Chapter 17: Morris Reservoir
On the way to Los Angeles, the four of them discovered something very important.
As long as you enter a city, to be more precise, enter a city where a large number of human beings live, those "things" will not appear so "blatantly" and carry out unscrupulous attacks.
Although I don’t understand the principle, the ability to discover the “weakness” of those “things” that are not known whether they are weaknesses also allows the four people to breathe for a while and not be forced to collapse by the more frequent and unconventional attacks of those “things”.
However, although those "things" may have received certain "restrictions" and "restrictions" in human residential areas, as they walked forward, the four people keenly realized that the further they went, the fewer "restrictions" they were subject to. Even if the crowds were densely populated around them, they began to get ready...
This discovery made Zhang Shen and the other four feel heavy.
Fortunately, until the four arrived at the woodland not far from the Morris Reservoir (next to Los Angeles), they still stopped at the "restless" range and had no obvious attacks.
It is said that "one mistake can lead to wisdom". During the "death journey" of more than ten days, Zhang Shen has eaten many "treats". Although it is not clear whether the "intelligence" has risen, at least four of them have become qualified "wild survival experts"...
The parking point Zhang Chan chose was a relatively dense forest, but the trees in it had just grown for a while, but the thickness of his arms and there were no shrubs and thorns. It was obvious that there was nothing that could be used by those "things".
"The Twenty-Fifth of the Boundary Dao, the Water Mirror Fall!" (In the original work, in addition to the boundary, the Boundary Dao also has tracking spells. As a complete auxiliary spell system, the spells for reconnaissance will naturally not be lacking... In addition, the spells of ghost magic in the original work are relatively "weird". Eleven really doesn't want to spend brain cells to compile new spells, so...)
Without having to rest, Li Jing chanted the spell and formed a seal, and the spiritual power in his body poured out, wrapped around and condensed in a mysterious way, turning into a mirror with a diameter of half a meter. The ripples on it were rippling, and the pictures flashed rapidly.
A few days ago, when Zhang Shen was facing a life-and-death crisis, Li Jing was stimulated and broke through at the last minute, and realized the "Corruption of Songs", and showed his power to save Zhang who was about to be knocked into a pool of meat sauce. However, afterwards, when she tried to use "Corruption of Songs" again, she was helpless to find that it was like Duan Yu's Six-Meridian Divine Sword that was sometimes not effective. It was speculated that it was caused by her insufficient cultivation.
Li Jing's "Water Mirror Floating Shadow" has a detection range of one thousand meters in a radius. If this distance exceeds this distance, Li Jing needs to instill spiritual power again. The farther the distance, the more detailed the picture, the more the spiritual power consumed will increase significantly. With Li Jing's current spiritual power of 200 knots (permanents), it can only detect a region of six thousand meters in a radius.
[PS: "card" is not a unit of quantity, but a comprehensive indicator. For example, if a master who has been practicing in the low martial arts world for a lifetime, if there are ten thousand "units" energy in his body, and using "cards" to calculate, it may only be dozens or hundreds of cards; on the contrary, in that very dangerous world of gods and demons, a soldier only practices for a few years, and a hundred "units" energy in his body may also be dozens or hundreds of cards... As for the difference between "mortal" and "spirit", that is another concept, which will be explained in detail later]
Li Jing naturally could not consume all his spiritual power on reconnaissance, but only expanded the reconnaissance range to a radius of two thousand meters before giving up. In fact, there are also spells that sense soul fluctuations (it was originally used to search for sensing virtual or death, but it could also be used to search for humans), but at her current level, it is still impossible to display it.
"Captain, there are people nearby, and there are quite a few."
Zhang Shen and the other two came over and looked at the water mirror. The picture on the water mirror was frozen in one place. There were hundreds of people on the picture, fully armed, and they didn't look like serious military or police forces, but they were more like gangsters or thugs.
Among the thugs in a circle, a leader was waving his arms and saying something passionately. Hundreds of thugs, each of whom was strong and strong, with an excited expression, and his eyes were full of ferocious murderous intent.
"Li Chen, take out the nearby map." Zhang Shen suddenly thought of something and said to Bu Li Chen.
The latter expands the map of the Los Angeles area, and the words "Morris Reservoir" are very eye-catching.
Like other cities in the United States, Los Angeles has established quarantine areas to separate government forces from ordinary residents. Various bloody and violent conflicts occur in the city every day, and the confrontation between the military and civilians is very serious.
In order to ensure the water use of the entire city - of course, the first is to ensure the water use of military and political forces themselves, the Morris Reservoir will naturally be strictly guarded to prevent any crazy guys from committing poisoning and blowing up the reservoir.
Don't doubt that for those who have lost hope of living, there is no pressure to do such things...
"Release the reconnaissance bee and go to the reservoir." Last time, in order to steal the information from the Dragon Group Base in City Z, the four of them exchanged for more than a dozen of such cheap gadgets. Later, there were similar things in the military supplies given by the arms maniac Tang Tian for free, but the level of technology is similar to that of this world (real earth), and it was a little bit slow.
