Lu Wu walked through the simple specimen showroom and listened to Thomas give a brief introduction to the current situation.

There aren't a lot of things, but everything is enough to shock an ordinary person.

However, no matter how Lu Wu said it, he had also seen the world - speaking of which, the degree of biological mutation in the place of the Banshee Gate was much more exaggerated than here. Even if the animal is mutated, at least it will give you an idea of what it was meant to be. The mosquito still looks like a mosquito when it changes around, and the python changes back and forth and can still see that it is a python, but the mutation on the side of the Banshee's Gate ...... How to say it, let alone Lu Wu, even indigenous biologists can't figure out what the prototype of these creatures is.

The so-called comparison hurts, and after seeing it more seriously, the mutated creatures on this side of the earth don't look so surprising, at least this surprise will not be shown on the face.

Although Thomas's knowledge system has nothing to do with biology at all, he is also the person in charge and the team leader. So all such academic discussions, as well as the reports, data, and documents that come out of it, are qualified to read and be aware of them. After stopping for his introduction, Lu Wu can generally think that the degree of "alienation" on this side of the earth is limited. Moreover, the degree of alienation has not deepened. There is no such troublesome situation as 30 percent of the mutation is found today, 60 percent tomorrow, and 90 percent the day after tomorrow. Most importantly, the scope of alienation has not expanded.

Thomas has drawn a rough area on the map. This is the scope of alienation at the moment. However, this range is only approximate and has not been confirmed. The area is basically virgin forest, with only five or six human settlements. These settlements are only about 100 people, and there is only one small town.

This town, according to the Chinese point of view, is a typical travel town. It is frequented by a small number of tourists who want to be really close to the lifestyle of the locals (rather than going to see the big cities). If there's one thing you have to say about it, it's that it's a place to be patronized. There is a famous temple in the north of it, and pilgrims can stop here on the way to the temple and spend the night or something.

There aren't many travel resources worth mentioning. And because of its proximity to the warlord-controlled areas, the central government has no interest in its development. In short, it is a place where there are no three people, production, and fame. In fact, there are not even government agencies. Or, to be more specific, although it is a small town with a population of more than 1,000 people, it is actually a slightly larger village in terms of administrative division. There is a bus to the town once a week, and of course, there are occasional buses for foreign tourists.

In fact, there's more to this town than that, it's a terrible place. Or to put it this way, whenever there is a conflict in the region, such as a fight between warlords, or when the central government intends to make some moves...... The war will spread to the region. For example, the small village where Thomas is camping at the moment is really too small for anyone to care. But this kind of small town of more than 1,000 people is extremely susceptible.

“…… So, this town ......" When Lu Wu heard Thomas say this, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Yes, lost contact, phone unreachable. Thomas told the truth. "But in this place, I don't know what's going on over there. Probably because of the war, everyone was taken away. Or maybe it's just something wrong with the moving tower. ”

"The words of the government...... No matter?" Lu Wu still asked.

"They don't care about this kind of thing. Thomas replied. "This area doesn't matter what. You see, in order to be able to operate here, I have to say hello to everyone, including the various warlord leaders, and the government. Remember Colonel Zhang?"

Lu Wu had to admit that after coming here, he remembered the two veterans and soldiers. However, as mentioned earlier, Lu Wu didn't think that they were in a circle, so there was no contact.

He ...... How's it going?"

"It's not bad, in good health. And he found a PMC (private military contractor), that is, a private military contractor, to take back his territory. Thomas introduced. "However, the situation is still very unstable, so I can't help much, that is, as an intermediary, I was introduced to the surrounding ...... The leader, by the way, introduced some PMCs who ended their contracts to me as security guards. ”

As mentioned earlier, a pure scientific research team is not in anyone's business, only benefits. So it went well...... Of course, with the introduction of veterans, it will go even more smoothly.

Lu Wu turned his head and looked at Amber.

"We should check it out. Amber said. All the evidence here has proven the artifact thing. It's no longer reasoning, it's fact. The Stygian Sorcerers have brought the artifact of the Gasha to Earth. And the logic of the master's inference is also very reasonable. As mentioned earlier, when you want to destroy the world, you don't really want to kill a few more people first. It's like when a bomber drops an atomic bomb, it's never boring to drop a few ordinary bombs first. So if the Stygian Warlock really went on a killing spree, then it was likely that there was some kind of very big accident. And the biggest possibility is that the artifact is missing.

If the artifact is lost, the situation is very different.

If it was just the Moon Warlock who brought the artifact to Earth, in fact, there was not much chance for the Moon Warlock to capture the artifact. After all, you may have finished their work before you found someone, and they left how they came. After all, the warlocks held the treasures condensed by the magic of the First Law in their hands, and it was actually very convenient to go back and forth between the two worlds. No matter how powerful the combat power is, it will be useless in this situation.

