Chapter 706 433: Global Announcement_2
[Anmi New District Manor]
Broken Blade stared at the TV screen in shock, as if unable to believe his eyes.
After confirming that the endless white stars above the sky had disappeared, he jumped up excitedly: "We won! Lady Countess! Su Mo won!"
The old mercenary, who had been through countless battles, was now like a child, raising his hands high in joy, dancing around to report the good news to Audiana.
Audiana, dressed in pajamas, sat by the window, slowly smoking a pipe.
She might be one of the very few outliers in the world of so many people.
Last night, that doomsday night, some were in pain, some were sad, some were in despair.
And Audiana last night...
Put on a face mask and went to bed early.
Judging from her good mental state, she slept quite well yesterday, without any insomnia at all.
Seeing Broken Blade endlessly shouting about Su Mo's victory, Audiana, as usual, remained indifferent, just smiled and shrugged: "What's so surprising about it, is it really unexpected?"
"Quickly, have McCarthy make breakfast, I'm hungry."
[Street Square]
The sheriffs maintaining order had faces full of joyous smiles. Ivan, relying on his prosthetic body, was bouncing up and down like a human spring, pumping his fists and yelling: "We survived! Chief! Wow!!!"
Sikinkov sternly reprimanded him: "You are representing the authorities right now, mind your image. What's with all the yelling and shouting? Go maintain order and count the injured."
"Oh...okay..." Ivan, after being reprimanded, hunched his head and left with his subordinates in embarrassment.
After all his colleagues went off to handle their duties, Sikinkov could no longer contain the joy on his face. He clenched his fist and made a heavy punch towards the direction of Sky City.
"My brother is awesome!!!"
[Edge Mansion]
Everyone who learned that Su Mo had won was naturally happier than outsiders.
Chu Nanyi cheered and ran wildly across the lawn, sliding on his knees towards Dongdong: "Sister Dong, let's celebrate our leader becoming the savior, give me a hug!"
However, Dongdong was hugging KK, the two little ones smiling joyfully, hopping around, completely oblivious to Chu Nanyi.
Seeing that Dongdong was taken, Chu Nanyi slid on his knees again towards Fenrir: "Boss lady, in commemoration of the friendship between Wolf Pack and Edge that hasn't changed in the face of doomsday, give me a hug!"
Hibell, who was currently elated like a mad girl, was hugging Fenrir tightly around her neck, rubbing her head against her: "The big boss is amazing! The big boss is second in the world! Boss lady is number one in the world!"
Fenrir shrugged at Chu Nanyi, smiling wryly: "Sorry, no space left."
Chu Nanyi then turned and slid towards Future: "Chief Engineer Future! Give me a hug!"
Future was embracing Qi Ling, who was sitting in front of a laptop, her little fist raised high: "We joined hands, who can match us in the field of technology?!"
Chu Nanyi slid three times with no one to hug, awkwardly stood up, touching his nose.
Suddenly, he saw Nuobai standing alone in the corner, and cheerfully smiled: "Nuobai, no one's hugging you in celebration, let's have one?"
Nuobai turned to look at him and blinked.
Then, revealed the ragdoll cat he was holding.
Chu Nanyi: "..."
Finally, he looked at the black Labrador lying under the table, opened his arms and smiled miserably: "Pipi, let's make do together."
Pipi gnawed at the bone toy back and forth, glanced at Chu Nanyi, and ignored him.
...
In the atmosphere of despair the night before the apocalypse, the craziest were undoubtedly those participating in large adult parties.
At the last moment, they completely let loose, indulging in the pleasures of the flesh. The scene was filled with the scent of hormones, laughter, screams, and grunts mixed into a cacophonous sound wave, all moral standards lost their constraints.
However, just as they were wildly venting, the surrounding electronic devices suddenly lit up, and Su Mo's serious face appeared on them.
Accompanied by his declaration of the crisis being averted, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over everyone, instantly extinguishing their fervor.
The scene fell into dead silence, the people who were previously reveling froze in various poses, their eyes filled with confusion and shock, unable to immediately react to the sudden change.
They were all ready to die in a carnival of indulgence, and now you're telling them the apocalypse isn't coming???
"Is...is it true?" a woman in the midst of an orgy murmured, her voice trembling, caught in self-doubt.
The clear image on the screen, the cheers coming from other districts, and the disappearance of the endless white stars in the sky all told them—it's true.
"We won't die!" someone screamed aloud, followed by a wave of cheers.
But the cheering didn't last long because the debaucherous scenes around them were a stark reminder of how ridiculous their previous actions were.
Quickly, people fell into chaos one after another, as these scantily-clad men and women hurried to find their clothes, trying to cover their bodies and faces with their hands.
Some, even more embarrassed, didn't even bother with clothes, their faces flushing red like monkey butts, fleeing the scene in disgrace, keeping their heads down to avoid others' odd gazes, eyes filled with confusion and shame.
The crowd that once partied like the receding tide, the place gradually quieted down, leaving only the neon lights still flickering, reflecting the scattered clothes on the ground, decadent and absurd.
At this moment, people around the world were experiencing different aspects of life, and Su Mo's global broadcast was still ongoing, a line of website addresses appeared at the bottom of the screen.
He said: "Next, I have some words for everyone. Those who want to talk directly to me can visit the website below, the backend will randomly connect a hundred people from different cities."
It's no exaggeration to say that Su Mo is now a savior. Who wouldn't want to have a heartfelt conversation with a savior?
Everyone pulled out their phones and logged into the link displayed onscreen.
It was a temporary live platform set up by Qi Ling, Su Mo's image took up the main position, the lucky ones chosen worldwide were also connected, arranged in grids along the edges of the screen.
In New Moon City, the spots were naturally "predetermined," Qi Ling connected her laptop, with the rest of her companions standing around.
Someone eagerly asked: "Director Su, I want to confirm, the attacks from the Spear of Judgment have completely stopped, not delayed or rescheduled, right?"
Su Mo nodded: "It's completely stopped."
People around the world erupted in even louder cheers.
Everyone was initially worried they might have misunderstood Su Mo's meaning, thinking the strikes from the Spear of Judgment may have just been rescheduled.
Now that they heard it had completely stopped, the weight in everyone's hearts finally dropped.
Another person eagerly asked: "How did you do it? Didn't the Sky City announcement say the strike program couldn't be changed or stopped?"
Su Mo: "It's complex to explain from the start. Let me put it this way, I have control over something called the 'Black Extinction Virus', you don't need to know its origins, just that it's the most powerful known electronic virus, capable of paralyzing all equipment, including the control terminals of the Spear of Judgment."
The crowd gasped in shock, wondering just how powerful that so-called "Black Extinction Virus" was.
Someone hurriedly asked: "Director Su, I'm a software expert with some knowledge in the field of electronic viruses. I have a very important question."
"Since the Black Extinction Virus can halt the Spear of Judgment's launch, can it further completely destroy its program structure, even force it to self-destruct?"
Su Mo: "Yes, it can."
The software expert quickly said: "Then please destroy it quickly! This doomsday weapon hovering over us is terrifying! Only by completely destroying it can everyone live on in peace!"
Su Mo had answered quickly until now, but faced with this question, he fell silent.
No one knows how long it was before those eyes revealed a complex emotion that no one could understand, deep as if without focus.
He slowly began to speak, and his next answer instantly froze the atmosphere:
"I will not destroy the Spear of Judgment."
