The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Chi Zhengyang straightened up.

He took a deep look in the direction of the operating room.

Then he resolutely turned around.

The tenderness on his face vanished the moment he turned away, replaced by his usual coldness and authority.

It was even more fierce than usual.

Outside.

The guard, Xiao Wang, stayed there the whole time, never leaving his side.

Upon seeing Chi Zhengyang emerge, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Chi Zhengyang didn't waste any words.

"Pass on my orders."

"Mobilize the guard company and seal off this floor."

"No one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Anyone found to be suspicious, no matter who they are, should be arrested immediately!"

The last word carried a strong sense of killing intent.

He hadn't forgotten about the blood bank incident; it definitely couldn't have been an accident!

Xiao Wang's heart skipped a beat.

"yes!"

Chi Zhengyang did not linger.

He strode quickly toward a private office at the end of the corridor.

Push the door open.

enter.

Deadbolt.

The series of movements were fluid and seamless.

He checked the windows of the room and drew the curtains.

After confirming that the environment is absolutely safe.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Pick up your phone.

Chi Zhengyang walked to the desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

He didn't rush to speak.

Instead, he pulled out a pack of specially supplied cigarettes from his pocket.

Take one out.

ignite.

Take a deep breath.

So much happened in those few short minutes; he needs to catch his breath.

The acrid smoke swirled in my lungs, calming my previously agitated mind somewhat.

He looked at the burning cigarette butt between his fingers and slowly said, "Comrade, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Now."

"I'm all alone here."

"Can you tell me who you really are?"

In the receiver.

A sound of exhalation was heard.

That's Lin Mo.

Lin Mo sat behind the counter in the grocery store, listening to the sounds on the other end of the phone, and let out a long sigh of relief.

It became.

The first step, which was also the hardest, has finally been taken.

He adjusted his posture and spoke into the microphone.

"Hello, my name is Lin Mo."

"A person from the Dragon Kingdom fifty-five years in the future."

......

in the office.

A deathly silence.

The only sound was the hissing of burning cigarettes.

Chi Zhengyang paused slightly, the fingers holding the cigarette between his fingers.

Cigarette ash fell onto the table.

Fifty-five years later?

If he had heard such absurd words a few minutes ago, he would have hung up the phone immediately, had the technical department locate the other party, arrested them, and sent them to a mental hospital.

Or they could be treated as enemy agents.

But now.

That red injection.

That miracle of bringing the dead back to life.

It just happened right before his eyes.

The level of medical care that was beyond the comprehension of the present era forced him to re-examine every word the other person said.

Chi Zhengyang did not refute.

There was no mockery.

He simply took a quiet puff of his cigarette.

The brain is working at lightning speed.

Countless possibilities flashed through my mind, only to be overturned one by one.

finally.

He chose to trust his intuition.

"evidence."

Chi Zhengyang uttered two words.

Although he was already somewhat convinced, he couldn't completely entrust himself to the other party based on just one sentence.

Lin Mo seemed to have anticipated his reaction.

"Wasn't that potion enough?"

Chi Zhengyang flicked his cigarette ash.

"That's medicine."

"Good drug efficacy only indicates a high level of scientific research."

"There are hidden talents all over the world, and it's not impossible that there are some unorthodox remedies or secret traditions that I'm not familiar with."

"This doesn't prove you're from the future."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Lin Mo's voice rang out again.

With a hint of helplessness, and a hint of solemnity.

"I have indeed come from fifty-five years in the future!"

"I know what I'm saying sounds like science fiction, even weird."

"But I assure you, everything I'm saying is true."

"People from China, we don't lie to people from China!"

This sentence.

It was a resounding statement.

Chi Zhengyang's heart skipped a beat.

People from China don't lie to people from China.

These eight simple words possess a mysterious power.

He stubbed out his cigarette.

He leaned forward slightly and asked into the microphone.

"You contacted me just to help me?"

If the other party possesses such a miraculous medicine that can bring the dead back to life, they can easily seek out higher-ups or exchange it for enormous wealth and power through other channels.

Why look for yourself?

And it was at this critical moment that he saved his wife.

This favor is immense.

It was so big that it made him uneasy.

Lin Mo's voice came quickly.

"No."

"I'm doing this for myself."

"I can't go on living."

"I need my country's help."

Upon hearing this...

Chi Zhengyang's originally tense nerves inexplicably relaxed a lot.

As long as there is something to ask for, that's fine.

I'm not afraid of the other person having desires; I'm afraid of the other person having no desires at all.

If the other party really doesn't want anything in return, and is simply doing good deeds to help Chi Zhengyang.

Then he would start to doubt the other party's intentions.

in this world.

There is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason.

Exchange of benefits.

That's the most stable relationship.

Chi Zhengyang leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

"May I ask why?"

After a brief moment of thought, Chi Zhengyang asked the question that had been on his mind.

"Since you come from the world fifty-five years in the future..."

"The technology back then was definitely much more advanced than it is now."

"Take that injection for example. As far as I know, even the most advanced laboratories in China, no, can produce it."

"It has overturned everyone's understanding; a single injection can rapidly restore blood flow to a person suffering from anemia, and may even bring them back from the brink of death!"

"I don't understand why you need my help."

"Do we even need to ask for help from 55 years ago?"

This is also what Chi Zhengyang can't understand the most.

Logically speaking...

The future should be bright and prosperous.

Let alone fifty-five years, no one can accurately predict even the next five years.

Just like back when it was 2G, we never dared to imagine 5G now.

But judging from the tone of the other person, it sounded like a refugee who was about to die.

On the other end of the phone.

A bitter laugh followed.

Even through the electric current, Chi Zhengyang could hear the bitterness and despair in that laughter.

"Fifty-five years later?"

"Heh." Lin Mo chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Fifty-five years from now, where will the Dragon Kingdom still be?"

"The Dragon Kingdom ceased to exist fifty years ago."

boom!

This sentence.

It was like a nuclear bomb exploding in Chi Zhengyang's mind.

He suddenly stood up.

The chair tipped over on the ground with a loud bang due to the excessive movement.

But he couldn't care less.

One hand gripped the phone tightly, the knuckles turning white from the force.

"What did you say?!"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

Chi Zhengyang's voice rose an octave.

His chest heaved violently.

He knew the power of the Dragon Kingdom better than anyone else.

Today, the people of China are united, and the country's strength is growing day by day.

Do you think the Dragon Kingdom exists?

And this happened five years later, in such a short time!

It's simply a horror of slipping the world!

On the other end of the phone.

Lin Mo's voice remained calm.

It was eerily calm.

"It wasn't done by human intervention."

"It's not from any particular country."

This answer directly refuted Chi Zhengyang's conjecture.

"It's a monster."

"Countless monsters."

"Like locusts, they swarmed everywhere."

Five years later, monsters invade, and the apocalypse arrives.

"The firearms that humanity is so proud of are not very effective against those monsters."

"Less than a month."

"All human civilization in the world will be wiped out."

"That battle between humans and monsters was a complete one-sided crushing defeat."

"It was a massacre."

"A complete and utter massacre!"
