Chapter 128 Chapter 128 The Second Advance in Human History...
They looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Hou Lin continued, "The video has only been out for two minutes, and it's already gone viral online. Do you want to take a look?"
Ye Ning nodded.
Hou Lin immediately projected the video.
This is an eight-minute short video, and Hou Lin just finished watching it at double speed.
The video begins with several sharply contrasting images.
The wealthy of the Federation enjoyed ample food and generous treatment within the safe zone. They enjoyed various survival resources and wasted them wantonly, while only allocating a tiny share to the common people. This extravagance and waste formed a stark contrast with hunger and poverty.
While the Federal Territory is packed with high-rise buildings and 24/7 indoor decontamination, residents living near the border live in dilapidated homes, many even forced to live in garbage dumps. Piles of garbage are transported to the border, and residents struggle to withstand the pollutants while living amidst mountains of filthy water and piles of garbage. Even seriously injured soldiers face a lack of medical care.
I have to say, the opening of this video by the rebels is very well done. This extreme sense of contrast is the best way to mobilize everyone's emotions.
After seeing this, Ye Ning felt that the Federation was a bit annoying.
Ye Ning raised his hand and manually paused the video.
"Is this the Xisha area?"
Even Ye Ning noticed it, let alone the others. Gu Yu nodded, "Two of the scenes were specially filmed by the district chief for the documentary."
The Xisha area had reached a desperate situation at that time, and it was filmed only to ask for more funds and resources from the federal government.
However, although the Xisha District has developed now, Heyang still requires schools and public platforms in the Xisha District to show these documentaries to residents every now and then, and to always carry out education on loving the district.
Chongrong had never paid attention to these things before, but after watching the video, his eyes widened. "Are the people in Xisha District so pitiful?"
Ye Ning: "There are many places on the Sea Dust Planet that are even more pitiful than the Xisha District. You can go and see them later."
This is also why she donates most of her money to charity.
Many places are like the Xisha area before. They have no resources, no technology, no talent, and no capital. In such a situation, it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.
Her charitable foundation certainly can't instantly change the entire landscape of a region, but little by little, things will eventually get better.
Ye Ning waved again and the video continued.
The narration inside is passionate.
"For the survival of ordinary people and for the future of all mankind, we resolutely embark on the road of resistance."
Next scene, screen switch.
Inside the laboratory, lights flickered and the camera gradually zoomed in. The person lying on the laboratory table looked pale and haggard.
He was on a ventilator, breathing rapidly, his limbs twisted, and he looked like he was about to die.
The camera fell on the man's face, it was... Yan Gang.
Ye Nan's pupils shrank slightly.
The picture gradually blurred, and the next second, a very healthy Yan Gang, wearing clothes with the rebel logo, sat in front of the camera.
"My name is Yan Gang. As everyone knows, I voluntarily joined the rebel army."
"I once lingered on the brink of death, but it was the rebels who gave me a second chance at life. The premature death of pure humans, the demise of the Emperor Dragon clan, and the deaths of countless ordinary people...
All of this is inextricably linked to the Federation. They are the most cruel, selfish, and indifferent! They have always controlled the Federation's richest resources, living a luxurious life, while completely ignoring the ordinary people living in dire straits!
…
It was the same things he had told her before when he came to Xisha District specifically.
Before he finished speaking, Yan Gang easily broke an iron rod with his bare hands.
"The first evolution of humanity was when pure humans implanted animal genes into their bodies thousands of years ago, and you were born."
"Today, on behalf of Lord Hu Ding, I would like to announce that we have successfully achieved the second evolution in human history. We call it 'New Humanity'."
"As we all know, once pollutants enter the human body, they will experience extreme pain. In severe cases, they may turn into deformed orcs or even die directly. But now, we have successfully developed a new type of pollutant and related fusion technology."
"I am the best example. It was the pollution fusion technology developed by the rebels that saved me!"
Yan Gang released a simple schematic diagram of the fusion process.
"Fusion orcs are not monsters, but the key to humanity's future and strength!"
"The new humans have greatly improved in speed, strength, and intelligence. Most importantly, we no longer have to fear pollutants!"
…
"Let us fight together for freedom and the future, and resist the tyranny and conspiracy of the Federation. We will surely usher in a brand new future, a new world full of light, freedom and equality!"
The eight-minute video was over quickly.
After watching it again, Hou Lin was still shocked.
"This video was posted using Yan Gang's account, but they didn't release a more detailed diagram of the orc fusion."
"They also explained the spreading of pollutants as improving people's adaptability."
This reason...
Ye Ning: "Can everyone accept their statement?"
Gu Su swiped his bracelet and frowned slightly: "There are suddenly a lot of evolution processes of pure humans turning into orcs on the Internet."
