Chapter 233: The Maritime Nation’s Answer

Looking at the young man who sat there motionless even when he was mentioned, the pressure in the conference room rose sharply.

Mr. Su's face did not change at all, but he sat up slightly.

At this time, several doors around the conference room opened at the same time, and teams of fully armed soldiers rushed in.

They all wore protective shields on their heads and matched new weapons.

Not a specific gun, but a silver gun with a strange thread at the end.

Although they just came in now and did not do anything else, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.

At the same time, a tall man in a leather jacket also walked in from the small door behind Mr. Su.

The secretary who was sitting behind Mr. Su, with delicate makeup and taking notes with a pen, also raised her head.

The whole conference room seemed to be blown by an invisible wind, gently colliding, and stirred into a piece of strange vortex.

The window was obviously closed, but the documents on the table next to it were flipping.

…

…

"Don't panic, panic is useless."

Mr. Su said to the recording secretary who pulled his clothes, then looked at the old captain politely and said with a smile:

"Mr. Ye should know that it is very impolite to bring an S-level ability person to other people's places casually, and when you sent us a fax a month ago, you didn't mention that there was an S-level in your expert team."

The old captain just laughed, shook his head, and said: "The main reason is that if I say it, I'm afraid you won't agree."

I have to say, this is really an honest statement.

Mr. Su said to the old captain: "Mr. Ye can now tell us the real purpose of coming to Qinggang."

"I am here to seek cooperation."

The old captain answered frankly: "Again, if we want to fight against the upcoming drastic changes, we need to cooperate closely."

"Among so many people who can choose to ally, the one that the Sea Kingdom is interested in is Qinggang."

"You have the most advanced new agricultural production chain in the alliance, and you have also cultivated the best wild species. Your research on mental mutation can also be ranked in the top five in the alliance. Therefore, the best choice for the Sea Kingdom to return to land is here..."

"..."

Professor Bai interrupted him and said: "Your desire to come back seems very urgent."

The old captain glanced at Professor Bai, laughed, and said: "Yes, because we went to the sea first, we suffered the least losses during the years when crazy people were rampant, but some other problems did arise."

"For example, a curse that makes people no longer look like humans?"

"..."

Professor Bai was thoughtful, tapping his knuckles, and said, "Are you trying to say that the Sea Country has degenerated in some way?"

The old captain just smiled at him and stopped talking.

Professor Bai just glanced at Mr. Su and didn't ask any more questions.

Mr. Su said, "I think Qinggang has shown enough sincerity for the exchange and cooperation proposed by the Sea Country."

The old captain looked at him, laughed, and said, "I just said that this level of cooperation is obviously not enough."

"I know that if the Sea Country really comes back and joins the alliance, or even Qinggang, there will definitely be some annoying and dirty things. Everyone has selfish motives, so unless one party is willing to pay a huge price, there will be no real cooperation."

"So, I chose another way of cooperation, and the Sea Country will take over everything in Qinggang."

"..."

This absurd statement made many people in the conference room feel a sense of distortion.

I don't know whether to be angry or find it ridiculous.

Mr. Su's expression did not change. He crossed his fingers and whispered, "You are provoking a war."

The old captain slowly looked up at Mr. Su: "Isn't what I said clear enough?"

"This is a war."

"..."

The sound of the helicopter's propellers was very harsh.

It was already night, and the weather was unusually clear, so the red moon with a large piece missing also seemed unusually clear and bright, and seemed closer to the city than usual. It was like hanging behind a tall building, and you could touch it if you reached out your hand.

Lu Xin sat in the helicopter, thinking that this was what it felt like to ride a helicopter.

I used to think it should be fun, but now I know... it's really fun, but it's a bit noisy.

The bright spotlight of the helicopter swept down, and you could see a ruin in the eastern part of the city below.

A long cordon had been set up around the ruins, and rows of armed soldiers were pointing guns at them.

And in the ruins was a temporary detention site arranged by the city defense department.

All the people pointed out by Lu Xin have been arrested and expelled into the ruins.

But now, many people have not been arrested.

It's not that there are not enough people to arrest, but that everyone has hidden.

Even though the radio urged all citizens in the city center to come to the street and be checked again and again, so that Lu Xin, who was riding a helicopter, could directly pick them out, there were still many people who hid for various reasons.

