"Closed." The two people in the sixteen-year-old group nodded.
"Don't play tricks on me. If you leave your phone connected to the Internet, it will expose our location."
"I know. You told me once." Hongye said, "We both listened to you."
Cai Shi: "Are we heading west next?"
"Yes, we'll go west along the Second Eurasian Continental Bridge! By the way, the next big railway hub is really Blue State, but it's so late, the ramen shops are probably closed. Next, we'll go west along the ancient Silk Road..."
Shelley: "Will you pass by Dunhuang? I have always wanted to visit the grottoes there and see the murals inside."
"It will definitely pass by. If you want to go in and take a look, I can first confirm the location of the surveillance camera, find a safe place, and then put you down for a tour."
Masha paused and added, "Of course, we visit at night."
Shelley sighed, "Forget it, it's dark. One day in the future, I will come here during the day to have a good look."
"The photo is done." Chihiro said as she looked at the picture taken by the low-light camera, "It's okay. I can recognize where it is."
"Let's go." Masha waved his hand.
**
Dozens of minutes later, Masha and others returned to the real world again - they had to cross the bridge.
"It's so cold." Chihiro said as she closed the car door, "Turkey, make some fire and warm me up!"
"I'm not a turkey, I'm Ifrit," Shelley protested, pouting, "and I don't need to make a fire to heat things up."
"It's really warm now!" the League Secretary said as he came up and hugged Shelley, "Oh, it's so warm!"
Cai Shi followed suit and hugged Shelley.
“So warm!”
Chihiro hurried over, and then a strange situation occurred where the three of them held Shelley together.
Qianxun is still singing: "You are a fire in the winter!"
At this time, the disguised door leading to the world in the car opened, and the sixteen-year-old group and Tang Yingqiu poked their heads out together: "Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
"Because we may be in the Tanggula Mountains or the Karakoram Mountains now, just look outside."
Several girls looked outside together and found that they could clearly see the snow line not far above their heads under the moonlight.
"What do you think we should do if a train suddenly comes when we are crossing the bridge?" the League Secretary suddenly asked.
"Then let's rush into the Earth's shadow and enjoy the free fall." Masha said calmly, "Anyway, it has been verified that you won't die if you free fall in the Earth's shadow."
At this time, Masha and his team passed by the bridge guard's hut, but the league secretary's skills had been protecting the van, so the bridge guard didn't notice any movement at all and simply didn't come out.
After crossing the bridge, Masha immediately hid the car in the shadow of the earth.
"We will probably have to cross several more bridges like this before we cross the border."
After Masha finished speaking, Chihiro shouted, "Luckily we have an English stove!"
"I'm not a fireplace!" Shelley yelled at Chihiro.
**
Not long after, Masha stopped the car.
"I don't think it's right," he said, picking up the atlas the terrorists left in the car. "I suddenly remembered that there are snow-capped mountains between our country and Kazakhstan. I need to check the topographic map."
After a moment, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "We took the wrong road. I don't know how we ended up on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. I told you, there aren't many snowy mountain scenes in Journey to the West. Instead, there's the Flaming Mountain. Let's turn back."
"You're going a bit too far!" The League Secretary looked at Masha, "You've taken the wrong road since you started at Lanzhou!"
"Oh, isn't this good? How many people want to take a journey to purify their souls, but they can only think about it. We have already made it happen." Masha turned around and started to speed up. "Do you know how many young female intellectuals are willing to hitchhike in order to go to Tibet at the cost of being raped?"
"Okay, drive!" The league secretary pushed him hard.
**
After more than an hour, Masha suddenly said, "I can see the grassland!"
He patted the league secretary and said, "Activate your skills. Let's save a file in reality."
So they returned to the real world, and Masha pointed to the side of the railway and said, "Look, grassland!"
Chihiro rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked out the window.
The grassland under the moonlight is quite charming.
"It's a nice view." Qianxun came close to Masha, "No wonder Emperor Kangxi was looking for the Korchin grassland all day long."
Masha opened the window, and the night scenery of the grassland and the free wind poured into the car.
