Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 4 Meeting
Jiang Yang's reaction clearly surprised Gu Changshan.

He originally thought that talking to someone like Jiang Yang, who was surrounded by mystery, would be difficult.

But once Jiang Yang began to speak, he immediately got into the zone, and his expression became increasingly serious.

Without pausing, Jiang Yang revealed everything he knew.

Having finally finished explaining everything, Jiang Yang asked, "That's how it is. What are your plans? Is there anything you need me to do?"

Gu Changshan fell silent for a long time before saying, "If you can, please come with me to another conference room. There are some other people who also have some questions for you."

"Okay. But... I haven't had breakfast yet. Can I eat first and then ask?"

Gu Changshan's lips twitched slightly, and he immediately stood up, saying solemnly, "I'm sorry, Comrade Jiang Yang, this was our mistake."

"fine."

Gu Changshan shook his head: "At this stage, you are the most important person in our entire country, without exception. Please rest assured that we will never make a similar mistake again in the future."

Jiang Yang looked embarrassed.

A breakfast was quickly brought over. Jiang Yang ate it in no time and followed Gu Changshan to another meeting room that was noticeably more spacious.

Dozens of people in uniforms were already seated at the conference table.

"This is a member of the strategic intelligence team."

After a brief introduction, Gu Changshan shut his mouth.

Gathering his thoughts, Jiang Yang prepared himself to answer any question.

His principle is simple: answer every question and cooperate fully, that's all.

The questions asked by the strategic intelligence team were very detailed, ranging from what Jiang Yang ate for breakfast on a particular day during the cycle, how many times he went to the toilet, and whether he had any physical discomfort. They would even ask the same question in different ways and from multiple angles.

Jiang Yang didn't get a two-hour break until noon. In the afternoon, instead of being questioned, Jiang Yang underwent various physical examinations under Gu Changshan's guidance.

This situation lasted for two full days. It wasn't until 9 p.m. on the second day, after the last physical examination was completed, that Gu Changshan found Jiang Yang.

"The information gathering and verification phase is complete. We will work through the night to organize this information. There will be a high-level meeting tomorrow morning, at which time we will determine the next steps in our response."

Jiang Yang nodded silently.

It is now the sixth night since the cycle began. In four more days, the end of the world will come.

Although it seemed like he had wasted two days, he understood that it was necessary.

National actions are of paramount importance and must be approached with utmost caution, requiring repeated verification and deliberation before a final decision is made on whether to implement them.

The fact that a high-level meeting could be convened immediately after only a day and a half of information gathering to determine the next course of action is an almost unimaginable level of efficiency, and we cannot ask for more.

On the morning of the seventh day, Jiang Yang got up and went to the canteen to eat breakfast on his own. In the past two days, he had become familiar with the layout of the underground base and no longer needed anyone to take him there.

With no one coming to ask him questions or check his health anymore, Jiang Yang felt a little uneasy about suddenly having so much free time.

He knew that, somewhere he was unaware, that high-level meeting must have already begun.

The outcome of this conference will most likely determine not only itself, but also the future fate of the entire nation and civilization.

Until the results are in, all I can do is wait.

After lying down in his room for a while, Jiang Yang picked up the walkie-talkie: "Comrade, could you give me a computer? One that can play games online." The reply came from the walkie-talkie: "Please wait a moment, it will be delivered immediately."

In just a few minutes, a laptop, keyboard, and mouse were delivered.

"Thanks."

Putting aside all other thoughts, Jiang Yang entered the game world directly.

Let's seize the time and enjoy life.

……

Tianhua University, in the classroom.

An elderly man with gray hair was writing something on the blackboard with chalk. His wise, aged voice, transmitted through an earpiece, reached the ears of dozens of students who were attentively listening to the lecture: "The core idea of ​​condensed matter physics is..."

The classroom door suddenly opened, and a young man hurried over under the old man's disapproving gaze, whispering something in his ear.

The old man's expression suddenly turned serious: "Students, you will study on your own for this class."

He then followed the young man out of the classroom, leaving the students looking at each other in bewilderment.

In a laboratory filled with rock specimens, a middle-aged man is intently observing the cross-sectional structure of a rock under a microscope.

My phone rang.

Who is this?

He muttered something in dissatisfaction, picked up his phone, and upon seeing the number displayed, his dissatisfaction vanished instantly, replaced by extreme seriousness.

Pressing the answer button, a voice immediately came through: "Professor Lü, there is an urgent meeting that requires your attendance. Please arrive at the confidential conference room of your institute within five minutes and log in to channel 6652 to await further instructions."

"Yes."

Dropping the rock specimen and not even having time to take off his white coat, Professor Lü jogged towards the secure conference room.

At the Luoxia Mountain Meteorological Research Institute, a plump, ruddy-faced middle-aged man is surrounded by a group of young people, pointing to a meteorological picture and explaining something.

A staff member rushed in, looked around, spotted the middle-aged man, and immediately ran over.

"Xiao Wang, what's the rush!"

The middle-aged man scolded, and the young man, addressed as Xiao Wang, gasped, "Your phone call!"

Somewhat annoyed, the middle-aged man took the phone, but his displeasure vanished like snowflakes, replaced by an instantly serious expression: "Yes! I'll be there right away!"

He hurriedly arrived at the secure conference room, turned on his computer, and logged into the designated online conference channel. The middle-aged man then saw many figures on the screen.

He didn't recognize those people, but they seemed vaguely familiar. After a moment's thought, he immediately realized who they were.

I've seen these people in news reports more than once!
Dozens of experts and scholars attended the meeting, and each of them was a renowned figure in their respective fields, a true leader!
And there were more than just that many participants. He noticed that each expert had a different subgroup, including physics, psychology, medicine, geology, astronomy, and his own meteorology group, and so on.

Each group had more names, but the attendees were not allowed to display their images in the meeting room; they were only given a name.

Furthermore, even these individuals, who can present images and are considered leaders in their respective fields, can only occupy a small window in the online meeting room at this moment. The central window remains black, clearly indicating that the most important participant has not yet logged on.

A sense of gravity gradually settled in the hearts of the middle-aged people.