Weapons, armor, auxiliary equipment, and military supplies installed in universal capsules are enough for four people to fight a small-scale battle...
It should be mentioned that the universal capsule exchanged with Tang Tian is not of high level and can only be used to hold things that do not contain energy. In other words, for the current Zhang Shen team, its function is a warehouse of arms, various raw materials and debris.
The few reconnaissance bees released were exchanged by Dayi at the time. They are of high quality and high level. Unless they are of the same level as the conference rooms of various countries, they will not be discovered at all.
Not long after, the investigation bees were sent back to the screen.
Sure enough, the Morris Reservoir has been blocked by military and political forces in Los Angeles. There are several patrolling dams and other places alone, and there are also many heavy armed forces on the picture, just like a hedgehog.
The reconnaissance bees tracking the anti-government armed forces also sent back the screen. After the leader finished his speech, hundreds of people wearing jungle camouflage seemed to sneak towards the reservoir very professionally.
"Captain, you release the scout bee, are you planning to intervene?" Li Jing asked curiously.
Along the way, the four of them passed through many cities and witnessed the miserable life of ordinary people in the quarantine area. They were very dissatisfied with the US government and military forces. Although from the perspective of "outsiders", it is understandable to do this - especially after using hackers to watch several videos after the leak of the doomsday news.
In fact, during this period, many people who took the opportunity to do evil in the isolation area of military and political personnel in cities mysteriously disappeared, and there were four people...
"You all must have sensed the unique atmosphere in Los Angeles City ahead." Zhang Shen asked without answering.
Bu Lichen and Li Jing both nodded, and Ouyang Tianqi also returned with affirmative eyes.
"Although I don't know what that strange aura is, I have a bad premonition..."
"Many similar auras." Ouyang Tianqi suddenly interrupted, "There are many other guardians in Los Angeles. In addition, there are also strong auras similar to them."
"Has the 'restrictions' they were finally 'removed'?!" Bu Lichen frowned slightly, and the scene of being chased on the road appeared in his mind again. He felt bitterness in his mouth while resentful.
"It seems not easy to fly to Qingguo by plane smoothly...but, does this have anything to do with Captain, you intervene in this battle?" Li Jing still didn't understand Zhang Shen's thoughts.
"The plane to the Qing Dynasty must have been controlled very closely by the US government. It is difficult to get through like this, so we must find a shield. People who are qualified to board the plane in Los Angeles are probably controlled by others. I think that in such an important place as the Morris Reservoir, there must be big fish guarding it. Maybe we can start from here."
"Even if the guess is wrong, it won't take long, just take it as a chance."

In a room in Morris Reservoir.
James Luaer.
He lay on his bed, staring at the low ceiling with his eyes blank.
Since witnessing Zhang Shen’s strange way of breaking free that time, James’s previous three views have been subverted. While he was frightened and confused, he has paid more attention to this thing that only exists in the novel and movies.
Especially after the "devil" came to Washington, his views were completely subverted, and he changed from a believer to a devout Christian. After that, his fear of the end of the world was instantly amplified by dozens or hundreds of times...
Therefore, after learning through his own channels that the doomsday would come early, James tried his best to go to Zhuoming Valley in western Tibet. Otherwise, as he was, even though he had a boat ticket, he was the last group to evacuate.
After trying all his best and finding ways, James Lua successfully got into a line - his boss, FBI's director of Washington headquarters, Phyllis Tolic.
Originally, although he was an elite in the FBI, it was very difficult to get on Phyllis's line. The reason why he was able to successfully follow Phyllis as a "driver" was entirely because he had saved Anhoyze's life, when the latter was not yet developed. Now, Anhoyze has made a fortune and is in a high position (it seems to be not mentioned in any specific professional movie). After reciprocating, James finally got what he wanted.
As the FBI Director General, Phyllis is in Washington on weekdays, but a few days ago, he suddenly came to Los Angeles... Many people thought he was scared and wanted to run away early and go to Zhuoming Valley. (There are many people who make such a choice, of course, officials with important responsibilities will not be allowed) However, the facts prove that those speculations are purely personal speculations, because after Phyllis came to Los Angeles, he did not show any intention of boarding the plane to western Tibet, but instead devoted himself to his work very seriously to maintain order in Los Angeles.
Under his iron-blooded suppression, Los Angeles' "order" in the past few days has been much better than before...
Just yesterday, Phyllis, who turned into a workaholic, found a new job for himself again, which was to come to this Morris Reservoir to carry out defensive work and ensure the water supply in the entire Los Angeles...
Everyone was very surprised by his behavior, but although some people wanted to persuade him or test his true intentions, they strangely lost their courage when they walked to Phyllis.
James, who is a entourage, has a deep feeling about this.
Phyllis's back appeared in his mind, and James shivered heavily.
