Supplies and fuel were very easy to get, and several families didn't have to pool their resources. Although more than 70% of Flower Country families in later generations could not afford an additional expense of $1000 per month, the people around here were at least middle-class, and Flower Country was at its richest and most powerful. After a few phone calls, they ordered 20 days of supplies for at least 15 people and enough fuel for 10 pickup trucks for a month from a hypermarket dozens of kilometers away. They even bought a tanker truck.

Weapons also

Easy to deal with. The sheriff of the county bureau used his personal connections and got four heavy machine guns and 4 boxes of bullets from somewhere. Weapons like large-caliber shotguns are not under control at all, so they had as many as they wanted.

It’s just that bazookas and anti-personnel mines are not easy to deal with.

In addition, the search and rescue team was not complete.

It's easy to contribute money and effort, but as for providing manpower... hehe, under the premise of "Decree No. 472", only Meili from the entire county bureau joined the search and rescue team.

The same was true for the people in the town. Although they donated generously, some took out their weapons and some contributed their well-maintained pickup trucks, no one joined the search and rescue team.

There were some parents who, out of a desire to protect their children, strongly requested to join the team, but at first glance, they were either fat men or fat women. The few who had better body management were tested by Lucas and Merry and found that their physical strength and shooting skills were poor. Not to mention entering the foggy realm, they would be a drag even in the wild.

Faced with this situation, the parents begged for help and made heart-wrenching calls, but other townspeople and police officers looked away and avoided the call.

Emily saw it all, and stood not far behind Lucas with her little sister, hugging her chest, sneering silently.

She certainly didn't want the rescue team to come.

In the end, whether they were moved by the parents' sincere expression or some promise they made in private, two townspeople with hunting experience and a well-trained police officer stepped forward and joined the search and rescue team.

But there is still a serious shortage of staff.

Just when everyone involved was getting anxious like ants on a hot pan, an old black man appeared in everyone's sight.

Lucas almost blurted out "Modern Freeman!" But he immediately remembered that in the eyes of everyone, especially Merry, he had never seen this old man.

"I wonder if you are willing to put aside your prejudices and allow my people to join this rescue operation?"

The old man was dressed like an old gentleman, wearing a retro black round hat, leaning on a gentleman's stick, and speaking in an elegant voice in English.

"Of course, I told the truth and asked my people to join the rescue operation. In addition to saving people, I am more interested in the treasures in the Mist Realm..."

Having said that, he turned to Lucas, took off his hat, and bowed slightly in salute.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Colin Luther, nice to meet you, a living legend, Mr. Lucas"

"I am not worthy of being called a living legend. I am Lucas, Lucas Yang, nice to meet you."

"It seems that you don't have any other choice now. How about considering my people? They are all good at driving and shooting, with excellent physical fitness and fighting ability. I can also guarantee that they will put saving people as their first priority, and the treasure in the misty realm second."

The black old man Colin twirled the gentleman's stick in his hand in a dashing manner, put his top hat back on his head, and looked at Lucas with a smile.

Mei Li had no expression on her face: "..."

She really didn't expect that "Big Daddy" would get wind of it and get involved.

Seeing that she was in a daze, Lucas looked up at the people around him and took in everyone's reactions.

Except for Merry's colleagues, the police, there seemed to be many people who knew or understood this old guy. Almost everyone had the same expression as Merry - at a loss.

Lucas looked at the old black man and smiled with great confidence.

“I can’t guarantee that I’ll find treasure inside.”

"Life is unpredictable and nothing is absolute. This is human nature. It is also very good for my children to gain some knowledge and experience."

Colin replied with a smile.

"Even if everyone obeys my management 100%, I cannot guarantee everyone's 100% safety," Lucas said with an unchanged smile.

Colin's smile remained unchanged, he understood what Lucas meant.

"Life, death, wealth and honor, all authority belongs to God, but I can guarantee that they will completely obey your leadership..." Having said this, the old man turned to Merry, looked at her, and then said, "I swear on my honor."

Lucas also looked at Merry, who hesitated and nodded to him implicitly.

After getting her hint, Lucas continued with a smile: "This is a free voluntary rescue operation."

"Ah, of course, this is of course a free voluntary rescue operation," the black old man paused the gentleman's stick in his hand and straightened his back, "I am also an enthusiastic citizen who loves public welfare. I can even help you provide some weapons and equipment that you lack, such as bazookas and anti-personnel mines. It's just that these equipment may not be so legal, so I need you to keep it a secret for me."

After saying that, he turned around gracefully and looked around slowly. Most of the people whose eyes met his looked away, and only a few had the courage to keep their eyes on him.

"Wow, he looks like a badass."

