Chapter 711 Two options

The panic that is happening is transmitted to the city hall through various monitoring facilities as soon as possible and is displayed on the large screen in the conference room.

The important members of the Central City led by He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun are all people who have experienced strong storms and waves, and they have a lot of experience in how to deal with panic and mobs. The strategy they unanimously agree on is to use violence to suppress panic and fear to curb panic. Before the end of the world, they would also worry about the opinions of all sectors of society and media opinions; but in this deep end of the world, those who can only be thrown aside for the time being. Moreover, these big men in the middle city are not good men and women.

At this moment, large-scale panic and violent incidents are occurring in at least 6 areas.

After a brief exchange between He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun, they issued new peacekeeping instructions without hesitation.

Hundreds of mechas were sent out at the same time to various places of accident, surrounded the mobs, and isolated them from civilians. After these mechas and related personnel arrived, they declared the disposal measures of the Midtown authorities in accordance with unified procedures. If the mob refuses to obey, they will warn first; if they are still invalid, they will fire anesthesia-ammunition or trapping nets to capture them; if they are killed on the spot, they will kill stubborn resisters.

This decisive and violent force control method was effective in a short period of time. When the panic discovered that the mechas representing the authorities in the Midtown were more fierce and cruel than the legendary demons and ghosts, they were no longer panicked; when the mobs who were blinded by violence and blood found that their companions were blood splattered on the streets, they immediately revealed the nature of the weak and became as obedient as lambs. The stormy ammunition shot from the mecha weapons may be ineffective against the existence of the fire thief and the Witch Landa, but it is enough to wipe out the resistance and will of these mobs composed of middle and lower-level star souls.

After one night, the panic and violence were basically subsided, and survivors from affected areas were uniformly gathered in Midtown Square for temporary resettlement, while the rest of the unaffected areas were ordered to stay in their homes for the time being.

At 11 a.m., a staff member reported the losses to key officials in Zhongcheng: "In yesterday's incident, a total of 1,200 civilians were killed; in order to maintain order, 452 mob backbone were arrested and 1,980 mobs were killed."

He Xiaotian said silently. Huo Qiankun sighed, "The weaknesses in our human nature will hurt humans more than any demons, ghosts and viruses. If this situation continues, within half a month, the city will perish on its own. This is an ending that we absolutely cannot accept! For the continuation of the race, we must do our best!"

Huo Qiankun's eyes turned to the Minister of Publicity, "The situation is under control now, and it is time to appease the people's hearts. You should quickly order your subordinates to produce a special program to inform all citizens: Our Central City authorities are fully capable of controlling the situation and maintaining public safety!"

"I understand!" The Minister of Publicity immediately called Li Yan.

//////////////

Somewhere in the street in Midtown, Li Yan stood in front of Chen Geng’s camera. Behind her, more than a dozen mechas were spraying flames to burn the corpse. This kind of picture was simply disdainful of hiding in the environment of the end of the world. Experience seems to show that absolute violence helps maintain order. Burning the bodies of perpetrators and victims is not only a need for order, but also a necessary option to avoid the spread of slug virus.

Li Yan forced herself to restrain her emotions and broadcast the report calmly: "In yesterday's panic and violent incidents, Zhongcheng paid a heavy price to restore order, and thousands of people died. The main reason for this tragedy was the outbreak of the slug virus. In order to avoid the spread of the virus, the authorities sent a large number of mechas to destroy the bodies. Now all important facilities, traffic arteries and public places in Zhongcheng are guarded and patrolled. Anyone with a little common sense knows that Zhongcheng's mechas are advanced in technology and excellent in workmanship, and have a good protective effect on the slug virus. I believe that with all the mechas, Zhongcheng is fully capable of controlling and ultimately extinguishing the slug virus...."

The signal was transmitted to the Zhongcheng Government Hall, and after editing by technicians, it was submitted to He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun for review. The two each put forward some opinions and then broadcast them to the whole city after technical processing.

In the Zhongcheng Square where tens of thousands of citizens gather, a large screen is erected in four directions, southeast, west and north, and special programs are played at the same time.

Li Yan in the picture was broadcasting calmly, "Please believe that Zhongcheng is fully capable of controlling and ultimately extinguishing the slug virus..."

When the report came here, a woman in black suddenly flashed in the large screen. She floated above Li Yan's head like a ghost, and used her pleasant but indifferent sound, which seemed to be accompanied by endless choruses of music.

The citizens of the square and the important members in the city hall exclaimed at the same time that the ghostly figure that appeared in the repeatedly edited and reviewed recording program was the Witch Landa.

The witch Landa appeared in this way, undoubtedly attracting everyone's attention and attention. Li Yan's light was instantly obscured by Landa.

"I am the goddess Landa, the oldest nightmare for mankind on you. My believers have spread all over the world in the end of the world; in the Americas, there are more than 80,000 people; in Oceania, in the Pacific islands and coastal areas, the total number is 70,000; in Europe, 120,000; in Africa, 20,000; in other parts of Asia, there are no less than 60,000. Whether you believe it at this moment or not, most people in Midtown will convert to me in the near future."

Huo Qiankun hurriedly ordered his men: "Cut off the real-time screen quickly!"

"Report to the consul, we can't cut it off! The signal has been controlled by some mysterious force."

"Ah?" Huo Qiankun was shocked again and looked at He Xiaotian. The latter shook his head and told him not to act rashly.

