I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Near the Twin Ginkgo Trees on the other side, Lu Qingqing, General Li, and others entered into the dream.

Five years have passed, and the Twin Ginkgo Trees have once again grown significantly, reaching a height of 35 meters and a diameter of 6 meters, truly deserving of the name "High-level Extraordinary Plants."

The colorful parasol leaves, as if painted with watercolor crayons, evoke a sense of dreamland.

General Li has also risen to Level 4, making him one of the most outstanding talents in the resource-poor Safe Zone.

"We're finally about to open the Safe Zone."

"Yunhai City is at a critical moment of life and death, we must contact your brother now." General Li and a dozen other staff members lay in hibernation tanks, while the hypnotists around them led them into the dream.

Lu Qingqing murmured to herself, "Haven't seen him for a long time, wonder what he's been busy with…"

She closed her eyes and also entered the "Wutong Dream."

Now, the Wutong Dream is even more realistic than three years ago, with vividly lifelike grass and some insects crawling in the soil.

Fearing that the dream communication might be detected by the Frost Mist Demon, Yunhai City had no communication with Lu Yuan during those three years.

General Li picked up a small opium poppy branch, gently exhaled a breath of qi, and began to meditate: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, can you hear me?"

This opium poppy branch, unused for a long time, appeared somewhat shriveled, emitting a faint glow.

...

Unfortunately, the "opium poppy branch", which had always worked like a charm, failed to establish contact with Lu Yuan this time.

The reason was… too far, truly too distant.

Simply put, Green Grass City, situated in the territory of the Rize Civilization, is located in an underground rift.

Now, Green Grass City has moved to the distant Northern Territory, with a void in between.

The "opium poppy branch" is merely a small branch within the dream, not a real entity; its supernatural power is difficult to connect to the distant opium poppy tree—something that even Lu Yuan didn't anticipate initially.

"Can't establish contact…" General Li looked pale.

But the arrow is on the string and has to be fired; even without establishing contact, the plan must proceed.

...

...

Yunhai City, Supernatural Laboratory.

The general manager, Professor Zhang Hui, was participating in the most critical international meeting.

The spokesperson for the Ninth Human Branch, Digdit from Lingbo City, spoke on the screen with solemnity: "Everyone, this is a crucial moment of life and death for us. To overcome the Demon, each city must do its utmost."

"We must activate the Safe Zones sequentially, launching a joint attack at the fastest speed."

"Any hesitation will lead to the slaughter of a city by the Demon, trapping us in a catastrophic situation with no rescue for the human race! You should understand the gravity of this!"

The atmosphere was grave, and the faces of the participants were severe.

"The time within the Safe Zone, 12 o'clock noon, is our agreed-upon time for Xini City to first open the Safe Zone." Digdit lowered his voice.

"The Demon has appeared near our city again. Xini City, being 40,000 kilometers away, will not be detected… Xini City's task is transporting the Pandora Crystal Stone."

"We in Lingbo City will be the last to activate our Safe Zone, confronting directly, but without a hydrogen bomb, we can only hold out for a limited time."

Digdit outlined the entire plan in detail… Well, in fact, it had been discussed many times already.

Experts, military personnel, and security scientists in Yunhai City had always felt that this kind of cooperation seemed unreliable.

What if a coward emerges in the middle?

What if the Frost Mist Demon relocates its territory?

No one knew how prepared these cities truly were…

Whether planes or missiles existed, although they did appear in videos, there was still uncertainty about whether errors would occur!

Furthermore, convincing the public to open the Safe Zone was already an outrageous task!

Ultimately, Yunhai City's trust in its brother cities was not high.

But there was no choice; at this moment, belief was the only option.

"These cities shouldn't be playing with their own lives at stake." This was the common perception among many scholars in Yunhai City.

"Cooperation is better than fighting alone."

Even if Yunhai City had a hydrogen bomb, would it truly be able to kill the Demon? Nobody knew the answer.

"…Well, let me now discuss the specific combat details." Another white-skinned officer spoke on the screen, "First thing, before deactivating the Safe Zone, we must destroy this communicator."

"This conference is the last one; henceforth, we'll communicate via telegraph."

"Regardless of whether the existence of this communicator is benign or malicious, it must be destroyed."

The people nodded one after another.

"Second thing, after Xini City opens the Safe Zone, it must promptly deliver the 'Pandora Crystal Stone' to all major participating cities using high-speed aircraft."

"These include Yunhai City, London, Barry, Rome, New York City… and Old Deli, these six major participating cities."

"Once the Pandora Crystal Stone is obtained, all the floating fortresses will be activated as quickly as possible."

"Resource-based cities must deliver fuel to designated locations…"

Many experts in Yunhai City took a deep breath, feeling that despite the numerous simulations, this plan was still too precise.

But… it's the only option.

Yunhai City had already built floating fortresses, and there were two of them!
