Top-Level Meeting

Bunker, Second Level.

As the lowest functional level, despite the heavy foot traffic, most of the people here were from the lower strata.

Aside from personnel from the Bunker Security Bureau, the Bunker Administration Bureau and its subordinate departments, such as the Bunker Health Bureau, high-level personnel rarely came to the Second Level.

They found it too dirty.

Especially since the lower levels were currently experiencing an epidemic. To prevent the contagion from spreading to levels above the Fourth Level—

The passage from the Second Level to the Third Level was now almost completely blocked.

Even those from higher levels who wished to descend required quarantine and tedious paperwork.

This naturally sparked dissatisfaction among all Bunker citizens residing on the First Level.

They hung banners in protest, went on strike, documented the plight of their families, and accused the high-level personnel of disregarding human rights.

But none of it worked.

The concern for human rights from the upper levels towards the lower levels was condescending.

Black Lives Matter was indeed correct, but if Black people from the lower strata provoked truly white nobles, especially powerful figures in the high-level circles…

They would likely disappear without a trace.

This was the Bunker. It was certainly not just, but it was a very practical approach.

For epidemics that could not be solved, the high-level personnel believed that sacrificing a portion of the population was better than sacrificing everyone.

For several consecutive days, the passage to the upper levels remained sealed.

This hardship fell upon the lower-level people, and naturally, it also affected the grassroots personnel of the Bunker Health Bureau.

Coughs, vomiting, the sour stench of various bodily fluids in the air… these things permeated the First Level residential zone and the Second Level functional zone.

The Health Bureau personnel could easily empathize with the lower-level people; weren't they also from the lower strata?

They just hoped that the high-level personnel would send support.

They had expected this isolation from the high-level personnel to last a long time, but unexpectedly, today, a change occurred on the Second Level.

Hundreds of doctors from the high-level strata, clad in hazardous material suits, descended from above – an unprecedented event.

Not only doctors, but also Bunker Security Guards armed with weapons accompanied them.

Their sudden arrival today was because a miraculous building had appeared on the Second Level of the Bunker.

That massive hospital, with a style completely different from all other buildings on the Second Level, had simply descended into the Bunker.

An hour earlier.

The hospital that appeared out of nowhere attracted many onlookers from the lower strata.

In the lower levels, the places that gangsters would absolutely not provoke or cause trouble were hospitals.

And this suddenly appearing hospital possessed an indescribable sense of technology. It was like a building from the future.

The patients yearned for treatment, and with a hospital appearing at this moment, it was natural for some to be unable to resist exploring it.

As people continuously poured into this hospital, someone soon shouted:

"This was brought by someone codenamed Wen Xishu! My God! This is a Level Six Hospital!"

"We're saved! We're saved!"

"Wen Xishu, Wen Xishu! He brought a Level Six Hospital! Quick! Go call the Health Bureau people!"

If one observed closely, they would notice that a small portion of the people were merely emphasizing Wen Xishu's name, not the arrival of the hospital itself.

Under the guidance of these people, people's attention soon shifted to Wen Xishu.

More and more people rushed in.

For the people of the lower strata, what they loved to discuss the most was the strength rankings on the Ladder Ranking.

Someone on the Ladder Ranking obtained a new sequence, and although their level wasn't high, their individual combat ability was definitely stronger than someone else…

But their actual information was very limited.

It was as if they were shouting Wen Xishu's name, and this name spread rapidly in a very short time…

But not a single person mentioned that he was the brother of the extremely evil criminal Wen Chaohua.

This was because they had no idea how wicked Wen Chaohua was, nor did they know that the entire Wen family were "bad seeds."

Naturally, they wouldn't recognize Wen Xishu. But under the guidance of a portion of the people, they began to

feel moved, celebrate, and vent!

Wen Xishu's name also spread quickly.

The suddenly appearing Level Six Hospital brought them great hope.

However, this news soon reached the high-level personnel as well.

The high-level security forces in riot gear quickly drove out the low-level Bunker citizens from the hospital.

The troops from the higher levels occupied the hospital.

Bunker, Level Sixteen.

As the eighth functional level, this was a level accessible only to the absolute power-holders of the Bunker.

This entire functional level housed over half of the Bunker's Level Six and Level Five facilities.

Yet, such a luxurious functional level served only a select few.

The Director of the Bunker Security Bureau's First Branch, the Director of the Bunker Administration Bureau's First Branch, the Director of the Bunker Security Bureau's Second Branch...

