Chapter 32 The Evil Ghost Appears
As time passed, the gravel on the road became larger and larger and began to block the road, making it impassable and the convoy was forced to stop.
"Everyone get off the bus immediately! Spread out and search for the Zhurong Stone!"
After the vehicle stopped, instructions came again from the walkie-talkie.
The person who had been issuing the orders was a powerful ghost rider in the military, who also led a convoy into the mysterious land.
This military ghost rider can obviously monitor the situations of other convoys and issue different instructions based on the different experiences of other convoys.
The soldiers and Feng Quan immediately opened the car door and got out. Each soldier carried a set of equipment to facilitate communication and digging of Zhurong Stone.
After Feng Quan got off the car, he did not walk far, but patrolled around the convoy to prevent any evil spirits from attacking the soldiers.
There are a total of twenty ghost riders like him on this mission, divided into twenty teams, and each person is responsible for the safety of ten transport vehicles.
Assuming that there are four soldiers in each vehicle, excluding the ghost riders, there are a total of 780 ordinary human soldiers participating in the mission this time.
"I wonder how many of these people can return alive?" A thought flashed through Feng Quan's mind.
Feng Quan participated in this mission in order to control the second evil ghost. As long as he could complete this mission, the military would provide him with a chance to control the second evil ghost, but there was no guarantee of 100% success.
But even so, Feng Quan was very satisfied, because he knew that controlling evil spirits was no joke, and being able to get the opportunity provided by the military was already the best result.
"A large amount of Zhurong stones were found in the southwest."
"The Ghost Mist Squad discovered the Zhurong Stone."
"Team Iron Stone discovered a large amount of Zhurong Stone."
"..."
Not long after that, news of various teams discovering the Zhurong Stone kept coming over the intercom.
"It seems that there is a lot of this ore. We should be able to complete the mission quickly. Maybe we can even save some lives this time."
Feng Quan felt a little relieved.
He tuned the intercom to the ghost rider communication channel, wanting to hear about other ghost riders. As soon as he entered the channel, he heard a ghost rider speak:
"It seems that this mission is very simple! I got a ghost-chasing bell for free." The voice of a ghost rider came from the intercom.
It seems that Feng Quan is not the only one who feels that this mission is a bit easy.
"Gui Tou, please don't give me poisonous milk. I still want to go back alive."
"Stupid! Nothing is simple in a spiritual place."
For a while, several ghost riders started arguing on the intercom. Feng Quan found that he didn't hear any useful information, so he switched back to the channel.
More than ten minutes passed, and Feng Quan did not find the evil ghost. At this time, ten transport trucks were loaded with a lot of Zhurong Stone. Zhurong Stone seemed to be the most common thing here.
During the inspection, Feng Quan discovered that the ground here was not as hard as he had imagined. Instead, it felt a bit soft when he stepped on it.
Just use a military shovel to dig a big hole.
"Zhu Rong Stone!"
As soon as he walked behind a huge rock, Feng Quan saw a lot of orange-yellow crystals scattered on the ground. They were the Zhurong Stone, the target of this mission. He picked up a piece and examined it carefully.
Looking at these orange-yellow crystals, Feng Quan was somewhat puzzled. What on earth were these things for? Why was it worth it for the military to send out a convoy of twenty ghost riders and hundreds of soldiers? They also named it Zhurong Stone. Could it catch fire?
Boom!
Just when everyone thought that the mission would go on peacefully, a huge explosion was heard from a distance.
"Everyone, please pay attention! A fierce ghost appeared in the direction of the Guitou Squad, and three soldiers have been killed."
"Everyone prepare to retreat! Prepare to retreat! Please report immediately if you see any evil spirits!"
The sudden message coming from the intercom made everyone tense.
Feng Quan immediately turned on the ghost-exorcism ringtone on his mobile phone and looked around vigilantly. The team in trouble was in the west, and there were two teams between him and the team.
Not too far and not too close.
Feng Quan was not worried about the evil ghosts over there. Even if the ghost head could not be dealt with, the evil ghosts would not get to him for a while. What he was really worried about were the other evil ghosts.
Before participating in the mission, he had read the intelligence about the supernatural volcano provided by the military. It was said that there were hundreds of evil spirits sleeping in the volcano. It was not necessary for all of these evil spirits to appear. As long as one tenth of them appeared, all of them would be wiped out.
"Everyone in the team, move closer to the vehicle. Everyone in the team, move closer to the vehicle." Feng Quan got into the car and gave orders through the in-car intercom.
Not long after Feng Quan issued the order, two soldiers came running back, each carrying a large grass-green cloth bag filled with collected Zhurong stones.
"You two get back to the car immediately and be ready to retreat at any time." Feng Quan ordered after checking the two men.
"Yes, sir." The two soldiers responded and got into the cab and closed the door.
Most of the key parts of these cars are made of gold, especially the cab. As long as the car doors are closed, ordinary evil spirits cannot find them.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Feng Shen.
