Chapter 453: Stirring the Pot
Chapter 453: Stirring the Pot
Back at the Intelligence Agency, Director Xi Weng, with the help of Li Hua, edited and translated the entire video.
Li Hua, who knew a bit of English, thoughtfully added English subtitles to the video.
After the video was completed, Xi Weng sent it to the Emperor's phone for his review.
A few minutes later, Xi Weng received a royal decree: "It's good. Send it to Blue Star. I'm very eager to see how Su Yu reacts to this video. By the way, is there any way we can observe Su Yu's expression?"
"Apologies, Your Majesty," Xi Weng replied, feeling quite embarrassed. "Su Yu is, after all, a Saint Realm expert. We currently don't have the advanced technology to bypass his perception and monitor him."
"A pity."
...
Half an hour later, the sky over Blue Star suddenly darkened.
Regardless of whether it was a clear, sunny day or a stormy, rainy one, every person on Blue Star felt the sky darken abruptly.
At that moment, Xue Wenli was deep in the mountains of southwestern Bashu. Her mission for the day was to persuade an ancient powerhouse named "Wang Mang" to emerge and help humanity win the war.
She, too, noticed the sky darkening suddenly.
"Is it going to rain?" Xue Wenli looked up at the sky.
But as she raised her head, she saw that it wasn't clouds blocking the sun. The sky around the sun was strangely dark.
"Something's not right!" she realized, taking out her phone to call headquarters for an update.
Just as she unlocked her phone and opened her contacts, a distorted wave appeared in the sky above her.
Then, a massive image unfolded in the sky.
The image showed a conversation between Chancellor Cao, Plankt, and Victoria, with both Chinese and English subtitles at the bottom of the screen.
If Xue Wenli were at headquarters, she would have seen a shocking sight—3,725 Skrull bases around the world simultaneously projecting a beam of light into the sky, forming a giant image that covered the entire planet. No matter where you were on Blue Star, you could see it clearly.
People walking on the streets looked up at the sky, seeing Chancellor Cao and the Skrulls in conversation. Countless people were stunned, their mouths agape and their minds blank.
Most people were aware of the Skrulls' plan to create over 3,000 monsters, which Su Yu had mentioned during a recent live stream. It had become one of the hottest topics online.
Initially, everyone thought the monsters would emerge directly from the bases. However, the Skrulls were now using the "Gravity Funnel" plan to concentrate all the monsters and release them together!
This made people think of one word—annihilation!
Even a powerful nation like Huaxia would find it difficult to withstand such pressure, let alone other countries.
Moreover, at the end of the video, Chancellor Cao actually surrendered!
Everyone was familiar with Chancellor Cao's deeds. The scene where he wielded a super-artifact sword handle and battled a Skrull god-level expert left a deep impression on people.
Many had silently wished for Chancellor Cao's safety, hoping he wouldn't die in a foreign land.
Now, Chancellor Cao hadn't died; instead, he had decided to surrender to the Skrulls.
While he did it to protect his country from disaster, his surrender was a massive blow to the morale of Blue Star's humans!
The video's impact was even more significant abroad!
Once the "Gravity Funnel" began, it couldn't be stopped. Which country would be the unfortunate victim?
Furthermore, with the old man from Huaxia surrendering to the Skrulls, if the war ultimately failed, Huaxia could receive a Skrull reservation, while people from other regions would become sacrificial lambs.
Driven by the mindset of "not fearing scarcity but fearing inequality," people around the world took to the streets in massive protests.
In Paris, France; London, England; Istanbul, Turkey; and Santiago, Chile—wherever there were large populations, there were endless streams of demonstrators.
According to estimates, the combined number of protesters worldwide that evening surpassed ten million!
At first, these protest groups weren't sure what to protest about.
Should they protest against Prime Minister Cao's surrender?
But what good would that do?
Should they protest against the Skrull's policy of granting reserved territories to the Chinese?
That didn't seem quite right either.
After serious deliberation, the protest groups began to call for the dissolution of the Blue Planet United Government, demanding that their own governments prioritize national interests above all else.
In the game world, Su Yu's private chat exploded with messages.
The guild leaders in the guild leader chat room also began tagging Su Yu, saying something big had happened and he should check the forums.
Opening the official forum and watching the video released by the Skrulls, Su Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had never heard of a "gravitational funnel" before; such a phenomenon didn't exist in his previous life.
In his previous life, before the final assault, the Skrulls only sporadically released a few monsters to disrupt human industrial bases, high-energy physics labs, key military installations, and nuclear missile silos.
If Su Yu's memory served him right, over the course of six months, the Skrulls only released 352 monsters, averaging less than 60 per month, with minimal impact on the general population.
This time, the Skrulls released over 3,000 monsters in a single concentrated attack, clearly aiming to wipe out an entire country!
Prime Minister Cao's decision to surrender for the sake of the nation was expected.
And if it were Su Yu, he would probably have done the same.
...
Carrying his thoughts back into the game, Su Yu saw that many guild leaders were continually tagging him in the guild leader chat room, asking, "President Ke, what do you think about this?"
Su Yu replied, "Me? I'll check the forum."
The guild leaders: "."
【True Red Eye Black Dragon】: "No, we want to know what you think about Prime Minister Cao's surrender."
"Right."
"Right."
"Exactly."
"I think," Su Yu responded in the chat room, "this is a very cunning move by the Skrulls."
"If Prime Minister Cao surrenders, it will demoralize the Blue Planet Resistance; if he doesn't, our country will face severe attacks from the gravitational funnel. There's no optimal solution."
【Cloud Shepherd】: "So, President Ke, what should we do?"
"To be honest,"
Su Yu paused for a few seconds before replying, "I think we shouldn't let the Skrulls affect us. We should continue leveling up and acquiring equipment as usual. Let the government handle the decision-making."
"The decision-makers are still clear-headed. The rapid formation of the Blue Planet United Government is proof of that. I believe they will make a reasonable decision to address this crisis."
After a moment of silence, the guild leaders responded:
"President Ke is right!"
"We can't let the Skrulls distract us. Leveling up and strengthening our abilities is our own responsibility."
"Once we are strong, everything will be easier! Everyone, encourage your guild members to follow the original plan and continue leveling up."
"Got it."
"Understood!"
