Freeze the entire population, activate my Superman system?

"Brother Shuang, I really didn't expect it to be you."

Wu Yi grinned.

In the distance, Zhang Mu sprinted from the shore of the artificial lake.

"Little snotty-nosed brat! Oh my god! It's you!"

He rushed up to Wu Yi and grabbed Wu Yi's collar.

"You brat! Five years! Five years without a single phone call!"

For the first three years, your mom asked me every day where you were! How the hell was I supposed to know where you were?!

Wu Yi was being grabbed by the collar, but the smile on his face didn't change at all.

"Zhang Dapao, you're still as hot-tempered as ever."

"I'm your brother Zhang Mu! Don't call me by my nickname!"

"That's what Brother Shuang used to call me."

"You can call him Ling Shuang! He's my son, you can't call him that!"

Ling Shuang stood to the side, watching the two bicker like they did when they were children, and the corners of her mouth slowly widened.

Wu Yi easily broke free from Zhang Mu's grasp and straightened his wrinkled collar.

"Brother Shuang, Zhang Dapao, let's catch up later, let's get down to business first."

He turned around, faced the crowd that had gathered, and turned on the loudspeaker.

"According to Article 3 of the 'Southern Heavenly Gate Spark Project,' and after on-site confirmation by our department, the Longmaofu Human Safety Zone is officially designated as..."

He paused for a moment.

"Human Civilization No. 01 Spark Base".

We will defend this place to the death and find a way to save human civilization.

When those words were spoken, the entire safe zone fell silent for a full three seconds.

Then, cheers erupted like thunder.

"Luan bird! Luan bird! Luan bird!"

"Brother Shuang," Wu Yi turned his head and looked at Ling Shuang, "you're the commander of the Fireseed Base, aren't you?"

Ling Shuang remained silent for a moment. "Zhang Mu is the lord."

"You're the commander," Wu Yi said. "There's no conflict. Xuan Nu has sufficient firepower. We'll begin equipping Big Cannon's territory."

Zhang Mu was speechless.

"No one's called that nickname in years. I'm a lord now, don't think I won't beat you up just because you're a special forces soldier."

At this moment, the cabin door under the nose of the aircraft opened, and the gangway extended out.

Wu Yi ignored Zhang Mu, walked up the gangway, and disappeared behind the cabin door.

A few minutes later, Luan Bird's mechs kept pouring out, carrying out one silver-white metal box after another from the cabin.

Each box is approximately two meters square, and its surface is also covered with a pattern of mycelial weaving.

The boxes were lined up neatly in a row on the lake, twelve in total.

Wu Yi walked up to the first box and passed the retinal recognition test.

The lid popped open automatically, revealing rows of neatly arranged energy rifles inside.

The gun is shorter than the Type 95, but it feels heavier, and its surface is covered with the same silver-white mycelium as the Luan Bird mecha.

"10 individual energy rifles, with an effective range of 600 meters, capable of penetrating scale armor below level two."

Wu Yi's voice was calm, but it sent all the management staff present into a frenzy of joy.

He moved on to the second box and opened it.

Inside were stacks of silver-white armor plates, each about the size of an A4 sheet of paper and no more than half a centimeter thick, but they felt as heavy as lead when held in the hand.

"Individual soldier exoskeleton armor parts, the same mycelium weave as the Luan Bird mech. After wearing it, ordinary people can fight against Tier 1, and trained personnel can fight against Tier 2."

The third to seventh boxes were filled with alien source crystals, including those from the battlefield earlier, all of which had been cleared out by the drone swarm.

At the very top are two dark gold fourth-order source crystals belonging to the Turing and Reynolds brothers, which are extremely eye-catching.

The eighth, the ninth...

Each time Wu Yi opened a new account, the cheers from the safe zone grew louder.

Energy rifle, exoskeleton armor, source crystal, city defense turret, tactical helmet, energy converter.

Each box is enough to increase humanity's chances of survival in this apocalyptic world several times over.

Zhang Mu stood to the side, his eyes wide with amazement.

