Chapter 214: Biological Riot
"The scale of more than 3,000 people?!"
After seeing the number sent by Chen Yu, Meng Lei's eyelids jumped, and he was secretly shocked in his heart.
When I left Sil City half a month ago, the number of members counted by the fleet at that time was only more than a thousand people.
Now, more than ten days have passed, and instead of losing personnel, they have more than doubled!
You must know that the total number of players who finally arrived in Sil City at the beginning of the 66671 Channel was only forty or fifty thousand in total.
Later, for various reasons, it plummeted by almost a third.
It is equivalent to saying that the final fixed number of Blue Star players in Sir City is probably only about 30,000 people.
If the data given by Chen Yu is not watery, this means that one-tenth of the population of the Blue Star in the entire 66671 Channel has now joined the Chongming fleet!
Don't look at the number of tenths, but that's actually quite a lot.
The small groups of players who had survived the first half of the training process in order to break through the last barrier were disbanded one after another after arriving in Sil City.
Even the major fleets, led by the Heavy Fleet, had their internal structures falling apart.
The number of members of the group, as a percentage of the overall players, has reached an extremely exaggerated trough.
It is simply incredible that the Chongming fleet was able to rebuild such a huge scale in such a short period of time!
However, the outbreak of space tides and the consequences of large-scale smuggling incidents have made the lone wolf aware of the threat from all sides, and to some extent, it has also promoted the unity of the Blue Star player community.
In the final analysis, Chen Yu's role in the development of the fleet is really indispensable.
"Thank you, Brother Chen!"
Meng Lei greeted Chen Yu and expressed his heartfelt recognition and gratitude.
After a pause, his fingertips quickly swiped across the screen, and Meng Lei then said:
"My side will deal with the matter at hand as soon as possible, choose a suitable time to return, no matter what difficulties there are in terms of funds, don't worry too much in the future, just tell me directly, I will go all out to help!"
The existence of gold finger is the strongest cheat in the gambling activity!
In the future, no matter how you go to any outpost or gathering place, you can quickly fish for it in the shortest time, as long as it is not particularly excessive, it will hardly attract the attention of outsiders.
This kind of money-making method of making money with a small amount of money is incomparable to any other form.
In the future, he didn't even have to do business, and he kept gambling between the major shipping lanes, which provided a steady stream of funds for the development of the fleet.
Even, if he is not afraid of worrying about exposing the existence of the golden finger, he can also arrange a group of henchmen to wander among the gambling houses in major gathering places, and then remotely control them through the micro camera, and earn countless gambling funds without leaving home!
Such a plan, Meng Lei has indeed seriously considered, and there is great feasibility.
Therefore, he can now make bold promises to Chen Yu, and he no longer has to worry about the development funds of the fleet.
After a while, the mobile phone screen lit up, and Chen Yu quickly sent a reply.
"With this infusion of money, you hardly need to invest too much money in a short period of time, you take care of yourself outside and don't take risks and take shortcuts in order to make money.
Now that the development of the fleet is on the right track, many things in the next step only need time to brew, and you have to put safety first! ”
Looking at the concerned words on the screen, the corners of Meng Lei's mouth involuntarily hooked upward.
He touched the screen lightly, and he didn't have too much hypocrisy, just replied simply:
"Roger! Brother Chen, you should also pay attention to rest, don't overwork, and communicate in time if you have something! ”
"Good!"
Chen Yu's reply is also extremely simple, neither of them is good at expressing it, and all the concerns are usually those few repetitive words.
Although it seems a little simple and perfunctory, it is sincere and heartwarming.
After ending the communication with Chen Yu, he lingered in the house for a while, and went upstairs to see the status of Kevin the clown.
Ever since this guy had been stimulated to delirium and mania, he seemed to have gone completely insane, struggling hysterically, full of malice and hideousness between his words and demeanor.
However, this state did not last long, and the sequelae of the high degree of nervous and physiological hyperactivity were the intense weakness that followed.
Meng Lei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that he had finally become honest.
