"The Demiplane, the evacuation plan, and the end of the world are all top secret. All known personnel must be kept under control. No information is allowed to leak, not even the slightest bit, because this could lead to disastrous consequences. Because we can't save the majority, no one wants to be abandoned. Telling them about the end of the world in advance will only lead to the most terrible consequences, so … it must be kept secret. The codename for this operation is Eden … I hope we can survive this crisis. I hope the Demiplane is a paradise for us humans to take refuge in."
This was Chu Hao's suggestion, and it was unanimously approved by all the participating countries. The discussion of the formation of the government was left to these countries to wrangle over. Chu Hao finally had a short break. After a simple five-hour sleep, he ate some food and took a bath. He immediately headed for the Demiplane Base. The island was an island that the Renegades Organization had negotiated with the various countries in the Pacific Ocean when they were fighting against the C Organization. The island itself wasn't big, but it had a deep-water port. The Renegades Organization had built an airport and a port on the island, followed by the underground structures of the island. The base itself couldn't be built on the surface, so although the island wasn't big, the airport and port weren't small. When Chu Hao arrived on the island, he saw engineers expanding the port and airport. During the construction process, large transport planes and large ships constantly arrived.
The location of the Demiplane Portal was at the center of the island, which was the top of the base. It was guarded by the Samsara 9th Division and General Zhang Zhen's troops. Of course, at least for now, the safety of this Portal wasn't a big problem. After all, those who knew about the situation during the construction and could come here were definitely the true core members of the various countries, or people who were completely confident. There couldn't be any dangerous people among them. Of course, as a precaution, it was appropriate for the Samsara army to guard it.
After discussing a few things to take note of with General Zhang Zhen and his adjutant, Chu Hao turned around and went to the Portal. This Portal … was actually a cheap one!
A real Portal was a double A-rank item that could be exchanged for, and it was divided into several grades. The better the Portal, the more people and materials it could transport at one time. At the same time, it could connect to more planes and the further the distance. The Portal that Chu Hao exchanged for was a one-time use item. Of course, it didn't mean that it could only be used once. After it was used, it would be fixed. Its location and connection to the planes could not be changed. Whether it was this world or the planes it connected to, if any Portal was destroyed, the entire Portal would lose its function. At the same time, the entire Portal could only be used for a short 50 days.
If possible, Chu Hao naturally intended to exchange for a better teleportation portal. However, it was a pity that he did not have that many reward points and side plots. Hence, he could only exchange for a one-time teleportation portal. As for the teleportation portals that he would need in the future … he would consider it then.
Chu Hao checked the Portal. After confirming that there were no problems, he entered the Demiplane. He also had his own things to do. Inspecting the situation of the various construction sites was more direct than reporting. It was also his responsibility …
Just like that, Chu Hao was busy, Zhang Heng was busy, Chen Haotao was busy, Wei Shishi was busy, and the relevant people who already knew the situation and participated in the construction of the Demiplane were busy. By the way, more than five million people participated, including construction personnel, design personnel, scientific and technological personnel, government personnel, as well as military personnel in charge of material transportation. At the same time, some rich people from small and poor countries were also busy. They vaguely felt that something was wrong, so they were busy searching for answers and the truth …
Time slowly passed in this process, day after day. It had been five days since Chu Hao returned to the real world, and the second batch of warehouse construction was about to be completed. At this point, the various countries roughly understood each other's abilities and strength. Seeing that one-sixth of the deadline had passed, the fear of the apocalypse and the pressure of survival could only be temporarily put aside. Finally, on the fifth day, the Big Five, no, the five permanent members, finally made a decision to cooperate. The construction of the first joint headquarters storage center was started. This building gathered the strongest construction teams of almost all the major countries in the world, as well as the most reasonable building models provided by a large number of researchers, as well as the rapid construction models and the most efficient building materials. In short, all of these were gathered together to build the comprehensive storage headquarters, occupying nearly one-fifth of the land of 30,000 square kilometers. It was more than sixty meters tall, and the depth of digging was more than forty meters. Although there were still disputes over twenty meters, ten meters, and five meters, after giving in to each other, it was finally decided that it would be eight meters thick. In other words, there would be a total of five floors underground and twelve floors above ground. Using the intelligent control system, intelligent storage system, and so on, the estimated time to complete the construction was twenty days. The materials that could be stored had already met the minimum consumption of each country, enough to store at least 500 million tons of total materials. Coupled with the other warehouses that had already been built, they had basically reached the minimum storage limit.
In addition to food, there were also all kinds of necessities that needed to be stored. This was because in the foreseeable future, these materials could not be produced in the Demiplane, so it was not wrong to store more.
