Global Freeze: I built a doomsday safe house

"How about we go to the moon again?"

Zhou Ke'er suggested, her eyes sparkling.

She took Zhang Yi's arm and analyzed, "The closest planet to us right now is the moon, and a round trip would only take a day or two. Besides, we have connections with the Moon people, so we should be able to negotiate."

Zhang Yi smiled helplessly: "I don't think it's going to work!"

"Resources, especially the extremely precious ones we want, are probably something they're unwilling to give away!"

The moon is not very big, and it is divided between two major Lunarian empires. They know that an even greater disaster will soon befall them, so who would be willing to share their precious resources?

Moreover, Zhang Yi and his team need a huge amount of resources to develop technology.

“Mars,” Yang Xinxin said softly, “Mars’ resources may be our only option.”

"Mars?"

Fatty Xu stood up from the sofa next to him and said with some surprise, "You mean, we're going to Mars to get resources?"

Yang Xinxin nodded.

She had just heard Zhang Yi speak when she started looking up information.

"Mars is currently only 7800 million kilometers away from Earth. We can upgrade the engines and travel there aboard the Dreamer spacecraft. It will take less than a month to reach it."

"According to astronomers' exploration, Mars may contain the resources we need, especially rare metals and energy minerals."

Lu Keran's eyes immediately lit up as she said, "That's right! If there are exploitable mineral deposits on Mars, we can definitely establish a resource base there and solve our current resource problem!"

The Cangyuan Clan's technology is indeed impressive. With the Dreamer having flown to the moon once, Zhang Yi already has experience with space travel and is not so worried.

But he also knew that the trip to Mars would not be easy.

It is a planet filled with countless imaginations and rumors; some people once believed that life existed on Mars.

Because the environment there is most similar to Earth, for many years, netizens have tirelessly searched for signs of life in photos sent back from Mars.

Twenty years ago, Colombia's richest man built a spaceship and flew to Mars.

Zhang Yi rubbed his fingers together and slowly said:

"Mars is indeed relatively close to us, so we can go there to explore its resources."

"The previous claims about life on Mars now seem more likely to be about an ancient civilization. We need to proceed with caution."

"In addition, twenty years ago, Colombian billionaire Elon Freeman led a team of volunteers to Mars, but there has been no news of them since."

"We must thoroughly investigate the intelligence on Mars before proceeding with caution."

Yang Xinxin frowned slightly: "If there really is an underground civilization on Mars, then we must be fully prepared. Freeman once led a team to explore it, and perhaps they encountered danger."

Zhang Yi nodded: "I need to get in touch with the Pupil Organization. Freeman used to be a member of the Pupil Organization, so maybe they know more about the situation."

Without any delay, Zhang Yi quickly dialed the number of Milwyn Blatt, a member of the Pupil Organization and known as "The King's Underworld".

After the video call connected, Blatt's face appeared on the screen.

His expression was accompanied by a polite smile. "Oh, it's my dear Knight of Illusion, Lord Chaos! It's rare for you to contact me first. May I ask what brings you here?"

“Mr. Blatt, I have a few questions about Mars.”

Zhang Yi asked directly, "After Elon Freeman and his team went to Mars twenty years ago, did they still have contact with the Pupil Organization?"

Blatt was somewhat surprised; he seemed not to have expected that Zhang Yi would ask him not about ancient civilizations on Earth, but about planets in the universe.

Blatt's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't hide anything: "Freeman is a very self-centered person. His initial intention in joining the Pupil Organization was only to use us. Rather, we never really cooperated at all. He did go missing after going to Mars, and we haven't received any further news about him."

Do you have any more information about the underground civilization on Mars?

Although Zhang Yi was somewhat disappointed, he still continued to ask.

Blatt said in a low voice, "The existence of a Martian underground civilization is not entirely a secret. There are even indications that their technology is very advanced, perhaps even comparable to some advanced civilizations on Earth. Freeman's disappearance may be related to this underground civilization."

"As you know, even though our technology is advanced enough for space travel, we can only travel short distances; reaching the moon is the limit."

"Everyone knew that Elon Freeman's Mars mission was a one-way trip with no return."

"Therefore, our Pupil Organization also has no further intelligence about Mars."

Zhang Yi felt somewhat regretful, but still said, "Then, regarding Elon Freeman's Mars landing plan, I need some more detailed information."

Those are all state secrets; outsiders have no way of knowing. But Zhang Yi believes the Tong organization will definitely have a way to get them.

"Just some intelligence, I'll pass it on to you soon. No—"

Blatt paused for a moment, seemingly considering how to phrase it: "Also, I must remind you, beware of the Holy See! They recently reached a cooperation agreement with an ancient civilization in the European region, and taking advantage of the world's turmoil, they have gathered a large number of believers."

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes: "The Holy See?"

After the lunar incident, Zhang Yi had no goodwill towards the Holy See.

Those guys actually betrayed six generations and chose to unseal Samael; that's insane!

If Pope Alexander X hadn't died, we really would have demanded an explanation from the Vatican regarding this matter.

"Your Excellency Blatter, as the sworn enemy of the Righteous Church, you must know their secrets well. Could you tell me what makes them so terrifying?"

Blatt's expression turned serious: "The goal of the Holy See is not simply the expansion of power. There is a powerful force behind them, and they even plan to use the power of all mankind to complete some kind of sacrifice."

"We have a guess, although there is no direct evidence, but it is very likely to be true."

"The Lord's Church does not worship the Creator, but rather—the Drucker!"

Zhang Yi's heart raced. This news filled him with an unprecedented sense of crisis: "Sacrifice all of humanity? Awaken the Druckers? They've gone mad!"

Blatt's tone was icy: "The Holy See may be planning to awaken the power of ancient demon gods through the sacrifice of all mankind in order to achieve their unknown purposes."

"And their goal will definitely completely change the world order!"

Zhang Yi fell silent, a series of dangerous thoughts rapidly surfacing in his mind.

The Holy See is not only a religious organization, but also a dark force that collaborates with ancient civilizations.

Compared to this, the underground civilizations on Mars are probably just the tip of the iceberg.

“I understand, Blatt.”

Zhang Yi's tone was serious. "I will be more careful, but we have a more pressing issue right now. Please send over the information we need. As for other matters, we can discuss them later!"

After hanging up the call, Zhang Yi turned to the crowd with a determined look in his eyes: "We will head to Mars to establish a new resource base. As for the Holy See, we must also be more vigilant against them."

Lu Keran, Yang Xinxin, and the others exchanged glances, all understanding that Zhang Yi had made his decision.

Despite the difficulties ahead, this is their best option at the moment.

Become powerful!

Once you possess sufficient power, all conspiracies, schemes, and dangerous enemies will vanish like clouds.
