Chapter 117 Metaphysics Live Broadcast + Raising Children 41
Upon seeing Xiao Yan, his superior signaled him, "Please sit down first. Everyone will be here soon."
Xiao Yan found the seat on the table where his name was placed and sat down.
Most of those sitting here today were high-ranking officials from the national security department, as well as some people he had never met, and even some individuals he often saw on the news.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly to the old man of the Ning family, and he nodded in response without saying anything.
The others didn't know what was going on, and the atmosphere was very serious.
At the beginning of the meeting, the top official of the national security department sat in the main seat with a solemn expression.
"I believe some of you already have some understanding of today's meeting. This is also the purpose of our meeting today."
"Of course, there are also many people who don't know what happened. Next, please let us watch a set of videos sent back by Comrade Song Cheng."
As the video played, everyone saw that the screen was completely dark, accompanied by rustling sounds, and because it was moving too fast, very faint starlight would occasionally flash across the screen. It can be seen that it was not that there was no picture, but that the time of the video was at night.
After about seven or eight minutes, the person filming the video pointed the camera forward and then zoomed in.
The picture moves from far to near, and the picture quality is very blurry, but you can see that the camera is shooting on a beach by the sea.
If it was just an ordinary beach, it would be nothing, but what is creepy is that at this moment, a densely packed and extremely spectacular number of strange-looking things crawled out from it!
Some of these creatures look like octopuses, but with four heads! Some have human bodies, but with extra features that humans can't have! Others are just pools of liquid, but they move incredibly fast.
When these things crawled out of the sea, they looked like they were molded out of white clay, but when they reached the land, they turned into the same color as the surrounding scenery and objects.
These unknown beings have the ability to disguise themselves!
What the hell is this?
Just when everyone was puzzled, something like a vine suddenly emerged from the ground and tightly tied up the person filming.
The camera fell and tilted, and everyone finally saw the person filming the video.
He looks to be in his thirties and has a resolute face.
Almost in an instant, he was dragged from the ground into the ground by that thing.
It was not the kind of fine sand beach that everyone thought, like an animal digging a blood tube and leaving a tunnel. No one knew what substance that thing secreted. It had just drilled into the beach with its front paw when the comrade who was filming it was smashed into the beach with his back paw. But the terrifying thing was that there was no "tunnel" on the ground at all.
The comrades who were being dragged felt like they were being dragged through hard cement. How could a human body be stronger than cement?
In an instant, the skeleton of the comrade who was filming the video fell out of his back, and his human body remained on the ground.
The scene is extremely horrifying and cruel.
No one can survive after the skeleton is separated from the flesh.
I don’t know how long it took, but a monster with densely packed eyes on its forehead appeared in front of the camera. Its face was enlarged in the camera, and then the picture suddenly stopped.
The conference room was silent for a moment, and then everyone finally came alive.
They had their doubts, but they did not disturb the quiet of the meeting.
"After watching this video, you may be wondering what the monsters in the video are, when and where they appear, and whether there are any ways to deal with them."
"I will explain the answer to you below."
"According to the investigation, these monsters first appeared on October 26, xx, in the waters of Country R."
"These monsters contain genes from marine organisms, so the international research team named them Sea Monsters, which means sea monster in Chinese. After much pain, we successfully obtained information about them."
"We divide these sea monsters into eight levels: Level 1 sea monsters are extremely powerful and can easily push objects weighing 18 tons, which is equivalent to a heavy truck."
"Besides their immense strength, they also retain the unique abilities of their respective groups, even evolving mental attacks and mind control beyond human comprehension, and even the ability to influence and control a wide range of groups."
"For example, the sea monsters that attacked in the video are mutated octopuses. Their tentacles can extend up to twenty meters, and they secrete a substance that makes the ground extremely hard. They like to violently drag people to the ground and slam them to pieces."
"Of course, there are more than just these first-level sea monsters. This octopus sea monster is just one of them. The higher their level, the higher their intelligence. They are extremely hostile to humans and enjoy torturing and killing."
"We tried to communicate with them, but they refused to respond and launched even more brutal attacks on humans."
He looked at everyone.
