After staying in school for a day, Xia Xu had to take leave and rush back to Xingcheng the next day.
The special department needs to coordinate with Xinghai Group in the publicity for the cooperation, as well as the press conference and the response to those identity verification requests online, all of which require him to appear in person.
Officially, there has been silence regarding the wolf giant incident from the day before yesterday until this morning, with neither confirmation nor denial, and the official media has not mentioned it at all.
But precisely because of this, the debate and heated discussions on the Internet have become increasingly intense.
Some people think that since the public opinion has caused such a big stir, if it were false, the official should have come out to refute it long ago, so the wolf giant incident is true.
But some people also refuted that the official did not mention it at all, which just proved that the matter was false and was just a small matter spread by rumors among the people. This is why it did not rise to the level of official attention and response.
Both sides held their own opinions and argued endlessly, and neither could convince the other.
This kind of debate was doomed to be fruitless, so the attention of a few rational people and more spectators was actually focused on Xia Xu.
Countless people are calling on him to show up and respond, hoping to verify his identity and the authenticity of the wolf giant incident.
After all, this is not an unknown person. He has a series of glorious titles such as the founder of Xinghai Group and a genius academic master. It is impossible for such a heavyweight public figure to make up such rumors for no reason to attract attention. Once he responds publicly, the truth of this matter will be determined.
Therefore, in order to gain popularity and timeliness of the news, a large number of journalists and media outlets were squatting in front of the doors of various companies of Xinghai Group almost day and night, even though it was announced that a press conference would be held.
News is time-sensitive, and first-hand information is the most valuable. If they wait until the press conference is held, even the most explosive news will certainly not be as good as the current exclusive information. They are well aware of this.
Until this morning, with the information released by official media and some public notice windows, the situation reached its peak.
The authorities actually made a formal response to the Demon City Wolf Giant incident in the morning, announcing a lot of investigation progress and causes and consequences.
From the Gardner Mental Hospital to the secret biological experiments, and then to the giant manufacturing technology they were researching, the entire incident was made public in the form of a major and vicious crime case.
A foreign-funded medical company, which actually possesses extremely advanced biotechnology, secretly uses patients in its mental hospital to conduct biological transformation experiments, and creates real giants based on principles similar to gigantism.
Crazy!
The whole network was in an uproar!
Such official announcement is tantamount to confirming the wolf giant incident, and indirectly confirming the fact that supernatural monsters exist.
Although the word "supernatural" may need to be put in quotation marks, for most people, especially the older generation, it is tantamount to completely shattering their worldview.
And the wolf giant incident was confirmed to be just a trigger. Since wolf giants exist, what about the others
Do we need to re-examine those rumors and myths that we once thought were just fictions
Once you change your mindset, the more you look at the information circulating on the Internet today, the more terrifying it becomes.
Werewolves, vampires, superheroes, mad zombies that bite people and can infect others, occasional sightings of black shadows, giant monsters...
There are all kinds of mixed true and false information on the Internet, 99% of which are false rumors, but in the eyes of people who have just refreshed their worldview, each one is so suspicious and so shocking.
No matter how they tried to reason with themselves, no matter how obviously false the rumor was, they couldn't help but think at this moment - maybe this was true
Once this thought arises, it is accompanied by endless panic.
To put it simply, whether it is because of biotechnology or other reasons, the existence of these horrific supernatural creatures has become a fact, so wouldn't we be in danger of being attacked at any time
The police can handle ordinary criminals, but can they handle these extraordinary monsters and extraordinary criminals? Can they protect themselves
In a broader sense, will the emergence of this kind of advanced technology, like black technology, affect the domestic situation and even the world situation? Has our country mastered this advanced technology
This is super technology related to military force, and it is technology mastered by a minority of people. In the eyes of knowledgeable people, this is entirely possible to trigger a reshuffle of classes and even the international situation.
If the government does not have equivalent technical capabilities, won’t it be unable to check and balance those criminals
What’s even more terrifying is, if only foreign forces possess this super technology, how should Xia Country cope with it
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is a lesson learned through blood and tears.
The resulting unrest, whether domestic or foreign, will be an unacceptable nightmare for most people born in this peaceful country.
A surge of public opinion and panic began to spread.
"By the way, didn't they say that a mysterious person used high technology to stop the wolf giant?"
"That's right, Mechanic! Didn't the Mechanic successfully stop the Wolf Giant?"
In this panic, many people still found blind spots and life-saving straws.
Although biological monsters like the wolf giant are terrifying, according to rumors, they have been stopped by people.
Since the wolf giant is real, the mysterious man who finally stopped the wolf giant is naturally real as well. Even the means he used to stop the wolf giant is truly modern high-tech, mechanical and materials-based creations.
And this mysterious mechanic, according to rumors, seems to be the chairman of Xinghai Group
At this moment, Xia Xu and Xinghai Group have completely become the focus of public opinion on the entire network. The public is paying more and more attention, and the reporters are getting more and more crazy. Everyone is eagerly hoping that he will come out and give a definite response.
Is the mechanic really the chairman of Xinghai Group
Does Xinghai Group also possess similar advanced technologies
Is there any cooperation with the authorities
Will it help future situation and stability
Countless questions require an answer, and they urgently need an answer.
At noon, Xia Xu quietly returned to Xingcheng. After a little disguise, he came to Xinghai Venture Capital, which is now the headquarters of Xinghai Group, in a very low-key manner.
After all, it started as Xinghai Venture Capital, and the general manager Chen Leyao is also in charge here, so this can be regarded as the group's head office.
Of course, precisely because of this, there were the most media reporters blocking the way here. It took Xia Xu a lot of effort just to avoid these people's sight. He almost climbed through the window and looked like a failed man.
"Boss, you are finally back. Come up with a decision. Should we hold a press conference now or..."
Seeing Xia Xu coming quietly, Chen Leyao, who had been a little overwhelmed by public opinion and reporters, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
