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

Chi Zhengyang's pen stopped on the paper.

The ink smudged and spread into a small black dot on the paper.

One day.

Opening ceremony.

Turnover.

These seemingly nonsensical business terms have now become a countdown to life and death.

Just then.

The red security phone on the table suddenly lit up.

There was no ringtone.

Only the screen was flickering rapidly.

This is the highest level of emergency intelligence alert.

Chi Zhengyang frowned, put down the receiver, and picked up the red cell phone.

Swipe open the screen.

A message from the National Security Bureau's Technology Section popped up.

It's not long.

But every word is shocking.

"Report!"

"After scanning the entire frequency band by the FAST telescope and BeiDou satellites, the target signal source could not be tracked!"

"This signal band is extremely unusual and does not belong to any known communication frequency band!"

Calculations show that the signal source is not located within the territory of China!

"It's not even within the boundaries of Earth!"

It is not within the scope of Earth.

These seven characters are highlighted in bold red font.

Chi Zhengyang stared at the screen.

I stared at it for a full five seconds.

In the past, he might have suspected that this was some new type of hacking technology, or a smokescreen by hostile forces.

But considering what Lin Mo just said...

Everything makes sense now.

Because this is a signal from fifty-five years in the future.

Naturally, it is no longer within the current scope of Earth.

That's "alien" on a time scale.

This moment.

The last trace of doubt in Chi Zhengyang's heart completely vanished.

This is more than just a benefactor who saved his wife.

It is a window to the future!

Five years from now, the Dragon Kingdom will indeed face a huge crisis.

but now!

An opportunity has emerged that could change the fate of the Dragon Kingdom, and even the fate of all mankind!

He put down another phone.

Pick up the receiver again.

This time.

His movements were more steady and powerful than before.

The previous conversation may have had a personal element of repaying a debt of gratitude.

But from now on...

This is a matter of national importance.

"Comrade Lin Mo."

Chi Zhengyang's voice changed.

No longer the gentle elder, but the supreme commander who commands an army.

majesty.

Solemn.

With an unquestionable firmness.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Weapons? Or supplies?"

"Just say the word."

"I don't!"

"The country will definitely cooperate fully with you!"

This sentence.

Through radio waves, it spanned fifty-five years.

It reached Lin Mo's ears clearly.

boom!

Lin Mo felt a roar in his mind.

The string that had been taut for so long finally snapped at this moment.

It's not a crash.

Instead, it is about release.

From the moment of rebirth.

That immense sense of loneliness constantly enveloped him.

The surrounding area is filled with man-eating monsters.

My mind is a cold, unresponsive system.

He had no relatives or friends.

The whole world is dead, and he is the only living person in the entire world.

He was like the last embers of civilization, shivering in the cold wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

He is afraid.

He panicked.

He even considered giving up, since he had already died once.

But now.

Someone told him that he was not fighting alone.

An indescribable warmth surged into my heart instantly, breaking down all my defenses.

A strong, aching sensation rose in my nose.

He lived through the end times.

I've been through countless battles, even amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

I have witnessed the ugliest aspects of human nature, and I have also witnessed the most tragic sacrifices.

But ultimately...

Strip away the reborn person's outer garments, strip away the system's blessing.

He was just an ordinary person.

An ordinary person who has just graduated from university.

In this desperate situation.

Hearing the promise from the motherland.

That sense of security, that sense of belonging, is enough to shatter any strong facade.

I can't say I'm not moved.

all fake.

Lin Mo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that his throat felt like it was blocked by something.

Chi Zhengyang smiled and said, "No need to be so formal. You can call me Lao Chi, or comrade, either is fine."

"I......"

His voice was clearly choked with emotion.

On the other end of the phone.

Chi Zhengyang heard the suppressed sob.

A look of emotion appeared on Chi Zhengyang's face.

He could imagine it.

How helpless a young person must feel, facing monsters and death alone in such a desperate future environment.

Chi Zhengyang did not interrupt Lin Mo's outburst, but simply waited quietly for a few seconds.

then.

He spoke slowly in an extremely calm and deep voice.

Every word is like a stabilizing force.

"Don't worry, Comrade Lin Mo."

"From today onwards, you are no longer alone."

"I, and the 1.4 billion people of the Dragon Kingdom!"

"Now, in the future, and always in the future, we will always be behind you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo felt his blood boil.

He wiped his face vigorously.

Quickly adjust your emotions.

He has no time to waste now; once he's dead, he'll have plenty of time to be moved.

"I need people, I need help."

Lin Mo looked through the glass window at the several giant beasts roaming in the distance.

He couldn't possibly open a business and survive in this godforsaken place on his own.

"I need the best warriors."

"Extremely strong individual combat ability, excellent psychological qualities, and proficient in various firearms and survival skills."

"Ideally, they should be elite soldiers of the highest rank."

Only such people can adapt to this hellish world the instant they are teleported here.

Quickly generate revenue for the grocery store.

If an ordinary person were sent here, just seeing those three-headed monsters outside would probably make their legs go weak with fear.

Anyone can talk big, but the key is in real action.

Chi Zhengyang did not hesitate at all.

He didn't even frown.

How many people?

Chi Zhengyang's tone exuded a sense of pride and ambition.

"One hundred thousand? Or one million?"

"The major war zones of the Dragon Kingdom are ready to respond whenever you need them."

"If conventional troops are insufficient, I can mobilize a special operations brigade."

"even....."

Chi Zhengyang paused, his tone becoming extremely serious.

"I can order the entire army to be on high alert, and mobilize the entire nation's resources. Even if it means turning the Dragon Kingdom upside down, I will gather the people you need."

This is no joke.

For survival five years from now, for the future of the Dragon Kingdom.

Let alone a million.

Even if it's ten million, he can afford it!

We must give it to them!

Lin Mo's body trembled.

Is this the kind of boldness Chi Zhengyang possesses?

He could command an army of millions.

Just thinking about that scene sends chills down my spine.

What a magnificent sight it would be if a million-strong army descended upon the wasteland.

But that can only be a fantasy.

The reality is very skinny.

Lin Mo glanced at the general store's pitiful rating.

"I only need ten..."

The air suddenly became quiet.

A suffocating silence followed on the other end of the phone.

Sizzle—!

Chi Zhengyang's pen drew a long ink mark on the paper.

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Or it could be due to signal loss as it travels through time and space.

"How many?"

"One hundred thousand?"