Lucas thought to himself, seeing him being yelled at as a loser by Merry that day, he couldn't help but look down on him. Now seeing the reactions of the crowd, he realized that this old man was a real boss. Seeing him facing him again, Lucas said:

"It seems that I have no reason to say no. Your people are welcome to join us, but please read the disclaimer carefully and sign the rescue agreement.

"I have to be frank with you. If your people are unruly and don't obey your management, it will be difficult for me to guarantee their personal safety."

"I don't like to repeat myself, but seeing you emphasize this point over and over again, it seems that this point is really very important. I solemnly reiterate that on my honor, Colin, my people will absolutely obey the management of Mr. Lucas Yang while they are in the Mist, no matter whether it is reasonable or unreasonable."

After saying this seriously, Colin put the gentleman's stick under his armpit and bent slightly towards Lucas again.

"Then please allow me to borrow the phone here. My people will arrive here with the necessary equipment within an hour."

……

Leaving Merry to coordinate the aftermath, Lucas drove back home with Emily.

There is not much time left for them, or rather, not much time left for those naughty kids who have entered the foggy realm. Once the personnel and equipment promised by Colin are in place, the rescue team will set off immediately.

Lucas came back to copy the photos, make an information set and bind it into a book, intending to distribute it to each rescue vehicle.

However, as soon as he entered the front gate of his own villa, he was hugged tightly from behind by Emily.

Because he had to go to the county bureau afterwards, the car was not put into storage but parked at the door.

Emily's car was also parked at the door, and they both went through the main entrance.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly like this?"

"Please don't leave..."

The girl hugged him very tightly, and Lucas did not dare to struggle to break free for fear of hurting her.

Lucas couldn't see her expression nor touch her body, so he smiled and stroked her arms around him through her clothes.

"Didn't I tell you that I can return safely? Don't worry anymore. There really won't be any problem at all."

Emily's arm loosened slightly and moved from under one of his arms to the front.

Lucas was exactly 1.80 meters tall, almost a head taller than her even when she was wearing long boots. Every time the girl took the initiative to be intimate with him, she would jump up and hook her arms around his neck, and her two strong thighs would also wrap around his waist.

She would do this even in front of others, just like she was in front of the county bureau just now, she was passionate and unrestrained, and she did not hide her love for Lucas.

But the difference was that this time the girl was clinging to him with extra force, and she used her leg strength to keep Lucas clamped on her body. She took one of his hands, lifted a corner from her skirt, and guided his hand in...

With a sweet breath coming out of her mouth, she panted slightly and whispered in Lucas' ear:

"The man named Colin will be back in an hour...we...we...hurry up..."

Lucas touched the smooth and hot skin of Emily's abdomen, and withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"Well, that's not okay. You know, it's against the rules..."

Lucas tried his best to maintain an elegant and relaxed smile, suppressing the restlessness in his body, and helped Emily straighten the corners of her clothes.

0012

With Emily's help, Lucas used his own home equipment to complete the roster with color photos in just over 20 minutes.

It was the first time Emily saw these high-tech devices. Although she was a little curious, she had no interest in exploring them as Lucas was about to be in danger.

“There is food in the fridge and lockers”

"Except for the basement, all access to the house is open to you."

"Be careful, don't use too much air conditioning, be careful not to catch a cold"

In the living room, Emily lay on Lucas' broad chest, listening to his last words without saying a word.

After touching her head, Lucas tried to stand up and go on his way, but she held him tightly and refused to let go.

Lucas smiled silently, knowing that the girl was reluctant to let him leave and was sulking with him and not talking to him.

I held her in my arms and sat on the sofa for a while.

The second attempt also ended in failure, and it was only on the third attempt that he managed to stand up.

After kissing the girl on the forehead, he left the house.

In the living room on the second floor, Emily leaned against the large floor-to-ceiling glass, then the curtains blocked the view, and stared at the street in the distance until she saw the electric car that represented Lucas's vehicle.

……

Next town.

The entrance to the county bureau was bustling with activity. Not only was there a large crowd of onlookers, but Colin Luther's men were also arriving one after another.

The latter are all powerful muscle pickup trucks, but the specific details and models of the vehicles are slightly different.

The old guy is indeed very powerful and well-connected. When Lucas arrived, he could see them unloading weapons from the back of several pickup trucks. In addition to bazookas and anti-personnel mines, there were also some conventional army and police equipment, such as melon grenades, flash bombs, smoke bombs, and grenade launchers that could be loaded at the muzzle of a gun.

There were police on the scene maintaining order. Several people, using tools from somewhere, were welding three heavy machine guns to three pickup trucks with sparks flying. They were also welding handrails and metal pipe guardrails.

