He paused, seemingly trying to compose himself.
"We even had a head-on collision with him, which destroyed several of our fighter jets."
The already tense atmosphere in the conference room froze instantly, as if the air itself had been sucked away.
Director Wang's words were like a tidal wave, shattering everyone's psychological defenses.
Those delegates who were usually confrontational and had a strong presence at meetings turned pale instantly, as if all the blood had been drained from their faces.
"What did you say?"
"I can't believe it," a representative from a marine conservation organization asked in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"god?"
The others also stood up in shock and questioned him.
"A god as invincible and terrifying as the one in the current ghost story world?!"
"How is that possible! Our world is completely different from the world of ghost stories! How can there be the same god?!"
"Director Wang, I advise you not to talk nonsense and deliberately say such shocking things!"
Director Wang nodded slowly and continued.
"I haven't revealed my experiences in the Nika tribe to the outside world yet."
Director Wang is straightforward and speaks his mind without hesitation.
They completely concealed the fact that they had taken the initiative.
A deathly silence fell; everyone in the conference room seemed to have forgotten to breathe.
The news was so shocking that no one could react immediately.
Sakura's body began to tremble slightly, and his face revealed deep fear and self-blame.
Their country had been quietly emitting pollutants for some time.
Now it seems that this behavior may have angered some unknown entity.
Moreover, this divine retribution usually begins in coastal cities!
Wait a minute?
Our cherry blossoms seem to be surrounded by the sea on all sides, don't they?
Does that mean we can just wait to die?
"Director Wang, may I ask... what does this mean?"
General Xiong asked in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit and a hint of fear.
"This means that we are facing more than just an environmental pollution problem."
Wang Ju's voice grew even heavier.
“There are clearly some forces on our blue planet that we cannot understand or resist.”
For example, Sanxingdui?
For example, the Mayan prophecies?
For example, the once glorious Atlantis?
For example, what exactly is in the 95% of the ocean that has not been explored by humans?
Even the 5% that has been detected so far is enough for current research on Earth to continue for a very long time.
"Where is that altar located?" someone asked.
"The coordinates are there."
Director Wang didn't hide anything and openly told everyone the location information he had measured earlier.
Clearly, he wanted to get everyone on board.
After all, they had already taken the initiative to attack "God". If God were conscious, He would definitely target their Dragon Kingdom first.
Therefore, Director Wang's primary task now is to persuade them to also test the strength of that altar.
Thinking of this, Director Wang stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the conference room, his tone firm and powerful.
"Now that people from various countries have arrived, let's discuss what to do with this altar."
His proposal was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Immediately, representatives from various countries expressed their opinions.
The general from the Xiong Kingdom spoke first.
"We can consider sending special forces to conduct ground reconnaissance and intervene if necessary."
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone objected.
"It's too dangerous. We know nothing about that place, and acting blindly will only lead to our deaths."
A representative from the Eurasian Union, dressed in a sharp suit, stepped forward. He adjusted his glasses and spoke with an air of technological confidence.
"I believe we should utilize drone technology for unmanned reconnaissance, which can minimize casualties."
His words immediately garnered support from some people.
The discussion intensified, with some suggesting the use of satellites for monitoring and others recommending that the UN Security Council intervene to coordinate.
Some have even suggested using nuclear weapons as a preemptive strike.
But every option has its risks and uncertainties, and the atmosphere in the meeting room grew increasingly heavy.
"Let's give it a try anyway."
Chapter 548 The Sleeping Specimen
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiao and his group had already embarked on their journey to the laboratory.
With a hint of guilt, the rescue team leader pointed out the way.
The group was heavy-hearted, but also filled with determination.
During the journey, Jiang Xiao's thoughts raced.
He tried to find connections among these fragmented pieces of information, to find the clue that could unravel all the mysteries.
Finally, after several hours of trekking,
They arrived at the place known as the secret laboratory.
It was hidden in a crevice of a seemingly small boulder in the suburbs, surrounded by overgrown weeds and the like.
At first glance, it seems normal, with almost no signs of anyone having entered.
The rescue team leader noticed the doubt and distrust on everyone's faces, so he spoke softly.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. This is indeed the entrance to the laboratory, but for the sake of secrecy, everything is being done discreetly."
After saying that, he reached out and lightly pressed a button on his chest.
With a low, mechanical whirring sound, the seemingly solid boulder slowly flipped over, revealing a passage about the height of a person.
The passageway is reinforced with reinforced concrete, making it appear exceptionally solid and contrasting sharply with the surrounding desolate environment.
Everyone watched this scene in astonishment, and couldn't help but look at the rescue team leader with new respect, while their curiosity about this mysterious laboratory grew even stronger.
Two uniformed guards suddenly appeared on either side of the passage.
They gripped their weapons tightly, their expressions serious.
But when their gaze fell upon the rescue team leader and saw him with a group of outsiders, their faces instantly turned pale with shock.
"Captain, why did you bring outsiders here?"
One of the guards stammered, his voice trembling with obvious panic.
The rescue team leader answered expressionlessly.
“The situation is special; they’re here to help. Just let them through.”
The guards exchanged glances, clearly in a difficult position, but under the resolute gaze of the rescue captain, they finally stepped aside to make way.
"Oh? I didn't realize you, a mere clerk, had so much power to just let things pass?"
Faced with Shi Shi's teasing, the rescue team leader chuckled twice, indicating that he still had some influence within the base.
Everyone else was well aware of this.
If he weren't in a high position, he certainly wouldn't have access to things like wastewater.
Jiang Xiao and the others followed the rescue team leader through the passage and into the laboratory.
The scene inside was shocking:
The lighting was dim, and various instruments and pipelines were intricately distributed around the perimeter. In the center was a huge water tank, in which some objects emitting blue light were submerged.
The rescue team leader pointed to the water tank and said.
"Those are the strange creatures we found in the deep ocean, and their deaths may be the cause of this disaster."
