Chapter 1262 The Start of the Conference
The next day.
Rea, Isaac, and Stella dressed in the same style. White shirt, black skirt or pants, and black tuxedo. They were attending the press conference as the group that contributed the most.
Not only the local media but also international media were invited to cover this conference.
There was a middle-aged man with white hair. He was still brimming with energy, but he felt like he had just aged for decades due to the current situation.
Of course, at such a level, they were broadcasted Live so that everyone could understand the situation better. It could also put some relief in their hearts after knowing the situation.
They all looked at the empty podium while anticipating. The number of viewers this time exceeded one million, and it kept increasing.
The incident was that intense because more than two million people were reported missing. People were afraid that they would be the next victim, so they watched this to understand the situation better.
MustacheGuy: Damn. I’ve been waiting for this. What’s going on right now?
Reigor: Chill dude. They’ll start soon.
BukuM4c4n: Will our country experience something like this too?
Imuimu: There he is!
The president stood in front of the podium and said, “Before we start the conference, I’d like to extend my thanks to the Star Group for providing help to the refugees. It’s due to your effort that most of the people have survived this ordeal. I can’t thank you enough for your assistance.
“Due to personal reasons, the team leader of the Star Group can’t attend the conference, but Miss Nagasawa Rea has taken the role. And Miss Stella, as the supervisor from the Star Group.
“I’d like to thank the rest of the people who have helped the people in this country. With all of your help, we can still continue to fight this anomaly.”
The middle-aged man solemnly bowed to convey his thanks.
Hairudin: Damn. Props to the Star Group for rescuing them.
Myan-Myan: Right. The Star Group has never ceased to amaze me.
Mole50: Bravo! Bravo!
Stella and Rea nodded their heads while Isaac glanced at the side, finding an old man standing on the opposite side. His face was fierce as if he had prepared to destroy anyone that entered the stage.
“Who is he?” Isaac whispered to Rea.
“Someone from the democratic party. After five questions from the journalists, we’ll take three more questions from that man.” Rea answered.
“So, there are the limits of questions?”
“Just for time and current situation. They can’t hold us for that long due to us helping them.”
“Okay.” Isaac nodded.
Meanwhile, the president continued his speech.
“In that case, let me explain the situation briefly.” The president took a deep breath. “After the phenomenon, it’s reported that roughly over 2.4 million people are missing.
“Thanks to the Star Group’s efforts, over 1 million people have been recovered. According to the testament, around 1 million people have been killed by the monsters, and fifty thousand people are still waiting to be rescued.
“After getting their location, we’ve made a joint operation with the United States to rescue the remaining people. And they will arrive by tomorrow.”
“That’s all. If you have any questions, raise your hands.”
The people in Skynet were frenzied. The comments flooded the Livestream. A part of them just pressed “F” for respect for the people who lost their lives in this incident. Another part thanked the Star Group for rescuing that many people before another hundreds of thousands of casualties.
However, some of the comments were not to everyone’s liking as they insulted the Star Group.
Haiskal500: What the heck? Did the Star Group abandon those fifty thousand people? Can’t they bring them too?
Wakakatori: Did they know what it means to abandon 50,000 people? They can fill more than half of the soccer stadium. How could they abandon those many people?
There were more and more hate comments, but there were some that attacked these haters too.
REscuePLease: Dude. They save more than one million people. Can you even do that?
FemaleSupremacy400: My friend went to Argelia yesterday and heard that those people didn’t believe them and chose to stay. And the Star Group seemed to only have less than fifty people on their sides. With their spontaneous response, they invited people from the refugees to help them guide most people. And it’s impossible to ask for help because the distance to the nearest teleportation circle is more than a day away. By the time they return, most people would have died due to dehydration.
Rondolord: Those guys are jokes. They can’t even save ten people in their entire life, but they still think they can criticize these few people who managed to save more than a million people.
There was a war in the Livestream. However, the haters soon lost their numbers due to the overwhelming number of people that laughed at them.
All the journalists hurriedly raised their hands as the president pointed at one of them.
“Will the people who are still there survive? It’s said that they’re getting surrounded by monsters.”
Stella rose from her seat and nodded to the president.
“In that case, I’ll allow Miss Stella from the Star Group to answer your question.”
“The process is different, eh?” Isaac asked.
“Each country has their own procedure. It’s nothing new at all.”
“Fair point.”
While Isaac and Rea talked, Stella answered the question.
“We’ve got the report from our hunting group. According to them, they have managed to repel the monsters. Unfortunately, it appears that these people refused to move because they were too scared and couldn’t believe us. You can confirm it with the people we’ve managed to rescue.
“So, all we can do right now is to wait for the military to arrive to rescue them. We’re ready to cooperate with the military to find the scattered people too.”
Another journalist was selected to ask the question.
“How about the resources? Even though the monsters have been repelled, there is an immediate danger because the people haven’t had any water and food for the past three days. A normal person won’t be able to live on without water for that long.”
“Our hunting group will try hard to help them from procuring the water and food to the daily necessities. And we’ll also ask the remaining people to help us as well so that everyone can return to their home alive.”
Another one came in and asked, “Is there no way for us to send people to that place from this country?”
Since the question for him had arrived, Isaac rose from his seat and replaced Stella. He then asked another person to turn on the Skylink to show a few pictures.
