During these space trips, except for the half day they spent waiting for the high priest in Black Stone City, the two did not waste any time and went to Miao Village to get rid of the "plague". But when they returned to Earth, five days had passed.
When she realized that five days had passed, Lin felt a little regretful: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had to wear Zhenzi to get out. We should have gone straight back to Black Stone City."
If they could return to Black Stone City by the same route, only three days would have passed in the outside world at most. Although Zhenzi could directly pass through the space gap and return to Earth, the space channel she built was obviously not stable enough, and the time deviation was a bit large.
Chen Chu comforted Lin: "We may not be able to get back on time."
The time in the space gap is different from that in the outside world, and the Miao village is in a state of stillness, so the high priest actually doesn't know how much time it took them to get from Black Stone City to the Miao village. The high priest said he would send them back to Black Stone City, but it was just a matter of luck. If they found that Black Stone City had stopped after arriving, they would be sent to the nearest sub-space. In this way, it might take more time, so Zhenzi's crossing was not a waste of time.
Lin nodded: "Let's go back to the headquarters first. They must be worried."
Chen Chu hummed, sensed the direction, then waved his hand, created a space passage in front of him leading to the headquarters, and walked in with Lin Xi.
Chen Chu's space passage led directly to the customs office. The customs officers were handling official business in the office. When they saw the space passage appearing out of thin air, they were stunned at first, and then stood up in surprise.
"Did you get the stuff?"
The two had just stepped out of the space passage, and before they could even stand firmly, they heard anxious inquiries from the customs.
"I got it." Chen Chu nodded and handed the metal box containing the Dragon King to Director Guan.
"Great." Director Guan walked out from behind the desk, took the box and opened it impatiently. However, as soon as he opened the box, his eyes blurred and a green insect flew out, then landed on the chandelier on the ceiling with a "buzzing" sound.
Director Guan first looked down at the empty box in his hand, then pointed at the chandelier above his head in disbelief: "Is that 'Plague'?"
Lin Wei explained: "That is the Gu King, and also the 'Plague'. Miao Geyun is a Gu Master, and she sealed the 'Plague' in the Gu King's body."
When Guan heard that the thing was actually a dragon king, and that it was a dragon king cultivated by a venerable spirit, his face turned pale, but he still managed to stay calm and asked, "Can you control it?"
Lin nodded: "Of course, Miao Geyun also gave us the Gu flute."
When Chen Chu handed the box to Guan Chu with his left hand, his right hand had already reached into his pocket for the bone flute, but Guan Chu opened the box too quickly and Chen Chu didn't have time to give it to him. Seeing Guan Chu looking over at him, Chen Chu handed the bone flute to him.
"One blow can call back the Gu King, two blows can seal the 'plague'." Chen Chu said.
Guan Chu took the dragon flute, observed it for a while, then put it to his lips and blew it gently. After a crisp and short flute sound, the green dragon king fluttered its wings and flew down from the chandelier and landed back in the box.
Guan Chu hurriedly closed the lid, fearing that the Dragon King would fly out again. This thing was carrying a plague, which was more terrible than a snowstorm. Even if it was sealed, it could not be released casually.
"You guys go take a rest and eat something first. I will contact Country G and Country L now. Once everything is ready, I will go over and activate the items." Although it was agreed that the "drought" and "plague" items would be activated in these two countries, some preparations needed to be made before activation. It was necessary to avoid casualties to the greatest extent possible while ensuring the activation of the disaster items.
Chen Chu nodded and took Lin Yan to the cafeteria at the headquarters.
Lin finally got rid of the aftereffects of the monk Muyu and was able to eat meat. She ordered all meat dishes in the cafeteria, such as braised pork, sweet and sour fish, garlic spareribs, and chicken with potatoes. She ordered four of them in a row before stopping. If she wasn't afraid of not being able to finish them, she would have ordered a few more.
After dinner, before Director Guan asked anyone to call them, the two returned to the dormitory. Lin Yan took a quick shower and was wondering whether to go to sleep first when Director Guan called and asked them to go to the office.
When they returned to the office, there were two more people in the office, the director of the institute, Mr. Hua, and the prophet Xiao Wen.
Guan said, "Country G and Country L are already prepared. When you go there, someone will tell you where to activate the props. Mr. Hua and Xiao Wen will go with you. They want to see the activation process of the disaster props. I gave 'Drought' and 'Plague' to Mr. Hua, and he will give them to you when we get there."
Mr. Hua said excitedly, "To understand a tool, you must understand how it works. I have always wanted to understand disaster tools, but the consequences of releasing disaster tools are too severe. This is a rare opportunity, and I must witness it with my own eyes."
As a researcher, the activation of catastrophic props is a temptation he cannot resist.
Guan sighed helplessly: "Wilson's Fire will bring four members of the Kunlun team with them. They are responsible for protecting the safety of Mr. Hua and Xiao Wen."
As for Chen Chu and Lin Yan, he was not worried. With Chen Chu's ability, no one on earth could hurt him, and Lin Yan had the defensive necklace he gave her.
