Chapter 306

As the gateway to the south of the imperial capital, Jinling is only hundreds of miles away from the imperial capital, which is not far. Moreover, the whole imperial capital is basically a plain area with developed economy and large population. There are not many rugged mountain roads. In the past, as long as you ride a fast horse, you can come and go freely.

Yan Liqiang and Wang Hui, the escort, rode rhinoceros dragons and horses in the dark. They ran towards the north of Jinling City. Rhinoceros dragons' hoofs roared like thunder in the quiet night. Where they passed, roads were cut off and bridges collapsed. All the villages and towns on both sides of the road were turned into ruins. On the wilderness, with the light of stars and moon in the sky, From time to time, you can also see huge craters with a diameter of tens of meters to hundreds of meters. The ground around the crater is dark and bare, and you can no longer see anything.

Among the villages that were reduced to ruins, the sad cries of those who survived faintly came along the night wind, which was worrying. In the wild, where the meteorites fell, you can still see the burning farmland, burning mountains and forests, thick smoke rolling, but no one paid attention, only occasionally, Two people can meet riders who are opposite to them on the road. They are in a hurry. Both sides pass by in the night, look at each other on guard, and then leave quickly in the opposite direction

The more you go north, the fewer people you meet, the greater the damage to the villages you see along the way, the fewer and fewer living people you can meet, and the higher the frequency of huge meteorite craters you encounter in the wilderness. Yan Liqiang and Wang Hui on horseback are more and more like entering a no man's land.

When the road was broken, the two people took a detour, the bridge collapsed, and the two people directly drove their horses to swim. Looking at the current scene in the hinterland of the once prosperous Han Empire, their faces and hearts were the same heavy.

In fact, last night, watching a series of great changes after the largest meteorite fell towards the imperial capital, Yan Liqiang had a vague judgment in his heart and guessed some results. Yan Liqiang didn't understand quantum physics in his previous life, but he also knew about nuclear explosions. He hadn't been to Russia, but he heard some statements about the Tungusic explosion on the Internet, In some film and television plays, he has seen many great disasters brought by meteorites. The knowledge structure and experience precipitated in his last life enable him to judge what such great changes mean at the first time than others.

Just because he is at the edge of Jinling City at the moment, he is not willing to see it with his own eyes and confirm the final result. He even has a fluke and expectation in his heart that he doesn't believe in himself - maybe everything is not so serious, and miracles will happen.

After nearly a night's journey, before dawn, the road ahead suddenly broke again. Different from the previous time, this time, the whole mountain cut off the road. The road suddenly disappeared. On the road ahead, except for the rubble on the ground, there are only towering cliffs

"Whoa..." Yan Liqiang suddenly stopped the reins, and the sweaty rhinoceros horse stopped and began to turn around, "brother Wang..." Yan Liqiang turned back and shouted.

"This is the Jinque pass. This is the way I used to go when I came to Dijing with the escort leader. After passing through the Jinque pass, I will go seven or eight miles to Dijing..." Wang Hui rode on his horse, looked at the scene in front of him and swallowed his saliva. "Originally, the mountain was on both sides of the Jinque pass. Why..."

"There must have been a landslide here last night. Is there any other way besides here?"

"There is a town more than ten miles to the south, where there is a path around Jinque pass..."

"Let's go and have a look..."

"OK..." Wang Hui turned his horse's head and continued to run south along the foot of the mountain. After a while, he ran more than ten miles.

But when we got to the place mentioned by Wang Hui, we found that the town was gone and the roads were gone. The collapsed rocks covered everything. Only one person was wandering in a mess of stones like a lonely ghost.

Seeing the man, Yan Liqiang and Wang Hui dismounted at the same time and walked over.

It was a man in his forties, wearing a slightly damaged public uniform for criminal arrest without a hat. He looked at the rubble with blank eyes, but his body was turning around in the rubble

This is the first person Yan Liqiang saw wearing public clothes all the way.

"Brother, is there another way to Dijing?" Yan Liqiang asked.

Hearing Yan Liqiang's voice, the man finally turned his head slowly and looked at Yan Liqiang with a dull but hairy smile on his face, "it's all gone... It's all gone... Everything is gone... Xiaohua is gone... Xiaoying is gone... The town is gone... Everything is gone..." after saying these words, the man turned his head again, Around a piece of rubble.

"Li Qiang, this man is already a little abnormal..."

Yan Liqiang looked at the man and sighed, "brother Wang, is there a way?"

"There are only two roads I know from Jinling to Dijing through Jinque pass. Now the terrain has changed greatly. If you go south, there may be a way..."

Yan Liqiang looked up at the mountain blocking the road and said directly and simply, "no, we'll leave the horse here, and then we'll go over the mountain to have a look..." "OK!" Wang Hui looked around, "but it's not good here. It's too conspicuous here. If someone passes by and takes our horse away, it's difficult for us to go back. Find a hidden place in front!"“ Brother Wang is considerate! "“ Brother Li Qiang, don't praise me. I have accumulated such a little experience in wandering the Jianghu after taking darts for decades! " When they saw a small gully, they left the rhinoceros horse in a hidden place in the gully, tied the reins of the two rhinoceros horses to a large stone, and then untied the fine material bag carried by the rhinoceros horse and put it on the horse's mouth for the horse to eat and recover their strength. Then they followed the hillside below the gully and began to climb the mountain. Both of them were strong. It took them less than two hours to climb to the top of the mountain. When the two climbed to the top of the mountain, the sun just jumped from the eastern horizon. The first ray of sunshine at dawn finally came to the earth. The two stood on the top of the mountain and saw the scene of the imperial capital... Even though the imperial capital was still 70 or 80 miles away from here, the two standing on the top of the mountain could have a panoramic view of the situation in the north of the whole hillside. The earth is dead... The imperial capital is gone... The city is gone... The people are gone... The village is gone... The river is gone... Everything is gone... Under such heavenly power, it is hard for even the gods to survive, not to mention the flesh and blood of mortals. As far as I could see, the whole plain on the north of the hillside was as desolate as the surface of the moon, and there was no grass at all. There was only a huge meteorite crater several miles in diameter left on the land where the imperial capital was located. Even the trees facing the imperial capital on the north of the hillside where the two people were located fell down, and the whole hillside was scorched... The power center of the whole Han Empire, Countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries, rich families and nobles, as well as countless people living in the city, countless wealth and endless power, turned into dust last night... When he really saw the scene in front of him, Yan Liqiang felt dizzy in his head and trembled in his hands and feet. He even heard the sound of swallowing his saliva“ It's over... The Han Empire is over... "Wang Hui turned pale and muttered to himself... Everything in front of him is undoubtedly the most terrible disaster for this country. Yan Liqiang doesn't know what will happen later, but Yan Liqiang can be sure that after today, the fate of everyone in the whole Han Empire will be rewritten. Everything in front of him, It's not a good omen... "Brother Wang, let's... Go back!" Yan Liqiang bit his tongue to wake himself up When the two returned to Jinling, it was already in the evening. The two rhinoceros and dragons that had run day and night had almost reached the limit of physical strength. The two had just returned to the yard, and Huang Sheng and Gong Dequan, who were waiting in the yard, surrounded them all at once... "What's the situation in Dijing?"
