Chapter 712 More Demonic Soup [5000 monthly ticket]
When building the safety zone separation wall, it actually went through discussions and judgments by many experts from the Academy of Sciences.
It's not the result of a hot-headed thought.
Any matter, even if it is a trivial matter, must go through extremely rigorous arguments and weigh the pros and cons after it rises to a certain level.
Of course the same is true for a project as big as the separation wall.
According to the demonstration results of the Academy of Sciences, the 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 inside of the separation wall can indeed be called a 'safe zone'.
Because at any time, the concept of safety is relative.
When Lin Mo passed by a real estate agency, he stopped.
In the past, most people would not dare to enter the real estate agency in Qianlong City, mainly because the prices of various second-hand houses for sale were too terrifying, at least seven figures, and many eight figures.
Now Lin Mo took a glance and found that the situation seemed to have changed a little.
Some housing prices in Qianlong City have fallen while others have risen.
The magnitude is still quite large.
For example, for properties that are far away from the safety zone and the separation wall, the prices are discounted compared to before, and in some cases, they even break bones. But for properties close to the safety zone and the separation wall, the price will rise.
The rarest thing here is the property within the safe zone.
Lin Mo knew that the land in the safe zone was rarely put up for auction, so the property in the safe zone, even a dilapidated house, was worth several luxury houses outside.
The reason is actually very simple.
After a long day at work, who doesn’t want to go home and have a good rest?
But the problem is, if you are in a property outside the safety zone, this rest cannot include sleeping. Only in the safety zone can you be as comfortable and relax as before.
Who doesn't want this?
But the reality is that most people cannot do this.
During working hours, you have to work, do whatever you have to do, go wherever you have to, and you can also rest and have fun, but only when you are very sleepy and need to sleep, you can enter the safe zone to sleep.
It is definitely more troublesome.
And if you accidentally fall asleep outside, you are in danger of dying.
But this is the true situation of most people at this stage. Only a small number of people own properties in safe zones and enjoy a superior quality of life.
Therefore, in principle, properties in the safety zone are subject to the distribution system and are not allowed to be bought or sold.
But if there is demand, there must be a market.
For the sake of profit, there will always be people who will buy and sell 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 those outside.
If the environment is good, twenty times or thirty times is possible.
Lin Mo remembered that he seemed to have been assigned a house in the Qianlong City Safety Zone.
He only went there once, and I don’t know if it was confiscated later.
Lin Mo started the vehicle and prepared to continue on the road.
As a result, at this time, he suddenly felt a strange aura.
At the intersection ahead, a family of three walked past.
There was a young couple and a little boy about four or five years old, who seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Lin Mo's eyes skipped these three people at this moment and locked on the young woman among them. The other woman seemed to have sensed it, and her face suddenly changed and she turned her head sharply to look over.
He and Lin Mo made eye contact.
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed when they looked at each other.
dummy.
This young woman was replaced by a dummy.
With that special aura, Lin Mo couldn't possibly admit his mistake.
Similarly, the other party also noticed Lin Mo, and his eyes immediately became cold and hostile.
"Xiaofen, what's wrong?" The young husband next to her didn't know what was going on. He saw something was wrong with his wife and asked.
But the usually gentle and gentle wife paid no attention to her husband at this moment, and kept staring at Lin Mo with vicious eyes.
There was something obviously wrong with the atmosphere.
Even the little child the woman was holding realized something was wrong.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
The child was innocent and obviously didn't know that his dear mother had been replaced by a terrifying and strange thing.
At this time, the woman also realized that Lin Mo was difficult to deal with.
She reached into her bag and took out something.
It's a sharp knife.
Lin Mo, on the other hand, had already grasped the loaded pistol in his palm.
He can shoot as long as he raises his hand.
After all, they are only ten meters apart.
Many passers-by didn't know that a horrific fight was about to begin, and they were still walking around normally, coming and going.
The woman's husband and children sensed something was wrong, but apparently didn't think the worst.
Lin Mo did not raise his gun at this time. He glanced at the husband and child, but started the vehicle and drove away.
The scary and tense atmosphere disappeared at this moment.
The woman's cold eyes also recovered.
She also put the knife in her hand back into her shoulder bag.
"Xiaofen, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, Mom, why don't you leave?"
Next to her were two relatives who cared about her.
But obviously the man and the child didn't know that their lives were hanging by a thread just now.
Lin Mo didn't make a move.
The reason was simple. He could see that if he did it himself, this woman would not hesitate to kill the men around her and take the children hostage.
This was not Lin Mo's guess. If he took action, the result would be 100% like this.
In the real world, Lin Mo is also an ordinary person.
His strength and abilities are limited, and there are no other helpers here. With just him and a gun, it is not a problem to kill this woman.
But equally, children and men will be killed by this woman.
Although the body is dead now, the soul can still survive in the nightmare world.
Not completely gone.
Why should you die when you can live and enjoy the sunshine?
