Leveling Technology To Save Humanity-Chapter 50: Are You In, Or Are You Out?

Gort slowly retracted his face, looking at Larkh and his mentors. Then his gaze settled in Khalea’s group and the military personnel once more.

"I know you all may not believe me, nor will you understand... but as of now, the clock is ticking and we are running out of time!"

Running out of time? Is Mr. Gort dying?... How come they couldn’t understand what he was saying?

Clare Rei, Park Fairbang and several others looked around with guilty expressions, as though hiding something. freewebnøvel.com

Gort didn’t wish to say anything on the world impending destruction just yet. However, who knew it would be Thulu who spoke out first?

It seems she didn’t even know that her words were enough to cause a tsunami.

"Brother Gort, are you talking about the end of the world? Are you talking about the end of the world coming in a few months time?"

"_" [Gort and his gang]

"_" [All guests]

"Eh? Why is everyone so quiet?"

"_"

Tunada shot a murderous glare at her husband. Who told him to tell Thulu about it? Didn’t they promise they would keep her out of it for now?

Larkh flinched from his wife’s glare, knowing that tonight, he would be sleeping on the floor.

Mayor Akin almost missed his step just now.

What... What the hell did they mean by saying the world was coming to an end?

Hey, hey, HEY! Don’t just start something and stop there!

Even Khalea, Payne and Erin looked pale white when getting the news.

Can such news be trusted?

Thulu scratched her head in confusion "... Brother Gort, did I say something wrong?"

"No." Gort chuckled, ruffling her hair softly. "However, you must never tell another person again, okay?"

"Sure!" Well, Thulu was happy. She did nothing wrong.

With that, she went to get snacks.

"_" [the Onlookers]

Come back here and take more responsibility for the mess you made!

30 minutes later, everyone still couldn’t believe what they heard.

??????

A flood that wipes out all of humanity?... No wonder the great Professor Larkh and many others would move their families here.

Gort raised his shoulders wryly. "You can’t blame me for hiding it right? I wrote and tried my best to get the news out, but many top minds said it was rubbish and would undoubtedly never happen."

Forget the geniuses. Even they still find it hard to believe. They also knew that with the way the world works and those in military positions, they would never truly take this matter seriously.

That is, until they start getting physical evidence of strange sightings and floods happening across the world.

Perhaps only when the water rise is very obvious, before they really take action.

Imagine they pump millions and billions into it only for it to be false?

Sorry but the risk was too high.

Besides, if a collection of top scientists and geniuses test it out now and get negative results, do you want them to not believe these people?

Are you expecting them to believe a small boy who just dropped out of school?

No, you do the math. Who will you believe? Geniuses that have lived for long, making contributions, or a small brat?

Larkh also said he contacted a few friends, and they carried out the so-called analysis and tests, only to prove that no such thing will happen.

They felt it was insane for them to even believe Gort’s crazy ideas in the first place. But after seeing all he could do, as well as assessing the sharpness of his mind, they felt there might be some truth to what he said.

Khalea thoughtfully drummed her fingers on her arms crossed around her chest. "So, because you knew no one would believe or find your theories, you decided to create these technologies to generate wealth?"

"Hm-hm," Gort agreed honestly. "If no one will help me save humanity, then I’ll do it myself."

"Amiable." Erin added, liking Gort more and more.

Hold on...

"Then the food. You learned how to artificially grow them for the future too, right?"

Gort nodded again.

Well, it makes sense. When the waters cover the world as he predicted, there will be no food.

According to him, the waters will also be toxic for hundreds of years. So how can they rely on fishing to fill their bellies?

Perhaps they will still fish. However, they must remove the toxins from the fishes before consumption.

Now that they think about it, there’s just so much to consider when it comes to Humanity’s future.

Suddenly, the usually jovial and merry Khelt Kin was in dire need of a cigarette.

No one minded when he took the one Park Fairbang offered and began to smoke. Even Khalea who often lashes out at him, allowed him to smoke just this once.

"Kid, the deal earlier is off."

"The military will pay full price for the goods. What’s more, I will be sending my units here for training and any assistance you need."

"Normally, I won’t believe any hogwash about the end of the world from anyone. But–" Khelt Kin paused to look out a whiff of thick smoke. "My kid in the hospital is showing signs of awakening thanks to you."

"–And quite frankly, I am yet to see any better agricultural and technological creations from the so-called geniuses who debunked your theories."

"So yeah... I’d say I’ll be more than willing to help you save humanity."

Khelt Kin was a straightforward person.

If the Apocalypse was coming in the form of a Mega Flood, then he better prepare fast. And if it was all false in the end, it’s okay.... After seeing Gort’s ability of making money as if he was the god of wealth, Khelt Kin felt he would still not lose much—Only Reputation.

Shaking his head wryly, Khelt Kin sighed.

If... If he told his buddies that he was planning for an incoming Flood, do you know how much they would mock him?

Sorry, even his enemies will nail him to the coffin with this matter, feeling he must be sent for Psych-evaluations and stripped from his high-ranking position.

Still, something in Khelt Kin told him that this was a gamble he was going to win—a gamble that the Flood’s coming was REAL.

"Alright, brat... What do you need me to do?"
