At this very moment, the government's plan to reshuffle public servants at all levels and in all regions encountered obstacles. Those who were more trouble than they were worth, with extensive connections and abundant funds, launched their own attacks before the reshuffle could even be fully implemented.
Government orders could not be issued and implemented quickly, and economic construction and production management across the country fell into chaos. Not to mention large projects, even if the guardrail of a pedestrian bridge was broken and needed to be repaired immediately, they could drag it out for half a month or even two months.
Serving the people? That's the motto of honest and conscientious public works workers. These black sheep, who are all entangled together, have never thought about this principle. Now that they are being forced to step down, they'd better cause trouble to avoid the ruthlessness and viciousness they've cultivated over the years.
Meanwhile, "Morning Mist," far overseas, began to stir. It no longer lay dormant, for it knew Lin Yao's whereabouts and judged that Lin Yao and "Zhu Dan" were in trouble or even dead. So it began to show its most ferocious side, ruthlessly reaping the life force of "poisonous people" to nourish its source.
Starting in turbulent African countries, large numbers of mercenaries and members of local armed groups, seeking to enhance their personal strength and save their lives, were inoculated with the strain and became "poisoned people." At this moment, they became the best tonic for "Morning Mist." Thousands of "poisoned people" lost their lives, while thousands of healthy people were forcibly inoculated with the strain, becoming sacrifices for "Morning Mist" to regain its strength.
This unbridled behavior plunged the entire village, the entire tribe, and even the entire region and country into a reign of terror. The international community was in uproar, and many countries immediately used armed forces to suppress the 'super soldiers' who had previously been under their control, only to be met with armed retaliation.
Therefore, many countries around the world have fallen into a "civil war that is not a civil war." The "poisonous people" are not only individually powerful, but also possess "super-poisonous people" capable of continuously inoculating with strains of the virus. This escalating conflict has further worsened the situation in these countries, resulting in countless deaths, including among the military.

"Yaoyao, all done. I've completely merged with the 'Dance Costume'."
Xiaocao spoke in a light and cheerful tone, reporting the good news to Lin Yao as soon as the fusion was complete.
"Great! Let's go back. We don't even know how long we've been here, maybe several years."
Lin Yao was eager to return home and immediately made his most pressing request.
"Okay, watch this!"
The little grass seemed to agree, full of pride.
Ten minutes later, Lin Yao received the results.
"Ahhhhhh, damn it!"
Little Grass shrieked, "Yaoyao, we can't get out!"

Lin Yao stood on the hard rock at the bottom of the sea. Looking up at the dome, his eyes revealed an extreme longing.
Patterns appeared on the surface of the dome, in the form of faces, mostly men and women, with varying expressions—some lewd, some arrogant, some humble—all kinds of faces, filling the entire dome to the brim.
Seeing that his longing gaze had no effect, Lin Yao had to try another approach.
Concentrate, gather your breath, and roar to the sky:
"Dear readers~~~ Please add my new book, 'The Great Representative,' to your favorites~~~ Please~~~"
"If you don't collect it, Liangming won't let us out! Being trapped here for life is worse than death, I don't want to be a monk~~~"
The dome suddenly shook, like ripples on a lake, blurring all the faces and even the names beneath each face disappeared.
Lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere and darted wildly across the dome, while the faint sound of thunder was brewing.
After a long while, a deafening roar erupted, followed by a single voice from countless people, which stunned Lin Yao completely:
"cut!"
========================
"how?"
Lin Yao was shocked. Although Xiao Cao hadn't explained things very clearly, anyone could guess that the two of them were in trouble, and a lot of trouble at that.
"That damn 'dance costume'!"
The little grass cursed, "From the beginning, it knew it couldn't beat us, so it activated the ultimate defense of the formation. Now we can't leave the underwater space, and I don't know how to shut it down."
Ah~~~~
Lin Yao was stunned. He was hoping to get out of there as soon as possible. The situation outside depended on him and Xiao Cao. Now, no one knew how long it would take. His family and friends must be worried sick.
If they can't get out, then won't no one be able to subdue 'Morning Mist'?
"Good little grass, try again!"
"It's no use... Yao Yao."
Xiao Cao's tone was apologetic and frustrated, "'Wu Yi' doesn't know many ways to control large formations, and none of us have studied formations. How am I supposed to come up with a solution?"
"The core points for placing spirit stones in the great formation alone number in the hundreds of thousands. Each core point corresponds to at least one array diagram, and sometimes a whole bunch. I can't even understand a single array diagram. You're not going to expect me to figure out a way to escape on my own, are you?"
Xiaocao's question was very reasonable, but it made Lin Yao feel suffocated and frustrated. He had an impulse to rush towards the yurt without regard for anything.
A dead end? What will 'Wuyi' do herself?
