When constructing the safe zone isolation wall, it was actually discussed and evaluated by many experts from the Academy of Sciences.

It's not the result of a rash action.

Any matter, no matter how trivial it is, must be subject to extremely rigorous argumentation and weighing of the pros and cons after it rises to a certain level.

The same is certainly true for a project as large as the separation wall.

According to the results of the Academy of Sciences, the isolation wall can block more than 90% of nightmares.

It is conceivable that if more than 90% of nightmares can be blocked from entering, then the area inside the isolation wall can indeed be called a "safe zone".

Because at any time, the concept of safety is relative.

Lin Mo stopped when he passed by a real estate agency.

In the past, most people didn't dare to go into the real estate agencies in Qianlong City, mainly because the prices of the various second-hand houses for sale were too terrifying, at least seven figures, and many were eight figures.

Now Lin Mo took a quick look and found that the situation seemed to have changed a little.

The housing prices in Qianlong City have both fallen and risen.

The range is still large.

For example, the prices of properties far from the safety zone and the separation wall are discounted compared to before, and some are even shattered. However, the prices of properties close to the safety zone and the separation wall will increase.

The most scarce property here is still the property within the safe zone.

Lin Mo knew that the land in the safe zone would rarely be put up for auction, so the property in the safe zone, even if it was just a run-down house, was worth several luxury houses outside.

The truth is actually very simple.

After a day of work, who doesn’t want to go home and rest? But the problem is that if the property is outside the safety zone, this rest cannot include sleeping. Only in the safety zone can you rest comfortably and relax like in the past.

Who doesn't want this? But the reality is that most people can't do this.

During working hours, you still have to go to work, do what you should do, go where you should go. You can also rest and entertain yourself, but you can only enter the safe zone to sleep when you are sleepy and need to sleep.

It is definitely more troublesome.

And if you accidentally fall asleep outside, you may be in danger of losing your life.

But this is the real situation for most people at this stage. Only a small number of people own property in safe areas and enjoy a superior quality of life.

Therefore, in principle, the properties in the security zone are allocated and cannot be bought or sold.

But where there is demand, there must be a market.

For the sake of profit, there will always be people who do business secretly. After all, there are still many powerful people in the world. Naturally, the price of real estate in the safe zone is at least ten times more expensive than that outside.

If the environment is good, twenty or thirty times is possible.

Lin Mo remembered that he seemed to have been allocated a house in the Qianlong City Safety Zone.

He only went there once, and he didn't know whether it was confiscated later.

Starting the car, Lin Mo prepared to continue on his way.

As a result, at this moment, he suddenly felt a strange breath.

At the intersection ahead, a family of three walked over.

A young couple and a little boy, about four or five years old, seemed to be having a great time.

Lin Mo's gaze passed over the three people and locked onto the young woman. The other party seemed to have sensed it as well. Suddenly her face changed and she turned her head to look over.

He and Lin Mo looked into each other's eyes.

When they looked at each other, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.

dummy.

This young woman was replaced by a dummy.

Lin Mo couldn't possibly mistake that special aura.

Similarly, the other party also noticed Lin Mo, and his eyes immediately became cold and hostile.

"Xiao Fen, what's wrong?" The young husband next to her was confused and asked when he saw that something was wrong with his wife.

But the wife, who was usually gentle and gracious, ignored her husband at this moment, and kept staring at Lin Mo with vicious eyes.

There was something clearly wrong with the atmosphere.

Even the child the woman was holding realized something was wrong.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

The child was innocent and obviously had no idea that his beloved mother had long been replaced by a horrible and weird creature.

The woman also realized at this time that Lin Mo was not easy to deal with.

She reached into her bag and pulled something out.

It is a sharp knife.

Lin Mo had already grasped the loaded pistol in his palm.

He can shoot as long as he raises his hand.

After all, they were only a dozen meters apart.

Many passers-by had no idea that a horrific fight was about to begin, and were still walking back and forth normally.

