Chapter 168: Chapters 166, 167 The Chaos Begins (Additional Chapters 9, 10 for Zixuan Xian Emperor) Chapter 168: Chapters 166, 167 The Chaos Begins (Additional Chapters 9, 10 for Zixuan Xian Emperor) Globally, high-ranking officials were holding ergency etings, even Shen Zhou had convened a eting.
The incident where the aircraft carrier fleet was sunk by the Zerg had too significant an impact, proving that humanity’s most advanced military weapons were still inadequate against the Zerg!
It also announced that the oceans were no longer territories where human ships could navigate unimpeded. The entire world needed to explore safer routes anew!
Although no one wanted to make this news public, it could not be concealed, and so rumors had already started to spread.
To respond to this matter, Bai ying held a press conference.
Bai ying announced, “We explored the Mariana Trench and made so discoveries. At the sa ti, we lost a few ships.”
“The Zerg indeed have the capability to threaten humanity, so we have decided, from this mont, that Bai ying is entering a state of ergency!”
“We will explore all surrounding waters and conduct large-scale exterminations of mutant creatures! A budget of over a trillion US Dollars is being approved!”
They did not ntion that the sunken fleet was an aircraft carrier fleet, nor did they speak of the Deep Sea Giant Beast withstanding hydrogen bombs!
*Because they knew very well that if this incident was announced now, the public would feel not just fear, but also despair!*
*By then, forget organizing defenses, even internally, it would descend into chaos!*
In other regions, there was also an unspoken consensus to maintain silence on this matter.
*Even He Xingzhou did not deliberately expose the truth, as the current state already made everyone feel a strong sense of crisis, and if the pressure was too great, it would crush so people!*
Even so, the news of Bai ying’s fleet losing to the Zerg still shook the world!
On international social dia, netizens speculated:
“Our ships actually suffered losses? The Zerg can destroy warships?”
“That’s terrifying, rumor has it even an aircraft carrier was sunk by the Zerg!”
“How is that possible? An aircraft carrier being sunk? Aircraft carriers have nuclear missiles and fighter jet fleets!”
“Regardless, these guys have already threatened us, they must be exterminated!”
“A world crisis has truly arrived!” The entire international stock market was deeply in the red.
On that day, almost every stock market globally experienced a ltdown, halting trading!
“The fleet was sunk!” In his residence, the biologist Barry, with his head bandaged, saw the news.
“Dad, did you see the news? You were right, the Zerg really can threaten humanity! They slandered you!” A phone call ca in from Barry’s daughter, Mapple, who was already in her forties, married, with two sons.
Barry’s wife had passed away early, and his daughter and two grandsons were among his few relatives. Previously, to avoid involving his daughter in his matters, he rarely contacted Mapple.
Mapple, enthusiastic, said, “They were unfair to you, you should co back and restore your reputation! Lead us in resisting the Zerg!”
“No, it’s useless now!” Barry, his spirit low, sighed, “It’s already too late!”
“Three years ago, I asked them to prepare, no one listened, all said I was crazy!”
“Now they finally realize the Zerg can threaten humanity! But it’s too late, there’s no ti!”
“Do you know? They only ntioned the destruction of ships, I suspect, they must have used nuclear weapons, yet still, they did not defeat the Zerg!”
“Human technology cannot triumph over the Zerg! They evolve faster, Mapple, listen to , quickly find a way to seek refuge…”
“Dad, you’re too pessimistic!” Mapple said, “They’re still in the ocean, we still have to continue living.”
“But I’m planning to join the protest marches, demanding asures against the Zerg!”
“Listen to , don’t go, it’s too chaotic now!” Barry advised.
“Alright, Dad, take care of yourself, we’re preparing survival supplies now.” Mapple hung up the phone.
