Chapter 101 Chapter 101 404 Not Foun…
Luo Qing left the corridor of the "underground office".
Beside her were the silent staff members in red uniforms.
Just as she was about to step onto the stairs, she turned around and looked at the frontline personnel guarding here.
"Comrades, don't let Uncle Wu see me anymore. I probably know his health better than he does." She said softly.
"You know Uncle Wu's temper well. When he gets stubborn, he insists on using his abilities..." The speaker smiled bitterly.
"At least, this time it's just a mental fluctuation and it won't really cause any problems. The old man has both eyes gone, so if he looks around again, at least he'll think about you." Luo Qing sighed lightly.
"We volunteered, and from the moment we put on the clothes, we were all ready."
Someone else laughed, "What's more, you're laughing at us for taking only fifty steps."
Luo Qing looked at the stubborn faces below and finally stopped talking.
She nodded to the pairs of eyes and slowly walked up the stairs.
Back on Xiansheng Lake, she nodded to the staff in blue uniforms.
"Director Wu's mental state is currently stable and has not deteriorated, but further consequences cannot be ruled out. Deputy Director Qin is making preparations. Please continue the lockdown according to your school's emergency measures."
The man in blue uniform nodded silently, and Luo Qing walked onto the shuttle bus nearby.
Her phone had multi-party voice chat enabled.
"Has the general public notice been issued?" she asked.
"Yes, the internet access for all outsiders and temporary residents has been temporarily blocked."
Unlike the shuttle bus that the players took, which sped along at lightning speed, this shuttle bus was moving particularly slowly.
"Currently, all dungeons within the city have been sealed off. Aside from a few players remaining in the safe haven, all others have been safely transported to areas outside the city."
"Is there anyone who can get through to Shang Wei Yan?" another voice asked.
“No.”
“No.”
"Unable to connect. According to the location of Shang Weiyan's previous stay, he and Chief Engineer Yan were last seen in the grassland ranch area of 404 Group."
Luo Qing spoke at this moment: "Are you sure the passage back to the real world is tightly sealed?"
"Sure."
"The current database shows that all players who entered the dungeon today are within the domain."
"The 404 Group has begun auditing the recent business operations of all its subsidiaries and the reports from its farms and ranches." Luo Qing said slowly.
"All agricultural and livestock products produced by the 404 convenience store in Guicheng have been removed from shelves and are being prepared for destruction."
"All 404 Group employees, from top to bottom, transported from the point of origin to Guicheng and other locations, will immediately undergo self-isolation and self-inspection. Follow Level 1 pollution regulations and enter independent isolation cabins."
"In particular, employees working in the raw material processing and fresh food areas of convenience stores will be closely monitored."
“In the event of a shortage of manpower, a Level 2 circular will be issued to conduct voluntary recruitment among citizens.”
"I will use my vote to execute the above instructions and issue a public notice."
There was a moment of silence on the voice call.
"Uncle Wu said that he saw the evil flowers on the grassland were about to bloom." Luo Qing said in a cold tone.
"404 Group, from which date should the investigation begin?" someone asked.
Luo Qing closed her eyes and recalled the night more than a month ago when she worked the night shift at the 404 convenience store near her home.
At that time, there was a difficult customer who kept asking for offal stew, but he went to three 404 convenience stores and couldn't find it.
By that time, the ranch under 404 might have already run into problems.
"How long will it take for the finished products of the 404 cold chain transportation to be put on the shelves after being cut and processed from the grassland?" Luo Qing asked.
"A day and a half."
"Starting from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, focus on this period, from winter to spring, when all things grow." Another hoarse voice said.
"We should also pay attention to the point in early May, and quickly trace back from that time and verify at every level."
"If the flower of evil is about to bloom, the players assigned to various zones will be in danger. They cannot tolerate pollution as well as we do." The voice was very bitter.
"I thought there was a problem inside the city, so I sent them away, but it turns out there might be a problem outside the city."
"Fuck! They really calculated our time perfectly. They might have been lying in wait for the moment of the junction five years ago, deceiving us."
"Do you want to recall it?" The voice in the voice was obviously asking Luo Qing and other voters.
"Director Wu's condition is still unknown. It's not safe inside or outside the city."
Luo Qing sat on the shuttle bus. She held her forehead and said without hesitation, "No need to recall him."
"I believe that Mr. Shang and Mr. Yan can handle it."
"Chehua, according to statistics, how long can the agricultural and animal husbandry products not produced by 404 and our granary reserves sustain the current area?" another voice asked.
"clear."
"Everyone is online, let's get to work and communicate at all times."
"I'll leave the rest to you. I can't do anything else. I'm staying in the paradise to look after Uncle Wu." Luo Qing said.
"Hard."
"Thanks for your hard work."
The phone remained on voice interface. Luo Qing looked at the two people who had not answered the call. She looked at the black-uniformed staff member who was driving nearby.
"Which gift shop has headphones?" Luo Qing asked.
"Every one of them has one. I'll take you to the nearest one."
The shuttle bus drove back to the gift shop near the bungee jumping machine. At this moment, in the amusement park that had been completely evacuated, there were still people sticking to their jobs.
After scanning the code and paying, Luo Qing connected the Bluetooth and only wore one headset. She turned off her own microphone.
"Where else would you like to go?" asked the middle-aged man in black uniform.
Luo Qing turned to look at him: "You look a little familiar."
