Chapter 582: The Radical Revenge Faction and Hoshina Chika
After making his decision, Su Yu took Chenxing into Linlong City.
Once inside the city, they managed to secure legal identities and then boarded a plane to Trenar City to complete their final plan.
During Su Yu's actions, two significant events occurred on Blue Star.
...
In the past four days, a sense of utter despair and confusion has permeated both the real world and the internet on Blue Star.
Four days ago, the Emperor of the Leshang Empire, Manina the Thirteenth, announced Su Yu's death, shocking the entire world!
At first, most people didn't believe—or rather, didn't dare to believe—that Su Yu was dead. They thought he must still be alive, using some special method to fake his death to trick the Skrulls.
However, as time passed, they realized that Su Yu had not logged in or communicated at all.
While the United Government's spokesperson emphasized that Su Yu's death was "not yet confirmed," more and more people began to accept that Su Yu had indeed made the ultimate sacrifice.
Su Yu was the spiritual pillar for the majority of people. The first to ascend to the Holy Realm and the first to reach the Legendary Realm, he was undeniably the cornerstone of the human world!
But now, this "cornerstone" had collapsed.
This left many Blue Star citizens on the brink of despair.
Could they really defeat the Skrulls?
Was there even a 1% chance of victory? Most people were immersed in confusion and hopelessness, unable to pull themselves out.
Amidst this pervasive despair and confusion, one region stood out as different.
This region wasn't Huaxia, but the neighboring country—Neon.
While the citizens of Neon were also affected by the "Su Yu's death" incident, the impact was not as severe compared to other countries.
The majority of Neon's citizens were more preoccupied with the earlier "Gravitational Funnel" event.
According to statistics, the direct death toll from the "Gravitational Funnel" event in Neon was 7.5 million, with an additional 3.5 million indirect deaths in the following week!
The loss of nearly a tenth of their population in just a week hit the entire country hard, as most Neon citizens had lost friends or family in this disaster.
The upper echelon of Neon suffered a higher mortality rate than the lower-class citizens.
In the "Gravitational Funnel" event, the upper echelon immediately fled to other countries via private jets when the monsters first appeared.
However, the flying monsters in the swarm specifically targeted private jets, and almost all the upper echelon who fled by private jet died in this disaster.
As a result, the people of Neon quickly divided into three categories.
The first category, about one-tenth of the population, had completely succumbed to fear and became the surrender faction, embracing the philosophy of surrender and resignation.
They knew that the Skrulls might not accept their surrender and would likely massacre them all.
But they were so terrified by the Skrulls' power that they had lost the will to resist, now only lying down to peacefully spend their last six months.
The second category, also about one-tenth of the population, were the radical blame shifters.
They believed that their country's immense suffering was entirely the fault of the United Government and Su Yu.
"If it weren't for the United Government's overly aggressive resistance, if it weren't for Su Yu's reckless assassination attempt, the Skrulls wouldn't have carried out such an extreme 'Gravitational Funnel' plan."
They blamed the United Government and Su Yu entirely for the disaster they faced.
The third category of people makes up about four-fifths of the population, representing the majority of the citizens.
They have been influenced by various social ideologies and have become staunch avengers.
The avengers advocate for vengeance for those who died in the "Gravity Funnel" incident, even at the cost of their own lives.
Some extremists have even revived the ancient slogan "One Hundred Million Shattered Jewels," vowing to fight the Skrulls to the death.
Prime Minister Fujiwara Chika is a radical avenger.
She survived a foreign state visit, but her family and friends all perished in the disaster.
Completely consumed by darkness, she is determined to lead the citizens in a relentless battle against the Skrulls, vowing to fight until the end.
Because of this, the news of "Su Yu's death" did not create a sense of despair in the country; instead, it further fueled their fighting spirit.
On the morning of November 10th at 8 AM,
Prime Minister Fujiwara Chika took the initiative to call the Speaker of the United Government, Hu Jing.
The call began with formal pleasantries before delving into the main topic.
Prime Minister Fujiwara Chika said, "Speaker Hu Jing, according to the data from our Ministry of Defense, the number of volunteers in the past three days has reached 300,000, setting a new record."
"300,000 in three days?!" Speaker Hu Jing was taken aback.
"That's correct," Fujiwara Chika continued. "Because of these new soldiers, we need the United Government to provide more weapons, equipment, and food supplies.
In return, once these soldiers have manifested their strength, they will actively participate in the global war against the surrenderists and, in the future, the war against the Skrulls"
Speaker Hu Jing composed himself and replied, "Alright, I understand. I will expedite the resources you need."
Since the news of "Su Yu's death" spread, the global trend of surrenderism has been on the rise.
Now, the avengers in our country dominate public opinion, and they are naturally opposed to the surrenderists.
"Perhaps we can use the avengers in our country to suppress the momentum of global surrenderism," Hu Jing thought to himself.
However, he still emphasized, "Prime Minister Fujiwara, I understand your urgent desire to avenge the Skrulls, but realistically, you must prioritize disaster relief. Only by doing so can we eliminate domestic instability."
"I understand," Fujiwara Chika calmly replied. "We will certainly prioritize disaster relief. Give me a month, and I will ensure that the relief efforts are handled properly. Then we can discuss the suppression of the surrenderists."
After saying this, Fujiwara Chika hung up the phone.
...
Upon hearing the call disconnect, Hu Jing sighed deeply.
Since becoming the Speaker of the United Government, he found the weight on his shoulders to be no ordinary burden. He had to balance the interests of various factions while focusing all his efforts on the fight against the Skrulls.
Of course, what caused him the most stress was still "Su Yu's death."
Even now, he still couldn't bring himself to believe that Su Yu was truly gone. He kept convincing himself—Su Yu didn't die but was hiding in a remote place to recover.
But now, the global trend of surrenderism is surging again. The ill-intentioned surrenderists are spreading their ideology worldwide, and a large number of people are turning towards surrenderism.
What should he do to lift the morale of humanity and return to the proactive state of preparation from over a month ago? He really didn't know.
