Chapter 284

There are really very few organizations and countries that can step forward and take the blame for this.

"What strategies do you have?" MEI asked.

"Our response strategy is," said Clerk Li, "To bring the entire Changkong City to a standstill, and all residents of Changkong City must be transferred out of the Changkong City in an orderly manner."

"This!!!!"

Mei stared, her mouth agape; she could hardly believe it.

"That's over 20 million people!"

Even excluding the migrant population.

"The permanent residents of Changkong City, the natives of the city."

"That must be close to ten million, right?"

The migrant population can be sent back to where they came from, but what about the local natives? Even if there are only eight or nine million, that's still a considerable number.

It's definitely not something that can be solved with just a simple "evacuation".

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all guaranteed.

This is definitely a massive project that will last a long time!

"Yes," said Team Leader Liu. "We are very clear about the population of Changkong City, and we are also well aware of the difficulties it will face."

"It is precisely because this involves 23 million people that what we are doing now is of utmost importance."

"Could you be more specific?" MEI calmed herself down.

"Or rather, if you're looking for St. Freya, then look for me."

"What do you need us to do?"

"We know you are an expert in this field," said Deputy Team Leader Zhang. "So we would like to hear about the evacuation of residents from Changkong City."

"Is evacuation necessary?"

"Also," said Deputy Team Leader Zhang, "We'd like to ask something."

"Could you design and manufacture a..."

"Yes, it can be done on a large scale."

"A device for detecting Honkai Crystal."

This stumped MEI.

She could accept the latter, but the former...

"Let's manufacture such a device," MEI said, adjusting his glasses. "If you're willing to use it."

"I can build one very quickly."

"But you'll ask me whether we should evacuate."

She really didn't know how to answer this question.

This is a huge responsibility.

The mere touch of lips and teeth is a matter of life and death for millions.

"In my personal opinion," MEI thought carefully for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "I think we should evacuate!"

Based on the established events and the outcomes she knew, a Honkai engulfing the entire city was almost an inevitable historical outcome. Changkong City had survived for a very long time since she arrived.

If she were really allowed to make the decision, then evacuation would be inevitable.

"For the safety of all the people of Changkong City."

If there really is a large number of these Honkai Crystal in Changkong City, then it can be said that the Honkai Index is constantly rising.

Once the critical point is reached, a large-scale Honkai could erupt at any time.

Therefore, evacuation may be the best option.

"Leave some personnel behind," MEI said, adjusting his glasses. "To clear out these unstable Honkai Crystal in the city."

"Residents must evacuate as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

Hearing MEI's words, the three of them exchanged a glance.

"That's what we're doing right now," Team Leader Liu said, seemingly pleased. "Changkong City has already initiated an emergency evacuation."

"The evacuation of all residents of the city will officially begin tomorrow morning."

"At the same time, a city-wide search will be conducted."

"For Changkong City, for the people here."

"We are delighted that Doctor Mei is on our side."

"Your suggestion is very helpful to us."

"It works!"

Chapter 303 Facing Honkai

Changkong City is facing an unprecedented crisis.

The evacuation procedure has been initiated.

This is, after all, a megacity; it's not something you can just decide on today and have everyone evacuate tomorrow. It requires a meticulous plan.

Of course, it also requires a large team to operate.

These are things beyond her control.

MEI only provides one suggestion.

However, this suggestion accounts for a relatively small proportion of the overall plan.

The government has already made its own assessment. Regardless of whether MEI recommends that they evacuate personnel, they have already begun organizing the evacuation of people from Changkong City.

What they really wanted was something that could detect Honkai Crystal over a wide area.

Government personnel themselves also possess this development capability.

It's not a very difficult thing.

However, they are also willing to find someone to help with the development.

In short, it's about more cooperation, with both government and civil society playing a vital role.

In short, we must do everything in our power to prevent the impending Honkai in Changkong City.

MEI returned to her laboratory.

She pushed up her glasses.

"Who could have done this?"

MEI wasn't in a hurry to manufacture the device; for her, it was very easy and posed almost no challenge. Now, all the problems needed to be solved.

It would be best to solve the problem at its source.

In other words, who did it.

"Mom~ Doctor?"

As Mei was thinking about how to find the mastermind, a familiar voice suddenly rang out at the door.

You almost don't need to look at her to know who she is.

Kiana?

Mei adjusted her glasses, opened her cabinet, and skillfully took out a pastry. Kiana then also skillfully and consciously took her seat.

She seemed well-behaved, sensible, and very obedient.

"Hmm..." MEI nodded and said, "This is the real Kiana."

Yes, this is the real Kiana.

The real Kiana will come looking for food on her own.

A fake Kiana will ramble on and on, never getting to the point.

"Huh?"

Kiana looked a little confused. She tilted her head and looked at Mei, saying, "Am I really Kiana?"

"Huh?! Could it be K423?!"

"No~" MEI shook her head and said, "You're overthinking it, it's not K423."

Well, while the real Kiana doesn't really try to read people's expressions or read between the lines, Kiana absolutely dislikes K423 using his name to freeload at MEI's place.

Although the K423 would not normally do this.

But Kiana can't help but imagine things.

"That," MEI gestured and said, "There's a robot."

Do you remember?

Robot.

Kiana followed Mei's gaze and noticed a life-sized doll in the corner of the room.

"Huh?!!"

Kiana was startled; to be honest, she hadn't noticed it when she came in. It was only after Doctor Mei pointed it out that she noticed it.

Moreover, this thing is life-size, and even the workmanship on the exterior is very meticulous.

She almost thought it was...

It's a corpse!

Kiana put down the snack she was holding and moved closer.

"Huh?!"

Kiana was even more surprised. Upon closer inspection, she realized... wasn't that herself?

Huh?!

Is this a doll modeled after myself?!

"This!!!"

Kiana looked at MEI with some indignation.

Of course, this anger wasn't directed at MEI, but rather because it's very impolite to use someone else's image rights without authorization or permission.

Let alone making a doll based on the person, it's taking photos of people without their permission.

All of these will make me very angry.

Let's not talk about this anymore!

"A spy." MEI pushed up his glasses and said, "Yes, theoretically speaking, that should be correct."

They were, in a way, doing some kind of espionage.

If she hadn't happened to be in the lab, she might have stolen some data.

Although MEI doesn't think there's anything about his place that's worth anyone's attention.

"A spy?" Kiana, somewhat puzzled.

"A spy robot," MEI said. "It looks like it's planning to impersonate you and cause trouble here."

"I happened to stumble upon it and saw through it."

"That's infuriating!" Kiana said angrily. "He actually pretended to be me! I will definitely! I will definitely find this guy!"

"This guy absolutely cannot be let off lightly!"

"If we want to make an arrest," MEI said, leaning against the table, "Have you noticed any suspicious individuals recently?"

"Always hanging around you?"
