In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 14 Sou Shan
"My supernatural power possesses a tangible means of attack?"

Lu Zhao's hands trembled slightly. He lit a cigarette to calm himself down and tried his best to remain composed.

The deeper he went, the more incredible the old Taoist priest seemed.

Just as the old Taoist priest said, Lu Zhao was not ignorant. On the contrary, he received the best education of the time and was once groomed to be a core member of the Federation.

He understood very well that the essence of supernatural powers was their characteristics; the same supernatural power would have different characteristics in the hands of different people.

Even if the general direction is the same, the actual results can be vastly different.

For example, Lu Zhao's life bone originated from Li Shaoqing, who used mental exploration to ultimately create a three-dimensional image tens of thousands of meters long in his mind.

He could only conduct rough mental probing, at most forming an outline in his mind. Yet he could also exert telekinetic power down to the millimeter level, and use firearms to create an overwhelming deterrent against individual soldiers.

However, the old Taoist's techniques can actively change and enhance attributes.

The mental energy that Lu Zhao was developing outwards had unexpectedly developed into a unique mental attack that could be developed inwards, which was somewhat like the dual cultivation of internal and external forces.

It also overturned the theory of supernatural powers.

This cannot be explained by "ancient methods"; he must be hiding other secrets.

Lu Zhao suppressed his growing suspicions.

At least for now, people have been kind to him, and everyone has their own privacy.

After finishing his spiritual cultivation, Lu Zhao drank two and a half bottles of Langpai Special Qu and began a day of refining essence into qi.

[Vitality: 35.7]

Boom boom boom!
Liu Qiang's voice came from outside the door.

"Brother Lu, emergency assembly! There's a mountain search mission, everyone has to go."
-
At midday, the sun shone brightly.

The border station dispatched over a hundred police officers to search Ant Ridge.

Everyone was sweating profusely under the sun, but tents were set up at the foot of the mountain for the task force to stay in.

The crowd was full of complaints, and Liu Qiang even joked, "None of the people below have a higher education than Brother Lu."

Immediately, everyone burst into laughter.

Lu Zhao was among them. He was used to the wind and sun, and his life development level was high, so he didn't feel anything. But Zhang Like suffered, as the captain had to lead by example.

Having been used to being a junior leader, he was suddenly overwhelmed and breathless from doing manual labor.

Lu Zhao seized the opportunity and dug out the life bone when no one was watching, silently reciting the incantation.

The life bone simply disappeared, just like when Lu Zhao watched a teacher demonstrate spatial abilities during his school days.

The underlying principles were beyond Lu Zhao's comprehension.

This world is full of strange and wondrous supernatural powers, and the greatest supernatural powers all have the power to overturn the world. Lu Zhao has never personally witnessed a great supernatural power, so how could he understand a deity who has lived for five hundred years?

I wonder if I'll ever possess the power to move mountains and fill seas.

Lu Zhao's thoughts began to wander further, no longer limited to how to escape.

It's only a matter of time before they break free from the Chen family's influence, but how they proceed in the future requires careful planning.

Even in the military, there are different regions, different units, and different functions.

"Lao Lu."

Zhang Like approached and asked in a low voice, "Did you find it?"

Lu Zhao shook his head in response, saying that the item had already been delivered to Hunyuan, and it was impossible for anyone to find the life bone.

"It doesn't matter if we don't find it, since we're not the ones getting criticized. It's just that the brothers will have to work hard for a few days."

Zhang Like took out a map, which marked the prisoner's escape route and the area that needed to be searched.

Lu Zhao glanced around and noticed that the back mountain had been completely forgotten. He asked, "Aren't you going to search the back mountain?"

Zhang Like explained, "If the prisoner has already reached the back of the mountain, he won't turn back. Besides, we don't have enough manpower to continue expanding the search."

“We can take this opportunity to clean up the back mountain,” Lu Zhao suggested. “Especially the areas outside the route to the outpost; we haven’t cleaned them in three years.”

