Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 104 Exploration outside the area

The entire ward is very warmly decorated. There is a huge glass window on the south side of the room, through which you can see half of the inner city.

There are two soft leather sofa chairs in front of the window, with bear pillows on each sofa.

There is a pot of evergreen next to the sofa. The sunlight shines in, and the tender green leaves gradually turn into emerald green, like pieces of jasper.

Wei Zonglin was sitting on the bed, holding a tablet and looking at the map of the entire safe zone.

So far, humans have built a total of eleven safe zones. Not counting one area, consider each remaining safe area as a point, connected by straight lines and curves, to form a five-pointed star pattern in a circle.

The first area is located in the center of the five-pointed star pattern, surrounded by other safe areas, and is the core area of ​​mankind.

Areas 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 constitute the second annular core area. The remaining areas 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 constitute the third ring defense area.

The ninth area is located at the protruding tip of the five-pointed star and connects the four safety areas. The two closest safety zones are Zone 2 and Zone 3, and the farthest are Zone 7 and Zone 11.

Each safety zone is connected mainly by the transportation subway located 200 meters underground. The subway is not open to the general public, and only people with special status can ride to other safe areas.

The safe zones have their own independent magnetic field shields. These shields are the greatest reliance on the continuation of human civilization to this day.

The magnetic field shield combines multiple technologies such as electron particle rings, magnetic resonance, electromagnetic wave convex lenses, reflectors, and nuclear fusion to create a huge, chaotic, and irregularly refreshed artificial magnetic field.

The magnetic field shield forms an area similar to the legendary Bermuda Triangle. Any creature entering this area will only end up getting lost or torn apart by the magnetic field storm.

So far no evil spirits have been able to pass through this area.

Of course, just as even the most airtight firewall will have a back door, the magnetic shield also has a special safe passage for humans to enter and exit.

The key to opening the channel is in the hands of the psychic research institutes in each safe zone.

Considering that evil spirits cannot enter the safe zone from the outside alone, there is only one possibility left:

Someone brought the evil spirit in from outside the safe zone.

"It can only be a pioneer."

Ouyang Hai once called himself a "pioneer", a term that was very popular twenty years ago. After human beings entered the safe zone, they wanted to regain the lost ground, and those who shouldered the mission and ventured out of the safe zone were called "pioneers".

The pioneers were once very dazzling. After the Red Moon Incident, mankind entered a period of eight-year isolation, and these talents were slowly diluted.

However, in the past two years, representatives of the hawks in the séance have resumed exploration operations outside the area.

Curiosity is human nature. What is the current situation of the outside world, whether the evil spirits have disappeared, and the desire to explore will only settle but will not disappear.

There are two exploration pilots open in the initial stage, which are the tenth and eleventh areas in the lower half of the five-pointed star pattern. These two areas are closest to the deserted District 12.

If Wei Zonglin remembered correctly, the most recent exploration outside the area should have been three months ago. There is a high probability that the enemy sneaked in during this period.

There is so much that can be done in three months.

"Ouyang Hai took the Fuxing to the Fifth District to attend the Spring Parliament in April. If he contacted evil spirits through this channel, then others can too."

"That would be bad."

The real situation will only be more serious than imagined. After all, they don't know much about the methods of evil spirits, and there is currently no way to detect them.

Regardless, action must be taken.

Regarding the mutant matter, he had asked Shan Yujie to prepare a report and send it to the club last night. It is now 12:26, ​​so we should have a rough result. Thinking of this, Wei Zonglin took a deep breath and dialed the number. After waiting no more than a second, the call was answered.

"Hey, the dignified Vice President Wei actually took the initiative to find me one day." A joking female voice came from the other end of the phone.

The person Wei Zonglin contacted was named Shen Nanzhi, the only daughter of former President Shen Tiansi, one of the vice-presidents of the Spiritual Society, and his former comrade-in-arms.

Wei Zonglin went straight to the point: "What will happen now?"

"You sent bombs overnight, what else can you expect? The whole of northwestern Shanxi is almost in chaos."

"Disagreement?"

Shen Nanzhi sighed: "There are various opinions. Some people even suspect that this is a play you directed and acted in District 9. There are no mutants at all."

"The Psychic Research Institute has confirmed this."

"Researchers are not machines that cannot lie. People can be bribed. So the facts cannot be finalized before the body is transported to the headquarters...Some people think so."

"It will be too late to send it over." Wei Zonglin continued, "If there is no delay, stop the Pioneer Project first. In addition, communication between the various safety zones must be cut off immediately."

"This idea was raised at the meeting, but the part about cutting off communication was rejected."

Wei Zonglin was silent for two seconds, then suddenly realized something and sighed: "It seems it's too late."

"You should conceal the part in the report about Ouyang Hai's rejuvenation. Some old guys' eyes gleamed when they saw it. To be honest, even I was a little moved..."

"How should I write about fighting an old man in a wheelchair to the death, even using the light of day?"

"Well, in short, since you have tested human nature, you should undergo the test of human nature next. There is no point in being anxious now, we can only take it one step at a time."

"In addition, congratulations, your term as president of the Ninth District has been suspended urgently. Many people have suggested that the Bureau of Investigation has gone too far and doubted your management ability. Therefore, the headquarters decided to leave the post of president blank and conduct further observation. a period of time."

Wei Zonglin said nothing, so Shen Nanzhi continued:

"Don't blindly elevate the status of extraordinary people. Doing so will only alienate and fear the people. The various measures and statements you have introduced have made the people of District 9 nervous. From time to time, you have to learn to numb the public's emotions, otherwise the pressure will sooner or later Let social order collapse. Don’t look down on entertainment, it is an important lubricant for the operation of civilization. If everyone stays awake at all times, the world will be full of pain.”

"Yeah." Wei Zonglin couldn't refute. He was better at fighting than managing. "Finally, I want to know what you think about the whole thing."

Wei Zonglin asked about the position.

However, Shen Nanzhi replied briskly:

"I want to have a family with you."

"...For now, I will stay in District 9 for the time being, and I will contact you if there is any situation later."

"whispering sound."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Zonglin felt a little disappointed. After all, he was still naive. He overestimated the consciousness of some colleagues and forgot that human civilization has been performing human-cannibal dramas all the time for thousands of years.

For these people, they have to eat people and become monsters anyway, so what's the difference.

Headache, this feels so bad.

"Jin Ling, what would you do if it were you?"
