Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Pure Human Joint Initiative Statement...
Everyone's expression changed slightly, and someone immediately said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Stop slandering me."
"That's right, what evidence do you have that we've seen the rebels? What's your intention in slandering us like this?"
"You are the only one who escaped from the rebels. You are the one who has contact with them."
Ye Ning said bluntly: "Yan Gang came to see me."
Everyone paused, and someone asked, "Wasn't he seriously injured? How could he still be alive and come to see you? What did he say to you?"
Ye Ning observed their expressions carefully. Although they tried their best to conceal it, their expressions became noticeably more excited when Yan Gang was mentioned.
Ye Ning laughed. "He was sent by Huyue specifically to come to the Xisha area to find me. They said they wanted to bring the rebels to join me."
Everyone: ???
The older man immediately retorted, "How is that possible!"
Ye Ning looked at them and said, "I understand your concerns, but I am determined to carry out the full-scale planting."
"I am also a pure human. I represent not only myself, but you as well. If you cooperate with me, I will naturally do my utmost to protect the interests of the pure humans. However, if you choose to unite with the rebels and delay planting and purification, then the very thing you fear will surely come to pass."
"Are you threatening us?!" The man's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief.
She was the youngest among the dozen or so people in the group. She looked weak and good-tempered, smiling at everyone, but she could actually say such words.
Ye Ning smiled again, but her smile gradually faded, and her expression gradually became cold. "This is not a threat, it's a notice."
She stood very straight, her eyes looking at them with an unprecedented chill. Instantly, everyone's brains were implanted with an undeniable understanding: what she had just said was serious, and there was no room for negotiation.
Ye Ning turned around and pushed the door open.
They must have connections with the rebels.
For unknown reasons, the rebels hadn't destroyed the plants she had planted. But from what Yan Gang had said, they were certain of one thing: the rebels didn't want the world's pollutants to completely disappear.
Moreover, these people clearly have no support, yet they are so confident. There must be other reasons behind this.
They have been emphasizing the same kind and the different kind, and they all think that orcs are tools. How can they possibly trust orcs completely?
The only one who meets the requirements is Hu Ding, who has the rebels in his hands.
As soon as Ye Ning came out, Hou Lin went to meet her and asked, "How was it? What did I say? Did I not embarrass you?"
Ye Ning shook her head and said, "Let's go to the planting room first."
When they arrived at the planting room, Ye Ning was no longer in a hurry to plant.
Let me briefly explain the situation first.
Hou Lin was furious. "Are they talking like human beings? You've worked so hard, and not only do they not help out a little, they even have the nerve to blame you!"
"Their treatment is much better than before, okay? You don't even have the pomp and ceremony they do."
Gaojiang District has become wealthy, and the welfare benefits it provides are much better than before. Yet, they are still dissatisfied, feeling that they are overshadowed by Ye Ning's brilliance.
"And this is impossible. We are all our own people here. How can they contact the rebels?!"
Ye Ning patted his shoulder, signaling him not to be so angry, "Just use the bracelet to contact directly."
"Direct contact with the bracelet, bracelet--"
Hou Lin suddenly shut up, feeling a bit annoyed. Indeed, this was the simplest and most direct way to contact them. They didn't monitor the wristbands of pure humans in real time, but only kept an eye on their food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
"I'll go talk to the district chief and the others right away. Maybe we can follow the clues and find the rebels."
Ye Ning: "In addition to the bracelets, their residences must also be carefully checked to ensure nothing is left out."
"They are all in Gaojiang District. Just don't let the rebels take them away." They can still help grow some crops.
She didn't have time to waste her breath trying to "persuade" them. If the rebels really wanted to take them away, they probably wouldn't be happy. If they were really taken away by the rebels, their lives would definitely not be any better than they were now.
Hou Lin nodded, "Don't worry,"
Ye Ning looked at Gu Su again: "Gu Su, go and make arrangements for the reporters we bring to cooperate with the media in Gaojiang District to release a news story together."
That night, all purely human residences in Gaojiang District were sealed off.
Soldiers from Gaojiang District led robots and conducted an unprecedentedly thorough search of their residences.
The crowd immediately protested strongly.
However, the military only said that they had received a report that there were unknown persons in their residence, so they had to conduct the search.
Hou Lin also followed. He had always been by Ye Ning's side, so everyone naturally thought he looked familiar.
