Chapter 232 The Emergence of the Doomsday Fortress
The military commander remained silent, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, revealing neither his joy nor anger.
Huang Zhen was already covered in sweat. After glaring at the clueless Shen Jiaojiao, he quickly said:
"General, the young lady is hot-blooded and doesn't know her place. She even brought a little conflict with you. I'll take her away now for a re-education."
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, the military commander called out to Huang Zhen and looked up at him.
"Tell me, how much do you know about Lin Muyan?"
Huang Zhen's expression flashed with joy, but he quickly composed himself.
He paused for a moment before speaking:
"I actually have some dealings with her. In fact, I didn't know exactly what kind of superpower she had awakened before, but I knew that she had awakened it. Shen Jiaojiao lives in the same neighborhood as her and knows her."
At the time, I invited Shen Jiaojiao to join my Chifeng team. She cooperated very actively, saying she would definitely serve the people, and she even recommended Lin Muyan to me.
"Back then, our team was hoping to recruit more Awakened individuals, so I thought I'd invite Lin Muyan to join us. If she's a good person, it wouldn't matter if she's a girl."
"Who knew that the girl was so arrogant. I was turned away that day. Later I found out that she had gotten involved with that Xiao Li. The two of them had even carried out a mission together. I heard that they were exchanging glances and falling in love during the mission."
Huang Zhen stopped there and didn't say anything more.
But seeing the increasingly gloomy expression on the General Staff Headquarters' face, he knew that his words had had an effect.
Shen Jiaojiao was extremely excited to see this and wanted to say something more, but when she met Huang Zhen's warning look, she swallowed her words.
The General Staff, with a stern face, pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said:
"I understand. You can go now. Huang Zhen, you stay here."
Shen Jiaojiao looked back every few steps as she left the General Headquarters office. Huang Zhen gave her a warning look, implying that she shouldn't cause any trouble.
After everyone left, the military commander spoke.
"Huang Zhen, have you been in S Special Zone lately? Have you kept an eye on any of their latest developments?"
Huang Zhen was startled. Was the military headquarters trying to get information from him?
Although they are part of the same system, the two special economic zones will inevitably be in competition in the future.
Externally, they are a unified whole, that's for sure, but behind closed doors, internal struggles will only be more intense than before.
After all, this is the end of the world, and with resources scarce, competition for resources is an unavoidable topic.
The fact that the military headquarters asked this question shows that they have already thought about the future competition with the S Special Zone. He must seize the opportunity to reveal all the information he has gathered.
Huang Zhen spoke whatever came to mind, offering little useful information and mostly trivial matters. Yet, he was pleased with himself for having uncovered the secrets of Special Zone S.
The more the military commander listened, the more his brows furrowed. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he waved Huang Zhen away.
"Unfit for important tasks..."
After Huang Zhen left, Shen Jiaojiao immediately came to greet him.
"Captain, how is it? Does General Staff Headquarters believe what we said?"
Huang Zhen disagreed.
"Don't worry, I'm the eyes and ears of the General Staff in the S Special Zone. He definitely trusts me. Just stay here with me in Beijing for the next few days and see what the General Staff decides."
"If all goes well, the General Staff should keep me at the Beijing headquarters. Don't worry, once I'm promoted to senior colonel, or even two ranks to major general, I will definitely help you apply for a second lieutenant position."
Shen Jiaojiao was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"That's great, thank you, Captain!"
That's great! Once she becomes a second lieutenant, let's see how Lin Muyan can compare to her!
Lin Muyan's progress is going very smoothly.
She chose a place in the suburbs; it was vast and flat, with very few natural forests or hills, and even few man-made forests, making it very unlikely that large mutated beasts would appear.
This is the perfect place to build a second doomsday fortress.
In addition, Beijing has a large population and many transportation routes from surrounding cities to Beijing, which can attract even more people.
Even if the doomsday fortress cannot accommodate everyone, the survival rate can be greatly improved by reorganizing the city around the doomsday fortress and concentrating the population.
After deciding on the location, Lin Muyan sent all her entourage back home.
Xiao Li had something to report to headquarters, and Lin Muyan didn't want to waste time with those important figures, so she suggested leaving.
Xiao Li originally wanted to send a team to escort Lin Muyan back, but Lin Muyan refused.
"Don't you trust me? My butt has been shaken to death on this journey, whether by plane or car. I'd better go back by myself."
Knowing Lin Muyan's capabilities, Xiao Li didn't press the matter further.
After they separated, Lin Muyan did not leave immediately. Instead, she waited for a while to make sure no one was around before starting the site selection process and initiating the construction of the doomsday fortress.
After finishing her work, she summoned Ah Bao and immediately left the capital to return home.
The second doomsday fortress is now secured. As long as we keep digging and digging until we find all the contracts for all the blocks, we'll have a safe haven in the capital city.
The day after returning to S Special Zone, Lin Muyan went to the port at sea alone to inspect the first doomsday fortress.
The mist still lingered, but one could vaguely see a colossal creature inside, soaring into the sky, a sight too awe-inspiring to describe in words.
Lin Muyan looked up, unable to see the top at all.
Indeed, there are 888 floors in total, and each floor seems to be very tall. The very top must be able to pierce the sky.
Lin Muyan had seen the architectural blueprints; the top floor belonged exclusively to the owner of the Dominator AI.
The next floor down was her residence; the open-air space seemed perfect for moving the safe house over.
With excitement in her heart, Lin Muyan began to inspect the Doomsday Fortress.
The interior environment was nothing short of miraculous; everywhere you looked, you were enveloped in a sense of futuristic technology, and the numerous functional areas left Lin Muyan in awe.
She spent a long time inspecting the site, only finishing the inspection after she had mastered most of the functions inside the doomsday fortress.
As the thick fog dissipated, a colossal object soaring into the sky appeared on the sea, obscuring the heavens and the moon.
The sky was suddenly half-blocked of its brilliance, and everyone in the S Special Zone at the same time witnessed a scene that resembled the descent of a divine palace.
Exclamations of surprise came from every nook and cranny.
The military also received the news quickly.
As soon as you step out of the house and look up, you can see that incredible giant building, like a pillar reaching to the sky, piercing through the heavens and the earth.
This shocking scene left everyone speechless for a long time, as if they had lost their ability to speak.
It wasn't until Xiao Huaifeng realized what was happening that he became excited.
"Quick! Get to that port! The Doomsday Fortress must be finished!"
The military acted swiftly, quickly assembling a group of high-ranking officials and rushing to the port.
The entire S Special Zone was still in shock.
They knew nothing about the Doomsday Fortress; all they knew was that a remarkable building had suddenly appeared in District S…
