191 Give Up
◎They launched the A-level program for the entire district◎
There's no such thing as 20% pure land in the world; all land is polluted. Zhu Ning and Huo Wenxi only glimpsed a small part of it; there must be a lot more of it outside the wall.
Zhu Ning is a person from the lower class. The world she knows has been deliberately concealed by the First District. So what is the truth of the world?
Huo Wenxi shook his head. "I don't know. Humanity was originally very curious, so they sent out the Old Ones investigators to find the truth left behind by the Old World and put an end to the pollution."
"I don't know if you haven't heard this idea. It sounds naive now, but back then, many people believed that the entire world was a vast polluted area with a core source. If we could find that core source, the world would be purified."
Zhu Ning asked, "Is it true?"
If so, where is the core source of pollution?
Huo Wenxi smiled bitterly: "Who knows?"
"Human exploration activities reached their peak during the first thirty years. At that time, people were very keen to travel outside and often brought back news about the outside world. However, they soon discovered that the information they brought was useless."
Huo Wenxi: "Investigation activities have almost stopped in the past two years."
It's hard to pinpoint the exact reason. Did someone in Area 1 try to stop them? Or perhaps the investigation proved fruitless, and humanity simply gave up.
They gave the land to pollutants and created so-called gods.
When a race begins to believe in supernatural things on a large scale, it is basically finished.
Even if the end of the world comes and a meteorite falls on their heads, they will still shout loudly for miracles.
Because of extreme desperation, people worship the pollutants below as gods.
Zhu Ning asked, "Did you report the news?"
Huo Wenxi's position is the head of the investigation team. She will definitely report the news to the headquarters. In such a serious situation, how will the First District react?
Although asking the First Military Region to send troops to suppress the rebellion sounds like a fantasy, any support would be good at this time. Even if there is no military support, revealing intelligence is a good thing.
This information is just a trivial matter to the upper class in the Kingdom of God, but to the people in District 103, it is life-saving information.
Now there is a huge monster below. Should ordinary people enter the refuge fortress?
Huo Wenxi: "I reported to District One before I came here. According to insider information, they will initiate the A-level procedure for the entire district. If you have relatives you want to send away, I suggest you let them go now."
A-level program for the entire region? Zhu Ning was stunned for a moment before she understood what this meant. She had only experienced an A-level program once, which was the mechanical oceanarium.
The initiator that time was Xuan Qing, who set up a countdown, activated the protective shield, and handed over control of his body to Prometheus. After that, the interior blew up, and all the people still in the aquarium were abandoned.
If this program were expanded district-wide...
Zhu Ning had seen a high wall with an arc-shaped cover on top before. At that time, they explained that if an accident happened, they would activate a program to seal off Area 103 to prevent the invasion of pollutants.
It now seems that the protective shield was not intended to prevent external pollution from invading the interior, but to prevent internal pollutants from spreading out.
Huo Wenxi said grimly, "The entire area's protective shield will be closed, and all federal agencies will be evacuated. The garrison troops, security departments, and fire departments have been notified in advance and have been leaving in droves since noon today. Area 103 has been abandoned."
Without even any resistance, he just left so easily.
Huo Wenxi: "The news was revealed online."
As soon as Zhu Ning woke up, he saw Huo Wenxi and didn't even have time to check on the secondary computer.
When I opened my secondary brain at this time, I found that the Internet was in chaos, because there was no definite news, only rumors.
On social media, messages popped up like crazy: "Is something going to happen? All those damn rich people suddenly ran away."
"Our company suddenly closed for holiday, and I'm having trouble adapting."
"The harbor is full of people. Where are they going?"
"Hahahaha, then I'll just wait to die. I won't run, whoever wants to run can run."
Zhu Ning only slept for a while. She knew it might not be good, but she didn't expect it to be so bad. Rumors were everywhere, but for the first time, the rumors seemed so unimaginative in the face of reality, not even as big as a finger of pollutants below.
Zhu Ning asked, "Where are the rest of the people?"
Huo Wenxi: "The news leaked out, but most people didn't react in time. Some tried to leave, but couldn't buy tickets. Passes are hard to come by. The problem is, the port will close at 6 pm tomorrow, which is one of the few remaining escape windows."
