Chapter 53
"Sarah Jacobs! (expletive) get out of your bed, we are in trouble!"
The congresswoman who received the call had just left a political banquet early yesterday morning, but when she opened her eyes there was no confusion from a hangover.
"What happened? What did those idiots do to me again? Or did our candidate and his little canary explode?"
Sarah spoke very quickly, but she washed up quickly.
"None of these." A nearly collapsed voice came from the other end of the line.
"Our new world has been discovered."
"What!?"
The congresswoman put on her suit as quickly as possible and rushed to her office, but the scene she saw made her breath stop.
"Smoke, explosives, and even cloth coverings are useless. This thing seems to be alive. It even avoids when it sees a helicopter coming. It's much smarter than my dog, who still can't learn to catch a Frisbee."
The congressman who was speaking seemed to have collapsed. He was now speaking with a very calm look. He was obviously only in his thirties, but his half-bald chin and weathered eyes made him look like he was in his fifties.
"Levi Goldstein, who leaked the news about our new continent?" Sarah looked at the logo on TV pointing directly to the space barrier, and said after a while.
The New World is the highest-level secret of the entire country A. It has been surrounded by so much that not even a mosquito can get in.
If the space barrier had not reached a height of tens of thousands of meters, they would definitely have added a cover on it to cover the entire space gate.
But even if there is no coverage, they have built a protective wall around it and done electromagnetic interference.
...So how did those drones break through the electromagnetic interference and rush in?
"All radar and satellite signals are blocked here. It's just a wasteland on all maps. So who leaked the information? My dear Levi."
Sarah's voice was brisk but contained a hint of murderous intent.
"Don't order me around like a subordinate, Sarah. You and I are on the same level. If I was the one who leaked the news, I should be the one on the headlines."
Levi said, gritting his teeth.
He was also incredulous when he heard the news. Just as they were happy when they found out that the people on the other side of the space gate didn't even have muskets, they were as sad now.
The other side has so many resources that they may have to share with other countries now!
Especially those crazy barbarians across the sea, those lunatics with nuclear weapons in their hands are not stupid yet!
"It seems that the stylist recommended to you before was of no use to you."
Sarah breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Levi's look. It seemed that the news was not leaked from Levi's side, and no one in their interest group betrayed them.
——Although there was definitely leaked information, it was definitely not from the center.
"That's good. I can now safely push the blame on Marcus."
Sarah was thinking about the name of her enemy and had already started reporting the handling measures to the secretary who had just arrived.
"Contact the media and do your best to suppress this matter. Even if you can't suppress it, you have to guide it in an unclear direction. The longer the better!"
"Tell the social media platforms to shut up and delete all trending searches. No word of this can get out. Even if someone discusses it, they will be banned."
"Finally, contact the Senate. We need a meeting to discuss the 'New World'."
Sarah said with a frown.
Levi also left with them, and after they left, the participants in the video call were quickly isolated and all entered a small black room that was isolated from the signal.
Medical protective equipment, which had never appeared before, now appeared in large quantities among the people who came to investigate.
Including one of the young men who had a red mole on the corner of his eye.
The young man looked up at the sign above, his eyes curved as if he was smiling.
*
"...In summary, the sign incident this morning has been discovered and reported by the media throughout Country A. Although the subsequent reports have been suppressed, unfortunately, some media outlets still discovered and filmed the scene."
"We eventually captured this logo and found that it was some small drones, the most commonly sold drones on the market, with no logos on them, and even the modified materials were the most common, but there were more of them."
The congresswoman sat in her seat and talked about the incident.
"The citizens of City M are now rioting, and they seem extremely panicked. The mayor's appeasement is no longer effective, and they are preparing to organize a march to try to get an explanation."
After Sarah finished speaking, she stopped talking. She had explained everything she had to say. Now it all depended on how the people in front of her would react.
"Senator Sarah, you and Levi are responsible for the management of the 'New World'. This matter should ultimately be the responsibility of you and Senator Levi."
A hook-nosed man with black curly hair said.
"I was in charge of the management at the beginning, but the management of the New World was handed over to the military a week ago, and your signature was also on it, Senator Marcus. What a coincidence that this happened on the third day after the handover."
Sarah was not someone to be trifled with and bit back immediately.
Marcus also has a bad temper, or at least he appears to have a bad temper.
"Sarah, you are slandering me! Your people are still over there!"
The congressmen around them watched them act, and judged from their expressions whether they were acting it out for themselves or whether the matter was really as it seemed on the surface.
