287: The Truth Couldn't Be Kept Hidden
In order to save people, Lu Li searched for information related to Mianbei multiple times, and the big data indeed pushed out the video in time.
He randomly clicked on it and found "Iron-Blooded Brother Chen," a film he had personally directed.
In just a few hours, the video has been viewed over 10 million times and received over 100,000 comments.
Upon clicking through, it became clear that most netizens were gloating.
That's normal; over there, it's already been equated with "grilled kidneys," so naturally no one wants him to be well.
But the most heated discussion still revolved around Han Chen.
How could he possibly wield a heavy machine gun and fire like that? Is he even human?!
[No... why would he do that? A celebrity going to Mianbei to fight and kill people?]
The situation is so surreal that the internet is in complete chaos.
However, many netizens posted videos of foreign men firing the same type of machine gun.
The statement that "a lower chassis is more stable" is a rough answer to the first question.
As for the second one, someone dug up a video of Han Chen promoting Mianbei.
Then it was discovered that he had invested in several nightclubs and casinos in the area.
A chorus of curses erupted from the crowd, and they began to conjure up the "truth" in their minds.
[It must be due to an unequal distribution of the spoils; it was a case of one party eating the other's food.]
[Han Chen has a triad background, but I never imagined he was so ruthless; he killed so many people.]
[Breaking news: Iron-Blooded Brother Chen found dead naked in the street!]
Most people are just looking for fun, and new videos quickly distract them.
Lu Li couldn't help but marvel at the speed at which news spreads online.
I swiped a few more times and came across a video of puppet warfare.
A burly man in a suit, top hat, hood, and sunglasses jumped onto rooftops and threw cars...
Despite its incredible fighting style, it didn't attract much attention.
Bullets flew and smoke billowed on the battlefield, making the video shaky and blurry.
Moreover, people only believe what they already believe, and when they see these dizzying images, they subconsciously swipe away.
But Lu Li read it all silently.
He knew perfectly well that the "Iron-Blooded Han Chen" was just there to muddy the waters.
The situation is too suspicious; the truth cannot be hidden from the top few.
At this moment, many of those who had fled back from Mianbei have been handcuffed and imprisoned.
They are suspected of crimes such as fraud and illegally crossing the border, and of course they have to pay the corresponding price, but at least they feel at ease.
But then, staff members asked them to write down what they saw in the capital of the Special Administrative Region.
No matter how small the matter, nothing can be overlooked.
Many of them have witnessed puppet battles firsthand, and with the addition of videos online, some things, even if not 100% certain, have already attracted attention.
Events related to the Xia Country have always been a focus of the Star Alliance Country's intelligence department.
A war broke out in a neighboring country, a city was destroyed; and a sudden hot topic on the internet was reported immediately.
As soon as the puppet's image appeared, the analyst immediately retrieved Lu Li's intelligence.
Protecting Ms. Maria from killing field agents; assassinating military company executives, intelligence station chiefs; and recently missing operatives...
Everything is connected to Lu Li.
His intelligence was growing thicker and more secretive, and was about to be presented to a truly important person.
However, we are currently in the calm before the storm.
As soon as the plane entered the border area of Mexico, Lu Li received a thank-you text message from Qian Ping:
[He Jing's family has been reunited and will thank you in person later.]
It's good that everyone is alright.
Lu Li casually replied, then began to ponder the creation of a new puppet and how to use the spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Ocean Dollar, Qian Ping was deeply troubled... Going to save one person shouldn't mean the entire city is destroyed, right?
He thought it would be like a gunfight or something, like in an action movie.
The news reports of cities reduced to ruins and nearly 100,000 casualties left the academics stunned.
Since he was the one who brought it up, Qian Ping wanted to say a few more polite words, but no matter how he moved his fingers, he couldn't piece together anything.
In the group chat with fellow villagers, Wei Wenqi and others were also extremely astonished.
The people left one moment, and the city was gone the next; anyone with eyes can see that they are inextricably linked.
The group was very quiet when Wei Wenqi said:
[The company Lu Li must be the kind of "military company" capable of fighting wars.]
Someone quickly chimed in. "Isn't this illegal?"
Why are you meddling? He's a foreigner, the president's son-in-law.
[By the way, why is the Mexico president's daughter white?]
[After being colonized for hundreds of years, the pure-blooded indigenous people are long gone. We Yihequan the Devils; otherwise, we'd all look like Devils.]
The group chat started buzzing with bragging again, while Lu Li hung up the phone to thank He Jing's father.
He Jing is out of danger, but still needs to recuperate.
Thus, the journey came to a perfect end, and the plane landed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the manor, Jessica and Teresa each hugged Lu Li, then kissed his left and right cheeks together.
The two girls assumed Lu Li was tired, so they left together without saying much.
Lu Li could now focus on processing what he had gained.
He arrived at the warehouse, where, including the ones he had just bought, there were 40 unactivated Terminators.
Lu Li thought for a moment and only activated 10 bodies, but each body used 1,000 Divine Soul!
Once activated, these puppets, while possessing comparable strength, are noticeably more agile and nimble.
Lu Li wouldn't show favoritism either, so he also called over Number 6, who was protecting Jessica, to replenish the ranks of the veterans to a thousand Divine Soul Drives!
This used up 14,000 Divine Soul in one go.
Of the remaining 6,000, 2,000 were given to A'da and Number 0, the two main henchmen.
In a short time, only 2,000 Divine Soul remained in the Kunlun Mirror for emergencies.
It was quite expensive, but absolutely worth it!
I randomly selected an ordinary puppet and ordered it to pick up a heavy machine gun and prepare to fire.
Then, Lu Li picked up a stone and threw it into the air.
The stone traveled at nearly 200 meters per second, similar to a crossbow bolt, but the puppet raised its hand and fired two shots, blasting it apart in mid-air!
"Good, much more sensitive now. From now on, you are the new Number 7."
Lu Li casually pointed. "You are 8 or 9, the rest will be numbered sequentially downwards."
At this moment, the 20 puppets stood in neat rows in their respective positions, their pupils glowing with a ghostly blue light, awaiting their master's command.
Lu Li was very satisfied. Once the custom-made machine guns arrived, these loyal guards would possess terrifying firepower, even capable of killing innate martial artists!
Next, we need to add [a flash of inspiration].
Seemingly sensing their master's thoughts, the six flying swords instantly surrounded them, all producing a sharp clang.
It's no wonder they are like this; magical artifacts and implements absorb spiritual energy exceptionally quickly.
The unit's clever scheme, the flying sword, could be completely devoured in a day; these past few days have passed and they've been craving it for ages.
It took Lu Li a week to finish refining it.
His body was not yet worthy of such a divine object, so he absorbed it very slowly.
But the Divine Soul have already passed the test.
As soon as Lu Li had a thought, his hand was enveloped by his mind.
The previously untouchable inspiration was caught in their hands and transformed into a handful of clear spring water!
