Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

However, even with the need to relocate, the difficulty was right here.

"A mass migration of hundreds of millions of people in this kind of climate? The number of deaths on the road would be horrendous! We need the Legion to back us up, otherwise, we'll all be dead before we even reach our destination!"

"Let the forces from Mao Country assist, and the relocation could also head there—they won't refuse the labor force under these circumstances."

"We have no issues, but we suggest that the strong and healthy young people go first; it's cruel, but those who survive still have to face the trials that come after." The representative from Mao Country gave their response.

Whether it's the Underground City project or the Wind Wall project, a substantial amount of manpower is needed to combat these trials.

Now, the population already needs to be concentrated, every city is running at full capacity, but facing this trial, staying in the towns means a swift death and turning into the Undead.

"Gentlemen, let's not only focus on Japan, the situation is just as bad in other places." Someone continued, with a very grim face, "In one area of the Eastern Country, which is right between several major cities, the number of disaster victims will directly reach twenty million, and the Northern Alliance isn't faring any better, with two areas affected that are even close to each other.

See here, this place is the Northern Alliance's most important traffic hub, and it will be completely blocked by blizzards, these countries with a combined population of forty million will be trapped in a corner, no supplies will get through, damn it, how is this different from waiting to die?"

As for the last place, it is not in West State but in another sparsely populated land area, where the disaster impact happens to be the lightest.

It's arguably the luckiest spot.

Yet, even so, these six initial blizzards will directly threaten over two hundred million people!

And this is just the beginning!

The meeting fell into silence, but it was short-lived as everyone quickly sprang back into action.

They sent out early warning information to responsible persons in various areas, reported the intelligence to Shen Hao, and at the same time, some previously determined projects quickly identified their target locations and began to take action.

Of the most noteworthy, there were two.

One was the City Wind Wall project led by Buschplin Rollins, with the experimental site chosen to be Gertrude City in the Northern Alliance, which could accommodate six million people and was also one of the cities hit by this first onslaught of blizzards.

The other was the Underground City project led by Ni Hong, located in a place called An Yuan City in the Eastern Country, also a city affected by the disaster, with a resident population of four million.

One of these projects had a high probability of completion, but the effectiveness was uncertain, while the other had a slim chance of completion!

Though both were only experimental projects, there was no doubt they were also taking huge risks!

Especially Ni Hong's project, where the construction workers involved could reach millions!

If it failed, the consequences would be unthinkable.

But such experiments were necessary, as they will determine the latest methods to save the entire civilization in the future.

Furthermore, aside from these two, several other projects were also underway simultaneously, such as constructing dense superstructures on the surface with new heating materials and connecting them with heating ducts, to make the most of the existing urban buildings.

Moreover, Japan's mass evacuation project was also put under the charge of someone named Kandai Ino, and this was the most dangerous task; the entire Global Unified Association was on high alert, with tens of millions of people facing the danger of death!

In addition to these disaster-affected populations, other people around the world were not sitting idle.

As soon as Shen Hao determined the main thrust of the Trial as the "Eternal Night Ice River" two days ago, industries around the world once again underwent changes.

Many factories originally transitioning to military production suddenly started to shift towards heavy industry!

Notably, various large machines. Explore more at empire

Even Shen Hao's recently earned points had a lot invested in this aspect!

Mining of various mineral resources, especially metals, accelerated, and super-large smelting factories started operating frantically, some managers collapsing under the immense pressure, the entire civilization's nerves taut to the breaking point!

And in this situation, there were those who were entrusted with a mission amid peril, bearing far greater pressures than ordinary people.

Ni Hong was undoubtedly a prime example!

He had arrived at An Yuan City the moment he received the orders.

At that time, the city's temperature had dropped to minus five degrees Celsius, which for a southern city like this was an exceedingly rare experience—even the thick clothes were inadequate, only recently rushed in due to the circumstances.

On the streets, one could see many people with blankets and thick clothes among their luggage boarding one large bus after another.

They were evacuating.

But at the same time, one could see one large bus after another arriving, with people getting off the buses.

They were workers dispatched to participate in construction!

Under these circumstances, each and every one of them deserved to be called a warrior!

