Outside the cave, the warm scene of Chen Hao and Lin Yun embracing seemed to freeze time. However, the intense preparatory work inside the cave was like a marathon race against time.
Professor Wang and Li Qiang, with furrowed brows, were engrossed in busying themselves with the electronic devices in front of them under the light. They knew that the upcoming action was related to the fate of all mankind and could not afford the slightest mistake.
"Li Qiang, have there been any definite replies from those international media we contacted?" Professor Wang looked up, his eyes filled with anxiety.
Li Qiang rubbed his sore eyes and nodded. "Several have said they're willing to assist, but they're worried about the pressure from the government once they release the news. They're demanding that we provide irrefutable evidence."
Professor Wang let out a long sigh. "This is inevitable. The documents we've sorted out are sufficient to prove the government's conspiracy, but we still need to organize the key information more clearly so that it's easy to understand."
Meanwhile, Chen Hao and Lin Yun ended their short break at the other end of the cave and returned to work. They classified and summarized the sorted documents and materials, ensuring that each piece of evidence could play a crucial role at a critical moment.
"Chen Hao, do you think the public will believe us after we release this information?" Lin Yun suddenly stopped what she was doing, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Chen Hao took her hand and gave her a determined look. "Yes, they will, Lin Yun. The truth cannot be concealed. As long as we present the evidence to them, they will believe it. Moreover, this concerns everyone's life and death, and they have no reason not to believe."
Lin Yun nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and regained her spirits. "You're right. We can't let everyone down. We must expose the truth to the world."
Time passed minute by minute. After days and nights of unremitting efforts by everyone, the action plan was finally ready.
At the last meeting before the action, Professor Wang looked at everyone with a serious expression. "There's no turning back for this action. Once we start, we must go all out. The government surely won't stand by idly. We need to be prepared to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations."
Everyone nodded, their eyes revealing firm determination.
Chen Hao stood up, looking at his companions beside him. A warm feeling surging in his heart said, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we'll face them together. For the future of all mankind, we must succeed."
As the action time approached, the atmosphere in the cave became increasingly tense. Li Qiang sat in front of the computer, quickly tapping his fingers on the keyboard, ready to upload the documents and materials to the Internet anytime. Chen Hao and Lin Yun stood behind him, staring closely at the screen, their palms sweating.
"3, 2, 1, release!" Li Qiang pressed the Enter key, and the documents instantly spread across the Internet like a tide.
Almost simultaneously, international media also followed up with reports. The news about the government's conspiracy and the doomsday prophecy behind the mysterious signals, like a blockbuster, caused a huge stir worldwide.
As soon as the news spread, the Internet immediately crashed. Major social media platforms were flooded with discussions from the public.
"Is this true? How could the government do this?"
"What should we do? Is the end of the world coming?" All kinds of voices rose and fell.
Inside the government building, there was chaos. After learning that the news had leaked, the officials flew into a rage.
"Block the news immediately and shut down all relevant websites!" A senior official roared angrily.
However, it was already too late. The information on the Internet, like a spark, had become a prairie fire. Governments of various countries tried to block the news through technical means. However, under the resistance of numerous international media and network technology experts, the effect was minimal.
Chen Hao and the others closely monitored the online dynamics. Seeing that the news spread widely, they felt both excited and worried. They were excited that they had finally taken the first step in revealing the truth. They were worried that the government surely wouldn't give up easily, and they would face even more severe challenges next.
Sure enough, not long after, the government issued a statement, claiming that this was a malicious rumour spread by some law-breakers trying to disrupt social order. At the same time, a large number of police forces were dispatched to search for the whereabouts of Chen Hao and the others.
"We have to move. This place is no longer safe," Professor Wang said.
Everyone quickly packed up important items and left the cave. They shuttled through the mountains and forests, evading the police's pursuit.
During the escape, they continuously received news from various places. The public began to organize spontaneously, protesting the government's concealment, demanding that the government disclose the truth and take measures to deal with the impending disaster.
"It seems that the public believes us," Lin Yun said with relief.
Chen Hao nodded. "This is just the first step. We need to get more people to take action and jointly confront this disaster."
On the way to escape, while evading the pursuit, Chen Hao and the others continued to collect evidence, preparing to further expose the government's conspiracy. They knew very well that this struggle against the dark forces had just begun, and they were shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving all mankind and could never back down.
One day, they temporarily settled in a remote town. Chen Hao sat in the room, looking at the chaotic street outside, filled with mixed feelings. The once prosperous world had fallen into chaos because of an unknown disaster and the government's conspiracy.
"Chen Hao, what should we do next?" Lin Yun entered the room and asked softly.
Chen Hao turned around, looked at Lin Yun, and said firmly, "We need to find more allies to jointly oppose the government. At the same time, we have to figure out how to decipher the part of the signals regarding dealing with the disaster. Only in this way can we truly save humanity."
Lin Yun walked up to Chen Hao and took his hand. "No matter what decision you make, I'll always support you."
Chen Hao embraced Lin Yun. "Thank you, Lin Yun. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
Just then, Li Qiang rushed in. "Chen Hao, Professor Wang, we've received news that a mysterious organization is willing to cooperate with us. They seem to have some key information about dealing with the disaster."
Chen Hao and Lin Yun looked at each other, a glimmer of hope flashing.
"Really? Tell us quickly, where is this organization?" Chen Hao asked eagerly.
Li Qiang took out a note. "This is the address they gave, in an abandoned factory. However, we need to be careful. We don't know if this is a trap."
Chen Hao took the note and pondered for a moment. "Whether it's a trap or not, we have to go and see. This might be our only chance to save humanity."
After some discussion, everyone decided to go to the abandoned factory to meet the mysterious organization.
