Chapter 238 Could It Be that He Came Here Especially for Me?
"This is an order! Carry it out!"
Su Yi paused, his tone was very tough and cold: "No need to notify her!"
He trusted Jiang Xiaoci very much, but it did not mean that Su Yi and his subordinates also trusted him completely.
At the end of the world, if someone still had some small thoughts of interest factions inside, how could they unite to fight the disaster?
This trend must be nipped in the bud!
"...Yes, Chief."
There was a straightforward agreement from the other end of the phone, but Su Yi understood that they would definitely convey the matter to Jiang Xiaoci.
Jiang Xiaoci would definitely not have any extra actions or statements, but the behavior of these people had already touched Su Yi's bottom line.
Jinling had just recovered a little bit of its vitality, and the third round of doomsday had just begun. The pressure on urban management was still very high, but these people had already begun to have different little thoughts.
People's hearts are complicated and unpredictable, which is also a test that needs to be faced in the doomsday.
"This kind of thing really happened."
Su Yi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled helplessly: "The talent of the Chinese people in power and politics is really unmatched."
"Now it seems... it's not enough for me to just focus on the doomsday mechanism. The plate is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things to consider."
Su Yi murmured and put down the communication device. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a red flame floating outside the door.
This flame is as bright as a flower, quietly suspended in front of him, and it also exudes a warm and gentle feeling.
"This is..."
Su Yi was stunned, raised his hand to touch it, and the flame rushed into his palm with a whoosh and entered his body.
"Don't be afraid."
Dongfang Zhiyuan's voice came from outside the door, a little ethereal, and seemed to be fading away: "This is the wick you have been thinking about. If you hold one, at least you don't have to worry about the heart flayer targeting you again, and the probability of encountering strange things is also small."
"Old man..."
Su Yi was stunned, and suddenly smiled.
He was thinking, with Dongfang Zhiyuan's strange temper, how could he suddenly be willing to take the initiative to do things?
Perhaps he also saw the potential drawbacks of Su Yi's camp, and pitied the masses who not only had to resist the doomsday, but also had to suffer from the intrigues of the upper class, so he wanted to fix these hidden dangers.
......
For the next whole day, Su Yi focused on observing Dongfang Zhiyuan's actions.
After leaving the room, the old man walked straight into the fog. He seemed to have his own positioning instrument. The thick fog could not bring him any obstacles or block his eyes.
The old man did not go to the Jinling General Command as soon as possible, nor did he take the lead in doing a good job of personnel rectification like Jiang Xiaoci, and then rely on the middle and grassroots personnel to deal with the disaster relief work.
The old man first walked around the community where Su Yi was located, and stopped when he passed by the street lamp that had been corroded by man-eating fungi and was abandoned, and slightly raised the lamp stick in his hand.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a slight sound, a flame peeled off from the lamp stick and fell into the street lamp. The street lamp regained its light, and the warm orange light emerged, dispelling the ghost fog within a range of ten meters.
Then the old man walked slowly to the next street lamp and lit it with the power of the scepter.
Soon, residents in the community noticed the changes on the street. In the originally dark fog outside the window, more and more lights appeared.
These lights looked unreal in the fog, and some were shaky and could be extinguished at any time, but the number was increasing, gradually covering most of the community.
"Fuck! What's going on? Did the higher-ups find a way to dispel the fog?"
"Hiss! It must be! The streetlight downstairs actually lit up, dispelling the fog outside my window!"
"It's an old man! I saw it, there's an old man who looks like a cleaner! He's lighting the lamp! His method is as magical as magic!"
"I remember there was news that the chief recruited many magicians... Could this old man be one of them?"
"Ah? No, buddy, take a good look at the scepter in the old man's hand, it's thicker than a cane! Have you ever seen such a big magic wand? If he gets into a fight with someone, he can smash his brain out with one stick!"
The originally quiet community suddenly became noisy, and more and more people noticed the abnormality outside.
As the fog in the community was constantly dispelled, people could even see Dongfang Zhiyuan walking quietly on the street, and saw the old man's seemingly slow but actually fast release.
Su Yi saw it most clearly. He personally witnessed Dongfang Zhiyuan manually lighting up five or six street lamps in different places, and then he gently waved the scepter in his hand and slammed it heavily into the ground.
Then, new lights separated from the five or six lit street lamps and floated towards the damaged street lamps.
One street lamp spread to the next one, and in a few blinks, the street lamps in the entire community were re-lit, and most of the fog in the community had been completely dispelled!
"Damn, it's amazing!"
Su Yi was stunned: "The old man's wicks can not only be given to people, but also to buildings?"
"But if it is distributed like this, will the old man's wicks be enough?"
Su Yi was puzzled, and a little worried that the old man had emptied his own family assets. If he encountered any danger in the future, he might not be able to take out more wicks.
"This is not a wick, but just a piece of light."
Suddenly, Dongfang Zhiyuan's voice sounded in Su Yi's ears. Su Yi was stunned and looked back quickly, but did not find Dongfang Zhiyuan's figure.
