I'm Not Shouldering This Blame

The sky was full of wind and sand, and an off-road vehicle with a military license plate bumped forward.

There is a roadblock on the road ahead, and a group of heavily armed soldiers is patrolling.The off-road vehicle slowed down for inspection, the windows were rolled down, and the driver handed out a black leather booklet in the shape of a notepad.

The person in charge of the inspection picked up a special flashlight to take a picture, and immediately a red giant dragon appeared on the empty cover, with a body like a snake, antlers on its head, long beard around its lips, and gleaming scales.Under the dragon's claws is an oval badge with military rank on it.

The inspecting soldier saluted and handed back the booklet with both hands.

The off-road vehicle driver is very thin, with prominent cheekbones and small eyes, which does not fit the heroic image of a soldier.He picked up the wireless communication device on the car and said into the microphone: "The albatross has arrived at the blocked road section, one kilometer away from the target location, please give instructions from the branch, over."

"Wait in place for 2 minutes and prepare for satellite positioning."

"Yes!"

The driver closed the window and turned his head to explain: "Yesterday, another team of special forces disappeared, and the satellite only found the wreckage of the vehicle. Major Zhang asked me to tell the two of you that this operation is very dangerous."

The people in the back row of the car are Jian Hua and Li Fei.

Jian Hua disapproved of Li Fei leaving the southern city "occupied" by mushrooms, and he was even less willing to meet the Red Dragon personnel in the real world, but there was no sign of the large monster Li Fei wanted to find.

Red Dragon did provide two locations, one is the mountain where the spider Guan Sheng died, but the mountain is too big, it is difficult to find spiders across a world, and there is no fixed entry point for the abandoned world, and it is quickly abandoned. Li Fei ruled it out.

What is left is a certain section of the Ganzhou National Highway where accidents occur frequently, and it is also the place where the member of the Holy Gate Organization who used his identity as a reporter disappeared. The forced closure of the road put a lot of pressure on the government. After failing to solve the problem for the first time, Red Dragon thought of Heiyuan.

In other words, the Balrog and the Devourer came to mind.

"Before the road was closed, car accidents occurred one after another. The vehicle was hit by an inexplicable force, causing it to roll over. We suspected it was the influence of the abandoned world, but we couldn't find the culprit."

The thin man who was driving was still an acquaintance to Jian Hua and Li Fei.

——They teamed up to set Liu Shan's words.

At that time, the name used by the skinny man was Zhao Wen, which was obviously a fake name, but Jian Hua didn't ask, people always have to be called, what name isn't called?The thin man also talked about his experience. He was an undercover agent for a drug lord in his early years. With such an experience, he is probably used to various aliases.

This time, Senior Colonel Lu from Beidu specially dispatched the skinny man here, who is familiar and cooperative.

As the leader of the national ability team, Zhang Yaojin handles countless incidents every day, so he can't escape at all. Moreover, his ability is more suitable for fighting humans, and he doesn't have much advantage against monsters.

"The terrain at the accident site is open, there are no hills, and there are no bends. Preliminary inspections by instruments revealed a deep pothole underground, covered by a half-meter-thick layer of soil."

Li Fei thought about that picture for a long time, but he still couldn't find any creatures that fit the description from the "Illustrated Book of Monsters in the Abandoned World". Gophers, but mice are vulnerable to high-level power users, not so tricky.

"Another monster that didn't appear in the original plot?"

Jian Hua still remembers the egg-bearing spider. Mycelium forcibly turned the little spider into a puppet, which accelerated the spread of mushrooms in eight cities in the south. By this means.

Is it just a baby spider that just hatched, or a spider that "shouldn't be there"?Jian Hua has not been able to figure it out.

New instructions came from the radio in the car.

"Albatross, please pay attention. The current satellite image scan shows no abnormality in the suspicious location. You can move forward."

The thin man rolled up the window, waited for the roadblock to be pushed away, and started the car.

"This road leads to Ganzhou?"

"There are also a few neighboring counties. Actually, we have been here, when we filmed "The Crow" last year."

This short conversation caused the atmosphere in the car to become strange. The thin man glanced at the rearview mirror suspiciously. It's normal, where does the strange feeling come from?

"Strictly speaking, the incident occurred at the 430-kilometer section of the Lanxin Highway."

The thin man looked serious. He glanced at the map and explained: "Because it is guessed that it is the influence of the abandoned world, the road is blocked to prevent the supernatural beings from passing by, but it is completely useless! The newly dispatched special forces have been confirmed to be ordinary people. It is impossible to fall into the abandoned world, as a result, you also heard it just now."

"The satellites didn't take pictures either?"

"In this season of previous years, the wind and sand were not so big."

The thin man's implication made Jian Hua frown.

Abandoning the world has an increasing impact on reality. No matter how unwilling the country is and how much energy it spends to cover up these things, the truth will eventually surface, perhaps in a tragic way.

Before that, the Red Dragon could only procrastinate for one day.

This time the country agreed to Hei Yuan with very generous conditions, not to mention Li Fei, even Jian Hua was moved.

For the expansion of mushrooms, they have long thought of using express delivery.

China's online shopping boom has spurred the rapid development of the express delivery industry. Even in European and American countries, it is difficult to receive an item after one day.There is no "food" in the express package, even if Jian Hua squats at the door of the express company's warehouse, there is no guarantee that the mycelium can reach other places smoothly.

Well now, after receiving the "Mushrooms from the South" box, the professor at the Beidu Research Institute provided Red Dragon with a sealed jar, which was modified from a container for transporting dangerous chemicals. He also suggested putting mice in the jar As a mushroom nutrient.

