Ye Xi's unintentional rant caused the car to be quiet for a while. After three traffic lights, Zhang Liping's phone call reached Xiao Leng's cell phone. Ye Xi also received a call from Wang Xinran.
The two people were too close, listening to each other could not help but disturb each other, moreover, this coincidence revealed a sense of wanting to find them for the same thing.
"You answer first." Xiao Leng finished speaking and directly pressed the hang up button. Ye Xi transferred the phone to Wang Xinran and turned on the speaker: "Wei Xinran, how is it?"
"Ye Xi, are you in a hurry now?" Wang Xinran was in a hurry, "There was a series of traffic accidents on the northbound expressway near the Shajiang toll station. You should be able to see the location directly on the map. If you don't say it, just go ahead."
"Car accident?" Diep Tich was stunned, "Shouldn't this be handed over to the police?"
Wang Xinran said: "The traffic has passed, but the owners of those cars have all disappeared, so there was a series of collisions."
"Therefore, the traffic department reported the incident to number 17, and Minister Ding summoned all available team members to come over."
Own?
Tieu Lanh's eyebrows jumped: "Is it that serious?"
Diep Tich glanced at him and asked Vuong Tam Nhiem: "Truong Lap Binh called Team Tieu, is it also because of this?"
Vuong Tam Nhiem said: "That's right, we are all working overtime and are about to go out."
Diep Tich said: "You tell him not to fight, I will go with Tieu Doi together, we will see the scene?"
"Okay, I saw the scene!" Wang Xinran finished speaking and quickly hung up the phone. Xiao Leng used his hand to touch the electronic money box, opened the map, flipped it twice, and found the collapsed section on the north city highway.
... It was a very long and very serious stretch of road, marked on the map in crimson red, meaning a difficult step, and next to it were two labels, one written "km, 1 hour 42 minutes", this was the estimated travel time at this stage under the current situation.
Another one says "Traffic control", is to remind drivers that this road is no longer passable, the situation allows for the suggestion of a detour first.
Tieu Lanh's eyes froze, he knocked on the cabinet door, took out the scene lamp and gave it to Diep Tich: "Help me put it on the roof of the car."
"Okay." Diep Tich opened the door light switch, pressed down the car window, and reached out to push the door light up.
This kind of portable police light was prepared by them, it can be directly absorbed on the roof of the car, specially for emergency use. As the police lights sparkled, the cars passing by the roadside gave way, the two people quickly got on the highway.
Speaking ahead, Ye Xi was still very nervous, because if all the 20 km of road were car accidents, there would probably be more than a thousand cars, and even if each car only had one driver, there would still be more than a thousand people entering the quai.
But on the highway after not long, she was relieved, because she discovered that the serious road accident was included in the traffic control. The management department at the Shajiang toll station took the two toll gates to the south first set up a pile, and the car that was going to Shajiang toll station was evacuated first. The two toll stations that had already left the wrong place were also turned around and disposed of. For a while, it was very orderly, but because the incident was sudden, and there were many cars, it was inevitable that there was a road accident.
Xiao Leng's car's roof lights quickly attracted the attention of the traffic police. A policeman on a motorcycle greeted him. Xiao Leng opened the car window to show him the work. The policeman immediately cooperated with the car to dodge, giving them a way to go first to the detection location.
After spending half an hour, the front finally completely lost sight of the other car. A thick fog appeared within sight, in front there were several temporarily erected blue tents, outside the tents there were policemen to maintain order, Ye Xi happened to see Yang Ge walking towards the tent, so he said to Xiao Leng: "Yang Ge is… This is tent 17, should we go over there and park the car?"
"Okay." Xiao Leng looked around, stopped the car on the side of the road, and walked towards the tent with Ye Xi.
When the two of them walked in, Yang Ge was complaining: "Drag the driver into a strange chat? He's getting more and more excessive!"
Diep Tich deeply agreed with this sentence.
