The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

The USB drive contains the highest level of access to the 3D printer. As for the 16 robots, they will not obey your orders, but they will protect everything in the shelter.

The group froze for a moment. Old Blake frowned and asked, "Boss, what do you mean by this?"

“I’m leaving,” Lu Qianwei interrupted directly, “and I won’t be coming back!”

From today onwards, Maple Ridge Shelter belongs to you. What you discuss and decide from now on is your business, and has nothing to do with me!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. To be honest, if they were the leaders and had such a good shelter, they would never have given it up.

Karen suddenly stood up: "Boss, where are you going?"

Or is there something we did wrong?

"You built this place, and everyone will only respect you—"

"I have places I want to go, and it has nothing to do with whether you do a good job or not."

Of course, I will explain everything clearly to everyone in the shelter before I leave, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings for your comrades.

Lu Qianwei had carefully selected this group of people based on their character, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he did not believe the shelter would cause internal strife.

After briefly explaining the future development direction to them, Lu Qianwei left gracefully.

…………

The East Coast, due to its strict customs system and its close monitoring of the movements of countries around the world.

China's response was remarkably swift; in the early stages of the zombie outbreak around the world, China had already raised its alert level to the highest level!

A set of unconventional public safety emergency plans that have been in use for nearly a century were activated at full speed.

From the national disease control center to township health clinics, a four-tiered response system is implemented at each level, covering all formal ports of entry and non-customs-controlled coastal and border trails...

The entire area was completely sealed off by the garrison and control teams. Infrared satellites, ground monitoring, and mobile radar formed an impenetrable net, so that not only could a smuggling boat not escape detection, but even a bird with body heat could not cross the border.

Even passengers on flights that flew back from abroad a few days ago were almost all traced and placed in centralized quarantine along with those they came into contact with; even the flight crew were not exempt.

In less than a week, from municipalities to provincial capitals, from prefecture-level cities to remote counties, and even the most basic villages and communities, all completed the control and management arrangements for this extraordinary period.

Each town entrance has a double-layered checkpoint. All outsiders must show their identity, register their travel history, and have their physical signs checked. Anyone without legal documents will be turned back.

Community grid workers went door-to-door to investigate and register all residents who had traveled abroad within the past two weeks, and conducted door-to-door testing and health monitoring.

All cinemas, theaters, shopping malls and other crowded places have been shut down, schools have suspended classes, businesses that do not provide essential services have implemented staggered production schedules, and the public is urged to avoid going out and gathering unless absolutely necessary.

The central reserves of grain, drinking water, and emergency medicines have long been distributed to various places along the national road network. Even if there is a three-month lockdown, the people will not lack food or supplies.

No one dares to compromise on this system, because the outside world has already fallen into chaos in such a short time.

Having witnessed such scenes, everyone from grassroots controllers to street-level officials was on high alert.

When Lu Qianwei landed in an airship from the southeastern peninsula, he discovered that these areas still had significant residual hydrogen bomb radiation energy.

Goodness, I know exactly what's going on without even thinking about it.

However, if it were him, facing such a vast border, this would be the fastest way to deal with the zombie threat.

The cold wind howled high in the sky, but Lu Qianwei's airship was not invisible. He did not believe that the technology of this world could detect him.

As it turned out, things still proved him wrong. Facing a tense state apparatus, Lu Qianwei's spaceship was discovered by the naked eye.

As soon as the airship entered the area within twenty miles of the outer edge of China's airspace, three communication frequencies pierced through the howling wind at high altitudes, carrying the unique coldness, toughness, and unquestionable solemnity of soldiers, and directly entered the airship's communication receiver.

[This is the Southeast Theater Command Border Air Defense Command of China. Warning: Unknown aircraft in the airspace!]

[You have intruded into our designated airspace without permission. Immediately cease all forward operations!]

[Immediately halt in place and prohibit any further approach to our border defense line!]

Repeat, do not approach the boundary!

During the time he was speaking, nearly forty fighter jets flew over and surrounded him.

What else could Lu Qianwei say? He naturally agreed to cooperate rigorously with the other party in exercising territorial sovereignty, and that he had come to deliver vaccines to the country with good intentions.

He helped those abroad, so how could he not lend a hand before leaving China?

After a brief explanation of their purpose, the other party remained silent for a long time before finally deciding to meet with Lu Qianwei after careful consideration.

It's not that they don't believe Lu Qianwei has a vaccine; a spaceship that's ahead of its time already speaks volumes.

For this reason, they suspected that the people inside the spaceship might be related to the zombie virus.

They cannot afford to be careless.

Who knew that the other party's purpose in coming to China was simply to deliver the antidote?

Surrounded and closely monitored by dozens of fighter jets, Lu Qianwei slowly changed course in his airship, which was far beyond the level of modern industry.

