Body 235

231. Assassination

After the 9th district was resolved, the 10-member team dealt with the 19th and 4th districts one after another, and by this time, the number of people who had actually died from the virus had exceeded 100,000. However, the news is still released by a media control team affiliated with the City of San Diego's Virus Control Command, and the number released to the public does not exceed 4,000. It's not that the truth hasn't been announced, but the fact that 4,000 people have died from a sudden unnamed virus and that the Atlanta Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has yet to come up with a credible treatment plan, or even a stopgap situation, has caused panic in the United States and around the world. The proposal of the World Health Organization's Infectious Disease Investigation Team to participate in the investigation was rejected on the grounds that there was no way to guarantee the safety of the persons involved in the investigation for the time being. This gesture of not letting the news leak as much as possible has made the outside world have a variety of speculations. In such a situation, the question of when the world will be able to get the real news is an unanswerable question. Maybe it's the next moment, maybe never.

Werewolves appeared at the airport in Los Angeles. Insula answered the phone and said eagerly. When CDC troops arrived in San Diego and began to take on increasingly onerous clean-up tasks with great professionalism, Sula's ability to stay on top of the situation was greatly improved. The mysterious and changing temperament of Insula made the team members he brought out with him a little reverence when they said every word.

The appearance of werewolves in Los Angeles and San Diego are different. Santiago is, at best, a satellite city with a sizable population, an area with a more pronounced ethnic settlement. For the spread of the virus, the channels of contact with the outside world are limited, and the blockade can be extremely effective. But not in Los Angeles. There are so many ways to get to the outside world in this hugely open city, and Los Angeles Airport has a sizable number of flights to the rest of the world, and it would be a serious situation if a virus-infected person or any werewolf or vampire or something like that had the virus left the area that way. Although Orpheum has not yet been found, it is conceivable that a guy of Orphein's status will not participate in the basic distribution of the virus. At the moment, Orphen is far less dangerous than the werewolves and vampires.

Everyone began to realize that perhaps this was another opportunity for the Dark Council to seek a decisive battle with the Truth Society and American society. If they can spread the virus everywhere, it is likely to cause mass deaths all over the world, at least in the United States, and then it will not be possible to deal with it by any cover-up.

Leaving behind the officers, San Diego police officers, and virologists, the rest of them lunged straight for Los Angeles. Two jeeps loaded with a lot of equipment and weapons sped away towards Los Angeles.

Even though he doesn't have a local driver's license in the United States, Zuo Lin is responsible for driving the car in front of him at this moment. Insula and Emile sat in the passenger seat and in the back, respectively. After dozens of hours of continuous fighting, the Tai family was very tired. Emile strapped himself to his seat with a seat belt and fell asleep. After such a long and unpleasant battle, Emile's expression at the moment was a silence and seriousness that was not commensurate with her usual performance, and perhaps, even in her dreams, she would look back on these killings over and over again that she did not want. No one is immune to blood on their hands. Emile is no exception, and now Emile is more inclined to do these things for her friends, for her children, and for her lovers, rather than for those who seem to be insignificant. She knew that these people were not actually insignificant, and that once the virus spread to a certain extent, it would completely get out of people's control and turn into a catastrophe that swept through all of humanity.

On the road leading from San Diego to Los Angeles, two lanes were set aside for the Command Headquarters to transport personnel and supplies. On these two lanes, they can fly without restrictions. There's nothing wrong with that, except for being a little more eye-catching. There is no way around this measure. Since the news of the virus began to be spread out inconsistently, those who could afford to leave San Diego have driven out of San Diego after passing quarantine. And in San Diego, on the tip of a small peninsula, the places you can go are quite limited, and Los Angeles is undoubtedly the best option to accommodate almost any number of people.

Just as Zuo Lin was thinking crankily and pressing the accelerator, a rocket came from the side. The distance was too close, and the amount of launch advance had already been calculated, and the rocket, which used one window as the launch window and the other window as the exhaust port for the tail flame, smashed firmly on the compartment of Zuo Lin's car, and an orange-red flame immediately enveloped the entire car.

For them, what was more dangerous was not the fact that the car had flipped 360 degrees and then fell back to the ground - it didn't seem to affect the engine at all, nor did it penetrate the heat of the hot tongue of fire and thick red flames into the car, but only the bombardment wave from the explosion - but the large and small airbags that suddenly popped out of the back of the interior of the vehicle. Their original speed was too fast, and Zuo Lin only subconsciously stepped on the brakes, but he didn't have the ability to adjust the degree to which the car deviated from the original trajectory at once. The green light flashed, and a layer of green thorns grew on Zuo Lin's body, which burst through the air bag at once. The next moment, a fuel tanker truck suddenly appeared in front of him, and he lifted the steering wheel hard to the side, but Wulin still failed to let the vehicle avoid the container truck in time, and the front of the car still hit the bumper at the back of the container truck.

The car behind rubbed a puff of white smoke on the ground, leaving a long black tire trail on the road before braking the car, and did not hit the back of Zuo Lin's car and crashed into a string. When several people in the car were about to jump out of the car to see the situation, the roof of the container truck was lifted and thrown to the side of the road, and the four sides of the baffle fell to the ground with a bang. A thick black juice poured towards the two jeeps, and the people who had been hiding in the containers kept shooting at them with light machine guns in their hands. The dense barrage broke through the liquid and smashed into the Jeep's hull. He didn't even have time to throw the spirit armor on Emile and Insula, Zuo Lin could only open the spirit armor on his body and use his body to protect Emile and Insula. He held Emile tightly in his arms, holding Emile tightly as he tried to break away and fight back eagerly. Insula, on the other hand, transforms in an instant, turning herself into a strong bear that is naturally not so easy to penetrate.

As the droplets flowed down the body to the ground and were about to burrow into the interior of the vehicle through the holes in the body, Sulla tore open the entire Jeep's rear door from the back of the car, allowing the upward-opening rear door, which was designed to store bulky items, as an exit to the passage.

