Chapter 717: Chapter 533: When It Comes to Scheming, You’re the Master!

When Lin Feng uttered the words "give a response," after initial surprise, the others agreed almost without hesitation, devoid of fear or worry.

Besides the confidence granted by strength and their absolute trust in Lin Feng, it was because their hearts were too repressed and angry.

This anger needed a way to be vented.

When the Avengers Alliance was established, as they sealed the Jade Seal Spatial Gate, still immersed in emotions of joy and pride, the Alien Race immediately gave them a profound lesson with a massacre.

Tianxing City, and this time Shangjing being attacked, the Alien Race repeatedly used the blood of masses of civilians as revenge, plunging Hua Country into an atmosphere of chaos and fear.

On the virtual internet, millions of netizens posted, with ninety-nine percent of the post content and comments carrying negative emotions and pessimism about future circumstances.

There was also dissatisfaction with the world government.

It’s not that netizens are too fragile, but rather that reality is exceedingly cruel.

When the World Alliance decided to close 2,000 space gates worldwide, it meant over a billion people would be displaced, homeless.

The wilds are dangerous.

Even a Ninth Grade expert may not safely traverse two base cities.

Lin Feng’s original dream was to leave the slums and buy a three-bedroom apartment in the Inner City.

For people in the slums, entering the Inner City is a symbol of a new life.

And for the citizens of the satellite city, their dreams are actually simpler, as ninety-nine percent of them strive all their lives to enter the base city.

No matter if it’s the filthy and chaotic slums, it doesn’t matter.

Becoming a base city resident is actually straightforward, as long as one enters the base city, they automatically become an official resident.

At first glance, it seems like there are no requirements, but it’s actually the hardest condition.

Because even a King Level expert might fall in the wilds, let alone an ordinary person.

And the difficulty of maneuvering through multiple space gates to enter the base city is not lower than traversing the wild.

One entry to the base city costs over five million.

Sometimes money isn’t enough; connections are also needed.

How many people can afford it?

Even if an individual can afford it, what about a family?

Who could abandon their parents and family to go alone to a strange city?

Hence, people in the satellite city rarely leave their hometowns from birth to old age.

They try every means to enter the base city.

Many children work hard in their studies with this goal in mind; although hope is slim, it’s still hope.

Now, as people find the base city also unsafe.

Even Shangjing has suffered attacks.

This is a fatal blow to people.

A seemingly simple decision by the World Alliance to close two thousand space gates, even with the most conservative estimation, would lead to over ten percent of the people losing their lives during this mass migration.

In other words, hundreds of millions will die.

And this is the most conservative estimate.

Even two or three hundred million is not impossible, not an exaggeration.

When disaster might appear at one’s side anytime, when death could descend at any moment, how many can remain indifferent, can peacefully work and raise families?

How many families’ lifetime efforts, even generations, are just for a house.

Just to have a place to live.

When all this is easily destroyed, losing courage and hope and choosing to lie flat becomes a very normal thing.

It’s not lacking the courage to face disaster, but reality is excessively cruel.

Everyone knows that one day, the Divine Martial Continent will launch a large-scale invasion.

If that day comes, what are the odds of humanity’s victory?

Probably less than ten percent!

Facing the Divine Martial Continent, the World Alliance has always aimed for defense, meaning passively taking hits, even closing two thousand space gates is defense, isn’t it?

Three days after the press conference ended, the so-called active offensive had yet to begin, Shangjing was already dealt a tough lesson.

In the recent twenty years, the frequency of space gate appearances has accelerated, disasters happen every day, just the government avoids panic by not reporting or reporting simply.

Actually, even elementary school students understand, they’re not safe.

The Glory Alliance was organized to divert attention, yet now, in severe circumstances, with the Glory Alliance in chaos, people don’t even have a way to self-comfort.

The World Alliance quickly came up with a King Becoming plan, but before it began, alien reprisal connections came repeatedly.

For the future, most people hold a pessimistic attitude.

Optimists are not truly optimistic; more often, it’s just self-comforting, deceiving themselves.

"What should we do?"

Ye Xing looked at Lin Feng and asked.

The others also looked at Lin Feng.

At this time, whether to boost the nation’s confidence or for revenge, simply as an eye for an eye, venting their inner anger, they needed to respond.

"I don’t know either."

Facing everyone’s gaze, Lin Feng responded with a slight wry smile.

Everyone was stunned, initially thinking Lin Feng had figured everything out, and they just needed to act, unexpectedly Lin Feng hadn’t thought it through either.

"You say it yet you don’t know?"

Yu Qiao rolled his eyes directly, with an expression of displeasure.

If it weren’t for Lin Feng’s strong ability, easily overpowering him, he would want to curse.

The others were equally speechless.

"What I said was to give a response, but I also hadn’t figured out how to respond! We can’t just massacre like them to vent, the Alien Race forces don’t care about civilian lives." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Lin Feng said helplessly.

"True, simple revenge is meaningless."

Yun Tianqi nodded in agreement.

If it’s merely simple revenge, it would be much easier.

You kill one of mine, I kill two of yours.

Inside the eight-star and nine-star space gates, not claiming anything else, the Avengers Alliance indeed has the power to massacre some cities.

But the Alien Race’s Five Great Forces disregard civilian lives.

And if they truly had to massacre, they might not be able to bring themselves to do it.

Then you come and go, entering a vicious cycle, those truly harmed are still ordinary people.

"How about killing the alien race’s geniuses, those are valuable."

Yu Qiao suggested.

"I think it’s doable, kill a few more, and the Alien Race will surely feel the pain."

Zhan Tianyu agreed.

"We’re all Ninth Grade level in strength now, where do we find so many geniuses to kill? Besides, the alien race geniuses won’t just wait around to be killed, will they?"

Yang Ningbing retorted, with one sentence shattering their fantasy.

Indeed!

They’re not who they once were, Ninth Grade strength can’t enter below eight-star Kong Family Gate.

Entering an eight-star level space gate already means being considered strong.

Where’s the genius now?

Now there’s no ten-star level space gate appearing.

And the alien race is already somewhat aware of their strength, there won’t be such golden opportunities as before.

One by one seemingly feasible suggestions, ultimately all being rejected.

After thinking for a long time, still not coming up with a good solution.

Two hours of deliberation passed, as everyone was about to disperse, Lin Feng suddenly had an idea.

"Brother Feng, do you have a plan?"

Yun Kai was the first to notice Lin Feng’s anomaly.

The others paused their steps as well, all looking at Lin Feng, though not holding too much hope.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said: "Since we can’t figure it out, why not seek the opinions of netizens?"

"This, seems feasible."

Everyone exchanged glances, feeling an enlightening, bright idea.

The purpose of their revenge was to divert people’s attention, alleviate negative fear emotions, so they aren’t overly pessimistic about the future.

"Let the target audience, or rather, victims, come up with a vent method, enables them to participate, diverts their attention, and some of the collected suggestions could be truly remarkable, truly remarkable!"

Yu Qiao changed his previous displeasure, looked at Lin Feng with admiration, and said:

"No wonder you’re the man who can twist Ju Xing around, when it comes to cunning, it’s gotta be you!"