Zhu Ning had seen pollutants before, and she had seen such terrifying things, but none of them were as harsh as Huo Wenxi's words.
Zhu Ning used to be one of those defective products who lived in the garbage mountain, and he knew what would happen to them if they faced such a situation.
They really didn't even know how they died.
Huo Wenxi continued: "The port will be closed tomorrow, and even I won't have the right to leave then."
Zhu Ning turned off his secondary brain, rubbed his brows, and asked a key question: "Where are the other people in the cleaning center?"
At this time, every extra person helping means a better chance of success. How many people are willing to stay and fight pollutants voluntarily?
"I don't know. I'll make a public report tomorrow." Huo Wenxi paused. "Believe me, the situation will be even more chaotic than you think."
Once the protective shield is put on, it is equivalent to all forces being locked in the same arena. They don't know where an arrow will come from. Not to mention finding their companions, they won't even know how they died.
If human society is usually civilized and orderly, now is like the beginning of turning off the lights. Once the button of civilization is turned off, Area 103 will enter a truly dark moment.
Zhu Ning looked at Huo Wenxi and saw the same emotion in her eyes. This was a very desperate struggle.
Zhu Ning asked, "Does District One know the truth?"
Huo Wenxi: "At least my family knows."
Unfortunately, Huo Wenxi failed the family test, and her action was almost equivalent to betraying the Huo family.
Huo Wenxi was once the glory of the family, but she did not stand with the family when making a critical choice.
The Huo family knew it, and the Lu family knew it too. The upper class knew how the world worked, and only the lower class still lived in ignorance.
It's so unfair. Money and status are unfair, and even information is so unfair. People at the bottom may not even know how they died.
Judging from the attitude revealed by District 1, they already knew that District 103 would be destroyed. Why?
Is this some kind of deal between them and the pollutants?
Or is this some kind of ritual, or even more terrifying, is it the breeding of pollutants?
"Zhu Ning," Huo Wenxi reminded her, "Even though I'm working with you, our chances of winning are probably less than 5%."
They are simply gambling, using all their strength to bet on the most unlikely possibility.
But if this crisis is truly prevented, proving that pollution is not irreversible, and all land is polluted, District 103's victory will represent the first time humans have successfully reclaimed polluted land.
If they succeed, they will find the key to purifying the entire world.
This is the real reason why Huo Wenxi is willing to cooperate with Zhu Ning.
She was betting five percent, just as Zhu Ning said, to interrupt the divine descent and find the source of pollution before it formed. If this approach was feasible, she would devote all her resources to the bet.
Now is the eve of chaos. Zhu Ning rubbed his eyebrows and tried his best to stay calm in the turmoil.
She carefully counted the clues she had. With less than six days until the end of the world, time was running out.
There are still some mysteries they haven't solved, such as the biggest question: what is the mechanical oceanarium used for? What exactly happened to the Yongsheng Pharmaceutical Foundation?
Zhu Ning raised his eyes to look at Huo Wenxi, "Commander, I have some requests."
Huo Wenxi found it very interesting to hear the commander. Zhu Ning really put her in a high position with just one sentence, making it impossible for her to refuse.
Huo Wenxi: "You say."
Under the current circumstances, if Zhu Ning wants the stars in the sky, Huo Wenxi will consider it.
Zhu Ning: "There are still five days left. I want to enter the Yongsheng Pharmaceutical Foundation in Area 103."
This time, Huo Wenxi doesn't need to send an investigator. Zhu Ning will go there personally to find the connection between the Recovery Society and the pollutants.
At the same time as the Mechanical Oceanarium incident occurred, something also happened to the Eternal Life Pharmaceutical Foundation, and it may be difficult for them to completely erase all traces.
Zhu Ning couldn't enter the Yongsheng Pharmaceutical Foundation alone, so Huo Wenxi had to step in.
The owner of the house once reminded Huo Wenxi that the day was the last chance to visit the mechanical aquarium, but Huo Wenxi missed it.
Huo Wenxi: "If there's something else in there, the Foundation is very likely a trap."
Zhu Ning immediately responded: "Only by walking into the trap can you know the truth."
They knew too little information. In a war, effective information was very important, and they could not be completely ignorant of the enemy.
Huo Wenxi didn't hesitate, "I will arrange for you, someone will become your teammate."
