The Beginning: Simulating the Apocalypse

Chapter 60: Massive Earthquake Affecting the Entire Globe

【Some say that Chu Xuan is the son of God, a gift given to humanity by God, specifically sent to the world to advance human technological level.】

【Some say that Chu Xuan is a member of an advanced civilization, deliberately disguised as a human to support this weak Blue Star civilization.】

【But what cannot be denied is that when Chu Xuan appeared before everyone with his terrifying amount of knowledge, he completely amazed the world. In order to compete for this rare talent, countries like the Angel Country, Bear Country, and Sakura Country constantly extended olive branches, even attracting a bunch of spies and special agents.】

【In the end, the old man of Summer Country had to dispatch the most elite guard to ensure Chu Xuan’s daily safety. Thanks to this, Chu Xuan was also able to get rid of a lot of worries, allowing him to truly focus his mind on scientific research.】

“Tsk tsk, this treatment is really exaggerated,” Jiang Yi marveled while simulating at the same time.

But when he thought of the many titles preceding Chu Xuan’s name, he could understand the actions of various countries.

If offering excellent treatment could exchange for a super genius, even if one had to be a lackey every day for 365 days, the highest leaders of each country would not have any objections.

Unfortunately, there was no such opportunity.

“Speaking of which, this Chu Xuan should be like Huang, both protagonists of their respective timelines, right?

“Genius scientist… Could this simulation world be about artificial intelligence rebellion or something?”

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow, but then felt it was unlikely.

With Chu Xuan’s monstrous level of genius, if he had indeed created artificial intelligence, there would be no way it wasn’t restricted or had a backdoor.

【While the host is guessing the outcome of this simulation, a sudden earthquake occurred on Blue Star. This earthquake is not limited to a single country but affects the entire continental plate of Blue Star, even causing small-scale tsunamis.】

The narration of the system resounded once again.

Before Jiang Yi could react, his figure had already appeared at the top of Blue Star, observing the state of the land and sea.

Sure enough, an invisible fluctuation spread from the core of Blue Star.

Sweeping through the sea to form layers of shockwaves, ultimately shaking the landmasses, causing a global-scale seismic event that terrified all humans.

Jiang Yi could see many people on the surface with frightened faces.

Although this earthquake did not cause any casualties, the developed network made everyone aware that this was a bizarre earthquake affecting the entire globe, instantly causing panic among many people.

All kinds of doomsday-like discussions flooded social platforms large and small.

Some believed it, some didn’t.

“It’s over, it’s over, the end of the world predicted by the Mayans is here! The end of the world does exist, it’s just delayed!”

“I’m full of question marks. It’s just a minor earthquake. Even the cups in my house didn’t shake. Are you guys really scared like this?”

“Hehe, how do you explain that this earthquake affected the whole world?”

“Ah, this…”

Chaos reigned on the internet, but eventually, the official statements from various countries calmed the situation.

【This earthquake, which affected the whole globe, quickly faded from people’s view due to its small scale and various official assurances.】

【Soon, half a year passed. In this half year, the ecological environment of Blue Star was very stable. Even if there were natural disasters, they were based on very normal reasons. As a result, even those who were wary of the earthquake half a year ago gradually let go of their guard. Only scholars specializing in geology still eagerly explored the cause of this earthquake, trying to uncover the truth behind it.】

“The crisis this time does not come from extraterrestrial civilizations or external forces like the evil god, but from Blue Star itself, right?” Hearing this, Jiang Yi began to ponder with some enlightenment.

If the danger of this simulation came from Blue Star itself, then undoubtedly, the human civilization in this simulation world would suffer a devastating blow.

“Other than going to outer space, there’s basically no other way to survive.” After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yi sighed and shook his head.

Almost all of human civilization’s population and infrastructure were located on the surface of Blue Star. If the danger truly came from Blue Star itself, then just one massive earthquake would be enough to make human civilization disappear in an instant.

In the face of such a large-scale natural disaster, except for individuals who had reached the transcendent level, no organism could escape unscathed.

“So, will the key to breaking the deadlock lie with you…” Jiang Yi cast his gaze towards a secretive research institute in Summer Country.

At this moment, Chu Xuan was wearing black-framed glasses and a white lab coat, researching new topics in the institute.

It seemed that all the noise from the outside world, including the earthquake, could not affect his mood at all.

In Jiang Yi’s view, if humanity really wanted to go to outer space to avoid the risks of Blue Star, they could only rely on this highly intelligent and almost demonic genius scientist.

At this moment, the system’s narration sounded once again.

【While the host is contemplating, another half year has passed unconsciously. In this half year, Chu Xuan has successfully developed several breakthrough new technologies. All humans on Blue Star are cheering and envisioning a bright future for humanity. Everyone feels that with the existence of Chu Xuan, humanity will surely enter the interstellar era within their lifetime.】

【However, just as the whole world was celebrating, a sudden massive earthquake struck, spreading across the globe in an instant. Before various human surveying devices could react, it had already affected every inch of land and every sea.】

【No one could have expected that, a year later, Blue Star would experience another global-scale earthquake, and this time, it was stronger and more intense than the previous one. Unlike the first time when there were no major casualties, this time, many coastal countries were directly submerged by tsunamis, inland countries suffered heavy damage, and some countries living in volcanic zones even experienced volcanic eruptions, with the sky and land engulfed by endless molten lava.】
