"An hour ago, 'Hell Messenger' just passed Hongni Town, which is two hundred kilometers away. By calculating its trajectory, it can be found that after it turned to the south, its movement speed suddenly accelerated. According to its movement speed, it is expected that it will cross the warning boundary and enter Land of Chaos in twelve hours. In other words, our capture time..."
"Better finish within ten hours!"
"..."
"Ten hours?"
Xia Chong frowned slightly when he heard this.
She leaned over slightly and carefully observed the data on the electronic map, frowning slightly.
Even Lu Xin didn't expect that they would be so anxious about this arrest mission. Based on their previous understanding of their mission, they had to calculate the course of action of the Mental Monster, intercept it, and set up an encirclement around its retreat. It sounded like a huge workload, and the error tolerance rate was very low. Should all this work be completed within ten hours?
Frowning slightly, he caught the key point and asked curiously, "What is the cordon?"
Xia Chong straightened up slightly and said, "The south is under the jurisdiction of Land of Chaos, Seed Mining Group."
Lu Xin thought for a while and then said, "Seed Mining Group?"
Xia Chong frowned slightly. "You don't even know Seed Mining Group?"
Lu Xin suddenly became a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, I am a rather homely person..."
There were three Xia Chong, scalpel, and Beast Tamer. They all looked at Lu Xin.
I feel that the knowledge of this mysterious private soldier in Qinggang does not match his strength.
However, he patiently explained to Lu Xin, "The reason why we are so anxious about this task is because according to the action route of this Mental Monster, it is estimated that it will soon enter the south of the alliance, which is an extremely chaotic and disorderly area."
"The south of the alliance is the jurisdiction of Seed Mining Group."
"Although this mining group also has a cooperative relationship with the alliance, they are not a member of the alliance."
"And in the area under its jurisdiction, dragons and snakes are mixed. There are dozens of mysterious organizations including True Hometown, Daytime Society, Fox Immortal Temple, etc. Once the monster enters, our capture mission may be affected by a large number of unknown factors."
"..."
After listening to Xia Chong explain it in detail, Lu Xin finally understood.
After Crimson Moon appeared in the sky, order collapsed and the entire wilderness became chaotic.
The various forces compete, fight, and annex, each defending its own corner and developing independently.
In the north, due to the presence of Research Institute, the surrounding situation was quickly stabilized. Twelve High Wall City and large and small gathering points were established to form alliances and unify laws. They surrounded Central City and Eclipse Research Institute to form the Northern Alliance.
Correspondingly, there are Technological Church in the south and Land of Chaos in the middle.
In addition, there are other large and small forces, such as the previous Sea Nation, Misty Islands in the Eastern Sea, Mountain Wandering Cities in the west, and small distant countries located in the far north and even the far west, etc. There are probably hundreds of large and small forces.
Various forces are complex and together constitute the chaotic but relatively stable situation under Crimson Moon today.
Among them, in the south of the alliance, Land of Chaos, the nominal leader is Seed Mining Company.
It is said that this Seed Mining Company was originally a large multinational enterprise that existed before Crimson Moon. However, after the order collapsed, it did not collapse like other orders. Instead, it survived those years with difficulty. Expanding its power bit by bit, in the process of gradually rebuilding order, a super-large organization with a group structure as its mode of existence and control of huge resources was formed.
However, the central part is originally full of swamps and mountains, and the number of restricted areas is much greater than in the north, dividing that large area into different small areas. In addition, the survival model of Seed Mining Group is not based on gathering the population to seek common development. The population in various gathering points is not managed at all, and it is even intentionally allowed to allow them to fight, fight, and compete for limited resources.
This resulted in a chaotic background in such a large area, and various disputes continued all year round.
And this kind of chaos also attracted a lot of people, and mysterious organizations and knights, large and small, also got involved.
Therefore, even Research Institute investigators like Xia Chong and the others have a great headache in these places.
They didn't want to enter such a place to arrest anything unless they had to.
Too much confusion and whatever the plan is, the difficulty will be doubled.
"Regarding the matter of soul trading, we originally suspected that believers in True Hometown were involved, but we have never obtained tangible evidence. And currently, many clues that Research Institute has, also point to the headquarters of the True Hometown mysterious organization possibly being in Land of Chaos. Therefore, our mission this time is to catch the monster before it enters Land of Chaos."
Xia Chong finished telling Lu Xin about Seed Mining Group and turned back to the task.
"Originally we thought it would take two days to cross that line, but now it seems that we don't have enough time. In order to avoid unnecessary variables, we must intercept it before it crosses the cordon."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded and listened humbly.
The task is theirs, I just come here to help, just put the pestle there for a while.
Therefore, don't express your opinions randomly. Do what others say and do what you do.
We must not give them the chance to deduct their two million.
As for the Land of Chaos mining company they were talking about, Lu Xin didn't feel particularly stressed.
After all, I am not familiar with these places...
"In this case, let's see if there are any suitable arresting locations on the remaining routes."
After Xia Chong introduced Lu Xin, he looked at Negative Zero Unit again.
The two Negative Zero Unit team members did not show any emotion after hearing this. They just looked at the various data as told, and then said:
"Judging from the remaining journey, the only one suitable for us to set up a trap is Hongni Town."
As he spoke, he pointed to the end of the dotted line:
"This is the place where the monster is passing by now. It is a certain distance away from other gathering points."
"..."
