"The ...... of the forces of evil Distribution? ”

"Yes."

Shu Changshan nodded solemnly: "You can understand it this way." At this stage, the distribution of evil forces in this mountainous area can be regarded as the background environment. Then, block off the area so that the background environment remains the same. When it's time for the monsters to perform a ritual, the ritual will cause some fluctuations in the background environment.

Combined with our side of the situation, I was able to see what had changed by reinforcing my inspiration through rituals and comparing it with the same background environment that had not changed before. And that's where the monsters gather and perform rituals to try to provide guidance to the spirits. When the time comes, how to destroy them is your business. ”

This set of rhetoric...... It seems to make logical sense.

However, in the face of Shu Changshan's request, Lu Ming's brows still furrowed slightly.

Compared with Shu Changshan's rhetoric and the logic behind it, he pays more attention to the impact of these demands on human society.

The first three requirements are not difficult to achieve. Only the fourth, if this area of about 2,000 square kilometers is blocked, the impact on society will be relatively large.

In the early search, Lu Ming had already roughly memorized the topography and population distribution of this area.

In this mountainous area of Minami Kuriya Mountain, there are seven large highways and three railways passing through it. As for the paths, it is impossible to count.

Although the permanent population of this mountainous area is relatively small, there are as many as 16 natural villages, as well as 3 scenic spots, 12 forest ranger stations, a laser research institute, two botanical research institutes and two wildlife research institutes, as well as several other miscellaneous institutions.

To block off so many villages, roads, and institutions is too much.

Or you can keep as many villages and institutions out of the lockdown zone as possible by further improving the precision, but at least those roads and railways can't be excluded.

"Mr. Shu, if that's the case...... There are too many people and infrastructure to lock down. ”

Lu Ming pondered the language: "Is there a way to block some places less?" For example, do some improvement in the rest of the aspects, find more blood and so on? ”

Shu Changshan pondered for a moment and said, "In some places on the edge of the mountains, if you strengthen your search and patrol to ensure that the monsters don't put the ritual site there, it is indeed possible not to lock it down." But your people must not go into the mountains. Otherwise, it will affect my spiritual power, and I will not be able to perceive it accurately. ”

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Those in the mountains have fewer people and fewer villages. Most of the villages and institutions are located on the edge of the mountains. If the periphery had not been cordoned off, almost 10 villages would have been spared the fate of being locked down.

Zhang Dingshan said: "What about the road? ”

There are seven large highways and three railways, and I don't know how many people, goods, vehicles and wealth pass through them every day. Blocking them is no joke. Even with the authority of the Second Action Team, and even the Operations Division, it feels a little tricky.

Shu Changshan groaned: "If you want to talk about the railway, you can leave it alone. After all, the railway is closed, and there will be no people in the middle, so how to come and how to go, it will not interfere with my inspiration. It's a highway......"

He Wei perked up: "The seven large highways are also closed. It's all highways, and there are no crossings in between. ”

Shu Changshan was a little embarrassed: "If you don't block it, you can barely do it." However, the number of people collecting blood needs to be increased to 20. Try to make up for it. Also, there is no way to do it on small roads, they have to be blocked. ”

"That's fine." Zhang Dingshan immediately expressed his position.

Anyway, after the blockade of those villages and institutions, it is estimated that there are not many people on these small roads. Even if all are blocked, the impact will be limited and within acceptable limits.

】

He Wei had already hurriedly retrieved the map. Following the map, several people discussed and circled the area and scope that needed to be blocked. In the end, it was calculated that within the blockade area, there were five natural villages, one scenic spot, one plant and animal research institute, six forest ranger stations, and three miscellaneous institutions, with a total population of less than 5,000.

If you block these institutions and villages, the impact will not be great. There is only one that makes Lu Ming feel a little embarrassed.

Nanli Laser Research Institute.

It is located more than a dozen kilometers deep into the blockade area, near the summit of a mountain. It is a research institute affiliated with a world-renowned university, and it was finally selected here because it pays more attention to air quality and light pollution, and then considers factors such as transportation and the environment.

In total, hundreds of researchers and dozens of administrative staff work here.

No matter how you demarcate the blockade area, the Nanli Laser Research Institute will be included in the blockade area. At the same time, because of its high level, the second team alone no longer has the authority to block it for more than ten days.

At the very least, Director Li Wenhua is qualified to issue this order.