The witch Landa then "reported": "Compared with you lowly and weak low-level intelligent lives, I am a god! I am an immortal and powerful being. I can exterminate you in the blink of an eye, or I can make you evolve and prosper without any effort. I can tame zombies with a spell and let the worms escape. My thought can make you fall into hell and also make you ascend to heaven."

The witch Landa talked endlessly. The semantics of her words were not profound, and the tone was not as rich as voice, but her words were accompanied by an invisible and powerful charm, which made people involuntarily attracted. Tens of thousands of citizens watching the show and more than half of the people in the city hall were unknowingly controlled by the witch Landa's mental ability, leaving only a few people such as He Xiaotian, Huo Qiankun, Betes, and Wang Chengba to remain rational.

Huo Qiankun ordered again: "Bites, hurry up and destroy the broadcast equipment with force!"

Bets immediately took action and emitted a beam of energy.

The witch Landa in the picture smiled coldly and flew her hands. The broadcasting equipment and the large screen in the square suddenly popped up a protective energy field, blocking Bets' attack. She continued: "To be honest, one of my specialties is to create some low-level lives with a strong sense of self-reproduction and protection. At least 6 of the 10 ancient viruses that you humans fear the most are my masterpieces. If you look closely, I will be responsible for many Black Death and the so-called plague incidents in your history. Do you have no impression of it? No wonder, after all, it has been too long. However, there is a virus that you must be impressed by and vividly remembered, that is..."

As soon as the witch Landa grabbed her from a distance, a survivor in the square disappeared out of thin air and appeared in the screen on the big screen. She inserted her left hand into the survivor's belly and took out an obese bug that was more than half a foot long and was twisting hard, "A new virus I have recently created is a slug!"

Everyone screamed again, some people were already urinating. The citizen whose slug was caught in his stomach struggled hard in vain.

"The slug virus is a gadget I have spent a week creating. I believe you have been very happy with it in the past few years." The witch Landa held the slug in her hand and played with it carefully. The slug that bites when she meets someone was as gentle and cheerful as seeing a hen's chick. How could there be a terrifying and fierce look?

"To me, they are just my nutritional supplements." The witch Randa said, sending the fat slug into her mouth, biting off its head in one bite, chewing it with relish, and eating it clean in a few seconds.

"Ah!" Everyone was completely shocked.

The witch Landa threw the captured citizen to the ground from the air, "Congratulations, today is your lucky day! Not only did you remove the slug virus in your body by myself, but you will also gain immunity to it in the future. Of course, the premise is that you can survive such a big hole in your chest."

The citizen struggled to get up, then knelt down at the ground in front of the big screen, begging: "Goddess Landa, I am willing to regard you as God and be your devout believer for life. Please save me with mercy."

"Ha! This child is really enlightened." The witch Landa in the screen showed a smile in her eyes and muttered something. The man with a big hole in her chest in the square suddenly healed his wound. The latter was surprised and knelt harder.

The witch Landa whispered loudly: "Midtown people, you are dead. I can tell you with certainty that within 3 days, the slug virus will sweep the whole city, and none of you will be spared. The Midtown authorities who are controlling your slug virus have no ability to kill the slug virus, and it is even more impossible to compete with me. You can follow them and have a dead end! I will give you a chance to choose now: (1) Follow me and become my believer, and I will protect you.

You are free from all kinds of harm to the end of the world. Those who want to follow me just sing "The Praise of Goddess Landa" loudly or recite "Worship the Supreme, immortal Landa" and I will activate the power of divine protection. (2) Being obsessed with the slaves of the Central City authorities, you will die without a place to bury you! And I am happy to send you a journey, making your journey of death more exciting and unique! Let's count down for 1 minute, please make sure to make your choice carefully."

//////////////

The whole city suddenly fell into panic again. This time, not only civilians, but also armed personnel began to shake. The Zhongcheng Hall was in an instant. People with poor self-control were already urinating, losing their souls, and crying bitterly. Some began to speak, "The Hulanda Goddess Hulanda kneeled down on the spot."

"Everything is cheered up! We must never succumb to this evil force!" Huo Qiankun grabbed the Forestry Minister and shouted.

"Bang", He Xiaotian took out a pistol from somewhere and knocked off the head of the propaganda minister who was kneeling down and said to Huo Qiankun: "They have been mentally controlled. It is useless to persuade and enlighten him!"

He Xiaotian's decisive killing shocked the people present, and some important members who originally wanted to defect to the Witch Landa became hesitant again.

Compared with the panic and disgust of the important members, the Minister of Animal Husbandry Wang Chengba was calm and contented. He ate snacks while keeping saliva to admire the beautiful figure of the witch Landa in the big screen.

"Brother He, do you have any tricks?"

He Xiaotian does have a second move, but that is his few tricks left. He does not want to use them in this situation; and the consequences of using them may not be better than the slug virus outbreak.

"10,9,8..." The countdown for Witch Landa is almost over.

He Xiaotian suddenly asked Huo Qiankun: "Tell me what choice do you plan to make?"

"We are not at the end of our lives, right? That witch is just terrorizing the public. Even if she has the power to destroy Midtown, I would rather die in battle than surrender! At the last moment, if I had to force myself, I will launch the "Devourer" plan, and tens of thousands of intelligent plants will swallow all living things in Midtown like evil spirits!"

"Very good, I will start a nuclear explosion at that time."

"Since that's the case, let's live and die together." Huo Qiankun and He Xiaotian shook hands and sat upright in their seats together.

At this time, the countdown has ended. More than 20,000 Zhongcheng people who were tempted by the witch Landa picked up weapons or fisted naked to approach the armed forces and staff representing Zhongcheng authorities.
