Chapter 166 Base City in Trouble
Time flies.
The battle that took place in the Huaming District of Longyao City seemed to have happened several years ago, and it gradually became a topic that was only talked about.
With the support of alchemy technology, Huaming District, which was once a battlefield, has now been rebuilt.
However, this place is no longer the residential area of the past, but has been classified as a military important area, and no one else is allowed to enter or leave at will.
Especially around the entrance of the Spirit Demon Prison, not only has a military center been built, but there are also research facilities around it. It seems that someone is doing some research on the sealed entrance of the Spirit Demon Prison.
But these are not things that ordinary people should care about, so they have also become topics that are talked about, and have not aroused much response.
Like this, Longyao City seemed to be gradually returning to its former appearance.
Only people in the professional circle know that these appearances are just illusions on the surface.
The follow-up impact of the Huaming campaign will definitely not disappear so easily.
For example, those fish that escaped into the urban area have not been wiped out yet, and they are causing casualties every day, secretly bringing a lot of trouble to Longyao City.
So, as Su Ming expected, after the holiday, the students of the Demon Hunting Academy were completely busy.
In order to eliminate the fish that escaped from the Huaming District, Longyao City gave the academy a lot of tasks.
The academy classifies these tasks one by one, and entrusts them to all the students in the academy one by one according to the difficulty.
Yes, instead of allowing students to choose freely in the task hall and decide whether to do it or not, it is to issue it to the students directly through text messages, messages, chat software notifications, etc.
This means that these tasks are semi-mandatory homework.
The reason why it is semi-mandatory, not mandatory, is that if you fail to complete the task, or do not complete the task, you will only be deducted credits, and there will be no punishment.
But this is enough to show that the situation is urgent, and there is no room for Longyao City and the academy to use gentle means to assign tasks.
"Although they are just a group of fish that slipped through the net, phantoms are phantoms. If we don't get rid of them, the citizens of Longyao City will have no peace for a day, and they may encounter danger at any time."
Su Ming secretly sighed in his heart how cruel this world is not at all peaceful.
It can only be said that fortunately I still have a spiritual physique and can become a warlock, so my parents and family members have obtained privileges and can enter the key protection area in the city center to live. Otherwise, in such a turbulent situation, Su Ming would have to work every day Frightened, not knowing when misfortune will happen to their family members.
It is said that the regular professionals in the professional circle have also been assigned out one after another, and they are attacking phantoms in every corner of Longyao City.
This is not an easy task.
Phantom demons each have their own characteristics, if you want to find them one by one and eliminate them one by one, it won't work without spending some effort.
However, the current Longyao City is unable to make big moves.
Although ordinary citizens and even professionals are not very clear about this matter, through Xu Qianqian's channel, Su Ming got a piece of news.
"Longyao City is currently short of manpower?"
Su Ming listened to the news from Xu Qianqian Daoming on the other end of the phone, and couldn't help being startled.
seriously?
"Really." Xu Qianqian seemed to be able to hear Su Ming's heartfelt voice, and said: "The current Longyao City really lacks manpower, whether it's professionals or soldiers."
"Why?" Su Ming almost blurted out the question.
"Because of the war." Xu Qianqian also said bluntly: "Have you forgotten how many people died in the Battle of Huaming?"
In a word, Su Ming fell silent.
In the battle of Huaming, Longyao City was victorious, but the number of victims is still vivid in my memory.
"The number of professional sacrifices is more than 5000."
"The number of soldiers sacrificed is more than [-]."
"And how many professionals are there in Longyao City? How many people are there in the army?"
Xu Qianqian's rhetorical question can be described as quite sharp, making Su Ming have to understand what this cold number represents.
Regardless of the army, as for professionals, Su Ming knows that there are only about 10 to [-] professionals in the entire Longyao City, less than [-].
However, the battle of Huaming cost Longyao city about 20% of its professionals.
This is undoubtedly a bitter victory.