It is true that it is good to cling to someone powerful. Zhu Ning is almost regarded as a devil, and even his teammates are in this extreme situation.
Zhu Ning thought about it and made a second request, "By the way, can you help me check the Cheetah Team?"
"Cheetah Team?" Huo Wenxi obviously felt that these three words were unfamiliar.
When the Cheetah Team had the accident, Huo Wenxi was only sixteen years old and had never been to a cleaning center.
By the time she entered the center, the information had already been hidden.
Zhu Ning: "Nine years ago, the Cheetah Team received a mission to secretly investigate Yongsheng Pharmaceutical, but the mission was erased and one of their team members died. To this day, some are still searching for his whereabouts."
Zhu Ning didn't say who the team members were, but Huo Wenxi heard it and asked, "Is Xu Meng investigating this?"
Zhu Ning's eyelids twitched. Huo Wenxi was really perceptive.
Zhu Ning accidentally sold Xu Meng out.
Huo Wenxi: "Very good, you even answered my last question."
She had long felt that there was something wrong with Xu Meng.
Xu Meng's information had been specially processed. When Huo Wenxi investigated Xu Meng, it was only shown that she was a laid-off demon hunter, and key information was covered up.
Zhu Ning had promised to share all the information, and now that he had said it, he could only continue: "The demon hunter carrying out the mission for the Cheetah Team is called Cheng Mofei. He infiltrated Yongsheng Pharmaceutical and sent half of the information to his superiors. The remaining half of the information is locked, and Xu Meng is trying to find a way to unlock it."
Zhu Ning paused. "I suspect Cheng Mofei knew the truth nine years ago. He tried to report it to the higher-ups at the cleaning center, but he died as a result."
Zhu Ning had said before, if a person knew the end of the world in advance, how could he report it safely?
If ordinary people come into contact with secrets that are too horrifying, the only outcome is death.
Huo Wenxi frowned, "You really know how to find things for me to do."
The question raised by Zhu Ning is very valuable, and Huo Wenxi will go back and start from this aspect.
If we find out why the Cheetah Team had trouble back then, we can figure out who the traitor in the cleaning center is, and maybe we will make some new discoveries.
Huo Wenxi: "If there was a mistake in the mission back then, I would correct it and tell them not to worry, but maybe they don't care."
Zhu Ning didn't say it, but Huo Wenxi guessed the current situation of the Cheetah team members. The justice that the Cheetah team has been waiting for for so long may come.
After Huo Wenxi intervenes, at least a complete investigation report on Cheng Mofei will be issued, and there will be no death without evidence.
I wish Ning would believe her.
Huo Wenxi stood up and put on her gloves again. She was going to rush to the cleaning center immediately.
Zhu Ning: "Shall I go with you?"
Huo Wenxi turned around and looked at her: "Do you want to die?"
Zhu Ning was silent.
Huo Wenxi: "The rumors about you are getting more and more outrageous. There are people lining up to kill you. Be careful and don't show up until I notify you. Get some rest."
Zhu Ning is a "garbage purifier", and Huo Wenxi must ensure the safety of this rare machine.
"Commander." Huo Wenxi was about to leave when Zhu Ning suddenly called her.
Huo Wenxi turned around and Zhu Ning said, "If we find the source of the pollution, we still have a chance."
In order to infect the entire area, there must be a source of pollution. They will find clues within a limited time, deduce all the answers, and ultimately kill the source of pollution.
The logic still applies, and the opponent has always been the pollutant.
Zhu Ning firmly believed in this, and it was the cornerstone of their alliance.
Huo Wenxi asked: "Are you comforting me?"
Zhu Ning: "Is it?"
Huo Wenxi: "Thank you for your comfort."
Huo Wenxi took out a very flat box from his coat pocket and placed it in front of Zhu Ning. "This is your reward."
award?
"Someone will come to pick you up at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Huo Wenxi said this and left, leaving Zhu Ning alone in the room.
After Huo Wenxi left, the room seemed empty and quiet. Zhu Ning opened the box and found two chips inside.
Pass.
Huo Wenxi gave her two passes, and Zhu Ning let her see Lin Xiaofeng and Song Zhizhang, so she would take care of Zhu Ning's rear.
