192 Subsequent disasters
Yesterday's death of the first six people to board the floating crane is not the end of the thousand-year-old hanging coffin incident, but something even more terrible has happened.
The wind and grass in the cultivation world will receive official attention, and when tracing the thousand-year-old hanging coffin, a large number of official forces were mobilized to assist, so its dynamics have always been grasped by the upper echelons, and not only those people on the scene know.
Not long after Lin Kai finished sending Ling back to the hotel, he received a call from Qi, the director of the supernatural group. Ren Qi told him that the thousand-year-old hanging coffin had an accident again. On the way back to Wuxia, Zhong and Yue disappeared inexplicably, and the yacht was only found stranded in a remote corner of a tributary last night, and there was no coffin on board.
If that's all there is to it, you can also suspect that Zhong and Yue were guarding and taking away the thousand-year-old hanging coffin. The problem is that more than 100 people in a nearby mountain village are collectively diseased, and corpse spots appear all over their bodies, which is like a discoloration of the apocalypse, which is by no means a simple matter.
In addition to the original villagers, more than 30 people had been infected by entering the village. But the strange thing is that after the people inside come out, they will not be able to come into contact with them, so it is concluded that this problem is not contagious in the outside world, and the root cause of the problem is attributed to the sudden change in the environment. Now, all the people of that village have been evacuated, and the village is locked down and isolated, like a dead land.
Lin Kai calculated the time, the thousand-year-old hanging coffin was taken away overnight the night before, and it went upstream, and it should have reached the river section near that village yesterday morning. In one day, more than 100 people in the village were diseased, and the disaster was menacing.
The affected person is being treated, but with minimal effect, and the local hospital is helpless against this strange disease, and can only generally believe that it is a rare virus.
"Special Department" (see clearly, it's not Xbuha), which is the name of the special department where the group of Lingfang people are currently located, echoes the folk "Special Association". This special department, which was canceled decades ago and has just been re-established, is currently temporarily headed by Ren Qi, and they have received the first formal task, which will intervene in the follow-up and handling of the thousand-year-old hanging coffin incident, and take the opportunity to increase their knowledge and accumulate experience.
Ren Qi contacted Lin Kai and asked him and Su Xiaoyue to help the town.
I really look up to him! Lin Kai sighed, and he was not afraid that these people would be secretly killed.
After Lin Kai and Su Xiaoyue had breakfast, they also seconded a car from the local police through Ren Qi's negotiation to send them out of Jiangcheng and rushed to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River on the highway.
Ren Qi is now in public office and has an official official status, but Lin Kai and Su Xiaoyue are not in such a state of dissociation for the time being.
After driving for more than five hours, it entered the southwest of Hubei Province. When the two of them came to the outside of the village, Ren Qi and the others had already arrived more than an hour earlier than them. In addition to Bai Sha and Lao Zhuang, even the ghost attendant and other others also came.
"You don't have to go to school?" Lin Kai looked at the ghost sister and the happy ghost and asked. Shen Yan, a woman who has nothing to do, makes sense, these little ghosts are obviously still students.
"Work is public, school is private, we naturally have to distinguish between public and private!" The ghost waiter obviously had a messy head and tail, and he had to wear a pair of sunglasses to put on a cool face, which made Lin Kai look like he wanted to beat him.
"I think you don't change your life, and you still treat this kind of thing as a joke like before, right?" Lin Kai frowned a little as he spoke, feeling that they were too nonsense. This incident is not trivial, it is too dangerous, and he has no bottom in his heart. Seeing the ghost sister standing next to the ghost waiter intentionally or unintentionally, his heart moved, and he understood that this little girl should like the ghost waiter.
Ren Qi habitually smiled and said: "Their participation in the action was agreed by the above, and their parents are not worried, so why do you have to worry so much!" ”
"Uh-huh, we need to grind!" The happy ghost also nodded violently.
Lin Kai looked at the fierce ghosts and blue and white porcelain and the others, and saw that they all said that this was the case, so he didn't bother to say more.
The village is relatively isolated and remote, not far from a large river, backed by rolling hills and low mountains, and there are only two roads in and out, one leading to the river and the other by land to the outside world, which are blocked by the local police.
They are now located on a blockade about a kilometre outside the village, where three special police vehicles are directly blocking the road. There were also four small cars parked next to it, which Ren Qi used his current identity to call from the local area.
The police car that sent Lin Kai and Su Xiaoyue from Jiangcheng back, and the local captain who was responsible for sealing off the village came over to introduce the latest situation to Lin Kai when Lin Kai asked about the current situation. Originally, this information had been told to Ren Qi before, but now that Ren Qi didn't say it, he had to repeat it again.
The villagers, the staff who were unfortunately infected when they came to the village, and some medical workers were concentrated in the county people's hospital, 20 kilometers away, and the local government has mobilized medical resources from surrounding counties and cities to support, but the deterioration is still uncontrollable. According to the internal information desk in real time, more than a dozen people have died.
Since the morning, there have been rumors around, some say it is a plague, and some people say that there is an outbreak of the zombie virus, advocating the end of the world, causing a certain amount of panic.
Regarding these rumors, Lin Kai had already seen relevant posts when he was specifically searching for the situation here on the way here, and there were pictures and truths, which was really scary. But what Lin Kai is most concerned about is whether the people from the special association have arrived.
The captain said, "There were two waves in the morning, and another wave in the afternoon, and there were more than a dozen people, all inside!" ”
He was in a complicated mood, and the people who went in without protective equipment were all infected, and these people who were said to be strange people didn't listen to the advice and went in directly without protection. When they come out, maybe another batch will be transported to the "concentration camps" in the county seats.
"Didn't they have anyone to help manage the outbreak?" Lin Kai asked. If he can still look at the deaths of a few people normally, it is difficult for him to ignore the lives and deaths of these hundreds or two hundred.
"I went to the two old people's homes, and they are still over there, saying that they are infected with corpses, which is very tricky. We don't understand the specifics, but we haven't received a death report for an hour, and I heard that it's the credit of their action. ”
Lin Kai glanced along the road to the village, the hilly terrain here was beautiful, but the village was shrouded in a palpitating dead air. He turned back to Ren Qi and said, "I'll go to the county seat to see those people first, do you want to go?" ”
Without waiting for Ren Qi to answer, the ghost attendant rushed to say, "Of course we are acting together!" ”
Ren Qi nodded, and the thirteen people boarded four cars and rushed to the county seat.
As soon as they left, the captain received a real-time report from the internal information station that the infected people concentrated on the county side began to die in a large area.
