Chapter 1348 - Out Of Control (1/2)
Chapter 1348: Out Of Control
The live broadcast was interrupted.
The public was in an uproar.
The citizens of Yokosuka, who still possessed a hint of friendliness to the UA military, almost smashed their phones in anger, and the signs that had been put aside were raised again. The police, who persuaded the citizens to stop moving forward, revealed mixed emotions and also wavered.
The indignant people shoved the police line as they shouted.
“Get out of Yokosuka!”
“Liar! Shameful liar!”
“I’m pet.i.tioning to Lift the security treaty!”
“Yokosuka is not a guinea pig, get out!”
Not only the gates of the Yokosuka military base, but demonstrators had started to converge in front of the gates of military bases in Yokota, Sasebo, and even Okinawa. With wooden signs held up high, they shouted protest slogans. While they responded to the people of Yokosuka, they shouted an easy to understand phrase to the soldiers in the military base—
“GET OUT!”
In the UA.
The man in front of the TV watched the news as he covered his head with both his hands in despair.
“T-virus…G.o.d, tell me this is not true.”
He could not believe that his country really tried this.
Originally, he still firmly believed that this must be a malicious campaign by Celestial Trade to smear the UA’s image. After all, it was not the first day that Future 1.0 criticized the UA. However, with the evidence in front of his eyes, it was impossible for him to close his eyes and ignore it.
In the comment section of major websites and forums, the keyboard warriors were already battling.
“Why does the CIB want to get T-virus data? Unbelievable, what do the politicians in the Capitol want to do?!”
“The United Nations should take over these servers immediately! No, that’s not right! They should be destroyed immediately!”
“I don’t agree with surrendering the servers. The T-virus can be used as a deterrent, as long as we are cautious enough not to really use them. It’s like a nuclear warhead in a silo…”
Both sides held their own opinions. One side believed that national interests were above all else and understood the CIB’s collection of T-virus data. The other side believed that humanitarianism was the priority. Regardless of the purposes, biological weapons should not be used for military purposes.
In a sense, the polarization of opinion also reflected the confusion of the UA people on whether they were leaning left or right. And this is the reason why Trump almost caught up in support of Kennedy in less than half a year.
Regardless of how polarized opinions were on the Internet, the people of California were obviously not satisfied with using the keyboard to express their political views. In particular, citizens of San Francisco and Los Angeles took to the streets and surrounded the state government and CIB buildings with slogans and protest signs.
Based on the information disclosed by Future 1.0, these servers were originally planned to be s.h.i.+pped back to Los Angeles. So, no matter how the UA authorities and the CIB planned to deal with these servers, the final destination, California, was a dangerous location.
Even as a fanatical zombie culture lover, no one really hoped to see the day where the walking dead really happened…
Different from the polarization of opinion in the UA, public opinion abroad was relatively more unified, almost overwhelmingly disappointed in the behavior of the UA.
Especially the Finnish people, who suffered because of the “Kurofune”, took a clear-cut stance against the UA this time. The Finnish Prime Minister even publicly condemned the CIB’s behavior, calling their action a crime against humanity…
