“We’ve selected some dedicated offices for you, with locations in several cities, all equipped with the best facilities.”
An old man spoke first, pushing up his reading glasses and staring intently at Shi Yin: "I hope you can prove your rebirth with some compelling evidence."
“Okay, in half a month,” Shi Yin agreed.
Half a month?
Isn't that the college entrance examination?
Several people exchanged glances, a glint of shrewdness flashing in their eyes, and nodded to each other imperceptibly.
The Commander-in-Chief and Ye Yuansong observed the interaction between these people with some concern on their faces, but when they looked at Shi Yin, she still seemed completely unconcerned.
“We have decided to take your advice, even though you have not yet proven your leadership abilities and the authenticity of your rebirth. We still choose to believe it is true, rather than denying it.” Another old man cleared his throat: “The people do not allow us to hesitate any longer.”
"If it's fake, you know the consequences; if it's real, you're a hero."
Shi Yin: "..."
A hero... huh?
Shi Yin took a deep breath: "Of course, everything I said is true."
"Alright, let's begin the work report." A middle-aged man stood up: "First, regarding food and medicine, we have issued a purchase restriction order, and the government has also begun to secretly stockpile supplies on a small scale in case of unforeseen circumstances. Now, Zhang Yuan."
“Here.” A young man stood up.
“We research weapons. We’ve seen Ms. Shi Yin’s design drawings, and they do indeed achieve the lightest possible protection while covering the entire body. Production has already begun,” Zhang Yuan said seriously. “We’ve started having medical and police personnel undergo weight-bearing training under the guise of physical exercise.”
"We also want to know more about people with superpowers," Zhang Yuan continued. "I wonder if Miss Shi Yin knows what we can get."
“There are many people with superpowers, but they are not the majority; they only account for about 30% of the surviving humans.” Shi Yin shook her head.
But that's still an extremely large number. Even if only ten million is left, thirty percent is three million, not to mention that it's far more than ten million.
"Furthermore, superpowers are a world of imagination, and I can't be sure what superpowers everyone has actually acquired," Shi Yin added. "Even if they have, I can't be sure how much of it they can utilize."
“I have another question.” An elderly man with white hair raised his hand.
Shi Yin remembered this face. He was a general, the patriarch of the Ji family, Ji Yunhan.
Unlike Ye Yuansong, who still holds considerable power, Ji Yunhan is older and retired early to recuperate. He seems to be in good spirits now.
"Please speak," Shi Yin nodded respectfully.
"I've heard you're the strongest human." Ji Yunhan's voice was old and slow, and everyone listened attentively: "Just how strong are you? What...superpowers do you possess?"
“Yes, all of them.” As soon as Shi Yin finished speaking, the conference room fell into a surprised silence.
"My superpower is memory. As long as I've seen any superpower, as long as I can understand it, I can use it." Shi Yin opened her palm, where a piece of glass-like object floated, emitting a dazzling light.
The small lens is like a dream, showing different images from every angle. Staring at it for more than two seconds gives you the illusion of being drawn in.
The leader suddenly realized why Shi Yin said she was reborn with her memories intact, and that she was just returning them; it turned out that her special ability was memory.
A superpower with a good scope and a good concept...
Ye Shaoheng touched his chin, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Good grief, so this guy I have is some kind of god of concepts? No wonder he's so confident in saying he's the strongest.
"Okay, cough cough, okay!" Ji Yunhan nodded: "Anything else? Just say it. We'll cooperate fully with you until we're sure you're not real."
"Just now, the Commander and I were in the conference room inside, having a meeting with the other four knights of the Five Constants. Let me give a summary." Shi Yin took out her notebook, but before she could start speaking, someone raised their hand to interrupt her.
"I have a question," a young man raised his hand. "Why the Five Knights?"
At least to him, the name sounded strange.
"Have you heard of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?" Shi Yin asked.
Most of the younger people nodded, and some key figures followed suit with hesitant nods, but most seemed somewhat bewildered.
Most people don't pay attention to these myths and legends, especially those with outstanding achievements who are too busy with their studies and work to have time to read about things related to Western revelation.
"We hadn't originally planned to use this name. After all, it sounds a bit..."
It sounds too much like something out of a movie or novel. I used to feel ashamed every time I introduced myself like that, but now it comes out so naturally that I've just gotten used to it.
"The last prophecy in the Bible is called the Book of Revelation. Of all the prophecies, the Book of Revelation describes the last period of mankind in the most detail. The idea of the end of the world actually comes from the Bible."
"It depicts a heavy and tragic catastrophe, plague, war, famine and death. It describes the image of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, four particularly powerful giant zombies that appeared at the beginning and end of the apocalypse, almost exactly the same as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse described in the Book of Revelation."
"The term 'Five Knights' didn't exist back then. We were the last ones to survive, and we happened to represent our five nations, so we got that name."
After saying this, Shi Yin closed her eyes, seemingly unwilling to recall that experience.
That's right. It wasn't initially in the name of protection that the five strongest people gathered together and were called the Five Knights; it was simply because they were the only ones who survived.
The "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" were defeated by the "Five Horsemen of Humanity," which is the origin of the knights and perhaps also a way for humanity to comfort itself.
After surviving the initial phase, the apocalypse was far from over, and then came the mid- and late-stage disasters, where simply surviving was a luxury.
They were constantly on the move amidst disasters, so they had no time to think about whether their names sounded good or bad, and that's how their names have been passed down through generations.
"You'll understand in a while. I'm saying this now so you can be mentally prepared. It's something that can't be described in words; you can only experience it for yourself," Shi Yin said. "However, there's good news."
"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse represent plague, war, famine, and death. The less harm these experiences cause to humanity, the weaker the zombies will be."
"Plagues are inevitable, but we can try our best to contain the spread of the virus. As for war, once our countries stabilize, we will naturally minimize the war. If we do a good enough job, famine will be almost non-existent, which will directly and greatly reduce the death toll."
"Besides, it doesn't matter if it's not done well enough."
“Even if you do nothing and present the worst possible scenario, I can single-handedly get humanity through the mid-term, so there’s no need for you to be so nervous.”
"I'm still here."
