"Report the latest progress!"

At this time, Qinggang, Main City, Special Pollution Cleanup Department headquarters, emergency information processing conference room.

Chen Jing's face turned blue, he clenched his fist nervously and smashed it on a pile of documents.

In front of her, there was a row of people facing computers, as well as several investigation team members who rushed over with the latest information, almost crowded together. After Chen Jing glared at them, they hurriedly lined up and reported one by one:

"The investigation team that entered Tashan Town still has no news."

"Contacted several other gathering points near Happy Town, but received no response."

"In the wilderness today, there is silence for some reason."

"Qinggang seems to have become an isolated island..."

"..."

Chen Jing's eyes were slightly red, as if he wanted to get angry, and he quickly closed his eyes.

When he opened it again, his expression became calm again, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me some information that you don't know yet."

"Yes!"

A person at the back squeezed to the front, opened the file, and said hurriedly, "After receiving the reports about the field and transmitter from Mr. Shansheng and... the deceased Information Gathering Unit, the observers have set up a temporary monitoring team and are preparing to activate the hidden monitoring instruments previously deployed at various locations outside the city to confirm the existence of the death field through targeted tracking algorithms."

At this point, he paused slightly.

Chen Jing immediately raised his head and looked at him. "Then what?"

The reporter said, "The hidden monitoring equipment is not responding."

"No response?"

Chen Jing's face suddenly turned gloomy. "How is that possible?"

The reporter looked embarrassed and said:

"Previously, in order to monitor the surrounding situation, we set up about ten long-distance observation points at various gathering points in the wilderness."

"There are monitoring instruments we have hidden inside, which are the eyes of Qinggang."

"But when we contacted various gathering points, we unexpectedly found that there was no response from each gathering point."

Chen Jing's palm clenched a piece of paper into a ball and said in a deep voice, "Everyone?"

The reporter nodded. "Yes."

There was silence throughout the office.

Outside Qinggang City, the major gathering points are not only extensions of Qinggang, but also the eyes of Qinggang.

But now, the eyes did not see what they wanted to see for Qinggang.

Instead, it gave them a sense of danger.

"I have something to report."

At this time, another person came forward and said urgently, "Five minutes ago, we captured the signal sent by Mr. Shan Bing!"

Chen Jing's face darkened, and he hurriedly asked someone to receive the signal.

"The investigation mission... is over. Now... carry out... cleanup..."

"..."

The signal is obviously very poor, causing the sound of Lu Xin to become blurry and intermittent.

The entire conference room suddenly became silent. After going through the cycle twice, the researcher hesitated and spoke:

"What is the result of Mr. Shanbing's investigation?"

"What kind of cleanup mission is he planning to carry out now?"

"His report is not... complete!"

"..."

Apparently many people have this idea.

Chen Jing took a deep look at them and said, "Under such circumstances, it is very rare that he still remembers the report."

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to the person who came to report and said, "What else?"

The other party immediately said, "After receiving the report from Mr. Shanbing, City Defense Department has already started to activate the secret agents outside the city. Fortunately, we got a response, which means that some of the people lurking outside are still okay..."

"According to the latest information they sent back, we know that they have tested Happy Town, and not long after Mr. Shanbing reported it, they detected Happy Town southwest of a hundred miles away, erupting with a powerful spiritual level."

"By capturing and calculating the marginal spiritual radiation, we can roughly determine its core point..."

"Has a total spiritual level of at least over 100,000!"

"..."

After this report came through, the busy conference room suddenly became silent.

Someone suddenly knocked over the cup, and everyone was in a panic.

One hundred thousand spiritual level.

Chen Jing took a deep breath, and after a long time, he whispered, "Who is your opponent?"

A man in military uniform walked up, handed over an information document marked with many red lines, and said in a deep voice:

"I just received a summary of various recent intelligence from Minister Shen, as well as the trends of major forces for analysis. The person who has the ability to cause such a big movement, and who happens to have signs of activity in the north, is likely to be an old rival of ours in Qinggang..."

"Technological Church!"

"..."

The conference room instantly became silent.

Many people's palms trembled just after hearing this name.

He had always maintained his composure, but at this moment, he seemed to be losing his composure.

The person who reported the report continued, "We have previously received a report about a single soldier tracking the knights who released the spiritual bomb in Qinggang City, and organized professional information personnel to analyze it. Although the content of the report is very simple, it can also draw a lot of shocking information. For example, no one can approach the S-level restricted area, but the people of the knights can hide inside."

"This shows that the people in the Knights know more about that Happy Town than we do in Qinggang. As for the background of that Knights, City Defense Department has been investigating since then, and obtained some important information from the only survivor of that Knights. They should be the peripheral knights of Technological Church, and they are usually responsible for performing some tasks for Technological Church."

"Based on the above, it can be seen that Technological Church has long mastered the secret of entering and exiting Happy Town freely."

