Chapter 1265 - 1264: Great Wall Crossover Show
On the other side, in a small meeting room of the Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room.
Xiao Yuya had just put out the photos of processed leather and then gave a report on the relevant situation.
"I told you, it must be a parallel world!" A middle-aged man declared confidently, "Tigers, leopards, wolves, and bears are all exactly like Blue Star’s, and you still say it’s not a parallel world?"
"Exactly the same... these animals’ furs are almost a size larger than Blue Star’s, and upon closer inspection, there are some subtle differences."
"For example, this tiger skin, the black and yellow patterns on it are obviously wider than that of the Northeast Tiger, and even more irregular."
"The wolf and bear skins are solid colors, let’s not talk about them. Comparing leopard and deer skins with Blue Star’s animals, they seem the same, but the pattern details are completely different."
Xiao Yuya reported, "We invited zoologists to conduct identification, and based on the details displayed in the photos, they concluded that if it is not fake, then the owners of these furs should be subspecies of the relevant animals."
The middle-aged man shrugged, "If a vast ocean can create multiple species, let alone a whole different world."
"The theory of parallel worlds... has it been proven?"
"But somehow it all feels a bit eerie!"
"Can we ask Lu Zheng?"
"Or let him take someone over for a look?"
"You go?"
"Cough, cough!"
"I wonder if there are any animals over there that are extinct on Blue Star? If we could bring back a mammoth, wouldn’t that be sensational?" Someone began to imagine.
"And then?" The leading elder asked indifferently.
Another person spread his hands, "Then we’ll be exposed..."
"Hahaha!"
...
Leaving the folks at the Ancient Culture Research and Analysis Archival Room to find amusement in adversity, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying met Zhang Weili again, and had a small gathering at night.
They didn’t see Zhao Xiaodao, as she had gone out to shoot a film, and this time it was a movie, reportedly filmed on location in Southeast Asia.
"Recently, a lot of movies seem to be shot in Southeast Asia," Wang Han said, who also joined to grab a meal and pay the bill.
Zhang Weili explained, "Southeast Asia has cheap prices and subsidies for production crews. Many special themes can be filmed there, and it’s also easier to pass reviews."
Shen Ying understood and said, "Just like how Hollywood sometimes goes to Maple Country or Kangaroo Country to shoot movies."
"Yes," Zhang Weili nodded. "This time, Little Saber is shooting a cop drama and has set the background in Southeast Asia."
"Is she playing a cop? Can she do it?" Lu Zheng teased.
Zhang Weili said, "She gained some weight for the role."
"That’s quite something." Lu Zheng nodded, spreading his hands, "I hope this movie has better quality than the previous ’Incomplete Diary’."
Zhang Weili couldn’t help but laugh, "’Incomplete Diary’ was already one of Sister Xiaodao’s well-received and popular works recently."
Lu Zheng, "..."
...
The ancient city welcomes the third month, dew reflecting a rich fragrance.
One night of spring breeze, peach blossoms bloom in the sunlight.
...
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying once again ascended the Mutianyu Great Wall hand in hand.
Because it was a regular weekday, not during winter or summer vacation, and the weather was a bit cold, there weren’t many tourists in the Great Wall scenic area.
Compared to the well-developed Badaling Great Wall scenic area, Mutianyu retained a more complete natural atmosphere, making the scenic area feel more comfortable and natural.
When chatting with that female designer yesterday, she praised Shen Ying’s Yellow Crane Tower video. Shen Ying realized she hadn’t updated for quite a while and decided to refer to Yellow Crane Tower again for a short video.
So, after Lu Zheng and Shen Ying returned to Hai City in the afternoon, a new video was updated on Tao Ying’s homepage.
The first thing appearing in the camera was a sky of blue with white clouds.
Then, a powerful eagle flew past the camera, the lens chased the eagle, changing direction to swoop downwards, piercing through the clouds, a long line winding through the steep mountains appeared in the lens.
"Whoa?"
"It’s the Great Wall this time!"
"Finally, the Great Wall, I’m moved to tears, I’ve waited so long for this..."
"This video is so long, it reminds me of that..."
"Yellow Crane Tower!"
"Love it! It’s been so long since Sister Tao Ying was active, I thought she had enough of playing and went back to inherit the family business, didn’t expect such a big surprise!"
The eagle flew out of the frame, but the camera didn’t chase the eagle further. Instead, it sharply descended to a midsection of the Great Wall.
On the Great Wall, sparse visitors wore colorful outfits.
Some men in leather jackets, women in down jackets, elders with canes, and children hopping around.
Everyone was laughing and talking, taking selfies or photos of each other, listening to tour guides or simply enjoying the ancient Great Wall with thousands of years of history.
Then, the camera moved behind a woman in a short pink down jacket and jeans, wearing khaki leather boots.
Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and despite the puffy down jacket, her figure was gracefully apparent. She held a selfie stick, walking and filming on the Great Wall, her steps light, her mood seemingly joyful.
This time, the camera didn’t stay on her back; Shen Ying would occasionally turn around, the sun shining on her smiling face, as beautiful as jade.
Other than her, everyone else in the frame was smiling.
Joyful smiles, sweet smiles, contented smiles, and carefree smiles.
Wearing clean clothes, eating snacks, equipped with modern gear, touring the scenic area.
Soon, Tao Ying walked into a station.
The screen darkened suddenly until it went completely black.
"It’s coming!"
"The climax is here!"
"Warning! Fresh from the back, high-energy alert ahead!"
"Whizz, whizz, whizz!"
Just as the screen lit up, five or six arrows flew straight at the camera in a flash.
"Whoa!"
"Darn, that gave me a fright, I almost spit out my drink!"
"Attack!"
A clear battle cry, and a female general wearing Ming Guang Armor leaped out from behind the camera.
"Hold them back! We mustn’t let them breach the pass and invade Central Plains!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
On the Great Wall, hundreds or thousands of warriors, wielding spears or swords and shields, bravely resisted the advancing barbarian warriors.
On the city walls, there were teams of archers, releasing arrows collectively under the protection of shieldbearers, targeting the enemies beyond the pass.
The camera swung to capture a panoramic view.
This was a Great Wall pass, with several hundred or thousand Central Plains soldiers and generals atop the pass, and tens of thousands of barbarian warriors below.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The female general donned iron armor, draped a red scarf, wielding a red-tasseled spear, charging left and right on the wall, with fighting spirit soaring.
The camera shifted, and it was Shen Ying.
"Beyond the pass are the lives and safety of the Central Plains citizens, everyone’s wives and children, now their safety depends on us. If we let the barbarians invade, it will surely result in rivers of blood!"
The female general shook her spear, thrusting a barbarian warrior off the wall, shouting fiercely, "Will everyone fight to the death with me?"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The soldiers around her had a rising momentum, their roars like thunder.
The female general swung her spear, with the help of surrounding soldiers, clearing the barbarians climbing the wall, then stood on the wall, facing the surge of enemies below, with a composed smile.
"Come fight!"
The sunlight kissed her face, revealing a smile from deep within her heart.
The bright sunlight filled the lens, turning it pure white, and as the sunlight dimmed, Shen Ying’s smiling face reappeared in the frame.
However, at this moment, Shen Ying had returned to wearing her down jacket and jeans, facing the warm sunlight of winter, still bearing a smile from deep within her heart.