"Come out, there's something wrong with that liquid outside. Insula shouted.

Emile felt that Zuolin's physical condition was not right on his body, and a stream of hot liquid flowed through his clothes to Emile. Zuo Lin was bleeding. "Are you alright......", Emile asked uncertainly, reaching out and touching Zuolin's back. The armor formed by the Spirit Armor Technique was torn into pieces and stuck to the body. After all, the defensive speed of the Spirit Armor Technique is limited. When the speed of the bullet in contact with the body exceeds the fact that there is no time and reaction to continue to inject the force of nature into the Psitron, what the Psitron can do is use it as a body armor that may be strong enough, but the material is more brittle.

Almost instantly, Emile replenished himself and Zuo Lin with the Spirit Armor Technique, and turned over and covered Zuo Lin's body. Insula smashed the rear of the car and dragged Zolin and Emile out. Insula pulled a cart over and barricaded it to the side, forming a barrier, hiding Zolin and Emile in a corner where bullets and droplets could not touch.

"Holy Light Barrier!" At this moment, the two knights teamed up to cast a divine defensive spell, blocking the three of them from another splash of liquid. The "Magnetic King" was also freed from the pain of being strangled by his seat belt, and as he focused, the bullets fired at the druids stopped in mid-air and fell to the ground. Although he was a little tired, he was still able to move the cars whose owners had left in horror to the front of the car where Zolin and the others were, and put them together with the barrier formed by the two cars, giving the druids better protection.

"Pull back!" the knights ducked behind the cart, firing a bunch of bullets with their hands, shouting at the druids to cover them for retreat. The "Magnetic King" is also trying to make a shelter for them with the various metals around it.

Insula pulled Emile. Emile felt that Zolin's body had no obvious reaction due to blood loss and the violent concussion of the bullet, and he was a little angry. If it weren't for the time when there was almost no strain at such a close distance, Zuo Lin would never have suffered such a serious injury in an instant. When a large part of this injury was caused by self-protection, it made Emile even more angry.

The proud little girl pushed Zolin to Insula, not at all afraid that it was now on the bustling highway, surrounded by panicked crowds, and directly used part of the Transfiguration. The angelic wings hula unfurled, unlike the previous just for the purpose of reconnaissance. This time, Emile was full of strength, and even exerted 120% of his strength under anger. Her white wings were like two giant scythes, and with that flap of their outstretch, she sliced through the roof of the burning jeep they were, and she jumped straight from the roof to meet the enemy who had turned from a surprise attack to a strong attack.

No sooner had he jumped out of the roof of the car, with neither speed nor height, than a werewolf easily landed his paw on Emile. Emile used another part of the Transfiguration, the Tiger Form. Her wings were still flapping hard, maintaining her balance, trying to lift herself into the air, but her body had turned into a tiger. The image of the "Flying Tiger" is really strong and weird. The werewolf's claws, which had barely been attached to Emile's body, became meaningless, and the transformation was completed in an instant, and Emile's claws were cut off as soon as his claws were closed. Emile then reverted to a human form with a pair of holy-looking wings...... Like an angry angel.

232. Spread

Insula exclaimed in surprise, "Emile, you are crazy, there are so many people here!"

Emile just tilted his head sideways, not even looking back at Insula. With another flapping of her white wings, she leaped nearly a hundred meters into the air and flew above the container truck, now a flatbed truck, carrying the enemy and countless weapons and equipment, and she chanted a mantra in a loud voice, her voice like chanting an epic, a prayer because of her anger and hard restraint. Ignoring the vampire duke who had spread his bat's wings and rushed towards her, Emile raised her head high to the sky, her arms outstretched as if to embrace the untouchable clouds, and small points of light were thrown by her, spreading around her body, making her image even more holy.

The Duke of Vampire would never dare to think that Emile had underestimated himself for making such an almost unguarded gesture, because the people of the Dark Council knew how difficult it was to conjure a partial transformation of wings from butterfly bones. It is completely different from the strange physique of them, who can grow bat wings with extremely simple cultivation after being transformed. The Vampire Duke has no chance of reaching the distance where he can effectively attack Emile. He was horrified to find that the countless points of light around Emile had instantly turned into countless green crystal-like blades of varying lengths, enveloping them overwhelmingly.

Seeing the vampire duke's efforts to dodge the blade, the open flesh wings were shattered, and the whole person fell to the ground with a bang almost like a stone, Emile raised his chin slightly. It was like a god who looked down on all beings. Spells weren't Emile's specialty, and she stayed in the air for a split second, then suddenly lunged at the howling werewolves, vampires, and devil contractors on the ground. When a Devil Contractor had just opened a crystal wall to block the blade and breathed a sigh of relief, Emile had already stopped behind him with the acceleration of gravity at a very fast speed, and the triumphant Devil Contractor felt a chill in his heart, and he clearly saw a long green blade peeking through his heart. Emile's drawing of the blade was so brisk and neat that the devil contractor didn't even feel the pain, didn't feel the hard metal twitching in his body, and the moment the air flowed from his chest into his back, he felt that Emile was no longer behind him at the moment, and his power had vanished.

Breaking into the realm of melee combat, Emile immediately turned the tide of confrontation between the two sides, and the guns in the hands of these guys of the Dark Council were no longer so useful, and after kicking over the large barrels of black liquid, and easily kicking the few low-level werewolves and vampires who poured the liquid away, Emile won space for the "Magnetic King" to attack. It also allowed the two apprentice knights to rush forward with confidence.

