Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Across the door, the empty hall in front of Li Yu undoubtedly indicated that an unexpected situation had indeed occurred during the reset.

Beside him, Cyborg said, "It seems that there were some problems with the deep reboot, or it is possible that for some reason, the staff did not enter the resettlement area."

Li Yu nodded: "It's possible, we can only go in and see if there are any clues."

Cyborg nodded.

Li Yu and Ganggu cautiously pushed open the door and walked in under the concerned gazes of others.

The once familiar lobby of the building now seemed a little weird because it was too empty.

They moved forward cautiously, observing their surroundings. There was a faint smell in the air, a bit like a burnt smell...

Really no one.

The current results also prove that Leng Jing was right.

If they had not chosen to go with Leng Jing at that time, but insisted on going to the resettlement area, their current outcome would probably not be so good.

Is it true, as Leng Jing said, that everyone in the resettlement area has been killed?

Li Yu walked to the information desk in the hall and swiped his ID on the instrument, intending to use his on-the-job status to check whether there were other people on the entire floor.

Just after the credentials were refreshed, the screen on the boot desk suddenly lit up.

The large screen, which was originally used to warn of emergencies and display task schedules, now had new text appearing line by line.

[Exception handling bureau reset completed.]

[Due to the serious infiltration of abnormal things, the affected personnel cannot completely eliminate the abnormal influence. Under the instruction of the Stability Department, the relevant personnel are strictly isolated and sealed. ]

[The Dayuan City Abnormal Processing Bureau suffered heavy personnel losses. According to the relevant reconstruction agreement, the Dayuan City Abnormal Processing Bureau will begin reconstruction. ]

[Zhuang Chenggong is temporarily appointed as the Director of the Abnormal Handling Bureau, and Ganggu is appointed as the Deputy Director. ]

[There are no survivors in the service department. Wang Yu is the director of the service department. Please ask Director Wang Yu to replenish the service department as soon as possible. 】

[The Operations Department has suffered a huge loss of personnel. Ganggu will temporarily take over as the Director of the Operations Department. The Operations Team 1 has suffered a serious loss of personnel. Ganggu will temporarily take over as the Captain of the Operations Team 1. The Operations Team 2 will maintain its original structure. The subsequent team structures will be cancelled. Minister Ganggu will be requested to replenish the Operations Department as soon as possible.]

[The Cognition Department has suffered a huge loss of personnel. Liu Yi will temporarily serve as the Director of the Cognition Department and concurrently serve as the Director of the Abnormal Cognition Reversal Section. Please ask Director Liu Yi to replenish the staff of the Cognition Department as soon as possible.]

[The Containment Department has suffered a huge loss of personnel. Li Yu will temporarily take over as the Director of the Containment Department. Please ask Director Li Yu to replenish the staff of the Cognition Department as soon as possible. ]

[The Research Department has suffered a huge loss of personnel. Zhuang Chenggong will temporarily serve as the Director of the Research Department. Director Zhuang Chenggong is requested to replenish the staff of the Research Department as soon as possible. ]

[No personnel in the Reality Stabilization Department were injured this time, and there are no personnel changes in the Reality Stabilization Department.]

【The above appointments are effective immediately. 】

After reading the above information, both Ganggu and Li Yu felt an information explosion.

But the most important point is that they all got promoted.

To be more precise, the people above them have disappeared. Li Yu and Ganggu skipped the positions of supervisor and deputy minister and were directly promoted to minister, which can be described as a rocket-like leap.

But now there is an embarrassing problem.

Even though their positions have been promoted, only one in ten of their staff remains.

The total number of staff and temporary workers in Dayuan City Abnormal Handling Bureau is over a thousand, but now there are less than a hundred of them left... I am afraid that the normal performance of the functions of the Abnormal Handling Bureau will be affected in the future.

Li Yu looked at Cyborg and pointed out the most critical issue at the moment: "Can you take a look at the situation of those people who are isolated and sealed? Is there any way to rescue them? If they can be released, the Abnormal Processing Bureau can still operate normally. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to maintain the status quo."

Cyborg nodded.

He tried to use his deputy director's authority to inquire about the quarantined personnel.

Dudu!

A loud warning sound.

Cyborg shook his head: "There's nothing I can do. The system tells me that I don't have enough authority. Maybe I need to ask Zhuang Chenggong to give it a try."

