In Xigou Village, in the two-story building of the Mo family, the fat man shivered and opened the toilet door a crack.

He admitted that he was a coward.

But it’s not his fault, this place is too weird.

One was that he was injured, and now his face was swollen like a pig's head, and he couldn't even recognize himself in the mirror. Another was that he had to protect Lin Mo who was dreaming.

More than ten hours have passed since Lin Mo fell asleep.

No matter how hard you try you can't wake him up.

Based on Fatty's experience, something must have gone wrong.

In a situation like this, he must ensure Lin Mo's safety.

The fat man almost fainted several times before. His whole head and face were burning and painful. Later, he lost consciousness and felt numb. His mouth was out of control and he kept drooling. He couldn't stop it. Fortunately, he was very strong and managed to get through it. When he felt sleepy, he would run a cold tap over his head or pinch his thighs.

Looking out through the crack in the door, it was pitch black outside.

It is already midnight, and the fat man doesn't know how long he has to wait, but he knows that no matter how long it takes, he has to wait.

As a result, at this moment, the fat man felt someone patted him from behind.

At that moment, it was as if I had touched the power switch. I became so excited that my legs went limp and I collapsed to the ground.

I want to scream, but I can't.

"Fatty?"

This is Lin Mo's voice.

After hearing this, the fat man finally breathed a sigh of relief, but now his heart was pounding and he kept patting his chest to hold his breath.

Lin Mo guessed that he had just scared the fat man.

There’s a saying that goes, “People can scare people to death.”

After taking a breath, the fat man finally recovered.

"Brother Lin, are you awake?" the fat man asked.

Lin Mo nodded.

"You, you scared me to death. I almost fainted just now." The fat man stared, but because his face was so swollen, it looked like just a crack.

Lin Mo was quite embarrassed because he didn't recognize the fat man at first.

Having regained his past memories, under the guidance of Mo Wenting, Lin Mo successfully walked out of the maze.

The escape beans would be effective after he got out of the maze, so Lin Mo woke up.

As a result, I saw the fat guy over there sticking his butt out and looking out through the crack in the door.

Now the fat man's head is bigger than before, and his face is swollen like an inflated balloon. It is obviously because of the bee venom. It is really difficult for this guy.

"Come on, I'll take you to the hospital!"

Lin Mo pulled the fat man out.

The fat man said what if there are still hornets outside.

Lin Mo assured him.

Speaking of which, wasps are actually controlled by Mo Wenting's grandmother, the old woman.

This wasp can exist in both the nightmare world and the real world.

The villagers in Xigou Village have basically been controlled by the old woman, who uses this kind of hornet to drill into the bodies of these villagers in their dreams to nourish and hatch.

It’s not noticeable at ordinary times, but if necessary, the old woman can make these people her puppets.

This is also the characteristic of the old woman's hidden lineage.

There are many strange inheritances like this in the Hidden Gate lineage, and Lin Mo has broadened his horizons this time.

Xigou Village late at night is as quiet as a ghost town.

Lin Mo knew that this place, including the people here, was beyond saving.

How can I save a person who has worms in his body? Let's save the fat man first.

This guy's condition is actually quite dangerous now, he needs to be rushed to the hospital.

After getting in the car, Lin Mo called the headquarters while driving.

To his surprise, after the call was connected, an emergency evacuation notice was played.

This is an emergency procedure.

In other words, the headquarters is very busy right now, and no one on the bus is answering the call. Moreover, once this emergency evacuation notice is issued, it means that the complete arrival of the nightmare world has begun.

Lin Mo immediately called the director directly.

The line is busy.

The same goes for Professor Xie.

Obviously, if the nightmare world really arrives and opens, they really won't have time to answer the phone.

Lin Mo had no choice but to drive the fat man to the nearest hospital. If anything happened to the fat man, Lin Mo would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

In the car, the fat man had already fainted.

I touched my hands and head and found that I had a fever. It was really hard for the fat man to hold on for so long.

While driving, Lin Mo accelerated as much as possible.

