Text Chapter 55 Return to North Street
North Street, City Lord Mansion.
Xu Liyan, who returned to his familiar homeland, was no longer worried and uneasy, and became calm and confident again.
"How is the situation now?" he asked the assistant who rushed in.
His assistant is a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old. He has experienced two times of Hurd and Xu Wugong, and he has seen several rebellions and coups. At this time, he is very calm:
"Mr. Odick has sent the criminal suspected of being a'priest' and wants to see you.
"The wilderness wanderers who rushed in grabbed a lot of weapons and food, and are gathering in the central square, seeming to want to attack North Street.
"They are evolving from an unorganized state into a real group, and the city defense army suffered a heavy blow at the very beginning. Several teams lost their organizational structure and were scattered in different places in the city. They can only do the most preliminary defense. And clean up, may be overwhelmed by riots at any time.
"After the city guards you separated from the first hospital left, they went to the North Bridge and the municipal building. They have joined the city guards over there. With their weapons, it is not a problem to guard for a period of time, but the number is too small. That's too little."
This is said by a relatively large number of wilderness wanderers.
Compared with almost dying just now, the current situation is no longer worthy of burning eyebrows. Xu Liyan took a few steps back and forth with his hands on his back, and asked in a soft voice:
"Uncle Liu, what do you think should be done?"
Liu Shu replied respectfully:
"Organize more manpower."
Xu Liyan nodded gently:
"Give my order:
"All the members of the Council of the Nobles were summoned to discuss countermeasures, and they all came up with something.
"Organize a group of elite members to go out from the North City Gate and go around to the South Street to connect the scattered city defense forces and gather them together. As long as this is done, the rioters should not worry about it. If it is not possible, they must If the jade is burnt, then send the drone team out to bomb, don't be afraid of destroying the city.
"Also, issue mercenary missions to all hunters, and let people in the guild shout directly with loudspeakers."
At this time, many relic hunters were also divided into various places in the city, too late and unable to go to the guild to see the mission.
"Yes, City Lord!" Liu Shu respectfully responded.
Xu Liyan remembered something and hurriedly added:
"Let Mr. Oddick come over."
After making the arrangements methodically, Xu Liyan asked Jing Nian, the mechanical monk beside him:
"Master, please also'foresee' what will happen next."
The red light flashed in Jingnian's eyes:
"it is good."
The light in his electronic prosthetic eye immediately solidified.
After seven or eight seconds, Jing Nian said:
"The danger still exists, the enemy has follow-up arrangements, which are related to the explosion, and the donor must not be careless."
Before conquering himself and entering the "corridor of mind", his "foresight" ability can only detect whether something that threatens the survival of himself and the corresponding target is about to happen. He cannot see the corresponding picture, and he has no way of knowing where it originated, which is quite vague. .
Xu Liyan nodded:
"I will pay attention and let the guards check everyone's body.
"Master Zen, I will clean up and change my clothes."
In the attack just now, he rolled on the ground twice, panicking, and being overwhelmed by Jing Nian, he was a little bit incontinent.
Even if not, he will take this opportunity to clean up himself and adjust his mentality to deal with the next mess.
Jing Nian nodded slightly:
"I'm guarding the door."
He has checked Xu Liyan's bedroom, balcony, and outside garden, but he has not found any hidden dangers.
…………
In the courtyard behind the "Afu Gun Shop", the residents who had repelled the first wave of shocks began to move various obstacles to several entrances, preparing to create barricades and sealing the place to deal with the mob who might come back later.
Among them, although those men and women in their forties and fifties are not as smart as young people, they are well-planned and efficient in doing corresponding things, and they feel like a fish in water.
This is something they often face when they are young.
After Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao parked Dahong Cross Country in the alley, they took Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei with two children, before the yard was completely closed, brushed their faces inside, and went up to the second floor. He Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and they joined together.
After asking Aunt Nan and Gu Changle to take care of the two children, they entered the room and exchanged their experiences with each other.
"Will you go out of town?" Jiang Baimian asked deliberately.
Bai Chen said silently for a few seconds:
"The most chaotic time has passed."
"Yeah." Jiang Baimian agreed. "When we came over, we found that the vagrants were gathering in the central square. They might want to attack North Street, which is the place with the most food. When the Weed City was reorganized, order was restored. Sooner or later, 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. Its defense system is constructed to block the attacks of the major forces for a period of time.
As long as those wilderness wanderers were not in the first wave of riots, relied on the large number of people, relied on the fact that they were caught off guard on the opposite side, attacked North Street and completely paralyzed the organization of the entire city, then they would not have many opportunities.
