"Ol 'Guo, come look at the news, the abnormal person's illness can be cured!"
Yu Qi's shout of joy prompted Guo Pengbin to rush over. He stood before the television in the room.
After their family left River End Village, just like the rest of the villagers, they were moved to this temporary settlement by Eastern State Phecda's personnel. Even though they stayed in a prefab house, it had everything. There were guards outside and the living conditions were much better than the mud houses in the village.
Every house was equipped with a television so they could watch the news. What they were watching was GOA's global press conference. Special medicine for abnormal brain disorders! One or two pills could effectively control the patient's condition.
"Haha …" Guo Pengbin couldn't help but laugh as he mumbled, "There's hope, there's hope …"
Listening to Director Phecda's solemn and confident speech on the television, his emotions surged.
Not only could the abnormal person's illness be cured, the world could be saved, they could be saved as well …
At the same time, cheers came from the camp outside the prefab house. Even though the elders were clueless about the situation, there were quite a number of young people there.
"Hubby, do you think …" Yu Qi recovered and started to worry. "Will this work? Those abnormal people are so powerful … "
"Sigh!" Guo Pengbin couldn't help but interrupt her. "Didn't you hear Director Huang? This is a struggle between light and darkness! The fewer the patients, the weaker the League's power will be. Therefore, this special medicine is crucial. We need to have confidence and faith. "
"That's what he said." Yu Qi sighed. "But those abnormal people, even if they don't have guns, they're …"
Guo Pengbin understood what she meant. They weren't something humans could defeat, not even the strongest boxer, but …
Before Yu Qi could finish her sentence, the press conference had entered the next segment. Director Huang was going to announce something else to the world. They had a way to obtain superpowers. Mortals could become superhumans, but unlike the Alliance of Will of Life, they wouldn't mutate. Instead, they would use this power to protect ordinary people.
Those people were known as' Doctors of Carlop 'because they obtained their Transcendent powers by treating patients and saving lives, which was related to the lost Carlop Civilization.
Guo Pengbin stared blankly. This was truly a major announcement. For the entire world …
For the first time, GOA acknowledged and explained in detail what "supernatural power" was and what level it could reach.
After Director Huang's speech, a team of Carlop Doctors performed in front of the camera. One of them, Cai Zixuan, was a Carlop Doctor who could shatter rocks with a single punch. He was also Gu Jun's classmate. Only then did the commoners realize that the Raven Seal had such power.
Not only was Guo Pengbin excited, but Yu Qi also changed her mind.
With these extraordinary doctors like Carlop, it was not impossible for humans to deal with the Inhumans.
More and more mysterious things were revealed to the world and Director Huang had only revealed a small portion of them. Under normal circumstances, such information would cause mental damage to an ordinary person but in this difficult time, such information could give them hope and everyone needed it.
After the press conference ended, Guo Pengbin walked out of the makeshift house. He gazed up at the azure sky and took a deep breath.
"Pengbin, have you seen the news?" Xu Hui, who was around the same age as him, ran over, unable to conceal his excitement. "We're not done …"
"Of course!" Guo Pengbin replied instantly. "I've never thought that humans would be done for, we still have Phecda and the rest."
"Come, let's go online." Xu Hui nodded, calling him over to a large barracks in the distance.
In order to prevent the emergence of another 'Inhuman Virus Website', the internet in the settlement was strictly monitored. Their phones couldn't go online but there was a large barracks that resembled an internet café where they could surf the internet and browse open websites.
The two of them hurriedly walked over. Along the way, there were old people chatting in the shade, and children were chasing and playing. Guo Pengbin saw that his little tiger head and Little Vegetable were there as well. These children seemed to have completely forgotten the fright they had suffered earlier, and were happily chasing and playing.
They quickly entered the internet café barracks. There were youngsters everywhere and the computers were usually occupied by older children playing games. A portion of them were excitedly watching the press conference and discussing it loudly.
Youngsters and adults had different thoughts. The apocalypse didn't just bring fear, it also brought excitement. At that moment, they wanted to become Doctor Carlop.
It was obvious that they only saw the power of Doctor Carlop but didn't understand or care about the 'sacrifice' that Director Huang mentioned. Accepting such extraordinary powers came at the cost of one's own body. Every use of extraordinary powers was a sacrifice. This wasn't the kind of cultivation that youngsters thought of.
But Guo Pengbin didn't argue with the youngsters. Instead, he requested a computer from the guard and went online to browse the reactions of the outside world.
As expected, the internet was in an uproar. Guo Pengbin browsed for a while, the public opinion was mainly positive. He didn't know if this was the future but he was rather excited. It felt like everyone had regained their confidence in defeating the Inhumans.
There was also a minority that expressed doubt, like his wife, doubting the authenticity of the drug, doubting whether the extraordinary powers were special effects or something else …
They even doubted the power of the news even if it was all true …
Guo Pengbin refreshed the map of the Inhumans. The red dots continued to increase. Be it Eastern State or Da Hwa City, they were already overwhelmed.
He looked at these and gradually became silent. Then, he browsed through some other news. A large number of patients with petrification were still waiting in line for surgery. The severe damage caused by the floods that broke out in various parts of the world had not yet been recovered … Countless patients with heterotopia …
"Sigh." He sighed, and the excitement in his heart subsided. This was, after all, a world riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse.
On the computer beside him, the youngster was replaying the news conference. Director Huang said solemnly,
"In these difficult times, in the face of the struggle between light and darkness, we need faith more than ever. Your faith is strength."
Guo Pengbin took another deep breath, dispelling his fear and confusion. He couldn't do it but he was willing to believe that the world wasn't over yet. He couldn't do much other than take care of himself and his family and not surrender to the forces of darkness. That was all he could do …
He calmed his heart and posted a comment on the news. "Go Doctor Carlop!"
