PFC Chapter 362 Survival of the Nation (2)
Chapter 362 Survival of the Nation (2)
Everyone fell silent in thought, after all, they only had a superficial understanding of this kind of system.
A man in his early thirties sitting in the middle said with a serious expression, "Since it's related to the fate of the country, wouldn't it be easy for the country to be in trouble if something bad happens inside?"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized the situation and became somewhat worried. After all, they couldn't choose the candidates themselves; if they could, they could pick an all-around talent.
“What you said makes sense. Is there anything else?” Old Li continued to ask.
The room fell silent again, and no one spoke for a moment.
Chu Zhuang thought for a moment and continued, "There are not only disadvantages but also advantages. The situation on Blue Star is getting worse and worse. If those who go in can benefit, and since it is related to the country, the country should also benefit."
“That’s right, it’s a double-edged sword,” Lin Cheng said.
Old Li nodded and asked, "Is there anything else to add?"
Sitting at the end of the long conference table, the young girl taking meeting notes hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Old Li, the survival of the nation and the system are all written in novels."
Everyone's eyes were on her, making her a little nervous. After all, things that happened in novels are still quite surprising in real life.
"Oh? Little Shen, what do you know? Tell me in detail?" Old Li said with a kind expression.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shen said, "I don't know if it's the same as in the novel, but in the novel, when a country is trying to survive, each country selects people to participate, and the resources or benefits they obtain will materialize for their country after the dungeon ends."
Upon hearing this, many old-fashioned people who had never read this kind of novel became curious.
"And the current situation on Earth is similar to that in survival novels about national destiny, where resources are becoming increasingly scarce," Xiao Shen added.
Then the others asked her about the different instances and other questions, and the meeting room was filled with discussion as everyone gained a better understanding of the situation.
Old Li said directly, "Regardless of whether it's the same or not, we have to be prepared. I just don't know who will be selected? There's no age limit mentioned."
Lin Cheng glanced at his watch: "There are only ten minutes left. Should we prepare ourselves in case we get selected?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Elder Li, who said directly, "Go and make preparations. Chu Zhuang and Lin Cheng are specifically in charge of this matter. Have someone keep an eye out for any sudden disappearances and report them immediately."
"Okay." After the meeting, everyone planned to go back and make some preparations, as this concerned the country and lives.
Many people are also making preparations, bringing everything they can think of with them, just in case they don't bring enough.
Ji Su wasn't in a hurry, after all, she had her own space. Although she couldn't take things out casually during the live stream, she also knew from Xiao Qi that people who went in couldn't bring anything with them.
She could only go in wearing one set of clothes, so she changed into a casual long-sleeved shirt and trousers.
In this weather, most people are probably still wearing short sleeves and shorts. It's hard to say what the weather is like inside. Anyone who can imagine this situation would change their clothes even if they have to endure it.
In the final minute, just as everyone was on high alert and many were wondering if they were hallucinating, the electronic voice rang out again.
[Beep, initiating random selection of participants from various countries...]
[Selected by lottery...]
With just a few seconds left, [Beep, selection complete, live stream of the instance begins.]
Although the list wasn't released, causing everyone unnecessary anxiety, the live stream will allow everyone to see what's going on inside.
Five people from each country on Earth disappeared on the spot. At the same time, everyone's mobile phone displayed a live streaming app, categorized by country, with five live streaming rooms for each country.
However, they cannot post anything in the live stream, and people outside cannot contact those inside.
As soon as Ji Su entered, she found her in the sea. Fortunately, she could swim, and she was about to use her mental power to see where she could get ashore.
[Ding! System notification: You need to find the blind box floating on the sea surface to obtain the necessary supplies.]
This sound cannot be heard by people outside; only those who have entered the instance can hear it.
Since that's the case, Ji Su will use her mental power to find the blind boxes.
She spotted a red blind box fifty meters away, and wondered what it was made of, as it didn't get wet.
She was even thinking about the materials used in blind boxes, unlike the others.
A man from Fusang was teleported in and was chased by a shark. In the end, he was not fast enough to swim as fast as the shark and was swallowed whole.
The person's live stream room instantly turned gray, and the screen disappeared.
This shocked the Japanese viewers outside the live stream. They were shocked to learn that the dungeon was so dangerous, and many were hoping they wouldn't be chosen to play it later.
The president of Japan slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "Baka!"
Fortunately, with only one death, the country is not in any immediate danger. Although it is cruel, it has given all countries a temporary sigh of relief.
The National Fate Survival System was watching everyone's reactions with disdain, thinking to itself that it was being generous, giving everyone a chance, and that things would only get serious if the second person died.
However, they relaxed too soon. In several countries, people who couldn't swim drowned after entering the water.
There was one in Fusang (Japan), who couldn't hold on and drowned; two people died in the process.
The system's voice immediately rang out: [Japan, Lighthouse Country, Thousand Lakes Country... Two dead, one-tenth of the country's territory desertified.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, one-tenth of the land in the countries that were mentioned instantly turned into desert.
This infuriated the leaders of those countries, especially Japan, which already suffered from food scarcity and a lack of marine resources, and now it was facing desertification.
The system indicated that this was just an appetizer, and the disaster was yet to come.
After all, resources are scarce in this world, and only the fittest survive; those who are useful can benefit and live on.
The newly established National Fate Survival Department of Huaxia State also assigned dedicated personnel to record and observe each live broadcast room after the live broadcast began.
The information on the five people who entered the instance, which were of great concern to their own country, was also transmitted to the top leaders at the fastest speed.
They have received news of the incidents in those countries and confirmed that the land has indeed suddenly turned into desert.
This has caused concern, as these five individuals are directly related to the country.
Old Li studied the information on the five people: "The oldest is in his thirties, the youngest is in his early twenties, there are four men, and the youngest is actually a girl."
“Yes, Mr. Li, but so far this girl named Ji Su seems quite calm; she can swim,” Lin Cheng said from the side.
Chu Zhuang had already reviewed the information. He was currently watching the live stream of the five people: four men, two in their thirties and two in their mid-twenties.
