Chapter 1060: Despair, giving light

Zhao Zhiming glanced at Gu Chen, then nodded slightly to the captain of the rescue team.

The rescue team leader immediately understood what he meant and nodded, "Yes!"

After shouting, he turned around and trotted to everyone to prepare to return.

Gu Chen did not need Zhao Zhiming to remind him. After the rescue team made preparations for the return trip, he turned around and got on the return vehicle with Zhao Zhiming, and returned to the base after a bumpy ride.

Perhaps Gu Chen deliberately acted very obviously, so when he returned to the base, all the Earth Defense Force commanders noticed that something was wrong with Gu Chen's condition.

Although Gu Chen had a calm expression when he left the base, they now felt a sense of dejection and despair from him.

This instantly aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Get ready. We need to hold a meeting. It's a global meeting held in my name."

Facing everyone's curious gazes, Gu Chen spoke calmly and said something that made people's hearts skip a beat.

How serious is the situation that requires a global conference?

As everyone thought this, they quickly took action and ordered others to issue a meeting notice to the Earth Defense Force worldwide.

About ten minutes later, the communication screen of the Earth Defense Force of various countries popped up on the big screen in the conference room. Not only representatives from various countries who were not present, but also representatives from various countries who were present also appeared on the screen.

Because the global conference is not only for the top leaders of the Earth Defense Force, but also for the top politicians from various governments.

Obviously, all countries have attached great importance to the global conference initiated by Gu Chen, especially in the current situation where the world is shrouded in darkness.

Seeing that everyone was present and no one was left out, Gu Chen slowly opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, I won't say too much nonsense. The purpose of my convening this global conference is to synchronize the real situation we humans are facing with you."

"I guarantee with my life that everything I say next is true."

"First of all, we need to make one thing clear. The crisis we are facing now is not a simple disaster caused by a monster from the universe, but..."

After finishing his opening remarks, Gu Chen relayed the information that Zuo Fei had told him to everyone present and representatives from various countries participating in the meeting via video communication.

As Gu Chen continued his story, the representatives from various countries showed shock on their faces, then solemnity, and finally gradually more and more different expressions appeared.

Fear, numbness, despair, emptiness...all kinds of expressions appeared on the faces of representatives from various countries and the Earth Defense Force commanders present.

"...In summary, I believe you all have a good understanding of the situation we are facing now. Facing the dark forces that once caused turmoil that affected the entire universe, can we, who are trapped on Earth, really cope with it?"

"Right now, the dark power only affects the monsters. I don't know when we humans will also be affected by the dark power and become zombie puppets that lose their minds and only know how to kill without reason. By that time, will we really be able to protect our families or the people we want to protect in the turmoil?"

“Even… at that time, can we protect ourselves from being corrupted and becoming zombie puppets that only know how to kill?”

As Gu Chen finished his last sentence, the entire conference room fell into deathly silence.

At this meeting, the amount of information provided by Gu Chen was really enormous. Although there were no pictures or video materials, just based on Gu Chen's description, everyone imagined in their minds the various tragic situations that occurred in the universe when the cosmic turmoil occurred.

Especially when Gu Chen said that the Galactic Federation created by the Kingdom of Light and other interstellar civilizations fell apart in the cosmic turmoil, everyone felt extremely afraid of the dark forces that caused the cosmic turmoil.

Even a behemoth like the Galactic Federation cannot withstand the turmoil caused by the dark forces, so how can a tiny Earth like them withstand it?

What's more, those dark forces will specifically target individuals with evil thoughts to influence them, transforming them into zombie puppets that only know how to kill.

Then the question arises: the evil thoughts that arise in the human heart can make even their own kind feel horrified.

If the dark power begins to affect humans, I wonder how many people will be transformed into zombie puppets in an instant.

Because from Gu Chen's description, everyone learned that as long as there are evil thoughts in the heart, they will be gradually magnified under the influence of dark forces.

Once he could no longer suppress his growing evil thoughts, it was almost certain that he would become a zombie puppet.

"So... we really have no other options but to wait for death?"

After a long time, Zhao Zhiming slowly opened his mouth and then looked at Gu Chen who had finished his speech.

"It's a good thing for us that the dark power can only affect monsters and not humans for now. I guess as long as we eliminate Mururoa who is affected by the dark power, we can indirectly affect the dark power."

"But... Taro has fallen now, and Zoffy has lost the ability to continue fighting. As for Tiga... he didn't show up before, and it's hard to say whether he will show up in the future. What can we do now?"

Gu Chen turned to look at Zhao Zhiming and said lightly.

"You must have a way, right? You must have one, right?! Staff Officer Gu Chen!"

After hearing what Gu Chen said, some people could no longer sit still. They stood up suddenly, knocked over the chairs, rushed to Gu Chen, grabbed his arms and started shouting.

Gu Chen looked at the Earth Defense Force representative who was pulling his arm excitedly, looked at his bloodshot eyes and the glimmer of hope in them, and nodded slowly.

This action immediately attracted the attention of everyone present and on the screen.

"Colonel Gu, can you please tell me what method can help us get through this difficult time?"

Zhao Zhiming immediately asked.

"If we want to overcome the current difficulties, the key point lies in the Giant of Light. If... we can make Taro stand up again, maybe we will have a chance of winning."

Facing the people whose eyes were flashing with hope because of his small action, Gu Chen spoke slowly.

"But... isn't Taro already... dead?"

Hearing Gu Chen's words, everyone was stunned, and then one of them spoke with a little hesitation.

"Yes, so we have to find a way to bring Taro back to life, and to do this, we need to provide Taro with a lot of light."

Gu Chen nodded and continued.
