The big screen lit up, showing a video.
Song He nearly lost it the moment he saw the video. It featured the familiar Bowman.
The vicious Bowman rampaged across the screen, slaughtering innocent cells along the way and draining their nutrients before splitting into a pile of ugly little Bowmans. It was shrouded in demonic menace, practically wearing the word "villain" across its face!
Subtitles appeared, accompanied by the voice of a documentary-style narrator:
Super Bacteria, the Culprit Behind the Deaths of Critically Ill Patients
Throughout human history of extensive antibiotic use, bacteria have continually evolved extreme drug resistance, becoming impervious to all antibiotics and wantonly slaughtering frail patients.
The world has not seen a sufficiently powerful antibiotic in decades. Existing antibiotics are becoming ineffective faster and faster. In other words, the world is facing an antibiotic crisis!
Photos of countless hospital wards flashed across the screen, almost entirely pixelated: people whose hands and feet had been chewed apart by Super Bacteria, people whose faces had been bitten through, piles of body bags stacked high in morgues...
The atmosphere was oppressive and terrifying!
More and more antibiotic defenses were being breached. Humanity was returning to the age before antibiotics.
Ten years ago, Super Bacteria killed around 700,000 people every year. Ten years later, that number had surged to two million. It was projected to reach ten million in twenty years!
The entire venue fell silent. Many people had goosebumps.
It was a horror movie. The scenes on the big screen were practically a horror movie!
Only one person in the corner was delighted.
Song He stared at the screen as the number of viewers in the Livestream Room began to surge miraculously: 100,000, 130,000, 170,000...
Selling anxiety really works. It certainly draws attention... he thought gleefully to himself.
