November 6, 2423, 36th Floor, Coalition Government Headquarters A.

Hua Chengyu stood in front of the window, his face grim. Previously, the relevant departments had made a detailed report on the flow of infected people from the F layer to the ruins continent, and in the past few months, there has been no news of the tracers, and the situation in this world has become more and more serious day by day. Since the beginning of last month, a large number of infected people from Layers A to E have begun to lose their traces in the control areas of each layer, and then, according to the government's detection instruments, a large number of infected people have been detected in the ruins of the F layer at the same time.

Prehistoric civilizations used some unknown means to avoid the extremely strong compartments of the building, and began to transfer infected people from various levels to the ruins continent. The government has not been able to find out the cause of this. Hundreds of millions of infected people, just like this, disappeared mysteriously and mysteriously into various layers, and mysteriously appeared on the ruins continent.

Half a month ago, the central controller of the government headquarters building was infected by a virus, and then the information about the "13 districts incident", which was classified as a super-high-level core secret by the government, was leaked to the public system of the building.

For more than a year, the government has worked hard to downplay the "13 districts incident". , and the concealment of the people as much as possible to prevent disorder, so far, completely disappeared.

This information was like a huge bomb, causing shocking waves among the people. Accusations against the government were overwhelming, and in the eyes of the people, it was a completely premeditated and inhumane and bloody massacre against nearly a million unarmed civilians, and the government did not explain it after the fact, but instead went out of its way to conceal or even distort the facts, treating the dead without any guilt. The leak of the incident caused a huge reputational damage and shadow on the coalition government, and the good image that had been built up in the minds of the people for centuries was almost instantaneously wiped out. The order of society began to become more and more out of control, and out of accusation and distrust of the government, the attitude of the people towards the government military and police was no longer as friendly as before, and the government fell into an unprecedented situation of isolation in the position of the people.

And the seriousness of the matter is much more than that. The number of infected people is increasing every day, and with the chaos of social order, the government is no longer able to protect the people, and the number of infected people is also rising wildly day by day. And the invulnerables, eventually, all went to the ruins continent.

"In power, the military and political chiefs at all levels ask to see me." The guards knocked on the door.

Hua Chengyu nodded. "See you."

He watched as dozens of military and political officials, representing the highest power in the coalition government, walked in and sat down at the tables in the meeting room. Meetings of this magnitude have become accustomed during this time.

Lu Heng didn't wait for Hua Chengyu to give an order, he stood up directly. "According to the monitoring of the ruins continent in the 19th district, as of yesterday, the total number of infected people in the ruins continent has reached one billion, plus some of the infected people lurking among humans, it is conservatively estimated that there are no less than 1.3 billion, that is, we have lost at least nearly one-seventh of our compatriots."

So far, no news has been sent back from the tracers, and the whole contact, in the past two months, has been directly interrupted, and the government has put the members of the 1,000-person detachment on the missing list, and basically no one has any hope for the success of their operation anymore.

"Is there any progress in the investigation into the means by which infected people are transferred to the mainland?"

Zuo Si shook his head. "Not yet, but from my own point of view, I think it is largely inextricably linked to the edifice system itself, which has been previously identified as a potential threat."

He added. "I would still suggest that senior government agencies and corresponding officials be moved to Tier F, where it seems that direct threats to the system can be avoided at this point."

Hua Chengyu did not answer Zuo Si's last words. He looked at the others.

Layton thought for a moment, and he offered his opinion. "Now the government is in an unprecedented predicament in all respects, we are in a situation where we are stretched financially, politically, militarily, we have been at a disadvantage from the very beginning, most of the plans we have carried out for more than a year have ended in failure, and in the current situation, it is only a matter of time before we fail in the struggle against prehistoric civilization."

It was as if he was just stating a fact, but his eyes were filled with a sense of loss. "What should be considered now is to do everything possible to save as many people as possible, and this place, I think, is no longer suitable for staying."

"The government should probably think about ways to get out of here."

All the senior officials looked at Leiden. They all knew what Layton meant by "this place", something they had never thought of and dared not think of. Since the edifice era, due to the high development of science and technology, human beings have basically not had too much in-depth practical exploration of the universe, in addition to the theoretical breakthrough research, due to the limited application of practical theory, human exploration of outer space, basically stopped in the space inside the solar system.

With the deepening of research in recent years, the scientific community has reached a consensus on the concept that only the Earth can be used as a planet suitable for life in the solar system, coupled with the superiority and advancement brought by the building system to human life, human beings are generally more dependent on the blue planet where they live now.

