Chapter 214 (Chapter 214...)

It’s no wonder that the foreign media are so fanatical. In fact, everyone was not at peace last year, and all countries encountered troubles to one degree or another.

Although it is not like Zhongzhou, disasters come one after another, so quickly that people have very little time to respond, but earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons and wildfires are also impossible to prevent.

Sudden natural disasters always take away the lives and health of many people. In such an environment, most people will begin to pay attention to how to protect themselves and their families.

The timing of the emergence of the protective shield can be said to be just right.

Some people even thought this was fake news at first. After all, once they heard about the function of the protective shield, it was really no different from science fiction.

Even today’s science fiction novels are not like this.

They didn't really believe it until the Chinese-funded media released video materials and witnessed with their own eyes the people in Zhongzhou jumping off high-rise buildings using protective shields and then coming out of them safely.

Coupled with the various efforts of the media (shocking the body), for a time, even country S was discussing it eagerly.

Country S has been in frequent conflicts with a certain country since last year. Although it is still in the stage of war of words, and the situation between the two countries does not support a real war, it cannot stop the panic of the people.

In addition, there have been several explosion accidents in country S this year, factory fires, and a school bus accident that killed all the teachers and students on the bus.

No matter how the authorities view it, ordinary people don’t care about it.

In addition, all media outlets are desperately reporting on it. In the end, even some of the larger domestic media outlets joined in. People who work and go to school, young and old, everyone knows about it.

"If you can prepare a protective shield at home, how many dangers can be avoided."

"What is our country doing? Why is it that even the simplest airbag is so difficult for us to develop even though Zhongzhou has developed it?"

"Zhongzhou is developing too fast. I think we can buy Zhongzhou's technology."

"My daughter is going to college soon, and I want to buy a set of protective masks before she starts school. The media keeps reporting on it, but why haven't they said where to buy it?!"

Lin Susu is a staff member of the newspaper. She originally worked in China. Last year, due to job transfer, she was sent to the S country branch by the headquarters.

Generally speaking, Country S is indeed much more advanced than Central Continent. It has tall buildings and people are accustomed to using cars to travel. A family can have multiple electrical appliances at the same time, such as air conditioners, televisions, recorders, washing machines, etc.

Lin Susu's family is not poor in Zhongzhou, and can even be called upper-middle class, but even so, it is impossible for her to have so many electrical appliances in her home.

The convenience technology brings to life is reflected in all aspects. The place where she rents has a shared washing machine, a beautiful lamp left by the landlord in the room, and she takes the elevator to travel.

Lin Susu quickly adapted to this kind of life, but she did not develop a sense of belonging to country S because of this, and she never thought about staying here.

Her roommate, a girl from country D who also came here to work hard, was puzzled, so she told her:

"Of course I also like such a convenient and convenient life, but I want to live such a life in my country even more. No matter how nice it is here, it is not my country after all."

It's not just because of this, as a yellow person, she has encountered many racist people since she came to work in this well-developed Western country.

Someone would bump into her on purpose when walking on the street. She would be scolded on the subway and told to go back to her country. When she went to a store to buy something, she would also be treated coldly by salespeople.

The first time she encountered this, she was angry and aggrieved. When she was harassed, she chose to call the police. Unfortunately, the police in country S treated her even worse.

Later, her boss went out of her way to comfort her, and she realized that the people from Central China who worked here had all encountered similar incidents.

"It's okay for us who come to work because we are assigned abroad. Our colleagues are basically from our own country. We usually have someone to talk to when eating and chatting. For example, international students who come to study abroad face rejection from their classmates in school. There is no way to hide.”

Lin Susu also knew for the first time that in country S, children with good grades might be ostracized. If they had good grades and were of yellow race, they might even encounter school violence.

Of course, country S is not all bad people, but it is undeniable that discrimination, exclusion, and inexplicable malice have always surrounded the people of Zhongzhou in country S.

