“It really felt like the apocalypse had arrived; all sorts of strange and unusual things were popping up!” Kong Qing remarked.

“I can understand Noah, but as for this Ora Association…never mind, as long as they’re happy.” Song Jinhong said.
“Keep an eye on them all!” He Xingzhou instructed Xuanwu, “Make sure the intelligence department pays attention and keeps these under close observation!”
Xuanwu said, “Orders have been communicated.”
…
He Xingzhou stayed at the Tower Research Institute for a few more days, during which Jiang Chan successfully tested a device to detect and block abnormal brainwaves. He immediately ordered mass production to deploy it nationwide.
Additionally, Experiment No. 9, Big White, had been in a deep sleep these past days, yielding no information.
After completing these tasks, it was time for the national memorial for the heroes of the Shanghai Defense Battle.
Meanwhile, today was also the day to announce a recruitment plan! The government had already decided to recruit thirty million soldiers, preparing for the country’s all-out battle against the Zerg!
The Xuanwu Plan’s memorial took place in Shanghai. Over the past few days, Academician Pan Yan’s deeds had been widely reported, along with the heroic deeds of the Red Son Frigate, reaching every corner of the nation.
Even before dawn, a long line had formed outside the funeral home. The heroes’ memorabilia would be sent to the specially built Xuanwu Heroic Cemetery for future generations to admire and commemorate.
Military and police personnel maintained order in the streets; in fact, all the citizens were exceptionally orderly, forming lines on both sides of the long street. They stood silently along the streets, holding white chrysanthemums in their hands.
At six in the morning, the hearse began its slow procession, adorned with photos of the heroes, as most of them had perished in the Zerg sea.
All national TV stations and online news outlets broadcast this scene live.
When the hearse departed, people could no longer contain their emotions and shouted, “Farewell, heroes!”
“Farewell, heroes!”
Alongside the street, hundreds of thousands of people stood, bidding them farewell.
In the areas the hearse passed through, all vehicles voluntarily stopped, honking their horns to show respect.
“You are the heroes of this city, and more importantly, the heroes of this country, this nation!” Along the route, people continuously wept and mourned.
The live war zone broadcasts and news during the conflict allowed the entire country to witness their heroism and the brutal warfare!
Many people traveled from other regions specifically to lay a bouquet of flowers or to offer a moment of mourning.
By ten o’clock, the hearse entered the Heroic Cemetery.
As tombstones with their engraved names were erected in the cemetery and flags were lowered to half-mast, the entire nation mourned in silence.
All Xuanwu Executives were present, with Qin Peng, He Hongwei, Kong Qing, Song Jinhong, Cui Weimin, Lv Mei, and He Xingzhou all stepping forward to lay flowers.
Qin Peng, as the commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Defense Battle, delivered a speech.
He said, “The Shanghai Defense Battle was our first war against the Zerg. We faced alien life forms, terrifying invaders. Their numbers and strength far exceeded ours!”
“Yet we still held the city, why? It was because of these heroes who bravely sacrificed everything. Among them were scientists like Academician Pan Yan, warriors like Peng Zimu, construction workers, field doctors, and many others.”
“Peaceful times come not because the world is inherently peaceful, but because of heroes bearing the burdens on behalf of us all!”
“Their blood nourishes the red rain of peach blossoms, their fierce spirits defend our peace! May these heroes’ souls be immortal!”
“May you be immortal!” At this moment, countless people were praying!
After delivering the eulogy, Qin Peng continued, “The threat of the Zerg still loomed around us, growing ever larger and more pressing!”
“The next time they attacked, it would not be limited to just a city! Or even a region!”
“Therefore, we must strive to strengthen ourselves and fortify our defenses.”
“To this end, we will continue to advance the Xuanwu Plan into its second phase.”
“Next, Comrade He Xingzhou will announce parts of the second phase of the Xuanwu Plan.”
The camera shifted to He Xingzhou, who began with his familiar introduction, “Hello, everyone, I am He Xingzhou, the Planet Builder.”
“The second phase of the Xuanwu Plan includes many aspects: engineering construction, military enhancement, Zerg research, global cooperation, and more.”
“Today, I want to focus on one particular aspect!”
He Xingzhou paused for a moment, then spoke, “To bolster the strength of the Xuanwu Army and prepare for total war against the Zerg, we will recruit thirty million soldiers nationwide!”
“Including but not limited to land, sea, and air forces, as well as relevant scientific workers, logistics personnel, and more.”
“This plan needs to be implemented immediately and completed within three months! Only then will we have more time to prepare!”
“So I urge all the youths willing to protect the people and the country from the Zerg to enthusiastically sign up and help defend our homeland!”
When He Xingzhou finished speaking, the nation was in an uproar.
“Recruiting thirty million! My chance has come!”
“I am a veteran, and I have waited long enough; I want to rejoin, I want to go to the battlefield!”
“Expand the ranks, defend against the Zerg!”
“Thirty million, three months is tight.”
“How do I sign up? I want to join the Xuanwu Army!”
“I want to be an armored soldier, and my life’s biggest dream is to wear armor and fight!”
“We are entering a state of full defense against the Zerg!”
Not only within the country, but people worldwide saw this news, which greatly astonished them, leaving them full of doubt and questioning.
“Shen Zhou to recruit thirty million soldiers? In three months, how is that even possible?”