They are in this city, but they cannot be quickly distinguished from ordinary people.

"The pilot of the stress relief and detoxification course was first started in the city center and the south of the city. If the pollution you are talking about... is transmitted from this course, then it must be focused on these two locations. I really, really don't know who is playing these broken things, but I also know a few people who like this kind of thing. I have asked them to ask each other..."

In the channel, Fatty Liu's voice came out, full of anxiety at this time, and seemed very sincere:

"Some things are inconvenient for you to ask, and they won't tell you even if you ask, but the people I arranged can find out..."

"If you don't answer, I will beat you..."

"The names of those people they searched just now are all suspects. As long as we catch them, they will definitely not escape..."

"Look, I have behaved so well, and afterwards..."

"..."

In this massive search and arrest, both the Special Cleanup Department and the City Defense Department have made great efforts, so they were able to arrest thousands of people in a short period of time and send them to the quarantine area. Even this Fatty Liu used his own methods to help find a large number of suspects. However, even so, there are still many mutants who have not been caught.

Lu Xin looked down from the helicopter. Even if he couldn't see it directly, he knew that there were still a large number of mutants hiding in this city.

"We have reached our limit. Even if we mobilize a large number of soldiers and police officers to knock on doors door to door, it will take a lot of time and energy. So we must admit that it is impossible to capture more mutants in a short time!"

Chen Jing's voice came from the intercom: "So, there are two things we need to do now:

First, we need to prepare for large-scale mental mutation events in advance. The city defense department has already made arrangements for this.

"Second, we need to find out the possible threats these mutants may pose and take targeted measures in advance..."

"Single soldier, since you are the only one who can see that they are in an abnormal condition, this job requires your cooperation."

"..."

"Okay."

Lu Xin agreed and said to the driver in protective clothing in front: "Go down first."

Beside him, Baby sat close to him and held his arm tightly.

"Is she afraid of heights? "

Lu Xin thought about it and suddenly shook his head. She must not be afraid of heights.

When I first met her, she jumped from a helicopter. How could such a person be afraid of heights?

However, for the current situation, this does not seem to be the most important issue.

He began to think about what Chen Jing said. What kind of changes will these people with mental mutations eventually undergo?

...

Now, they are all very normal.

Even in his eyes, they have become all kinds of monsters.

But at this time, they will still cry, make noises, and be afraid, maintaining their own rationality and thinking.

This is obviously not a normal feature of mental mutation.

So, when the real mutation occurs, what will they become?

This reminds Lu Xin of Vice President Xiao's stepmother, who is also the boss of his company in a sense.

She was the first mutant he saw with his own eyes. Her performance was that she had already mutated, but she didn't even know this mutation. She just made a wish to make Vice President Xiao crazy, but she didn't know the price to pay for making this wish.

Just like she didn't know that she had grown another head at that time.

Strictly speaking, she was the initiator of the nightmare incident that Vice President Xiao encountered.

The shadow that affected Vice President Xiao's nightmare was also her.

This shows that it was actually her mental power that worked at that time...

Afterwards, she became haggard and listless, which is likely related to the consumption of mental power.

However, she herself has no ability, so who gave her the ability?

Or, who borrowed her mental power to exert the ability?

And what is the purpose of this person?

...

...

"So, the chaos in our city now is what you arranged in advance?"

At the same time, in the conference room of Donghai Hotel, Mr. Su asked slowly.

"Just some necessary arrangements. "

The old captain nodded and said, "No one has the experience of using ability users to participate in war. If one person is not well controlled, it will definitely cause particularly heavy casualties. Therefore, some arrangements are made in advance to quickly determine the winner and avoid too many deaths."

"Ka!"

Listening to the words of the old sailor, some people were already furious and clenched their guns tightly.

There seemed to be an invisible string in the air, which was already stretched to the extreme at this time.

Mr. Su and Professor Bai's faces were still calm.

At this time, Professor Bai's pen was slowly turning between his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

Mr. Su looked at the old captain and said, "So, is this the answer you gave us, Mr. Ye?"

"When you are among a group of children who don't understand the power of firearms, but hold guns in their hands..."

"..."

The old captain knew that he understood what he meant, smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes. "

"In order to avoid being killed by these ignorant children…"

"We decided to shoot others in advance."