"You know whether it's slander or not. My people are all equipped with signal blockers, and one of your people was even fined for refusing to carry a signal blocker. Although he later put it on, who knows what happened before he didn't wear it!"
Sarah snapped.
At this time, Levi also came out to make the final move. He sat aside and looked at the documents handed over by the secretary and said.
"The president is already asking about this matter. Although some of the public opinion on the Internet has been suppressed, there are still some persistent people asking about it. We must give an explanation within three days, not one day."
At this time, the centrists in the Senate finally saw clearly that both parties were a little confused about this matter and it was very likely done by a third party, so they stepped forward to mediate.
"The matter of the 'New World' concerns the interests of the entire country A. Anyone who has seen the New World will definitely know what we can gain there. There are also many people who are greedy because of this. I think there should be many people in the 'New World' base who have difficult family conditions, right?"
All the old foxes present understood the implication of this congressman's words.
If this were a personal hero movie, a congressman would stand up and fight for the truth instead of just pushing out a poor scapegoat who should have been a hero.
After all, God knows what kind of germs will infect the New World, and their soldiers on the front line are very likely to be sacrificed.
...Unfortunately, country A is a country that cannot even guarantee the survival of disabled firefighters.
All I can say is that the more something is filmed in the movie, the less of it they have.
"Yes, I think there will be such a greedy person in the base."
I don't know who spoke first, but the topic seemed to have ended successfully.
Several people in the base who were either orphans or suffering from terminal illnesses and had family ties were selected.
One of the young men with a red mole on the corner of his eye stared blankly at the interrogator in front of him and pointed at himself.
"I?"
In the end, the young man was rescued by his own director.
After returning to his room, Gu Youxing lay down on the bed, and 777's crazy laughter came into his mind.
[Hahahahahaha host you really are hahahahahahahaha]
777 had never seen such a scene before. While cheating others, they also cheated the vests.
Gu Youxing held his chin up, feeling a little depressed but also a little amused. This was normal political means. Once he climbed to a high position, naturally no one would treat him like this.
But it is only in another world, not their own national base. If it were in the Red Star Base, Gu Youxing would have to let those villains see what it means to be in the top three in terms of combat effectiveness.
But in this world...
This is not the world that gave birth to and educated him. This is something that people in this world should consider.
Gu Youxing didn't think that country A would make him work hard for it, and he fought politically to gain a position in this country.
Having a certain status can make it easier for the vest to do things - as long as you can take people with you when you run away.
Thinking of Shen Guofu and the Jiang family, Gu Youxing's eyes softened for a second.
[However, it was a stroke of genius for you to expose the location of the space gate. After all, the more people compete for it, the more forces will be restrained, which will make it easier for you to fish in troubled waters. How did you come up with this?]
777 was quite impressed with the host's behavior. After all, other hosts were not so brave as to walk directly on the tightrope before they had completed their development in the early stages.
【Let the cultivation world have a sense of urgency. 】
Gu Youxing recalled the scene where he observed the three realms back and forth by controlling his mental power, and rubbed his eyebrows again.
[The cultivation world has already taken the ancient world for granted. And the modern world is not much better, and they have already started discussing whether their small human experiments can start again. ]
Gu Youxing looked at those people discussing things as if it was a matter of course, and felt deeply that he still had some conscience.
At least more than these people.
So how can we let these people get what they want?
[In short, neither side treats the ancient world as human beings. I have already thought of a way to deal with the world of cultivation, and I will let public opinion remind the modern world for the time being.]
As he spoke, Gu Youxing opened the web page of the modern world in his mind and sighed deeply.
[Although it is only temporary, it can allow these people to be reminded of other things later. ]
For example, a warrior who has cultivated spiritual power.
Thinking of this, Gu Youxing blinked his eyes, and Han Jue, who was far away in the world of cultivation, moved.
——Put a book on mental training methods customized from the system into the collection of Tianwen Pavilion.
It's normal for a master to give some benefits to his apprentice.

While the young man was being interrogated, the forces belonging to Country A had already begun sweeping the edge of City M, especially those drones. They were trying to find out where these drones came from and when were the programs programmed. However, they only traced the logistics and the logistics company that sent the express. They didn't even know who put the express there.
After checking the situation of everyone at the 'New World' base, there was still no news, not even the slightest clue.
They even found out that several people at the New World base were having extramarital affairs.
There was something weird about the whole incident.
And when all the investigation results were placed in front of the congressmen, they couldn't believe it.
