The Goddess Shines on America

Time, nine forty in the morning.

Location, Great Dismore Swamp, North Carolina.

The vast swamp is covered by a meadow with an average height of one foot. The latitude here is low, and the average height of the meadow is much higher than that of similar terrain at high latitudes. When you step on the ground with a pair of sneakers, you can clearly feel that the wetness and softness of the ground is not comparable to that of ordinary land.

The rented Chevrolet sedan has already bottomed out on the road, but as long as you find a car dealer to wash off the dirt on the bottom of the ass before sending it back, and fill it up with gas, no one will know that they are driving A lowrider is coming to the edge of the swamp.

At this moment, the four girls are standing on the edge of the swamp, and have already crossed the barbed wire fence set up by the state government. It says "this place is dangerous, no entry" is written on it, but unfortunately it has no effect on them,

"I'm a little excited."

As the most adventurous person, Ashley said excitedly, her long blonde hair tied into a tight ponytail, and she was very stylish in marching boots and brown overalls. That pair of beautiful long legs are slender and straight, which perfectly matches her slender waist.

"In short, everyone, be careful, after all, we don't know what danger is here."

Alice is much calmer than her. As the key person for everyone to walk into the swamp safely, she must also be calm: "You stay here first, and I will use my mental power to scan the surrounding environment first."

Hearing this, Ashley shouted even more excitedly: "Come on, honey! Scan my body to your heart's content!"

"Uh cough cough!"

Sissy gave her a hard look.

Alice was not talking, but closed her eyes.

There are rare times when she needs to use her superpowers seriously.

In an instant, with his powerful brain developed to about 20%, a powerful fluctuation of mental power instantly swept around.

In the vast swamp, there are lush meadows everywhere, and you can see many vast but shallow puddles. Many creatures are inhabiting this land, mainly birds. Alice immediately saw many cranes and herons resting in various waters, as well as many swimming birds such as ducks and geese, raptors such as swamp swans, and amphibians. Toads and frogs, reptiles, snakes and baby crocodiles, as well as voles and muskrats roamed the meadows.

What a harmonious environment.

But seeing that Alice closed her eyes and didn't open them for a full minute, the others were a little nervous.

Sissy said nervously, "How about it, Alice, did you find anything wrong?"

Maiya whispered to herself, "Maybe I should have bought a gun earlier..."

Ashley hisses at a shameless show off by a girl who is old enough to buy a gun.

After a while, Alice opened her eyes.

"No abnormality was found. At least for now, this is a normal swamp. I even scanned the 6,000 acres of land I wanted to buy."

She smacked her lips: "To be honest, compared with other places, the soil quality of the six thousand acres is much better than this one."

Ashley is the least able to hide her feelings: "No way, Alice, you can even scan things like soil quality!?"

Maiya also looked at her in surprise: "This is simply stronger than satellites!"

Alice didn't answer the question, but said: "No abnormalities have been found for the time being, so we have two options now, either go deep directly, or wait for me to scan a few more laps, what do you think?"

Without further ado, Qianqian raised her hand first: "Your life is important, you should scan a few more times!"

Ashley laughed: "I should bring a bag of French fries, Maiya, what do you think?"

On the other hand, Maiya kept a straight face and said seriously, "No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful."

In this way, Alice started scanning again.

This time, the radar wave scanned the vast swamp area uninterruptedly. As she got older, Alice's mental strength was of course much higher than when she was a child. At full strength, with a radius of twelve miles, in such a very vast area, she was able to capture the number of cranes and herons in each acre in detail, and could detect how each crocodile was waiting for the approach of its prey, and even And when the majesty blows, how many can raise their heads.

But after only three minutes, she opened her eyes immediately, and then gasped heavily: "No, I'm exhausted! I have to take a break!"

"Oh~ please!"

Sissy rolled her eyes helplessly, and reached out to support Alice's body: "You idiot, you used up all your superpowers in one bite!?"

Maiya said calmly: "But still haven't found it?"

Alice shook her head and said, "Even if there is a problem, it probably won't be so easy to find out. Otherwise, with so many police patrolling and three helicopters floating in the sky, you should be able to see everything."

Wide-area scanning with full power is more tiring than simple high-precision observation in a small area. Alice has discovered this. I don't know what other people with mental power superpowers are like. Anyway, what she said seems to be the type of quality over quantity.

