Chapter 155: Outbreak (Part 2)
Four thousand words!
“Cappuccino is both refreshing and makes people feel happy!”
A cup of coffee suddenly appeared in front of Wu Ning. She looked up and saw Li Jiaxiang.
"...I don't drink coffee." Wu Ning said after hesitating for a moment.
"Try it, the coffee here is really good."
Wu Ning didn't say anything, so Li Jiaxiang continued, "You haven't been in a good mood today. Drinking some coffee will make a difference."
Wu Ning hesitated a little. It seemed to be true. Yang Zheng also said that coffee can refresh the mind.
"……How much"
Li Jiaxiang laughed: "Oh, Wu Ning, you're so funny. What's the big deal about money?"
Wu Ning remained silent. Li Jiaxiang said, "Drink it, drink it! Who among us can't afford this? If you feel embarrassed, just bring me a lunch box next time. I think your lunch box is quite interesting. Your nanny seems to like cooking beef."
"...Do you like beef?"
"It doesn't matter whether you like it or not." Li Jiaxiang shrugged his shoulders, and Wu Ning lowered her head. She was not interested in drinking again, but she seemed to have expressed her intention to drink just now, and she couldn't really not drink now.
“…What about the shrimp?”
"Shrimp and lobster, they're just so-so. I actually prefer red shrimp. Lobster is just something hyped up by nouveau riche. It tastes just so-so. But these seafood are only fresh at the seaside. The ones here, especially the ones shipped in tanks, are not quite up to par. It's like comparing a chicken egg to a regular egg; the color is different."
Wu Ning fell silent again.
She didn't know what Australian prawns were before. She only saw them when she went to the supermarket with Yang Zheng last time. Such big shrimps cost hundreds of dollars per pound, but they were common at Li Jiaxiang's place.
She didn't know what to say, but someone next to her said, "The beach is just so-so, we'd better eat on the island!"
"If you want to eat Australian lobster, you have to go to Australia, just like if you want to eat king crab, you have to go to Canada. The ones here are not authentic enough. In fact, king crab is not that delicious. Emperor crab is more interesting."
…
There weren't many people in the class during lunch break, but there were still a few. Soon, these people started talking about seafood, then about foreign countries, and then about meals abroad.
Wu Ning finally picked up the coffee and took a sip. It was a little sweet, different from the coffee she drank with sugar. This sweetness had a milky aroma, which was rich and there was an aftertaste at the end - completely different from the coffee she had drunk earlier.
She was a little surprised. When she looked up, she saw Li Jiaxiang looking at her, and she quickly lowered her head.
She must have looked like a bumpkin.
She thought.
At this time, Grandmaster Yang had a similar feeling. Although she had read some information about semi-permanent passages, she had never imagined that it would be like this...
clouds and fog.
Clouds of different colors, sizes and concentrations.
Beneath the clouds and mist lay a variety of buildings, ranging from dilapidated houses to relatively intact two-story buildings. Just now, she had even spotted a towering gatehouse!
Made of white marble, the top is invisible at first glance, with two large lions standing at the bottom, surrounded by white clouds. At first glance, it looks like the South Gate of Heaven!
"Now is the quiet period of the passage, and we will encounter fewer heretics." Wei Yijian said.
There were eight people in their group, all of them were masters, and they did not bring any innate or ordinary soldiers.
The reason for this arrangement is that they have relatively sufficient manpower. In the past, there were no eight Grandmasters in the team. Usually there was only one Grandmaster, or two or three at most. It was inevitable that there would be negligence and the need for assistance from others. This time, there are eight, so they really don't have to worry about even a small disaster...
Well, the latter point, no one dares to say it out loud.
Secondly, they are likely to go deeper.
Although it is not stated, both China and the West have such awareness. This is actually a secret contest. If they do not take direct action, it will depend on which side can deal with more heretics. Naturally, they have to explore places that are rarely visited or even never visited.
At this time, those below the Grandmaster level may become a burden.
And these eight people were divided into three levels.
Li Yinuo and St. John walked in front.
In the middle are Yang Zheng, Wei Yijian, Zheng Sheng, and Kenan.
Kenan is St. John's follower, there is nothing much to say, yes, the master's follower! Since he had known it for a long time, Yang Zheng was not surprised.
