Chapter 10: The Giant Underground City! The Nation's Trump Card!
The capital city, 300 meters underground.
The enormous elevator slowly descended, and the numbers on the wall kept changing.
Su Chen stood in the elevator, looking at the numbers, silently calculating the depth in his mind.
Qin Bing stood beside him, holding a tablet computer in her hand.
"We'll be there soon."
The moment the elevator stopped and the doors opened, Su Chen froze.
Before us lies an underground space of unimaginable size.
It is at least fifty meters high and its width is estimated to be over one kilometer.
Countless lights illuminated the entire space, making it as bright as day.
The buildings, constructed of reinforced concrete, are arranged in neat rows, with roads crisscrossing the area.
Further away, you can see farmland, reservoirs, and even small factories.
"This is?"
"Project Pangu!" Qin Bing's voice carried a hint of pride.
"One of China's top-secret projects, construction began ten years ago."
"It was originally estimated that it would take another five years to complete, but after you provided the information, Elder Long directly ordered that all efforts be made to speed up the construction."
"Currently, there are 37 such underground cities across the country, which can accommodate 500 million people."
Su Chen stepped out of the elevator and onto the solid ground.
The air was fresh, with absolutely no dampness like underground.
"Ventilation system?"
"The most advanced circulation system can operate continuously for ten years." Qin Bing pulled up the data on the tablet:
"In addition, there are geothermal power plants, nuclear fusion reactors, and spirit stone energy stations that we preemptively set up after you provided the intelligence."
"Where's the food?" Su Chen asked.
"Each underground city has a large hydroponic farm and breeding farm, which can achieve self-sufficiency."
Su Chen nodded and continued walking forward.
On the streets, many staff members are already busy.
Some were debugging equipment, some were moving supplies, and others were conducting final checks.
Everyone wore a tense and serious expression.
"Do these people all know about the apocalypse?"
"The core personnel know," Qin Bing shook her head slightly, adding, "The others were only told that it was a large-scale disaster prevention drill."
"clever!"
The two entered a building marked "Command Center".
The elevator descended again, this time only going down two floors.
The door opened, revealing a huge operations command center.
Dozens of screens are mounted on the wall, displaying real-time footage from all over the country.
A dozen or so staff officers in military uniforms were busy at work, the sound of keyboards clicking incessantly.
"Advisor Su has arrived."
A voice came from the head of the table.
Old Master Long sat there with a cup of tea in front of him.
Although he had been working for three days and three nights in a row, he was still in good spirits.
"Elder Long." Su Chen walked over.
"Sit down." Old Long gestured to the chair beside him. "Look at what we've accomplished these past few days."
He pressed the remote control, and one of the screens switched views.
It was a huge radar station.
"The psionic detection radar was developed based on the energy fluctuation characteristics of the alien beasts you provided," Elder Long smiled slightly and explained. "It can detect the location of spatial rifts thirty seconds in advance."
"Is thirty seconds enough?" Su Chen asked back.
"That's enough!" Old Long smiled. "Enough for our missiles to lock onto the target."
The scene changes again.
This time it's a military base, and hundreds of soldiers are lined up.
The equipment they were wearing caught Su Chen's eye.
It was a set of tactical armor that was entirely black, with intricate patterns engraved on its surface.
"Runic armor." Elder Long's tone was filled with satisfaction. "Using the spirit ore you provided to forge it, combined with our nanotechnology, it can withstand attacks from third-tier alien beasts."
"Five thousand sets have been produced so far, and all have been distributed to the Dragon Tooth Special Forces."
Looking at the soldiers on the screen, Su Chen felt a mix of emotions welling up inside him.
In their past lives, humans could only rely on their flesh and blood to withstand the attacks of strange beasts.
Countless people died under the claws of those monsters.
In this life, before the end of the world even arrives, the nation is already armed to the teeth.
"And this too."
Old Master Long switched to another screen.
It was a huge laboratory, and inside a transparent glass enclosure, there was a strange beast covered in spikes.
It pounded on the glass frantically, emitting a piercing roar.
But the glass remained completely still.
"This is the first alien beast we captured, based on your intelligence, after we deployed our forces in advance at a location where a crack was about to appear."
"Although it's only at the first stage, it has already kept our biologists so excited that they haven't slept for days."
