Chapter 1851 - Isolation Order (2/2)

“Don’t worry, I’ve done everything you told me to,” Mu Bai confirmed.

“Great, we’ll wait patiently for the outcome!” Lingling said.

“By the way, what are we going to do about Zhu Qi and the Councilman behind him?” Mu Bai asked as he thought of something.

It was obvious that the Councilman behind Zhu Qi was the main culprit. He would have no trouble bailing out the chief of an Enforcement Union with his power. They had obviously angered the Councilman, too. The Councilman was not going to forgive them easily, if only for the sake of his election.

An enforcer under Tangyue suddenly came up to them while they were in the middle of their discussion.

“Vice Chief, the military has sealed the highways and the entrances leading into Wanggui Town. The town is being isolated!” the enforcer said, his forehead covered in sweat.

“The military? Which division are they from? The town is supposed to be managed by the Enforcement Union. Why would the military come and seal up the area!?” Tangyue lost her temper.

“Sister Tangyue, it must be Councilman Nan’s doing. The election is just around the corner. He must have sent the army to seal up the town when he did not receive a report from Zhu Qi,” Lingling deduced.

“Didn’t we already report the incident to the Lingyin Enforcement Union? Why aren’t they taking over instead?” Jiang Shaoxu said.

“They must have passed it on to the higher levels, giving Councilman Nan an excuse to send the army here,” Lingling conjectured.

“Damn it, how shameless is that guy? So many cities along the coastline are fighting the sea monsters. The military is already short on hands, yet the assh*** still assigned an army unit here to clean his ass? Does he not know the army can easily save a whole town’s lives instead!?” Jiang Shaoxu snarled.

Jiang Shaoxu’s father was in the army. His father had assigned all his men from inland stations to the coastline. She had been having trouble meeting her father for years. It was obvious how grim the situation was, yet someone had sent a whole battalion to the town, when the danger would be resolved on its own in four to five days. Councilman Nan had placed the town in lockdown just to make sure his secret was not exposed!

“If a man like him is elected a Great Councilman, many more are going to suffer!” Zhao Manyan grumbled.

Zhao Manyan finally understood why Tangyue was so determined to find out the truth. There were Councilmen who would never repent after ten or twenty years. They could not care less about the wellbeing of others when their benefits and power were at stake!

The Battlemages rode into town on their beasts, stirring up a long trail of dust behind them.

A loud voice kept repeating in the town through bullhorns, “Wanggui Town’s Dawn Island has been classified a Level A threat, with the possibility of turning into a poisonous plague! The army of Jiande Mountain Division has been placed in charge to put the town in total lockdown. No one is allowed to enter or leave the town for the next five days. Please try your best to stay indoors during the lockdown. You shall not leave without permission. No communication devices are allowed during the lockdown!”

“No communication devices are allowed during the lockdown!”

The words echoed throughout the town. Jiang Shaoxu immediately took out her phone. As she thought, there was no signal!
