"Fuck, it's over!"
Everyone in the car had a psychological reaction.
They don't have any relatives in Huashu Village. It was just a subconscious reaction to cover up the matter.
"Speak, and tell me the names of your relatives."
The traffic police's tone was obviously different from before.
Cui Ying used a trick that had always worked in many embarrassing situations and smiled sweetly.
"Haha, actually we don't have any relatives in Huashu Village, we just want to take a shortcut, police officer, please forgive us this time!"
"Yes, yes, we just want to take a shortcut, we didn't mean to deceive you~"
The girl in the passenger seat also quickly apologized.
The traffic policeman took out a small notebook from his uniform pocket, wrote a few words with a pen, and then walked to the front of the car to write down the license plate number.
"Oh, is this just an excuse to take a shortcut?"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Where is your destination and what are you going to do?"
The traffic policeman's question made the people in the car pause.
Three or four traffic police on duty had surrounded them, some of them even wearing uniforms that were difficult to identify at the moment.
His gaze changed from suspicion to scrutiny.
"What? Did you even forget what you were going to do?"
Seeing that the atmosphere around them was not right, the people in the car spoke in unison in panic.
"Go on a picnic!" "Go to a party!" "Attend a wedding..."
Cui Ying felt a little itchy on her forehead and a drop of cold sweat ran down her forehead.
Four people, three destinations. No one would believe me if I told them to get off the bus separately...
"Turn off the car and everyone get out."
At some point, the traffic police retreated and an officer in dark camouflage uniform walked up to the car.
The situation seemed a little strange, but the people in the car didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and got off the car tactfully.
Then they were taken away without giving them any more chance to explain.
Ten minutes later, in a hastily built cabin where they were being held, a policeman came in and gave them bottled mineral water.
"Your identities have been verified. It's nothing serious. Take a rest first. A car will take you to the detention center in Shencheng before dawn. You will be released in three days. At that time, your ID cards and other personal belongings will be returned together."
"ah!?"
"No way! I have to be detained for three days?"
"Comrade police officer, have you made a mistake? We just lied to get some news material..."
After handing out the ID cards, the police officer smiled at them.
"It's because I didn't make a mistake that this is the only reason. You reporters should stop trying to create chaos all the time!"
After saying this which puzzled Cui Ying and the others, the police officer went out directly and closed the door.
What they didn’t know was that if their identities had not been quickly verified, they might have been charged with “espionage.”
At night, the sound of heavy vehicles passing by could be heard from time to time. Around four or five in the morning, several people who were still half asleep were put on the vehicle to be escorted back to Shanghai.
As for the car they brought, sorry, you can drive it away yourself after you get out of the detention center.
Although this was a bit like stealing a chicken and losing the rice, it planted a seed of doubt deeply in the hearts of Cui Ying and others.
…
At 4 a.m., as dawn got closer, people outside the encirclement began to get nervous.
Several black cars drove from the main road outside to a location close to the center of the encirclement.
There is a sentry post every ten steps here, and a temporary blocking line equipped with live ammunition has been set up.
Tao Xingzhi, Huang Jiutian and their group got out of the car in black uniforms. The uniforms were obviously similar to military uniforms, but the designs were different.
There was a thin red bar and two star badges on Huang Jiutian's shoulder, and he had actually transformed into a lieutenant. I don't know if it was just a temporary change to fill the appearance.
Those who were aware or semi-informed looked at these people from special departments who had come from afar with a bit of awe.
Many local people with certain status and positions were unaware of the "National Special Incident Stress Safety Team" before today.
Although only the first batch of police officers and a few senior officials knew part or all of the inside story, from the military and police to ordinary cadres, real fools are always rare animals. It would be strange if there was really a chemical leak.
As soon as they arrived at the scene, a person in charge who knew the details immediately explained the situation to Tao Xingzhi and others, and handed them a tablet computer displaying real-time images from the drone.
Tao Xingzhi quickly compared and analyzed the latest information with the content received on the plane in order to get an overview of the overall situation.
"Jitian, can you feel anything?"