Or......

Lu Ming pondered the language: "If you want to block this area, it's not impossible to do it. That is, can all the people who were originally in this area be temporarily relocated? ”

Take this laser research institute for example. It is difficult to lock so many people in the institute for more than ten days. But if they are allowed to suspend their work for more than ten days, and do not leave anyone there during this time, they can do it with the authority of the second team of operations.

As well as those villages, on the grounds that "geological exploration agencies predict a high probability of geological disasters", the villagers can be temporarily relocated without hidden dangers. It's much easier than locking them up in the village and not letting them out.

Shu Changshan shook his head: "If it's someone who comes here occasionally, then you can move away." Those who have lived here for a long time, who work and live here, cannot be moved. Because, these people have become part of the spiritual power of this area. Moving away hastily will disturb the spiritual power and make my inspiration incomprehensible. ”

Although they didn't understand Shu Changshan's words, several people could still understand his conclusions.

"There's one more problem. Wouldn't it be dangerous to lock so many people together with those monsters? ”

"No, it won't. At this critical juncture, monsters aren't stupid enough to kill and expose themselves. ”

After getting this answer, Zhang Dingshan said, "Okay." I got it. ”

He didn't directly promise Shu Changshan to do so. This requires further internal discussions.

Shu Changshan left for the time being, to further refine the ceremony he was about to hold. Zhang Dingshan and the three of them stayed in the room, each silent.

After a moment, Lu Ming said: "If Shu Changshan insists on a complete blockade and there are no follow-up compromises, there is no need for us to hesitate here, just refuse directly." ”

He Wei frowned and said, "I still don't believe in Shu Changshan's set. However, if his plan is not very involved, then try it, anyway, there is nothing to lose. ”

Zhang Dingshan knocked on the table.

"Now that you have made up your mind to follow the path of Shu Changshan for the time being, don't hesitate. Whether it works or not, try it and then say. ”

Herein lies the crux of the matter. Since the consequences are bearable, and if you try it, you may even get higher returns, so why not give it a try?

"I feel like it's better to be safe."

Lu Ming pondered and said: "In any case, once Shu Changshan's plan is implemented, objectively speaking, we can be regarded as leaving space and time for the monsters. I'm worried about what they're going to do during this time, like...... Lay siege to a village or an institution and sacrifice those inside? ”

Although Shu Changshan believes that this situation will not occur, he has to consider this possibility.

He Wei thought for a moment and said, "This problem is easy to solve. First, in those villages, people who had received military training were selected to form temporary village guards and distributed weapons to them. I've checked, and there are veterans in these villages. There are also security teams in those agencies.

Second, mobilize satellite resources to closely monitor changes in these villages and institutions from space. With our resources, we can take an average of five centimeters of photos every half an hour for each village and institution. Even if it's dark, don't be afraid, satellites can do low-light shooting.

What kind of spiritual power are you afraid of disturbing when flying a drone, and a satellite in space will never do it, right?

Third, each place is set up with multiple emergency alarm devices, once there is a change, the alarm is immediately alarmed. No matter how powerful the monsters are, they won't make it impossible for people to even trigger an alarm. By the way, the alarm signal is communicated by satellite so as not to be cut off. ”

Lu Ming cheered up: "Okay." In this way, there will be no worries at all. In this case, I don't think there is a need to distinguish between temporary stay and long-term residence, just lock it down together. ”

If you want to block some people anyway, then just block them all.

"Okay, just apply to Li."

Under the gaze of the two, Zhang Dingshan took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Wenhua's phone. After listening to Zhang Dingshan talk about the progress he has made at this moment, the clues and intelligence he has obtained, and the next arrangements, Li Wenhua was silent for a moment on the other side of the microphone.

After that, he said in a somewhat tired voice: "I don't know if it's your team's bad luck or what, why this tricky eucalyptus can always be touched by you." Other squads don't necessarily meet once in their entire careers. ”

Zhang Dingshan said: "This may be a little unlucky for our team. But for our civilization, I think it's a blessing. ”

"Lucky?"

"All of us should be glad that this eucalyptus is for us to deal with, not for other squads. If our squad can't handle it well, then ...... No squad can handle it. ”

Zhang Dingshan's tone was calm, but his words were full of undisguised confidence.