One more thing.
Lin Mo wants to play the long game and catch big fish.
He had just arrived in Qianlong City and was walking around on the street when he met a dummy.
According to this probability, the number of dummies in Qianlong City is definitely not a small number, and they may have penetrated into 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 the female dummy go temporarily, but this letting go is not really letting go. He wants to open a breakthrough from the other party.
Although I have obtained many clues about the dummies in Qianlong City from the Duan Family Group before, one more clue is definitely better than one less.
As for how to continue tracking the female dummy, Lin Mo didn't need to come forward personally.
A dummy that replaces a normal living person and walks in the real world has the same abilities as an ordinary person, so it can be tracked and suppressed by ordinary means.
Lin Mo's certificate is power.
In Qianlong City, power is the greatest ability.
Let the patrolman on the roadside follow you, and then make a phone call. The entrance and exit of the street will be monitored, and you will know every move of the woman.
Lin Mo now successfully entered the safe zone and reported to the headquarters.
"Lin Mo, I heard that you started working as soon as you arrived and found a clue on the street?" The director paid great attention 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 for Lin Mo to sit down.
"I think it's not just luck, but the situation is urgent. I never expected that you could encounter dummies just passing by on a random street. You can imagine how serious the infiltration of dummies has become."
The director was very worried at the moment.
He looked much older than the last time Lin Mo saw him.
Apparently it was caused by too much work and fatigue.
"Boss, please arrange my work." Lin Mo said proactively.
Since he came to Qianlong City, there must be arrangements for him from above. Since the situation is so serious, Lin Mo doesn't want to waste time.
"Your work energy is very good." The director smiled and said: "After all, it is a long day of driving. You should rest for a while. I will arrange for you to go to a place after this meeting."
"Where?" Lin Mo asked.
The director shook his head: "Don't say it!"
Lin Mo understood instantly.
I won’t ask anymore.
He knew where he was going in a while, and he could think of it. It must be a very important central area. Because of the characteristics of the dummy, he had to ensure that the higher-ups were not penetrated by the dummy.
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 currently is Lin Mo's human-shaped detector.
Lin Mo went down to rest.
The problem is, he doesn't want to rest.
Gushao
After thinking about it, I decided to go to the Academy of Sciences. The experts familiar with the General Administration are either busy at the moment, or have been assigned to other places to guard one side.
Out of sight.
Even Professor Xie and Academician Chen were nowhere to be found.
So Lin Mo planned to use this time to quickly prepare some 'Demon Manifestation Soup'.
It has been proven through actual combat that things like Demonic Demonic Soup are really effective, especially in critical moments, they can turn the tables.
However, the Demonic Manifestation Tang Linmo configured previously has already been used up.
I have been running around here and there, and I have no time, let alone supplementary materials.
Lin Mo certainly couldn't miss the opportunity when he returned to the Academy of Sciences this time.
He thought about it.
All the materials collected before were made into demon manifesting soup this time.
As many as you have, do as much as you want.
Having more magic manifesting soup is like having inventory at home, and you will feel more confident.
Now Lin Mo is still a fifth-level researcher of 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.
"Professor Xie is so interesting!"
After falling asleep, Lin Mo looked at the familiar laboratory, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he stayed here alone and concentrated on research.
That period of time was quite fulfilling.
Lin Mo knew that he had a very important mission when he came to Qianlong this time, and this little free time might really be the last time to rest.
If you miss it, it’s gone.
So you have to hurry up.
The projection area of the Academy of Sciences in the nightmare world was the same as the buildings in the real world. At this moment, a young female researcher was walking through the dim corridor holding information.
The female researcher joined the Academy of Sciences three months ago.
Having graduated from the top university in the country, she obviously has extremely strong learning ability and talent, otherwise she would not have been recruited by the Academy of Sciences after graduation.
Everyone knows that those who can enter the General Administration Academy of Sciences are currently the top talents.
They are truly elite human beings.
At this moment, the female researcher was walking through the d3 research area as usual, but she suddenly realized that there seemed to be someone in the research room that had been unused.
This discovery stopped the female researcher in her tracks.
She works here for such a long time, and she also chats with her colleagues on weekdays. Of course, the research room that has been unused will be talked about.
The main reason is that at this stage, the research tasks of the Academy of Sciences are becoming more and more heavy, and there are more and more laboratories. There are not enough laboratories. Some laboratories need to be divided into time periods for use.
Naturally, she also had some complaints about following a certain researcher to solve a project.
Of course, it is a fact that the Academy of Sciences currently has heavy tasks, so there is not much to complain about.
The unused laboratory became an obvious target for her and her colleagues' casual chats.
Basically they all have the same idea.
The laboratory is so busy now, why should there be an empty laboratory?
No matter who the previous user of this laboratory was, it should be let out. After all, it is not needed. It is simply a waste to leave it so empty.
They also asked about it, but they didn't know the situation in that laboratory.
