The summer Rongcheng has always been known for its pleasant climate, from the southeast, the humid air of the Huaizhou Sea, wrapped in the rich aura of the Zhouguo rainforest, passes through the Rongcheng, and is stopped by the Lingshan and the surrounding mountains, turning into rain that nourishes all things, and dispels the heat for the vast area of hundreds of miles.

However, this year, when I visited the humid air of Rongcheng on time, I found myself in the air, and the place where Rongcheng was located had turned into a fertile plain, and a clear river ran through it like a ribbon outside a gift box. On both sides of the river, countless treasure-shrouded construction sites are being developed and consolidated day and night, completely branding this newly opened up land with the brand of the Immortal League.

This pride seemed to be able to move the heavens and the earth, so the moist air stayed here for a while, forgetting the old friends who were slowly advancing westward, and making new friends from the hundred countries of the Immortal Alliance.

And this is undoubtedly a big trouble for the pioneers. It's just early summer, and Rongcheng is already like a furnace, and many urban districts have broken decades-old high temperature records, and from a distance, this three-dimensional city is like a furnace of heavenly kings, burning the air around it to twist and tumble.

The leylines that were supposed to maintain the large array under the city and temporarily adjust the climate were now being transported further west to support the increasingly tense frontier of the frontier...... As a result, more than 20 million people in Rongcheng can only experience the feeling of self-reliance of their ancestors hundreds of years ago, when the great array and the leylines were not completed, and also made all kinds of magic weapons used in the city for cooling and cooling sell well for a while.

Fortunately, in this era of national cultivation, even if it is a hot climate with a heat wave, it is essentially only a slight trouble, as long as the city lord's mansion can distribute all kinds of subsidies on time, the people's pioneering frenzy will not subside at all.

At the same time, in the western area of Lingshan, which is only a hundred miles away from Rongcheng, where the main camp of the pioneer army is stationed, it is a completely different scene.

Outside the fortress, the iron school field, a plain white sand field is open to the sun overhead, at first glance, it is simply a natural rock roasting holy place in summer. However, in fact, the school is full of fresh breezes, fragrant flowers and plants, and the snow-white sand grains are like tiny jade, faintly transparent and cool, making people feel as if they are still staying in the beautiful season of spring.

The leylines stripped from the urban area of Rongcheng effectively supported the magnificent array around the fortress, so that the climate here was almost completely controlled by people, and it was clear that it was on the front line of pioneering, but it was a little more comfortable than the days behind.

It's just that sitting on this comfortable school field, Ma Cong can't have any emotions related to comfort at all.

He looked blankly at the dossier in his hand that was constantly lit with new words, as if he were a puppet man manipulated by light signals, and could only make a regular and rigid sound.

"Okay, the next one, No. 31, Zhang Jinbo."

And with his call, a burly man who seemed to be barely on the edge of middle age approached from the distant queue with nervous steps.

"That, Brother Xiaoma, hello, I'm Zhang Jinbo from the Sharpening Battalion, and we used to ............ in the same camp."

Ma Cong didn't raise his eyelids, and Mu Ran said, "Let's talk about the symptoms first." ”

The burly man, obviously born with thick eyebrows, big eyes and beard, was quite fierce, and was returned by Ma Cong with a cold face at this time, but he couldn't help showing a shy and embarrassed expression, and shrunk and said: "Yes, yes...... This, I would like to ask, around ......"

Ma Cong said indifferently: "Don't worry, as you can see, there is a white sand barrier under my feet, and a radius of three meters is an absolute private area, and your words will not be heard by others." So, let's talk about the symptoms first. ”

Zhang Jinbo nodded hurriedly: "Okay, my symptoms are ......"

As he spoke, he took out a booklet from the pocket of his burqa outside the armor and read out the rules and regulations of the words written in advance.

"Two months ago, my wife and I had a regular conversation with the spirit talisman, but she looked ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ma Cong.

"Okay, the time is not right, this poison has only been released for more than a month, don't blame the poison for what happened two months ago, find your own reason. Next. ”

Zhang Jinbo was shocked: "No, I remembered wrong, it was a month ago!" ”

As a result, as soon as the words fell, the white sand under Zhang Jinbo's feet changed color, and the cool white jade sand turned into blood red, and brought an extremely high temperature, which immediately made Zhang Jinbo jump to his feet.

Ma Cong said indifferently: "In the iron word school field, Baisha also has a simple clear mind lie detector function, so it is not necessary to lie in front of me." Brother Zhang, go back, the problem of husband and wife life cannot be solved by brainwashing. ”

Seeing that the number he had only gotten after queuing for a long time was about to be invalidated, Zhang Jinbo knelt down on the spot and said, "Brother Xiaoma, just listen to me!" My wife may indeed be unsettled, but we have lived together for so many years, and we have a daughter, it is impossible for her to suddenly change her mind at this time, and leave the family behind, she must be affected by the desolation! ”

Ma Cong sighed, but before he could speak, Zhang Jinbo had already kowtowed his head.

