Chapter 677 I Am in Charge Here [5000 Monthly Vote Please]

When people are in despair, if they see any glimmer of hope, they will regard it as a life-saving straw.

For Xiyan City, Lin Mo is now the life-saving straw.

The leadership team here in Xiyan City had prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Nightmare Disaster Command Headquarters a few months ago. Of course, this Disaster Command Headquarters is an organization led by the General Administration to coordinate various departments to respond to the Nightmare Crisis.

As a small third- and fourth-tier city, Xiyan City does not receive any tilted resources from above. Even the local security bureau is staffed by some people from the city bureau. It can be imagined how capable it is of dealing with nightmares. Difference.

They started to separate nightmares a few months ago, but the progress has been so slow that less than 30% of the city's nightmare separations have been completed.

I thought it could be delayed for a while longer, but who would have thought that the nightmare would come as soon as possible, and the warning time issued by the command headquarters was only one hour.

What can you do in an hour?

Now all the officials, big and small, feel like they are being roasted on the fire.

There will definitely be casualties and losses, the difference is big and very big.

Previously, precise deployment could be carried out based on the pollution zone divisions updated daily by the General Administration, that is, people would be evacuated from places where pollution may occur and concentrated in safe areas.

This trick is not only used in Xiyan City, but also in other places.

But ultimately, this is a way to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

When the nightmare really comes, where is the safe zone?

Like a rock completely submerged by the tide, there is no place to stay.

Once everyone is instantly contaminated, a lot of nightmares will occur as soon as they sleep. By then, God knows what will happen.

The worst case scenario may be that Xiyan City ceases to exist.

Just when they were struggling, they happened to hear that a team leader-level expert from the General Administration was currently in Xiyan City. What was this if not a life-saving straw? They knew each other immediately and rushed over immediately.

Of course, Xiao Du and the others can't really be blamed for this matter.

Mainly because they met the director on the road.

The director asked them where they had gone. People were crushed to death at the top level of the government. Xiao Du and the others had no choice but to report truthfully. If the director knew, the mayor and secretary would also know, which is why we are in this situation.

Lin Mo was surrounded by this group of people, and he didn't know what they were going to do.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Let's be clear. I'm just passing through Xiyan City. After my friend wakes up, he has to rush back to Qianlong City immediately. What do you want to do? Tell me directly. During this time, what can I do? It will definitely help.”

Lin Mo has always been outspoken and doesn't like to hide things.

He could guess with his toes what the leaders of Xiyan City, big and small, came over to do.

To be honest, Lin Mo also understood their difficulties, but he still said the same thing.

Individual strength cannot reverse the overall situation.

No matter how powerful Lin Mo is, he can save a hundred, a thousand, or even tens of thousands of people, but can he save millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people?

impossible.

Superman can't do it either.

So he wanted to see what the leaders of Xiyan City planned to do.

If the other party makes some excessive and unrealistic demands, Lin Mo can only tell the other party that there is nothing he can do to help.

"Expert Lin, I'm really sorry to disturb you. We actually have nothing to do. In this situation, casualties are inevitable. All we can do is to rescue as many citizens as possible, as many as we can."

It was the mayor who spoke.

It can be seen that the other person is less than fifty years old, but half of his hair is gray.

"What are your plans?" Lin Mo asked.

"Use isolation belts to separate relatively safe areas, and recruit capable people from citizens to guard their homes." What the mayor said is also one of the many response strategies devolved to local governments by the General Administration. The specific choice is determined by It's up to the local people to decide.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Take charge of the overall situation!"

"Don't bullshit me, tell me I can understand."

"I'm not joking. I just want you to take charge of the overall situation. To put it bluntly, you are helping us guide the situation. We have limited capabilities and lack of experience. We really can't handle emergencies."

"Fine!"

Lin Mo agreed.

This kind of thing is still within his ability, and Fatty also needs a period of time to cultivate, at least the infusion must be completed. During this period of time, it is okay to assist Xiyan City in responding to this crisis.

Lin Mo originally planned to leave Ya Gui in the hospital.

In this way, there are tooth ghosts guarding the door and hair, plus the fat man himself is very clever and has rich experience in surviving in the nightmare world, so there will be no problems.

