Chapter 72 The Growth of All Things
On the day the meeting ended, Dang Hongyuan sent a letter in his own name to Base No. 1 and Qinglong Base.
The above demonstrates the attitude of the Huaxia base at this moment and serves as a warning to them.
Looking at the base as always, Sui Cheng knew that things were finally about to change.
Dang Hongyuan called his entourage to his office alone and told them about the news that the team that had gone to the coast had gone missing.
Sui Cheng had already heard about this from Shan Qiu, but he didn't expect the truth to be even crueler.
“Xu Feng led the team that went to the coast. We received his last communication the day before yesterday. This is a recording; you can listen to it.” Dang Hongyuan opened the recording and placed it on the table.
First came the sound of waves crashing, followed by the roar of ships sailing on the sea.
Xu Feng's voice came out intermittently.
"Party Leader, this may be the last letter I leave behind. I have something very important to tell you, or rather, the entire base. After observing for the past few days, we have found that some marine alien species have adapted to life on land. We discovered a number of alien species on an island, but when we tried to get closer, we found that the island was guarded by a special military force and was heavily defended."
"When we sent people closer, we discovered that this army was from North America, and there were many Chinese people on the island who were all imprisoned here and were not in immediate danger."
“Three days ago, Captain Leng Tianrui of Base One secretly led his team to approach that island and completely lost contact with us. I suspect they were captured by the people on the island.”
Upon hearing this, Dang Hongyuan pressed pause and said in a serious tone, "That island might be the headquarters of the New Generation Faction. Xu Feng doesn't know about the relationship between Base One and the New Generation Faction. Leng Tianrui might not have been captured, but rather used this method to get to the island. They also brought our base's people up with them."
The attendant asked, "Did Captain Xu and the others go up too?"
“He went up there. That’s the last message he left us.” Dang Hongyuan turned on the recording again, and Xu Feng’s voice came through.
"I vaguely sensed something was wrong, so I found the ship's main control room, noted down the location of the island, and left it in this communication, hoping to report it to the base in time."
Xu Feng left this communication, stuffed it into the belly of the mechanical fish invented at the base, set the target location, and released the fish into the sea.
This is why Dang Hongyuan and his group were able to receive this communication.
Their team was waiting on the coast. When they saw the mechanical fish return, they knew something must have happened, and they immediately sent the communication back.
Dang Hongyuan received this message the day before he was to return with them.
"So what do you want us to do?" the attendant asked him.
"Go to the coast, find that island, bring Xu Feng and the others back, and ideally destroy the laboratory on that island." Dang Hongyuan said solemnly, "Sui Cheng, no one is more suitable to take on this mission than you. I will have Yang Xie lead the team to go with you. Before that, we can't be short of weapons."
Dang Hongyuan took out a black Rubik's Cube and said to his entourage, "This is the key to the Junshan Armory. You can take any of the weapons inside."
The passenger stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Junshan Armory—that's where all of China's weapons were stored after the apocalypse.
Dang Hongyuan led a special force to quickly transport a batch of weapons under development to Junshan. The apocalypse occurred on the very day they arrived at Junshan.
At the time, I was relieved that they had moved the weapons; otherwise, the world would have been in complete chaos.
They won't discuss the situation abroad, but China cannot be allowed to descend into chaos.
“Before that, there is one more thing we need to do,” Dang Hongyuan said. “But I will do this myself, and we will split up.”
The passenger sensed something was off and asked nervously, "What are you going to do?"
"Go to the Black Sea and test whether the space equipment is still usable."
Accompanying passenger: "..."
After the massive meteor shower on Cataclysmic Day, Earth's magnetic field changed, and the space station in space completely lost contact with Earth, rendering many devices unusable.
But now Dang Hongyuan actually says he's going to the Black Sea. If the space equipment can be used, it proves that the Earth's magnetic field has returned to normal, and at the same time, nuclear weapons can also be used.
Wouldn't that create chaos?!
Judging from his expression, Dang Hongyuan knew what he was thinking and explained sternly, "This is not to reactivate the space station, but to destroy it."
"In this world that is almost ruled by superpowers, nuclear weapons are even more unacceptable. At last night's meeting, the higher-ups made a collective decision: we must change this world."
The passenger was no longer able to speak.
He wondered to himself what it would be like to change to a different world.
The magnetic field is chaotic, technology cannot be used, supernatural abilities can control everything, and humans and nature have become enemies.
What will that new world be? It will be global unification.
...
Even after arriving home, he was still in shock.
All I can say is that the decision made by the higher authorities is too big; it may take at least 10 or 20 years to complete.
But now, for everyone, living a peaceful life is the most important thing.
Humanity must reclaim its lost land, rebuild abandoned cities, and eradicate the alien species...
But when he opened the door and was held in Lu Zhi's arms, with the fresh scent of green leaves in his nostrils, he belatedly realized: "Earth is not just Earth for humans."
"What's wrong? You look like this as soon as you get back." Lu Zhi rubbed his face, his brows furrowed with worry. "Did something go wrong? Why is my captain so worried?"
"Law Master." The attendant's voice was a little hoarse as he called his name softly.
"I'm here." Lu Zhi was affected by his emotions, and his tone became more serious.
Sui Cheng's eyes were half-closed, and she looked surprisingly vulnerable, which made Lu Zhi's heart clench. He asked urgently, "What's wrong?"
"Will the alien species disappear?" the passenger asked him. "I mean completely disappear, from this earth."
"No." Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That idea is too far-fetched. Even if the earth is destroyed and humanity disappears, everything will still exist."
“You humans are really strange.” Lu Zhi gently cupped his face, his reflection shimmering in his deep green eyes, and said earnestly, “The Earth belongs to everyone, so why do humans always try to drive us away?”
His single word "we" instantly separated him from his entourage, one being a different species and the other a human.
“Sui Cheng, I’m staying here because I love you. I’m willing to pretend to be a human for you, but that doesn’t mean I am a human.”
"New plants will grow up one day, and they will die one day, just like humans. Some even don't live as long as humans. Just as humans want to live, so do other species."