The woman's husband and children did notice something was wrong, but they obviously didn't think anything of it.

Lin Mo did not raise his gun at this time. He glanced at the husband and the child, then started the car and drove away.

The terrifying and tense atmosphere disappeared at this moment.

The woman's cold look also returned to normal.

She also put the knife in her hand back into her bag.

"Xiao Fen, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, mom, why don't you leave?"

Next to her are two relatives who care about her.

But obviously the man and the child didn't know that their lives were actually hanging by a thread.

Lin Mo didn't do anything.

The reason was simple. He realized that if he took action himself, this woman would kill the man around her without hesitation and take the child hostage.

This was not Lin Mo's guess. If he took action, the result would be 100% certain to be this.

In the real world, Lin Mo is also an ordinary person.

His strength and ability are limited, and there are no other helpers in this place. With just him and a gun, it is no problem for him to kill the woman.

But equally, children and men will be killed by this woman.

Although the physical body is now dead, the soul can still survive in the nightmare world.

Not completely gone.

Why should we die when we can enjoy the sunshine?

Lin Mo wants to play the long game and catch the big fish.

He had just arrived in Qianlong City and was just strolling around the street when he unexpectedly met a dummy.

According to this probability, the number of dummies in Qianlong City is definitely not a small number, and they may have infiltrated all walks of life.

What are these dummies going to do? Lin Mo wanted to figure this out.

So it would be better to let this female dummy go for the time being, but this letting go does not mean really letting her go. He wants to create a breakthrough from the other party.

Although we have obtained a lot of clues about the dummies in Qianlong City from the Duan Family Group before, more clues are definitely better than less.

As for how to continue tracking the female dummy, Lin Mo didn't need to show up in person.

Things like dummies, after replacing normal living people, walk in the real world and have only the abilities of ordinary people, so they can be tracked and suppressed by ordinary means.

Lin Mo's ID is power.

In Qianlong City, power is the greatest ability.

Let the patrol police on the roadside follow her, and then make a phone call, and the entrances and exits of the street will be monitored, so that they can know everything the woman does.

Lin Mo now successfully entered the safe zone and reported to the General Administration.

"Lin Mo, I heard that you started working as soon as you arrived and found a clue on the street?" The director attached great importance to Lin Mo and came out to receive Lin Mo temporarily in the middle of a meeting.

"I'm lucky, I just happened to meet you." Lin Mo smiled.

The director shook his head and motioned Lin Mo to sit down.

"I think it's not luck, but the situation is urgent. I didn't expect that you would encounter dummies just passing by a street. You can imagine how serious the infiltration of dummies is now."

The director was worried at the moment.

He looked much older than the last time Lin Mo saw him.

It is obviously caused by too much work intensity and fatigue.

"Leader, please arrange some work for me." Lin Mo took the initiative to say.

Since he came to Qianlong City, there must be arrangements for him. Since the situation is so serious, Lin Mo doesn't want to waste time.

"You are very motivated at work." The director smiled and said, "After all, you are exhausted from the journey. You should take a rest first. I will arrange for you to go somewhere after this meeting."

"Where?" Lin Mo asked.

The director shook his head: "You can't say that!"

Lin Mo understood instantly.

I won’t ask anymore.

He knew where he was going, and it was obvious that it must be a very important central area. Because of the characteristics of the dummies, he had to ensure that the higher-level level had not been infiltrated by the dummies.

How to be sure?

Although the Academy of Sciences has also developed some instruments for detecting dummies, these instruments are not completely accurate.

The most accurate one at present is Lin Mo’s humanoid detector.

Lin Mo went downstairs to rest.

The problem is, he doesn't want to rest.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to the Academy of Sciences. The experts I am familiar with at the General Administration are either busy or have been assigned to other places to take charge.

Can't see it anymore.

So Lin Mo planned to use this time to quickly prepare some 'Demon-revealing Soup'.