Before, he would randomly drag people into strange discussions. Once he entered the unknown of life and death, he would be very excessive. But now he specializes in driving, causing large-scale traffic accidents, leading to more chaos and economic losses.
Duong Ca finished speaking and noticed someone coming in. He turned his head and saw: "You're here!"
Diep Tich went straight to the point and asked: "What's the situation? How many people went in?"
"Not sure." Duong Ca shook his head, "If we calculate by car number, there are about 7 kilometers ahead, at least a few hundred cars."
Tieu Lanh frowned: "These cars are touching each other at the same time?"
"That island is not it." Yang Ge said, "The distance from the first incident until now, is only three hours."
Tieu Lanh asked again: "Then why are you looking for us now?"
Yang Ge smiled bitterly: "Because at first, we were definitely looking for a traffic police, but the traffic police that had come to the vicinity had already disappeared, so everyone was momentarily unclear about the situation. Later, there were more and more traffic accidents, and the second and eighth traffic police arrived at the scene. When they were about to enter the foggy area, someone discovered so many car accidents, but there was actually no one on the road. They felt something was wrong, so they contacted us."
Similarly, if a serious car accident occurs, the driver and passengers cannot get out of the car by themselves, and can only stay in the car. But in less serious car accidents, the driver will most of the time get out of the car first to check the damage.
Hundreds of cars collided at the same time but no one could see the road surface, which was really strange.
Diep Tich nodded: "In other words, that 7 km car crash, not a single person was left behind?"
"Not sure yet." Yang Ge sighed, "The situation is chaotic, once entering the fog area, he could be sucked into the strange pond at any time, unable to go in to check. But based on previous experience, he should have left the minors and the elderly behind, so there should be elderly people and children inside."
Tieu Lanh asked: "When to act?"
Yang Ge said: "Minister Ding means to wait for an hour, and as many team members as possible will come, and from this area, they will split into groups and enter. Based on past experience, if this strange place is a few parallel copies, then everyone can try to disperse to different copies when entering, and try to protect as many people as possible."
"However, this time we don't know the dungeon at all, we don't know its content or format, and the death rate could be higher, so..." Yang Ge paused, looked at Ye Xi and said, "Everyone has the right to refuse to enter."
Tieu Lanh calmly said: "Do it for me. I will go check around first, when I see you, call me."
The so-called "right to refuse entry" is to consider that the team members also have family members, so in the situation where there are enough manpower, Minister Ding gives everyone the right to choose.
But he has no family, he is more suitable for adventure than anyone.
Diep Tich said in a low voice: "I'll go too."
For her, if she could choose to never enter the strange talk, then she would immediately refuse to enter, to avoid all danger, and also to avoid her parents suffering because of her.
But that is not likely.
So it's better to refuse the opportunity and leave it to others. At least she has the strength that everyone approves of, making her take risks means a higher chance of survival.
After saying that, she looked at Tieu Lanh: "Let's go, I'll go out and take a look too."
The two left side by side. Yang Ge looked at their figures and clicked her tongue: "Aren't they together yet..." She muttered softly, "They clearly look like a married couple!"
Diep Tich and Tieu Lanh walked out of the tent, continued walking for more than twenty meters, and saw the border line. The border line on this side was absolutely safe, going too far after that would trigger a strange conversation that wouldn't be good.
They stood on the outer line looking around, the inner line not far away was the foggy area, the thick fog vaguely visible was the car crashing into a mess, Ye Xi focused: "In most cases, the location of the strange talk entry and the topic of the strange talk are directly related... What do you think the topic will be this time? Highway rules strange talk? National highway rules strange talk? Or toll station rules strange talk?"
Tieu Lanh smiled: "What's the use of guessing? Let's go in and talk later."
Pause and say: "I wonder why he wants to cause this kind of large-scale car accident."
Diep Tich was stunned, tilted his head to look at him: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Leng said: "No matter what strange topic it is, it can pull people in while in a calm state, right? Even if it is a highway or national highway topic, it can completely open in a parking lot or a traffic jam area. But he specializes in drivers who are flying fast, do you feel that there is a bit of a deliberate element?"