Dodging the slashes that slashed at him, Emile didn't even take a step back, and with the members of the Dark Council everywhere, and even many people jumping out of the surrounding roads and vehicles to join the warband, Emile's fighting style was like a gorgeous dance. After a two-fight with a vampire count, and when the count thought that Emile was going to launch another frontal attack, Emile suddenly flashed and slashed a werewolf who had been rushing towards a midshipman who happened to pass by their warband. The vampire count hurriedly rushed up to intercept Emile's path towards another werewolf, only to find that Emile's pounce was just a disguise, and Emile, who jumped in mid-air, made a turn in the air as if she could resist the most basic physical principles on Earth. Grabbing the Count's sword diagonally, he jumped behind the Count and stabbed one of the vampires who was fighting Insula from behind...... This happened several times, when he escaped from the battle several times in a row by brushing the vampire's attacks, and focused on sniping the living forces of the Dark Council, Emile's successive victories finally made the vampire count understand that he was too far behind Emile in terms of combat skills and macro vision of the entire battle situation. Emile played with himself as if he were standing on the edge of a chessboard and playing with a weaker piece, ready to expel him from the board with a flick of his fingers. And now, Emile is just settling the battle at his own pace.

The pressure felt by the vampire count made his movements slightly distorted. Unable to keep up with Emile's pace, he seemed to be chasing a shadow in the void. Just when the vampire count's movements were a little sluggish, Emile keenly caught this, and stabbed out at the moment, directly cutting off one of the vampire count's hands. Then he slashed off the head of the vampire count with a horizontal sword.

Suddenly lost the center of his own organization of attacks, although it was to reduce the enemy, but Emile was faced with the trouble of needing to choose the opponent again, Emile was by no means a person who liked knightly heads-up, watching the two trainee knights fight with werewolves and vampires against the holy light, Emile pounced directly. In the sudden pinch-attack, the guy who was already embarrassed by the probationary knight was instantly finished. The faces of the two apprentice knights were extremely embarrassed, and it was naturally undesirable to be one-on-one in this kind of melee, and they were just used to it. They don't think Emile is insulting to them by intervening, but they are embarrassed to thank Emile for his actions.

Fortunately, Emile was not aware of their emotions at all, although with the fierce battle, with the constant fighting, as the patches of blood were poured on the asphalt and the muddy black liquid mingled together, making a terrible stench, her mind had calmed down, and she had completed the transformation of her mood by fighting. She was still furious, but it didn't affect her judgment in battle. …… She knew that that would definitely be what Zuo Lin wanted.

In this short stretch of road, in this trap, the Dark Council actually ambushed more than 70 werewolves and 4 devil contractors who were not very strong, as well as about 10 vampires, who were attacked by such a large number of troops, and their group was very embarrassed. Zuo Lin, who was the most combative and had the most control in the melee, was injured at the beginning again, which made them even more embarrassed.

Fortunately, the two trainee knights and the Magnetic King worked together, the knight was originally a special class of troops that had both offense and defense but was more defensive, and when the "Magnetic King" was trying to play, he controlled and circled a Humvee Jeep that he didn't know who belonged to him, constantly crashing into the members of different Dark Councils. It's like a powerful asteroid.

Although they fought extremely hard, Emile managed to hold out until reinforcements arrived, thanks to Emile's extraordinary performance that attracted many enemies and kept sending those who came forward to besiege them to the death list. Gustav "The Serpent" arrives first, having been in the vicinity to follow the Dark Council's leads. The explosion of the rocket that opened the trap in the first place was within Gustav's hearing range, not to mention the fact that Guspev also had the unique ability of the snake to feel the ground tremble. As soon as he heard the explosion, Gustav rushed here, and when he reached Emileten, he realized the complexity of the situation. In any case, Gustav, who arrived at this moment, became a crucial link. He pulled out a special long-range aerosol directly from his pocket. He squirted at the members of the Dark Council who had surrounded Zolin and Emile in the middle, and then shouted, "Emile, catch!" and threw a box of things at Emile, who jumped into the air to breathe a sigh of relief. Emile turned his head to see Gustav and felt a sense of relief. "Be careful!" Gustav shook his head very slightly, pointing at the box that arced in the air. Emile pounced knowingly, leaving enough room for others to snatch it, but in the midst of such a fierce battle, those guys of the Dark Council would only think that Emile was out of shape due to fatigue and nervousness. At this time, a vampire also flew. Haha laughed and grabbed the box and landed in the crowd. Surprisingly, this thing was not an antidote to the poisonous mist that had already begun to take effect, as he had expected, but a small bomb. The moment the bomb exploded in the crowd of the Dark Council. Gustav threw the real antidote to Emile.

While Emile was distributing the antidote, several werewolves who were almost as strong as they were clutching their necks and fell. The inhaled toxic mist began to erode their organs, and the first to bear the brunt of it was the trachea and lungs. Gustav would not mercifully temporarily take their time, drawing two long swords and easily smashing into the crowd. The Gustav, who was well-versed in the art of killing, was able to defeat 4 enemies in an almost instant.

After receiving the news, in addition to sending CDC and other members of the special forces to completely block all the surrounding roads and monitor all the people in the sighting range, Kleney, who knew the identity of Insula and was Insura's attendant, rushed in with several people from the American Federation of Paranormal Abilities. There's also one guy who works part-time in an organization of the Demon Hunters. The blessed silver bullet from the shotgun in his hand had a tremendous effect, and if it hit, it was bound to be a hard wound that broke the muscles and bones.

The people of the Dark Council are still trying to besiege with the last bit of strength, and their target is Zorin. But as a senior and powerful druid, and now he is the head of the intelligence department of the Druid Council, and a person on the same level as Zuolin, it is indeed a little troublesome to face the siege of so many people and take care of Zuolin at the same time from being attacked, but it is not on his heart. Moreover, Insula's rugged fighting style is more effective the more he fights later. Beaten by Emile and Gustav, by the "Magnetic King" or those two trainee knights, if you are alone, you can probably still withstand it, and if you retreat, you will be smarter, and you may not die immediately, but as long as you are stained by Insula's claws, death is still a trivial matter, if you are smashed a few bones and fall to the ground, you can watch Insula step on your body, and completely kill yourself.

