ted. Many awakened individuals joined orthodox schools of martial arts. Although he was a master of martial arts, he was still just an ordinary person. To fight against awakened individuals who learn..."Zhou, is that you It's Wang Lin. I guess those two monsters probably came from the river. I'm going to check by the river now and contact you if I find anything."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Lin and the other person rushed to the nearby river. After searching around the riverbank for a while, they found some watermarks at a certain location.
Based on the distribution of the watermarks, it seems like something came out of the river.
Wang Lin called Zhou Bureau again, telling him about the discovery. Zhou Bureau was overjoyed and immediately instructed nearby police officers to focus on checking the waterways.
When Li Lao heard the news, he was deeply worried. If the insect were to be driven into the river by the primal gu, it would be disastrous. Even if the primal gu were dealt with, people would continue to be possessed by the insects.
He rushed to the police station immediately and told Chief Zhou about his worries. Chief Zhou, who had been in a cheerful mood, suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe.
Zhou, the chief, didn't dare to delay and immediately reported the situation. When the city Party secretary heard the news, he was instantly terrified and immediately ordered a strict ban on anyone approaching the river.
He did not tell the general public about the news, fearing it would cause panic. If civilians started fleeing Zhongzhou on a large scale, this small-scale disaster would develop into a national one, and he couldn't bear that responsibility.
Mayor Ma also received a call from the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. The call said that if Mayor Ma needed any help, he should just ask. From now on, bacterial cultivation was paramount. Whether or not they could resolve the disaster depended on the results of the cultivation.
Hearing what the city leader had to say, he felt immense pressure but dared not refuse. All he could do was apply for a more advanced laboratory and technical staff.
The Party Secretary didn't hesitate and immediately notified all the labs in the city, forcefully requiring the technicians to halt their current research and devote all their efforts to cracking the puzzle of the primordial worm.
The entire Zhongzhou biological academic circle began to stir. Subsequently, top biologists from all over the country also joined in, striving to resolve this disaster as quickly as possible.
Association support is also continuously arriving, throughout the Jinhe District, police officers and plainclothes personnel with work badges can be seen everywhere, constantly searching.
Such a scene was posted online, and netizens from other places are guessing what happened in Zhongzhou City this time.
Only netizens in Zhongzhou City felt that the appearance of those people made the air begin to feel oppressive. They started to worry that something dangerous was about to happen.
These videos caused panic in a small area of Zhongzhou City within just a few hours, but because no one knew exactly what was going on, no one fled Zhongzhou.
Wang Lin and the two ran quickly on the river bank. The river was not wide, Zhang Meng could perceive everything inside from one side.
Because everything was just Wang Lin's guess, and ordinary people wanted to search for Hanoi, they could only wear diving suits. So not many people searched, they would just take a second look when passing by the waterway.
Half an hour later, Wang Lin looked at the reservoir in front of him, his heart turned completely cold. He took a deep breath and forced down the worry inside him, "I hope I'm wrong!"
The two people found staff near the reservoir, borrowed a boat, and started to investigate little by little.
The reservoir was huge, taking a full twenty minutes to traverse. They had only checked half of it, and Wang Lin stood on the boat, letting out a small sigh of relief. He should have been wrong.
After another ten minutes of checking, Zhang Meng's face suddenly changed. He growled in a low voice, "Wang Lin!"
Wang Lin was about to ask him something, but when he saw Zhang Meng's gloomy expression, he was taken aback. He hurriedly held up two fingers and looked at the water again.
Zhang Meng understood, he slowly shook his head, and stretched out a finger. This time Wang Lin was completely panicked, cursing in his heart, "These two monsters aren't together yet It's over!"
Zhang Meng signaled Wang Lin not to panic, first requesting support. They would continue to investigate, maybe they were just a bit further away.
Wang Lin nodded and then gestured with his hand. Zhang Meng saw it and gestured back. He nodded in understanding.
I pulled out my phone and sent Zhou Ju a text message, explaining the situation here and asking him to contact the mayor to arrange for support from the association.
As Wang Lin cannot swim, he was worried that Zhang Meng would be unable to handle the transformed village chief alone in the water. To ensure everything went smoothly, he applied for support and directly apprehended him.
After the investigation ended, the two continued to drift on the boat. There was only the village head who had undergone a change in the reservoir, and that Taoist priest didn't know where he had fled to again.
Wang Lin stared at the lake surface, his mind racing. "Could he have gone back" The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. "Perhaps because he's an Awakener, he's retained his rationality even after the anomaly."
"If it were me, under a city-wide manhunt, the only way to hide would be to keep changing directions. There's no chance on land, so I'd have to go into the river."
He relayed his idea to Chief Zhou again. Chief Zhou wasted no time and immediately ordered people to search along the river.
Now the whole Jinhui district has almost been checked, and there are already many places with repeated checks. Fortunately, someone can be sent out.
Soon, a car drove towards the reservoir. Wang Lin didn't dare to go into the water or shout. He could only raise his hand and wave it continuously.
The people in the car also noticed Wang Lin. They pulled their car to the side of the reservoir and got out three men. The leader was about to speak, but Wang Lin hurriedly made a shushing gesture, then operated the small boat to dock.
The two groups of people, after greeting each other, got straight to the point and began devising a battle plan.
Among the three, one person couldn't swim either, so their plan excluded him and Wang Lin.
Zhang Meng and the other two formed a trio, donned their newly bought scuba suits, and dove into the water one after another.
Wang Lin on shore smiled and nodded to the other person, but hid behind a tree and stared intently at the surface of the lake. If the three of them couldn't resolve things in the water, they would have no choice but to drag the village chief ashore to deal with.
As time passed, ripples began to appear on the lake's surface, and then it started to churn violently. Wang Lin clenched his fists tightly, a resolute determination forming in his heart: he must find an opportunity to learn how to swim.
No one knows how strong the village head is after his transformation. The people who came to support him are also at the Lianxin realm, and it's unknown if they are a match for the village head.
About ten minutes later, the waves on the lake began to subside. It seemed the battle was over. As time passed, Wang Lin's heart tightened with anxiety once again.
He stared intently at the lake surface, and the people around him did the same. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Not until a head wearing goggles surfaced did the two finally let out a sigh of relief.
As the three figures appeared one by one, Wang Lin and his companion immediately went to greet them.
One of them carried a body to the shore and heavily threw it to the ground. The other two limped forward, supporting each other, until they reached Wang Lin and his companion.
Once he took the helmet off, he started cursing.
This goddamn dog is really **ing fierce!tted his chest, "I promise not to disappoint the boss!""Well, not bad, keep it up!""Oh no!"Zhang Meng, who was standing by the side, finally couldn't hold back. He ran away with his hand covering his...
