Harvest
With such a serious incident occurring in Dachang City, it would be impossible to cover it up even if one wanted to.
"A mysterious event? Dachang City has been shrouded in smog for ten days."
"Is the lack of sunshine in Dachang City for several days really a natural disaster?"
Do you believe in ghosts?
Similar topics have appeared on various online forums. These are just casual observers who have obtained some information through certain channels and are starting to discuss it. However, many people are just joining in the fun and don't care too much, since this matter doesn't really concern them.
However, for some people, the outside world's reaction is irrelevant right now.
"With the failure of this operation, the entire Dachang City must prepare to prevent the Starvation Ghost Incident from spreading further and causing greater losses. For this reason, I have written this report."
Wang Xiaoming sat in front of the computer, typed in a document, and wrote the complete report of this operation.
He believed that his failure had laid a very important foundation for subsequent success. The four stages of the Ghost Infant's transformation, as well as the existence of the source ghost, had all been thoroughly investigated. As long as the Headquarters had the corresponding manpower and a targeted action plan, he could succeed.
Therefore, this Starvation Ghost Incident is solvable; it's not entirely unsolvable.
However, Dachang City is currently isolated and lacks external assistance; the few people remaining in the city are powerless to reverse the situation.
Four or five days have passed since the last failed operation.
Dachang City has been shrouded in smog for more than ten days.
This period of time was neither long nor short.
Compared to the beginning, this city is clearly beginning to die.
Whether it's day or night, the city is becoming increasingly deserted. Before, you could still see some vehicles, pedestrians, and residents rushing to buy supplies on the streets, but now, apart from the occasional rat, stray dog, or stray cat, you can't see a single living person on the streets.
They may be hiding at home waiting for the event to end, or they may have already personally experienced the fear of being on the verge of despair.
Or perhaps they have already died silently in this incident.
No one knows how many people this major event will affect.
But those who survived must continue to find ways to survive.
In Guangjiang Residential Area, Zhang Xiangui spared no expense in building the safe house. To retain workers, he even offered a daily rate of 10,000 yuan.
Even so, workers continued to leave.
The project is progressing slower and slower.
The only saving grace is that there are no rumors of ghosts in this neighborhood.
Otherwise, all the workers would run away in fear, and the project would be impossible to continue.
But Yang Jian, the key figure, was not nervous at all at this time, nor did he care whether the project could be completed, and he didn't even care about the situation and circumstances in Dachang City.
At this critical moment of life and death, he was actually playing on the computer in his room.
"Brother Leg, to the left, go around to the left, take him out quickly! I've already taken down three. If Sister Jiang hadn't blown me up with a grenade, I could have killed even more."
"Damn it, Sister Jiang, what are you doing lying there? Help me up right now!"
Zhang Wei was shouting and yelling at this moment. He felt extremely tired, both physically and mentally, as he was collecting data with Yang Jian and Jiang Yan.
Yang Jian was one thing before, since his incompetence was obvious to everyone, but Jiang Yan, that auntie, was a complete cancer, throwing grenades right at her own feet.
"Don't be nervous, I've practiced my marksmanship recently, I'll definitely kill him."
Yang Jian manipulated the keyboard and mouse, lunging forward, but the moment he peeked out, he collapsed to the ground, and Jiang Yan, who was lying next to him, also died.
Game over, screen grayed out.
"?"
"How could I have died?" Jiang Yan asked.
Zhang Wei witnessed what had just happened and immediately cursed, "Damn it, this orphan actually pretended for so long! I thought he was a pro! Brother Leg, do you have any way to go through the internet and kill this bastard?"
But before she could finish speaking...
Suddenly, with a click, all the computers shut down.
The lights in the room immediately went out.
"Ah! There's a ghost."
Jiang Yan screamed and stood up, running to hide next to Yang Jian.
"It must be a power outage, Brother Leg. Did you forget to pay your electricity bill?" Zhang Wei asked.
Yang Jian, "I don't know, let me check."
The result was obvious: it wasn't the electricity bill that was the problem, but rather a problem with the city's power station. It's likely that once the power goes out, it will never be restored.
It seems that the impact of paranormal events is becoming increasingly significant.
"You actually have the mood to play games?" Soon, Wang Xiaoming walked in, frowning as he spoke.
Yang Jian took off his headphones. "This is called finding joy in hardship. Someone like you wouldn't understand. What did you come to me for?"
"Just now, the Dachang City fell; Ghost Infant appeared there," Wang Xiaoming said calmly. "There are many of them."
"What does this have to do with me? There were always a lot of Ghost Infant; this was something that could have been predicted from the beginning," Yang Jian.
Wang Xiaoming said, "You are the Dachang City Manager, this is your responsibility, and don't you know what the collective appearance of these Ghost Infant means?"
"Of course I know I'm the Dachang City Manager, and I know my responsibilities, but that doesn't mean I should go and die. I also understand the current situation; I'm powerless to turn things around on my own. If given the chance, I'd be very willing to act. Do you think I want to sit here and wait to die?"
Yang Jian said seriously, "Before, the Ghost Infant was just hiding and killing people secretly, but now it seems to have been released by something. If I'm not mistaken, that source ghost is starting to want to harvest the entire city."
"It's a natural progression for a potential danger to escalate into a major disaster. Isn't it precisely because we anticipated this scenario that we started building safe houses ahead of time?"
Without the constraints of the Ghost Tamer, the source ghost grew unchecked.
With the addition of numerous Ghost Infant, it was easy to imagine what this city would ultimately become.
It's just that this worst-case scenario came rather quickly.
"A safe house can only protect a dozen or so people at most, maybe twenty or so at most."
Wang Xiaoming's face darkened as he said, "But do you know how many people live in this city?"
"You mean you want me to save the people of this city?"
"Yes," Wang Xiaoming said.
Yang Jian: "I'm just an ordinary person. My abilities are very limited, and I'm powerless in the face of this. Didn't I contribute to the previous actions? Under these circumstances, only Jesus can reverse the situation. Do I look like Jesus to you?"
"You're not Jesus, you're a noob," Zhang Wei immediately retorted.
