After all, the number of people affected by the behemoth race this time is hundreds of millions, and those who know the existence of behemoths also account for more than 50% of the global population.

And this is also the highest death toll among ordinary people since Umbrella was founded.

Forty million people.

This directly broke the record of deaths caused by Anubis.

However, the impact of Anubis is confined to Egypt, and the Egyptian population is around 100 million, which is still within the control of Umbrella and the UNSC.

But this time, no matter how you make up excuses, no matter how you delete videos, pictures, posts, and information on the Internet, you can't just go over there.

In the conference room, William sat in the main seat, and Mike and Andre, the two veterans, sat in the first place on the left and right.

Serena was standing behind William, using the holographic projection device in the conference room, to broadcast the news video of the Yuli Keiko just now and various heated discussions on the Internet.

The main point of discussion among netizens is why when giant creatures appear and attack humans, Umbrella has giant mechas that rival the giant beasts.

Then there were a handful of civilians who escaped amnestics. At this time, they also mentioned the zombies in Manhattan and the Middle East, as well as the large number of "hell messengers" in Egypt, and other topics related to abnormal phenomena.

This intense discussion eventually transformed into an intense two camps.

One is to question Umbrella and the UNSC military and government, there must be some kind of dirty collusion, deliberately concealing the truth from the world, and studying these dangerous creatures from it, leading to crisis situations every time.

The second is that the reason why the government and Umbrella conceal the truth is to ensure the stability of ordinary society. After all, once they know that there are zombies, vampires, and monsters in this world, everyone will be frightened.

Of course, the news media and the Internet will have such fierce disputes. After all, the reason is that the UNSC military and government, and Umbrella have not come forward to explain the cause of the monster race attack until now.

It is the deliberate avoidance of answers that has led to people's quarrels.

Human curiosity is the most serious existence in all species. The less the truth is, the more desperately to dig and explore, but...

Moreover, when the truth goes against something humans have imagined, humans will choose to refuse and deny.

The first wave of people believe that the government and Umbrella must have nasty activities, then the truth must be what they imagined, otherwise it is false.

Therefore, if the existence of anomalous phenomena is really announced, then this wave of people will definitely say false, perfunctory, and it is impossible to wait for all negative words.

Of course, everyone in the conference room knows the existence of this phenomenon. This is why they have to meet to discuss whether they really want to disclose the truth.

If it is public, then how can it be explained to make it acceptable to the public, or how to meet the needs of the vast majority of people.

"Mr. Russell." At this moment, a Japanese Foreign Minister sitting very back said to William very respectfully:

"Our Japanese opinion is that we hope to disclose the fact that the abnormal phenomenon exists. The Japanese people have suffered the most in this disaster, and they have the right to obtain the truth."

"Haha." William just smiled at the foreign minister, without saying yes or no.

"Don't talk about the right to know at this time, it's totally useless."

Mike, who was still smoking a cigar without waiting for William to speak, bluntly rejected the Japanese view.

"That's right." Andre was also beside him, echoing this damaging friend for decades:

"How much is public? You have to know that some anomalous phenomena depend on human beings to learn of their existence to multiply and strengthen themselves.

If the truth is disclosed and this anomaly is allowed to turn into a major disaster, then who will be held responsible?"

"This…"

The Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs was a little confused at once, and had to shrink his head silently and stop saying anything.

"Everyone." Serena, who was standing behind William at this time, said to the officials in a non-emotional tone:

"According to our company's calculations, once the facts that all abnormal phenomena exist are announced, there is a 70% probability that human society will fall into a period of chaos for up to 20 years."

"Twenty years..." After the former U.S. Secretary of Defense learned of this result, his old face frowned, and he looked at everyone and said solemnly:

"There is already a trend of riots in society. If it is true according to Mr. Russell’s secretary, then social shutdown is inevitable, and we humans will also lose the golden age of 20 years, and even regress decades of technology. ."

"indeed."

"Being public does more harm than good..."

"Anomalies, it's better to use a few that you know."

The vast majority of officials and generals also agreed not to disclose the truth.

"But..." A French official raised his left hand and told everyone his confusion, which was the point that everyone struggled the most:

"How should we go through this incident? We can't brainwash all eight billion people at once..."

Upon hearing the French official's words, a group of people also remained silent.

Indeed, no matter how it is done, it is impossible to amnestics all human beings.

"Everyone."

At this moment, William, who had been smiling and silent, suddenly spoke to everyone:

"It is indeed somewhat unrealistic to modify the memories of eight billion people, but we can create a topic to attract everyone's attention."

"A topic?"

"What topic?"

Everyone is even more confused.

William just flicked his left hand, and Serena, who was standing behind him, also nodded, and manipulated the holographic device to play a new video for everyone.

I saw that the content of this video was nothing else, it was the battlefield video of the Umbrella fleet when it was at war with the Reaper civilization many years ago.

After seeing this video, the former US Secretary of Defense seemed to understand something and raised his right hand to ask William:

"Mr. Russell, do you want to conceal the truth of the anomaly while satisfying the curiosity of the public by publishing a truth?"

"Almost." William explained with a smile on his face:

"Years ago, when he was fighting the Reaper civilization, Umbrella already possessed fifteen divine bodies to block the mouths of those who said they used the giant beast to research technology.

What's more... We can also push this behemoth attack to the invasion of alien forces. This kind of lies does not cost much to fabricate, and the people are also very...or extremely willing to accept it.

And we can also add to the flames, saying that human beings are not alone in the galaxy in the universe, and there are even a large number of hostile alien races.

Compared with the existence of abnormal phenomena on the earth itself, human beings are more able to accept the existence of aliens."
