Li Zhen first saw a high wall.

He flew close to the surface of the sea, cruising at supersonic speeds with a gust of wind that ploughed the waters beneath him in a long trajectory. He had planned that if he encountered a wrecked ship on the sea, he might be able to help.

But after seeing the high wall, he realized that there would probably not be such an opportunity.

There are huge waves 40 meters high. From this end of the sky, to the end of the sky, there is no boundary. If you fly high enough and look down from an extremely high altitude, you will realize that this is not a wall, but a ring made up of waves more than 40 meters high.

The ring of the giant wave centered on the Antarctic continent and spread in all directions, like the shock wave of an atomic bomb. But it will have an even more terrifying power, determined to destroy everything it encounters along the way.

Even if it was just the "first cry" or "first yawn" of the huge being at the feet, it was enough to destroy human civilization once in the old era.

Li Zhen flew higher, letting the huge wave push fiercely under him. He heard a loud bang that was even more deafening than the thunder, and his body trembled slightly. The waves were followed by a dark cloud, like a cloud of plague spread by an evil archmage in the fantasy world. The storm swept in, and as soon as it fell on the man, a heavy gray mist rose - and his clothes soon became tattered.

This is terrible strong acid rain.

The sun is obscured. Li Zhen pursed his lips tightly to break through the acid rain and continued to fly forward.

He wanted to see the "volcano". He didn't worry much about his family's well-being, as the Old Gods were strong enough to take care of them. However, the huge and ancient existence of zài also expressed eagerness. Because the only thing in the world that can terrify it is about to awaken. It wants Li Zhen to fulfill the promise he once made to it, but it is not ten years ago - humanity is at a loss, and there is no capital with which to "sit down and talk".

At least they still have ascension technology. In today's situation, "ascension" will probably be the only way out for the vast majority of people. Or die. Or become the "lonely ghost" they have been fearing.

It took him only ten minutes to see the outline of the Antarctic continent. This pure land, which has been covered with ice and snow for many years, has become hideous and terrifying. Li Zhen first saw an obscure "ruby". The entire continent is covered in dark red lava. The torrential acid rain poured down on the fiery lava, but it was quickly evaporated. The magma was still flowing, flowing from the edge of the continent into the ocean, and the nearby waters were boiling violently, as if a giant was boiling a pot of porridge.

The snow and ice of the entire continent have melted and merged into the sea. The great wave I had seen earlier was the masterpiece of that eruption—a liquid of snow and ice propelled by a raging shockwave. Spread to every corner of the northern world. Even the vast oceans are unable to absorb such forces in a short period of time, and they will eventually sweep over every continent.

The mythical Flood will soon become a reality – at least for those who are not deep inland.

Five minutes faster, Li Zhen saw the terrible "wound". It was a crater as vast as an ocean, with billions of tons of magma forming a fiery red waterfall with a drop of tens of meters at the edge.

The temperature here was already extremely high, and the remaining clothes on Li Zhen's body began to spontaneously combust and quickly turned into ashes.

He was above the crater, and the air around him turned red. The composition of the atmosphere in this area had completely changed, and he could barely breathe oxygen.

But there are other structures in the body that are far different from those of human beings. Transform a qiē element into a new source of power.

This time the outbreak...... Strange coming.

Because Li Zhen didn't feel the arrival of the "peak".

Human physics is already barely able to give early warning -- at least six months before the next "peak" arrives.

And this time it will never be a "natural disaster". In the old days, although humans did not have the ability to popularize superpowers on a large scale, it was impossible to even understand that such a huge volcano was hidden under the ice and snow layer of the Antarctic continent. He had come here to see if he could find any clues, but as it stands, even if there were, they had already been destroyed by lava.

Li Zhen exhaled a breath of turbid air in such a cloud of fire and rushed into the air again.

So even he, who was close to the gods, didn't realize that he was on the land of the Antarctic continent beneath his feet, under the thick magma flow. There is a "capsule" hidden.

The location of this capsule is in the former "Great Wall Station". It has been abandoned since the construction of the human space-based project began. People are leaving the planet and heading out into the vastness of space. There is no need to explore its secrets anymore. And I'm even more worried about waking it up.

The capsule is just below the soil layer of the abandoned Great Wall Station.

The capsule is actually a biological pod. But not the rudimentary – and advanced at the time, of course – of a decade or so ago.

It is already much, much bigger, and it was the standard configuration on the space shuttle when the space-based station project was just beginning. In fact, this thing is the equivalent of a lifeboat on a cruise ship.

But it is capable of re-entering the atmosphere at high speed after a crash. Even if it falls like a meteor and rubs against the atmosphere at high speed, the solid surface can ensure the safety of the humans inside.

The nutrient solution in the chamber can keep an average human dormant for one to two years. If one of them is a person with a specific ability, then this time may last for ten years.

A man in this capsule right now. His eyes widened, and he saw Li Zhen's figure disappear and disappear on the dim and mottled screen in front of him.

Then he let out a long breath. The exhaled gas turned into a series of gurgling bubbles inside the capsule's small, liquid-filled space, which was quickly absorbed by the life-sustaining devices on the bulkhead and turned into new nutrients.

He tried to move his body, but realized that he had almost lost control of his limbs and torso.

The display that clings to the face glows faintly. Illuminate a limited area. His hair and beard can be seen to be long, long, like a thick mass of seaweed, wrapping around his own body. There is not much space in the cabin. It can almost be seen as a slightly more spacious coffin.

