Chapter 182 Dreaming
The setting sun sank into the horizon.
When the last ray of light dissipated in the distance, the endless night enveloped Sanqing.
The curfew has been implemented throughout the city. Except for some specific places and department personnel, most citizens are required not to leave their homes. People living in some dangerous areas were evacuated in advance in the afternoon and entered shelters or moved to safe areas.
The army, the disaster prevention bureau, and the forest defense bureau
Knowing that the high-end combat forces will enter the dream space tonight, the Sanqing Municipal Government has to mobilize all its forces to buy them time to act and ensure the safety of the people as much as possible, at least to avoid large-scale casualties.
The armed forces with live ammunition went to various urban areas to fight against the monsters. They are also the backbone of maintaining order and preventing certain evil forces from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.
The soldiers in individual combat armor marched forward, and the bustling neon lights in the city covered them like strange paint; the armored vehicles drove through the empty streets, and the traffic lights kept flashing, which were completely ignored; snipers and a series of high-precision artillery had already occupied the commanding heights in the city, ready to attack the monsters at any time.
Armed helicopters loaded with bullets, transport planes carrying special forces, and drones monitoring the city situation took off one after another, patrolling the urban areas they were responsible for, and from time to time, formations of fighter planes whizzed by with their wake.
This level of war preparedness can be said to be unprecedented in Shanqing City since the Great Disaster, but it is also extremely correct.
After several months of fermentation, the situation of the Hundred Demons Night Parade finally approached the edge of being out of control with the intervention of the Pure Lotus Road.
Although the damage caused by the Hundred Demons Night Parade incident is completely a small part compared to the huge size of Shanqing City, even this level of war preparedness will cause economic losses in one night that exceed the total losses of the previous month.
If it were some irresponsible governments, they would most likely choose the "four-stage" strategy to deal with the crisis.
Yu Ke's arrival changed the situation to some extent.
The various information about the dream space, the strange monsters, and the Pure Lotus Road made the Shanqing Municipal Government believe that if the problem could not be solved in a short period of time, the crisis that the city would face would be far beyond expectations.
The Shanqing Municipal Government might doubt Yu Ke, but they did not dare to question Fang Xuanhe behind him, because in their view, Yu Ke was the one who received Fang Xuanhe's order to come to help.
A temporary loss and a completely collapsed situation in the future, anyone with a little common sense knows how to choose.
In the bowling alley.
Yu Ke and others gathered in front of the huge screen that had been set up to watch the situation in various parts of Shanqing City. The atmosphere was a little silent, and only the reggae music coming from Monkey Brother's headphones could be vaguely heard.
"The panic among the people is still accumulating, providing tremendous energy for the strange monsters in the dream space. We must prevent the vicious cycle from happening, and we will have to decide the winner tonight!"
As one of the main persons in charge of this operation, He Xiong took the initiative to speak.
This level of war preparation, no matter how the Shanqing Municipal Government explains it, the people will feel the danger from it, plus the scene of strange monsters rampant at night, every day of delay will increase the fear.
If the fear of tens of millions of people in Shanqing City accumulates for a long time, the strange monsters born in the dream space will reach a certain level. The strange Buddha last night is the best example!
"Tsk, it's really troublesome. If it weren't for the group of rats hiding in the alien space and the passage needed me to maintain it, I would have to dig them out of the hole and bleed them one by one!"
Monkey Brother put his right arm on Yu Ke's shoulder, and patted the latter's face with his furry palm.
"Brother Yu, this matter is left to you, show them some color."
"Well, I'll do my best."
Yu Ke knew that the dragon blood in his body could not be hidden from Monkey Brother, but he was somewhat helpless to be called brother by a monkey.
More importantly, the other party was really similar to a superhero in his previous life, except for a stick and a golden hoop.
"It's almost time, we have to get ready."
Wang Xuan looked at the time prompt on the upper right corner of the screen and reminded.