Due to the lack of understanding of the supernatural ability of psionic energy, although Kevin was seriously injured and was still tortured and dying, Meng Lei was always worried that the other party would come up with some new tricks.
However, it seems that there should be certain restrictions or requirements for the use of psionic energy, and it cannot continue to operate for a long time.
Otherwise, Kevin would not have been tortured by himself for so long in vain, and he didn't even have the ability to resist at all, just like an ordinary person.
This made Meng Lei feel a lot more at ease.
"Pedal ......"
Roger didn't know why, and after a long time, there was no latest news.
Meng Lei returned to the hall from upstairs and was about to send a message to ask about the situation.
At this moment, in the corridor outside Apartment 402, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.
Moments later, the doorbell rang.
Meng Lei casually put the tablet on the table, stepped forward quickly, and opened the door.
"Commander, fortunately, I found you!"
In the dim light outside the door, what caught my eye was Zhu Fei's familiar face, who was wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead at the moment, respectfully reporting to Meng Lei.
Standing next to him was Serge, who had just gone out at the same time, also panting, obviously the two of them were in a hurry and ran all the way back.
And behind them, near the door of apartment 401, there are two other figures, one high and one low.
These two people are the two security officers who took the advantage and let Meng Lei and his party smuggle into the city.
Seeing this, Meng Lei raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Zhu Fei's work efficiency to be so high.
I thought it would be very troublesome to find someone at this point in time, but it didn't take too long, and Zhu Fei actually invited these two guys over, which was really a bit surprising.
"Friend, I didn't expect us to meet again!"
The middle-aged security officer at the head, with an undisguised smile on his face, stepped forward and shook Meng Lei's hand vigorously.
It can be seen from his bulging pockets that a lot of the stack of cash that Zhu Fei took to spot just now was put into his pocket, and it is no wonder that the other party was so enthusiastic when he visited the door in the middle of the night.
"Hello, I'm really sorry to trouble the two of you to run in person at such a late hour."
Meng Lei said politely, and at the same time said hello to the other person, so as not to make him feel left out.
"Yes, helping you is also helping ourselves, everyone is an old friend, you're welcome."
The middle-aged security officer waved his hand aggressively, looking very familiar, as if he had been friends with Meng Lei and others for many years.
I don't know if it's money that plays a role, or if this guy really regards Meng Lei as a friend.
In this regard, Meng Lei did not think too deeply.
"Okay, let's not say polite words for now, it's important to get down to business."
The middle-aged security officer withdrew his gaze from Meng Lei and immediately looked at the upper floor of apartment 402.
The faint moaning sound, like the last words of a dying man, was hard not to attract attention.
"On the way here just now, this friend has already told us the general situation, I heard that you caught a member of the Clown Order?"
"That's right!"
Meng Lei nodded lightly and said affirmatively: "That guy is wearing a clown costume and has the clown's iconic toy horn on his body, and he is definitely a member of the clown organization!" ”
"Damn, this group of hateful guys actually appeared in Modo City, and that's really not a good sign!"
Hearing this, the middle-aged security officer cursed in frustration, looking very irritable.
Obviously, I don't have a good feeling for this group of notorious madmen.
"But ......"
After a pause, the middle-aged security officer changed his words, looked at Meng Lei with a new face, and said approvingly:
"These goddamn clowns are slippery like mud algae eels, and very few people can hunt them down in the city, and you can catch him, that's pretty awesome!"
The middle-aged security officer's tone was serious, and this sentence did not carry any flavor of flattery, and seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.
Meng Lei was a little puzzled, and subconsciously asked casually:
"Why, listen to you, if it's not in the city, it's relatively easy to capture them? What is the reasoning behind this? ”
The middle-aged security officer shrugged his shoulders and explained:
"Since the Coalition decided to crack down on the Clowns, these lunatics have rarely been seen in the Gathering Place, and most of the time, they are usually found in transports or bounty fleets between the waterways.
