After Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan checked out of the hotel, they found a shared taxi and came to Tianxin Lake in the suburbs.
Tianxin Lake is a naturally formed lake and a good place for vacation and relaxation.
Of course, two grown men cannot go on a trip. They go there...to fish!
Tianxin Lake has a special fishing place, with fishing gear, bait, etc., and if you are willing to spend money, there is also a beautiful girl to accompany you.
The two of them came back from Central City and relaxed for a few days before going fishing... This is normal behavior.
Even if you are in business and are working hard to negotiate a big deal, your boss must agree to take a few days off, right?
The two of them went to Central City, which was remote and backward, the risks were high, and the mission took a long time.
In this case, it is possible to rest for half a year before returning. How many days of fishing is a big deal?
Qu Jianlei didn't ask a beautiful woman to accompany him - he didn't even like this in Blue Star.
However, Xiao Moshan was very generous and arranged for two beauties, and they even had sex together in the evening.
In his words - "They can prove that I have an injury on my leg. I have sacrificed too much for us not to be noticed!"
Qu Jianlei didn't bother to pay attention to him, and just told him, "We are sitting on nothing now, please consider the cost."
Xiao Moshan shook his head, "How can a warrior who has been holding back for a long time release all his energy in one night? It's too fake."
He looked determined, "For our safety, I will continue to sacrifice myself!"
He really didn't tell lies. This sacrifice lasted for six consecutive days.
The fishing friends in the same area were a little strange and couldn't help but secretly asked Qu Jianlei, "How many years has it been since that guy touched a woman?"
Qu Jianlei didn't want to answer, but finally said, "He is still young, but he looks a bit old."
"You are young, no wonder." The man nodded in realization, and then smiled, "You are not an ordinary old man."
A mere ordinary person who spoke in this way might be shot in the head on the spot in the residential area below.
But in the canyon, it is normal. Under the overwhelming sense of security, this is the daily life of ordinary people.
It wasn't until the seventh day that Xiao Moshan gave the two beauties a break, saying that he planned to rest for one night and continue tomorrow night.
This guy did things in a systematic way. That night, he and Qu Jianlei went out to investigate and didn't come back until late at night.
The next day, the two continued fishing as usual, but they whispered to each other from time to time.
The two of them were discussing how to attack the vault where the crystals were stored.
But what Qu Jianlei values more is the "Attribute Training Research Institute" not far from the vault.
It is said that there are many unique books on cultivation in it, which is too tempting for him.
Furthermore, it is said that there are books other than cultivation, which are also hidden in the research institute.
This is mainly because the institute has strong security and it is more secure to store precious information here.
Xiao Moshan didn't agree with his plan. In his opinion, the research institute was definitely more difficult to deal with than the vault.
This vault belongs to the Energy Block Alliance, and is somewhat similar to the place where Qu Jianlei opened the treasure chest.
The Energy Block Alliance is composed of several major forces, with many experts. It is said that the military in the canyon are all part of the alliance.
But the vault that Xiao Moshan targeted was just a backup vault for the Energy Block Alliance.
The inventory of the backup warehouse is much smaller than that of the large warehouse. The purpose of its existence is that once something goes wrong in the large warehouse, there will not be nothing available in an emergency.
There is more than one backup warehouse, which is very scattered and very secretive.
So where the vault is located, there is only an inconspicuous grocery store.
The grocery store is a bit confusing and sells a wide variety of things, but it has the advantage of being able to sell energy blocks at a reasonable price.
In the canyon, energy blocks are exclusive, and general stores are not qualified to sell energy blocks at all.
Even if a merchant buys some energy blocks at a fair price and then sells them at a fair price, even this operation is illegal.
Even if the merchant just wants to gain popularity and does not make any money at all, once someone reports it, the Energy Block Alliance will teach the other party how to behave in minutes.
It’s not a question of whether you can make money or not, it’s that you are not qualified to sell this thing, even if you lose money!
This grocery store dares to sell it openly, and the way they make money is by bundling other products and making a certain profit.
This way of making money is a bit weird, all you have to do is make it clear that you are not short of energy blocks.
But don't mention it, relying on this kind of business method, the grocery store has really made money. It cannot be said that the profits are huge, and it is no problem to support the family.
Because the store has a reserve of energy blocks, it also hired modified warriors to guard it.
Some people were jealous and reported it, but it was useless. The Energy Block Alliance had no response at all.
Later everyone knew that this grocery store was related.
It is estimated that the owner of the store has no other business capabilities and relies on this relationship to make a small amount of money.
But Xiao Moshan is certain that the grocery store is just a cover, and the spare warehouse under the store is the real focus.
The guard at the store turned into a soldier, which is also a cover.
There are two C-class soldiers taking turns on duty at night, and two B-class soldiers are in a residential building not far away, ready to provide support at any time.
