From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 137 The Mist Appears
Lu Heng returned to Qionghua Tianlu Lake, took out the [Metal Strengthening] crystal core, handed it to the mechanical tiger, and said, "Try it. There is a skill slot, so it should be able to absorb the energy inside."

Since I have never obtained this kind of mechanical beast before, I don’t know how the mechanical beast absorbs skill crystal cores.

Anyway, the data panel shows that there are 3 skill slots, so it should be able to absorb.

The mechanical tiger opened its mouth and swallowed the crystal core in one gulp.

Lu Heng reached out and pressed on its big head, feeling the coldness of the metal with his palm, his eyes fixed on the data panel.

About ten minutes later, the skill item on the mechanical tiger's data panel finally changed.

[Skill: Metal Strengthening]

[Metal Strengthening: Strengthen metal capabilities, metal hardness, impact resistance, and element resistance +50%. ]

Then, Lu Heng pulled out the Aurora Blade and used the original force to chop the mechanical tiger.

Bang!

After one strike of the sword, I could clearly feel the recoil force on my palm increased a lot.

This morning, when the sword was chopped down, it could create a ten-centimeter-deep sword mark, but now it can only create a five-centimeter mark.

Indeed, the ability to withstand blows has been greatly improved.

Moreover, this was chopped down by a double special effect weapon with a +7 quenching level, and full strength was used.

Even with such strong destructive power, it only created a sword mark five centimeters deep. With this strength, it can already withstand the attack of the Light Prism Armored Vehicle.

In the next few days, Lu Heng continued to practice swordsmanship and body movements.

Time gradually came to the sixth month since the abyss descended.

In the middle of the sixth month, many low-lying areas around the world began to see fog that could not be dispersed by wind, and the fog continued to expand.

When Lu Heng saw the information about Misty in the news, he raised his eyebrows and remembered this incident.

During the sixth month of the Abyss, fog will indeed appear in low-lying areas around the world.

These fogs are the key nodes for the abyss to enter the middle stage from the early stage. After the fog appears, more and more demons will appear, constantly compressing the living space of mankind.

Moreover, even more dangerous incidents occurred in the Ryukawa region in the southwest.

There is a nuclear power plant in the Ryugawa area. After the fog appeared, it spread in all directions, getting closer and closer to the nuclear power plant.

At the rate at which the fog is expanding, the nuclear power plant will be covered by the fog in half a month at most.

By that time, if an accident happens, it will be very terrible.

After seeing the news, Lu Heng began to think about how to provide information to the country and resolve this crisis.

just.

Before Lu Heng took the initiative to contact, a phone call came.

"Hello, I'm Chen Zihang."

"Um, how do you know my phone number?"

"Knowing your name, it won't be hard to find a number."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm contacting you on behalf of my superiors, hoping to meet you. It's about the fog."

"Sure, when will we meet?"

"tomorrow morning."

……

The next morning.

According to the address given by Chen Zihang, Lu Heng came to an inconspicuous building on Binhai Chongyuan Street.

After entering, he first met Chen Zihang, and then he met Chen Linian, the senior inspector of the Iron-Blooded Investigation Bureau, and several senior special commissioners.

"This is Special Envoy Liu, and he has come here specially to see you," Chen Zihang introduced.

"Hello." Lu Heng shook hands with Special Commissioner Liu.

After getting to know each other, the others began to prepare materials.

Lu Heng looked at Chen Zihang curiously and asked, "What is your identity?"

"Haven't you already guessed it?" Chen Zihang asked back.

"I have a rough idea, but I don't know the details."

Chen Zihang spread his hands and said, "Actually, I am a student at the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. After experiencing two abyssal battlefields, I was recruited."

The University of Aeronautics and Astronautics is a relatively special school, and the name Chen Zihang seems to have a special meaning as well.

Lu Heng probably guessed what his family background was, so he asked, "Why did you suggest looking for me?"

Chen Zihang nodded: "Yes, this incident is a bit tricky. I was called up, so I recommended you to my superiors."

Lu Heng actually already knew what it was about. Since Chen Zihang recommended him, he might as well join the action.

Didn't have to wait long.

Special Agent Liu prepared the information, took it over, and said in a serious tone: "You should have seen the news and know about the fog.

“But there are some things that won’t be on the news.

"A fog has also appeared in Liuchuan, and the location of the fog is very tricky. Thirty kilometers away from the fog is the Liuchuan Nuclear Power Plant.

"If this incident is not handled properly, the consequences will be serious, so we have organized a team to deal with this incident.

"Comrade Chen Zihang recommended you, so we hope you can join us and resolve this crisis."

Lu Heng glanced at Chen Linian next to him with a hint of amusement in his eyes. Because the case of Ono Kenji had not yet been closed by the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau.

Theoretically, Chen Linian is still investigating the case, and he is a suspect in this case.

There was no expression on Chen Linian's face. He took a cigarette, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then put it between his ears and turned to give Lu Heng an ambiguous smile.

Lu Heng turned his eyes away from Chen Linian's face, looked at Special Envoy Liu, and said, "I am willing to join, but I need to confirm what my role is in the team."

