C9

At 10: 55 PM, Lin Chen appeared at the factory that sold locomotives. X23US.COM

Yanzhuang University was comprised of over ten different types of universities, with a total population of over 150 thousand people and an area of almost 20 square kilometers.

With so many people living here, it was only natural that they would form a relatively perfect business chain and sell everything.

Lin Chen's stature had changed. His facial bones had been deformed, and his height had dropped by five centimeters. His originally tall and slender frame had now expanded to become that of a burly man, and a mask was covering his face.

Logically speaking, with the entire world asleep at this time, his preparations didn't seem necessary?

However, Lin Chen remembered it all too clearly. 'Caution is the best way to sail a ship with ten thousand years.'

Although most of the city's surveillance facilities had already been destroyed, who knew where a surveillance camera would be able to find a fish that had slipped through the net?

Moreover, he did not forget that there were about 20 or so Awakened ones in the whole of China's Congress. If they couldn't protect the Demon City, then there wouldn't be one or two in this large international city, and it would be hard to guarantee that the other party was sleeping peacefully right now.

If the things he wanted to do were to be exposed, he would be strongly pursued by the national machinery!

Do not assume that the national machinery will be defunct at the end of the day.

On the contrary, in the midpoint of the apocalypse, especially in the three years before, the rule of the former state institutions over China was very stable.

It was only in the late apocalypse that, due to their individual military prowess, the gap between the military bases of the different military regions and that of the central base had closed. Only then did a few military bases dare to have any changes to their attitude towards the central zone.

Three to four years after the apocalypse, the living resources on Earth were basically depleted and a new material production chain was formed. Only when the individual forces began to dominate the forces did the upper echelons of China begin to reorganize.

This is the so-called 'production relationship determines the superstructure'.

Only when the social system completely changed would Lin Chen be able to relax a little!

Thus, in the few years before the apocalypse, Lin Chen had no intention of challenging the national machinery. Although his personal martial arts might be unrivalled in the current world, he had close relatives and friends. The national authorities even had nuclear weapons.

Experience from his previous life had shown that many individuals and organizations that had grown too much in the early apocalypse had suffered a tragic blow from the national machinery, giving others a deep lesson!

Adepts, on the other hand, only had the basic qualification to survive a nuclear strike when they broke through to the seventh rank. If he wanted to completely ignore nuclear weapons, he would have to reach Discipline Level 9.

Thus, Lin Chen had to be extremely careful in his actions. No matter how careful he was, it would not be enough.

Before he made his move, Lin Chen followed his usual practice and used his psychic power to scan the area within a hundred meters. However, he didn't discover anything out of the ordinary.

The next second, Lin Chen found a barrel in the shop and filled up three locomotives. Then, like a gust of wind, he came in contact with every single locomotive.

The 60-odd locomotives entered the storage warehouse of the Seed World.

Lin Chen teleported out of the room and stood on the street. He took out an oiled locomotive, started it on fire, and left.

Thus, without any trace of damage, all the locomotives in the train shop disappeared.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The loud roars of the high-powered locomotives broke the silence of the city. Lin Chen drove the locomotive at a speed of more than 200 miles out of the school and onto the coastal highway, heading towards the East China Petrochemical Complex located in the southern suburbs of the city.

This speed was nothing to Lin Chen, his reflexes and body coordination were more than sufficient to deal with it.

Five minutes before the red fog, most drivers would stop at night

Watch, very few drivers will continue to drive, resulting in a red fog sleep and car accidents. Therefore, there were not many accidents on the road, so Lin Chen's high-speed progress would not be troubled.

Lin Chen's first target was the Huadong Petrochemical Complex.

Huadong Petrochemical Complex is the world's largest petrochemical plant, the main business is crude oil refining. Thirty percent of the oil in China's four eastern provinces and metropolis comes from this petrochemical plant.

Its refining ability had reached 30 million tons of crude oil per year, up to 50 million tons, and its standing stock was close to 2 million tons.

It was located in Tianyun County, a suburban area in the southern part of the city. It was about 20 kilometers away from the world-class port, Pugang, and about 90 kilometers away from East China University in the northern part of the city.

Its guard unit was the 35th Division of the 12th Army Group of the Golden Army Region.

The 35th Division also took into account the defenses of Tianyun County and parts of the southern district of Demonic City.

In his previous life, due to the relatively small population of Tianyun County, the terrain was suitable for defense, as well as having sufficient energy resources to support the petrochemical factory, so under the central policy of 'defending, rescuing and rebuilding on the spot', the 35th Division was the first to take back Tianyun County City and establish the Tianyun base.

It was a pity that the world was messing with people. The central government had not been able to fully estimate the development of the situation. A month later, the situation had completely changed. Skycloud base lasted for four months, and finally decided to leave the city, retreating back to the general base of the Golden Army sector.

The path of retreat was the path of tears and blood. Out of over 3 million people, only 600 thousand survived and reached the military base. It could be said that the road from Tianyun to Jindu military region was paved with more than three layers of human bones.

The reasons for this result are multiple.

In this life, without affecting himself, Lin Chen did not mind using his own hard work to allow the retreat to begin as soon as possible, thereby reducing the loss of life among the citizens of China.

