Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 183 The Increasingly Chaotic Situation

"Hey? Stop! Stop right there! There's something going on over there... Holy crap! Terrorists!"

While struggling helplessly with his arms caught in the middle, Yang Ping turned his head and caught a glimpse of an unusual flash of light in the far distance.

After gazing at it curiously for a moment, I discovered that the light source was coming from a tall, standalone building.

In the center of the floor, a spot suddenly lit up.

I was still wondering, which company is still having people working overtime so late at night?

next moment.

As the light grew brighter and brighter until it finally shone through the window, he suddenly realized what it was.

That was an explosion! Terrorists bombed the building!
Li Qingfeng, who was running rapidly through the torrential rain while gathering his strength, suddenly stopped in his tracks upon hearing these shouts.

"boom!"

He stomped his foot with all his might.

After stepping out a neat curtain of water on the flooded road, I was lifted into the air and stood on a stone block.

During the scan, they soon saw the area that Yang Ping had described.

Upon closer inspection, a glimmer of firelight was reflected in the pupils.

"Ok?"

The same fixed gaze.

Soon, he exclaimed in surprise, as if he had thought of something.

Then, as if sensing something was amiss, he frowned, but remained composed.

The explosion here, as seen by the two, seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

The city silhouettes against the night sky, with one striking high-rise building after another lighting up.

At that moment, a series of rapid explosions finally pierced through the rain and reached their ears.

Watching the spectacular sight of everything tilting and collapsing amidst a series of flames, as if mountains were overturning.

Yang Ping, who was caught in mid-air, pinched his chin with one hand, squinted for a while, and then suddenly realized what was happening.

"Huh? These explosions are all happening in a chain, it looks like they were deliberately set up?"

"Could this have been done by Tan Hui?"

Yang Ping watched the buildings slowly collapse, and it seemed that they were all high-rise buildings heading towards Lijiang.

The direction of the collapse also seems to have blocked several main roads leading to the city.

However, it's still too far away to see clearly and we can't be sure yet.

Li Qingfeng, whose expression had become increasingly serious, did not respond to his words for the time being.

He was gazing into the distance, as if deep in thought.

after awhile.

Five or six high-rise buildings in succession have been blown in half and collapsed.

Only then did he speak.

"No, it wasn't Tan Hui who did it."

"He couldn't bear to make that decision."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ping, who was hanging in mid-air, was stunned.

He recalled his own bureau chief's style and nodded in agreement.

But afterwards, he also realized the seriousness in her words and tried to look up at the expression of the person next to him.

He had barely moved twice when he felt the pressure on his waist loosen.

"Eh? Oh!"

"Clap~"

The face makes close contact with the ground.

Before he could even get up from the muddy ground to protest, he heard footsteps fading into the distance.

A voice, sharp as a sword, pierced through the rain and reached my ears.

"I always felt that something was amiss."

"You seem to be in good condition. Go out by yourself first and tell the garrison troops and Tan Hui to be careful."

As he spoke, he took off the spare communicator from his waist and tossed it over.

"I have a feeling that things won't be that simple this time."

Yang Ping, who had just gotten up looking bewildered, instinctively caught the thing that was tossed to him and stared blankly at the person in front of him.

Only then did I realize that the other party wanted to stay.

"...Then...Fellow Daoist Li, aren't you coming back with me to rest?"

"We just wiped out that large group of zombies, which should relieve a lot of the defensive pressure. Fellow Daoist Li, won't you come back with me?"

"The defenses over there probably need you too."

As he spoke, his expression gradually became somewhat complicated.

Now that we know the other party did not return to the mountain gate to break through, and now that our precious sword is broken, staying here is probably not safe.

His gaze lingered briefly on the cloth bag in the other person's hand, which was still dripping with sewage. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke up to offer advice.

Having already walked more than ten steps, Li Qingfeng turned back to look at them and naturally noticed their gaze.

His expression didn't change much, except that his eyelids were lowered a little.

"Even without the righteous sword, I still have my fists and feet."

“Being afraid of demons is not an excuse for not having weapons.”

After pausing, he added another sentence.

"The extraordinary individuals of Fog Mountain are still too weak."

“You mentioned before that several other purple-haired corpses came out together.”

"You saw the battle just now."

He paused briefly as he spoke.

Turning his head back in the direction he came from, he could still see a huge pile of wreckage and bones, his tone unchanged.

"If no one holds them back, they will rush out along with the other zombies, and the defense line will break in an instant."

"Let's go, hurry up, and avoid being late."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around without stopping and walked into the night under the torrential rain in the distance.

With Yang Ping's complex expression and his raised hand as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, he quickly disappeared from the blurry view.

"... "

"…well."

"...I hope everything's alright..."

Yang Ping stood rooted to the spot and finally offered a quiet blessing.

He then put aside his worry, turned around, and walked briskly in the opposite direction.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.

The office is located deep underground and is exquisitely decorated, featuring screens, incense burners, and calligraphy and paintings.

