Apocalyptic Nation: The Apocalypse is Ahead, I Have Your Back

"What are you afraid of? I'm still here." This was all Shi Yin could promise. As long as she remained, the Flame Dragon Nation would not perish.

Facing the apocalypse, Shi Yin dec...

Chapter 303 Restarting Entertainment Projects

It should be known information that Tokine didn't share, but such important information can't be guessed; Helmod can only guess Tokine's layout.

“Perhaps you should tell me some of the information you already have, such as how you drove away that sea zombie, Leviathan of Jealousy?” Helmod asked. “There are no signs of attack on your body.”

“I raised the palace and swallowed the tides and tsunamis. As the initiator of the tsunami, it was also imprisoned by me.” Shi Yin did not hide anything.

"And then what did you say to it?" Helmod's question hit the nail on the head: "There was at least a five-minute gap between Asmodeus's death and Leviathan's escape, during which it couldn't possibly have refrained from attacking you."

“I made a deal with it. I let it go, and it attacked another country.” Shi Yin said frankly, “I recommended that it attack Lulan.”

Helmod: "? In your condition at the time, you were at most evenly matched with Leviathan, so why did you need to let it go?"

"Because I scared it!" Shi Yin said matter-of-factly. "I'm so powerful, I've defeated several big bosses in a row, so why is it so easily frightened?"

"Is that the main point? The main point is that Ishtar can summon sea dragons, and her naval combat capabilities are very strong." Helmod was a little confused: "It just believed that?"

“Yes.” Shi Yin nodded: “Like I said, the human brain is still the most useful.”

Helmod: "...You tricked it?"

"Tsk, what are you saying?" Shi Yin waved her hand expressionlessly: "How can something between rivals be called a trap? It's called coaxing."

"And does Ishtar even know you've pushed this monster onto her?" Helmod asked helplessly. "If you keep doing this, isn't the enraged Samael exactly what you've prepared for me?"

“Yes.” Shi Yin actually nodded: “But it will come to Yanlong Kingdom first. After all, what rage is best at is stirring up emotions. The population of your countries is too small, less than half the population of Yanlong Kingdom. I definitely won’t choose you.”

Helmod: "..."

Why does this sound so unsettling? It really sounds like they're saying they can't even protect their own people!

Can we blame them?

The mental state of that group of people was such that even when zombies were climbing out of the window, they still remembered to take pictures to record the last moment of their lives, and even when they were starving to death during a blizzard, they still had the energy to curse.

They were told to stay at home, but they came out in large groups to protest, saying that the country was restricting them and that they wanted freedom. As a result, thousands of people in the protest groups died one after another.

Can we blame them for inadequate protection when they act recklessly?

"Then came the bad news: Lian Zhen didn't die," Shi Yin continued.

"...Huh? Are you serious?" Helmod was stunned for a moment, his voice rising eight octaves: "Lian Zhen isn't dead? Asmodeus is dead, but Lian Zhen isn't?!"

"Yes, she's fast. She's a ranged attacker. When she sensed something was wrong, she left a clone behind and abandoned her companions before running away," Shi Yin recalled. "Moreover, Lian Zhen's ability is bewitching. She bewitched her companions, causing them to risk their lives to be sent away by her."

In the new world, there was no such thing as unity, friendship, mutual protection, or life-and-death bonds. Instead, everyone fled when disaster struck, and you would betray me today and I would betray you tomorrow.

In other words, they are more obedient to their superiors, more loyal to the new world, and more fanatical about their beliefs.

Lian Zhen sensed something was wrong and ran away immediately. Without even struggling, he used his bewitching ability on his companion, using him as a stepping stone to climb out of the pit.

"Tsk, this is troublesome." Helmod had a headache.

The most troublesome enemy is one that can manipulate emotions. During the Blizzard lockdown, many people suffered from depression, emotional breakdowns, and suicides, with a mortality rate even higher than during the previous zombie siege.

Ji Chuan is the only one with emotional abilities, and mental damage is much more troublesome than physical damage.

“Agaray has indeed ignited the world’s emotions; now humanity’s emotions have completely reversed from despair and fear to a vibrant and upward-looking state.” Helmod was a little annoyed: “But emotions don’t last. What about what happens next?”

"We're planning to restart our online programs," Shi Yin thought for a moment. "Didn't I ask you to protect all the internet companies? Now we can get them back to work updating games and videos."

"There are also some programs that directors who want to film can apply to the government for permission to film. The government will send people to protect the filming location and help clean it up." As she spoke, Shi Yin reminded them, "Don't let any trashy adaptations or nonsensical scripts be included."

“Hmm, good idea.” Helmod agreed, “The online world’s prosperity is also part of the romance of peace. I hope my favorite celebrities are still alive.”

"?" Shi Yin asked in confusion, "You're a fan of celebrities?"

“Didn’t I tell you? I’m a football fan, and I love watching Robots.” Helmod said, already getting excited. “We can even host a football match, remake the movie, and invite whoever I want! What a wonderful surprise!”

Shi Yin: "..."

Is it really that surprising?

Shi Yin was too embarrassed to say it, but she would prefer to revive some studios, make more anime, and then punish them if they were left unfinished. That would be a real surprise.

She wants those authors to start strong but end weak, inexplicably abandoning their work as they draw. She'll watch as anyone who dares to abandon their work gets to revise it.

Speaking of which, the refugees from the neighboring Red Sun Kingdom have recently asked for help again. Yanlong Kingdom has selected some refugees from neighboring countries and settled them together. These people can be put to work to relieve some of the pressure on Yanlong Kingdom.

Because many people survived in Yanlong Kingdom, there is even more to be done, especially since all the farmland was destroyed. There is an urgent need to open up planting areas and plant the seeds that have been researched.

There's also some basic infrastructure work, like repairs and maintenance.

Let them do the work first; once they have records and make contributions, their children can be sent to school.

The proposal has already been put forward, but it probably hasn't been implemented yet without Shi Yin's permission. Thinking of this, Shi Yin picked up her phone and sent out the follow-up arrangements.

As soon as the message was sent, the other party went crazy and made a phone call immediately.

Leader: [Shiyin! What have you been doing these past few days? I can't get through to you on the phone, and I haven't heard from you at all. Didn't you promise me last time that you would never disappear again?!]

"I made a mistake." Shi Yin's confidence waned, her voice weakening slightly. "It's just that something came up..."

[Is it an injury, or is something else really wrong? Think carefully before you answer!]

"I'm injured." Shi Yin shrank her neck, not daring to lie.

Helmod, standing nearby, burst into laughter, but was so startled by Shi Yin's glare that he choked on his breath, his face turning red.

"I...I'll be right back." Shi Yin's cheeks flushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed by Helmod's laughter. "Also, the proposals for those entertainment projects can be implemented now."

"Oh, I see. Filming for entertainment projects has resumed, right? I'll go check how many survived." The leader was furious, but he still knew he should speak politely now and discipline the child when he returned.

"Speaking of which, we know someone here who's quite knowledgeable about entertainment options. We'll send a private jet to pick you up, and he can come along too. You two can discuss things then." The commander-in-chief ordered, "He should arrive tomorrow."

"I can go back by myself," Shi Yin said weakly.

General: [Weren't you injured?]

Tokine [...]

The Consul General said, "Then get some rest, lie down on the plane! If you dare to cause trouble again, you'll have to write a self-criticism when you get back!"

Tokine [...]