"What a big breath." Li Wenhua had a hint of a smile in his voice: "Okay." I agreed to your request. However, there is one thing, you two teams must understand that this Shu Changshan has not come up with strong evidence so far. The so-called Demon Eye, Star Spirit, Light Chaser, World Destroyer, etc., are all his words. I have no objection to you following his path for the time being and giving it a try, but you must be clear in your hearts, listen to his words and watch his deeds, and do not believe them all. ”

"Yes."

Li Wenhua made almost the same judgment as several members of the second action team.

At the same time, it is obvious that although Li Wenhua has shown sufficient attention to this case, he still has certain doubts in his heart about whether this case involves the "destruction of the world," and he does not fully believe it. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid his tone wouldn't have been so relaxed.

Of course, there may also be reasons for the confidence in the second team.

After finalizing this matter, Lu Ming immediately notified Shu Changshan and determined that the lockdown period would start at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

Of course, the relevant lockdown notices will be issued now. The reason for this is to allow a buffer period mainly for the delivery of supplies and for urgent matters, such as when someone needs urgent treatment.

By 10 a.m. the next day, the narrow, slightly curved mountain range, which was about 40 kilometers wide at its widest point and about 70 kilometers at its longest, and several villages and institutions in it were officially under lockdown.

All personnel remaining in the area have been strictly ordered not to leave their village or institutional area for any given reason of a military operation. If there is an urgent matter, it is necessary to contact the outside world immediately, report to the command department for discussion, and then make a decision.

In addition, a temporary village protection team has been set up, weapons have been distributed, emergency warning devices have been installed, and satellite observation resources in space have been allocated in place.

In response to this sudden lockdown order, thousands of people in total showed unexpected obedience. Except for a few people who were more strongly dissatisfied, but who were dissuaded by the grassroots staff and calmed down their anger, the others complained at most, and then accepted the result.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that the second team of operations deliberately applied for a large amount of funds, which will be distributed to everyone in the name of lost time pay and compensation after the mission is completed.

In short, this is how the matter is settled.

After that, here at the temporary base, two helicopters took off with a roar, one carrying Shu Changshan, Zhang Dingshan, Lu Ming, and He Wei, and the other carrying several guards, flying towards the deep mountains of Nanli Mountain.

On the plane, Shu Changshan looked at the mountains and vegetation below, and from time to time sketched some characters in his notebook that only he understood. Sometimes he would ask the helicopter to land on the ground, and if he didn't have the conditions to land, he would rappel down and take a closer look at something on a certain hill or hillside.

Sometimes, he would use some bone meal prepared in advance - these bone meal are made from human bones, according to him, the bone meal made of human bones has a special spiritual power - sprinkled into the air, to observe in which direction they fall under the wind of the mountain wind, what shape they have after falling on the ground, where there are many falls, where there are few falls, and so on, very detailed.

In some places, he will also release some flying insects such as flies, mosquitoes, bees, etc., and observe their movements to see where they fly and where they land.

After a busy day, surveying dozens of places in the deep mountains, Shu Changshan's brows gradually wrinkled.

After surveying another place, he finally said, "Sergeant Zhang, you still need to stop all the signal towers and network communications in this area. ”

This request made Lu Ming really a little incomprehensible.

"Their interference is too great, and the disturbance of the spiritual power in this area is too great."

Lu Ming frowned and said, "Radio signals and network communication will disturb spiritual power?" ”

"Yes." Shu Changshan said: "In the occult sense, light, especially invisible light, is a very special symbol. ”

Lu Ming closed his mouth stupidly.

Radio waves are also light, and in a physical sense, there's nothing wrong with that.

Now that you have achieved this step, it is okay to go one step further and cut off the network communication. It's a big deal to compensate a little more later, and make up for the people who don't have the Internet in the blockade area and can't go out.

As for the emergency alarms, don't worry. They are on satellite communications, not cell towers.

Zhang Dingshan said in a low voice: "Every organization and every village will be allocated a satellite phone for emergency contact." ”

"Yes."

After doing these things, Shu Changshan commanded the helicopter to fly in the mountains and jungles for several hours, and surveyed more than a dozen places, before finally saying, "Okay." You can go back. ”

Lu Ming said: "What should we do next?" ”

"Wait."

Shu Changshan also seemed to have confidence at this moment: "Wait for the spiritual power of this area to settle down." The more they precipitate, the more obvious the disturbance of the spiritual power caused by the monsters' rituals in the later stage. ”