"Brother Xiaoma, although I am only a refiner of the Sharpening Battalion, I also injured the Yuan Shen in the vicious battle of the wasteland back then, so I couldn't stay in the front-line troops. I, I don't want anything else now, even if she can't bear it anymore, she must leave. At least, I should also take care of my daughter! That's all I want, you...... At the very least, let me use the Tree Eye, okay? If the Tree Eye says I'm innocent, I won't dwell on it! ”

Ma Cong looked at the tough guy who didn't frown when he was facing life and death, but at this time he was like mud, sighed again, and said, "Okay, but the tree eye is ...... Wait a little longer. ”

"Huh?"

Speaking of which, Ma Cong is really helpless.

Theoretically, for this desolate poison that suddenly became popular on the front line, if we can give a large-scale and all-round overlook insight with the eyes of the building tree in time, and capture all the hidden desolation in time, then even if it cannot cure the root cause for the time being, it is actually enough to treat the symptoms.

After all, in essence, although this desolation is strange and vicious, it actually does not have much actual lethality. When you encounter some people who are more mentally tough, maybe the smile will pass - although the general psychological toughness will not be poisonous at all, but can still be lucky. Those who are poisoned are the kind of good people whose three views are completely in line with public order and good customs.

As long as the route of transmission of the desolate poison is cut off, the rest of the matter will not be difficult to deal with.

But the problem is that, on the one hand, the spread of this absurdity is surprisingly strange and difficult to prevent. From time to time, a victim will pop up from an unexpected corner, although there has been no large-scale outbreak, and there is no need to mobilize the whole army to clean up, but it also makes the desolation spread, like a broken prostate.

On the other hand, due to the strange and difficult to prevent nature, the tree eye can be said to be twice as effective in diagnosing the disease. At the beginning, he was able to capture Shu Quan beside Wang Luo keenly on the boundary line, because within a radius of a few kilometers, Wang Luo's true yuan fluctuations were the most intense, which directly attracted the collective attention of a large number of tree eyes. And under the focus of countless gazes, the readings given by the tree eyes are also very subtle. If the soldiers on duty weren't cautious enough, they might have just slipped through.

Then next, when the vision of the Tree Eye shifted from the deserted border to the mountain fortress area with hundreds of thousands of resident soldiers and multiple composite arrays...... The chaotic and disorderly readings can make the most proficient old professors scratch their heads.

If people can't do it, they can only let the tools and capable people work more, and inject more abundant spiritual power into the leylines, accompanied by vigorous edicts, can stimulate the eye of the tree in a short period of time, with ten times the sensitivity and meticulous insight into every inch of land and every living creature in the area.

In this way, the traces of desolation can be accurately captured in a highly complex environment...... However, the side effect is that the loss rate of the tree eye will increase in a dizzying way, and in just over a week, half of the tree eyes around the mountain fortress have been forced to sleep, regardless of how hard the maintenance team works to infuse the spiritual spring to heal the fatigue...... To no avail. And if the tree eye is allowed to be damaged again, then this theoretically airtight insight network will not be able to perform even the most basic functions.

Therefore, the response to the front line is to temporarily transfer a group of manpower, first do manual preliminary screening, make a simple judgment on the suspected poisoning case, and confirm that there is indeed a suspicion of poisoning, and then hand it over to the tree eye for a separate inspection. In the past two or three days, this trick has indeed effectively relieved the work pressure of the tree eye, and also allowed the staff responsible for maintaining the tree eye to breathe.

However, as more and more people came to sign up for the test after hearing the news, soon, even if a batch was directly screened out by manual primary screening, the tree eyes were still in short supply. For example, now, the file in Ma Cong's hand clearly contains an urgent notice from the rear, saying that there is no tree eye available, and asking him to temporarily stop accepting new people.

But seeing the long queue waiting for the call on the school field, Ma Cong was very skeptical, can this really stop?

In other words, the above-mentioned manual preliminary screening of the most capable Shenfeng Battalion soldiers transferred back from the front line to be responsible for this matter, I am afraid it is not only because they have the keenest perception of desolation, but also because once the situation is unstable, at least they can not suffer losses when they fight with the troublemakers......

In desperation, Ma Cong didn't explain more to Zhang Jinbo, only said: "If you don't want to wait, you can go to the next ......."

"I want to wait, I want to wait! Just give me a lineup! I can wait, totally wait! ”

Zhang Jinbo thanked him for a long time, and he wanted to kneel and kowtow again, but Ma Cong waved his hand and blew Zhang Jinbo away with a merciless wind.

Then, he looked down at the file in his hand, and he no longer knew whether to call the next number one or not.

Zhang Jinbo is a good talker in the end, and he can use a procrastination trick to deal with the past, but others may not. And when Zhang Jinbo left the barrier, the excitement on his face was full of joy, and he definitely couldn't hide it from others. As a result, the people in the queue will inevitably be encouraged, and then be prepared to fight to the death.

So his next job is probably a bit difficult...... It's no wonder that Gong Daozi warned him from the beginning that he must not show the slightest emotion in the process of artificial preliminary screening, even if he treats his comrades, he must be as ruthless as he treats desolate demons.