He's been sleeping here for eight years.

Eight years of slumber had shrunk his limbs, leaving him with a large protruding head. But it's this brain......

It triggered one of the greatest disasters in human history.

The man rested for a moment before blinking. The screen captures the movement of his eyes, and a window pops up. According to the plan many years ago, this should have set in motion an escape procedure.

But there was nothing on the pop-up window, only a pale green cursor that kept jumping.

The man was stunned for a moment. He smiled bitterly. He realized that the truth should be that the plan did not have any "escape procedures" set aside in the first place.

But he didn't care.

He let out a long sigh and fell back into a deep sleep from which he would never wake up again.

When the red light appeared, he had just stepped onto the first ramp of the plane.

An hour later, he received the news that the southern hemisphere had less than a tenth of the land surface that had reached sea level an hour earlier.

He knew what a terrible disaster it was.

The isolation zone still exists. This means that people's range of movement is limited, and even if the "door" can be opened with a special device, it cannot be as it used to be. Freedom of movement.

What a terrible impact this will have on evacuation efforts!

He could already imagine the scene - maybe an hour ago, people in the southern hemisphere had learned the bad news and tried to flee. Yet thousands of people are crowded in front of one door, only to pass in batches. Even if they were really in order due to the constraints of external forces, the disaster would not leave them any chance.

A huge wave swept through the low-lying areas of the continent, and perhaps a certain part of the capable people could survive the ravages of such a violent force, but for the vast majority of people...... They couldn't resist that kind of natural power.

The coast of the northern hemisphere, which will undoubtedly be completely destroyed, will follow. It is unlikely that too many people will survive.

"How so?!" He grabbed the armrest of his chair and cried out with a grief that had nowhere to vent.

But Dai Bingcheng was silent. After a long time, he only sighed lightly.

"We shouldn't need to go to Yanjing." The old man said. "Just wait here. I think Li Zhen will come soon. ”

"We ......," Ying said decisively hesitantly. He felt that what he was going to say next made him feel a little ashamed in the face of such a catastrophe. "It shouldn't work out."

Yes, he was ashamed - the first and most important thought in his mind at such times.

The obvious situation.

The thing under the foot may have to wake up early. In the face of such an urgent and huge crisis, Li Zhen will no longer allow such a thing as a struggle for power to happen, let alone any "peaceful transfer."

The construction of space-based stations was not completed. Only an extremely limited number of people can be taken away. As for who goes and who stays...... This requires an iron fist of repression.

If, as Dai Bingcheng said, Li Zhen has always known about the existence of the "organization", and even has always been clear about where he has been in all these years, and has always acquiesced in the development of the "organization" just to return power to them at the last moment, then it means that by now, the "organization" has completely lost the kind of value that Li Zhen needs.

If you don't have time, let them take over in full; There was no time. and let them quell the social unrest; There is no time for them to complete the finishing touches and lead all mankind to rejoice in the colonization of Mars.

"I know what you're thinking, definitely." Dai Bingcheng shook his head slightly, and then said to the flight attendant, "You can get out of here." ”

After the crew got off the plane, Dai Bingcheng looked at his old subordinate many years ago, who now had fine lines on his forehead, but was still young compared to himself, and said, "Things are not so pessimistic." Maybe you don't know one thing. ”

"More than 10 years ago, after the World Summit, in a room, it was just me and Li Zhen. What he told me at that time was that he never thought he could save everyone. ”

"He wanted to build the resettlement project, but he didn't intend to bring those ordinary people with him in the first place. What he wants to send away is a new human. Including people like his son. ”

"As for the ascension technology later, probably he really wanted to try to save everyone. Li Zhen is a good man, but not a saint. ”

You should be stunned for a moment.

Dai Bingcheng laughed again: "Actually, today's situation is already a blessing. You young people, whether you are Li Zhen or you, you all have an ideal, and you always want to do something. No matter how much you have compromised with reality, I know that you are still a perfectionist at heart. ”

"I woke up and knew about it, and to be honest, I was worried about it before I hibernated, after the World Summit. A person like Li Zhen has almost divine power, and what does he want to save...... Now that I think about it, such a situation is almost inevitable. ”

"Like a mad kid or an adolescent boy -- you may not understand me, but I must show you. After you do it, you will always be considerate and grateful to me. ”

Dai Bingcheng took a sip of water, put the water cup on the small table in front of him, stared at the water glass, and continued: "So he compromised. He made two empires, and ruled under high pressure. But only for a paranoid perfectionist ideal - to save everyone. ”

"But if it were me, I wouldn't take such a risk. Surely, how lucky are you? In ten years, it has not even awakened, allowing you to complete the construction of most of the space-based stations. ”

"Li Zhen told me that he wasn't sure when that thing would wake up—maybe tomorrow, maybe 100,000 years from now. But what is he going to do? What he is going to do, the stake is the entire human civilization. How dare he, even if he himself felt harsh enough, to spend ten years on such a huge immigration project? ”

"How dare you risk a total social upheaval in 10 years to transfer such a huge amount of power? Whether it's handed over to me or to you...... How dare he be trusted? ”

"Director, you ......" Ying resolutely straightened up and frowned.

Dai Bingcheng smiled: "I can trust you." Or maybe I can't trust you. Actually, I don't trust anyone, including myself. I don't know if you'll change someday in a few decades - nothing in this world is forever. ”

"So I said, that's not necessarily a bad thing." (To be continued......) I1292