Chen Chu nodded. He could understand that Mr. Hua was going, but why did Xiao Wen go? Chen Chu was a little puzzled, but he was not a nosy person, so he did not ask.
Guan: "Go ahead. The sooner you go, the sooner you will be back."
This is only the first activation. There will be another "war" after this, and they will have to enter the space again and again to activate it again.
"Which country are we going to first?" Chen Chu asked.
"Country L, activate 'drought' first." said Mr. Hua.
Mr. Hua thinks that plague is more difficult to control than drought, so you can activate "drought" first, which can also be regarded as more experience.
Chen Chu nodded, the space around him fluctuated, and a space door appeared in front of everyone. Chen Chu walked in first, followed by Lin Nan.
Xiao Wen was walking behind Lin Yan in the space passage. Xiao Wen always seemed very kind to Lin Yan, and was a very easy-going person. She subconsciously asked, "Mr. Xiao, what are you going to do in Country L?"
Ms. Hua came here to see the activation process of the disaster props, which would be helpful for his research, but Xiao Wen couldn't even see it, so she was a little curious why Xiao Wen came here.
"I'm a prophet, so of course I'm going to take some shelter." Xiao Wen said with a smile.
Chen Chu glanced at Xiao Wen and said nothing.
"What are you taking?" Lin asked.
"The fate of the earth after the divination item is activated." Xiao Wen said.
Lin Yan understood that the decision to save the world was too hasty, and the Earth was almost forced to make this decision, and the only thing that could prove their judgment was the prophet's prediction. She thought that it was not just China, but also L Country, and there might be many other countries' prophets waiting to predict the future fate of the Earth.
Even the space passage between countries was not long under Chen Chu's powerful space compression ability. After just a few words, everyone reached the exit.
As Lin Xian expected, many prophets were already waiting here in Country L. The moment they appeared, dozens of eyes fell on them at the same time.
Chen Chu pretended not to see it, and asked the official psychic in charge of the handover with Country L, "When can the prop be activated?"
The man was stunned and asked, "Don't you need to prepare first?"
Chen Chu: "Country L is not ready yet?"
"No, it's ready and can be activated at any time."
Chen Chu asked again: "Where can I activate it?"
"Over there." The man raised his hand and pointed toward a jungle in front of him.
At this time, an official from Country L came over and led everyone towards the destination while introducing the place in English: "This is the San Nila Rainforest, the second largest rainforest in our country. It has sufficient rainfall and lush vegetation, and there are more than 30 species of critically ill animals. We chose this place as the activation site for the 'drought' because this rainforest is very close to the San Dielo River. We hope that after the drought, sufficient water can be replenished here as soon as possible to minimize the casualties of animals and plants."
Lin Xi nodded secretly as she listened, and she also thought this was a good place. If the drought did not absorb much water, and Country L introduced water quickly enough, it would not cause much harm.
"We're here. This is the center of the rainforest."
Chen Chu glanced at it and said nothing more, then turned to look at Mr. Hua. Mr. Hua passed over a stone sculpture, which was exactly "Drought".
"You guys move back a bit." Chen Chu said.
Although "drought" will not cause any immediate harm to humans, he is afraid that the power that erupts the moment it is activated will hurt people nearby.
After hearing this, everyone retreated more than ten meters.
Chen Chu saw that it was almost done, so he injected supernatural power into the "drought", and when the prop was activated, he threw it out. Immediately, a heat wave surged in all directions, and the trees within a hundred miles were pushed and shaken by the heat wave. In an instant, birds flew and insects chirped, and the temperature of the entire rainforest rose sharply.
When everyone looked down again, they saw that where the "drought" had fallen, a basketball court-sized patch of grass had dried up and curled up, with no signs of life. And this dryness was still spreading in all directions.
What a powerful force! At this rate, this rainforest will be completely withered in a few days.
Chen Chu ignored all this and quickly walked back to Lin Yan's side. He said to Mr. Hua, who was staring at the "drought" prop with his eyes fixed on it, "It's time for us to go to Country G."
After going to Country G and activating the "plague", they had to rush to Country D to recover the flood. Then they came back and recovered the "drought" and "plague" as well.
Chen Chu estimated that when they came back, the two items would be activated enough. To revive Tianyu, the catastrophic items needed to be returned from Tianyu's power, so the activation level of the items only needed to be able to mobilize this part of the power.
Although Mr. Hua was reluctant to leave, he was still savoring the moment when the "Drought" prop was activated just now, but he also knew that this was not the time for him to study, so he forced himself to collect his thoughts and left with Chen Chu.
In the space passage, Lin Yan couldn't help asking Xiao Wen again: "Did you get anything just now?"
Xiao Wen shook his head: "Nothing."
Lin Xi let out a cry, somewhat disappointed.
Xiao Wen: "This is a good thing. It proves that what we are doing now is exactly what God wants."
After a while, they arrived in Country G again.
Therefore, knowing that the "drought" in Country L had been activated, Country G did not waste any time and directly took several people to the activation site. It was a vast grassland with many cattle and sheep. The surrounding herdsmen had already moved away and were not on the grassland.
