Winter has already arrived, and people in Kyoto are wearing thicker clothes.
Huang Jiutian stood high on the special security group building. His strong eyesight enabled him to see the pedestrians coming and going on the street in the distance.
All parts of the capital began to prepare lamps and flowers and hang up red lanterns.
Many people are in a hurry, and you can even see quite a few people dragging suitcases, preparing to go to the station, airport, etc. in advance.
"It's already late January..."
"Yeah, it's almost New Year's Day."
Liu Yue sighed beside him.
"So many things have happened this year! I don't know what will happen next year."
Liu Yue is an old man who has followed Tao Xingzhi since the Special Event Stress Safety Group was first established.
Even if we count from the moment when the most critical "Tenth Man Theory" was proposed, it has been less than two years since this department was established.
At first, we crossed the river by feeling our way forward, then we searched for direction amidst trepidation, and finally we gradually got on the right track.
The real beginning of efficiency also began in this year, which refers to the Chinese lunar calendar.
After the rat infestation in Shanghai and the Battle of Kyoto, no one in the Special Security Team, except for the new recruits who are still training in the barracks, believes that the current global situation can continue.
Even the most optimistic people have become nervous, and some experienced agents are going deep into various parts of the country, taking turns to secretly monitor all abnormalities.
Now that it is the end of the year, the special security team and the troops on combat readiness duty are busier than ever.
"At least this year, we are still absolutely confident that the people of the whole country will have a good New Year!"
Liu Yue said this with great confidence.
Jiutian looked at him and suddenly laughed.
"Brother Liu, why are you so sentimental? Are you excited because your punching strength test broke through 3,000 pounds yesterday?"
3,000 pounds has exceeded the limit of ordinary people's physical fitness, which is almost close to 1,500 kilograms. Although there is a power accumulation process, the actual explosive force will be much lower than this, but it is also terrifying enough.
Magic crystals are very precious, and all the special security groups know that, but Tao Xingzhi still gritted his teeth and cut off that small piece.
Liu Yue was one of the people who accepted the wearing experiment. Huang Jiutian, as the best treated individual, naturally also had a small one.
In addition to wearing it, a small number of people use various means such as radiation, ultra-high and low temperatures, and ionization stimulation to try to safely and effectively release the energy in the magic crystal.
After a long time of trying, only a few people saw changes in their body functions, and Liu Yue was one of them.
"My strength is no match for you perverts."
Speaking of this, Liu Yue shrugged.
"Jiutian, I couldn't understand your suffering before, but now I can understand you."
Huang Jiutian was a little confused.
"What pain? I think I'm fine."
Liu Yue sighed.
"The Second Institute has set up an evolution file for me, considering it an important opportunity to carefully observe the new evolution process of the human body. I have to go there every three days now. I am stripped naked and have to feel the high and low temperatures, the radiation from the machine, have my blood drawn, and then answer all kinds of psychological questions. They even ask about my girlfriend and I's private parts..."
Jiutian's face immediately turned black. It turned out that this was what he was referring to.
"Well, I'm still better than you, and the research on me now only involves taking blood samples regularly."
"Ah? No way, didn't you awaken your magic power? Why are they acting so out of character?"
"Hey, magic power is already a force beyond the conventional material level. Several full-body examinations did not yield any results, so they changed to blood draws and regular tests to ask me to cooperate actively."
"Just because of this?"
Liu Yue still found it a little unbelievable.
"Hey, Brother Liu, I'm different from you. My superiors won't allow the research institute to take up too much of my time."
Liu Yue suddenly realized, and it was his own fault for falling into a misconception. In fact, except for a few people whose physical fitness was actively improved due to the influence of the magic crystal, the other evolvers in the special security team did not need to be so exaggerated. Occasionally drawing blood was the norm.
Jiutian looked at his watch.
"Let's go, it's almost time."
Their current location was just a lounge and activity room. After turning around and leaving, they soon arrived at the auditorium upstairs.
In the special security team, the year-end summary is not a simple formality, but an important verification and summary of the strategic direction.
This is also the place where the Kyoto Immunity Campaign was established.
Hundreds of elite agents and research experts from various fields were sitting in the venue, in addition to some leaders from relevant state departments. Everyone arrived at the venue early before the meeting started, even leaders from external departments who were not part of the special security team.
The Kyoto Immunity Campaign is the biggest wake-up call for everyone since the country’s strategic shift.
The meeting started on time at 1:00 p.m.
Tao Xingzhi spoke directly to the point at the podium in front, keeping his polite remarks as brief as possible.
"Thank you all comrades and leaders for attending this meeting. Our time is precious, so I will not elaborate on anything irrelevant."
Press the remote control and three large split-screen pictures will be displayed directly on the big screen.
