MTLNOVEL Chapter 470: Moment of Transformation
The passengers inside the transport aircraft where Su Ping's avatar resided.
Endured a 24 hours that they would never forget in their lifetime.
During this time, their freedom was restricted, and their communications were blocked.
Furthermore, every hour, smart robots would perform a check on them, plunging them into great panic.
Initially, there were indeed some protests from passengers.
However, when the passengers with the highest status revealed their identities and still received no special treatment, being instead knocked down with stun guns.
The passengers in the transport aircraft all obediently shut their mouths, constantly speculating wildly about what had really happened.
From the frequent checks, naturally, the most guessed reason was related to an infectious disease.
Thus, many people wore masks consciously and kept their distance.
Any passenger's sneeze or cough could set others on high alert.
Fortunately, as the twenty-fourth hour passed.
The smart robots did not come to inspect the passengers again, instead, they lined up and left the transport aircraft.
Soon, the crew took control of the plane again, distributing food and water to the passengers, and the captain's magnetic voice informed them via broadcast that they all had passed the inspection.
The flight would take off again, sending the passengers to their destination.
Meanwhile, due to the delay for the passengers, the company would also negotiate compensation subsequently...
This news relieved the passengers greatly, and smiles finally appeared on some of their faces.
They began conspiring loudly, hoping to pressure the company into giving more compensation.
Su Ping's avatar did not participate in these matters.
In his view, this world didn't have much time left.
Even this was not directly related to the discovery of the Gray Gold Vein by the Antarctic research base.
The base's excavations at most accelerated the timeline for doomsday.
In the absence of masterful Transcendent powers and insufficient technological strength, discovering and beginning to use Grey Gold materials was enough to doom this civilization.
Su Ping's avatar didn't idle; besides replaying Cavert's mundane life in the transport aircraft, he also used smart devices to look at the abundant stored knowledge.
By observing the bigger picture from small instances, combining his perception and intuition.
Su Ping's avatar had already roughly guessed the crisis Kali Civilization was facing.
...
The transport aircraft of the Kali Civilization was really fast.
In just two and a half hours, it crossed a distance of 5,000 kilometers, arriving at the destination airport.
As Su Ping's avatar in Cavert's guise, he went straight to a nearby car rental company.
Using his status as a full-time employee at a large company, he rented a cargo truck without a deposit to go to the supermarket and start stockpiling.
Said stockpiling, but in fact, it wasn't too exaggerated, just preparing enough supplies for ten people for one or two weeks.
After all, Cavert truly knew that once his original body arrived, everything would be fine.
Cavert's home was an apartment applied for by his full-time employee status.
The apartment wasn't big, yet now a room was sectioned off, filled with supplies bought by Cavert.
Cavert's wife was utterly bewildered by this.
However, she couldn't protest.
Su Ping's avatar hated trouble and, upon seeing Cavert's wife, used mental suggestion to temporarily remove her self-awareness.
She only knew how to clean the house, cook and eat, bathe and sleep diligently.
As for going to work, what work is there to go to with doomsday approaching?
Cavert directly applied for his wife's annual leave.
Yet, on the morning of the second day, while staying in the gaming room learning about the classic gaming culture of the Kali Civilization, Cavert was disturbed by a video call that interrupted his keen interest.
Seeing it was a call request from Cavert's wife's supervisor, Cavert chose to mute it and then checked the messages.
Cavert's wife worked as an internist at a large hospital.
In today's Kali Civilization, due to the advent of smart diagnostics and smart robots with certain auxiliary abilities.
Mid to lower-tier doctors weren't as busy as their counterparts on Water Blue Star, nor were they in short supply, just having an ordinary job.
Only, since early morning, their hospital had declared a state of emergency, requiring all employees to come to work.
All leaves were also to be suspended.
Looking at Cavert's wife, who had gotten up and started eating, Su Ping's avatar smiled and had her pick up the communication device, expressionlessly rejecting the supervisor's call request.
She verbally expressed her decision to resign.
Then, without waiting for the supervisor to be taken aback and start sending threats and temptations.
She blocked the supervisor and continued with her tasks.
Su Ping's avatar touched his nose, stood up, and decided to get to work.
"Does the qualitative change come so quickly?"
"Alright then, bring over the people this person values and protect them, then continue researching this civilization's excellent culture."
Su Ping's avatar had faintly felt that all visible Kali Civilization bodies were more or less affected by Grey Gold radiation.
This radiation involved the Divine Soul and the Consciousness Sea.
A technological civilization unable to explore soul levels can't detect this radiation.
They could only determine if an individual became a radiation source by detecting biological anomalies.
But when an individual exhibits biological anomalies.
It's all too late.
Su Ping's avatar was just a Netherworld Avatar, and due to time-space traversal, had lost a great amount of Mana.
Its actual combat strength could at most reach the Late Period of Qi Cultivation, and it still needed to consider the issue of mana not being quickly replenished.