I mentioned it to the researcher in charge once.
The answer given by the researcher in charge was that it was the exclusive research room of a certain fifth-level researcher, and no one could occupy it unless Professor Xie said so.
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 fifth-level researchers. The current fifth-level researchers are all masters in a certain field, truly awesome people.
But because there are only a few Level 5 researchers, they have all heard of it and can get the hang of it.
But the other fifth-level researchers are obviously not the owners of this laboratory.
In other words, there is another level 5 researcher that they don't know about.
Everyone is curious.
Women, especially, are more curious.
Speculations about the owner of this or that laboratory have become a must-have for some young researchers, but no one knows about it until now.
But today, when the female researcher passed by, she discovered that there was someone in that laboratory.
"Who went in?"
The female researcher frowned, but she soon realized that it was possible that the mysterious fifth-level researcher had returned.
At that moment, An couldn't hold back his curiosity and plucked up the courage to run over to check.
At this moment, Lin Mo was concentrating on preparing the magic manifesting soup.
Next to it, two portions have been prepared.
But as Lin Mo had thought before, for him, the more the demon soup is, the better, so if he can prepare more, he must allocate more.
But at this time he encountered some small problems.
One of the ingredients for preparing the magic manifesting soup is gone.
At that time, I didn't prepare much of this material, but now I found out that it was gone, and Lin Mo was a little confused.
"Only two portions are not enough."
Lin Mo knew very well that if he really encountered a powerful enemy, such as a nightmare like Yuan Xiuqing, would two portions of Demon Manifestation Soup be enough for one battle?
Maybe it's not enough.
After all, Xianmo Decoction also has a time limit. Once the medicine takes effect, it will return to its original state.
But what do you do if you don’t have the materials?
It's too late to look for it now.
If it really doesn't work, I can only take away two portions of the magic manifesting soup. After all, having two portions is better than not having one at all.
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 party had a work badge hanging on his chest. With Lin Mo's eyesight in the nightmare world, he could see no matter how small the characters were.
He could tell that the second-level researcher named Gu Xiaofei was just passing by, so he didn't pay much attention. At this moment, Lin Mo looked at the empty material can and sighed.
Gu Xiaofei was observing Lin Mo all the time.
She could tell that Lin Mo was preparing some kind of potion. She had been doing similar experiments recently. Gu Xiaofei was very skilled in the use of materials unique to the nightmare world.
She even summarized some of her own empirical theories.
She looked at the empty jar in Lin Mo's hand, her nose twitched, and she hesitated before saying: "Evil spirit powder contains resentment and desire. If it is not enough, it can be replaced with two other new synthetic materials."
New synthetic materials?
Lin Mo had never heard of it.
This is normal. The last time he was at the Academy of Sciences was more than half a year ago. In such a long time, it is impossible for the Academy of Sciences to have no new results.
Lin Mo was modest and asked for advice. Gu Xiaofei said to wait for a while, then ran away with the documents, but after a while he ran back and handed the two test tubes to Lin Mo.
This is the synthetic material Gu Xiaofei was talking about.
Lin Mo immediately tested it, and it was actually prepared.
Gu Xiaofei didn't leave either, so 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 now and told the other party directly that this was something that could turn into a 'nightmare' in a short period of time after drinking it.
Of course, this is only for living people.
In fact, the real effect of Manifestation Decoction is on nightmares.
It can greatly enhance the strength of nightmares.
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Gu Xiaofei was very curious, but she obviously had other work. After looking at it for a while, she left with some unfinished thoughts.
Next, Lin Mo used the remaining ingredients to make several more portions of the Demonic Manifestation Soup, all of which were packed in hoses, making a total of seven portions.
Although it's not much, it should be enough to experience one or two large-scale battles.
And even if you want more, you don't have the materials.
As for Gu Xiaofei just now, Lin Mo didn't take special precautions. The main reason was that there were many details in the process of making the magic soup. It was impossible to copy it just by staring at it.
At least that's what Lin Mo thinks.
But Lin Mo obviously expected this matter wrong. He had no idea how much trouble Gu Xiaofei would cause later.
…
At this moment, Lin Mo had woken up and was sitting in the director's car.
The director didn't say where he was going, but Lin Mo knew it.
No one said anything in the car. At this time, Lin Mo received a call. It was a colleague from the local security bureau in Qianlong City, saying that he had been following the female dummy.
You already know the other person’s address and current social relationships.
"If necessary, we can take action immediately to 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 courtyard approaching, Lin Mo quickly hung up the phone.
This place is lined with green trees and has entered the internal road. It can be said that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one post.
Absolutely tight defense.
Even Lin Mo became serious.
"Team Leader Lin, please follow me in a moment. Don't do anything else. Just watch. If there is any situation, write it down and tell me the result when you come out."
The director's expression was as serious as ever at this moment. Soon, the car stopped in front and the two got out of the car.
