Chapter 202 Launching the Public Opinion War

While Liang He and her friends were discussing how to proceed, Holder had already learned what had happened from Silver Shuttle.

"Liang He means that the rebels will not give up easily if they fail to achieve their goal of using public opinion to exert pressure. We should pay more attention to the direction of public opinion."

The protected area generally does not have anyone specifically monitoring the StarNet's dynamics.

To be precise, before Liang He appeared, the reserve had always kept a low profile, except for being targeted by the rebels because of Cedril and his group.

"In addition, she felt that the primary goal should be to wake up the poisoned and unconscious animals, so that even if the other party talked until they lost their temper, we could easily deal with them."

After conveying Liang He's message, Holder stood silently to the side, observing Huo An's expression.

So much has happened recently, leaving everyone exhausted and overwhelmed, but the one under the most pressure is actually District Chief Huo An.

It's hateful that the rebels, after failing with one plan, resorted to another. If Liang He's friends hadn't intervened in time to buy them time to react, the situation would definitely have been escalated by the online trolls.

"I understand, Holder. You go back to the Seventh Service Area and protect Liang He and the others."

Holder was brought in to help because the animal that had previously fallen into a coma due to poisoning mutated into a ferocious beast.

Now that the ferocious beast has been locked up again, Holder, as Liang He's bodyguard, should stay by her side.

"it is good."

Whether as the district head or his uncle, Holder had no choice but to obey Hoan's orders, so he agreed with exceptional ease.

"Apart from the animals that have mutated into ferocious beasts, the animals that are still unconscious will continue to be observed by Lan Zhuo and Xu Yi. Once the antidote sent from Blue Star arrives, they will be treated immediately."

Now all hope rests on the antidote sent by Pharmacist Qiu. If the poisoned and comatose animals can be awakened, especially Xuan Jiao, then the rumors circulating online will naturally be dispelled.

In particular, there were comments demanding that the nature reserve and even the federal government severely punish Liang He for failing to properly care for the iron-eating beast.

“Kerry and I will continue to investigate Xiong Yu’s whereabouts. If we can catch him and confirm from him that all of this was done by the rebels, I believe netizens will stop focusing on this matter.”

The rebels were notorious and had a very bad image in the eyes of the public. The fact that the innocent animals were poisoned by the rebels and fell into a coma could easily arouse public outrage, and naturally no one would blame Liang He, a mere zookeeper.

Before they could find the antidote and capture Xiong Yu, Huo An and his team could only let the 'bullets' fly for a while longer and focus on doing their job well.

Fortunately, the reserve is well-protected, and ordinary people cannot sneak in, so there is no need to worry about any netizens who might have a moment of weakness and cause trouble for Liang He.

"Useless! They hired so many online trolls, but it was completely useless!"

Commander Nick's good mood vanished instantly.

He had previously asked the black wizard about his plan of action after the poisoning, and the black wizard suggested using public opinion to force Liang He to break with the Federation and stand on the opposite side of the Federation, thereby cooperating with the rebels.

Nick initially thought the method was quite good, especially the thrill of manipulating people's hearts, which fascinated him.

Unexpectedly, before the nature reserve could even react, a single comment easily turned the tide.

"Nick, why are you so angry?"

The dark wizard, who had just finished a round of experiments, originally wanted to check on the progress, but unexpectedly, he ran into Nick angrily reprimanding his subordinates.

After he understood the situation, he finally had an unexpected expression. "It seems they also have a mastermind behind them."

In fact, the black wizard's desire to use public opinion to create momentum was the result of careful consideration after a long period of observation.

He discovered that compared to the propaganda wars that Earth was accustomed to, the Federation was like a toddler learning to speak in this regard; with just a little guidance, netizens' thinking would follow others.

It's like a palace intrigue champion stumbling into a world where no one knows what palace intrigue is; for a dark wizard, this is undoubtedly a powerful weapon.

"But don't worry, those netizens have just had their attention temporarily diverted."

Shifting the focus doesn't mean the facts don't exist.

When netizens come to their senses, the nature reserve and Lianghe still need to give a response that satisfies them.

"Then what should we do now?"

Nick thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of plunging the enemy into misery without firing a single shot, and now he hoped to take this opportunity to thoroughly humiliate Hoan and his gang and avenge their previous grievances.

"If it drags on until the Ministry of Information Security intervenes, those online trolls might not be effective."

Once the Ministry of Information Security discovers that the rebels are involved, it will surely crack down on them. At that time, the online trolls' comments will be blocked, and it will not be easy for them to stir up trouble again.

"Then let's strike first and continue attacking Liang He to draw netizens' attention back to her."

Nick was right. The dark wizard stopped pretending now. If he could, he would prefer Liang He to be drowned in netizens' spittle.

After all, judging from the words and actions of the rebels, Liang He was his biggest rival.

If she were to actually discover a way to control animals without spending extra money and effort, the black wizard's army of ferocious beasts would become a joke and be regarded as a pawn by the rebels.

The dark wizard had no desire to return to his previous life of wandering and homelessness; he thoroughly enjoyed being fawned over by everyone.

"Liang He, as a zookeeper, used Cedril and the others to make money and build herself into a well-known blogger. Now she has even caused the iron-eating beast to be poisoned and fall into a coma. This alone is enough for netizens to keep harping on her."

Previously, due to Liang He's special status and the preferential treatment she received from the Ministry of Information Security, netizens subconsciously overlooked these matters. Now that they have brought them up, there will definitely be dissatisfied netizens who will take this opportunity to attack Liang He.

Moreover, this world is never short of jealous people and those who resent the rich.

Even if only one-tenth of netizens are incited, given the sheer size of the population, it will still be a massive upheaval.

"As long as genuine netizens are swayed by the narrative and targeted at Liang He, even if the Ministry of Information Security intervenes and online trolls are silenced, it won't affect the direction of public opinion."

Even when these netizens realize that someone has been gagged, they may become even more angry, further intensifying their dissatisfaction and suspicion towards Liang He.

Even if the authorities intervene, netizens will only conclude that Liang He is being protected and that she must have something wrong with herself!

"In addition, pin the matter of the ferocious beast on Huo An and his group."

The dark wizard looked at the comment that turned the tide and sneered, thinking that Nick really hadn't seen much of the world.

Online, you can't just believe whatever the other person says. Unless you have solid evidence, it's all about who can better distort the truth and make netizens believe you. That's the most important thing.

"Put it on Huo An? How?"
