A loud bang exploded from the highest signal tower in the city.
Orange-yellow flames soared into the sky, accompanied by thick smoke and tilted in the wind.
The moonlight at night was temporarily obscured by smoke and fire.
The siren sounded quickly, and in the surrounding Security Bureau branches, speeding car lights were raised one after another, approaching the signal tower.
Layers of invisible fluctuations flew past the signal tower, seeming to be scanning for something.
The crowds and vehicles under the tower fled quickly, and the circular block was cleared in just ten minutes.
Then came one after another black and white police cars, flashing red and blue lights, approaching quickly and stopping.
The door of one of the police cars opened, and several solemn figures carrying silver suitcases got out.
There were three of them, two men and one woman.
Standing at the front was a tall man wearing a gray windbreaker and a navy blue police uniform.
He had a mustache on his chin, deep eyes, and light eyebrows. He was staring at the smoking signal tower with his lips pursed tightly.
"Xiaocheng, Wanru, it seems that the anonymous warning email is true. Someone is really planning to attack us in Fengnan."
His voice was not loud, but the two people behind him could hear it clearly.
"Since that person is willing to tip off the information, but does not take the initiative to prove it, it means that his identity is likely to be hidden from the light. But it is not important. No matter what his purpose is, our goal is the same, which is to weaken
And kill these terrorists in Utopia!"
The man who spoke had a stern face, carried a long dark red knife on his back, and was wearing a tight-fitting black and red police uniform. He was clearly Suiyang's deputy security director, Ding Zaocheng.
He only received a request for help from his teacher Xue Weimin and quickly came to support him.
The same goes for the other Zheng Wanru. Together with him, they were both students of Xue Weimin.
When they were able to become omnics, Xue Weimin made great efforts.
"I have checked through various channels, but there are still no clues. This explosion destroyed the city's main signal center and had a great impact on the coverage of the Silent Fortress. If we cannot repair it quickly within 48 hours, I am afraid there will be more to come.
trouble."
The black-haired woman with a high ponytail on the side answered in a low voice.
She is Zheng Wanru, the third generation boss of the Zheng family, a member of the association, and the main force of the younger generation of the Zheng family. She is now the director of the Special Investigation Division of the Provincial General Administration of Security, at the same level as Ding Zaocheng.
"Maybe this is the purpose of the person behind it." Xue Weimin whispered.
He watched groups of police officers rush into the building entrance below the signal tower and was about to continue speaking.
Suddenly, a rapid communication sound came over him.
"The Director is in trouble! Among the victims are Chairman Feng of the Provincial Federation and his daughter Feng Zhenyan!"
"What!? Feng Lu is here too!?" Xue Weimin's eyes suddenly opened wide.
Not only did he hear the voice in the communication, but Ding Zaocheng and Zheng Wanru on the side both trembled and felt a chill in their hearts.
If it was just a slightly larger bombing before, it was nothing, but now, Feng Lu, the president of the federation, died in the explosion together with her daughter.
This nature has changed.
Although Feng Lu is the president, she is old and is only the representative of the Feng family in the provincial federation.
He is a man of high moral character and good manners, and has a high reputation in the association.
Coupled with the strong strength of the Feng family, they are truly a powerful force in Fengnan Province.
Xue Weimin never expected that the target of the attacker behind the scenes was actually the president of the Federation!
"Let's go! Go take a look!" He was the first to step forward and walked towards the still burning signal tower.
The other two people looked tense and quickly followed.
At this time, both of them felt an indescribable gloom in their hearts, as if they could feel that an impending storm was about to sweep across the entire Fengnan Province.

Buzz.
The crimson light spot flashed across the night sky and flew into the distance, like a red meteor.
In front of the Botanical Garden.
Li Chengyi slowly lowered his head and retracted his gaze from the night sky. He didn't know what those red lights were, but according to what his boss said before, those were the movements of the self-circulating city.
The difference between self-circulation and ordinary cities is completely two worlds.
It's not an exaggeration to see any messy things.
Those are not the most important things now.
But the power of the sunflower scale clothing really works on those invisible monsters!
'This proves that my previous thinking was right!'
Smoothly escaping from the blind spot made him calm down again.
He had just escaped from the quiet shop in a dead end. He originally thought that when he walked out of the shop, he could discover the external truth as recorded in Zhong Hui's notes.
But unfortunately, when he was about to reach the open space outside the green belt, his eyes suddenly flashed.
In the blink of an eye, people have returned to the entrance of the botanical garden.
And time has passed for several hours.
‘Now, it’s time to absorb the mutant flower energy of the wisteria flower and complete the second evolution’
Standing at the gate, Li Chengyi clicked on his AR glasses to make sure that nothing in the blind spot had been recorded. Then he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the person on duty at the botanical garden.
