Chapter 19: Top-Level Meeting

~9 min read 1,733 words

Bunker second floor.

As the lowest functional floor, although the foot traffic here is very large, most of them are bottom-level people.

Except for the Bunker Security Bureau, the Bunker Government Affairs Bureau, and their subordinate departments, such as the Bunker Health Bureau staff, almost no high-level people would come to the second floor.

They think it's dirty.

Especially since the bottom level is currently having an epidemic. In order to prevent the epidemic from spreading to floors above the fourth floor—

Now the passage from the second floor to the third floor is almost completely blocked.

Even people from higher floors who want to come down need to be quarantined, and the procedures are cumbersome.

This naturally triggered dissatisfaction among all Bunker citizens on the first residential floor.

They hung banners to protest, went on strike, recorded the miserable state of their families, and also accused the high-level of despising human rights.

But it was of no use.

The concern for human rights from above for those below is condescending.

Black Lives Matter is indeed very correct, but if a black person at the bottom level provokes a true white aristocrat, especially a high-level power holder...

They would probably die silently.

This is the Bunker. This is certainly not just, but it is indeed a very "correct" approach.

Regarding an epidemic that cannot be resolved, the high-level believes that sacrificing a portion of people is better than sacrificing everyone.

For several consecutive days, the passages to the upper floors have been closed.

This is bitter for the bottom-level people, and of course, it is also bitter for the grassroots staff of the Bunker Health Bureau.

Coughing, vomiting, the sour smell emitted by various liquids in the air... these things are all over the first residential floor and the second functional floor.

Health Bureau staff actually easily empathize with bottom-level people; aren't they also bottom-level people?

They just hope that the high-level can send support.

Originally, they thought this isolation from the high-level would last for a long time, but they didn't expect that today, the second floor suddenly changed.

Hundreds of doctors from the high-level, wearing hazmat suits, descended from the high-level for the first time in history.

Not only doctors, but also the Bunker Police Force carrying weapons followed.

This is a subordinate department of the Bunker Security Bureau, used to suppress internal Bunker chaos.

The purpose of their sudden arrival today is because a magical building appeared on the second floor of the Bunker.

That huge hospital, with a style completely different from other buildings on the second floor, suddenly descended into the Bunker.

One hour ago.

The hospital that appeared out of thin air attracted many bottom-level people to watch.

At the bottom level, the place where gang thugs would absolutely not provoke or cause trouble is the hospital.

And this hospital that appeared suddenly had a sense of technology that people couldn't describe. It was like a building from the future.

Patients were eager to be treated, so when a hospital appeared at this time, naturally some people couldn't help but go to explore.

As people kept pouring into this hospital, someone soon shouted:

"This was brought by a person codenamed Wen Xishu! My god! This is a level 6 hospital!"

"We are saved! We are saved!"

"Wen Xishu, Wen Xishu! He brought a level 6 hospital! Quick! Go call the Health Bureau people!"

If you observe carefully, you will find that a small number of people are just emphasizing the name Wen Xishu, not caring about the hospital's arrival itself.

Under the guidance of these people, soon people's attention shifted to the owner, Wen Xishu.

More and more people rushed in.

For bottom-level people, what they like to talk about most is the strength of those on the Heavenly Ladder.

Someone on the Heavenly Ladder obtained what sequence, although the level is not high enough, a certain person's individual combat ability is definitely stronger than someone else's...

But their actual amount of information is very small.

Just like how they shouted Wen Xishu's name, and this name also spread in a very short time...

But not a single person mentioned that this is the younger brother of the extreme villain Wen Zhaohua.

Because they don't know at all how vicious Wen Zhaohua is, nor do they know that the whole Wen family are "bad seeds."

Naturally, they wouldn't recognize Wen Xishu. But under the guidance of some people, people began to

be moved, carnival, vent!

Wen Xishu's name also spread rapidly.

The suddenly appearing level 6 hospital brought them great hope.

But not long after, this news also reached the high-level.

That group of high-level security troops wearing explosion-proof suits soon drove the bottom-level Bunker citizens out of the hospital.

The troops from the high-level occupied this hospital.

Bunker, sixteenth floor.

As the eighth functional floor, this is the functional floor that only the absolute power holders of the Bunker can enter.

The entire functional floor has almost more than half of the Bunker's level 6 facilities and level 5 facilities.

But such a most luxurious functional floor only serves a very small number of people.

