"Where are we? Where are we? " It was as if Mo Peng was chanting a curse, completely washing away Luo Nan's inspiration from the mental sensing network.
Helpless, Luo Nan could only give up on the idea of continuing to improve it. He sighed and responded, "There's still a hundred meters."
"Can you not be so perfunctory!? I'm waiting for you outside the theater. I can see all the way to the elevator from the empty lobby … … "
"Who told you that I went through the lobby?"
"You even came through the emergency exit."
"I didn't. I went through the backstage and said hi to Mo Ya on the way."
"Backstage?"
"Yeah, I just happen to have a friend … …" Luo Nan was now able to speak nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Tsk tsk. You've become part of the privileged class! You've decayed before you've even matured. You're pretty good at playing at such a young age! "The sourness in Mo Peng's words came through the air, but he completed his mental adjustment a second later. "Take two private photos backstage and send them over! The kind with material. You know what I mean! "
"Hehe." Luo Nan hung up the call and then sighed.
Zhang Yingying patted his waist from the side. "Your acting is too perfunctory. Even if it's an absurd play, there should be some ups and downs in your emotions. But it's not bad. You don't have stage fright. "
"Stage fright? What's there to have stage fright about? "
"I thought you were going to cry and scream and quickly move your entire family away. I never thought that you would be able to chat cheerfully with your cousin. You're calm in the face of a major event. Not bad, not bad. "
Luo Nan blinked his eyes. "This isn't a nuclear cleansing. What's there to move? Let's not even talk about the ten or twenty people in the vicinity of the large living area. Even if we add in the other areas, including those that have been discovered and those that have yet to be discovered, there are at most eight to ten thousand people … … "
He paused when he spoke to this point. This was because the soul cloak was constantly updating its structure, and it was constantly updating its sensor numbers. Currently, the Xia City region had just achieved full coverage. The number was twenty to thirty percent more than the estimated number he had reported to He Yueyin. It had already broken through the thirteen thousand people mark.
Since the sensor network was temporarily unable to be improved, Luo Nan had nothing to do. He combined it with the map of Xia City to mark the detailed distribution of these people. Since they were quite scattered, he couldn't see any pattern for the time being.
Luo Nan's train of thought was broken after a few twists and turns. He simply forgot what he wanted to say next.
Zhang Yingying misunderstood. She smiled and pushed him. "Breathe, keep breathing. You don't want to learn the good stuff, but you're just messing around with Bamboo Pole and the others. Your cousin is right. Don't be fooled by his young age, he's already starting to be bad … "
"How do you know if he's bad or not?"
Zhang Yingying didn't say a word about Bamboo Pole's behavior. She swung her Baihong Sword Qi at his head. Bamboo Pole, on the other hand, put his palms together and chanted, "Her Majesty Empress Wu, bless and protect you." His expression was that of a fanatical believer.
The two of them were laughing and joking. They were quite relaxed, at least on the surface.
The problem was that in Luo Nan's eyes, the degree of tension in their bodies and the frequency of activity on the mental plane were completely different from their truly relaxed appearances. According to the concepts he had learned during the basic training, this was an appropriate level of nervousness. It was a reasonable state to maintain when facing an unpredictable and dangerous environment.
Zhang Yingying and Bamboo Pole were indeed elites among ability users. They knew how to adapt to the environment and adjust themselves. Luo Nan was on the verge of saying this. He still couldn't get nervous right now …. Oh right!
Luo Nan finally remembered what he wanted to say before. Though there were over ten thousand suspected patients with primary infection, if they were all weak chickens like Huang Bingzhen, then it wouldn't take much effort to get rid of them in one go. Of course, this had to be done before these people were lured and stimulated to slide into the third stage.
He had been thinking from a technical point of view.
But Zhang Yingying's words made Luo Nan reflect on himself a bit. It seemed that if these words were spoken, the evaluation of being bad at the root would be confirmed. It would be hard to wash his name clean. So he could only swallow these words back into his stomach. He thought about things that were more in line with the ways of the world. For example:
"How come there's still no news from the branch? Didn't they go coordinate with the military and political departments?"
"It's because of the coordination that there's no news."
Zhang Yingying shook her head. "The loudest sound is silent. The bigger picture is formless. The bigger picture is rarely heard of …. Okay, I randomly added the last sentence, but you should understand the meaning."
Luo Nan shook his head honestly. "I don't understand."
"......"
Okay, this was quite in line with a certain person's style. Zhang Yingying didn't mind. She acted as a life mentor for the increasingly immortal Teacher Luo: "You see, when we met an infected person before, everyone came and went in an extremely lively manner. But when thousands upon thousands of infected people were placed on the table, it was like a pot of boiling soup. A large pot lid was placed on top of them. No matter how turbulent the inside was, not a bit of it could be seen from the outside. It was even quieter than usual …. For example, what about those students behind you? "
Right now, there were only Luo Nan, Bamboo Pole, Zhang Yingying, Qin Yikun, and Gao De in the passageway leading to the backstage of the theater. The military and political students of the project team were all scattered. They went to various monitoring points according to the established plan. They monitored the members of the Grand Feast.
It just so happened that Luo Nan had circled a few targets. Most of them coincided with the participants of the Grand Feast. It could be said that there was a focus of monitoring. Everything seemed to go according to plan. It even gave people a sense of accomplishment, as if a major case had been solved and the net was about to be pulled in … … This was roughly what the mental state of the military and political students was like when they were in their respective positions.
No one inside knew the results of Luo Nan's new round of detection. This was the first thing He Yueyin ordered when she received the numbers from Luo Nan's report.
"So, these scattered people won't know that there are thousands upon thousands of suspected infected people scattered throughout every corner of Xia City, aside from the targets on their monitoring list. They're in an awkward situation where they can't monitor them. It's hard to control them even if they can monitor them. Controlling them will lead to serious consequences."
Luo Nan gaped, but in the end, he didn't say the nonsense that the root of the problem was broken.
On the other side, Bamboo Pole opened his mouth as well. His words were a bit more objective: "The fortress project team isn't considered professional operational personnel. They can only be used as support in this matter. This arrangement is correct."
Zhang Yingying immediately retorted: "But even the professional operational team hasn't obtained any effective orders yet. Humph humph, a group of high level people are still tearing … … apart! "
Luckily, Zhang Yingying thought of the fact that there were people like He Yueyin among the so-called 'high level'. She was sensitive to gender, so she skipped over the indecent words at the last moment. But everyone understood her meaning.
"Cough. You're not in the operational team. How do you know that there's no operation? It's true that we all know the core secrets, but we're only relying on Boss Luo's power. We aren't truly part of the decision-making layer. For those people, there's quite a market for doing things that don't involve the masses. "
