[Day 116, Underground City Construction is in full swing]
Infrastructure is the country's strong point.
[On the 133rd day, a mirage appeared in Kunlun Mountain. This mirage did not dissipate with the passage of time, but remained stable in the sky from beginning to end]
"Kunlun Mountain is really a special place." Wang Ran pondered, "It will not disappear with the passage of time. Is this an exception or a beginning?"
If this is an isolated case, it only shows that Kunlun Mountain is very special, even in the mirror world.
But if it is the beginning it is different, it means the next stage of the end.
[Day 152: More mirages do not disappear with the passage of time. They are scattered all over the earth and become a fixed landscape]
Other mirages also began to become permanent.
This is apparently an anomaly caused by the increased synchronization between the two Earths.
Wang Ran pondered, "If every mirage becomes permanent, it won't be long before the entire earth is covered by these mirages."
By that time, I'm afraid not even a ray of sunlight will be able to enter the earth.
[Day 175, the mirage is clearer]
[Pilots cannot distinguish mirages]
[The aviation industry suffered a major blow]
If the pilot cannot distinguish a mirage, he or she may have to make an emergency avoidance attempt towards the mirage during flight, or may mistake a real building for a mirage.
Even if the autopilot system is used to fly the plane to its destination, if there is a mirage above the airport and the pilot cannot see his landing runway clearly, the possibility of an accident will increase dramatically!
It is foreseeable that the civil aviation industry will no longer exist in the near future.
[The mirage's effect of blocking sunlight is further improved, and the surface temperature drops further]
[Someone is freezing to death every minute and every second]
[181st day, the United Nations issued a low temperature warning]
[According to the warning content]
[The surface temperature will drop by ten degrees in the next half month, and most places on Earth will become uninhabitable. The United Nations is actively requesting countries in habitable areas to accept refugees]
[Some countries have made accepting refugees an election issue, with everyone from local councillors to the president getting involved]
As the end of the world is approaching, politicians in some countries still do not forget to fight for their own political future.
[Day 205: The first underground city was built in our country]
It has been exactly three months since the country received the equipment, and it was completed so quickly. It can be said that the country has not been idle for a moment in the construction of the underground city.
[International Sensation]
[You are invited to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony]
You named this underground city the City of Hope.
I hope there is hope.
[Civilians migrate to the City of Hope]
[Dozens of countries request assistance from my country]
[Our country promises that after meeting the survival needs of its own people, it will send engineering teams to other countries to assist in the construction of underground cities]
It is beyond reproach to give priority to ensuring the safety of the lives of our people.
[Our country’s reputation has risen significantly]
[Day 206: Scandal exposed in a certain country]
[Due to serious corruption, the country's underground city project has almost come to a standstill. After three months, the excavation has not reached a depth sufficient to build an underground city.]
Building a new city from scratch is no easy task, and building a dungeon is even more difficult.
But it is unacceptable that the project was stalled due to corruption, especially when other countries have already built underground cities. This matter will naturally cause a huge response.
[People are boiling with resentment]
[Similar situations also exist in other developed countries]
Many hacker groups have announced investigations into underground city projects in their respective countries.
[Day 207: Permanent mirages cover 5% of the Earth’s total surface area, and non-permanent mirages cover 60% of the Earth’s total surface area]
"That adds up to 65 percent."
This means that if you look up, 65 percent of the scenery in your field of vision is a mirage.
It is difficult for people on Earth to tell what the mirage above their heads looks like, because when they look up, they see nothing but darkness, as if the sky is about to fall.
Between the lines, a sense of oppression is evident.
[The homeless are completely eliminated]
They all froze to death.
[The second underground city was built in our country]
Other countries do not have the equipment to quickly build underground cities. Perhaps the underground city project in China has been completely completed, and the first underground city in other countries has not yet been completed.
[Day 208: More underground cities are built in our country]
[Some countries jointly put pressure on my country]
[They asked our country to provide equipment for building underground cities]
The country asks you for help
[Leave this matter to the Apostle of Dawn]
[Overnight, hundreds of familiar faces appeared in the prison on Ronawe Island]
Wang Ran felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He knew who was doing this as soon as he rolled his eyes.
[Day 209, a major earthquake in international public opinion]
[Countries that put pressure on our country have stopped working and are now busy looking for their missing politicians]
[The hacker group announced the results of the investigation]
[Developed countries are generally not paying enough attention to underground city projects. Only underground city projects in key cities are progressing as planned, while underground city projects in second-tier cities and even more remote areas are almost or completely stagnant.]
The survey results caused an uproar.
[Global demonstrations broke out]
[Due to the low temperature, the parade lasted only half an hour, and the hospital was full after the parade]
[On the 210th day, the angry people received apologies from various governments, but the underground city project did not change at all and continued to move forward at the original pace]
[People are extremely angry, but they can do nothing about it]
They were very frustrated.
The weather is too cold to even protest in the streets, let alone make the corrupt politicians repent.