There are many cases of overseas students from Zhongzhou dying in foreign lands due to various reasons, but the local treatment rarely gives justice to the families of these people. Her boss even secretly told her:

"I heard my father say that if the students who came here to study in Zhongzhou were very capable, the S Congress would come to recruit them. If they didn't agree, they would kill them. At that time, our country's national power was weak, and many of them died inexplicably. With talent, the murderer can even get away with it openly.”

"Although it is better now, what happened is still there. My father has not forgotten it, and neither have his classmates. So no matter how good this place is, I have never thought of settling here."

Lin Susu felt chills all over her body after hearing this, and called her aunt specifically not to send her cousin abroad.

Maybe her cousin wouldn't encounter such a thing, but what if, as a media worker, she had seen a lot in the year she came here.

Although since news emerged that Zhongzhou had used a large number of military forces to evacuate overseas Chinese and successfully brought the overseas Chinese in U back to their home country, she could clearly feel that the landlord and the residents upstairs and downstairs were much friendlier to her.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

For safety reasons, Lin Susu has basically developed the ability to observe people's emotions when traveling.

As soon as she saw something was wrong, she ran away immediately. There were a lot of shootings in country S. Even if they were not directed at her, there were a lot of news about passers-by being shot for no apparent reason.

Precisely because she was used to this, when she saw a crowd of people gathered at the door of their newspaper office, Lin Susu's first reaction was to tense up and plan to run away.

Could it be that someone happened to be gathering for a demonstration here?

Or is there something happening here?

Just when she was deciding whether to continue working or run away, someone noticed her and immediately shouted:

"Are you from Middle-earth?!"

The others immediately turned their heads and looked at Lin Susu with quite passionate and excited eyes. She was so frightened that she took a big step back. They made sure that they were not pulling out guns before running away.

"Are you a staff member of xx newspaper?"

"Are you from Central China?"

Seeing that they didn't seem to be malicious, Lin Susu boldly responded.

The crowd immediately became excited and happy.

"Great! I heard that your newspaper can get first-hand information. When will the protective shields start to be sold in country S?"

"Do you know the approximate price? Can I make an appointment in advance? How much is the approximate quantity?"

Hearing that they wanted to inquire about this, Lin Susu breathed a sigh of relief, her expression relaxed, and she replied:

"Protective shields should not be sold in country S in the near future. Our country will consider whether to export them only after all our people are equipped with them."

As soon as these words came out, these S-country people looked disappointed.

Some people asked without giving up: "Can we go to Zhongzhou to buy it? If it is possible, I will buy the ticket now."

Lin Susu shook her head: "Our country has not started selling protective shields yet, but according to previous policies, you will most likely need to show your Zhongzhou ID card before you can buy it after the sale. I suggest you wait until country S can buy it in the future. To avoid a wasted trip.”

"I'm sorry, I have to go to work, please give way."

As she spoke, she walked through the crowd. Some of these people looked unwilling, but they still got out of the way and did not stop Lin Susu.

Lin Susu didn't know whether it was because the people she met were of high quality, or because they were afraid of Zhongzhou's national power and didn't dare to be rude to her like the people she met before.

But she knows one thing:

"It's so cool!!! It's so cool!!!"

Entering the small office, Lin Susu happily shared this incident after they were both colleagues from Zhongzhou:

"Really, they just showed so much respect to me. I have never been looked at like this by anyone in my long time in country S."

Colleagues also shared their feelings:

"Yeah, yeah, didn't I tell you about the neighbor across from my house before? It's the one who plays the TV very loudly every night. I've told you so many times but it doesn't work. As soon as the news about the evacuation of our Chinese citizens in Zhongzhou came out, , he lowered his voice without me having to say anything.”

"Now that there is news about protective shields, his wife came over very politely and asked me if I had any inside information and where to buy it. It was as if she was not the one who had eyes and noses before."

"Me too, my landlord is so affectionate when he sees me."

The leader smiled and listened to them quietly. When he saw that they had almost finished speaking, he clapped his hands and interrupted:

"Okay, okay, let's keep working. The country is supporting us, so we have to work hard."

"no problem!"

"Boss, please take a look!"

Everyone went to work with confidence and motivation. Just thinking that their country was becoming more and more powerful, they couldn't help but feel excited.

