Chapter 196 196. Abandoned Capital Group

“It tastes very average.”

Qiao Mu held a red sausage with two bites in his hand, his expression solemn.

Compared with the previous private jet, they took an ordinary flight this time, just first class.

The flight was not long, and food was provided on the plane. Qiao Mu was now eating a lunch of red sausage, bread, pickles, and bacon.

Looking out the window, there is a large forest. Siberia is located at high latitudes and has long and cold winters. It is said that the coming of age ceremony here is to throw a person into the forest to fight a bear. Qiao Mu does not know whether it is true or not.

"Don't eat too much, be careful to spit it out later."

Su Hong warned him. He didn't care about the taste and casually combined the food into a sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth.

Bai Lian quite liked pickled cucumbers, so he ate everything in front of him.

"When I was studying, I had no money, so I could only eat bread and meat. I couldn't afford pickles."

Du Ruo smiled.

“Are you still poor if you can afford meat?”

Qiao Mu stuffed his mouth full, because he heard the flight attendant said that if it was not enough, he could ask for another portion, so he ate a lot.

"Vegetables here are more expensive than meat. In other words, for the same money, eating meat is much more cost-effective than eating vegetables."

Du Ruo seemed to be reminiscing.

Seeing this, Su Hong pursed her lips, and finally looked out the window.

It was already afternoon when the flight arrived at its destination.

They took a jeep sent by Lubyanka Entertainment to the front line. By the time they arrived, the sun was almost setting.

Qiao Mu saw from a distance that the sky ahead was covered with clouds, and only a pillar made of flames shot straight into the sky, shining brightly in the dim night.

"what is that?"

he asked, pointing ahead.

Su Hong looked over, and he also saw the red flame pillar.

"I'm afraid this is the epicenter of the pollution."

Du Ruo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, explained.

The jeep parked next to the forest a long way away from the pillar. Several people got out of the car and found that it was a small town. The residents seemed to have evacuated, and only people from Lubyanka Entertainment came and went.

As soon as he got out of the car, Qiao Mu saw several foreigners in leather jackets holding professional cameras and filming the flame pillars.

"This is someone from the Wasted Capital Group, and it seems that they have also been called in for support."

Du Ruo explained in a low voice.

"Abandoned Capital Group."

Qiao Mu repeated, wearing glasses, he could roughly understand their conversation.

"The degree of contamination is very high. In this case, it is estimated that there is no way to deal with it using conventional methods and the only option is to bury it deeply."

"But there are still investigators in the core area. If we bury it deeply, these people will never be able to get up again."

They seemed to be discussing countermeasures, not in the language of Siberia, but in English.

"Hello you guys!"

As a social shy person, Qiao Mu immediately went over to say hello. He was not used to strangers, so he had to make strangers mature.

".Who are you?"

One of them noticed Qiao Mu. He was wearing sunglasses and holding a pipe. He was about forty years old. At first glance, he was the highest status among these people.

"Hello, we are from Northern Heavy Industries. My name is Su Hong."

Su Hong immediately pulled Qiao Mu behind her and introduced herself in English.

".Hello."

The man returned Su Hong's extended hand.

"I know your people, Zhou Mingke is a powerful guy."

He did not introduce himself, but looked at Qiao Mu and Bai Lian, who looked like a high school student.

"This is not a place to play games. If you want to rescue her, you'd better obey our command."

It seemed that this man didn't pay much attention to Qiao Mu and Bai Lian, who were whistling. As for Du Ruo, maybe he didn't notice this person at all.

"I think it's better to ask Lubyanka's friends first. After all, it seems that many of your people are trapped inside."

Su Hong retorted in a neither humble nor condescending manner, which made the other party walk away with an ugly look on his face.

"They also have people trapped in Chernobyl. It seems that there are many variables in this mission."

Su Hong said to Qiao Mu.

"Why do people from other countries enter? Isn't this an anomaly that Lubyanka Entertainment is responsible for?"

Several people walked towards the headquarters. As they walked, Qiao Mu became curious.

"Because the level of Chernobyl is very high, when it comes to anomalies of this level, in addition to Lubyanka itself, other organizations must also send people to supervise together to prevent an organization from making its own decisions. It is not just us and the abolitionists. Dou Group, Hedao Culture, Pantheon Technology, Pyramid Media and other organizations have sent people here.”

Su Hong replied, looking at the rising pillar again.

"It is for this reason that Lubyanka Entertainment does not dare to take arbitrary measures to push the Chernobyl area into the abyss again. That is a major international problem."

Moreover, Qiao Mu and his team’s mission in the Chosen game is to close the [Gate of Hell]. If the mission fails, their fate will not be much better. This wave is indeed a major event affecting the Chosen of the entire world. If it is dealt with If it's not done properly, the world will probably be engulfed by anomalies, so it's no wonder it's a special mission.

They came to the town's command post, which was originally a school. The flags were still flying on the playground, but now almost all investigators were wearing gray uniforms.

[Watch his eyes, there is a monster living in those pupils. If you don’t want to die, don’t look into his eyes! 】

[This guy has a body of steel, and I mean that literally. Don't try to fight him head-on! 】

[He can turn into mud. Do you think this is useless? That's normal, he doesn't even know what it's for! 】

Qiao Mu scanned the investigators coming and going and found that they all had bright red writing on them. It seemed that these people had different extraordinary powers and were all masters.

In the school auditorium, Qiao Mu saw some brown and black electronic equipment forming a command post. Several people were sitting in front of the equipment and busy looking at the screen. A man in a black suit with gray temples stared at him solemnly. Screen, not a word.

Du Ruo walked at the front and said hello to the man.

Qiao Mu recognized that this was Igor, the person in charge of the Chernobyl area.

Just when Qiao Mu was about to speak, Su Hong covered her mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Su Hong reminded.

"oh!"

Qiao Mu responded and obediently stood with Bai Lian on the child's side.

"Lao Du, long time no see."

When Igor saw Du Ruo, his solemn expression finally relaxed a little. He hugged Du Ruo and pointed at the screen.

"Now the five kilometers around the Gate of Hell have been completely affected. They are all filled with monsters. There is a lot of pollution within a distance of fifteen kilometers. Even ordinary people will be alienated immediately if they enter. We are now thirty kilometers away from the center. If we go further Protective measures are needed beforehand.”

He briefly introduced the situation and pointed to the map on the screen, which was about ten kilometers away from the center.

"Task forces from various countries lost contact here. All we can confirm now is that they are still alive, but unable to return. Now our top priority is to rescue them."

"What is going on here, Igor, I need a definite explanation, otherwise we will not rush into it."

Du Ruo said that he knew very well that if the full story of the incident was not understood, then no matter how many people entered, they would not be able to fill the hole, which would only lead to more casualties.

"It's complicated, Lao Du."

Igor was a little embarrassed. He looked at Su Hong and the others.

At the same time, in Qiao Mu's field of vision, bright red words appeared on Igor's sparse head.

[He is ambitious and capable, but unfortunately fate is never on his side. Pay attention, this is not a good gentleman! 】
