Chapter 1351 - 1350: Has Hua Country’s Leadership Already Collaborated with Mysterious Powers?
When Lu Zheng and others, carefree, started to eat hot pot and go to karaoke, rumors were rampantly spreading online and within secret departments of various countries, or dark currents were surging.
[Mianbei industry hit by extreme weather lightning strikes, heavy casualties among company employees]
[Some country’s border affected, refusing refugees entry, danger of humanitarian disaster]
[Some country’s government experiments with weather weapons, Southeast Asian countries are furious but dare not condemn]
[Some country and Mianguo form a joint investigation team]
[Lighthouse Country Secretary of State writes to Mianguo, willing to participate in the investigation and provide humanitarian aid]
[National terrorism rampant, casting shadows over Southeast Asian countries]
[Weather weapons may become the main players in future wars]
All sorts of foreign news media almost directly pinned this matter on a country they both hate and fear, regardless of how unreasonable the weather weapon is.
Thus, foreign internet once again sparked a frenzy of denouncing a certain Eastern Great Power.
Of course, some major Western media focus on science, but all kinds of small media naturally say whatever is shocking.
[Unveiling the world of the Extraordinary]
[Starting with Pharaoh Country’s relics, talking about the other side of this world]
[Superpower Users are about to take the stage, revealing the truth of the Lizard People]
[Sun God Apollo appears in North America, Thunder God Thor appears in East Asia]
[Is it Olympus’ Zeus, is it Nordic Royal Court’s Thor, or indigenous deities of Hua Country]
[The world is about to enter the era of gods]
Compared to weather weapons, obviously, Superpower Users and deities, as well as conspiracy theories, are more likely to pique the interest of ordinary people.
This is also what they secretly wish, maybe a shortcut to surpass those super aristocrats.
Batman and Iron Man, they surely have no chance, but The Flash and Spider-Man, they still have hope!
"Thunder God Thor! Eternal God!"
"Hail Asgard!"
"Should I find a spider and let it bite me?"
"Why don’t you get some chemical reagents and find a mountaintop to get struck by lightning?"
"I don’t want to die."
"If a deity took notice of me, that would be great; my butt is especially perky."
"Why did this happen in Southeast Asia? Could Hua Country and Mianguo’s primitive lands also have deities?"
"Some minor natives, with Zeus present, a lightning bolt could strike them dead."
"Lighthouse Country has them too, but whether it’s Archangel Gabriel or Sun God Apollo, they only slay the sinners."
"Damn it, if I had a job, I wouldn’t go rob a supermarket!"
...
While overseas news is blaming Hua Country, the internet is in chaos, meanwhile, elites in secret departments of various governments are all looking very grave.
Because they know very well...
"Hua Country definitely does not possess such technology, even if we concede, even if they have weather weapons, they couldn’t achieve this level!"
"Besides... the Los Angeles incident two years ago wasn’t caused by our weather weapon!"
In a meeting room in Lighthouse Country, a group of people with gloomy expressions sat together.
"The Los Angeles incident has been under secret investigation for two years, the witness testimonies alone have filled two rooms!"
"Yet, we still have no progress!"
"The only certainty is that it wasn’t caused by any private laboratory’s gene weapons through prison experiments."
"And those sects, the so-called Holy Artifacts they brought out were all imported from a small town in Hua Country, or even voluntarily mailed from over there, damn it!"
"Now, the tendency toward aliens or Superpower Users is increasingly rising."
"Indeed, but whether it’s alien technology or Superpower Users, we’ve almost conducted a carpet search throughout California and nationwide, but found nothing."
"If they were so easily found, how could they have remained hidden till now?"
"We don’t even know why he suddenly exposed himself at the time, even if he encountered threats, couldn’t he just kill the immediate threat?"
"Maybe he couldn’t conceal it in public, so he blew it up to hide his presence instead."
"It’s just one possibility, there are many others, we have no evidence."
"Nonsense, if we had evidence, we probably would have found the person."
"Besides the Los Angeles mass spontaneous combustion event and this Mianbei lightning killing incident, the incident most similar to the Los Angeles situation was the Pharaoh Country museum terror night incident."
"What’s the situation there now?"
"Nothing special, no further anomalies with Pharaoh Country museum relics."
"Objects are not sentient, perhaps the power can only be effective once, or maybe... there were other ’people’ present at the time!"
"It’s not the Hypnotist, there is no Hypnotist in the world with such power, not even Edward."
"No hallucinogenic substance residues found in the bodies of those mercenaries and thieves."
"Either it’s high-tech virtual reality, or... Extraordinary Power!"
"They know these relics pose no danger anymore, so no matter how we probe, the situation hasn’t recurred."
"Besides Los Angeles and Pharaoh Country, the only other unexplained events happened in the Mianbei region."
"Besides this lightning killing incident, what else?"
"Powder merchant extermination stele incident."
"Years ago, a team dressed as special forces killed many powder merchants and local armed forces in Mianbei, then placed a stele at one powder merchant’s entrance, with a line in Chinese."
"Those importing powder into Hua, those killing officers, kill!"
"The stele has a power to shake one’s heart, if the viewer’s will is not firm, they will feel their eyes sting, shocked intensely."
"This was the earliest incident, we initially thought the stele was actually a psychological painting crafted by psychologists.
Later, many psychologists went to study but gained nothing, even many suddenly seeing the stele felt the same.
Though it was left unresolved, this mysterious event has been recorded ever since."
"Unexpectedly, years later, the lightning killing incident happened there again."
"North America... North Africa... East Asia..."
"Do you think these incidents across three regions are related? Could it be the same ’person’ causing them?"
Everyone exchanged glances.
"Based on purpose, they seem somewhat similar, all were punitive, um, even directly killing those committing evil."
"If you put it that way, it seems like... a superhero?"
"If we could contact them, it would be great. We are the homeland of superheroes, representing democracy and justice’s lighthouse."
"Wait!"
"What’s wrong?"
"I suddenly thought of something!"
"What thing?"
"We’ve researched killings and destructive events, but neglected one incredible constructive event."
This remark changed the faces of everyone present.
"Red Chess River project!"
"Although Hua Country’s explanations for this project are comprehensive, along with confidential project data and machinery, we’ve lost many personnel in our efforts to understand the specifics, yet gained some information."
"But think carefully, such a massive project, even with Hua Country’s power, couldn’t be secretly completed so easily and swiftly."
"If, if all this is fake, the truth is alien technology or Extraordinary Power, then hasn’t Hua Country’s upper echelon reached some kind of collaboration with a certain power?"
"Hiss—"
