Chapter 214: 214, Officially Announcing the Existence of Alien Civilizations _1

In the video, Commissioner Zhang didn’t speak immediately, but calmly waited for 5 seconds.

After 5 seconds, he slowly began, “Hello everyone. Let me introduce myself first. I am Zhang Ling, the Political Commissar of the Southeast Military Region. Through this video, I want to announce to the public that our Blue Star is facing threats from an alien civilization.”

Subtitles in five languages, including Chinese, were present under the video, ensuring that everyone could understand what he was saying.

However, upon hearing it, people were left dumbfounded.

Alien civilization?

Aliens?

Is this real or fake?

Whether it was the rich individuals who burnt their Ferraris for amusement, the construction workers who were sweating profusely at the construction site, or the serious gamers, everyone was staring at the screen in front of them in disbelief.

Commissioner Zhang slowed his speech and continued, “The incident happened a month and a half ago. Then, we unexpectedly received news from an alien civilization. The message was written in over a dozen Earth languages. The main content of the messages was focused on one word – War.”

“The civilization that sent us the message calls themselves the Singer Civilization. They acted as the main judge, enabling another civilization – the Skuru Civilization, to invade our Blue Star ”

In the following ten minutes, Commissioner Zhang gave a detailed introduction about the Singer and Skuru Civilizations based on the information he knew.

Furthermore, the video included a great amount of pictures and footage of the Skuru people, Skuru spaceships, and Space Cracks to corroborate the information.

Most of the public initially disbelieved, thinking it must be some sort of joke. They imagined that the video could have been made by some special effects company producing CG.

However, the images were too realistic!

In the middle of the video, the country’s top leaders appeared in the footage, delivering important speeches.

Seeing them, the public finally realised that everything spoken about in the video was real!

If it was a prank video, the creators wouldn’t dare feature these two figures in it unless they were ready to face serious consequences.

“Is this a dream?” Some people pinched their arms hard, other slapped their own faces, each attempting to escape from this nightmarish “dream”.

But their efforts were in vain as they were not in a dream.

Many people began to feel dizzy, their breathing accelerated, their bodies trembling, their palms sweating, and their minds went blank. Some people even found it difficult to stand upright.

After the speeches from the top leaders ended, the video switched back to Commissioner Zhang.

Commissioner Zhang forced out a slight smile and continued, “You don’t have to panic excessively about the alien civilization. The Singer Civilization has given us a full year to prepare and has created a tool for us to win this war.”

A game helmet from “Evolution” appeared in his hand.

“This is the game helmet of “Evolution”. This game is created by the Singer Civilization.”

“I assume most regular internet users have heard the rumour ‘Evolution Level 50 offers a set of school district houses as a reward’, right?”

“This rumour is actually true. Once we reach level 50 in ‘Evolution’, we can materialize our in-game powers into the real world. With this power, we will have the qualifications to defeat the alien civilization!”

Commissioner Zhang paused here for a moment, giving the viewers time to digest this information.

Everyone was stunned.

A lot of people knew about the “Level 50 ‘Evolution’ rewards a set of school district houses” rumour since it had topped the trending list on various platforms for more than a day or two.

Who would have thought, ‘Evolution’ was actually a product of alien beings and even tied to the fate of humanity!

After his pause, Commissioner Zhang continued, “According to the current production capacity of the game helmet, in another month’s time, the helmet can cover all 1.4 billion people nationwide. By then, I assure every Chinese citizen will have their own game helmet. However —”

Everyone felt slightly comforted after hearing that they could also get a game helmet. But Commissioner Zhang’s “however” yet again made everyone’s hearts leap up to their throats.

“But as you know, our China is such a big country, everyone needs food, clothing and shelter. It’s not feasible for everyone to spend 12 hours a day playing the game. Otherwise, we would starve before the aliens even invade.”

“Therefore, I declare the country is in a state of emergency and wartime status. The government will control and adjust the development of the primary and secondary industries, ensure citizen’s rights and livelihood, completely restructure the tertiary industry, and all unemployed individuals can develop in ‘Evolution’. The government will provide subsidies to all individuals ”

“Blue Star Humans have come upon the most crucial historical moment. I hope to unite everyone’s strength to get through this difficult time!”

That marked the temporary end of the video as the screen went black.

But the people who had been watching the video were left helpless.

Everyone just stared blankly at the people around them or at their own screens if there was no one around. For a moment, they didn’t know what to do.

How did the world change so suddenly?!

After some time had passed.

As everyone came to their senses and prepared to say something, Commissioner Zhang’s video screen popped up again, appearing on everyone’s electronic terminal.

“By the way, I have two more points to add.”

Everyone was startled, but they all stared at the screen, their hearts constricted.

“First, the reason we wanted to disclose the existence of aliens to as many people as possible through the video is to prevent people from spreading unverified information and distorted facts.”

“Many media outlets often exaggerate the facts or even fabricate false news for profit, which can cause great social panic.”

“We have created an official website for updates about the alien civilizations called ‘Singer’. It contains the latest, most authoritative, and reliable official news. We hope everyone will be discerning and avoid believing in information from other channels.”

“The second point, please don’t panic. Calm down, trust in the government’s ability, and also believe in the power of the entire population. As long as we unite, we can overcome this crisis!”

“Moreover, we have already achieved partial victory in the war.”

To the right of the video, a picture of Su Yu’s identification suddenly appeared. However, to protect Su Yu’s privacy, the picture was pixelated.

“This young man’s game ID is [Nemesis]. If you’ve played ‘Evolution’, you must have heard this name,” Commissioner Zhang introduced.

“Nemesis?”

“Boss Ke?”

The millions of “Evolution” players were all momentarily stunned. They were more than familiar with this name.

But it was surprising that Boss Ke was mentioned in such an important setting. This was certainly beyond their expectations!