"Uncle Li? Open the door, I'm in the garden."
"Mr. Li? Right now, please wait!" An elderly man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Not long after, the iron fence enclosing the botanical garden slowly flashed a green light and separated on both sides.
An old man with a flat head wearing an old camouflage uniform, holding a remote control in his hand, stood at the door and looked this way.
Li Chengyi strode in and put the cans he took out from the quiet shop into a pocket.
"Has the silver vine I ordered arrived?"
"It's already here, it arrived a few days ago, and the Gladiolus multiflora has arrived." Lao Li replied, "I picked up all the goods. The workers have also prepared the transplanting position, and I'm just waiting for you to come and see it."
"Go and have a look." Li Chengyi decided in his heart and asked him to lead the way.
The two of them entered the botanical garden together and found a large area of pure white wisteria flowers in the wisteria greenhouse.
The petals of these flowers are larger than those of ordinary wisteria, not a little bigger, but much bigger.
Perhaps because they were just transplanted, the petals and leaves are a little shriveled and lacking moisture.
"All the previous wisterias have been sold, and only one-fifth is left to make nests for the newly arrived silver vines." Old Li said with a smile, "These mature flowers are much more expensive, and there is not much demand.
More, that is, the boss would only buy it because of your personal preferences, and no one else would have such a strong idea."
He seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
Because he was the one who found these channels for purchasing silver vines.
The source was provided by his relatives in the countryside, and he also took some kickbacks from the middle price.
He was eager to do this kind of job where he could eat meat by pulling a string.
"Where is the Gladiolus multiflora?" Li Chengyi took a deep breath and could smell a faint pea-like fragrance.
"It's in another shed. Boss, let's go see it now?" Lao Li asked.
"No, I'll check the flowers here carefully first." Li Chengyi slowly walked to the silver vine flower stand, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the hanging large bunch of flowers.
laugh.
A wisp of cool flower energy flowed into his fingertips, then flowed into the back of his hand and entered the mark of the Flower of Evil.
Suddenly, a ray of new feedback poured into Li Chengyi's mind.
‘Secondary evolution degree: 16%.’
The previous evolution level was 15, and then it was stuck there without any improvement.
Now finally, after absorbing the Silver Vine Wisteria variant, the secondary evolution has finally made progress again.
Li Chengyi's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with inexplicable fulfillment.
He stood under a large piece of pure silver vine, put down the flying instrument and bag, and kept touching the surrounding white petals with his hands.
The tangy aroma and soft touch made him feel faintly addicted to it.
And the degree of evolution is also constantly improving.
18.
19.
twenty one.
25.
Although the numbers are not very fast, they are extremely firm.
Ten minutes later.
A slight sound came into his mind.
‘Second evolution degree: 100%.’
Done! Finally done!
Li Chengyi let out a long sigh of relief.
'Next is Gladiolus.'
Picking up the things, he quickly went to another greenhouse.
There, he saw the newly arrived Gladiolus multiflora, which was also pure white.
Unfortunately, the number of Gladiolus multiflora was insufficient due to lack of funds. As a result, the secondary evolution degree it absorbed only reached 43%, and then stopped completely.
Then Li Chengyi went to check the sunflowers again, but unfortunately they were still the same, and even some were missing because they were not stocked.
Disappointed, he did not stay in the garden, but quickly left the botanical garden, told Lao Li to guard the gate, and called a car to return to the city.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, he put the Flying Instrument box on his knees and the plastic bag holding the cans aside.
'Next, it's time to look for evil thoughts. As long as the evil thoughts are absorbed, the second evolution of the wisteria flower can be completed.'
‘It’s really inefficient to keep searching for evil thoughts aimlessly. The two ends last time were very good. It was a very successful case.’
Li Chengyi closed his eyes and thought.
'Judging from actual examples, people with stronger willpower will generate more evil thoughts, which can be sustainable. People with strong willpower often only appear in a few types of people.'
'First, a person who has faith, ideals and hatred, and who has gone through hard training.'
'Second, those who have experienced painful lessons, come from poor backgrounds, and climb to high positions step by step on their own.'
'Third, people who are wandering between life and death and need to bear tremendous pressure at any time.'
Li Chengyi felt that he was not very smart, so he could only summarize these three categories.
Just like the woman he saved before. She relied on hatred to have a strong will.
'It seems that most of the people from terrorist organizations like Utopia meet my needs.'
'But now I can't find anyone in Utopia for a while, but the second and third categories are easy to find.'
The second category is nothing more than the leaders of gangs. These people have climbed up from the bottom. They rely on their ruthlessness to get ahead, and their willpower is naturally very strong.
The third category is the simplest.
That is. Dead man!
Those who can withstand being entangled in blind spots again and again, and still survive and remain normal, must have an extremely strong will and can become his fertilizer.