Ye Ning had previously studied this period of history in detail. The first artificial evolution process was extremely difficult. Finding the direction, experimenting, and finally achieving success took hundreds of years and a huge investment of manpower and material resources before finally finding the direction.
They wanted to use the first evolution process to endorse the fusion of orcs.
Gu Yu: "Yan Gang's account just released a few more videos."
These are all scenes of successfully evolved fusion orcs fighting against pollutants.
The fused orc in the picture did not show any characteristics of pollutants, but when fighting against several S-level pollutants, its eyes turned into the same bloody red as the pollutants.
Judging from the video, they did indeed experience significant improvements in both speed and strength. There were even subsequent interviews, all of which, without exception, extolled the virtues of incorporating pollutants into their bodies and integrating them.
At the end of several videos, there is a same sentence.
"Pollutants have fallen from the sky and have remained on the Sea Dust Planet for thousands of years. Humanity has never truly defeated pollutants, but today, under the leadership of Lord Hu Ding, we have finally succeeded!"
This world originally advocated the use of force, and it was normal for orcs to fight each other at the slightest disagreement. Regardless of what other orcs thought, Ye Ning felt that this seemed to have become a viable direction of development.
Everyone fell silent again for a moment.
After a while, Hou Lin spoke first, "They can't really succeed, right?"
Apart from anything else, Yan Gang, who was about to die but is now full of life, is indeed very convincing.
Failure to torture others and use innocent orcs for experiments is completely different from successful research and being able to significantly enhance the abilities of all orcs.
The former, due to its uncertainty and the constant sacrifice of innocent people, is extremely difficult to be accepted and recognized by the public. But success means that there will be no more innocent sacrifices, and others can rest assured to enjoy the improved capabilities brought by the successful research.
Although there haven't been many pollution outbreaks recently, the terrifying impression they've left on everyone is unlikely to be erased in a short period of time. Therefore, their admiration for their abilities is unlikely to disappear either.
Ye Ning: "What's the Federation's reaction?"
Gu Su: "The Federation has blocked his account and is in the process of removing related videos from the entire internet. With things developing like this, the Chairman should come out in person."
The Federal President has been in poor health in recent years and has rarely appeared in public. This is why he is running for a new Federal President this year.
But since the rebels have mentioned the "human cleansing plan", the Chairman will definitely have to step in.
Jiang Yi was holding Chongrong, and they were both shocked when they saw the appearance of the fused orc.
Hearing what they said, the two became even more uneasy. "Could it be that the deterioration of the pure human body is really caused by the Federation?"
Ye Nan said comfortingly, "We can't just listen to the rebels' one-sided story. This might just be an excuse for them to whitewash themselves and alienate us from the Federation."
Ye Ning looked at the news online, which was filled with shocked comments.
"Holy crap, are we about to witness history? Can pure humans really merge with pollutants?"
"Master Yan Gang is a pure human being. Can he also integrate pollutants into his body?!"
"Are you too optimistic? The rebels just released a few videos and you switched sides? Not only did they almost kill Lord Ye Ning, they also harmed so many people. Are you just going to pretend they never existed? And these are just videos, who knows if they are real or fake?"
…
The emotions of several people were very complicated at this moment, and they couldn't describe what they felt.
Anxiety, worry, doubt...all kinds of uncertainties are intertwined together.
Finally, they all looked at Ye Ning together.
Ye Ning's expression didn't change at all, as if she was listening to an insignificant piece of news.
Ye Nan looked at her and couldn't help asking, "Ye Ning, what do you think?"
Ye Ning closed the bracelet and smiled, "I think it's a good thing that the rebels showed up at this time."
She didn't think that the rebels would make any breakthrough in such a short time.
It had only been a little over a month since Yan Gang came to see her. Back then, pure humanity had gathered the most powerful individuals on Dust Planet to evolve the Orcs, expending hundreds of years of energy and effort. If the rebels could succeed by secretly working in secret, then how could the Federation have no research results at all?
The idea of using pollutants wasn't invented by the rebels. It's just that they haven't succeeded in doing so for so many years.
And apart from the orcs, there is no sign of successful fusion among other creatures on the Dust Star.
We all like to use the idiom that something is the general trend. But the general trend means that the development of things is inevitable and irreversible.
Therefore, if the rebels had achieved such successful research results earlier, there would be no need to send Yan Gang to find her.
Over the past month, the rebels had suffered a lot at their hands, with several bases destroyed. However, during the pursuit and encirclement of them, no fused orcs were seen.
If it was really that successful, why didn't the rebels use the good stuff on their own people first? If they did, wouldn't ordinary orcs be no match for them?
Of course, there are some successful cases. Currently, the most successful case is actually Yan Gang.
This "good" news coming out at this time is indeed good news.
Regardless of anything else, at least the rebels began to be exposed to their sight.
