A Million Possible

Chapter 416

“Don’t you fly?”

When Cheng Lin’s question sounded in the car, Yang Congxian didn’t speak, but the small lapel of the front co-pilot seemed to smile, and responded: “The provincial capital and Liancheng had no direct flights before.”

“Well.”

Cheng Lin was a little embarrassed, he didn’t know what to say, he really didn’t know about it.

“Then are we going to the high-speed rail station?”

“Well, there are some colleagues who have to go together, meet first, and then take the railway.”

Cheng Lin nodded, seeing that everyone seemed not interested in chatting, he gave up and fell silent.

After a while, the car finally got off the highway and came to the high-speed rail station. There was indeed a car with small lapel waiting here. Cheng Lin looked around and found two familiar faces inside.

I met when I was exploring the projection in the magic city, but I was not in the same team and was not familiar with it.

While getting into the car, Cheng Lin inquired about the news, and found that the group was also unclear about the situation in Liengang.

“We won’t know the specifics until we arrive.”

“Anyway, Shen Sishou has already rushed over. I believe that with him in charge, there is no big problem.”

They looked quite optimistic, not as calm as Yang Congxian, nor panicking like those students, they seemed to be talking and laughing.

To Cheng Lin, it seemed that the matter was not that serious.

…

No words on the way, two hours later, a group of people arrived at Lianshi Station.

When I walked out of the exit, I saw the pick-up car.

A group of people shared two cars, and Cheng Lin naturally followed Yang Congxian’s steps and got into the first car, still sitting in the back seat, and then listening to their communication while looking at the city through the car window.

What surprised him a little was that the city seemed to be business as usual without much change.

There is no sense of vigilance throughout the whole process as expected.

What I have to say is that there are fewer people on the street.

The weather is gloomy, wet, and a bit of autumn loneliness.

The person who came to pick up the station was the group leader of Jiu Si in Lianshi. His surname was Hu, and his single name was Rui. He didn’t talk much, but he used accurate words and spoke at the same point. There was no nonsense. He started to talk to Yang Congxian as soon as he sat down. Describe the situation.

Cheng Lin pretended to be an invisible person next to him, listening with his ears upright, but he also gradually understood the general situation.

What happened in Sydney did arouse the attention of various countries, but the spread of news has weakened the disaster situation, coupled with the long distance, people lack sufficient awareness, and the panic is not too strong under deliberate control.

Different from the exaggerated atmosphere on the Internet that the next moment will destroy mankind, in reality everyone is still a normal life. After all, it has been flat for a long time, and the damage caused by the monsters in Liangang is not large, so the whole city is still very stable. of.

Only part of the area close to the port was blocked.

“At present, according to the order of the imperial capital, the local area has organized the evacuation of residents near the sea area of ​​the Maelstrom… After Shen Sishou arrived, he directly communicated with the naval force commander of the brigade area. The seaport area has been blocked by the navy, and the local army has also been blocked. In place…As for the people from other departments and bureaus who are on their way, it is estimated that they will be able to arrive one after another tonight.”

Hu Rui said.

Yang Congxian’s expression remained unchanged: “What about monsters?”

“The number is increasing, and the strength is constantly increasing. However, there is no monster of the level similar to the Sydney Maelstrom. The highest here is only equivalent to the fourth rank. The situation is still under control, just one hour. Before, Shen Sishou personally killed one head and was still lying in the harbor warehouse. It is very different from the previous ones. Would you like to take a look?” Hu Rui asked for instructions.

Yang Congxian nodded his head, which was regarded as an answer. Seeing that the conversation between the two came to an end, Cheng Lin couldn’t help but interject: “Different? Which aspect does it mean?”

Hu Rui glanced at him, “You’ll know when you see it.”

After speaking, the carriage fell silent again.

…

…

As Hu Rui described, as the vehicle drove along the highway out of the city center, passed through Zhongshan Square, and galloped toward the northeast, Cheng Lin found that the roadside scene had indeed changed.

There are hardly any private cars anymore, and the whole road is empty.

Checkpoints were set up on several roads, military vehicles were sideways, and roadblocks were set up to close the road.

The warrior in camouflage uniforms and big brimmed hats blocked the intersection, with a cold glow in his hands.

The car slowed down when it got closer, and Hu Rui was able to pass after passing the certificate.

This blocked area looked scary, but Cheng Lin felt that its main purpose was to prevent ordinary people from approaching, not to deal with monsters.

Going further in is the entire port, because the blockade has been suspended, and there is a turbid ocean in the distance.

The weather is gloomy and dull.

From a distance, you can see some ships on the sea with flags floating on them, and the sea seems to be foggy, which is not real, but it is by no means ordinary fishing boats.

“That’s a navy ship.” Hu Rui explained when Cheng Lin looked over there.