There are really no A-level warriors. Even in canyons, A-level warriors are not everywhere.
But there are A-level warriors stationed at the Attribute Training Research Institute about five hundred meters away.
This research institute is affiliated with the Canyon Governing Body, and the Governing Body has a very close relationship with the Energy Block Alliance.
Therefore, if something happens to the grocery store, someone from the research institute will definitely come to help, including but not limited to that A-level soldier.
Xiao Moshan and Qu Jianlei join forces and are not afraid of overpowering an A-level warrior, but this is the downtown area of the canyon.
As long as they dare to take action, they can attract double-digit A-level warriors from all directions in minutes.
Moreover, the canyon's technological strength is strong. If the relevant equipment is in place, they can be subdued without A-level warriors.
Qu Jianlei was not disgusted with Xiao Moshan's caution, but he still said: We will see the situation at that time.
Then the two began to make the final preparations before taking action - building a secret hiding room.
Xiao Moshan, like Qu Jianlei and Bentley, is very good at avoiding wanted persons. He is not afraid of going the extra mile and still wants to ensure safety.
Over the next four days, the two men quietly dug four underground hiding rooms.
They are all B-level warriors. Qu Jianlei has also mastered spells with different attributes. Coupled with the space ring, it is easy to dig a hiding room.
His space ring was filled to the brim with guns and ammunition, vehicles, daily necessities, energy blocks... and most of all, food and water.
If you want to use the Space Ring to transport soil, you have to take out these things.
Fortunately, after the first hiding room was built, this was no longer a big problem, and they even had the leisure to continue wandering around during the day.
On the fifth night, the two of them went to a large bar to drink. They asked for a private room and hired several waiters to accompany them.
Their plan was to get the receptionist drunk and then explore the grocery store to determine a course of action.
By mental arithmetic or not, it was not yet midnight, and the few waiters were almost done drinking.
Qu Jianlei and Xiao Moshan are also similar in pretending to be drunk.
Xiao Moshan was bragging nonsense and his tongue was so big that Qu Jianlei kept silent and drank one glass after another, which was also a true performance.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the door was knocked open and two male waiters hurried in, "Oops, big inspection!"
Qu Jianlei was pretending to be drunk, but he was stunned when he heard this: Big inspection?
Fortunately, he was used to drooping his eyelids, so others couldn't see his surprise.
This kind of bar is a serious business in the canyon, and even the casino is a serious business if it has a license.
Xiao Moshan was also stunned for a moment, but his endurance was obviously higher than that of Qu Jianlei.
He asked loudly, "The inspection... is there a warning, and what level is it?"
A male waiter replied with a smile on his face, "There must be a warning, otherwise we won't be able to find out."
Although he was smiling apologetically, his tone was still urgent, and it was clear that the situation was really serious.
"It's really disappointing," Xiao Moshan muttered, and then asked, "At least it's level two, right?"
"You are an expert," the male waiter smiled bitterly and extended a thumbs up, "at least level two."
"Oops...Level 2," Xiao Moshan shook his head and touched an usher on the face, "Send us away!"
This bar is indeed unambiguous. When the whole city is inspected, it will proactively notify customers and even send them away!
Qu Jianlei didn't quite understand the logic behind it, but Xiao Moshan thought it was okay, so he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being.
As expected, the bar here also has a secret passage.
Under the arrangements of more than a dozen guards and waiters, groups of guests walked out quickly, and no one dared to make any noise.
After leaving the bar, the guests dispersed, and some even ran away.
Xiao Moshan whispered, "Quick, sit in the wheelchair and leave as soon as possible."
Two grown men squeezed into a wheelchair... Qu Jianlei curled his lips, but did not object.
The two of them are not too fat, especially Qu Jianlei, who is thinner. Sitting in a wheelchair together, it is not too crowded.
Xiao Moshan directly turned on the automatic driving mode of the wheelchair and adjusted it to the highest speed.
The maximum speed of a wheelchair is about 30 kilometers. Although it is not comparable to that of a car, it is really not slow.
As soon as they were less than 500 meters away, seven or eight cars came to the door of the bar, and people in uniforms jumped out one by one.
Qu Jianlei looked back and was a little stunned, "In this battle... we can't use attribute power?"
If you can really use the wind attribute to leave, it will definitely be much faster than a wheelchair - faster than an ordinary car, and also more stealthy!
But after using attribute power, the remaining aura is likely to be noticed.
Suddenly two B-level wind warriors appeared. No matter how stupid you are, you would think of the two wanted criminals in Central City!
"It definitely can't be used," Xiao Moshan rolled his eyes, "You're not a beauty, so you think I like to have sex with you?"
But now is a critical moment, and he can't bear to say too many wisecracks.
