Chapter 272 - 272 United
272 United
The reason why the news broadcast interviewed Lu Beifeng was mainly that the higher-ups wanted to establish a hero idol among the bloodline metahumans.
One of the reasons why he chose Lu Beifeng was because of his good looks and special awakened bloodline.
Nagas, sea demons, and mermaids were legendary creatures with human bodies and fish tails that everyone was familiar with.
Now that it had really appeared, the shock and amazement it brought was something that other bloodline metahumans could not compare to.
Unless bloodline metahumans like dragons and phoenixes appeared.
Of course, any other member of the Lu family could achieve such an effect. However, the country not only wanted to shock the public, but also to highlight this ‘hero’ image.
The other bloodline metahumans of the Lu family were currently at home and had no intention of fighting with the heretics for the time being.
However, under the coaxing and pestering of the heretic bureau and the local police station, Lu Beilin and Lu Beichen agreed to appease the crowd.
Just like the riot caused by the metahumans at the mall, their main role was to appease the crowd and reveal the news of the spiritual energy recovery and bloodline metahumans.
Currently, Lu Beifeng was the only one in the Lu family who had not only graduated from the military academy, but his awakened bloodline also carried powerful combat strength. He was practically invincible in the sea.
The interview in the news was also specially arranged for Lu Beifeng to go on a mission. Not only did the country want the people to understand the dangers in the current world, but it also wanted to give them a strong tranquilizer, which was their bloodline awakened warriors.
They were using their actions to tell the public that even in the face of such a powerful enemy, the country’s heroes would always stand at the frontline to protect everyone’s safety.
This decision was clearly correct. After watching the live-stream of the monster-like heretics and the battle between Lu Beifeng and the heretic, more than 80% of the people were not so resistant to bloodline metahumans. In fact, they even became his fans.
That momentum was much fiercer than celebrities in the entertainment industry. Regardless of gender or age, everyone liked the Naga who fought in the sea to protect their home.
A small number of people maintained a nonchalant attitude, while others were worried that the bloodline metahumans were too powerful. If bloodline metahumans committed crimes, wouldn’t the world be in danger?
[What are you all so happy about? The bloodline metahumans are so powerful. If a criminal has also awakened his bloodline, we will be in danger.]
[Someone finally mentioned this. Actually, I also want to say, are those bloodline metahumans still the same as us? Are these people with special abilities really safe for us in the future?]
[Hehe… You make it sound like there were no criminals before the appearance of the bloodline metahumans.]
[Didn’t you see the heretic in the video? If there were no bloodline metahumans, our world would be gone, right? Compared to those criminals with a low probability, heretics are clearly more dangerous, okay?]
[I believe that the government will definitely settle the relationship between ordinary people and bloodline metahumans. Yunzhou has never disappointed us.]
[Heh, you’ll only know what regret is when those bloodline metahumans kill their way to your house.]
Regarding what a small number of people were worried about, this was already under the control of the officials. Soon, the officials released a series of measures.
The first was the establishment of a school for ‘ability users’. The country called for those who had awakened their bloodlines to go to the local government hall to check their awakened bloodlines and perfect their identity information. Then, the system would issue a notice for them to report to the school, regardless of age.
The second was a series of punitive measures for bloodline metahumans perpetrators. Furthermore, the country would quickly establish a special working group composed of bloodline metahumans. They would track and capture such bloodline metahumans and severely punish them. In front of the country’s laws, no matter if it was ordinary people or bloodline metahumans with special abilities, they would not be tolerated.
…
When the government announced this series of powerful measures, everyone was relieved.
[The government slayed! I’m relieved to see this series of measures.]
[I was a little worried before, but I’m not so worried anymore.]
[I believe in Yunzhou. Everything will develop in a good direction.]
[I have a friend studying in Piaoliang. I heard that it’s completely chaotic there now, but everything in Yunzhou is going on in an orderly manner. It can be seen that the country has put in a lot of effort for this. I’m grateful to my parents for giving birth to me in Yunzhou.]
[Ah? Speaking of which, I haven’t heard any news about foreigners recently. Did something happen overseas? Why is it so calm here without any news?]
Of course, something had happened. The spiritual energy recovery was not only in the country of Yunzhou, but also globally.
Although the country of Piaoliang often talked about paying attention to people, the crime rate there was actually the highest. There were all kinds of underground experiments in the dark.
The first batch of people to awaken under the influence of the spiritual energy recovery had been secretly captured for human experiments. As for those who had not been captured, they did not dare to stand up and help when they saw the fate of those ‘seniors’.
This caused many Western countries to lose many people when the heretic arrived.
What’s more, the government had yet to arrange a series of policy measures after the spiritual energy recovery, causing the people to start to be dissatisfied. After bloodline metahumans gradually appeared, the conflict between the two became even greater.
Many governments in the West were overwrought. Fights and crimes could happen at any time.
Yunzhou had long known about the situation in the Western countries. However, before the news of the spiritual energy recovery was announced, they did not let it spread to their country’s Internet, lest it cause panic and be used by some people with ulterior motives.
Now that the country had methodically appeased the masses, it was only after everyone had gradually accepted it after a few days that the chaos in the Western countries spread.
And then…
[Oh my god, I’m dumbfounded. Is it already so chaotic overseas? My family and I actually don’t feel anything at all.]
[Are we really living in the same world? Why do I feel like we’re cut apart?]
[It’s too tragic. Those heretics are too terrifying. When I saw the data on the number of casualties overseas, I suddenly felt the protection of the country. Thank you, Yunzhou!]
[Our safety is ensured by the soldiers and those bloodline metahumans. I suddenly feel a little ashamed that I didn’t achieve anything. If I awaken my bloodline, I suddenly want to fight alongside them and protect this paradise.]
[There’s really no harm without comparison. Thank you, heroes on the front line. Thank you, Yunzhou.]
At this moment, the people of Yunzhou were especially united.
