Chapter 374 Humanitarian Relief
There are two days left until the Civilization Trial.

But the eyes of the entire planet were focused on Singapore.

This is the first region to welcome extraterrestrial civilization.

Their arrival was not, as humans had imagined, with guns and spaceships; on the contrary, they were as beautiful as a shower of roses.

"Sir, all communications within the country have been cut off."

The US Department of Defense was observing the scene of the humanoid halo descending almost frame by frame.

The American president couldn't help but exclaim, "It's like a divine intervention! Look at them, don't they look like angels without wings?"

The Minister of Defense swallowed a sigh, lit a cigar, took a deep drag, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Of course they're like angels, preparing to take an entire nation to heaven. Oh, or if these angels are Galileo, maybe they're taking them to hell?"

President of the United States...

"What did you eat this morning? Was it explosives?"

The Minister of Defense took a deep breath and forced a stiff smile: "I'm sorry."

The people in the conference room unanimously skipped over this point and continued reporting on the aliens.

There's really nothing to report. With just this little bit of intelligence, there's absolutely nothing we can analyze.

The US president had no intention of providing assistance.

Please, the Civilization Trial is in two days, who has time to care about others?
"Ahem, go ask China and Russia, they're close to Singapore."

Let's build up public opinion and demonstrate our responsibility as a major power!
China's performance in the qualifiers was outstanding, and they were the only country to reap the rewards from the qualifiers.

This inevitably makes other governments wonder what kind of prizes they could get if they could win first place in the Civilization Trial Arena.

Whether there are dates or not, let's shoot first and see.

In response, the US president tagged China and Russia on the internet.

The people of Singapore are suffering terribly and desperately need humanitarian aid from major powers. This is a critical moment to test whether humanity can stand together.

Even across the internet, the Russians knew what the American president wanted to say, and they simply replied with a smiling emoji, without saying another word.

There was no official response from the Chinese government, as they were in the midst of an important meeting.

There were many attendees at the meeting, but the only main figure was the one shown in the video.

As the meeting was about to begin, the meeting host, Li Li, quickly stepped onto the stage, and all eyes were on her.

"First of all, welcome to this meeting. This meeting is highly confidential, so please keep your mobile phones switched off and do not bring any recording devices."

"Today's meeting agenda includes: ① What kind of extraterrestrial civilization has arrived in Singapore? ② Should we accept this civilization and provide humanitarian aid? ③ If we fail in this trial by civilization, how should we respond?"

"Now, please feel free to speak your mind."

The conference room instantly erupted in commotion. Scientists who knew each other whispered among themselves, and their hushed arguments could be faintly heard.

Li Li glanced around the conference room and, seeing that no one wanted to comment on the first topic, turned around, bowed slightly to the screen behind her, and asked, "Principal Lin Xiaohe, would you like to speak?"

Lin Xiaohe nodded.

The conference room fell silent instantly, as a group of important figures standing atop the pyramid of Chinese civilization stared intently at Lin Xiaohe.

Some scientists even took out their pens and paper, put on their reading glasses, and took careful notes. Lin Xiaohe knew what they wanted to know, so she said directly, "I have never seen this alien civilization, but from my observation, they should be non-material, pure consciousness energy beings."

"The humanoid halos we see are merely their visual projections in three-dimensional space. They probably don't have a fixed form; they take on human form simply because it's the form that's easiest for us to accept."

Brush brush.

The sound of writing filled the conference room.

Lin Xiaohe remained calm and composed, speaking in a measured tone: "All the people in Singapore are in a coma. In the short term, they are not in any immediate danger. Rather than being in a coma, they are more like being in a dream."

The scientists in the conference room paused.

Old Chen was the first to raise his hand and ask, "What are they after?"

Why waste so many resources and travel thousands of miles to Earth, just to let so many people dream?
One theologian tentatively raised his hand: "Is it possible that they are like the legendary nightmares, feeding on human dreams?"

Old Chen's lips twitched. He wanted to refute him, saying that this was not scientific, but when he thought of the "Construction Manual," it seemed that this thing was even more unscientific.

Old Chen kept his mouth tightly shut and looked at Lin Xiaohe.

Lin Xiaohe said thoughtfully, "That's possible."

I'm rough!

The military representative was dumbfounded. How could they defend against this? How could they fight it?
The entire Earth's defenses relied on physical attacks, but the first alien civilization to arrive took the path of spiritual beings.

A gray-haired soldier with a general's star on his shoulder quietly moved to the side of the purple-robed Taoist priest: "Do you have a solution?"

The purple-robed Taoist priest gave a wry smile: "No. Why don't you ask the Jiangmen Neutrino Underground Laboratory? I heard they successfully captured neutrinos and proved their existence."

The gray-haired soldier narrowed his eyes and turned to the scientists at another table who were arguing and banging on the table.

It seems that there is a significant disagreement among the scientists.

Putting academic issues aside for now, regarding the second topic, over 2% of the participants agreed on providing humanitarian aid.

This is not just about saving lives and demonstrating the demeanor of a great power, but also about getting up close and personal with the Nightmare.

Once the decision was made, the order was sent to a cruiser in the southern sea area.

There were exactly 30 students from the First Agricultural School of the Central District of Blue Star on board the cruiser for their internship.

The screen at the front of the conference room then split into two, displaying live feeds of Lin Xiaohe and the cruiser.

Whether it was the Civilization Trial Grounds being overconfident or they simply lacking the ability to restrict global satellites, in any case, the satellites independently developed and successfully launched into space by China were not affected in any way.

The real-time satellite images of the cruiser were incredibly clear.

The distance from the southernmost port to Singapore is about 1400 nautical miles. The cruiser "Kunpeng" has an average speed of 30 knots and it would take about two days to reach its destination.

To save time, the agricultural school students on board the Kunpeng worked together, harnessing the wind and rain to help the Kunpeng.

Upon witnessing such a charlatan-like scene, the scientists in the conference room experienced a surge in blood pressure.

Their worldview is crumbling, but they stubbornly continue watching videos in order to explore the unknown and for national security.

Finally, the host, Li Li, worried that the scientists might be having psychological problems, went back to the stage and steered the conversation to the third topic.

If they fail in the Civilization Trial, how should they respond?
