Chapter 76: The Stage
"Warning! If you find a source of spiritual pollution, please pay attention to the change in hue value!"
"Warning! The current level of mental pollution is judged to be serious, and a second mental sedation will be performed!"
......
In the command room of the community hospital, the prompt sound of the spiritual protection device became the only sound in the room.
The high-level officials of the epidemic prevention station and the security department in charge of this operation looked at the two groups of soldiers on the screen who were swallowed by the black and purple wave without even a decent resistance, and were speechless for a while.
At the back of the crowd, Rona wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his right hand crossed to his chest, his eyes avoiding the screen, and the mobile phone camera hidden in the cuff was facing the position of the screen, faithfully performing his duty.
Mr. Lecter had mentioned in a previous conversation the terrorist operation that the Ouroboros was going to unleash in the low-level communities, and Rona knew this, and he didn't imagine a serious situation that might happen, but he never imagined that it would be such a scenario!
"It's caused by an epidemic...... What disease can create such a catastrophic environment in a community?"
The middle-aged officer wearing the uniform of the colonel of the garrison department turned to the team of the epidemic prevention station with an extremely ugly face, and it was not difficult to understand the difficulty between the words.
You must know that the people who died like ants on the screen are the elite soldiers trained by the Security Department with a lot of resources, and the last time in the steel mill because of the sudden disconnection of the network, he can understand the heavy casualties, after all, the incident happened suddenly, but this time they are fully prepared!
As a result, there were still a large number of casualties, which he could not accept.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that he cares much about the lives of those people, but that while the soldiers are swallowed up by that disgusting "wave", he can even imagine himself being summoned by the Internal Investigation Department of the Security Department.
This will be a huge blow to his future promotion plans!
"Why are you so surprised, aren't the previous signs enough to make you realize the problem?"
Compared with the annoyance of the colonel of the garrison, Lawrence did not have much panic on his face, and in the face of the former's cross-examination, he just asked back and walked to the screen, turned to face everyone in the room, raised his hand and pointed to the screen,
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt that what we are seeing now is the true purpose of the Ouroboros in the low-level communities, the epidemic is just one part of their plan, and we, or the Thousand Sails City, have only just begun their fight against the Ouroboros!"
Lawrence's words caused the already sluggish atmosphere in the command to drop directly to the freezing point, and the two blows before and after made many people lose their self-confidence.
Rona could see very clearly that nearly half of the people in the entire command room had lowered their heads.
Maybe it's suppressed first and then raised?
The usual means of motivating morale should be "Yang" next.
Rona thought.
"Why are you bowing your heads?"
Looking around at the people around him, Lawrence suddenly asked,
"The other side is only occupying three blocks now, creating a seemingly terrifying area, does that make you despair?"
"Have you not discovered that this is a battle that has long been predestined, and the balance of victory has completely tipped on our side from the beginning, and all we need to think about is how to win!"
"Behind us stands the world's first-class megacity with a population of more than 20 million!"
"What is lost now is only a few combat squads, if it weren't for the consideration of public opinion, we could mobilize thousands of soldiers and various heavy weapons into the low-level communities at any time, and completely crush the Ouroboros organization!"
"It seems to me that you should be thinking about how you can get enough credit for this struggle to stand on the 'podium' after the victory and receive more cheers, instead of putting on a desperate look here!"
In just a few words, the effect is immediate.
Even Ronner, an old fritter who has been in the system for decades, wants to applaud Lawrence's speech of changing the concept.
He shifted everyone's attention from the horrific sight on the screen directly to the fame and fortune after the victory.
Fight panic with desire.
It turns out.
This method has not worked!
Although the people who had fallen into a slump did not shout excitedly, the depressed expression on their faces was significantly improved, and even the faces of the officers of the garrison department improved, and they couldn't help but have a little more expectation in their eyes when they looked at Lawrence, a young man.
Looking around, Lawrence made eye contact with everyone who looked at him, and before he knew it, the young man from the Holy City's epidemic prevention center who had come to support him temporarily held the control of the command room in his hands.
Hook the corners of your mouth, raise your hand and make a gesture on your chest that no one has ever seen.
I don't know if it's an illusion, standing at the back of the crowd, because of his special identity, and Rona who has been in a state of observance, accidentally found that the surface of the strangely shaped pendant on Lenna's chest seemed to be flickering.
