Happy National Day, where are you all going to play?
In the order in which Jiangtian handles abnormal situations, there are naturally priorities; among them, the most densely populated and most economically developed Lianghuai, Jiangdong, and Zhejiang Provinces are given priority, followed by Jiangxi and Liangling; and finally Shanduo The land is sparse and the population is concentrated along the Fujian Road along the coast.
Therefore, in the following period, in addition to Huayang Cave and Linwu Cave, he also explored and inspected the top ten caves: Yushan Dayoukong Ming Cave in Huangyan County, Taizhou; Qingyuping on Chicheng Mountain in Tangxing County, Taizhou Cave Heaven; Chengdeyinxuan Cave Heaven in Kuocang Mountain in Le'an County, Chuzhou;
Among the thirty-six small caves: Danshan Chishui Cave in Siming Mountain in Shangyu County, Yuezhou; Jixuan Dayuan Cave in Huiji Mountain in Shanyin County; Lingzhen Cave in Lushan Cave in Jiujiang County, Jiangxi Province; Tianzhu Bao in Xishan Mountain in Xinjian County There are more than ten places including the Jixuan Cave Heaven and the famous Tianzhu Sixuan Cave Heaven in Qianshan, Huainan.
However, no regional contaminating mutation events have occurred. At most, there are just some mutated beasts in the mountains and forests. Therefore, except for the Liangling Road further south that has not yet been reported, the only ones left are the Huolin Cave Cave in Huotong Mountain in Changxi County, Fujian Road, and the Zhensheng Huaxuan Cave Cave in Wuyi Mountain in Chong'an County, Jianzhou.
Among them, Huolin Cave, the first of the thirty-six small caves located in Huotong Mountain, Changxi County, has received a clear response from the local state government; although a large-scale animal tide broke out, the local Sanqing Temple and Youxian Lake The soldiers and civilians have evacuated and moved to Changxi County;
Therefore, it is only necessary to assign a group of troops to conduct exploration and decide whether to mobilize local troops to carry out clearing or expulsion, or to establish a corresponding blockade. On the contrary, the situation in Wuyi Mountain in Chong'an County, Jianzhou is even more pessimistic; contact was lost almost a few months ago.
Then, Wenling Town, the town closest to Wuyi Mountain, also lost news for a long time. Afterwards, the Jianzhou government sent several batches of men to investigate, but no one returned them. The last time they sent two brigades (100 members) from the city to train, but there was no news at all.
That's why the matter got serious, and the state government could no longer cover it up. It had to report it to the court and ask for special personnel to be dispatched to deal with it. However, it was reported to the capital all the way, and then forwarded to Jiang Tian. This delay and delay , already several months later;
And when Jiang Dan went up the Lanxi River from Chuzhou on the East Zhejiang Road to Shangrao, Xinzhou, Jiangxi, he got the news; the local Xianxialing Seven-foot Ancient Road leading to Fujian was also known as They are Jiangpu Post Road and Zhejiang-Fujian Official Road, which have been suspended for some time due to wild beasts.
This seven-foot ancient road is located between high mountains, cliffs and deep valleys. Most places are extremely narrow. The road surface, suspended plank roads and short bridges carved out of the mountains and rocks are often only two or three steps wide; even a standard-sized four-wheel carriage cannot pass it. They meet and travel, but they can only draw horses and walk.
Therefore, it was not conducive to the passage of large groups of people at all; Jiang Tian sent people with special equipment to expel and eliminate hundreds of various alienated beasts along the way from Xianxia Pass to Fengling Pass; he was able to arrive in Fujian. Pucheng County within the border area also received more bad news.
Because at this time, Pucheng County was also seriously troubled by local alienated tigers; tigers that became as big as buffaloes, driven by hunger in winter, ran directly out of the mountains and forests and wreaked havoc on people and livestock in villages and towns; even The swarms threaten Pucheng County itself.
The low city walls and the patrolling civilians and soldiers cannot stop these insects with excellent night vision, but the cunning and extremely cunning insects climb over the city under the cover of night and bite them to death or carry them away without any precautions. of women and children. He even walked away while being rounded up by local patrolmen beating gongs and drums.
Therefore, the big tigers, which move in groups in broad daylight, turned the suburbs, which were originally lined with roads and prosperous with business travel, into deserted ruins. In order to prevent these ferocious beasts from hiding, Pucheng County sent people to the state capital to ask for help, and at the same time recruited people to burn down the city's lower square.
Fortunately, although the support from the state capital was delayed, they unexpectedly welcomed the arresting censor passing by. Dealing with these evil and extremely cunning tigers is only a piece of work for the expert team members who act as the vanguard; even laymen can fight against them with weapons.
However, the changes caused by the celestial phenomena also seem to have strengthened the intelligence and perception of these ferocious beasts; or in other words, their instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Therefore, the local government repeatedly set up traps and baits in an attempt to kill one or two people; however, they were always easily destroyed and the live bait was taken away calmly.
On one occasion, he even risked his life by setting up traps and ambushes in an attempt to besiege them; however, they were easily seen through by these beasts' sense of smell. After Shan came to attack Western style and captured a large number of people in Chenggu, he broke into the home of a local big businessman and killed all his family members on the spot.