After understanding the situation, Tao Xingzhi wanted Huang Jiutian to try to sense it, but when he turned around, he found that Jiutian's face was not looking good.
"What's wrong Jiutian? What do you feel?"
Huang Jiutian looked very unhappy.
Of course it was not because of excessive blood loss, but through Qin Xiaoxia's magic, he sensed something familiar yet unfamiliar.
'Magic! There's something magical in there!'
What kind of creature can possess magic power? The first condition is the essence of the soul, and the soul is closely related to spiritual will.
"The pottery head... I don't know how to describe it. The thing inside may have considerable intelligence, or - 'wisdom'!"
As soon as the word "wisdom" came out, everyone in the special case team felt a chill in their hearts.
"Are you sure?"
Tao Xingzhi couldn't help but ask another question, while Jiutian shook his head with a unhappy expression.
"No, I'm not familiar with my abilities yet... This statement is just my guess, but the feeling it gives me is completely different from that of the insect monster!"
Tao Xingzhi frowned, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth as usual, but did not light it.
Looking across the isolation belt at the shed area in the distance.
“Can you feel how many there are?”
Huang Jiutian's arms had begun to feel hot, which meant that Qin Xiaoxia's magic power had begun to sense the threat on its own and was starting to become manic.
This makes Huang Jiutian's eyes have a strange attraction that pulls people's spirits in the dark.
He took off his glasses and looked closely at the distance.
"There's only one! It's not those vines! That thing is underground! I bet it knows we're outside because we made so much noise tonight, but just like us, it doesn't dare to act rashly!"
Huang Jiutian's voice was no longer as tense as before, but gradually became calmer. This was not only because he had adjusted his mentality, but also because the magic power in his arms gave him a reassuring feeling.
This is a kind of induction that comes from magic. The real owner of the magic in the arm is Qin Xiaoxia, and Huang Jiutian is using his power to perceive.
Qin Xiaoxia was not paying attention to the construction site before, but now she has paid special attention to Huang Jiutian. In addition, the object she sensed actually possessed magic power. When the two collided, Qin Xiaoxia immediately realized what Huang Jiutian had encountered.
As his best friend, Qin Xiaoxia is very concerned about Huang Jiutian's safety.
Qin Xiaoxia didn't know that Huang Jiutian was now "heavily protected". In his opinion, Jiutian encountering a being with magical powers was like banging his head against a hammer.
Unless you meet a weakling like Doudou.
Although the power of the secret realm cannot be borrowed by Huang Jiutian in a different place without Qin Xiaoxia's engraving ritual, it is still possible to pull Huang Jiutian, who possesses the original magic power, into the secret realm from a long distance at all costs.
Although Jiutian is definitely not alone, it is hard to say what methods the alien creatures from the outside world, especially those with magical powers, have.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiaoxia is not a human GPS. He can only know the approximate direction and distance of Huang Jiutian by sensing alone, and cannot effectively feedback the exact data and specific location.
All they could do was let Doudou steal Gou Junbao’s car keys and drive to Su Province together at night.
Outside the R County encirclement.
After hearing Huang Jiutian's words, Tao Xingzhi didn't know what he was thinking. He took out his lighter and lit it up again and again.
"Those vines and the thing you mentioned, since they are not one entity, can you sense whether there is a symbiotic relationship between them?"
The corner of his eye twitched.
"Taotou, I'm not Doraemon. How can I feel about this mysterious relationship?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Xingzhi also smiled, which also eased the heavy atmosphere where the special case team was located.
After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, Tao Xingzhi finally lit the cigarette in his mouth.
"When the day breaks, I'll give it a hard blow!!"
Friendly exchanges are no longer a priority since the deaths of Chao Xianjun and his wife and police officer Zhang Xinyuan.
Tao Xingzhi was ruthless and selectively ignored the faint heat that still existed in the infrared analysis.
…
The fighter planes hovering in the sky have been replaced with a group of planes with sufficient fuel.
The pilot looked at the instruments, and from time to time glanced at the dark earth while circling or turning.
