At 9 a.m. on November 20, 149 A.D

With the sound of the first-level alarm, the originally peaceful city suddenly became noisy.

Border guards poured into the dome, battle mechs of all kinds drove into the city, and many warships and airships obscured the sky.

The people hurriedly followed the guidance of the garrison and entered the underground protective bunker.

People were talking, and their eyes were terrified, as if the scene had been repeated when the curtain of the former center had been lowered.

However, this time there were not many sudden bloody scenes, and the border guards had already conveyed a message of reassurance to all the residents of Posivar when they entered the city, informing them: "The main goal of this operation is to clean up the criminal syndicate 'Hongyan' that has taken root in the underground of Posivar, and urgent evasive measures have been taken to ensure the safety of law-abiding citizens." ”

The people's unease has subsided after receiving such a notice, but it is inevitable that such a large battle is still frightening.

Because most of the people don't know what the "flood feast" is, even if they do, they only think it's a thief's nest, so they need to mobilize the people like this?

These doubts are clearly explained by the authorities.

By about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Posival had preliminarily completed the evacuation of the city's residents, and only a small number of illegal immigrants who were in the lowest class and did not have legal citizenship certificates were still lingering in their areas of activity.

Considering the time factor, Nanying Jane did not continue to wait for them to evacuate, but directly ordered the defense army to use the watch cannon of the Posival Dome to blow up the entrances of Hongyan in various corners of the city.

With the roar of artillery, the hearts of the people inside the protective bunker trembled, and everyone was silent, feeling, and imagining the tragic scene outside the bunker.

After the entrance exploded, Nan Yingjian did not let his border guards directly break into Hongyan's lair, but ordered all departments to block the entrance area, and at the same time ordered that if anyone with weapons and assembly was found to come out of the entrance and did not disarm and surrender, they would be killed.

The garrison would never dare to give such an order.

But for Nanying Jane, who has been guarding the border defense line between humans and alien spirits all year round, it is just a basic operation, and no one will feel that there is anything wrong with this order.

However, the people in the Hong banquet are not stupid, how could they rush out in the face of a rain of bullets.

Therefore, until about one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, only a small part of the trash fish were cleaned up at the entrances, and the power in Hongyan's old nest showed no signs at all.

This was not surprising to Nanying Jane, because long before the entrance was blown up, Silver City's team had already launched a search outside the Dome of Posival.

Therefore, the explosion of the hole is just to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, and those people in Yincheng are the backbone of cleaning up the Hongyan.

Another two hours passed, and it was just after three o'clock in the afternoon.

Nanying Jane received news from Silver City that they had found the main force of Hong Yan in an iceberg canyon that had been frozen for nearly 50,000 years to the southwest of the Dome of Posival and was engaged with it.

After receiving the news, Nan Yingjian ordered the whole army to go out and attack Hongyan's lair.

For a time, explosions in the city were heard one after another.

With the cooperation of various large motherships, the ground was penetrated, and the underground defense was destroyed.

After more than four hours of fighting, the headquarters of Hongyan was occupied, the border guards lost more than 500 fighters, more than 2,000 wounded, nearly 100 combat mechs and chariots of various types were damaged, a Ville-class warship was shot down, and the original most palatial central city in the eastern city of Posival, "Semar", was sunk to a degree of nearly 60 percent, and the remaining urban structure was also full of holes and turned into ruins.

After the clean-up operation for Hongyan's lair, the last hard bone left was the original auction center located in the center of Hongyan's lair.

At this time, the auction center was completely isolated from the "battle array", and it was impossible to enter it from the outside.

According to the information received before the start of the operation, Nanying Jian basically determined that Wan Xiaofei, Wei Yining, Ouyang Lailai and the mysterious "gentleman" were all in this "battle array".

As for Ye Xin and Xue Yi, the forces sent by Nanying Jian's side found nothing after searching, the place indicated by the coordinates they transmitted back before entering the underground ruins was just an empty underground warehouse, and at this time, the warehouse had been emptied, and Ye Xin and Xue Yi could not be found at all.

Nan Ying Jane: "Keep looking, it's impossible for them to go missing." ”

The adjutant immediately reopened the search as soon as he received the order.

Another hour passed, and the battle on the Silver City side was over.

Because it was in contact with Hong Yan's core strength, it was not easy for Yincheng to win this battle.

Hong Yan's accumulation over the years has also opened Yincheng's eyes.

Although they do not have the complete air-space combat system of the Border Guard, the ground force alone is enough to compete with the Border Guard.

Outside the dome, in the cold wind of more than minus fifty degrees, after a bloody battle.