"Use your mental power to sense. Are there any relatively safe places nearby?"
——————
Chapter 192 Car Crash (4th update)
Aren't you unable to use attribute power? Qu Jianlei was a little surprised when he heard this.
However, he believed that Xiao Moshan would not harm him. If he was caught, he would not be treated as a guinea pig. Xiao Moshan would probably not be able to escape with his life.
He quickly chose a place, which was a water plant.
The water consumption in the canyon is not small, and industrial water consumption is even greater. Surface water needs to be diverted from the outside and some groundwater needs to be exploited.
In order to prevent pollution, the two water sources are far away from the city, so this water plant is actually a secondary treatment and pressurization plant.
Even for secondary treatment plants, everyone pays great attention to the problem of pollution, so it occupies a large area, about 30,000 to 40,000 square meters.
The environment of the water plant is also well protected, with only flowers, plants and trees.
This place has always prohibited people from entering and exiting at will. Let alone poisoning or other things, public urination and defecation in the water plant are also prohibited.
There are many cameras around, but some of them are broken, which is what Xiao Moshan said - peace will last for a long time.
Qu Jianlei's visits to the canyon these days have not yielded anything at all. He has analyzed several possible hiding places.
Now that Xiao Moshan said so, he directly pointed out the location.
"Let's go then," Xiao Moshan said quickly, "I'll go to the water plant first, and you can lure them away and come back."
This is not for Qu Jianlei to take risks, but a prepared plan to resolve the crisis in advance.
He has elements with various attributes that can be called upon, many fighting methods, and can deflect the opponent's thinking at critical moments.
Just like just now, neither of them dared to use the wind element to escape, nor did they dare to use this power to detect danger.
But Xiao Moshan suggested that he use his mental attributes to explore.
On the one hand, spiritual breath is more difficult to detect.
On the other hand, even if the canyon is identified, you will still wonder: Who could it be?
So Qu Jianlei didn't refuse. When the guy quietly got out of the wheelchair, he ran wildly in the wheelchair.
As soon as he ran, he ran straight out of the city until he saw someone setting up a card check in front of him.
There happened to be a public beta tester nearby. He entered the public toilet in a wheelchair, and then... nothing happened.
Later, the canyon investigation revealed that this person entered the blind spot of the monitor and must have gone to the public toilet.
But in the next few days, I never saw that person coming out again, including the not-so-small wheelchair.
Qu Jianlei quietly returned to the water plant and found Xiao Moshan hiding inside.
Xiao Moshan actually hid very well. The aura of his body blended with the aura around him.
But Qu Jianlei used the perception of spiritual attributes to easily perceive a trace of disharmony in nature.
Then he came to a bush and patted a piece of soil on the ground.
Xiao Moshan's face raised, his eyes a little stunned, "No, you can find this?"
"Move the turf," Qu Jianlei whispered, "dig a hole to hide. I don't know how long we will stay this time."
"If it's Level 2, we can stay for up to three days," Xiao Moshan carefully moved the turf away, "It's a pity it's not Level 2..."
It was dark now and the visibility was not good, but one could still hear the solemnity in his tone, "At least it's a level one alert."
"Let's do it first," Qu Jianlei started digging the hole quickly with him.
The two of them have been digging holes too frequently recently, and the storage ring is mostly empty, so the construction speed is very fast.
In about ten minutes, an underground hiding room was dug.
The two of them got in first, disguised the surface, and then began to toss the inner wall.
Finally, I had to add the insulation layer and ventilation holes. It took almost an hour to complete.
"Just wait," Xiao Moshan sighed dejectedly, "By the way, remember to use your mental attributes to observe the outside."
"I don't!" Qu Jianlei objected simply, "You use the wind attribute to observe first, and we will change shifts."
If he is responsible for guarding alone, will he die from exhaustion?
"That's true," Xiao Moshan realized, "Leave it to me for the rest of the night and morning."
Then he sighed again, "I don't know what the reason is, level one alert... the time is not certain."
Qu Jianlei asked in a low voice, "How can you conclude that it is the first level of alert?"
Xiao Moshan replied nonchalantly, "How much does the waiter at the bar know? I'll know it once I feel it!"
The hiding room was only illuminated by a cold light rod, making it very dark.
After a while, Qu Jianlei asked again, "Is the level one alert the highest? Or is there a special level?"
"Special grade... of course," Xiao Moshan thought for a moment and then sighed.
"That means the entire canyon will be mobilized...even Central City."
Qu Jianlei asked curiously, "The central city is going to be mobilized, so what kind of crisis must it encounter?"
Xiao Moshan was silent. He sighed softly for a long time and didn't answer.
Qu Jianlei found it a bit boring, so he simply sat there cross-legged and meditated.
During the day the next day, someone came into the water plant to check.
