"Don't you fly?"

When Cheng Lin's question sounded in the car, Yang Congxian did not speak, but the small lapel of the co-pilot in front seemed to laugh and responded: "There was no direct flight between the provincial capital and Lianshi before. ”

"Hmm."

Cheng Lin was a little embarrassed, he didn't know what to say, he really didn't know about it.

"So let's go to the high-speed rail station?"

"Well, there are some colleagues who are also going together, first converge, and then take the railway."

Cheng Lin nodded, and seeing that everyone didn't seem to be interested in chatting, he also gave up and fell silent.

After a while, the car finally got off the highway and came to the high-speed rail station, and there was really a car of small lapels waiting here, Cheng Lin took a look and found two familiar faces from inside.

I met when I was exploring the projection in the magic capital, but I wasn't in the same team, so I wasn't familiar with it.

Taking advantage of the kung fu to get into the car, Cheng Lin inquired about the news from them, and found that these people did not know the situation in Liangang.

"I'll probably find out the details until we get there."

"Anyway, Director Shen has already rushed over, I believe that with him in charge, it is not a big problem."

They looked quite optimistic, not like Yang Congxian's calm face, nor like those students who were panicked, and they seemed to be talking and laughing.

gave Cheng Lin the feeling that things were not so serious.

……

There was no word along the way, and two hours later, a group of people arrived at Lianshi Station.

When I walked out of the station, I saw the car picking up the station.

A group of people were divided into two cars, and Cheng Lin naturally followed Yang Congxian's steps and got into the first car, still sitting in the back seat, and then listened to their communication while looking at the city through the car window.

To his surprise, the city looked like business as usual and hadn't changed much.

There is no sense of vigilance throughout the whole process as expected.

If anything, there are fewer people on the streets.

The weather was gloomy, wet, and a bit of autumn loneliness.

The person who came to pick up the station was the leader of the 2 group of the Jiusi in Lianshi, surnamed Hu, with a single name and a Rui character, not much to say, but the words were accurate, the words were on point, there was no nonsense, and as soon as he sat down, he began to describe the situation to Yang Congxian.

Cheng Lin pretended to be an invisible man next to him, listening with his ears pricked up, but he gradually understood the general situation.

The incident in Sydney has indeed aroused the attention of various countries, but the spread of news has weakened the disaster, coupled with the distance, people lack sufficient awareness, and the panic is not too strong under deliberate control.

Different from the exaggerated atmosphere on the Internet that human beings will be destroyed in the next moment, in reality, everyone is still living a normal life, after all, it has been peaceful for a long time, and the monsters in Liangang are not causing much damage at present, so the whole city is still very stable.

Only the part of the area near the port was cordoned off.

"At present, according to the order of the imperial capital, the local area has organized the evacuation of residents close to the maelstrom sea...... After Shen Sishou arrived, he directly communicated with the commander of the naval unit in the brigade area, and the harbor area had been blocked by the navy, and the local army was already in place...... As for the people from other departments who are on their way, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive one after another tonight. ”

Hu Rui said.

Yang Congxian's expression remained unchanged: "What about the monsters?" ”

"There are more and more of them, and the strength is also increasing, but there is no monster of that level similar to the Sydney Vortex, the highest one on our side is only equivalent to four grades, and the situation is still under control, just an hour ago, Shen Sishou personally killed one, and he was still lying in the harbor warehouse, which is very different from the previous one, do you want to take a look?" Hu Rui asked.

Yang Congxian nodded, which was considered an answer, and seeing that the conversation between the two was temporarily over, Cheng Lin couldn't help but interject: "It's different?" What does it mean? ”

Hu Rui glanced at him, "You'll know when you see it." ”

With that, the carriage fell silent again.

……

……

As Hu Rui recounted, as the car drove out of the city center along the road, crossed Zhongshan Square, and galloped all the way to the northeast, Cheng Lin found that the scene on the side of the road had indeed changed.

There are hardly any private cars anymore and the whole road is empty.

Checkpoints have been set up on several roads, military vehicles are sideways, and roadblocks have been set up to close the roads.

Soldiers in camouflage uniforms and large-brimmed hats blocked the intersection, and the slight rush in their hands glowed with cold light.

When the car approached, it slowed down, and Hu Rui handed over the documents to pass.

This blockade area looks quite scary, but Cheng Lin feels that its main purpose is only to prevent ordinary people from approaching, not to deal with monsters.

Further in, the entire port is suspended, because the blockade has been suspended, and in the distance is the murky sea.

The weather was gloomy and gloomy.

In the distance, you can see some ships on the sea, with flags floating on them, and there seems to be fog floating on the sea, which is not real, but it is by no means an ordinary fishing boat.

"That's a Navy warship." Hu Rui saw Cheng Lin looking over there and explained.

