Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 128 The City Under the Restricted Area
Just because of a piece of intelligence from the parliament, the major cities entered a state of emergency combat readiness overnight.

The information is very short, although there are only a few short words, it has touched the nerves of all those who know it, and many people can't even fall asleep all night——

"Parts of the restricted area are expanding outward."

The restricted area is expanded!

But no one who knows anything about the present situation can ignore the terrible meaning of this sentence.

Since the emergence of the forbidden area 200 years ago, the living area of ​​human beings has been severely compressed, and only a small part of the land available for living remains.

Some places are not suitable for survival, coupled with dense population, so at the beginning of the restricted area, human beings even had internal disputes for a period of time to compete for land.

It was quite a bloody conflict, with everyone fighting to the death for a suitable place to live, and it didn't ease until the parliament was formed.

Even today, some urban areas have not forgotten the conflicts between them in the past. Although they will not fight, they have not been able to deal with them.

After the forbidden zone appeared, human beings rebuilt their homes on the land outside the forbidden zone, recuperated and called this part of the area a safe zone.

For 200 years, the restricted area has always been firmly confined within the scope of the restricted area stele, and there has never been a tendency to expand outwards. At most, there have been a few changes, but the impact is not great.

The most dangerous change in the restricted zone was the change in the S-level restricted zone Huangquan. It is said that this also contributed to the establishment of the Huangquan organization, but how it was blocked is quite strict, and only a few people know the inside story.

In the past 200 years, the urban areas have not been idle. Under the leadership of the council, they have tried to solve the population problem, and at the same time, they have set up the Bureau of Removal of Prohibition to clean up some restricted areas, and try to turn the restricted area into a safe zone. part.

The restricted area has always been dangerous and unpredictable, and no one can guarantee whether the cleaned restricted area is really safe. Therefore, the council has specially developed a set of standard storage procedures for the restricted area.

First of all, clean up all life in the restricted area, search and clean up repeatedly within half a month, and remove all suspicious items to ensure that there is no longer any threat of force.

Second, carry out a large-scale disinfecting of the restricted area, and confirm and clean up possible hidden dangers such as curses.

Third, observe the restricted area for at least half a month. After the initial confirmation that there is no problem, send the experiencer to live in the restricted area for half a month.

After this set of basic procedures, if the body function of the experiencer is intact, the restricted area can be initially constructed as a safe area.

Of course, not all restricted areas are suitable for human survival. Some environments are barren and even extremely hot. Therefore, although the cleaning of restricted areas has been carried out in an orderly manner over the years, the scope of the safe area has not expanded much.

And under such circumstances, the forbidden area that has not been moved for 200 years suddenly expands outward. What does it mean?
This means that if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, if the situation becomes serious, the territory of the safe zone will only become less and less, or even be completely swallowed up by the restricted area!

There are restricted areas everywhere... No one dares to imagine such a scene.

This is the latest information brought by the parliament, and no one will doubt its authenticity, so how to solve it has undoubtedly become an urgent matter.

At the request of the council, each district needs to confirm as soon as possible which restricted areas are expanding outwards. While sorting out the data, they must find a way to figure out the reasons for the expansion of the restricted areas.

Of course, if the reason can't be found and the restricted area hasn't stopped expanding, then the last measure must be taken—to forcefully clear the restricted area.

You must know that clearing the restricted area is not an easy task, and it takes a long time to prepare each time. If you really come to this step, many people will undoubtedly die in a hurry.

After the observation of the parliament, the restricted area has not stopped expanding. Although it is slow, it has been advancing slowly.

If...exploring the restricted area was considered a dispensable thing in the past, people may have no choice this time.

The hearts of those in the know are heavy.

At this moment, everyone realized that a truly cruel era might be about to begin.

……

The night was dark.

In the darkness, an old man in ragged clothes came slowly.

His pace is not fast, but it seems that he has traveled a lot in a short period of time.

Yizhuang, old houses, museums, deserted villages, deep valleys, jungles, even passing a bus...

These places have distinctive features and obviously belong to different ages, but the strange atmosphere is exactly the same.

There is a stone monument not far from each place.

There was darkness in the stele, and a pair of scarlet or green eyes slowly opened, silently, as if silently watching the crooked old man.