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "You should have seen me once five years ago. People tend to forget things. I had just arrived then, and then you went to rest."
Luo Qing suddenly realized, "I have some impression. How have you been these past five years?"
"Thanks to everyone, working in the amusement park is pretty good. I drive every day, take turns, and the salary is not bad. Everyone who comes here is very happy." said the middle-aged man.
"You think it will get better in the future?"
Luo Qing nodded, "Yes."
"Where is the rest area for you third-line personnel?" she asked.
"In an emergency, we bring our own equipment and choose the nearest project area. Now, everyone has to camp by the lake."
"Then I'll go with you to get the equipment and set up camp. I'll stay here for the next seven days."
...
404 grassland ranch.
On the drone's display screen, a thick, dark color covered the surrounding bare, withered grass.
Agricultural planes flew over again and again, continuously spraying special pesticides.
Shang Wei Yan bit a pen in his mouth and shook his head as he looked at the radar image.
"No way. This thing is simply insane. It accepts everything. There's no medicine that works. Using a bad omen to deal with ordinary weird things is simply not on the same level. Using a pistol to deal with a group is no way."
Yan Fufeng said helplessly: "My brother, it was you who said the experiment was possible, and it's you who is failing now."
"We've been isolated until now, and people outside might think we fell in."
Shang Weiyan immediately glared at him: "I thought the research institute would be able to produce some products in the past few years, but this ordinary product is not good enough. The quality is too low. It can only be used to deal with small ghosts."
"Besides, how can we not block such a big thing? I'm afraid you will be contaminated."
Yan Fufeng chuckled, "I think no matter how poor the quality of this potion is, it's still better than those broken props you made. Your counterfeit product business is really shoddy."
"I'm doing this for economic circulation, okay? You really give players good props? The props are just to increase their survival rate and collect some primers by the way." He clicked his tongue.
"Your wife used to praise my business endlessly. You didn't mention counterfeit or fake products back then. Bah, what fake or fake products? I'm the only one of my kind. I don't have any other branches."
"Boss, boss. What's the situation? Can they be saved?" A staff member wearing 404 uniform beside the two men asked in a low voice.
"Help, help, help, save your head!" Shang Wei Yan couldn't help but hit him on the head with a hammer.
"If you hadn't reported what you saw earlier, we would have all been killed! It's the end of the world!"
"At first I thought it was just an ordinary insect pest. Who would have thought... We have only been living in peace for a short time. Didn't we say we would clean it up?" the young man muttered.
"I've discovered that bad people aren't scary, stupid people are."
"What the hell are you hiding? You're a top star, big brother! I'm calling you a living ancestor!"
Shang Wei Yan gritted his teeth at this moment.
"If you were any later, not only the grasslands and farms, but the entire city would have fallen, and we would have been back to the way things were five years ago." Yan Fufeng spoke at this moment. His face was grim, and his words made people believe it even more.
"Ah?" After knowing the identities of the two people in front of him and hearing what they said, the young man was paralyzed.
"Then, then, then, what should we do?"
Yan Fufeng and Shang Weiyan exchanged a glance, and then one of them spoke: "All of you step back, get into the car at the back, turn the car around, and close your eyes."
"I understand. When hiring all the employees for the farm, all those selected were those who had undergone adverse excision surgeries." The young man stood up immediately.
"Me?" Yan Fufeng asked.
"Let me do it. We'll take turns. We don't know how many pieces there are. After we finish this one, we'll send more helicopters and people over. Otherwise, we'll be exhausted to death, and we're afraid we won't make it in time. All these employees also need to be checked for disciplinary violations." Shang Wei Yan sighed.
"I really want to save some trouble. I haven't done anything in years." He sighed.
"Just stop talking and do it." Yan Fufeng was speechless.
"Okay." He glanced at the farm vehicles behind him and saw that all the vehicles had turned around.
As he finished speaking, Shang Weiyan moved.
"Oh, the Shang Wei Yan brand garbage disposal is started." Yan Fufeng muttered to himself as he controlled the drone to take off.
The man seemed to be faster than the drone, rushing from the ground to the high ground ahead.
A thick gray color surged around Shang Wei Yan, like fog and wind, covering the entire branch and buds of the evil flower.
The gray fog encroached, as if devouring everything, uprooting entire areas, leaving the ground suddenly bare.
But that's not enough.
The fog continued to erode downwards, as if it was going to penetrate layer after layer of the ground.
The drone recorded everything truthfully until the entire area was cleared and Shang Wei Yan landed back next to Yan Fufeng.
"Hiccup——"
He burped.
"Are you full? Brother, you can't do it now." Yan Fufeng stared at the drone and said.
Shang Weiyan couldn't help but hit him: "Whether I can do it or not, my wife just needs to know. Get lost."
When mentioning his wife, Yan Fufeng stopped joking. Both of them looked gloomy and turned on their phones after a moment of silence.
"Ask them to come and check the pollution concentration, and we will fly to the next area by helicopter. The fastest growing ones here have already formed buds. Apart from those in large areas, we are most worried that there may be some that have slipped through the net." Shang Wei Yan said seriously.
"Notify Ghost City and dispatch the first through fifth advance cleanup teams to arrive as quickly as possible to carry out the 404 cleanup mission."
"Target of this operation: 404 Not Found!"
"We will never allow any evil flower to spread its spores, no matter the cost!"
