What was to come would come. No matter how much effort Old Bao and the others had put in to cover it up, it was useless at this juncture. This time, the exposure of the 9th Military District was no longer just a matter of the media and netizens making groundless accusations. It was a joint effort between some forces in the underworld and some political forces to divide the benefits.
Guo Songxiang had been staying nearby. Although he had concealed himself so well that Qin Lang did not notice his specific whereabouts, based on the time when Guo Songxiang and Fang Hongyue met, Qin Lang was sure that Guo Songxiang had been staying near the base.
The reason why Guo Songxiang stayed here was definitely not just to seek revenge on Qin Lang. In fact, the hatred between him and Qin Lang couldn't be considered as deep. Although Qin Lang had ruined some of Guo Songxiang's and the Guo Family's plans, in Guo Songxiang's opinion, it was because both sides were serving different masters. Therefore, the grudge between them couldn't be considered as a personal grudge. The reason why Guo Songxiang stayed here was because he needed to push forward his and his family's plans, just like how Qin Lang was pushing forward his own plans.
The 9th Military District of Xinwei should have become Guo Songxiang and the Guo family's secret resource, but just like the previous Dragon Vein Project, the results were stolen by Qin Lang in the end. The Guo family naturally hated Qin Lang and the others to the bone, but Guo Songxiang did not think so. He thought that it was actually a good thing that the 9th Military District of Xinwei fell into Qin Lang's hands because Qin Lang had stabilized the radiation index of this area, which meant that he had successfully controlled the "unknown radiation" from the undead world. This was a problem that even Guo Songxiang and the others could not solve before.
Guo Songxiang thought that Qin Lang stabilizing this military district might not be a bad thing for them. As long as they found a way to steal the control of this military district. Once they succeeded in stealing the control of this military district, all the previous efforts of Qin Lang and the others would be for naught.
Qin Lang was quite clear about Guo Songxiang's thoughts because the higher one's realm was, the higher one's vision would be. Since Guo Songxiang had been observing nearby, it meant that he and the Guo family were determined to gain control of this military district.
As for the nationwide rumors this time, it must have been fueled by Guo Songxiang and the Guo family.
As for the rumors that spread throughout the country, it must have been fueled by Guo Songxiang and the Guo family behind the scenes. For the Guo Family, purely trying to obtain control over this military region through political means was already impossible, because regardless of whether it was Elder Bao's faction or the Dragon Snake troops led by Marquis Wuming and his daughter, they wouldn't accept the Guo Family interfering. Moreover, Old Master Bao's family and the other big shots' families had obtained many unexpected benefits from this military district. They were naturally unwilling to share these benefits with their political opponents.
Guo Songxiang was unable to seize control of the entire military base on his own, and the Guo family was unable to use political means to gain control of the military base. Therefore, they joined forces with the Prominent Clan, the Art Clan, the Herbal Clan, and the other factions in the pugilistic world to prepare for a showdown with Elder Bao.
Actually, it was Qin Lang's turn to show that the actual control of this military district was still in Qin Lang's hands. Any force that wanted to enter the ghost cave had to pay a certain "entrance fee".
However, Qin Lang didn't show any intention of investigating this incident. On one hand, he didn't want to get too close to politicians other than Old Master Bao. On the other hand, he felt that although the impact of this exposure was unpredictable, it might not necessarily be a bad thing.
In the past, Qin Lang had also believed that if ordinary people knew that a calamity was coming, perhaps the order of society would quickly collapse. The people who were in fear would become like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. Then, driven by fear and the evil nature of human nature, some people's beastly nature would appear. It was very likely that before the calamity arrived, people would have already begun to kill and destroy each other.
However, these were all Qin Lang's thoughts in the past. Ever since the attack on White Shade City, Qin Lang changed his view. The reason was simple. There were too many undead creatures in White Shade City. Hua Xia's sects and the elite forces of the Dragon Snake troops barely managed to take down one undead city. If all the creatures in the undead world flooded into this world, wouldn't they be able to destroy the entire Earth in a short amount of time?
In short, Qin Lang needed more combatants. In the past, he thought that the strength of the Poisons and the Dragon Snake troops was enough to deal with many problems. However, at that time, his vision was still on the level of countries against countries. Now, the level he was facing was completely different.
No matter how Old Master Bao and the others dealt with the exposure of Xinwei's 9th Military District, they couldn't completely block the news because the news had already spread. Even if it was blocked, there would definitely be a considerable number of people who believed in these rumors and were preparing for it.
Generally speaking, it was best to refute rumors as soon as possible. However, this time, Old Master Bao and the others took a day to come to a conclusion. This time, they didn't decide to block the news, nor did they choose to refute the rumors. They chose another way to deal with it, a way that the Guo family and the forces behind them didn't expect.
Open and honest!
No one expected the decision from the higher-ups this time. Everyone thought that, like before, Old Master Bao and the others would block the news and let the experts refute the rumors. After all, this was the way politicians dealt with things. Even Qin Lang thought that this might be the result.
However, this time, the number one person personally appeared on the major media and disclosed the incident in detail. He explained the reason and significance of the existence of Xinwei's 9th Military District. The news report pointed out the existence of Xinwei's 9th Military District because some mysterious phenomenon had indeed appeared in this area. It was later confirmed that it was a 'wormhole' that led to another world. This could be considered as proof that humans were not alone in this universe and that we were not the only intelligent life …
The official explanation was more scientific, so the technical terms used were basically scientific terms such as' wormhole 'and' other world '. In order to explain this phenomenon, they even used terms such as' parallel universe 'and' multiverse '. This was nothing more than to tell the public that although Xinwei's 9th Military District did exist and some supernatural phenomena did exist, everything was still under the control of the government. This time, it was only a' third contact '.
Since they had decided to disclose the truth, there was no need to hide it anymore. The officials told everyone that wormholes existed, other worlds existed, and otherworldly creatures also existed. These otherworldly creatures did pose a certain threat to humans. However, the officials also told everyone that the military and the scientific community had sent a large number of elites into Xinwei's 9th Military District. On one hand, it was to prevent any accidents from happening, and on the other hand, it was to conduct research on these otherworldly creatures to further understand them.
This was a very significant piece of news. When Qin Lang saw this news, he finally understood why Elder Bao and the others took a day to make this decision. It was not easy to make this decision.
Once this decision was made, they would have to face pressure from many sides. On one hand, the domestic people and the media naturally needed more information. They wanted to know how the wormholes and otherworldly creatures might affect them. On the other hand, their foreign 'friends' would definitely not be idle. In the past, Hua Xia's military and government did not officially admit that they had conducted 'third contact' and related research. Some countries also did not have a suitable reason to ask for intervention. However, now that Hua Xia had officially acknowledged it, some countries could use the excuse of 'working together to maintain world peace' to intervene.
Qin Lang did not need to worry about how much pressure Elder Bao and the others would face because he knew that since these people had made such a decision, they must have a solution. Now, he only needed to consider another problem.