"Xiao Wu... do you phoenixes carry your own armory? How come you have everything?"

Wu Yi ignored him.

He walked up to the last box.

This box is different from the previous eleven. It is much larger, nearly two meters long, one meter wide, and one meter high, but its surface has no mycelial patterns; instead, it is made entirely of carbon fiber.

The lid of the box has an old-fashioned mechanical combination lock.

After Wu Yi turned the combination lock, the lid of the box slowly popped open.

Zhang Mu leaned closer and craned his neck to look inside.

"What is this? Why is it so mysterious and saved for last? Is it the most powerful weapon? An antimatter bomb? Or...?"

But after seeing clearly, his voice caught in his throat.

There were no weapons in the box.

It is a solemn stone tablet.

The stone tablet is about 1.5 meters tall and is made of some kind of grayish-white basalt. The surface of the tablet is rough, as if it was chiseled out by someone with the most primitive tools.

Several lines of text are engraved on the front of the monument.

Chinese characters, in regular script, are neatly written, each stroke conveying a sense of solemnity.

"China's Permanent Scientific Research Station on the Far Side of the Moon - Erected in April 2031".

Based on the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, the 2020 Artemis Accords, and the 2029 Moonfire Accords.

It was established by the South Tianmen Space Command (SNG-HQ) of China.

Responsibilities: scientific observation, resource exploration, deep space transfer, and asserting sovereignty.

Note: This is a boundary marker for all human civilization on Earth; the territory belongs to the sovereignty of China.

At the bottom of the monument is engraved a row of densely packed small characters, which are the names of the units and the signatures of the persons in charge of the first batch of scientific research stations that participated in the construction of the Toad Palace Project on the far side of the moon.

Some names have been blurred by the weathering, but most are still clearly identifiable.

This is,

The far side of the moon

A landmark of human civilization on Earth!

Ling Shuang stared at the stone tablet, her pupils slightly contracting.

He remembered the news. In 2031, the country announced the establishment of its first permanent scientific research station on the far side of the moon, and this boundary marker was erected next to the site.

The news broadcast lasted for a full three minutes. In the footage, staff members wearing spacesuits erected a boundary marker on the grayish-white lunar soil. The moment the red silk on the marker was unveiled, he stood up straight in front of the television.

He never imagined that this boundary marker would be brought to this world.

With a solemn expression, Wu Yi squatted down, held the stone tablet in his hands, and slowly took it out of the box.

He held the stone tablet, turned around, and walked straight through the crowd.

The Tianhe No. 2 in Xuan Nu had already scanned all the buildings in the community.

His destination was the Memorial to the Fallen Heroes in the central garden.

The pilots of the Luan Bird mech group jumped off their respective mechs and followed behind Wu Yi.

The first, second, and third companies, nearly a hundred soldiers in silver-white combat uniforms, lined up in two columns, marching in unison, silently following the stone tablet.

The people in the front row trembled when they saw the boundary marker. They spread the word and then all chose to follow the force that had crossed space to save them.

Wu Yi walked to the monument to the fallen heroes and stopped.

"According to the requirements of the 'South Heavenly Gate Fire Seed Project,' it needs to be placed in the most important survival base of human civilization, as a symbol of the sacred and inviolable territory of China."

The Phoenix Legion will defend the integrity of the nation's territory to the death.

Wu Yi squatted down and solemnly placed the base of the stone tablet in the open space to the right of the Memorial to the Fallen Heroes.

The moment that familiar boundary marker was erected, everyone's hair stood on end.

Then, Wu Yi stood up, took a step back, and saluted the stone tablet.

"Attention, all! Salute!"

At the same instant, all soldiers of the Luan Bird Corps raised their right hands and saluted.

The people behind him had tears in their eyes and instinctively raised their right hands as well.

Even if the movements are not standard, the trembling fingertips reveal a sincere heart!

Even if caught up in the apocalypse,

National consciousness and a sense of national identity have long been deeply ingrained in everyone's blood.

From beginning to end, this has always been Chinese territory!

Every inch of our land is worth its weight in gold!
