Decisive decisions from the upper echelons

 Capital of Wu Kingdom.

Wudu.

Inside a conference room on the top floor of a building.

The top officials of Wu Kingdom gathered here in a short time.

They looked at the video footage transmitted back from the high-altitude camera on the big screen, and their wrinkled brows were tightly furrowed, their expressions serious and dignified.

"Since receiving the news, only ten minutes have passed, and the situation has already escalated to the point of alarming the national populace. What are your thoughts, everyone?"

The elderly man sitting in the first seat, the head of Wu Kingdom, Wu Boxue, had wise eyes filled with wisdom and sharp eyes scanning the people in the conference room.

"Head of State, upon receiving the news, I immediately ordered the Qingzhou Police Department to mobilize its entire staff to suppress the zombies."

"Please rest assured, Head of State, the chaos in Qingzhou will be put down before dawn."

Li Changqing, the director of the Police Department, quickly stood up, afraid to look directly into Wu Boxue's eyes. He lowered his head, pale-faced, and panic-stricken, but vowed confidently with his mouth.

The Police Department was the security management department of Wu Kingdom.

Such a shocking incident suddenly occurred in Qingzhou, and once accountability was pursued, Li Changqing would be unable to escape punishment.

If the "Qingzhou Zombie" incident could not be resolved perfectly and give the people an explanation, he would not only lose his position as director, but also possibly lose his life.

How could he not be panicked and afraid!?

"If the chaos cannot be put down before dawn?" Wu Boxue asked back.

Upon hearing this, Li Changqing was startled and immediately lowered his head, dared not speak.

Although he had issued an order to the Qingzhou Police Department immediately after receiving the news, due to the urgency of the situation and the need to rush to the conference room, he had not learned about the details in the possession of the Qingzhou Police Department.

Therefore, he knew nothing about the nine deliverymen or the first location where the zombie outbreak occurred in Qingzhou.

Through various articles, videos, live broadcasts, and footage transmitted from high-altitude cameras, he only knew that the zombies possessed terrifying infectivity, strong destructive power, and seemed to possess intelligence.

Besides that, they knew nothing about the source, the reason, or whether someone was orchestrating it behind the scenes.

In such a situation, even if all the personnel of the Qingzhou Police Department were armed and acted, the outcome was unpredictable.

Facing the Head of State's interrogation, Li Changqing dared not make any further guarantees.

"In just over ten minutes, the number of zombies has grown from a few dozen to nearly a thousand, and the number of deaths cannot be counted. This is only an initial estimate based on the footage transmitted back from the high-altitude camera."

"The chaos in Qingzhou is nothing less than a disaster."

"To prevent any eventuality, I have decided to mobilize the police personnel from Quanzhou, Wuzhou, Tongzhou, and other cities adjacent to Qingzhou, put them into a state of readiness, and assemble them outside Qingzhou."

"Before the Qingzhou incident is resolved cleanly and investigated thoroughly, no one is allowed to enter or leave Qingzhou."

"Once the Qingzhou incident develops beyond control, we will abandon it decisively and blockade Qingzhou comprehensively."

Wu Boxue raised his voice and spoke decisively, taking precautions.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room was startled.

Qingzhou had a population of nearly a million people.

Abandoning Qingzhou would mean abandoning millions of lives?

But in the next second, everyone was relieved.

Because everyone knew deep down in their hearts.

If the situation really developed to the point where it could not be controlled, not abandoning and blocking Qingzhou would likely lead to the end of the world.

What were the lives of mere millions of people compared to the lives of the entire national populace and the global population?

"Head of State, the Qingzhou incident is spreading too rapidly on the internet, and it has already caused widespread panic among the people."

"Should we take down all relevant content, reassure the people, and suppress the panic?"

Seeing that the Head of State had made a decision, Zou Fengxia from the Internet Regulatory Department pondered for a while and timidly asked.

"It was too late to seal off the news immediately after the incident. What's the point of taking these extra steps now? Do you really think the people are fools?"

 "The incident has already occurred, and we shouldn't be thinking about how to conceal it. Instead, we should present a specific plan to remind the people how to avoid danger in this disaster and explain to them afterwards."

Wu Boxue glared at Zou Fengxia, exuding an air of authority and oppression.

"Yes."

Zou Fengxia immediately broke out in cold sweat on her forehead and quickly lowered her head, not daring to speak more.

The development of online public opinion to the point of alarming the entire nation was not what Zou Fengxia wanted to see.

Such a situation occurred in the middle of the night and instantly became the headline on various platforms.

By the time the internet regulatory department noticed, it had already caused a stir.

It was too late to try to control it.

At this moment, Zou Fengxia spoke out of turn, merely wanting to see the leader's reaction.

Seeing that the leader did not blame her, but merely reprimanded her a few words, she was frightened but also relieved.

The others in the conference room, sensing the oppressive aura emanating from Wu Boxue, also lowered their heads and remained silent.

They all knew deep down.

The leader had already made the worst preparations for the Qingzhou disaster.

"Since none of you have anything to say, let's move on to discussing how the blockade project should proceed."

Seeing this, Wu Boxue stopped discussing how to deal with the zombies in Qingzhou and directly moved on to discussing the "Qingzhou Blockade Project" plan.

...

Let's move on to another side of the story.

"Suspected zombie species have been discovered in multiple areas of Qingzhou. Through initial judgments, they possess astonishing infectivity and destructive power, are intelligent, ferocious in nature, and extremely bloodthirsty."

"Please note that residents outside should ensure their own safety, avoid staying outdoors, return home as soon as possible, lock their doors and windows, and do not become one of the zombies."

"At the same time, we encourage all capable individuals to pick up weapons and resist, ensuring the safety of themselves and their families. The resulting damage and consequences will be borne by the country."

"In addition, the police will resolve this disaster as soon as possible. Please do not panic and do not obstruct the police's actions..."

Qingzhou.

Xianghe Community.

Sitting on the sofa, Lin Chuan watched the news being broadcast on TV with a smile on his lips.

Zombies with intelligence?

Their intelligent behavior was merely Lin Chuan's remote control.

It was a deliberate attempt to infect the police's judgment and maximize panic.

Encourage capable individuals to pick up weapons and resist?

From Lin Chuan's perspective as the zombie mother body, this was undoubtedly a joke.

There was a huge disparity in strength between humans and zombies.

How could a single person possibly be a match for zombies with enhanced physical abilities?

Who isn't selfish when it comes to survival?

In such a short time, how many people would join together to face and resist the zombies?

Regarding the police.

While their armed operations indeed possess the ability to kill and dispose of zombies.

However, Lin Chuan had already gained the upper hand, so how could he give them such an opportunity?

Moreover.

Only ten squads of the police have arrived at the scene so far.

And each squad consists of only ten people, all of whom are being held up by the chaotic situation outside the scene.

Such squads, in Lin Chuan's view, were effectively sending him equipment.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan's smile became even broader.

He walked over to the window again and looked down.

He saw that the once desolate streets were now bustling with activity.

All those outside, upon learning of the zombie incident and seeing related news reports, were scrambling to return to their communities.

Lin Chuan turned his head and looked at the quiet Xiao Wenjing: "You should act now!"

With Lin Chuan's command, Xiao Wenjing opened the door and stepped out.

Taking the elevator down to the first floor, she headed towards the entrance of the community.

On the way, she encountered fleeing survivors and infected them all decisively...
