Chapter 39
Li Hao wanted to confront his opponent. After some deliberation, the people at the base finally agreed with Li Hao's opinion. Compared to the difficulties encountered in the magical world, a similar world with a well-ordered government would not be difficult to communicate with.
Especially when they hold sovereignty.
After getting consent, Li Hao did not go to work the next day. She put on her own clothes and even equipped herself with magic equipment. Although her strange clothes made many people look sideways, everyone still respected her freedom of dress.
Li Hao directly clicked the second floor. The first floor was the security floor, where soldiers and police stayed. The second floor was the government offices.
Li Hao went straight to the staff and said he had something important to discuss and needed to see the director of the shelter.
"If you have any questions, you can tell us first and I will try to help you find the responsible staff." Of course, the people at the information desk would not let Li Hao go directly to see the director.
Li Hao didn't even bother to force his way in. Instead, he condensed a ball of water in the air. The tiny ball of water floated in front of the receptionist, who opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
He even reached out and touched the water ball with suspicion.
"I have some special abilities and need to see the director." Li Hao waved his hand and the water ball evaporated directly.
Soon after the busy staff finished contacting everyone, Li Hao sat in the office.
The director of 313 was a middle-aged woman with short, capable hair and glasses. Her sharp eyes swept over Li Hao.
Before she could ask, Li Hao started introducing himself.
"Hello, my name is Li Hao, and I'm a time traveler. I can travel through different worlds. I'm from another world."
This sentence left Director Huang completely confused, and she opened her mouth to say something.
Li Hao waved her hand and a fireball appeared in the room. The temperature rose by two or three degrees. After she dispersed the fireball, a water ball appeared.
This move stunned Director Huang. Li Hao then took out his camera and placed it directly in front of Director Huang, while also pulling out a speaker from his space ring.
"Hello, we are a government from another world..."
The base's personnel explained the situation, while Li Hao was responsible for convincing the other party. After witnessing magical abilities, psychic powers, and the snacks the other party brought out, as well as various videos recorded on a tablet, Li Hao's tablet contained numerous photos and videos of his parents.
She looked at these things in front of Director Huang for a long time and was completely convinced.
"This is really amazing... I believe you are a real time traveler... I didn't expect there is another world." She took a long breath and said thoughtfully.
"As you can see, the technology in my own world is not as advanced as here, but I went to a magical world where there are very magical spells and potions that can regenerate severed limbs. My space technology also comes from that world." Li Hao explained.
"I discovered that healing can clean up pollution." Then she added emphatically.
"Really?" Director Huang had recovered from her shock, but when she heard Li Hao say this, she couldn't hold back anymore.
With their technology, there was really no way to deal with the pollution caused by that thing. If they didn't solve this problem, they would have to stay in the shelter forever.
"You can try it with a contaminated plant." Nothing is better than seeing it with your own eyes, said Li Hao.
Soon, a plant enclosed in glass was delivered. Li Hao used the healing spell, and the pollution level immediately dropped.
Li Hao's mental strength was very high at the moment, and the spell consumption just now had no effect on her. She simply continued to cast healing spells until the pollution value was cleared.
Director Huang looked at the mark of 0 on the pollution value on the glass jar, pushed his glasses, and moved closer to look at it carefully.
"We can cooperate. You need magic and spells, and our world can provide assistance. And we need technology and knowledge." The other end of the base said in a timely manner.
...
When Director Huang believed Li Hao's words, everything became much simpler.
"If it was before the disaster, I might not have believed it so quickly." Director Huang and Li Hao were on the same plane. She activated the emergency plan and took Li Hao directly to the central shelter.
"I really want to know what that is and what disaster happened to you." Li Hao asked.
"It all started with a meteorite." Director Huang organized his words and explained to Li Hao.
At that time, Director Huang was just eighteen years old and had just entered university. One day, a meteorite broke apart upon entering the atmosphere and fell all over the Earth.
All the changes were going to start from here, but by the time everyone realized something was wrong, it was already a month later, and heavy fog had occurred in several major cities.
Many disappearances occurred after that, and the government was already investigating and solving the problem.
"...it was actually too late by then." Director Huang's tone was a little downcast when he said this. They actually had many opportunities to avoid this situation.