Li Yu looked at the empty hall and sighed: "It's really a troubled time."

He had never expected that in just a few hours, the Dayuan City Abnormal Handling Bureau, which had been thriving and ranked among the top in the country, was now almost wiped out.

The defense line they originally thought was indestructible was like it was built on sand, and a special abnormal event could easily destroy it.

Cyborg felt the same way. Not long ago, they were still discussing how to deal with abnormal events related to awakening and trying to contain Class B anomalies. This time when he came back, Cyborg also planned to mention his experience in using cooling bombs and fiber nets to the scientific research department, and to protest against the other party's assessment of the strength of their weapons being too low.

As a result, now, let alone feedback, the people in the research department are gone, and it is unclear whether the weapon information is still there. It is possible that these weapons are out of print...

Cyborg rubbed his temple, turned around and waved to the people outside.

With Ganggu's instructions, the members of the original second action team also came in one after another. Leng Jing and his four companions also followed the crowd into the hall.

Anyone who came in saw the contents of the guide sign at a glance.

Everyone was dumbfounded and talked about it:

"What's going on? Everyone is gone? What does it mean to be sealed? Are they still alive?"

"Deep reboot, will it isolate those who cannot clear the abnormal effects?"

"So, we are the only ones left?"

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Some people questioned, some people sighed.

When everyone saw the news, the first reaction was the problem of manpower.

Due to the current shortage of personnel, it can be predicted that their workload will probably be several times greater than before, and due to the lack of support, the risks in the mission will be higher.

They usually think they are quite capable, but after what happened tonight, they found that they are far from being as strong as they thought.

What's more, now that something has happened in the Abnormal Handling Bureau, each of them feels like they have lost their support and are subconsciously a little panicked.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very negative.

Cyborg turned around and looked at the team members behind him:

"Complain! Is complaining any use?"

"Can you make abnormal things disappear by complaining?"

"On weekdays, everyone is eager to show off their skills, but what's wrong with them now? Are they so dejected?"

"You gave me feedback before, saying you wanted to be promoted, wanted to be assessed, and wanted to become a vice-captain. Now that the opportunity has come, why are you so discouraged? Apart from us, the rest of the team is vacant. As long as you think you can do it, you can apply to me at any time. As long as you pass the assessment, you can apply to become the captain if you want to lead the team, and you can join the first team if you want to be promoted."

Cyborg's eyes swept over everyone behind him, and the distressed expressions on these team members' faces turned into sullen looks.

Cyborg said in a deep voice: "You don't have to think too much. I am the director of the Operations Department now. If anything really happens, I will naturally handle it."

"The situation is critical now. The most important thing for us is to get through this difficult time. I can assure you that the resources that each of you can use will definitely not be less, and may even be more than before."

"All you have to do is improve your abilities as quickly as possible. As for manpower..."

"Don't forget, we still have 27 students who have awakened their abilities. They are our reserve talents. As long as you can guide them, our manpower problem will be solved."

"In addition, I will also apply for support from other provinces and cities to see if they can help me."

Cyborg's tone was firm, calming the situation.

Because it was an impromptu speech, Cyborg didn't have many nice words to say. If it were a leader's speech, it wouldn't be very good. But fortunately, the members of Action Team 2 trusted their captain.

At this time when people were in panic, Cyborg was able to stand up and express his stance, which at least dispelled the doubts of many people.

"Captain, we believe in you."

"Captain, let's just talk about what you said. When it comes to the real battle, when have we ever failed to perform well?"

"I want to be the captain, too, hahaha..."

If nothing else, the originally low-pressure atmosphere has indeed improved.

However, although the atmosphere has improved a lot, the issue of manpower is still the most critical issue.

The normal personnel of the Cognition Department and the Accommodation Department are recruited from the Operations Department. Now the Operations Department is also short of people, so it is naturally impossible to replenish the personnel.

Although Liu Yi and Li Yu held the title of ministers, they were actually just empty shells and they were the only ones in the entire department.

Liu Yi had a gloomy face. Compared with management, he preferred research.

Li Yu also had a headache. In addition to the Dangerous Affairs Department, which he could take on concurrently, other departments such as the Abnormal Matter Assessment Department, the Containment Storage Department, the Special Methods Use Department, etc. also needed manpower.