Two roads diverged, one leaving, the other arriving, as if forming an intersection of destiny and courage.

Some of the people from An Yuan City even hung their heads low, their faces flushed red, not daring to look at these workers.

But there were also some who suddenly turned their heads, leaving the evacuation lines! They headed toward another crew that was recruiting!

Ni Hong even saw a person who dropped their luggage and shouted loudly:

"Damn it! We people from An Yuan City can't be cowards! I'm not leaving!"

The person's voice was loud, attracting the attention of quite a few people, and clearly struck a chord with some.

More and more people began to step out of the evacuation lines, various voices rising.

"That's right, this is our homeland!"

"Others from different places are rushing over here, and we natives are running away, how ludicrous!"

"Good son, go ahead with your mom. Watch how your dad fights for a certain chance at survival for both of you!"

"We're just going to work, not to fight a war. What's there to be afraid of!"

"I'm not going anywhere! I'm staying right here!"

"..."

Ni Hong even saw a man in his forties drop to his knees before his parents in the snow, bowing several times, then without a word, he covered his head and made his way to the nearby registration point.

This scene made Ni Hong clench his fists tightly.

"Look at them, look at these people!" he turned to the group behind him, raising his fist and speaking out loud, "They are placing their hopes and trust in us, the entire country stands behind us, President Shen Hao supports us as well! This Underground City, bearing the weight of life, no matter the cost, we must build it!

Our names, and those of everyone here, will be inscribed within this city, etched in the grand narrative of Human Civilization's struggle!"

He had never, like now, understood so clearly that in this fight, they could only win, they absolutely could not fail!

And those behind him, too, clenched their fists, each staring at him resolutely in the cold wind.

Just like a group of warriors looking at their General!

"Now, to battle!" Ni Hong roared for the last time and swiftly got into action. "You had a subway construction plan three years ago, with preliminary surveys done. Send me the survey report!"

"It's already been prepared," a local staff member responded just as quickly.

The snow and wind beat against everyone's faces, as if it struck their hearts as well, but at least at that moment, it could not snuff out the burning passion within them.

And Ni Hong, without saying anything more, took the survey report and quickly made a decision after carefully examining it.

"Start digging from here!" he directly started marking circles on the map one after another, "And here, and here, all these places, we need to dig down five hundred meters! The diameter must exceed three hundred meters! The surrounding areas of the deep pit must be completely reinforced with high-strength materials, at least three meters thick!

Use the latest equipment for everything; get it done as fast as possible!"

In just a short moment, he had marked over twenty locations.

There was no time for on-site surveys or detailed blueprints!

He could only rely on decades of work experience and instinct to choose the most suitable locations!

Then the rest was left to manpower and technology!

In fact, if this were the past, a five hundred meter deep pit like this would have presented colossal construction difficulties—it's five hundred meters deep, far exceeding an average hundred-story skyscraper. Not to mention excavating such a deep pit!

But in the present time, it was indeed possible to achieve this in a short period!

Ni Hong, as the supreme Commander on the battlefield, gave his orders, and the workers on the front lines started working at top speed!

There was already a large amount of advanced construction equipment continuously flown in by the super-sized transport planes purchased during the war period.

Most of these machines utilized the latest technology from the Chosen One Mall, with strength and efficiency far surpassing the past. More importantly, many components had been directly converted from old production lines, requiring no excessive expenditure of points, allowing for mass production on a large scale!

The production lines were already at full capacity, with even more being accelerated for conversion.

In this "war," these machines were the warriors' tanks, their powerful weapons!

Just the new excavators alone, there were more than fifty at each construction site, coupled with over a hundred transport trucks, equipment for distributing new construction materials, logistics, and more. The workforce at each construction site exceeded three thousand people!

Just from this first command, more than sixty thousand people were simultaneously engaged in this environment of ice and snow.

But within two hours, Ni Hong realized that it was not enough, far from enough.

The efficiency was too slow.

Even though the efficiency of the new equipment was much greater than before and related technology had also seen significant advancement, it was still too slow!

He only had eight days. Eight days to at least create a framework, a framework that would allow tens of thousands to continue construction amidst the blizzard!
