The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 582

"Can you all read this text clearly?" Minister Zhang asked. Everyone nodded.

"This plan has existed for over a hundred years." Minister Zhang smiled faintly, and seeing the astonished expressions on everyone's faces, he continued, "This plan was personally designated by the highest leaders of our China in the past. As for who these highest leaders are, I cannot tell you right now. In any case, you only need to know that this plan is of extraordinary significance. I hope that each of you will take this line of text very seriously and keep it a secret. If you dare to reveal even a little bit about the contents of this plan to the outside world, I guarantee that not only you, but also your family and descendants will suffer terribly."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the conference room immediately became tense, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Minister Zhang to explain further.

It turns out to be a secret plan designated by the highest authority in China, and it has existed for over a hundred years. No matter how you look at it, this plan is of the highest importance and secrecy!

"Regarding the number 3157, I can only tell one of you. Now I'll focus on why it's called Project Predator." Minister Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "The term 'predator' means plunder, so what exactly are we plundering?"

"Crystal wall resources!"

Minister Zhang suddenly uttered these four words: "No one knows exactly what this thing is, because to this day, no country has obtained it. You only need to remember that this thing is extremely precious and important; its importance is enough to determine the rise and fall of a nation!"

Minister Zhang himself didn't know what crystal wall resources were. He had only heard the previous minister of the Heavenly Group mention the term, because in that report, which was over a hundred pages long and nearly a million words long, crystal wall resources were described thousands of times. It could be said that crystal wall resources were the core of Project 3157, the Predator Project.

The core of the core.

"Could it be a resource similar to oil?" one of them muttered to himself.

“No.” Minister Zhang shook his head: “Nobody knows what it is because nobody has ever seen such a thing. Crystal wall resources only exist in legends.”

"System, what crystal wall resources?" Ma Yunteng quickly asked in his mind.

"If you can come out alive after entering the surrounding realm, you will know!" the system said.

What?

Did you manage to get out of there alive?

Ma Yunteng was stunned for a moment. Minister Zhang had sent ten of them into the Zhoujie area. Didn't they all come out alive? Could they possibly be dead?

“Minister Zhang, since this thing is so important, why not send more brothers with us? That way, our safety will be guaranteed!” one of the generals asked.

Minister Zhang sighed and said, "Crystal Wall resources are important, but we don't want too many people to sacrifice themselves! Because, every year, only... one person can walk out of that place!"

What!

Hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

So many people went there, but only one person managed to come out alive?

Wouldn't that be like going there to your death?

Chapter 451 Treat it as a trip

Wouldn't that be like going there to your death?

hiss……

In the conference room, everyone gasped. What kind of mission was this? Only one person could come out alive. The risk level was just too high!

"Minister Zhang... since you say this mission is a long-term plan that has lasted for more than a hundred years, then shouldn't our China have predecessors who carried out this mission before? Among them, is it possible that only one has survived so far?" A lieutenant general stood up and asked in shock.

His problem is one that everyone is concerned about.

After all, this was a life-or-death situation. Although they were all members of the Heavenly Group and none of them were cowards, each of them had concerns. Who would be willing to make a pointless sacrifice? Naturally, they wanted to know more about the fates of the predecessors who had carried out this mission in the past.

“Wrong.” Minister Zhang shook his head, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his eye. “Every time the perimeter opens, countries around the world send their elites to participate in this project. The perimeter opens once every fifteen years, and China has participated ten times… Historical records show that not a single person survived!”

"What!"

Everyone was completely dumbfounded. Ten rounds in total, and not a single person survived? That meant total annihilation!

Even Ma Yunteng couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. Damn it, they summoned him here only to send him to his death! However, the more this was the case, the more Ma Yunteng looked forward to this trip to the surrounding area.

"According to the Heavenly Group's internal records, only one person survived the recent perimeter expeditions from around the world. He was a European, but after he emerged, he became mentally unstable and unable to communicate normally with outsiders." Minister Zhang smiled awkwardly. "Alright, let me repeat myself. This perimeter expedition is extremely dangerous and the mission is very demanding. If any of you are considering backing out, you can leave now. The Heavenly Group does not force anyone to participate in this mission! Of course, if any of you, or one of you, manage to emerge alive without going insane, you will become a hero of all of China, and your descendants will enjoy the highest honor in China because of you! If you can bring the crystal wall resources out intact, hehe, think about the benefits yourself!"

While saying this, Minister Zhang kept his eyes fixed on Ma Yunteng.

This statement seems to have been specifically addressed to Ma Yunteng.

Minister Zhang was well aware that this mission was fraught with danger, and among the ten of them, it was obvious that Ma Yunteng would be the one to make it to the end.

"Ahem... Well, I'd like to ask, if this item falls into the hands of other countries, will China suffer any losses?" Ma Yunteng asked with a slight smile.

"That's an excellent question. The fact that you asked it shows you're a patriot!" Minister Zhang smiled with satisfaction. "Actually, the reason we in China have never stopped this project is not because we don't value your lives! Life is always the most precious thing! But! No one knows how important the impact of crystal wall resources really is. If that thing falls into the hands of other countries or malicious people, then the world will be plunged into chaos!"

Everyone's expression immediately darkened.

Now they finally understood why China had sent them to carry out this mission.

To put it nicely, it's about competing for crystal wall resources.

To put it bluntly, it's actually to prevent other countries from obtaining crystal wall resources!

"So that's how it is. No wonder the mortality rate is so high."

Ma Yunteng's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood why only one person could walk out from within the perimeter each time. The countries around the world must have been engaged in a brutal battle to seize the crystal wall resources!

Another possibility is that something terrifying exists within the perimeter, plundering the lives of everyone.
