Chen Zhuo gasped, he had obviously consumed a lot of energy in the battle just now, after all, he was also in his forties, and he was a little out of breath to speak now.

"I said, have you counted the number of people you have evacuated," Chen Zhuo repeated what he had just said, "is there any difference with the number of people in the original residential area, isn't Mecha City sure of the number of people in each area?" ”

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment. "That's not true, after all, there are too many people, and we came here for emergency rescue, and we didn't count their numbers for a while."

Chen Zhuo's brows furrowed suddenly. "Even if it's troublesome."

Bai Qi felt very incomprehensible about Chen Zhuo's sudden words. "What's wrong?"

Chen Zhuo looked at Bai Qi's eyes, his tone seemed very slow, and there was a little hesitation. "I'm not sure, so I asked if you have counted the number of people, I just saw people I used to know in the pile of infected people."

“？？”

"It's a person who lives near the North Police Station in Mecha City, the owner of a small storefront, I have communicated with him a few times before, but just now I saw a face similar to him in the crowd of those infected people."

Bai Qi's face changed slightly. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Chen Zhuo shook his head. "I can't be sure, it's just that at that moment, the infected person turned his face away, and he was already in a state of scuffle, so I'm not completely sure if it's him, and it's possible that I was wrong."

Chen Zhuo's words changed. "But if I'm not mistaken, that's a big problem."

"You mean, the source of this batch of infected people?" Bai Qi immediately understood what Chen Zhuo meant.

Chen Zhuo nodded.

Mecha City, in the central control room.

Qi Zeyue turned off the communicator temporarily.

"It's over," he said, with a long sigh, "the attacks of the infected on the north side of the city have all been assessed, all the infected have been killed, and the people have been successfully evacuated, and everything is basically safe." ”

The representatives of the various countries present also became a little relaxed, after all, there are people from their own countries inside, and knowing the news of safety is always a stone in their hearts.

"But the level of these infected people doesn't seem to be very high." Qi Zeyue felt a little puzzled again.

"Yes, it's basically A-level infected, the proportion of B-level infected people is extremely low, and the highest one is just the infected person who was killed by Bai Qi alone in the end, and the level is only the limit of B-level." Polezhnev was also puzzled by this.

"Although there are a large number of infected people with such a low level, as long as our troops are dispatched in time, it is very easy to deal with them." A-level infected people only stay at the level that can use their mutation ability, which is comparable to the combat effectiveness of ordinary human people, but in the current situation in the world, as long as the relevant stability maintenance organizations of government departments, including police and military organizations, the immediate combat power cultivated is basically much stronger than that of A-level infected people.

"So is there any point in Liu Yu sending these people? In addition to the futile drain on the number of infected people in Asca. ”

"Could it be to test our strength?" This view was made by the representative of the Kingdom of Korea.

"No, if it's to test our strength, then we can send some powerful infected people over, and after some temptation, then retreat, wouldn't it be more effective to achieve our strategic goals?" The representative of Germany questioned this conjecture.

"Have you found out the situation over there Liu Yu?" Qi Zeyue asked the guard beside him who had just sent intelligence information from outside the control room.

"We are still investigating, Liu Yu's camp of infected people about a hundred kilometers north of Mecha City has been locked by us before, but there has been no sign of human activity in the camp recently, and we judge that they are likely to have been transferred."

Qi Zeyue waved his hand. "Go, come and report to me immediately after finding out the situation, mainly to investigate the recent whereabouts of the infected people to whom Qi Zeyue belongs and the transfer of their personnel."

Suddenly, the communicator flashed a red signal light.

Qi Zeyue turned on the communicator to the loud state.

"Director, it's clear that Liu Yu and the other infected people are now rushing to the area of the northern port of Asca, and we judge that their next target may be those mechs that we are staying in the northern port."

"Well," Qi Zeyue was not surprised by Liu Yu's move, "Our fleet has been there for a long time, and it is normal for them to smell the mecha breath there, what about the number, how many people are missing?" ”

"It's all in full force, and it's the same number of people we've been monitoring."

