Chapter 1977: A Plea -Final
"Was it easy?" Jin asked as he sat on the edge of a building to see the progress of the dimensional instance.
"Relatively. The processes were normalised after the first half hour." The System reported. "There are currently no issues with the dimensional instances and the Panda NPCS had been employed thoroughly through the entire instance. Almost every victim had been taken care of and they are currently being in various stages of care depending on the triage the paramedics had identified."
"You should just call them doctors seeing how they are also treating the victims," Jin commented and yet the System did not reply from that. "In any case, how are the others faring? Are all the foxes still here?"
"Every other fox other than Kraft is assisting with the rescue operations after assisting with the creation of the dimensional instance. However, based on the power output, most of it was still from the User. They were only useful acting as a rangefinder for you to expand your dimensional instance."
"A marked flag is still more useful than not having any. But it sure stretched my Maqi to the point that I could feel headaches coming down to me." Jin grumbled as he really felt paralysed after pushing out such a huge dimensional instance.
From the outside, it looked as if there was some dome shaped barrier that was barring people from going in and it actually made the citizen volunteers and rescue workers panic for a moment until a piece of breaking news had been out in the media that 'professional' help had been employed.
Word from their higher ups had spread down to the workers and through word of mouth, they were also able to calm the citizen volunteers down. Thus, they decided to focus on the supposed 'chokepoints' and both hospitals and clinics were relieved for a moment that there was currently a definite stop in the flow of potential patients.
Yet, the usherers still urged people who were not urgent in their interpretation of sickness to not crowd the hospital since they had no idea what was happening and could not handle this particular disaster and provide a solution to those who fell unconscious from the effects of the supposed power aura. They started to try to inject magic into the unconscious but it felt like they were not responding to the problem at all.
That was because the void energy aura that had burst throughout that 10 kilometre radius practically acted as a kill switch and stopped their core from working. So what Jin's Panda NPCs did was to slowly infuse magic or chi into the victims with the goal and intent to reach to its core. The practitioners in the hospital did not do that and neither do they have the resource to do so.
That was why once the Panda NPCs were able to kickstart the core, the victims were able to wake up from their unconscious state. From there, all they needed was a consistent injection of magic energy to maintain the magic circuits and continued to keep them running until they felt they were able to conjure at least a basic spell.
The victims with higher grades were able to recover better compared to those with a lower grade in magic. But because of this simple trick, even the victims who had recovered had come to volunteer their magical powers to assist the other unconscious as long as they were not in a state where the White uniformed Pandas had to step in to deal with other problems like the crush syndrome.
Also, with the time dilation, almost everyone who was able and lucky enough not to be hurt, almost 90% of the population within the dimensional instance had been considered to be in the condition to be discharged within half an hour.
The remaining 10% were the ones who needed more medical attention and they stayed within the dimensional instance until the Pandas deemed that in a condition that they could pass them to the hospitals with ease.
At the same time, Jin had also asked Kiyu to make an announcement through the PA broadcast system. "As much as we want to let you out, this dimensional instance would not be breaking so soon mainly due to the fact that there are still severely injured people that need constant attention.
The owner wished to apologise that he was not capable enough to break the dimensional instance down and stated that the ten kilometre radius dimensional instance would still be up even after you got out of the instance."
"So, we have catered some food from all of you. We have to emphasize that this is not an advertisement message but sharing the information that your Prime Minister had graciously thrown out an exorbitant lump sum of money to get this dimensional instance to work. So, please show some gratitude to your Prime Minister if you are able to!"
"And yes, the food that you are consuming, it's all paid by your Prime Minister! So, eat as much as you want! If you wish to have some takeaway, do not hesitate but please spare some thoughts to those behind you as the food still needs some time to churn out." The Broadcast started and people started seeing Penguins pushing food carts selling all sorts of variety of food.
Naturally, with such food stalls come with security too and the Pandas in SWAT vests were already walking around to ensure the people do not cut queues for the food.
With food on their hand, the penguins also gave out picnic mats of various sizes so they would have some indication that they could eat anywhere they wanted so long it did not obstruct the queue. This gave couples, families and friends to gather and recount their experiences as they filled their stomachs and taste buds with sumptuous food.
With this, Jin had also asked Kiyu to sound out in the PA broadcast system to state that the people who were trapped within the dimensional instance could get out in batches in order not to overcrowd the entrances. "The only thing we can ask from all of you is to have patience.
Your cars and apartments are currently still within the dimensional instance and once we know that all of the victims have been stabilised, we will then break the instance down. We apologise for the delay."
So with that kind of conclusion by the System, Jin who had been resting on a rooftop had finally decided to open the dimensional instance, allowing the 'discharged' to walk out. This sudden influx of people coming back to Rome was a shock as the mass media was already camping around the area waiting for this dimensional instance to open up.
People were getting bombarded left and right by the reporters to get information while others who were lucky to walk out of the area and actively trying to avoid the media started to call their loved ones to tell them that they were fine.
At the same time, the national intelligence agents were also part of the first batch to be released as Jin knew that they were needed to be released to provide information to the hospitals and clinics who were trying to solve this mysterious case of mass unconsciousness.
Simultaneously, those agents were also tasked to find space for the 10% of patients that were critically injured or ill from the sudden blackout of the masses.
They were given a number that they could call to provide the location and time on where those patients could be transferred or else the dimensional instance would still be up and running just for the sake of them. The Italians were surprisingly understanding despite the repeated apologies Jin's Pandas gave for not being able to remove the dimensional instance.
Not only that, those who were recalling their tales to the media, they had nothing but praise for Jin's dimensional instance.
This new information that was coming out from the dimensional instance was a surprise for the elite group of politicians who were dying for a sign of a result. All of them except for Diego were not confident that Jin was able to pull such a trick and it was only Diego's long friendship with the Prime Minister that the latter had decided to gamble.
"Looks like your recommendation was more than justified." The Prime Minister who saw the live news was extremely relieved. The people who were coming out from the dimensional instance are not only elated but they were thankful for such a service rendered to them. But what the Prime Minister did not expect was the praise he had been getting.
"The quickest rapid response ever employed by the current Prime Minister Office," was the tagline for most Mass Media reporting and it seemed like this Jin was doing more than he was given credit for. The one and only con that came out from this situation was that the dungeon supplier had utilised the Prime Minister's money to the point that it would be shameful for him to ask for a reimbursement.
But to the Italian Prime Minister, this 15 million euros was probably the most well spent personal money he could ever do in his entire life. For he could foresee his ratings would be shooting up to the skies.
