Chapter 149

silence

In an office in the 13th Building of the Planetary Security Bureau in Capital City, Li Wenhua gently put down the phone in his hand.

He rubbed his temples tiredly, stood up, walked to the window, faced the sun, and looked at the scenery outside the window.

There are many tall buildings and busy traffic as far as the eye can see.

He looked at it for a moment, sighed softly, returned to his desk, and picked up the phone.

"I requested that the evacuation be postponed for two days."

There was a moment of silence on the phone. After that, a slightly incredible voice came out: "Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? Can this kind of thing be changed by just changing it?"

"I know. So I am here to formally apply to you. I hope you can consider it carefully."

"You took the wrong medicine, didn't you Li Wenhua?! Do you know that we only have one month to relocate more than one million people in Yangyuan City? Do you know how many critically ill patients need to be transferred, how many factories need to be shut down and valuables need to be transferred? Equipment, how much materials and resources need to be transported? Do you know the exact time of each link in the relocation plan I made here? It's minutes!

If any link is delayed for more than ten minutes, it may cause a series of impacts, causing the entire plan to be disrupted!

Do you know how long it took hundreds of people on my staff team to study and compress the entire relocation plan into one month? ! Do you know that here, I have to mobilize hundreds of people just for half an hour? How many people have worked hard for so long and are finally able to complete the task in a month, without even leaving any spare time! Now you tell me, postpone it for two days? ! Forty-eight hours? "

In the microphone, the voice bombarded Li Wenhua like a barrage of cannons. Li Wenhua seemed to have expected this, his expression did not move at all, and he just listened quietly.

When the voice came to an end, he said solemnly: "The situation has changed significantly. I have made a major discovery here."

He recounted in detail the information that Operation Team Two had discovered and what they were doing at the moment.

Finally, he added: "Due to the significant impact that the overall evacuation mission may have on Yangyuan City as a whole, please consider my application carefully."

There was silence on the other side of the phone. After a long time, the voice sighed: "Xiao Li, you are confused.

Of course I know that if the overall evacuation mission is carried out, even if the situation changes in the future, the hydrogen bomb strike program will not be launched, it will be just a false alarm. Even if the residents of Yangyuan City can return to their homes again, the entire city will suffer a major disaster. I know how many people have lost their jobs and how many people have gone bankrupt.

But...the human world cannot bear risks. We must be prepared for the worst-case scenario. In order to eliminate major risks that may be hidden, even if the probability is not high, it is necessary to pay some fixed price.

I don’t need to tell you which one is more important, Yangyuan City or the entire human world, right? "

Li Wenhua whispered: "Of course I know that the human world is more important. Therefore, I hope you can compress the relocation time into two days again and leave these two days to me."

"This is impossible!" The voice flatly refused: "You have two days here, one day for others, and one day for others to come. If everyone comes, can we still finish the relocation work? This gap cannot be opened! Besides, the time of the mission plan has been accurate. At the minute, how can it be compressed again?”

“Throw away some unimportant supplies and save some time.”

"Do you even need to tell me? Those unimportant things have been abandoned long ago!"

Li Wenhua gritted his teeth: "Then select the less important ones from the existing list of relocation materials and facilities and throw them away!"

The voice on the other side was silent again. After a moment, the voice said faintly: "Xiao Li, are you determined?"

"yes."

"Can you afford these losses and responsibilities?"

Once Li Wenhua was given two days, but after the time ran out, no good results came. The hydrogen bomb still fell, but because of the waste of two more days, a large number of valuable materials and facilities were destroyed by the nuclear explosion. Someone must bear these losses and responsibilities.

As the main promoter, Li Wenhua, of course, can only bear these responsibilities and losses.

Li Wenhua breathed out softly: "I will bear all responsibilities and losses."

"Why?"

Facing the inquiry, Li Wenhua whispered: "I believe in my subordinates."

The person on the other side paused for a moment and then said, "Okay, I'll give you two days."

After hanging up the phone, Li Wenhua was silent for a moment and dialed a number again.

"Dingshan, let's do it. The start of the evacuation mission has been delayed by two days."

"Two days, forty-eight hours, is enough."

"Okay. Let's do this for now."

Zhang Dingshan hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "Li Chu, thank you."

Li Wenhua didn't reply and hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming felt a huge pressure coming from all directions in Binhai Building, pressing on his shoulders.

Because he knew very well how difficult it was to postpone the scheduled time by two days in such a major event.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Wenhua didn't know what price he paid.

Then, if his speculation is wrong, if the attempt at Marina Building ultimately fails, he will be implicated.

Zhang Dingshan patted Lu Ming's shoulder gently.

"We have handed over all our chips. At this time, don't think about what will happen if you fail, and don't let this mentality affect you. Just let go and do it with all your strength."

Lu Ming reluctantly nodded: "Okay."

At this moment, intense construction is still in progress. Hundreds of construction workers were busy shuttling back and forth, dozens of fire ladder trucks, and numerous other machines roared under people's operation. A large number of bundles of black thick film were transported one bundle after another. The bundle unfolded and covered the outside of the Binhai Building.

The construction manager's voice was already hoarse. Lu Ming saw that he was even equipped with seven mobile phones. At the peak, all seven mobile phones were even ringing at the same time. He answered the phone, settled the matter here in a few words, and immediately went to get a mobile phone. As a result, before the last cell phone was solved, the first cell phone started ringing again.

Occasionally there would be a short break, and none of the seven cell phones would ring, and he would walk out of the room and come to the construction site, barking orders and reprimanding his subordinates.

Under such circumstances, time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was another morning.

The construction tasks are not yet completed. At this moment, there are less than four hours left before the scheduled start time of the evacuation mission.

