North Street, the city lord's office.
Xu Liyan, who returned to his familiar home, was no longer afraid and uneasy, and became calm and confident again.
"What's going on now?" He asked about the assistant who had arrived in a hurry.
His assistant was a middle-aged man nearly forty years old, who had experienced the two eras of Shield and Xu Wugong, and had seen several rebellions and coups, and was very calm at this time:
"Mr. Odick has sent the suspected 'priest' to meet you.
"The Wilderness Wanderers who rushed in grabbed a lot of weapons and food, and were gathering towards the central square, as if they wanted to attack North Street.
"They are evolving from an unorganized state to a real group, and the city defense army was hit hard at the beginning, several teams lost their organization and were scattered in different parts of the city, and could only do the most initial defense and cleanup, and could be overwhelmed by riots at any time.
"After the main city guard you separated left from the First Hospital, reinforcements went to the North Bridge and the Municipal Building, and have now joined with the city guards over there.
This is said by a relatively large number of wilderness wanderers.
Compared with almost dying just now, the current situation is no longer called burning eyebrows, Xu Liyan put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth a few steps, and asked in a soft voice:
"Uncle Liu, what do you think we should do?"
Uncle Liu replied respectfully:
"Organize more manpower."
Xu Liyan nodded slightly:
"Give my orders:
"Convened all members of the Noble Council to discuss countermeasures, and they all came up with some strength.
"Organize a group of elite members to go out from the north city gate, go around to South Street, and connect the scattered city defense forces and gather them together. As long as this matter is completed, those troublemakers are not worth worrying about. If it really doesn't work, if you want to burn all the jade, then send a drone team out to bomb it, don't be afraid of destroying the city.
"Also, issue mercenary missions to all hunters, and let the guild members shout directly with their horns."
At this time, many relic hunters were also divided into various places in the city, and they couldn't go to the guild to see the mission.
"Yes, city lord!" Uncle Liu responded respectfully.
Xu Liyan remembered something and hurriedly added:
"Let Mr. Odick come over."
After making arrangements in an orderly manner, Xu Liyan asked the mechanical monk Jingnian next to him:
"Zen Master, please also 'foresee' the next situation."
The red light flashed in Jing Nian's eyes:
"Okay."
The light in his electronic prosthetic eye immediately froze.
After seven or eight seconds, Jing Nian spoke:
"The danger still exists, and the enemy has follow-up arrangements, which are related to the explosion, so the benefactor must not be careless."
Before defeating himself and entering the "Mind Corridor", his "foresight" ability can only detect whether something is about to happen that threatens the survival of himself and the corresponding target, and cannot see the corresponding picture, and has no way of knowing where this originated, which is quite vague.
Xu Liyan nodded:
"I will pay attention and let the guards check everyone's body.
"Zen Master, I'll go clean up and change my clothes."
In the attack just now, he rolled on the ground twice, both panicked and terrified, and was so overwhelmed by the pure thoughts that he actually felt a little incontinent.
Even if he didn't, he had to take this opportunity to clean up himself and adjust his mentality to deal with the next chaos.
Jing Nian nodded slightly:
"I'm guarding the door."
He had already checked Xu Liyan's bedroom, balcony and outside garden, and found no hidden dangers.
…………
In the courtyard behind the "Ah Fu Gun Shop", the residents who repelled the first wave of shocks began to move various obstacles to several entrances, preparing to build barricades to close the place and deal with the possible rioters in the future.
Among them, although those men and women in their forties and fifties are not as neat as young people, they are clear and efficient in doing corresponding things, and they are very efficient, giving people a feeling of being like a fish in water.
This is something they often face when they are young.
After Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao parked Dahong off-road in the alley, they set up Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei, took their two children, rushed to the yard before it was completely closed, brushed their faces inside, went up to the second floor, and met with Bai Chen and Long Yuehong.
After asking Aunt Nan and Gu Changle to take care of the two children, they entered the room and exchanged key points about each other's experiences.
"Do you still want to go out of town?" Jiang Baimian asked considerately.
Bai Chen was silent for a few seconds and said:
"The most chaotic time has passed."
"Hmm." Jiang Baimian agreed, "When we came over, we found that those homeless people were gathering in the central square and might want to attack North Street, which is the place with the most food. When Wild Grass City is reorganized, it is only a matter of time before order is restored, and they have a lot of weapons and ammunition in stock."
This is the most important trade center at the junction of the three major forces, and its own defense system is built to block the attack of the major forces for a period of time.
As long as those wilderness wanderers were not in the first wave of riots, relying on the large number of people and the other side to catch them off guard, they attacked North Street and completely paralyzed the entire city's organization, then they would not have many more chances.
Bai Chen continued:
"As long as this side is not attacked by the key points, it will not be a problem to hold on until the situation stabilizes."
Whether it is food reserves, weapons, or fortifications, it is enough to last for two or three days.
She paused, hesitated and said again:
"There are many people on Aunt Nan's side, if you want to take them out, you have to organize a convoy, which is too eye-catching and easy to target."
