Mysterious Resurrection: What If

Chapter 86 The Squad (Part 1)

In the final stages of the raid, the captains on the moon are facing a life-or-death decision, while at the same time, anomalies are occurring in DQ City.
At headquarters, Liu Xiaoyu was rushing towards the conference room with a thick stack of documents in her arms. Since Yang Jian was on the moon and could not be contacted, she was temporarily transferred to another position.

Along the way, she saw many staff members carefully holding up a thin line wrapped in gold. This thin line was particularly long. Liu Xiaoyu had already run through at least three passages, but she still couldn't see the end of the thin line.

"Xiaoyu! Be careful! This thing is very dangerous!"

A middle-aged man in work clothes stopped her.

"Uncle Li, I have a very urgent situation to report to Professor Wang, but all communications at headquarters are currently shut down, so I have to run there."

"Professor Wang ordered the headquarters communications to be shut down for half an hour because of this."

Uncle Li pointed to the thin thread wrapped in gold on the ground and continued in a low voice, "A Class C paranormal item: a ghost phone. It is said that the ghost that makes the ghost call came from inside it."

Liu Xiaoyu was shocked when she heard this and subconsciously took a step back. She had seen that phone before during the out-of-control incident, but she did not expect that there would be such a long thin line trailing behind it.

She has always been terrified of supernatural phenomena transmitted through sound; the incident involving Tong Qian, in which more than a dozen operators died, is still vivid in her memory.

"Let's go, time is of the essence, I'll take you there."

Uncle Li took the documents from Liu Xiaoyu's hand and led her quickly through the dense crowd.

After turning a corner, there was a large conference room ahead, which Wang Xiaoming had converted into a temporary combat command post.

Cao Yanhua stood in the center, directing a group of staff.

"Be careful! He's going to hit you hard!"

"First, install the gold base!"

"Come here! Help him hold this up!"

They were carefully placing an old-fashioned hand-cranked telephone in a transparent gold box. Wang Xiaoming was sitting in front of a computer in the corner, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered some problem.

Without a second thought, Liu Xiaoyu immediately took the document from Uncle Li's hand, ran up to Wang Xiaoming, and said:

"Professor Wang! The snow in DQ City has suddenly gone out of control! Cao Yang and Liu San have lost contact. The satellite system is intermittent due to the ghost ship's signal, and there is no way to find them."

"What did you say?!"

Cao Yanhua's expression changed upon hearing this. He was about to raise his hand and slam it on the table, but after glancing at the old hand-cranked telephone, he put it down again. He said in a deep voice:

"DQ City has spiraled out of control at such a critical time?! Could it be caused by the King Organization?"

"No," Wang Xiaoming said.

“With Cao Yang’s abilities, even if he can’t win, he can escape. But he didn’t return to headquarters. It seems they’ve run into trouble. I originally planned to send the captain to deal with the anomaly in DQ City after the raid was over, but it seems I won’t be able to do it now. Liu Xiaoyu, check who the responsible persons are who can still act now.”

Liu Xiaoyu nodded emphatically.

"Understood!"

He opened the thick file in his hand and read out the names of the responsible persons one by one.

"Lin Bei...is suspected of being attacked by a vengeful spirit of a consciousness type and is currently suppressing his recovery on the bus...unable to move."

Zhou Deng... is too busy dealing with the ghosts that escaped from Ghost Lake after the hurricane spiraled out of control in the coastal areas to have time.

"Wen Zhong...last week's report indicated he went to a village and hasn't come out yet; we can't contact him."

"After losing the election, Captain Jiang Shangbai returned to his social media circle and is currently dealing with the previously out-of-control vengeful ghosts in Dajing City."

"After killing a core member of the King's organization, Eric has been recuperating in their tribe and is unable to move."

"Sun Rui... stayed in Dahan City to investigate a letter, refusing headquarters' request for assistance..."

"Zhang Lei... Gao Ming Chen Yi Zhongshan"

Liu Xiaoyu searched for a full five minutes, but couldn't find a single person in charge available. There had been far too many paranormal events lately. Starting with the three S-level vengeful ghosts going out of control in Dajing City, the number of paranormal incidents had increased almost exponentially, with city after city falling victim to them. Headquarters was overwhelmed. "Professor Wang, we... we're out of manpower..."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiaoming said, "No, there's another team."

"besides?"

Liu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and exclaimed in surprise, "Professor Wang, are you talking about those ghost tamers from Yang Jian's team?!"

She knew Yang Jian very well; Liu Xiaoyu could hear him eating and sleeping almost every day and night. She was also very familiar with his teammates.

“That’s right.” Wang Xiaoming nodded.

"After the starving ghost incident, Dachang City now has a very high safety level. Our security department has calculated that even without a person in charge, Dachang City has at least a 12-hour safety period."

"but.."

Liu Xiaoyu's face darkened again.

"That squad only obeys Yang Jian's orders, especially Zhang Han. Last time, he hung up on headquarters and said something like, 'If you have a temper, go find his captain.'"

Wang Xiaoming pulled out a phone.

"I will arrange for someone to talk to them. At this point in time, they have no choice but to agree. Even if Yang Jian were here, he would still send them out."

Cao Yanhua then walked up and patted Liu Xiaoyu on the shoulder.

"Xiaoyu, go ahead and get busy. It's going to be very dangerous here."

"good"

After speaking, Liu Xiaoyu left, glancing back as she went. She didn't know what would happen next, but there was no fear in the eyes of the people in the conference room.

Without lingering, Liu Xiaoyu jogged off to the next location. She still had a lot of things to do. With headquarters communications down, many things still had to be communicated using the most primitive methods of communication.

DQ City.

"Zhang Han, what do you mean by love?"

"I do not know."

"So do you think the captain will fall in love with me?"
"will not."

"Hey! Can't you say something nice? With a figure like mine, I'd have a bunch of men chasing after me anywhere."

"Um, Huang Ziya, I also think it's unlikely."

"Feng Quan, shut up! Go sit in the front! Can't you take a proper shower before your next mission?!"

"I don't want to sit with you. You're covered in technology. Tong Qian, move aside, I'll move over."

"Hey, don't push me! You're getting mud all over my hair."

"Feng Quan! All the dirt on you flew into my mouth!"

"Stop arguing, everyone be quiet, we're almost there."

A cold wind blew into the car through the gaps in the windows, making the people inside shiver.

"Pah, Feng Quan, you haven't showered for days."

"I haven't washed it since I started controlling this ghost queen, so what?"

"Roll up the windows! I told you to roll up the windows!"