"That's a point." Diep Tich nodded, pondered for a moment, suddenly raised his head, "Then can he or not..."
Tieu Lanh tilted his head to look at her in shock: "I guess, you think the same as me."
Ye Xi was unable to breathe for a moment, her heart pounding speculation made her shiver: "He… He can grasp the psychological state of the participants in the weird world, and in the real world he can put down the weird world at any time, so why can't he grasp everyone's psychology in the real world? If it's like this, then..."
Her voice choked up, Xiao Leng's thin lips pursed slightly, took out his cell phone, and said through the information: "I'm going to hit Minister Ding, how about you tell him?"
Diep Tich: "Why don't you say anything?!"
Xiao Leng curled his lips: "I said, he will feel that I just want to take on the danger for someone else. Your image in his heart is more rational, it is relatively easy to convince him."
Diep Tich: "... That onion."
Xiao Leng pressed the chat button, the phone rang once and was immediately transferred. Minister Ding opened his mouth and asked: "Xiao Leng, are you at the scene?"
Diep Tich opened his mouth: "Minister, it's me, I'm Diep Tich."
"Oh, my child..." Minister Ding was a bit surprised by her calling Xiao Leng with her cell phone. Although she felt nervous because of the new situation, her tone still became a bit meaningful, "What is it?"
Diep Tich said in a low voice: "I want to ask you to reduce the number of team members entering the strange pond this time."
Minister Ding was stunned: "Why? There are already a lot of people sucked into the strange pool. Although it happened suddenly, we are not sure whether the team members who entered later will be able to enter the same dungeon as them. But in principle, we still want to try our best to increase the number of people to protect their safety."
"I know this is the 17th team's principle of conduct." Ye Xi held his breath, "But I suspect that by creating this large-scale car accident, he intentionally wanted to launch a siege on the 17th team members."
"... What did you say?" Minister Ding was stunned.
Diep Tich slowly said: "This kind of situation has never happened before, but once it happens, because the matter is important, the 17th will definitely pay special attention, and will most likely use all their strength to go to the scene to conduct an inspection."
——At this step, Minister Ding was very careful. Although he had made all the team members gather, he did not let them directly enter the scene, otherwise there would probably be dozens of team members in the strange pool right now.
Diep Tich continued: "Minister, please think carefully, in the previous mission form of 17, is it possible that he could have used a single strange attack to seriously injure us?"
—— In the past, most of the strange groups, 17th only knew how to send out less than ten people to carry out missions. The biggest operation was the "Amusement Park Rules Strange Group", but because he understood the situation beforehand, Minister Ding had enough time to slowly arrange things, and in the end, he only mobilized a few dozen people.
Diep Tich asked again: "What about this time?"
——This time the sudden incident, a large-scale car accident leading to a highway collapse, a large number of personnel disappeared at the same time, was enough to attract public attention. Therefore, whoever came to handle this matter would think of "quick action, quick victory", increasing the number of people would also be enough manpower to carry out the saturation of rescue methods, which was an inevitable factor of "quick action, quick victory".
So Ye Xi had not guessed wrongly, Minister Ding would not only arrange a large number of team members to carry out the strange conversation task, but would also temporarily take over the road cleaning work from the department in charge. In this way, once the damaged car was sucked into the strange conversation while cleaning, the survival rate of the 17 members would be much higher than the traffic police.
But, what if "he" also thinks like this?
Minister Dinh calmly asked Diep Tich: "So what do you mean?"
Ye Xi said: "I think that the saturation method of rescue cannot be carried out, at least the first round cannot be carried out. You see if you can first send a few team members to explore the path, wait for us to bring out the situation inside the exploration clearly, then proceed with the next step of arrangement. As for the matter of cleaning the path, if possible, try to slow down a little... I know this will bring a lot of inconvenience, but human life is the key, let's slowly discuss the results first!"
