Perhaps some may question, after so many years of disappearing without a trace, almost fading from people's sight and memory, why does vanishing now still cause trouble? Actually, before coming down, Gu Tao had already told her, though his health is truly terrible now, his mind is still sharp.

Very quickly, problems would arise. Humans are a peculiar yet terrible race, and although it's unwelcome, one must acknowledge this. Once the crisis passes, the current unity will quickly disintegrate. Previously, the base might still be able to keep things in check, but as the living forces deplete and the base can no longer fully control the field, multiple factions will form a standoff, causing secondary damage after the apocalypse crisis, possibly even exceeding this apocalypse crisis.
