Chapter 31 Intersection
The crowd dispersed,
Wang Xiaoming was on his way to the laboratory.
After receiving a call from Zhao Jianguo, the other party first congratulated him on becoming the head of the base.
Wang Xiaoming ignored him and asked directly what he wanted to know: "I heard from Minister Xie that after becoming the head of the base, the authority in the headquarters will be increased. I want to know what it is?"
Zhao Jianguo did not refuse and directly transferred the information to Wang Xiaoming's mobile phone.
"I've sent you all the information. You can take a look at it later." Zhao Jianguo said, "In addition to congratulating you on your promotion, I actually have a few more things to tell you."
"I have collected thirty portions of the Ghost Rider's blood you need. They will be delivered to you today. Please remember to sign for them when the time comes."
Thirty portions of Ghost Rider's blood mean hundreds of magical runes.
Not bad.
"That's good news. Anything else?"
"I have reported your becoming a ghost rider. I think someone will contact you today for an investigation."
Headquarters review...
Wang Xiaoming was not afraid, he knew it was just a routine procedure.
It would be beneficial for him to pass the examination, because he can then call himself a ghost rider and use some special abilities, and people will only think that it is his power to control evil spirits.
He no longer needs to hide his identity as a Beyonder.
"Well, I will deal with it. Is there anything else?" Wang Xiaoming continued.
After talking about two things in a row, Zhao Jianguo finally said what he was most worried about.
"Also, regarding the matter of Longmen Town, the headquarters has decided to take action today."
"Are you ready?" Wang Xiaoming was a little surprised when he heard the news. He didn't expect the headquarters to act so quickly.
"There's nothing we can do. The military has already taken action against the mysterious volcano, and we can't fall too far behind." Zhao Jianguo said helplessly.
"This is the style of the military. The efficiency is still as high as ever." Wang Xiaoming sighed when he heard that the military had begun to act.
As one of the five ministries, the military department is in charge of the military power of Renguo. It has troops stationed in every province across the country. In the early stages of the outbreak of supernatural events, these troops played a major role.
Whenever a supernatural event occurs, they are always on the front line.
As the number of supernatural incidents handled increased, there were quite a few ghost handlers in the army. In the early days of the establishment of the headquarters, many ghost handlers joined the headquarters.
It’s just that the army has been at the forefront of supernatural events, with heavy casualties, the ghost handlers are replaced at a faster rate, and every day there are ghost handlers who are imprisoned by their comrades because of the resurrection of the supernatural.
Therefore, most of the ghost riders in the army are beings that ride on a fierce ghost, and they are not very scary.
As more and more supernatural events occurred, some powerful supernatural events began to appear. The military's ghost-chasing team suffered huge casualties and began to slowly retreat to the second line, and the headquarters began to come to the fore.
"We can't help it. They have transferred more than a dozen ghost riders from the south this time. Now many cities in the south are in a vacuum zone without a person in charge. If a supernatural incident breaks out, the headquarters will not be able to rescue them in time."
"If it weren't for the need to create some special vehicles for traveling in supernatural places, the military would have probably taken action long ago," Zhao Jianguo explained.
While Wang Xiaoming and Zhao Jianguo were discussing the military,
A military base in the southern part of Renguo has begun to take action. Two hundred military transport vehicles have driven out of the base and are heading towards a low mountain in the distance.
The short mountain originally had no name, but because it was connected to a volcano in a mysterious place, it was named Huodou by the military.
Huodou was originally a monster in ancient mythology that could breathe fire and eat fire. People generally regard them as a sign of fire and an extremely ominous symbol.
Now this low mountain is an ominous place. Feng Quan is sitting on a transport vehicle at this moment. He is also one of the dozen or so ghost riders who were selected.
The driver was a soldier with a resolute face, and there were two fully armed soldiers in the back seat.
Apart from these ghost riders, each transport vehicle has the same configuration. The soldiers will be responsible for driving and carrying a kind of ore called Zhurong Stone, while Feng Quan and other ghost riders will be responsible for dealing with evil spirits that appear during the transportation process.
These soldiers were informed of the dangers of this mission before setting off. It was a life-threatening situation, but Feng Quan did not see any fear in the soldiers, as if they were not afraid of death.
"Attention all units, we are about to reach the intersection!"
"Attention all units, we are about to reach the intersection!"
"Attention all units, we are about to reach the intersection!"
After receiving three consecutive reminders from the intercom in the cab, Feng Quan discovered that the soldier driving the car was obviously getting nervous, his hands and feet were stiff, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
It turned out that the soldier was not unafraid, he just suppressed this emotion deep in his heart.
"Don't let your hands shake, otherwise the car will overturn before we reach our destination." Feng Quan said to the soldiers expressionlessly.
"Yes, sir," the soldier replied succinctly.
The soldiers gradually relaxed a little, apparently Feng Quan's jokes were still useful.
At this time, the vehicle had arrived at the foot of Huodou Mountain.
Feng Quan also saw the so-called intersection point, which was a deep and empty hole floating in the air. Below the hole, the military built a huge platform, as if lifting the hole in the air.
A gentle slope is built on one side of the platform, and vehicles can drive into the cave along the slope.
A complex fixing device was also built around the hole to fix a heavy golden door. The military usually relied on this golden door to seal the space of the mysterious volcano. At this time, the door had been opened and the golden door was dragged to the side of the hole.
Feng Quan suddenly felt the vehicle pause slightly. He knew that this was the bump caused by the vehicle going up the platform slope, and the vehicle was moving towards the hole.
For some reason, Feng Quan felt a little nervous. This feeling had rarely appeared since he became a ghost rider.
At this moment, when this trace of tension appeared, Feng Quan actually felt a little nostalgic.
The transport vehicle continued to move forward, and when it passed a clear white line, the space around the vehicle suddenly changed dramatically. The bright sky became dim, and the original low mountain turned into a volcano emitting black smoke.
The volcano is black in appearance, like a huge chimney rising from the earth.
Just by seeing the mysterious volcano, Feng Quan felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
After passing the intersection, the vehicle appeared on a flat ground covered with gravel, still some distance away from the mysterious volcano. The vehicle continued to drive, but the road was extremely difficult to drive on.
The military transport vehicles began to shake, but fortunately these vehicles were specially made with gold materials added, so they did not stall.
"We have entered a supernatural place. All units have started self-inspection. Please reply if you receive any."
"We have entered a supernatural place. All units have started self-inspection. Please reply if you receive any."
"We have entered a supernatural place. All units have started self-inspection. Please reply if you receive any."
Three consecutive calls came through the walkie-talkie again, and the soldier immediately began to perform complicated operations on the vehicle. After testing all the functions and finding no problems, he reported to his superiors through the walkie-talkie.
"Please abandon the problematic vehicle immediately, and the soldiers on board should join other normal vehicles nearby."
"The convoy began to disperse as planned and headed to their destinations to mine ore."
Just after everyone finished reporting, new instructions came over the intercom.
The convoy led by Feng Quan did not encounter any vehicle problems, and they were heading towards the area assigned in advance.