"Excluding diplomatic factors, what we are most concerned about is naturally the degree of control of the national mutation and the war preparedness work represented by the super civil defense project."
In the picture, the diplomatic factors on the left include exchanges with other countries and exchanges and cooperation with the Shuguang Association.
The two split-screen images on the top and right represent mutation control and combat readiness.
"In terms of diplomatic work, there are two important milestones. One is that we have initially established a stable cooperative exchange relationship with the Shuguang Association. We should still be in a leading position in the world in this regard. The other is that we have established the World Alliance with the other five countries."
There is no need to elaborate on this part. Everyone present knows that there won’t be much fluctuation without any iconic representative events.
"The second is the control of abnormal events. Before that, let's first get a direct understanding of the environmental changes."
Pictures appeared on the screen, including mountains, rivers, Heze forests and cities.
"According to statistics obtained two days ago, our country's forest coverage rate is currently 21.6%. In the past year, it has increased by 20% from the original basis!"
Everyone below, except the agents in charge of the relevant investigation and the people from the forestry department, was in an uproar.
"Since the growth areas are all in remote mountainous areas and forest land that was once destroyed on a large scale, people may not feel it very clearly. In some mountain forests, the growth of trees is far beyond the normal value."
The picture then changed, and some photos of the woodland appeared, with the vegetation clearly showing a trend of becoming taller and denser.
"Among wild animals, mutations definitely exist, but they are very rare. The most impressive ones are the rat infestation in Shanghai and the monkey king."
Countless photos of giant rats appeared, including a short video of the battle, followed by photos of the Monkey King and those extremely intelligent wild macaques.
"According to the theory of one-world evolution communicated with Shuguang, the mutations produced by animals are actually quite similar to the evolution of humans, except that there are good and bad people among humans, while animals have greater uncertainty due to their instinctive factors."
Tao Xingzhi paused after saying this.
"For example, the giant rats, their increased demand for food could lead to dire consequences."
There was a lot of whispering in the audience, and everyone agreed with it. Even Shuguang sent someone (Shu) to deal with the group of rats, which indirectly illustrated this problem.
“This has resulted in a significant increase in our monitoring work.”
"But the overall control rate of abnormal events is still at an ideal level, and the impact on people's lives is also within a controllable range."
It's another common chart, showing how mutations of various danger levels are handled, and also mentioning the upward trend.
“Then there’s the super-civil defense project and combat readiness.”
This is the highlight of today. Except for the Dawn aspect, most of the advantages of the countries in the World Alliance over other countries are concentrated in this area.
The dangers ahead have long been a commonplace. By now, the country has raised its response standards to the limit. If it is raised further, the normal lives of people across the country will be disrupted.
Due to the advantage of intelligence information, and the tacit understanding among the major powers, domestic resources were tightened and external resources were imported, which enabled several countries to make progress far ahead of other countries.
The cruelty of politics is also vividly reflected in this point. For the sake of national interests, international morality sometimes seems so fragile.
The people present were not ordinary young people. They were experienced and would not frown at such things. The people of my own country do not even have the confidence to be fully protected, so how can I have the energy to care about others? It's just that for the sake of seeing each other again in the future, I didn't do anything excessive. In addition, the economic purchase of materials also gave me considerable profits.
As Tao Xingzhi narrated, we finally came to the part that we were most concerned about.
A national map appeared on the screen, densely covered with countless light spots, some large, some small, and of various colors.
“The progress of the mega project is as follows.”
"First, let's talk about military equipment facilities. According to the principle of military equipment priority, 12 concealed arsenals have been relocated and are being rebuilt. In addition, the protection construction of the original large-scale ground military equipment factories is also being carried out simultaneously. The overall completion rate is 67%."
"All kinds of weapons and supporting bullets, artillery and weapons of mass destruction are in saturated production 24 hours a day according to demand. The planned reserve area is 40% full, and the grain reserve is basically in line with the progress plan."
Speaking of this, the light spots on the map became brighter, and you can see that there are very few green dots. The majority are yellow dots, and there are more red dots than green dots.
"This is a progress chart showing the construction of two hundred super-civil defense bases."
Some are underground, some are located in the mountains, and the more exaggerated ones are under the rivers or connected to the estuaries.
"There is not a single new base that is 100% complete and ready for use. The Jiacheng base, which has the fastest progress, has only completed the construction of external protection. The backfilling and camouflage work has not yet begun. The installation of weapons for the external defense system is only halfway complete, and the progress of the ground and underground docking channels is even worse..."
There were already sighs from the audience. The time was too short. Even with the amazing speed of China, it was impossible to perform magic while ensuring quality and quantity.
"We have done everything we can..."
