A Million Possible

Chapter 699

“On disaster day, statistics of casualties in twelve cities across the country! Ninety-seven thousand deaths!”

“The latest news, the number of deaths due to projection is nearly 100,000!”

“Natural disasters? Man-made disasters? What exactly is Trilogy doing?”

…

Cheng Lin slid the page on the phone almost mechanically.

After getting out of the airport, he got in the car and finally turned on the closed cell phone. Then, unexpectedly, a lot of information popped out.

Although there are certain expectations for the online situation.

But when the various media platforms were really opened and seeing news and posts about this sudden disaster that were full of all the hot search terms, Cheng Lin’s heart was still sinking.

All online communities are news of memorializing the victims, which is inevitable for people to avoid.

Compared with the seemingly calm reality, there is already a huge earthquake on the Internet.

Especially after the statistical report on the number of dead was issued, this shocking number is hard to ignore by anyone.

And along with the official speeches and announcements on subsequent compensation matters, some angry voices began to burn.

Across the screen, Cheng Lin could almost feel the temperature of anger.

However, the undead in the projection is not a good vent after all.

To some extent, these skeletons are no different from the earth’s crust in motion.

So, soon, in the wave of public opinion, people’s angry gunshots were almost instinctively aimed at the “Terry Division” department and at the cultivators everywhere.

The long-standing, backlog, conflicts between ordinary people and practitioners detonated in an unstoppable manner. People angrily condemned, cursed, and questioned why the cultivators of the bureau did not stop them and put the dead into the city.

This torrent of anger is so great that there are hardly any dams to stop it, or no one wants to stop it.

Cheng Lin silently pressed off the screen, almost imagining the pressure facing the Beijing Special Administrative Department.

This made him nervous, even if the people did not know that the culprit was actually him.

“Master…” Cheng Lin opened his mouth and wanted to tell the driver to stop or change directions. In short, don’t go to the Jiu Si headquarters in the provincial capital as he said when he got in the car.

However, as soon as the voice was spit out, he realized that it was too late.

Outside the car window, the office building of the Jiu Division in the provincial capital is clearly visible.

However, he noticed that a large group of people were crowded outside the building where there were very few people staying in the cold weather in the past.

With the help of Transcendent’s eyesight, Cheng Lin saw those people blocking the gate, pulled up banners, and shouted toward the gate.

“What’s going on?” Seeing the driver turned his head slightly, Cheng Lin asked instead.

“They seem to be the family members of the dead. Our situation is better. It’s not like those cities in the news, where there are so many dead people, but there are not too many. I heard that a train on the railway was blocked there. Almost all the people in the car died, and only a few dozen survived. A family member came to ask for an explanation, just wanting the government to lose more money…Oh.”

The driver glanced over there, then his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.

“Do you still stop?” After speaking, he added another sentence.

Cheng Lin was silent and said, “Don’t stop, keep going.”

“Where to go?”

“Go ahead first.”

The driver didn’t ask much, the car accelerated slightly and passed by the gate of Jiu Si.

Through the car window, Cheng Lin clearly saw a strange little lapel face at the door facing the abuse and foul language, explaining in vain in the siege of a group of people.

For a long time, Cheng Lin retracted his gaze and quietly looked at the crowd on the street, which looked no different from usual.

The quiet real world and the turbulent network formed a very clear contrast, like two extremes, only when he felt carefully, could he smell some tension in the air.

After making a short half-circle in the city, Cheng Lin didn’t know where to go for a while.

The college can’t go back. After all, Ning Cheng has already graduated….It’s boring to go back. Now it’s impossible to go to the headquarters of the Jiu Division… Cheng Lin wondered whether to return to the spirit world, but he gave up this idea.

He always feels that there are many pairs of eyes staring at him in secret, mostly from the capital. Before the final result appears, it is better for him not to “disappear” rashly.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Lin finally thought of a place to go, so he found an address and gave the driver: “Go here.”

He said.

Then, Cheng Lin rubbed the phone silently and looked in the direction of the capital.

…

…

Capital.

It was almost noon.

When Shi Shengcun saw a group of people in formal clothes appear in front of him, he was not surprised.

In contrast, the sullen face of the other party clearly showed their anger.

“Shi Si, I heard you let Cheng Lin go?” A square-faced official stared at the latter sitting at the conference table coldly, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

“This word is not appropriate.” Shi Shengcun looked at the official with a flat expression.

“Oh, it’s not appropriate? How to say? Or escape?” The other party said with a sarcasm.

Xu Yu, who was next to him, was trying to ease a few words when he heard the words, and saw that the indifferent expression on Shi Shengcun’s face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc.

The room suddenly became extremely depressed. The official and the few people behind him changed their colors and subconsciously took a step towards retreated. Then, Shi Shengcun said in a cold tone:

“Do you know why I put my office in Yanshan? It’s because I want to stay away from you idiots who don’t know anything about practice.”

“Shi Shengcun! Do you dare…”

“Oh? Not satisfied with my attitude? Then you can respond to it as much as possible.”

“You…” The official was speechless for a while, his face uncertain.

Xu Qu sighed silently, stood up and said:

“Well, it’s okay for him to leave for the time being, Shi Sishou, you will know where we came this time.”

“Sit down.” Shi Shengcun waved his hand and raised his fingers at the same time. A little bit in the air, an invisible mental pressure spread slowly, sealing the entire room completely.

For an instant, the few people in the room could no longer hear any noise. Seeing this scene, the three people, including Xu Qu, pulled out their chairs and sat down at the table.

There are only four people left in the room.

After a moment of silence, Shi Shengcun finally spoke: “Minister…”

Xu Qu hurriedly replied: “Go and leave Beijing with the leader.”

“En.” Shi Shengcun nodded when he heard the words, and then glanced at the other two middle-aged people who also had deputy positions in the special management department. He sighed insignificantly, “I know your intentions, and I probably know what you think, but this matter is not that simple. You must be cautious and cautious.”

Hearing what he said, the square-faced official also tried to ease the emotions in his heart, and then stared at Shi Shengcun and said every word:

“Chief Shi, you should have seen the statistics on casualties, and you should be more aware of the public opinion situation in the outside world. One hundred thousand people! One hundred thousand lives! How many years hasn’t such a catastrophe occurred?

I know that Cheng Lin was brought in by you, a member of your department, but I hope you can sit firmly in your own position!

You have to understand! One hundred thousand lives, this responsibility must be carried by someone! ”