Cheng Lin knew that there was a naval unit stationed in the Lukou District of Lianshi, and it seemed that it was already in place.

The car suddenly turned right and stopped near a building in the docklands.

Several people got out of the car, and Hu Rui led the way, walked over there, and soon came to a warehouse outside.

There were several cars parked here, and there were people in small lapel uniforms walking back and forth, and the atmosphere was solemn, and when they saw them, they greeted and saluted.

Yang Congxian just nodded, and followed Hu Rui into a large warehouse.

Here is also a blockade belt, and when I turned over, I saw a strange corpse quietly placed on the cold concrete floor of the warehouse.

The corpse was huge.

It seems to be bigger than the one that Yang Congxian killed before.

The overall appearance is even more bizarre, it also has huge tentacles, but the main body is like a worm, and its mouthparts are split into four petals, and blue slime flows out of it and spreads across the floor.

The warehouse is already cold and dim, and with this ugly limb, just seeing it makes people feel uncomfortable.

"This is the monster that was just killed and is comparable to the fourth grade, and it may be a little ...... when you get closer."

As Hu Rui was speaking, Yang Congxian strode over, but when he entered within three meters of the monster's body, his footsteps hesitated for a moment, and then recovered as before.

Cheng Lin blinked and followed.

When he came within three meters of the corpse, he suddenly sensed a strange thing, as if it was a mental interference, rushed to his face and entered his mind.

For a moment, he seemed to hear endless illusory whispers, coming in layers.

Almost instinctively, he instantly activated the "spiritual storm" to isolate this interference.

The whole process only lasted less than a second, and Cheng Lin acted as usual, but he was very surprised in his heart, knowing that if he was disturbed in the battle for 1 second, he didn't know how to die.

turned his head to look at Hu Rui, wondering what he was going to say in the second half of the sentence, but saw Hu Rui looking at him stunned.

Cheng Lin was puzzled: "Team Leader Hu, what's wrong?" ”

"Ah, it's okay," Hu Rui shook his head, just looking at Cheng Lin's gaze suddenly became a lot more solemn, at first, he only thought that Cheng Lin was an ordinary small lapel, and the main reason for speaking the reminder just now was to let Cheng Lin be prepared, but he didn't expect Cheng Lin to get rid of it so easily.

It was enough to make Hu Rui look at him again.

"Is this a mental distraction?" Yang Congxian frowned at this time and asked.

Hu Rui hurriedly cheered up and explained: "Similar, but not exactly, this kind of demon object has a very strong aura, this kind of interference is more like a product of mixing spiritual waves and aura vibrations, there are no monsters before, it also caused us a lot of trouble when it first came out, the impact you feel now has been attenuated a lot, when it is alive, its range of influence is larger, up to fifty meters, and the intensity is also higher." ”

"It slowly decays after death, we have done tests, if you face this kind of monster that is alive, ordinary people can't approach it at all, and once you get close, you will be mentally disordered, babbling, and sluggish...... Only a practitioner can resist, at the very least, stay awake. ”

After a pause, Hu Rui took out his mobile phone again and showed it, Cheng Lin was surprised to see that the signal of the mobile phone was not at all.

"This ...... Is it possible to interfere with the signal as well? He asked.

Hu Rui nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, after testing, almost any device that needs to transmit signals will fail once it enters this range." ”

"It seems that this is an ability that only high-level monsters have...... But okay, this shouldn't have a big impact. Yang Congxian groaned.

Interference distance of tens of meters...... Cultivators can resist interference and can still fight in close quarters, as for ordinary soldiers...... If you use a firearm, you won't be disturbed...... Provided, of course, that this sphere of influence does not continue to expand.

Probably seeing Yang Congxian's thoughts, Hu Rui said bitterly: "In addition, its epidermal defense ability is also stronger. ”

As he spoke, he saw Hu Rui lift the hem of his clothes, pull out a pistol from his waist, and press the trigger on the dead meat, and after a "bang", I saw that the bullet was embedded in the skin of the monster!

Half of the warhead penetrated into the muscles under the propulsion of gunpowder, leaving half of the tail, but it was still exposed.

"This thing's defenses are so strong? A pistol can only break the epidermis at close range? ”

Cheng Lin appropriately expressed a little surprise.

However, Hu Rui sighed and said: "No, the real situation is that when it is alive, the bullet can't hit it at all!" In the past, when dealing with three-grade monsters, it was possible to break through the skin with a pistol, but now it can't, and when it is alive, the skin also has an aura field, similar to the shields created by some of our elemental ability monks, which can greatly resist physical damage, and it is almost difficult to deal with them with ordinary firearms, unless you use a larger caliber weapon. ”

"Bigger caliber? What do you mean......"

"Artillery, torpedoes, even missiles!" Suddenly, a few people only heard a rather masculine voice coming from behind.

