As the gateway to the south of the imperial capital, Jinling is only a few hundred miles away from the imperial capital, not far away. Moreover, the entire imperial capital is basically plains, with a prosperous economy and a large population, and there are not many rugged and difficult mountain roads. In the past, as long as you ride a fast horse, you can come and go freely.

Yan Liqiang and the escort Wang Hui rode a rhinoceros dragon horse, running wildly towards the north of Jinling City in the darkness, with the sound of rhinoceros dragon horse hooves like thunder, roaring in the quiet night. Wherever you pass, the roads were cut off and the bridges collapsed. The villages and towns on both sides of the road were all turned into ruins. On the wilderness, with the light of the stars and moons in the sky, you can occasionally see huge craters with a diameter of dozens to hundreds of meters. The ground around the craters were pitch black, bare and could no longer see anything.

Among those villages that have been transformed into ruins, the miserable crying of those who survived by chance came faintly along the night wind, which was heartbreaking. In the wild, in the places where the meteorites fell, you can still see overburning farmland, burning forests, and thick smoke, but no one cares about it. Just occasionally, two people can meet riders on the road who are opposite to them. They are in a hurry, and both sides pass by each other in the night, each with alert eyes, and then quickly leave in the opposite direction...

The more you go north, the fewer people you meet, the more damage the villages you see along the way are, the fewer and fewer living people you can meet, and the frequency of huge meteorite craters encountered in the wilderness is getting higher and higher. Yan Liqiang and Wang Hui, who are riding on horses, seem to enter the unmanned land.

When the road was broken, the two of them took a detour. The bridge collapsed. The two of them drove their horses across. Looking at the current scene in the heart of the once extremely prosperous Han Empire, the two of them had the same heavy expression and mood.

In fact, last night, watching the series of huge changes that occurred after the largest meteorite fell towards the direction of the Imperial Capital, Yan Liqiang had already made a vague judgment in his heart and guessed a little result. Yan Liqiang did not understand quantum physics in his previous life, but also knew about the nuclear explosion. He had never been to Russia, but he had heard some statements about the Tungus explosion on the Internet. In some film and television dramas, he had seen many huge disasters caused by meteorites. The knowledge structure and experience he had accumulated in his previous life allowed him to judge what such a huge change meant at the first time than others.

It was just because he was right next to Jinling City at this moment, and he didn't see it with his own eyes and confirm the final result. He was really unwilling to accept it. He even had a lucky chance and expectation in his heart that he didn't believe it. Maybe everything was not that serious, and there was a miracle that would happen.

After nearly a night of rushing, before dawn, the road ahead suddenly broke again. What's different from the previous time was that this time, a whole mountain cut off the road. The road ahead suddenly disappeared. In addition to the rocks all over the ground, there were only towering cliffs...

"Wow..." Yan Liqiang immediately held the reins, and the sweaty rhino dragon horse stopped and began to turn around on the spot. "Brother Wang..." Yan Liqiang turned around and called out.

"This is Jinque Pass. When I came to Dijing with the head of the palace in the past, I walked this road. After passing Jinque Pass, I walked seventy or eighty miles and then I arrived at Dijing..." Wang Hui rode on his horse, looked at the scene in front of him, swallowing his saliva, "Originally, this mountain was on both sides of Jinque Pass, why..."

"It must have been the mountain collapse here last night. Are there any other roads besides this?"

"There is a town more than ten miles south, and there is a small path around Jinque Pass..."

"Then let's go and take a look..."

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

But when he arrived at the place Wang Hui said, he found that the town was gone and the roads were gone. The collapsed rocks covered everything, and there was only one person wandering among the piles of rocks like a lonely ghost.

Seeing that person, Yan Liqiang and Wang Hui got off the horse at the same time and walked over.

It was a man, in his forties, wearing a somewhat damaged public uniform, without a hat, looking at the rocks with a blind eye, looking confused, but his body was circling around the pile of rocks...

This is the first person in public uniform that Yan Liqiang and the others saw along the way.

"Brother, is there any road to the Imperial Capital here?" Yan Liqiang asked.

Hearing Yan Liqiang's voice, the man finally turned his head slowly, looked at Yan Liqiang in a lifeless manner, with a dazed but furious smile on his face, "It's gone... everything is gone... Xiaohua is gone... Xiaoying is gone... the town is gone... nothing is gone..." After saying these words, the man turned his head again and turned around a rock.

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

Yan Liqiang glanced at the man and sighed, "Brother Wang, is there any way?"

"I know only these two roads from Jinling to Dijing through Jinque Pass. Now the terrain has changed drastically. If you go south, there may be a road..."

Yan Liqiang looked up at the mountain blocking the road and said simply, "If not, let's leave the horse here, and then we climb over the mountain to take a look..."

"Okay!" Wang Hui glanced around, "But this place is not possible. It's too conspicuous. If someone passes by and leads our horses away, it will be difficult for us to go back. Find a hidden place in front!"

"It's still Brother Wang who thinks carefully!"

"Brother Liqiang, don't praise me. I have accumulated such a little experience in walking around the world after decades!"

The two of them rode the Rhino Dragon Horse and walked a few miles forward. When they saw a small ravine, they left the Rhino Dragon Horse in a hidden place in the ravine, tied the reins of the two Rhino Dragon Horses to a large stone, and then untied the essence bag on the body of the Rhino Dragon Horse and put it on the horse's mouth to let the horse eat to restore its strength. Then the two of them began to climb the mountain along the hillside below the ravine.

Both of them had strong physical strength. In less than two hours, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

When the two climbed to the top of the mountain, the sun had just jumped up from the east horizon. At dawn, the first ray of sunshine 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 City is still seventy or eighty miles away, the two people standing on the top of the mountain can already see the situation on the north side of the hillside.

The earth is dead silent...

The imperial capital is gone...

The city is gone...

People are gone...

The village is gone...

The river is gone...

Nothing is gone...

Under such a powerful heaven, even gods may not survive, not to mention the flesh and blood of mortals.

As far as you see, the entire plain on the north side of the hillside was as desolate as the surface of the moon, and no grass grew. The land where the Imperial Capital was originally located was only a huge meteorite crater with a diameter of several miles. Even the trees facing the Imperial Capital north of the hillside fell down, and the entire hillside was charred...

The power center of the entire Han Empire, countless high-ranking officials, wealthy and wealthy families, nobles, and countless people living in this city, countless wealth and endless power, turned into dust last night...

When Yan Liqiang saw the scene in front of him, he felt dizzy on his forehead and his hands and feet trembled a little. He even heard the sound of his saliva swallowing hard.

"It's over... This Han Empire is over..." Wang Hui's face turned pale and he muttered to himself in a daze...

Everything in front of us is undoubtedly the most terrible disaster for this country. Yan Liqiang doesn’t know what will happen later, but what Yan Liqiang can be sure of is that from today on, the fate of everyone in the entire Han Empire will be rewritten, and everything in front of us is by no means a good omen...

"Brother Wang, we... go back!" Yan Liqiang bit his tongue to wake him up.

...

When the two of them returned to Jinling, it was already evening. The two rhino dragon horses that had run for a day and a night had almost reached their physical limit. The two of them had just returned to the yard, and Huang Sheng and Gong Dequan who were waiting in the yard suddenly surrounded...