The rest lasted ten minutes. Alice sat on the ground and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes. When she woke up, her first words were: "If everyone can trust me, let's go deeper!"

Ashley rubbed her chin and smiled: "Just seeing your eyes turn black for a while and turn blue for a while is cool enough, I agree!"

Maiya brushed her short shoulder-length hair and put on sunglasses: "I agree."

Sissy didn't speak, just took Alice's arm.

Alice snorted and took a short rest. Her face, which was a little pale before, was now flushed again.

"Come on, SOS group, set off towards the mysterious swamp~!"

"Oh~! Let's go~!"

Well, Ashley was the only one who responded.

The great "Alice Group that Makes the World Livelier", for some reason, is called SOS for short anyway, and this started a strange trip.

To say what is strange, we must first analyze from the way everyone travels.

Just like elementary school students on a spring outing, everyone obediently lined up in a long line and followed Alice obediently. Among them, Sissi followed closely behind, while Maiya walked at the back, looking behind her from time to time.

Furthermore, the speed is neither slow nor fast.

It's not just because the ground is relatively wet, it's like being soaked in rain all year round, so you have to be careful on your feet. The most obvious is Cici's steps. She seems to be afraid of something suddenly jumping around her, such as snakes, scorpions, and centipedes. Even crocodiles or something. But as far as everyone went half a mile into the swamp, it seemed that the only thing that came out was a roe, and it was almost caught by Ashley, who saw this small animal for lunch for the first time, so frightened like convulsions ran back into the grass.

Then, when we were three-quarters of a mile deep in the swamp, we stopped for a moment.

For no other reason, Sissy and Ashley were tired.

"After all, where should we go?"

Sissy sat on the paved waterproof mat, with Ashley leaning on her back: "Isn't it possible to walk the entire swamp in a big circle?"

Maiya stood beside them, thinking: "According to the situation described in the newspaper in the library, during the initial investigation, people outside received 30 to 50 calls per minute. After all, there are more than 170 calls. Police and three helicopters. Then..."

Alice sighed deeply: "After everyone went deep into the swamp for half an hour, the communication traffic dropped sharply, leaving only the normal reports of the three helicopter pilots. The three of them departed from the entrance separately because they were flying units. , exploring in the three directions of left, center and right, and far ahead of the speed of the ground troops. So the other two..."

Having said that, Alice stopped talking.

She immediately looked at Maiya.

The other two girls, who hadn't been at the State Library in Raleigh, were on their feet right away.

"Maiya, what do you think?"

Maiya was wearing sunglasses, so she couldn't see her eyes clearly, but her lips were clearly pursed.

"According to the original text of the newspaper, the missing helicopter was heading west...Alice, map!"

Since it was an adventure in the dignified Great Dismore Swamp, of course Alice had a map in her backpack. Hearing that Maiya needed it, she immediately took it out and spread it out on a slightly dry ground.

Maiya pointed to the map and said, "Look at the west side. The terrain in the west side is higher, and the land should be relatively dry, so the possibility of the missing person staying there is higher. Therefore, the patrol force will also send the most troops there. Don't look at this as searching in a vast wetland, there is no targeted target, the distribution of the number of people is uneven!"

In the end, it was a girl who planned to be admitted to the West Point Military Academy. Although Maiya didn't know much about business, when she looked at the map, she talked about the deployment of patrol teams with eloquence!

"So the reason for the disappearance should be on the high ground in the west, and it is likely to spread from northwest to southeast, covering a helicopter and more than 170 police officers. As for the two helicopters, because they are far away North and northeast, so it survived."

Sissy stared at the map, she could understand what a contour line is, but for Maiya's analysis...

"Spreading from northwest to southeast? Why do I think you're talking about the weather forecast?"

"Yeah! Yeah! The weather forecast!"

Good guy, Ashley got her spirits up again, and yelled loudly: "It's sunny to cloudy today, cloudy with light rain today, the weather is 100 degrees Fahrenheit today, and tomorrow there will be a category five typhoon and a category seven storm." Los Angeles, please quickly cooperate with all departments to prevent moisture... Oops!"

"It's going to be one hundred degrees Fahrenheit in your house in Los Angeles!"

"What's the weather like today, sunny to cloudy or cloudy with light rain, please explain clearly!"

"What is the concept of a five-category typhoon?"

After a long time of mind bouncing, Ashley yelled and screamed. Fortunately, she also had long legs, so she escaped the encirclement of the crowd with a light jump.