Cheng Lin knew that there was a naval force stationed in the Lukou District of Lianshi, and it seemed that it was already in place.

The car suddenly turned right and stopped near a building in the dock area.

A few people got out of the car, Hu Rui led the way, walked there, and soon came outside a warehouse.

There are several cars parked here, and people wearing small lapel uniforms are walking back and forth, the atmosphere is solemn, and when they see them, they all greet them and salute them.

Yang Congxian just nodded, and followed Hu Rui into a large warehouse.

Pulling the blockade here, turning over, I saw a weird corpse lying quietly on the cold concrete floor of the warehouse.

The body is huge.

It seemed to be bigger than the end that Yang Congxian killed before.

The overall appearance is even more bizarre, and it also has huge tentacles, but the main body is like a worm, with its mouthparts split into four petals, and blue mucus flows out of it and spreads on the floor.

The warehouse is cold and dim, and with this ugly body, just seeing it makes people feel uncomfortable.

“This is the fourth-rank monster that has just been slain, and it may be a little bit closer when it gets closer…”

As Hu Rui was talking, Yang Congxian strode over, but when he entered within three meters of the monster’s body, there was a momentary hesitation in his footsteps, and then he recovered.

Cheng Lin blinked and followed closely.

When he entered the three-meter range of the corpse, he suddenly noticed a strange, as if mental interference, hit his face and entered his mind.

For an instant, he seemed to hear endless illusory chattering, surging in layers.

Almost instinctively, he instantly started a “mental storm” to isolate this interference.

The whole process only lasted for less than a second, and Cheng Lin moved as usual, but he was very surprised. If he was disturbed for 1 second during the battle, he would never know how to die.

Turning his head to look at Hu Rui, wanting to know what he was going to say in the second half, but only to see Hu Rui staring at him blankly.

Cheng Lin puzzled: “Head Hu, what’s the matter?”

“Ah, it’s okay,” Hu Rui shook his head, but his gaze suddenly became more serious when he saw Cheng Lin. At first, he only thought that Cheng Lin was an ordinary lapel. I thought that Cheng Lin could get rid of it so easily.

This is enough to make Hu Rui look at him again.

“Is this a spiritual interference?” Yang Congxian asked with a frown at this time.

Hu Rui hurriedly cheered up and explained: “Similar, but not exactly, this kind of magical object has a very strong Spiritual Qi inside. This interference is more like a product of a mixture of spiritual waves and Spiritual Qi vibrations. There are no monsters of. When it first came out, it caused us a lot of trouble. The impact you feel now has been attenuated a lot. When it is alive, its influence range is even greater, up to 50%. Meters, the strength is also higher.”

“It decays slowly after death. We have tested it. If faced with such a living monster, ordinary people will not be able to approach it. Once approached, it will be mentally disordered, chattering, sluggish… Only a practitioner can resist it. At the very least, you can stay awake.”

After a pause, Hu Rui took out his mobile phone and showed it to him. Cheng Lin was surprised to see that there was no signal from the mobile phone.

“This… can it also interfere with the signal?” he asked.

Hu Rui smiled and nodded: “Yes, after testing, almost any device that needs to transmit signals will fail once it enters this range.”

“It seems that this is an ability that high-level monsters have…but fortunately, this effect should not be big.” Yang Congxian said in deep thought.

The interference distance of tens of meters…The practitioner can resist interference and can still fight in close quarters. As for ordinary soldiers…if they use firearms, they will not be disturbed…Of course, the premise is that the scope of influence will not continue to expand.

Probably seeing Yang Congxian’s thoughts, Hu Rui said bitterly: “In addition, its epidermal defense capabilities are also stronger.”

With that said, Hu Rui opened the hem of his clothes, drew a pistol from his waist, and pressed the trigger at the dead flesh. After a “bang”, I saw that the bullet that was shot turned out to be embedded in the skin of the monster. superior!

Half of the warhead penetrated into the muscle under the action of the propelling force of the gunpowder, and the remaining half of the tail was still exposed.

“The defense of this thing is so strong? The pistol can only break through the skin at close range?”

Cheng Lin appropriately expressed a little surprise.

However, Hu Rui sighed: “No, the real situation is that when it is alive, the bullet can’t get in at all! Before dealing with the third rank monster, the pistol could break the epidermis, but now it doesn’t work, and it’s alive. At that time, the epidermis also had a Spiritual Qi field, similar to the shields created by some of our elemental cultivators, which can greatly resist physical damage, and ordinary firearms are almost difficult to deal with them unless weapons of larger caliber are used.”

“Bigger? You mean…”

“Artillery, torpedo, and even missiles!” Suddenly, a few people only heard a rather masculine voice coming from behind.

