Chapter 282 I'm Stop Pretending, I'm Infected Too

"So you mean that Yin Zhu would never betray humanity? Does the fact that her talent is the same as the Unspeakable's ability suggest that the Dragon Kingdom is trying to artificially create the Unspeakable?"

This reporter was not arranged by the Chinese government.

To be honest, the reporter's question was a bit beyond the scope of the question, more like a conspiracy theory, but there was no malice intended.

Regarding this question, Anzhi was able to give a specific answer: "The Dragon Kingdom government will not conduct human experiments without authorization, let alone use the Chosen Ones for experiments. We have already made some progress in our research on the Golden Talent, and we will share it with other surviving countries, but we will not release this information until the problem is completely resolved."

"The United Nations keeps saying that people should trust the government, but when will you produce your research findings?"

The person who asked the question this time was very aggressive.

If we only talk empty words and platitudes, it is obviously impossible to satisfy the public's curiosity. The growing anxiety among the people is actually related to the fact that no official from any country in the world has been able to come up with any progress.

Knowing this, An Zhi answered more cautiously: "This is an issue we have been paying close attention to. Strictly speaking, it doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of our think tank, but rather the research institute. According to the latest research results from the institute, they did discover some content in the live broadcast that surpasses the technology of Earth, and they are working hard to replicate and realize it on Earth. We believe that given time, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties."

"We're giving the scientists time, but can the Chosen Ones really hold out until then?" This wasn't a question, but a quiet murmur, yet it sounded remarkably clear in the quiet clubhouse.

Immediately, many reporters began to whisper among themselves.

After all, judging from her answer, An Zhi didn't actually reveal any useful progress regarding the exorcism of the unspeakable. However, she wasn't a researcher in the field, so it's understandable that she didn't know.

If I had to say, Anzhi does know some things.

An Zhi already knows that the Unspeakable Ones are beings from another dimension of the humans on the High Blue Star. Perhaps in their eyes, he is just a paper doll, and they can kill everyone at any time if they want to end the game.

However, all of this must never be said.

Many people on Earth are pessimistic to begin with, and if this were to become known to the public, it's hard to say whether many would simply give up on themselves.

If it's just depression or low mood, that's fine. What's worrying is that some people with bad ideas might adopt a "live for today" mentality and start smashing and robbing other people's property, endangering their safety.

We should not underestimate the intelligence of a group, but we should not overestimate the bottom line of an individual either.

If one out of ten thousand people becomes a self-destructive individual who harms innocent people, then China could have hundreds of thousands of such dangerous individuals.

The population of China is simply too large.

"Why do you trust Yin Zhu so much? Some people have analyzed many of Yin Zhu's actions and concluded that her good deeds are out of imitation of others, not her own intentions. How can you be sure that Yin Zhu won't betray humanity?" This question was still posed by that highly aggressive reporter.

An Zhi gave him a deep look, already understanding the situation. However, the meet-and-greet wasn't over yet, and many people in the live stream were waiting for her answer.

"If you analyze her behavior from the perspective that 'Yin Zhu is a good person,' you will also arrive at the affirmative answer. Yin Zhu's family and friends all live on Blue Star, and she has no conflicts with them. These people are important to her, so she has never had any reason to betray Blue Star."

An Zhi never cared whether he could persuade the reporter.

She simply needs a platform to reach out to the public, persuade them, and correct the root causes of those conspiracy theories. As for the rest of the argumentation process, many people will naturally fill in the blanks themselves.

For the remainder of the time, the reporters arranged by the Dragon Kingdom finally grabbed the microphone again and asked some questions that the public was concerned about.

An Zhi gave a very gentle yet sharp reply.

During the incident, one reporter, trying to find fault for the sake of finding fault, was directly confronted by a self-media reporter who couldn't stand it.

It seems that Anzhi has achieved his goal.

"So, what's next?" Hirano Sanmao rested her chin on her hand, looking at Yin Zhu with some curiosity.

At the prince's house, the group was planning their next move. Now that Nazar had been rescued, they seemed to have no clear objective.

"Why don't we poison those monsters?" Nazar suddenly had an idea.

"Can gods be poisoned?" Yin Zhu turned to look at Hirano Shan with some confusion, meeting her bright eyes and hearing her nonchalant words: "I don't know, maybe?"

Regarding the poisoning.

The worm raised its hand, a little embarrassed, and said, "We already have a plan for this."

"Huh?" Yin Zhu was only stunned for a second before quickly remembering the two people in the team who had disconnected at the start of the game: "You mean Xiong Da and the others? Oh yeah... I forgot..."

Yin Zhu suddenly remembered that although the worm hadn't said what kind of mission Xiong Da and the others were going to carry out, it had indeed taken them to a fountain pool. At the time, Yin Zhu just assumed it was because it was some kind of landmark and didn't think much of it.

Thinking about it now, it is indeed very possible.

"But it seems they failed. We haven't heard of any poisoning in the inner city. Maybe they died before they could even poison anyone," the worm sighed.

"Could it be that infection with cybervirus can increase resistance to the virus?"

Yin Zhu looked at Hirano Shan again, but this time she poked her head with a finger and turned her back. Hirano Shan complained a little angrily, "Don't look at me like that. I'm just a human, not a god. I don't know everything."

"You clearly know a lot..." Yin Zhu muttered to herself, only to be glared at by Hirano Shan again.

“Speaking of which, should we tell the survivor discussion group?” Nazar suddenly brought up this thing that they had forgotten about. Since the netizens met offline, they didn’t seem to have communicated much online.

“Yes, you can log on and let us know you’re safe.” The prince gloated. “That panda thought you were dead, and it gave him a big scare.”

“That works too.” Nazar readily accepted the suggestion.

With the prince's help, Nazar rediscovered the group and jokingly posted, "Are there any infected people in the group like me who are infiltrating? I didn't die, did you?!"

The prince chimed in, "Eve said there's only one Class A citizen left in the inner city who isn't infected. Could he be in the group chat?"

However, these words struck like a stone, creating a ripple effect in the hearts of the other survivors. The reason was simple: after the prince and Nazar's words, several people replied:

"Then I'll stop pretending. I'm also a Level A infected person."

"It wasn't me, I was infected too."

"I always thought I was the only infected person infiltrating the group, but it turns out everyone else is too?"

"I thought I was the only one secretly infiltrating this group and eating people up. I was wondering why the group members were being wiped out so quickly, that none of them could survive. Turns out everyone else was an undercover agent?"

"Oh? You guys too?"

The prince was stunned. He checked the group name repeatedly. It was correct; he hadn't joined the wrong group...