Leiden's views and opinions are very obvious that the government needs to make a practical breakthrough in the study of the space flight program, which first requires the support of huge economic power, and now the whole edifice is in chaos, and the government can only barely maintain normal operation in the economic aspect, and space flight, even a small experiment requires a huge source of funding, which is obviously difficult for the government to bear in the current difficult situation.

In the existing research data on astronomy, it is impossible to have planets suitable for human habitation in the entire solar system, in fact, even if it is habitable, for prehistoric civilizations, a small solar system, in terms of distance, it still seems a little too close, and through observation, the nearest planet that may be suitable for human habitation is 14 light years away, with the current space technology of human beings, without considering the survival and power energy supply, only from the perspective of time, It would take an extremely long time to reach that unknown place, and there were no surprises to be taken into account.

Moreover, the theoretical research and practice in this area, from the beginning of the establishment of the building system to the present more than 300 years, is basically in a state of stagnation, and now it is impossible to estimate the time required to make a breakthrough, and now the number of "black body" infected people is growing at such a terrible rate, and there will not be much time left for human beings, once the number of infected people reaches an overwhelming degree, or for prehistoric civilization, it has reached a level suitable for a complete war, then, war is inevitable.

Once a full-scale war starts, there is only one outcome, and the rout of humanity is almost foreseeable with the naked eye. In the previous report of the "Black Body" Countermeasures Bureau on the worst-case scenario, once the situation is so bad that it cannot be contained and controlled, it will only take half a year at most, starting from the struggle between two species for dominance of the planet to the final defeat of the human side.

In the entire building system, the population is nearly 8 billion, except for the infected, there are still the majority of normal citizens, from the perspective of equality of life, the government should treat all the citizens of the building equally, and in reality, such a huge number of people cannot be transferred away, whether it is from the means of transportation, or from the point of view of time and organization, it is impossible to achieve.

Hua Chengyu turned around and looked out of the conference room window, everyone looked at his back, a strong back who was physically and mentally exhausted but still firm.

"Okay, I'll let them try that."

"Others?" He asked again.

No one answered the last sentence Hua Chengyu asked. In the successive meetings over the past few years, the senior leaders have thought of almost all the problems they can think of, and the proposed solutions have been tried one after another, but the effect on the overall incident has been minimal. The "Tracing the Stream" operation, which had been given great hopes, has not been heard, the government has not been able to get in touch with the Tracing Force, and the whereabouts of a whole detachment of 1,000 people have not yet been known, and the government has almost put them on the list of the dead, and the so-called last trump card of mankind has been in vain after gambling at such a cost. In fact, there was a deep sense of powerlessness in the hearts of the officials who knew the situation, mixed with a little despair.

There was a sharp knock on the guard's door. "Emergency." He gasped heavily.

He pushed the door open. "It has been reported that a large number of unidentified armed forces have appeared on the ruins continent, gathering on the entire continental plain."

Everyone present stood up. "Arranged?"

The guards transmitted the surveillance footage of the "Black Body" Countermeasures Bureau on the F floor of the ruins to the central controller. The projection was presented above a group of high-ranking officials. These are dozens of images and analysis of the situation that the Bureau of Countermeasures had monitored on the ruins continent a few minutes ago.

Due to the dimness of the light, the image is not very clear, but you can still see what is presented in the image.

In the field of vision above the continent, looking downward, on the vast plain, neatly aligned figures stand on the desolate land, spreading to the very edge of the image, with no end in sight. As you can see from the image, the figure is holding a black object in its hand, which is further magnified in the next few images.

These are firearms, and although the models shown in the different pictures are different, it is certain that these are weapons and firearms that are heavily equipped in the active army of the coalition government.

In the pictures that followed, the distance was further reduced, and the officials in the conference room began to be horrified to find that the armament they had received was not just the guns they were holding, and when they were observed at great proximity, the figures were in the same state as the fully armed state of the Coalition government soldiers when they were fighting.

At the end, the information found by the countermeasures bureau was summarized one by one.

The armed ones are all the infected people on the ruins continent, and this is the result of several confirmations carried out by the countermeasures bureau after the end of the first monitoring, that is, the number of infected people who are now on the ruins continent is as high as one billion, and although there are no large-scale armed weapons in other areas, it cannot be ruled out that prehistoric civilizations camouflaged and hid them. According to conservative estimates, the best-case scenario is that nearly a billion militants appear on the ruins continent, and these militants are on the opposite side of mankind.
