Chapter Eighty-Three: Opening the Blind Box

Li Mo hid in the gap between the two rows of buildings, slowly recovering his energy consumption.

He thought that after the other party left, he would send more men to search his whereabouts, but he waited until the sun was about to set, and there was no movement. It's as if the life-and-death fight that just happened was just a dream.

But there is no doubt that it was definitely not a dream!

Until now, the crack in Li Mo's camouflage uniform was still pouring into the slightly cold (chūn) wind, and the cold and ghostly woman like a snake was deeply imprinted in his mind, and the strange eyes that were breathtaking lingered in his heart.

He somewhat understood why Zhang Changxu, who came to S City with him, resolutely disagreed with him coming to investigate here today, and forcibly waited for the arrival of reinforcements from the Xiaolong Brigade, and his actions today undoubtedly leveraged a hidden lever.

The disaster department guessed that there were hidden remnants of the advent faction in S City over the years, and also realized that the advent faction played a huge role in the process of the knight's rebellion. On the other hand, the Adventists, who had masterminded all of this, must have understood that it was only a matter of time before the Ministry of Disaster became aware of their existence and began to take action.

And the key point of everything is in this time.

The knight was injured and rebelled, Long Mu was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and the situation in S City in a short period of time was undoubtedly the advantage of the advent faction. However, in order to avoid the development to the point of forcible intervention by the military, the Adventists will first choose to keep a low profile, taking advantage of this short period of superiority to accumulate strength and increase their power. As for the disaster department, in the next few days when it regains its advantage or narrows the gap, it does not intend to rashly provoke incidents.

After communicating with the ministry, Zhang Changxu believed that seizing the time to release Ren Yuan, and at the same time adding a capable combat force to enter S City, was the best solution to the current situation. And the preparation time for all this was set for three days, and these three days were a tacit understanding between the disaster ministry and the advent faction.

During these three days, the behavior of the Adventists was a blind box for the disaster department, and as long as it was not opened, nothing would happen. Similarly, the Ministry of Disasters is also a blind box in the eyes of the Adventists, as long as it does not take the initiative to provoke, the Ministry of Disasters is also happy to see that through this short period of peace, it will restore control of S City.

But this blind box, which has both a stable state and a chaotic state, was opened by Li Mo's rash action. He lifted the box and poked his head in, and the blind box, which was both static and dynamic, was identified as a genus (xìng) at this moment.

As a result, it is clear that the Adventists are not only outnumbered, but also planning mysterious rituals.

In the past, the arrangement of the Ministry of Disasters was said to be self-deception or strategic prudence, it was all in the past. As long as Li Mo lives to bring this news back, the disaster ministry will no longer be able to implement the original plan step by step. If this layer of window paper is pierced, then there is no possibility of a steady attack on the disaster department, and the radical style of action will become the main theme in the future.

While it's not a bad thing to find out that the Adventists are making big moves, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad to force up the process in the long run. It is difficult for Li Mo to seek politics if he is not in his position, and it is difficult to determine what choice the big guys above will make, but at the moment, it is obvious that the ministry has lost the space to bargain with Ren Yuan.

In turn, Li Mo also opened the blind box of the disaster department for the advent faction in disguise, even if the other party successfully left his (xìng) life here, the advent faction could not be sure whether he had passed the information back, and then the advent faction would act according to the worst possible situation, and the powder keg heaped under everyone's (pì) strands would explode.

Li Mo became the soldier who fired the first shot when the two armies faced off on the battlefield, and this war, which had been silent for ten years, officially fired its first shot tonight.

However, it was not Li Mo's turn to think about these things at the moment, and there was a major choice waiting for him to give an answer in front of him

Is it to retreat immediately? Or do you want to go deeper and uncover the secrets of that ritual?

He understood that the snake-like beauty had deliberately told him to listen, and this bright and sharp hook was clearly placed in front of him without concealment, as if he was sure that he would bite it. In fact, he did intend to bite it, and without him, the bait on it was too human. His reckless behavior has caused his own side to fall into passivity, so how many clues he can bring back by taking this opportunity will determine how much he can take back the first opportunity against the disaster department.

And everything was within Li Mo's reach, and he really had no reason not to gamble.

Soon he made up his mind, in order to prevent himself from having an accident and losing all the information, Li Mo couldn't care about hiding, anyway, the two sides had already confirmed the existence of the other party, and many things (qíng) were convenient for him to let go of his hands and feet.

He raised his wrist and lifted the folded dial to form a miniature display, and first checked the signal and found that it was completely inadequate. This is not beyond Li Mo's expectations, this place is far away from the urban area, and a little shielding can be a good way to suppress communication equipment. He switched the transmission system to a more energy-intensive satellite system, preparing to forcibly transmit the known (qíng) back first.

After carefully checking the surroundings to make sure that it was safe, Li Mo was about to dictate (qíng) the newspaper, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his voice was so hoarse that he could barely make a sound, and his face suddenly sank (yīn).

The standard communication equipment of the disaster department only needs to rely on a slight vibration of the throat to communicate, and he is not worried that the problem of his voice will affect the report, but for Li Mo, not being able to speak has an unusual significance. Sound is an important way to enhance the sense of existence of self (shēn), and language has the role of communication at the macro level, and is a tool and means to break down the barriers between people.

For Li Mo, who is gradually alienating, he is gradually losing his connection with the world and transforming into a pure observer with no sense of existence. The weakening of his ability to speak is a sign that he has drifted away from the path of the Inhuman, and the vocalization has become more and more painful for him, and when he loses his voice completely, it may be the moment when he becomes a complete Inhuman. Obviously, the ability to use force in the conflict just now has pushed itself from the abyss of the human category that cannot be recovered by a big step.

