The two guessed correctly. Director Guan had indeed chosen the activation locations for the two catastrophic props, "Plague" and "War," when he asked them to go. In just one night, this difficult decision was resolved. So when humans stop internal friction and truly become a community with a shared destiny, they will burst out with extremely strong cohesion and action.
"The activation locations for the remaining catastrophic items have been selected. 'Plague' will be activated in Country G, 'War' in Country N, and 'Drought' in Country L." Director Guan directly informed the two of the activation locations of the three items.
But it's not much different. As expected, these three countries are all along the banks of long rivers, and the flood will soon spread there. Since they are all catastrophic props, instead of waiting for the "flood", it is better to step forward and take on the other three catastrophic props. At least in name, they sacrificed to save the earth and all mankind. In this way, when it comes to post-disaster reconstruction, other countries will have to help.
This was something Director Guan had anticipated long ago, and it was also the reason why he did not allow Chen Chu to reclaim the "flood". Even at the joint meeting last night, Director Guan took the initiative to affirm the sacrifices of Country G and Country N, and said that China would provide corresponding assistance to the three countries for post-disaster reconstruction. After he mentioned this, other countries could not play dead, and they all agreed, also expressing that they would contribute money and effort to help the three countries with post-disaster reconstruction. In this way, not only was the matter resolved smoothly, but Director Guan also took the opportunity to improve China's international reputation.
"So should we go recover the 'Flood' first, or look for the 'Plague'?" Chen Chu didn't know what Director Guan said at the joint meeting, but if Country G and Country N knew that the "Flood" could be sealed in advance, they would never agree so easily to let the two catastrophic props be activated on their own territory.
"Let's go find 'Plague' first." said Guan Chu.
"What about the 'flood'?" Lin Yan couldn't help but ask. She had checked her phone for a while in the morning and knew that the flood disaster in Country D was extremely severe. The water level in the riverside city had risen to two stories high. The heavy rains in recent days had caused mudslides in many places, leaving the victims homeless and devastated.
Although she understood why Guan Chu did not seal the "Flood" before, now that the two countries have agreed, Lin Xi felt that the "Flood" should be sealed.
"At the joint meeting, they asked me why the 'snowstorm' could be sealed, but the 'flood' couldn't be sealed. The reason I gave them was that the 'snowstorm' was sealed by Chen Chu, and the reason why Chen Chu could seal the 'snowstorm' was because he was the only Venerable-level supernatural being on Earth, and each Venerable could only seal one catastrophic item. Chen Chu had already sealed the 'snowstorm', so he couldn't seal the 'flood'. If he wanted to seal the 'flood', he had to find a power of the same level again, and only Tianyu had Venerable-level supernatural beings. So, we had to go to Tianyu to find those people. The high-level spirit of the Venerable level asked them to seal the catastrophic props at the cost of reviving the sky. "Director Guan looked at Lin Yan, "I know you can't bear to see the lives of the people destroyed, but if you go to recover the 'Flood' at this time, you are slapping me in the face, and slapping me in the face is slapping China in the face. Once they don't trust China and think that China is doing it on purpose and using it as an excuse to suppress other countries, the trust that countries have built up with great difficulty will collapse. Lin Yan, we don't have time. In the face of a disaster, sacrifice is inevitable. What I can do is to prevent sacrifice from happening again on our land."
Lin Yan was speechless after what Guan said. She was not being chaste, but she felt that the "flood" could be easily recovered, just like she saw a person fall into the water, and she could not throw the lifebuoy in her hand, so she could only watch. But she also understood Guan's words, because only in this way could the matter be resolved the fastest, and as a Chinese, protecting her country was a matter of course.
What's more, China has experienced two catastrophic events. When it comes to protecting the earth, China's contribution is no less than any other country.
"I understand. We will bring the 'plague' out as soon as possible." Under the current situation, only by finding the "plague" as soon as possible can we seal the "flood" naturally.
Seeing that Lin Yan understood, Guan Chu nodded with satisfaction, but still reminded her: "There are only twenty-nine days left."
"Which subspace was opened recently?" Chen Chu asked. He called them over in such a hurry, so there must be a subspace opened today.
"A-level subspace Black Stone City." The speaker was Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen also attended the joint meeting last night. The reason why this joint meeting was so hasty was that the prophets of various countries had received predictions about the earth crisis, so the prophets of various countries also attended the joint meeting last night.
"Black Stone City will open in an hour..." Guan Chu glanced at his watch and said more precisely, "There are still forty-five minutes left."
