Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 264 The storm is coming
The middle section of the airship, burning with black flames, slowly broke apart and fell downwards, with disintegrated components flying all over the sky. Amid violent exclamations, the camera shook violently. It was a mighty rainstorm washing down, carrying the owner of the camera away into the distance.

Soon, the exclamations stopped briefly, and the next moment, the crowd nearby burst into even more intense noises.

It seemed as if an invisible hand lifted up the tattered airship and flattened the raging black flames. The entire airship was dismantled into hundreds of pieces and gently placed on the street.

The video progress bar stops here.

[Take you to feel the attack of the Sun Festival! Absolutely close! See the Bordeaux plane crash from the first person perspective! 】

At the top of the title, there is an eye-catching reminder of "Popularity soaring".

Shang Qiu moved her eyes away from the video, rubbed her eyebrows, leaned back in her chair, and sighed deeply.

"Something big is going to happen."

At the much-anticipated Sun Celebration, the Enlightened Ones' policy plans were openly promoted, and at the same time, an armed raid was launched, sinking the theater airship "Bordeaux".

In just one night, the topic of "Sun Celebration" soared to the top of the trending search list, and a large number of live videos were circulated crazily, and people from all walks of life expressed their opinions and comments immediately. Shang Qiu randomly clicked on a video website, and there were no less than three videos on the homepage that boasted "Ten thousand words of analysis will help you understand the whole context!"

Can be contrasted with it.

It is the "silence" from the company's side.

Led by [Fubo Energy], [Nanyu Heavy Industry] and [Zero Degree Network], the three companies held a joint press conference, severely condemning the terrorist attacks of "The Enlightened Ones", expressing deep sorrow for the casualties caused by the latter's attacks, and at the same time announcing that they would never compromise this time and would launch a retaliatory action oriented towards force.

But after the press conference, they refused interviews from various media outlets and have not made any public statements until now.

Like a black hole.

It devours all external things, yet does not emit even a ray of light.

In the current Zhuguang City, anyone with a keen sense of observation can smell a hint of danger that is gradually spreading.

As the mayor of Zhuguang City and the head of the Rokar District, Shang Qiu can see much more than anyone else thanks to the intelligence channels he controls.

[Nan Yu Heavy Industry] successively raised up "air arsenals", activated optical cloaking, and occupied the sky. A large number of mechanical armed units were activated, and their factories were also operated at full capacity, day and night. Even their proud "giant mechas", these huge entities that combined heavy firepower, heavy armor and huge specifications, began to get ready.

[Zero Degree Network] was simple and crude. First, a large group of security guards with different functions were released to indiscriminately patrol the Internet domains throughout the city. The most direct impact was that many people were shocked to find that the website in front of them had become "banned" when they took off their pants.

Then, they directly pulled a long-built fortress network to the Forging Light City network, built a core hub, and deployed a chain-type integrated network. If the hub cannot be destroyed, then any attack on this integrated network will only target the nodes in it, and the impact on the overall architecture will be minimal.

This means that the effectiveness of conventional tactical network attack methods such as communication interruption, signal positioning, meme dissemination, and virus transmission will be significantly reduced.

And [Fubo Energy].
No news.

When the undoubted Lord of Rokar began to operate at full power, just as mortals could not look directly at the Divine Court, any relevant information could no longer be seen. The only thing that could be known was that beneath the surface silence, there was a turbid current that was rushing wildly.

"Where is the Enlightener?" Shang Qiu pinched his eyebrows.

"They stopped all their expansion and started to shrink across the board." Ning Tong stood straight. "Therefore, their control over the controlled area has increased significantly. Most of our intelligence personnel have been invited out, and the last part that has not been exposed has turned silent." "And, just last night, more than ten small-scale secret conflicts broke out in the third and fourth districts. According to the subsequent on-site assessment, both sides are members of the Enlightened and mercenaries hired by the company."

".Test, so fast." Shang Qiu was silent for a moment: "Is the intensity so high?"

She exhaled heavily, then stood up. "The elections for mayor and other public offices must not be postponed, and must proceed as planned. I will issue a city-wide notice in the name of the government, asking citizens to reduce going out as much as possible in the near future, or to live directly in the company."

The woman paused and said, "Prepare some relief supplies and distribute them to them."

"Also, Ning Tong, from now on, have the Security Bureau work at full capacity. We can't do anything about the areas that are about to engage in battle, such as District 1 and District 2, but you must maintain stability in other places. Your firing authority will be raised by two levels, and the restrictions on the action regulations will be greatly reduced. Anyone who wants to fish in troubled waters will be shot directly without interrogation."

Hearing the words "full load shift", Ning Tong's expression changed slightly. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you think there will be bonuses and subsidies for those who go there?"

Shang Qiu glanced at him and said, "If you don't go, your performance will be deducted."

"How is that possible?" But the next second, she laughed dumbly and shook her head: "I will allocate part of the financial budget to use as their attendance allowance. I remember that your equipment procurement orders are still queued up on a quarterly basis, right? According to the Third Wartime Regulations, all of them will be approved and armed immediately to increase the immediate combat power as much as possible."

Hearing that there would be bonuses and subsidies, Ning Tong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. The Security Bureau will do its best."

"There's not much we can do." Shang Qiu said frankly, and then paused and said seriously: "But what we can do is not as little as most people think."

"There's no need to be too nervous. After all, nervousness is meaningless." The woman slowly stood by the window. The government building was located in the inner city. At a glance, the elevated road in the distance was filled with traffic, looking like a golden river of light in the sunlight.

She put her hands on the window sill. "After all, we've been through this once, haven't we?"

Ning Tong understood what the other party meant.

A few years ago, the Enlightened Ones raided the first and second districts, seized them with lightning speed, and established their own control zone overnight. When everyone learned about this in the early morning of the next day, they were first shocked, and then extremely terrified.

——Zhuguang City is going to be razed to the ground, and all the assets that everyone has accumulated will be lost!

This is what quite a few people thought when they learned that the "rebel" Chakoro Vaughn was here in person. Before the collision between a fifth-ring psychic and a giant enterprise, even the "city" became a little insignificant.

"Did Paddy say anything to you?" Shang Qiu suddenly asked.

Director General of the Security Service, Fifth Circle [Consensus], "Rebirth of Mind", Paddy Morse.

Ning Tong shook his head slowly.

“We immediately submitted the incident file and situation analysis, but the director-general did not issue any relevant instructions.”

"Hmm." Shang Qiu seemed to be thinking: "I understand."

She took one last look out the window, then sat back in her seat, turned on her office system, and began to process the tasks that had piled up in just a few hours without her looking at them.

"You can leave now, Ning Tong." She nodded to him, "Remember, our only bottom line is the Forging Light City."