[At the same time, the nineteenth underground city was built in our country]
[A large number of wealthy businessmen sought refuge in our country]
[On the 211th day, the hacker group released a recording]
[“Don’t worry about those lowly people.”]
[“The weather is getting colder.”]
"They will soon freeze to death."
[The recording was a phone call between a certain country’s president and its secretary of state. Once it was exposed, it immediately aroused the public’s anger.]
Wang Ran was stunned.
Good job!
Just because civilians are freezing to death, we should ignore them. What kind of outrageous statement is this
[A large number of people armed themselves and attacked politicians’ private homes]
[Government Buildings Fall]
[The underground city project under construction was forced to stop]
The country is in chaos
The country's underground city projects have been very poor to begin with, with only a few key cities progressing steadily, while underground cities in other places are at a standstill.
Originally, the civilians still retained a trace of rationality.
As a result, the recording of the phone call was exposed, and they found that although the politician apologized verbally, he actually wanted them to freeze to death...
Attacks on politicians' private homes and government buildings are understandable.
As for attacking the dungeon under construction...
This was probably done by people from remote areas. They were abandoned by politicians, so they ran to key cities to stop the construction of underground cities and let everyone freeze to death with them.
“This is just the beginning of the chaos.”
Every time before the apocalypse completely engulfs humanity, humanity will first collapse from within.
The underground city project was the fuse of this chaos.
Phone recording is not an isolated case.
Politicians in other countries just haven't been exposed, or they don't say it, but they think so in their hearts.
[Day 212: The international situation is in a state of deterioration]
[Riotism broke out in many countries]
[Government agencies in some countries are completely paralyzed]
[Our country has built its 35th underground city. The society is stable and the trust index of civilians in the country has further increased]
Due to Wang Ran's existence, the gap between China and foreign countries is getting bigger and bigger.
[Day 213, the country urgently contacted you]
[You learn that mirages can materialize]
“Materialized?” Wang Ran was surprised. “Mirages become real… They have covered the entire earth!”
Another layer of crust outside the earth's crust
You ask researchers
[You learn that the mirage has not yet become a solid entity, but objects passing through the mirage will encounter obvious resistance. The faster the speed, the more obvious the resistance. A high-speed object hitting the mirage is equivalent to hitting reinforced concrete.]
"The plane is out of service?"
[You learn that the aircraft is still able to fly at high altitudes, but needs to wait for the launch window]
Launch window...
Wang Ran had only seen this word in news about rocket launches.
Rockets wait for launch windows in order to wait for good weather to prevent the rocket from being struck by lightning or losing signal during its ascent. However, ordinary aircraft wait for launch windows in order to avoid hitting mirages.
If ordinary aircraft have to wait for the launch window to go into space, it will be difficult for rockets to go into space, and the human aerospace industry will suffer a devastating blow!
Humanity is about to lose the sky and the stars.
You continue to discuss with researchers.
[You learn that the source of the obstruction cannot be determined]
[You learn that this obstruction may be related to space, but Earth's space science is still in its infancy and cannot provide a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon for the time being.]
[Based on the reasoning of researchers]
[As time goes by, the obstruction of the mirage will become stronger and stronger until it is comparable to a real entity]
"It looks like a physical entity, and it also has the obstructive effect of a physical entity..." Wang Ran frowned and said, "Isn't that a physical entity?"
If the mirage became real...
Wang Ran was shocked.
He seemed to know the outcome of this doomsday.
[Day 214: International chaos intensifies]
[Civil aviation suspension]
[Land and sea transport are booming]
[On the 234th day, the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth decreased significantly, and the Earth became dark. People have forgotten what a sunny day looks like.]
[Day 255: Despair permeates the earth]
[People were so cold that they didn’t even have the urge to indulge themselves]
[On the 286th day, sunlight almost completely disappeared. Even at noon, people still needed to use lighting equipment for activities on the surface.]
[Day 291, the sunlight completely disappears]
The Earth Falls into Darkness
The light and heat from the sun are important reasons for the existence of life on Earth. Without the sun, the little heat emitted by the core of the earth alone cannot sustain the huge number of lives on Earth.
An unprecedented mass extinction has arrived.
This mass extinction will be far worse than the one that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, because this time even the original driving force for the birth of life has disappeared.
[Day 304: Our country's civilians completely move into underground cities]
[my country tries to provide assistance to other countries]
[Government agencies in other countries are almost paralyzed, and social order has completely collapsed. Even if the equipment is delivered, the local area cannot provide the manpower and resources needed to build the underground city.]
[The country had to give up aid]
Building a city requires more than just equipment. It also requires scientists, workers, and building materials, which a collapsed country cannot provide.
[Day 315, the mirage is almost complete]
You discuss with researchers
[Aside from being massless and indestructible, a mirage is no different from a physical entity in other aspects]
[Researchers invite you]
You boarded a mirage
[It's sunny here]
