Chapter 17: Morris Reservoir
Chapter 17: Morris Reservoir
On the way to Los Angeles, the four people found a very important thing.
As long as you enter the city, or more accurately, into a city inhabited by a large number of human beings, those "things" will not appear so "blatantly" and carry out unbridled attacks.
Although I don't understand the principle, being able to find a "weakness" of those "things" that I don't know whether it is a weakness or not also allows the four people to breathe for a moment and be forced to collapse without those "things" more and more frequent and unscrupulous attacks.
However, although those "things" may have received some "bindings" and "restrictions" in human settlements, the four people were keenly aware that the further back they went, the fewer "things" they received. Even if they were surrounded by dense crowds, they began to move. ......
This discovery made Zhang Shen's hearts heavy.
For good, until the four people arrived at the woodland not far from Morris Reservoir (next to Los Angeles), they still stopped within the "ready to move" range, and there was no obvious attack action.
It is said that "eating a chap is a wisdom". In the "death journey" for more than ten days, Zhang Shen doesn't know how many "toughs" he has eaten. Although it is not clear whether "wisdom" has risen or not, at least four of them have become a qualified "wild survival experts"...
The parking spot selected by Zhang Shen is a relatively dense woodland, but the trees have only recently grown, but their arms are thin, and there are no bushes and thorns. There is nothing that can be used by those "things".
"Twenty-five of the bound road, water mirror floating shadow!" ( In the original work, in addition to bondage and confinement, there are also tracking spells. As a perfect auxiliary spell system, there will naturally be no shortage of spells for detection... In addition, the spells of ghost magic in the original work are relatively "strange". Eleven really doesn't want to consume brain cells to compile new spells, so...)
Didn't have time to rest, Li Jing recited the spell and seal, and the spiritual power in his body poured out. It was wrapped and condensed in a mysterious way, turning into a mirror half a meter in diameter, with ripples on it, and pictures flashed quickly.
A few days ago, when Zhang Shen faced a life-and-death crisis, Li Jing was stimulated, broke through, understood the "destruction of singing", and saved Zhang, who was about to be knocked into a pool of meat sauce. However, afterwards, when she tried to use the "destruction of singing" again, she had no choice but to find that it was as incompetent as Duan Yu's six-vein sword, and guessed that it was caused by her own lack of cultivation.
Li Jing's "water mirror floating shadow" detection range is one kilometer. If it exceeds this distance, Li Jing needs to instill spiritual power again. The farther the distance and the more detailed the picture, the spiritual power consumed will also increase significantly. With the current 200-calorie (fan) spiritual power of Li Jing, it can only detect an area of six kilometers at most.
[PS: Card" is not a unit of quantity, but a comprehensive indicator. For example, if a master who has practiced for a lifetime in the low martial arts world, if there is 10,000 "unit" energy in his body, it may be only dozens of cards and hundreds of cards; on the contrary, in that kind of dangerous world of gods and demons, a soldier can only practice for a few years, and 100 "units" energy in his body may also be dozens of cards and hundreds of cards... ...As for the difference between "fan" and "spirit", that is another concept, which will be described in detail later]
Naturally, it is impossible for Li Jing to consume all his spiritual power on reconnaissance, but expand the scope of investigation to a radius of 2,000 meters. In fact, there are also spells in bondage spells that sense soul fluctuations (originally used to search for sensing virtuality or death, but can also be used to search for humans), but it cannot be used at her current level.
"Captain, there are people nearby, and there are many more."
The three of Zhang Shen came over and turned their eyes to the water mirror. The picture on the water mirror was fixed in one place, showing hundreds of people, fully armed, and they did not look like a serious army or police force, but more like underworld armed forces or thugs.
In a circle of thugs, a leader is waving his arms and saying something impassionedly. Hundreds of thugs, all strong and excited, with ferocious murderous intent in their eyes.
"Lichen, take out the nearby map and have a look." Zhang Shen suddenly thought of something and said to Bu Lichen.
The latter unfolds the map of the Los Angeles area, and the words "Morris Reservoir" are eye-catching.
Like other cities in the United States, Los Angeles has established a quarantine zone, separating the government army from ordinary residents. There are also various bloody violent conflicts in the city every day, and the confrontation between the military and the people is very serious.
In order to ensure the water in the whole city - of course, the first is to ensure the water of the military and political forces themselves, the Morris Reservoir will naturally be strictly guarded to prevent crazy guys from poisoning and blowing up the reservoir.
Don't doubt that there is no pressure to do this kind of thing for people who have lost hope of living...
"Release the detection bees and go to the reservoir." Last time, in order to steal the information from the Z City Dragon Group Base, four people exchanged more than a dozen such cheap gadgets. Later, there were similar things in the military supplies given by the arms maniac Tang Tian for free, but the level of technology was similar to that of the world (real earth), slightly inferior.
