Chapter 150 A SOS Signal in the Middle of the Night
The news caused an uproar online.
[So the reason the people from the base stayed in the central area for so long wasn't because they had so much official business to discuss, but rather to treat the anchor points left behind by the psychic ability users?]
Why lie to the public? If you were attacked, just admit it. What's wrong with saying it?
Has Shan Ran changed since becoming district head? Has he become like those politicians before, lying and deceiving us? Disappointing...
We want to know the truth; we have the right to know the truth!
[No, isn't the key point of this matter that top-tier families sent assassins to divide our Third Continent? If they reprimand the central region now, they'll have achieved their goal.]
Why should I tell you? You keep talking about the right to know, but you're incapable of handling this. Letting you know would only cause more trouble. It takes time to process things in the central area. Announcing things after everything is resolved is to avoid causing unrest, and there's absolutely no problem with that.
[The powerful families of the First Continent have been completely silent lately, as if they've fallen into a deep depression since the last attack. There's not a sound online either. They used to mock us all the time, but now they don't dare utter a word. I never imagined they'd secretly send assassins to do something like this. They're such good actors.]
[You believe it's a suicide squad attack from the central area? Who knows who did it?]
[Where did this sarcastic person come from? Are they afraid to say it directly for fear of being hunted down and killed by Shan Ran? If you're going to make wild guesses, at least use your brain. The central area invited people from the base there to have a proper discussion. Why would they kill the base commander for no reason? Are they out of their mind?]
Stop speculating! I'm really curious what the people at Evergreen Base have to say. Calling on Evergreen Base, please come out and confirm this!
Not long after the online argument, Evergreen Base also released an obituary, confirming that what the Central District said was true, and stated that it would definitely follow the Central District's footsteps and lead Evergreen Base to develop well. At the same time, it vowed to avenge Su Cheng and all the base members!
Almost simultaneously, the central district issued another important notice.
Following a recent parliamentary meeting, it was announced that Shan Ran had been appointed as the executive officer of the Third Continent.
The meeting highlighted many key points and outlined future development directions.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is that, starting today, Shan Ran will lead the entire Third Continent forward into the new century.
Although the public was already aware of the impending upheaval on the Third Continent when they came to the base for the meeting, and that this would change the entire world order.
However, when the central area was officially announced, it still caused a huge reaction.
[Congratulations to Shan Ran on becoming the Executive Officer of the Third Continent!]
[Congratulations to Shan Ran on becoming the Executive Officer of the Third Continent!]
[Congratulations to Shan Ran on becoming the Executive Officer of the Third Continent!]
[...]
Many people kept refreshing the screen, genuinely happy about the news.
Faced with this major piece of good news, many critics have fallen silent.
These haters include people who were once suppressed by Shan Ran, such as the remnants of the Green Light Base; some people who were misled by online trolls; people who do not want the Third Continent to develop too well and surpass the other two continents; people who are jealous of Shan Ran's talent and strength; people who inexplicably dislike Shan Ran, etc.
Nowadays, without a large influx of online trolls flooding the screen, these trolls' organizations are not strong enough and dare not provoke trouble when most people are celebrating.
Therefore, he only dared to hide in a dark corner and silently watch the news on the screen, as well as Shan Ran standing in the center with a big smile, type a vicious message, and then delete it quietly.
From the moment Shan Ran took the position of leader, all the haters could only look up to her, and all the insults could no longer harm her.
Have you noticed that online public opinion seems to have improved a lot lately? Most of the people who used to argue with me online have disappeared.
I agree, especially with those obviously paid trolls. I knew those accounts very well; I wrote them all down in a notebook, but now they've all vanished.
[It's not just about online trolls; how long has it been since we've heard anything from the First Continent?]
"Damn, now that you mention it, it seems so! Those people from the First Continent used to love to show off, either bragging about their lives or belittling people from other continents. The way they looked down on others was really disgusting."
Wait, that's not the point. The point is, it's been a really long time since we've seen them out and about. Even though we don't want to see them on such a great day, it's really strange that they've been completely silent.
[Where are they? Calling Young Master Rui, calling Young Master Shengxia, calling Miss Wenliu~ Oh dear, where are those young masters and misses? Where are their lackeys? Are they too scared to show their faces because of Shanran's imposing presence, and can only cower like turtles?]
[Something's definitely not right. Before, whenever there was any news about Shan Ran, these people would be the first to jump in with sarcastic remarks. It's like they all disappeared overnight. Don't you guys find that strange? Are there any ordinary people from the First Continent who can tell us what happened?]