It has been proven in actual combat that the Demonic Soup is really effective, especially in critical moments, it can turn the situation around.

However, the magic soup Linmo that was previously configured had already been used up.

I have been running around all the time and have no time, let alone replenishing materials.

This time back at the Academy of Sciences, Lin Mo certainly couldn't miss the opportunity.

He has thought it through.

All the materials collected before were made into the magic soup this time.

Do as much as you have.

Having more Demonic Soup is like having a stock at home, and you will feel more confident.

Now Lin Mo is still a level 5 researcher at the Academy of Sciences, and his identity still exists in the Academy of Sciences system, so there is no problem in entering the Academy of Sciences.

Even his original laboratory is still preserved.

"Thank you, Professor, that's really nice of you!"

After falling asleep, Lin Mo looked at the familiar laboratory and couldn't help but recall the scene when he was alone here, concentrating on research.

That period was quite fulfilling.

Lin Mo knew that he came to Qianlong for a very important mission, and this little free time might be his last bit of rest.

If you miss it, it's gone.

So we have to hurry up.

The projection area of ​​the Academy of Sciences in the nightmare world is the same as the building in the real world. At this moment, a young female researcher was walking through the dim corridor with documents in her hand.

The female researcher joined the Academy of Sciences three months ago.

As a graduate of the country's top university, she obviously possesses strong learning ability and talent, otherwise she would not have been recruited by the Academy of Sciences right after graduation.

Everyone knows that those who can enter the General Administration’s Academy of Sciences are currently the top talents.

A true elite human being.

At this moment, the female researcher was walking through the D3 research area as usual, but she suddenly realized that the laboratory that had been unused seemed to be occupied at this moment.

This discovery gave the female researcher pause.

She has been working here for such a long time and chats with her colleagues on weekdays, so of course the unused laboratory will be talked about.

The main reason is that at this stage, the research tasks of the Academy of Sciences are becoming increasingly heavy and there are more and more laboratories. Some laboratories need to be used in divided time periods.

Naturally, she had some complaints about following a researcher to tackle a project.

Of course, it is true that the Academy of Sciences currently has a heavy workload, so there is not much to complain about.

The unused laboratory became an obvious target for her and her colleagues' idle chats.

Basically they all have the same idea.

The laboratory situation is so tight now, why leave one laboratory empty?

No matter who the previous user of this laboratory was, it should be vacated. After all, it is not needed, and it is a waste to leave it empty.

They also asked about it, but they didn't know the situation of the laboratory.

I mentioned this to my supervisor researcher once.

The answer given by the chief researcher was that it was the exclusive laboratory of a level 5 researcher, and no one could occupy it unless Professor Xie gave the order.

This of course made the female researcher very curious.

In the Academy of Sciences, there are very few people who can reach the level of Level 5 Researcher. The current Level 5 Researchers are all masters in a certain field and are truly awesome people.

However, because there are so few level five researchers, they have all heard of them to some extent and can match them up.

But the other level five researchers are obviously not the owners of this laboratory.

That is to say, there is another Level 5 researcher that they don't know about.

Everyone is curious.

Women, in particular, are more curious.

Speculations about the owners of this or that laboratory have become a topic of conversation among some young researchers after dinner, but no one knows until now.

But today, when the female researcher passed by, she found that there was actually someone in that laboratory.

"Who went in?"

The female researcher frowned, but she soon realized that it might be the mysterious level 5 researcher who had returned.

At that moment, I couldn't help my curiosity and bravely ran over to check it out.

At this moment, Lin Mo was concentrating on preparing the Demon-revealing Soup.

Next to it, two portions have been prepared.

But just like Lin Mo had thought before, the more Demon-revealing Soup the better for him, so he would definitely prepare more if he could.

But at this time he encountered some minor problems.

An ingredient for preparing the magic soup is gone.

At that time, not much of the material was prepared, and now that he found out that it was gone, Lin Mo was a little at a loss.

"Only two. Not enough."

