Chapter 75 New Era
Sudden attack.
The official original plan was completely disrupted.
Now that the matter has come to this, it will be in vain to continue to conceal the news of the spiritual energy tide.
Shanqing City is a key first-tier city in China. The birds and beasts that crossed the Luofeng River and caused chaos in the city spread throughout the country through various media channels in less than half an hour.
Even though many places abroad have been in chaos in the past two months, it is still a foreign country. Most people in China still have no concept of the arrival of the new era, let alone understanding it, because of the existence of network barriers.
Peace has brought prosperity and stability to this country, but it has also made people lazy about danger.
The "monster war" that broke out in the city completely tore away the appearance of peace.
Jin'an City, Headquarters of Special Affairs Bureau.
As what happened in Shanqing City was reported, an emergency meeting gathering many high-level officials was held here.
"According to the information distributed in Shanqing City, the scale of the attack is not large, the strength of the bird flock is generally low, the situation in the city has gradually stabilized, and the team of Jiuke is encircling and suppressing the fish that slipped through the net."
In front of the spacious round table, a man with a firm and steady face stood in front of a video showing the situation in Shanqing City and said in a deep voice,
"And what I want to say is that this attack is an opportunity for the Special Affairs Bureau to come to the forefront. We can take advantage of this event that has caused a huge social impact to selectively tell the people about the current situation.
."
An unprecedented monster attack on the city has now attracted the attention of the whole country.
Under this premise, launching a plan that has been formulated before will undoubtedly allow more people to take the initiative to understand and pay attention. The effect may be far better than the official dry news.
What's more important is that the Shanqing City Special Affairs Bureau branch responded very well and quickly brought the situation under control. Even the Special Affairs Department Nine and other combatants performed brilliantly. Public opinion has already regarded them as
hero.
This undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the Special Affairs Bureau to come to the forefront.
"Director Wang, I think we can ask Shanqing City to recommend a few members who performed well in this incident, and let them take the lead and open up the situation... I got a copy on the way here
Data, it seems that the one receiving the most attention right now is the bald swordsman who guards the entire mall by himself?"
Someone next to him seemed to have thought of something, and raised his hand to operate the machine on the conference table. Soon, the center of the round table began to play the footage taken by citizens at Yusheng Shopping Mall.
In the middle of the empty shopping mall, the corpses of birds and beasts were piled up, and the rich smell of blood seemed to overflow through the screen. The bald swordsman who is now hotly discussed on the Internet was holding a medicine bottle in his hand and kept pouring it on the corpses.
.
After pouring the whole bottle, he went to the shade next to him, drank milk tea while placing the long sword on his lap and waited.
After a while, a new bird demon arrived, attracted by the smell of blood, and went straight to the corpses on the ground. However, before it could taste the flesh and blood of its kind, it was kicked to the ground in the square, and was immediately killed with a sword.
The action is crisp and neat!
"He is not from the Special Affairs Bureau. He is still in the cooperation stage. The previous blood-soaked soul-seeking case in Shanqing City was completed by him and the local Special Affairs Group A. I have asked Wu Senyan to contact him. So far, no one has
Respond."
He raised his hand and clicked on another video. The dark blue sword light flew across the screen, killing dozens of strange birds in the blink of an eye like chopping melons and vegetables. This was also the most popular video on the Internet at the moment. Director Wang turned to watch
Asked the middle-aged man wearing Taoist robes on the right,
"According to the known information, this person's name is Luo Jian, and he claims to be the successor of Shangqing Tao. Taoist Master Zhou, do you know anything about Shangqing Tao?"
"I have never heard of the name of this sect. It may be a sect that is hidden from the world. He did not show any Taoist skills in the video. This flying sword... It takes time to check. I will give it to you as soon as possible.
You reply."
The Taoist priest surnamed Zhou stared at the scene on the screen and listened to the director of special affairs talking about the origin of the other party. He couldn't help but feel confused.
The meeting at the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters is still going on, and the outside world's attention to the monster attack in Shanqing City has reached an unprecedented height, and the impact of the incident has been fermented again and again.
News from various places, self-media platforms and even various chat software are full of live videos and related discussions.
What was beyond official expectations was that compared to the dangers posed by the monsters, most people's attention was focused on the Ember Apostles.
Perhaps because the fighting power of the strange bird flock this time was quite average, the battles in various parts of the city became a stage for extraordinary people to perform, and the people enthusiastically discussed the extraordinary abilities they displayed in the battle.
The major short video websites are really winning.
The Special Affairs Bureau took advantage of this momentum and released various relevant intelligence step by step.
From the initial maintenance of stability, to later, captain-level figures such as Wu Senyan were gradually brought to the stage, allowing them to speak to the people or those Ember Apostles who were still waiting to see.
