Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

After all, there are hundreds of millions of people affected by the giant beast race this time, and those who know the existence of giant beasts also account for more than 50% of the global population.

Moreover, this is also the highest number of deaths of ordinary people since the establishment of Umbrella.

Forty million people.

This directly broke the record for the number of deaths caused by Anubis.

However, the influence caused by Anubis is only limited to Egypt, and Egypt has a population of around 100 million, which is still within the control of Umbrella and the UNSC.

But this time, no matter how much you make up excuses, no matter how much you delete videos, pictures, posts and information on the Internet, you can't just let it go.

In the conference room, William sat at the main seat, and the two veterans, Mike and Andre, sat at the first place on the left and right respectively.

And Serena stood behind William, and used the holographic projection device in the conference room to show everyone the news video of Keiko Yuri just now, as well as various heated discussions on the Internet.

The main point of discussion among netizens is why Umbrella has a giant mecha that rivals giant beasts when giant creatures appear and attack humans.

Later, a very small number of civilians who escaped the memory erasure also spoke about the zombies in Manhattan Island and the Middle East at this time, as well as the large number of "hell messengers" that appeared in Egypt, and other topics related to abnormal phenomena.

This kind of heated discussion eventually turned into a heated two-group camp.

One is to question Umbrella and the UNSC military and government, there must be some sort of nasty collusion to deliberately hide the truth from the world and from it study these dangerous creatures leading to crisis situations every time.

The second is that the reason why the government and Umbrella hide the truth is to ensure the stability of ordinary society. After all, once they know that there are zombies, vampires, and monsters in this world, everyone will live in fear.

Of course, there will be such fierce debates in the news media and the Internet. The ultimate reason is that the UNSC military and government, and Umbrella have not come forward to explain the reasons for the giant beast race's attack until now.

It is the deliberate evasion of answers all the time that leads to people's quarrels.

Human curiosity is the most serious existence among all species. The more you can't get the truth, the more you dig and explore desperately. However...

Moreover, when the truth goes against something imagined by human beings, human beings will choose to reject and deny.

The first wave of people believed that the government and Umbrella must have dirty tricks, so the truth must be what they imagined, otherwise it would be false.

So if the existence of abnormal phenomena is really announced, then this wave of people will definitely say false, perfunctory, and it is impossible to wait for all negative words.

And everyone in the meeting room, of course, knows the existence of this phenomenon, which is why there is a meeting to discuss whether to really disclose the truth.

If it is made public, then how to explain it so that the public can accept it, or how to meet the needs of the vast majority of people.

"Mr. Russell." At this time, a Japanese foreign minister sitting very far behind said to William with great respect:

"Our opinion in Japan is that we hope to disclose the fact that abnormal phenomena exist. The Japanese people have suffered the most from this disaster, and they have the right to obtain the truth."

"Hehe." William just smiled at the foreign minister, neither agreeing nor saying no.

"Don't talk about the right to know at this time, it's completely useless."

Before William could speak, Mike, who was still smoking a cigar, directly rejected Japan's point of view.

"That's right." Andre was also at the side, echoing this decades-old friend:

"How much is public? You have to know that there are some abnormal phenomena that rely on human beings to know their existence to reproduce and grow themselves.

If the truth is revealed and this anomaly turns into a major disaster, then who will be held responsible? "

"this…"

The Japanese foreign minister was suddenly at a loss for words, so he shrank his head silently and said nothing more.

"Everyone." Serena, who was standing behind William, said to the officials in an emotionless tone:

"According to our company's calculations, once the facts about the existence of all abnormal phenomena are announced, there is a 70% probability that human society will fall into a period of chaos that lasts for twenty years."

"Twenty years..." After the former US Secretary of Defense learned of this result, his old face frowned, and he looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice:

"The current society has a tendency to riot. If what Mr. Russell's secretary said is true, then social shutdown is inevitable, and we humans will lose 20 years of golden rising period, and even retrogress technology for decades. .”

"really."

"The disadvantages of publicity outweigh the advantages..."

"For abnormal phenomena, it is better for a few to know."

The vast majority of officials and generals also agree not to announce the truth.

"But..." A French official raised his left hand and expressed his confusion to the crowd, which was also the most tangled point for everyone:

"How can we get over this incident? We can't brainwash all eight billion people at once..."

Hearing what the French official said, a group of people also remained silent.

Indeed, no matter what we do, it is impossible to wipe out the memory of all human beings once.

"Everyone."

At this time, William, who had been smiling and silent, suddenly said to everyone:

"It is indeed unrealistic to modify the memories of eight billion people, but we can create a topic to attract everyone's attention."

"A topic?"

"What topic?"

Everyone is even more puzzled.

William just waved his left hand lightly, and Serena, who was standing behind him, also nodded, and manipulated the holographic device to play a new video for everyone.

I saw that the content of this video is nothing else, it is the battlefield video of the Umbrella fleet fighting the Reaper civilization many years ago.

After seeing this video, the former US Secretary of Defense seemed to understand something, raised his right hand and asked William:

"Mr. Russell, do you want to reveal the truth to satisfy the public's curiosity while covering up the truth of the abnormal phenomenon?"

"Almost." William explained with a smile on his face:

"When fighting against the Reaper civilization many years ago, Umbrella already owned fifteen gods, so as to stop the mouths of those trolls who said that they used giant beasts to research technology.

What's more... We can also push the incident of the giant beast attack to the invasion of alien forces. This kind of lie fabrication does not cost much, and the people are very...or extremely willing to accept it.

And we can also add fuel to the flames, saying that human beings are not alone in the universe in the galaxy, and there are even a large number of hostile alien races.

Compared with the existence of abnormal phenomena on the earth itself, human beings are more accepting of the existence of aliens. "