Cheng Lin turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man in military uniform walking towards him. The face of the Chinese character was sharp and angular, and his leather shoes slapped on the concrete floor of the warehouse. He glanced at his shoulder… Well, two stars, yes. Lieutenant colonel, Cheng Lin thought.”It turned out to be Lieutenant Colonel Yu.” Yang Congxian stretched out his hand.

The lieutenant colonel showed a formulaic smile, stretched out his hand and shook his hand, “I heard that Deputy Secretary Yang was injured and recuperating, but I didn’t expect to return to Liangang so soon, and Yu admires him.”

Hey, I’m still very verbose, I’m afraid it’s not a clerical job. Cheng Lin complained in his heart.

“The situation is critical, where can you dare to delay,” Yang Congxian said in a flat tone, withdrawing his hand, “What Lieutenant Colonel Yu said just now…could it be that there are some thoughts on it?”

The man laughed and said, “You are not here for the past two days. It is normal if you don’t know. After the imperial capital has discussed and decided, the document has been issued. The responsibility of guarding the harbor has been taken over by our ministry. Next, the matter of fighting against monsters will be officially handed over to the army. Ministry, as for your company, it is mainly responsible for coastal guards, checking deficiencies and making up for leaks.”

Hearing this, Yang Congxian was stunned and looked at Hu Rui with a hint of censure.

Hu Rui moved her lips, but only nodded.

“When is this order? I have not been notified by the Imperial Capital Headquarters.” Yang Congxian frowned.

“Just over an hour ago, the information was probably delayed,” Lieutenant Colonel Yu said, then pointed to the corpse and said in a relaxed tone, “Although the monster looks powerful, it is huge and easy to strike. I heard about your company before. We sent people to explore the sea. There were a lot of casualties, which is respectable. However, now that the reality has been ascertained, there is no need to get close to the enemy. Our navy’s ship-borne artillery is sufficient to block the coastline. Any monster daring to come ashore, Will be torn apart!”

These words were sonorous and powerful and full of boldness.

However, Yang Congxian said solemnly: “Monsters are extraordinary. The Sydney incident is an example. Yu Lieutenant Colonel, we must not underestimate the enemy!”

“Underestimate the enemy? No!” When the other party waved his hand, he seemed to be a little unhappy with Yang Congxian’s reminder, but he still said patiently. The reason was that the incident happened suddenly. The local army did not deploy defenses at all, and only relied on some practitioners to blockade. As a result, super monsters appeared at night and broke into the city directly. When the army reacted, it had caused a tragedy and hindered the city’s problems. There is no way for a large number of citizens to carry out large-scale thermal weapons strikes.”

“But we are different! Our ministry has blocked the maelstrom towards the coast with warships! Even if the so-called seventh-rank monsters appear, they will definitely not be able to break our line of defense! If they dare to come, we dare to use cannonballs to make them. There is no return!”

After a pause, Lieutenant Colonel Yu said again:

“Deputy Secretary Yang, I know this matter involves the lives of 6 million people in the city. Don’t worry, we will never let the tragedy happen again,” the tone stopped, and Lieutenant Colonel Yu suddenly showed a mysterious smile and whispered, “It’s not just that. , I just received the latest order, if nothing else, we still have a good show tonight!”

“Good show? What do you mean?”

“Compared to passive defense, the above means…we can try to attack actively.”

“What?” Yang Congxian was startled slightly, but he didn’t even react for a while.

Standing next to Cheng Lin, who was always pretending to be dumb, his eyes lit up: “Are you going to work on the space entrance in the Maelstrom? I’m afraid it’s impossible to rely on shipborne guns. Is it using submarines or torpedoes?”

Lieutenant Colonel Yu glanced at him in surprise and glanced at his clothes-when he came over, Cheng Lin had already put on a uniform with a small lapel, and he chuckled softly: “The young man’s brain is aura, you guessed it right. , I really want to do something on the Maelstrom, but it’s not a torpedo… We have tried this, but the effect is not good.”

“That is……”

Lieutenant Colonel Yu smiled, but did not answer directly. Instead, he pointed to Yang Congxian and said, “Want to know? Ask your leader. He should guess what I’m talking about. After all, it’s in the provincial capital.”

After speaking, the middle-aged man strode away and disappeared outside the warehouse.

Cheng Lin looked at Yang Congxian, eyes reveal inquiring.

In the provincial capital? What does it mean? He is indeed a little confused.

Immediately, I saw Yang Congxian’s pale face and mouth muscles pulling out a word: “Sixty-five base!”

…

ps1: Seasonal cold, dizziness, this is the only update today. After thinking about the plot carefully, I found some problems that I hadn’t considered before, so I was even more dizzy.

ps2: Due to the lack of relevant knowledge, please do not go into the details of the battle involving thermal weapons…