"If I think too much, that's for the best. But if I think correctly, this dungeon is really extremely difficult, so difficult that it's almost impossible to clear... We can at least avoid more casualties."
She didn't say it too bluntly, but regardless of whether it was Minister Ding or herself, they both understood that if the situation in the dungeon really matched her guess, then it meant that the normal people who had entered the dungeon, along with the first group of 17 team members who were sent in, could only be abandoned.
This is a truly cruel matter, but they did not choose. If the 17th Division really was completely defeated in this mission, the entire C nation would fall into a deeper passive state in dealing with the strange issue.
Minister Dinh was silent for a long time, then said to Diep Tich: "Let Tieu Lang answer the phone."
Diep Tich looked at Tieu Lanh and instinctively took half a step back: "I suggest you directly arrange the staff, no need to look for him."
Tieu Lanh glanced over and reached out to snatch the phone back.
Diep Tich leaned to the side and heard Minister Dinh ask: "Why?"
Diep Tich desperately continued to hide from Tieu Lang: "Because he definitely won't let me go. But as a minister, now is not the time to act on emotions. The average survival rate I have participated in the strange discussion is currently 17th!"
"Diep Tich!" Tieu Lanh's eyes were gloomy, Diep Tich raised his eyelids, finally returning the phone to him.
Tieu Lang's face darkened, he walked away, not knowing what he said to Minister Dinh.
After nearly fifteen minutes, he hung up the phone and turned back, his expression becoming even uglier than before: "Minister Ding said, the first time there are six people entering. You, me, Zhang Liping, Wang Xinran, as well as Yang Ge and Ren Ningning."
Also 3 teams, 7 teams and 8 teams of three team leaders and deputy team leaders.
At the same time, these six individuals, except for Wang Xinran, the others are all close friends from the three teams. They have higher tacit understanding value and help increase their survival rate.
Tieu Lanh finished speaking, without even glancing at Diep Tich, he walked towards the tent.
"Who..." Diep Tich ran after him, feeling a bit guilty, "Anger? Don't! Rationally analyzing, I have a relatively high survival rate!"
Tieu Lanh stopped in his tracks, calm, his mouth reluctantly said: "You clearly know what I'm worried about."
"I know... Ai." Diep Tich lowered his head, "I also hope that I can survive. However, I want to make more people survive."
She paused: "I guess, you too."
Tieu Lanh shook his head: "We are not the same."
"They are all the same." Ye Xi's expression became serious, "I have parents who miss me. But you..." She hesitated for a moment, her words filled with meaning, "Your parents are gone, but there are still many people who miss you! For example… I don't even hope for you to die in the strange pond, and I also don't like seeing you carelessly moving forward in this kind of thing."
Speaking up to here, she realized that her words seemed to have a slightly different meaning, so she added an explanation: "... I mean, it's good that you're working hard to save others, but I don't think you'll carry out your mission with this kind of death-defying mentality. People will be psychologically affected, thinking 'I want to survive' in their hearts is always better than thinking 'it doesn't matter if I die'."
Tieu Lanh did not speak, just looked at her without blinking.
Diep Tich pursed his lips: "Did I make it clear?"
Tieu Lanh suddenly burst out laughing, snorting.
Diep Tich was stunned, he had already taken big steps forward like a meteor and continued walking, Diep Tich followed two steps behind: "What are you laughing at?"
"Ah... I regret it." Tieu Lanh said deeply.
Diep Tich: "Ah?"
Tieu Lang's expression was serious: "I should have just told Minister Dinh, if Diep Tich can go, I won't go, someone misses me, I must survive well in the future."
"..." Diep Tich stopped walking, the corner of his mouth trembling.
She immediately advised him!
This person can not listen to good words, say two good words and he starts to be shameless!
When they entered the tent again, Yang Ge had just received Minister Ding's new order and looked at them with a shocked expression: "Is your guess true?"
Diep Tich asked again: "Do you think there is such a possibility?"
Duong Ca was speechless.
This kind of feeling of being surrounded and eliminated is really terrifying. It is an unknown supernatural force, possessing energy that they cannot guess.