Losing his mother at a young age and growing up in a single-parent family, in the eyes of others, this is an unfortunate life.

But Lin Mo did not feel that he was unfortunate.

There was no such thing in the past, and there is no such thing now.

Especially after regaining his memory, Lin Mo realized more clearly how lucky he was.

Brother, dad, Liu Jia, Xiao Yu, and so many friends, including the fat man now, these people have done a lot for him, and Lin Mo will definitely repay them.

The mobile phone began to receive emergency text messages.

Not only Lin Mo's own phone, but also the fat man's phone.

In addition, when you turn on the radio, any channel that can be received will be the same, playing emergency broadcasts.

Lin Mo knew this mechanism.

Once this mechanism is activated, it means that the current situation has reached the point where it must be activated.

The vehicle was driving fast on the road. It was pitch black in front and behind, without any light, even the street lights were off.

It seemed as if at this moment, their car was the only one left in the world.

It actually made him feel a little lonely.

Lin Mo opened the window.

The night wind blew in.

Mixed with a strong smell of nightmare.

Lin Mo could feel that the nightmare contaminated area was spreading at an alarming rate.

It was like a flood that burst its banks, madly swallowing up everything in front of it. Or it was like a piece of white napkin slowly dripping with black ink, and that black color would quickly stain the entire napkin.

The radio in the car was playing emergency broadcasts continuously.

Lin Mo prepared to turn off the broadcast.

He's been listening to this stuff too many times and he already knows the content. Simply put, when a nightmare comes, don't panic and follow the emergency procedures.

Specific emergency procedures have already been distributed to everyone through text messages, emails, local community notifications, and even physical booklets.

At this moment, the broadcast seemed to be interfered by some signal, and suddenly only a rustling noise was left.

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then took out his cell phone and looked at it.

No signal.

His mobile phone did not use the ordinary civilian network. In order to ensure the communication of the expert group members, the General Administration used military network-level communication signals.

There is no signal?

Something was obviously out of the ordinary. Lin Mo knew that it must be related to the onset of the nightmare, and it was an unexpected situation.

In modern society, information islands rarely occur, but if they do, they will definitely make people feel uncomfortable.

Navigation doesn't work now.

Lin Mo felt like a small sailboat lost in the ocean. It was pitch black, he had no idea where he was going, and there was only the vast ocean all around him.

Fortunately, there are road signs.

Lin Mo found the nearest city. At this time, the fat man began to twitch and many rashes appeared on his body. The fat man had to be rescued first.

There is light ahead.

This is a small city called 'Xiyan City'.

Lin Mo had never been here before.

When we drove into the city, there was no car on the street, but fortunately the street lights were still on.

Lin Mo looked at the time.

It's one forty-seven in the morning.

He didn't know where the hospital was. The signal interference caused by the nightmare made it impossible to use the navigation software. There was no one else on the road, so Lin Mo didn't know where to ask.

Dial 120.

It didn't work, the mobile network was also experiencing some kind of interference and was completely unusable.

Fortunately, after a while, Lin Mo saw a patrol car coming from the front.

Block the opponent directly.

There were two young policemen in the patrol car. When they saw the fat man who was unconscious in Lin Mo's car, they realized that the situation was serious.

"But in the current situation, we can't guarantee that there will be anyone on duty in the hospital." The policeman was conscientious and took the initiative to lead Lin Mo.

Soon, they drove to the local hospital.

The fat man was very lucky. Even at this time, there were still doctors on duty in the hospital. Although the number was very small, it should be enough to deal with the fat man.

The fat man was pushed into the treatment room. Lin Mo couldn't help and could only wait outside.

Lin Mo doesn't like places like hospitals simply because of normal people's aversion to illness. After all, apart from doctors and nurses, ordinary people really wouldn't go to the hospital for nothing.

The two young policemen outside had not left yet. One of them tried to contact others using the radio in the car, but it seemed that the radio signal was also affected.

The rustling noise of electricity can be heard from a long distance away.