In the past, even if they investigated the truth, they would just cover it up. Although they knew who did it, sometimes they couldn't say it. They didn't expect that this time they really didn't know who did it.
They even checked out the spies, but the confidentiality was too good, and the matter was quite bizarre, so those spies were very obedient in obtaining intelligence for the Quadrant.
None of the spies went towards City M.
The entire online and offline public opinion has become increasingly intense, and the backlash of previously suppressed public opinion has caused these legislators to suffer incalculable political losses.
Especially since this year is an election year, the occurrence of such a major incident at such a critical time for the two parties has made the situation even more tense.
The two parties, led by the two presidential candidates, directly threw dirty water on each other.
The quarrel between the two sides was a great pleasure for all the people watching, and only the citizens of City M who really cared about their own living conditions were going crazy.
They watched the news at noon and wished they could kick all these congressmen out of their positions.
However, although they cannot drive these lawmakers out of their positions, they can at least march to city hall.
Looking at the citizens marching, the mayor, who already felt his public support rate was declining: ...
Damn space gate!
Just when these congressmen were getting extremely anxious and wished they could let the scapegoat take the blame.
A media outlet actually released a clear video of the space gate.
Looking at the clear image of ancient humans wearing armor and holding spears that appeared half a person's height opposite the space gate on the route.
All the high-level officials of country A.
“Fuck!”
*
"... He is obviously a scapegoat." Xie Qiping shook his head as he watched the news at noon.
"If the culprit could be found in such a short time, those drones would never have been able to fly over the military base and would have been shot down long ago."
Yu Caiwei also nodded and said, "And they said that the previous footage was all photoshopped. Do the video effects need to be so fake? And there was no editing at all. It just happened to connect with the footage of the citizens this morning."
As expected, the incident was also reported in the news and the citizens were interviewed, but the citizens did not believe that this poor and pitiful orphan soldier was a sociopath.
A citizen holding a sign that read "The Truth!" shouted at the camera in a very emotional tone.
"If he's a sociopath! Why doesn't he kill those presidential candidates? It's not like other sociopaths haven't done that before!"
"And if the video was from home, why can I see the footage of my relatives this morning? I can be sure that the footage has not been edited! It would take an hour to create such a special effect!"
The citizens' roar at the top of their lungs was also recognized by Xie's parents.
It just so happened that both children’s current careers were in City M, and Xie’s parents were considering whether or not to stop the business in City M and let the children come back temporarily.
After all, the current situation in City M is really dangerous.
However, after speaking out about this situation, they encountered fierce opposition.
Of course, only one person objected.
"...Mom and Dad, I put a lot of effort into that property, I can't just walk away like this, the property will be launched after the Chinese New Year!"
Xie Pingyuan had completely lost his previous high spirits. After making phone calls for several days and confirming that there was no way to save the situation, Xie Pingyuan could only think of going to the scene to see if there was any way to save the situation.
He had something even more terrifying than this.
——Things like space gates had never happened in my previous life.
There has never been any space gate in the entire country A.
Moreover, in his previous life, Xie Yuanzhi didn’t even have a junior fellow apprentice in M City!
He didn't study sociology either.
Of course, it is possible that Xie Yuanzhi did read it, but he did not tell him about it later when he was about to inherit the family business.
But he knew whether Xie Yuanzhi had a junior fellow apprentice.
Xie Pingyuan was in a state of great panic.
All his dependencies since his rebirth, all the matters he thought were under his control.
Now it's all collapsed.
What he has to face is an unknown situation.
——Just like the project that Xie Yuanzhi successfully completed in his previous life, a space portal suddenly appeared next to him, which was as unknown as it was.
Xie Pingyuan's parents did not notice Xie Pingyuan's panic at all. They just thought that Xie Pingyuan had never experienced losing so much money before, so he was a little scared.
However, Xie's parents had made up their minds. Even if Xie Pingyuan lost so much money, they would never let Xie Pingyuan go back.
Even though they didn't love Xie Pingyuan as much as Xie Yuanzhi, they didn't want Xie Pingyuan to go into danger like this.
Even if there was no space gate there and no creatures from another dimension, the rioting citizens alone would be enough to make Xie Pingyuan suffer.
Xie Qiping looked at the stubborn Xie Pingyuan and rubbed his brows to persuade him: "I just called Siman. Although the higher-ups strongly denied it, the news has already spread over there. I don't know who did it, but the space gate really exists!"
At this point, Xie Qiping's tone became stern.
