Chapter 126 126-Underground Energy Line

Monday, around 8:30 in the morning.

Zhang Shoucheng sat in his office and browsed village case reports on the border of Kunyun Province on his computer with a solemn expression.

After receiving the report, the Kunyun Provincial Bureau immediately arranged for local personnel from the Erpu City Supervision Bureau to conduct an investigation. It was not until the investigators sent back an emergency rescue signal that the Kunyun Provincial Bureau finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Yesterday, in the evening of the 28th, they immediately mobilized a brigade of superpowers and cooperated with the border military to complete the siege of that area as quickly as possible.

In addition, they also arranged a team of four superpowers to go deep into the jungle to search and rescue the two investigators who had previously sent out the emergency rescue signal.

Judging from the photos uploaded at the scene, the villagers in the first and second villages did not seem to have any panic or other emotions, and their expressions were too numb.

However, it was just numb and there was no resistance.

Unlike the third village, the villagers seemed to have completely transformed into puppets, and together with the mutated crickets, they tenaciously resisted the official's entry.

These mole crickets looked similar to the ones Zhang Shoucheng and the others encountered in the mine before, except that they were larger, and their body length had increased by four to five times.

These mole crickets and humans seemed to be controlled by something. There was no fault between the two sides, and they cooperated with each other to prevent the entry of official forces.

"Is there any latest information?" Zhang Shoucheng asked.

"No, that's all we have now. The operation is still in progress." Yao Jianhua replied. Early this morning, she contacted Zhang Shoucheng to come to the office to learn about the case.

"Did the Kunyun Provincial Bureau and the military find out what controlled the villagers and the mutated mole crickets at the scene?"

"The brain-type superpower from Kunyun has arrived. The tentative investigation result is that the villagers and the crickets are under the control of a strange energy network, but the specific source cannot be found.

It is precisely because of the existence of this invisible invasion that we cannot go too deep into it. Currently, he is working hard to eliminate the influence of this energy on the villagers in the first village. "

"Why didn't you notify me immediately? Can the rescue team still be contacted now?"

Yao Jianhua didn't think there was anything wrong with this: "Captain, each bureau across the country has its own autonomy in action. When there is a case, the first choice is to solve it yourself. It is impossible for everything to trouble you. In that case, even if You will soon feel tired of this.

Relatively speaking, how you feel is more important than those cases, and you should understand the above considerations in your heart.

Moreover, there will be casualties among members of the Supervision Bureau during the operation. This is something everyone knows when they join. If they are afraid, they will not choose the official one, and we will not force others to join. "

"Okay, what you said makes sense." Zhang Shoucheng also understood that the boss was afraid that if he was asked to take action frequently, he would get bored. After all, from the perspective of a bystander, it can be seen clearly that Zhang Shoucheng is the greatest guarantee of Xia Guo's stability, and at the same time he is also the greatest hidden danger to stability.

Seeing Zhang Shoucheng's understanding, Yao Jianhua also felt relieved. As Zhang Shoucheng's leader, her main job is to serve Zhang Shoucheng, including paying close attention to his changes in mentality and solving his worries, so that Zhang Shoucheng can maintain his family. A worried mentality, but not too worried.

Suddenly, Yao Jianhua's phone rang. After she answered it, she just said 'um' a few times before hanging up. She looked at Zhang Shoucheng and said, "Kunyun's rescue team just lost contact."

"Inform them to gather together. We will rush over immediately and tell Kunyun that we will take over the subsequent rescue and ask them not to send anyone further."

"Okay, captain." Yao Jianhua didn't say anything this time and started arranging work.
-

After the missions of the first two days, the members of the Special Mobile Team did not perform other missions, but took a good rest for two days.

After everything was ready, Zhang Shoucheng led them to the border villages immediately.

Before coming, they had a general understanding of the incident. Knowing that this incident was related to the mutated mole crickets they had previously dealt with at the Kunyun border, several of them were somewhat looking forward to it.

"Did any of you go out during the break?" On the way, Zhang Shoucheng briefly asked about the daily life of the team members.

"Ning Bo and I rarely go out. Most of the time we are either training or playing games. You have to ask them about this." Wang Junyu replied.

"We often go out to play." He Yuqing has never been a person of leisure, and often takes Wang Zixuan out to go shopping.

"Do you feel anything? Has the social situation changed significantly?"

Wang Zixuan thought for a while and said: "The changes are quite big. People nowadays seem to go out less. In addition to going to work, they try not to go to crowded places most of the time. They rely entirely on the Internet for shopping, and physical stores are becoming more and more popular. It’s getting harder and harder, even if the shipping costs of various express delivery and takeaway food have increased, it can’t stop everyone’s tendency to stay home more and more.”

Zhang Shoucheng didn't say anything after hearing this. This was an expected change. After all, for ordinary people, safety needs are above all else. No matter how much the official publicity, the one after another super power incidents still discouraged people from going out.

The arrival of the superpower era will definitely reshape people's production and lifestyle.
-

Soon, the special mobile team arrived at the border village.