The old man didn't seem to notice, he stepped steadily on the ground, stones, or dead branches and leaves with every step, but he never made the slightest sound, which was extremely strange.

Suddenly, a burst of beating fire rose from the old man's hand. The fire was too weak and seemed to be blown out by the wind at any moment, but it never went out, but kept beating, reflecting the old man's face flickeringly.

After staring at the fire for a long time, those peeping eyes disappeared silently.

The words in the old man's mouth were vague, like some kind of ancient chant.

Suddenly, he threw the flame in his hand into the air, and there seemed to be more gloomy fireflies in the night.

The flame flickered again, and the old man seemed to ignite something again. Only then could he barely see clearly that what had been beating in his hands were burning yellow paper and paper money.

Ashes filled the air like fine snow.

He walks in the snow like a mourner.

I do not know how long it has been.

A gust of wind blew by, and the figure of the old man quietly disappeared, leaving only the gradually extinguished fire and a cold black stone tablet in place.

"Everything will start all over again."

Vaguely, there seemed to be such a voice.

I don't know if it came from the restricted area or outside the restricted area.

……

Also in the night, a camouflage jeep was driving in a certain direction at high speed, and the scenery on both sides of the window quickly receded, disappearing in the darkness.

A special license plate was hung on the front of the jeep, and it was driving at high speed on the highway, as if it could not see the checkpoints along the road, without any intention of slowing down.

And after seeing the license plate, all the checkpoints were released without even asking a question.

These people are very clear that this is the car of the Bureau.

The Affairs Bureau is also called the Chamber of Commerce. It is the mastermind of the entire Dongyang City government system and the power center of Dongyang City. It is responsible for the unified dispatch of the departments in each urban area of ​​Dongyang City and the management and control of all affairs.

The composition and structure of the meeting hall refers to the parliament, and adopts a voting system for major events. There is a director, eight councilors, and a representative from the scientific research department, the military department, the anti-prohibition bureau, and the police station. There are 13 people in total.

And the decisions of these 13 people represented the will of the entire Dongyang City.

As a special taboo sequence of S-level, how to deal with the tomb keeper is of great importance. A series of studies on him obviously belong to the category of so-called "major incidents". Therefore, Lu Zhan thought it through early on. The order to arrest Bai Mo was issued by the council of.

It's just that he didn't understand that in order to trap the tomb keeper, the council even used a city to carry out the city prison project at first, and spent so much energy and financial resources, but now it directly arrests the tomb keeper, which obviously requires a lot of responsibility. The huge risk is likely to outweigh the gain.

What are those guys in the chamber thinking, and what do they want to do to Bai Mo?
Lu Zhan thought for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.

Could it be...has the meeting hall figured out how to control Bai Mo?
At this moment, Bai Mo was sitting in the back seat of the jeep, enjoying the treatment a prisoner should have.

He was wearing a pair of silver handcuffs and a black hood on his head. The "soldiers" were sitting upright, with guns pointed at his head all the time, as if he was really facing a vicious criminal.

Among all the people present, only Xu Han, who was sitting in the co-pilot, knew the danger of Bai Mo, and she was the only one who knew that this taboo sequence called Gravekeeper had never done anything.

But this does not prevent him from becoming a prisoner.

The jeep was moving very fast, but the people in the car hardly felt the vibration.

It can actually be faster, but considering the fact that the tomb guards should not feel "abnormal", Xu Han chose to let the driver control the speed of the car within a more reasonable range.

There was no sound in the car, only the wind outside the window kept whistling.

Everyone remained silent. Except for Xu Han, the other people in the car didn't know the special nature of this mission, let alone what kind of existence they had captured.

They only thought it was an ordinary task, otherwise they were afraid that their mood would be rather delicate.

"If I remember correctly, I should call you Mr. Bai, right, are you interested in chatting?"

Suddenly, Xu Han in the co-pilot spoke. She brushed her hair that was blown by the wind, her tone was soft, but more of a deep alienation.

Bai Mo in the back seat didn't move, didn't answer, and seemed to have fallen asleep in the car just like that.

"Don't pretend, I know you're not asleep."

Bai Mo remained motionless, and after a long silence, the voice came out from the hood, and said helplessly, "I just don't want to talk to you."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it." Xu Han smiled lightly and said, "You have the right to remain silent, but you take..."