Someone immediately questioned, "That was Ye Ning's idea, right? She asked you to search us?!"
"Is this how Gaojiang District treats other pure humans? Only Ye Ning is important, and everyone else can be treated so casually by you, right?!"
"You have violated federal law! We will report you to the federal military court and let them judge you!"
Hou Lin's attitude became more amiable at this moment. "Don't be so anxious, everyone. Rest well here first. We will be able to eliminate the danger soon."
"I'm here because Master Ye Ning knows that there are *** in your residences and is very worried about your safety, so he sent me here to protect you."
"By the way, Lady Ye Ning asked me to tell all the gentlemen to carefully consider what she said and make decisions with caution."
Hou Lin deliberately slowed down his tone when he spoke his last sentence. He appeared here to demonstrate on behalf of Ye Ning.
Regardless of everyone's expressions, Hou Lin continued, "Apart from the accommodation, there are also problems with your bracelets."
Hou Lin took out the latest model of bracelet and said, "Your bracelets have also been infected with the virus by the rebels. This is a newly developed bracelet for Gaojiang District. Everyone, use this one first."
The crowd was still protesting, but no matter how angry and furious they were, the orcs around them were very good-tempered, just like a fist hitting cotton.
Fifteen minutes later, the search was over and a soldier came out with micro explosives.
They didn't have to report it to the federal government. Half an hour later, Gaojiang District released the latest news related to the search.
Everyone was talking about it.
"I haven't heard from the rebels in a while. Why are they still wreaking havoc everywhere?"
"Yes, Lord Ye Ning is in Gaojiang District now. Nothing will happen, right?"
"Fortunately, we found out. As long as we found out, it's fine. Lady Ye Ning's residence is not fixed. The rebels should not know where she lives, right?"
"Damn the rebels! My cousin joined the rebels and never came back home. It's been over ten years."
…
The explosives were a cover, and the main purpose was to search them to see if they had any communication equipment or other things related to the rebels.
Ye Ning guessed correctly. They did communicate directly using bracelets, but they were not the bracelets on their hands, but other bracelets that were hidden secretly.
It's not just one person, it's three people.
The oldest man, the injured man, and the woman.
They have actually deleted all the messages, but the Internet has memory, and even if the information is deleted, the cloud device still has a record.
Of course, they did not find the cloud records, because the APP used by the other party requires extremely strict identity information verification before it can be opened.
The cracking process was very complicated, but Gaojiang District was able to confirm that they had connections with the rebels.
Ye Ning went to rest after finishing the seedling cultivation, and only heard the news early the next morning.
After hearing this, Ye Ning just nodded, without any surprise.
She could actually understand their concerns. The only thing that made them different and controlled the lifeline of the world was their planting ability.
Her goal of popularizing plants so that their planting ability is no longer a necessity on Dust Star does cause them to worry about where they should go and how they should maintain their current status.
But Gaojiang District, or the orcs, have never treated them unfairly.
Everything they had gotten so far was the best, and it was even better because of her presence.
Perhaps they had gotten it too simply and easily, and had forgotten that this was the end of the world full of dangers, so that they had lost even the most basic empathy.
They can enjoy all this only because there are tens of thousands of orcs fighting desperately outside the ivory tower.
They may not have seen with their own eyes those disabled soldiers retreating from the battlefield; they may not have seen with their own eyes those children who lost their parents; nor may they have seen with their own eyes those orcs who were so hungry that they could only pick up garbage and were emaciated.
The minimum age for soldiers in the Xisha region was 14. However, given the situation in the Xisha region at the time, soldiers couldn't even get enough nutrient solution if they didn't go to the battlefield.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Ye Ning was on the way to the ecological zone when General Gu handed her the jointly released news.
"It has been released as you requested."
The first one was titled: "Great news! The pure human talents in Gaojiang District have collectively increased!"
The first article detailed how she guided the pure humans in Gaojiang District to improve their innate abilities, emphasizing in particular the importance of not over-relying on non-renewable resources like Originium.
The second one is titled: "Pure Human Joint Initiative Statement: Daily Planting Hours and Yields Will Be Increased!"
The general content is that they will set the planting time to 8 hours a day and increase the planting volume to twice the original amount. They will also jointly advocate for pure humans around the world to join in and accelerate the global planting progress to further speed up the purification of pollution.
Of course, at the end of both reports, the rebels' persecution of pure humans was severely condemned.