Fortunately, at this moment, a soldier who was also in the same armor and green and whose momentum was ten times better than Ma Cong's, stepped on the rainbow light and fell from the sky.

As soon as Ma Cong raised his head, he was surprised: "Captain? ”

The person who came was Ma Cong's direct boss, and Chang Feiran, who had the reputation of the king of soldiers. Although his military rank was not high, he enjoyed great prestige at the front, even better than the candidate for marshal like Han Egami. With his appearance, the queue on the school ground, which was originally slightly restless, suddenly calmed down.

Chang Feiran glanced at Ma Cong, also a little helpless, and sighed: "You go and rest for a while, this morning's reception, I feel that you are going to be overdrawn." ”

Ma Cong arched his hand: "In front of the captain, I won't be strong." It's really physically and mentally exhausting, and I couldn't have thought of it before taking this errand...... The situation will be so dire. ”

Chang Feiran couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, when I just received the secret text from my superiors explaining this desolation, I thought I had been poisoned and hallucinated. Later, when I received the order to be transferred back here from the border to be in charge of reception, I wondered if the commanders of the fortress had been poisoned en masse and began to do the opposite...... But looking at it now, I have to admire Wang Shanzhu's keen perception and the marshal's decisiveness. Although the situation is bad, it is still under control. Okay, let's not talk about it, let's go rest, I'll support you for a while. ”

"Ah, Captain, are you coming?"

"Well, you can't just watch your brother charge forward and do the dirty work, right? Anyway, I don't plan to be promoted to any general in the future, I don't need to care so much about face and popularity, while the false name on my body has not yet expired, it is best for me to play blackface. ”

After speaking, Chang Feiran patted Ma Cong's shoulder and pushed him again: "Go, take a good rest, and if you have spare energy, you will study the method of rejuvenating and pulling out the wilderness, you are quite talented in this way, maybe you can achieve miraculous feats and open up a thaumaturgy beyond the eye of the tree, and then you will be able to leave a name in history." ”

Ma Cong really didn't have the strength to accompany the joke at this time, and was only moved by the captain's care for him, and gave him a serious military salute, and then quietly withdrew to the dormitory area of the fortress, ready to eat some spiritual food, and rest for a while.

But in fact, at the moment he left the Iron Word Schoolyard, when he was no longer stared at with fiery eyes by the hundreds of crowded numbering people, the exhaustion on his body had already disappeared.

The manual primary screening is not so tired that it will rest. So after a short period of pranayama, Ma Cong carefully folded the spiritual food package and decided to go to the green wood garden of the fortress to put some pressure on those who maintained the eye of the tree. If they can improve the turnover efficiency of the tree eye a little more, the soldiers of the Shenfeng Battalion will not have to work so hard to dress up in black on the school field.

As soon as he walked out of the dormitory area of the Shenfeng Camp, he saw a middle-aged uncle wearing a white robe and a green shawl walking towards him. The green and white dress is the staff uniform of the person who maintains the eyes of the trees around him in the green wood garden, and the uncle is not a stranger, and he is even famous in this fortress.

After all, just yesterday, Gong Daozi took a few brothers to the Green Wood Garden to complain that he was passive and slacking off his work, and he was not good at maintaining the tree eye, which caused Gong Daozi to have to be a grandson on the white sand for a night......

This middle-aged uncle, although he has worked in the Green Wood Garden for many years and has a lot of experience, and in the past, his work and reputation for others were not bad, but in the past few days, when the front line was the most important, he inexplicably showed a kind of middle-aged social animal greasy feeling, doing everything slowly, and often wandering around the world when others burned their eyebrows, which made people angry when they saw it.

Seeing him happy at this time, Ma Cong could hardly have a good face, and he was greeted with a sneer.

"Yo, Uncle Lin, what's so happy? Speaking of which, it also makes me feel happy and relieve fatigue. ”

But I heard Uncle Lin laugh: "Don't worry, I know what you want to say, Uncle Lin's work efficiency was indeed a little worse a few days ago, which caused you a lot of trouble." But my problem has been solved now, and from today onwards, I will definitely work overtime to make the tree eye in front of you enough! ”

These words made Ma Cong's arrogance disappear, and he even felt a little inexplicably panicked.

"Oh, then, that's good......"

After a pause, he felt that it was a bit rude to end the topic like this, so he had nothing to say: "What kind of situation did Uncle Lin encounter a few days ago, is he working sick?" Then, we may have been a little impulsive to speak before, so I can't help but say sorry first. ”

Uncle Lin waved his hand vigorously and shook his head: "Oh, you don't have to, you're welcome!" It's not my fault, it's just ...... It's just a little bit of a family affair. You know my wife, right? The one who came with me in Greenwood Garden! I used to like to talk to people.,These days it's suddenly become like a special brain in water.,I'm going to read from morning to night when I'm looking for something.,Sleep without stopping.。 I don't have any heart to work on this. Fortunately, I couldn't help it just now, so I cut off her head, and sure enough, it was much easier all of a sudden, hahaha! ”