Special Commissioner Liu did not give an exact answer: "There is no exact regulation on this. We hope that everyone can work together to resolve the crisis."

Lu Heng nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll speak frankly. I need a certain say because I have seen this kind of fog."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone present showed expressions of surprise and joy.

"Really? You said you have seen this kind of fog?" Special Commissioner Liu looked the most excited.

"Yes, I've seen it."

Lu Heng had already thought about it before he came, and some information did need to be released.

As for what explains the source of the information, that is simple.

Just say that it was the information obtained in the Abyss Battlefield.

The time and number of times each psychic is summoned to the Abyss Battlefield is uncertain.

Lu Heng didn't need to explain exactly when he had seen him in the Abyss Battlefield, he just needed to provide key information.

"If that's the case, that's great. We need you so much, thank you for joining us." Special Commissioner Liu shook Lu Heng's hand excitedly.

It was so enthusiastic that Lu Heng even felt a little uncomfortable.

Having seen this kind of fog before, Lu Hengyi joined the crisis team and his voice was directly ranked among the top few, even Chen Zihang could not compare to him.

Afterwards, the crisis team convened its first meeting to discuss the Mist crisis.

The authorities have sent people to approach the fog for testing, and the test results are out.

A member of the crisis team first reported the test results:
"After testing, it was found that this fog is slightly corrosive. Humans moving in it will be affected to a certain extent, but it is not fatal in the short term.

"In addition, none of the personnel who entered the fog to investigate have returned. The situation is very serious..."

Wait until he finishes his report.

Lu Heng took over the topic directly: "I have seen this kind of fog in the Abyss battlefield. This kind of fog is a sign of the intensification of the Abyss invasion.

“Therefore, after the fog appears, the number of demons that appear will increase significantly.

"Areas where fog appears need to be evacuated as soon as possible."

One person asked: "Can the fog be cleared?"

Lu Heng replied: "Yes, but it is very difficult. However, the fog will have a maximum diffusion area, which means that after the fog reaches the maximum area, it will stop expanding.

"There are too many fogs appearing around the world. It is impossible to clear them all. So we need to evacuate from the foggy areas first. We can consider clearing the fog later."

Chen Zihang raised his hand and asked, "How did the fog appear?"

Lu Heng took a deep breath and replied, "It is because the space overlap between the Abyss and Blue Star has intensified. When cracks appear in the overlapping space, fog will spread out from the Abyss.

“The weak corrosiveness of the fog is not the most difficult to deal with, but the spiritual pollution from the fog is the most dangerous thing.

"So, humans cannot stay in the fog for a long time, otherwise they will lose their minds and become puppets of the abyss."

Special Commissioner Liu took out a map and said, "This is the Liuchuan Nuclear Power Plant. The fog that appeared in the Liuchuan Valley is only 30 kilometers away from the nuclear power plant. According to the expansion speed of the fog, the fog will cover the nuclear power plant in half a month at most. How do you think we should deal with this incident?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and replied, "I suggest that we carry out two plans at the same time. First, block the nuclear power plant reaction and deal with the nuclear elements. At the same time, send a team into the fog and try to remove it.

"If the defogging is successful, the nuclear power plant can resume operation. If the defogging fails, we have to give up. So, both plans have to be carried out together."

The crisis team members present nodded in thought, and most of them agreed.

In fact, the safest approach is to implement both plans together, with the goal of minimizing the harm of the incident.

Special Commissioner Liu discussed with other researchers in the crisis team and reached a consensus: "We all agree with Comrade Lu's plan, and the work of shutting down the nuclear power plant is already underway.

“What we need to consider now is to send a team into the fog and try to clear it.

"Since you are the only one here who has seen the fog, Comrade Lu, I wonder if you are willing to lead the team there?"

Lu Heng has already seriously considered this issue. Since he is involved in this matter, he must take a walk into the fog.

Moreover, in areas where fog appears, there are abyss rifts.

The main reason for the formation of abyss rifts is the high energy density.

Areas with high energy density usually have high-level resources.

Moreover, Lu Heng vaguely remembered that there was indeed a kind of high-level resource in the fog of Liuchuan area, which was worth going to.

After thinking it over, Lu Heng nodded and said, "I'm willing to go, but there's a question. Do I get to decide who to bring with me?"

Special Commissioner Liu quickly agreed: "Of course, you must agree, and of course we will recommend the best soldiers to go with you."

Lu Heng turned to look at Chen Zihang and asked, "Are you going?"

Chen Zihang replied without comment: "I will follow the organization's arrangements."

Hearing what he said, Lu Heng smiled and said, "Then it's him."

"Yes, Comrade Chen Zihang, the organization hopes that you can act together with Comrade Lu Heng. We will be your solid backing." Special Commissioner Liu immediately made the decision and arranged Chen Zihang into the team.

Lu Heng began to make requests, listing everything he could think of: "I also need a special operations team with an average level of 18 or above, good at field operations, and a tracked armored vehicle equipped with a machine gun and other ammunition... I have other requirements, I will mention them when I think of them."

"No problem. I'll provide you with people and supplies." Special Envoy Liu basically agreed to all requests and gave you whatever he could.
