Chapter 214: Official Announcement of Alien Civilizations
Chapter 214: Official Announcement of Alien Civilizations
In the video, Commissar Zhang did not speak immediately but waited calmly for five seconds.
After the five seconds, he began, "Hello everyone. Let me introduce myself. I am Commissar Zhang Ling of the Southeast Military Region. I am using this video to announce a critical piece of information to the public: our Blue Planet is under threat from an alien civilization."
At the bottom of the video, subtitles in five languages, including Chinese, ensured that everyone could understand what he was saying.
However, the people who heard this were utterly bewildered.
Alien civilizations?
Aliens?
Is this for real?
Whether it was the wealthy individuals sipping red wine and driving Ferraris, the construction workers sweating under the sun, or the players grinding for gear in the game, everyone stared at their screens in shock, unable to believe what they were hearing.
Commissar Zhang slowed his pace and continued, "The incident occurred one and a half months ago. At that time, we unexpectedly received a brief message from an alien civilization, written in over a dozen Earth languages. The message had only one key point: war."
"The civilization that sent the message calls itself the Singer Civilization. They are acting as the referee, allowing another civilization—the Skrull Civilization—to invade our Blue Planet."
For the next ten minutes, Commissar Zhang provided detailed information about the Singer Civilization and the Skrull Civilization, supported by numerous photos and videos of Skrulls, Skrull spaceships, and spatial rifts as evidence.
Initially, most people were skeptical, thinking it must be a joke or a CGI creation by some special effects company.
But the images were too real!
Midway through the video, the top and second-in-command leaders appeared on screen, delivering important statements.
Seeing their figures, the people finally realized that everything in the video was true!
Because if it were a prank, the creators would have to be prepared to leave Blue Planet, as no one would dare include these two leaders in a hoax.
"Am I dreaming?" Some people pinched their arms, while others slapped their faces, hoping to wake up from this terrifying "dream."
But all their efforts were in vain, for they were not dreaming.
Many people began to feel disoriented, breathe rapidly, tremble, and sweat profusely. Some could barely stand.
After the leaders' statements, the video cut back to Commissar Zhang.
Commissar Zhang managed a strained smile and said, "There's no need to panic excessively about the alien civilization. The Singer Civilization has given us a full year to prepare, and they have provided us with a powerful tool to win this war."
He held up an Evolution game helmet.
"This is the Evolution game helmet, created by the Singer Civilization."
"I'm sure many of you who frequently use the internet have heard the rumor that ‘reaching level 50 in Evolution rewards you with a school district house.’”
"This rumor is actually true. Once you reach level 50 in Evolution, you can manifest the powers from the game into the real world. With this power, we will have the means to defeat the alien civilization!"
Commissar Zhang paused, giving the viewers a moment to digest the information.
Everyone felt numb.
The rumor about "reaching level 50 in Evolution rewards you with a school district house" was well-known, having topped the trending charts on various platforms for more than a few days.
Just when everyone thought they had a handle on things, it turned out that Evolution was actually a product of the aliens and was crucial to the fate of humanity!
After a brief pause, Commissar Zhang continued, "Based on the current production capacity of the game helmets, it will take another month to cover all 1.4 billion people in the country. At that time, I guarantee that every citizen of Huaxia will receive their own game helmet. However—"
The mention of everyone receiving a helmet brought some comfort, but the word "however" from Commissar Zhang sent everyone's hearts racing again.
"However, everyone knows that Huaxia is a vast country, and every person needs food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. We can't have everyone spending 12 hours a day playing the game; otherwise, we'll starve to death before the aliens even arrive."
"So, I hereby declare a state of emergency and a wartime system. The government will manage and adjust the development of the first and second industries to ensure the welfare of the people. The third industry will undergo complete reform, and all unemployed individuals will be able to enter Evolution to develop their skills. The government will provide living subsidies to all unemployed individuals."
"Humanity on the Blue Star is facing the most critical moment in history. We need to unite and overcome this crisis together!"
With that, the video paused, and the screen went black.
But those watching were completely at a loss.
Everyone stared blankly at each other or at their screens, unsure of what to do.
How did the sky suddenly change?
...
After some time, as people started to regain their senses and prepare to say something, Commissar Zhang's video reappeared on everyone's electronic devices.
"By the way, I have two more points to add."
Everyone was startled but quickly focused back on the screen, their hearts pounding.
"First, we are announcing the existence of the aliens through a video to as many people as possible to prevent the 'three men make a tiger' phenomenon and to avoid the message becoming distorted as it spreads."
"Many media outlets enjoy exaggerating the truth or even fabricating false news for profit, which can cause significant social panic."
"We have set up an official website called 'Singer' where you can find the latest, most authoritative, and most reliable information. I urge everyone to be discerning and not to believe information from other sources."
"Second, please do not panic. Stay calm and trust the government's capabilities and the power of the people. As long as we stand united, we can overcome this crisis! Moreover, we have already achieved partial victories in the war."
On the right side of the video, Su Yu's ID photo suddenly appeared, but to protect his privacy, it was blurred out.
"This young man's in-game ID is [Counter]. If you've played Evolution, you must have heard of this name," Commissar Zhang introduced.
"Counter?"
"Chief Counter?"
Millions of Evolution players were stunned. They were all too familiar with this name.
But for Chief Counter to be mentioned in such a critical situation, this was a level of recognition they had never seen before!
