Three hours later, twelve o'clock, E District Cemetery.
In the thick darkness of the night, one could hear strange breathing sounds, the sounds of flesh being torn and fighting coming from underground in the silent cemetery. Following the direction of the sounds, one searched downwards and arrived at Unit 0812 Cemetery. One passed by the 17-year-old boy who was sleeping peacefully under his own tombstone No. 26, and passed by the messy 1-14 floors with corpses all over the ground and bloody debris on the walls, and arrived at the 15th floor where Bai Liu and the others were resting during the halftime.
The sleeve of one of Tang Erda's arms was torn, and half of his clothes on his upper body were splattered with blood. He had one arm naked, his lower back against a half-open door, or "incinerator" sliding door, with his head slightly lowered, standing farthest from Bai Liu. He held a hot revolver in one hand and a cigarette between two fingers of the other hand, smoking with his head down with an unclear expression.
The scarlet cigarette butts flickered brightly in the dim blue light.
Liu Jiayi was leaning against the door, with Mu Ke's coat draped over her body. She fell asleep with her head tilted and her body leaning against Mu Ke. Mu Ke squinted his eyes a little, but his back was straight and his posture was proper when he slept. Mu Sicheng didn't care much about it. He just casually pulled an incinerator-style sliding door and lay on it to sleep with his legs spread out.
Bai Liu held the bloody whip in his hand and watched everything calmly with his eyes lowered.
The game prohibits the use of physical recovery agents and mental bleaching agents, so sufficient and appropriate sleep is necessary for everyone to maintain an energetic state.
They cleared all the way down to the 14th floor of the cemetery building, and then reached the 15th floor which was some distance from the ground and had not many remaining monsters. Bai Liu thought this was a relatively safe dangerous place, so he gave an order and began to take turns to guard and sleep.
In such an extremely tiring situation, Bai Liu would usually let him and Tang Er, who had better fighting ability and quality, guard the first half of the night, and let the other three new team members guard the second half of the night after they had enough rest.
After long-term team competition training, Mu Sicheng, Mu Ke and Liu Jiayi have already developed an excellent habit of falling asleep quickly and recovering their energy quickly as long as Bai Liu and Tang Er are on guard, no matter how bad the game environment is. Now, the three of them only need Bai Liu to give the order to rest, and they will all fall asleep in less than five minutes.
But the main attacker who was on guard today was obviously a little absent-minded.
"Captain Tang, what are you thinking about?" Bai Liu asked softly.
Tang Er paused for a moment, then clicked on the system panel and muted the viewing pool before slowly turning his head to look at Bai Liu. "I'm wondering what form this dungeon will take in reality."
Bai Liu readily opened the system panel and clicked mute, then raised his eyes and looked at Tang Erda with a smile: "Captain Tang, are you wondering if the landing method has anything to do with me?"
"I don't know." Tang Er turned his back to Bai Liu and exhaled a puff of smoke, "But according to the information Su Yang told me, the dungeons you have walked through have either already landed in reality or will land in reality in the future."
"I don't know if this is an accidental rule or an inevitable one..." Tang Er paused, "Arrangement."
Tang Erda took a deep puff of his cigarette: "If Sunshine City really lands in reality, it would really be..."
"It doesn't matter if you land. Just find the problem in this dungeon and solve it in real life." Bai Liu said lightly. He looked at Tang Erda straight in the eye. "But Captain Tang, it shouldn't just be this that's troubling you, right? You seem to have been thinking about something since you entered the dungeon. Can you tell me about it?"
"I was wondering if the Sunshine Building where our opponent is located is related to this Sunshine City..." Tang Erda's expression gradually became solemn. "The Bureau of Heresy had explored that area before, and neither the machines nor we detected any heresy at that time."
"But now we all know that the people living in Russell Cemetery are basically all players in the game. For safety reasons, I asked Su Yang to test the heresy value of Sunshine Real Estate again before entering the game."
Tang Erda's eyes turned stern: "This time the heresy value has become extremely abnormal."
"Su Yang is already investigating, but before I entered the game, they hadn't yet found out the heresy in this place. This is very strange."
Tang Erda frowned, "Heretics exist by influencing people. They usually have very obvious characteristics, such as the smell of rose perfume and the swollen shape of the blood ganoderma of the Love Welfare Institute. But the heretics in Sunshine Real Estate were not detected at first, and now they can't be eliminated even if they have been detected."
"This is not what worries me the most." Tang Er raised his head and looked directly at Bai Liu, taking a deep breath. "Last night, Su Yang and his team relocated the residents of the Sunshine Building in order to investigate the matter. They also used this incident to report to their superiors and asked them to apply for temporary housing for these residents, saying that the unfinished building was for heretics who needed to be accommodated, and they wanted the Bureau of Heresy to allocate funds to solve the problem of the unfinished building."
"But as long as the relocated residents signed a consent form to contract out their unfinished houses to the Bureau of Heresy, within two or three hours, they all suffered some degree of unexplained organ failure."
Tang Erda's dark blue eyes looked like a cluster of strange blue flames in the cemetery: "The residents of Sunshine Building are just like the residents of Sunshine City. They are trapped in their houses and cannot leave even if they die."