Fortunately, the start time of the current evacuation mission has been postponed by two days, otherwise it would be too late.

At this moment, in a community office not far from Binhai Building, Tang Chao, the security guard who was dispatched to assist community personnel, looked tired, but he still tried his best to smile and soften his voice.

Because of the strict orders from his superiors, he has been on duty here 24 hours a day for three days now and has not left his job for three days.

Whether eating or sleeping, you must stay here and be ready at any time.

At this moment, he was talking apologetically into his cell phone.

"Lily, I'm really sorry. I don't know why my superiors are so crazy. They require us to be on duty all day long and not be able to leave for a while. What happened? It's okay. Everything has been pretty peaceful recently. I haven't heard of it. What's the matter? Do you think our leader's brain is broken? Yes, yes, not only our Public Security Bureau, but all government units are like this. They must be on duty around the clock.

Alas, you said that this incident has caused a lot of panic, and it has made people panic, with such a big battle. You are curious, I am still curious. But it doesn't matter. I can't wait much longer. The notice said that an important notice will be issued at ten o'clock this morning. You will know what happened by then.

I guess it's no big deal. Leaders just love to scare people. I'll take a look then. If nothing happens, I'll sneak away and accompany you. Let's go have hot pot then, shall we? no? Let's go eat Cantonese food. I know a restaurant that's pretty good. Okay, that’s good, let’s do this for now, bye. "

After hanging up the phone, Tang Chao waited boredly for a while, then got up to stretch his body, which was sore from sleeping on a wooden bed at night, and chatted with his colleagues for a while, and the time gradually reached nine-fifty.

"Hey, it's almost ten o'clock. The leader is here!"

The leader walked into the office with a livid face.

"Meeting!"

In the large conference room, the leader slowly uttered a sentence.

"After being notified by superiors, the on-duty time of all staff will be extended for another two days. There will be an important task to be performed at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow.

Let me talk about some requirements below. First, during this period, we must maintain social stability and severely crack down on those who dare to commit crimes and undermine social security; second, we must resolutely overcome paralysis and carelessness..."

Tang Chao's vision went dark. He couldn't even hear clearly what the leader was saying. There was only one sentence left in his head.

Still have to stay on duty for two days!

Still have to stay on duty for two days!

…

Time is still passing slowly. On the Binhai Building construction site, Lu Ming watched with his own eyes that on all the facades of the entire Binhai Building, the last area that was still exposed to the outside world was finally covered with a thick black film.

The construction workers carefully bonded it with the rest of the thick film and finally connected it into one. As a result, the entire Binhai Building and the entire building composed of the dragon-suppressing pile formation were all covered with a thick black film, and no one was missing.

Under aerial photography, the entire building seems to be covered in a black coat.

Lu Ming looked at the time and saw that there were still about 32 hours until the evacuation order was officially issued.

The entire project exceeded the scheduled completion time by more than fifty hours.

But Lu Ming was not dissatisfied with this. As he watched the entire construction process, he was only grateful that the project could be completed at this moment.

Fortunately there was no further delay.

The person in charge of the construction came over sweating profusely. His voice was so hoarse that it was almost hard to hear: "Chief Zhang, Chief Lu, they are all finished."

"Thank you for your hard work, go and have a rest."

Zhang Dingshan said to him and turned to look at another engineering inspector: "Carry out another comprehensive inspection to ensure the sealing is tight and there can be no leaks."

Since it is isolation, it must be done thoroughly. Only in this way can the experimental results be guaranteed.

"yes."

Nearly a hundred drones equipped with scanning equipment took off, following the paths planned in advance and cooperating with each other to scan the black thick film in a fixed area, carefully searching for any possible leaks. point.

Drone scanning, coupled with some air detection equipment installed inside the thick film, can basically find all leaks.

The final scan results were satisfactory. At this point, Lu Ming could finally confirm that Binhai Building was indeed sealed and "isolated" from the current background environment.

Well... all that's left to do now is wait. After waiting to be completely isolated, the "greenhouse effect" brought about by the dragon-suppressing pile formation slowly dissipated from Binhai Building, making the environment inside Binhai Building no longer suitable for the survival of terrorist bacteria, thus causing all terrorists to All the bacteria died.

Only in this way can we truly and thoroughly prove that Lu Ming's speculation is correct, can we completely cancel the hydrogen bomb bombing plan, and completely save this city and the more than one million residents living in this city.

During this waiting and "silent" process, no one is allowed to enter or exit the entire Binhai Building, and any contact with the outside world is strictly prohibited. However, unlike the scaled-down version of the Zhenlong Zhuang Test Base, the interior of the Binhai Building is not a black box for people outside.

Dozens of specially modified machines and equipment that can conduct relatively rudimentary and rough preliminary observations have been placed in the Binhai Building. They can move on their own and communicate with the outside world via radio. During the silent process, they will continuously observe the fungi in the natural environment and monitor their status.

The data generated by this relatively preliminary and rough observation cannot be used as conclusive evidence. That requires experimenters to perform manual inspection on a professional observation platform to obtain it. However, their data can also be used as a reference for judging the changing trends of the situation.

Under this situation, Lu Ming was finally able to sleep without being disturbed. About eight hours later, Lu Ming woke up and immediately came to the remote equipment monitoring room.

"Has anything changed?"

The atmosphere in the control room seemed a little heavy. Zhang Dingshan, who was on duty here, pointed at the projector, and Lu Ming saw the figure of the fungus.

"This is the microscopic picture that equipment No. 7 just captured in the corner of Corridor 131."

At least the fungus isn't dead here yet.

"Don't worry, wait a moment. The silence has just begun less than nine hours ago."

Zhang Dingshan said.
