Chapter 256: Chapter 254: Sudden Incident

Song Qian spoke politely and his calm face suddenly became a bit more solemn.

A warrior next to him stood up and turned off three of the lamps in the room, leaving only one on to ensure some lighting.

Another warrior stood up, turned on the projector, and plugged a military green USB drive into the computer under the desk.

As he manipulated the mouse, an image densely marked with various symbols, resembling an underground tunnel, appeared on the projector screen.

Jiang Yan slightly frowned: Is this the East Mountain Base underground tunnel blueprint that Song Qian had mentioned to her earlier?

But why show this?

She glanced sideways at Song Qian. “Song Qian? What is this?”

“Please wait,” Song Qian gave her a calming look, then quickly walked over to the conference table, cleared his throat, and announced,

“Ladies and gentlemen, due to unforeseen circumstances, the tunnel to East Mountain Yaoben Base will be completely sealed off in three hours.

We will all depart for East Mountain in fifteen minutes. To avoid unforeseen incidents along the way, I’ll quickly go over all the safety facilities in the tunnel, emergency escape routes, and temporary shelters.”

As he finished speaking, the crowd erupted into murmurs, Jiang Yan being the most shocked.

She was puzzled; why had Song Qian been so silent on the way here, only telling her about meeting Ye Qing and the others?

What unforeseen circumstances?

Ye Qing and Su Dai, sitting nearby, also glanced at her subconsciously.

It was evident they too were confused; confused about why Mo Jingsheng wanted to meet Jiang Yan and about the sudden trip to East Mountain Base.

Of course, they were meant to go to East Mountain in their original plans, but this information was too sudden.

Someone had already started to express their doubts.

It was a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses with a scholarly aura.

“Captain Song, can you briefly explain the unforeseen circumstances? We have all decided to take refuge at Yaoben Base, weren’t we supposed to go there a week later? Why are we leaving so soon, and what about our families left here?”

“I apologize, Dr. Zhang, it’s a matter of base confidentiality, and I cannot disclose it. However, we will arrange for your families in batches.

Those present here are key talents that Yaoben Base needs to protect urgently, as per the higher-up’s instruction, you are the first group to leave, followed by the second and third groups for the remaining people and materials.”

Song Qian spoke solemnly, then activated the laser pointer, with the red dot falling on the projector screen, “I received this information just three minutes ago. Time is pressing; please listen first. We can discuss the specifics afterward.”

Frequent emergencies had made the crowd, mostly warriors and scholars, quickly fall silent after some whispers, their attention focusing on the projected image.

Song Qian began his explanation.

According to him, reaching East Mountain normally takes an hour and fifty-eight minutes, but they might encounter temporary tunnel collapses later.

The warriors originally assigned to escort them had other urgent tasks and couldn’t accompany them all the way.

Thus, they must familiarize themselves with the emergency shelters, exit signs, first aid kits, safety hammers, fire axes, temporary supply storage points, and more during their journey.

He also showed them how to use some temporary small weapons and explosives.

This was to ensure that they could at least perform basic self-rescue in an emergency.

Moreover, these temporary shelters in the tunnel could support at least a week’s worth of food and drinking water.

Jiang Yan was startled inside.

Song Qian’s details implied that only a small-scale collapse was manageable.

If it were a large-scale collapse, the hundred layers underground would virtually become a natural tomb.

Even deeper than a tomb that no tomb raider could reach.

However, they would not take such risks if the surface temperature hadn’t already dropped below minus one hundred degrees, with even more severe snowstorms expected.

This was something everyone understood.

At that moment, they were like ordinary ants living in a nest; they had no other choice.

While Jiang Yan was deep in thought, Song Qian had finished his explanations.

The situation wasn’t complicated, and there was nothing that people didn’t understand.

The warrior who had turned off the lights now turned them on, and Song Qian scanned the room before saying,

“This image is not available in paper form, so please make sure to memorize the key markers and routes. Next, we will distribute some essential supplies to everyone. After you have received your items, please go back, pack your bags, and meet at Platform 3 within ten minutes.”

“Captain Song, our families…” a few people began to rise with concern.

Song Qian took a deep breath and declared firmly, “Rest assured, everyone. Our warriors, even at the cost of their lives, will make every effort to safely bring your families underground and to East Mountain.

I hope you can appreciate the great pains taken by Leader Mo.”

The room: “…”

The atmosphere in the room turned somewhat tense.

“Knock knock.” Someone was at the door.

“Come in,” said Song Qian as the door opened, and several warriors pushed in a load of boxes.

They contained helmets, bottled water, oxygen bottles, individual first aid kits, and compressed biscuits, about one set per person.

Song Qian then walked over to Jiang Yan and whispered, “Yaoben Base is about to openly confront Flame Base.”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Yan blinked in surprise. “Are these scientists the ones taken away by them before the apocalypse?”

“No. It’s precisely because we’ve discovered that the kidnapped top scientists and core research facilities are not within Flame Base that we’ve decided to confront them openly.”

“Is the emergency you mentioned related to this?”

“No,” shook his head Song Qian. “In about six hours, a meteor shower will hit the area around Flame Base.”

Jiang Yan: “Meteors?” Extreme cold plus snowstorms plus meteors?!

This is the end of humanity…

“Jiang Yan, this meteorological war has escalated. From now on, we may have to get used to frequent natural disasters.”

As he spoke, Song Qian’s eyes darkened, his voice grave.
