…
The next day, early in the morning, Ye Chen received a notification from the higher-ups. All the generals and commanders were summoned to the high-level meeting room. Ye Chen's eyes flashed. He quickly washed up, put on his robe, and walked to the meeting room.
"Today is the last day of the month. Next week will be April of the Dark Calendar. The Atlantis civilization should also appear."
Ye Chen's eyes glowed as he walked. "God's Blood, this was the world's number one treasure in my previous life. I wonder what effect it has!"
…
The high-level meeting room was located outside the general's camp, in the commander-in-chief's manor.
Many high-level personnel from various departments came here one after another. This meeting room was extremely spacious. There were seats all below, and the surroundings were brightly lit.
After Ye Chen arrived, he saw that many people were already seated. He looked around and found an empty seat to sit down and wait quietly.
Many people were shocked when they saw Ye Chen. They quickly moved aside, afraid that they would block the path of this fiend.
"Big Brother Ye!"
Zhuge Fan, White Dragon, Yue Heng, and the others walked over and greeted him with a smile. Then, they went to the empty seat next to him and started chatting.
"You were too fierce yesterday. You actually killed Yun So-kyung." Yue Heng sighed.
White Dragon and the others agreed.
Ye Chen said indifferently, "How has your strength increased recently?"
White Dragon quickly said, "I'm already level 30."
"I'm also level 30." Yue Heng said.
"I'm level 28." Zhuge Fan was a little helpless.
Mo Feng said indifferently, "32."
Ye Chen nodded. After coming out from the Runic Ruins, they had all reached around level 25. In the past half a month, they could increase their strength by four or five levels. It was quite fast and comparable to an evolver.
"The commander-in-chief is here!" someone shouted from the side.
Everyone quieted down and turned to look. At the door of the conference room, Murong Duc was wearing an animal skin coat. His expression was serious as he slowly walked in, followed by two bodyguards.
Murong Duc came to the stage in front of the crowd. His gaze swept across the crowd, and everyone quieted down, feeling as if something big was about to happen.
"Today, I've gathered everyone here for a very important matter!"
Murong Duc's expression was solemn as he said, "After some investigation, if the situation is true, humans may enter a new era and have the capital to fight against monsters!"
Everyone was astonished.
The Murong Duc said seriously, "Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, most of the people here must have experienced the pain of losing their loved ones. Moreover, with all the creatures in the world mutating and evolving, we humans may disappear from the earth as predicted in the prophecy, completely extinct!"
"This is not just the history of one person's struggle!"
"This is the struggle of a race, a civilization!"
Murong Duc's eyes had a trace of sadness, "My wife became a zombie due to the outbreak of the virus, and I became a mutated evolver. I ended her life with my own hands. When my hands were stained with her blood, I wished so much that I could become a zombie myself. Maybe then I wouldn't have to worry about survival, maybe I wouldn't have to worry about food and drink, maybe I wouldn't be in so much pain!"
"I often ask myself, why am I alive?"
Everyone listened quietly.
Murong Duc's eyes had a trace of determination, "Since my wife died, I have lost the purpose of living. Every night at dinner, I don't see her familiar figure. I don't know what else can give me the courage to live!"
"I think everyone hates these monsters as much as I do. Otherwise, at this moment, everyone would still be sitting in the office or at home, talking on the phone with their loved ones, laughing and chatting with their relatives at the dinner table."
Murong Duc's eyes were filled with anger, "But now, we can only hold our weapons and walk on the edge of life and death. Everything is destroyed because of these monsters!"
"So —"
Murong Duc's eyes swept across the room, "If you want to live, there is only one way, and that is to kill all the monsters!"
Everyone was silent.
Ye Chen's expression was calm. He looked at Murong De with admiration in his eyes. At a time like this when a race was on the brink of extinction, it was necessary to have such a person take the lead. Only then could a civilization and a race continue to exist.
It was no wonder that China Base City had become the top base city in the world in his previous life. This was not only because of personal strength, but also because of the charisma of the leader!
If even the leader only cared about food and clothing, then the base city would not be far from extinction.
At this time, Murong Duc said in a deep voice, "This time, an exploration team from the detective department found a Dimensional Rift in Shanghai. In the Dimensional Rift, there is an extremely advanced city made of steel. According to the experts from the research department, it is very likely to be the ruins of the Atlantis civilization that has long disappeared from the world!"
Everyone was shocked.
Atlantis?
According to legend, the people of Atlantis were colonists from the Orion constellation. They were born with the power of light, and their technology was extremely advanced. For example, mermaids, unicorns, and so on were all products of this civilization.
However, in 12000 BC, under the nuclear war and flood, the continent was submerged, leading to the extinction of this civilization.
