Chapter 1213: Disaster-Control Commander Xia Qing

The most dangerous thing right now isn't the red qi-harm grass that grows tall and blooms to release toxic gas when it emerges from the high-risk zone, nor the active qi-evolved anaerobic bacteria in the soil, but the rapidly spreading super-evolved Salmonella in the soil.

Microbial evolution is graded as ordinary, intermediate, advanced, and super. Salmonella is a pathogenic bacterium; ordinary Salmonella entering an animal's body causes abdominal pain, vomiting, arthritis, and meningitis; ordinary-evolved Salmonella entering an organism quickly causes multi-organ failure; infection with this super-evolved bacterium means death for the vast majority of people.

So the danger level of this microorganism is off the charts—it absolutely cannot spread!

Xia Qing asked calmly, "Does Mountain Fifty have any agent that can kill super-evolved Salmonella?"

Zhang He's voice was taut. "We've already used it all up. We only have agents that kill advanced evolved bacteria."

"Copy that. Sister He, keep monitoring changes in the danger zone and ensure personnel safety. I'll arrive with supplies within twenty minutes to contain the spread of the super-evolved bacteria and the red qi-harm grass."

"Copy that." Hearing the timeframe Xia Qing gave, Zhang He's emotions stabilized considerably.

After hanging up, Xia Qing handed over the management authority of Center Nine to Deputy Director Yue Haiying. She drove out of Center Nine while contacting her idol through the walkie-talkie. "Territory Seven, connect me to the Lord of Territory Seven immediately."

"Copy that." Territory Seven's agent Zheng Chen responded.

Hearing Xia Qing call for the Lord of Territory Seven instead of Third Brother, everyone held their breath and waited.

"Speak." In less than half a minute, Zhang San's calm voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Xia Qing gripped the steering wheel with one hand and pressed the walkie-talkie button with the other, reporting calmly, "Third Brother, the super Salmonella in the original high-danger zone beneath Peak Three of Mountain Fifty is spreading rapidly, and red qi-harm grass has grown there. The current total area is over four mu. Can you spare some hands on your end? If you can't, I'll go straight to your office to pick up emergency supplies and rush to Mountain Fifty for disaster control."

Hiss—

Hearing Xia Qing's words, the lords all sucked in a breath of the night's cold air. Everyone was worried about the disaster spreading at Mountain Fifty, and at the same time astonished that Xia Qing's relationship with the big shot had become close enough for her to enter the boss's office directly to take supplies.

Super Salmonella is an ultra-high-risk pathogenic bacterium, meeting the standard for activating the emergency disaster-control procedure.

However, Zhang San, the only person in Northern Region One who can activate the disaster-control command procedure, is currently leading a team to tackle the qi-evolved anaerobic bacteria in the soil and cannot spare the energy to command disaster control.

He dripped two drops of blue liquid from the dropper into the test tube, gestured for Zheng Chen to press the walkie-talkie button, and ordered, "Mountain Fifty administrator Xia Qing, immediately activate the emergency disaster-control procedure for Mountain Fifty, report to the Base Management Department, notify all territories in Northern Region One. I authorize you to take full command of disaster control. Have Zheng Chen open the door for you. The supplies are in the second drawer on the left side of my desk—take them yourself. Have Daya hand you the agent that kills super Salmonella. Zhang He knows how to use it."

"Copy that."

Fifteen seconds later, the off-road vehicle screeched to a halt outside the south gate of Territory Seven. Xia Qing jumped out, passed inspection, and was led by Zheng Chen straight to her idol's office.

Zheng Chen, who didn't have clearance to enter this laboratory, opened the door and waited outside. After Xia Qing entered the room, she took three Yishi protective casings she had made directly from the second drawer of her idol's desk, stuffed them into her pocket, walked out, took the agent case Daya handed her, turned, and sprinted out of Territory Seven at top speed.

The situation was urgent, and using Yishi was the quickest and most effective way Xia Qing could think of to control the spread of the disaster; her idol had also agreed. However, there weren't enough Yishi in her idol's drawer, so Xia Qing needed to return to her own territory to get Yishi and a flight device.

Jumping into the vehicle and turning around, Xia Qing used the walkie-talkie to contact her own territory. "Territory Three, open the south gate for me."

Now every second counted; Xia Qing had no time to open the door herself, nor to have Tang Huai open it for her.

Er Yong responded over the walkie-talkie, "Copy that."

Xia Qing pushed the off-road vehicle to top speed and began deploying disaster control. "Captain Tan, are you there?"

"Here." Tan Junjie responded calmly.

"Captain Tan, broadcast a notice throughout the entire territory that the Mountain Fifty experimental zone has entered an emergency disaster-control state, and report it to the Safe Zone."

"Copy that." Tan Junjie replied.

Xia Qing called Yang Jin. "Blue Dragon Squad Captain Yang, are you there?"

Already prepared, Yang Jin pressed the walkie-talkie button. "Here."

"Captain Yang, the emergency disaster-control procedure has been activated at Peak Three of Mountain Fifty. We need evolver support. Can you spare twenty evolvers wearing Grade Three or above protective suits to head over?"

"I can. I'll lead the team and arrive within fifteen minutes."

"Thanks." Xia Qing pressed the button again. "Xin Yu, are you there?"

Xin Yu answered calmly, "Here. Owl Owl is already prepared."

"Good. Have Owl Owl patrol the airspace above the danger zone at Peak Three of Mountain Fifty, and share the real-time monitoring feed with Zhang He. I'll have Zhang He contact you."

"Copy that."

"Territory Eleven's Brother Huo, Territory Four's Brother Zhao, are you there?"

Already prepared, Huo Zhun came online. "Here. Di Ming and I have put on Grade Three protective suits and can depart at any time."

Zhao Ze immediately came online. "Here. I've put on a Grade Three protective suit and can depart at any time."

Zhao Ze is not an evolver, but the drainage ditch outside the Mountain Fifty danger zone was built by him and his crew, so Xia Qing had to requisition him.

"Good. Brother Huo and Brother Ming, head to the south gate of Territory Three now, take my off-road vehicle, pick up Brother Zhao, and rush to Peak Three of Mountain Fifty. Brother Huo and Brother Ming protect Brother Zhao's safety. Brother Zhao is in charge of on-site command and inspecting the drainage ditch outside the danger zone."

"Copy that."

"Copy that."

……

Xia Qing issued one dispatch order after another, jumped out of the off-road vehicle outside the south gate of Territory Three, and rushed into her own territory.

The loudspeakers of Northern Region One's territories were broadcasting Tan Junjie's disaster-control notice, and tension filled the air everywhere inside the territories. Tang Huai, who had long been waiting at the north gate of Territory Two, shouted loudly, "Sister Qing, you can do it!"

This was an emergency disaster-control state—no one could leave their own territory without permission, otherwise Tang Huai would have rushed out long ago.

Er Yong, guarding the south gate of Territory Three, was also infected by Tang Huai's enthusiasm. He waved his arm and shouted, "Sister Qing, you can do it!"

"Good."

Xia Qing acknowledged, and sprinted toward her home at top speed. Wolf Lao Er, who was patrolling the territory, noticed Xia Qing had returned and immediately followed.

"Lao Er, there's an emergency at Mountain Fifty—I have to go over." Xia Qing ran while telling her companion the current situation. "Don't worry, Lao Er. It'll be fine."

She ran home, swiped open the entry door, first tucked the little Flying Fur into its luxurious wooden nest, then rushed upstairs to grab a pack of Yishi, then took out a single-person flight device bound with two giant eagle claws, and finally grabbed a handful of food from the fridge before rushing back out.