Weapons, armor, auxiliary equipment, and military supplies in the universal capsule are enough for four people to fight a small-scale battle...
It should be mentioned that the level of this universal capsule exchanged with Tang Tian is not high and can only be used to carry things without energy. In other words, for the current Zhang Shen team, its function is the warehouse of arms and various raw materials and sundries.
The few detection bees released were exchanged at the beginning with the Great Will. They are of excellent quality and high level. Unless they are at the level of the summit conference room, they can't be found at all.
It didn't take long for the reconnaissance bee to send back the picture.
Sure enough, Morris Reservoir has been guarded by the military and political forces in Los Angeles. There are several teams patrolling in dams and other places alone, and there are many heavy armed forces shown in the picture, which is simply a hedgehog.
The reconnaissance bees of the armed forces also returned to the picture. After the leader's lecture, hundreds of people in jungle camouflage seemed to sneak towards the reservoir very professionally.
"Captain, you released the reconnaissance bee. Are you going to intervene?" Li Jing asked curiously.
Along the way, the four people passed through many cities and witnessed the miserable life of ordinary people in the quarantine area. They were very dissatisfied with the power of the U.S. government and army. Although from the perspective of "outsiders", it is understandable to do so - especially after using hackers to watch several videos after the leaked doomsday news.
In fact, during this period, those guys who took the opportunity to do evil in the quarantine area of many urban military personnel mysteriously disappeared, and there were four people...
"You must have sensed the unique atmosphere in Los Angeles ahead." Zhang Shen did not answer and asked.
Bu Lichen and Li Jing both nodded, and Ouyang Tianqi also returned with a positive look.
"Although I don't know what's going on with that strange breath, I have a bad feeling..."
"A lot of similar breath." Ouyang Tianqi suddenly interrupted, "There are many other guards in Los Angeles. In addition, there is a strong atmosphere similar to them.
"Have their 'restrictions' finally been lifted?!" Bu Lichen frowned slightly, and the picture of being chased and killed on the road came to her mind again. At the same time, she felt bitterness in her mouth.
"It doesn't seem easy to fly to Qingguo smoothly... But what does this have to do with captain's interference in this battle?" Li Jing still doesn't understand Zhang Shen's idea.
"The plane to Qing must be very closely controlled by the U.S. government. It is difficult to get on like this. You must find a shield. People who are qualified to board the plane in Los Angeles are afraid that they are almost controlled by others. I think that in such an important place as the Morris Reservoir, there must be big fish guarded. Maybe we can start from here.
"Even if the guess is wrong, it won't take long. Just take a chance."

In a room at Morris Reservoir.
James Lure.
He lay on his** and looked blankly at the low ceiling.
Since he witnessed Zhang Shen's strange way of breaking free, most of James's previous values have been subverted. At the same time, he also paid more attention to this thing that exists in the novel and movie.
In particular, after the arrival of the "devil"*, his three views were completely subverted, from a believer to a devout Christian. After that, inexplicably, the fear of the end was instantly magnified by dozens and hundreds of times...
Therefore, after learning the news that the doomsday would come early through his own channels, James tried his best to go to Zhuoming Valley in Western Tibet Province in advance. Otherwise, in his capacity, although there are boat tickets, it is also the last batch to evacuate.
After trying his best and finding a way out, James Luya successfully got on a line - his boss, the director of FBI* headquarters, Phyllis Tolik.
Originally, although he was an elite of the FBI, it was also very difficult to get on Phyllis' line. The reason why he was able to successfully follow Phyllis as a "driver" was because he had saved Anheuser's life when the latter was not yet developed. Now, Anjoize has made a fortune and is in a high position (it doesn't seem to be mentioned in any professional movies). He finally let James get what he wanted.
As the director of the FBI, Phyllis is usually *, but a few days ago, he suddenly came to Los Angeles... Many people thought he was afraid and wanted to run away in advance to Zhuo Ming Valley. ( There are many people who made this choice. Of course, officials with important responsibilities will not be allowed.) However, those speculations have proved to be purely personal speculations, because after Philips came to Los Angeles, he did not show any desire to board the plane and go to Tibet. Instead, he devoted himself to his work very seriously to maintain Los Angeles. Order.
With his iron-blooded suppression, the "order" in Los Angeles these days is much better than before...
Just yesterday, Phyllis, who became a workaholic, once again found himself a new job, that is, he came to this Morris Reservoir to defend and ensure the water supply of the whole Los Angeles...
Everyone felt strange about his behavior, but although someone wanted to persuade him or test his true intentions, they strangely lost their courage when they came to Phyllis.
James, as an entourage, has a deep feeling about this.
Phillis's back appeared in his mind, and James shivered heavily.
That man is terrible!
