Chapter 810 Chapter 812 The Dangerous Area of Red Vine Mountain
As Chang Qing finished speaking, everyone in the conference room stood up and shouted in unison, "Defend the honor of the Legion to the death!"
"Okay, now let's talk about the situation in Hongteng Mountain. If you have any opinions, please speak up!" Chang Qing waved his hand and sat back in his seat.
Xiao Luo, who was sitting next to Chang Qing, had been silent just now, but now he stood up and said, "Since the situation in Hongteng Mountain is so dangerous, can't we not go? There are so many unknown secrets outside the safe zone, why do we have to develop Hongteng Mountain!" Xiao Luo said.
"Because there are very important minerals there. There are thunder stone mines in the Hongteng Mountain area. Thunder stone is an indispensable material for setting up a city defense formation." He Wen said from the side.
"The Mercenary Mission Center issued a thunderstone collection mission two years ago with very generous rewards. At that time, the place had just experienced a bombing, and many thunderstones fell to the outskirts of Hongteng Mountain. The number of red vines in the outskirts was relatively scarce and of a lower level. Wearing biochemical protective clothing was able to effectively resist the invasion of red vines. Therefore, it once became a paradise for countless mercenaries and attracted many mercenaries. Unfortunately, the strong smell of flesh and blood attracted something from the depths of Hongteng Mountain. Overnight, the town where the mercenaries were stationed was submerged by red vines, and thousands of mercenaries were killed!" Mingyin stood up and said.
"If it's just for collecting thunder stones, doesn't the military have fully automatic quarrying equipment?" Xuanxuan had seen a robot that could walk on its own when she followed Rong Xianxian.
"A special magnetic field will be formed in the thunder stone area, and all equipment equipped with positioning systems, communication systems, and remote control systems will be unusable!" He Wen replied.
"So, what are the military's requirements of us? Also, do they have any more detailed intelligence to provide us?" asked Feng Xingjia, commander of the Third Regiment.
"The military requires us to hand in 100 kilograms of thunder stones every month. As for intelligence, according to the research report of the Alien Plant Institute, it is currently known that the red vine is divided into at least seven levels, corresponding to the seven levels of human practitioners. Level three red vine can break the defense of Qi Bridge Realm practitioners, level four red vine can break the defense of Blood Refining Realm practitioners, and level three red vine can break most of the types of protective clothing that have been developed so far. The highest level of red vine captured and studied by the Alien Plant Institute is only level four red vine, which is packaged in a bottle made of the hardest metal chromium. It is said that the New Martial Arts Institute has developed a metal protective clothing with chrome steel as the main material and some new materials added. As for which level of red vine invasion this protective clothing can reach, there is no conclusion yet, because none of the mercenaries who went into the mountains to experiment wearing metal protective clothing have come back. This is all the information provided to us by the military. Oh, by the way, we were also provided with 100 sets of metal protective clothing, which will be delivered in three days." Mingyin, who is responsible for information and communication transmission, said.
"I thought that the metal protective clothing must be poisonous. Since none of the mercenaries who went into the mountains for experiments have come back, why do they still give us the chance? Do they want to use us to collect experimental data?" said Wang Qirui, head of the Fifth Regiment.
"That's right. Currently, the average level of the first-generation members of our regiment is at the Blood Refining Realm, and the average level of the new-generation members is at the Air Bridge Realm. Conventional protective suits are completely useless to us, and we don't know whether this kind of metal protective suit is useful or not. Once we get there, whether we can survive depends entirely on luck!" This time it was Li Hai, the deputy commander of the Third Regiment, who spoke.
"The Institute of Exotic Plants has been researching this for such a long time. What is there to be afraid of with this red vine? Have they mentioned this?" Feng Xingjia asked.
"Generally speaking, plants are afraid of fire, but this red vine grows more and more the more it burns! The military once used a super soil solidifier to solidify all the soil in the Red Vine Mountain area. At that time, no red vines grew for three months. The military thought that all the red vines had been dealt with, so they sent people into the mountains to mine. Mining inevitably requires breaking up the soil layer, and as a result, the red vines reappeared, resulting in heavy casualties." Mingyin replied.
"At least before mining started, the red vine was indeed sealed, which shows that the curing agent is useful. If you encounter red vines, you can use it to save your life." Li Hai said.
"Do you think the mercenaries who went mining had never used it? If the soil in the entire mountain area was not solidified, the red vines could grow out from the surrounding areas. What's the point of solidifying the small piece of soil in front of you!" He Wen retorted.
"Then what should we do? Oh, by the way, are those whose bodies are invaded by the red vines doomed to die? How long will it take them to die? Can they be saved? You should know that we have so many kinds of life-saving pills that can bring back the life of those who are only left with a breath." Li Hai suddenly said excitedly.
"There are indeed some who survived, but they would be worse off dead than alive!" Mingyin sighed.
"Most of the known survivors are receiving treatment at the Temple of Heaven Hospital. It is said that they are now in a semi-vegetative state and the red vine in their bodies cannot be completely removed," Chang Qing added.
The conference room fell into silence.
"Do you still remember the dead blood tree that the Seventh Young Master brought back? That strange plant is not afraid of fire, but it is afraid of the Seventh Young Master's black fire. Will this red vine be the same? Ordinary fire is useless to it, so what about the strange fire?" Feng Xingjia said.
"It's not that easy to find the strange fire! The Seventh Young Master is not here." Mingyin shook her head.
"Since the Seventh Young Master is not here, we can look for cultivators with fire attributes to help us, and we also have fire-attributed spiritual weapons!" Feng Xingjia continued.
"I am the fire-attribute cultivator!" Xuanxuan suddenly spoke.
"You can't go!" Chang Qing, Huo Ye, and Pan Yang's faces changed drastically at the same time.
"I, I didn't say I was going!" Xuanxuan smiled awkwardly.
"However, I have a fire-breathing gourd here, and inside it there is a wisp of black fire left by my father. It has been such a long time, so there should be a lot of black fire inside. Take it and use it!" Xuanxuan took out a palm-sized jade gourd from the space bracelet and placed it on the table.
"Put it away. This is what Madam left for you for self-defense. You can't use it!" Chang Qing looked at Feng Xingjia angrily.
Feng Xingjia felt a little wronged. He was just talking about the facts and had absolutely no intention of taking anything from the young master.
