Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

Chapter 5003

"How about we go to the moon again?"

Zhou Ke'er suggested, her eyes sparkling.

She took Zhang Yi's arm and analyzed, "The closest planet to us right now is the moon, and a round trip would only take a day or two. Besides, we have connections with the Moon people, so we should be able to negotiate."

Zhang Yi smiled helplessly: "I don't think it's going to work!"

"Resources, especially the extremely precious ones we want, are probably something they're unwilling to give away!"

The moon is not very big, and it is divided between two major Lunarian empires. They know that an even greater disaster will soon befall them, so who would be willing to share their precious resources?

Moreover, Zhang Yi and his team need a huge amount of resources to develop technology.

“Mars,” Yang Xinxin said softly, “Mars’ resources may be our only option.”

"Mars?"

Fatty Xu stood up from the sofa next to him and said with some surprise, "You mean, we're going to Mars to get resources?"

Yang Xinxin nodded.

She had just heard Zhang Yi speak when she started looking up information.

"Mars is currently only 7800 million kilometers away from Earth. We can upgrade the engines and travel there aboard the Dreamer spacecraft. It will take less than a month to reach it."

"According to astronomers' exploration, Mars may contain the resources we need, especially rare metals and energy minerals."

Lu Keran's eyes immediately lit up as she said, "That's right! If there are exploitable mineral deposits on Mars, we can definitely establish a resource base there and solve our current resource problem!"

The Cangyuan Clan's technology is indeed impressive. With the Dreamer having flown to the moon once, Zhang Yi already has experience with space travel and is not so worried.

But he also knew that the trip to Mars would not be easy.

It is a planet filled with countless imaginations and rumors; some people once believed that life existed on Mars.

Because the environment there is most similar to Earth, for many years, netizens have tirelessly searched for signs of life in photos sent back from Mars.

Twenty years ago, Colombia's richest man built a spaceship and flew to Mars.

Zhang Yi rubbed his fingers together and slowly said:

"Mars is indeed relatively close to us, so we can go there to explore its resources."

"The previous claims about life on Mars now seem more likely to be about an ancient civilization. We need to proceed with caution."

"In addition, twenty years ago, Colombian billionaire Elon Freeman led a team of volunteers to Mars, but there has been no news of them since."

"We must thoroughly investigate the intelligence on Mars before proceeding with caution."

Yang Xinxin frowned slightly: "If there really is an underground civilization on Mars, then we must be fully prepared. Freeman once led a team to explore it, and perhaps they encountered danger."

Zhang Yi nodded: "I need to get in touch with the Pupil Organization. Freeman used to be a member of the Pupil Organization, so maybe they know more about the situation."

Without any delay, Zhang Yi quickly dialed the number of Milwyn Blatt, a member of the Pupil Organization and known as "The King's Underworld".

After the video call connected, Blatt's face appeared on the screen.

His expression was accompanied by a polite smile. "Oh, it's my dear Knight of Illusion, Lord Chaos! It's rare for you to contact me first. May I ask what brings you here?"

“Mr. Blatt, I have a few questions about Mars.”

Zhang Yi asked directly, "After Elon Freeman and his team went to Mars twenty years ago, did they still have contact with the Pupil Organization?"

Blatt was somewhat surprised; he seemed not to have expected that Zhang Yi would ask him not about ancient civilizations on Earth, but about planets in the universe.

Blatt's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't hide anything: "Freeman is a very self-centered person. His initial intention in joining the Pupil Organization was only to use us. Rather, we never really cooperated at all. He did go missing after going to Mars, and we haven't received any further news about him."