At Ye Ning's instruction, the portraits of more than a dozen pure humans in Gaojiang District were placed in the most conspicuous position on the news page.
Especially for the three people who had connections with the rebels and protested vigorously, there were not only various introductions to them, but also thoughtful expressions of determination and speeches for them, and their portraits were even framed with plant lace.
In addition, news media in Gaojiang District were reporting on this incident and even announced a live interview in an hour.
The news was released ten minutes ago and there are already many comments below.
"Oh my god, is it because Lady Ye Ning came to Gaojiang District? Has everyone been infected by her?"
"Thank you, Pure Human, and thank you, Master Ye Ning. You all have worked so hard!"
"Eight hours a day is the same as our working hours. Adults should also take more rest!"
"It feels so good to be working together, and Mistress Ye Ning is really generous and has given us everything she knows. She really has our best interests at heart."
…
Ye Ning scrolled through the comments, "Find some more people, praise them more, put their praise in a prominent position, and then write a few more personal reports about them."
Gu Su nodded immediately and started to make arrangements.
Ye Ning leaned back in her chair. They wanted honor and status. Isn't that a simple thing?
This kind of thing is the easiest to give, and it doesn't cost anything at all. But if they want to maintain it, they have to pay a price.
These news items were quickly reprinted by media around the world, and the pure humans in the capital area also saw the news at the first time.
Hu Xin watched the news, a little doubtful of her own eyes. "When did they become so responsible? And don't they keep complaining about how hard it is, and about issuing a joint statement to shorten the planting time?"
Ye Nan looked at the news: "It says here that Ye Ning personally taught them how to use their innate powers, which instantly greatly improved their abilities."
Hu Xin looked at him, "Are you moved?"
Ye Nan nodded, "We do need to improve our capabilities. We don't know how long we'll have to wait for her to come to the Capital District."
Hu Xin: "I've already invited her to the wedding, but she hasn't given me a definitive answer yet. But if she doesn't want to come, she should just reject me, right?"
Ye Nan looked at her, "I can't wait."
This matter has also been hotly debated in the Pure Human Association.
No one expected that the person who was dancing the most enthusiastically would suddenly make such an initiative.
Moreover, everyone on the Internet was discussing and praising them. These ordinary human beings instantly became the focus of attention besides Ye Ning.
Everyone felt somewhat stabbed in the back. They were the ones who had suggested shortening the planting time. But now, not only had they secretly increased their natural abilities, they were also loudly declaring they would double the planting time.
What about those pure humans who have not yet improved their innate abilities and cannot double their cultivation?
But those people seemed to have lost contact collectively, and no matter how we sent messages or made calls, there was no response.
I guess they felt like they had stabbed them in the back and were too embarrassed to reply to their messages.
Everyone could only hold back and wait to watch the live interview of Gaojiang District an hour later.
They had no idea that the pure humans in Gaojiang District had been cursing Ye Ning and Gaojiang District all night long.
They were forced to use new bracelets, but the new bracelets could not connect to the Internet and there was no way to contact others.
But no matter how they expressed their anger or wanted to leave, they would be stopped by Hou Lin and his men. He always had only one sentence, which was to let them think carefully about what Ye Ning said.
Hou Lin used almost the gentlest attitude he could, and even felt a little secretly happy when he saw them getting angry and jumping up and down.
Why should Ye Ning, who worked so hard to plant crops for everyone, be blamed and insulted by them? It was obvious that because of Ye Ning, the overall reputation of pure humanity had improved a lot.
You should practice more when cooking!
It was a quarter to eight, not yet their planting time, but they were already free.
Everyone immediately swiped their wristbands. The injured man was furious. "Just wait! We'll show everyone what you did to the pure humans! We'll show everyone how dare you imprison and search pure humans without permission!"
But as soon as they opened the bracelet, a flood of information came flooding in.
All the people they knew were asking them what happened. Their profile pictures, comments, and even the inexplicable lines expressing their determination were all on the front page.
Everyone was stunned, "What is this?"
Hou Lin looked at them and said, "The staff for the live interview will be here in fifteen minutes. Everyone can get ready first."
"Lady Ye Ning said she didn't expect everyone to have such a big misunderstanding about her. She definitely didn't mean to monopolize the limelight. This was a surprise she prepared for everyone."
"Don't worry, orcs and pure humans around the world know about this. Everyone is praising you for your greatness and selflessness."
