Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 289: Meteorological Ecology and Guidance
".That's it."

Bart said.

"Ah."

Song Shi stared at the bubbling pot and raised his finger slightly, increasing the brightness of the flame, illuminating the surrounding area.

Without asking, Bart naturally revealed their purpose and the causes and consequences of contacting Song Shi in a chatty tone.

Strictly speaking, the "Rangers" are not Yenan's regular armed units. Their most common duties are actually reconnaissance and mapping of wastelands.

The defeat during the Seven Lands War forced many people to leave their hometowns, and a large number of forces lost their territories. Even though they were later brought together under the leadership of the first Lord of Ye Nan and regained part of the territory, it was not all after all.

Although some forces and people no longer care, the former are in the minority.

For more forces, under the repeated emphasis and teachings of generations, this vision of taking back their "rightful place" has not faded to this day. Instead, it has become more urgent due to decades of sedimentation.

On the other hand, [Yenan] also has a basic strategy to restore the ecology of the wasteland - this is the pursuit of the first generation of Yenan masters.

The Seven Lands War has caused serious damage to the world's ecology. Not only is the environment of the "wasteland" polluted, the land is barren and difficult to live in, but the probability of extreme climate has also greatly increased, and there are even climate disasters at the level of "natural disasters".

Every natural disaster will change the terrain of that wasteland.

Whether it is to restore the ecology of the wasteland or to take back the old land occupied by others in the future, [Yenan] must master the information of the wasteland.

The Rangers were established for this purpose. They travel the wilderness all year round, mapping terrain, environment and other data to build a real-time and detailed database.

When the rangers discover that there is a chance that the ecology of a certain wasteland area can be restored, Ye Nan will send a large force there to officially begin the wasteland restoration operation.

In a sense, Ye Nan's huge [Wide Area Weather Control Devices] are not only space-based weapons for them to manipulate the surrounding areas, but also tools for restoring the ecology.

——As rangers, Bart and his two companions are no exception.

Although the battle of Zhuguang City had caused action on the border between the Corporate Alliance and Ye Nan, their superiors did not give Bart and the other two additional tasks, and still asked them to survey the wasteland along the established route.

However, during the day, they determined that they were coming from the direction of the Corporate Alliance, so they thought of pretending to be vagrants to see if they could get some valuable information from the Corporate Alliance.

Moreover, even if the other party knows nothing about it, the desolate land is cold and lonely, and it must be quite stressful to run around here all year round. It would be good to find a stranger to chat with and relieve the pressure.

Then I met myself
"——Are you awake?"

Song Shi suddenly turned his head and saw the car door opened automatically, and a spherical body slowly flew out.

"This is to periodically clear redundant data," Lapis Lazuli corrected.

Bart was still a little dazed when he heard the conversation.

Marvin on the other side had already reacted. He was a technician in this ranger team, responsible for wasteland surveying, mechanical repair, prosthetic maintenance, network technology and other tasks. He immediately realized that this was by no means an intelligent companion drone equipped with an anthropomorphic program, but a real "intelligent machine"!
After a brief moment of surprise, a chill surged from the bottom of my heart and ran up my spine.

Before the other party flew out on its own initiative, I was completely unaware of its existence.

This shows that there is a huge gap between our own technology and equipment performance and those of the other party, and they are easily blocked.

Demon? What depth is it? Depth 2? No, I'm afraid it's depth 3.
Marvin lowered his head to hide his throbbing Adam's apple.

There were two powerful warriors with second-ring psychic powers, including a depth 3 demon. If the other party turned hostile and attacked, their team wouldn't even be able to get the message out.

"Can I ask you where you plan to go next?" Bart also realized a possibility and smiled: "Our route is to go east, to the Adat Mountains."

"Pan-Eastern Continental Union, Fengzhou County."

"It seems we are lucky and can still go a long way." Bart seemed quite surprised and patted his chest: "Song Shi. Uh, and this intelligent friend, if you don't mind, how about we go together? I can't say anything else, but at least I have some confidence in crossing the wasteland."

