When the value of the goal is determined, the power mobilized by the ninth district is enormous.

Those who have a little knowledge of the topography of Mexico can vaguely distinguish the Papailoapan River and the Tonara River on the slate map.

But the area between the two is tens of thousands of square kilometers, with swampy rainforests and dense vegetation everywhere.

An ancient building involving extraordinary power is hidden in such a place, and even if a satellite is used to search every inch, there is no way to capture the traces.

Therefore, it is necessary to narrow the search range according to other reference objects on the map.

However, anyone who knows geography knows that the terrain changes very dramatically near the estuary and coast.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the land east of the Pujiang River was still in the sea. More than 1,300 years ago, the Chongdao in the Yangtze River Delta of the Yan Kingdom did not exist.

The same is true for Mexico. Under the scouring of water for thousands of years, the channels of the two rivers have undergone significant changes. Many deep valleys have turned into lakes, and plains have turned into swamps.

To make matters worse, because Mexico is located at the junction of the three major tectonic plates, it is prone to earthquakes. In the past century alone, there have been more than 40 major earthquakes of magnitude 7 or higher, and 4 of them were magnitude 8 or higher.

For various reasons, the topographic changes in Mexico over the past three thousand years are amazing enough. Therefore, many reference objects on the map no longer exist and cannot be used.

When Lucas and Chen Shuo deciphered the map, they could only identify the conspicuous and basically unchanged landmarks such as the Sierra Madre, and then searched the ancient books, reversed the changes, and gradually narrowed the scope.

Even with the assistance of District 9 employees, the time passed in units of days. When Tang You was free, he would occasionally turn his attention to their progress.

Finally, four days later, they pinpointed the most likely location.

Everyone including Edgar gathered in the conference room tent and formed a circle.

"Wow..."

With everyone watching, Chen Shuo raised his hand and threw a complete map of Mexico on the table in the middle. Then Lucas picked up a red 0-color signature pen and drew a circle on the map.

With a "click", the pen cap was closed, and Lucas, who had a tired face but a very excited expression, looked at Edgar: "This is our achievement."

Edgar lowered his head slightly, his sharp eyes staring at the striking red circle on the map, his left hand raised his right elbow, while the latter stood near his chin, his thumb rubbed the side of his index finger.

After a long while, he raised his head, looked around at the people around him, and said firmly and slowly, "Everyone, prepare to act!"

...

Mountain combat shoes stepped into a puddle and splashed.

Under the dense shade of the rainforest, the bullfrog was sitting on a wet stone covered with moss and chirping. Hearing this movement, a fully armed human being reflected in his eyes, and he immediately plunged into the water and swam to hide under the stone crevice.

A Ninth District team passed by, holding various portable detection instruments, and everyone's eyes were looking around for something.

"boom……"

The noise of the propellers is from far to near, someone looks up, the treetops are swaying one after another like a contagion, and through the gap, a helicopter can be seen flying from above.

in the helicopter cockpit.

The pilot with the headset was chewing gum and saw the wide green land rushing towards him. He flicked a button above his head and turned to look at the surface through the porthole.

"This is No. 3. The search in Area 12 has been completed, and no human buildings have been found. It's over." The co-pilot turned on the radio and said loudly.

in the camp.

Edgar listened to the sound of the hand-held radio, and with the end of the pen, he slid across the map divided into many pieces, and quickly stopped.

"No. 3, go to the next area to continue searching, it's over."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the area on the map, where most of them had been crossed, and his brows could not help frowning.

The search has been going on for more than two days, and more than half of the area has been investigated, but there is still nothing to be found, even the clues have not been found.

As a leader, always plan for the worst in advance.

Edgar was already thinking, if he could not find the Aegis building after all the investigations, what would be the cause?

1. The speculation is wrong; 2. It is still in operation, and the supernatural power will hide it, just like the scaly monster in Asyu will be invisible; 3. It has been damaged and completely buried.

Either way, it's very tricky.

It is unrealistic to find it in a short time, and I can't stay here all the time. Although the ninth district can operate on its own, the people above have to deal with it by themselves.

It seems that you have to find someone you can trust to take charge of the long-term work here.

The sky is getting darker.

Edgar Hobson told the search party to return and resume tomorrow.

Then, the people who stayed at the camp gathered in the conference tent. After they took their seats, they looked at the dense red crosses on the map posted on the whiteboard and remained silent.