But this time, these ferocious beasts encountered expert team members who had experienced hundreds of battles and dealt with countless aliens; they directly rejected the local government's suggestions for seduction and ambush. Because they had other missions, they didn't waste any time and directly chose to clear the caves.
Under the guidance of several team members who also had specialized senses such as smell, vision, and hearing, the remaining people followed the traces left by these animals and easily found the secret habitat where the tigers were entrenched and hidden. At least in the face of the sudden attack of explosive gunpowder, steel, fire oil, etc.
These alienated tigers are no more tough or powerful than other alien species; in their sleep, their heads were burnt to pieces and their flesh and blood flew everywhere; while they were fleeing in panic, they were attacked by spears and spears. Pierced and stabbed to death, cut into pieces with knives, chopped into pieces with long axes;
However, in the large tiger den full of leftover bones and filth, Jiang Tian, who went to investigate the site in person, seemed to have discovered some doubts and clues. We must know that tigers, the king of the forest, have always been solitary. What is the reason for them to form groups?
Therefore, in the end, several cubs that had not yet been weaned and had their eyes opened were deliberately left behind to serve as one of the candidate samples for future studies on the degree of physical mutation of native beasts. After being delayed for two days due to this incident, Jiang Tian and his party set off again to the neighboring Chong'an County.
As the largest local mine - Chong'an Field, Chong'an County was upgraded; it is just a low-level small county located between mountains with a household registration of only tens of thousands. It is famous for its many silver, lead, cinnabar (mercury) mines dotted throughout the territory. The market is the main economic pillar and source of income.
Its county seat is located in Chongcheng Town, surrounded by mountains. Although it is only a few dozen miles away from Pucheng County, it takes a lot of time to climb the winding mountain roads. But fortunately, these expert team members led by Jiang Tian have physical endurance, explosive power, and speed that are several times that of ordinary people.
They also have varying degrees of night vision and other enhanced senses; therefore, they can ignore obstacles such as steep and rugged mountain roads or high cliffs, deep valleys, and cliffs. Even after a long journey, you can recover quickly with a short rest and food.
Jiang Tian, who soared on the wind for a while, acted as aerial surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as threat warning and central control. Therefore, it only took them more than half a day to complete the dozens of miles of mountain trails that were originally buried by falling rocks and large patches of snow.
However, when they arrived at Chong'an County in the high mountains and deep gorges, they found another dilapidated and depressed situation. Because in the county town with broken outer walls, everyone who could escape had already fled; only thousands of old, weak, women and children who could not escape were left, hiding in houses with nailed doors and windows and lingering.
After meeting the foreign officers and soldiers, some vitality and vitality were slightly aroused; however, the elected representatives of the elders couldn't help but smile with force after meeting Jiang Tian and his hundreds of soldiers. , unable to conceal the disappointment in his eyes.
It wasn't until he heard that there were more backups that he suddenly cheered up. He mobilized the remaining manpower in the city to boil water and cook in order to welcome and reward the reinforcements sent by the court. In the process, Jiang Tian finally learned what was happening there.
Not long ago, Chong'an County/Chongcheng Town, which was small in size and had limited city walls, experienced several incidents of beasts rushing into the city. However, in addition to the county magistrate who had fled his hometown, the local county magistrates and county lieutenants still performed their duties and led the people to block the attack of these beasts.
Then, there were differences and disputes between the county magistrate and the county captain; the county magistrate wanted to wait for the crowd in the city to gather behind closed doors and wait for backup and support from the state government. But the county captain wanted to lead his troops out of the city to meet and rescue the common people in the mines, villages, and towns scattered in the mountains.
It was thought to strengthen the defense force in the city. Because the two parties could not agree on their own reasons for arguing, it led to the mediocre result of the dispersion of power; the county captain led hundreds of armed people and rural soldiers out of the city to search for possible survivors in the mountains and villages; the county magistrate led another group Stay in the city.
However, there was no news of the county captain's return as soon as he led the team; and as time went by, people in the city began to become more and more panicked; but the county magistrate hid in the county government office to drink away his sorrows and get drunk. Therefore, although no more beasts appeared since then, fleeing began in the city.
One day, someone suddenly discovered that the county magistrate had disappeared at an unknown time. The whole city was in an uproar and scrambled to break open the door and leave. Together with the last remaining strong men and country soldiers who were guarding the city, they also fled. Over time, these old and weak people who cannot walk or run far are the only ones left in the city.
However, when Jiang Tian asked about the news about Wenling Town, another big town in Chong'an County, these abandoned old and weak people basically didn't know anything about it. On the contrary, when we took over and searched the county government office, we found some clues; but there were more than a dozen official documents and letters received.
Among the more eye-catching things, for example, among the witness reports in several silver mountains and iron sand mines, some very violent Rumpelstiltskin was caught, and the horned monster was beaten to death on the spot when he broke in to steal things. The corpse of an imp; someone else encountered a large millipede when going down the cave.
Also, more than a month ago, the Jianzhou Prefectural Government sent a letter saying that it had dispatched a united force to go north from Jianyang City to Chong'an to strengthen defense; then nothing happened. Did anything happen in this, an accident or change that was not humane?
Therefore, the Wenling town that appeared in front of Jiang Tian now, surrounded by green plants in winter, is most likely the product of continuous alienation. But unexpectedly, the team members who went to investigate first reported that there seemed to be normal humans living among them.