And the storage of warehouses had come to an end for the time being. There were still many things that needed to be done, such as water purification plants, air circulation plants, energy systems, even the simplest shelters, the most basic maintenance of order after accommodating people, and so on …
And just as Chu Hao was so busy that he wanted to vomit blood, on the fifth day of his return to reality, some people in several countries all over the world dreamed of something …
Fangzheng woke up from something. He was in a daze for at least half a minute on the bed before he came back to his senses. He had just been dreaming. What a terrifying dream …
Dreams were absurd to begin with. This was common knowledge that everyone knew. There were all kinds of strange things in dreams, and they could not be controlled by the human mind. Even if there was a so-called lucid dream, the environment in the dream, the characters, and so on were randomly generated. Fangzheng subconsciously felt that he had a nightmare, but … this nightmare was too real.
This dream lasted for a very long time. At the beginning of the dream, it was a normal life. He woke up, washed up, went to work at the television station, or went out for an interview. It was a very normal dream, but in the middle of the dream, the dream began to change. Very terrifying things happened in the dream. It was absurd, inexplicable, and unbelievable. The whole world in the dream became like this. He and many people he knew fell into such a world, and then died tragically one by one, or became a situation or thing worse than death …
At the end of the dream, he also died of starvation. Because the world had fallen into this horror, the entire world had turned into a scene of doomsday. He seemed to be hiding with a little girl from those absurd things, but humans would always be hungry and thirsty. In the world that had turned into ruins, the two of them eventually starved to death.
In a daze, Fangzheng still remembered the terrifying feeling at the end of the dream. The feeling of being starved to death. Perhaps the most tragic way to die was in such a way. Starving to death …
When he recalled this, Fangzheng no longer felt sleepy. He switched on the table lamp and sat up. After putting on his clothes, he went to the kitchen to make some food. He casually made some bread and other things. Then, he began to read some news on the computer. As a reporter, he was very sensitive to such news. As he read, he suddenly found something strange in a post on Tieba.
This post was written by a person who claimed to be from Tianjin Harbor. He said that he had a friend who came to his place to have fun. Yesterday, he was pestered by his friend to the point that he agreed to go fishing at night in some places off the coast. Then, he swore that he saw a fleet. It wasn't just one or two ships, but dozens of battleships. He even seemed to have seen an aircraft carrier. Although it was very far away, he swore that he didn't see wrongly. Therefore, he predicted that Country Z was about to reclaim the Diaoyu Islands and that World War III was about to begin.
When he saw this, Fangzheng only laughed it off. After all, as a reporter, and a very professional one at that, he naturally had his own sources of information. Furthermore, he knew from common sense that this was impossible. Firstly, there weren't any major conflicts between Country Z and Japan. Secondly, from the perspective of modern warfare, as well as Country Z's current international status, it was almost impossible for them to launch a sneak attack. Even if they were to go to war because of the Diaoyu Islands, the country would have already started propaganda internationally before the war. How could they start a war without any propaganda? It was impossible.
However …
Fangzheng acutely sensed that there might be some big news behind this. Although he didn't know what this news meant, or if there were some red lines that couldn't be crossed, this was one of the unspoken rules in the reporter circle. Some things could be reported, but some things could never be reported. This had nothing to do with professional ethics, but was related to national interests.
Inexplicably, his previous dream flashed across Fangzheng's mind. In that dream, when the entire world changed from a normal daily life to an absurd dream, the world in the dream became as abnormal as a dream. This saying was very strange, but in the dream, there was a place that still appeared normal. It was an island, an island in the Pacific Ocean. Fangzheng vaguely remembered the exact location in the dream …
Immediately, Fangzheng opened the World Map webpage. Then, he carefully searched for the location of the island he knew in his dream. He used some World Map software, including paid real-time updates. Unfortunately, the location of the island he knew was an ocean on the World Map. There was no island there at all.
"… Something's wrong."
Fangzheng also knew that something was wrong with him. He was actually competing with a dream, but his sharp intuition told him that this was very important. It was really important, even more important than his life. If he didn't do so now, what awaited him might be worse than death …
For some reason, Fangzheng made a phone call. It was now past three in the morning. After calling for a long time, no one picked up. However, Fangzheng didn't give up. After calling this phone number seven or eight times, someone finally picked up the phone. A man's roar came from the other end.
"Fangzheng! Kid, do you know what time it is!? If you don't have anything important to say, I'll beat you up ten times tomorrow! "
"I don't know. Fugui, if it's possible, can you come to my house now?" Fangzheng was silent for a moment before he said after some deliberation.
The man named Fugui cursed a few times and said impatiently that he was sleeping with a beauty. He told Fangzheng to say whatever he wanted. Fangzheng was helpless. This was his best friend since he was young, and he was also a standard rich second-generation heir. If he wanted to go to the location of the island to investigate, he needed this person's help. Therefore, in the end, he could only say that it was a matter of life and death. Fugui was silent for a while. Finally, he said that he would come to his house in half an hour and then hung up the phone.
Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. His intuition told him that he had done the right thing. Since he was young, he realized that his intuition was much stronger than others. After he became a reporter, he relied on this intuition to make a meteoric rise. Now … He hoped that his intuition didn't lie to him …
A preposterous dream, coupled with his intuition …
He hoped that this time, he was really overthinking and that his intuition was wrong.
