Industrial Cthulhu doesn't believe in the end times.

Chapter 38 is truly a talented individual, isn't he?
The last day of May, fifteen days before the end of the world begins, more than half a month has passed.

The printing plant leak issue took a long time to resolve, just in time for He Ping to return and give Zheng Yuan a severe scolding.

The issue wasn't a leak of secrets; the survival manuals were printed in huge quantities, and the factories were quite active. The fact that problems only emerged now is a testament to the considerable success of their work.

The criticism is that they didn't even realize that the person was there to swindle and deceive, and the matter was only resolved after it reached Su Xun.

"Where is your vigilance?" He Ping was furious. Zheng Yuan, a man of considerable age, was being lectured by him and was standing to the side like a primary school student.

"Hey, it's not that bad." Su Xun comforted him, "Everyone is eager to find the signs of the apocalypse right now, so it's normal for mistakes to happen. No one is perfect."

“The international situation has taken a huge turn because of my appearance. That person can just brush it off with a simple ‘I don’t know.’ Team Leader Zheng can’t remember it right now either. Given more time, he will find out.”

He Ping glared at Zheng Yuan: "Get out, get out of here right now, just looking at you makes me angry."

After he left, He Ping let out a long sigh.

"Fortunately, this leak was limited to a small area and was relatively easy to control; otherwise, much of our effort would have been wasted."

Su Xun nodded: "However, I think we can take this opportunity to open up some non-core content in advance so that the public can be prepared. The wartime control mechanism has begun to take shape after this period of promotion, and it will not be so easy for large-scale chaos to occur."

The power of rumors is immense, even when in one's own hands. A weak piece of information may cause little to no ripple, but a strong one can overturn a country.

When dealing with this issue, He Ping was extremely cautious: "I will discuss it with my superiors, and if it is feasible, I will prepare to get started."

He was still quite indignant at this point: "These people must be made an example of. Leaking secrets is punishable by death, and they even dared to try to deceive the security department. They have absolutely no regard for the law!"

Su Xun chuckled: "The one who leaked the secret will be severely punished, but the one who tricked you is quite the character. He mastered that manual so quickly. You should lock him up in a shelter."

He Ping nodded casually and brought up another matter.

"I'm here to tell you some news. Although there is still some renovation work to be done at the Taimon base, the main structure is nearing completion. Our people have already started moving in, and the Daily Project Team can move there by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. You can go there earlier, depending on your own arrangements."

"So soon?" Su Xun's eyes lit up. The coastal base was becoming increasingly unsuitable as a temporary office location as the work progressed. The sooner they moved there, the better it would be for the remaining work.

"I'll get my work done as soon as possible, and we'll move over there together tomorrow."

"it is good."

The message had been delivered, and He Ping was about to leave when he turned around and stopped. He turned back to look at Su Xun.

"Although Zheng Yuan did lose the necessary caution this time, I understand his urgency. Or rather, everyone's pressure has been increasing lately. Consultant Su, have you noticed anything unusual recently? Or do you feel anything special?"

"Indeed, no." Su Xun sighed and patted the mountain of reports beside him. "The intelligence I received was provided by Team Leader Zheng. If there were any issues, you would have known by now." In fact, that's the case. Not to mention ASEAN, Su Xun is currently the only reborn person in the world. No one else has awakened superpowers, and no one can see the secret realm appearing in advance.

For so many days, even Su Xun occasionally wondered if his past life was just an illusion, a grand dream. Zombies, mutated beasts, superhumans, and natural disasters all seemed to have faded away in the midst of his busy days. To say it was like a lifetime ago wouldn't be accurate, because it truly felt like a lifetime ago.

Have there been any significant objections?

He Ping said helplessly, "There are some differing opinions within the military, who think you don't understand military matters. Other aspects are fine. The dissenting voices mainly come from outside the plan and don't have much impact on us."

“All the projects in the Kuafu plan are proceeding in an orderly manner. Everyone is well aware that it’s better to believe it than not. However, as time goes on, many people inevitably start to feel anxious.”

Su Xun understood this feeling very well. In fact, he himself was also anxious. Every decision he made now would affect the lives of billions of people in ASEAN and even the world. If all of this was based on an unverifiable and unfalsifiable foundation, it would be extremely agonizing for everyone.

He composed himself and said to He Ping, "Even if we can't find any signs, we must not let our guard down. There are comrades on another front making backup plans. For us, the most important task is to do this task well."

"Please ask Director He to communicate with them as soon as possible and do some ideological work with the comrades involved in the plan."

He Ping nodded in agreement. After he left, the entire project team got busy. Even if a large unit with a wide scope and a large scale didn't have any heavy assets, relocating would be quite troublesome. The fact that Zhu Ri was able to move so quickly shows that they had been preparing for this.

There is much to wrap up, and much more to prepare.

By the time he finally finished his work, it was already late at night, and Su Xun finally allowed himself a moment to relax.

Accompanied by Jiang Yi, he went to the seaside and looked into the distance.

The vast sea was unusually silent in the moonless night, with only the shimmering ripples reflecting the lights of the base, which glittered and sparkled.

Layer upon layer of waves lapped against the breakwater of the harbor. On this seaside in May and June, the summer night breeze was actually quite gentle, relieving the heat and feeling like a pair of delicate hands caressing the face.

In this tranquility, Su Xun recalled the most powerful and terrifying natural disaster of his past life.

The catastrophe of Auschwitz awakens from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, appearing as a giant whale capable of unleashing tsunamis that engulf the continent.

In his previous life, Su Xun died from an attack by this being, as a giant wave containing immense power leveled the entire coastal city.

He was not born in any particular myth, nor does he appear in all myths. This being was born from people's fear of oceans and floods, bringing enormous pressure and threats to all living things along the entire ocean coast and even other natural disasters.

If a zombie horde like Mashihai could be prepared for in advance, then to defeat Oswell, the only option is to race against it and acquire the power to contend with it before it awakens.

"Let's go to Mount Tai, we still have a lot to do."