The pitch-black center of the target area contrasted sharply with the scattered lights from the surrounding buildings, presenting a circular shape with a concave light.
But the scene on the radar screen was completely different: dense green dots appeared near the encirclement.
At this moment, the pilot's communicator suddenly received the latest command from the control desk.
"Flying Bird No. 2, prepare to launch the earth-penetrating missile, coordinates...depth 25 meters, specific launch time awaits command from the command center."
"Asuka-2 understands!"
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the golden sunlight in the east was the first to turn the dark sky into sky blue.
"The light of dawn is always so beautiful!"
Huang Jiutian looked at the sunrise and uttered an inaudible sigh.
"The vines are all moving!"
In the command vehicle where the special case team was located, one could see from the computer screen that as the sky brightened, all the vines on the ground "came to life". Except for a few that remained motionless like normal plants, most of them began to shrink, some burrowing into the ground, and some retracting into the tile-roofed house.
This seems to be contrary to the previous analysis of its phototaxis by the research department.
"It's that policeman!"
On the screen, as the vines retreated back into the tile-roofed house, they left behind a bloody corpse that was twisted beyond human form. This was obviously a completely different situation from Chao Xianjun's half-dead army.
However, at this moment, Tao Xingzhi and others were neither extremely angry nor focused on studying whether these vines were attracted to light or were disgusted with light, because a line of fire in the sky was already falling vertically at an extremely fast speed.
A few seconds later.
People outside the encirclement felt the ground rumble and shake, as if they had experienced a short earthquake, and then they saw a large cloud of smoke and dust rising from the center of the encirclement in the distance.
Countless pieces of earth, rocks and vines were thrown in all directions from the center of the explosion, most of which fell within a hundred meters, far from reaching the first line of defense of the encirclement.
"How cruel!"
Huang Jiutian immediately understood from the induction of magic that the thing underground was caught off guard and fell into the trap.
The originally oppressive magical sensation almost fell into a dead silence in an instant.
The shock passed quickly, but the dust had not yet settled, and everyone was waiting patiently.
"How is it? Is the attack effective?"
Rather than visually observing the results, Tao Xingzhi hoped to hear good news from Huang Jiutian.
"It's so effective! It's directly disabled!"
Tao Xingzhi finally smiled.
"very good!"
Then new orders began to be communicated.
"Execute the next phase according to the plan. Recover the scattered vine fragments. Avoid direct physical contact. Be safe!"
With nervousness and apprehension, the armed police force that had been on standby for a long time began to advance slowly. About every ten meters there would be a soldier carrying incendiary equipment.
There will also be core research personnel wearing thick isolation suits, which make it difficult for them to walk in the fields.
Along the way, most of the vine fragments picked up were the same as ordinary wood chips, and occasionally there were some that were wriggling like insects, but they were not threatening enough and were each clamped with steel pliers and stored in high-strength containers.
Researchers immediately used various chemical reagents, herbicides and other plant killers to test their effects.
After the people in front pass by, the second circle of people will move forward again to search if there is anything missed. The third circle of people will follow closely and spray the most effective medicine along the way based on on-site research.
The precautions that Tao Xingzhi repeatedly reminded were destined to be unnecessary, because the thing hit by the bunker-penetrating missile had already been frightened.
It's not dead yet, but it's almost dead.
The big difference between elves in plant form and regular creatures is their vitality.
He was running underground like crazy at this moment, but then he immediately realized that hiding underground was not safe at all and he had to escape to some other place!
Almost half of the main body had disintegrated, leaving only a few remnants that were strung together underground like roots.
It even deliberately suppresses its own magic power to protect its body.
There was no way. There were beings outside with awakened magic power. Although it was very weak, it gave it a sense of fear. It was probably some kind of terrifying existence unique to this strange world.
Just like that sudden and powerful attack that left no response!
Since becoming a tree shepherd in the dark world, he has never suffered such a serious injury in more than a hundred years.
Now I have no time to care about my curiosity and joy about the world with so much light. I am filled with fear and want to find a safe place.
As for the growing vine seedlings, just let them die!