Bai Chen continued:
"As long as there is no key attack on this side, it will not be a problem to keep the situation stable."
Whether it is food reserves, weapons, or fortifications, it can last for two or three days.
She paused, then hesitated:
"Aunt Nan has a lot of people here. If you want to take them out, you have to organize a team. It's too eye-catching, but it's easy to be targeted."
"I understand." Jiang Baimian responded with a smile, indicating that Bai Chen didn't feel embarrassed, "Leaving has the benefits of staying. It is also a feasible plan for everyone to stick to it here, just..."
Having said that, she turned to Shang Jianyao:
"See if we can awaken Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei. If we can grasp Wei Yu and their whereabouts, we might have to take a risk in the city."
She said it was adventure, but 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. I am already a qualified fighter."
When Long Yuehong unconsciously raised his chest, Shang Jianyao had already walked to the bed and assumed a posture of pressing Lei Yunsong's chest.
This made Jiang Baimian roll his eyes helplessly, but he was too lazy to stop it and let him play.
Once, twice... Lei Yunsong coughed suddenly and slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was a nameplate with gold lettering on a red background.
It says:
"Pangu Biology"
"Remember this?" Jiang Baimian began to evaluate the other party's state to determine whether or not to let Shang Jianyao make a "friend".
Lei Yunsong clearly opened his eyes, but he still looked as though he was not awake.
His gaze was blank for a few seconds, and then brilliance appeared, as if finally waking up from a nightmare that lasted for nearly two months.
"Are you from the company?" he asked anxiously.
"Guess." Shang Jianyao responded with a smile.
As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Baimian pulled the back of his shoulder with his right hand.
"Do you still remember who you are and what did you do in Yecao City?" Jiang Baimian asked not to answer.
Lei Yunsong's brows frowned, and the muscles of his face were slightly twisted, as if he was suffering from some unspeakable pain.
"I, I..." He sat up suddenly, gasping for breath, "Be careful, watch out for the sick person!"
After saying this, Lei Yunsong's face was sweaty and wet, as if washing 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 slowed down:
"I am Lei Yunsong, the leader of a team in the company. I came to Yecao City to investigate the matter of the mastermind of'Machinery Paradise.
"When we left the City Lord's Mansion and walked out of North Street, we ran into a man in a black trench coat. He looked very thin and seemed to be sick..."
While speaking, Lei Yunsong's voice gradually became lower, 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, "It was me who was looking at him at the time. After returning to the hotel and sleeping, I went out sleepwalking and saw him again. After that, according to his instructions, wait till dawn and find With excuses and opportunities, the team members went to see him in turn..."
After listening to Lei Yunsong’s statement, Jiang Baimian’s assessment results are:
After leaving 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 went?" Jiang Baimian asked the most important thing.
Lei Yunsong shook his head reproachfully:
"We are separated.
"Lin Feifei and I live in two adjacent buildings on South Street. According to the man's order, we did some things. 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 make up to see us every once in a while, do the'hypnosis' again, and give some orders at the same time.
"Once, when UU read www.uukanshu.com, he came a little later, and I recovered a lot. I vaguely knew it was wrong, so I went outside to observe his route.
"He should be in North Street. That time, I heard him talk to people with electronic products, saying, "Bring you to North Street"..."
At this time, Lin Feifei also woke up.
After repeating the previous process, Jiang Baimian confirmed some of what Lei Yunsong said.
"You haven't fully recovered yet. Take a good rest. Let's go to North Street and try to see the fake'priest' and see if we can learn from him the whereabouts of Wei Yu and the others." Jiang Baimian made a decisive decision and decided to go now. .
Shang Jian Yao immediately added to her:
"Return the car by the way."
This made Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei look at each other, always wondering if they have not completely gotten rid of the "hypnosis", or the anesthetic effect has not completely passed away, so that the reaction is slow, and they can't understand what the opposite party is saying.
After leaving the room and coming to the stairs, Jiang Baimian said to Long Yuehong who was following up:
"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 hard to keep a case."
"Yes, group leader!" Long Yuehong felt inexplicably entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
Randomly found a window, after jumping from the second floor to the outside alley, Jiang Baimian drove, carrying Shang Jian Yao, and headed for South Street.
She knew that the wilderness wanderers were gathering in the central square, trying to attack North Street, but didn't dare to take that route and chose to take a big circle.
As before, they went out from the gate of South Street City and went around the gate of North Street City. Using the special pass, they passed the heavily guarded line of defense.