These individuals were currently seated in the "conference room."

This was a Level Seven Facility - the Conference Room.

Level Six represented advancement, excellence, and technology. But Level Seven often possessed a certain special power.

The Level Seven Conference Room automatically generated various data, informing the administrators of the Bunker's latest changes.

Population changes, population age shifts, population health status changes, birth rates, death rates.

And also - the distribution of Bunker structures and the distribution of supplies.

At this very moment, the directors of the Bunker Security Bureau and the Bunker Administration Bureau, the two largest departments in the Bunker, all initiated a meeting at the behest of the Bunker Elder Council.

The subject of the meeting was the sudden arrival of a massive amount of supplies and the Level Six facility.

"Wen Chaohua definitely helped him. Otherwise, how could someone who's never ascended a tower reach Level Six Completion in the Tower of Deception?"

"Directors, it's now almost certain that Wen Xishu and Wen Chaohua are indeed closely connected. I believe we should initiate a more intense interrogation."

The speaker was not the Director of the Bunker Security Bureau, but a secretary from the Security Bureau's First Branch.

The Director of the Bunker Security Bureau's Second Branch, portly with a receding hairline and exuding an air of leadership, spoke with a rather approachable smile:

"Young comrade, don't rush to conclusions. We can't rule out the possibility that Comrade Wen Xishu is indeed a genius at exploring the Tower of Deception."

"Furthermore, the Xun family also mentioned the Three Towers Co-exploration Principle. The exploration of the Tower of Deception is about to commence in full swing. If Wen Xishu can achieve such a feat on his first ascent, he is highly suitable for use by the Security Bureau."

"Whether they are death row inmates or social elites, as long as they can explore the Three Towers, they have value."

At this point, a white woman from the Bunker Security Bureau's Third Branch, with high cheekbones, a prominent nose, and sharp eyes, spoke:

"Don't forget one thing: the atrocities committed by the Wen family. If their indiscriminate killings reappear in the Tower of Desire, it could prevent us from exploring it."

"If Wen Chaohua truly aided Wen Xishu, then we cannot conclude that Wen Xishu is a genius. All Wen family members deserve to die. How can such people be entrusted with important roles?"

"Extracting clues about Wen Chaohua from him and then executing him is what needs to be done now."

The Director of the Sixth Bureau was the youngest among all the Security Bureau directors, at thirty-seven years old, having earned his position through distinguished military achievements.

His sharp, starry eyes and square face gave him a commanding presence:

"I knew this woman would only cause trouble. Do you even hear what you're saying?"

"What, this person brought back a super facility that can change the medical conditions for all Bunker citizens, greatly alleviated the supply pressure on the lower levels, and might even solve this epidemic. And we're going to execute him instead of rewarding him?"

"Is the law of this Bunker really decided by banging on the table? Or have you already prepared to smear his name?"

At this moment, the Director of the Bunker Administration Bureau's First Branch suddenly spoke:

"Let's not argue, everyone. Let's first examine what was brought this time. While I advocate for Wen Xishu's execution..."

"However, it might be difficult to suppress public opinion, unless we completely disregard the medicine Wen Xishu brought."

The Director of the Security Bureau's Second Branch said:

"It seems this medicine is no ordinary thing?"

Everyone's gaze turned towards the table in the center of the conference room. Soon, someone gasped in shock:

"This is Level Six hospital supplies, completely different from Level Four and Five."

In the center of the conference room, a massive holographic projection appeared.

The projection displayed the notes for the medicine brought by Wen Xishu.

[Level Six · Medicine — Upon use, it eliminates all viral diseases and grants immunity to all diseases for fifteen days. Note 1: Cannot heal injuries; this medicine is effective only for treating illnesses.

Note 2: The medicine can only eliminate diseases but cannot supplement nutrition.

Note 3: This medicine has a nine-month interval between uses.]

Everyone fell silent.

The medicine brought by Wen Xishu wasn't just potentially capable of solving the epidemic disaster in the lower levels; it was absolutely capable of solving it.

Everyone understood the implications of eliminating all viral diseases and granting immunity to all diseases.

"Is this the kind of supply brought out from the Tower of Deception? It's truly unreasonable."

As Liu Jinsen's superior, the Director of the Bunker Security Bureau's Second Branch, he hoped Wen Xishu would survive.

Now, his smile became even more pronounced.