An hour later, when the battle was completely over and the battlefield was cleaned up, Gustav was giving Zolin a simple treatment. Zuo Lin is fine, he just needs to recuperate for a while, I'm afraid he won't be able to intervene in the recent troublesome virus incident. But why Zuolin?

"Zuo Lin is now one of the few people in the world who has the ability to treat the virus, although it is forcibly defused by the power of nature. Insula muttered, "I'm afraid, the Dark Council uses the virus, not to kill a few people, but to kill a certain number of people out of so many. They don't want to be disturbed, they don't want to leave hidden dangers. At present, there is only one person in the United States who has the ability to treat...... What do you say?...... Now, let's see which direction the virus is going to spread. ”

233. Proverbs

It might be feasible to take Insula's words as a prophecy, and as he had predicted, symptoms of the virus began to develop in South Los Angeles a few hours later. Compared to San Diego, Los Angeles is far more important. Los Angeles police, the Centers for Disease Control and the Virus Control Command on the outskirts of San Diego worked together to cordon off the area where the virus had occurred, sweeping the entire area with flamethrowers and thermite. Under the threat of a virus that threatens to destroy cities, everyone is in a close relationship, and the actions of the government and the various organizations that are called upon to assist are much more efficient. Financial, human, material, pharmaceutical, and even various weapons and ammunition were quickly put in place.

In order to be able to fight the spread of the virus more effectively, Insula didn't care whether it was overstepping his authority, and after a phone call with the president, Insula took over the entire command, centered on the headquarters, and integrated all aspects of the force to form a larger scale, more centralized power, and more direct and effective management of the biochemical emergency headquarters.

Insula wasn't greedy for power, just very angry. These moves by the Dark Council are simply too much. The use of viruses is a contraindication in itself. Even in the dark ages when the power of the Holy See and the Inquisition was in full swing, even when the Holy See was covering the sky with one hand and all other forces had to hide and compromise, no force group or individual dared to use such weapons or skills. Weapons of mass destruction have never been just a concern for the clamoring United States, since the advent of similar weapons and capabilities, this has been the focus of all power groups. At that time, the Holy See's hunting and persecution of necromancers who possessed the clouds of death, the clouds of poisonous smoke, and so on that could affect an entire village and an entire city, and the elemental mages who had mastered meteor fire showers that could destroy entire fortresses and cities at once, would never be worse than the strength of the United States now inexplicably taking out false evidence to slaughter cities and destroy countries.

In addition, it is because the power realm always tries to avoid intervening in the secular realm with its own power. There are many capable people who have the same contempt for ordinary people as a rancher for their own cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, but they have to face up to the value of these ordinary people who can provide material support for themselves and provide more and more abundant products and services. No matter how contemptuous the attitude towards the secular world is, no matter how contemptuous the attitude towards ordinary people, everyone is always careful to control their own power, control their own attitudes, and let their abilities wander outside the secular society. Truly speaking, no matter which force group. Whether it is the Holy See, the Druid Council, the Society of Truth and other organizations, if they really want to influence a large number of people, they all have their own abilities and spells, and a few bishops and cardinals can join forces to cast a large-scale purifying holy light, and several masters in the Society of Truth who are proficient in spiritual magic will have a large range of spiritual magic with powerful demagogic abilities. In the Druid Council, there are quite a few druids who can be regarded as "map weapons". However, since ancient times, no one has ever used his abilities on such a large scale in the secular world, to kill a large number of ordinary people.

It can be said that no matter what the purpose of the Dark Council is, this time it has undoubtedly violated the taboo of the power world. But the Dark Council really didn't care much about that, and they had already been rounded up by some of the most powerful groups that everyone recognized as having done so. The combined efforts of the Holy See, the Order of Truth, the Demon Hunters, and the Druid Council have not eradicated the Dark Council, and now it's time to do it again. But now it has become secretive and strange, and the Dark Council, which is very deeply hidden, does not even have a fixed headquarters office location, and has become a strange structure that is half discrete and half intensive, except for large-scale operations such as encirclement and suppression. A more experienced and cautious Dark Council in the organization and planning of operations. In this operation to spread the modified corpse poison, the Dark Council was able to accomplish it without even realizing it. Even the temporary organization of actions that were not unbearable losses allowed Zolin to suspend the process of fighting them, and these series of actions can be said to be very high in terms of organizational level.

For the dark council that exhibited such characteristics, Insula was not completely sure to completely suppress it, and even organized another encirclement and suppression. If you want to organize encirclement and suppression, he knows that maybe with Zuo Lin's connections and influence, he should be able to, but he can't. However, he is more familiar with the transmission paradigm of the virus than Zorin, and is better able to command the forces at hand to contain the expansion of the Dark Council.

"From now on, the entire West Coast of the United States, all cities, airports are partially closed, and they must wait until all the quarantine equipment is in place and the epidemic prevention personnel are in place, and they are not allowed to partially open. No carrier of the virus is allowed to leave the West Coast by air. A proposal for biochemical martial law throughout the United States has been submitted, and a resolution will be issued within hours. In areas under biological and chemical martial law, the Marine Corps is temporarily assigned to the command of the General Command of Virus Epidemic Prevention and Control, and it cannot be extended for any reason. For those who carry the virus, they are immediately isolated separately and cremated by all means within 2 hours of death. For people with the virus who resist quarantine measures, CDC Special Response Forces, local police, and Marines are allowed to take all necessary measures to enforce quarantine, or shoot and kill. When taking action, give priority to saving yourself and do not cause your own staff to be infected with the virus when you take action. ”

The strategy set by Insula is still quite operational, and he doesn't need to say much. The various units are actually trained to fight bioterrorism, and the CDC's units are the most professionally trained, and the equipment is quite complete. While there may be some gaps in equipment among other units, there is not much gap in execution. Even in terms of force deterrence, most of the forces are stronger than the CDC's forces.

