"The gloom over Dachang City is dissipating."
Night, 9:30 PM.
A startling piece of news came from the temporary command center outside Dachang City.
The gloom that had blanketed Dachang City for nearly a month had finally begun to recede tonight. Before this, the observers outside the city had only watched it grow thicker and thicker, the situation worsening by the day. It had never shown any sign of improving.
"What? Is this information reliable?"
When the news reached Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua, he jolted awake in his tent and sat up. "Quick, notify the others. Convene an emergency meeting."
In an instant, countless lights came on around the command center, and every important person still resting was awakened.
In less than ten minutes, the temporary conference room was packed.
"Yang Jian succeeded. He has restrained the source ghost. It seems the Starvation Ghost Incident has been resolved for now. The gloom is disappearing, so people should be able to enter Dachang City," Wang Xiaoming's voice came through the communications station.
"Excellent! Minister, give the order. I'll lead the repair crews into Dachang City right away. We'll restore the city's water and power supply within eight hours," a logistics officer said excitedly.
"Our medical and rescue personnel are also assembling. We can have everyone gathered within ten minutes. Please give the order, Minister."
"The first batch of emergency supplies is loaded and ready to depart. As long as the roads are clear, the supplies can be delivered into Dachang City within half an hour."
Cao Yanhua was excited as well, but he was not swept away by the joy. "What's the rush? Proceed according to plan. Li Jun, Zhao Jianguo, take the special operations personnel and the supporting Ghost Tamers into Dachang City first. Meet with Yang Jian as quickly