She was a witness to the incident, and her city was shrouded in fog. The school required them to stay in school. They listened to all sorts of rumors and news, feeling panicked, fearful, and nervous.
Later, the country took action and used a special instrument, which actually used strong winds to blow away the thick fog.
Everyone thought the horror was over, but it turned out to be just the beginning.
Just one night after the thick fog cleared, the tallest building in the city center was covered in a yellow jelly substance and tilted. A large hole had opened in the ground, revealing a dense mass of brown cocoons of all sizes. These cocoons were actually spread throughout the underground.
When these cocoons hatch, they become giant insects that grow at the touch of a wind. There are even different species of insects, some larger than elephants, others the size of mice.
But they are all terrifying hunters, and the prey of these insects is all living things.
That was a day Huang Qing would never forget. These bugs attacked the school, her friends, and her teachers. People around her fell one by one, and the place that was once an ivory tower became a slaughterhouse.
They fled in all directions, desperately resisting. Some teachers took the survivors and hid in the gymnasium. Though still children, they became warriors, protecting their injured classmates.
They held out for a day and a night until the army arrived to rescue them. But those classmates who had died would never come back. Even though it had been so long, Huang Qing could still remember the faces of those who had passed away.
No one thought these insects were so difficult to deal with. They were not afraid of artillery shells, they could work together, and most importantly, their reproduction speed was terrifying.
Even missiles could not destroy these guys. Even after repeated artillery attacks and bombs, the bodies of these Zerg became harder and harder, as if they had absorbed the damage and mutated and evolved.
Humanity's methods are losing ground to these creatures. This isn't just a matter for one country; all creatures on the planet are facing an unprecedented crisis.
Scientists have discovered that these creatures were brought by the meteorite that fell that day. These are alien creatures, extremely adaptable. Under artillery fire, they have adapted to high temperatures and explosions. Even poison gas, electric shock, and flooding are ineffective in stopping the spread of these Zerg. Yellow Zerg nests can be found in the Arctic, Africa, and other places, even in the oceans.
In just one month, countless cities were occupied, and humanity was harvested like straw by these Zerg.
"...Our country has a relatively strong military, and we were able to withstand the Zerg's attacks. Even so, we couldn't save everyone. Many countries didn't even have an army, and they were completely defeated..."
At that time, no country had the spare capacity to provide assistance to other places, and it was already very difficult to protect itself.
"Every day when I open my eyes, I hear the fluttering of insect wings. The air is filled with the smoke and the stench of blood. That smell is pervasive..." Director Huang looks out the window, seeing the remains of countless people buried beneath the yellow sand. "I'm truly lucky, or perhaps I'm truly unlucky, to have survived."
Her friends and relatives were killed by insects one by one.
By this time, scientists and researchers no longer cared about national boundaries or patents. They developed bug alarms and various weapons to combat the Zerg. However, the Zerg's terrifying evolutionary abilities always resulted in heavy losses.
In the end, due to the explosion of a nuclear power plant in a certain country, the insects in that area were completely eliminated.
After a joint meeting, the nations on Earth with spare capacity launched Project Dawn. Shelters were built around the world, and the survivors took refuge in them.
"...After the nuclear bomb exploded, abnormal weather occurred in many places, but the nests where the insects hatched were indeed destroyed. We can be said to have won a tragic war. But unfortunately, after the nests of those insects died, their bodies secreted a special substance, causing all the plants and land to be contaminated." Director Huang finally said.
Li Hao had never thought that the nuclear war would be caused by this. She also followed Director Huang's gaze and looked towards the window. Who would have thought that this was once a beautiful green planet like her world?
"What are the characteristics of that meteorite?" The person at the base asked after hearing the story.
"Yes, we have conducted special research in order to prevent such situations from occurring in the future. The meteorite will suddenly deflect before entering the Milky Way, and it is intentional and comes to our planet specifically. We can judge it based on the special conditions of the orbit, and the meteorite is very complete and round, which is very rare and can be identified." Director Huang said.
The plane arrived after the story was finished. Li Hao could see the building from a distance. The city was covered by something like a glass cover.
"This is the current capital, the First Refuge." Director Huang introduced Li Hao. The plane circled above something that looked like a glass cover, and then a hole opened up. The plane landed through the hole.
And there were already people waiting at the landing point.