"Don't look, you can hear my voice if you hold the wick or are shrouded in light."
"The fog around your residence has been dispelled. People here will no longer be harassed by the mind flayers, and the probability of encountering strange things will also be reduced."
"If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk. It's not good to keep it at home all the time."
After saying this, the old man's voice disappeared.
Su Yi saw that the old man had walked out of the community and began to walk deeper into the city.
"The old man is so powerful!"
Su Yi murmured, and he suddenly realized a problem: "Many of the abilities shown by the old man do not seem to be reflected in his personal data?"
"Is it possible that this is what the mechanism calls the old man's [hiding ability]?"
Su Yi suddenly realized at this moment that what the old man had hidden in exchange was not his own fighting posture, but also many small abilities that didn't seem to be that powerful, but were actually specially used.
"These abilities are indeed very practical, but they don't seem that outrageous. Why would the old man hide them?"
"These hidden abilities can only suppress the old man's talent rating in the mechanism. It seems that there is no special benefit to him..."
"Wait a minute! Could it be that the old man deliberately suppressed his rating in order to be recruited by me?"
Su Yi suddenly had this thought in his mind: "Because I can only recruit SS-level talents, so the old man who was originally SSS-level suppressed his own rating so that he could be recruited by me?"
"Impossible! This is too exaggerated! How can he value me so much? Even though he is a world away, he still wants to help me."
Su Yi shook his head. He was not as narcissistic as Chen Dafeng. This guess was quickly forgotten by Su Yi.
But apart from this speculation, Su Yi can't think of any new reasons for the time being. He can only attribute these behaviors to the weird temper of the powerful.
While Su Yi was thinking about this problem, suddenly the communication broadcast in the community suddenly sounded.
It seems that because the fog in the community has been dispersed, the originally restricted communication system has returned to normal operation.
The voice on the radio announcing the new official document was not a normal staff member, but Jiang Xiaoci.
"Now for the first collective announcement of the Third Doomsday."
"During the third doomsday period, we made adjustments to the main disaster response personnel. In order to better respond to disaster changes and rescue the people, we canceled Jiang Xiaoci's status as commanding prime minister."
"Appoint [Dongfang Zhiyuan] as the new commander-in-chief of the Third Doomsday. He will be fully responsible for all disaster relief matters in the two cities and control all military units and personnel."
"At the same time, Commander-in-Chief Dongfang Zhiyuan has begun the first detailed disaster relief plan for the third apocalypse, personally using his own abilities to dispel the fog and protect the masses."
"According to the current plan, Commander-in-Chief Dongfang Zhiyuan will start from the community where the commander is located and will gradually send magical lights to the entire city."
"The light will dispel the fog and have a strong shielding and resistance effect on mind flayers and all kinds of strange things. All people involved in the fog can follow the lights to carry out necessary activities."
"Here, the commander-in-chief calls on the remaining urban residents who have not seen the lights to wait patiently."
"In addition, the commander-in-chief appointed Ms. Jiang Xiaoci as the leader of the special investigation team of the [Third Doomsday Personnel Management Department], and will start personnel adjustments and purges within the disaster relief team."
"All vicious behaviors such as laziness, abuse of power, and disregard for the needs of the masses will be severely punished in accordance with the law. People in the two cities are welcome to actively report such behaviors."
After this announcement was released in the community, a dedicated person also announced it in the chat channel at the same time.
Everyone immediately paid attention to the appearance of the "newcomer" Dongfang Zhiyuan and was curious about the abilities he showed.
"Dongfang Zhiyuan? Who is he? He has the ability to replace Miss Jiang! This is too exaggerated!"
"Rumor! According to the information from the community, it is said that he is an old man, holding a big cane, and his ability seems to be related to the light!"
"Lighting? This ability is great! The light disc player disperses the fog, doesn't it perfectly restrain the third apocalypse! The leader is so awesome, I feel that no matter what kind of apocalypse it is, he can't be stopped!"
"Isn't that right? When I saw the situation in Xinchang before, they were still struggling in the apocalypse. We here don't feel the pressure of the apocalypse at all. I even think that the apocalypse is a joke in front of our leader!"
"Doesn't this just show that our leader is awesome? Also, when will the old man come? I want to see how big the crutch is and whether it can kill people in one fell swoop like you said."
In the city chat channel, many people felt joy and relief immediately after seeing the official document.
Sure enough, the leader did not disappoint the crowd. On the first night of the third doomsday, he began to sweep away the doomsday!
This is the speed of China’s rescue!
No matter how big a disaster it may be, it will never stop the leadership’s determination to fight against it!
This doomsday does not feel like an apocalypse, and it perfectly reflects that the chief's decision-making is undoubtedly the most suitable for the people of the country, and he has the masses in mind.
After all, no one likes the doomsday where life and death are unpredictable. Rather than experiencing the oppressive feeling of the doomsday, everyone is more willing to enjoy a [safe] doomsday.
Of course, this is how most people feel, so there are waves of praise for Su Yi on the chat channel.
But in addition, many people smelled something different from this simple announcement.
