Chapter 80 Panic Part 1(1/2)
7:38 am
Several people from Section 2 were in an alley, and both sides of the alley had been blocked by Section 5. Early this morning, the local Section 5 received a report that two men were missing. The report was from their family members.
Surveillance has been called and it was discovered that two men walked into this alley and never came out again. Some remnants in the alley have been investigated and the biological information of the two men and another were found.
Biometric information of missing women.
Such a discovery makes everyone in Section 2 feel uneasy. There are countless people like Hu Xue who have been parasitized. The streets are full of onlookers. Pedestrians don’t know what is happening, but when they see the people in Section 2
Here, you know nothing good will happen.
The superiors have strictly ordered a more detailed investigation of the surrounding area. By analyzing some DNA information and finding the biological information of the missing woman, we can determine her whereabouts. Soon several members of Section 2 who were conducting biological DNA information identification on the roof found her.
DNA information of missing women.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the administrative department urgently issued a curfew order. After 0 o'clock, all shops were closed. Everyone should go home and do not come out.
Many people don’t know what happened. A crowd gathered outside the District 46 District Assembly Hall. Many council members don’t know what happened. However, they have received notices from the leaders of several factions and must ensure that they are safe.
Everyone in the area is at home after 0 p.m.
At this time, in the local public security management station, Qin Dong was looking at the investigation information returned from the scene, and Lilian looked serious beside him.
These parasitized people have begun to attack passers-by, which is enough to show that they are incapable of controlling the parasitic plants in their bodies.
According to many inquiries about Hu Xue last night, one thing is certain. Hu Xue often has the idea of eating the people around him. Such thoughts will be turned into concrete actions. This is why Hu Xue ran to the city.
The reason for coming to the edge is that Hu Xue would not have had any intention of contacting people if he had not been hungry for five days.
The current situation can only implement a large-scale curfew and find the parasites as quickly as possible. If Frye's hypothesis last night is correct, then these plants are likely to parasitize humans on a large scale, causing
Humans have completely become monsters.
There are many places in this city that are not exposed to light, and it is impossible to comprehensively investigate them.
The installation of guardrails and bright lights at the subway station has begun and will be completed by 12 noon at the latest.
The streets were full of confused people, because the reason given by the administrative department was that there had been some power problems recently and the power equipment needed to be upgraded, so a curfew could only be implemented to reduce the loss of power.
Many people obviously don't believe this rhetoric, because many people feel that this has nothing to do with the loss of power and equipment upgrades. If this is really the case, there is no need to install guardrails and bright lights in subway stations.
"Paper cannot contain fire, what should I do?"
Qin Dong muttered, and Lillian also looked a little helpless. This time, the two of them were assigned to be responsible for conducting the investigation work at night after the curfew.
"We can only hide it for the time being. If this matter is known to the public now, the city will fall into panic."
"Hopefully there won't be any casualties."
Qin Dong muttered, and the two continued to watch the investigation at the scene. Soon another missing person case appeared. The area was in District 96 on the ground floor. A man who went out drinking at night disappeared on his way home.
"Let's wait until the higher ups make a decision first."
Lilian said and Qin Dong nodded. He planned to hold an emergency press conference to officially make a speech about the curfew.
8:03
In the section chief's conference room of the General Affairs Section, Wu Qun and other parliamentary representatives came over. Locke and Michelle were explaining the matter, and the other section chiefs were already busy with matters within their respective sections.
"That is to say, this kind of plant can turn the parasitized person into a monster. Why didn't you inform us of such an important thing last night?"
Beckinsale seemed a little annoyed because someone in the film and television area was also missing and is currently under investigation. He is a young actor.
Wu Qun waved his hand and grabbed the excited Beckinsale.
"This is a matter of city safety and has nothing to do with you!"
Michelle replied, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little solemn, and Wang Ying laughed.
"It does have nothing to do with us, but the key thing is, can this kind of paper-like reason convince the people?"
Lin Xiao agreed.
"Indeed, if this continues without announcing the truth, people will become suspicious, and when bigger problems arise, that will not be the case."
Chris also agreed and felt that it was necessary to announce the truth. Locke also knew that announcing the truth would at least give the public a way to deal with such parasites. However, these matters involve some secrets, and in case someone with ulterior motives borrows them.
If you have this kind of plant-like power, you will be in trouble then.
