Chapter 708: A Vignette at an Emergency Meeting
That night, multiple slug attacks broke out in Midtown, killing more than 120 people and burning down more than 10 buildings.
Early the next morning, the city hall held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. The Ministry of Environmental Sanitation proposed to set up a special team composed of fifth-level Star Soul late-stage powerhouses to go deep into the underground pipelines and clean up the source of infection piece by piece. This proposal was unanimously agreed by the two consuls.
Bettes, who was supposed to make up for the lack of shelterbelts, was reappointed as the leader of the Einsatzgruppen team, leading 10 strong team members to carry various weapons and equipment into the underground pipes. Song Chanjuan, who was invited to attend the meeting as an expert, took the initiative to apply to join the action team, but was rejected on the spot.
At the same time as the emergency meeting at the town hall, the field footage of the Einsatzgruppen was shown in real time on the big screen.
Song Chanjuan said: "I am puzzled by this outbreak of slugs; As far as I know, there have never been reports of slug infection in the downtown area, and the quarantine of outsiders entering the city is very strict. So how exactly did the slug virus get into Midtown? In particular: how do they get into the critical and weak underground piping system? ”
He Xiaotian asked, "Is Dr. Song suggesting that someone deliberately brought in the slug virus?" ”
"I didn't say that someone deliberately spread it, but it can't be ruled out that it was brought in inadvertently. Perhaps we should take a hard look at the newcomers who have entered the city in recent times. ”
Chu Yanjiao said suddenly: "What does Doctor Song mean is that my Ministry of Public Security is derelict in its duties?" ”
"I didn't mean that, I just came out of caution."
"Please Minister Chu don't get excited, what Dr. Song said is very reasonable, you can show the information of the people entering the country in the last two weeks now." He Xiaotian ordered.
Chu Yanjiao immediately dialed her subordinates with a communicator, and quickly displayed the entry information on the big screen, and everyone stared at the big screen one by one.
"There are two people who are the most suspicious." Song Chanjuan said: "Xu Feihu and Robin." Especially Robin, who claims to be from Shencheng. Shencheng is an area with frequent slug viruses. ”
"If it's really Robin who carries the slug virus, then why didn't he show any abnormalities when he was tested?" Chu Yanjiao undoubtedly had to defend her subordinate department.
"Maybe he's hiding the slugs in a very secret place, and you don't even know about it." Minister of Culture and Propaganda interjected lukewarmly.
"Minister Chu, you call the staff who conducted the entry inspection for Robin and Xu Feihu now, and we will inquire in person, and remind them to bring all the inspection materials at that time."
"Understood!"
Soon, Wang Xiaoya, the director of the immigration department, and two staff members, a man and a woman, were brought in.
"Tell me, did you find anything unusual when you examined Robin? Tell me the truth, or else I will pay tribute to the dead who have been killed by slugs! He Xiaotian grimaced.
"I remember!" The female staff member said: "When I did the first blood test for Robin, the instrument said that there were more than a dozen top-level pathogens, but when I checked it again, it was gone. ”
"Oh?" He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun glanced at each other. "Why is this happening?"
"I don't know. Sometimes, to be on the safe side, we have to do two blood tests, whichever is the last one. ”
He Xiaotian asked a guard next to him: "Can anyone hide more than a dozen top-level pathogens in their blood and be safe?" ”
"If it's a sixth-level star soul person, maybe it's possible." The guard wasn't too sure, "Sixth-level plus Star Soul Masters are no longer mortals, they should have many abilities that we can't even imagine. ”
"But the result of this Robin's Star Soul Strength Test is only level four." Chu Yanjiao refuted.
"If Robin really has to be a sixth-level enhancer, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to disguise himself as a fourth-level strengthener?" The guard replied unceremoniously.