The other tried to use his cell phone to make a call, but it was obviously useless.

Lin Mo guessed that the person who called might be trying to contact his family or girlfriend.

"Thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, I would not be able to find the hospital in this unfamiliar place for a while." Lin Mo stepped forward to thank you.

"This is what we should do." A policeman said, and then asked his colleague next to him: "Still can't get in touch?"

"Yeah." The young policeman nodded, holding the phone, a little at a loss.

Lin Mo told them that perhaps because of the nightmare, the contaminated area spread rapidly, affecting all communications and broadcast signals.

"But it should be temporary, just like when you fill a pond with water, the water in the pond will become turbid and shake during the filling process, but as long as you wait for a while, when you stop filling it with water, the water will become calm and clear."

This has to be very appropriate.

When the two policemen heard this, they both nodded.

The occupational disease of the police is that they observe details carefully and like to ask questions from the side.

In the dead of night, Lin Mo, a foreigner, dragged a man whose head had been turned into a pig by a wasp and ran to their "Xiyan City". He was calm and composed. He was definitely not an ordinary person to be able to remain so steady in such a big event as the nightmare.

Lin Mo did not hide it and showed his ID.

When they saw the words "General Security Bureau" on it, the two policemen were dumbfounded.

They also have a security bureau in their local area. This agency can be said to be the most powerful department in the past year. Other departments must unconditionally cooperate with and obey orders from whatever the Security Bureau does.

Not to mention, Lin Mo is from the General Administration, so his weight is even greater.

For a moment, the two policemen were a little reserved.

Lin Mo said, "Just relax, I was just passing by here while on a mission."

The two policemen were not in a hurry to leave. Since they couldn't contact other people in the bureau, they stayed here and chatted with Lin Mo for a while, asking questions about nightmares.

"Brother Lin, I'm very confused, really. You are an expert, but in this situation, what should we do as ordinary people?" Among the young policemen, a young policeman named Xiao Du asked.

This should be the concern in most people's minds.

Although the country has made sufficient preparations for this global disaster, and it can be said that it is the best and most fully prepared among all countries, if this nightmare event is regarded as a big test, then there is no doubt that China is the real first and gets full marks.

Other countries can’t watch it at all.

But even so, people feel worried because their lifestyle has changed dramatically.

For example, after the nightmare really came, transportation between cities and between provinces was basically less than one-tenth of its original level.

In other words, it is quite difficult to go out at this time.

Of course, this is only temporary, and it is still unclear whether it will be relaxed in the future.

In addition, many industries have also suffered huge impacts, and it is no exaggeration to say that they have suffered devastating blows.

The tourism industry and luxury consumer goods have basically been wiped out.

Basically all industries have been affected.

Lin Mo glanced at the two people and told them: "It's actually simple. Do your job well and abide by the nightmare safety manual issued by the General Administration. Strictly implement the rules in it. Make sure the place where you sleep is safe. Don't mess around in the nightmare world and don't kill yourself. That's basically it."

"Under normal circumstances, the nightmare world cannot affect the external real world, so just do what you need to do and adapt to it. As for the higher levels, the people above will take care of it."

Xiao Du and his colleagues nodded.

"By the way, Brother Lin, have you ever seen a nightmare?"

This question made Lin Mo laugh.

"I used to be in the General Administration's expert group, specializing in dealing with various nightmare incidents. Do you think I have ever seen a nightmare?" Lin Mo asked back.

"What was that nightmare like?" Xiao Du asked.

Lin Mo gave some scientific explanation and said that there are all kinds of nightmares, and it depends on what the person having the nightmare fears.

"By the way, have you two ever had a nightmare of separation?" Lin Mo asked casually.

Both of them shook their heads.

Lin Mo was stunned.

The nightmare separation of the people has been going on for several months.

Xiao Du and his team are police officers, but they haven't done it yet? Then how is the work of the Xiyan City Security Bureau implemented? After further questioning, Lin Mo frowned.

Obviously, although the whole country is under control in the general direction, the precise operations in some small places still require the responsibility of people in each place.