After the morale was boosted, the next step was naturally the formal assignment, and Lawrence was unsurprisingly the only voice in the command room.
Ronna, the person who parachuted in, seems to be completely forgotten in this environment, and he is also happy to be a transparent person, after all, as an inner ghost, the best state is like this.
The phone in his cuff suddenly vibrated at this moment, and Rona took two steps to the side, hiding the phone in the palm of his hand to check the information pushed on the screen, as early as a few minutes ago, he had already informed Mr. Lecter of the anomaly in the community of 37 through the mobile phone message.
(Are you still in a community hospital?)
This is the latest information.
(Yes, the Thousand Sails City government has suffered heavy losses in the anomalous area I just mentioned, and I have filmed some of the video, how can I pass it on to you?)
Tapping the keyboard with his thumb, it took more than ten seconds to send the message without anyone noticing.
(Can I get out now, I want to watch that video!)
Because there is no network, and the mobile phone message cannot be sent directly, Zhu Jue, who has returned to the community hospital with Gu Yinxing, is eager to know the situation.
(It should work.) )
Ron looked at the people in front of him who were discussing their next plan of action, found the one closest to him, told him that he was going out to the bathroom, and then walked away quickly.
The place where the two met was the outer street where they met yesterday.
Rona simply told him about his transaction with the deputy director of the epidemic prevention center, while Zhu Jue watched the video taken in his mobile phone on the side.
Because it was a secret shooting, Rona covered it up from time to time in order not to be discovered, so there was still a lot of black screen in the middle of the video for a few minutes, but this did not prevent Zhu Jue from roughly confirming some of the situation.
"Hah! That's a good shooting scene!"
After watching the entire video, Zhu Jue raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself.
He had long expected the Ouroboros to make a big move, and had been waiting for them to act, and what had happened in Community 37 had undoubtedly proved his guess right.
Ouroboros couldn't wait for the next move, and that was exactly what he had been waiting for.
He can't say what the scene is in the picture for the time being, but as long as the detailed location is determined, he will naturally have a way to figure it out next.
"What did you say?"
Rona next to him was full of doubts.
"Nothing, is there any other important information?"
casually snorted and shifted the conversation to something else.
"Other information ......"
After a little thought, the situation in the command post just now involuntarily appeared in my mind,
"There is one thing that is very strange, this operation is an important operation jointly carried out by the epidemic prevention station and the security department, but the top commander I saw in the command room just now is a young man from the Holy City Epidemic Prevention Center, I heard them say that it seems that they have joined in temporarily, and they have a lot to do with the director of the Thousand Sails City Epidemic Prevention Center and the deputy director of Newcastle. ”
"Holy City Epidemic Prevention Center, what is that young man's name?"
"Lawrence. ”
Lawrence...... I know, you go back first, so as not to be suspected by them, help me pay attention to the actions of the Thousand Sails City government, and tell me immediately if there is anything new. ”
Repeating the name that Rona said, Zhu Jue didn't stay with Rona much, handed him back the phone, and asked him to go back quickly.
Waiting for Rona to leave, on the other side of the outer street, Su Zi and Gu Yinxing walked up quickly with an umbrella.
"Ouroboros on the move?"
Suzi noticed the excited look on Zhu Jue's face and asked bluntly.
"That's right, those guys did it anyway, in Community 37. ”
Tapping the railing on his side, shaking most of the snow on it down, Zhu Jue looked at Suzi, pursed his lips and continued,
"You can't continue to stay in the bottom community, your ability can't be used here at all, find a chance to go back to a place with an Internet to sort out the video I just handed over to you, send it out as soon as possible, I'll give you the account and password on the cloud map of the Grotesque Studio later, since the Ouroboros organization has a connection with "Zero", it will definitely deal with me, the person who couldn't kill me five years ago, and now comes back to trouble them...... I'm going to see how long those bastards can hide in the rat hole!"
Zhu Jue's purpose in coming to Thousand Sails City was never just for the Ouroboros organization.
Just as the bone tree case created by Gu Yinxing is to the Ouroboros organization, the latter is, to a certain extent, just a protective layer used by "Zero" to cover its actions.
Zhu Jue can't go past the Ouroboros organization to investigate "Zero" for the time being, so he will do the opposite.
Let "Zero" take the initiative to come to him!