And even if someone finds them in the gathering place, they will disappear inexplicably before our security personnel arrive, and there is no trace of them at all.
Therefore, it is very rare to catch them in the city, and the odds of winning the jackpot are about the same! ”
Hearing this, Meng Lei suddenly felt a little familiar,
When I think about it, I realize that Hans seems to have said something similar before.
At that time, he was first introduced to the Joker, and he had just caught Eugene, and he didn't know enough about the Joker, so he was very curious about the situation mentioned by Hans.
But now that he thought about it, he suddenly had a bold guess.
The reason why the city's security officers are always unable to track down the clown members is most likely because before they arrived at the scene, the clown used psionic energy to warp the space and escaped in a way similar to a wormhole.
Just like the situation that Meng Lei and the others encountered just now, if they hadn't injured Kevin with a harpoon in time, the other party might have completed the crossing a long time ago, and they didn't know where to go.
It is a fantasy for these ordinary mortal security officers to catch a clown member who controls psionic powers.
"Where are the people now? Is it already under control? ”
A rough voice came, interrupting Meng Lei's thoughts.
The middle-aged security officer stood in the doorway, looking towards the place where the moaning sound sounded from the upper floor, with a hint of vigilance and excitement on his face.
Being able to capture a living member of the Clown Order is undoubtedly a huge achievement for him.
The other party actually gave up this benefit to himself, this is like pie falling from the sky, how can it not make him excited?
But then again, he was disgusted and a little jealous of these mentally unstable madmen.
In fact, the reputation of the Clown Church is too bad, and there are rumors that they have evil power from the depths of the abyss, and it is precisely because of the influence of that power that it will cause mental disorders.
If you listen to too many rumors, you will naturally form an internal protection mechanism psychologically, which makes people involuntarily vigilant.
Therefore, the middle-aged security officer's emotions were a little complicated at the moment, and his eyes flickered a little when he looked upstairs.
"Don't worry, the people are already under control, and they won't pose any more threats, just tie up upstairs, follow me!"
Meng Lei saw the other party's hidden worries, and comforted him, and then waved to a few people at the door, turned around and walked upstairs.
The group followed behind Meng Lei, walked into the lobby of apartment 402, and walked upstairs.
The surging smell of blood wafted in the air, and the clown Kevin was tied to the bed by Huo Ye and several people, the shocking injuries, the two security officers who saw it were shocked for a while, and it was hard to imagine what he had suffered before.
"There's no way, I got into a little trouble when I caught this guy, and I had to use some means as a last resort, so it shouldn't affect your business, right?"
Meng Lei spread out his palms and shrugged his shoulders with a hint of innocence in helplessness.
The middle-aged security officer waved his hand again and again when he heard this, but instead of feeling embarrassed, he said in surprise:
"No, no, these clowns are usually very noisy and not easy to deal with, but it's convenient, friend, I have to say that you have really helped us a lot! On behalf of the Modo City Security Office, I would like to thank you for your support and help with security issues in the city! ”
"Where, that's what we're supposed to do."
Meng Lei shook his head and chuckled disapprovingly, looking serious and carefree.
Next, the two security officers didn't stay at the Meltwater Apartment, and Kevin the Clown was very sensitive, and for any outpost, the Joker's presence was a sign that there might be some kind of huge security hazard in the city.
The matter must be reported as soon as possible, and then the Office of Security will take the lead in conducting a large-scale screening without a moment's delay.
Before leaving, the middle-aged security officer stopped Meng Lei and asked:
"Friend, when are you going to leave Modo City? Is there a specific plan? ”
Meng Lei shook his head suspiciously, and asked inexplicably:
"Not yet, when we leave depends on when Modo City is unblocked, and this is not something we can control.
What, what's the matter? ”
The middle-aged security officer suddenly sighed and said in a deep voice:
"In any case, I suggest you make some preparations as soon as possible, the nearby sea area has been a little uneven recently, there has been a serious biological riot, the danger factor has skyrocketed, and even threatened the safety of the entire city, you have to be mentally prepared......"
