The streets were quickly crossed amidst conversations. Wen Yu was not a tardy person, and other than unexpectedly encountering Lahar along the way and teasing the little guy for a bit, he didn't delay for long.
At this moment, the two quickened their pace, and soon, the central control tower of Eternal Sky City was visible in the distance.
The meeting was set to take place here, which was also the gathering point. Once the military and Wen Yu had organized their intelligence and formulated their tactics, the military's experts would use the nearby teleportation array to be directly sent to Mount Kosciuszko in eastern Australia.
As for the ordinary troops and numerous divine beast species, they had long since set off and were already on Australian soil, fully prepared.
Compared to the sudden attack in the last life, the appearance of the source extraction device in this life had turned it into a straightforward contest—an overwhelming intelligence system that gathered over eighty percent of humanity's strength from the Beijing area and Eternal Sky City, the Sea King clan controlled by Lin Haifeng, the numerous divine beast species raised and allied by Beijing, and the overwhelming strength of the demonic clan, coupled with various unknown secrets that had yet to be revealed, made it hard for this war to contain any secrets...
From the beginning, it had become a battle of open confrontation! The only comparison was whose hidden cards were stronger and more numerous.
When Wen Yu and Tang Haofei walked into the central control tower, the lockdown had already begun, and no one was allowed in or out of the tower. Tang Haofei glanced at his watch, signaling that they had arrived just in time, and hurried to verify their identities in front of the tower’s entrance before entering the elevator and rushing to the top floor of the control tower.
Standing at the door of the meeting room, Tang Haofei solemnly adjusted his attire and stood by the reflective glass wall, assessing his mental state. Only when everything was in order did he push open the large door to the meeting room.
"The meeting begins!"
Before Wen Yu could enter the meeting room, a loud and commanding voice sounded from within, followed by the call for reports.
Time was tight, so this meeting was sure to differ from the lengthy meetings of the past.
...
By the time Wen Yu stepped into the room, Tang Haofei had already taken his seat at the main podium, listening to the report from the intelligence department below.
The tall man who seemed to be the intelligence minister spoke rapidly. Fortunately, everyone present was no weakling; the swiftly flowing words passed by their ears, and the information had been conveyed fairly well.
"At 7 o'clock this morning, extremely strong spatial fluctuations were detected above Mount Kosciuszko. It is expected that two hours from now, the Rift Device will fully activate, and at the same time, a large number of demonic creatures will emerge from the Demon Realm Gate, all at the peak level six of the demonic clan. The Heavenly Eye System has also detected the light indicating the opening of the dimensional maze. Within these three days, our intelligence department has dispatched three teams to investigate the situation inside Mount Kosciuszko, but no information has been reported. It is preliminarily estimated that there is a communication-blocking device or Barrier within Mount Kosciuszko..."
Standing at the door, Wen Yu scanned the surroundings. Sequence 2, who followed Tang Haofei in, naturally attracted everyone's attention. However, Wen Yu had indeed underestimated Tang Haofei's influence in Eternal Sky City. Under Tang Haofei's fierce gaze, the military experts seated below, including the members of the ultimate combat team, merely glanced at Wen Yu out of the corner of their eyes and took no further action. Even Qin Tian, who sat not far away, only lifted his head to look at Wen Yu, managing a smile that was worse than crying before quickly lowering his head again.
