Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

749 Bureau's underground containment base.

Listen to Zhou Zhengyang's introduction.

The entire containment base was constructed using a honeycomb structure, with layers of partitions and a neat grid pattern.

Each source of contamination is individually sealed in a dedicated isolation area, ensuring no interference and implementing layered control to minimize the risk of cross-contamination.

Once the pollution sources are personified, they all possess complete individual emotions.

They are no longer formless and shapeless, but have transformed into another kind of life.

Some are short-tempered, some prefer quiet, and some possess considerable wisdom.

Therefore, the handlers need to customize exclusive containment and control plans based on their characteristics.

"Your Majesty, since 1996, we have contained a total of 547 sources of pollution."

"Among them, 13 pollution sources were mild and stable, and have been moved from being sealed off to being under control."

"Over the years, many sources of pollution have been contained thanks to their assistance."

Su Ming took the electronic file from Zhou Zhengyang.

Pollution sources can also be classified as hazardous.

They are categorized as: stable, controllable, high-risk, and special.

At this moment, Su Ming was looking at the controllable pollution source files, which had the lowest risk and the highest value.

【Number 043: Orb of Light】

[Form: A soft, warm white ball of light, round and stable in shape, emitting a gentle glow, calm and quiet in nature, without any tendency to be agitated]

[Ability: Possesses stable energy and the ability to calm agitated contaminants, significantly reducing containment risks for handlers; it was one of the first contaminants to achieve a controllable evolution.]

[Item No. 285: Paper Airplane]

[Form: A paper airplane the size of a palm, light and stable, with a gentle and peaceful nature, and no offensive capabilities]

[Capabilities: Possesses top-tier pollution source perception, capable of accurately predicting the trajectory of pollution sources, and providing early warnings of potential high-risk pollution source disturbances. It has averted numerous major security incidents and is an indispensable living early warning system for the base.]

Su Ming understood Zhou Zhengyang's meaning.

Concretization gives pollution sources a life form.

Since they are independent life forms, they naturally have good and bad distinctions.

These controllable sources of pollution are important to Bureau 749.

Therefore, Su Ming would not harm them.

In addition to these controllable sources of pollution.

There are two special-grade pollution sources.

【ID 103: Gray Shadow】

[Form: A humanoid, silver-gray phantom, with a tall and straight figure, no facial features, and fine, flowing lines on its body. It stands quietly in its normal state.]

[Abilities: Possesses top-notch logical thinking and deductive reasoning abilities, near-perfect memory, speaks clearly and logically, can communicate seamlessly with processors, and has provided technical support to the base on multiple occasions.]

The reason it wasn't defined as controllable is...

That's because its stance is very unstable.

Human emotional fluctuations can affect its form.

Therefore, it was contained in a sealed chamber that isolated it from all human emotional fluctuations, and only a designated number of people could communicate with it directly.

The next one is even more special.

[Number 407: PhD]

[Appearance: The elderly man with gray hair is in human form. His face is blurred and his features are indistinct. Only his old, thick, black-rimmed glasses are clearly visible and highly recognizable.]

[Ability: Extremely obsessed with all kinds of research, deduction, and calculation. Every once in a while, the processor will collect its calculation drafts. The vast majority of the content is unanalyzable and incomprehensible to humans.]

Su Ming opened the doctor's real-time monitoring screen.

Indeed, as the document stated, an elderly man wearing glasses was frantically writing and calculating inside the structural cabin with a pen in hand.

The page was covered with dense, twisted, and obscure formulas and symbols, layer upon layer, complex and intricate, making Su Ming dizzy.

I have absolutely no idea what it's calculating.

Zhou Zhengyang leaned closer to the screen and explained helplessly, "Your Majesty, we've been observing it for so many years, but we still don't understand what it's calculating."

"Even Dr. Chen can't understand what it's calculating."

hum-

A deep hum of the elevator filled the air as the metal doors slowly slid open to the sides.

Su Ming officially arrived at the underground base of 749.

The spacious hall was bustling with people, yet orderly.

Countless staff members perform their respective duties, operating various precision instruments.

In the center of the hall, there is a giant holographic screen.

The status data, energy fluctuations, and location information of all contained contaminants are displayed in real time on the screen.

Occasionally, a red light would suddenly flash.

The standby personnel will immediately don full protective gear and rush to the core sealed area to handle the crisis.