Now he started to target them, making her feel like a piece of meat pressed on a chopping board, sooner or later it would get cold.
Diep Tich saw her pale face and patted her back to comfort her: "Scared?"
"... No." Yang Ge paused for a moment, his face showing anger, "I just want to know when we can have the chance to kill him! Damn it, one invader is still very powerful, there are still many things to do! I will fuck his second master!"
After nearly half an hour of waiting, Yang Ge asked about his relatives and related matters, including scolding the fiery red fox and Death God who had appeared on stage earlier.
Mr. Mao Zi was able to escape because he gave Diep Tich a very high-end item.
Zhang Liping and Wang Xinran were halfway through Yang Ge's scolding when Zhang Liping pulled up a chair and sat down, then started playing with his phone. After Yang Ge finished scolding, Zhang Liping held up the screen for her to see: "I found out that you're really familiar with your relatives! Unlike me, I don't even know a lot of relatives."
On his memo, he remembered a bottle full of relatives that Duong Ca had just mentioned.
Duong Ca: "..."
Ye Xi and Wang Xinran couldn't help but laugh, the tense atmosphere finally lightened up a bit. The research institute staff came in, their expressions complicated as they reported a piece of news: "... We have monitored the dungeon entry, there are a total of two entry points in the 7km stretch, each of them is a continuous entry, moreover the area is very large, the energy is very strong."
He paused in his words: "We have never monitored such a strong energy import before. Director Fang's previous research discovered that the strength of the energy import is directly related to the duration of the strange talk, so this strange talk will probably last for a very long time."
Yang Ca, who was sitting there panting, raised his head, tired and exhausted. "How many fields are there? Can you count them all?"
The other party shook his head: "We can only monitor its very strong energy, but the specific value cannot be quantified, so it is not good to make specific calculations. But I personally feel..." His voice trembled slightly, "The possibility of the time within the instance being at least 10 days or more."
Several team members were shocked.
10 or more dungeons, they really haven't experienced it yet.
Furthermore, this expression "above" sounds not very high, is it 11 days or 20, 30 days or even one or two years? It is hard to say.
Just looking at this time, this dungeon is not difficult.
Ye Xi was furious in her heart, she had already saved up enough to buy the orchid props, as long as she could find the shop once, she would be able to bring one more prop into the arena this time. Now, he deliberately made her only be able to bring one prop in the situation of encountering this kind of highly demanding dungeon, it was hard to tell if it was her bad luck or if he was deliberately making things difficult for her.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Ren Ning Ning also came running.
The six-man squad gathered and entered the foggy area together.
The foggy area was very humid, with cars of all colors strewn about on the streets, but there were no people, the scene looked very much like a zombie apocalypse.
According to the research institute's investigation results, the nearest exit point was less than 1000 meters away from the border. They quickly arrived there, but nothing happened after lingering around for a long time.
Tieu Lanh pressed the walkie-talkie and asked the staff outside: "Are you sure there are still imports here?"
"Confirmed." The other party replied firmly, "We have been under control the whole time, the entrance has not closed, the location has not changed... Haven't you entered yet?"
"Not yet." Xiao Leng said, "Help us see our specific location?"
The other party looked at the GPS device showing their coordinates: "You guys should be standing at the entrance right now, everyone is within the energy range of the entrance... So shouldn't you?? How could you not be able to enter???"
"... Could it be that they want to drive?" Wang Xinran made a guess, "The people who disappeared just now, most of them should be in cars, the police cavalry coming here also belongs to a mobile vehicle. This strange talk is that it wants to rely on a mobile vehicle to activate, walking is ineffective?"
Favor?
Tieu Lanh raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then pressed the walkie-talkie again: "We're going outside to retreat now. You help me contact Minister Ding first."
Opponent: "What?"
Xiao Leng: "Ask Minister Ding, can you help me bring a tank here. Don't say, it's fine to use an armored vehicle for many purposes. No need to match the driver, I'll tell you