But if the artifact is missing, things are completely different. Kill the Stygian Warlock, and then you can naturally look for it slowly. You know, this artifact is not ordinary. At first, the Radiant Moon Warlocks were a step too slow to get their hands on it. If there is a chance to snatch it away at this time, they are obviously willing to pay a big price for it. After all, this is a one-of-a-kind treasure.

"Go check it out. Lu Wu agreed. If it's a security patrol from Thomas, it's hard to say. After all, it's an armed team, and they may be perceived as a threat, or they may have provoked the other party for some reason, or they may have seen something they shouldn't be watching. But if it's this town, things are completely certain.

The town is a literal civilian. Killing civilians, for the Stygian, is obviously an action that has no value, or even a negative effect.

"Well, Thomas, can your helicopter work?" Lu Wu asked.

"No, I can't. Thomas was embarrassed. "The plane wasn't actually mine, it was PMC. And not here now...... If you want to use a helicopter. He thought about it for a moment. "I need to agree to their terms, and the plane should fly back tomorrow night. But if the car passes here, it will only take half a day. ”

Amber pulled Lu Wu aside, "Lu Wu, that person...... I'll just go and have a look. ”

If you are a warlock, it is estimated that it will only take half a day to go back and forth. She can go straight and save countless miles.

"No," Lu Wu immediately vetoed. "It's dangerous to leave a trail of magic. ”

The last time he was attacked by the Stygian Warlock who called himself Wang Dayong made Lu Wu remember it vividly. According to Amber, her current combat power is definitely weakened compared to her normal state. This means that she was perceived by the other party at the beginning of the day and took targeted measures, then the situation would be very unfavorable. It's a pity that Wang Dayong escaped last time, so it is estimated that the Stygian Warlocks already know about this situation. And then again, even if Wang Dayong died before he sent the news back (as mentioned earlier, he was shot by J, although he didn't stay at the time, but even if he died halfway, it was normal), this time the situation is different from before. You know, this time it's a Stygian Warlock carrying an artifact. It's hard to say whether this warlock is a peerless powerhouse or not, but he is definitely the best among warlocks. And more likely, there was more than one warlock.

To deal with such an enemy with amber in its current state, to be honest, the odds are not optimistic. Although Amber is confident that she can run even if she can't beat it, people can still follow the magic residue to track it down. Amber ran away, Lu Wu might be able to run away, but none of Thomas and the gang could escape.

In comparison, it is much easier to use a car or something.

Lu Wu said his thoughts, and after weighing the pros and cons, Amber couldn't object.

"I'll go with you. Lu Wu said.

"Lu Wu, you don't need to ......"

"I have to. Lu Wu said. Warlocks' strength is limited after all, and although magic can strengthen the five senses, the advantage in this area is too far behind that of the masters. If the Lunatic Warlock has lost the artifact in the town (the artifact is still in the town), then the Lunatic Warlock may have a hard time finding it, but the master will definitely find it.

As long as the artifact is in hand, the rest of the things are not afraid at all. No matter how powerful a warlock is, he is only a limited individual, and these limited individuals cannot pose any threat to the human race on Earth as a whole. When the time comes, you can naturally slowly find a way to deal with them. If you're really in a hurry, you can use the power of the government directly.

Although Lu Wu knew that if he really met the Moon Warlock this time, he would be holding Amber back. But it's definitely worth the risk.

Thomas was not surprised that the two men would leave as soon as they arrived.

"By the way, Lu Wu, I can also arrange two PMCs to help you. Thomas suggested. Although Thomas knew that Lu Wu and Amber didn't need help, they were not familiar with the surrounding routes. On the contrary, the camp has been established for half a month after all, and the surrounding roads are quite familiar.

"Didn't you say you fell out with them?"

"It's just that their captain is asking too much more than the scope of the contract. Thomas admitted. "I can still arrange this kind of thing. Also, the off-road performance of the PMC car is relatively good. ”

Later in the day, the campers soon saw the PMC's open-top off-road vehicle drive out. In addition to the two PMCs who were driving, there were also two guests who came to visit Thomas.

Almost everyone was indifferent, though. After all, as the person in charge of the camp and this scientific expedition, there seems to be nothing wrong with making this arrangement. Who called Thomas the person in charge named by the sponsor?

When the SUV drove out, I happened to see a car coming in from outside. The two cars intersected, and the off-road vehicle ignored it and drove away as soon as it smoked. Lu Wu in the car was also full of concerns, and he didn't look at this car much at all. However, the passengers in this car saw Lu Wu at a glance.

"Driver, driver!" Zhang Yao hurriedly stopped the driver. "Keep up with that car. ”

"Oh. "The driver was a fairly old local, with gray hair. "That's the one you're going to talk to. He didn't look old, but his eyes were still keen, and he saw the silver-haired foreigner in the car in the distance at a glance.

"Yes, keep up with them. ”

"Farther or closer?"

"Farther away!" Zhang Yao said. "Don't let them find me. ”
