Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

Code City is a basin mountain city with a very unique terrain.

The city is tightly surrounded by the remnants of the Radrekla Mountains on all sides, and there is only a narrow road from north to south connecting it to the outside world.

This kind of terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and large troops cannot be deployed at all. Perhaps this is why the Kui Sect finally chose to fight the decisive battle here.

An organized and well-commanded army of 10 undead soldiers, defending a dangerous place, was a headache for even Du Weiguo, not to mention the veteran soldiers of Tianzhu.

But the good news is that this terrain has both advantages and disadvantages.

While making it difficult to attack, it also cut off the retreat route of the Kui Sect, trapping them firmly inside like a cage.

At present, the Indian military has mobilized 6 divisions and 7 brigades, with a total force of nearly 13, and has surrounded the entire outer layer of the Radrekla Mountains.

(I didn’t write this nonsense. The division of Tianzhu is large, with about 15000 people.)

In the middle of the night, at the entrance of a cave on the ridge north of Code City, several strange and ghostly figures were standing.

"Your Holiness, are we really not leaving? What if that beast really dares to detonate the pineapple?"

The one who spoke was Teletubbies, one of the elders of the Vi Cult and also the most human among the Vi Cult's top leaders.

At 12 noon today, the God of Evil will use the Big Pineapple to bomb the city of Code. This explosive news was announced three days ago and has already caused a sensation.

Now, the eyes of the world are on Code City.

Not to mention anything else, after 23 years, nuclear fusion weapons were used in actual combat again, and they were hydrogen bombs with upgraded technology, which naturally touched everyone's heartstrings.

If things go as expected, this little-known town will soon become known to everyone.

Although the monsters of the Vi Sect are a separate sect, they are not isolated from the sources of intelligence, so they naturally received this news.

"No, just in case, he must~~"

Krishna, the Pope of the Viper Cult, stood in the center. Its voice was still distant and intermittent, as if it came from another dimension.

He was still wearing his signature grey hooded cape, and his entire figure was shrouded in shadows.

It was late at night, and its shape seemed even more illusory. Under the moonlight, it seemed like a vague projection, and the breath of a living person was so weak that it was almost non-existent.

"It will definitely explode?" Teletubbies completed Krishna's words.

When he was questioned, his orbicularis oris and levator anguli oris muscles, which were not covered by his face, trembled like earthworms, and he must have made an expression of surprise.

"Yes." Krishna nodded slightly.

The Teletubbies' voice became noticeably surprised:

"Your Holiness, why are you so sure? Isn't he afraid of arousing the hostility of everyone in Tianzhu?"

There was a hint of questioning in his words, but Krishna did not answer. Instead, he slowly turned his head and faced the Teletubbies with his blurry face under the cloak.

Although Krishna's face could not be seen clearly as if through several layers of glass, his sharp eyes were like laser beams, captivating.

"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, I overstepped my authority."

The ghost-like Teletubbies immediately lowered their heads like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to look at its face, and their bodies were shaking slightly because of fear.

"The Pope's wisdom shines like the sun and the moon, so he will not make a mistake in judgment. That beast has always been rampant, and Tianzhu is weak, so of course he will act recklessly."

Another "hedgehog" elder with needles stuck all over his face and head seemed to be flattering, but in fact he was helping his partner out.

Krishna still didn't say anything, but just snorted in an ambiguous way, but eventually turned his face away.

The Teletubbies heaved a long sigh of relief and looked at the hedgehog with gratitude. Even though their appearance was scarier than that of a ghost, they were actually afraid of death as well.

Of course, the death in the eyes of these Viper cultists is not the same as the death in the concept of ordinary people.

They are basically immune to physical pain. In a sense, the body is a shackle and a burden to them.

These monsters have some pretty noble pursuits: immortality, spiritual immortality.

Krishna's current strange state of being half real and half unreal is a manifestation of his consciousness about to break free from the constraints of the body. To put it in a more mysterious way, it is the soul leaving the body.

As for how consciousness will exist after leaving the body, will it dissipate? Can it still affect the material world? That is unknown.

It is said that he will become an omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent god.

There have been more than one successful precedents in the secret texts of the Visuddhimagga, but no one has ever witnessed it with their own eyes. The contemporary Pope Krishna is the closest to the legend and the only one.

These statements were all uncovered during the previous eradication of the Vigilante strongholds. Du Weiguo was dismissive of these statements.

There are no ghosts or gods in the world, and he firmly believes in this.