"Okay." The other party answered quickly: "Then let's go together."

Song Shi spread his hands and looked at the man with a smile: "With a free guide leading the way, it saves effort and worry. Should I refuse?"

A second later, Bart coughed and showed his genuine joy: "That's great." After a simple dinner, the night deepened. Bart and others had something on their minds and lost interest in talking, so they set up temporary camps and fell asleep. Song Shi also returned to the car, watched two simulacrum movies, and played games for half the night.

A psychic who has been promoted to the third ring is no longer a human being. Song Shi can stay energetic even if he doesn't sleep for a week. However, out of personal habit, he still sleeps for one or two hours every night.

At dawn the next day, the group cleaned up all traces of their overnight stay and set off again.

"Come to think of it, I forgot to ask you yesterday—"

Signaling Marvin to lead the way, Bart slowed down the motorcycle and wiped the window: "Friend! Yesterday you said that you stole this car from those company dogs! It's very exciting! Would you mind telling me about it?"

"I worked for Qimingzhe for a while." Song Shi pressed the window sill with one hand and said slowly, "I think I did a good job, so before I left, they gave me this car - I heard it was a treasured collection of a big real estate developer."

"The Enlightener?" Bart raised his voice amid the whirring sand and wind: "Wait, damn, this isn't the Lightforging City? You participated in that battle?!"

"Correct."

"Then have you met Chakoro? Did he really destroy the solar radiation focusing array of Fubo Energy that day?"

After hearing what the other party said, Song Shi hesitated for a few seconds and nodded: "How should I put it? You can say that."

"Amazing! Awesome!"

Bart nodded repeatedly, and there was a hint of longing in his brown eyes.

The abyss and domain firewalls have fragmented the former public domain into isolated islands, making ultra-long-distance information transmission quite troublesome.

Therefore, even though Ye Nan was adjacent to the Enterprise Alliance and the battle of Zhuguang City had a huge impact, he only received a few scattered messages while running around in the wasteland. Even with such a small amount of information, he consumed a large amount of cross-domain long-distance traffic charges.

Suddenly, at a certain moment.

"It's coming." Song Shi raised his head and spoke suddenly.

The others were stunned when they heard this. After a few breaths, Marvin, the technician, suddenly realized something. He quickly operated the equipment a few times, compared the surrounding environment, and his pupils shrank slightly. He shouted: "No! The sandstorm is coming!"

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the sky became like an angry giant. The sky, which was blue not long ago, changed color in just a few breaths. It was a deep black color that was so thick that it could not be dissolved, like a huge black dragon surging and engulfing everything in the world.

natural disaster.

Under the dim and gloomy sky, the air flow suddenly accelerated, mixed with sand and gravel, and the wind was strong and raging in all directions!

"I am 'Dayuan'." Song Shi looked at the sandstorm that was taking shape and said casually: "Compared to you 'Chaoyue', our perception in this area is still much stronger."

"There is no shelter." Bart didn't bother to speak. He quickly scanned the surroundings and found that there was no shelter. He said decisively: "Get out of the car! Dig a hole! We will bury it! There is still time!"

The motorcycle braked suddenly and the car also stopped.

Bart activated his psychic energy, increased the power of his prosthetic body, and was about to dig a big hole on the spot when he saw the door of a car open and Song Shi walked out.

The hem of his coat flapped in the wind as he paced forward.

"No need, no need."

"You guys should take a rest first."

While speaking, Song Shi was still watching the sandstorm ahead. He could see that in the rolling dust, a column of wind connecting the sky and the earth was rapidly forming and expanding.

The winding stream of fire bloomed silently, and then solidified in an instant, turning into a pitch-black straight knife.

“Things like natural disasters.”

Song Shi raised his hand with interest and stroked the blade inch by inch. Red-gold blood flowed out from under his five fingers.

"Just cut it open."
