenly his legs and feet went weak and he knelt directly in the snow, burying his head in the snow, like an ostrich stuck in the ground, motionless.
"Slept with!?"
"He must have drunk the wine nearby. If it's not on the ground, it must be underground."
"A speakeasy?"
"Well, the two little dogs who came to investigate mentioned that they could drink and eat hot pot when they returned. The divine guards of this stronghold are most likely not brainwashed and are very flexible. The zombie-like style shows that the leader of this stronghold has a complicated personality and is not interested in boring things and people."
"It turns out that he is a leader of a small branch of the cult with a strong personality."
"This ostrich stuck in the ground is our stepping stone. Go back and knock on it."
It was a very cold day, and Zhang Ning and Li Cheng were carrying a drunkard back home.
He sang loudly, making quite a lot of noise, and finally knocked a hole in the wall.
Along with the sound of a mechanism turning, the wall slowly opened, revealing an elevator. The drunkard swiped his code and went down to the underground. When the elevator opened, a warm breath and a strong aroma of wine hit his face, forming a sharp contrast with the cold snow outside.
The two men carried the drunkard inside, and inside was a large and bustling underground bar.
Under the colorful lights, the whole place was filled with divine guards who had obviously drunk a lot. The exciting and stimulating songs made them dance with their heads swaying. They were having so much fun that some of them even took off their clothes in public. Everything was very explicit.
Zhang Ning and Li Cheng were stunned. The people in this cult really know how to have fun.
The drunkard was woken up at this time. He saw the bottle of wine was taken away, and he drank himself a glass of wine with a smile, allowing the two men to carry him forward.
When they walked out of the bar, they saw an entire underground city with bright lights, wine and women, and everything else.
At this time, melodious and warm music sounded, and the drunkard seemed to be under stress. He knelt directly on the ground and spoke with great confidence.
The people around him behaved like the drunkard, kneeling on the ground. Even the bar behind him paused its lively songs and was so quiet that it seemed as if the sound had been muted.
They immediately "followed the tribe" to avoid being exposed.
A fragrance filled the air and spread throughout the underground city.
A bright spot of light appeared in the dark sky made of steel and concrete above. It was more like a multi-faceted mirror that could reflect light than a bright light.
"Be careful. I don't know how they brainwash us. Try not to look at or inhale these gases." Zhang Ning reminded.
"Oh, Bishop Aphrodite, the most beautiful Bishop of the Omniscient Church, we submit to you, please grant us beauty."
"Beautiful!?" The two were shocked*
Various billboards in the city were broadcasting what they called Her Excellency Bishop Aphrodite.
A light silver-white gauze dress outlines her perky buttocks and thin back, and it seems that there is nothing underneath.
Zhang Ning and Li Cheng were somewhat curious about this most beautiful bishop and could not help but secretly glance at the billboard.
The bishop danced swayingly, and when he turned around, his veil and the gauze on his body fell down, and Zhang Ning and Li Cheng's back teeth were about to break.
What a pure middle-aged master, as innocent as snow and as white as a chrysanthemum!