"It's a pity that no one here can play the matouqin."
As soon as Masha finished speaking, Chihiro began to sing: "In that faraway place, there is a good girl~"
"Such an old song?" The League Secretary complained, "Are you really an 18-year-old girl?"
"This shows that the charm of old songs can stand the test of time."
As soon as Qianxun finished speaking, Cai Shi hummed a completely different melody.
Masha raised his eyebrows. "Grassland? When I hear this music, I can't help but think of Malinovka."
"Hey, what is that?"
"It's a tank-shooting game, don't mind it." Masha waved his hand, and then he began to sing, "The steed is galloping across the vast grasslands~ The steel gun is tightly grasped and shining~ The mountains and rivers of the motherland are connected to my heart, and I will never allow jackals to invade~"
The league secretary looked at Masha, then looked at Qianxun, and sighed: "You two are so in sync, are you really a generation born in the 21st century?"
Just as Masha was about to answer, Chihiro started singing "The Girl from Tashkurgan".
Chihiro had just started singing the chorus when Masha took over the conversation with the cheerful "Youth Dance".
The league secretary said to Cai Shi, "Let's go to the back and see if we can make a hot pot with the things in the refrigerator. Tonight we can eat hot pot and sing songs while enjoying this trip to the grassland under the moon."
"Oh." Cai Shi nodded.
Chapter 354 This is the reincarnation of Yizhong (Part )
During this trip, Masha traveled a lot to see the mountains and rivers. When he got tired of driving on the grassland, he entered the shadow of the earth and accelerated forward, and then came out when he reached the scenic spot.
Along the way, Masha and his friends visited all the national nature reserves they could, and found that apart from the last wetland reserve, which was beautiful under the moonlight, they didn't see much.
Of course, Masha and his friends are not just sightseeing, they are mainly leaving "save points". Who knows if they will be used in the future?
Finally, at about three o'clock in the morning, Masha said to the girls who were still cooking hot pot and eating barbecue in the car, "Look, we've arrived at the 'Flame Mountain'."
"We can't see it." The League Secretary said while yawning, "Hurry up and find a place to save it, and go back to sleep."
"Okay, once we cross the border into Kazakhstan, we'll find a conspicuous landmark and save the file."
As Masha said this, he drove the car through the Alashankou port and crossed the boundary marker.
However, just as he crossed the border and drove around the foothills that blocked his view, he saw flames rising into the sky in the distance.
"Girls, I have bad news for you. I saw a fire rising into the sky ahead."
The girls turned together and looked at Masha.
"Could it be a person with super powers?" Shelley asked. "Before I was executed, I would read the awakening status briefing of the previous day every day, and the weekly report every Monday. The awakenings around the world have increased significantly, and the growth rate is also getting bigger. At least MI6 has adjusted the predicted time for full awakening. The world government predicts that it will take one to two years, and the prediction provided by MI6 to the Prime Minister's residence in Downing Street is six to eight months."
Chihiro: "I remember you said that the World Government's plan is to first gather the superpowers who are willing to join the World Government in the heart of G15 to ensure the stability of these places."
Shelley: "There are also grain-producing areas. We must ensure their stability. In fact, the World Government think tank reports that I can see with my level of security have always emphasized the importance of grain-producing areas. They believe that a full awakening will inevitably lead to famine. Therefore, grain-producing areas, oil-producing areas, and industrial areas are the three main areas that must be strictly guarded."
"Kazakhstan is also an important grain-producing area and oil and gas resource area. It should also be on the list of areas under strict defense, right?" asked the Youth League Secretary.
"I'm not quite sure about the complete plan," Shelley seemed to be recalling something, "but I remember that the key grain-producing areas to be protected were the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, and the G15 countries also each secured a quota for protecting their own grain-producing areas, except for Japan."
Cai Shi burst out laughing: "Is Japan so miserable?"
"It has no grain-producing areas, it's mainly fishery." Masha said, spreading his hands. "The Japanese are too cunning. It would be very harmful to the United States if Jin Kara was given to him."
