Chapter 1721: Chapter 905: Screening! (2)

Some giants heard the exclamations and immediately backed away a bit embarrassed, as they didn’t want to scare anyone...

However, the residents quickly saw members of the Parents’ Meeting standing next to the giants. Xiao Wu smiled and explained to everyone, "Don’t worry, these giants won’t hurt you. They were invited by our family from the West Continent to help."

With the assurance from the Parents’ Meeting, the residents immediately felt at ease and slowly gathered around, curiously observing the giants.

A small child even approached and patted the giant’s lower leg, a scene that frightened his parents immensely.

The giant smiled kindly. People here didn’t seem to harbor the same inherent malice against them as those on the West Continent.

After all, the evil and brutality of giants were written into the textbooks by the Roosevelt Kingdom.

At this moment, Qing Chen said, "Let’s focus on the main task first. We will screen City No. 10 first before anything else. Before we do that, we need to make some preparations. Lao Luo, gather the talents from our city! Those in municipal and computer fields, let them come to the municipal center."

The news that giants had arrived in the city spread quickly, yet communication in the entire city was suddenly shut down, and all information base stations and towers stopped operation, leaving only the internal local area network functional.

This was the first action Qing Chen took.

For the second action, Qing Chen specifically restructured the administrative districts of City No. 10, changing the old structure of districts 1-9 and reappointing the administrative management of each district, dividing them into six new districts: Old Town District, Luo Long District, West Industrial District, Jianxi District, Chan River District, and Mengjin District...

These names don’t hold any particular meaning; Qing Chen simply transported the names from Los Angeles City for the sake of convenience and familiarity.

Even after the restructuring of City No. 10, it still maintained the practice of numbered districts.

But a problem emerged: under the inertia of conventional thinking, people in the Upper Three Districts often looked down upon residents of the lower six districts, which Qing Chen thought was undesirable.

There might indeed be different classes of people, but one shouldn’t be classified into a class the moment they’re born.

The residents of the city found the new district divisions novel, but until then, they still didn’t know what the Parents’ Meeting intended to do this time.

Three hours later, Qing Chen announced their third initiative: the emergency launch of the resident code.

The resident code consisted of two types: one was the golden code, which shimmered in the mobile phone, and the other was the red code.

Those who underwent mental induction had the golden code, while those who didn’t had the red code.

Members of the Parents’ Meeting began going door-to-door, asking everyone to download the resident code App and continuously emphasizing the importance of this for the sake of war, urging everyone to pay close attention.

People did not understand what mental induction was or the purpose of the golden code, but when they heard that undergoing testing would grant them a dynamic code that was shiny and golden, they even became eager to get tested.

...It was a golden code!

Later, the resident code notified that after obtaining the golden code, one could receive a free bag of rice and a barrel of peanut oil, which tempted everyone!

Due to the war, Qing’s Family intended to confront the war with all available human, material, and financial resources to win this battle.

Compared to the impending war, what did a few grains of rice and oil count for? Suppose a sack of 10 kg rice costs 38 yuan in the Federation. With six major cities under Qing’s jurisdiction, totaling about 60 million residents, supplying each person with one bag of rice would cost 2.28 billion. Was this price worth it to kill a Puppet Master?

Absolutely worth it.

Previously, a 10 kg bag of rice cost 230 yuan due to the corporations jointly raising prices, leading to severe overpricing, as corporations wanted residents of the lower six districts to buy more profitable, faster-to-produce, and cheaper protein bars.

Now, with Qing Chen leading Qing’s Family, everything began to normalize. He felt that corporations didn’t need to earn all the money.

Moreover, 38 yuan was the residents’ purchase price; the production cost in Qing’s mechanized factories was even lower.

At the same time, the resident code introduced a new policy: only those with the golden code could travel, shop, resume production and work, and those without the golden code couldn’t even step outside.

The situation in the Inner World differed in that if Puppet Masters were allowed to continue living, everyone would face a deadly disaster, possibly ending with Zong Cheng killing them all.

Therefore, Qing Chen took this matter particularly seriously.

This action was also particularly strict.

The fourth initiative: Parents’ Meeting members were the first to undergo mental induction testing.

Members who passed the mental testing were organized into groups of six to guard every building in the city.

Then, groups of twelve were organized to blockade each street.

Only those with golden codes could move freely, whereas those with red codes were confined to their original places.

Qing Chen’s goal was not to dynamically clear but to statically clear.

Puppet Masters were different from viruses. What he needed was to find all the Puppets within three days.

The fifth initiative: within the Parents’ Meeting, a patrol team led by Xiao Qi was established to check whether there were members withholding rice or engaging in misconduct using the golden and red codes.

Any violations were immediately handed over to the judiciary in City No. 10.

...

...

The action commenced.

City No. 10 set up 631 screening points, and residents came out of their homes. Guided by members of the Parents’ Meeting, they passed by the giants, keeping intervals from each other.

If a giant detected a Puppet, they would immediately point it out, and the nearby Parents’ Meeting members would promptly make an arrest.

Yet, at this moment, a giant pointed at a woman passing in front of him: "Rip!"

The members of the Parents’ Meeting were puzzled. Was this person Zong Cheng’s true form, ready to be torn apart?

That would be excessively brutal...

But Kacha interpreted for them, "This person isn’t a Puppet, but a spy sent from another place with malicious intent."

The Parents’ Meeting members were shocked! Was that a stroke of luck!?

Xiao Si beamed at the middle-aged woman, "An individual collective third-class merit is inevitable! Grab her for me!"

The residents were also dumbfounded, staring at the giant... Could this giant really see through their secrets?

But was this really reliable?!

In the next moment, the giant pointed at a middle-aged man who had just arrived in front of him: "Rip!"

Kacha interpreted, "He is a murderer, having killed many people! In his basement, there are still three girls imprisoned, five meters underground. They are so pitiful."

With tears welling in his eyes, the giant saw the scene of the deranged killings and the pleading expressions of the girls.

The middle-aged man’s secrets were exposed, and his expression changed immediately, "Don’t listen to his nonsense!"

Xiao Si and others’ expressions also changed, fiercely saying, "Hold him down, damn it, go search his home!"

Forty minutes later, the Parents’ Meeting rescued three girls from the basement of the deranged killer’s home, and this news began to spread internally through the local area network of the city.

Many witnessed Xiao Si and others bringing the deranged individual inside the house, and shortly after, three thin and frightened girls were ushered onto a vehicle by Xiao Si and others, concealed.

The evidence was irrefutable!

Xiao Si initially wanted to kill the scum on the spot. It was wartime; even if he executed a scumbag, no one would say anything.

But Xiao Qi arrived just in time to stop him: Although we are Transcendents, the family needs the rule of law. The giant’s mental induction is temporary, but only order and system can endure.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Si relented.

Within just an hour, not many Puppets were found, but numerous criminals and spies were identified. City No. 10 solved 22 old cases in a single day, some even related to serial killings escaping from the distant City No. 7, preparing to start a new killing spree.

Yet, before the plan even began, it was nipped in the bud.

With case after case being solved, residents no longer harbored doubts towards the giants. Those murder cases served as the best proof!

At this moment, someone hid behind the curtain of a residential building, secretly observing the giants downstairs, their expression somber.

The giants’ mental induction was like a fine sieve, filtering out the impurities in the entire City No. 10.