Reality, sunny property, nine in the morning.
Yellow plastic tape with "Warning Line" written on it surrounded the abandoned building. Many people gathered around the usually deserted unfinished building to watch the excitement. The uniformed personnel of the Bureau of Processing separated the crowd from the unfinished building nervously and shouted at the top of their voices:
"Keep away!"
"There are dangerous items being handled inside! Please keep your distance!"
Su Yang looked exhausted, and walked briskly, covered in dust. The person next to him reported to him quickly:
"They said they could approve funds to deal with unfinished buildings, but the funds may not be enough. The price of this building was too high, over 10 billion. Even if it has become an unfinished building, the management bureau cannot afford to take it in."
The man looked embarrassed: "Soviet, this is just a heresy. Nearly 10 billion yuan is really too much..."
Su Yang, who had not slept all night, pressed his temples hard twice and exhaled the foul air in his chest: "Shouldn't the Heretic Handling Bureau be built as the Fourth and Fifth Bureaus? We can use the money to take over this rotten-finished building, and then use it to transform it into the Fourth and Fifth Bureaus. It will be just right to accommodate the heretics in this rotten-finished building and build a new bureau in one go, killing two birds with one stone."
The man hesitated for a moment: "The money for building a new bureau..."
"Last year, our three teams arrested those heretics and your finance department rented them out. You must have made a lot of profit, right?" Su Yang's light-colored eyes usually looked gentle, but when he looked people in the face without stepping back, there was a sense of questioning that was intimidating without being angry.
"The construction costs of the Fourth and Fifth Bureaus were all paid for by the First Bureau's own profits. When Captain Tang was here, the Third Detachment was the one that arrested the most heretics in the First Bureau and was always the biggest profit maker. Now I want to transfer this money to accommodate heretics. Why, are you using the excuse that your finance department has too much money to spend to perfunctorily deal with me, the current captain of the Third Detachment?"
This man was suppressed by Su Yang's momentum, and the guilt on his face was revealed. He pinched his face and said in a slightly flattering way: "...Captain Su, this kind of large-scale fund transfer of hundreds of billions is only considered seriously because you reported it."
"For example, you said you wanted to use the money for building Bureau 4 and Bureau 5, but this is near the city center. If you build the Bureau of Heresy here, it would be difficult to keep it secret."
Su Yang interrupted him, his expression already showing a bit of coldness: "If not here, where do you want to build it? The job of heresy handling is to contain heretics. Here, heretics gather in densely populated areas, endangering the lives and safety of the surrounding citizens. So, we should give priority to solving the problem and build the Fourth Bureau in this area."
"When the Third Innings was rebuilt, it was built in such a prosperous place. During the construction, I didn't see you say anything. It was just a matter of money. The Third Innings was rebuilt with the money paid by the captain of the Third Innings, Georgia, himself. You didn't have a single word of opinion."
Su Yang said coldly: "The location is just an excuse for you."
"The location is indeed a secondary consideration. It is not impossible to build it here..." The man paused, "That depends on whether you, the Soviet army, can accommodate the heretics in this rotten-finished building before you can say that."
"Without knowing how to contain heretics, we will not approve such a large sum of money no matter what."
Su Yang took a deep breath and swallowed the words that were about to start a quarrel, such as "Didn't our three teams earn this money?" He calmed down and prepared to continue arguing: "This heresy has caused so many people to commit suicide, and people are still dying. If you don't approve this money, can you take responsibility if there are problems later?"
A team member ran over and interrupted Su Yang breathlessly, "Su, Captain Su!"
Su Yang rubbed the root of his nose and raised his hand: "What's the matter? Just say it directly."
The team members looked solemn: "Captain Su, the influence of this heresy seems to be expanding."
Su Yang turned his head abruptly: "What do you mean?"
"Initially, only residents of Yangguang Building were affected. Just now, someone from a nearby community pretended to be a resident of Yangguang Building and wanted us to help him with the house demolition and relocation so that he could get compensation." The team member smiled bitterly, "Because it was so chaotic, the staff didn't see it clearly and just did it for him."
"He was fine before, but just now, he suddenly collapsed, as if the flesh and fat inside his body were sucked out by something, leaving only a piece of human skin hanging on bones."
"Is the person still alive?" Su Yang asked quickly.
The team member took a deep breath and said, "He has been sent to the hospital, but he is still alive."
Su Yang suddenly realized something, and his eyes sharpened: "Where does he live?"
"It's in an old residential area about 300 meters away from Yangguang Building." The team member had just finished speaking when his communicator rang. He picked up the phone and said a few words quickly, looking at Su Yang with an unpleasant expression, "Just now, a vacant person from a residential area 500 meters away came to cheat compensation and got screwed."
"Soviet army, the influence of this heresy is still expanding! Anyone who moves out of here will be killed!"
Su Yang exhaled a breath of foul air and quickly ordered: "Move all their houses back first to see if it can alleviate the situation. Quickly!"
Then he turned around and looked at the slightly stunned finance official with a cold gaze: "Fifteen minutes, I want to see the money approved."