"I'm not a prisoner." Bai Mo interrupted her and sighed, "Can you stop talking to me like you would a prisoner?"

"Oh? Not a prisoner?" Xu Han pretended to be surprised, "Then Mr. Bai, can you explain what happened to the blood on your body first?"

"It's not my blood anyway."

"That's more to say that you have a problem."

"I do not know."

Xu Han shook his head and said, "Such an obvious prevarication can't help you get rid of the suspicion, Mr. Bai."

Bai Mo remained silent, his mind was messed up and his mood was rather bad.

Xu Han knew that something must have happened on the Zheshou Mountain, and if he continued to force Bai Mo to recall, there might be problems, so he changed his voice and said: "Don't be nervous, this time I just ask you to go back and assist in the investigation. This is a necessary process. Good people will be wronged.”

Bai Mo complained: "This is the first time I've heard that you have to wear a hood to assist in the investigation... How do you feel like this is sending me to the execution ground?"

"This time the case is being taken over by our military, and it happens that many things in the military are classified and cannot be seen by outsiders. Some means are necessary... I hope you can understand."

Bai Mo was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Since the military affairs are confidential, why don't you just send me to the police station."

"That's not acceptable. After all, we are responsible for this case."

"But to be honest, I think you have a problem with your affairs. I still can't figure out why you think I'm suspicious."

Xu Han looked at Bai Mo through the rearview mirror for a while, and said, "Of course it's because we have evidence."

Bai Mo smiled. Anyway, he was not afraid of the shadow, so he asked, "How long will the investigation take?"

"soon."

"How fast?"

"It depends on Mr. Bai's cooperation."

"The sooner the better, I have to go back to guard the tomb. If I don't go back for a long time, maybe something will happen in the cemetery." Bai Mo muttered.

Xu Han smiled slightly: "Your time and mine are precious, so of course we won't waste it."

Bai Mo stopped talking, while she stared at Bai Mo, looking thoughtful.

S-rank taboo sequence... Tsk.

The jeep moved forward at high speed and gradually entered a strange city.

Even though it is late at night, the whole city is still brightly lit, the streets are full of people, tall buildings stand tall, and huge display screens are hung everywhere, which are very eye-catching.

A latest video of exploring the secrets of the restricted area was played on each display screen. Everyone stopped and watched with great interest. Occasionally, an advertisement would be inserted, which would cause them to shout and curse.

Someone sits majestically under the monitor and makes a handicap. There are all kinds of options to bet on, and the odds are ridiculously high. For example, whether this quest will be successful, how many people can survive this quest, and even how long a certain person can live among the options.

This is a good pastime. Many people have already gotten used to it and quickly ran to place bets. There are also those who plan to make a fortune out of it. After thinking about it for a long time, they invest a large sum of money, and then watch the video with bated breath, praying that their guess is correct. .

There are many people watching the video, and there are also many people visiting the supermarket.

Most supermarkets are divided into three areas, the daily area, the ordinary area, and the extraordinary area.

The goods in the daily area are no different from those in the supermarkets in the past, while the ordinary area is openly displaying small-caliber firearms and various cold weapons.

There are more products in the extraordinary area, all kinds of charms, strange fruits and flowers, and their effects are all written on the shelves, and the prices are staggering.

The waiter introduced the use of these things to the guests with a smile on his lips. The security guard had a big waist and one eye was emitting a faint light. Looking carefully, half of his body was made of machinery. This is the latest cyborg transformation plan launched by Xinhai Group. This guy Should be one of the volunteers.

The streets are not deserted.

Some people went out with swords on their backs, some people went out with lifeless bodyguards, some people ran wildly even faster than the speed of the car, and the air current brought over one person's charm roadside stall.

The stall owner disagreed with him, and the two met and jumped into the open-air arena to fight to the death.

There are dense numbers of electronic eyes floating in the sky, watching the city coldly, ensuring that there will be no major problems.

Today is the release day of Dongyang City.

The past is long gone, and this is the most basic appearance of the next city in the restricted zone. Because of the arrival of the jeep from the Bureau of Affairs, everything in it has even converged.

This is the main city of Dongyang City, No. [-] City, also called Central City.