Even the black uncles in Africa can easily make this level of modification, not to mention the Chinese people who have a higher per capita cultural and technological level.

Because the road conditions inside are uncertain or "confirmed", guardrails are welded to the cargo beds of other pickup trucks to facilitate the fixation of supplies, equipment, weapons and other materials carried.

Lucas and Meili actually knew the terrain conditions inside, but they could assume that the terrain inside was very bad and

In addition, protective modification requirements have been put forward for vehicle windows and doors.

Steel plates have also been installed on parts of the car body that are easily damaged.

The modification was not difficult and the materials were easy to find. Several residents with strong hands-on skills cooperated with Colin's men and had completed most of the work by the time Lucas arrived.

Lucas handed his car keys to Hope, and although she didn't say anything, she just nodded, but she knew what to do and would drive his electric car back to Lucas's residence afterwards.

Merry and Colin were standing behind a modified pickup truck, which was loaded with supplies, and talking.

"Ah, he's back," the black old man saw Lucas first and nodded slightly at him.

Merry turned around, saw Lucas, and asked casually, "What took you so long?"

"It took a while to deal with that Emily girl."

Hope came over with the car keys and listened in.

She was also one of the insiders of the situation, and knew that her mother and Lucas had basically no safety issues. Her mentality on this matter was very complicated. Influenced by the previous remarks of the aunts, she more or less agreed that the news she spread that Zach's classmates would enter the "Misty Realm" was related to it.

However, Emily's counterattack was very sharp, and she also agreed with Zack and others that it was their own fault.

"I'll introduce you to my men later."

Colin seemed to be extremely confident in himself and his men, or was he just being reserved in front of Lucas? Anyway, he didn't introduce his men in detail, and nodded and smiled at Lucas again.

“I just want to get to know them.”

Lucas nodded at him, handed the roster in his hand to Hope beside him, and instructed: "Distribute this to every car, including the tanker truck."

"Ok"

Hope took it, answered cheerfully and left. Merry and Colin were a little curious, so they each took a book from her arms and started flipping through it.

Lucas changed his equipment beside the car, taking off his casual jacket and putting on thicker outdoor adventure gear. There was nothing to avoid, as the scene was noisy and busy. The supplies were piled on the open space in front of the county bureau, even tarpaulins and marching tents. A modified vehicle was poured with water to cool it down quickly and given a simple cleanup. Then, enthusiastic townspeople helped to load the supplies carried by the vehicles onto the vehicles, bundle them up, cover them with tarpaulins and secure them.

However, when he was taking off his clothes, Meri beside him whistled at him like a hooligan and reached out to touch his chest muscles. Lucas slapped her hand away in annoyance.

Merry let out a series of muffled laughs, and the old man next to him also laughed.

After starting to work out, Lucas' body became a little stronger. He doesn't have the big muscled look with bulging muscles and blue veins, but he has a well-proportioned figure like Ning Zetao, with a dog-like waist and tight and full skin. As the person on Twitter said, "I didn't expect Asians to have such sexy and beautiful muscle lines."

Merry also went back home. Although the size of her clothes was different from Lucas's, the shape and style were the same. They were all professional outdoor adventure equipment produced by a well-known military manufacturer from another time and space. Many designs had not yet appeared in this world, even gloves and belts.

After changing his clothes, Lucas began to put various tools and equipment into his pockets, such as radios, magazines, grenades, flashlights, knives, etc., and checked the weapons, bazookas and anti-personnel mines he had been assigned.

It was still dark at this time and the light was still very strong, but the sun was already setting, around 4 p.m.

Many onlookers around witnessed Lucas's changing of clothes. It has to be said that a sense of ritual is sometimes very important. The way he dressed and inserted various accessories into his body inexplicably made these onlookers feel extremely professional. In addition, he was handsome and had a good figure, so he unknowingly gained a lot of favor from passers-by.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the black old man Colin, he had a brief acquaintance with the members of the temporary rescue team.

Taking into account the outbound and return journeys, as well as the possibility that the naughty kids might have had accidents inside, the convoy consisted of a total of eleven pickup trucks and a tanker truck, all with two drivers, carrying enough supplies for the entire team and an additional 25 people to last for one month.

The 25 people on the missing persons list have been identified, all of whom are students of Guanying High School.

The reason for carrying a month's supply was that bottled water had already appeared in this era. Although the county sheriff could not get bazookas and anti-personnel mines, he helped to get a batch of military rations. After packing them and loading them into the car with weapons and equipment, he found that there was still a lot of surplus transportation capacity, so he simply carried some more supplies, just in case, and to enrich the taste.