Otherwise, at the height he is at today, he would have reached the ceiling of the world long ago and would have encountered it anyway.

Du Weiguo's interpretation is that the Viper sect is a group of idiots who are nothing more than food raised by vipers, a high-dimensional creature, on Earth.

And it is just one of its countless food sources, a very low-level one.

Even if the consciousness of the Viper followers can continue to exist in some form after leaving the body, the final outcome will most likely be that they will become Viper's meal.

Krishna remained silent, and the other "people" did not dare to speak either. The entrance of the cave became as silent as a tomb, and several ghost-like giants of the Visuddhimagga stood there quietly.

In fact, the entire Code City and the nearby mountains and forests are now eerily quiet. There is not a sound at all, not even the chirping of insects or birds, as if it were a dead zone.

I don't know how long it took, but the eastern sky was slightly white when Elder Hedgehog suddenly spoke:

"Your Holiness, the bombing is about to begin. I guess the Indian troops on the periphery have already started to evacuate. Should we select some elite believers to leave so as to preserve the flame of the Holy Church?"

Just now, they almost simultaneously felt a thorn in their side, a sense of impending danger, a very strong danger.

"No, we need to lie dormant for a while."

Krishna struggled to utter words one by one.

"Hibernation?"

"Hedgehog" is the chief elder of the Viper sect and also Krishna's most trusted subordinate. He immediately understood what his boss meant.

"Your Holiness, do you mean that we should take this opportunity to fake our own deaths and then go into hiding?"

Krishna's cloak nodded:

"Yes, now, we fight, but we will be dormant for the time being. When I become a god, I will wake you up and rebuild the Holy Church."

Upon hearing this, the two elders, Hedgehog and Teletubbies, looked at each other secretly, and they saw shock in each other's eyes at the same time.

This passage contains a lot of information, which can be summarized into three main points.

First, Krishna was very vain and admitted that he was no match for Du Weiguo and the evil spirits, at least not now, and he had to hide away to avoid the attack for the time being.

The hibernation it mentioned was actually suspended animation, a secret technique that only the high-ranking members of the Viper Cult could master after they became symbiotic with the Viper Insect. During the suspended animation, they did not need to eat or even breathe. Second, Krishna was sure that he could become a god, that is, he could successfully separate his consciousness from his body, and judging from what it said, it could be accomplished in a short period of time.

After all, no matter how weird the secret method of fake death of the Vi Sect is, it cannot last long. Under anaerobic conditions, it can only last for about three years, and under aerobic environment, at most one year.

That's right, it can last longer without oxygen. In other words, Krishna is sure that it can get rid of the constraints of the flesh and become a god in the legend of the Vivarian religion within three years at most.

Third, it wanted to use the nearly one thousand elite Viper followers outside the city of Code as cannon fodder to cover up its act of faking its death, and at the same time buy it time to become a god.

Lin Jiaojiao, this alternative Gu Master, can sense the number and location of Viper followers, and can also distinguish the levels of Viper insects. They have already noticed this.

If they evacuate now, given Du Weiguo's nature of wiping them out completely, he will definitely continue to hunt them down like a thorn in the flesh.

Previously, after many battles with Du Weiguo, the Kui Sect had already suffered heavy losses.

Right now, in order to put on a grand display under the city of Code, the Viper Cult's reserve of viper insects has been almost exhausted. In other words, they have no more trump cards.

Without the support of "dog-men" and "corpses", the Vip Sect is like a tiger or wolf without claws and fangs, and it does not even have the capital to fight against Du Weiguo.

The inevitable end result is that they will be uprooted by him, and no one will be able to escape.

But then again, what if Krishna could not become a god? The elite of the Visuddhimagga were all lost, and their vitality was severely damaged. There was no chance of a comeback.

Besides, if it cannot become a god, then who will wake up the elders who are pretending to be dead? By then, they will really be buried in this cave.

However, Krishna did not give them any time to question or think. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked deeper into the cave.

The cave they chose was not big, only enough for one person to pass through, but it was the deepest of the nearby caves, several hundred meters down, enough to withstand the impact of the big pineapple.

At the same time, about 45 kilometers east of Koder City, a Lynx attack helicopter was hovering over Mount Gargama, the highest peak of the Drakla Mountains.

When they were still dozens of meters away from the top of the mountain, the helicopter door suddenly opened, and Du Weiguo jumped down without hesitation, then hit the ground like a meteor with a loud bang.