"Location?" Chen Chu asked.
"Yuzhou." Guan said, picking up a black metal box from the desk and handing it to the two people, "Here are two subspace keys."
Chen Chu reached out and took it: "Let's go now."
Guan nodded: "Do you need anything to prepare? Feel free to ask."
This entry into the subspace is related to the life and death of the earth, so no matter what request Chen Chu makes, he will try his best to meet it.
Chen Chu and Lin Yan looked at each other. Just as Lin Yan was about to shake her head and say that she didn't want anything, she heard Chen Chu say, "Energy stones. Lin Yan's ability consumes a lot of energy stones."
Lin Xi was stunned at first, then she looked towards Guan with sparkling eyes.
Guan Chu had no doubts or hesitations about this. It was normal for superpowers to need energy stones, so he agreed without a second thought: "Sure, I'll have someone deliver as many as you need."
Chen Chu immediately asked Lin Yan: "How much do you want?"
Lin Yan hesitated and said, "Fifty thousand."
After saying this, Lin Xi felt a little guilty, wondering if she had asked for too much. However, once Tianyu revived, she would not be able to enter the sub-space, and she would have no chance to get energy stones at that time, so she greedily asked for a little more.
Unexpectedly, Chen Chu frowned and said doubtfully, "Fifty thousand is enough? This time we enter the secondary space to enter the Miao village through the space gap."
Isn't there a high priest who can walk through the space gap
Guan: "Fifty thousand is indeed too little. Bring two hundred thousand with you."
Before Lin Xi could figure it out, Director Guan doubled her money again and again, making it a total of 200,000.
"Not enough?" Director Guan looked as if he could add more if Lin Yan asked.
"Enough." That's enough.
"I'll have someone send it over right away." After saying that, Director Guan picked up the phone on the table and said a few words to the other end. In less than five minutes, someone sent in a storage item containing a full 200,000 energy stones.
"And this, wear it." Director Guan took off a silver necklace from his neck and handed it to Lin Xi.
When Chen Chu saw the necklace, his eyes flashed with a strange color. Because this was an extremely powerful supernatural item, but he didn't feel it until Guan Chu took it off.
"What is this?" Lin Xi didn't reach out to take it.
"This is a protective item, the Flowing Light Necklace. It should be above SS level. When in danger, it will automatically form a flowing light barrier to protect the wearer. This necklace was obtained by an official psychic from the S-level sub-space Flowing Light City thirty years ago. After that, Flowing Light City has never been opened again. We all think it should be related to this necklace." Guan explained, "You wear it, it will protect your safety."
Lin Yan didn't dare to take it: "You should wear this necklace."
It is an SS-level protective item, and it is worn by Director Guan, so one can imagine its function.
"Your safety is more important than mine now." said Guan Chu.
Lin Yan was still hesitating, but Xiao Wen suddenly said, "Take it. I have a feeling you may need it."
When Xiao Wen said this, the expressions of the three people in the field all turned bad. Under what circumstances can protective props be used? It must be when there is danger, and it must be the kind of danger that even Chen Chu cannot stop.
"Take it!" Director Guan stopped talking nonsense, walked out from behind the table and stuffed the necklace into Lin Xi's hand.
This time, Lin Xi did not refuse and obediently held the necklace in her hand.
"It's almost time, you guys can go." After all this trouble, nearly twenty minutes passed.
"Then we'll go there first." Chen Chu didn't waste any words. He immediately used his spatial ability and went directly from Director Guan's office to Yuzhou.
Lin Xi had just come out of the space channel, and before she could stand firmly, the lottery box in front of her began to shake.
"Mao Mingjie, male, 26 years old, was summoned by relevant departments for spreading rumors about the end of the world."
Lin looked around and found that within a three-meter radius, there was only one person who matched her age and gender. A young man in a gray down jacket was typing on his phone with his fingers holding a cigarette butt, and his cigarette was almost finished.
My dear brother, although what you said on the Internet is not a rumor, it is true that you are unlucky.
Lin Yan immediately took two steps forward and patted the man's arm. When he looked up, she said kindly, "If you continue to spread rumors about the end of the world, the relevant departments will come over through the Internet."
The man was unhappy when he heard this. Who is this woman? Why does she care what I say online? Just as he was about to curse, he caught a glimpse of Chen Chu standing beside him. Chen Chu did nothing and even smiled at him, but the man didn't know why his heart trembled. He put away his phone silently and walked into the mall.
I'm going to go somewhere else to check my phone. I don't believe that this pair of nosy dogs will continue to follow me.