"Sir, I'm back."
Feng Quan immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. It was the young soldier who drove him back. The young soldier was carrying a huge cloth bag, with his head lowered and his body buried under the bag. But Feng Quan's face was not happy, but solemn, and his eyes had begun to mist, which meant that he was ready to use the power of the ghost fog.
The other party is obviously no longer human.
The external ghost-exorcism bell also began to become sharp and impatient, as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button, and it was obvious that it was suffering from an inexplicable supernatural attack.
Feng Quan was unable to notice when the other party appeared behind him, and when the evil ghost's killing pattern was triggered. Fortunately, he was protected by the ghost-exorcising bell and was not injured.
"Sir, I'm back." Seeing that Feng Quan did not reply, the young soldier under the cloth bag spoke again.
The ghost-exorcising bell began to jam, blocking yet another supernatural attack.
"Using sound to kill people?" Feng Quan said coldly to the young soldier, "Let me take you to rest in peace."
Bang bang bang!
He raised his golden pistol and fired several shots, two of which hit the young soldier in the head.
Unfortunately, the golden bullet could not penetrate the opponent's body, but instead flattened it and fell to the ground from mid-air.
"Sir, I'm back." The young soldier finally raised his head.
What a face it was. The skin was cracked with countless cracks, as if the face was made up of countless fragments. What was exposed under the skin was not flesh and blood, but a substance like lava, emitting a scorching heat.
This is a ghost that escaped from a volcano.
No more delay!
Seeing that the golden pistol did not work, Feng Quan knew that he could not wait any longer. Before he fired, he had heard several gunshots, which meant that he was not the only one who encountered the evil spirit.
It is very likely that everyone here has been targeted by the evil spirits that escaped from the volcano.
The sound of the ghost-exorcising bell also began to distort, and it was obviously reaching its limit.
I can't preserve my strength any longer. If I continue to hide my weaknesses, I'll be dead.
Feng Quan directly used the power of the ghost fog. Endless white fog gushed out from his body and quickly spread around, forming a foggy area covering nearly a hundred meters.
"Sir, I..." The young soldier's voice was stuck.
Feng Quan, who had been spewing white mist in front of the evil ghost just now, disappeared. The evil ghost was unable to find Feng Quan's figure for a while, and the attack naturally ended.
In the fog, the evil ghost that possessed the young soldier began to walk aimlessly, automatically looking for its next target, but because it was still in Feng Quan's ghost domain, it could not get out for the time being.
Seeing this, Feng Quan, who had turned into mist, breathed a sigh of relief. Since this evil ghost could not find him, it would be easy to deal with him. He did not have to fight with it. He could just trap the evil ghost in the ghost realm.
He had done his best to hold back a fierce ghost.
Anyway, his mission was to escort the convoy to transport the Zhurong Stone back, and there was no task of imprisoning evil spirits.
"Um?!"
Several figures walked into the fog. After identification, Feng Quan found that they were soldiers from his team and were still alive.
With a thought, Feng Quan teleported to the side of the three young soldiers.
And at the same time, his figure appears.
"Sir!"*3
When the three soldiers saw Feng Quan, they immediately saluted.
"Don't resist, I will take you away." Feng Quan didn't waste any words and directly used the ghost domain again to send the three people to the transport vehicle, and told them to be ready to evacuate at any time after getting on the vehicle.
"Now that five people have returned, even if all of them drive, they can only take away five cars, and they may not be able to return to the base safely." Feng Quan began to calculate in his mind.
"Just wait one more minute. If no one comes back, I'll leave."
The reason for setting this time is that opening the ghost realm with all his strength would cause great damage to Feng Quan. Now he can only open it for one and a half minutes. If the time is longer, there will be a danger of the supernatural revival.
If there was no ghost realm, Feng Quan would have to face the evil ghost trapped in the ghost realm, which was not what he wanted.
The reason why Feng Quan stayed and waited instead of leaving immediately was not because he was loyal to his duties, but because he wanted to earn contribution points to the military.
When he was at the military base, he once saw the fake death yellow paper and its brief introduction on the military's exchange list.
Feng Quan really wanted to exchange one, but it would require a large amount of contribution points.
The way to obtain contribution points is to complete the tasks issued by the military.
For example, in the mission of collecting and transporting Zhurong Stone that they participated in, the minimum completion standard was to transport back ten tons of Zhurong Stone, only then would the mission be considered completed.
But escorting the convoy to collect ten tons of Zhurong Stone is only the most basic task. If more Zhurong Stone can be transported back to the base on the basis of ten tons, Feng Quan will get more merit points.
He naturally chose to give it a try.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the one minute was about to be up.
During this period, Feng Quan rescued two more soldiers, and the convoy was able to move seven vehicles.
Just as Feng Quan was about to leave, he sensed two living soldiers, but before he could act, a new evil spirit appeared.
A fierce ghost followed two soldiers to Feng Quan's ghost domain...
Save or not?