Following the coordinates provided by ground command, it landed smoothly on a temporarily designated, open military tarmac on the southeastern border.

The entire area was already under strict martial law.

Armed soldiers formed a tight defensive line around the tarmac.

Armored vehicles and air defense equipment were on full standby, and everyone was on high alert because the spaceship represented technology far ahead of its time.

The moment the airship landed completely and the hatch slid open silently, a look of astonishment and surprise flashed across the eyes of all the officers and soldiers present.

Because what came down were people with the same faces as them...humans?

Colonel Lin Yi, who was leading the team from the Southeast Theater Command, suppressed his shock, raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stand by, and stepped forward with only two fully armed bodyguards.

He carefully observed Lu Qianwei as he stepped out of the cabin.

Facing the heavily armed military troops, he showed no sign of unease or panic, as if it were just an ordinary scene to him.

Lin Yi could only make one judgment about this—confidence!

"I am Lin Yi, the person in charge of this border crossing."

"Lu Qianwei."

The two shook hands briefly, without any further pleasantries or small talk.

Lu Qianwei didn't come here to talk nonsense. "I came here this time to give you two things out of consideration for our compatriots."

Lin Yi frowned slightly. "What's the other thing?"

"It's hard to say. You just need to hand it over to someone who has the ability, and they will know what's inside."

Before Lin Yi could ask any more questions, Lu Qianwei raised his hand and flipped it over, and a stack of paper documents and a precision USB flash drive appeared out of thin air in his hand.

It was that complete set of 'zombie virus vaccine development materials'.

"Here is the complete vaccine development program for the zombie virus. It has no side effects. You'll see when you test it yourselves."

Lu Qianwei handed over the documents and USB drive, which Lin Yi accepted with a skeptical attitude.

The country is now making every effort to dismantle and study the zombie virus, but the virus mutates extremely quickly and has a bizarre structure, and the core problem of cultivation and inactivation has remained unsolved.

If the information before us is true, it is a life-saving treasure that could save the whole world.

Phrases like "no reward without merit" and "there's no such thing as a free lunch" kept popping into my head.

"You just gave us the items like that?"

No additional conditions?

"Haha, I told you, I'm here to deliver something. No matter how much you doubt it, the experiment will always reveal the truth."

"Alright, that's settled then. No need for any dinner invitations or anything like that."

"I'll be going now~" As soon as Lu Qianwei finished speaking, he teleported back to the spaceship.

At the very last moment before the spaceship took off from zero frame, Lu Qianwei's final voice still rang out.

"By the way, let me make this clear beforehand: I came into this world by accident, and the virus has nothing to do with me."

I'm not an alien, I'm from a parallel universe!

Regardless of how much of their ambiguous last few words were believed by Lu Qianwei, he knew he had already left this world.

Let people guess what happens next.

Chapter 241 The Mist

Ethan ran his fingertips across the cold metal surface of the morgue. The gray fog outside had enveloped the entire Brighton Community Hospital for a full thirty-six hours.

Three days ago, he brought his grandmother, who had lung cancer, to the hospital for her last chemotherapy session. Just as she was being wheeled onto the operating table, a strange white mist began to spread from east to west.

That was all, but as the white mist enveloped them, countless inexplicable and terrifying creatures appeared inside.

Bloodsucking flies the size of washbasins, spiders several meters tall, strange tentacles...

They eat everything they see, and humans quickly become their food in the fog.

Moreover, the power was cut off, the signal was lost, and the army was nowhere to be found.

Some say the army was wiped out by these monsters from hell, destroyed by aliens... there are all sorts of opinions.

On the first day, Ethan could still hear screams and gunshots in the distance. But from the second day onward, everyone learned their lesson and no one dared to venture into the mist and leave.

Ethan was no exception. Ever since the day the monster broke through the hospital and he narrowly escaped death, hiding in the morgue, he had never left.

Now, besides him, a retired firefighter, there are three other survivors in the room.

One of them is Mia, a ten-year-old girl from next door.

Her mother was a nurse at the hospital. On the first day, she was dragged away by a large tentacle that appeared in the fog. Before she died, she only had time to pray to Ethan to protect her.

The other was a 76-year-old man named Hayes, who was considered the hospital's former director.

This guy was lucky; he was in the morgue visiting his wife from the start and wasn't attacked by a monster.

The last one is Clara, a 26-year-old pregnant woman who is nine months along.

Her husband drove her to her prenatal checkup, but the fog was so thick that he died while trying to protect her.

Ethan looked at the three men and sighed inwardly. None of them were reliable or capable of fighting...

The woman even has gestational diabetes; her fasting blood sugar has now spiked to 18. Without insulin, she probably won't make it past tomorrow at the latest.

All the spare insulin is locked in a temperature-controlled freezer in the basement.

Logically, he could ignore such a thing, but his basic human morality made him unable to bear seeing two lives lost.
