How Am I Still Alive?

The summer of 2005 was destined to be listed as an important turning point in this world.

This year, the destruction of the great country Auschwitz also showed all mankind the threats that the world is facing. Just a few years ago, even in enlightened countries, a semi-open and semi-concealed attitude was still adopted towards supernatural powers and external threats.

I don't care if you spread it privately, and even allow the existence of various small and medium-sized communication societies, but if the official TV and radio broadcast it for propaganda, it is prohibited.

This kind of self-contradictory attitude of pretending to be blind and self-contradictory is also the hesitant mentality of the entire human society towards the supernatural.

".The situation should not deteriorate so quickly. At least there are still ten years."

"It was like this five years ago. Maybe we can still maintain it in ten years."

When the situation deteriorates, humans will subconsciously reject the possibility of further deterioration.

Conservatism is not the patent of a certain country, but the instinct of people to refuse to face the worst future. Even if many people know that everything will be worse, when the countdown is not clear, most people will not reveal that layer of window paper.

"Perhaps, everything won't deteriorate to that extent during my term/lifetime."

From this, we can see how difficult it is to make a decision like the Nirvana Plan that breaks all the old order, and how rare it is in this era.

In the past, conservatives always dominated the mainstream because they could maintain the status quo, and the stable benefits brought by "order" were their greatest voice.

"If it is fully announced, it will bring social unrest. What will happen if the crime rate soars and the economy collapses?"

"The chance of becoming a supernatural person is too low. Social fairness will be gone. When equality for all becomes a joke, who knows what will happen?"

"Are you sure that human reason is reliable? Are you sure that those people will not take the initiative to join the foreign evil gods after learning the truth?"

Too many reasons, too many excuses, and what they said is true.

As a result, even today, five or six years after the East Country borrowed its institutional advantages to forcibly promote the Nirvana Plan, there are still a large number of countries that still pretend to be peaceful. Even though most of the people have known it clearly, they still pretend that it didn't happen. They don't want their lives to be changed.

The increasing number of supernatural crimes, evil god sacrifices, capital flight, and social unrest seem to prove how much uncertainty "fully disclosing the supernatural" will bring. The managers of capital and society probably hate turmoil and uncertainty the most.

Do they know that this is a forced cover-up? One day, everything will be unable to be covered up, and the old order will collapse due to deception and concealment.

They are just betting, betting on delaying as much as possible, betting that the bomb will not explode during their term.

"They lost the bet. Now most countries, only those with the Internet, have the top ten hot searches of supernatural, Os battlefield, and foreign invaders. And at least half of the countries have the top three hot searches of "failed to counterattack" or "XX quasi-god died in battle". Uh, Citibank's top three are "Eastern Country dragged the counterattack", "Eastern Country stole Citibank's shipbuilding technology", and "Eastern Country's power expanded in Southeast Asia, suspected to be the biggest beneficiary of the war."

Seeing that Citibank is always in the same spirit regardless of the timeline, Lu Ping'an is inexplicably relieved.

Dongguo is the first country to fully lift the ban on supernatural knowledge, but it is able to maintain stability in the tide, relying more on "tradition".

The Nirvana Plan is a bet, but it seems to have won. A large number of strategic resources, strong people, and resources from the outside world have been incorporated into the Dongguo system. The development in just five or six years is better than the past thirty years. Of course, the hidden dangers brought by it are also greater than the past thirty years.

But this time, when the plane war broke out directly on the mainland without anyone's plan, it directly dealt a heavy blow to the "conservatives" and "secret keepers" of various countries. Their conservatism and secret keeping proved to be a kind of stupidity, and they lost all their chips.

Therefore, Citibank on the other side of the sea can only use hysterical and forced news manipulation to force the blame. Due to some reasons that everyone understands, their X series of medicines were sold at the lowest price of one million Citibank coins. Various pharmaceutical companies and arms companies have made a fortune and intend to make it a long-term business.

This half-hidden state, this advertising strategy of using celebrities to promote "superman medicine", makes them quite satisfied with the profit return rate.

But reality will never be distorted by how much you can earn. Even if you can deceive some people temporarily, the pain of being bitten back by lies is doubled.

Citibank has creatively turned the supernatural profession into a business. The big forces that control resources and development space have established an order. They can really arrange the lives of supernatural people clearly, such as the entertainment industry, mercenaries, company bodyguards, etc. In short, you must choose a force to join.

Those businesses around "superheroes" have indeed made a lot of money and sold a lot, but they have also become advertisements for "promoting supernatural".

As for real capitalists, they never work hard to provide the best quality products. If the goods in their hands are sold at the highest price possible, how to turn short-term business into long-term transactions that the audience cannot leave, the greatest benefit is their only pursuit.

So, how to do it? It's very simple and straightforward, monopolize, make good distinctions, and try to increase the unit price among the consumers.

Raise the entry threshold, selling one may make more money than selling a thousand, so just sell one.

Of course, there are similar black markets, but the awakening rate is about 30% and the inefficiency is about 10%. Who is willing to try?

East Country's X potion has also been a thing in recent years, but it has actually become a best-seller on the black market, but the quantity is quite limited. After those goods came across the sea, the black market's garbage potion has somehow increased to a 50% success rate.

And now, with the heavy hammer of foreign invaders, order has begun to collapse.

"The front line of the battlefield cannot lie."

Especially among the quasi-gods who died in the war, there are also "American heroes" who are wildly promoted by the media and companies. He was called "Little Superman" and became "Dead Superman", and the photos of his mutilated body with eyes open in death directly became a wildly spread network virus.

After the crazy spread of "fear" and "panic", the next thing is the anger from the bottom of the heart. When the first arms store selling X potion was looted, it didn't even make the news.

Meanwhile, Dongguo's X-drug has long been on the right track. Anyone can buy it at a reasonable price as long as they provide proof of identity and use it on the spot. With the introduction of the latest technology, its price has even dropped to several thousand yuan.

Of course, the actual cost exceeds 30,000 yuan, but the government has subsidized it. After the Nirvana Plan, Dongguo officials are eager for more extraordinary people to be born.

The Sakurajima people who were hit by the "black ship" in the "New Black Ship Incident" used a relatively appropriate metaphor.

The whole world was awakened by the "black ship" in this foreign land.

On the other hand, in the war of public opinion, Citibank's practice of passing the buck did not get a bargain. A large amount of evidence was released at the same time. When the "Nirvana Plan" was not called this name, Dongguo had a resolution to pull all countries together, but it was rejected every time.

The two sides continued to pass the buck to each other, at least occupying the top of the public opinion war in their own country, just like before. But everyone knows that the news is deceiving themselves, and the times can't go back.

"The era of universal transcendence may be just around the corner."

This time, the East Country has taken the lead, and Lu Ping'an's "New Forest" seems destined to become an important strategic fulcrum.