This was the first time she had seen Zheng Sheng. She had never seen him before, nor had she seen him earlier. She only saw him this morning. It was said that he had come back on purpose, as he had spent most of his time in the Bashu area.
And behind them are Cheng Guangji and Dora.
Naturally, Cheng Guangji was on their side. Yang Zheng had seen him after becoming a master this time, but he didn't know much about him. He just heard Wei Yijian say that Master Cheng was the most cautious.
As for Dora, she was from St. John's. In Yang Zheng's memory, she died later...
The Grandmaster's death has always been kept secret from the world, or even if it is to be told, it will be said selectively and skillfully. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Grandmaster is already the strongest existence in the world. If such a person dies abnormally, it will be very shocking.
But after all, she had been involved in matters concerning heretics and infected people before, so she knew some things.
After all, the death of a grandmaster is a big event in both the East and the West.
It often doesn't just mean what's happening with the Grandmaster, it also means there's a fluctuation in heresy.
Yang Zheng was not very clear about the specific events, but he knew that something happened in Wudu and three masters died in the battle.
There was a memory of seeing Grandmaster Dora Yang being very friendly, which left Dora a little confused. At the meeting a few days ago, this newly promoted Grandmaster seemed to be less than friendly towards them, and today...
Were you reprimanded by the authorities in China? China has never respected the Grandmaster.
Dora thought so.
Cheng Guangji was there in the end because he was cautious and had sufficient knowledge of the passage, while Dora... well, it was probably because of the vigilance of Westerners.
Yang Zheng had no knowledge of this passage and was inevitably curious. Wei Yijian couldn't help but explain it to her. Yang Zheng nodded, then said, "What you said seems a little wrong."
"how"
"Don't ever say things like that in a place like this!"
Yang Zheng spoke righteously, and Wei Yijian did not react for a while. After figuring out what was going on, he was about to laugh, but before he could make a sound, Li Yinuo in front gave a warning first, and St. John issued a warning almost at the same time.
The originally thin clouds and mist in front suddenly became thicker, and then a strange sound was heard. The sound was not harsh, but rather soothing, which caused everyone to feel emotional fluctuations.
"Be careful, it's a mental heretic!" Li Yinuo said. Wei Yijian twitched his sword with a swish, and Yang Zheng widened his eyes.
The fog seemed to be getting thicker, but Yang Zheng felt as if she could see something. She was a little unsure for a moment. Was it an illusion?
"It seems to be on the left." Li Yinuo's voice came again, and it was transmitted in just a moment.
"Everyone be careful." This is Cheng Guangji.
brush!
Yang Zheng seemed to see a flash of sword light, and following the sword light, it was Wei Yijian. Yes, she could see Wei Yijian, and it seemed she could also see Li Yinuo!
She took a step forward, as if she was closer to Li Yinuo. Li Yinuo's face showed a solemn expression. Although he didn't frown, he was very alert.
"That heretic seems to be on the left." Yang Zheng spoke, and then found that Li Yinuo did not respond. She thought about it and said this with true energy.
"Left, can you see it?" This time Li Yinuo heard it.
"This is a deceptive spiritual heresy. Perhaps what you see isn't real." This time it was St. John who spoke. "Everyone, be careful. Everything you see or hear could be the enemy!"
"…make a fist with your right hand and hold your left palm upright."
St. John froze: "You can see me"
“It seems so.”
St. John fell silent. He first thought it was impossible. Although they were masters and were not weak against heretics, they could even kill heretics instantly under certain circumstances. For example, now, if the heretic showed up in front of them, any one of them could kill it instantly.
But this deceptive heresy not only seals people's five senses, but even the master's perception can be sealed to a certain extent.
Li Yinuo could sense it on the left, and so could he.
But seeing...
But now, this Yang Zheng said he saw him as a heretic. Has the heresy evolved to this level?
He was about to say something else when he heard a bang. Then, the clouds and mist suddenly disappeared. He looked up and saw that Yang Zheng had stood more than ten meters away. There was a strange-shaped object under her feet and a blue mark on her hand.
"You, kill that heretic." St. John did not speak, it was Kenan who spoke.
