C39 (1/2)
On April 25, a joint operation with Southwest Falcon to reclaim the Hawkmouth Hydropower Station was finally carried out. The Southwest Falcon side sent out the most powerful and independent troop with a strength of over a thousand people, while Little Qingshan's self-rescue battalion was led by Chen Jing's personal commander, as well as the Green Dragon Legion's ”1011” brigade and special battalions led by Wei Dong and Tian Yu.
To be honest, the main reason for the delay was that there were more than two hundred meat mountains in the northern part of Mianzhou, all the way to the Longmen Mountains. The meat mountain was placed between the end of December last year and the beginning of January this year. In the previous few times, the density of the meat mountain was about two square kilometers. This time, however, only 240 meat mountains, about five square kilometers, were placed in the vast area which extended from the northern part of Mianzhou to the northern part of the Longmen Mountains, which was about 30 kilometers to the north and the southern part of the mountain from the east to the west, which was about 40 kilometers to one thousand square kilometers. This time, he had raised it for more than four months, and the time was also double the previous period. Xiao's scouts estimated that most of them grew to more than twenty tons, with a few even approaching forty tons.
This group of meat mountain rescue camps had been collecting since the beginning of April, and it had taken them more than a week to complete the harvest. The bad news was that three mountains of flesh had disappeared, and of course the remaining cores were still there. He also found a black pearl about the size of a walnut and two smaller ones among the remaining cores. From this, it seemed that the core secrets that the rescue camp had protected with all their might could no longer be kept. Of course there was good news, that was after harvesting 238 beads, most of them were as big as an egg, some were as small as walnuts, and 8 of the beads were even bigger than a fist. What was even more gratifying was that he had harvested four egg sized and one walnut-sized grey beads. It seemed that Zhang Xiang had a guarantee to advance to the Second Order.
It took Chen Jing about four hours to bring his troops to the Hawkmouth Hydropower Station, but it was not difficult to get to the station, since the zombies in the western part of the city had all been eaten by the mountain of flesh. The trip only took them more than four hours. Of course, according to the original agreement, the 101st Regiment, which had arrived earlier, had camped in the open area below the power station, awaiting the arrival of the friendly troops.
In fact, a large portion of the zombies in the area they had entered into had also been eaten by the mountains of flesh. However, because the movement of the main force's march had attracted the zombies from the more east, although the main force's strength was also very strong, they still had to spend more than seven hours to reach the power station after two in the afternoon. They had to pay the price of more than a hundred casualties. In the end, it was thanks to Tianyu's support team that they were able to eliminate the more than one thousand zombies that were following them.
The Lanting River originated from the mountainous and vast Longmen Mountains. With a sufficient amount of water, it rushed out of the mountains between the Eagle Mouth Peak and Cloud Mist Mountain, heading towards the northeast.
Eagle Beak Peak was named because at the mouth of the Lanting River, there was a huge rock that was hundreds of thousands of tons, like an eagle's beak, extending from the mountain all the way to the heart of the Lanting River, causing the river water to flow out of the huge depression in the mountain before it flowed out of the hole. As a result, this boulder is known as the Eagle's Beak, and the mountain peak is known as the Eagle's Beak Peak.
In the nineties of the last century, the government built a dam about forty meters tall according to the special topography of the Eagle's Beak. It intercepted ten kilometers of river water upstream of the Lan Ting River, forming a reservoir with a depth of over thirty meters called the Eagle's Beak Reservoir, which was also known as the Eagle's Beak Lake. Of course, there are also three medium hydraulic generating sets with a capacity of 50 thousand kW installed on the dam
There probably weren't any zombies left at Eagle's Beak Power Station. That was because the commotion caused when Chen Jing and his group arrived had already lured over ten zombies down from above. Considering the space above the power station was not big, Chen Jing and Zhang Jianjun each brought a small elite team. On Chen Jing's side was the commander general's guard led by Zhang Xinlin.
On the left side of the dam, there was a five-storey office building. During the search, the team members also rescued two men, three women and five survivors. According to the survivors, since the power station was a large hydroelectric power station with a capacity of 150 thousand kilowatts, there were about 30 people on duty in the different departments at the time, while 8 people survived. One of them was eaten by zombies on the spot, while the remaining 7 survived in the room. Fortunately, the power station was far away from the city, so there was a small cafeteria. At first, the group of seven discovered that more than twenty zombies were gathered downstairs. Fortunately, after a few days, the zombies started to evacuate towards the mountains. A month later, the last zombie also left. Of course, although there weren't any zombies downstairs, the seven of them knew that zombies were in the surrounding forest, so they didn't dare to move for a long time. However, three months ago, two of them couldn't stand the loneliness anymore, so they ignored the other five and snuck down the mountain. However, half an hour later, the remaining five heard the screams of one of them as well as the howls of the zombies. However, the remaining five didn't dare to run anymore.