Lin Mo talked to Fatty about this matter in his dream, originally asking him to wait in the hospital, but Fatty said he wanted to go too.

"My body needs to recuperate. In the nightmare world, I am as strong as a liger. If you take me there, I will definitely be able to help." The fat man volunteered.

Lin Mo was right.

Compared with others, Fatty can be considered a semi-expert.

At this time, one more person can help more.

Lin Mo agreed.

But the fat man had to walk through the nightmare world, twist his hair into a rope, tie it around the tooth ghost's neck, and let the fat man hold it. In this way, no nightmare would dare to stop him.

The quarantine zone in Xiyan City was not far away. Lin Mo told Fatty the general direction and asked him to walk there by himself. Lin Mo followed the mayor and director and took a car there.

The police cars clearing the way can be said to be mighty.

Xiyan City is not big. It only takes more than 20 minutes to drive from east to west if there is no traffic jam.

The population is one to two million.

There was no one on the street at first, but you could see that almost all the houses had their lights on. If you didn’t know better, you would have thought it was eight or nine o’clock in the evening.

In fact, it was already half past two in the morning.

Further forward, you can see a long queue.

It must be five or six kilometers.

Tweeters can be heard to maintain order.

"These are the people who are preparing to enter the quarantine area. Even if we don't have enough manpower, we must complete the nightmare separation. Otherwise, the mortality rate for ordinary people when they first enter the nightmare world is more than 90%."

In the car, the city bureau chief said.

He is also the director of the local security bureau. It can be said that in this special period, his power and influence are greater than those of the mayor and secretary.

Lin Mo asked how they separated the nightmare.

"We have an action team, twelve people, now divided into two groups, carrying out nightmare separation at the same time. In fact, it has been going on for a while, but the progress is very slow, and there was an accident two days ago, and one person was sacrificed. Team members.”

The city bureau chief looked distressed.

Obviously every member of the action team was his treasure, and losing one of them was as painful as having a piece of flesh dug out.

Lin Mo nodded. It was important to establish an isolation zone at this stage, but it was also important to separate the nightmare.

How many days can most people go without sleep?

If you are extremely sleepy and have to sleep, you will immediately have nightmares.

If the nightmare is not separated, controlled, exiled or destroyed, then the nightmare will attack everyone around it.

This is just a nightmare.

If there are more than a dozen people falling asleep at once, or hundreds, or thousands of people, the scene is not something that a mere action team can handle.

At that time, it will be a horrific massacre.

The people queuing up outside were citizens dragging their families with them, and there was a long queue. Among them were elderly people and children lying in strollers.

Men, women, countless faces, carrying nightmares and fear of the unknown.

Lin Mo knew that on this night, everyone in the world was the same. A terrible fate was imposed on everyone. No matter how rich you were, no matter how poor you were, at this moment, there was no difference.

What needs to be faced still needs to be faced.

Of course, this is the thought of ignorant people. People like Lin Mo knew that the elites had already carried out safe nightmare separation through various channels. There was almost no danger for them at such a night.

Even people from different regions face different fates tonight.

In some core cities, the speed and proportion of nightmare separation are faster because there are more resources and more expert team members to ensure the safety of the core city.

Isn't it fair?

nonsense.

The so-called fairness at any time is relative. It is easy to level a bowl of water, but it is impossible to level a hundred or a thousand bowls at the same time.

Fairness is like peace and beauty.

It has been something that human beings yearn for and a goal they pursue since ancient times.

It is because they are so precious that they can only be encountered but not sought. Even if they are encountered, they will inevitably wither after blooming, just like flowers.

This is the truth of human society.

Only when there is a lack of beautiful things will we yearn for and pursue them, but beauty does not always exist.

But this matter has to be considered relatively.

Compared with other places outside China, I can only say that the scenery here is uniquely better.

Hell on earth, water and fire cannot describe other places, just like the White Eagle Kingdom that Lin Mo has been to. That place has already entered the 'Doomsday Era', or did they enter on their own initiative? Do you think it's strange?

At least, in a place like Xiyan City, there are still a group of people trying their best to help the citizens.