Cheng Lin turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man in a military uniform striding over, with a Chinese face, sharp edges and corners, leather shoes crackling on the cement floor of the warehouse, and glanced at his shoulder...... Well, two stars, it is the rank of lieutenant colonel, Cheng Lin thought to himself.

"It turned out to be Lieutenant Colonel Yu." Yang Congxian stretched out his hand.

The lieutenant colonel showed a formulaic smile, stretched out his hand, and shook it, "I heard that Deputy Secretary Yang was injured and recuperated, but I didn't expect to return to Liangang so soon, Yu admires." ”

Tsk, I still speak in a literal way, I'm afraid it's not a clerical job. Cheng Lin complained in his heart.

"The situation is critical, where dare to delay," Yang Congxian said in a flat tone, withdrew his hand, and said, "What Lieutenant Colonel Yu said just now...... Could it be that there is something in the mind? ”

The man smiled: "You haven't been here for the past two days, it's normal not to know, after the imperial capital discussed the resolution, a document has been issued, and the responsibility of guarding the port has been taken over by our department, and then, the matter of fighting monsters will be officially handed over to the military department, as for your division, it is mainly responsible for coastal guards, check and fill in the gaps." ”

Hearing this, Yang Congxian was stunned, and looked at Hu Rui with a hint of reproach.

Hu Rui's lips moved, but she just nodded.

"When was this order? I have not been notified by the Imperial Capital Headquarters. Yang Congxian frowned.

"Just over an hour ago, it was probably a delay in information," Lieutenant Colonel Yu said, then pointed to the corpse, and said in a relaxed tone, "Although the monster looks powerful, it is huge and easy to hit, I heard that your company sent people to explore the sea before, and there were many casualties, which is respectable and lamentable, but now that the truth has been discovered, there is no need to face the enemy in close quarters, our navy's shipborne artillery is enough to block the coastline, and any monster that dares to go ashore will be torn apart!" ”

These words are sonorous and powerful, full of courage.

However, Yang Congxian said in a deep voice: "Monsters are extraordinary, the incident in Sydney is an example, Lieutenant Colonel Yu, we can't underestimate the enemy!" ”

"Underestimating the enemy? No! The other party waved his hand, and seemed to be slightly unhappy with Yang Congxian's reminder, but he still said patiently, "It's just that Deputy Secretary Yang shouldn't be too worried and afraid, we have also carefully understood the matter in Sydney, the main reason is that the incident happened suddenly, the local army did not deploy at all, and only relied on some cultivators to blockade, as a result, super monsters appeared at night, directly broke into the city, and when the army reacted, it had caused a tragedy, and because of the large number of citizens in the city, there was no way to carry out a large-scale thermal weapon strike." ”

"But we're different! Our department has blocked the maelstrom towards the coast with warships! Even if the so-called monster comparable to the seventh grade appears, it will definitely not be able to break through our defense! If they dare to come, we will dare to use cannonballs to make them come and go! ”

After a pause, Lieutenant Colonel Yu said again:

"Deputy Secretary Yang, I know that this is related to the lives of six million people in Liancheng, don't worry, we will never let the tragedy happen again," as soon as his tone stopped, Lieutenant Colonel Yu suddenly showed a mysterious smile and whispered, "Not only that, I just received the latest order, if nothing else, tonight, we still have a good show to watch!" ”

"Fun? What do you mean? ”

"Compared to passive defense, the above means ...... We can try to take the initiative. ”

"What?" Yang Congxian was slightly stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

Cheng Lin, who was always pretending to be dumb standing next to him, heard this, but his eyes lit up: "You want to do something about the space entrance in the maelstrom?" I'm afraid it won't work to rely on ship-based guns, is it using submarines and torpedoes? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Yu glanced at him in surprise and glanced at the clothes on his body - when he came over, Cheng Lin had already changed into a uniform with a small lapel, and he chuckled: "The young man's brain is the light, and he guessed correctly, he really wanted to do something against the maelstrom, but not with torpedoes...... We've tried this and it didn't work out well. ”

"That's ......"

Lieutenant Colonel Yu smiled, but did not answer directly, but pointed at Yang Congxian and said, "Want to know?" Ask your leader, he should be able to guess what I'm talking about, after all, it's in the provincial capital. ”

With that, the middle-aged man strode away with his chest up and disappeared outside the warehouse.

Cheng Lin looked at Yang Congxian with an inquiring expression.

In the provincial capital? What does that mean? He was a little confused.

Immediately, I saw Yang Congxian's pale face and mouth muscles pulling, and squeezed out one word: "Sixty-five base!" ”

……

PS1: Seasonal cold, dizziness, only this one today. After thinking about the plot carefully, I found some problems that I hadn't considered before, so I became even more dizzy.

PS2: Due to the lack of relevant knowledge, please do not delve into the details of thermal weapon combat......