Between the outer layer of Ant Ridge and the outpost, there exists a large area of ​​unknown territory.

There were no mountain paths, no patrols; they didn't care as long as the monsters didn't break out.

In Lu Zhao's view, this was a hidden danger. Not to mention how many monsters were there, what if someone secretly set up a smuggling route?
The Miye Sanjiang region has always been a major threat to the South China Sea, and also the most direct danger faced by Lu Zhao and his group. He has fought against desperate criminals from Miye Sanjiang more than once.

"No money, and no one."

Zhang Like spread his hands and said, "We only have one battalion-level unit. It's enough for us to hold Ant Ridge."

"Too."

Lu Zhao felt quite helpless.

A simple "I have no money" is enough to shut him down, preventing him from doing anything he wants.

While personal ability is important, it's difficult to achieve anything without the right environment and platform. At the Ant Ridge border post, even life-saving supplies are sometimes delivered late.

At the same time, there are many other areas that pose a greater threat to social stability than this one.

After a fruitless day, the group descended the mountain only to be met with a furious tirade from Lü Jinshan.

This time, the louder he cursed, the more Lu Zhao wanted to laugh.

He was anxious.

On May 29th, a search of the mountains was conducted.

On May 30th, a search of the mountains was conducted.

May 31st, Dragon Boat Festival, search the mountains.

After three days of fruitless investigation, the task force lost patience and withdrew prematurely.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, heavy rain began to fall. In order to avoid casualties, Zhang Like decisively ordered the team to retreat.

"Zhang Like, I order you to continue the mission!"

When Lü Jinshan called, everyone in the shelter could hear it clearly.

Zhang Like replied, "Station Chief, the visibility at the scene is less than 30 meters, and there are signs of a small-scale flash flood in the river. To avoid casualties, the mission must be suspended."

Lu Jinshan ordered without hesitation, "This is an order from Team Leader Lin. There's also a case under the supervision of the Wuhou, so even if the mountain collapses, we have to search."

Cases under the supervision of Wuhou District
The weight of this word forced Zhang Like to hesitate for a moment, and Lu Zhao also realized that things were indeed not simple.

This fugitive is not as simple as he appears on the surface.

Ultimately, Zhang Like decided to terminate the mission.

At this moment, even the most oblivious person could sense the tension.

Although there were checks and balances on power, the station chief was still the one who had the final say. This was the first time they had seen Zhang Like confront Lü Jinshan head-on.

This is really affecting unity.

The heavy rain subsided, and the sky darkened.

As everyone prepared to return to the camp, Lu Zhao walked to the foot of the mountain and suddenly felt a sense of being watched. He turned around abruptly and saw birds and beasts flying away in the distance.

"what happened?"

Zhang Like became alert.

Lu Zhao stared for a while, no longer feeling the spying, and replied, "I felt someone was watching us, it could have been a demon beast, but it has already run away. Should I go after it?"

Zhang Like shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous. Since they've already run away, there's no need to chase after them. At worst, we can just go back and write another report."

If it weren't for Lü Jinshan's request, they theoretically had the right to refuse to assist in the search of the mountain.

Border patrol and the special task force are not in the same system. Border police are only responsible for emergency tasks such as counter-terrorism, major violent crimes, and disaster relief. Now, however, they are mobilizing hundreds of people to search the mountains, leaving other mountainous areas of Ant Ridge unpatrolled.

If something goes wrong, Zhang Like will be held responsible, and Lu Zhao is his biggest trump card.

He usually protects Lu Zhao, and in turn, Lu Zhao also prevents him from making any serious dereliction of duty.

He couldn't bear to let Lu Zhao take such a risk.

On the fourth day, the border guards were full of complaints, and Lü Jinshan had no choice but to stop the operation.

On the same day, Lü Jinshan was publicly criticized.
