This sudden commotion left all the survivors and bewildered officials completely baffled.
They all put down what they were holding and stopped to watch.
After a long, three-minute blast, the news that followed was like a bomb dropped on a calm lake.
It instantly ignited everyone's emotions!
Shen Shiwei's voice, tinged with sorrow, rang in everyone's ears.
"Fellow countrymen, I am Shen Shiwei, Commander of the Eastern Theater Command."
"Here, I have some heartbreaking news to share with you."
"At 9:28 a.m. today, our beloved pioneer, Mr. Qiu Xingzhou, was attacked and has been confirmed dead."
"An investigation has revealed that this heinous terrorist attack was a meticulously planned and deliberately retaliatory attack by remnants of the United States!"
"I am acting on orders from my superiors and now declare a state of martial law throughout the country."
"On this day of national mourning, I hope my compatriots can turn their grief into strength and unite as one..."
The crowd wailed, deeply saddened by Qiu Xingzhou's demise.

Unfortunately, many of those in high positions were not bound to crystals at the time, and Liu Kai was unsure of their status.
This is only a preliminary assessment.
Shen Shiwei did not launch this attack alone; he must have had accomplices of the same rank.
And it is the most likely.
That was the same Western Theater Commander who, back then, cited old age as the reason for not binding the crystal.
There are strategic nuclear submarines along the coast of the Eastern Theater Command.
The Western Theater Command is located in a strategically important area and controls all the land and sea routes.
As long as Shen Shiwei wins him over, the remaining war zones are nothing to fear.
This was not a baseless guess by Liu Kai.
Because at this time.
The other war zone commanders who were bound to the crystals were just as bewildered as the ordinary survivors.
They didn't even get any advance notice of this!
