Chapter 7: The Shadow of Doom
In the basement conference room of the center, the bigwigs were talking to each other, with disbelief, shock, and contemplation on their faces. This meeting is more like a countdown to the end of the world, and they usually think that their influence is only in their hands, but when the real sky falls, they still feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
There were eighteen people present, excluding three expert academicians, and at least thirteen of these powerful figures, some family heads who had experienced several generations of prosperity, and all kinds of high-ranking and powerful people. At this time, he was sitting in a precarious position, and under the cover of his expression of seemingly immobile and calmly entering the water, some people began to cinch their arms, and some people's legs began to shake involuntarily.
In the face of a huge crisis, there are huge opportunities. This is a great test for all mankind, a crisis from the universe. They are calculating their spheres of influence, future losses, and trying to find a balance of survival in the midst of the impending horror.
"Bump!" A younger, middle-aged man stood up. Agitated, his leg slammed into the chair with a loud bang that echoed through the empty conference room. Like all human heartstrings ... "These are just your speculations, you surnamed Yan are here with empty white teeth and intimidating us? Yes? Where did you get these archival materials? You explain the explanation. If you don't explain it clearly, this is no child's play, don't fool people with science fiction novels that you picked up from a garbage can. Hehe! ”
Everyone looked at Yan Wenkuan. Yan Wenkuan helped his glasses and squeezed the pages in his hand. His face was expressionless, and then he gently put down the information in his hand and did not speak. spread his hands and looked helplessly at the old man in the middle seat.
"Xiao Li, sit down!" The old man put down his teacup and stood up. A momentum suddenly filled the conference room as he stood up. The middle-aged man was stunned in an instant, and involuntarily opened his mouth to open his mouth, but finally did not say anything more, and slowly sat down on the stool.
"Let me explain the source of the information." The old man picked up another file next to him. "Ji Donglai is not here, let me explain."
"Some of you may have heard why we suddenly intervened in the Iraqi civil war two years ago. Three years ago, the Sea State quietly made a move towards East Itambar, which borders the continental shelf in East Iraq, and you may not know it. The civil war in East Iran and its suddenness. After a sudden outbreak without warning, the Tsukishima Sacred Pillar Alliance got its hands on East Itanbar. All you know is that in the early summer of two years ago, the Lord of Itambar was suddenly killed, and the Holy Pillar Alliance took over Itambar. As you may know, our oil line was cut off for half a year because of this civil war. But what you don't know is that this sudden incident only used a team of 10 mercenaries on the side of the Sea Kingdom. Subsequently, we also used 7 people under Ji Donglai's command.
Speaking of special warfare, I believe that Ji Donglai's people are by no means weaker than the mercenaries of the Sea Kingdom, and the gap between them should be very small when they are all king-level agents. But the result. . . The old man paused as he read the material. As a result, almost all of our agents were wiped out, and none of the 10 agents of the Sea Kingdom were killed or wounded, and the word 'superman' appeared on the intelligence table of the center for the first time. Among the limited information we have at our disposal is the description that 'our enemy, as if tireless, could cross six blockade lines in one night without any means of transport, and the boundaries of heavy fire were different from them, and they could cover hundreds of kilometres in depth in a matter of hours. Again and again, they fought in and out of the heavy siege. Some of them were huge, like humanoid tanks, able to withstand the constant strafing of light fire, while others were small enough to kill any target they thought was worth strangleholding. ”
Under the pressure of agents of the Sea Kingdom and the gradual desperation of the situation, the only remaining agent on the front line lost control, and in order to save the defeat, he assassinated the Third Regent of the Holy Pillar, the Supreme Lord of the Holy Pillar Alliance, who became the lord of Itanpur. And the out-of-control agent, he also slaughtered a village in the Itampur region with his own hands, all the old and young, women and children were spared, the whole thing quickly fermented into a vicious international incident, under the pressure of international public opinion, Ji Donglai had to terminate the Blackwater project, and even did not hesitate to remove the remaining people in Blackwater. Fortunately, in the investigation of normal accidents, we found a breakthrough, and the sudden and chaotic situation gave us enough cushion to operate. As a result, we paid a high price for our industrial energy. ”
"This agent, named Zeng Zhengdong, disappeared after he acted on his own, leaving only a briefing on the mission at the liaison station. And in this mission briefing, he repeatedly mentioned that the mercenary unit of the Iraqi incident this time - the dark angel. ”
"After the Itanpur incident, until the beginning of this year, the missing agent showed up in SIPG. Our people received the message and acted one step too late. He was taken away by unknown forces. Luckily, what our men got from this agent before they were taken away was the information you had in your hands. ”
"Ji Donglai's Blackwater Ace, the only surviving agent in the Iraqi incident. This is what I got back after sneaking into God's Gate. ”
"We will be the facilities mentioned on the intelligence, the location. Including all the character lines, it has been sorted out and compared to the rest of our intelligence. The credibility of this information is almost 90%! ”
"This morning, the Dongguo Cyber Defense Department submitted a large-scale network intrusion record, the network intrusion directly pointed to the Central Intelligence Agency, and when they were defending against the large-scale cyber intrusion of the Haiguo, they accidentally intercepted the Haiguo's 'observation record of the near space station satellite', in which the key description is consistent with the intelligence. Therefore, we believe that a turning point in the destiny of all mankind and the world pattern is coming. We have to make a change. ”
The old man threw the information in his hand on the table, "Everyone, with all due respect. You can take a chance and get through the remaining months, and you can gamble on the non-existence of this information. If you don't want to end up too ugly, I recommend preparing for the worst. You can bet, East Country ... I can't afford to gamble... ”
In the mid-autumn of 2025, the final dogma formed by this secret discussion was drawn up, and its formulation was a collision between the will of the people of the East and the will of heaven. According to the order of the lottery, all the regional inventory will be allocated at one time, and the implementation plan will be quickly spread to each administrative district in the form of a central document. As the encrypted files flew into various administrative regions like snowflakes, a huge project, the rolling wheel of the chariot composed of 6 billion people began to slowly turn.
Therefore, for a period of time, a part of the people in the East Country who have enough self-capital will receive a donation document, and they will be required to donate at least half of their assets to get priority tickets. Families of no more than 10 people, including adequate rations, spacious accommodation, and immediate family members from the treasury. The rest will wait for the lottery and career assignment to be assigned to specific executive positions.
They weren't told what was going to happen, but as the implementation of the plan progressed, some discerning people and regions seemed to be beginning to perceive the change, and some of the big cities with good power began to concentrate on the megacities in the east. Fuel oil, coal, metals and minerals and many more resources are concentrated in several megacities with hundreds of millions of people. Patches of land were planned, and mankind began to build the largest settlement in history at any cost.