Because of the special nature of the "plague", no one dared to get close, so the supernatural person from Country G only told Chen Chu the marked location and let Chen Chu go alone.
The activation of the "plague" was very peaceful, unlike the "snow disaster" with heavy snow, or the "drought" with rolling heat waves. The activation of the plague was very peaceful, and people outside could hardly see anything. However, a dairy cow that was used as a carrier, after integrating into the group, only one minute later, the skin of the entire herd turned blue-black, and then one by one, the legs went limp and fell to the ground, dying. Then, in a sheepfold a kilometer away from them, black spots began to grow on the snow-white wool...
"So fast, is this airborne?" someone exclaimed.
"Hurry up, we're too close."
All of a sudden, the psychics who had come to watch retreated again, and only when they could no longer see any cattle or sheep did they feel more at ease.
"How long will this last?" The person in charge of Country G did not expect the spread of the plague to be so horrific and became a little scared.
"It won't be long, at most half an hour, I will come back to seal it." Chen Chu has the ability to travel through time, if he only takes Lin Yan with him, he can quickly complete the shuttle between the three countries. When he said half an hour, he still left time for accidents.
"Come back? You're leaving?" The other party said anxiously, "Then don't leave. It's only half an hour. It won't be too late to leave after the seal is completed."
"I have to go and retrieve Flood first." Without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned to Master Hua and said, "Master Hua, we need to hurry to seal the props. I will not take you with me."
Mr. Hua nodded: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." It was just right, so he could continue to observe the spread of the plague.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chu took Lin Yan directly to Country D.
The city that Chen Chu targeted was the first city in Country D to experience rainfall. The heavy rain lasted for more than ten days, and the entire city was almost submerged. The moment he walked out of the space passage, there was already a vast ocean outside.
"The whole city was flooded?" Although she knew the horror of disaster props, the fact that the whole city was flooded still shocked Lin Xi.
"This is a small county town. There are no tall buildings, and it's located in a low-lying area, so it was completely submerged by the flood." A voice came from below the two people.
Lin looked down and saw a small boat floating on the water.
"Chen Chu? Lin Xi?" A Chinese superpower on the boat was holding an umbrella with difficulty and looking up at them. Next to him stood a superpower from Country D, who looked at them with even more eagerness.
"It's us." Chen Chu nodded.
"Come on board first." The Chinese psychic who was in charge of the reception hurriedly asked the two people to board the boat.
"No, let's seal the 'flood' and leave." Flying like this, it is easier to lock onto the target from a high vantage point. After saying that, Chen Chu lowered his head and glanced at Lin Xi.
Lin Xin had already seen the pillar of light that indicated the location of the "flood" and pointed in a direction and said, "Over there, about two or three kilometers away."
Chen Chu took a look, flapped the wind wings behind him, broke through the rain curtain and flew over, but in the blink of an eye he arrived at the location of the light column.
Chen Chu raised his hand and pulled out a pile of stones from the bottom of the water. Lin pointed to a white pebble and said, "This is it."
In fact, Lin didn't need to tell him. Chen Chu had already figured it out when he injected his supernatural power into each stone. Fortunately, the seal in the "flood" was still there and had not been destroyed by the Blue Flame leader. Chen Chu easily activated the seal in the tool and sealed the "flood".
Almost instantly, the rain stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the gray sky appeared. Although it was not a sunny day, the rain had stopped.
"The rain has stopped! The rain has stopped!"
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, and then the sound became louder and louder, and farther and farther away. Lin looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of people hugging and cheering on the land farther and higher.
There was a ship approaching them quickly below, and a voice was shouting at them from afar, as if to express gratitude. However, the two did not wait for the ship to come, but waved from a distance, then opened the space channel again and shuttled away.
The two returned to Country L and recovered the "drought". When they returned, the rainforest damaged by the "drought" was only less than one-tenth of the entire rainforest, and most of the vegetation in it was still alive and not completely dried up. It was just that the moisture in the land was completely sucked out and all cracked. The damage was far less than Country L had originally estimated, and Country L had been prepared. After Chen Chu sealed the "drought", a water-based supernatural person walked into the rainforest, moved water, and moistened the earth.
When the two returned to Country G, only ten minutes had passed. A large number of cattle and sheep on the grassland died, but the loss was not too great. Chen Chu went over to sense the degree of activation of the "plague" and felt that it was almost done, so he sealed the "plague" in advance.
But the aftermath of the "plague" is obviously not as easy as the "drought". Even if the props are sealed, the virus left behind does exist. They want to handle it carefully to prevent infection. So a large group of fire and earth power users rushed in, burned all the places invaded by the plague, and buried them. And set this area as a restricted area, and no one is allowed to enter within three years.
Finally, before dinner time in China, Chen Chu brought the three sealed props back to Director Guan’s office and gave all three props to Director Guan.
Guan praised him, "You've done a good job. Go and rest first. Tomorrow, we'll go get 'War'. We don't have much time left."
Twenty-three days left.
If it takes five days to take the "war" and another day to activate the "plague", then they only have seventeen days left. And when they enter the sky again to recover, it is unknown how long it will take.