Xia Chong said, "How many people are there in this town?"
Negative Zero Unit's team member operated it and said, "About 30,000 people."
Xia Chong nodded, then stared at the red dot, lost in thought.
Lu Xin also stared at the red dot, showing contemplation and appearing to be working seriously.
But he didn't understand what Xia Chong was thinking about.
The scalpel on the side looked at the words and seemed to see something, but did not say anything. Instead, he lowered his voice and carefully explained to Lu Xin, "That Mental Monster was sacrificed and transformed by a group of members of a mysterious organization. It is somewhat different from the ordinary Mental Monster. Its measured spiritual level is about 100,000, but it will gradually weaken as time goes by."
"So, it needs to pollute other people from time to time in order to maintain its own spiritual level."
"This characteristic determines that its route of action needs to pass through some gathering points with people."
"We want to capture it, so naturally we have to do it at such a gathering point. Hongni Town has enough residents for it to contaminate, and there are no other gathering points around it. Therefore, if the monster's way forward is blocked, it will definitely return here."
"But if we want to set a trap, we need to take into account the local situation and the degree of cooperation of the residents. There are about 30,000 people in this Hongni Town, which is already a very high population. The folk customs are also relatively strong, so they may not necessarily cooperate with our work."
"Force the monster back here to capture it. Once it gets out of control, these 30,000 people will be threatened."
"This number is also beyond our endurance limit."
"..."
Lu Xin suddenly realized it and said, "What should we do?"
Scalpel said, "What else can we do? We must still set up a siege here. There is no other choice at all."
Lu Xin was startled, looked at Xia Chong carefully, and said, "Then what else is she thinking about?"
Scalpel smiled and said, " Captain Xia Chong has the weaknesses of ordinary people. He will think about the problem for a long time when he has no choice. And after he finally had to decide here, he will tell some things that we already understand, and we don't think it is a waste of time."
Lu Xin suddenly looked at the scalpel with a strange look.
Scalpel shrugged and said, "It's not just Captain Xia Chong, many people in the world are like this."
Lu Xin Although it was a bit difficult to understand what he said, he thought for a while and nodded, "What you said does make sense."
"Okay..."
Sure enough, after pondering for a minute or two, Xia Chong solemnly nodded. "Just right here."
Scalpel immediately glanced at Lu Xin, as if to say, am I right?
Xia Chong added, "However, if you choose to set up an encirclement here, you must pay attention to the rigor and efficiency of the arrest process. Once that Mental Monster is given the opportunity to spread pollution, the entire Hongni Town residents will be affected..."
"In addition, Hongni Town is already close to Land of Chaos, so I'm afraid he won't agree to cooperate with our work so easily."
"This problem needs to be addressed."
"..."
Lu Xin immediately looked at the scalpel, almost admiring him.
"Leave it to me to convince Hongni Town to cooperate with this matter."
At this moment, Beast Tamer listened to Xia Chong's words, nodded, and said with a smile, "I am very good at persuasion."
Lu Xin glanced at her subconsciously and felt that her "persuasion" was not the persuasion he understood.
"I will arrange the encirclement."
Scalpel also smiled and raised his hand, saying, "It should be arranged within three hours."
"Very good."
Xia Chong nodded. He was not tall but very majestic. He turned to look at Lu Xin and said:
"In this case, I will be responsible for sending Mr. Shanbing to..."
Scanning the electronic map, he quickly settled on a place, raised his hand and pointed, saying, "Here."
"What I need to remind you, Mr. Single Soldier, is that forcing the monster to turn around and come back is the most important part of our plan."
"The basis for the success of our plan is that the monster will turn around and come back as soon as it sees you."
"Otherwise, no matter where it turns, our encirclement will lose its original function."
"..."
Facing her serious nod, Lu Xin nodded seriously and said, "Okay."
Xia Chong fell silent again, as if thinking about something.
Lu Xin glanced at the scalpel.
Scalpel said in a voice that only they could hear, "She is thinking about whether there is anything missing..."
Lu Xin also lowered his voice and whispered, "Is there any?"
Scalpel said, "Strictly speaking, there are many omissions, but a normal person like her would never think of it..."
"But it doesn't matter, I will make up for her..."
"..."
While they were discussing, Xia Chong raised his head again and said, "There is nothing missing, everyone is ready to go!"
Everyone in the room immediately loudly agreed.
Lu Xin also glanced at Xia Chong, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed her palm.
Xia Chong glanced at Lu Xin, then let him hold her, walked to the door, opened it gently, turned the handle and walked out.
Then, go out, go down the stairs, walk through the lobby, and come to the jeep in the yard.
"Huh?"
Lu Xin waited until Xia Chong opened the car door, then asked in surprise, "Aren't you passing through the abyss?"
Xia Chong glanced at Lu Xin and said, "It is at least more than three hundred miles from here to the place where you want to stop that Mental Monster. My current ability is not enough to lead a person across such a long distance easily, so let's drive first..."
"This..."
Only then did Lu Xin suddenly realize that Xia Chong could not walk freely in the abyss.
Xia Chong raised his head and glanced at Lu Xin, and suddenly said, "Are my hands soft?"
Lu Xin pinched it subconsciously and said, "It's okay."
Xia Chong nodded and said, "That's good. You can let me go now. I can't drive while holding hands."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin finally reacted and hurriedly let go of her hand, her face already red.
Misunderstanding...
Come on, hold my hand and vote hard
