The other pure water on the table had not been capped, but the bottle in front of Yan Wangye had bottomed out. Yan Wangye is usually not so thirsty, but he is a little nervous at this time, this is the first time he has participated in a joint meeting at this level.

In the past, in the internal meetings of the Far Rescue Association, even if it was a top-secret level, Jiang Tongguang, the former leader of the investigation team, would bring Yan Wangye, the deputy leader, and Chairman Yang turned a blind eye, and the heads of other departments naturally did not say much.

But this time it was different, and it can be seen from the changes in the participants that there were not only people from the Far Rescue Association and the Parliament, but also people from the 19th Bureau and the Change Control Center, and there were also a few fresh faces that they had never seen before, all of whom were comrades from the Ministry of State Security or the State Secrets Bureau.

Among them, the members of the Far Salvation Association are all the core high-level leaders who hold real power in the association, except for the current president Zhou Tianming, they can't see the second non-awakened person, and they can't see the deputy of which department, obviously they are not qualified enough to observe this joint meeting, if Yan Wangye is not now the leader of the investigation team, I am afraid he is not qualified to sit here.

After drinking all the bottles of water, Yan Wangye was embarrassed to get a second bottle, so he had to use other ways to relieve his nervousness. Like everyone else sitting at the conference table, Yan Wangye took out a cigarette and lit it, taking a pleasant puff, as if they still had a lot of time, but everyone in the room knew very well that there was not much time left for them.

The second magic tide is coming, and according to the historical information given by Speaker Yu, the strength of each magic tide will far exceed the previous one, until it is completely over. Speaker Yu has warned more than once that compared with the second magic tide, the first magic tide that only tore the spatial cracks in the four major cities of Shangjing, Nandu, Tokyo, and Los Angeles is likely to be just a small wave.

It is said that at this critical juncture, all mankind should put aside the hatred of the past, put aside the discord between countries, nationalities, political opinions, religions, and beliefs, unite the front, and fight together in order to minimize losses as much as possible and leave enough vitality to face the crises and disasters that will continue to arise in the future.

But first, there's another problem to solve: mutants are a more terrifying enemy than the Demon Tide.

Demon tides are external invasions, enemies that can be identified at a glance, and only need machine guns, cannons, or missile gunboats to destroy them, while mutants will make human civilization rot from the roots, dying out little by little, and to deal with them, you must first have to endure the rotten flesh in your body, and delay will only make things worse.

Someone made a very interesting analogy: if all human beings are a group of people from different countries, different nationalities, different skin colors, languages and thoughts, locked in a secret room struggling to survive, then the demon tide is a bloodthirsty tiger thrown into the secret room, and the mutant is a contagious cancer.

Some people can only wait to be killed in the face of the tiger, and some people may be injured by the tiger, but they can quickly kill the tiger after reacting. But whether you're devastated and unarmed, or you're armed and powerful, as long as you stay in this chamber, you risk getting infected and dying a miserable death as your condition progresses.

People cannot see this latent crisis with the naked eye, but they know that it exists, but they cannot be sure which person or people it is really hiding in.

For those in the know, it was like a countdown to destruction hanging over their heads, the longer the time dragged on, the closer the destruction became, and sometimes this countdown was quickly shortened by the breakthrough made by the mutant in some way, and now the countdown finally made everyone feel uneasy, and spontaneously sat together, determined to find a solution.

It's just that if the only one who can go berserk is indifferent to this, does the others really have the ability to erase the mutant completely? Yan Wangye is not very optimistic about this.

The war of change is different from the war against corpses, it does not take place on the battlefield with open swords and guns, and the participants are not ordinary soldiers who are sacrificed as cannon fodder, but the elite class of all mankind.

With the ability to learn, imitate, bewitch and play with people's minds displayed by mutants, you can always find fools who are willing to believe in them and careerists who are willing to use each other with them, and with their tricks of "immortality", "rebirth" and "harmless coexistence", they will spread like cancer cells.

In Yan Wangye's view, if the current trend continues, then in the end they will repeat the experience of the US military during the Vietnam War: winning every battle, but losing the entire war.

At this time, a faint black mist drifted in front of Yan Wangye's eyes, pulling Yan Wangye out of contemplation.

More and more black fog appeared indoors and flew in the same direction, as if a large cloud of fog had been sucked into the main seat of the conference table by an extractor.

President Young is here.

It wasn't when he walked in, but deliberately turned into a black mist and floated in and then reassembled his body on the main seat.

I have to say that this scene is very visually impactful, especially for those who see it for the first time, it is even more shocking. Yan Wangye noticed that the faces of those comrades from the Ministry of State Security and the Secret Bureau had changed, although they were well hidden, Yan Wangye still saw envy and awe in their eyes, which was the respect that ordinary people should have for the transcendent.

"In the thirties of the fourteenth century, somewhere in East or Central Asia, a flea bite caused someone to fall ill with the plague bacillus, which later became known as the Black Death, and this plague army conquered Asia, Europe, and North Africa with rats and fleas, and reached the Atlantic coast within twenty years, killing between 75 million and 200 million people."

Chairman Yang didn't sit down and start the meeting immediately as usual, but from his tone, Yan Wangye could hear the urgency of racing against time.

"On March 5, 1520, a slave named Francisco arrived in Cimpoaraland, Mexico, with the smallpox virus, and ten days later Nuevo Boalan was turned into a cemetery, and eight months later, more than eight million people had died from the smallpox virus in Mexico."

"In January 1918, the Spanish flu was transmitted to the countries of the world through the most efficient supply network on the battlefield, and within a few months, about 500 million people around the world were infected with the virus, and in less than a year, more than 50 million people died from the Spanish flu, compared with 40 million in the four years of the First World War."

"On July 12, 2010, the T-virus outbreak in Yuanjiang directly caused more than four million deaths. Seven months later, the dome disappeared, and the virus, which could destroy human civilization, spread around the world. We are now facing the greatest crisis that human civilization has ever faced, and if we fail to achieve victory, humanity will surely perish. ”

"All-out war is urgent!"