At the same time that Insula had just laid out a series of measures, news of the emergence of the virus came from Seattle. The immunization situation on the entire West Coast of the United States immediately became extremely severe, and at this time, the U.S. government finally issued an order to impose biological martial law in an all-round way, and all ports outside the country were closed before the quarantine equipment was in place, both externally and internally, and after that, the open traffic of all ports at home and abroad depended on the capacity of the quarantine equipment. While such a move would undoubtedly result in devastating economic losses, it is not intolerable compared to the likely mass deaths of American citizens, the associated greater panic, and public protests and distrust of government inaction.

It was at this time that Zuo Lin woke up in the hospital. In fact, it was not ideal to hand Zuo Lin over to the hospital, and Emile's several treatments, coupled with a large number of drugs, had actually controlled Zuo Lin's injuries, which were not very serious. However, because there was no more appropriate treatment for the time being, everyone still habitually sent Zuo Lin to the hospital and let those more senior surgeons treat the wound. The doctors were extremely incomprehensible to Zuo Lin's excessively high body temperature due to the force of nature, and after much discussion, they had to resort to a very idiotic treatment: constant intake of normal saline.

After a few hours, as the effects of the spell wore off and a large amount of saline accumulated, Zorin's body cooled down. Zuo Lin's body temperature has dropped after all. When Zuo Lin woke up, the horrible wounds on his body had even begun to be closed. Looks like it should be back to full after a while.

Being fiddled with for hours, confined to one position in bed for several hours, made Zuo Lin feel very uncomfortable. He struggled a few times, and the bandage snapped loose. Facing Emile and Pauletta and the others standing in front of him, the first thing Zolin said was: "What's the matter? What are you doing here? There are so many things to do." ”

As a sleepwalker, Zuo Lin is extremely peculiar. Sleepwalkers are a talent and can be torture at the same time. For a person like Zuo Lin with a lot of affairs and an extremely heavy sense of responsibility, entering the dream realm may indeed be an extremely effective way of cultivation, an additional time to organize his thoughts and ideas and conceive various plans, and it also means that Zuo Lin dedicates almost all of his time, whether awake or asleep, to the great cause of the druid.

Emile sat on the edge of the bed, intimately, but cautiously hugged Zuo Lin, and said, "The teacher is coming soon, can you heal your injuries first?"

Pauletta exited the room. Without asking Zuo Lin's opinion, he summoned the members of the original group and set off for Seattle on a mission. With the experience in San Diego, and those special abilities, they will undoubtedly perform better than those special operations squads made up of ordinary people.

"Why did Pauletta leave first?" Zuo Lin put his arm around Emile, the smooth heartbeat and breathing and the operation of the calm and powerful force of nature proved that he was now healthy, so that Emile finally let go of his heart, but at this time, Zuo Lin finally discovered that Pauletta's departure was not just to leave room for himself and Emile.

Pauletta said there was no big point in letting you continue doing the chores. Emile said, "The Holy See has sent men or something, and when they heard that you were wounded, they have sent men, do you want to meet them?"

Pauletta and Insula share the same idea, and they both believe that Zorin is much better suited than them when it comes to bringing together all the manpower of all sides to fight against the Dark Council.

"No, do you have a report on the current situation?" Zolin sat up, letting Emile lean on his shoulder. He took out the PDA from Emile's backpack next to him, connected to the internal network, and began to download the latest briefing.

It was only a minute before Zuo Lin logged in to the intranet with his ID when a phone call came, and Insula asked in surprise and joy: "Are you awake, are you okay?"

Zuo Lin smiled and said, "It's okay, is there anything I can do now?"

Insula was silent for a moment and said, "There is a tricky situation right now, Mr. Sun Digui is rushing here to work with virologists and biologists to study ways to crack the virus. I don't support a lot of power groups intervening at this time. The situation is too complicated now. However, I need an absolutely reliable and powerful person to take a risk. Someone brought something to Command, it was delivered about two hours ago. In the recipient field, write your name. ”

Zuo Lin said strangely: "What is this thing?"

Insula said with mixed feelings: "There are some miscellaneous things about the plan for the release of the virus within the Dark Council, including a list...... According to the letter, there is a list of dissenting people within the Dark Council who disagree with their current behavior. ”

Zuo Lin was silent for a moment and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

"Geofitz, it's an old friend of yours, isn't it?"

234. Apostate

Zolin had to meet with representatives from several other organizations in his capacity as the commander-in-chief of the Druid Council dealing with the virus in the United States, and then organized a rather important meeting.

In a small conference room, Clarence of the American Federation of Strangers, the head of the Holy See who had just arrived from Rome, Archbishop Sistine, the most trusted assistant of Medunke, and the leader of the Demon Hunter Organization, Constantine, and others were all present, in addition to a few of them, there were also representatives from the Elemental Wizard System, but the representative from the Truth Society was Sadia, probably considering whether Sadia and Zuo Lin were not good or bad now, but at least they knew each other. In addition, there are all kinds of mainstream and non-mainstream groups from all over the world, half of whom were not qualified to participate in such a meeting, but in order to make as many influential groups as possible form a consensus in the current severe situation, and to be able to gather as many forces as possible to solve the current situation, the Truth Society and the Holy See jointly came forward and invited representatives of almost all the large and small groups on their side in the world, as well as representatives of some neutral factions.