This is a necessary step. Officials have to convince the public that the existence of the Special Affairs Bureau is to protect them. As the key to defending against monster attacks, the Ember Apostles naturally have to stand up and show their attitude.
Wu Senyan originally wanted Yan Jing to play this main role, but the latter, as the one who received the most attention, chose to leave without hesitation after confirming that no more monsters were coming, and disappeared.
In fact, Yan Jing did not leave Shanqing City, he just took off his mask and returned to his original appearance.
On the one hand, he really has no interest in dealing with the media. After all, Luo Jian himself has a fake identity. He did it deliberately to save people in the mall. To a certain extent, he also wanted the outside world to focus their attention on Luo Jian.
Add a halo to this identity.
Since the goal has been achieved or even exceeded, Yan Jing is not crazy enough to actively seek the spotlight.
He is an Ember Apostle, not a draft pick.
On the other hand, because the bird attack has not yet completely ended, in order to prevent a second wave of offensive, the port outside Shanqing City has been blocked at this time, helicopters are hovering high in the sky, and there are troops stationed below.
Needless to say, if you forcefully leave the port at this time, you will definitely be stopped. Yan Jing cannot change the appearance of his yacht in front of everyone, so he might as well stay in Shanqing City and wait and see the further development of the situation.
Until it gets dark.
The monsters that attacked the citizens were completely eliminated.
Yan Jingcai contacted Wu Senyan again after seeing information on the news that the Special Ninth Division and the city's special police department had closed down their respective teams.
It's not to report safety, but to get as much information as possible before heading to Luojiang Forest tomorrow.
Wu Senyan was currently entangled with many matters and couldn't leave for a while, so he asked deputy captain An Ling to help.
...
In the research institute under the Special Affairs Bureau.
A considerable number of monster corpses were transported here for subsequent anatomy research.
Yan Jing, who had returned to his identity as Luo Jing, stood in front of the dissecting table and looked at the strange bird on the table that had been completely dismembered by the researchers.
I didn't notice anything strange,
Yan Jing knew nothing about biology, so he could tell which one was the heart and which one was the stomach.
In the end, I just thought that these monster wings should taste pretty good when grilled.
"Here we go, the autopsy report that just came out."
An Ling's voice came from the door. She had just finished the battle and hadn't had time to change into regular clothes. She was still wearing the combat uniform of Jiuke. Her military boots made a "click-click" sound on the tiles, which sounded like
Always ready to fight.
If I remember correctly, she should be on the hot search list now, and her ranking is quite high. Her heroic appearance holding two daggers and chopping down several strange birds was photographed by many people.
If nothing else, she should be the national wife in the past two days.
"Any special findings?"
Yan Jing didn't reach out to receive the autopsy report. He couldn't understand the data on it anyway, so Yan Jing simply asked An Ling to dictate it.
"There is no special place found in the body structure of these monsters... I mean that they are in their proper state, standard monsters that evolve under the influence of spiritual energy tides, and they are not even extraordinary creatures, because
They have no special abilities."
An Ling looked at the indifferent Yan Jing, and couldn't help but recall the video he had seen on the way here. He paused and added,
"The only strange thing is that a certain number of bite wounds were found on the bodies of these strange birds."
"Bite?"
"It should be caused by some kind of insect. We suspect that their sudden departure from the Luojiang Mountains is due to the appearance of these insects."
Open the autopsy report, take out a few photos and place them next to the anatomy table.
Yan Jing stepped forward and took a glance. As An Ling said, after these strange birds were sent to the institute to lose their hair, there were indeed a lot of bite marks on their bodies.
Looking through the many photos compiled separately by the institute, Yan Jing's mind couldn't help but think of what happened when the researchers were rescued this morning.
A professor seemed to mention the existence of insect swarms when he climbed into the rubber boat.
"The bites of insects may irritate these strange birds. The problem is that when the incident occurred, these strange birds rushed out of the Luojiang Mountains at the same time. Could they have been stimulated by insects at the same time, but they rushed straight to the mountains in unison?
Qingshi?”
Thinking back on the details of the incident he just learned, Yan Jing frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.
No matter how powerful the insect swarm is, can it still control hundreds or thousands of strange birds at once and drive them towards cities several kilometers away?
Faced with Yan Jing's inquiry, An Ling could only helplessly shake her head and express that she was unclear.
At present, the Special Affairs Bureau does not know much about the situation in the Luojiang Mountains.
"Tomorrow I will go to the Luojiang Mountains. You have to allow time. I may need you to help me see something at high altitude."
Yan Jing, who had some suspicions in his mind, put down the photo, turned to An Ling and said.
Instead of speculating here, it's better to go for it.
Practice brings true knowledge.
Yan Jing wanted to see what was hidden in the Luojiang Mountains.
Chapter completed!