"I understand." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile, signaling Bai Chen not to feel embarrassed, "There is a benefit to staying, and it is a feasible plan for everyone to stick to it here, just ......."
Speaking of this, she turned to look at Shang Jianyao:
"Let's see if we can wake up Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei, if we can grasp the whereabouts of Wei Yu and the others, we may have to take a risk in the city."
Saying it was an adventure, her tone was very relaxed, as if she was just going out for a stroll.
Finally, she smiled and said to Long Yuehong:
"I performed well today and am already a qualified fighter."
When Long Yuehong unconsciously straightened her chest, Shang Jianyao had already walked to the bed and posed to press Lei Yunsong's chest.
This made Jiang Baimian roll his eyes helplessly, but he didn't bother to stop it and let him play.
Once, twice...... Lei Yunsong suddenly coughed and slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was a nameplate with gold letters on a red background.
It reads:
"Pangu Creature"
"Do you remember this?" Jiang Baimian began to evaluate the other party's condition to determine whether to let Shang Jianyao make a "friend".
Lei Yun Song's eyes widened, but he still looked like he hadn't woken up.
His gaze was blank for a few seconds, and then a brilliance appeared, as if he had finally woken up from a nightmare that had lasted nearly two months.
"Are you from the company?" He asked urgently.
"Guess what." Shang Jianyao responded with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled off the back of his shoulder by Jiang Baimian with his right hand.
"Do you remember who you are and what you are doing in Wild Grass City?" Jiang Baimian did not answer the rhetorical question.
Lei Yunsong's brows furrowed, and his facial muscles were faintly distorted, as if he was suffering some kind of indescribable pain.
"I, I......" He suddenly sat up and gasped, "Be careful, be careful of that sick person!"
After saying this, Lei Yunsong's face was full of sweat and wet, as if he had washed his face.
Shang Jianyao nodded:
"If he can escape."
Lei Yunsong was still in a state of gradually seeing the light, and did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
After a while, he finally eased up:
"I am Lei Yunsong, the leader of a group in the company, and I came to Wild Grass City to investigate the mastermind of 'Mechanical Heaven'.
"When we left the city lord's mansion and walked out of North Street, we met a man in a black trench coat, he looked thin and seemed to be sick......"
As he spoke, Lei Yunsong's voice gradually lowered, and his tone was full of fear.
"He 'hypnotized' the five of you at once?" Jiang Baimian was a little surprised.
After previous fights, she can almost confirm that the fake "priest" can only hypnotize one person at a time.
"No." Lei Yunsong shook his head, "I was the one who was looking at him at that time. After going back to the hotel, after sleepwalking, I went out and saw him again, and then, according to his instructions, I waited until dawn, found excuses and opportunities, and took the team members to meet him in turn......"
After listening to Lei Yunsong's statement, Jiang Baimian's evaluation result was:
After getting out of the corresponding environment and being stimulated by familiar objects, he should have gotten rid of "hypnosis" and returned to normal.
"Do you know where Wei Yu and the others went?" Jiang Baimian asked about the most important thing.
Lei Yunsong shook his head reproachfully:
"We were separated.
"Lin Feifei and I live in two buildings adjacent to South Street, and according to the man's orders, we did something, and Xiaoyu and the others were taken away by him......"
"Then do you have a clue?" Jiang Baimian asked.
Lei Yunsong frowned and recalled for a while:
"That person's 'hypnosis' seems to be time-sensitive, he will come to see us every once in a while, do 'hypnosis' again, and give some orders at the same time.
"Once, he came a little late, and my condition recovered a lot, and I vaguely knew that something was wrong, so I went outside to observe the route he came from.
"He should have been on North Street, but that time, I heard him use electronic products to talk to people, saying 'take them all to North Street'......"
At this time, Lin Feifei also woke up.
Repeating the previous process, Jiang Baimian confirmed some of what Lei Yunsong said.
"You haven't fully recovered yet, so have a good rest. Let's go to North Street and try to meet the fake 'priest' to see if we can learn from him about Wei Yu's whereabouts." Jiang Baimian made a quick decision and decided to go now.
Shang Jianyao immediately added for her:
"Return the car by the way."
Hearing this, Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei looked at each other, always wondering if they had not completely gotten rid of "hypnosis", or if the anesthesia effect had not completely passed, so that they were slow to react and couldn't understand what the other side was saying.
After leaving the room and coming to the staircase, Jiang Baimian said to Long Yuehong who was following him:
"You stay here to help Xiaobai.
"Well, remind her, pay attention to Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei, although they seem to be fine, but it is difficult to keep it in case."
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong inexplicably felt entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
After finding a window and jumping from the second floor to the alley outside, Jiang Baimian drove to South Street with Shang Jianyao.
She knew that the wilderness wanderers were gathering in the central square, trying to attack North Street, but she didn't dare to take that route and chose to take a big circle.
As before, they went out from the South Street gate, went around to the North Street gate, and used the special pass to successfully pass through the heavily guarded defense line.
