Chapter 157: Chapters 156, 157 Global Strategies (Additional chapters 1 and 2 for Zixuan Xian Emperor’s Silver Alliance) _2 Chapter 157: Chapters 156, 157 Global Strategies (Additional chapters 1 and 2 for Zixuan Xian Emperor’s Silver Alliance) _2 “The problem was in the Pacific Ocean, we had time to observe!”
Regarding this issue, they had a rather optimistic mindset.
At this moment, the most tense place was Sakura Island.
A press conference pushed Sakura Island into the eye of the storm. To avoid accusations from other places, they hurried to contact the world, asking their media not to report similar things.
“A huge price was paid, and the media around the world would not report this matter anymore. The main concern now was Shen Zhou, as their research concluded that there were a large number of mutant creatures in the Sakura Sea!”
“That He Xingzhou was still posting on social media, claiming that there might be a Zerg nest under the Sakura Sea and trench! Some people were protesting!”
“Was there really a so-called Zerg under the sea?” This question left everyone silent.
Ordinary people did not know, but how could they not?
In recent years, mutant creatures appeared more frequently, with incidents of harm and injury occurring endlessly!
As a result, activities such as coastal fishing, tourism, and maritime transport had long been reduced on a large scale. Yet, they still could not avoid occasional reports of mutant creatures coming ashore and harming people.
“We explored the ocean, and the number of mutant creatures was indeed large. But there was no discovery of a so-called Zerg or a Zerg nest,” one of the officials said.
“Then was there or wasn’t there?” the leader questioned.
“This… this was not detected yet,” he could only respond this way.
“Also, the coastal and marine security forces had to be strengthened! We needed to be prepared.”
“These preparations, do not disclose them to the public, and maintain normal economic activities externally!”
The Lantern Country, also a Pacific coastal country, erupted in chaos as soon as the news from across the ocean was announced.
Some information had already spread before it was blocked.
It caused great shock among the local people. On social media, netizens argued non-stop.
“Protect the environment! Protect the ocean, we are planning to march in the streets! If you agree, please join us!”
“That He Xingzhou was a madman, no one would believe him!”
“There were no aliens in the world, only God! They were all fallen devils!”
“It was a ploy used by He Xingzhou against us, don’t believe it!”
“Mutant creatures were real! I must emphasize, the media was deceiving us! I was just a sailor, I saw many!”
“Even if there were mutant creatures, we could send out a fleet to bomb them all! We had the world’s most powerful fleet, didn’t we?”
“What they were saying was true! I wanted to expose it, I used to be part of the Ocean Research Organization, I had evidence that mutant creatures were very dangerous!” Barry also posted online, appealing.
But before he could upload his research report, he found that his account had been banned, prohibiting him from making any statements.
“Glug glug glug…” the parrot mocked from the side, “Great Martyr Sir, do you need help?”
“Did they think they could shut me up this way?” Barry gritted his teeth, “I still had ways!”
In a certain square, Rodney, the head of the International Ocean Investigation Organization, was giving a speech.
“Regarding the recent news from Shen Zhou, I think everyone had heard a lot. Zergs, doomsday, the Xuanwu Plan! My God, as humans of the twenty-first century, did they really need to fear some marine creatures?” Rodney made an exaggerated expression, provoking laughter from the crowd below.
“Honestly, I couldn’t understand this behavior. I heard they also planned to build a Steel Great Wall, and I had every reason to suspect that they wanted to create a tourist destination, then tell the entire world, hey, everybody, we had a new Great Wall, come over to travel, hand over your cash!”
“Hahaha…” The crowd laughed again. Rodney had a great comedic talent, able to perfectly combine tone and body language.
“Rodney, now, did you mean that mutant creatures were not alien creatures and posed no threat to us, right?” a reporter asked.
“Of course, without a doubt,” Rodney affirmed, “Our World Ocean Research Organization had the world’s top experts! We had been all over the world, researching for a full three years!”
“I could clearly tell you, the talk of Zergs and such was all deceit. No alien creatures, no Zergs! Our ocean was still safe, and our ships could navigate the four oceans!”
“We humans still stood atop the Blue Star ecological circle, all untrue reports were rumors!”
Upon hearing his definitive answer, the crowd at the scene applauded and cheered.
Rodney was very pleased. These days, because of the attention to the ocean, the public support for him was increasing!
What he said was what everyone wanted to hear, and also what the capitalists were willing to hear.
As long as everything was safe, everyone could continue to enjoy, continue to be happy, and continue with luxurious indulgence!
Just as he was smug, a series of shouts arose around him.
Someone was shouting, “Rodney is a liar!”
“Mutant creatures were real, and so were the Zergs!”
“I was from the Ocean Research Organization, I had evidence! Everyone, please see, this was a mutant creature!”
More voices were shouting, “Rodney is a liar!”
“Get Rodney out! We needed to give the public the truth!”
“The world was facing a great catastrophe! We needed to unite!”
Upon hearing these words, Rodney’s heart had already turned cold, but he tried to maintain a fake smile on his face.
