Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."
He glanced at Ke Qing, wanting to see if she was normal.
In Lu Ning's view, Ke Qing was not affected by any mental pollution and was perfectly normal.
"Then there's no need to go see her. Ke Qing has already had a check-up, and there's nothing wrong."
Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Okay."
"Alright, you guys go upstairs. I'll stay here alone for a while."
Qin Feng waved his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and silently walked towards the room where he usually trained new recruits.
Lu Ning noticed that Qin Feng's back seemed to have become even more hunched.
Lu Ning remained silent for a moment, then left with Ke Qing.
After recovering, Wang Qiwen and the others immediately left the branch and worked with the Public Security Bureau to determine if anyone was still trapped in the dream.
Lu Ning went to the One Tree Bar to ask the Free Awakeners to help with the statistics.
Because the workload is very large.
It took almost a whole day of work, with all the action team members, freedom awakeners and security officers from the Public Security Bureau, to complete all the statistics.
No one remained in the dream world, but there were quite a few cases of people dying, getting injured, or becoming ill due to damage to their mental bodies caused by the dream plague.
In the seventh district alone, thousands died directly, and more than 10,000 were injured or suffered mental breakdowns.
There are also hundreds of people with the disease.
These patients with these diseases have indirectly caused considerable casualties.
In just one district, there were 20,000 to 30,000 casualties.
This is just a partition.
When Yunrou took overall control and compiled statistics on all the districts, the number of casualties was enormous.
Within the entire base city, the number of direct or indirect casualties due to this dream plague exceeded 400,000!
The casualties were even greater than those from the Fallen Incense Burner incident!
Most importantly, because of this dream plague, all awakened beings above the fifth rank in the entire base city, except for Yun Rou and Lu Ning, were wiped out.
The third and fourth-tier awakened beings were also almost completely wiped out.
Only the first and second-tier awakened beings, having been pre-included in Anlocks's dream, suffered minimal casualties.
Even so, this loss of Awakened has rendered the entire Fog Bureau of Base City 116 virtually defunct.
Without experienced awakened individuals at the fourth or fifth tier, dealing with disease outbreaks is extremely difficult.
As for the support from the General Administration, it arrived the day after Lu Ning and the others left the dream.
The flow of time in the dream dimension is different from that in the reality dimension.
Although a long time seemed to have passed in the dream, only a few hours had passed in the real world.
Before the silver mist rose from the ground, the silver slime seeped from the walls, and the entire base city sank into the dream dimension, headquarters had already sent a distress call to the central authority.
The reinforcements arrived the next day.
The reinforcements this time came from a saint that Lu Ning didn't recognize. He was a handsome man wearing golden armor and with long, flowing blond hair.
His name is Yann.
When this saint first arrived, his expression was very serious.
He personally oversaw operations at the base city headquarters, awaiting the completion of the statistics.
His expression softened only after confirming that no one remained in the dream dimension.
During this time, Saint Arn also met Lin Wuyue and learned of Anlocks' death. Arn remained silent for a long time.
As saints of the Human Federation, they all knew each other to some extent before.
Yann and Anlocks were already friends.
He patted Lin Wuyue on the shoulder: "Wuyue, Anlocks trusts you a lot. He believes you can inherit his mantle. Keep it up."
Lin Wuyue nodded slightly, her eyes resolute.
After the statistics were completed and it was determined that there was no risk at Base 116, Yann left.
Before leaving, Yann said he would mention the current predicament of Base City 116 to the General Administration.
However, Yann's expression wasn't very optimistic: "Recently, there have been more and more mutation incidents. Just like Base City 116 experienced two large-scale anomalies in just three years, other base cities are similar. Right now, everywhere is lacking powerful Awakened Ones. It will probably take some time to get the headquarters to send Awakened Ones there."
As he spoke, Yann looked at Lu Ning and Lin Wuyue and said, "During this period, I will need the two of you to keep a close eye on things."
Lu Ning nodded slightly, her expression calm.
Lin Wuyue currently has nowhere else to go, and she also plans to help Base City 116 here.
A few days after Yann left, the order from headquarters came down.
Yun Rou was appointed as the new director of the new base city No. 116, while Lu Ning and Lin Wuyue did not receive any appointments.
However, when Lu Ning was trying to find out if Jerry had recovered, he heard Jerry say that, according to the information they had brought back from the Fog of Number 233,
Similar to Yan Bing's survival, and the discovery of Base City 65 within the Fog of Number 233, it seems that the General Administration has a new plan for exploring the Fog.
Lu Ning seems to be involved in this plan as well.
However, considering the increasing frequency of mutations, the General Administration needs to carefully allocate powerful Awakened Individuals before this plan can proceed.