Murong Duc said sternly, "According to the photos and information provided by a surviving member of the detective team, there are still mechanical beasts in these ruins. They are very well-preserved, and after so long, the things inside have not rusted or rotted. If we can get the blueprints or energy crystals to build these mechanical beasts, then there is hope for the revival of mankind!"
"And —"
Murong Duc's eyes flashed with passion, "If it is suitable for people to live in, we can even move the base city in. In that case, with the steel city inside, even if it is attacked by monsters, it will be enough to destroy it!"
Everyone was stunned, and some of them were tempted.
Ruins of prehistoric civilizations like this had long disappeared in the long river of history. They might be able to find some treasures inside. If they could get their hands on the blueprints of mechanical beasts, they could mass-produce mechanical beasts. Then, mankind would be able to gain a foothold on Earth!
Ye Chen's expression was calm, and he thought to himself, "The Atlantis civilization is not as simple as you think. The technology inside is much more advanced than the modern China civilization."
The Atlantis civilization was located in Atlantis, and its capital was Poseidonia (Poseidon City). In the past, the life of the Atlantis civilization was extremely luxurious. Due to the advanced technology, there was no need for labor to earn a living. Everything was automated, and the people enjoyed the convenience.
Some historians made bold guesses, saying that because they enjoyed too much, they left the spirit and went against God.
Most people were very handsome, and their clothes were adorned with jewelry. People danced, gathered, and took hallucinogenic drugs.
The people of Atlantis used up to 90% of their brains, and they could easily communicate with animals. Not only did they create robots, but they also used genetic engineering to create half-human, half-beast "Camelas", such as the mermaids.
The entire city was managed by machines, and people did not need to study. Knowledge could be absorbed from special devices, and the intelligence of a 15 or 16 year old child would surpass the current advanced scholars.
Unicorns were also genetically modified by them.
In the prehistoric civilization of Atlantis, the most eye-catching scientific achievement was the energy system.
It could convert light into energy.
The people of Atlantis were not the only civilization that developed light into energy. At the same time, they could also regenerate the human body and rejuvenate it. All of this caused the people of Atlantis to live carefreely and happily in that paradise.
However, this prehistoric civilization suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea in 16,000 BC.
The "Garden of Eden" described in the Bible's Book of Genesis was referring to Atlantis.
"This time, I have appointed five commanders, and each of them will lead an army to the entrance of the ruins!"
Murong Duc looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "According to the report from the Detective Department, there are many powerful monsters at the entrance of the ruins. Therefore, this time, we are allowed to bring nuclear weapons. We have to seize the ruins at all costs!"
Nuclear weapons?
Everyone was shocked. How powerful were the monsters that they encountered? Why did they have to bring nuclear weapons?
Ye Chen glanced at Murong Duc and sighed in his heart. The older, the wiser. There must be some information that had not been announced. Otherwise, he would not have sent an army to bombard the ruins with nuclear weapons just based on the evidence from the Detective Department!
"This time, the five commanders are Qin Lan, Hua Buluo, Tang Zhu …" Murong Duc reported the names of six people, and Ye Chen was not among them. Then, he said in a deep voice, "At that time, the people among the generals who are ordered to be sent out must obey the orders of their superiors unconditionally!"
Everyone was helpless.
"These are the people who are going to the ruins to participate in the battle. Send out the name list."
Murong Duc handed the file in his hand to a man next to him. The man looked indifferent as he distributed the file.
Ye Chen took the file and glanced at it. He saw that his name was assigned to the team led by Tang Zhu.
He smiled slightly and did not pay too much attention to it.
It was not strange that he was not assigned to a commander. First, he was only a major general.
In the base city, as long as one's physical fitness met the requirements and had a certain level of command and combat skills, one could be promoted to a general. If there was a promotion, one could be promoted without combat skills.
The five people who were assigned this time were all commanders!
Second, after the battle with Yun So-kyung, although he had shown great strength, he was still a reckless man in the eyes of others. Naturally, he would not be appointed as a commander in such a large-scale battle.
All this was exactly what Ye Chen wanted. As soon as the ruins were opened, he would look for the God's Blood. If he became a commander, it would be inconvenient for him to act.
"Rest and reorganize the army today. We will set off tomorrow!" Murong Duc said in a deep voice. Then, he turned and left.
This time, he was the one who spoke in the meeting. He had come in person because he attached great importance to this mission. He had shared his experiences. Most of the people present had these experiences, and it could evoke some feelings of friendship between them and their clans!
Then, he would use the reward policy to encourage them to attack. From an emotional point of view, they could represent their clans.
From the point of view of benefits, they could receive many rewards if they succeeded in attacking the ruins.
Otherwise, he could have asked one of his subordinates to give the order directly. He could also have asked his assistant to do the talking. He would not have lowered himself by speaking in person. Only a real leader knew how to improve the relationship between his superiors and his subordinates, instead of only caring about his own authority.