The police car cleared the way, and Lin Mo and the others quickly entered the quarantine area.

Here, a special barbed wire fence is used to encircle an area of ​​about five or six square kilometers.

It doesn't feel like it's very useful, but it's better than nothing.

It is impossible for Xiyan City to build a safe zone like first- and second-tier cities, but people cannot wait to die, so use whatever method you can think of.

A living person cannot be choked to death by urinating.

The quarantine area is for people to rest and sleep, so all the buildings and residences here have been requisitioned. Even the roads are paved with tents, and there is a stadium in front of it, which is also filled with beds.

Basically, the entire city's police force is deployed here to maintain order.

There is a building at the entrance. People enter in batches and perform nightmare separation inside.

Lin Mo watched outside for a while and found that the speed was very slow.

According to this rhythm, working around the clock, day and night, it would be impossible to separate everyone in a month.

Can anyone survive a month without sleeping?

It's obviously impossible.

Since he agreed to help, Lin Mo couldn't take advantage of the situation, and he couldn't back down when it was time to make suggestions.

"Go and have a look first."

Lin Mo took the lead and walked in.

There are several temporary treatment rooms inside. Those who arrive in the queue need to enter the treatment room alone, and then take special drugs to fall asleep. After falling asleep, the nightmare will be dealt with by the action team members in the nightmare world.

This set of procedures was piloted in Qianlong and Tunjing City before, and after a certain amount of experience was accumulated, it was promoted to other places.

The effect is good.

Security is also high.

But the efficiency is too low.

The speed of nightmare separation is directly linked to the ability of the personnel handling it.

If the ability of handling personnel is strong, it will be fast; if the ability of handling personnel is poor, it will naturally be slow.

You can't see anything in the real world, you have to go into a dream to see it.

The mayor of Xiyan City over there shook his head at this time and said that he had not yet carried out the nightmare separation, so he would not go in yet.

It could be seen that the mayor had been working for several days and was not in good condition. What surprised Lin Mo was that the other party did not separate the nightmare immediately.

"It's okay, I'll help you."

After saying that, Lin Mo closed his eyes and fell asleep.

To separate a single person from a nightmare, Lin Mo's strength was really overkill, so he didn't take it seriously at all. He didn't even need to go into the disposal room and took care of the matter outside.

After falling asleep, Lin Mo opened his eyes.

Others can't fall asleep as quickly as he does, and may have to use drugs.

Lin Mo had to wait for a while.

At this moment, someone shouted from behind: "Who are you? Who let you in?"

The voice was stern and questioning.

Lin Mo turned around and saw a young man in uniform with a red armband.

Apparently he is a member of the Xiyan City Security Bureau Action Team.

Behind the other party stood a black figure, a nightmare in the form of a ghost.

Black threads connected the young man, which seemed a bit disconnected.

Obviously, this young action team member can control the ghost behind him, which is an ability of the opponent. Lin Mo is well-informed and has seen similar situations before. This was an accidental phenomenon. At first, the evil ghost should have wanted to kill the young man, but failed for some unknown reason.

As a result, the young man and the evil ghost became a symbiosis.

A situation like this requires that person to have enough willpower to overcome and control the negative effects caused by the ghost, or to suppress the ghost forcibly and use the ghost as a tool, or to reach some kind of agreement with the ghost to let the other party help solve the problem.

However, this situation is completely based on luck, just like winning the lottery. After all, in most cases, being attacked by a ghost will lead to death.

At this moment, the director of Xiyan City Bureau also came in. The young man saw the director coming and hurriedly came over to salute.

"Hello, Director!"

"Xiao Wang, come on, let me introduce you. This is Expert Lin from the General Administration. Expert Lin. This is the captain of our Xiyan City Branch Action Team, Wang Dalong!"

When the young man opposite heard that Lin Mo was an expert from the General Administration, he suddenly became awe-struck, saluted quickly, and walked over.

Not far away are several disposal rooms. Through the iron fence, you can see the operation team members working on nightmare separation inside. Because it was a temporary treatment room, it was just an ordinary room and iron bars were installed on the windows for protection.

To put it bluntly, this kind of disposal room can stop ordinary nightmares, such as weak killer nightmares. If it encounters ghosts and other types of nightmares, it may not be able to prevent them.