"It seems so." Yang Zheng scratched his head.
St. John didn't know what to say. Li Yinuo smiled. Yang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. Li Yinuo turned his head away uncomfortably.
"Young people are so wasteful. Come and see if you have anything." Cheng Guangji said. Yang Zheng lowered her head. She had read some information, but she still didn't know what was swimming. Wei Yijian came over and fiddled around, finding a blue bead. "Blue Pearl, it's still useful. Where's your box?"
Yang Zheng took out the jade box he had borrowed from the Public Security Bureau before, and Wei Yijian put the beads in it.
Although it was a little difficult for her to find it by herself, she still knew that the blue pearl was something that could enhance mental strength and, for ordinary people, could also cure eyesight.
She slapped Wei Yijian on the body and said, "Thank you very much. I'll treat you to dinner when I get home!"
Wei Yijian felt his body go numb. He wanted to say no, but then he thought that Yang Zheng’s offer to treat him to a meal was really nice.
"So, your nonsense is actually useful."
Wei Yijian froze, and Cheng Guangji laughed over there.
They were all in harmony, while St. John frowned slightly. He and Li Yinuo were the first to discover this heresy, which was consistent with the perceptions of both the East and the West: among the younger generation, he and Li Yinuo were the strongest.
The strongest in all aspects.
And he and Li Yinuo didn't see that heretic, how did this Yang Zheng see him? His mental power was really that strong.
St. John wasn't too convinced.
At this time, Master Zhang was also frowning as he looked at the information in his hand. The thing that Li Yinuo discovered on the border was now preliminarily identified as a life.
It's very strange, it's not a carbon-based substance, but it is life.
Can I become Sun Wukong in the future?
He shook his head with a faint smile, but he couldn't relax. Birds, fish, monkeys, even plankton, all have their own principles of survival, but this thing doesn't... Looking for something similar would be sheer heresy!
But what heresy is this?
"Ask over there if you want to dig this thing out."
Zhang Zongshi did not express his opinion immediately. From the perspective of research, this thing should be taken to the Public Security Bureau, which may be safer. After all, it is under supervision. But what will happen during the excavation process?
"We need to be fully prepared." He thought for a moment and said, "Three... no, at least five Grandmasters must be present at the same time, and we also need to use instruments to test it first..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door, and another assistant rushed in: "Master Zhang, a report just arrived from the border."
Grandmaster Zhang quickly took it and immediately frowned.
Grandmaster Zhang's former assistant spoke, and Grandmaster Zhang handed over the report. The assistant's expression changed completely when he saw it.
The thing they were talking about just now has grown bigger!
This thing has been changing constantly, and based on their observations over the past two days, it is indeed growing, but the growth is very small. At this rate, if it were to grow to the size of a human, it would take tens of thousands of years, a bit of an exaggeration, but it would still take thousands of years. If it weren't for the constant monitoring equipment, it would be impossible to detect that this thing is still growing!
But just now, it grew five centimeters!
This is almost equivalent to it extending its distance by hundreds of years!
"Immediately mobilize the Grandmasters to dig that thing out!"
Grandmaster Zhang was a little hesitant at first, but now he was no longer hesitant. The two grandmasters immediately began to prepare, while Grandmaster Zhang lowered his head and continued to read the report in his hand.
Why did that thing suddenly grow bigger? What stimulated it? It’s not mentioned in the report, so there should be no sudden situation.
Of course, just because it's not written doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but he needs to consider other aspects.
Past experience tells them that semi-permanent earthquakes often affect the ground, but there are no reports from the passage now, so Li Yinuo and the others went down again. As they said before, not to mention that semi-permanent earthquakes are still in a calm period, even if it is a period of minor disasters, there will be no problem for the eight of them.
Yang Zheng...
Grandmaster Zhang still thought of Yang Zheng. He felt a little uneasy. If Yang Zheng really had something, then in the passage...
He thought for a moment and called Bian Dong. Soon, the call was connected: "Hey, has there been any changes?"
“Not at this time.”
"... Ask, don't hang up the phone, I'll be waiting."
…
The author has something to say:
This chapter has 4,000 words! Of course, I set this word count to apply for the list, but whether I can apply... God knows, embarrassing TT
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
