Su Mu carefully inspected the arrangements and left only after confirming that there were no problems.
With the day of the teleportation drawing ever closer, Su Mu began setting up the array in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
First, Su Mu arrived outside the city, called Gu Yu to join him, and then found a valley where he set up a huge illusion array to shroud the area.
Then Su Mu began to set up the super-large Teleportation Array little by little.
Gu Yu watched the whole thing from the sidelines, but didn't ask any questions. It seemed that what was most important to her was to learn something from Su Mu.
The 9th arrived in the blink of an eye.
Today is unusual in several provinces. Some companies have simply given employees a day off, while others, although not giving a day off, are keeping a close eye on the time and trying to give their employees a break at 1 p. m. sharp.
Today, the intervals between bus services have been significantly shortened, and special vehicles frequently whiz by on the roads.
Traffic police officers were on duty at almost every intersection.
"Attention everyone, all elevators must be shut down and empty by 5 PM! The subway must be completely shut down upon arrival."
"Several nearby bullet train and high-speed train services have been suspended."
"When night falls, ensure emergency lighting is available and assess manpower availability in each area."
It wasn't even six o'clock yet, and countless people were already on edge, their mission being to ensure that nothing went wrong today.
Right now, the other provinces are being watched closely by foreigners, and outsiders have no idea about the pressure they're under.
Recently, many foreign media outlets have taken the opportunity to smear them. If anything goes wrong, or even a small fire, these guys will easily magnify it and use it as a topic to attack them.
Because of this, the higher-ups have issued numerous requirements, demanding that this mission be completed perfectly.
Time passed slowly, the sun climbed high in the sky, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
At this moment, except for essential units, all units began to close for the holidays, and crowds of people walked out in dense streams.
Such a dense flow of people directly led to traffic being overloaded.
"Please don't rush home, take your time. It's only 1 p. m. now, and the large-scale power outage won't happen until 6 p. m. Please be patient!"
Due to the density of the crowd, traffic control personnel maintaining order immediately picked up megaphones and began shouting.
The repeated shouts did have some effect, and the crowd became less congested.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there were far fewer people lingering on the streets, as if it had suddenly become the New Year. Most of the people in the city had left, leaving the city empty.
"Those foreign guys insist on labeling Huaxia, but we'll teach them a lesson they won't forget: our unity and determination to never cause trouble for the country!"
"Exactly! They're smearing us on all sorts of social media platforms, it's absolutely disgusting! I want to see what they can say if we all stay home obediently and don't cause any trouble!"
The power was still on, and many netizens filmed videos of the deserted streets outside their homes and uploaded them online.
It's just staying home for ten or so hours, what's the big deal?
Unlike those guys from abroad, who act like staying at home for even a day is killing them, and who are always shouting for freedom!
Meanwhile, there were quite a few foreign media outlets in various major cities. They came mainly out of curiosity about why Huaxia was experiencing a large-scale power outage, and another reason was to see what would happen to Huaxia after the outage.
If this happened abroad, it would definitely cause public dissatisfaction, and might even lead to some unforeseen incidents.
These foreign media outlets are well aware of their own country's situation, and they are now looking forward to seeing how Huaxia would react in this situation.
However, to their surprise, with several hours still remaining before the power outage, these people obediently went home?
Why?
The people of Huaxia are so cooperative with the country? What a joke!
At this moment, foreign journalists walked down the street with cameras, wanting to interview some passersby to ask them what they thought or were unhappy about the sudden power outage.
After searching for a long time, they finally found someone, but the person was in a hurry to leave and didn't pay any attention to them at all.
And the traffic on the streets was eerily scarce!
When these videos were circulated overseas, many foreigners exclaimed in disbelief, finding it utterly impossible.
How could there possibly be a country that could achieve such a high level of cooperation simply because of a few notices?!
"Ten more minutes until six o'clock sharp, then you can begin."
Zhou Jianhua stood to the side, checked the time, and then said something.
His face was serious and somewhat nervous. There were many other people around him, and Su Mu even saw several steel behemoths.
This is clearly something they're guarding against.
Su Mu nodded, also somewhat nervous.
A thick fog rose up all around, covering an area completely.
It's obvious that this is the government taking action to prevent the information from being leaked.
On the Immortal Cultivation Realm side, Su Mu had already made all the preparations and was just waiting to activate the formation.

It's six o'clock!
Zhou Jianhua counted down the countdown and said directly.
Behind them, a group of scientists had set up various recording devices, already aimed at the open space in front of them, with countless instruments behind them.
Su Mu closed his eyes and arrived in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. After activating the Teleportation Array in front of him, he closed his eyes again and instantly returned to Earth.
Su Mu took a deep breath, walked to the center of the formation, and activated the core part with his Spiritual Power.
Then, Su Mu quickly retreated.
"Output power!"
"Output!"
As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, the staff member operating the power switch pulled down the switch and immediately responded.
At this moment, a massive amount of electricity surged directly into the center of the formation.
At first, there was nothing in the open space ahead, but as more and more electricity flowed in, a white and blue light began to appear faintly.
At that moment, the power to several surrounding provinces had been cut off, plunging them into darkness.
However, after the power outage, the public did not panic at all; instead, they started singing and dancing. Not only did various songs rang out, but some car owners even started their vehicles and turned on their headlights.
For a moment, although the power went out, the lights were just as bright as when there was no power outage.
