[Continued from the previous article: Before the Antarctic Impact was about to be triggered, Zhuo Zhiwen rushed back to the Antarctic base to assist Guan Dehou and others in evacuating the trapped people in the base. However, things did not go so smoothly. A series of mysterious events that could not be explained by science made things difficult for them.
Zhuo Zhiwen deeply felt the powerlessness of human beings in the face of absolute power. However, the fate of human beings did not come to an end. The differences between the forerunners gave humanity a glimmer of hope. After Guan Dehou transformed into a law angel and caused a lot of killings, Zhang Fengyu also
Completed the transformation from human to "god", and decided to prevent the final disaster. However... when the infinite light dispelled the last touch of darkness in the world, the real world was not sublimated and redeemed...]
There is no essential difference between infinite light and infinite darkness.
After Zhang Fengyu's incarnation of the Punished Angel spread light all over the world in the name of zadkie1, the Angel of Law who was exposed in his prototype state not only did not retreat, but also gained a new round of evolution.
All of this is contrary to science and is just like scenes from myths and legends that have been materialized in reality.
After evolving into the Yuanyinlu Angel, Guan Dehou lost the last of his humanity. At this moment, his body continued to expand until it penetrated the entire Antarctic underground base. Then, standing upright like a mountain, it had been liberated into the form of a "god"
.
Those who failed to escape from the underground base lost their human form without even screaming, turning into something completely white and like tadpoles in a pond, surrounding the Yuanyinlu Angel.
They wander in the illusory ocean and attract "whales".
No one can explain the sights they see... let alone understand the meaning behind these sights... at least now...
"Whales" with heart-piercing cries wandered among the snow-covered mountains. They followed the Yuan Yinlu Angels who fled away, leaving behind them the underground base in ruins.
…
"Is it over?" Nashapova asked Tong Bo.
Tong Bo shook his head: "This is just the beginning..."
Nashapova was startled, then sneered: "Huh? Is there anything more exciting?"
Tong Bo didn't answer. It was a miracle that he survived...but at this moment, he would rather have died...so that he wouldn't have to relive the desolate past.
…
After the Yuanyinlu Angel appeared, the senior officials of the National Security Department were shocked. This had exceeded the level of disaster they expected.
Compared with the previous battles with "invaders" like Li Shaoan, the Yuanyinlu Angel in front of him, who was heading towards the center of Antarctica at a speed of 0.03 kilometers per hour, was even more frightening.
But at present, humans know very little about these things.
Just like the team's research over the years...it is clearly there, but humans are like ants encountering mobile phones on the shelf in front of them. They can never really figure out what that thing is...because of this book
It's not on the same level.
This metaphor sounds a bit harsh, and no one is willing to accept it.
But the truth is so cruel.
It even reminds me of that sentence...
"What does it have to do with you if I destroy you?"
…
"In short, no one can take it lightly until the whereabouts of Forerunner 1 are found."
"yes!"
"out."
Five days later, hundreds of thousands of rescue workers from various countries had gathered around the Antarctic underground base.
Most of them are soldiers, and only a few are professional international rescuers, but there is nothing that can be done about it... After all, given the current situation, the National Security Department must block information until the incident is completely resolved.
In this way, several months passed in the process of clearing the ruins, searching for survivors, and alerting Yuanyinlu Angel.
When the time came to the end of 2030, reports of the "white" giant on Antarctica still appeared on the headlines of major media.
The AOA that exposed this was officially labeled as an extremist terrorist organization by the National Security Agency.
These guys are really pervasive... Even after all major media outlets have been interviewed by senior officials of the corresponding government agencies, they still have their own ways to expose the "truth."
For a time, the world's attention was focused on Antarctica.
In this regard, the National Security Department did not lose its position.
The initial plan they formulated included remedial measures for possible information leaks.
Rather than covering it up in a vague way, the National Security Department simply followed the trend created by AOA this time and made an in-depth self-exposure of records and files related to various unscientific incidents that occurred in Antarctica.
And asked the whole world for "help", hoping that all people would participate in this "revealing" activity.
Such a reaction is indeed a bit surprising, but what is even more surprising is that the nascent disaster speculation has lost its vitality due to the National Security Department's calmness and active "asking for help". Most people have begun to think that all this is still possible.
It is within the scope of control, otherwise how could the National Security Department appear so "relaxed"?
Indeed, "easy" is an appearance.
But so what, calmly accepting one's actual weakness is also a kind of growth, isn't it?
…
By mid-January 2031, the cleanup work was basically completed.
Various detailed data as of the end of the summary are reported in the National Security Department's internal investigation summary.
The data is very concise.
[The following data includes the worldwide cleanup operations, the number of victims of the retrieval of the Weiyuan and the number of victims of the Antarctic underground base incident.]