There was not much time left for him to feel sad at the moment, so Li Mo stabilized his mind and straightened the transparent loop around his throat, and began to report the information he had found in an orderly manner, focusing on the traces and conflicts in the small square. After the report, he buckled the dial, turned off the signal, straightened the line (shēn), and threw all the unnecessary utensils in the corner and hid them.

Taking off his heavy military boots, Li Mo took out the bandage to wrap his feet firmly, and tied the cuffs and trouser legs tightly. The burned left hand had been smeared with emergency ointment and carefully wounded. The weapons except for a Type 92 semi-automatic pistol and three grenades were all abandoned by Li Mo, and he thought to himself that if he shot, he would definitely not be able to finish a whole cartridge, so he simply gave up the spare magazine, and went into battle lightly to prepare for the next battle.

The coming night is the time when Li Mo can give full play to his strengths, and his terrifying observation and hidden characteristics (xìng) that have escaped from the world are vividly displayed under the cover of the night. In the dark night with complex terrain, Li Mo has absolute confidence to be invincible.

And the further back he went, the more frightened Li Mo became. The ruins of the refinery have long since been quietly transformed into a powerful stronghold of the Adventists, and rudimentary but efficient homemade utensils are everywhere, leaving traces of moving goods and engineering work everywhere. It also made him understand why the enemy struck at the small square where he stepped in, and there were so many things that could not be seen in the second half. A crystal detector embedded in the handguard of the pistol passed a slight amount (rè) into the palm of his hand, reminding him of the large number of traces of catalyst activity left here.

"Hell! How did they avoid Skynet observations! Li Mo couldn't help but worry when he saw all this, it seemed that the other party had found a way to hide Skynet.

The frequent traces along the way greatly delayed Li Mo's search process, and in order to confirm where was the location of the "ritual" in Medusa's mouth, he had to work hard to judge the clues. While being wary of enemies who are hiding somewhere, look for the location where the ceremony will be held.

However, what Li Mo didn't know was that Medusa had long expected that he might not give up and go inward, so he simply didn't care about concentrating on the ceremony, and in the time he was struggling to fight with the air, the bloody and cruel blood sacrifice ceremony had been successfully completed in the tightly sealed warehouse...

However, Li Mo's sneaking speed is not slow, if you look at it from the sky, his travel route has drawn an arc, magically corrected his direction, and moved slowly but accurately in the direction of the warehouse, if nothing else, he could have come to the warehouse door before the end of the ceremony.

But it is obviously impossible not to have an accident.

Soon Li Mo discovered some unusual animals, and also solved the reason why he was unknowingly targeted by the other party. In fact, he had already discovered the eyes and ears of the enemy, but he had not been able to decipher the mystery.

If it weren't for the fact that the front was too dense, I'm afraid he hadn't reacted yet, and the reconnaissance methods used by the enemy were neither surveillance nor radar, but a series of venomous snakes that roamed in the dark corners of the (yīn).

March in S City was warm enough, and it wasn't a surprise that a few snakes appeared in the wilderness. As soon as he stepped into the refinery, Li Mo saw a snake swimming through the grass at the bottom of the oil tank, but now there were so many snakes in front of him that it was completely abnormal. On the pipes, beside the oil tanks, and under the brick walls, as far as the eye can see, the poisonous snakes, whether they are day (xìng) or morning and dusk (xìng), have changed their habits (xìng) and are actively wandering in the night, spitting out letters as if looking for something.

No matter how stupid you are, you should see that these snakes are abnormal, Li Mo was worried about how to cross this living blockade line, and at the same time, he was secretly happy in his heart, which showed that he was very close to his destination.

As long as it is a conscious lifeform, as long as it can be discovered by him, then Li Mo is sure that the other party will not be aware of his existence. Not to mention just a venomous snake with a low IQ. These snakes have been domesticated and trained by Medusa, and their small size has avoided the eyes and ears of the ability detectors. At this moment, a large number of people gathered together, and the abnormal fluctuations increased exponentially, and Li Mo could already feel the (rè) degree from the pistol handguard.

Originally able to easily cross this blockade line, Li Mo was about to step over the poisonous snakes under his feet along the road, but unexpectedly, all the poisonous snakes raised their heads and looked at him in unison, and the snakes were suffocated by the sound of squirting in the factory, and countless pairs of triangular snake heads with cold eyes focused on Li Mo (shēn), making his hair stand on end, and cold sweat instantly broke out.

The concealment that helped Li Mo avoid countless life and death crises was seen through by a group of cold-blooded animals with extremely low IQs, which made him unbelievable. Although he knew that most of the poisonous snakes in front of him were not nocturnal (xìng) and they couldn't see themselves at all, it was definitely not a good experience to be surrounded by the eyes of countless pairs of cold-blooded animals.

Li Mo had no intention of exploring how his concealment was seen through, and he retreated after unlocking the ability to draw (shēn), and escaping from this place was the first priority. But what puzzled him even more was that at the moment when he took the ability to draw (shēn) and retreated, the poisonous snakes seemed to have lost their purpose and wandered blindly again.

Next, he found that as long as he used his ability, the poisonous snake could detect himself instantly, and the poisonous snake, which was already unable to see at night, swam in a daze again when he unlocked the ability. Li Mo said in a hoarse voice

"What the hell is going on!"
