Chapter 374 Sequence
Time goes back to fifteen minutes ago. When Ranran and the others were still on their way to the elevator room, a major incident had already occurred at the Non-Investigation Bureau Sun Haian and six ministers from various departments were all in the conference room, ready for action.
The head of the Observation Department spoke first, "With the base as the center, the energy magnetic field in the surrounding detection areas has fluctuated to varying degrees."
He said decisively: "It is completely different from the ability level of the Horror Cave. It can be confirmed that the ability users are using their abilities on a large scale."
The head of the logistics department was a little out of shape. "Through energy detection, it was determined that it was the power fluctuation of a person with special abilities. This is probably the first time the observation department has encountered such a situation. How can they confirm it?"
"Why can't we confirm it? You know how strong the energy magnetic field of a terror hole is. The lowest detection standard of our observation equipment is only one-tenth of the smallest terror hole, and the highest can barely receive half of the energy data fed back by the smallest terror hole."
"The fluctuations displayed now barely meet the minimum standard of the equipment, so it certainly cannot be a horror cave."
The head of the Observation Department became more and more excited as he spoke, "Besides the Terror Cave, what else can carry the Terror Cave ability? A person with the ability!"
"So it can only be a large-scale activity of people with special abilities!"
The Minister of Logistics shut his mouth tightly upon hearing this. In order to prevent the Minister of Observation from continuing to pester him, Sun Haian spoke.
"We suspect hostile forces are preparing a large-scale attack."
"This is the reason why we urgently called everyone together. In addition..." Sun Haian frowned slightly, "Minister Qin, adjust your state."
Qin Yu, the head of the logistics department, lowered his head upon hearing this. "I'm sorry, everyone knows the situation at home."
Sun Haian said nothing more.
There was silence in the room for a while, and then the sound was heard again after a while.
Everyone frowned at the news of the enemy's attack, except for the Minister of Exploration who looked relatively relaxed.
"Large-scale attack on the base? What kind of idiot would come up with such a plan?" He said nonchalantly, "The base is the headquarters of the Non-Investigation Bureau. Although it does require a certain degree of secrecy, isn't that for ordinary people to see?"
"There's no need to hide the Dawnbreaker Association, and we can't hide it. If we're really afraid of their attack, we can just disband right here."
Although the words of the Minister of Exploration were harsh, they only conveyed one meaning.
There is a fight in their base camp. If they dare, they will come. They are not the ones who should be afraid.
Sun Hai'an rubbed his forehead with his hand and looked around at the expressions of the people at the table. "This meeting is not called to scare you, and you don't need to be afraid."
As she spoke, she looked at the head of the Exploration Department. "Head of the Exploration Department, Minister Gao knows the level of the base's ability users best. Even I can't compare to them."
"Since he is confident, everyone can rest assured."
"It is indeed as Minister Gao said. The enemy is not a fool without a brain. They will not think of coming to our territory to fight us. What we need to discuss is..."
"The purpose behind their attack."
“What they want.”
Zhong Sheng, the leader of the aftermath team, is the only minister who sits at the table as the team leader.
Because the aftermath group has no director.
"Is it related to the announcement that was issued shortly after the Horror Cave game was launched? From what I understand, although it is just a title, it has become immortal to some extent."
"Eternal life sounds quite tempting even to ordinary people, let alone those with special abilities who often walk on the edge of life and death."
Sun Haian's frown did not loosen. "Are we going to launch an attack just because of this?"
"The other party must be holding more cards in his hand."
The head of the Survey Department nodded. "It was the cards in the other party's hand that we didn't know about that gave them the courage to launch this attack." "Perhaps they are also willing to pay any price, or even unsure of success, but they will do whatever it takes to get what they want."
"It's like a totem of faith that is missing only one piece of a puzzle, and believers are willing to give everything for it."
Gao Yingcai said casually: "Don't use these abstract words, I can understand them, but Brother Zhong can't understand them."
Sun Haian tapped the table with his hand, and the scene returned to silence.
"Xiao Hai is right. What we need to know is what piece of the puzzle the other party wants, so that we can come up with a countermeasure against what they want."
"The things that the bureau needs to protect right now..." Sun Hai'an cast a calm gaze towards the head of the logistics department, "You know best."
"You tell me what the puzzle piece is most likely to be."
The head of the logistics department was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react, and it was Mr. Zhong who helped him out.
"We should not underestimate that new title. I remember there were three survivors in that horror cave. Let's protect them."
"The timing of the opponent's attack makes me doubt this title."
Sun Haian thought for a moment and said, "Vote."
As soon as he finished speaking, five hands were raised at the scene. The Minister of Logistics was stunned for a moment and then raised his hand belatedly.
Sun Haian frowned. "Passed unanimously, included in the protection, sequence... five."
There was a sudden commotion in the room, "So close to the front?"
"Is that title really that important?!"
Sun Haian couldn't explain the reason to everyone. In fact, the protection of Sequence Five was not even enough. If the entire plan could be carried out secretly, she would rank it in Sequence One!
It has nothing to do with the title, but with the specific person.
Ranran's importance to the entire horror cave, as well as the dialogue between her horror cave world and horror cave consciousness... Dingjunshan reported all of it to the Minister of the Supervisory Department.
As the director, she was even one of the only two people in the entire base who knew the news.
This was information that must not be leaked, not even to the ministers around the table.
Sequence five is very good, a position that is neither too high nor too low. If it is too low, it is likely to go wrong due to insufficient protection. If it is too high, it may become the focus of enemy attention due to the leakage of information.
The doctrine of the mean has always been applicable.
Afterwards, the seven-member meeting quickly discussed the [things] from sequence one to ten.
Sun Haian made the final decision, "Immediately implement the protection measures according to the [sequence plan], and now we have the second topic..."
But before she could finish her words, the leader of the observation team appeared outside the room with an anxious look on his face.
Her expression outside the viewing glass window looked... as if she had witnessed a horrific event like the sky falling, but fortunately she was still sane.
Without even a moment's hesitation, he gestured in secret through the glass in the room.
The hand gestures and code words between the six major departments are different, so the meaning of this gesture is only understood by Guan Hai, the director of the Observation Department, and Sun Hai'an, the director of the bureau.
That's one of the three signals in Alert Level 1, meaning...
The enemy attack has arrived.
