Chapter 1748 - 954: Ten Thousand Birds Darken the Sky

Second Uncle hurried into the duty room and saw Li Zhengping and Old Lv inside.

"Second Uncle."

"Internal Affairs Director."

Second Uncle nodded, then walked to the window of the duty room, took out a key to open the window lock, and took out the roster from inside.

He glanced at it briefly, picked up the walkie-talkie, and notified the five Satellite Cities.

"I am Li Hongda, the Internal Affairs Director of Big Camphor Tree Base, issuing an emergency notification:

Recently detected weather changes, all Outer City personnel, Extra Staff, and the older batch of Cooperative Personnel from the five Satellite Cities must retreat to Big Camphor Tree Base within three days.

Everyone pass the word along, make sure to return to Big Camphor Tree Base before the 28th..."

"Additionally, aside from the aforementioned people, the following teams should also be synchronized to return to Big Camphor Tree Base, they include Dai Jiusheng, Shi Fanfan, Zhang Rufen, Zhao Si...."

......

His words caused a thousand waves.

Zhu Xiao in the Fourth Satellite City was somewhat incredulous upon receiving the message.

Seeing Zhu Xiao’s slightly heavy expression after receiving the message, the Skinny beside him asked, "Brother, why is the base suddenly asking us to return? Is something going to happen?"

Zhu Xiao glanced at Skinny and let out a deep breath.

"Not sure, but it’s definitely not good news."

"Do you think it’s an external enemy invasion?"

Zhu Xiao shook his head and said, "Not likely. The Internal Affairs Director mentioned weather changes, never mind, I need to notify the Fifth Outer City now. Also, hurry down and notify people in the Satellite City.

All activities and tasks are suspended, and ensure the brothers pack their things, ready to return to Big Camphor Tree Base."

Skinny nodded, suddenly noticing a massive flock of birds flying by the window, and exclaimed to Zhu Xiao, "Brother, look at those birds outside."

A grand sight of thousands of birds soaring, almost covering the entire sky.

Zhu Xiao was moved inside, becoming more certain of his suspicion.

Something was going to happen, and it would be big.

The base must have detected something ahead of time, otherwise, they wouldn’t issue such a massive action order.

He recalled how, many times in the past, Big Camphor Tree Base would have them return to the base to take shelter whenever a natural disaster erupted.

This time, it appears to be the same.

"Quickly notify, have the brothers pack today and evacuate tomorrow. The sooner to Big Camphor Tree Base, the safer."

"What about those new cooperative personnel outside? What will happen to them when we leave?" Skinny asked.

Zhu Xiao thought for a moment and said, "The Internal Affairs Director didn’t mention them, once the message is passed, ask the Internal Affairs Director what to do about them."

Skinny nodded and quickly ran out.

Zhu Xiao watched him leave, then picked up the walkie-talkie.

"This is Zhu Xiao from the Fourth Satellite City, emergency call to Guo Peng from the Fifth Satellite City."

Sizzle sizzle sizzle —

A minute later.

"Old Zhu, what’s up?" Guo Peng stood on the rooftop of a building within the city, watching the Extra Staff returning from outside missions.

"Big Camphor Tree Base issued the latest notification, all personnel from the Satellite Cities must return to base within three days. Including Outer City personnel, Extra Staff, and veteran Cooperative Personnel. I suspect a natural disaster might be coming; just outside many birds are flying about, a situation reminiscent of the scene before the volcanic eruption."

"Ah? So sudden. Within three days?"

"Yes, as soon as possible. You’re farthest from Headquarters Base, so it’s not as convenient for a round trip. Plus, there’s the organizing of items, transporting supplies, etc. Get it arranged quickly."

Guo Peng frowned, looking at the people coming and going within the Satellite City and the vehicles parked by the city walls.

This retreat feels like quite a project this time.

But he dared not be careless, having previously suffered losses in natural disasters, witnessing their terrifying power.

No matter how strong humanity becomes, it cannot resist the sweep of natural disasters.

"Okay, I understand."

"Old Guo, if there’s any update, I’ll contact you." Zhu Xiao added.

Guo Peng thanked him, then shouted to the side, "Gongsun, notify them..."

"Group Leader, Gongsun Jing is still recuperating at Big Camphor Tree Base." A group member said somewhat awkwardly.

Guo Peng suddenly remembered, slapped his forehead, and said to the group member, "Notify them, all tasks are paused, have everyone within the city pack their belongings, return to Big Camphor Tree Base within three days.

Also, take a team tomorrow to broadcast and contact those on missions outside, have them quickly return to the Satellite City."

The group member nodded, then hurried down.

Soon.

The message spread throughout the entire Fifth Satellite City.

Just two days ago, Jiu Ge and Old Huang returned and were resting in a prefab house.

As they became Extra Staff, their status in the Fifth Satellite City improved somewhat.

"Old Huang, what do you think is happening?" Jiu Ge asked Old Huang next to him.

Old Huang glanced at him and said, "Honestly, I don’t know either, but since they’ve asked us to return, let’s pack our things early."

"Alright." Jiu Ge thought hard but couldn’t come up with a reason.

But he knew following Old Huang wouldn’t go wrong.

He discovered this way back when he was captured as a slave by the Motorcycle Gang.

That’s why he secretly observed Old Huang’s choices, moving from Oil City to Big Camphor Tree Base and then again to the Fifth Satellite City.