Yincheng lost more than 2,100 combatants, which was mainly directly related to the destruction of a Thor-class warship, more than 500 ground combat units, and more than 700 combat mechs of various types.

In contrast, nearly 10,000 of Hongyan's core combat units were completely annihilated, leaving only some of those who voluntarily surrendered and those who came to participate in the auction to be captured.

The iceberg canyon of the battle is like a volcano after eruption, not only the glacier melts, but the canyon also shows a bright red scorching color, which is the traces left by the ultra-high-energy energy beam, this blow was completed by one of the main warships of the border defense force, the "Zhenchuan", causing a total of more than 4,000 combat units in Hongyan to be wiped out.

After detailed statistical comparison after the war, Yincheng confirmed that all the members of Hongyan's power structure had escaped, and the core force led by him was just a puppet, not Zhang Yi himself at all.

And such a large-scale loss of pawns also made Yincheng quite puzzled, from the analysis of the previous battles alone, the core strength of these Hongyan is simply to send them to death, if they want to escape, it is really difficult to block them outside the dome with the strength of the border guards.

But such a result was something that Yincheng was happy to see, and he didn't have the idea of overly speculating about Zhang Yi.

After this cleanup, Hong Yan can be said to have suffered a great loss of vitality.

Not only was the headquarters terminated, but most of the backbone was also lost.

Even if Zhang Yi, the number one speaker of Hong Yan, and the mother-in-law behind Hong Yan are still there, it is impossible for Hong Yan to make a comeback in a short period of time.

……

At about ten o'clock the next evening, Xue Ming arrived in Posivar.

By this time, the garrison had returned some of the population to their homes, but most of them were still waiting to be notified in protective bunkers.

Xue Ming was very satisfied with this arrangement, but when he learned that Xue Yi and Ye Xin were still missing, he was still worried.

"I've arranged for someone to expand the search area, as long as he entered through this door, he must still be around here, but we haven't overlooked anything and haven't found it yet." Nanying Jian said to Xue Ming.

Xue Ming looked at the disfigured protective door in front of him that had been destroyed.

Although it is well-made, it is still just an ordinary door, and outside the door is the large warehouse of the Hongyan Auction Center, where there were endless auction items in sight before, but when Hongyan evacuated, he took them all away, and Yincheng did not intercept these auction items.

The inside of the door is a much smaller space, which is also empty, but what makes people more concerned is that the space inside is not the usual warehouse-like cuboid structure, but a vacuum hemisphere.

In the center of the hemisphere there is a hollow slot, as if something had been standing here before.

After Xue Ming stood at the empty slot for a while, he suddenly noticed that the light inside the empty slot seemed to be a little strange, so he turned on the strong light on his fingertips and leaned into the empty slot.

It turned out that the empty tank was coated with light-absorbing material, and it was not shiny at all.

Regarding this situation, Nan Yingjian explained: "I have already found someone to see it, this empty groove is ten meters deep downward, the inside is empty, and there is nothing special at the bottom, so it should not be a key point." ”

Xue Ming nodded, then got up, and suddenly said with a smile: "What do you say these people are blatantly doing here?" ”

Nanying Jane said: "The wings are hard, I want to fly, I have fat guts, I want to bite people." ”

Xue Ming snorted, and then sighed: "But Concubine Xiao sent a series of distress signals to the central core before losing contact with the headquarters, and from these distress signals, I can feel how helpless she was at that time...... And with what I know about Concubine Xiao, there should be nothing in this world that can scare her like this, unless...... What she sent was not a cry for help at all, but a warning! ”

"Warning? Are you trying to say that Concubine Xiao wants us not to come? ”

Xue Ming didn't speak, he looked around, and then took out a small box from his coat pocket.

Inside the box was a small pebble that didn't look good.

When she saw it, Nanying Jane felt as if she had gone back to decades ago, back to the time when she first went on a mission with Yincheng and carried out hunting missions together.

Xue Ming took out the pebble, and then said, "Since you can't see it, let it tell us the answer." ”

As he spoke, Xue Ming gently threw the pebble forward.

The stone slashed an arc and landed on the ground with a thud.

A crisp sound echoed through the hemispherical room......

Nanying Jian didn't know what the meaning of Xue Ming's actions was, but she saw it really.

At the moment when the stone landed, Xue Ming's face suddenly turned pale.

……

At the same time, Xue Yi and Ye Xin hadn't realized that there was something wrong with the door they had passed through, in their consciousness, they should still be in a ruin somewhere below Posivar at the moment, the border guards were coming, and they could move forward without any worries.

But actually......

They have inadvertently broken into the abyss of the unknown, and ...... Sink deeper and deeper.