Heiyuan helped solve the hidden dangers of the Ganzhou highway, and Red Dragon directly gave Heiyuan a thousand jars made of this special material, plus further information exchange, research cooperation, and most importantly, negotiating the issue of the supernatural being passing through the security check.

Li Fei has mycelium himself, so he is not afraid of the security check and calling the police, but other people with supernatural powers are different, and it is almost impossible for them to move forward.

In the later stage of the original book, the social order nearly collapsed, and people with supernatural powers can come and go freely. In the early days, everyone could only squat. Now this problem has also been solved by Beidu Research Institute.

A miniature energy disruptor, people with abilities below level B can pass through the security gate at will.

It is only useful for the energy on the supernatural being, and other dangerous items are not affected.

For this new product, Red Dragon promised to give [-] pieces to Heiyuan.Even if Li Fei suspects that the miniature jammer itself will send out signals, which is convenient for the state to supervise, the influence of the superpowers under him not being able to go out is too great. Many people cannot live normally, and many quit their jobs.

As for the abilities above B level.

——Let’s use mycelium bottles, high-tech materials, completely sealed, valid within five days, pour a bottle on your body when preparing for security checks, the characteristics of high-level superhumans will make mushrooms happily stay on them until food is found.

It can be predicted that near the security gates of airports and subways, no monsters will survive in the future.

Curves an important way to save utilities...

Even Li Fei couldn't tell what the prospect of such a cooperation would be.

Heiyuan and Red Dragon are too close, and the win-win situation is indeed very good, but if the bond is too deep, there will be no secrets.It's a pity that it can't be rejected at the moment. Heiyuan is just an empty shell. It can't have a research institute, and it won't have a factory that manufactures high-tech materials. If Heiyuan can infiltrate and control it by itself, I don't know how many years it will take.

Especially those who have read the book and know the plot can stare at Heiyuan!This is the rhythm of jumping under the eyes of the country, and Heiyuan is destined to take a completely different path from the original.

Keep a low profile or something, depending on your mood.

Mystery or something, hello Corgi!

Mycelium is entangled in the tires of the off-road vehicle, Jian Hua intentionally activates the ability to control the growth of mushrooms on the side of the road.Without food, mycelium lacks interest and does not grow vigorously.

"I call for backup and let the helicopter drop a box of mice?" the thin man asked sincerely.

"...No need, if there is really a large monster, it will immediately become active." Jian Hua couldn't imagine the strange scene of a helicopter dropping a box of mice, which made him unable to restrain himself from thinking about the red dragon, south mushroom and north, A picture of using a mouse to guide the orderly growth of mushrooms.

Do you come in front of important buildings?

"I forgot to say that some time ago, XX terrorists attacked Jincheng Railway Station. As soon as it happened, the mushrooms stimulated by blood tied up the victim and the assailant. Colonel Lu was very happy that there was no more trouble. You are polarized at the top."

The mushroom that is effective in preventing killing is also the mushroom that is sensitive to blood.

Jian Hua's face was expressionless, and Li Fei didn't care.

At this time, a gust of wind and sand rolled up on the flat ground, covering the field of vision. The skinny man braked with his foot, and his hand holding the steering wheel was bulging.

"Something's wrong."

Skinny Zhao Wen is only a C-level ice-type supernatural user, but his combat experience and sensitivity to danger can be compared with Li Fei's magic eye and Jian Hua's supernatural power feedback scan.

"There's nothing in the wind and sand." Li Fei looked around, and there was still some distance from the scene of the incident.

"Every time the Abandoned World descends, there will be an interval of 24 hours at the earliest before overlapping points appear again at the same place. When did the person who disappeared yesterday happen?" Jian Hua also found no suspicious targets.

"Yesterday afternoon, 18 hours from now."

Theoretically speaking, it should be safe, there is enough time for the mushroom to expand its territory, and let the three of them investigate the environment.

"Go ahead, we have to solve the problem, the longer we delay in the periphery, the worse the situation will be." Li Fei said calmly.

After the wind blew, the sense of foreboding disappeared again.

The SUV is back on the road.

Five minutes later, some scattered backpacks and shoes appeared on both sides of the road, as well as remnants of car lights.They were half covered by yellow sand and looked dirty.

"The red dragon has already collected a batch of items, but there is no blood, and the damaged items seem to have been thrown out."

The thin man slowed down, activated the detectors one by one and threw them out of the car window. When they were destroyed or detected unknown energy, the off-road vehicle with a receiver could immediately find out which direction the danger came from.

The off-road vehicle stayed in underground cavities and several places where people disappeared for a while, but found nothing unusual.

The safety indicator light of the detector feedback is always green, and it emits a rhythmic beep.

"The magnetic field is normal, the energy is normal, and the image displayed by the satellite is normal..."

"Gah!"

The harsh siren sounded, and the three of them stared at the screen at the same time.

Among the energy detectors distributed in a circular area, more than a dozen yellow lights were on, and then went out, and then the next dozen lights were on, and the yellow warning sign of the horse extended all the way, as if something was running wildly. Come on, right at this car.

Li Fei immediately turned his head and stared at the back of the car, countless fine white silks covered the road.

"Closer!"

The three of them were tense, and as a result, only a gust of yellow sand was blown by the wind.

"what?"

The yellow line on the display map has crossed the car and is heading forward.

But just now there was nothing—

"Could it be that gust of wind?"

The author has something to say: The 430 km of the Lanxin Highway is a stalk in the real world. I have not verified the authenticity. I saw it in a mysterious incident before.

The setting here is before the appearance of the abandoned world, this road is fine
