Chapter 494: The Old Man (I)
Although most parts of the planet have fallen into a state of hysteria and strangeness, not everyone has been able to adapt to this increasingly strange world.
More and more strange natural environments, more and more anomalous creatures, and worse and worse living conditions...... All of this is slowly but surely destroying the social order that mankind has formed for thousands of years.
Of course, there are always some places where the painting style is different, such as the scene that Su Xing is seeing right now.
The avatar of the outer god wearing a hard hat was jumping up and down, leading an expedition of more than thirty people, seemingly trudging through the dense jungle. And in this team, Su Xing unsurprisingly found many familiar figures.
They are this, this, this, and who.
......
As a subordinate unit of the Special Management Department, which was newly established less than a year ago, the 'Taoist Law Training Association' is a very special department. The reason for this is that it has an incredibly confusing jurisdiction and a fluctuating power.
Normally, this department is responsible for managing all kinds of paranormal phenomena that occur in the country, but in practice, they are often involved in various inexplicable events for various reasons, so that all kinds of serious situations are involved.
Not to mention, let's take the incident that happened the week before, what was supposed to be a light task to investigate and clean up a haunted house, but in just two days, it turned out to be so troublesome that it was necessary to send out regular troops to evacuate the local residents. It took a whole division of the army and hundreds of superpowers to catch the nearly 10,000 ghosts that had emerged from the spiritual power nodes (which they called psionic enrichment points).
Although the ghosts of these cats and dogs are only a minor illness at most, they still cause dozens of non-combat attrition - commonly known as 'ghost upper body', which is actually a series of consequences caused by the slightly higher concentration of spiritual power entering the body and the human body being unable to adapt.
At the review meeting afterwards, from the chairman to the cleaners, they were not spared, and they honestly made a serious self-reflection. By the way, the staff size of the entire department has shrunk from more than 200 people who have grown with great difficulty to more than 20 people today. The more than 100 thugs who had been recruited with great difficulty were all shunted to other departments under the name of the Special Management Department.
Lu Yusheng, who was walking at the end of the team, looked left and right at his teammates in front of him, and felt a sense of exhaustion inexplicably. Let's take a look at the elite members of the federation who can do it now!
A couple who get in and paddle by relying on a roundabout relationship, it's already a blessing not to be held back; two boxing masters from a certain martial arts gym, oh, by the way, it should be called a superpower martial artist now, the kind that can't do anything but face combat; a certain god-chattering prophet, whose real identity is the president of a super-rich company; a female college student who has a deep knowledge in computers, but often doesn't come in handy.
Lu Yusheng wailed in his heart: Who are these people!
......
Su Xing turned his head a little embarrassed, and after a closer look, several people in this team were involved in his cause and effect. For example, the couple who are obviously paddling the water, to describe it in a more mysterious way, the two of them are simply surrounded by a cloud cover condensed by dark purple luck, and the will of heaven and earth is always watching them, kicking a stone is a beautiful jade, and a handful of water is a gel, which is more than the son of destiny. Of course, none of the above is true. There is no such thing as luck on this earth.
It's just that due to the information interference between them and Su Xing, it is true that there is an extremely hidden 'probability tilt' phenomenon on them. In short, although they have not reached the point of exaggeration of their wishes, they can really do whatever they want on Earth, wherever the spiritual network reaches.
As for the two tower-like men, their situation is also inseparable from Su Xing. The seeds that were planted casually at that time have now really borne fruits that are not green. According to the most primitive version of the strength assessment, these two guys have at least reached the level of two-star ordinary to two-star elites, and they don't know how much higher than the so-called 'soldier king'. And the superpowers they awaken are not too bad, which are muscle expansion and rock making.
Looking at the remaining two guys, Su Xing himself was a little surprised. Compared with the ones mentioned earlier, this prophet surnamed Ye and the female college student surnamed Shen did not have much contact with him at all. However, he clearly saw his own mark on these two people. Although the mark is a little weak.
After a little careful observation, he was speechless. The dense intertwining of cause and effect was truly painful, or rather, the effects that he had unconsciously spread far beyond his original expectations.
It's just a few words, and I've had one or two direct contacts!The self-discipline mechanism of the spiritual power network actually picked out these two guys for some reason, and gave them the status of 'divine messenger' - although it is incomplete due to the lack of Su Xing's final confirmation—and the corresponding abilities.
Ye Xiong, who was scared enough by him and caused a lot of trouble, obtained the incomplete 'prophet' ability, which is actually an enhanced version of big data analysis and future deduction, and Shen Lu's luck is even better, she actually got the ability similar to the 'electronic elf', and can wander around the data network within a certain range, which also means that the probability of her encountering the first level of data life is greatly improved.
And why did this group of guys finally get together, it can only be said that there is a certain number in the dark, and the stand-in messengers will attract each other.
Having said that, what are they doing here at this time? Hasn't this place in Shennongjia already become a Jedi since the spiritual power network was activated? When one or two hundred thousand people come in, they will all be sent to death, just a few dozen of them...... Although he has the aura of Su's father and Su's mother, he is not so self-inflicted, right?
......
"Our mission this time is to go to the miniature mountain that appears in the deepest part of Shennongjia and establish a spiritual energy collection point. "The president of the Taoist Law Training Association, who enjoys the treatment of deputy ministers, and Shen Guchang, who is in the state of meritorious service, once again reaffirmed the purpose of this action.
"Got it—"
"Understood~"
"Okay, no problem..."
The team members replied to him weakly, which made Shen Guchang have the urge to curse again. You can't be grumpy, you can't be angry, you don't need to be like these guys. Forcibly pressed the anger in his heart, he looked at his team members again, some looked like they were coming to the wild for hiking, some were sluggish and didn't know what to think, and some were chattering and playing with their mobile phones, and more were chattering and looking around, where is this like a disciplined and powerful scientific research team, it is simply an unreliable tour group brought out by an unreliable tour guide!
"President, what are the specific arrangements?" Lu Yusheng raised his hand and asked, "How are we going to get through the next section?" ”
Finally having a subordinate who was serious about his work, Elder Shen Gu was very relieved, "Don't worry, our guide knows a path that can bypass many dangerous areas, and as for the rest, it can only be forcibly broken through." ”
However, they didn't even notice that the guide who jumped up and down would disappear for a moment from time to time, and when he reappeared, he was either carrying takeaway or carrying all kinds of things that should not have appeared in this primeval forest at all, and turned the extremely difficult journey into a light-hearted outing.
