Chapter 27 Humans Don't Thank Luo Ji
Cheng originally thought his propaganda plan wouldn't have much effect on Earth, but unexpectedly, the bullet he fired turned into a missile after flying for a while.
Therefore, sometimes you shouldn't rush things. Let things play out for a while, in case your opponent just explodes on their own.
For the first ten days of the thirty-day deadline given by Luo Ji, there was almost no unrest on Earth. Even if there was, it was very small in scale. Earth remained peaceful and prosperous, and people believed in the authorities and in the great savior who could lead them to the next victory.
However, by the middle ten days, the situation had changed. Various demonstrations and unrest began to occur frequently. Although the scale was not large, the frequency of occurrence was gradually increasing. Some people even shouted slogans such as "We should decide our own destiny and not let a few people decide it" and "We are willing to accept the peace conditions of the Trisolaran world".
However, these small-scale disturbances were quickly suppressed by human authorities and did not cause much of a stir.
As time went on for the next ten days, the scale and frequency of the unrest increased dramatically every day.
Because in just a few days, that damned Luo Ji will press the switch, subjecting them all to the Dark Forest attack.
Among those who instigated the unrest were many people who, in the first ten days, believed in the authorities and in the savior Luo Ji.
With more than twenty days left, they could still confidently believe in the great savior Luo Ji, but now that there are only a few days left, they suddenly panicked.
What to do? The deadline is almost here, and the Trisolarans still haven't given in. Are we really going to die this time?
I don't want to die, I want to live well, I want to keep living!
As the countdown drew closer, many people became increasingly panicked and fearful, their initial fearlessness of death and willingness to perish with civilization turning into a desire to live.
Many people say they are not afraid of death, but that's because death is not yet near.
Just like in the world of "Covering the Sky," those emperors and sovereigns, upon attaining enlightenment in their first incarnation, proclaimed: "This emperor's might shakes the universe, invincible in this world, here to protect all races of the cosmos, aspiring to become an immortal." Forbidden Zone Supremes? They're nothing but a bunch of useless trash. Dare to cause trouble, and they'll all be annihilated!
Those good-for-nothings can't become immortals; they can only hide in forbidden zones. But I am different. What they can't do, I can do.
In his later years in his first life: Don't panic, I can fight again. I made a mistake in the last life, but I will definitely become an immortal in this life. Slay myself into the forbidden zone to become the supreme ruler? Not even a dog would go!
In my second life, in my later years: Fellow Daoists in the forbidden zone, could you please make room for me?
Although the humans on Earth in the Trisolaran world did not possess the fighting power of the Great Emperor, their experiences were quite similar. In just over twenty days, they experienced the transformation that took tens of thousands of years for an Emperor to become a Sovereign.
For the first ten days, don't panic. Trust the authorities and the savior. The mere Trisolarans will be easily dealt with. For the next ten days, things will be a little strange, but there's still no need to panic. For the last ten days, damn it, things will be very strange. Neither the authorities nor that damn savior can be relied on!
In the panic of impending doom, some people have turned to Buddhism and worship gods, praying for salvation from these legendary beings, even though the technology of this era is already very advanced.
Some people have come to believe in the Trisolaran civilization. They are willing to accept the peace terms offered by the Trisolarans and welcome the arrival of the great Trisolarans.
Some of the organizations that believed in the Trisolaran civilization actively planned to sabotage the gravitational wave antenna, but failed and were discovered and suppressed by the authorities.
Some people curse the authorities and Luo Ji, claiming that it is the incompetence of the savior that has put them in danger.
Luo Ji's home address was exposed by hackers, and some rioters stormed the area. Fortunately, the authorities had already moved Luo Ji and his wife and daughters away.
In just over twenty days, Luo Ji went from being hailed as a great savior by the entire nation to being labeled a "tyrant," an "executioner," and a "devil"—labels that should have been attached to him more than half a century later, but were attached to him now.
Many people cursed him for setting a 30-day deadline to drag everyone down with him, calling him an "executioner" and a "devil," and for refusing to relinquish the power of the sword-wielder, calling him a "tyrant."
Luo Ji's past experiences were made public, and more people came to curse him. How could such an irresponsible and power-abusing prodigal son be able to control the switch of the gravitational wave antenna? How could he decide the fate of civilization?
Many people took to the streets to protest, demanding that the United Nations and the Solar System Fleet dismiss Luo Ji and revoke his power as the Swordholder.
The statues of Luo Ji that stood in various city squares were toppled, the slogans praising Luo Ji in the city were cleared away, and a large number of books such as "The Quotations of Mr. Luo Ji, the Savior", "The First Half of Mr. Luo Ji's Life" and "Take You to Understand the Most Authentic 'Wallfacer' Luo Ji" were burned.
Luo Ji, once a top figure on Earth and hailed as the greatest man in human history, has become less than a maggot in a sewer in the eyes of these people.
What Cheng Yuan found even more ironic was that while these people were cursing Luo Ji and violently attacking his home, many others remained silent, coldly observing everything, with few speaking up for Luo Ji.
It seems that Luo Ji never saved them, it seems that they never idolized Luo Ji, it seems that by remaining aloof at this moment, they can remain unharmed in the apocalypse...
The people of this world never thank Luo Ji!
When the United Nations and the Solar System Fleet select human elites to board the ships and leave the Solar System as the seeds of human civilization, the turmoil on Earth will be greater and more frequent.
Why should he be chosen over me, just because his grades are better and his IQ is higher?
Despite knowing that the official choice was correct, many people still couldn't let go of their obsessions when faced with life and death. They stormed the official selection points, wanting to kill the selected human elites.
Why are you allowed to board the ship and leave, while we have to stay on Earth and wait to die?
Since we're destined to die on Earth, let's all die together! If I don't live, neither will you!
The authorities could only mobilize troops to suppress the unrest. In the continuous turmoil, the death toll exceeded 500,000, and countless others were affected.
The turmoil has consumed a lot of the government's energy, but the government and Luo Ji's determination has not wavered in the slightest. There is even a view among the human elites that the bigger the turmoil, the better!
Because the Trisolarans are guiding the unrest behind the scenes. If the Trisolarans hadn't released various information to the public and incited public opinion, how could the unrest have become so big?
The Trisolarans are desperately trying to create chaos and use the people to pressure them, which shows that they are in a hurry. Their urgency is definitely because the thirty-day deadline is approaching, and they have no other way to deal with them.
The greater the turmoil, the more anxious the Trisolarans are. In that case, they don't need to rush. As long as they grit their teeth and persevere, they will surely achieve victory.
Many high-ranking human leaders were not only worried about the situation, but also became optimistic, believing that the Trisolarans would surely submit to them when the thirty-day deadline arrived.
Once the Trisolarans back down this time, we must find a way to severely punish them. The Trisolaran supreme ruler who manipulates the sophons in the Trisolaran world must step down, and Yun Tianming must be sent back to face trial.