"Now it can be determined that the formation of the field is related to the Queen of Happy Town."

"So, we can preliminarily conclude that the opponent we face this time is the collaboration between Technological Church and that Queen."

"..."

The atmosphere in the conference room already seemed very depressing.

But just at this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a woman wearing a business suit walked in.

"New information has just been received."

She gently placed a document in front of Chen Jing and whispered, "Songshan Town, Blackwater Town, Baini Town, Qinghe Town and other gathering points and knights discovered something strange at the same time. They have all organized armed forces and rushed to the Happy Town area."

"Our people lurking in these gathering points did not feedback any valuable information."

"We called them through the common frequency, but they didn't respond."

"To put it simply, the leaders in those gathering points... seem to be crazy."

"..."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became more depressing.

I don't know how many people have frowned at this time.

The dark wilderness, the resurrected dead, the sudden mobilization of the living army, the mysterious field.

What exactly is Qinggang facing now?

"Living people, dead people..."

Chen Jing seems to be a little numb.

The remote monitoring instruments were cut off, and mutations occurred at various gathering points. Information Gathering Unit, the observation points around Happy Town, were all killed. At this time, as High Wall City, almost all their eyes and ears outside were blind and deafened. Taking into account all the information, they even found that they only knew that there was danger and chaos outside, and nothing else.

"Mr. Su's signal is coming in..."

Suddenly someone said softly, and everyone in the conference room hurriedly looked up.

A kind round face appeared on the screen, but there was no usual smile on this face. It looked a bit serious and cold. He said softly, "Colonel Chen, the latest news has been sent to me. Does it feel familiar to you?"

"Familiar?"

Chen Jing's mouth twitched and said, "Is it four years ago?"

The entire conference room seemed quiet. Only Chen Jing said with some self-mockery, "They just entered Qinggang Satellite City No. 4 openly and openly, spread their so-called gospel and truth, and then took away so many people in front of us."

"We wanted to do anything, but we found that we were blocked by them. In the end, we could only watch them take people away..."

"That is Qinggang's biggest shame since it was founded."

"..."

Inside the screen, Mr. Su nodded slightly. "Then do you have any suggestions?"

Chen Jing was immediately speechless.

There was undoubtedly endless anger, unwillingness, and a feeling of humiliation in her heart.

But she also had to admit that beyond all that, there was fear.

Facing the chaos and eerie silence outside the city, Qinggang has indeed become an isolated island.

So, as an isolated island, what can they do?

While Chen Jing was silent, four people were sitting quietly in the office next door.

Gecko sat at the top, scratching his hair in distress.

The drunkard silently opened his thermos cup and sipped the wine in the cup.

A person who looked very young was writing his homework carefully.

A well-dressed woman looked in the mirror, applied lipstick seriously, and pursed her lips from time to time.

"I... I really don't want to go..."

Gecko was annoyed for a long time, almost pulling out several strands of his hair, before he suddenly raised his head.

He was not afraid of the drunkard anymore, and looked directly at the drunkard. "Really, I am very loyal!"

"Captain, he has saved me so many times, how could I leave him alone?"

"But you also heard the report just now. What kind of chaos is it outside now..."

"Compared with Technological Church and that Queen, what is the difference between us ability users and ordinary people?"

"We really might die..."

"I believe in the captain's strength, but the captain really doesn't know how to protect people, so..."

"So the captain will definitely be fine. Who in his family would dare to offend him?"

"We don't have to go out at all, just wait..."

"..."

The room was very quiet, no one answered him, everyone was still doing their own thing.

It took the drunkard a while before he chuckled, "Xiaohu, it sounds like you believe in Little Soldier?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Gecko pulled her hair in pain.

"But you don't seem to believe that..."

The drunkard laughed twice and said, "If you were as confident as you said, you wouldn't be so hesitant about whether to go out."

Gecko was a little stunned. He looked up stupidly and looked at the drunkard with a face of collagen:

"Uncle, what should we do?"

"..."

Not far from the Special Purity Department, in a lonely small building.

The staff of the service team looked at Kid who was sitting quietly on the sofa with some worry. Since that guy left, Kid has been sitting on the sofa, watching the commercials on the TV without turning on the sound.

They had already heard about what happened outside the city at this time, but they did not dare to tell Kid.

Just quietly, quietly, after sitting for a while.

Kid suddenly turned his head and looked out the window, at that late night with light rain.

After watching quietly for a while, she suddenly stood up.

She put on her skirt, put on her mask, put on her shoes, and picked up her umbrella.

After taking a look at the room, he also brought his dinner, a box of untouched glutinous rice cakes.

Then she walked down the stairs with light steps.

He walked through the empty hall without saying a word, and then walked towards the drizzly night.

Let's start with these two chapters today. Let me take a breath and add more.
