Inside the white room.
Zhushi Jiu dodged the Black Soldier’s whip-like leg attack. The whip-like leg made a loud whooshing sound in the air, with incredible force and speed. If an average person were to take this blow, they would likely be kicked to the ground and broken. Although Zhushi Jiu didn’t get hit, he still felt the power of the attack.
This intense attack had been going on for two hours.
Since the Black Soldier discovered that Zhushi Jiu could quickly master combat skills, he had been pouring all his knowledge of fighting techniques into Zhushi Jiu.
The essence of combat techniques actually boiled down to a few repeated movements, but to apply them in real battles, one needed to solidify the impression through actual combat. In the first hour, Zhushi Jiu performed like a super genius, and no matter what technique the Black Soldier showed him, Zhushi Jiu could always find a way to counterattack with his seemingly innate quick reflexes.
After confirming that Zhushi Jiu had mastered various combat skills, the Black Soldier increased the intensity.
…
In the third hour, Zhushi Jiu’s physical strength began to dwindle, exhausting him an hour earlier than the previous week.
…
Zhushi Jiu met Xu Feng again in the infirmary.
—Actually, he couldn’t tell if this was an infirmary, but the white bed, white curtains, and the scent of disinfectant in the air reminded him of the university infirmary he had visited after a basketball injury.
Xu Feng sat beside the bed, straight-backed and serious, exuding an aura of strictness.
“How long have you been sitting there?”
Zhushi Jiu asked, trying to support himself with his hands to sit up, but they were too weak to even lift the bed.

“There’s still an hour and a half until 10 o’clock.”
After hearing Xu Feng’s response, Zhushi Jiu reacted, asking, “Don’t you think it’s time to stop the plan?”
“Do you know how long the Black Troop Organization, no, the country, and even the entire world, has been preparing for this plan?”
“How long?”
“Twenty-five years.”
Xu Feng casually mentioned the number, which was before Zhushi Jiu was even born.
“Since 2020, the organization has been preparing for this plan, receiving technical assistance and talent recruitment from various countries, investing massive resources in talent cultivation, weapons research, and defense against Alien Creature attacks… In other words, the organization has done everything it can for this plan. If we don’t succeed, we’ll just have to accept the consequences. This is the conviction instilled in the organization over the past twenty-five years, which has become unshakable.”
“In other words, our organization is shouldering the entire human race’s hope. If we stop the plan, it would mean all our efforts over the past twenty-five years would be in vain. And if we stop the plan now and the Alien Creature crisis still can’t be resolved, humanity will be left defenseless against the monstrous creatures! At that time, humanity will face unprecedented disaster, a disaster that no one can bear.”
Zhushi Jiu received some information from Xu Feng’s words.

“You just said… many countries?”
“Yes.”
Zhushi Jiu had not expected other countries to be involved.
But thinking about it carefully, this was very reasonable, as the Alien Creature crisis was a crisis for all humanity, and other countries participating in the decision-making process was normal.
Only, previously, Zhushi Jiu had thought the Black Troop Organization was an unofficial organization that existed outside of official recognition, and Xu Feng was its leader, making all decisions.
As for other countries, Zhushi Jiu had not thought about their involvement.
Now, suddenly hearing this news, Zhushi Jiu felt a sense of unease.
After a while, he asked, “So, is our organization’s plan a joint effort with other countries?”
“No, it’s led by our country, but has received approval from more than half of the countries. By the way, since the plan was established twenty-five years ago, there have been countries opposing it every year, even blocking it.”
Zhushi Jiu furrowed his brow: “It seems like we humans still don’t have a united front against the World Enemy.”

“That’s correct. The relationships between countries are not as simple as you think. Moreover, most people are ultimately selfish, and they won’t take the crisis seriously until it hits them. By then, it’s too late.”
Xu Feng’s tone was slightly sarcastic.
“But fortunately, our country is one of the first to respond to the crisis. Because the World Enemy descended upon our country, our country took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of defending the world and called on other countries to unite against the Alien Creature crisis. It’s precisely because of the organization’s timely action that we’ve been able to maintain peace until now.”
“And most countries, their attitude is just ‘support’.”
“We have the Black Troop Organization, and other countries naturally have their own elite forces and defense systems. Each country has actually made preparations for the plan’s failure, and if the plan fails, they have backup plans to save a portion of humanity, achieving the goal of preserving human civilization.”
Zhushi Jiu showed no emotion, and in a completely rational state, he nodded: “If the Alien Creature crisis really can’t be blocked, then their choice is indeed a viable plan. It’s understandable.”
Xu Feng stared at Zhushi Jiu expressionlessly.
Zhushi Jiu asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t want to inject the Black Soldier serum precisely because I didn’t want to end up like you.”
“I…” Zhushi Jiu quickly reacted, “My thinking has indeed been affected by the serum.”

“According to my analysis of you before, if you hadn’t taken the serum, you would definitely be furious at these countries and wouldn’t understand why humanity, in the face of this global crisis, still can’t unite.”
Zhushi Jiu: “…”
“In reality, in the eyes of most countries, this plan itself has a high probability of failure. With our current technological level, we can’t protect everyone, so they’ll naturally choose to sacrifice some people to save the strongest.”
“Each country has its own ‘Ark Plan’—the Alien Creatures are indeed difficult to defeat, but if humanity were to focus all its technological strength on defense, it could simply block the Alien Creatures’ attacks. However, if we go down that path, humanity will never be able to rise from the ashes.”
Xu Feng said this to inform Zhushi Jiu that the plan had already reached a point of no return.
Zhushi Jiu understood and said, “But… the 10 o’clock doomsday is a power that can destroy everything.”
“I’ll take your words for granted, but other countries won’t believe, and even our country’s superiors won’t believe. Predicting the future through personal power is, to anyone who believes in science, a fairy tale.”
“Okay.” Zhushi Jiu showed no disappointment, saying calmly, “So, I’ve done all this, but still can’t stop your plan?”
This week, and who knows how many more weeks, were all going to be wasted.
Hopefully, when he rewinds, his emotional self can accept this blow.

Just as Zhushi Jiu thought this without any emotional fluctuations, Xu Feng suddenly changed his tone.
“No, the plan can’t be stopped, but it can be paused.”
“What do you mean?”
“Meaning you’ll join the organization as a ‘Black Soldier Reserve’ and I’ve already applied to delay the plan by three months!”
“And you need to pass the training base’s exam within three months to become humanity’s strongest Black Soldier!”
