"This is the Parallel Spacetime Mutual Aid Society..."
When Cheng Wanli received the broadcast message, the Mutual Aid Society's broadcast had already been played several times around the world.
In the past two days, in order to fully grasp the weather changes in the Snowpiercer Spacetime, we have taken immediate measures to counteract the impact of the super cold air mass.
The Mutual Aid Society has actually built a global satellite network in the Snowpiercer Spacetime using a Spacetime Tunnel, which can obtain real-time weather information for all countries and regions.
Because they were launched from the air, only a few major powers vaguely noticed these satellites, but due to the current special circumstances, they did not attract much attention.
Especially in North America... Xxs-2
You're saying a huge space station suddenly appeared in near-Earth orbit?!
Inside the shelter.
Mather's voice echoed several times throughout the office.
The secretary suppressed the urge to cover her ears, calmly nodded, and said, "Yes, sir."
"A strange broadcast suddenly came from outside. We tried to trace the signal source and found that space station in the sky..."
On Mather's desk were images sent back by various departments, some taken by satellite and others by ground-based telescopes.
Despite the differences in clarity, each of the images clearly demonstrates one fact—
A huge thing really appeared in the sky!
When was it launched? Didn't we track their rocket?
Mather subconsciously thought of Cheng Wanli.
Clever as he was, he had even considered that this space station might be used by Cheng Wanli to escape...
However, the secretary shook his head. "Our satellite network has not detected any unusual rocket launches recently. A space station of such a large mass could not have been assembled without multiple rocket launches."
Mather stared, mouth agape, at the photo on the table.
The meaning is obvious.
This thing wasn't launched up there, so did it appear out of thin air?
The secretary pretended not to understand, coughed twice, and continued, "Actually, NASA has also discovered other anomalies in space these past two days, such as the sudden appearance of enormous satellites in some orbits..."
"These also show no signs of ground-based launch..."
What are you trying to say?
"Hmm... I wanted to say..."
The origins of these satellites and space stations may be related to the previously observed strange plasma jets.
As she spoke, the secretary pressed the record button on her laptop. "This is a broadcast from those satellites and space stations."
The broadcasts to North America are in English and Spain.
Mather naturally listened to the English version.
But after listening for a while, he felt a little confused.
A pair of bewildered eyes stared at the secretary.
"Really? I don't believe it."
The secretary gave him a strange look:
"Among the forces claiming responsibility for the plasma jets, this is currently the most credible; at least they're not some strange religion, and they even have their space station in the sky."
Mather shook his head again.
"Parallel universes, aliens... aren't these things only possible in movies?"
"But it has indeed happened. NASA scientists believe this broadcast has a high degree of credibility, and we can try to make contact with it."
"This may involve diplomatic matters, so your permission is required..."
The secretary tried to persuade them from the side.
However, Mather just kept shaking his head; he didn't want to believe the news, and he was even less willing to believe it.
Since the CW-7 emissions began, he has been acting according to the standard that humanity will soon become extinct.
This makes it seem like he has a lot of problems and flaws.
For example, he completely neglected political affairs during this period, and the rescue and dispatch work in various places was also a complete mess, with the local governments and the people relying entirely on themselves to hold on.
The Typhoon caused more damage than ever before, and he didn't say a word.
If the future is indeed as he predicts, and humanity soon faces extinction, leaving only him and a few others to survive in the shelter, then none of this will be a major problem.
Everyone will understand him then.
After all, the overall situation was already set by then, and everyone knew how terrifying this global cooling was; it was beyond human control, and even his diligence would have been useless.
He could even continue to serve as the director of the shelter based on his current status.
The problem is, he didn't include a plot point in the script where "a peace organization from a parallel universe would come to their aid in overcoming the disaster"...
Who the hell could have known that this would affect all of humanity?
Is facing extinction a prerequisite for summoning a parallel universe?!
If human civilization is truly saved.
Given his behavior during this period, he will definitely be held accountable.
It might even reveal the truth about the global cooling plan...
By then, we'll be completely finished!
"Sir?" The secretary continued to try to persuade him, but seeing his absent-minded expression, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Oh," Mather looked up. "I'm thinking about something."
"We need to respond to them as soon as possible, ideally being the first to communicate with them and gaining the upper hand..."
"Give me some peace and quiet!"
Mather turned to reprimand his secretary, his heart pounding; the rest of his life would depend on his next decision.
First, should we cooperate with people from these parallel universes?
Although deeply involved in global cooling initiatives, they could even be considered the culprits behind attempts to exterminate humanity.
but...
Mather thought about it and decided that his best course of action now was to try his best to save all of humanity.
It wasn't some sudden change of heart.
It was purely out of necessity.
Refusing to cooperate would be highly suspicious.
Moreover, since he didn't board the Snowpiercer, although he could survive in the shelter, it wouldn't be a comfortable life.
If the current situation can be salvaged, then given his status, he can at least live a more comfortable life.
Of course, how to cooperate is an art.
In any case, he cannot reveal the true purpose of the global cooling plan.
Otherwise, let alone living a comfortable life.
The other partners have to get rid of him first.
He has to stir things up!
Under the secretary's watchful gaze, Mather slowly broke out in a cold sweat. He picked up a tissue and wiped it away, then said, feigning composure, "Have you ever considered why those people would help us?"
"Because they hope we can join their organization and contribute to other timelines in the future?" The secretary repeated the exact words from the broadcast.
However, Mather immediately refuted this claim. "No!"
"In my opinion, things are far more complicated than that."
"Why couldn't we find these people from parallel universes before, but now that a deadly crisis has occurred, they suddenly appear?"
Where do you think they were before?