Su Chen looked at the strange beast, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Was it dissected?"
"We've dissected it." Old Long nodded, his expression somewhat grave. "We've discovered many interesting things."
"Their muscle fibers are ten times stronger than humans', their bone density is five times that of humans, and they possess an energy that we have never seen before."
"It's spiritual energy!" Su Chen's expression shifted.
"Yes, the spiritual energy you mentioned." Elder Long looked at him and said with a smile, "Our scientists are researching how to extract and utilize this energy."
"In addition, based on the locations of those 'spiritual plants' you provided, we also carried out protective retrieval."
The scene shifts again, this time to a huge greenhouse.
It was filled with all sorts of strange plants.
Some leaves glowed faintly, some emitted a rich fragrance, and some had golden liquid flowing from their leaves.
"Each of these plants is priceless."
Elder Long sighed, "If it weren't for your intelligence, they would either have been stolen by those reborn individuals or destroyed in the apocalypse."
"Now, they are all strategic resources of the country."
Su Chen looked at the plants on the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips.
In the live chat, those who had been reborn were still wailing.
My thousand-year-old blood ginseng is gone!
My Seven Star Grass has also been taken by the national team!
What the hell is going on? How do they know everything?
[Holy crap! There's definitely a mole! There's absolutely a mole!]
Looking at these comments, Su Chen felt happy.
"By the way, any news from Xiao Fan?"
"Yes." Qin Bing pulled up a report:
"According to our surveillance, he has been frequently contacting resurrected individuals in various locations recently, seemingly forming an alliance."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen smiled and said, "He said in the comments that the apocalypse is their rebirth, and when order collapses, it will be the beginning of their revenge."
"Revenge?" Old Master Long sneered. "Does he think the end of the world will throw the country into chaos?"
"Innocent!"
He stood up and walked to the huge screen.
"Xiao Su, do you know how much preparation we've done these past few days?"
"All major cities across the country have completed their population evacuation plans."
"All military units have entered a state of first-level combat readiness."
"All supplies have been stockpiled in advance."
"We even rehearsed the evacuation routes for each community three times."
Old Master Long turned around, his eyes sharp as knives.
"Those reborn people think that the end of the world has come, and they can take advantage of the chaos to become kings."
"But what they don't realize is that when a country is operating at full capacity, the power of an individual is simply insignificant."
Su Chen looked at Elder Long and felt a surge of respect.
This is the power of a nation!
That's why he chose to stand on the side of the country.
"How long until the end of the world?" Elder Long asked.
"Three days!" Su Chen glanced at his watch. "To be precise, it's seventy-two hours."
"Alright!" Elder Long took a deep breath:
"Let's see just how terrible this so-called apocalypse really is."
He pressed the red button on the table.
The lights in the entire command center instantly turned red.
A piercing alarm sounded.
"Attention all units!"
Elder Long's voice was broadcast throughout the entire underground city.
"Doomsday countdown: 72 hours!"
"All personnel, enter maximum combat readiness!"
"Repeat! All personnel, enter maximum combat readiness!!!"
The entire underground city instantly erupted in excitement.
Countless people began to run, each taking their place.
Su Chen stood in the command room, watching the busy figures on the big screen.
He recalled the chaos and despair of his past life when the apocalypse struck.
At that time, no one knew what would happen.
Nobody was prepared.
Everyone died in the chaos.
But in this life, everything is different!
"Qin Bing".
"exist."
"Notify the troops over there in the Kunlun Mountains to prepare."
"Xiao Fan will definitely go there."
"yes!"
Su Chen walked to the window and looked at the huge underground city outside.
What will the world be like in three days?
he does not know.
But he knew that this time, humanity would not be as helpless as it had been in the past.
Xiao Fan's comment reappeared in the live chat.
Brothers, just three more days! After three days, the world will be ours!
"When the time comes, I'll make all those who arrested us kneel down and beg for mercy!"
[The Yan Emperor has returned; he will surely reign supreme over the world!]
Su Chen looked at these arrogant comments and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"I really look forward to seeing their expressions when they see the apocalyptic scene."
Qin Bing walked to his side and handed him a cup of coffee:
"Advisor Su, everything is ready."
"Mmm." Su Chen took the coffee and took a small sip.
"Then let's wait and see!"
