Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 880 - 366: The Storm Arrives! (2)

He walked two steps, and ordered in a low voice,

"Help me bring Wen Hui over."

"Yes." A guard hidden in the shadows quietly stepped out and quickly left the office.

He seemed to have stood there for a long time, yet no one noticed his presence.

Chu Zhaonan looked out the window. Beneath the giant Underground City, the orbital transportation device was transporting large equipment, covering the lights of one district after another.

Click, click.

Soon, Wen Hui’s figure appeared at the door: "Chairman Chu, you were looking for me?"

"Wen Hui."

Chu Zhaonan turned his head: "Tell Julius that I’m ready to initiate the Vanguard Plan immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Hui’s pupils dilated, her face turned pale for a moment. After pondering for two seconds, she then said,

"Okay, we are very supportive of this."

After speaking, she turned and left.

Xu Yan watched Wen Hui’s departing back, and said gravely,

"Has it come to this already? The timing is much faster than we anticipated."

"Time has never been on our side!" Chu Zhaonan said sternly: "A year, a month, a week..."

The reflection of Chu Zhaonan’s heavy expression showed on the office’s floor-to-ceiling window: "Lao Xu, do you remember the time when I was elected as Federation Chairman?"

Xu Yan was slightly silent.

"643 days, I should be the leader in human history who has borne the most losses, 11.6 billion people dead, 85% of main cities lost. In my view now, there is no concept of population, no concept of resources, no existence of right or wrong, justice or morality. I am not concerned with others’ evaluations of me, be it infamy or disdain, this seed of fire..."

Chu Zhaonan’s gaze slightly intensified: "Absolutely cannot be extinguished in my hands!"

...

Dawn Underground City, Earth Core Administrative Hall.

Bang!

An exquisite ceramic teacup smashed into powder on the ground, the high-levels of Dawn City, led by Zhou Mingyuan, had already exploded, watching Zhou Mingyuan’s outburst.

"How could such lowly rumors be allowed to spread in the main city’s network!!"

Zhou Mingyuan had never been so angry, his face was flushed, his breath huffed, even his eyebrows were raised.

"Don’t we have speech control? What are they doing?!"

"The other side transmitted via a high-power same-frequency flight information repeater, all residents can directly receive it. Our intranet had no response, investigation found the intranet system was infiltrated, likely done by an agent from Silent City." An official reported with a face full of cold sweat.

"Hurry up and find it out!"

Zhou Mingyuan shouted sternly, meanwhile, two secretaries were quickly arranging his formal attire as he issued a city-wide lockdown order, preparing to hold a press conference for clarification.

"The evidence content and speech draft for the rumor clarification are ready. Chairman Zhou, do you want to release the content to ferment first, then hold the conference?" a female official suggested.

Zhou Mingyuan waved his hand, shouting to the crowd.

"Wen Dong."

Wen Dong stepped out of the crowd, with a complex expression: "Chairman Zhou."

"You... you quickly notify them." He raised his hand pointing: "Jin Hai must ensure Silent City’s safety, bring the support teams over, this needs to be publicly communicated too!"

Wen Dong’s gaze flickered, understanding his meaning, he nodded: "I understand."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Having arranged Wen Dong, Zhou Mingyuan prepared to go to the press conference, when one of his subordinates leaned in to whisper something in his ear, halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

"What’s wrong, Chairman Zhou?"

Zhou Mingyuan’s eyes flickered, pondering something, then he waved his hand: "Cancel the press conference, record a video and release it directly."

Subsequently, with the assistant’s help, he recorded a stern statement video with pretentious wording. After finishing, Zhou Mingyuan dismissed everyone, leaving himself alone to pace by the clear pool.

"Mochizuki Masashi... why make such a move suddenly?"

With an angry look, Zhou Mingyuan did not expect Silent City, a small Floating City, would be the first to attack in such a despicable manner, catching him off guard.

Now in the apocalypse, Dawn City’s crowds are packed, voices of resentment everywhere, hundreds of thousands of people just want to survive, even if it means increasing work intensity and taxes, as long as lives aren’t threatened, the situation won’t be affected.

But the problem is, a mass kidnapping made all survivors detest Deep Red World. If it’s exposed that Dawn City has benefits tied with Deep Red World, it would be like a nuclear bomb exploding within the city, even with countless means, Zhou Mingyuan hadn’t expected the opposing side to lay their cards openly, even if fabricated, straight through the sky!

"Seems it’s really related to Phoenix Society."

Zhou Mingyuan also realized this, his expression changing unpredictably, just now his subordinate informed him of Chu Zhaonan’s actions, he immediately felt the seriousness of the situation.

"Chu Zhaonan must know something, he’s ready to go all out."

After speaking, Zhou Mingyuan’s gaze also turned serious, he then stepped towards a distant wall, reaching to press a hidden spot, after special fingerprint scanning, a metal door slowly opened, white cold mist gushed out from inside.

He walked in, inside were a dozen frozen chambers, these were carefully selected backup bodies he reserved.

"What’s the use of these, if we can’t escape, it’s still a death after all..."

...

Jin Hai

This city was once one of the busiest hubs on the Star Orbital and an important industrial belt for Dragon Country, but after Apocalypse Day, Jin Hai, Qingbo, Zen Gate, Heavenly Guard, several key cities surrounding Dawn City suffered devastating impacts during the first Extreme Night. The once prosperous places now lie like mechanical beasts gutted and sprawled across the land.