"Come on! Keep working!"

"It's been a long time since I've been back to China. Our country is really developing so fast. It feels like I haven't been back for only a year. I just picked up the slack."

“I don’t know what it will be like in a few years, I’m really looking forward to it.”

"It will definitely be great! Technology is like this. Once it develops, it will change every day."

While chatting, they began to continue the work at hand:

"I don't know which powerful scientific researcher made the protective shield or how many people there are."

"Go, go, can you inquire about this? These are all secrets. What if someone knows who it is and is assassinated?"

"Aren't I worried? You know, you must be very old to be so powerful. I hope you won't be too tired. Such a national treasure-level scientific researcher must live a long time."

"Yes, eh, I hope he|she can be in good health."

capital of middle-earth

In the Qiming Building of the University of Science and Technology, the old man Song Yao stood up unsteadily.

He looks like this now, with a huge ball on top,

"Hahahahaha!! I succeeded!! I succeeded!!!"

Song Yao was extremely excited. Even if the protective effect was weakened, as a separate version was used for escape functions such as fire, he felt that he had achieved his goal.

Zhao Xiaodong was also very happy, but then he scratched his head:

"Yao'er, are you a little too top-heavy? It seems like you can't stand firmly."

Song Yao walked forward unsteadily: "I was not used to it at that time. Besides, it doesn't matter if I walk fast or slow because there is a protective shield. Wait, I will go downstairs and show you... Oh!"

The military comrade guarding the gate looked at the big blue ball stuck in the door and the child inside, and asked hurriedly:

"Comrade Song? Are you okay? Do you want us to help you?"

Song Yao waved in the ball: "No!!!"

"It's just a little stuck, I will come out with a little effort!"

He continued to move forward aggressively, but no matter how hard his two short legs tried, the big ball was stuck in the door frame.

In fact, because of his efforts to move forward, it was stuck tighter.

Song Yao jumped forward in anger, trying to get out through the momentum.

In the end, he jumped up, but his feet did not land.

Song Yao:? ? ?

The child was full of disbelief:

"I, why can't my feet reach the ground?? Eh? Eh? What's going on?"

The military comrades who witnessed him and the ball stuck in the middle of the door frame, with a pair of legs that were particularly short against the ball hanging in the air and trying to reach the ground: "..."

"Song Yao, why don't you come out first?"

Song Yao, who quickly figured out the situation, also felt a little embarrassed. He coughed dryly and pretended to be nothing:

"It seems that the eighth version still needs to be adjusted. I'll turn on the switch and come down right away."

The next second, this calm voice was shocked again:

"Why can't I press my switch?!"

"Ah!!! It's over!! It's also stuck in the door frame!!"

The military comrades quickly took action and tried to pull the ball out or push it in.

But maybe Song Yao jumped too hard just now, or maybe the material of the protective cover he made was too strong. After a lot of trouble, Song Yao was stuck above the center of the door and couldn't get down.

Zhao Xiaodong hurried over to see, and then laughed for a long time.

After Song Yao was so angry that he wanted to bite him to death in the ball, he held back his laughter and tried to pretend to be serious:

"What should I do? The eighth version has not yet installed the safety device for going out, so there is no way to let you out from the outside."

"Hahaha, it seems that you can only hang here, hahahaha, didn't you say you would go downstairs? Run, come and run, hahaha!"

Song Yao, whose short legs were still dangling in the air, was angry.

"Don't laugh!! What do you know!! Science always requires sacrifices!!"

"Hahahaha, you call this a sacrifice, no, I'm going to ask Zhou Yi and the others to come and see hahaha!"

"No!! Zhao Xiaodong, wait for me!! Ahhhh, wait for me to come out!!"

Song Yao was so angry that his legs almost left an afterimage on the desk, but the ball was still motionless.

The child looked around and couldn't think of any solution for a while.

He was stuck above and Zhao Xiaodong laughed at him below. How could he bear such grievances?

Song Yao gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and began to use his ultimate move:

"Brother Yuan Jiang!!!!"

"Save me! Aa ...