Due to the advanced automatic safety protection equipment installed in the power station, the power station stopped automatically immediately after the accident and cut off contact with the outside world. As a result, all the equipment remained in good condition.
The integrity of the electric station naturally made Chen Jing and the rest extremely happy, however, when Chen Jing and Zhang Jianjun led the group back to the top of the dam, an accident happened. A huge water python about ten meters long suddenly sprung out of the Eagle Lake, engulfing the unprepared Chen Jing in the water, catching everyone around them unprepared. Zhang Xinlin and the other members of his guards jumped into the water anxiously, but how could they catch up to the water python? Before long, the water python carried Chen Jing and ran into the depths of Eagle's Mouth Lake.
Zhang Xinlin and the rest, as well as Wei Dong and the others who had caught up to them, were still unable to find anything even after an hour, so they had no choice but to send people to send the news back to headquarters. By the end of the day, You Ye and Lu Min, accompanied by Xiao Gang and the others, arrived at the power station.
The next day, the army of thousands of people busied themselves for a whole day, exterminating more than a thousand zombies that rushed over upon hearing the news. They searched the entire Eagle Lake, but to no avail. That night, other than Wang Lei, Zhang Xinlin, and their commander in chief's guards who were accompanying You Cai and Lu Min, the rest of the people returned to headquarters with a heavy heart. In addition, there was another person who stayed behind. This person was Zhang Zixin. She stayed behind in the name of accompanying Lu Min and Sister You Cai.
To be honest, when Zi Xin and her father recognized each other, she couldn't forget about Chen Jing calling her a silly lass. After two sleepless nights, Zi Xin knew that she had fallen in love with the man who wanted her to call him Uncle Chen Jing at first sight. Thus, when she heard that Chen Jing had been carried away by the water python, she had followed him over while crying.
As for Chen Jing, after he was carried into the water by the water python, he began to sink rapidly, 5 meters, 10 meters, 20 meters... As the water python, as he sank rapidly, 5 meters, 10 meters, 20 meters... Of course, the danger was still far from over. The water python's unceasingly increasing twisting power seemed to want to squeeze out all the bones in Chen Jing's body. Fortunately, after advancing to the Second Order, Chen Jing's body's resistance had greatly increased, thus he was barely able to resist the water python's huge twisting power for the time being.
An hour later, the water python brought Chen Jing into a hundred-meter-deep cave. Perhaps the readers were wondering where this hundred-meter-deep cave came from the 30-meter-deep Eagle's Beak Lake. Actually, aside from this water python that used the cave as its lair, no one else knew. Originally, in the Longmen Mountains, there were many limestone layers. Due to the erosion of water flow over tens of millions of years, there were many huge karst caves. However, there was a 200 metre deep karst cave located 2 km upstream of the dam. Originally, this cave was still more than 20 meters away from the surface. However, 20 years ago, there was a huge earthquake and a 2-meter-wide crack appeared at the top of the cave. It was unknown when this water python had used the karst cave as its lair.
As a result, when Chen Jing managed to withstand the pressure and started to improve, he used the Six Vein Divine Sword in his right hand to cut apart the water python. Who knew that after the water python evolved, it would also be a blessing in disguise, and by now, it was already a Level Two creature. The scales on its body were abnormally strong, making it impossible for the Six Vein Divine Sword to break through its defense. However, it was also because of this water python's bad luck that it had encountered a human who was good at using his brain.
Thus, when Chen Jing discovered how powerful the scales of the water python were, he immediately began to pry open the scales. However, the water python's scales were very sturdy, and Chen Jing only had one hand left to use. Thus, it took him over an hour to pry open a fist-sized scale. By this time, the water python had already returned to its nest. Of course, once the water python returned to its lair, it would enjoy its prey. Thus, not too long after Chen Jing had pried open the scales, the water python's bloody maw had shot towards him, swallowing him whole. In that critical moment, Chen Jing had stabbed his sword into the location where the scales had been pried open. The sharp sword of six meridians pierced deep into the body of the water python, causing red blood to immediately spurt out. The enormous pain naturally caused the water python to no longer be able to eat.
