Chapter 1325 Chaos (Additional update for Silver League leader Andy Bear) (Third update)
Soon the starfighter Gray Dove took off, and then flew towards the western region at an extremely fast speed.
Su Mo looked down and saw that the entire prosperous city of freedom was full of black smoke.
From time to time, you can still see the light of local firefights.
A few minutes later, the starfighter flew to the western area. I saw that the entire plain area was surrounded by layers of isolation nets, and the perimeter was heavily guarded. The scene was quite shocking.
Looking into the quarantine area.
They are all tall steel buildings. These steel buildings are specially built and all the windows are welded shut.
However, in the outer areas of each building, black heads can be seen everywhere.
Countless people in quarantine cannot even enter the isolation room and can only gather on the floor.
Soon the starfighter Gray Dove landed.
A group of soldiers wearing mechanical armor gathered around to verify their identity.
Haiyue picked up the identity card and handed it over, and the soldiers who surrounded him retreated.
"Where's the Speaker?"
Haiyue asked directly.
"My Lord, the President of the Arles Council, is patrolling the C2 quarantine area."
The leader of the team saluted and replied.
After Haiyue heard this, she led Su Mo towards the C2 area.
Su Mo looked along the way and saw people gathered in the open space around him, everyone howling in pain. There were red contaminated blood spots on his skin and face, and some of his skin even ulcerated.
Doctors wearing protective suits can be seen patrolling various gathering points under the protection of soldiers.
Su Mo asked Haiyue in a low voice.
"The situation in the Federation does not seem to be very optimistic."
"Actually, the Speaker of the Arles Council has taken preventive measures in advance and evacuated most of the people into underground refuge areas before the negative energy tide came, but the situation is still not optimistic."
Haiyue sighed and replied.
"Yeah."
Su Mo nodded slightly.
Soon Su Mo and Haiyue arrived at the C2 area and saw the President of the Arles Council. He was instructing the doctors and managers in this area.
"No matter what, we must ensure everyone's survival and receive the greatest protection."
"Yes."
"Also, if they really can't be saved, we must ensure that they leave with dignity."
"Understood."
At this moment, a female federal official hurried over and reported to the President of the Arles Council.
"Master of the Council of Arles."
"What's wrong?"
The President of the Arles Council stopped and replied.
"It's like this. The supplies in the quarantine area are in urgent need and the funds are not enough. Can you approve some more for us?"
The female federal official asked anxiously.
Arles frowned when he heard this.
At this time, the councilor who was following Arles quickly whispered to Arles.
"Your Majesty, the funds you have approved for these aspects are already a lot, which is completely over the budget. And in these extraordinary times, there is no such a large amount of funds, so we can no longer approve it."
Arles raised his hand to interrupt the congressman and said to the female official next to him.
"You go down first. I will find a way to deal with the financial matters."
"Okay!"
The female official then retreated.
"President of the Council of Arles."
Haiyue shouted at this time.
When Arles heard Haiyue calling him, he turned around and looked over. When he saw Su Mo, he also said in surprise.
"Su Mo, why are you here and you didn't tell me in advance? Did something happen?"
"Nothing's wrong, I'm just a little worried. Come and have a look. You should be busy first and take care of the matter before we talk."
Su Mo shook his head and replied.
Arles was not polite to Su Mo and continued to patrol the quarantine area.
Su Mo just followed and watched quietly.
I have to say that the more I look at it, the more shocking it becomes. In fact, people who are directly corrupted or mutated by negative energy contamination do not suffer much.
The most painful things are these, neither up nor down.
They are all struggling.
At around one o'clock in the morning, Arles finished his inspection, and Su Mo followed him back to his office in the administrative building.
Haiyue said: "Master Chairman of the Parliament, you and Master Su Mo haven't eaten yet. I'll go prepare some food for you."
"No, let's just drink tea and chat."
Su Mo also saw that Arles had no appetite, so he refused.
"But."
Haiyue still wanted to say something.
Arles raised his hand to signal Haiyue to step back.
Haiyue hesitated for a moment, and finally withdrew.
Soon only Arles and Su Mo were left in the office.
Arles smiled bitterly and said to Su Mo: "I neglected you today and didn't treat you well. You finally came back once, but I let you wander around the quarantine area with me for a long time."
"It's okay, just take a walk. I took a look just now. There are a lot of mutated people, and the riots in various areas of the city don't seem to have subsided yet."
"Well, according to preliminary calculations, the number of mutated people is around five million. In fact, the main reason is that genetic medicines have not been fully popularized. Many people have not even been injected with Type I genetic medicines. Not to mention Types II and III. After all, when negative energy surges, even those of us who are injected with V-type genetic medicine feel uncomfortable, so large-scale mutations are normal.”
"Well, by the way, can I ask you something?"
Su Mo pondered for a few seconds, nodded and responded.
"What happened?"
Arles replied with a smile.
"I was responsible for escorting two days ago and left the City of Stars for a few days. But after I came back, I felt that the whole world had changed. What was going on."
Su Mo asked curiously.
"It's like this. Due to the surge of negative energy, the front line was attacked by a wave of monsters, and a message for help was sent to the Star Ring City. Then the Lord of Ikaroya issued a comprehensive support order, and the Star Ring City will mobilize a large number of Troops rush to the front line to support. At the same time, all countries are required to send heavy troops for early support. Now the federation is also frantically gathering troops. ”
Arles explained.
"There is no problem in supporting the front line, but now the rear is in chaos. Shouldn't some troops be sent to support first, and the remaining troops should be stabilized in the rear?"
Su Mo was also very surprised after hearing this.
"You are right, this should be done under normal circumstances. But the Lord of Ikaroya is not like this. The order she issued is very harsh, requiring that the main force must be deployed in full force. For this reason, many people stood up to protest. But Su Mo, you should know very well that you cannot refuse the order of the Lord of Ikaroya, even if the order is wrong.”
Arles raised his head and said to Su Mo seriously.
Su Mo was silent for a while and finally nodded.
"You're right."
"By the way, Su Mo, I have something to discuss with you."
Arles hesitated and said solemnly to Su Mo.
"What is it? Just say it."
Su Mo was also a little curious. It was rare to see Arles be so hesitant when talking about things. (End of chapter)
