The attack of the mutants
/*unedited*/
The V05-Banshee aircraft that Shin Jiao and Mary are on just shook for a while, but it didn't affect their flight. Everyone was alard, but since nothing happened, they all continue on their destination.
The three aircraft flew towards their destination without a hitch after that. Not long later, they arrive at their destination in a desert.
Shin Jiao can see a do construct protected by tall cent walls. It is not known whether the construct is being protected from the outside world or the outside world from the construct, but from the direction of the gun turrets mounted above the walls, it's the latter.
"We call this place the Dark zone because there are no radio signals or any ans of communication possible for a mile radius from the portal. As you can see there are layers of walls. The second wall is where our base is and at a one-mile radius from the do." A soldier beside Shin Jiao introduced.
"We are going to land on the outskirts of the area around 2 miles away, then take a ride towards the do. Since the command to retreat no soldiers are left in the area and only drones, so don't expect a welco committee, Haha…" the man said with a chuckle.
The rest followed after him as they eyed the landing zone where a large mobile army camp is on standby. Shin Jiao can see heavy weaponry and sophisticated machinery all around the camp.
After landing, they received a report that a group on monsters have forcefully opened the do's tal door, however, the drone has already taken care of those monsters.
The group hopped on a couple of Humvees and directly traveled to the do.
After passing through two huge gates, the group reached the do and Shin Jiao can see the place clearly.
Many machines for scientific research are lying on the ground unattended.
Before the group could enter fully, Shin Jiao imdiately noticed sothing. The closed gate of the do was torn forcefully. It is clear that it was forcefully opened from the inside.
This was what the soldiers reported when they landed.
Shin Jiao can see bodies of lizard-like beasts on the ground. He can recall that these creatures are only 1st level beasts and can be easily killed with the right weapon.
Shin Jiao walked towards the dead creatures on the ground.
The soldiers behind him wanted to stop his action but he has already reached the carcasses. They didn't have a choice but to cautiously spread around the area to check it.
He pulled out a knife from his pocket and began cutting a beast's carcass in a certain area. Not long later, he pulled out a small green stone-like object.
"The core is still good." Shin Jiao muttered.
Suddenly one of the scientists walked near Shin Jiao and asked.
"What is that?"
"This? It's a beast core. For normal people, this is of no use. But for her… it's a bit precious." He said while looking at Mary.
Mary is also eyeing the core on Shin Jiao's hand then shook her head.
"It's just a low-level core. Not enough for . Hihi…" she said.
"Alright, so you don't mind taking all of them then?" Shin Jiao said with a smile.
"Be my guest."
"Oh, thank you. Don't mind if I do." Shin Jiao said as he began retrieving the cores.
After taking out more than ten cores, Shin Jiao looks at the beast's carcasses littered on the ground.
"Tsk… such a waste. These are all precious at." Shin Jiao said while shaking his head.
The rest of the scientists and soldiers look at him weirdly.
"Young man, it seems that you are not aware of the danger this at possesses." A middle-aged scientist said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"You can try to eat them and see if it would taste good." The man added.
This gained smirks on the people around them. They are all aware of the danger of the at because of an accident where a soldier attempted to cook one and ate the at. With just one bite, the soldier suffered insufferable pain all over his body and almost died at that ti.
Luckily for him, the doctors were able to take the at out of his system and survive. But of course, many of his veins were damaged and he needed a long ti to recover. And that is just from a small bite.
Hence it beca a well-known story in the area that almost all those who knew of the existence of the portal knew also of the danger it possesses.
But Shin Jiao didn't bother with them, he would just gather so of these beasts after he fixed Gubu's ring, that way, his two wives would be able to gain more strength and stronger physique.
Mary who is standing on the side didn't explain anything as she just stood there looking at the area while trying to use magic to scan the surroundings of possible danger.
The group then proceeded to enter the do.
When Shin Jiao saw what's inside, his eyes imdiately turned into slits.
"This is a dinsional gate…" he muttered.
"Yeah, this is the sa gate that caused us to arrive in this world." Mary on his side muttered.
Shin Jiao didn't know the full story of Mary Anderson and the mysterious Bail kingdom. But since she is a mage, he can deduce that their kingdom might co from the cultivation world. So he didn't reach to her words.
But the people beside them turn to look at Mary with his mouth agape. This is true especially the scientists. This is because they are aware of the mysterious kingdom of Bail. And they didn't expect to learn about this revelation right at this ti.
Shin Jiao extended his hand towards the center of the portal. He began channeling the energy from his core to the rippling surface and using his absolute sense began expecting every corner of it.
The portal looks like a 6-7 ters tall circular silver mirror with a blurred rippling surface.
So when Shin Jiao extended his hand towards the portal it began to glow making all of the people inside the do beca startled. The soldiers imdiately dragged the scientist to the side as they went to a defensive formation.
anwhile, Shin Jiao and Mary just stood in the middle without moving.
However, Mary already had her hand glowing as she has already prepared a spell.
Shin Jiao had his eyes close as he carefully inspected the whole portal to confirm his suspicion. Then the corner of his mouth curve into a slight smile.
"This was not done by any cultivator or mage. There might be a beast in Daemon Forest that tried to escape danger and accidentally discovered this dinsional crack. And that beast is sentient and was able to stabilize the crack and turned it into an escape spot… Clever…" he thought as he analyzes everything.
"So this ans I cannot close this portal with my ager strength… I can only set up an array to hide the space crack from the beast. Then maybe I can stabilize this place making it a permanent gateway for two worlds." Shin Jiao thought as he began planning.
He had no other choice as the portal is not man-made, but a natural gate… or not…
Shin Jiao rembers that the Deity of the Earth ntioned that he knew the Deity who is in charge of the other world. If so, then…
His eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is an old gateway…" he muttered in his surprise.
He could not explain everything right at this mont, because the portal right in front of him is already in the realms of the gods. How could his ager knowledge compare to that?
As he contemplated, he retracts his hand and began planning his next course of action. He could not hide the fact that the portal is an active portal and cannot be closed. So what he can do now is to create a protective barrier that would protect Earth from the powerful beast, but to do that he needed powerful cores.
"I need to hunt a 5th level or a 6th level beast out there…" he thought as a strong determination glinted in his eyes.
He turns to the people behind him and said.
"Alright, I have good news and bad news… which one do you want to hear first?"
Everyone showed a confused look on their faces. Then one bespectacled man raised his hand and said.
"I think bad news first… I think the good news is your solution, right?" he said feeling a bit shy.
Shin Jiao smirked at what the man has said. He knew that the n with him are the best of the best, hence he was not surprised at all.
"Alright, then… the bad news is… this is not a normal portal. It is actually a dinsional rift, a natural one. Hence only the gods can close this thing here." He said with a smile.
When the people around him heard this, they were all taken aback.
If what, Shin Jiao said is true, then the danger it would pose to the planet is imnse. The faces of the scientist turned pale. They had already witnessed how strong and powerful the beast which once entered the area and the fierce battle that happened next. Many soldiers were actually lost at that ti and they were only fighting a handful of a gigantic beast.
"Are we going to be dood then?" a woman asked while biting her lips.
Shin Jiao showed a calm smile on his face.
"Well, I still have good news, right?"