In the first village, the military and supervising department staff had gathered the villagers in an open space and maintained order. Only a superpower in a black uniform was using his powers on the villagers.

His outfit is similar to that of a special mobile team member. The only difference is that there are numbers on the front, back and both arms of his uniform. The number starts with the abbreviation of Kunyun Province and is suffixed by two letters and a string of numbers.

This is the number used by Xia Guo's super management department to distinguish each other after determining the uniform style.

Judging from the only exposed eyes, this superpower is relatively young, and the number on his body is also very high. Zhang Shoucheng knows that he is the psychic superpower from the Kunyun Provincial Supervision Bureau, named Wang Jiaming. The ability type is not very different from He Yuqing's.

Superpowers related to the mind in the brain type are the most troublesome of all types. The chaos and panic they can cause is far greater than that of ordinary superpowers, and they are the focus of official observation.

But relatively speaking, their abilities are indeed useful, as long as they don't commit crimes. It's a pity that the number of people with such super powers is too small. In most provinces across the country, there are no people of this type in charge.

After Wang Jiaming saw the arrival of Zhang Shoucheng and others, he quickly enveloped the four of them with his abilities. After realizing that they could not advance even an inch, he nodded to a few people and continued his work.

He especially looked at Zhang Shoucheng and He Yuqing a few more times.

This should be his routine checkup. The super power that enveloped people felt very gentle, so Zhang Shoucheng and others didn't pay attention. Moreover, after Zhang Shoucheng sensed his energy fluctuations, he found that he had also reached the third level, which should be Recently upgraded.

After the person in charge here communicated with Zhang Shoucheng, he said to the team members: "You also try your best to sense it and see if you can find out what they said."

After finishing speaking, he also used all his strength to activate his spatial sensing and observed the actual movement.

The staff here just told him that the village seemed to have been invaded by unknown things, causing the villagers' personality and self to be slowly lost.

It was like an invisible force trying to turn them into zombie-like puppets.

What Wang Jiaming is doing is to remove the energy trapped in the villagers' spiritual world.

Soon, Zhang Shoucheng finished the induction and asked, "How's it going? Did you find anything?"

"I can sense some special fluctuations in the ground, but they are very weak." The three answers were similar.

Only He Yuqing could discover more: "Captain, judging from the energy fluctuations remaining underground, it seems to be tree roots, one by one. Could it be that there are mutated plants causing trouble?"

"It is possible that although humans are currently the biggest beneficiaries of the explosion of superpowers, our cognition cannot be fixed by this phenomenon. In today's world, anything can mutate."

Zhang Shoucheng was not surprised that He Yuqing could detect the specialness of energy. Her perception ability was already very strong, and she had entered the third level very early, and her strength was much higher than that of Wang Jiaming.

"Although the three of you are not psychic, you should also pay attention to training your perception ability at ordinary times, so that when you encounter similar methods in the future, you will be less controlled. At least you must persist for enough time to be under your own control. Eliminate the danger before taking control." "Understood, captain." The three of them agreed in unison.

"Let's go to the next village."
-

The situation in the second village is similar to the previous one, but the only difference is that no one here has the ability to do the cleanup work. The military and Supervision Bureau only concentrated people in tents to guard it.

As soon as the members of the Special Mobile Team arrived, they felt something strange. There seemed to be energy in the ground beneath their feet trying to break through their defensive force field.

Zhang Shoucheng and He Yuqing both felt the invasion, and the other three people also felt it. This was because their superpower levels were high enough. If they were ordinary level 1, they might not be able to detect it at all.

"Don't move yet. Listen to my orders later." Zhang Shoucheng told He Yuqing.

"Okay, Captain."

The silent spatial induction spread and extended deep underground. Soon, Zhang Shoucheng discovered that in this area, there were countless weak energy lines underground, like flexible snakes, searching for The target to start with.

After Zhang Shoucheng and others arrived, they were like cats that smelled a fishy smell, pounced on them one after another, trying hard to break through everyone's defensive force field.

There seems to be a monster with countless tentacles lurking underground. Fortunately, they are just invisible energy lines, otherwise the physical image will definitely make people lose their SAN value.

Zhang Shoucheng sensed that the villagers had been tricked. Each of their feet was connected to an energy line. This energy channel was like a puppet line, slowly turning them into selfless action machines.

Ordinary soldiers performing tasks here have also been possessed, and even a few superpowers who are not very powerful have not been able to escape.

"Okay, you spread out your spiritual energy."

After He Yuqing heard the order, she activated her power without hesitation. As her super power spread, the thin energy lines in the ground disconnected and dissipated like frightened rats, without even shrinking, directly disintegrate.

It is very cautious, and it also knows how to survive by cutting off its tail, as if it is afraid that others will find its true body along the route it retracts.

At the same time, this also proved Zhang Shoucheng's guess in the first village that this thing seemed unwilling to encounter psychic superpowers and ran away as soon as it encountered it.

It gives the impression that he has some intelligence, but not much. It seems more like he is following some kind of instinct.

After handing over to the person in charge here, Zhang Shoucheng looked at He Yuqing and said, "I'll leave this place to you."

