"You mean the sun doesn't work either?"

Xia Ren asked subconsciously.

Lily pouted, "Hmm." ”

"It's over."

Xia Ren patted his forehead: "There is another one running outside." ”

He opened the door and saw Captain John's fat body waiting anxiously outside the door, and the screams of residents could be heard from the rest of the apartment.

The residents were at home when a loud bang suddenly sounded, and then the whole building trembled, and they fled in panic thinking that there had been an earthquake or an explosion.

The logistics team that had planned to evacuate the residents came in handy to try to maintain order and guide the crowd to a safe location outside.

Seeing that Xia Ren and they were safe and sound, although John had already guessed the result, he still asked a little nervously, "Is it solved?" ”

As the head of the logistics unit, John usually needs to do more to test for contamination in the management area, or collect the information required by the Foundation, deal with the weaker class of infections, and provide logistical support for investigators.

Most of the logistics captains had never even seen aberrations during their tenure, and the appearance of such monsters was a relatively rare emergency for him.

"There's good news."

Natsuhito stepped out of the way so that John could see the ball in the bathroom.

"That monster has been controlled just now, and it can't run out for the time being."

"That's good."

John wiped the sweat from his head and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Good news?

He looked at Xia Ren, swallowed his saliva, and asked tentatively, "There won't be any bad news, right?" ”

Xia Ren sighed: "There are four pieces of bad news. ”

John's heart twitched a few times, and he almost didn't catch his breath.

Xia Ren said quickly: "First, this monster can't be killed, and neither can the sunshine;

Second, the ball wasn't all wrapped around the monster, some of it had escaped along the drain, and you had to block all the underground pipes in the vicinity immediately;

Third, this monster may not be the only one, because sunlight can't kill them, I suspect Thomas. Jones did not die, but fled from the square;

Fourth, I suspect that monsters possess the ability to infect and assimilate ordinary people, and it is possible that Jack, the owner of this room, has been assimilated by other similar monsters to what he is now, which means that there may be more than one or two such monsters in other parts of the city. ”

When he heard the first bad news, John didn't feel the crisis, although there were not many monsters that could not be killed, but he saw a lot, most of the containment items could not be destroyed, and some of the containment objects were essentially no different from monsters.

But when he heard the second bad news, John immediately had the instinct to tell his men to respond immediately, but he still resisted the intention of listening to the remaining two bad news.

When he heard the third, cold sweat broke out again on John's forehead, which had just been wiped clean.

Finally, after listening to the fourth, John already felt that his head was about to swell, and it was difficult to even keep standing, and countless thoughts quickly passed through his mind, and finally converged into three words: it's over.

Although ordinary monsters are terrifying, John is not so worried, because no matter how strong the lethality is, the Foundation has more powerful force to destroy them, but the monsters that can pollute and assimilate ordinary people are different, although the lethality of this monster is not high, but the harm it brings to human society will be fatal.

Consider the atypical insect phobia that is causing the Foundation a lot of trouble today, and you can understand how terrible transitive contamination really is.

"Immediately."

John grabbed the hand of one of the logistics team members: "As he said, immediately cordon off the nearby area and temporarily stop the water supply for all residents." ”

The subordinate was a little puzzled: "But...... We're a little understaffed right now, and our colleagues are still ......."

John lowered his head and thought for two seconds, and said with some difficulty: "First transfer a part of the personnel to control the plague, and at the same time report to the upper authorities the situation we are facing now, ask for support, and hurry up." ”

It was only after the man turned and ran downstairs that John collapsed and leaned against the corridor railing, praying, "God, there must be a false alarm." ”

Controlling the spread of atypical insect phobia was enough of a headache, and he didn't want to have to face the endless ooze monsters on the streets in a few days with his combat suit and weapons in hand.

"Do you still believe in God?"

Xia Ren asked curiously.

Although most of the churches in Essera City have been preserved due to historical reasons, and almost all the citizens have faith due to the atmosphere of the city, John is the head of the logistics army after all, and it should be difficult for him to have a good impression of those so-called gods after knowing the truth about the pollution.

John smiled bitterly: "It's not a belief, it's just a mantra, and if you get used to it, you can't change it." ”

"Do you have airtight containers?"

Xia Ren asked, glancing back at the ball in the bathroom, "It's not a way to do it all the time, I hope you can dig into it and see if you can find its weaknesses." ”

And the ball itself is part of Lily's tissue after all, the little guy can't eat anything good with him, it's not easy to grow his body, and he can recycle it.

"There is a container specially sealed to store contaminants, so I will send it to the contact person as soon as possible."

John immediately pulled out his cell phone to contact.

When he just entered the apartment, the logistics team member who was entrusted by Xia Ren to investigate Jack's whereabouts walked into the corridor and said in a reporting tone: "Through various methods, I have roughly sorted out which places Jack has been to in the past two days and who he has been in contact with, but because the time is relatively short, it is still a little imperfect, and there may be omissions." ”

He handed over a tablet with a map with different colored lines for different time periods, and notes on each stop, explaining where Jack had gone, and who he had come into contact with, and whether their identities were suspicious.

Xia Ren took a cursory glance and was a little surprised.

To be able to sort out complex information so perfectly in such a short period of time, this person is a talent.

"Here, projector."

The logistics team member handed over a thumb-sized thing, after inserting it on the tablet, the picture in the screen was projected onto the wall next to it, although it was daytime now, but the picture projected by this projector was extremely clear, the original rough wall seemed to have become a smooth mirror, and he even felt that the picture after projection was clearer than on the flat screen.

Xia Ren had never seen this kind of technology on the market, so he thought it should be a black technology within the Foundation, or something researched by the Superman Association.

He still remembered that those guys were ruthless people who could use rockets to transport goods, and anyone who saw a large iron bump with tail flames falling from his head would be impressed.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the projected screen.