Tan Hui, Director Tan, is a slightly overweight middle-aged man dressed in a soft, flowing exercise uniform.

He was holding up the communicator and cursing loudly.

"What are you all doing? The bureau allocates so much money every year? Does your intelligence department just use it to brainwash people at foot massage parlors?"

"I ordered you to investigate the site and have people watch over it. Hundreds of people, and you still didn't see anyone planting explosives on the upper floors of the building within the restricted area. It was even a targeted detonation!"

"Now that the building has collapsed, you're telling me there's something going on?! I'm not blind! Not only did I see it, everyone in Wushan saw it!"

"Didn't keep a close eye on your men? Fine, then you and your men will be packing your bags and getting out of here!!"

With veins bulging on his forehead, he shouted his last sentence into the communicator in his hand, then hung up abruptly without listening to the other party's pleas and explanations.

After doing all this, Tan Hui seemed to deflate completely and slumped into his office chair.

"Hmph...hmph...they even dare to try to outsmart people with something like this..."

"...It seems a purge within the bureau is imminent. They've been too peaceful for too many years before the spiritual energy resurgence; they're all rotten to the core..."

While cursing under his breath, he also put his long-held plan into action.

After a moment, he looked more at the screen that had risen on his desk.

All that could be seen was a short video, playing on repeat.

A total of seven buildings, all over 30 stories high and located near the Lijiang River, were successively cut in half and collapsed amidst the flames.

Amidst a series of booming sounds and flashes of light, several wide roads were completely filled.

Looking at the fire line of the targeted explosion at the waist of the building.

At this point, anyone who wasn't stupid could tell that this was a premeditated and planned explosion.

Although, for some reason, everyone inside the building was suddenly dismissed.

Moreover, the direction in which it overturned completely blocked the intersection that originally needed to be heavily guarded.

Logically, this would have saved the Special Operations Bureau a major headache in defending the breached blockade zone.

However, these buildings belong to the local economic backbone and investors, and the subsequent compensation and impact...

"hiss…"

Thinking of this, Director Tan, sitting behind his desk, couldn't help but tremble and slowly close his eyes.

For a moment, my heart ached as if it were about to shatter.

They had already anticipated being held accountable for this incident and having to use a large number of spiritual objects and magical treasures to make up for the losses.

The last time he felt this heartbroken was when Li Qingfeng wiped out the ancestral graves of the richest man next door who had seemingly risen from the dead.

After reciting the collected cultivation methods with my eyes closed more than a dozen times, I finally managed to calm my surging emotions.

Feeling the spiritual energy within his body grow stronger, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

But he still picked up the communicator he had just smashed and dialed another channel.

"Hello~ Yes, it's me."

"How is the evacuation of the residential area going?"

"Ok?"

"What do you mean by 'few residents'? Oh well! Let's not worry about that for now, just evacuate them all."

"Tell me first, how's the defense line coming along?"

"We probably won't have enough people to help this time. Sigh... But the building just collapsed, so we should be able to reduce the manpower shortage quite a bit."

"... "

"Ok?"

"...Did the organization establish a defense in advance?"

Tan Hui, whose expression had just calmed down after connecting the call, immediately frowned again upon hearing the message from the other end.

First, there was the clearly premeditated act of blowing up buildings to block the road.

This discovery of a hidden, long-established defense is quite intriguing.

After a moment's hesitation, Tan Hui's expression gradually turned serious as his eyes flickered, and he issued the order.

"...Okay, I understand. I'll take over the footage in a bit."

"Continue to expand the evacuation area and retreat to the next intersection to establish a defense zone."

"Ah."

"Do as I say. Okay, go do it."

"... "

As soon as the call ended, he leaned back and put the communicator back on the table.

His serious expression gradually turned into a strange smile.

"...Having ideas is a good thing."

“Since there are civilian organizations willing to go through fire and water to share the burden of the imperial court, then I, Tan Hui, am not one to give up my merits.”

"I was just worried about not finding someone to take the blame. Since you want to be famous, that's easy..."

As the idea was refined in his mind, his previously unpleasant expression immediately softened.

At that moment, the screen that rose from the table flickered and switched to another image.

Clearly, the defense zone had already received the video feed.

As you can see, the video has a greenish tint.

The buildings and the people walking back and forth are all made up of simple lines, clear and distinct, without any of the inconvenience of the night.

As the camera pans down, you can see a sparse group of people dressed in black robes and wearing masks moving about in a densely vegetated park.

Behind the flimsy iron frame on the outside, some staggering, grayish-white figures were already close by.

With just a few strikes, the thin, decorative iron fence was torn to shreds.

The next moment, the two sides collided violently.

"Ah…"

Seeing this, Tan Hui couldn't help but chuckle, casually picked up a steaming cup of tea, and brought it to his lips.

"Suck it~"

"Good tea. I wonder where Secretary Wang bought it. It's a pity we won't be able to drink it again..."
