The word 'superpower' stirred up the people in the research lab. Could something that only exists in fantasy novels really appear in the real world?
Bai Yan revealed Lin Rou's whereabouts at the hotel: "When I was hosting Captain Qin and his team at the hotel, Lin Rou tried to steal my jade bracelet. It's a six-star hotel, and the security standards are above average."
"But the surveillance cameras in the places where Lin Rou appeared that day have all been destroyed."
“When the surveillance was compromised, the observation station detected the real-time changes in Lin Rou’s physical condition.” Bai Yan pointed to the graph on the computer screen: “On the day the surveillance was blurry, the energy level in this area of her body, what martial artists often call the ‘dantian,’ was rising.”
“And this spatial bracelet.” Bai Yan picked up the bracelet placed to the side: “I haven’t been able to detect what the medium contained in my mother’s bracelet is, but its special ability was extracted from a meteorite I bought on the black market.”
"So after the apocalypse, some people gained superpowers because of the meteor shower, while others were infected with the zombie virus and became zombies. The authenticity of this story is over 90%."
The group, who had been discussing in hushed tones, fell silent. There were spatial bracelets, reborn individuals, and superpowers. Could it really be the end of the world?
Will those cruel and desperate scenes in movies and TV dramas really happen to me or my family?
No normal human being would look forward to the end of the world; it would be a catastrophe for all humanity.
Commander Zhang's gaze swept across everyone's faces. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Dean Bai, I will send people to continue monitoring Lin Rou. As for your research lab, I don't understand this area, but the country will provide full support."
"You can discuss anything with Elder Chen and the others."
Commander Zhang said, "I have a meeting to attend. If anything comes up, you can contact me tomorrow."
Bai Yan nodded; she certainly understood Commander Zhang's predicament.
To get a national machine running for an unknown doomsday, it would take billions of manpower and resources. To make this decision alone, one can imagine the pressure Commander Zhang will face at the meeting tonight.
“If the apocalypse is a calamity, those who successfully overcome it will be grateful to you,” Bai Yan said.
Commander Zhang gave a wry smile: He didn't know how he would get through tonight's ordeal.
"Alright, you guys have your meeting, I'm leaving now."
...
That night, the highest-ranking leaders of various departments of the Chinese government held an emergency meeting. During the meeting, Commander Zhang had someone repeat Bai Yan's words from the meeting room.
To ensure authenticity, he specially brought a spatial bracelet from Bai Yan's research lab.
"This spatial bracelet was made from a medium extracted from a meteorite by Dean Bai." He had his subordinates demonstrate how to use the spatial bracelet.
"In conclusion, I recommend that the entire country maintain a state of war for the next three months. This time we are fighting against natural disasters and the epidemic. If the apocalypse really comes on that day and some humans turn into zombies, the military must ensure the safety of the survivors as soon as possible."
"I know this sounds like a fantasy, but we must try to stop anything that has the potential to happen. It's our duty as long as we wear this uniform!"
Commander Zhang paused for a moment, then continued, "If everything is peaceful three months from now, it will prove that my decision was wrong, and I am willing to resign to take responsibility."
"Now, please raise your hand if you agree with me."
A total of 65 leaders attended the meeting, and 60 raised their hands.
The leader, sitting in the very center, said gently, "Commander Zhang, you said something wrong. Your decision was not flawed. Even if the end of the world doesn't come, we are still protecting the lives and property of the people."
"Whether it's a 50% probability or not, if there is a probability, we need to be prepared."
"It's good that nothing happened. If something did happen, we were able to issue an early warning, which is also a good thing."
"Your plan has been approved at the meeting. You will serve as the wartime commander-in-chief of China for the next three months."
Commander Zhang couldn't help but show his excitement, and quickly raised his hand in salute: "Yes, sir."
The leader thought for a moment, "If it really was a disaster caused by a meteor shower, then China couldn't be the only country affected." The meteor shower was global, "Let's inform other countries of our findings."
Of course, in order to protect Bai Yan, they wouldn't say what they shouldn't say.
"yes."
...
Bai Yi'an used to visit his sister's research institute occasionally; it seemed very professional and legitimate.
But ever since he entered the interrogation room, he hasn't been able to go into his sister's lab again, because he can't get in. There are two soldiers guarding the door, and outsiders can't get in without a pass.
Bai Yan is the person in charge, and Bai Yi'an is the investor; of course, he can get the pass. After receiving the notification, Xiao Chen put down his work and went outside the research institute to pick up Bai Yi'an.
"The dean is still in a meeting, Mr. Bai. You may have to wait a while to see the dean," Xiao Chen said.
Bai Yi'an glanced around; the research room was full of busy researchers who couldn't stay still. He felt he couldn't be of much help, so he shook his head and said, "Never mind, it's nothing important."
He thought for a moment: "What is Xiao Yan doing right now?"
Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Bai, you didn't sign a confidentiality agreement, I..."
Bai Yi'an didn't make things difficult for her. He waved his hand, smiled gently at her, and left.
Xiao Yan had asked him to sign an agreement before, but Bai Yi'an refused because he couldn't handle company affairs for those three months.