Besides the top-tier aristocratic families, the First Continent also has many smaller families and ordinary people. Otherwise, how could the entire continent function normally if it relied solely on the pampered scions of these families who never lift a finger? Where have all these ordinary people gone?
I know someone on the First Continent, but they haven't replied to my message.
Me too, several friends I knew have disappeared without a trace!
[Someone must have cut off the entire internet connection on the First Continent. Why would they do that? Is it because the conspiracy of the top families has been exposed, leaving them speechless in front of the people on other continents?]
Those people are incredibly shameless. I suspect they're afraid Shan Ran will retaliate against them, so they closed off the entire continent beforehand, sealing it off to prepare for some wicked scheme.
What kind of conspiracy would require disconnecting the internet? I have a strange, ominous feeling about this.
[Screw him! Our medical stronghold was wiped out by Executor Shanran all by himself. Just you wait and see, things will only get better from here on out. It'll definitely be better than the world before the apocalypse.]
[Calling out to the people of the First Continent, calling out to the people of the First Continent, is there anyone who will speak up?]
[...]
Originally, only a few people noticed the anomaly on the First Continent, but after the matter was posted online, it attracted more and more attention.
But no matter how many times they sent messages to people on the First Continent or shouted on the forum, no one responded.
Three days later, in the early morning, a post suddenly appeared online.
[Help! I am from the main family of the Chen family on the First Continent. A high-level digital information ability user has cut off the internet to the entire continent. That person's level is extremely high. We finally managed to find a chance to get back online.]
So many people died on the First Continent. At first, it was ordinary people who died, then the members of the minor families died, and now it's the turn of our four minor families!
The Mikhail family is gone, not a single one of them is left. Now only the David family, the Wang family, and our Chen family are left. We can't escape now. Is there anyone who can come and save us?
Please!
This post drew out all the night owls who hadn't slept in the early hours of the morning, instantly propelling it to the top spot.
[Holy crap, I've finally met people from the First Continent!]
[What's going on? Why is he asking for help right after coming out? Is he a scammer?]
Which scammer is out here in the middle of the night trying to cheat people?
Not necessarily. There are plenty of mentally unstable people these days; maybe they just enjoy the unusual?
[I knew something must have happened on the First Continent, otherwise why would we have been silent for so long?]
[What exactly happened? All the ordinary people and members of the minor aristocratic families are dead? Are the four minor aristocratic families also going to be killed? Who killed you? You didn't even explain yourself in your post.]
[The First Continent only had those few factions. Ordinary people and minor families were all dead, and the four minor families were being hunted down. Those who lost internet access were digital information ability users, so that eliminates the nightmare beasts. In the end, wouldn't that leave only the three major families?]
[Your analysis gave me goosebumps. So the murderer is from one of the three great families??]
The original poster replied: "[They're from the three great families! I was so excited to finally get internet access that I forgot to mention! It's them! Please, whoever you are, come and save us right now! If you're too late, we're all going to die!]"
The reply was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, creating a deep crater and stirring up countless clouds of dust.
The screen scrolled even faster below, and many people couldn't even find where their own post had gone after they had commented.
[Have the Ram family, the Solomon family, the Arlesde family... gone mad? Why would they commit such a massacre? Did they become psychologically twisted after the truth was exposed by the Mountain Dye Enforcer? Are they seeking revenge?]
[It can't be that outrageous. Those powerful families are incredibly cunning and shameless. Even if we knew their true colors, they wouldn't feel any shame; at most, it would only affect their plans.]
Exactly, those at the top are all extreme egoists; who cares about you?
Are we going to do another experiment?
[Damn it, what kind of experiment involves massacring the entire continent? The First Continent may not have as many people as the other two, but it's still a considerable population. How many were killed by the Beasts after the apocalypse, and how many were killed by their own 'people'?]
[He's a scammer, this person is a scammer!]
The original poster replied: "Believe me, I didn't lie."
So many people died. It started with the internet being cut off, then ordinary people disappeared, and the number of deaths dwindled. When people realized something was wrong, the three major families came forward and said it was Shan Ran's conspiracy, that she wanted to gradually eliminate everyone on the First Continent.
Therefore, the three major families decided to gather all the ordinary people together and protect them. The surviving ordinary people were all kept in the same place. Before long, they used the same excuse to persuade the smaller families.
Unlike ordinary people accustomed to being enslaved, the members of minor noble families sensed something amiss and refused to obey orders, so they were all killed!
