I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

Wang Wei put down his phone with a cold laugh.

Trying to extract information about the catastrophe from him? That's wishful thinking!

He got up and walked towards the French windows in the living room.

Outside the window, the sky was a rusty reddish-yellow, showing no signs of improvement and instead becoming even darker and more gloomy.

The trees in the neighborhood swayed precariously with the strange wind.

Wang Wei squinted and observed carefully for a while; the wind was gradually increasing.

Aside from the previous distribution of supplies, no other official announcements have been issued.

The online uproar continues, with many people still engaged in heated discussions.

Some of this information caught Wang Wei's attention.

Some people bypassed the Great Firewall to access foreign websites and discovered that various abnormal weather events were also occurring abroad.

However, the strange weather patterns varied from one to another.

Heavy rains have been falling on the west coast for two days and two nights.

A sudden blizzard hit the Nordic countries, and temperatures plummeted to below minus thirty degrees Celsius.

Frost has appeared in the equatorial region... Reports of death and injury have come from various countries.

Only now do people realize with horror that this is a global catastrophe!

Many people left messages on the official weather bureau's account, trying to find out what was going on.

However, there has been no official response.

Unbeknownst to the average person, meteorological bureaus around the world were in complete disarray.

Climate change defies common sense and has no discernible pattern whatsoever.

They had no idea how these unusual weather phenomena were generated, nor when they would end.

Wang Wei scrolled through the screen expressionlessly.

He is the only one who knows the truth.

Not only do they know what will happen next, but they also know how to deal with it.

But in this life, he is determined to remain an observer.

I'll never be foolish enough to try and be some kind of savior again!

It wasn't until late at night that Wang Wei's mood began to fluctuate slightly.

He watched the clock tick closer and closer to midnight.

"clang--"

It's exactly twelve o'clock.

That familiar voice rang out again:

"Successfully survived the second day of the disaster, gaining 1 safe point."

"call--"

Wang Wei let out a long breath and looked at his innate ability.

Safe House (Growth Type)

Rating: SSS

Effect: Activating the innate ability, it can create an absolute safety zone within an area of ​​200 square meters. Within the safe zone, the host is in an absolutely invincible state.

Limitations: Safe houses cannot be moved in real time; the lifespan of a safe house is 4 days; and the ability can be used every 3 day.

Details: Upgrade requires 2 safety points.

According to this pattern, he can gain one safety point for every day he survives in the catastrophe.

As long as he keeps hiding, he can continuously upgrade his safe house!

His safe house will be upgraded again after tomorrow.

Wang Wei was very satisfied with the result.

Wang Wei returned to his bedroom to rest, but his phone rang again; it was from an unknown number.

Who is it?

Wang Wei answered the phone, and a deep voice came from the other end:

"Mr. Wang Wei, this is Du Wei from the National Security Bureau."

"Dewey from the Security Bureau?" Wang Wei was taken aback; he was familiar with the name.

In my previous life, there was such a person in the Human Alliance, who was one of the main people in charge of the early establishment of the alliance!

"Is there something you need?" Wang Wei replied calmly.

Dewey said calmly, "We have gathered some information indicating that you stockpiled some supplies before this unusual weather."

"Excuse me," Dewey's voice lowered slightly, "have you awakened some kind of ability?"

"No," Wang Wei shook his head. "It was just a coincidence."

However, Dewey said, "Ordinary people don't mortgage their homes or even borrow money at high interest rates to stockpile supplies."

Dewey had clearly done some investigation and knew a lot about Wang Wei's situation.

Wang Wei was not surprised by this.

For them, it's not difficult to find out these things.

"Mr. Wang Wei, please don't misunderstand." Dewey's tone turned sincere. "I'm calling to formally invite you—if you have truly awakened your abilities, the National Security Agency cordially invites you to join the 'Human Awakened Alliance'."

The Alliance of Awakened Humans.

These seven words pierced Wang Wei's heart like needles.

Wang Wei never expected that this organization would be established so quickly in this life without his warning!

"I'm sorry," Wang Wei replied, "I haven't awakened any abilities."

"It seems you still have some concerns," Dewey's voice rang out again, but the content had changed. "I see you've stockpiled some emergency generators and cold-weather clothing. Will our country experience extremely cold weather later?"

"I don't know," Wang Wei replied, still completely clueless.

Dewey emphasized on the other end of the phone: "If you possess crucial intelligence, it could concern the lives of hundreds of millions of our compatriots. I hope you can prioritize the greater good."

It's the same old routine again!

A sense of disgust rose in Wang Wei's heart.

In his previous life, he did it all for the greater good... but ended up becoming a pawn of the alliance.

Wang Wei's voice was as cold as ice: "I am very willing to contribute to all mankind."

He paused, then said, word by word:

"But I really don't know anything."

A long silence fell on the other end of the phone.

"I understand," Dewey finally spoke, his tone devoid of emotion. "Then I've bothered you. If you change your mind, or... remember anything, please feel free to contact this number."

The call has ended.

Three people were sitting in Conference Room 1 of the National Emergency Command Center.

Dewey put down the phone with a grave expression. "You all heard it too, he knows nothing anymore."

"Impossible," a woman stood up. "According to my data model, Wang Wei's purchasing list... is too targeted."

"It's impossible to purchase these things without prior information!"

Dewey spoke up, "If he doesn't speak up now, what other options are there?"

After saying that, Dewey looked at the other person and asked, "How are the Awakened statistics?"

The middle-aged man spoke up, "We currently know of 1318 awakened individuals, who have been brought over one after another, and we are currently organizing their different awakened abilities."

"Okay," Dewey nodded. "Continue collecting. The Awakened are our only asset in the fight against the cataclysm."

"Do we need to follow up on Wang Wei's situation?" the woman pressed.

"Let's wait and see," Dewey said in a deep voice. "Aren't there enough people who are only after their own interests?"

"That's true," the woman agreed. "There must be some awakened individuals hiding who haven't reported it."

.......

On the other side, Wang Wei put down his phone and walked to the window.

The city was still lit up with tens of thousands of lights in the night, but Wang Wei knew that before long, these lights would go out one by one.

The wind seemed to howl outside the window, as if it were mourning the impending disaster.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Wang Wei's lips.

Let whoever is willing to sacrifice for this "big picture" go ahead...