The director of the first branch of the Bunker Security Bureau, the director of the first branch of the Bunker Government Affairs Bureau, the director of the second branch of the Bunker Security Bureau...

These people are currently sitting in the "conference room."

This is a level 7 facility: Conference Room.

Level 6 represents advancement, excellence, and technology. But level 7 often possesses a certain special power.

The level 7 conference room will automatically generate various data, informing the managers of the latest changes in the Bunker.

Population changes, population age changes, population health status changes, birth rate, death rate.

And—Bunker building distribution, material distribution.

At this very moment, the Bunker Security Bureau and the Bunker Government Affairs Bureau, the two largest departments in the Bunker, with all their branch directors, have initiated a meeting at the suggestion of the Bunker Council of Elders.

The content of the meeting is the suddenly arrived massive materials, as well as the level 6 facility.

"Wen Zhaohua absolutely helped him. Otherwise, how could someone who has never climbed the tower achieve a level 6 completion rate in the Mysterious Tower?"

"Directors, it can almost be confirmed now that Wen Xishu and Wen Zhaohua indeed have a great connection. I think we should initiate higher-intensity interrogation."

The one speaking is not the director of the Bunker Security Bureau, but the secretary of the first branch of the Security Bureau.

The director of the second branch of the Bunker Security Bureau, with a big belly and a Mediterranean hairstyle, has a very leader-like demeanor. He said with a quite friendly smile:

"Little comrade, don't rush to conclusions. We also don't rule out that Comrade Wen Xishu is indeed a genius at exploring the Mysterious Tower."

"And, the Xun family also mentioned the Three Towers Joint Development Principle. The exploration of the Mysterious Tower is about to unfold in full swing. Wen Xishu being able to climb the tower for the first time and achieve such an achievement means he is very suitable for the Security Bureau to use."

"Whether it's a death-row prisoner or a social elite, as long as they can explore the Three Towers, they have value."

At this time, a white woman from the third branch of the Bunker Security Bureau, with quite high cheekbones, a high nose, and sharp eyes, said:

"Don't forget one thing: the atrocities of the Wen family. If they appear again in the Tower of Desire to kill indiscriminately, it is very likely to lead to us being unable to explore the Tower of Desire."

"If Wen Zhaohua really helped Wen Xishu, then one cannot conclude that Wen Xishu is a genius. The Wen family members should all die. How can such a person be reused?"

"Squeezing out his clues about Wen Zhaohua and then executing him is what should be done right now."

The sixth director is the youngest among all Security Bureau directors, 37 years old, who became a director based on his outstanding military achievements.

His sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, paired with a square face, make him look quite imposing:

"I just said this woman would only ruin things, right? Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"How about this: someone brought back a super facility that can change the medical conditions of all Bunker people, and significantly eased the pressure on bottom-level materials, and even possibly solved this epidemic. We don't reward such a person, but want to execute him?"

"Is the law of this Bunker really decided by slamming the table? Or are you already prepared to smear him?"

At this time, the first director of the Bunker Government Affairs Bureau suddenly spoke:

"Stop arguing, everyone. Let's look at the things this time first. Although I advocate executing Wen Xishu..."

"However, public opinion is probably not easy to suppress, unless we completely ignore the medicine Wen Xishu brought."

The second director of the Security Bureau said:

"It seems this medicine is unusual?"

Everyone's gaze also looked toward the tabletop in the middle of the conference room, and soon, someone gasped:

"This is the level 6 hospital material, completely different from level 4 and level 5."

In the center of the conference room, a huge three-dimensional image appeared.

The content on the image was the remarks on the medicine Wen Xishu brought.

【Level 6 Medicine—After use, eliminates all viral diseases, and within 15 days, provides immunity to all diseases. Remark 1: Cannot heal injuries; this medicine is only effective for curing diseases.】

【Remark 2: The medicine can only achieve the effect of eliminating diseases, but cannot supplement nutrition.】

【Remark 3: This medicine has a nine-month interval for use.】

Everyone was silent.

The medicine Wen Xishu brought is not possibly able to solve the epidemic disaster at the bottom level; it is absolutely able to solve it.

Everyone knows the meaning of eliminating all viral diseases and providing immunity to all diseases.

"This is the material brought out from the Mysterious Tower; it's truly unreasonable."

As Liu Jinsen's superior, the director of the second branch of the Bunker Security Bureau, he hoped Wen Xishu would survive.

Now, he showed an even more obvious smile.