They didn't want to disturb the environment here, so they initially used instrument scanning, which should be advanced thermal imaging equipment.
But this is obviously useless. Qu Jianlei and the others have already prepared thermal insulation, and they also have ice properties for cooling.
Immediately afterwards, a B-level wind attribute warrior released his perception.
When he found nothing, he summoned another "wind hammer" and struck twice here and twice there.
Later, there was another B-level wood warrior who released some vines to reach underground.
"Don't insert it too deep," a staff member from the water plant nearby quickly reminded, "I inserted it too deep once and it sprayed water."
The wood warrior glanced at him and retracted the vine angrily.
Although many methods were used, it was basically routine and no hiding place of the two was found.
In the first half of the night, Qu Jianlei was on duty. This was a very labor-intensive job, but vigilance was necessary.
After midnight, when he was bored, he suddenly noticed a dark shadow climbing over the wall and sneaking nearby.
The lighting in the water plant is not very good, so I can't see clearly.
The man looked around and raised his hand to release a few vines, reaching down into the ground.
"I'll go, wood warrior," Qu Jianlei hurriedly pushed Xiao Moshan awake, "A guest has arrived."
Xiao Moshan controlled the wind attribute and sensed it slightly, "Damn, I didn't check it well during the day, why are you here again at night?"
"Shh," Qu Jianlei raised a finger, "The other party can feel the slight vibration in the ground."
That person didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, but he kept testing around the hiding room of Qu Jianlei and others.
After seven or eight minutes, he put away the vines, took off the long knife on his back, and started digging a hole.
"What the hell..." Qu Jianlei didn't let Xiao Moshan speak, but he couldn't help but muttered.
Xiao Moshan was also stunned, "What the hell, what the hell...can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"He may not be the one who was searched," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Maybe he is also a criminal with a criminal record."
Xiao Moshan was speechless, and finally sighed, "I thought of it together... What a coincidence."
The wood warrior dug a few times and released a few vines, obviously trying to loosen the soil.
Although he is only a single-attribute warrior, he is not slow in digging holes. The vines loosen the soil, then roll up the soil and scatter it into the distance.
In about half an hour, he dug a hole deep enough, and then made a secret, "Grow."
After a period of elemental fluctuations, the vegetation covered by the new soil became branched.
Those branches and leaves swayed a little more, and the new soil fell to the ground.
"This is a good operation," Qu Jianlei couldn't help but praise, "I didn't expect the wood type to have such a strong camouflage ability."
"The distance is too close," Xiao Moshan muttered, his voice becoming colder, "The fugitive... kill him!"
He is not a person who kills indiscriminately, but when it comes to his own safety - the other party is guilty anyway, so there is no need to be merciful.
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and said leisurely, "Fugitives may not all die... Take the two of us for example."
Xiao Moshan hesitated and said, "Let's capture him first... If he is a fugitive for many years, maybe I can recognize him."
This man worked hard to dig a big hole and then made a piece of turf on the spot. As a wood type warrior, this operation was very easy.
He threw a cold light rod into the pit, then jumped down gently, and then controlled the small vines to move the turf above his head.
Then he sprouted some roots and firmly supported them under the turf.
It wasn't until he was sure that even if a few people stepped on it, the grass wouldn't collapse, that he let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's finally stable."
"Hi, neighbor," a voice suddenly rang in his ear, and he was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
The man subconsciously wanted to react, but it was too late. A burst of electricity came and his body suddenly froze.
Then came the Wind Binding Technique, which trapped him again.
If there wasn't that electric current, the Wind Binding Technique really wouldn't be able to stop him, but now... it's too late to say anything.
The next moment, a short knife was placed on his neck, and a big hand covered his mouth.
A voice spoke coldly, "I guess you won't be confused and make any noise, right?"
The man was startled for a moment, then nodded his head, but he didn't even dare to hum.
The figure flashed, and there was another person in front of him. A laser pistol was pressed against his forehead, "Whispering, do you understand?"
The man nodded slightly again, raised his finger and pointed at the other person, and then pointed at the short knife on his neck.
I know there are at least two of you, but why can’t you just think about it?
Sensing his reaction, Qu Jianlei released his hand covering the other person's mouth, "Brother... we were harmed by you."
"It's not a brother," Xiao Moshan whispered from the front, "it's a woman!"
Hearing this, the man raised his finger and pointed at his mouth, meaning: Can I speak?
"Tell me," Xiao Moshan nodded, "You know the consequences of telling lies..."
This person thought about it, and then sighed, "Friend... I was also implicated."
"Lies!" The knife in Qu Jianlei's hand exerted a slight force, already cutting the opponent's skin, and the smell of blood filled the air.
"Tsk, it's bleeding," Xiao Moshan smacked his lips regretfully, "Why don't we just kill him?"