Especially those rioters lurking in the city, they should not miss this opportunity to disrupt the city.
"Wait a little longer and see if the curfew lasts for several nights. If we can catch these parasites, we can successfully solve the problem."
Although Wu Qun saw it this way, he still felt uneasy. One thing happened after another, completely endless.
"What if we still can't catch the parasites after curfew?"
Beckinsale asked.
"Then we will reveal the truth."
Michelle replied, the congressmen stopped talking at this time, but the latest news came. Three people disappeared last night. Through research, observation and questioning of Hu Xue, some things can be obtained. These things are
The time and period of activity of this parasite, as well as the period of time during which the consciousness of the body may be deprived.
When the body is weak, when hungry, or when emotions are strong, the plant will deprive them of consciousness. What will happen next? Although the parasitized person has memories, it is relatively vague.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So this time the problem is more serious, everything depends on tonight's curfew.
"Everyone, please go to my private rest area first. Let's chat while drinking tea. I also hope that you will inform the district councils in various places."
Wu Qun and the others stood up and nodded, and the group left the conference room.
At this time, an interview made the headlines. A large number of reporters were interviewing Le Xiao, and Michelle looked on with a serious expression.
"As for what happened, it will be announced after the incident is over. I hope everyone believes us that there are indeed some problems, so we implemented the curfew. So I hope everyone can strictly abide by the curfew time, from 0:00 p.m. to the next morning.
Stay at home until 6 o'clock and don't go out."
Michelle breathed a sigh of relief. What Le Xiao said was just right. As long as people in the city knew that there was indeed a problem that had to impose a curfew, at least the people would be mentally prepared in advance.
8:25
Le Xiao returned to her desk in the store. She looked tiredly at the reporters outside who were still reporting. Another huge problem had arisen in the city, and it seemed that the problem would never be solved.
"What's going on, Le Xiao?"
Le Ying came closer with a smile, and Le Xiao looked around.
"This is a secret cousin, but I can tell you."
Le Xiao pulled Le Ying upstairs. Of course, C knew what happened. As soon as Le Xiao went upstairs, she talked a lot about plant-like things, and C could only act extremely shocked.
The news is full of reports about the truth about the curfew, but Le Xiao’s words just now have exposed something, because there is indeed a serious problem.
For a while, many people seemed to be in a hurry, whether they were going to work or eating, because many things had to be done, otherwise they would not be able to do activities outside at 0 o'clock.
Many food stores have held temporary promotions, so you have to consume some of the ingredients in the store quickly. After all, many stores do business at night. If the curfew is implemented for a long time, it will cause problems for these stores that open at night.
A devastating blow.
Some barbecue shops even start selling pickled food and drinks in broad daylight. They are not allowed to appear on the streets under the curfew, and any shops on the streets are not allowed to open, but there are no restrictions at home.
Many people plan to buy some barbecue ingredients home in advance and cook barbecue at home in the evening.
A tense atmosphere enveloped the city, and the streets were extremely congested. People from Section 5 were trying their best to ease the congestion, but the congestion became overwhelming at 8 p.m.
Many shops were overcrowded, and many people were rushing to buy some things because they realized that there must be some big problem with this curfew, otherwise it would be impossible to implement a full curfew.
9:03 pm
Le Xiao dragged her tired body back home. The streets were in a state of depression. Many shops had closed early. The subway stations were congested. The city was no longer as noisy as it used to be. This was when the city was just starting to get lively.
Many streets were deserted and most of the street lights were out.
There are only a large number of Section 5 members patrolling along the street. They all carry sufficient light sources, and people are watching the surveillance in each district. Once anything unusual is discovered, members of Section 5 who are patrolling nearby will be notified.
"Mom, don't turn off the lights, otherwise that plant will crawl up and eat us."
Le Xiao said drunkenly. She was drunk again. Only at this time can she stop her tired head and become more relaxed.
"I know Lele, go and have a rest quickly. Don't you have to go to the General Affairs Department at 5 o'clock tomorrow?"
Le Xiao hummed, carrying a bottle of wine, sipping a few more drinks, picking up some dishes and stuffing them into his mouth randomly. Su Xin was a little worried, because recently Le Xiao has become more and more like an alcoholic.
In the past, she only drank a little before going to bed at night, but now according to Leying, she also takes a small sip when working at noon.
"Can your body handle this?"