Therefore, Longyao City seems to have restored peace, and it seems to have returned to its former appearance, but in fact, after experiencing the painful price of victory, it has fallen into a quagmire in all aspects.
Otherwise, how could the academy allow a group of students to accept the mission semi-mandatoryly?
It's just a last resort.
"In other words, the current situation in Longyao City is very bad?"
Su Ming asked this question.
"It's worse than you imagined." Xu Qianqian said in an impersonal voice: "I'll tell you two pieces of news, just listen to it yourself, don't say it casually."
Su Ming didn't reply, and quietly waited for Xu Qianqian to speak.
In the end, Xu Qianqian revealed two earth-shattering news.
"The first news is that among the fish that escaped from the Huaming District battlefield back then, there are not only low-level phantoms, but also a dangerous species, a real high-level phantom."
Xu Qianqian spoke slowly and endlessly, not surprisingly.
"The second news is that just the night before, the mayor's family of Longyao City was attacked and his family was massacred. The mayor was suspected of being arrested, and the whereabouts of the mayor's daughter are also unknown."
Su Ming was stunned by the two earth-shattering news.
"How could this be?"
Su Ming, who has nothing to do with himself, can't help but be surprised by this meeting.
These two pieces of news are all bad news that can plunge the entire Longyao City into violent turmoil.
Among other things, the mere fact that one of the fish that escaped from the battlefield in Huaming District was a dangerous species, a real superior phantom, was enough to send the entire Longyao City into panic.
That's a high-level phantom.
Even four-star professionals can barely deal with it, a terrifying existence that cannot be defeated.
Such a phantom actually lurks in the base city with a population of more than 6000 million. It is like throwing a carnivorous dinosaur into a flock of sheep. I don't know how many people will suffer, be regarded as blood food, and be hunted.
One must know that high-level phantoms cannot be compared with low-level phantoms. If they want to suck blood, they will endanger hundreds of thousands of people.
Su Ming can already imagine what kind of chaos the senior officials of Longyao City have become.
Furthermore, the news that the mayor's family was actually attacked, the whole family was massacred, and even the mayor seemed to be taken away was equally appalling.
That is the mayor, the supreme leader of Longyao City's power organization, the nominal owner and owner of the base city of Longyao City, who can determine the whereabouts of the entire Longyao City and the existence of policies.
Such a person with the highest power actually encountered an attack. What is the difference between that and the shocking event that the president was assassinated?
Anyway, Su Ming was really surprised by these two news.
Xu Qianqian seemed calm, but her voice was extremely dignified.
"These two pieces of news have been blocked at present. If they are leaked casually, the entire Longyao City will definitely be thrown into chaos." Xu Qianqian said: "The high-level officials of the base city have held major meetings overnight for two days in a row. To mobilize the maximum manpower, the crusade against the dangerous species hidden in the urban area and the search for the whereabouts of the mayor and the mayor's daughter are regarded as the highest priority tasks, and the difficulty is SS level."
The so-called SS-level mission is a mission difficulty that would not appear in the past.
When a base city is operating normally, the most difficult task it will give is only S rank.
This is not an S-level task in the academy, but an S-level task in the professional circle. The difficulty is for all professionals, not for students.
Generally speaking, a task in the professional circle, a C-level task, is more difficult than an S-level task released by the academy.
After all, the strongest people in the academy are at best two or three-stars. In the professional circle, it is different. When even senior professionals have missions, the difficulty of the missions they accept is absolutely unimaginable for students at the student level.
However, this is only the mechanism during normal operation.
Once there is a crisis that can affect the operation of the entire base city or even life and death, the difficulty of the task will soar instantly.
The SS rank is the task of this rank.
It is said that there are SSS-level missions above SS-level.
Once a task of that level appears, it means that the base city has really reached a moment of life and death. If it is not resolved, the end will be the destruction of the base city.
Although it is not yet the moment of life and death for the base city, the appearance of dangerous species and the disappearance of the mayor's family will plunge Longyao City into turmoil and chaos.
