Apocalyptic Nation: The Apocalypse is Ahead, I Have Your Back

"What are you afraid of? I'm still here." This was all Shi Yin could promise. As long as she remained, the Flame Dragon Nation would not perish.

Facing the apocalypse, Shi Yin dec...

Chapter 68 I'll Back You All Up

"After midnight, going back on your word will be considered treason, which will result in a death sentence. There will be no grounds for objection, and you will be dealt with directly. Think it over carefully," Shi Yin said coldly.

“You are different from ordinary people. Ordinary people have the right to choose a side every once in a while, but you special people, once you choose a country, you only have two choices: to obey or to die.”

So tough.

Even though Shi Yin's voice wasn't very loud, everyone involuntarily held their breath.

"Then, is there a reward if I do a good job?" Number 2 raised his hand tremblingly.

All eyes turned to him. With most people keeping their heads down and not daring to move, it was quite bold of this No. 2 to raise his hand and express his opinion.

"Of course, all resources will be concentrated on you. The more you contribute, the more benefits you will receive." Shi Yin nodded affirmatively: "Ordinary people are simply protected, but we will use resources to cultivate you. The power of the nation is surely stronger than you fighting alone. The nation will guarantee that all of you have priority in resources."

"No regrets, I'll work for you from now on." Number 2 clapped his hands: "Since I was the first to pledge my loyalty, could you give me a promotion?"

Shi Yin: "...No."

“I don’t intend to go back on my word either…” Once someone spoke up, the others became bolder, and as number 2’s voice fell, others raised their hands as well.

"I don't intend to back out, but I still have some things to take care of." A girl said hesitantly, "Could I go home for a few days first? I promise I will definitely not hoard any goods."

“Don’t worry, the country will avenge all the grudges you want to settle. Since you belong to the country, the country will naturally support you.” Shi Yin paused, then added, “To be precise, I will support you.”

"Isn't it illegal?" Number 2 was taken aback: "Shouldn't you and the country be considered one entity?"

“Yes, but to be precise, the country is also my backing.” Shi Yin shrugged: “So to be precise, I’m the one who’s backing all of you.”

"Come on, write down your system number and your name on the form. Someone will take you to your respective positions for training, and then you can officially serve the country."

Following Shi Yin's words, Nan Zhu pulled out another form from his pocket. He had prepared everything perfectly, saving Shi Yin a lot of trouble.

Everyone quickly went up to sign the papers and put their fingerprints on them. Then, police officers came in from outside the interrogation room and led them to their respective resting areas.

The place where they were to rest was prepared well in advance; they were not gathered from one city, but brought from all over the country.

Some people just finished their college entrance exams and hadn't even had time to celebrate before being forced into police cars by the police after dinner, packed up and airlifted over, shaking all the way. Now they've gone through all this, they're probably exhausted.

Some of them had already finished their college entrance exams, but because they were reborn, they posted online to subtly tell everyone about the apocalypse.

The post was published and it was gone in a flash.

While they were still wondering why the post disappeared as soon as it was published, and their computer was still warm from being shut down, the police were already knocking on their door and inviting them to the station for a chat. They fully realized what speed really meant.

"Let's go back." After waiting for the gathered superhumans to be taken away, Shi Yin sat on the sofa for a while before standing up.

"Hey, wait a minute, dear Shiyin, let me confirm that the eldest disciple I'm looking for is indeed number 2, right?" Helmod hurriedly walked in from inside, holding the documents and looking somewhat troubled: "Why do you all seem to have the same face?"

“Look at your own race, you’re used to it, aren’t you?” Shi Yin said speechlessly. “I haven’t even started training him yet, I’m just dumping him on you ahead of time. He’s not even 18 yet, so of course it’s different from when he was in his 20s and met you.”

“That makes sense, but why are there so many more people this time?” Helmod asked with some concern. “If I remember correctly, those who shouldn’t have joined the country should have died not long after the game started.”

"It doesn't matter. I'm monitoring their brain memory layers. The keywords that trigger betrayal will be synchronized to me." Shi Yin waved her hand indifferently: "I remember there are two or three systems that are relatively strong in weaponry. It shouldn't be a problem for them to mass-produce them."

“No problem, let’s do it the same way as last time.” Helmod flipped through the documents, confirmed a few other things, and then left.

"Judging from what you and Helmod just said, shouldn't so many of these superhumans have submitted?" Nan Zhu said as he followed Shi Yin out the door.

“Yes, I was originally going to kill two or three,” Shi Yin said.

"Will this cause any adverse effects?" Nan Zhu frowned slightly. "Could it be because the mastermind you mentioned sensed something, and thus influenced them?"

"Ah, no, I can probably guess why." At this point, Shi Yin coughed slightly, a little awkwardly, "Probably because you're good at comforting people."

Nanzhu: "Huh?"

Shi Yin stopped speaking. In fact, before Nan Zhu appeared, the atmosphere in the interrogation room was much heavier, and it would remain so.

On one hand, it's because Tokine is really bad at comforting people; she's extremely assertive for various reasons. On the other hand, Tokine is also selecting people with excellent psychological resilience, so she keeps putting pressure on them.

This time, Nan Zhu eased the atmosphere a little, which allowed some people to stay.

We'll see. Anyway, she's already identified those who aren't determined enough. Let them start from the bottom and grow step by step, making sure they don't make any mistakes.

Shi Yin didn't think her tough stance was wrong, but since things had already changed, she didn't mind trying out a new situation.

"Nanzhu, what is your wish?" Back in her office, Shiyin looked at the starry sky outside the window, her feelings complicated.

“I have no wishes,” Nan Zhu said calmly.

“Having no desires is the hardest thing to do, and that might be why you can’t gain superpowers.” Shi Yin sat in her comfortable office chair, pondering, “Is it because geniuses have a smooth life all their lives, so they don’t have any worldly desires?”

"Is it a wish to gain the right to stay by your side forever?" Nan Zhu pondered for a moment.

"Who knows?" Shi Yin changed the subject. "Has the nation already divided up the Doomsday Squad?"

"Alright, the higher-ups have gathered today's and previous information, including but not limited to those who have undergone system rebirth and those with unstable prophetic abilities." Nan Zhu immediately got to work and respectfully reported, "These people will be uniformly incorporated and named the Apocalypse Special Support Team."
