In this storm, the thing that disappointed the Hope Media reporter the most was that he had taken a large number of photos of the refugees. He wanted everyone to pay more attention to the disaster itself and the refugees.
But in reality, everyone quickly forgot about the plight of the refugees. This made the reporter a little sad.
After the Wang Clan pointed the finger at the Kyung Clan, everyone started waiting for the reactions of the other consortiums. However, the other consortiums suddenly fell silent and remained silent.
Some reporters who wanted to interview the Kong Clan and Zhou Clan's higher-ups were all turned away.
Actually, no one was fucking stupid. If the Wang Clan had suddenly jumped in, why did they have to drag them down in front of the reporters? They really did have nuclear bombs!
Moreover, they could not understand why the Wang Clan would dare to jump in when they knew the Kyung Clan had nuclear weapons. Were they not afraid of death?
Or could it be that the Wang Clan had other sources of confidence? If they did not have any other sources of confidence, the Wang Clan would seem a little arrogant when they jumped in.
Before they could figure out these questions, they could only remain silent.
In recent years, the Zhou Clan and the Kong Clan had gradually started to feel the pressure from the Wang Clan. Otherwise, Zhou Shiji would not have taken the initiative to befriend Luo Lan.
But after the nuclear bomb was dropped, the entire situation suddenly fell into chaos. Everyone could not tell who was an enemy and who was a friend.
Or to be more precise, everyone else was an enemy other than themselves. It was just that they could not tell who was a greater threat.
The Zhou Clan had mixed feelings about the nuclear bomb. The Experimentals were a headache for them. If not for the nuclear bomb, they would not know how to deal with the problem of the Experimentals.
They were unwilling to cover the entire Stronghold 74 with their own firepower. Now, the Kyung Clan had helped them solve this problem.
Everyone understood that the Kyung Clan had only dropped the nuclear bomb after the situation was irreparable. It seemed like they did not want to hurt the innocent. But once the nuclear bomb was dropped, the vicinity of Stronghold 74 would be rendered useless.
Since the Kyung Clan had the courage to directly use nuclear bombs to deal with the Experimentals, why didn't you use them when the Experimentals were in your territory?!
Therefore, Zhou Shiji felt that the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Kyung Clan needed to be put on hold until they could see the situation clearly.
Time passed day by day. A reporter from Hope Media traveled thousands of miles to the Kyung Clan to ask what the Kyung Clan thought of this matter and if they would give up on nuclear weapons on their own.
However, the Kyung Clan's reply was too surprising. The Kyung Clan's spokesperson was puzzled. "We weren't the ones who launched the nuclear bomb. Why would the Wang Clan point the finger at us? Could it be that consortiums can make things up now?"
The reporters were stunned on the spot. Just when the whole world thought that this was done by the Kyung Clan, the Kyung Clan actually denied it.
Now that they thought about it, there didn't seem to be any evidence that the Kyung Clan had done it.
The various consortiums were also speechless. Everyone knew very well that the Central Plains' nuclear test sites had been destroyed by the Saboteurs, and only the Kyung Clan still had the strength to do so. However, they really did not have any evidence.
The Kyung Clan was clearly trying to act shamelessly. No one knew if they were trying to stall for time or muddy the waters even more.
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, Luo Lan, who was a guest at the Kong Clan's headquarters, started accepting interviews in public.
Logically speaking, the most important thing for Luo Lan to do now was to leave the Central Plains and return to the Kyung Clan's territory. Even Zhou Qi was trying his best to persuade Luo Lan to leave quickly.
If the consortiums really joined forces to arrest him, even Zhou Qi would not be able to protect Luo Lan!
But not only did Luo Lan not leave, he even swaggered into accepting interviews. How infuriating was that?
When Luo Lan faced the reporters, he said in a pained tone, "Don't just casually frame the Kyung Clan. Just because the Wang Clan says that we lost the nuclear bomb, does it really mean that we lost it? A lot of people know that the Saboteurs wanted to destroy our nuclear test sites in the Southwest, but the Saboteurs didn't manage to find them either. We don't even have that thing, so how are they supposed to find it? The Wang Clan can't just simply frame us. "
The reporters were dumbfounded. "Then what do you think of this matter?"
Luo Lan felt even more pained and nearly cried. "No matter who blew it up, I think it was a good thing. According to the reporters from Hope Media, Stronghold 74 had already fallen at that time, right? That means whether there were any survivors inside, they would have been torn to shreds by the Experimentals. Our Kyung Clan has fought many battles with the Experimentals. When the Li Consortium's strongholds were attacked by the Experimentals, our Kyung Clan went to support them and even suffered heavy casualties. Unfortunately, the Li Consortium could not withstand the Experimentals' attack. Our Kyung Clan took over their strongholds so that the residents of the Li Consortium's strongholds could live and work in peace and contentment."
According to Luo Lan, they had taken over the Li Consortium's strongholds for the sake of justice. They wanted to support the Li Consortium, but the Li Consortium could not withstand the attack. It was all the Experimentals' fault!
His tone of bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying mankind made him sound like a philanthropist.
Luo Lan wiped away his tears as he continued, "No matter who blew up Stronghold 74, I, Luo Lan, would like to thank all of you first. You've avenged the people of the Southwest and the residents of Stronghold 74. You've even helped humanity get rid of all future threats!"
With that, Luo Lan bowed deeply to the camera. "Thank you!"
The reporters were dumbfounded. When the consortiums saw the report, they nearly cursed him for being shameless!
After the Kong Clan's member next to Luo Lan left, he said with a smile, "Boss Luo, you're really fearless in the face of danger. Despite such a major incident, you're still acting like nothing happened at our Kong Clan's place. I'm impressed."
This was not a lie. He was really impressed. Putting everything else aside, he had to at least give Luo Lan 100 points for his acting and courage!
The Kong Clan's member did not ask the Kyung Clan if they had nuclear weapons. They never looked at the evidence when they did things. Everyone knew it was the Kyung Clan who had done it, so there was no need to question them further.
However, Luo Lan narrowed his eyes. "That's nothing. Not only am I a guest at your Kong Clan's place, but I'll also be visiting the Wang Clan in a few days. Let's see who dares to touch me there."
After the Kong Clan's member left, Luo Lan collapsed onto the sofa and asked Zhou Qi, "I'm really panicking right now. Do you think they'll really tie me up?"
Zhou Qi did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Since you're so worried, you should hurry back to the Kyung Clan overnight. When you went out on the streets a few days ago, the people in the stronghold were all pointing at you behind your back. I'm guessing that if you go back to the Wang Clan, someone will probably throw rotten eggs at you. As a matter of fact, the Wang Clan's official media outlets and newspapers have all started portraying the Kyung Clan as the villain. "
"I can't leave." Luo Lan got up and looked out the window. "The Kyung Clan is at the cusp of the storm, and Qing Zhen needs someone to stir things up in the Central Plains to buy him some time. I can't leave!"