"Du boy, catch me!"

Following closely behind, Lin Jiaojiao also gave a light shout and jumped down gracefully. Just as she was about to land, Du Weiguo grabbed her with his long arms and caught her steadily.

"Hey~"

Lin Jiaojiao smiled and took advantage of the situation to wrap her arms around his neck, then suddenly snuggled into his arms.

Du Weiguo hugged her tightly, her soft and fragrant body. A strange scent like musk suddenly filled his nose, and the strong feeling of pressure on his chest made him feel shaken.

"Humph!"

At this moment, a sharp cold snort suddenly sounded in my ears, and at the same time, there was a dangerous gaze like a thorn in the back.

The target of his gaze, of course, was Miss Hu who had just landed.

She did not jump directly, but used a rappelling rope to descend to a height of about 10 meters, then landed lightly like a feather without making any sound.

Du Weiguo was awed, and quickly pulled Lin Jiaojiao off his body, and said guiltily:

"Lin Jiaojiao, at this distance, can you sense those bastards from the Viper Cult? Do you need to get closer?"

Lin Jiaojiao gave him a disdainful and resentful look and pouted:

"No, we're close enough. I don't want to be roasted into jerky."

Theoretically, a hydrogen bomb with a yield of 30 tons can have an effective killing radius of up to 50 kilometers due to high heat, shock, and radiation, but that is in an open and flat environment.

The city of Code is surrounded by mountains on all sides, like a huge stuffy tank. It is estimated that the range cannot even reach 15 kilometers, but the explosion in the central area will be more violent.

The observation location chosen by Du Weiguo and his team should be foolproof.

"So, are they all gone?"

"No, I didn't run away." Lin Jiaojiao shook her head.

"What? No one ran away? Not a single one ran away?" Du Weiguo frowned, his tone was full of surprise.

Du Weiguo never expected to use this big pineapple to kill all the followers of the Hui sect, not to mention those old monsters in the upper echelons of the Hui sect.

His original intention was to force the Viper Cultists and the Undead Legion to separate, confiscate their weapons, and then defeat them one by one. Now that he heard that they did not run away, he was surprised and happy, but also a little worried.

Lin Jiaojiao rolled her eyes:

"What are you doing? There are hundreds of Viper followers, how can I possibly remember them all?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Are those leaders of the Viper Cult still here?" Miss Hu scratched her unhappily and scolded her coldly.

"Hu Laowu, you fucking~~" Lin Jiaojiao was immediately furious, but Du Weiguo held her shoulders.

"Lin Jiaojiao, stop making trouble. This question is very important. Are they still there now?"

Du Weiguo's expression was serious and his tone was quite solemn.

Lin Jiaojiao was captivated by his awe-inspiring aura, and stopped arguing with Miss Hu, and replied honestly:

"Here, the three elders are all here, and there are dozens of altar masters as well."

"Are you sure?" Du Weiguo was shocked by the news and his eyes widened.

"Of course, I am 100% sure. I can guarantee it with my life!"

Her professionalism was questioned, and Lin Jiaojiao was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She patted her chest excitedly and made a promise.

Du Weiguo stopped talking. He frowned and looked into the distance in the direction of Code City with an uncertain expression.

"What's wrong? Duda, isn't this a good thing? We can accomplish our goal in one fell swoop. What are you worried about?"

When Miss Hu saw that his face looked strange, she no longer cared about being angry and came over to him and asked softly.

Du Weiguo did not reply immediately, but lit a cigarette, smoked half of it, and then said in a deep voice:

"Hu Da, these bastards of the Hu Cult have always been cunning. Even though they knew we were going to detonate the pineapple on top of their heads, they didn't run away.

There must be something wrong when things are not normal. This is very wrong. I am worried that they have no way to resist the big pineapple. "

Miss Hu hesitated for a moment and replied:

“It’s not surprising. After all, Code City is mountainous and has many caves. If they hide in caves deep enough, they will be able to resist the Big Pineapple.

In addition, perhaps they have mastered some secret method that can block Lin Jiaojiao's perception, so that they can escape from our pursuit."

"Well, that makes sense."

Miss Hu's words came true. Du Weiguo nodded without comment, squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly flicked his cigarette butt and said murderously.

"Damn it, it can be hidden, right?"

"Hu Da, contact Rhodes immediately and ask him to shoot out all four pineapples on Kunpeng. I want to completely wipe this place off the map!" (End of this chapter)
