Kitakyou chose to film a variety show in the W safe zone for two reasons: firstly, because Shion and the leader are both there, and secondly, because the W safe zone can accommodate the most guests.
The two safest places in Yanlong Kingdom are the W safe zone, which is located on the far border and inland, and the central safe zone, which is marked by the Doomsday Beacon.
The Doomsday Beacon has been subjected to two significant attacks, leading some ordinary people to choose more evasive methods.
After all, although the Doomsday Beacon repelled the zombie horde, there were still casualties. What if you were the one who died? Therefore, the safe zone actually had the most ordinary people.
Kitakyoshi did what he said he would do. He said that as long as Tokine showed her face, she would really only show her face, and the camera would just pan across her. Even the speech was given by the leader.
He only got a small script, which was about "chance encounters" with the commander-in-chief, expressing his confidence in the Yanlong Kingdom.
Bei Qingchuan didn't create a new variety show; instead, he continued an old variety show that was very popular before the apocalypse. This show was among the luckiest, as none of its regular guests had died.
The announcement of the impending restart caused a huge uproar online.
The network superpower users were devastated. Maintaining the network with their abilities was hard work, and when the network crashed, they had to work overtime.
Best of all, Kitakyoshi actually found the script from before, and the variety show's viewership skyrocketed and received rave reviews as soon as it aired.
Kita Kiyoshi took the initiative to cut out all the emotional parts, simply letting everyone have fun. Freya represented the national team in the recording, which also elevated the country's reputation.
After each recording session, there's a live broadcast segment where viewers can guess the theme based on the guests' outfits, further fueling their anticipation.
"Sister, sister~" Freya ran over happily, clearly having a lot of fun this time.
"It seems you're adapting quite well." Shi Yin looked around. The staff around her all looked a little tired, but their spirits were quite good.
Honestly, seeing how cheerful they were while busy recording the show, even Shi Yin had the illusion that the apocalypse might have already passed, or that it had never happened at all.
The variety show they were filming was an immersive role-playing game with various themes. Perhaps because of the trials of the apocalypse, everyone was quite immersed in their roles. After a few days, some of the bolder ones even dared to have meals with Shi Yin.
Of course, the government provided the boxed meals, and Shi Yin paid for the drinks. There were a lot of people here, so it also helped the nearby shops earn more money.
Shi Yin still has a lot of money. Her daily food and drink are provided by the government, and the government provides her with daily necessities and clothes. Her salary arrives in her account every month, and she hasn't touched a single penny.
She did make changes; every month when allocating funds for donations, Shi Yin would have Nan Zhu directly deduct two-thirds from her salary card and put it into the fund.
"Of course! I've always wanted to be a star since I watched TV." Freya sat down next to Shi Yin with a grin. "It seems like they have so many fans, and lots of people like them."
Isn't that just a lack of love? And a desire for many people to like you.
Shi Yin took the juice from the side and handed it to Freya: "Now?"
"I just want to play right now." Freya chuckled. "Sister, do you want to play together?"
"Never mind." Shi Yin silently looked away. She was socially awkward. "I just want you guys to have fun. I have a lot of things to do every day."
Freya: "Then my sister must come to see me every day too."
"I really have something to do." Shi Yin coughed lightly. Actually, there were too many strangers around her today, and she preferred to be alone.
The thought of a large group of strangers staring intently at her every day, showering her with concern, was unbearable for Shi Yin.
"Then my sister is coming to see me." Freya stared at Shi Yin pitifully and suddenly grabbed Shi Yin's arm.
Shion: "...Okay, let go first...you've reversed the joint lock..."
Shi Yin pulled her hand away and shook it, sighed as she looked at the grinning Freya, but couldn't help but smile again.
"Yeah, that's just how she is, she's a really nice person." A voice suddenly came over, and Shi Yin's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and saw an actress smiling at the camera.
"Right, right? She's so cute. She has pretty older sisters watching over her every day. She's so lucky." Another adorable young woman smiled and waved to the camera. Judging from this, the live stream has been going on for a while.
Shi Yin immediately glared at Bei Qingchuan, then picked up her phone and, sure enough, the online sentiment had reversed.
Previously, Shi Yin received almost no positive reviews. Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news spreads like wildfire. Her achievements were hard to spot, but negative topics kept popping up one after another.
Now.
[You're so beautiful! I was too scared when the reporter's camera only briefly caught a glimpse of you last time, but you're actually so gorgeous up close.]
[Was there some kind of smear campaign going on before? She has such a cute smile, and she's so gentle with Freya!]
[I heard she paid for all the drinks. She's such a nice person in private, why is she such an unreasonable tyrant?]
[I was in the protest at the time. People gave me a chance to reason with them, to stand on the right. It was the group on the left who kept pushing the country backward. They deserved it, right? I survived, didn't I?]
[Addendum to the comment above! I was terrified, but when I got home, nobody questioned me, and I received all my supplies as usual, nothing was missing...]
Positive comments kept popping up, and the topic was very popular. However, Shi Yin could tell at a glance that some of them were obviously paid comments, which gave her a headache.
"What are you doing?" Shi Yin pulled Kita Kiyokawa aside: "Why are you doing something unnecessary?"
Kita Kiyokawa stood in front of Shi Yin with his arms crossed, gazing at him intently for a long time in silence.
"Do you want everyone to hate you and rebel against you, like defeating a villain, to compete for a so-called protagonist?" As soon as Kita Kiyokawa spoke, Shi Yin's expression changed.
"What are you saying?" Shi Yin retorted subconsciously, but her fingers unconsciously clenched.
“Many things can actually be salvaged. Public relations could have easily resolved this, but you deliberately took the blame and created this image yourself. I felt something was wrong a long time ago.” Kita Kiyokawa said seriously, “You’ve been working hard. Why are they attacking you with baseless accusations?”
Not only after meeting Shion, but even before Kitakyokawa came, Shion was criticized online several times for a series of decisions, including abandoning the city.
However, at that time, Kitakyoshikawa actually found it very strange.
Some opinions are better left unaddressed; there's no need to push someone out to take the blame. Shi Yin is taking on far too much blame, which is pointless.
"You know nothing. You don't know what's needed to solve the apocalypse, yet you're making decisions on your own?" Shi Yin frowned. "A protagonist who can't defeat the villains can't save the world."
Kita Kiyokawa: "You're not the villain."
Shi Yin: "You wouldn't understand if I told you. I can't defeat the apocalypse. If you can't defeat me, how can you defeat the apocalypse!"