Hundreds of people gathered together, which was a situation that Zuo Lin had never encountered. These people are not going to obey their guys easily, and many of them have all kinds of ideas, and there is no shortage of people who are ready to see the situation at both ends of the spectrum. Of course, they can't be blamed for this, after all, the strength shown by the Dark Council this time, and the destructive power of these viruses, are really amazing. Anyone, even those who have the ability to not be afraid of heaven and earth, will inevitably be a little self-endangered. What's more, they and the Dark Council are no different from their hatred. When the Holy See, the Order of Truth, and the Druid Council besieged the headquarters of the Dark Council, there were even many people among them who sympathized with the Dark Council, fearing that their group would upset the major groups and that what would happen to them would befall them.

How should we deal with this group of people? This is a challenge that Zuo Lin has never encountered. Let the relevant and unrelated people be in awe of themselves equally? This is something that Zuo Lin never thought of. He never had to put on any gesture of authority in Parliament, but now he needed that sense of authority.

The door of the conference room opened with a loud bang, and Zuo Lin walked into the conference room with great momentum. Stood in the position of the presiding officer of the meeting. Emile deftly followed behind Zuo Lin, pressing a thin folder containing the documents of the current situation report on the table, and then she retreated behind Zuo Lin.

Zuo Lin glanced indifferently at everyone in the venue. As the "Lion" of the Druid Council, his status is awe-inspiring, however, his injuries have made his extremely high opinion of some people less convincing. Zuo Lin's hand pressed the stack of papers, and with a twist, the folders flew out in all directions like playing cards in the hands of a top dealer, and landed accurately in front of a person, without the slightest mistake. It was as if a well-trained office assistant was handing it out.

It had nothing to do with the druid's skills, it was purely a show off of the skills, and immediately the faces of several people changed. Not to mention how strong Zuo Lin is with the druid's natural power, and how superb his ability to use the power of nature, just Zuo Linlu's hand, those guys who have been studying the technique of exertion all their lives may not be able to do it. This combination of exertion and penetration in Chinese martial arts, coupled with the druid's precise grasp of strength and materials, is actually just a flash of inspiration for Zuo Lin.

"I need everyone's cooperation, I have just reached an agreement with the Holy See, the Federation of Strangers, the Truth Society and the Demon Hunter Organization at a meeting, this time the response to the virus will be the representative of the Druid Council, that is, me. to unite the forces of all sides and make every effort to suppress the spread of the virus. Fight the arrogance of the Dark Council. ”

As soon as Zuo Lin's words fell, an uproar erupted in the conference hall. Only then did everyone realize that before entering the venue, Zuo Lin and the representatives of those big power groups had only met for less than a minute, and the issue of leadership had actually been resolved.

"Quiet!" Zuo Lin said loudly, although he didn't roar strongly, but he suddenly suppressed everyone's voices. Zolin looked at Naclarence, the Sistine Archbishop and Sadia, Constantine and others. Instead, he said to the noisy people: "If you don't want to participate, you can leave, give you 5 minutes, and if you want to participate, listen to my assignment." There's no time to rip off right now, and every minute someone turns into a zombie. ”

Zuo Lin waited like that for 5 minutes, and no one left. The atmosphere in the conference room became calm and solemn again, and Zuo Lin assigned the tasks that each organization needed to undertake one by one. Although martial law has been issued nationwide, the vastness of the country makes it impossible for even a country like the United States, with a considerable amount of advanced equipment and sufficient manpower, to completely isolate the movement of people from one region to another, let alone make all movement through quarantine. This kind of work can only be carried out by psychic beings and practitioners who come from all over the world and are extremely familiar with the local situation. With adequate intelligence support, these missions are assigned in such a way that no group or organization is in inexplicable danger. As long as there is no large-scale battle with the Dark Council, this plan tends to save everyone.

What is even more satisfying to everyone is that Wulin generously distributed a large amount of US dollars to various organizations and groups at the same time, so that everyone can enjoy the warmth of the whole body. This large amount of US dollars is naturally allocated by the US treasury, and as for how much heavy economic burden the United States will have to bear in the end for the virus incident, this is not something that Zuo Lin will consider.

"The meeting is over, let's go separately. After assigning the task, Zuo Lin announced the adjournment of the meeting. In fact, Zuo Lin didn't know that even if his assignment of tasks was so fair, it would still cause dissatisfaction among many groups. This time, he is really quite authoritarian. Even after discussion, it is still implemented according to his plan in the end, but some organizations and groups may need that meaningless form of democracy. And this, precisely Zuo Lin, who realized that time was pressing, could not give them.

"Sistine Archbishop, Mr. Constantine, Mr. Clarence, Miss Sadia, please stay for a moment. Zuo Lin reminded him at the right time. When everyone else was gone, Zorin informed them of the apostate he had received from Insula about the presence of renegades within the Dark Council.

"What do you want to do?" Clarence was very open-minded, and perhaps, that was his habit as an American politician.

"Quite simply, I'd like to go and meet with Geofitz. Zuo Lin said.

The Sistine Archbishop groaned for a moment and said, "This is too risky. What if it's false? What if it's Geofitz trying to seduce you?"

"I ask three questions: First, is there any other way to quickly find a way to thwart the Dark Council's efforts to thwart the Dark Council's efforts to spread the virus, other than to interview with Geofitz to get the information?"

The Sistine Archbishop shook his head honestly.

"Second, is there anyone other than me who can gain the trust of Geofitz and decide on the course of action on the fly?"

The Sistine Archbishop was stunned, and after a pause, he shook his head.

Zuo Lin continued, with a distinct unquestionable taste in his tone, and a somewhat helpless teasing snort: "In the end, if Geofitz really laid a trap, who is more sure than me to escape the moment the trap is launched, and insist on fighting until you come to support?"

Zuo Lin's injuries should be considered fully recovered by now, and the fight is not a problem for him. Everyone knows that among these people gathered now, there is no doubt that Zuo Lin is the most powerful warrior in combat, and at the same time he is a commander-in-chief who is level-headed, never impulsive for unnecessary things, and is always thinking. Don't say that he is fully recovered, as long as Zuo Lin retains eighty percent of his peak condition, he is probably the strongest among these people attending the meeting. The characteristics of the plant-based druids who are good at defense and the strong attack power of the animal-based and spell-based druids are organically combined in Zuo Lin's body, and there is indeed no better place to contact those renegades of the Dark Council on behalf of everyone than Zuo Lin.