Especially in the containment and storage department, the best way to handle abnormal incidents is containment, but containment requires strict implementation of containment rules and methods, and places high demands on personnel.

If there is a problem with containment, a restart is likely to occur.

Or if an abnormal leak that has already been contained overflows, it needs to be contained again, causing a lot of unnecessary losses and wasting manpower.

Li Yu said to Ganggu: "I didn't expect that this matter would be so serious. I can only see if I can ask for help from other provinces and cities."

Cyborg nodded, frowned and said: "The situation this time is a bit unreasonable. We are seriously short of manpower now. Under normal circumstances, the headquarters will transfer personnel to maintain order and stability without our application. But now looking at the appointment situation, it seems that there is no support. I will ask later what is going on."

At this time, someone raised the question: "Why is Zhuang Chenggong the director?"

"Yes, why is Zhuang Chenggong the director? I don't think we've ever seen him demonstrate his combat abilities, have we?"

In most people's minds, Zhuang Chenggong's ability can be used for self-protection, but he is not good at fighting. Although he is valued by his leaders on weekdays, now that he has no leaders, how could he be the acting director?

Li Yu and Ganggu were also unclear about the reason for appointing Zhuang Chenggong as minister.

However, Ganggu had some vague guesses that it was because he had previously asked Zhuang Chenggong to set up a temporary emergency command center, and that center played a role when the Abnormal Handling Bureau was deeply restarted, so it worked.

Just then, a clear voice came from the door.

"Of course, I became the minister because I played an important role in this emergency. The headquarters adopted my reconstruction plan. The plan was proposed by me, so naturally I will implement it."

Following the sound, Zhuang Chenggong walked in from the door, and behind him, there were three other figures.

The meridians in Leng Jing's body, who was standing by, sent out a sharp warning. He looked in the direction of the warning and saw the three people, all of whom were familiar to him. Two of them were transfer students, and one was his classmate.

Leng Jing murmured, "Wang Yu, Li Ting and Lu Zhicheng... But why do they give me a sense of danger..."

Li Daoxian in Leng Jing's body chuckled and said, "Because they are indeed very strong."

Li Daoxian saw more things from them. Not only were there the means of operation and fusion that were familiar to him, but he could also vaguely see a fuzzy space from them.

Plus the fluctuation he felt not long ago, was it something created by the main body...

I didn't expect the main body to be able to do this, interesting...

……

Seeing Zhuang Chenggong, Li Yu frowned and asked first: "Zhuang Chenggong, what's going on? Why were you appointed as the acting director?"

Zhuang Chenggong adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Hmm? Minister Li seems to have some objections to my acting director."

Li Yu raised his head and said coldly: "Of course, if I remember correctly, you should only be D-level, right?"

"If an acting director has no ability to handle abnormal events and may be affected by abnormal events at any time, how can we safely execute your orders?"

The lessons from the past are still fresh in our minds. Because of a parasitic anomaly, it is very likely that everyone, including the director, was affected, resulting in the current short-staffed situation of the entire Anomaly Handling Bureau.

Zhuang Chenggong's expression remained unchanged:

"I've already said that it's because my reconstruction plan has been recognized by the headquarters. Whether you agree or not, the headquarters has appointed me as the acting director. Without applying for support, my reconstruction plan is the best option at the moment."

"Let me be frank. The appointments of your ministers were all assigned by me. I hope you will cooperate. Otherwise, I don't mind replacing you."

Zhuang Chenggong's words revealed two important pieces of information. One was that he was the first to get the position of director in this personnel appointment. The other was that Zhuang Chenggong proposed a reconstruction plan and rejected the support of the headquarters.

Cyborg asked, "You mean... you refused the manpower support assigned by the General Administration?"

Zhuang Chenggong nodded: "Yes, I did refuse."

"Why?" Cyborg asked in a deep voice.

Zhuang Chenggong is not a stupid man, on the contrary he is very smart, otherwise he would not have been able to rise from an ordinary salesperson to the position of head of the development department with his poor combat skills.

Cyborg just wanted to know why Zhuang Chenggong did this.

After all, without support, the people of Dayuan City may be threatened by abnormal events at any time.

“Because we have better options.”
