Chapter 492 Chapter 494 Return
Many doctors, nurses and healthy patients in the school hospital were standing outside in panic. When they felt the ground shaking had stopped, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Xianxian hurried over, and Xuanxuan found her in the crowd and ran towards her excitedly.
Although the shaking of the ground has stopped temporarily, no one knows whether there will be aftershocks or the next wave. There are still some patients with limited mobility in the hospital. The person in charge of the school hospital sent a message to the school leaders, had some exchanges, and then organized the doctors and nurses to return to the ward.
Soon, a piece of news was played on the player in the school's communication room. According to the National Geological Survey, a magnitude 7 earthquake occurred in the eastern waters more than 1,300 kilometers away from Beijing, with a focal depth of 120 kilometers. The earthquake had a medium-sized epicenter and was far away, so it did not damage the ground buildings in the Beijing safety zone. There was no need to panic.
In the conference room, the big guys who were just discussing the natural energy awakeners have now changed the topic.
"Minister Chi, geological disasters are happening more and more frequently. How long will it take for a large-scale natural disaster to break out?" asked the vice chairman of the United Front Work Committee, who had remained silent.
Chi Lai'an, Minister of Industry and Engineering, sighed, "I want to know too! Geological experts each have their own opinions and cannot determine the time. However, meteorologists have given a clear time. In six or seven days, most parts of the country will experience heavy rain, or even torrential rain. The precipitation intensity cannot be assessed." After the end of the world, communications were cut off, satellites failed, and cloud maps sent back by meteorological satellites could not be received. Weather forecasting became difficult. Meteorological experts used telescopes of different distances and models and accumulated meteorological knowledge to re-master the method of predicting weather conditions and gradually explored a new way, but it was ultimately not as convenient and accurate as before.
"Will the heavy rain cause floods?" Vice President Ji asked with some concern.
"When the safety zones were first created, most of the regional heads received instructions from the central government not to establish the safety zones in low-lying areas, so there shouldn't be too many problems. Moreover, when encountering such special weather changes, people from the Meteorological Bureau will convey the situation in a timely manner," said Minister Chi Lai'an of the Ministry of Engineering.
"That's good. The recent frequent natural disasters have made people feel uneasy. Everyone has endless official business to deal with. As for the matter of the awakeners, since there is a disagreement today, let's discuss it later!" Vice President Ji said hello and hurriedly cut off the connection.
The other eight screens also gradually went dark.
In the office of the Minister of Science and Technology, Yan Cheng looked at the investigation report of the Feilong Academy 319 explosion case issued by the Criminal Investigation Department, "Does that mean that the hypnotist might be from the Intelligence Bureau?"
"Yes, it's a pity that the Criminal Investigation Department doesn't dare to continue investigating." Staff Officer Xu beside Yan Cheng said with some regret.
"Is there any movement from Rong Xianxian's side?" Yan Cheng asked.
"She has left the school with her child and looks calm," replied Staff Officer Xu.
Yan Cheng pushed the chair away and stood up. "Give orders to keep an eye on Rong Xianxian's actions and report to me if you find anything."
"Minister, I don't quite understand. Are you worried about what she might do? Cause trouble?" asked Staff Officer Xu.
"The minister is probably worried that she will come to Zishu for help. After all, before Ning Qingyun left the capital, Zishu went to meet the couple. Rong Xianxian doesn't know many people in the capital. If she is not satisfied with the outcome of the case, she might turn her attention to Zishu." Secretary Luan, who was sorting documents, spoke up.
Yan Cheng did not speak. A place like the Intelligence Bureau cannot be exposed to the public. The case has already reached its limit at this point. Even if Rong Xianxian is not satisfied, there is no way to pursue it further. Neither the Intelligence Bureau nor the Criminal Investigation Department are under his jurisdiction. It is against the rules to cross the line and interfere in this matter.
Just then, "bang bang bang," someone knocked on the door.
When Staff Officer Xu opened the door, he saw the Yan Zishu they had mentioned earlier.
"Father, I just got the news that Qingyun is back, and he brought back a dead blood tree. It has now been taken to the Pharmaceutical Research Institute. I plan to go over and take a look." Yan Zishu said excitedly as soon as he entered the door!
"The dead blood tree? The dead blood tree in the dead forest in the northern plain of Yancheng?" Yan Cheng asked in surprise.
There is no way out of the dead blood tree. Both official expedition teams were killed in it. The civilian group that received the mission to find the dead blood tree has no idea how many people have been killed. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, the dead blood tree mission was adjusted to a five-star hidden mission, and the mission reward is also exceptionally generous.
"Except there, where else can you find the dead blood tree? The professors and experts from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research and the Institute of Mutant Plants have already rushed there. This is a dead blood tree with a complete root system. They plan to plant this tree in the botanical garden in the backyard of the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research to see if the tree can still survive?" Yan Zishu was a little excited.
"The distance from Yancheng to Beijing is long. Even if the soil is protected and the root system is intact, it may not be possible to grow the plants. Those professors at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research are really bold." Yan Cheng shook his head.
"Father, this is a mutant plant. Mutated plants usually have strong vitality. I think the dead blood tree can definitely survive."
"Minister, I have read the documents about the dead tree forest. The dead tree forest is notorious. This dead blood tree is definitely not a good thing. If this dead blood tree is really planted and survives, will there be any danger?" Staff Officer Xu said worriedly.
How did the dangerous place like the dead forest come into being? Is the formation process related to the dead blood tree? These things are unknown. Staff Officer Xu believes that rashly planting dead blood trees may face unknown risks.
After hearing what his son and Staff Officer Xu said, Minister Yan Cheng, who had originally not taken the matter seriously, couldn't help but take it seriously. "Staff Officer Xu, please call Director Fan of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute and ask him to set up a defense network at the botanical garden to ensure the safety of the staff." Those experts and professors have been committed to scientific research for a long time and their physical fitness is average. If they encounter danger, they may only be able to sit and wait for death.
"Zishu, this tree was brought back by Ning Qingyun. In order to prevent unknown risks, please ask him to help with the defense work in the first two days. An additional remuneration can be paid when exchanging the task reward." The Pharmaceutical Research Institute is a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Science and Technology and is under the direct jurisdiction of Minister Yan Cheng. He does not want any accidents to happen.
"Father, don't worry, I'll be there right away." Yan Zishu was eager to see Ning Qingyun and ask him how he completed this difficult task.