Although the Sistine Archbishop is not very strong in terms of cultivation, he represents the attitude of the Holy See, and when the Sistine Archbishop nods his head and says that he will do his best to help, the problem is solved.

It's ironic to describe Geofitz as an old-fashioned knightly dreamer, especially in the current situation. In the mushy state of the siege and interception of the Dark Council, as more and more people in the know spread the horrors of the virus around the world and a sense of panic spreads, these renegades may be the last hope to change the situation.

"As always, organize a team of about ten people as a backup, and set off in 2 hours. After my departure, it will be up to you, Your Excellency the Sistine Archbishop, to organize the blockade and encirclement of all forces. Sophocles, a loyal warrior of the Druid Council, will soon come to your aid. Zolin said to the Sistine Archbishop. Putting the Sistine Archbishop in charge of coordination and command was the first to be proposed by Clarence, who was originally worried that the American Federation of Strangers would question the handover of command to Zolin, who was not an American, so he was naturally happy to comply.

Afterwards, Zuo Lin said to Emile: "Emile, you stay. ”

Emile glared at Zuo Lin in surprise, and subconsciously refused: "No, I want to be with you." ”

235. Deep

The others, all of them, very understandingly, leaned sideways and slipped out of the conference room one by one from Emile's side, who was blocking the door, and then graciously closed the door for the two men.

"Emile, I haven't seen our children yet. Stroking Emile's shiny honey-colored hair, Zuo Lin said lovingly.

The softest part of Emile's heart was touched in this way. Emile is a special mother, not only because of her age, but also because she loves her children no less than any other mother in this world, but her attitude towards children is mixed with sober anticipation in spoiling. And Zuo Lin has not seen her child yet, although this is out of Emile's intention, but she is also somewhat guilty of Zuo Lin. When Zolin mentioned the child, Emile couldn't say anything for a while.

"I know you're not afraid of danger, and I know how powerful you are, but ......," Zolin said earnestly, "but it's not a time to take your risk. If possible, I really want to send you back to Shanghai now, to stay with the child, why don't I want to take a good look at the child? But in that case, I can't do these things now, to decide the actions of so many people, and the life and death. ”

"You'll be back safely, won't you?" Emile knew that at this point, it would be useless for him to say anything more, and he could only ask a worried question, which would be a comfort in receiving any answer.

"Geofitz doesn't have the ability to keep me yet. Zuo Lin said proudly.

No one thinks that Zolin is talking big. Although the injury greatly destroyed Zuo Lin's impression of being invincible in the minds of many people, everyone would not underestimate Zuo Lin's strength because of an accident.

Emile still listened to Zuo Lin's persuasion, and after Zuo Lin set off with the team, she took Irina and others to Atlanta, the headquarters of the CDC, where virus cracking and vaccine research and development were being actively carried out. Not only Sun Digui and others, but almost all virologists, infectiologists, and pathologists in the United States and the world are gathered together, and there are many technical representatives from various power groups. The laboratories of the chemical and pharmaceutical groups, which were fighting for each other and looking at each other unpleasantly, have also sent personnel of sufficient level and strength to participate in this collective research.

The combination of virologists from all walks of life has certainly made the research force unprecedented. But at the same time, it has also led to a strange circle that has always emphasized the seniority and academic inheritance between people and researchers, and even used this to determine the hierarchical relationship within the laboratory, and unconsciously wasted a lot of power. Even, when the research team of Sun Digui and the Druid Council arrived, the laboratory director even embarrassedly said that the laboratory was now a little out of control, and the internal quarrel about the nature of the virus and their respective studies on the characteristics of the virus were so inseparable that it was difficult to make room for the researchers who would come in the future to conduct research with peace of mind.

Sun Digui is too lazy to argue about such a problem, anyway, if it drags on, it will be more Americans who will die, and now all countries are strictly guarding against it, and the virus wants to run out of the American continent. It's hard to get out of the U.S. Even Canada has closed its borders. If the American people are still fighting in this kind of place at this juncture, then it is better to toss slowly. Sun even leisurely dragged a few young, scientifically accomplished druids to play chess in the café.

This situation did not change until the arrival of Emile and Irina. Emile didn't bother to talk to the self-righteous guys in academic circles, so she called Insula directly. Knowing about this difficult situation, Insula immediately appointed a senior CDC official, and a grandmaster-level researcher was responsible for suppressing all conditions in the laboratory that were not conducive to the progress of research, which was actually equivalent to putting Emile in charge of the administration of the laboratory on a temporary basis. Although Emile's forcible intervention does not conform to all norms, whether it is the internal norms of the laboratory or the norms of the United States for the confidentiality and personnel qualifications of the CDC, etc., but now Insula has full authority for relevant affairs, and even if necessary, the president will use nuclear weapons on the soil according to Insula's suggestion to completely clean up.

Emile did not disappoint everyone, she first summoned the two scientists who had some disputes with each other at first, but as the antagonism escalated, they could only hide awkwardly and remain silent, and let them directly enter the research team composed of researchers who are completely special power groups, so that they have a higher right to know and confidentiality, and immediately enter the research state. Immediately, Emile directly used force to throw the most noisy guys out of the laboratory, who were very capable of fanning the flames but not so solid in research...... DC's lab has never been so violent, but from this moment on, everyone suddenly realized that the style of the lab needed to change. Emile asked ordinary scientists and researchers from special forces groups to form two research guidance departments, and arranged for several scholars and officials with profound education and good moral reputation to form a coordination group. The two research departments quickly sorted out a series of research projects to study, crack and fight the virus, and listed them into many small projects, while the coordination group was responsible for assigning all the research work to the researchers, so as to avoid the situation of two sides working in silos, some research projects overlapping, and wasting resources. Now, every minute, every turn of the mass spectrometer counts.