He Yuqing nodded in agreement, and then, with the cooperation of the military and the Kunyun Provincial Supervision Department, began to expel the imprisonment in the minds of the people here.

She closed her eyes and said after about a few minutes: "Captain, the newcomers are not deeply affected. I have just helped them eliminate the energy. It's just that the villagers are in a little trouble. They have been invaded for a long time. Then This energy is not only imprisoning and controlling them, but is even erasing their original memories bit by bit."

"Is it serious?"

"It's okay, but I may forget some things in the future, but it shouldn't affect my daily life."

"Then it's okay, as long as it doesn't affect your normal life, you can continue."

"Okay, Captain." Under the arrangement of the person in charge here, He Yuqing immediately started the cleaning work. Looking at these hundreds of people, she had a headache. She wished she could do batch operations like just now.

Unfortunately, these villagers were so deeply affected that they had to be eliminated one by one.

"Zixuan, you stay here and be responsible for her safety. The others will follow me to the last village."

After making arrangements, Zhang Shoucheng took the remaining two people and rushed closer to the border.

When Zhang Shoucheng and the others arrived at the third village, the fighting was in full swing. A large number of mutated mole crickets and zombie-like villagers surrounded the support force here.

An unknown number of mole cricket corpses fell outside the encirclement, forming a circle of bunkers. There were also human casualties, and even some uniformed superpowers fell to the ground.

There are too many mutated mole crickets, and they are too ferocious. They are much larger than the ones in the mine before. The hard carapace on the head and front limbs has amazing defensive power. When the bullet hits it, it makes a tinkling sound. Although the clanking sound was not bounced away, it could only be stuck on it and could not penetrate the flesh.

If the target cannot be hit through the weak points of the eyes or hindquarters, the gun's damage to them will be limited, and it must rely on continuous hits of dense bullets to break their shells.

The mole crickets also seem to know their own weaknesses. They hold their huge mutated forelimbs in front of them as shields and charge forward desperately without any intention of retreating. The death of their companions will not have any impact on them.

In addition, from time to time, mole crickets suddenly emerged from the ground in the encirclement to carry out sneak attacks, which forced some superpowers to stay in the middle just in case.

Let this thing rush in, ordinary soldiers can't block their claws.

The situation doesn't end there. Not only are there crickets underground, but there are also dense energy threads waiting for opportunities to move, trying their best to harass the human side.

Even if it only makes an ordinary soldier stunned for a second, it may cause the death of the soldier. At this critical moment, one second can mean a life.

The entire attack of the mole cricket has clear waves and proper division of labor. It does not look like an animal at all, but more like a monster army with unified command.

After the three members of the special mobile team came down, Wang Junyu and Ning Bo immediately entered the battle and quickly supported some brothers who could not resist. After Wang Junyu pulled a soldier to avoid the fatal claw, he raised his other hand, and a strong wind immediately blew several mole crickets in front of him off the ground.

The mole crickets flapped their wings desperately, trying to regain their balance, but the wind blades mixed in the wind chopped their wings into pieces, and along with it, the back half of their bodies were also chopped into pieces, leaving only half of their bodies struggling after landing. Reluctant to die.

The mole cricket's head and front claws have thick carapace, which is difficult to cut, but the rear half of the butt is relatively soft.

Ning Bo's battle was much simpler. With one punch, he smashed the mole cricket's head and carapace into pieces. Under his invincible power, the enhanced version of the protective shell of the mole cricket was no different from an egg.

After Zhang Shoucheng sensed it, he activated his ability and annihilated the thin energy threads and mole crickets that were causing trouble underground. Then with a thought, the charging army of mole crickets seemed to have hit an invisible sharp blade and split into two.

At the moment when the underground energy lines were annihilated, the things hidden behind seemed to feel great terror and immediately cut off all connections. In an instant, all the underground energy lines in this area collapsed on their own.

The remaining crickets and villagers were stunned for a moment, but soon continued the original attack, as if they were executing a program that had been set long ago.

But these no longer pose a threat to the military and combatants in the super-supervisory department.

At this time, the person in charge here came over, shook hands with Zhang Shoucheng, and said thankfully: "Thank you to the support of several comrades of the Special Mobile Team. I thought it was going to be over this time."

"You're welcome, are those villagers hopeless?"

The person in charge shook his head: "It's hopeless. The person from the Spring City General Administration came to see them before. These villagers have had their identities wiped out. They are just puppets now, no different from those crickets."

"Really, then there is nothing we can do." Zhang Shoucheng felt a little pity, and then asked doubtfully: "Isn't it enough to just let you keep the siege? Why did the fight start?"

"At that time, we saw all the villagers gathered in the forest on the other side of the village, seeming to be guarding something, so we planned to go over and have a look. Who knew that it was like poking a hornet's nest, and they immediately launched a siege from all directions."

"It seems that there must be something very important in that place. I'll go over and take a look, and you can continue to clear out the remaining remnants."

After arranging for Wang Junyu and Ning Bo to stay and help, just in case, Zhang Shoucheng went to the forest on the other side of the village alone to find out what was going on, and also to look for the missing official superpowers.
