"Aunt Qiu, why are we hiding underground? Is it an invasion by alien species from the Old Ruins?" Hua Zhixue looked around at the unfamiliar room. Outside the window, all she could see was cold metal and the earth, but no sky.
This is the underground city of the Nuwa Base headquarters.
Hua Zhixue, Qin Shu, and Si Jingxing were brought here in the middle of the night last night, and their parents have been nowhere to be found. It wasn't until this morning that Si Jingxing's mother, Qiu Yu, who is also Si Yehong's wife, came to see the children.
Hua Zhixue clung tightly to Qiu Yu's clothes, refusing to let go.
Although she was young, she knew that when it was very dangerous outside, such as when there was a large-scale outbreak of alien species, she should go to the safe city to take refuge.
Instead of giving the children a perfunctory answer, Qiu Yu answered them earnestly:
"The situation outside is very complicated and dangerous. It's not as simple as a mutant uprising. Your parents are too busy to take care of you, so we sent you here. You're both great, you can take care of yourselves, right?"
Hua Zhixue immediately grabbed one of them with each hand: "Aunt Qiu, we can take care of ourselves! We'll wait for you to come back."
"Good girl, Xiaoxue."
Hua Zhixue then said, "Aunt Qiu, please say hello to my parents for me."
"good."
After giving instructions to the people looking after the children, Qiu Yu left.
After leaving the Nuwa base, she drove through the streets of Hua'an City.
The streets, usually jammed to the point of making you question your existence, are now almost deserted, with only a few people hurrying by. Along the way, you can still see several sections of the city's skyrail that have been sealed off for investigation due to the mutant attacks; the tracks are stained with blood, and only detectives are busy going about their tasks.
The entire city of Hua'an was unusually quiet, so much so that if an accident occurred, the sound would be particularly clear, carried by the wind through the streets and alleys, causing widespread panic.
As of 12:00 noon on the 19th,
More than two hundred attacks by mutants have occurred throughout Middle-earth.
The most serious incident occurred in District 7, located in the southernmost part of the district. Because the port was not expected to harbor a large number of mutants, the entire port was attacked, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
However, looking at the world, the situation in District 7 is still under control, while Spymagor has been completely turned into hell.
In the past, this place was hell for those oppressed by capital, but now it is hell for everyone who failed to leave Spremagau in time. In the face of death, everyone is equal.
In addition, the number of attacks by mutants in other parts of the world has also increased rapidly, and the scale of these attacks has changed from isolated and out-of-control incidents to organized and large-scale offensives. Often, it is a small number of rational mutants who deliberately expel and drive out mutants who have completely lost their minds into densely populated areas.
Countries have organized defense forces, but the mutants are not alien species, nor do they attack from the outside. Instead, they often suddenly appear in a community or public place, making them impossible to defend against.
Furthermore, because mutants are difficult to identify under normal circumstances unless they undergo a significant change in appearance or lose their rationality, more and more people are forced to indiscriminately be wary of everyone around them.
The rifts between people have become the biggest negative impact of this global chaos.
The situation is further exacerbated by the fact that heads of state from various countries are all out of contact.
This is where the benefits of being in a state of preparedness in advance become apparent.
Early warnings, advance deployment of defenses, and advance preparation of supplies ensured that the Central Plains, which was the first to experience such incidents and the most frequent occurrences, suffered the least damage.
As mutant attacks began to occur worldwide, and mutants hiding in the seas landed, the online sentiment shifted, with more people turning their attention to the crisis, and the forces attacking the Central Plains suddenly weakened.
On the evening of the 19th, Chinese and Turkish state media released four consecutive messages.
The first warning is to issue another alert, indicating that an uprising may occur in the old ruins along with the unrest caused by the mutants.
The second point immediately states that as early as the start of the state of alert, the four major security bases have entered a state of combat readiness, and the combat forces of each region have also been assembled and are ready to act immediately in the event of an incident to protect the safety of people's lives as much as possible.
The first point is a warning, which prepares people psychologically; the second point is to give people peace of mind.
As for the latter two, they pertain to external affairs.
Thirdly, the Chinese and Turkish officials directly questioned the International Security Confederation (ISAC) about why it illegally detained their representatives and those of other countries, and forcibly severed contact, especially at such a critical juncture.
Not a single word expressed doubt, yet everyone could see the clues and be filled with suspicion.
The last one directly confronts the Federation.
From the evidence confirming that the murderer in Shazhou City had no connection with the Central Plains, to the fact that the murderer came from Moon Island and that the Moon Island government received federal support;
Since the incident in Shazhou City, the dog farm in the fourth district has been shut down due to suspicions of being related to the mutants. Now, there is conclusive evidence that a considerable number of the mutants were maliciously given drugs.
From the numerous achievements of the new plan, the rescue of superhumans on the verge of mutation, to the capture of a large number of netizens who were using aliases to slander and spread rumors about the Central Plains, and their identification of being instructed by others.
Finally, dozens of professional scholars from China and the world pointed out that Dr. Paul's article had problems, and that the verification could not prove that the new scheme could catalyze mutations. Then, one after another, federal official media outlets took to the streets, using Dr. Paul's article to attack China.
The presentation of concrete evidence and the implementation of clearly appropriate measures effectively countered the rumors spread by the Federation and its allies that the new plan in Central Earth would catalyze mutations and create mutants.