At this moment, in a treatment room, a woman had just appeared. She should be a citizen who had just fallen asleep.

The woman was dressed fashionably, but at the moment she looked frightened.

There are three team members in the disposal room.

One was holding a gun, another was holding a blast shield, and another was holding a knife.

"No. 1786, please stand still and wait for the staff to conduct safety inspections." The gun-wielding team member inside said.

The number 1786 should be the number for citizens. According to the requirements of the General Administration, nightmare separation needs to be recorded. The specific situation of the nightmare is recorded. This is to prevent the occurrence of high-level nightmares and facilitate tracing the source.

The woman in the treatment room really didn't dare to move, but now she was very scared and was shaking all over.

She felt a little cold behind her.

Want to look back.

"Don't look back, squat down." A team member saw a ghost standing behind the woman and immediately shouted.

The woman was so frightened that she hurriedly squatted down.

The ghost behind her was about to take action.

At this time, a gunshot rang out.

Boom!

The bullet pierced the ghost's body.

A stream of black energy gushes out from the ghost's wound.

"Keep shooting," shouted the team member holding a blast shield next to him.

Boom boom boom!

Three shots in a row.

There are a few more gun holes in the ghost's body, and more black energy comes out of them.

The player with the knife will go up and chop at this time.

The ghost's head was chopped off and fell to the ground, turning into a pool of foul-smelling blood, and its body began to rot.

"solved!"

The three team members in the disposal room all breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Dalong, the captain outside, and the director of the city bureau were obviously very satisfied with this result. The three team members cooperated and successfully helped a citizen complete the nightmare separation.

Although Lin Mo felt that this method was more risky, he didn't say anything at this time.

These team members are safe because they have equipment distributed by the General Administration, guns and knives that can damage nightmares. In addition, they are lucky. All they encounter are nightmares below D level, which are relatively weak. If you encounter a C-level one, the situation may be different.

Just at this moment, the mayor came in.

This is the first time that the opponent has entered the nightmare world, so he will also have nightmares accordingly.

"Mayor Liu?" Wang Dalong was a little surprised, but he was even more surprised that the mayor did not enter the disposal room according to the rules. This was outside, and if something happened, no one could control it.

And at this time, everyone present saw a strange face sticking out from behind the mayor, staring at them fiercely.

The mayor entered the nightmare world for the first time. Before he could realize what was going on, he saw Lin Mo walking towards him.

Suddenly he reached out and pulled someone from behind him.

Everything happened so fast that no one could react.

When he came to his senses, Lin Mo was already squeezing the neck of a terrifying corpse and asking it if it wanted to die or live.

Everyone was stunned to see this scene.

"You're really ugly. I'll give you three seconds to think about whether you want to die or live. If you want to live, just nod. If you don't understand, pretend I didn't say anything." After Lin Mo finished speaking, he really counted down to three, two, and one.

On the count of two, the corpse nodded violently.

"Want to live? It's good. It's a wise choice. Come on, show me your talents."

Lin Mo let go of the other person's neck at this time.

It was only then that everyone saw the appearance of the corpse clearly. It was pale and bloodless, the upper body was naked, the skin was a dead white color, and blood vessels could be seen, but the blood vessels were black.

It was as if black blood was flowing in his veins.

It could be seen that the corpse seemed to have some stage fright, while Lin Mo showed the other party what talent was.

Finally, the corpse seemed to understand, and then it opened its arms, starting from its throat to its lower abdomen, and a huge gash opened directly, like a terrifying, erect mouth.

It was full of sharp teeth, of different lengths, and there were threads pulling between them, and a few tongues were wriggling inside.

This scene directly frightened several people present.

Even Wang Dalong, the operations captain of the local branch, gasped.

What kind of monster is this?

He couldn't help but hold the gun, so nervous that his fingers were a little stiff.

"Very good, your talent is good. It's up to you. You go to that room, and you will do the nightmare separation work in that room. Dalong, let your people come out, rest, and let him do the rest. .”

"Ah, this..."

Not to mention Wang Dalong, the mayor and director were also dumbfounded.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that from now on, all work here will be directed by me!"