"So this so-called brainless madman Robin is actually a scheming saboteur who came to Midtown at the risk of carrying the slug virus?" Huo Qiankun asked, "Then what is his motive?" What is the purpose of this? What are the benefits for him personally? You know, Robin claims to be from the Dreadnought team. If what he said was true, how could the Dreadnought do such a thing that exterminated others and harmed others and themselves? ”
He Xiaotian said: "Let's not be busy with this matter and the Dreadnought team now. One thing is certain: Robin is a key figure in the midtown slug crisis. The top priority is to find Robin as soon as possible and ask the ins and outs of the situation, and maybe find some effective way to deal with it. ”
"As far as I know, Robin went out of the city with Minister Wang's search and rescue team." Minister Wenxuan said: "Dear Minister Wang, should you be responsible for this?" ”
"This ......." Wang Chengba scolded the Minister of Culture and Propaganda in his heart, and said: "The two consuls, their subordinates are willing to personally lead a team to search for Robin and others outside the city. ”
"No need, you have a minister who runs out to find someone, who will manage the affairs of the department and system? Your animal husbandry department has not yet received reports of slug attacks, so you need to be more careful and hold this position! Huo Qiankun ordered.
"Subordinates obey orders and resolutely complete the task!" In fact, Wang Chengba didn't want to go out of the city at all in his heart, and now he is happy to borrow the slope to unload the donkey.

At this point, the Einsatzgruppen encountered a large colony of mutant rats. They showed their magic powers, and cleanly annihilated hundreds of huge mutant rats.
"Report to Command, a source of infection has been identified." Betters in the picture said loudly in proficient Chinese.
Everyone in the conference room was fascinated.
"That's what it looks like." Huo Qiankun smiled with satisfaction. He Xiaotian also nodded frequently.
The Einsatzgruppen continues to explore the deep underground tunnels.
Wang Chengba asked the Minister of Sanitation sitting next to him in a low voice: "Brother, do you want to gamble?" ”
"Bet on what?" The Minister of Sanitation is also a well-known "gambling enthusiast".
Wang Chengba's mouth turned to the big screen: "We bet on the number of mutant rats killed by the special operations team." ”
"What's the gambling method? It's too hard to guess the exact number, right? ”
"We don't have to guess the numbers, we just guess the range."
"No problem, what to bet on?"
"You still see that demigod mecha in my villa, right?"
"Hah! You are so generous, I will take the King Kong Arhat in my villa. ”
"It's refreshing. I'm betting that the next batch of the Einsatzgruppen will kill no less than 500 mutant rats. ”
"I'll go! You're too confident, aren't you? "The Minister of Sanitation could hardly believe his ears," said the husband, who was hard to follow. This kind of win-winning gamble is simply intolerable. ”
"Okay, we'll see!"
The two ministers glued to the big screen with extraordinary enthusiasm and attention, lest they miss a single frame.
A few minutes later, the Einsatzgruppen encountered the mutant swarm again. After a fierce battle, where the camera sweeps, there are corpses of mutant rats everywhere, not 1,000, 800 must be indispensable.
Wang Chengba proudly stretched out his fat hand to the Minister of Sanitation: "Hurry up and take it!" ”
"Damn, I didn't read the yellow calendar when I went out today, so I shouldn't gamble." The Minister of Environmental Sanitation was indignant and reluctantly secretly handed over a key symbolizing the authority of the mecha to Wang Chengba.
"What is it that the two ministers are discussing so hotly?" He Xiaotian suddenly asked them.
The Minister of Sanitation immediately responded: "Minister Wang said that he was going to donate his demigod mecha to kill the slug virus. ”
"Really? Minister Wang really took the overall situation into account and gave generously. He Xiaotian exclaimed: "We need enthusiastic citizens like you in Midtown."
Wang Chengba hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself, and Huo Qiankun also began to praise him: "Xiao Wang really didn't see it, at least he was very enthusiastic at the critical moment. ”
Wang Chengba gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his flesh, and made a very honorable appearance, "Thank you for the praise of the two consuls, it is not only our duty and obligation to do a little bit for Zhongcheng, but also our honor." To tell you the truth, just now, the Minister of Sanitation was still vying to donate money with me. He said he was going to dedicate his villa to the Midtown government as an office space. ”
"Well done!" He Xiaotian smiled and applauded loudly, "Mr. Huo and I both believe that with enthusiastic citizens like you, Zhongcheng will definitely be able to survive this difficulty!" ”
The Minister of Sanitation laughed on the surface, but his right heel stepped vigorously on Wang Chengba's toes.
