The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 1869 - 1868: Smack’s Words

Ling Feng immediately became serious and nodded, "Go ahead."

Smack didn’t speak right away. He glanced at the blonde woman, "Jenny, you need to leave!"

"Why?"

The woman was surprised and asked, somewhat taken aback.

"Because what I’m about to say is top secret and cannot be known by a third person!"

Smack was a bit impatient, his face turning cold as he said, "Hurry up and leave!"

Jenny was stunned, never having seen him treat her this way before. She bit her lip angrily and turned around to leave!

As the door slammed shut, Ling Feng looked at Smack with a wry smile, "Was that necessary? She’s probably the person closest to you, right? What’s the harm in letting her know?"

Smack did not answer the question, instead, he reached under the bed and took out something, handing it to Ling Feng, "I had this implanted in my body so it wasn’t destroyed. I’m handing it over to you now!"

"Hmm?"

Ling Feng was momentarily stunned, looking at the capsule-like object in surprise, asking, "Where did you get it implanted?"

"Rest assured, it’s not where you’re imagining, it’s under my armpit!"

Smack gave a bitter smile and continued, "This is a key. If I’m attacked again, it might be lost, so it’s better to give it to you!"

"What kind of key is it?"

Ling Feng looked at it and felt the capsule was so light, as if it weighed nothing at all.

"You know, I entered the telecommunications industry ten years ago. Since then, I’ve been involved in several undersea cable laying projects!" Smack said.

Ling Feng was taken aback and looked up at him, "Why are you going off on a tangent?"

"Don’t rush, I’ll explain slowly!"

Smack smiled and continued, "The world’s networks are connected through several large data centers via undersea cables, achieving global interconnectivity, with messages being sent anywhere in the world within a second!"

"I know, so what?" Ling Feng asked.

Smack smiled at him, "I laid the cables, it shouldn’t be a problem to insert a few strands for my own exclusive use, right?"

"And then?"

Ling Feng still didn’t quite understand, so he looked at him and asked.

"Initially, the plan was if the global network got clogged, I could use the backup network to communicate and make some money. However, I changed my mind later and laid a separate line for myself while laying the cables!"

"So even if the main trunk cables are cut, I have my own backup network!"

Hearing Smack’s words, Ling Feng took a deep breath, "Go on, I won’t interrupt you anymore!"

"We’re almost at the main point!"

Smack smiled and continued, "Mr. Ling, what do you think will happen if the global network goes down?"

Ling Feng shrugged, "For you big businessmen, maybe you’d lose a lot of money, but for ordinary people, life and work can still go on without much impact!"

"Then you’re wrong!"

Smack shook his head, "Although the internet has only been around for a few decades, depending on it for life, commerce, and even military purposes has become a norm worldwide for communication and information exchange!"

"If this thing gets cut, human civilization will regress by decades!"

"It’s not that serious, right? Aren’t there satellites and radio?"

Ling Feng scratched his head, "I think you’re exaggerating, and even if everything depends on the internet, surely countries have backup plans in case of a network outage!"

"Precisely!"

Smack nodded and then asked, "But there’s a problem, if someone has the ability to cut off the network, they might also block other means of communication, then what?"

"I don’t know!"

Ling Feng shrugged, somewhat helplessly shaking his head.

"If the last civil unrest in Mianluo Country utilized network disconnections, that country might no longer exist!" Smack said.

Although his expression was serious, Ling Feng was not entirely convinced, feeling it was too alarmist, so he smiled and said, "So you mean, these backup networks are to be handed to me? As soon as anyone tries cutting off international communications, just activate them?"

"Yes!"

Smack nodded, "Right now, Mr. Ling, you’re the only person I can trust, no one else!"

"..."

Ling Feng was speechless, seriously looking at him, thinking maybe this guy busted his brain during the explosion, leading to delusions?

But the capsule in his hand was real, so he thought for a moment, looked at Smack, and asked, "Is it that serious, a network disconnection can threaten the globe?"

Smack: "What about a military force after the network goes out?"

Ling Feng was stunned, "An armed invasion?"

"No!"

Smack shook his head, "Doing that is too foolish, even if there are still people dreaming of changing a nation or ethnic group, it’s an unrealistic aim that cannot be achieved in a short time."

"What are you trying to say?"

Ling Feng was getting annoyed, feeling Smack was being overly mysterious, somewhat convinced that his mental state was not well!

But unexpectedly, Smack raised his head and glanced at him, "The army I’m referring to could wipe out an entire country’s population, for example, creatures like monsters!"

Seeing Ling Feng’s shock, he laughed, "Forget about the people, only the land and resources are needed!"

"My God, this is insane!"

Ling Feng was shocked and then stunned, "Who could be so crazy, aren’t they afraid of provoking global outrage?"

"Most countries with a voice of authority are their people, who do you plan to provoke? The communications are down!" Smack asked.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng finally realized the gravity of the situation!

If it were true as he said, with a whole country’s population disappearing without most of the world knowing, it indeed was rather terrifying.

Raising his head, Ling Feng looked at Smack, "Just with your one key, can the problems be solved?"

"Not with absolute certainty, but at least fifty to sixty percent. At the very least, it could make them wary!" Smack stated.

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, "Doing this seems overly complicated, knowing it’s the Roth Family, why not settle it once and for all, wipe them out!"

"Them?"

Smack let out a bitter smile, "The Roth Family has been proliferating for nearly a thousand years, now those of pure lineage exceed over a hundred thousand scattered across the globe, controlling local politics and economy, how to exterminate all at once?"

"..."

Ling Feng was once again shocked to the core by what he heard.

Seeing his silence, Smack quickly continued, "So, what can be done now is to take preventative measures first, then establish a communication network of our own!"