Therefore, whether it is hunting down dangerous species or searching for the whereabouts of the mayor's family, they are all SS-level missions.
"These two tasks have taken away a large number of manpower in the current Longyao City, and the remaining manpower will be distributed to various places in the base city, which is obviously insufficient."
Xu Qianqian told Su Ming this.
"In the future, our life may become more difficult."
This is beyond doubt.
Su Ming frowned tightly.
He really didn't expect that Longyao City, which seemed to have returned to peace, was actually falling into such a crisis behind its back.
Su Ming put aside the dangerous things for now, and turned his attention to the murder of the mayor's family.
"Why was the mayor's family attacked?" Su Ming asked, "Are there terrorists?"
"I don't know." Xu Qianqian shook his head and said, "What's going on is still under investigation. The only thing that is certain is that the other party is not an ordinary person."
As the mayor of Longyao City, the mayor's family is also a big family.
"The Wang family is the family with the longest inheritance history in Longyao City. It has been a very famous hunter family a long time ago. Although it is not a super family with the blood of nightmares, it is also among the top families. It has a profound foundation and strength. It is so strong that even the Xu family and the Li family are inferior."
Xu Qianqian said slowly.
"I heard from my father that the ancestors of the Wang family were the ones who founded the base city of Longyao City, so at least half of the mayors of Longyao City were elected from the Wang family. Among the many families, they claim to be the second, and no one dares to claim the first. There are more than a dozen of the high-level professionals in the Wang family. They are all high-level professionals in Longyao City, except for the Warlock Guild and the "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce". most forces."
Such a royal family was breached, how could the attacker be an ordinary person?
Here comes the problem.
"Who can break through a big family like the Wang family, what is the origin of the attacker?"
Su Ming whispered this question unconsciously.
"This is also something that the entire Longyao City executives want to know." Xu Qianqian said in a heavy voice: "After all, if even the Wang family can be breached, it means that the opponent's strength is enough to break through any one in Longyao City. family."
How can this make the senior officials of Longyao City feel at ease?
Chaos at the upper level is definitely inevitable.
of course
"During the Battle of Huaming, the Wang family, as the oldest family power and the mayor's family in Longyao City, has always set an example and rushed to the forefront, so the sacrifice is also the largest among many families. More than a dozen senior professionals have sacrificed. Nearly half, now is the weakest time, and it is impossible for someone to take advantage of it."
Xu Qianqian told Su Ming so.
"According to my father, the high-level executives of Longyao City are currently suspecting that the target of the murder is not inside the city, but outside the city."
In other words, all the high-level officials in Longyao City also believed that this incident was caused by forces outside the base city.
"The forces outside the base city"
Su Ming suddenly remembered a force.
"Could it be the hands of "sin"?"
Su Ming's words made Xu Qianqian fall into silence for several seconds.
"It's very possible." Xu Qianqian said slowly, "If you want to talk about the forces outside the base city, you really have to suspect 'crime' first."
Who made this underground mercenary organization appear in Longyao City before, and even operated wantonly under the protection of a high-level person in the base city?
If you don't doubt them, who else can you doubt?
And "sin" also has such power.
They are the largest mercenary organization in the underground world, one of the largest underground professional groups, and there are even two seven-star professionals in the organization, which is by no means comparable to a remote base city near the sea.
Longyao City is just one of many base cities on the surface, and it is not among the best.
"Sin" is one of the largest organizations in the entire underground world, and it is one of the best underground organizations in the entire world.
Between the two, there is no comparison at all.
Therefore, if "Sin" really did it, then Longyao City would have a lot of fun.
Of course, if it was really them, Su Ming would also have to be careful.
"Xiao Hai'er is their target." Xu Qianqian said solemnly, "If it's really them, you might be targeted."
Hearing this, Su Ming narrowed his eyes.
It seems that I have to take some measures myself.
Decided!I will give you an update tomorrow!ヾ(｀Д)彡