"A total of 25 blocks, after two days of searching, 22 have been excluded, leaving only the last three."

Edgar stood facing the crowd and announced the current situation.

As for the 25 blocks divided, everyone has discussed them before, and they are numbered one by one from the one with the highest possibility of existence of the Aegis building. That is to say, the later the number, the lower the probability of appearance.

Now there are only three areas left, 23, 24, and 25. Anyone can see that the hope of finding the Holy Shield building is extremely slim.

"Professor Lucas, Professor Chen, can you be sure that the verification and derivation must be correct?" Someone from the ninth district tried to ask.

Lucas looked at it immediately and said with some dissatisfaction: "I have taught at the National Autonomous University of Mexico for more than 20 years, specializing in this piece of history, please don't doubt my professionalism?"

"Professor, please don't be angry."

Edgar made a sound, and then explained his thoughts about the hidden power of supernatural power and being buried in the changing terrain.

...

When the camp was discussing, many search teams were returning one after another with military flashlights under the slightly dim shade of trees.

This is an area where existing humans have set foot, and the natural ecology is well-preserved.

About three or four hundred meters away from the camp, there was a large lake, from which a stream flowed, meandering through the jungle, forming a pebbled shoal in front of a rock wall, and flowing deeper.

A four-person team passed by with tiredness and chatting.

"It's hot and humid in this rainforest. It's really not a place for people to stay. I really don't know why the ancients built buildings here. Isn't that asking for guilt?"

Someone complained helplessly.

"Who knows, let's find it early, so we can leave this ghost place early.. 0" Another person said, fanning away the mosquitoes that were circling around his face.

Tang You's projection suddenly appeared here, looking at the four people walking in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.

Since it happened to pass by here, it is you.

Tang You raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

A bug with a yellow-green shimmer on its tail flew past the eyes of several people, attracting their attention.

"woo! Look, Firefly, I haven't seen this thing in years." The man who complained earlier shouted happily.

Looking further away, in the darkness, many fireflies are flying in groups, flying over the shoal water and heading towards the stone wall, as if brilliant stars are spinning.

"So beautiful."

The four were amazed.

But an older person was suddenly taken aback and said to the others in surprise, "But this is November?"

The rest of the people immediately looked over in confusion: "Yes, it's November, what's wrong?"

"Use your brain to think about it, how can there be fireflies that are still glowing in November?" The man raised his voice.

Hearing this, the rest of the people also reacted and looked over in surprise.

The firefly at the forefront landed somewhere on the stone wall, but it disappeared quickly, only a faint light was still showing.

"This part belongs to Area 01. We checked it earlier. Isn't the rock wall flat? Where did the gap come from?" Someone asked inexplicably.

"Maybe it's the dent eroded by the rain. Looking up and looking up is a flat side. It's more common to see the groove when you look down. Wait..."

The speaker suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth.

One after another, the fireflies drilled into the "hidden" gap, and the yellow-green shimmer that escaped gradually reflected the outline of the gap, and it was clearly—

Holy Shield Logo!

...

When Edgar and the others received the news, they couldn't help feeling a little ridiculous on their way here.

Area 01 was the place they believed to be the most consistent, and they were the first to search.

However, the events of 5.3 are always dramatic, and the trace of the Holy Shield, which was hard to find and could not be found, actually appeared in front of the ninth district in such a strange way.

When the group arrived at the shoal, several high-power light bulbs had already illuminated it like daylight. The employees who arrived first were using various instruments to test the stone wall.

Chen Shuo, Lucas and the others couldn't stop looking around. Ordinary mountains and ordinary water were unremarkable.

"How's the situation, have you checked anything?" Edgar asked the subordinate who was approaching.

The subordinate hurriedly recounted: "All those strange fireflies have been captured and are ready to be airlifted back to the headquarters for technical research."

"However, when the sound wave probed the mountain, it was found that it was completely solid, and there was no space for people. And the rock wall had no traces of artificial transformation at all."

"The current situation seems to be like rain, which coincidentally eroded the Holy Shield logo on an ordinary rock wall."

"But when we drilled and hit a certain depth, we could no longer enter an inch, and there was obviously some extremely hard material blocking it."

Hearing this, Edgarton stopped and looked at his subordinates: "That's why it's not ordinary. What is the advice given by the experts?"

"Cut!"