Lin Mo knew very well that if he really encountered a powerful enemy, such as a nightmare like Yuan Xiuqing, would two servings of Demon Revealing Soup be enough for a battle?

Maybe neither is enough.

After all, the Demon-revealing Soup also has a time limit. Once the effect time is exceeded, it will return to its original state.

But how can we do it without the materials? It is too late to find them now.

If there is really no other choice, you can only take away two portions of Demon-revealing Soup. After all, two portions are better than none.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Mo noticed a female researcher in a white coat looking at him curiously at the door.

"Who are you?" Lin Mo asked.

The female researcher was startled and said quickly: "My name is Gu Xiaofei, a second-level researcher at the General Hospital."

Lin Mo nodded.

The other person had a work badge hanging on his chest. With Lin Mo's eyesight in the nightmare world, he could see even the smallest words clearly.

He could tell that this second-level researcher named Gu Xiaofei was just passing by, so he didn't take it seriously. At this moment, Lin Mo looked at the empty material can and sighed.

Gu Xiaofei was observing Lin Mo the whole time.

She could see that Lin Mo was preparing some kind of potion. She had been doing similar experiments frequently recently. Gu Xiaofei was very skilled in using some materials unique to the nightmare world.

She even summarized some of her own empirical theories.

She looked at the empty can in Lin Mo's hand, her nose twitched, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Evil Spirit Powder contains resentment and desire. If it is not enough, you can use the other two new synthetic materials instead."

New synthetic materials?

Lin Mo had never heard of it.

This is normal. The last time he was in the Academy of Sciences was more than half a year ago. In such a long time, it is impossible that there are no new achievements in the Academy of Sciences.

Lin Mo was humble and asked for advice. Gu Xiaofei said to wait a moment and then ran away with the documents. However, she came back running after a while and handed two test tubes to Lin Mo.

This is the synthetic material that Gu Xiaofei mentioned.

Lin Mo tried it immediately and actually managed to mix it.

Gu Xiaofei didn't leave either. She just stood by and watched. After a while, she asked Lin Mo what potion he was mixing.

Lin Mo was in a better mood at the moment, and told the other party directly that this was something that, if drunk, could turn into a 'nightmare' in a short period of time.

Of course, this only applies to living people.

In fact, the real effect of the Demonic Soup is to treat nightmares.

It can greatly enhance the strength of Nightmare.

Gu Xiaofei was very curious when she heard Lin Mo's words, but she obviously had other work to do. After watching for a while, she said goodbye and left with some reluctance.

Next, Lin Mo used the remaining ingredients to make several more portions of the Demon-revealing Soup, all of which were packaged in hoses, for a total of seven portions.

Although it's not much, it should be enough for one or two large-scale battles.

And even if I wanted more, there was no material left.

As for Gu Xiaofei just now, Lin Mo did not take any special precautions, mainly because there were many details in the process of making the magic soup, and it was impossible to replicate it just by staring at it.

At least that's what Lin Mo thought.

But Lin Mo's predictions were obviously wrong. He had no idea how big a mess Gu Xiaofei would cause later.

…

At this moment, Lin Mo had woken up and sat in the director's car.

The director didn't say where to go, but Lin Mo knew it well.

No one in the car said anything. At this time, Lin Mo received a call from a colleague from the local security bureau in Qianlong City, who said that they had been following the female dummy.

We have already obtained the other party's residence and current social relationships.

"If necessary, we can take action immediately and take down the other party." The colleague on the phone was very confident.

Lin Mo told him not to worry.

"Hold on for now, I'll contact you later."

Seeing a large yard approaching, Lin Mo quickly hung up the phone.

This place is shaded by green trees and has entered the inner road. It can be said that there is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.

Absolutely tight security.

Lin Mo also became serious.

"Team Leader Lin, follow me for a while. Don't do anything else. Just watch and write down any situations. Tell me the results when you come out."

The director's expression was more serious than ever. Soon, the car stopped in front and two people got out.
