Chapter 454: 453, Sensational_1
Back at the Intelligence Bureau, with Li Hua’s help, Intelligence Minister Xi Weng edited and translated the entire video.
Li Hua had a fair understanding of English, so he gently added English subtitles to the video.
Once the video was ready, Xi Weng sent it to His Majesty the Emperor’s phone for his review.
A few minutes later, Xi Weng received the imperial decree: “Alright, send it to Blue Star as is, I’m genuinely curious about Su Yu’s reaction to this video…By the way, do we have any thod to capture Su Yu’s expression?”
“I’m afraid not, Your Majesty.” Xi Weng replied, feeling troubled. “After all, Su Yu is in the Sanctuary; we don’t have any advanced asures to monitor him without him noticing.”
“What a pity.”
…
Half an hour later, the sky on Blue Star suddenly darkened.
Regardless of the brilliant sunshine or the dark looming rainclouds, every Blue Star human could feel the abrupt darkening of the sky.
Xue Wenli was deep in the southwestern mountains of Bashu at the ti, seeking to convince a mighty ancient figure nad “Wang Mang” to return to the world and help humanity win the war.
She noticed the previously clear sky unexpectedly darken.
“Is it about to rain?” Xue Wenli looked up at the sky.
But upon looking up, she noticed that it wasn’t clouds obstructing the sun but rather an unusual darkening of the sky.
“Sothing’s not right!” Realizing this, she pulled out her phone intending to call headquarters to enquire.
Just as she unlocked her phone and opened the contacts, a distortion appeared in the sky above.
Consecutively, a large image unfurled in the sky.
The scene in the image was of Pri Minister Cao Cao, Pu Langte, and Victoria having a conversation, with subtitles in both Chinese and English at the bottom of the screen.
If Xue Wenli had been at the headquarters, she could have witnessed a shocking scene—globally, the spotlights from 3725 Giant Skru Bases shot up into the sky, forming a huge image that spanned the entire Blue Star, clear from any location on the planet’s surface.
People walking down the street started to look up at the sky. After seeing the conversation between Cao Cao and the Skru, many were surprised, standing slack-jawed, their minds numb.
Most people were aware of the onslaught of over 3000 monsters; Su Yu had ntioned it during a live stream, and it was a hot topic online at the mont.
Everyone initially assud they would walk directly out from the bases, but now the Skru planned to amass all the monsters at once through the “Gravity Funnel” plan!
This prompted one terrifying thought: annihilation of nations!
Even the mighty Huaxia Nation would have a hard ti enduring such enormous pressure, let alone other countries.
In the final part of the video, Cao Cao surrenders!
Everyone has heard of Cao Cao’s bravery—in a legendary battle, he famously fought a Skru God Level enemy wielding a super-god weapon hilt which had a profound impact on people.
Many softly prayed for his wellbeing, hoping he wouldn’t die in exile.
Now, Cao Cao was not dead, but had chosen to surrender to the Skru.
Although he surrendered to the Skru to protect his country from disaster, this news was undoubtedly a massive blow to the morale of the people of Blue Star!
…
This video also sparked huge controversy abroad!
Once the “Gravity Funnel” plan comnces, it cannot be stopped; inevitably, one nation will suffer. But which nation will be the unlucky one to bear the brunt?
Moreover, with the old man from the Huaxia Nation surrendering to the Skru, if we lose the war, won’t the people of other regions beco sacrificial lambs while Huaxia Nation remains untouched due to their reservation policy?
Driven by the sentint of “better to be less but fair than more but unjust,” people from all around the world took to the streets in protest.
From Paris in Hair Country, London in the United Kingdom, Constantinople of Turkey, to Santiago…
In any city with significant population, there were as endless streams of protestors, as if floodwaters unleashed.
According to committed observers, the global protest reached the staggering scale of tens of millions by evening!
In the beginning, these protestors did not know what to protest against.
Protest against Cao Cao’s surrender?
What good would their protest do?
Protest against the Skru’s reservation policy for the Huaxia Nation?
That wouldn’t help either!
In the end, after serious discussions, the protestors rallied to disband the Blue Star United Governnt and urged the governnt to prioritize national interests.
…
As for the gaming world, Su Yu’s private ssages exploded almost instantaneously.
The guild leaders in the chat room kept ntioning Su Yu, saying that sothing significant had happened and asked him to check out the forum imdiately.
Upon visiting the official ga forum and reading the video posted by the Skru, Su Yu couldn’t help but smirk bitterly.
He had no knowledge of this “Gravity Funnel.” Nothing like this had happened in his previous life.
Before launching their attack in the previous life, the Skru occasionally released a few monsters to decimate human settlents—main industrial bases, high-energy particle physics laboratories, critical military bases, nuclear missile silos, and such.
If Su Yu rembered correctly, in the six months prior, only 352 monsters were unleashed, averaging less than 60 a month, causing limited impact on civilians.
The Skru’s release of more than 3000 monsters, all concentrated in one location this ti, was undoubtedly an attempt to annihilate nations!
The decision of Cao Cao to surrender for his country was expected.
If Su Yu were in his position, he’d probably surrender too!
…
Returning to the ga with a heavy heart.
As soon as Su Yu ca online, many guild leaders in the chat room, bombarded him with ssages, asking, “Boss Ke, what’s your take on this?”
Su Yu replied, “? I just read the forums.”
The guild leaders: “…..”
[Red-Eyed Black Dragon]: “Not that, we an your thoughts on Cao Cao’s surrender.”
“Right.”
“Right.”
“Exactly.”
“In my opinion,” Su Yu replied in the chat room, “This is a cunning move by the Skru.”
“If Cao Cao surrenders, it will hit morale; if he doesn’t, our nation will be the pri target of the Gravity Funnel. There’s no optimal solution.”
[Shepherd in the Clouds]: “Then, Boss Ke, what should we do?”
“If you ask …”
Su Yu paused a bit, responding a few seconds later: “I think everyone should avoid being influenced by the Skru. Carry on leveling up and gathering equipnt like before, leave this matter to the governnt to decide!”
“The decision-makers are level-headed, as demonstrated by the speedy developnt of the Blue Star United Governnt. I believe they can co up with a rational decision to deal with this crisis.”
A mont of silence ensued in the guild leaders’ chat room, followed swiftly by unanimous replies:
“Boss Ke is right!”
“Indeed, we can’t let the Skru distract us, leveling up and gaining strength is up to us.”
“As long as we are strong, we can overco anything! Let’s urge our guild mbers to level up as per plan.”
“Sounds good.”
“Understood!”
