Chapter 81 I Will Thunder
In a dormitory in the World Government compound.
Zhou Cheng, who was searching for information on his computer, heard his phone ring. He opened it and saw a photo and text from Liu Yu.
The bright moon, the stars, and the sea create a tranquil and peaceful image. Below the image, the words "Beautiful, right?" are followed by a large smiling face.
A smile appeared on Zhou Cheng's lips.
He could feel that Liu Yu must have been in a very good mood when he took this photo.
"It seems that everything went smoothly on this ocean voyage."
Zhou Cheng felt a little relieved.
"It's already so late there. Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"We just finished a meal together. We came out for a walk to help digest the food."
…
During this period, the two have maintained contact.
Taking advantage of the fact that the satellite signal was still good at the moment, the two chatted for a long time until Liu Yu went to sleep.
Time passed quietly as I chatted with Liu Yu intermittently, searched for information and thought constantly.
During this time, dozens of discussions and exchange meetings involving various industries and disciplines were held. Zhou Cheng eagerly absorbed knowledge from various disciplines, integrating it all together, and combing through every event since the disaster from beginning to end, trying to find more clues.
It's noon again.
After turning off the computer, Zhou Cheng stood up, went to the cafeteria to eat, and then habitually came to the backyard of the World Government compound.
This is where the dormitory and living areas are located. There is also a small lake with an area of only about ten acres. The lake water is clear and the lakeside is shaded by green trees. It is a good place to take a walk and rest.
Zhou Cheng habitually comes here for a walk after dinner.
It is still the same today.
Zhou Cheng walked slowly along the lakeside path, accompanied by a slightly moist breeze.
As the breeze blew, shallow ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, cutting the bright sunlight into small pieces, sparkling.
After walking for a while, the wind picked up, and the ripples on the water grew larger. Small waves began to wash over the muddy shore.
Under this wash, a ray of light suddenly came into Zhou Cheng's eyes.
There seemed to be something smooth in the mud on the shore of the lake, which reflected the sunlight into his eyes and was noticed by Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng subconsciously looked over and saw a piece of metal inserted diagonally into the mud by the lake.
He felt something in his heart, walked over, took the metal piece out of the mud, and looked at it carefully.
It seemed to be a nameplate made of steel, with an overall rectangular shape and rounded edges. It was about eight or nine centimeters long and less than two centimeters wide.
One side is very smooth and there is nothing on it.
Zhou Cheng turned it over and a line of text came into his sight.
"If mercy fails, I will use thunder."
Zhou Cheng was stunned, his heart instantly became heavy, and his body tensed slightly.
He quickly raised his head and looked at the place where the nameplate was originally located under his feet.
The lake was still rippling gently, caressing the muddy shore. Small pieces of mud were still falling off under this scouring.
Zhou Cheng's brain was working rapidly.
The sunlight happened to shine on the nameplate and then reflected into my eyes, which enabled me to notice it and pick it up.
But this requires three conditions: 1. The angle of the sun. 2. The angle of the nameplate. 3. You need to be in the right position when the sun is at that angle.
In this way, it can be noticed by oneself.
The sun's position at what time is fixed and not random. But...
The nameplate was buried in the mud on the shore and was revealed only after being constantly washed by the lake water. The angle at which it was inserted into the mud was almost completely random.
When and where you go, what angle your eyes are in relation to the sun and the nameplate are all almost completely random.
Overall, my discovery of the nameplate was still random.
As long as one factor is wrong, it will be almost impossible for me to find this nameplate, let alone see the words on it.
But after this series of coincidences, it now came into my hands, and I could see the words on it.
random……
Zhou Cheng looked a few dozen meters to the side.
There are guards on duty 24 hours a day.
Just as he was about to call him over, before he could say anything, Zhou Cheng saw the guard suddenly move.
He left the guard post and ran towards Zhou Cheng.
Arriving in front of Zhou Cheng, the guard gave a standard salute before Zhou Cheng could speak: "The first decision-maker is waiting for you in the conference room. There is an emergency."
Um?
It just so happens that I have an emergency to talk to you about.
Led by the guards, Zhou Cheng quickly came to the meeting room.
When the door opened, I saw not only the first decision-maker, but also the other decision-makers in their respective positions. In addition to them, there were also some scientific advisors, confidential secretaries and the like.
Everyone had a serious look on their faces and was discussing something in low voices.
Seeing Zhou Cheng come in, the first decision-maker motioned for him to sit down and said, "There's an emergency, so please come and discuss it with us. Take a look at this photo."
Zhou Cheng took the copy handed over by the secretary, looked at it, and saw a line of text.
"If mercy fails, I will use thunder."
Zhou Cheng's pupils suddenly constricted, and he subconsciously raised his head, looking at the first decision maker in shock.
After a moment, he lowered his head again and looked at the photo carefully.
The text was written on a worn cement staircase. Dust blew away from one spot, revealing a line of words scribbled like a child's scribble.
The first decision maker said slowly: "This is what I saw today.
Today, I inspected Plantation Building No. 68. As planned, I was supposed to leave by car after my inspection. However, I stumbled upon an abandoned building nearby. Since it vaguely resembled the courtyard where I grew up, I didn't leave immediately and instead walked over to take a look inside.
Just then... the wind started to blow.
The wind blew away the dust on the steps, and the words were revealed.
The first decision maker looked at Zhou Cheng: "No matter how you look at it, this is a complete coincidence.
I decided to visit this courtyard on a whim instead of taking a car. I can be sure of that.
As I was watching, the wind suddenly started to blow, and there was no human factor involved at all.
I shouldn't have doubted this. But considering you received the notes twice before, I think this might be the Moon God sending us a message again."
Zhou Cheng silently took out the nameplate he had just obtained.
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty."
