Chapter 192 Changes
Secretary Li:
"Everything has been implemented. All major military industrial enterprises are currently operating at full capacity, in three shifts, without interruption!"
The Second Leader nodded in satisfaction, then turned and strode towards his office.
"Now that things are settled on Terra and military equipment is being produced, the soldiers naturally need to keep up!"
His voice was firm and resounding.
"Order all military regions to immediately select their best soldiers and be ready at any time to march on the continent of Terra!"
"Remember, secrecy is of paramount importance; not a single word must be leaked!"
Secretary Li, with a solemn expression, said loudly:
"Understood, we will absolutely not leak a single piece of information to foreign countries!"
Second-in-Command: "Simultaneously recall veterans!"
"The international situation is tense right now, and we also need to attack the demon race in another world. We're short-handed, so we must prepare in advance!"
Secretary Li: "Understood! I'll arrange it right away!"
Number Two nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's set up a video conference later and invite the other four!"
"I'm going to share this amazing news with those four old guys. I wonder if they'll be absolutely stunned!"
"Hahaha......"
Number Two's hearty and energetic laughter echoed in the corridor for a long time.
......
The surface of Bell City.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the daytime heat finally subsided, and the distorted air began to cool down.
The cracked earth radiated its last warmth.
The surface is no longer suitable for life.
During the day it's a hellish place that can bake you alive, and at night the temperature will plummet to below zero.
Zheng Nengliang lives in the shadow of his rented apartment.
“Ding Di—”
The old cell phone in my pocket vibrated.
Zheng Nengliang raised his hand, turned on the screen, and a message appeared.
[Notification from the Bell City "Ark" Underground City Management Bureau: Mr. Zheng Nengliang, your third batch of entry qualifications has been activated at 14:00 today. Please bring your personal identification documents and report to Entrance No. 7 within three hours. Failure to do so will be considered an automatic waiver.]
He stared at the line of text for a full ten seconds.
Then, he suddenly stood up.
The movement was so fast that my vision went black for a moment.
He leaned against the wall, grinned, and smiled happily.
Finally... it was his turn.
He harbored no resentment towards the government whatsoever.
Prioritizing the elderly and children is a fair rule.
His mother and son went in a week ago.
Now this family is about to be complete.
……
One hour later, at the seventh entrance to the underground city.
The massive alloy gate stood like a silent cliff, with sentries standing at the entrance, rifles in hand, their postures ramrod straight.
The long queue moved forward silently and in an orderly fashion.
"Identity verification".
Zheng Nengliang placed his ID card on the sensor.
"Zheng Nengliang, 32 years old, registered resident of Bell City, veteran... Information correct, entry permitted!"
The cold, electronic sound, to Zheng Nengliang at that moment, was more powerful than anything else.
boom--
The gate, which was ten meters thick, slid open slowly to both sides.
A cool breeze carrying the fragrance of earth swept over us.
Zheng Nengliang subconsciously took a deep breath, feeling as if his lungs had been cleansed, and his spirits were greatly lifted.
He stepped inside.
The intense light made him squint.
When he opened his eyes again, he was frozen in place.
Instead of the oppressive rock formations overhead, there was a huge dome projection simulating blue sky and white clouds, with even slowly drifting clouds.
A single artificial sun lamp casts a soft light.
The wide streets were clean and tidy, and the pedestrians walked briskly, their faces bearing an expression of "hope" that Zheng Nengliang had not seen for a long time.
A little boy wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts ran past him, holding a melting ice cream cone and laughing.
Zheng Nengliang stopped in his tracks.
Ice cream... He hadn't seen it in two years.
Countless quiet new energy vehicles silently shuttle between towering buildings.
This is not an underground city.
This is clearly a completely new world that was preserved intact and then moved underground.
It's like two different dimensions from the desolate surface.
"New here, huh? Don't just stand there, follow the navigation in the app."
An older man passing by patted him on the shoulder and pointed to his phone.
Zheng Nengliang snapped out of his daze and quickly opened the "Bell Ark" app.
Navigation is now enabled, planning your route to the 'C-7 Dormitory'.
He followed the navigation and arrived at a brand new dormitory building.
"Zheng Nengliang, right? Here, your bedding, toiletries, and tray are all here." The dormitory supervisor efficiently stuffed everything into his arms.
"Dormitory 302, the other three have gone to work, you can settle in first."
The dormitory is a four-person room, bright and clean, with a comfortable temperature, which is infinitely better than home on the ground.
After settling his luggage, Zheng Nengliang immediately turned on the family location function in the app.
Following the directions, he first arrived at a huge light industrial factory.
Through the spotless viewing glass, he immediately saw his mother.
Her hair was neatly combed as she sat at a workbench, chatting and laughing with the female workers around her while skillfully hand-packing some delicate electronic components.
Zheng Nengliang walked to the glass and gently tapped on it.
His mother looked up, saw him, and immediately stopped what she was doing.
She said something to her coworker next to her and quickly walked out.
"Nengli, you're here." His mother walked up to him, looked him up and down, and said in a slightly trembling voice.
"Mom." Zheng Nengliang forced a smile.
"Are you settling in well here?"
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it! Everything's fine here." The mother's eyes were a little red, but she quickly held them back.
"Having meat at every meal and hot showers anytime is a hundred times better than living up there."
"Don't worry about me, go and see Xiaohu, that child talks about you every day."
"Yes." Zheng Nengliang nodded vigorously.
After saying goodbye to his mother, he followed the navigation to a place with a sign that read "Hope Primary School".
On the huge indoor playground, children are playing dodgeball under the guidance of their physical education teacher.
The brand-new synthetic track and the lush green artificial turf all seemed so unreal.
"Dad, you're here!!"
"I miss you so much, Dad!"
A chubby-faced little boy spotted him, ran over quickly, and excitedly waved his little hand through the railing.
Zheng Nengliang looked at his son's face, which was covered in sweat but had a bright smile, and he smiled too.
He walked to the railing and listened to his son chattering about the interesting things that happened at school and how delicious the braised pork in the cafeteria was.
Life is really getting better.
A sense of peace he had never felt before filled his chest.
After saying goodbye to his son, Zheng Nengliang followed the APP's guidance and arrived at the "Underground City Residents Job Assignment Center".
The hall was crowded, but orderly.
"Next up, Zheng Nengliang."
He walked to the window, and the staff retrieved his file.
"Zheng Nengliang, former sergeant of the third term of the 'Snow Wolf' Special Operations Brigade."
"Proficient in mechanical repair and heavy firepower operation... File approved."
The staff member looked up at him.
"Comrade, given your resume, we have a special arrangement for you."
Zheng Nengliang: "???"