19,731 people died, 9,277 people were missing, and 37,221 people were injured [including 5209 people seriously injured and disabled]
The direct losses amounted to 1.9 trillion U.S. dollars [of which the losses to underground bases and ground auxiliary bases alone reached 1.3 trillion U.S. dollars, and the losses caused by the damage to the Weiyuan and the fleet were also close to 400 billion U.S. dollars.]
The above figures are a fatal blow to the National Security Department.
Although the Department of National Security is still responsible for the follow-up and remediation work, fifteen countries including China, the United States, and Russia, as major member states, have stated that they will no longer provide direct and convenient support to the Department of National Security.
And this will directly lead to the collapse of the structure of the National Security Department... The security divisions of each country have basically shrunk back to within the jurisdiction of their own countries, and the National Security Department has existed in name only since then.
…
February 18, 2o31.
The National Security Department's outpost observation point sent back a message and determined that the giant known as the "Metamorphic Angel" had stopped moving. It no longer moved toward the center of Antarctica, its body became stiff, and it gradually lost vitality.
At the same time, a refracted "Sea of Illusion" projection appeared above its head.
The "whales" following it no longer moved forward, but wandered in the nearby mountains.
After this news was conveyed to the public, all countries became highly nervous.
Because no one can be sure whether changes in this thing will bring about new disasters.
However, after waiting for about a week, nothing terrible happened.
Moreover, the drone dispatched by the National Security Department finally successfully approached the "Metamorphic Angel" and sampled its data at close range.
…
On the evening of February 19th.
A black SUV came downstairs from Xinli Jingcheng Company in Changchun, Jilin, China.
After the car parked downstairs, a man in a windbreaker got out of the car and hurriedly ran into the building. As a result, he accidentally fell at the door and almost broke the glass of the door.
The security guard in the building was dozing off in a daze and was startled when he heard the sound.
"Who? What?"
The man got up and cursed bitterly: "Damn, what a bad luck!"
Then he pushed open the door and entered.
The security guard took a closer look and was shocked: "Old... boss?"
"Qianha? Why do you look at me like I'm seeing a ghost?"
"No? It's not...you..."
The big black man who entered the room rubbed his butt, and then said: "Go, take the things out of the car and take them to my office."
With that said, the big man turned around and went upstairs.
The security guard still didn't believe his eyes... but there was no way such a big living person could fake it, so he had to obey the instructions.
The big man went upstairs, and when he came to the door of his office, he found that the security cordon at the door had not been removed, and it was covered with a layer of dust.
After tearing off the cordon, the big man opened the door. Everything in the room was covered with white cloth. The lamp in front of the window was still on the ground and no one picked it up.
Turning on the light, taking off his coat, the big man asked: "Do you think this place is great?"
"Okay, but the security guard just now..."
"It's okay, I'll take care of it."
"good."
…
"Ouch... what is this? Why is it so heavy?!" The security guard and the driver struggled to lift the box down.
The driver was a foreign girl. She helped the security guard move the boxes into the elevator and then left without saying a word.
The more the security guard thought about it, the stranger he became... His boss had been missing for several months, so why did he suddenly appear... and bring back a big box? Could it be possible...
Is this the treasure he was messing around with outside?
Just as I was thinking, I arrived at the seventh floor.
The security guard struggled to drag the box out.
It took a while to get to the boss's office.
At this time, the big man was cleaning up the house. After seeing the box, he said, "Old Zheng, is there anyone else in the company?"
Lao Zheng's full name is Zheng Jianyi. He is originally from Shandong and came to Changchun ten years ago.
"Uh, no, since you disappeared, I'm the only one left in the company."
The big man nodded and straightened the ID card on the table, which read his name "Chen Jin".
Lao Zheng: "Mr. Chen... where have you been... these days?"
Chen Jin wiped the table and said, "I haven't gone anywhere... I just have something I need to take care of."
This answer was too perfunctory, but Lao Zheng did not dare to ask any more questions. He nodded and said: "Then... now that you are back, will our company still need to recruit people?"
"We are hiring, we must be hiring, otherwise how can we do it if such a big building is empty? We will be hiring tomorrow."
Lao Zheng was happy when he heard this, and immediately rubbed his hands and said: "Mr. Chen, I have a nephew who has nothing to do recently. Do you think...can we let him come to work in our company?"
Chen Jin was a little surprised, but did not refuse: "Okay, what is his major?"
Lao Zheng was stunned by the question. He really didn't know this: "Um? I forgot to ask. I'll call him right away."
When Chen Jin saw this, he said: "Forget it, just let him come directly. Anyway, there are not many people in the company recently."
Lao Zheng immediately felt grateful: "Hey! Thank you, Mr. Chen! Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
