I'm live-streaming Pokémon science popularization on New World.

Lin Dao's words were broadcast live to millions of viewers.

For the first time, many people are truly beginning to think: if we treat these "monsters" as beings with emotions, families, and the ability to protect children, then were the fears and hostility of the past three months misguided from the very beginning?

The live stream lasted for a full two hours.

During the event, Lin Dao and Li Hao showcased various aspects of the rescue: medical staff demonstrated how to treat burns on Pokémon, firefighters shared their experience of working with Pokémon to extinguish fires, and even a few daring Pokémon approached the camera to curiously examine the glowing box.

By the time the live stream ended, the number of viewers had exceeded an astonishing figure.

"That concludes today's live broadcast," Lin Dao said to the camera. "But the rescue efforts will continue, and reconstruction will begin. Tomorrow, if conditions permit, I will continue to show you the progress of the post-disaster recovery."

"Finally, I want to say thank you to everyone involved in today's rescue efforts, whether human or Pokémon. You have given me hope."

The camp fell into a brief silence the moment the live stream ended.

Then, someone started clapping, first a few scattered cries, then it spread.

Firefighters, medical personnel, special operations team members, city officials, and even Pokémon who could understand the meaning of this action.

Growlithe let out a loud bark, Pichu and Zigzagoon jumped around, Kangaskhan nodded slightly, and even Salamence let out a low, approving growl.

While Lin Dao was broadcasting live, revealing part of the truth to the public, on the top floor of the luxurious Xingrong Group building in the center of Rongcheng City, Chairman An Xin was falling into utter madness and despair.

His hair was disheveled, his expensive suit was wrinkled, and he frantically dialed, yelled, and pleaded on several different satellite phones, but all he got were busy signals, cold messages indicating the phones were switched off, or frantic excuses from the other party saying they were "barely able to save themselves."

"It's over...it's all over..." An Xin slumped into the leather chair, his face ashen.

He was not only a front man for certain foreign forces on an economic level, but also deeply involved in the domestic logistics and intelligence support for this egg theft operation.

He thought it was a foolproof plan, which would please his master and allow him to strike at domestic dissidents and seize more benefits. However, he did not expect Bao Feilong's ferocity to be far beyond his expectations, nor did he expect the relevant departments to react so quickly and decisively, and Lin Dao's live broadcast to so ruthlessly expose the truth.

He leaped up and rushed towards a hidden door behind the bookshelf, where he found another set of identity documents, cash, and the keys to a fully fueled SUV. He had to leave the city immediately, leave Great Xia!

However, as he frantically opened the hidden door, before he could even take a step out, the heavy solid wood door of the office was slammed open from the outside with a loud bang!

Fully armed special police officers descended like divine soldiers, instantly swarming in and pointing their guns at him.

The lead officer brandished the arrest warrant, his voice as cold as iron: "An Xin! You are suspected of multiple crimes, including espionage. We are now arresting you in accordance with the law! Cease futile resistance!"

An Xin's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, too weak to even stand up, as the cold handcuffs locked his wrists.

At almost the same time, at a secret airport in Rongcheng disguised as a high-end private club.

A small jet aircraft has started its engines and is preparing to taxi onto the runway.

Beside the plane, a well-dressed, gloomy-looking middle-aged man, An Xin and Wang Yafei's direct superior, the senior spy chief codenamed "Rainbow," was anxiously urging the pilot.

He had just received an internal warning that several secret channels had been cut off at the same time. He knew that the network he had been operating in Great Xia for decades had probably been exposed and he had to leave immediately.

However, just as the cabin door was about to close, countless blinding headlights and searchlights suddenly shone in the darkness surrounding the airport!

Several armed helicopters roared into the low sky like giant iron birds, blocking all escape routes.

"Listen up, you inside! You are surrounded! Lay down your weapons and stop resisting immediately!" A stern warning came from the loudspeaker.

Rainbow's expression changed drastically. He pulled out his pistol, wanting to fight back desperately, but his bodyguards were instantly hit by tranquilizer darts fired from who-knows-where and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, well-trained special forces members stormed in from all directions, swiftly subduing him and putting a hood and shackles on him.

This swift and decisive cleanup operation was not limited to Rongcheng.

When the live stream ended and the camp gradually quieted down, leaving only the necessary personnel on duty and some injured Pokémon still under observation, Ye Aiguo found Lin Dao, who was checking the status of the Pokémon egg for Salamence.

"Mr. Lin," Ye Aiguo's attitude was more respectful than before, "The higher-ups mean that this incident involves a wide range of issues and requires time to thoroughly sort out and rectify. However, the leaders asked me to convey their highest level of gratitude for your enormous contributions during this crisis. Formal commendation and meetings will be arranged as soon as the situation becomes relatively clear internally."

He glanced at the Pokémon around Lin Dao who clearly trusted him, and said sincerely, "You can rest and stream from the camp for the next few days. We will ensure the safety of this area and provide all necessary logistical support. Also, the alloy and special tools you purchased have been delivered and inspected."

Lin Dao nodded, returned the Pokémon egg to Salamence, explained that it was about to hatch, and then said to Ye Aiguo, "Please thank the leaders for me. I'm all set. I also need some time to process this experience and think about the next step."

Ye Aiguo saluted and turned to arrange the follow-up matters.

Lin Dao walked to the stream, gazing at the slowly flowing water, holding the warm, moist Gene Wedge in his hand.

Everything that happened today was incredibly informative and impactful.

The spy's plot, the wrath of the salamander, the manifestation of the gene wedge, the initial contact with the military, the public's reaction... each of these events is enough to change many things.

He looked up at the starry sky, where the stars seemed exceptionally bright tonight.

"The road ahead is still long," he murmured to himself.