There are differences between people. Things are done by people, so there will be differences between things.

If some things are done well, then there must be some things that are done poorly.

The place called 'Xiyan City' is doing very poorly.

According to what Xiao Du and the others said, the security bureau here is clearly understaffed.

This is understandable.

It's not just Xiyan City, it's the same in other places.

Those who can really perform nightmare separation work must be trained and experienced expert group members. However, the number of expert group members is limited, and if they are distributed across the country in proportion, it will be difficult to meet the needs of large cities, not to mention third- and fourth-tier cities like "Xiyan City".

Basically, none of them.

The only option is to use substitute experts.

But the abilities of the substitute experts vary. Lin Mo has heard that in some places, there will be a lot of casualties when carrying out nightmare separation work.

It has even caused disasters.

Therefore, nightmare separation has been a huge project from the very beginning, and it is a 100% project that cannot cover everyone.

The main reason is that there is not enough time.

There is not enough manpower.

The population base is too large.

Lin Mo thought further ahead. For example, in the case of Xiyan City, even the police who maintained law and order had not yet performed nightmare separation. It was conceivable how serious the situation in this place was.

Thinking that the nightmare had completely arrived, Lin Mo knew that tonight in "Xiyan City" would definitely be a sleepless night and a night of horror.

There could be many deaths.

But this kind of thing is inevitable.

"It's fate that we meet. Let me help you separate your nightmares first." Lin Mo is not a savior. He knows very well that his power alone is very limited.

But that doesn't mean Lin Mo won't sit idly by. Just like he said, in this kind of environment, if they meet, it means they are destined to meet, so a little help is really nothing.

The two young policemen were naturally overjoyed.

However, the two people asked if they could just be ignored and hoped that Lin Mo could help their relatives separate from the nightmare.

Hey! They all have families and jobs, parents, wives and children, which are all ties. The two young policemen have a strong sense of responsibility. When there is a chance of survival, the first thing they think of is their families.

Lin Mo thought about it and said okay.

"Bring the people here, but don't make it public. I am alone and I don't have the ability to save everyone in the city."

The two young policemen thanked him profusely and hurried away to pick someone up.

Lin Mo was waiting outside the disposal room.

After waiting for a while, the door of the treatment room opened, and a doctor came out and told Lin Mo that the patient was fine, but needed an IV and was sleeping.

When Lin Mo heard this, he naturally put the stone in his heart down.

It's a blessing that the fat man is okay.

But then again, the fat guy is lucky, and he is indeed thick-skinned and fat, and that body of fat saved him.

If I didn’t have a strong physique, it’s hard to say whether I could have survived this time.

Lin Mo went in to take a look. The fat guy was receiving an IV and was sleeping soundly. The swelling on his face seemed to have gone down a little.

Close your eyes and fall asleep.

There is no so-called polluted area now. The whole world is a polluted area, so the nightmare world will also complete the projection of the entire real world.

At this moment, Lin Mo fell into a dream and found that the fat man was holding a knife and confronting several nightmares.

He was also cursing in a foul language.

"Get out! Why are you surrounding me? Do you believe I will chop you to death?" The fat man's voice was loud and the knife in his hand exuded a murderous aura.

The knife was taken from a butcher. All butcher's knives are like this, full of evil spirit.

Most nightmares would be intimidated when seeing this knife and would not easily move forward.

Lin Mo didn't go over immediately either.

Those nightmares were not very strong. Even if the fat man with the knife could not defeat them, he could still fight on equal terms.

Lin Mo looked outside at this time.

He wanted to see what the nightmare world would look like after the nightmare fully arrived.

From this angle, you can see some of the high-rise buildings in "Xiyan City" and there seems to be a sound in the distance.

Lin Mo walked out and listened carefully.

It was a scream.

Lots of screams.

It seems that many people still did not comply with the emergency broadcast and did not sleep for at least 24 hours.

Lin Mo took a deep breath.

The air was filled with an extremely strong smell of nightmare.

He knew that a new era had begun!