"The good news is: their lair is only in the waters of Country R. The bad news is: they've undergone a super-gene mutation, deviating from their original genetic program. Their reproductive genes are very strong, and they are almost constantly producing mutated sea monsters."
"The most important thing is that they can leave the ocean and move on land."
After everyone digested this information, he continued, "I'm sure everyone is curious about how we should deal with this threat to human survival."
"That's the main point of today's meeting."
He pulled up the data. "Research shows that using firearms, ammunition, or even nuclear weapons on these sea monsters will only split them apart and transform them into even more terrifying sea monsters. They can penetrate the human body through the pores of the skin, absorbing the blood from the body. Within an hour, they can drain the body dry and break out again."
"After repeated research and experiments, we found that only spiritual energy can cause irreversible and irreversible damage to them."
"For the survival of humanity, after serious discussions among all nations, it has been unanimously decided to establish the International World Security Council. Each nation will send its elites to the battlefield."
"When the country is in trouble, we must return when called! According to our country's special national security laws, all cadres from level x to level x are required to participate. Other personnel can choose to participate voluntarily."
Every member of the National Security Service was aware of this upon joining, and they had no objections. After all, this was the mission of the National Security Service; protecting national stability was their duty! If one were afraid of death, they wouldn't have chosen to join the National Security Service.
"I have already covered the main content of this meeting. The detailed instructions will be delivered to everyone after the meeting. Anyone interested in attending can sign up with the group leaders."
Looking at his colleagues who he worked with day and night, he stood up and saluted everyone.
"I, Hu Deshou, currently serve in the Ministry of State Security as the commander-in-chief. Now, on behalf of the people of this country, I salute you all! Thank you for your service to our country! I also hope that you can return safely!"
Everyone saluted him as well.
"Defending our country is our mission! It is also our honor!"
After the meeting, in addition to the personnel on the mandatory participation list who took the initiative to go for special training, personnel from other departments also actively participated.
If it weren't for the need to preserve new sparks, the huge Ministry of State Security would probably become empty.
In addition to the official, talented people from the public also responded after seeing the program announcement. They are not official members, and many have not even received systematic training, but they all have a common name.
Their name is China! This is their national belief that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, no matter how many dynasties they have gone through!
Xiao Yan should have been on the mandatory list, but when he was recruited, he only joined as a non-staff member, not a formal member.
Over time, his abilities were recognized by the state. The higher-ups knew he didn't like being in charge, so in order to make him a permanent member of the Ministry of State Security, they not only gave him a promotion and a raise, but also extended his original contract.
In other words, he had the freedom to choose whether to go or not in this disaster-level event.
There was no need for hesitation at all. After the meeting, Xiao Yan's registration list appeared on the table of the Ministry of State Security's commander-in-chief.
As the commander-in-chief of the Ministry of State Security, Hu Deshou wanted to fight together with his colleagues, but the country needed him to coordinate the overall situation.
As the highest-ranking official in the Ministry of State Security, no one understands the Ministry's operating mechanism better than him, and he can make reasonable arrangements to minimize casualties.
Hu Deshou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your contribution to the motherland! The country and the people will fight with you in the rear!"
Xiao Yan: “…”
"Okay, stop the sentimental talk and give me two days off. My sister's leave will be over in a few days."
As a family member, Chen Zhao naturally came here as well.
"Training starts on the 10th. Will two days be enough? Should I approve you for a week?"
Compared with the sea monsters with amazing reproductive capabilities, talented people are just a drop in the ocean. What awaits them is a disaster-level battlefield. Being able to survive on the battlefield is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and no one can guarantee that they can return safely.
This is also the time the country gives them to say goodbye to their family and friends.
Xiao Yan put away the leave note and glanced at him when he heard this.
"Look at you, always being sentimental. We're just genetically mutated creatures. Humanity has survived to this day, so we're definitely not weak. We're just in a difficult situation now. Don't act like we can never come back."
Hu Deshou: "..."
He waved his hand, urging them to leave: "Go, go, go! Go! You, the chosen one, leave now! If you make me angry again, I'll take back your leave!"
After the door closed, Hood sat in the empty office, his eyes fixed on the family photo on the table.
The photo shows a family of four.
His wife and two children had died on the front line.
Now, he is the only one left in this family.
