"Just let this fire burn? No need to put out the fire?"
There was flames shooting up into the sky outside, and the fire was burning the forest. If left unchecked, no one knew how long the fire would burn, and no one knew where it would spread to.
"The fire brigade is on their way here. If all else fails, just burn it. There's nothing we can do under these special circumstances."
What else could she do? Without these powerful weapons, they would not be able to clear out the monsters in a short time. The most important thing was to eliminate the monsters. Once the fire started, they could find a way to put it out.
"What happened? Why did the meteorite break?!"
While Lu Chengchuan was chatting, the experts who came out of the car found that the meteorite suddenly cracked, and black mist was pouring out of the meteorite crazily, eroding the camp at an extremely fast speed.
The soldiers stepped forward and pulled the experts apart. Lu Chengchuan stood up. The spreading mist gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Captain Li, go with them." Zhou Yaning knew something was wrong, so he quickly asked the soldiers to take their people away and stayed behind to see what was going on.
The black fog spread quickly, and if they didn't leave, something might happen. Li Shiwen had no choice but to let the soldiers escort the experts away.
The experts were also scared at this time. Just now, there were gunshots and screams. They hid in the car and listened without daring to breathe loudly. Now that something unexpected had happened, they just wanted to escape quickly.
Under the protection of the soldiers, the experts and their assistants hurriedly got on the armored vehicles.
"Do you still want to move the stone now?"
As the black mist drifted toward them, everyone present quickly retreated, fearing it was poisonous. As they retreated, Lu Chengchuan turned and asked Zhou Yaning what to do now.
"Wear it first, and the other things...will come later."
Zhou Yaning handed him a military gas mask. He didn't know if it would be useful, but he just put it on anyway.
As for the meteorite, they may not have a chance to deal with it.
The egg-shaped meteorite cracked into several pieces, and more mist poured out. As the black fog expanded, everyone retreated. The armored vehicles left first, and the soldiers on the outer defense line also received evacuation orders.
Lu Chengchuan and his men also retreated more than ten kilometers away. Before leaving, Zhou Yaning asked someone to take away a piece of meteorite fragment.
The black fog continued to spread outward until it covered an area within a radius of more than ten kilometers from the meteorite.
"Hmm... It's the same here, it's all black fog... Okay, we got a piece... Let's go back now..."
Zhou Yaning hung up the phone with a unhappy look on his face.
"I received news that five meteorites were discovered in the territory, and they all broke apart at the same time. The director asked us to take the meteorite fragments back. If you come back with us, I will give you the things."
Without waiting for anyone to ask, Zhou Yaning began to explain to everyone, and the last sentence was said to Lu Chengchuan.
He didn't come here to work for free. They had already agreed before that the Investigation Bureau would provide him with the martial arts he wanted, and Lu Chengchuan would work for the Investigation Bureau.
In the car, Lu Chengchuan checked his harvest.
Just in this night, he gained 18 years and 61 days of life, and his life span returned to about 30 years.
At around two o'clock in the morning, Lu Chengchuan and Zhou Yaning returned to the Central Armed Forces Department.
Anyang City was not peaceful at night. Not only the armed forces, but many citizens could not sleep at home. They heard the loud explosions outside the city and were afraid that the monster army would attack the city, so they did not dare to sleep for a while.
At the Central Armed Forces Department, Zhou Yaning asked someone to put the meteorite fragments away and took Lu Chengchuan to rest.
Not long after, Lu Chengchuan had a new internal martial arts book in his hand.
Lu Chengchuan spent two years of his life to improve it to perfection. Looking at the series of martial arts on the martial arts column, he has three yellow-level martial arts that can be integrated, but he does not want to integrate them for the time being.
The fusion would consume ten years of his lifespan, and he would not have any extra lifespan to upgrade his level after the fusion, so he planned to save up some more lifespan to upgrade again.
He still had to kill monsters. If he didn't, he wouldn't even have the money to improve his martial arts.
In the morning, Lu Chengchuan did not go back, and Zhou Yaning said she wanted to go to the forest again.
Lu Chengchuan boarded a helicopter and flew to the location where the meteorite had crashed, along with several people from the Investigation Bureau. From a thousand meters above, Lu Chengchuan could see vast expanses of scenery.
Half an hour later, the helicopter returned to the scene. The fire was not put out until the early morning. Now there is a large gray area in the forest, and behind the gray area is a black fog.
"The black fog has expanded again! It's now twenty-three kilometers from the center!"
Zhou Yaning took out a distance measuring instrument. She found the coordinate point from last night and compared it with the current edge of the black fog. She discovered that the black fog had expanded several kilometers further.
Fortunately, there are no villages or towns around the forest, otherwise a lot of people would have to be relocated, which would be another huge workload.
"Have you found any monsters?" Lu Chengchuan asked her.
Zhou Yaning put down the instrument and shook his head: "There are no traces of monsters, and the ground forces have not found any abnormalities."
Unlike the black fog that suddenly appeared before, this black fog covered a large area, but no trace of monsters was found, which was another puzzling thing.
"Strange things are happening one after another. What is going on..."
Lu Chengchuan looked up at the sky. The world was changing too fast. Various things happened one after another in a month, and he still hadn't figured out many of them.
"Fly forward! Fly to these coordinates!"
Zhou Yaning asked the pilot to fly forward. The black fog covered a large area, but the height was not very high. The ground troops measured that the height of the black fog was only about ten meters.
"You don't want to go on, do you?"
Judging from her posture, she wants to enter the black fog to take a look. The situation inside is unknown. Is she going to go in like this?
"The ground troops have been in and no dangerous substances were detected. Mr. Lu, come with me, you wait here." Zhou Yaning not only wanted to go down, but also wanted to pull him down with her.
"Should I go too? Are you sure there's no danger?"
Lu Chengchuan didn't want to take the risk. Unlike killing monsters, which could grant him life, this was a matter of life and death for him. But the black fog before him contained no monsters, and likely no energy cores either. He probably wouldn't gain anything by going in, and it might even be dangerous. He really didn't want to go in.
"Where's all that monster-killing energy gone? Are you even afraid of entering a black fog?"
"How can I compare to Captain Zhou? There are only two of us in my family. What will my family do if something happens to me?"
"If something happens to you, the country will support your family. I'm not afraid of you. I have a big family. If you want, it's no problem for my family to take care of your mother in her old age."
Zhou Yaning insisted on pulling him down, and Lu Chengchuan was speechless. This woman usually looked like she didn't like to talk, but when she really started talking, she was full of words.
"Okay, Captain Zhou, you're more talkative than my high school class teacher. Let's go quickly and come back soon, so stop talking." Lu Chengchuan agreed to fight, just asking her to stop talking.
"Xiao Ling, give us the rope."
Seeing that the other person agreed, Zhou Yaning turned around and asked Xiao Ling to take out the rope.
The ropes were tied just in case. If they really encountered danger, the helicopter would pull them up. The black fog was not a special space, so they could just run out.
