Chapter 883: Blue Star's Great Quake
Chapter 883: Blue Star's Great Quake
Brandon's video caused a massive stir in Kyiv and throughout Ukraine.
After all, every mobile phone received such a message.
People were either incited to want to go to Skrul Star or were cursing the Skruls' cunning, drawing the attention of almost everyone.
Of course, the Skruls didn't just release this video in Kyiv.
Kyiv was chosen as the first release point mainly due to the time zone issue, as Ukraine entered midnight earlier than other European, American, and African countries.
An hour later, Germany and surrounding countries in the same time zone entered midnight, and the citizens of these countries also received the message with Brandon's video attached.
Another hour passed, and the citizens of the British Empire and other countries in the same time zone received the same message...
Because everyone received the message at midnight, the impact was particularly significant, shocking the entire world!
Especially for the people of Europe, Africa, and America, the impact was even more profound.
Initially, most of them were skeptical about going to Skrul Star.
After all, Skrul Star was an unfamiliar planet, and no one knew if they would be able to adapt to the environment or if it was just a trap set by Manina to lure people there and kill them all.
The initial 360,000 people who chose to go to Skrul Star were either extremely fearful of the war or hoped that the Skruls would treat the first batch of immigrants better, as the first immigrants would set a precedent.
Now it seems that the first batch of people made the right bet.
The Skruls only accepted those of the third rank and above, and it turns out they were to be sent to mine the planet!
Planetary mining, though arduous, was not dangerous and offered high pay.
Especially seeing how Figus earned 1,000 Sun Coins just by "playing" for a day, many people were envious and wanted to go to Skrul Star immediately.
Working hard for three years and then living a carefree life on Skrul Star—wasn't that better than staying on Blue Star?
And most importantly, they wouldn't have to worry about the impending war affecting them.
After receiving the video, a large number of third-rank and above residents in the three continents began packing their things, preparing to head to the nearest giant spring.
Although the Skruls hadn't yet announced the next batch, they wanted to queue up early at the springs.
Otherwise, if others got there first, they would be left behind.
Within half a day of the incident, the three continents detected a large number of people gathering at the giant springs.
The momentum of the surrender faction also rose, and many began to gather, aiming to capture the last stronghold of human resistance—the official forums.
The Blue Star United Government immediately convened a meeting after the incident to discuss how to counter the Skruls' propaganda offensive.
This wave of propaganda was much more intense than the previous one, causing significant unrest in Europe, Africa, and America. (The reason it didn't cause unrest in Asia was mainly because, except for the one in Japan, all the giant springs in Asia had been reclaimed, making it impossible for people to cross continents, thus maintaining relative stability.)
They had to find a way to turn the tide.
...
...
For now, Blue Star was at an absolute disadvantage, completely overwhelmed by the Skruls' propaganda.
The Blue Star United Government was powerless against such a strong propaganda campaign.
After all, Blue Star emphasized "sacrifice," while the Skruls emphasized "self-interest."
The dissolution of the Soviet Union had already proven that no matter how noble the ideal, it could not overcome personal desires.
The United Government simply couldn't fight back.
They could only hold onto every propaganda channel and try to maintain their position.
However, on the other side, the overall plan of the high-ranking Blue Star powerhouses seemed to be progressing smoothly.
Two days earlier, in a dense jungle on the southern border of the Scorching Sun Empire.
Cloud Shepherd and Ice Black Tea led a team consisting of a mage player and two assassin players, secretly infiltrating the Scorching Sun Empire.
At that moment, one of the assassin players raised his hand to ask a question.
This assassin player was an Egyptian who didn't speak Mandarin.
He asked in English, puzzled, "Boss Cloud Shepherd, isn't this different from our original plan?"
"What's the problem?" Cloud Shepherd looked at him.
The Egyptian player continued, "Our original plan was to steal and plunder wealth in the small countries south of the Scorching Sun Empire. Why are we entering the Scorching Sun Empire now? Aren't you afraid of the danger?"
Cloud Shepherd smiled slightly.
Standing in the jungle, he gazed northward and said, "The situation has changed, Madbouly. In the past, I didn't come to the Scorching Sun Empire mainly because it's teeming with strong individuals. The risks here were much higher than in the southern small countries.
But now it's different.
The Scorching Sun Empire is busy dealing with the 360,000 immigrants. Many high-ranking powerhouses have been assigned to handle immigration-related duties, leaving them with less energy to spare.
Right now, the Scorching Sun Empire is the best place to cause trouble. The risks are much lower than usual, and we must seize this opportunity."
"Alright," the Egyptian, Madbouly, nodded in understanding.
After a brief rest, the group continued their journey toward a large city in the southern part of the Scorching Sun Empire.
However, there was one thing Cloud Shepherd hadn't told the Egyptian player. This mission wasn't just about causing trouble; he also had an important mission—to uncover the true reason the Skrulls were recruiting Blue Star immigrants.
After learning that the Skrulls were sending third-tier immigrants to Borna to mine, Cloud Shepherd immediately went online to research the "planetary miner" job.
The information he found was similar to what Feigus and others had discovered: the Skrulls seemed quite fair, with the job being only tiring but otherwise offering good compensation.
However, Cloud Shepherd realized that the job might not be as good as it seemed. The information online could be fabricated by the Skrulls.
Otherwise, the compensation for a planetary miner wouldn't be that high.
If it was just tiring and relatively safe, the pay would be about 3 to 5 times that of a regular job, not 10 to 20 times.
There was likely something fishy going on.
So, he decided to personally lead his team to the Scorching Sun Empire to gather information from the locals.
The Skrulls might be able to fake things online, but not in reality.
He needed to uncover the Skrulls' true nature and reveal the truth to the public.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhong Feng, Old Li, the Red Dragon Queen, and White Dragon Princess Keke successfully returned to Dragon Island.
Upon hearing the news of their return, the Dragon Emperor and the other four Dragon Kings immediately came out to greet them.
The two parties met in the air, about 20 kilometers north of Dragon Island.
"Mom!" Seeing her mother, White Dragon Princess Keke immediately flew into the White Dragon Queen's arms, stretching her neck and rubbing against her.
This was the first time she had been away from her mother for so long, and she missed her dearly.
