Chapter 304 Road closure, blockade

Threads of crystal water swayed down, indifferently smearing meandering wet marks on the windshield.

Different from the vitality of spring rain and the refreshing and dripping summer rain, the rain of late autumn always has a cold meaning in the sticky atmosphere.

If you add a third of the cold wind in the mountains, it will make people bow their heads and shrink their necks, and feel uncomfortable all over. As the saying goes, autumn winds and autumn rains kill people.

There was no one on the winding mountain roads to the left and right. Zhu Mingyao slowed down the car, opened a map, and looked for the nearest town.

The old signboard with its patent leather half-off is like a lonely pedestrian, occasionally flashing past the window. The few strings of words on it indicate that we have entered the mountain state - West Virginia.

Labeling a certain area, making up jokes, and making fun of it is a common instinct of human beings, and it is certainly not exempt from it in the Federation. It has even become a conventional folk joke, just like Florida does not raise idle people, and every family in Texas Playing with guns, there are many upstarts in the Golden State on the West Coast...

In the face of such ridicule, most people will not be annoyed and just laugh it off.

But when meeting visitors from West Virginia, not many people dared to bring the topic to this topic.

Of course, unless you deliberately want to provoke, that's a different matter.

The Pauper State, the mountain savages, the illiterate idiots, the inbreeding freaks, and...

He frowned and looked ahead at the intersection of police cars and red and yellow roadblocks.

So much so that in Hollywood movies and TV series, whenever there are characters like weirdos, promiscuous people, or crazy murderers, they are usually given a hometown background from this place, which in turn strengthens its notoriety.

Although according to Maoshan's commandments, killing people is not allowed to refine corpses, you are no longer considered human beings!
With a stern smile, Zhu Mingyao turned an intersection, and then... slowly stopped the car.

Moreover, because of the extremely conservative culture, intermarriage between cousins, which has long been abandoned by modern civilization, is still common today.

"What happened? A mudslide?" Zhu Mingyao lowered the glass and asked curiously.

Because it represents many stereotypes here, it is too offensive and insulting.

"What's going on? Is this road closed?"

But how much of it is due to the inherent discrimination against unruly people who come from poor places, and how much is the truth hidden in the dark, I am afraid no one can tell clearly.

He rubbed the ox-headed bronze charm hanging on the belt around his waist, feeling the cool touch from the ancient metal. He flicked his fingers rhythmically, and a wisp of dark blood light undulated and circled. After a few breaths, it condensed into two pieces. The deformed grimaces that came together got into the bronze talisman again.

Since you have chosen to eat people, I will give you a fate consistent with your virtue and taste the taste of devouring each other.

"Well... young sir." He probably had been tormented by this boring job for too long, and finally saw a living person, and he had a bit of overwhelming desire.

...hillbilly murderer.

As a remote country with the lowest average income in the federal government, most of the area is covered by the Appalachian Mountains. The mountains are high and densely forested, the terrain is complex, sparsely populated, and the folk customs are barbaric. There have been many weird and terrifying things since ancient times. s legend.

However, Zhu Mingyao can confirm that at least part of it is not groundless, just like the goal of this trip...

"You're right..." A middle-aged police officer wearing a thick poncho took over his words and walked over slowly holding a thermos cup.

"Not only here, the section where CR47 and CR49 enter the mountain is also blocked. You have to take a detour, young man."

"Actually, I don't know too much!" The police officer scratched his newly grown green and black beard, complaining that he had been holding back for a long time.

"I've been doing this on and off for a month or two. It seems that the underground coal mine that was burning out of control exploded and spewed out a lot of poisonous gas? Anyway, it's just hearsay." He curled his lips and unscrewed the thermos cup, and there was a slight white mist. Drifting on top of hot coffee.

"Gentlemen just like to make a fuss. Over the past few decades, warning signs and barbed wire have been pulled up one after another, making them tight. No reckless fool will rush over." After taking a sip of the bitter and warm drink, he let his body recover. After getting a little warmer, he muttered angrily: "Besides, how could we start a blockade just a few dozen miles away? It would look like a nuclear meltdown."

"Haha, maybe you guessed it? Those people above dare to hide any information."

Zhu Mingyao responded casually, carefully turned the steering wheel on the slippery road, and awkwardly turned back to the three-way intersection.

……

……

Having lost his precious chat partner, the middle-aged police officer yawned, got into the car, and began to take a nap as usual.

In the drizzle, the winding path quietly extended to the mountains in the distance, passing through steep mountains and deep ravines until...

It was hazy.

The gray mist wanders and flows freely. It seems thin, but it is like a heavy iron stone. It remains unmoving despite the mountain wind.

"Snapped!"

The black mountain boots fell, breaking through a small puddle and splashing a few bits of muddy mud.

"Such weather may cause some suppression to the [things] inside?" A strong man wearing a camouflage combat uniform stepped into a simple steel room with vigorous steps, shaking the water droplets on his half-length brown hair. , with expectation in his tone.

"Stop wishful thinking." The young man with red hair crossed his legs and lay lazily on the sofa. He tossed a ball of scorching red light in his hand, exuding an intense heat wave, and helped his teammates dry their clothes.

"I can feel that those things just look like soot and embers. They actually have nothing to do with flames. They can survive even if they are thrown into the sea."

The young man straightened his sitting posture and narrated his speculation in a low voice:
"I swear by my powers, their nature is far deeper and more terrifying than that of elemental creatures! Our battle can still be fought.

Do you think the reason why the higher-ups didn't use powerful weapons to cover it is because they were afraid of self-defeating. It is easy to block the hole in the hornet's nest, but if the hornet's nest is smashed to pieces, it will become a mess that is difficult to clean up. "

"It doesn't matter." The strong man sat down, roughly kicked off his boots, took away the delicious food carefully cooked by the logistics, and started chewing.

"Those are issues that the big shots are responsible for considering. Our task is just to block them..."

"Om-"

There was an indescribable low roar accompanied by tremors, and the two people's expressions suddenly changed, and they stood up.

"Another wave, how could it be so fast!" The strong man swallowed a piece of steak angrily and wiped his hands quickly.

"The interval is getting shorter and shorter." The red-haired young man had a sullen face and quickly put on a special combat uniform.

"I hope the superiors will come up with a solution soon, I don't want to risk my life here!" After complaining, he buried his head and rushed out of the house.

In the temporary camps among the mountains and forests, a large number of men and horses with strong auras poured out like a tide, holding swords or guns. They formed small teams in twos and threes and cautiously moved into the depths of the fog.

There were faint lights of various colors flashing there, as if a fierce battle was breaking out.

However, not a single sound was heard, only deathly silence!