Emile, who had no academic background at all, and who quickly extinguished the disharmony in the laboratory with his shallow understanding of management, quickly impressed everyone. Irina, who has been by Emile's side, quickly implemented a series of verbal arrangements, and even ensured that Emile always has a cup of hot tea with a good taste, has proved her excellent ability as a secretary. Although the response to the crisis has only just begun, some officials and lawyers from various pharmaceutical companies, medical groups and other institutions have accompanied those scientists to deal with some legal and patent issues, and many have even started to poach them.

Some of them are crazy bees, waves, butterflies, and playboys, and there is naturally no shortage of people who are attracted to such two extremely strong girls, but after seeing Emile's slender arms, lifting those middle-aged people who weigh hundreds of kilograms no matter how you look at them, it seems effortless to throw them out more than ten meters, and even have a great reservation. Looking at the combat spurs on Emile's belt, which didn't look like they were used as decorations, and at the pistols that Irina took off her suit and exposed her flanks, no one dared to say anything strange. You must know that with the efficiency of Emile's rectification of the laboratory just now and the time he bought for the United States, this merit is enough for Emile to kill all those who dare to make trouble and enjoy legal immunity.

When the research process is institutionally ensured, a variety of results are produced. These results are far from enough to form a holistic view of the virus, or to produce a vaccine that can fight the virus as the end result, but it will allow these experienced virologists and researchers from various groups to have a deep understanding of cadaveric poison grasp. For example, the CDC's laboratory director quietly summoned the core scientists and researchers of the power group, saying that there are some fragments of the virus named "Phoenix" that he is familiar with, and there are similarities with some of the middle of a series of viruses he has studied before, and the types of those viruses are the ones that Insula and Zolin brought back after they led the CDC's special forces in Myanmar a few years ago.

The most shocked by this was the Truth Society's researchers, who did not know what the Truth Society was doing with the viruses, but most of them had operated on those species in their own labs. A cursory glance at the reports and maps shows that this result is not an unwarranted accusation or attack on the Truth Society by people with ulterior motives. The Truth Society's responsibility to the United States and its credibility in this response to the virus immediately became a serious question.

"I would like to ask, is it technically possible to prove that there is indeed a correlation between the 'Phoenix' and those viruses?" Emile asked solemnly.

The director of the laboratory replied with the same seriousness: "There can be no conclusive evidence and verification methods between these, but, with the academic character of one of my senior virus researchers, I guarantee that the likeness is natural or a coincidence between different laboratories is less than 1 in 100,000." ”

Emile immediately announced: "The researchers of the Truth Society have temporarily withdrawn from the project and are under quarantine monitoring. All of their previous projects were reviewed immediately. …… Inform the representative of the Truth Society, contact the President of the Truth Society, or someone who can speak up and be responsible in this matter. Within 2 hours, I want to answer definitively, whether the truth will have anything to do with the research and production of this virus. ”

Emile glanced at the representatives of the Holy See and the Federation of American Strangers, and the two looked at each other and nodded. Emile was waiting for them to make a statement, as long as they also approved Emile's resolution, it meant that they had to take precautions against the Truth Society at the same time, and if the Truth Society did play any role in the spread of the virus, then the Truth Society would also face a large-scale encirclement and suppression. If it doesn't matter, then the Truth Society must give a reasonable explanation for why they studied viruses in the first place, and how the similarity between these viruses and the current "Phoenix" came about.

In any case, everyone smells of intrigue in it.

The representative of the Truth Society is still the Shadia who met Wulin at the Super Carnival Conference, Shadia is obviously not very high in the organization, and she knows limited things, this sudden news made her really busy for a while, half an hour later, Shadia walked out of the confidential communication room specially arranged for her, and said sincerely to everyone: "President Mr. De Niro has already boarded the plane, and in an hour and a half, he will arrive in Atlanta, and he will arrive in Killy." He said he would explain some things to everyone in person...... Something very complicated. ”

On the one hand, she was apprehensive, and on the other hand, she was also a little happy, Sadia knew that after going through this incident, the whole Truth Society could no longer use her as a low-level liaison, and after dealing with the "Phoenix" virus, she would inevitably be promoted to a suitable position after having contact with representatives of various power groups......

De Niro arrived an hour and a half later. Although the president of this Truth Society has always had an open identity as an entrepreneur and philanthropist, and the probability of being exposed in the media is not very low, no one knows what level he has reached as a cultivator. Even, what kind of cultivator he was, no one knew. This is because the Society of Truth itself is an extremely complex organization with all kinds of cultivators, and it is able to be inclusive. Of course, there are special professions such as witches and elementalists that are monopolized by the Truth Society, but more of them are all kinds of different types of cultivators, and the various cultivation types that appeared in Europe in the past, almost one of them can find corresponding cultivators within the Truth Society. The Society of Truth was originally composed of cultivators and supernatural people who had dreams and visions for the New World, but were dissatisfied with the somewhat stale and dogmatic environment in Europe at that time. Among them are not only the more common clergy, magicians, but even a small number of vampires, necromancers, and so on...... There are even zombies. And this is one of the reasons why people choose to doubt the truth society instead of trust them after the news like the one just came out......

However, when everyone saw De Niro, the president of the Society of Truth, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, what happened?

De Niro, the only four-line elemental master in history, actually went to Atlanta in a wheelchair with a thick bandage. The strange scars on his body were a sign that he had just experienced an extremely harsh battle. Although wounded, as the leader of a large and profound power group, De Niro's temperament is still indifferent and grim. He began his process of explaining the ins and outs of the matter with this astonishing remark: "I never imagined that I would be able to suppress a rebellion within the organization in my lifetime. ”