"Huh?" Qi Zeyue suddenly felt that something was wrong, "There is no difference?" Are you sure? ”

"That's right, it's no different from the number of infected people that we've been detecting at the beginning, including in the recent past, and they've been working together all along."

Qi Zeyue frowned. "Good. You continue to be aware of their movements. ”

"No difference? Where did the infected people in the north of the city come from? Could it be that another batch of infected people has been sent over? A permanent member of the committee looked a little shocked.

In fact, he wasn't the only one who was shocked.

"Didn't we have blocked the entire territory of Aszcata before, and everyone who came in or out was completely under our control, including the airspace of Asca, and there were always our planes patrolling 24 hours a day, how did they find an opportunity to bring in a new batch of forces?"

Qi Zeyue lowered his head and pondered, and the sudden change made him a little unable to come back to his senses for a while.

"The main thing is that there are more than one or two infected people, the number of infected people who have been exterminated by us in the north of the city, according to preliminary estimates, there are at least four or five hundred people, such a huge number, if they want to enter the territory of Ascar, especially the territory of Mecha City, it is impossible not to be detected by us, and our vigilance is not so low." It was an official of the Mecha City Competition Committee who was responsible for managing the security of Mecha City.

"If it's just to get in, that's fine." Qi Zeyue's tone was a little hesitant.

"Huh? Director Qi, what do you mean by that? ”

Qi Zeyue didn't seem very sure. "Just a guess on my part."

"These infections, if they are not from outside of Asca, are only likely to have arisen from inside Asca."

Everyone felt a chill in their backs at that moment. The meaning expressed by Qi Zeyue is very tactful, but it is also very clear.

In the interior of Asca, there is no doubt that it refers to Mecha City, although Ascara is an administrative unit under the jurisdiction of the U.S. government, but it is only classified as an underground mineral mining area in the United States, coupled with the bad weather here, so except for a few tourists, before the establishment of Mecha City, basically no one will visit here.

"In Mecha City, there are infected people?"

"To be precise, it was the group of people who were infected." Qi Zeyue said.

"But there has always been a monitoring system for the infected in the mecha city, not to mention the infected people who have mixed in, even if the infected people are gradually approaching the mecha city outside the city, they can also be detected by us, but this batch of infected people seems to have suddenly appeared in the mecha city, and our information about them is extremely delayed."

"Instantaneous mutation."

“！！”

This proper noun is unknown to the representatives of various countries present, and it is a term first proposed by the Chinese scientist Chen Tian after the appearance of the infected person, which refers to the process of replacing the human body after the black body has been dormant in the human body for a long time.

The longer the black body is latent in the human body, the more comprehensive the decoding of the gene lock in the human body, and the faster the comprehensive replacement infection, the fastest is the "instantaneous mutation" that Qi Zeyue now mentioned.

"Then, among the people in the north of the city that we have protected、、、、、、"

Someone only said half of it and didn't continue the sentence.

The situation has become extremely serious.

It goes without saying that in Mecha City, at least in the North City area, there are already a number of potential infected people among the people in that area, although these infected people have been eliminated after mutating, but what about the others? What about the other people evacuated from Beicheng, and what about the 200,000 people in the entire Mecha City? If there are still potential infected people among the remaining people, the consequences will be unimaginable.

There was a great deal of doubt in everyone's minds.

"Don't publicize this matter to the outside world yet." Qi Zeyue's tone was very serious, if this news was spread, then now in the mecha city, an aura of panic and mutual suspicion would completely spread, and then the final result would only be to destroy the city.

"Resettle those evacuated people individually," Qi Zeyue contacted the people in Shangchengbei who are now responsible for the follow-up handling of the infected people, "and let out all the office areas of the police headquarters and all government departments over there, temporarily resettle these people, and strictly grasp the whereabouts and status of these people." ”

He suddenly lowered his voice again.

"Be careful." It's just these three words, and he doesn't explain too much.

"Okay." A calm answer came from the communicator.

Qi Zeyue put the communicator down.

The clouds hanging over Mecha City seemed to be a little more hazy than ever.