"I know you're worried about your building, but who knows who is on the other side of the space gate, and whether they have germs! And have you seen the citizens rioting over there? And those homeless people who have been living in the rich area, are you sure you can accept such a scene?"
Xie Pingyuan calmed down temporarily after hearing Xie Qiping's harsh words, but he still pointed at Xie Yuanzhi and said unwillingly, "Where is Xie Yuanzhi's company? It's still on the rise. His shopping platform is also based in City M, right?"
Hearing this, Yu Caiwei also said to Xie Yuanzhi worriedly: "Yuanzhi, why don't you move your and your junior brother's companies to the capital? City M is very dangerous now."
Xie Yuanzhi, who had been sending messages nearby, raised his head when he heard someone calling him, and said with relief: "I was just discussing with my junior brother. He doesn't plan to stay in M City now. He wants to finish college in the capital first."
"It just so happens that my storage system has not been built yet, so I can work from home on my junior brother's platform, as long as I can keep up with the work progress. The salesmen are scattered all over the country, so the backend server needs to be moved."
Seeing that Xie Yuanzhi was obedient and had no plans to go to City M, the two parents breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xie Pingyuan with stern eyes.
Xie Pingyuan: ...You are here specifically to mess with me, right?
In the end, Xie Pingyuan stubbornly took a team of mercenaries to City M.
Xie Yuanzhi stayed obediently in the capital to meet up with his junior fellow apprentice, and to see the chaos in country A.
Now it's not just country A, the whole world is in uproar because of the space gate.
However, no other country has such a unique geographical location as Country A, especially the space gate is located directly on the land of Country A.
But other countries are eyeing this land, especially country A, which now has part of its military forces overseas and has cut its military spending drastically this year.
Now many countries have begun to make moves on the international stage.
Soon photos and videos of the space gate appeared on the Internet, and the discussion below grew at a rapid pace.
Now with internal and external troubles, it seems that Country A is going to be doomed at first glance. Unfortunately, the world's number one is worthy of being the world's number one, and the means it uses are quite strange.
But it works.
"Country A is just waiting to provide humanitarian assistance to the world on the other side of the space gate."
The Secretary of State made the announcement to the media around the world in a righteous manner.
"The world on the other side is just like us, with humans. They also have women and men, and all their physical characteristics are roughly the same as ours. Unfortunately, the humans on the other side are being abused by the entire ancient royal family!"
The Secretary of State also showed photos of a beaten and bound woman and a half-dressed farmer who looked extremely pitiful.
The wind direction on the Internet suddenly changed.
Although we are not good people, the opponents are even worse than us, and may even be perverted sadists. So, to some extent, we are also villains.
However, Gu Youxing saw the photo: "..."
The reasoning is right, but the photo is wrong.
Who is the hungry farmer in Fengchao across the street who is strong and muscular, and the woman with short hair and a waist-binding tie?
At least the fake one looks a little bit like it!
*
Fengchao.
Great court meeting.
The twice-monthly grand court meetings have now become three times a month, but most of the ministers present will not complain. After all, none of the ministers have slept well since the entrance to another big world appeared in the suburbs of Beijing.
Even Emperor Yuanxing was thinking about whether he could move the capital.
The entire court argued about this for several months, and even the New Year was not celebrated well.
Emperor Yuanxing wanted to communicate with the other side first, but unfortunately the other side ignored them. Feng Dynasty also had the demeanor of the Celestial Empire, and of course would not rush to please them.
However, yesterday, changes occurred at the entrance again.
The human who was guarding the entrance but not speaking to them suddenly raised some words, which seemed to be the text of that world, but no one here could understand it.
The entrance seemed to know that they couldn't understand it, so it translated the words directly a day later.
After hearing those words, the leader of the guards guarding the entrance fainted immediately.
Finally, as the deputy leader of the imperial guards of the nephew of the Queen Mother, he tremblingly copied these words and sent them to the emperor at today's forest*evening*tidying up the grand court meeting.
And he saw Emperor Yuanxing cursing the emperor across from him:...
"Despicable barbarian! Uneducated! Undisciplined! Shameless and rude!"
Emperor Yuanxing threw the memorial directly at the ministers.
It fell right in front of King Chungnyeong who was dozing off.
"You should go to the guillotine, you disgusting huang--"
When Prince Zhongning was halfway through reading, Marquis Weiyuan behind him covered his mouth with his hand.
Weiyuan Hou looked at Emperor Yuanxing awkwardly: My dear little ancestor, you can’t touch the dragon’s butt!