Originally, even if the world were destroyed, he would not care about it. However, in this life, he possessed the most precious kinship in the world, so he was willing to do whatever he could to make the world as beautiful as possible.

After all, his family still needed to survive in this world!

In his previous life, the Skycloud base was facing increasingly serious circumstances, so they were unable to make up their mind to retreat. The main reason was that the base leadership couldn't bear to part with this piece of fat like the petrochemical plant.

In the apocalypse, the most precious thing was food, followed by energy.

Two million tons of existing fuel and six million tons of inventory had dazzled the leadership, which had dragged on and on with a sense of hope, unable to make up its mind to retreat.

It was a pity that the defense of the petrochemical plant was followed by the burning of all its resources. Because of that, Skycloud Base had decided to retreat. And the price was the lives of more than two million survivors.

This was the worst tragedy since the apocalypse!

This time, Lin Chen wanted to rely on his own heaven defying abilities to create a shocking mystery. Taking away most of the resources in the petrochemical plant, he wanted to make sure that the future Heavenly Cloud Base leaders would no longer linger in the Heavenly Cloud Base and make a timely decision to retreat.

At 1: 20 AM, Lin Chen arrived at the petrochemical plant.

The petrochemical factory spanned four to five kilometers, standing like a monster on the ground.

The electricity had been cut off in most places and was covered by the chilly moonlight. There were three places where the generators were still running, radiating light.

Lin Chen was too lazy to carefully investigate the situation. He directly used his spiritual energy to detect the location of the generator and the surveillance camera at a distance of 800 meters from the bright spot. Then, he continuously used teleportation techniques to avoid the probe, close to the generator and shut it down.

Lin Chen had already checked the distribution of facilities in the factory on Google.

As such, for the rest of the day, Lin Chen drove his locomotive crazily through the petrochemical plants, collecting more than 300 oil tankers and countless small and medium-sized oil storage tanks.

As long as it was oil, whether it was fuel oil or all sorts of lubricants, he would not miss any of them.

As for the oil and crude oil in the underground storage tank, Lin Chen had rushed to a few small virtual storage spaces in the seed world and specifically collected the oil.

During this period, he had used up more than a hundred spiritual powers and relied on the endless energy liquid to quickly recover.

In the end, he casually took in a workshop's refinery production line.

When he left, he had left behind two thousand tons of ten gasoline cans and eight diesel cans. Several types of lubricants.

In other words, he had only left less than 40,000 tons of fuel for the future Skycloud base.

This amount of fuel was enough for the base leadership to start considering a path of retreat if the situation took a turn for the worse. Furthermore, this fuel would be enough to allow the remaining survivors from the Skycloud Base to finish their retreat.

Although the items that Lin Chen had collected were useful to him, they were not of much use. Even if he were to establish his own influence in the future, he might not be able to use them all.

During the apocalypse, the main energy sources of the people on Earth would be crystal cores, crystals, elemental energy, etc.

Moreover, if he did so, it would bring him an unknown danger. In the future, the government agencies or people in power would relentlessly and secretly investigate this matter.

On one hand, Lin Chen believed in his own ability to hide himself, and on the other hand, he wanted to make sure that he would be able to live with his own guilt in the future.

In this life, his heart wasn't cold yet. His blood was still warm, and his emotions still existed. He did not want to see the mountainous pile of bones on the road from Tianyun to Jindu.

His spiritual power had been replenished over the last hundred times. His spiritual power had gone from a mid-tier Level 1 to a high-tier Level 1. Soon, he would be able to break through to Level 2.

This was a pleasant surprise!

When he left the petrochemical plant, it was already 4: 20 in the morning.

Lin Chen was slightly anxious as time was running out.

The next place he wanted to go was the 'Magic City Defense Military Emergency Reserve'.

As the international capital of China, the Demon City was one of the most economically powerful cities in the world. Naturally, her defense was not weak or low.

The usual security tasks were a hundred thousand police units, armed police units, and special police units. There were three divisions of the Jin Du Military Region's regular army units distributed around the area, and there was also the East Sea Fleet on the east side.

The center stored a large amount of military wealth in five hidden places in the city.

The central assumption was that if China were to be invaded, in the worst case scenario where both the regular and police forces would be defeated by an external force, at least two million militia troops would be rapidly armed to fight back against the invaders.

There is no doubt that among the population of 20 million, the number of veterans of all ages is only a fraction of the figure of 2 million.

There were a total of five military storage areas in the Demon City: one in the south, one in the north, and one in the west. There were two in the center of the city.

During the apocalypse in his previous life, the 46 divisions in the north, the 22 divisions in the west, and the 35 divisions in the south had all drawn out their corresponding military assets and equipped the citizens who were willing to join the army. However, the two military locations in the center of the city had always been lost in the tens of thousands of corpses.

It was said that in the last seven to eight years, a supreme expert went to investigate and found that all the daily necessities had been destroyed. Although firearms and ammunition could still be used, they were basically useless and could only be used as raw materials. Moreover, even if it was raw material, it couldn't compare to ore that had undergone elemental energy infiltration in nature.

Thus, Lin Chen's goal was the weapons and supplies located in these two military locations in the center of the city.
