Indescribable cyberpunk - #668 - Chapter 647 Waiting

Catastrophe in Yecheng.

For many, it was a nightmare, a sudden wave of terror.

Those who knew about it hid the disaster, not only prohibiting its details from being known to the public, but also strictly prohibiting any organization from mentioning it in public. They wanted to forget it in this way, even if it was only for a short time.

Unfortunately, no matter how much you choose to turn a blind eye, some things will blink like a triangle shark fin on the sea.

It eventually became a nightmare for everyone who knew about it, especially city managers.

It is no wonder that Bulwer mentioned in another urgent high-level meeting that after the Yecheng catastrophe that Virginia had emphasized, the major capital consortiums that originally seemed to be at ease immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and even some Bewildered.

Why is this so?

This was the first reaction of most people at the meeting.

As for the remaining handful of people, their faces became extremely ugly when they thought of some things that happened not long ago.

You must know that Thousand Sail City is different from other super cities. In order to completely control this city, the five major consortiums and the federal government were at odds with each other. Subsequently, there was continuous suppression. If the people did not still recognize the legitimacy of the federal government, They might have demolished the three-story building called “Federal Government Office in Qianfan City” long ago.

This certainly allowed them to get what they wanted. The promulgation of various policies not only made huge profits for their respective groups, but also further expanded through surrounding satellite cities. The speed of capital expansion was even more jaw-dropping.

Relying on the increasingly serious monster crisis around the world, the emergence of dangerous zones one after another has forced the people to begin to gather. Capital oligarchs use this to recruit refugees and form a large-scale modern organization called “Guardian of Humanity” that actually consolidates their own rule. The military, literally a super city with a population of tens of millions plus several small satellite cities around it, has become their “territory”.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Now facing the fierce Ouroboros that invades Thousand Sails City with strange means, the top management of Thousand Sails City is helpless!

They have huge financial resources, and just a fraction of the number in their bank account is enough to make an ordinary civilian a rich man, but those monsters cannot bribe them with money at all.

They control nearly one-third of the world’s cutting-edge technology, whether it is industry, medical or electronic intelligence. No one can ignore the five major consortiums, but these things lose their effectiveness in the face of those monsters that are beyond common sense, chaotic and barbaric.

At this time, the only ones who can help and arrive in a short time are the federal government and the Archaeological Association, which have been fighting monsters that cause mental pollution around the world and have accumulated a lot of experience.

Although the former’s MCB department, the Monster Countermeasures Bureau, has ceased to exist in name only, the federal government still has its own database established over the years and an elite force dedicated to dealing with monsters that are sources of mental pollution. Moreover, in terms of familiarity with the Yecheng Cataclysm, I’m afraid no one has more say than them.

It stands to reason that in the current situation, other cities would definitely seek help from the federal government as soon as possible, and the latter would definitely send support troops immediately. The lives of tens of millions of people are at stake, and there is no room for any delay.

What if Qianfan City did this?

There is no doubt that the federal government will still choose to help, and it will not be a small help, it will definitely help with all its strength.

But precisely because of this, high-level parliaments are afraid and unwilling to seek help from the federal government!

It took a lot of effort to drive the federal government out back then, and it has done so many things that have harmed the interests of the other side in recent years. Now, if we invite people back to help, don’t we have to pay a price?

She’s not a call girl. She just makes a phone call and comes to your door. When she’s done, she settles the bill and then goes to work. That’s the federal government!

To give the simplest example, what if the federal government sends someone to solve the problem and the people find that the current government is not as good as the federal government and demand that the federal government return to power?

Regardless of whether the high-level parliament is willing to hand back power, whether the federal government, which is so popular among the people, will consider their ideas is a question!

Driving the tiger to devour the wolf may be a good way, but what if the tiger wants to come to Xiaoao Mountain Forest after devouring the wolf? What should they do?

These heavy concerns finally made the person who proposed this plan in the high-level council sit back helplessly under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes that seemed to be eating people.

There is only one option left, the Archaeological Society!

However, unfortunately, the heavy casualties caused by the archaeological activities in Tokyo have involved a lot of energy of the Archaeological Association in a short period of time. In addition, the relationship between the two parties had previously been cold. The feedback received from Virginia was that it must persist for a period of time. Only time can wait for the professional team dispatched by the Archaeological Association headquarters.

What else could it be?

Just hold on!

At least until the professional team from the Archaeological Association arrives, there must be no big trouble in Thousand Sail City.

