Chapter 603 Chapter 605 The Benefits of Black Jade
The domain stone entered Rong Xianxian's dantian, and the induction between the two deepened further. Rong Xianxian tried to enter the misty space inside the domain stone. She was very happy to see the large newly opened land in the misty space. There were several hills, canyons, and lakes on the other side of the stream. Rong Xianxian was a little curious about the new land and wanted to go over to take a look, but the distance was a little far. However, this did not pose a problem for her. Rong Xianxian took out a flying carpet, flew over on it, and after a general inspection of the new land, she left the misty space.
Rong Xianxian took out an empty space ring and collected all the remaining black jades in the warehouse. The number of these black jades was very considerable, and the ones that the domain stones just consumed were just a drop in the bucket. Thinking of the pure soul power in the black jades, Rong Xianxian couldn't help but take a small bit.
Chairman Jingyuan said that these black jades are very important and can affect the combat effectiveness of the entire ethnic group in the future. He also didn't know what the military would use these black jades for.
The military should have stationed soldiers in Heiwu Ridge a long time ago, and after obtaining the black jade, they transported it back to the capital for research. I don't know what uses those scientists found, which made the military decide to mine this black jade on a large scale. However, they did not expect that the mining of the black jade would cause the outbreak of black fog, and the entire Gushizhai area fell into crisis.
In fact, the Black Fog Lake was a huge hidden danger. If it was not resolved, who knew whether the black fog would spread to areas outside Gushi Village. Rong Xianxian had tried to destroy the lake, but all the means she could think of were useless.
In addition to the black jade stored in the warehouse in the middle of the arsenal, the small warehouses on both sides also stored many guns, bullets and explosives. Rong Xianxian put these hot weapons into her pocket without hesitation. After entering the Gushizhai area, in order to ensure the safety of the team members, they mostly used hot weapons to attack the red-eyed monsters when they encountered them. Most of the hot weapons she bought at a high price in the capital have been consumed, and these hot weapons are regarded as operational subsidies.
After Rong Xianxian packed up her things, she left the warehouse, locked the three locks on the security door again, and returned to the safe zone while it was still dark.
But she had just taken a few steps when she realized something was wrong. After just a few steps, she was attacked by three groups of black mist, and they attacked her at the same time. Fortunately, the strength of her sea of consciousness increased, blocking the black mist.
After getting rid of the formed black fog, Rong Xianxian placed the space ring containing the black jade into the foggy space. The rest of the journey was much smoother. After killing several red-eyed monsters, they returned to the safe zone.
Rong Xianxian put the key back into the wooden box and returned the space ring to Commander Tao.
The whole trip took less than two hours. Rong Xianxian gave Commander Tao another antidote and left.
As Rong Xianxian walked out of Commander Tao's residence, she saw a group of soldiers walking on the road carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher was a corpse with its arms drooping and lifeless.
"Brother Li, have you heard that the team sent from the capital has only more than 20 people in total. What can they do with such a small number of people?" said a soldier in the team.
"It is said that they are here to help us evacuate, but I don't know what they are capable of?"
"The fact that they were able to get to the safe zone safely shows that they must be capable. However, being able to protect oneself does not mean being able to protect others. Look, even though they are here, there are still many people who have died tonight."
"No more talking. Let's quickly carry the body to the incinerator and go back. Even though those things won't come after ordinary people like us, the gusts of cold wind are still uncomfortable." The group quickened their pace as they spoke.
As they passed by, Rong Xianxian saw a ball of black mist that was about to take shape. This ball of black mist was emanating from the corpse on the stretcher.
This strange murder case was indeed caused by the black fog.
The black fog will not invade ordinary people, this is good news!
When Rong Xianxian returned to his residence, he asked Pan Yang to stand outside his door. Rong Xianxian removed the invisibility barrier, said hello to Pan Yang, and went into the house to rest.
Early the next morning, Rong Xianxian had just gotten up when Song Min came over, along with Pan Yang. "Song Min, what's wrong with you having dark circles under your eyes? Didn't you sleep last night?" Rong Xianxian asked curiously as she saw Song Min yawning.
"Sister, I went to talk to you about something last night, but Pan stopped me and said you were in seclusion. I was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep because of something on my mind. How could I not have dark circles under my eyes?" Song Min said while giving Pan Yang an angry look.
"Well, I did retreat last night. What kept you awake?" Rong Xianxian coughed lightly and asked Song Min.
"Do you know why there are so few people on the street?"
"I don't know." The street here was indeed deserted and there were not many people.
"I went to see some of my former team members last night and heard a piece of news. Just two days ago, the first day we entered the Gushizhai area, the official attitude suddenly became tough, ordering everyone to return to their residences and not to walk around the streets at will. No one listened at first, so the army arrested many people on the streets and threw them out of the safe zone. Then, the rioters stopped rioting, and everyone calmed down." Song Min said excitedly.
"Oh, isn't this a good thing? It's better to be organized than chaotic. We can prepare to cover their evacuation today." As long as Rong Xianxian returns the black jade to the military, the mission will be accomplished. Escorting experts and assisting in the retreat are just smokescreens. Wen Qingming once said that if assisting in the retreat is really impossible, then forget it.
However, Rong Xianxian had gained benefits from the black jade, and she couldn't bear to ignore the innocent people who had been harmed by the mining of the black jade.
"If the government had taken this attitude earlier, my mother wouldn't have died." Song Min had a sad expression on her face.
Rong Xianxian patted Song Min on the shoulder. No one else could empathize with the grief of losing a loved one. In the face of such grief, all words were pale and powerless.
Before the black fog broke out, the Gushizhai security zone had a population of about 50,000, with a regiment of troops stationed there. There were hundreds of large and small civilian groups, with an average of about 30 to 40 people in each group, totaling about 3,000 to 4,000 people.
After the black fog broke out, the practitioners in the civilian groups who often went out on missions were the first to be affected by the black fog. Those who were invaded by the black fog and died mysteriously in the city were all practitioners. Later, the death toll increased, the authorities did nothing, food was in short supply in the city, and order collapsed. Many people left the safe zone together and wanted to go to the Qiming Mountain safe zone. Except for Song Min who was rescued by Rong Xianxian, all the others died on the way.