Lin Xi sighed and said, "This guy obviously didn't listen to my words of merit."
Chen Chu asked curiously, "If I listen to it, how many merit points can I get?"
Lin Yan had nothing to hide from Chen Chu, so she said directly, "Ten o'clock."
Chen Chu nodded and said, "It's a bit strange."
"What's so strange?" Lin asked.
"We've been here for so long, but the door to the subspace hasn't been opened. This doesn't fit your character as the living key." Chen Chu teased.
Lin Xi's heart was shocked. If Chen Chu hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have noticed it. Because the system was dormant, the function of the living key also disappeared. In fact, after the system went into dormancy, the originally set programs did not disappear, such as divination, car accidents, and the "plague" seal once every three days. The basic functions are still there, but the mall cannot be opened. If it were normal, this would actually be a good thing. Although the mall could not be opened, as long as she didn't enter the subspace, she would not be in any danger, and the current props were enough. However, it was afraid that this change in the system would bring variables to the salvation of the world.
Chen Chu saw that Lin Yan's expression was not right and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yan said honestly: "It may have something to do with the fact that I consumed too much energy to deliver the message before."
Chen Chu comforted him: "It's okay, we have the key."
In fact, Chen Chu had quite a lot of keys on him. The previous few times he entered the sub-space, it was Lin Wei who took him in, so he saved a lot of keys.
Lin Xi nodded.
Chen Chu glanced at the time, then looked at the snack street not far away, and asked with a smile: "We still have some time, do you want to buy some food?"
Lin Xi naturally had no objection. Eating was the most important thing in the world, and a savior would have no energy to work if he was hungry.
When the two of them came out with a portion of stinky tofu from the snack street, the key in Chen Chu's hand suddenly emitted a faint silver light, shining and very eye-catching in the black iron box.
It was the first time that Lin Xi saw how to use a key, and she took the key with curiosity.
"I'll go in first." After saying that, Chen Chu crushed the key.
Lin Xi waited for Chen Chu to crush the key, and just as she was about to do as he said, everything went dark in front of her, and the person went in.
Lin Yan looked at the city in front of her that was made entirely of black boulders and couldn't help but complain: "The relationship is not ineffective, it's delayed."
It seems that I can’t get rid of my identity as a living key.
From a distance, Lin Xi saw a spirit coming towards her. She hurriedly took out "the Master's ruler" to see if she could communicate. Then she heard a gust of wind passing by her ears, and Chen Chu landed beside her on the wind.
The two did not come in at the same time, so they appeared in different places after entering Black Stone City. But with Chen Chu's current strength, it was easy to find someone. As long as there was wind blowing, he could sense it. So as soon as Lin Yan came in, he rushed over here.
"Let's go." As soon as he finished speaking, he put his arm around Lin Yan's waist and took her to the tower of Black Stone City. The tower was a hundred meters high, and each of the stones was more than ten meters high. No one knew how the stones were carved out.
"Let's wait here for a day. If the high priest doesn't come, we will go to the Miao village by ourselves." Chen Chu said to Lin Xi.
Lin Yan was surprised and asked, "Can we find the Miao village?"
Chen Chu: "I can vaguely feel something, but I'm afraid it's not accurate."
Chen Chu didn't want to take risks because they didn't have time to take risks, so it would be better to wait for the high priest to come.
Lin Yan: "Is it the connection between heaven and earth?"
Chen Chu nodded. This time he came in, his feeling in the subspace was completely different. He felt a lot more, but the most obvious thing was despair, the despair of this world for this world.
Obviously, compared to the Earth, the high priest who had lived in the ruined Soul-Locking Tower for who knows how many years wanted to revive the sky more. The two of them only stayed on the tower for half a day, and the red shadow of the high priest appeared under the tower.
He looked a little embarrassed, and the light of the staff in his hand was a little dim. Obviously, for him, frequently crossing the space gaps was not an easy task.
The high priest stood below, looking up at them, without saying anything, as if waiting for some answer.
Chen Chu lowered his eyes to look at him, without any hesitation, and said directly: "We are going to the Miao village."
The high priest's face, with its blurred features, curved noticeably at the place that looked like a mouth. "To get the 'plague'?"
"Yes." Chen Chu said.
High Priest: "Let's go, we don't have much time."
As the high priest of the Venerable, he could also feel the changes in Tianyu. Tianyu was approaching the earth at a high speed. The high priest was surprised and happy about this change. He was surprised that they didn't have much time left, but he was happy that the earth had to save Tianyu.