Fortunately, Qianfan City is not completely incompetent. It is difficult to solve the current problems. If it is just to delay time, there are still ways.

On the night after the incident in Community No. 7, Bulwer appeared at a press conference held by the Ministry of Police after internal discussions.

“The cause of the ‘soul-seeking’ incident that occurred at the C6 Commercial Street in Community No. 7 last night has not yet been identified, but the possibility cannot be ruled out. Qianfan City has always had the tradition of the Ghost Festival, so it is very possible It was because this traditional festival was held so brilliantly that some special beings noticed Thousand Sails City.”

Looking at the manuscript in his hand, Bulwer kept his expression as solemn as possible, briefly mentioned the possible reasons, and then immediately turned to the focus of this time,

“In order to ensure the safety of the people, Thousand Sail City will close several blocks where strange phenomena have occurred recently. If it is not necessary, please stay at home for the time being and wait until the matter is completely resolved before going out for activities!”

Yes, Bulwer deliberately led the recent events in Thousand Sails City to supernatural events. This was also a decision made after internal discussions within the government.

The reason for this is very simple. Compared with the truth that can easily cause widespread social panic, the rumors uploaded on the Internet have become the acceptable part!

It’s the lesser of two evils. After getting the clear statement from the Archaeological Association that they are willing to help, what the Qianfan City government needs to do now is to delay the deterioration of the situation as much as possible. At this time, it uses the Ghost Festival that has just passed to divert attention. Couldn’t be more appropriate.

As mentioned before, there are not many believers among the people of Thousand Sail City, but most people often hear some ghost stories from the older generation or friends because of the traditional festival of Ghost Festival, and naturally there are more or less Fewer are affected.

Therefore, when Bulwer, the Minister of Security, personally hinted that this rumor was possible, although most people still found it strange, they subconsciously began to recognize this statement as the rumors continued to spread.

Of course, there are also some sober-minded people who think this is pure nonsense. Not only do they not believe the rumors in this regard, but they also believe that there must be some inside story hidden in it.

The problem is that they are only suspicious, and there is no definite evidence. In the end, they have to find the problem from the statement given by the Qianfan City government. The result is needless to say.

Back to business.

Using this somewhat absurd excuse, Bulwer put forward quite a few temporary orders at the press conference. The former was undoubtedly false, but the latter was actually for the sake of the people of Thousand Sails City.

By blocking several special streets, patrolling the entire city at night, and keeping patrol teams on 24-hour standby, etc., Qianfan City has gone all out in order not to repeat the mistakes of Ye City.

But does this really work?

“They plan to delay time in this way, but isn’t this a disguised cover for the Ouroboros organization? It is meaningless to rely on this temporary order without any compulsion. The population base of Thousand Sail City is so large. If the situation deteriorates further, the casualties will only multiply!”

In the private clinic, Gu Yinxing watched the replay of the press conference on TV, with some emotion in her words.

Gu Yingxing has always looked down upon the Qianfan City government. Having experienced despair in lower-class communities, she can understand how powerless ordinary people are in the face of such things.

In the early years when she was working within a human rights organization, she had seen too much of the dirty work of the government. Now that she saw how they were still trying to deceive the people in such a severe situation, she couldn’t help but be filled with righteous indignation.

“This is their matter and we can’t stop it. The president of the Virginia branch should already have a lot of say at this time. Since she agreed to do this, she should have her own reasons. In our current situation, we can only do our best. We may provide some known information so that they can take more precautions.”

Compared with Gu Yinxing’s attention to current affairs, Suzi’s attention was completely focused on the two people on the sofa who still had their eyes closed.

Zhu Jue’s face turned pale as time went by and Ivanka never woke up, which made her have some bad premonitions. After a short silence, she turned to Gu Yinxing and asked: “Zhu Jue mentioned it before. And about what time they will wake up?”

“Sorry, I have no impression. They should now fight Gadamon in the deep world. This is not an easy task and will definitely take a lot of time.”

He raised his left hand and looked at the time. Eight hours had passed since Zhu Jue and Ivanka entered the deep world. With this thought, Gu Yinxing pursed her lips and said.

This reason is not so much to tell Mozi, but to appease his own uneasiness.

The wind chime nestled in Zhu Jue’s arms raised his head and glanced at the two people talking, then stretched out his two paws and stepped back and forth on Zhu Jue’s belly.

It is not in a hurry and never thinks that Zhu Jue will fail.

It has been waiting for five years, so naturally it doesn’t care about this moment.

There will be more later