"No one plays this joke anymore. Jin Kara has been out of fashion for a long time." Chihiro pushed his shoulder.
"Shouldn't we go over and take a look?" the League Secretary asked, "Or are we already on our way?"
"In fact, we've reached a burning area, and it looks like... a Kazakh city, my god, the whole city is burning. I don't see anyone putting out the fire, nor do I see any United Nations Security Forces soldiers... Wait a minute, I see a large group of helicopters coming from the east."
"The people we sent." Chihiro muttered softly.
"This shows that Kazakhstan's local armed forces are no longer effective." Masha said, "We didn't see any news about the unstable situation in Kazakhstan before we set off. This is probably the work of a superpower."
At this time, Masha suddenly found the wreckage of a power armor on the ground, and the logo of an office with a very long name could be vaguely seen on the wreckage.
"Fang Fang! I saw a power armor from an office with a very long name! Get ready! Let's pull the armor back."
“We are ready to act.”
As the League Secretary responded, Qianxun and the others tacitly lifted the table and the induction cooker and quickly retreated to the world in the car.
So Masha parked the car skillfully and entered the real world.
"Ghost!"
Guigui jumped out of the car, picked up the armor and stuffed it into the car, then jumped back.
Masha moved the car back into the shadows.
Guigui carried the armor directly into the world in the car.
Masha followed.
Chihiro looked at the armor and said, "It is indeed the armor of the office's rapid response team. It is a heavy weapon that is used to deal with particularly critical situations."
Shelley: "This armor was not damaged by bullets or shells. It is the masterpiece of super power."
Masha asked Chihiro: "Do you know how to open this armor? Maybe the people inside can still be saved?"
"This is the emergency switch, but it's broken, so we can only open the hatch manually. Generally, a special jack is needed to open it..."
Guigui didn't wait for Masha's order, but stepped forward and exerted force, and managed to open the hatch that could only be opened with a jack little by little.
Hongye and Huagu Shuang both vomited at the same time.
But Masha and the others were used to big scenes, and Shelley went forward very calmly to examine the body.
"That's right. The cooling system of the power armor was disabled. The man was roasted to death inside the armor. The one who attacked him was someone with superpowers like heat control."
Then Shelley pulled the dog tag out of the man's collar.
All United Vigilantes use dog tags.
Shelley carefully read the words on the dog tag.
"This... seems to be a person with super powers, affiliated with the Greater China Northern Frontier Rapid Reaction Force."
Chihiro: "His team should have eight people, four combatants and four backups."
"I only saw a wreckage, I think..." Masha shook his head, "The reinforcement fleet is approaching, I don't think we can continue to survey the scene."
In fact, Masha not only saw the fleet of helicopters, but also saw the armored troops coming along the road, and of course the powered armored infantry advancing together with the armored troops.
After all, Masha is the son of a former captain of the reconnaissance brigade. His father has taught him a lot of military knowledge. He judged that this force might consist of a combined brigade.
—In other words, does the superpower who destroyed this small town in Kazakhstan have the combat power to mobilize a synthetic team?
Masha asked Chihiro: "When you first awakened, could you fight against a synthetic brigade?"
"Nonsense, of course not. Even if they are people with super powers, they can be easily killed without combat experience and power armor to make up for their weaknesses. Of course, someone like me who is SSS-level with powerful combat skills and has combat experience is more difficult to deal with even without power armor." Chihiro said.
Masha was shocked.
"This situation doesn't seem good. I feel like there might be some organized superpower organization here."
Masha muttered as he continued to circle the burning city.
Suddenly, he spotted the wreckage of a power armor with a fancy paint job that looked like it came out of the game "Rage 2".
The wreckage was covered with bullet holes, obviously destroyed by conventional weapons, but the hatch of the wreckage was open and there was no one inside.
"Uh, Shelley," Masha called to the British girl, "Do you remember any organization of people with super powers whose logo looks like this?"
Ma Shan pulled out a piece of paper and quickly drew on it with a pencil.

Alas, MSI is over.
