Chapter 91 Greece: Athena's Protection!
"Try? How?" Cheng Gan raised an eyebrow, looking at the malicious smile on Zhou Jue's face, and knew that she was up to something again.
Zhou Jue rubbed his hands together, pulled a gleaming dagger from the secret box, and said eagerly, "How about I give you a cut? Don't worry, it won't hurt! Let's just make a tiny little cut and see how it goes!"
Cheng Gan's eye twitched, and he pushed the cup of spiritual spring water back to Cheng Gan, his eyes saying, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"No need to try, I trust you." She was joking; using herself as a guinea pig? She didn't have that kind of inclination.
However, she knew in her heart that what Zhou Jue had taken out was definitely not an ordinary item. This "spiritual spring" probably really did have such miraculous effects.
This is not merely a life-saving trump card; it holds immeasurable strategic significance for the nation's elite combat capabilities. It can significantly reduce the casualty rate of special forces personnel, snatching countless heroes from the jaws of death in the most critical moments!
Seeing that his attempt to fool him had failed, Zhou Jue reluctantly put away the dagger and took a small sip himself.
The spring water, clear and sweet, instantly transformed into a warm and pure energy that flowed throughout my body. All the fatigue from continuous combat was completely washed away in that moment. I felt as if I had been reborn, brimming with unprecedented vitality.
"Cool!"
Zhou Jue couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, handing the remaining spring water to Cheng Gan: "Sister Cheng Gan, drink this quickly, it's very good for your health."
This time, Cheng Gan did not refuse. She took the cup and drank the water in it in one gulp.
A warm current, equally gentle yet powerful, instantly swept through my entire body.
She could clearly feel that some old injuries from years of high-intensity training were being slowly repaired, and the soreness lurking deep in her joints and muscles was gradually warming up. In just a few minutes, she felt better than ever before, and Cheng Gan finally showed a hint of undisguised surprise on his face.
This thing... it can't even be described as defying the heavens!
While the two were marveling at the miraculous effects of the "spiritual spring," they had no idea what a huge uproar their casual removal of the "tumor" would cause in the outside world.
...
Western Greece.
Inside the National Institute of Geophysics and the Environment, the air was eerily still.
All the researchers seemed frozen in place, standing blankly in front of the huge data monitoring screen, making unconscious "clucking" sounds in their throats.
On the screen, the curve representing the life energy index of the Greek land is soaring wildly upwards at an unbelievable angle!
"By Apollo... what have I seen?" Archimedes Papadopoulos, the white-haired director of the research institute, trembled as he took off his reading glasses, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and put them back on.
The curve is still rising!
"Director... the data... the data is correct! All thirty-seven monitoring stations across the country have transmitted the same energy jump signal!" A young assistant researcher's voice trembled.
“This…this is not scientific!” Papadopus muttered to himself.
The National Life Energy Index is a comprehensive reflection of a country's environmental health and ecological vitality. It is usually extremely stable, with fluctuations not exceeding 0.1% for decades.
Unless Japan, like Japan, recklessly discharges nuclear wastewater into the ocean, the index will not plummet!
But now, in just half an hour, their country's index has skyrocketed by a full 3%!
What does this mean?
This is like a patient who has been anemic and weak for many years suddenly becoming rosy-cheeked and full of energy, capable of killing a bull with a single punch!
"Investigate immediately!"
The director practically roared as he gave the order, veins bulging on his neck.
"Find the cause! Is it a collective instrument malfunction? Or a magnetic field disturbance caused by a solar storm? Or... or is it truly a miracle?!"
The entire research institute instantly went from deathly silent to boiling over, turning into complete chaos.
However, no matter how they checked, all the instruments showed normal operation, and the global space environment remained stable.
At the same time, ordinary people have also felt this change.
Residents of Greece stepped outside to find the sky exceptionally blue and the air unusually fresh. Some with respiratory ailments found their breathing much easier. Even the withered lawns in the park were sprouting tender green shoots.
The entire country seemed to be infused with an unimaginable vitality by an invisible hand.
Upon receiving the report, the Greek government leadership experienced a brief period of shock and panic, followed by immense euphoria.
They couldn't figure out the reason, but that didn't stop them from immediately promoting it as "the blessing of the goddess Athena" or "the grace of the Olympian gods."
For a time, the whole of Greece was immersed in a strange joy and pride.
This sudden stroke of "good fortune" immediately attracted widespread attention from the international community, especially from the intelligence agencies of the United States.
The atmosphere at the intelligence agency headquarters was heavy.
"Report! The energy field of the Niro Pyramid continues to strengthen steadily, and crops within its influence area are growing well, with an epic harvest expected."
"Breaking news! In Greece, an inexplicable surge in ecological indicators has occurred, which they call a 'miracle'."
Johnson, the US intelligence chief, tapped the table heavily with one finger, making a dull thud. His eyes were so sharp they seemed to pierce through the screen.
"Gentlemen, both of these events occurred at a critical juncture when our relationship with China was strained due to our investigation of hackers. Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"
A subordinate swallowed hard and asked incredulously, "Sir, you mean... they did all of this?"
"But how did they do it? Change a country's 'environment' and 'vitality'? Only God could do that! Do they possess 'weather weapons' or 'geological weapons' that we've never even heard of?!"
"I don't care how they did it!"
Johnson slammed his hand on the table, interrupting him in frustration.
"All I know is that we must find out the truth! Immediately dispatch top-level special agents to infiltrate both Eniro and Xila, at all costs, to uncover the truth!"
...
At this moment, Zhou Jue and Cheng Gan were comfortably lying on the hotel bed, scrolling through their phones and watching the so-called experts and scholars on international news seriously analyzing "Mediterranean climate anomalies" and "solar particle activity," almost laughing so hard their abs hurt.
"Hahaha, Athena's blessing? In this day and age, people still promote miracles?" Zhou Jue laughed heartily.
Cheng Gan couldn't help but smile at her smug look.
The feeling of "leaving without a trace after accomplishing the deed, concealing one's merits and fame" is indeed very satisfying.
"Alright, stop laughing," Cheng Gan reminded him. "We're moving on to the next step of our plan."
"Hmm!" Zhou Jue nodded, his smile fading, and opened the system map again.
The dark red that represented Greece has completely disappeared, replaced by a vibrant green.
Her gaze moved slowly across the map, sweeping over each friendly country.
Finally, her finger stopped on a vast expanse of land in North America.
That area appeared as a cold, metallic silver-blue on the energy map.
"Brother Tongzi," Zhou Jue wondered to himself, "what good things is hidden in this Maple Leaf Country?"