According to Zhou Zhengyang, this is the main control room for monitoring the data of the entire honeycomb.

In addition to the main control room, there are two secondary control rooms, a dedicated operations room, a research laboratory, a logistics support section, and other complete functional areas.

This place can be viewed as a fully functional, self-sufficient underground city.

Countless people who have worked here have even gotten married and had children here.

They dedicated their entire lives and efforts to this secretive cause of protection.

Only after death can one return to the earth with glory.

Zhou Zhengyang led Su Ming on a tour while explaining things to him.

"Most of them are highly educated individuals such as scholars and professors."

"After all, controlling, researching, and sealing off these sources of pollution requires extremely high intelligence and top-notch knowledge, which ordinary people simply cannot handle."

"Moreover, even after the seal is completed, the source of pollution will still emit subtle mental whispers, silently eroding people's minds."

"Prolonged contact with them will inevitably lead to erosion."

Su Ming nodded.

After the end of the 2016 daily chart, the correction in 2026 will also develop in this direction.

This underground base will appear in 2026.

The source of pollution contained in this underground foundation will also appear in 2026.

Bureau 749 can be regarded as the predecessor of the Anomalous Containment Facility.

Just like Chen Zhiwei murmured before, there will be no 2027.

Without the support of the timeline, the shelter can only continuously draw nourishment from the apocalyptic timeline to complete its self-renewal, and then give back the results to 2026.

However, there will be no 749th game in 2026.

This means that the 749 catastrophe may have been prevented at some point in the apocalypse.

This also means that Su Ming is getting closer and closer to 1996.

Su Ming snapped out of his thoughts and patted Zhou Zhengyang on the shoulder.

"Old Zhou, pick a few of the pollution sources that are currently at the highest risk and in the most unstable state."

He didn't come here to frantically absorb knowledge.

What's the difference between simply absorbing nutrients and replenishing one's own body?

What he really needs to do is absorb those unstable and extremely dangerous sources of pollution, thereby stabilizing the development of Bureau 749.

As for those controllable, stable, and unique sources of pollution, they possess sufficient value and are the core system of the anomalous containment facility.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengyang immediately beamed with joy.

As expected of the king.

The Great King is the only being capable of killing the source of the pollution.

But he knew that the king came from the future.

In each doomsday scenario, the Great King will only descend once.

This certainly fits the king's mysterious identity.

As for the queens, besides Yu Mengnian and Chen Zhiwei, there are only two queens who are fixed.

The other queens.

Only when a doomsday line disappears will it naturally be born.

The Queen was born in the past, but lives in the future.

The queen in 2016 was Bai Xinglan.

Speaking of the Queen.

Su Ming suddenly thought of Chen Zhiwei.

At this point, Chen Zhiwei still exists in 2016, meaning that she has not yet completed her transformation to ascend to Her throne in 2026.

Once he ascends to His position, Chen Zhiwei will transcend the limitations of time.

In other words.

When Su Ming broke the world's upper limit and severed the doomsday line of 2016.

The descent of the gods will end, and only then will Chen Zhiwei ascend to His position, bringing with him the second cleansing mechanism.

In all subsequent apocalyptic timelines, all traces of Chen Zhiwei will disappear.

Her disappearance means that all the cutting-edge technologies she developed will also disappear.

This includes a structural sealing chamber that contains sources of contamination.

This is the core of Bureau 749, once this technology disappears.

Both Bureau 749 in the apocalyptic timeline and the anomaly containment facility in the main timeline will suffer the most devastating blow in history, potentially leading to system collapse.

No wonder she proposed having a child with him in every doomsday scenario.

This is not an obsession.

It was her foresight.

It was the last insurance she left for the world.

It was also her own final act.

2016 was Chen Zhiwei's last remaining doomsday scenario, and also her only chance.

She wanted to use Su Ming to leave an indelible and indelible mark on Blue Star.

Only in this way, even if she disappears, the traces that once belonged to her will continue.

After figuring it out, Su Ming paused and suddenly turned to look at Zhou Zhengyang.

"Old Zhou."

"I've made up my mind, I want to have a child with Chen Zhiwei?"

Zhou Zhengyang, who was still earnestly introducing the layout of the base, suddenly caught his words in his throat and looked at him with a face full of question marks.

Is it that sudden?