The time when the strange monster appeared last night was nearly ten minutes earlier than before. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be earlier tonight.
Monkey Brother didn't waste any words. He did a backflip and landed directly on the bench prepared in advance. Next to him was a cage containing a dream weaver spider.
Although his personality was very eccentric, when it came to the safety of tens of millions of people in Shanqing City, Monkey Brother's face was no longer frivolous. He swept his eyes over the people present and said in a deep voice,
"The dream created by the dream weaver spider can last as long as I want. Once the dream space, the passage in and out of the dream space, begins to collapse, you must rush back immediately. I can only say that you should maintain its existence for as long as possible."
The venom of the dream weaver spider consumes nothing more than spiritual power, and the dream space is a different space after all. No matter how strong Monkey Brother is, he can't save the broken space by himself.
The advance reminder is also to let Yu Ke and others be prepared.
If the dream space can still exist after the mission is completed, then everything can be discussed. If the space collapses, it depends on the speed of Yu Ke and others' retreat.
Yu Ke and others had already anticipated this and had no objection.
It is undoubtedly the most reliable plan to let the avatar Monkey Brother act as the dream maker.
To put it bluntly, the success or failure of the mission depends on their performance.
Soon, several disaster prevention bureau personnel nearby brought some equipment provided by the disaster prevention bureau and the strange shelter with a cart, including a jet backpack that can give people the ability to fly for a short time, several strange shelter objects, and a large amount of ready-to-use healing medicine.
Yu Ke took a rough look and only took the jet backpack. He didn't need the rest, so he left it to others.
"Considering that the potion prepared with the venom of the dream weaver spider is only effective for ten minutes, we prepared ten for each person in advance."
After everyone had distributed the equipment, while the monster had not yet appeared, He Xiong signaled his adjutant to distribute the potion prepared by the Strange Shelter to the team members participating in the operation.
"Ten potions, considering the drug resistance, we can stay in the fantasy dream space for about ninety minutes. Once the potion is exhausted, we must withdraw immediately, otherwise we will not be able to return to the real world through the bridge."
The potion in the special bag was distributed to everyone.
It's not that the Strange Shelter can only do this much, but there is an upper limit to the human tolerance of the venom of the dream weaver spider.
After the internal test of the Strange Shelter, ten is already the limit of the extraordinary. Forcibly taking more can certainly prolong the time, but it will also have a great impact on the mental state of the user.
If it really comes to that point, there is no point in staying in the fantasy dream space, it is better to withdraw.
Of course, there is also a gap between extraordinary people.
Therefore, Yu Ke, Wang Xuan, and He Xiong all received three extra potions.
"Let me repeat the plan again."
When the team members put their backpacks on their waists, He Xiong continued,
"After entering the fantasy dream space, the first goal is to go to the tallest Xiangfeng Commercial Building in the city center. There is a high probability that there is no electricity or other smart devices in the fantasy dream space. Our jet backpacks are specially made to save us the time of climbing stairs."
"After reaching the top floor of the commercial building, with the help of the observation equipment carried by Yu Ke, we will explore Shanqing City in the fantasy dream space as quickly as possible, search for the source of the strange monsters, and then kill them. If you encounter the evil followers of the Pure Lotus Dao on the way, kill them without mercy!"
The observation equipment that can explore the entire city is not small, and it is easy to affect people's activities if they carry it. Yu Ke, who has the imprint space, took the initiative to undertake this task, and also brought some "small items" to deal with possible accidents.
Just as they were discussing their plans after entering the Dream Space, a communicator not far away suddenly stood up and reported,
"Report to the commander, strange activities were discovered in the southeast city."
Yu Ke looked at the time, it was exactly nine o'clock.
The influence of the Dream Space on the real world has increased again!
"Come on, just do it!"
Monkey Brother on the side couldn't wait any longer, he directly reached out to open the cage, grabbed the Dream Weaver Spider from it and slammed it on his face!
