Chapter 74 – Shocking First Livestream! (3)
Amidst the cold wind howling at Mount Everest, the blood pressure of China’s national mountaineering team soared as they gazed at the huge and majestic arc sitting at Mount Everest’s summit…
“A-An illusion?”
While firmly holding the ice pick in his left hand, the mountaineering team’s captain, w.a.n.g Fuzhou, rubbed his snow goggles with his trembling right hand. He then pressed down on the intercom by his ear and asked, “E-Everyone, are you seeing that?”
“I see it…”
“Ca-Captain…what is that?”
“That girl is actually wearing a cheongsam at the summit…”
“Are they humans or ghosts?”
Taking in a breath full of oxygen, w.a.n.g Fuzhou suppressed his fear and hoa.r.s.ely said, “Little Zhang, contact the regiment department. Everyone else, turn on your cameras and record everything!”
“Understood.”
“Un-Understood…”
“Captain, shall we withdraw?”
…
Meanwhile, at the summit, Chen Yu fell into deep thought as he looked at the mountaineering team that had started falling into chaos. A moment later, he squatted down on the snowy ground, pointed at the mountaineering team, and looked at the camera, saying, “Everyone, look at what I found. A team of wild mountaineers!”
[Looking to find out how big of a trauma the mountaineering team received…]
[c.r.a.p! Look at the flag on their shoulders! It’s the national team!]
[Can someone give me an answer? Did the host really travel to Mount Everest’s summit?]
[Facts have proven that there are no places where internet celebrities cannot reach.]
[This special effect really is out of this world…]
[I refuse to believe this is a special effect even if it kills me!]
[Can you grow some brains? Just watch for the excitement. I can’t believe some fools actually think this is real.]
[It takes a fool to know a fool.]
[c.r.a.p! Have you become stupid from watching too many sci-fi movies?]
[If you still don’t understand, just watch the UP’s previous videos.]
[When I was paying attention to the UP, you were still in your mother’s womb! No matter how real everything looks, they are still fake! Read more books, fool!]
[Idiot!]
[r.e.t.a.r.d!]
[Stop fighting, you guys…]
Chen Yu paid no attention whatsoever to the cursing war going on in the bullet comment section. Instead, he had entirely focused his attention on the mountaineers. Seeing that these people had taken out cameras and were recording him, he chuckled and said to the camera, “It seems my presence has frightened them. Let’s see if we can interact with them.”
After saying so, Chen Yu inhaled and prepared to speak. However, just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly realized that the other party would record his real voice if he spoke. Hence, he walked up to Little Peach and spoke into her ear, “I can’t speak. Help me shout at them.”
“Alright.”
After Chen Yu mumbled some lines into Little Peach’s ears, Little Peach hurriedly nodded and shouted at the mountaineers below, “Hey~~”
“Hey~~”
“Hey~”
“~”
The echo spread from the summit. Immediately, the mountaineers looked at Little Peach in horror.
However, ignorant of the mountaineers’ fears, Little Peach licked her lips and continued shouting, “Is there a boat~~”
“Is there a boat~~”
“Is there a boat~”
“Boat~”
“~”
Mountaineers: “…”
Livestream viewers: “…”
Rumble…
Rumble, rumble…
In an area that had acc.u.mulated thicker snow than Mount Everest’s summit, a large patch of snow suddenly loosened and started sliding down the mountain under the force of gravity. And as the loose snow continued sliding down, it b.u.mped and loosened even more snow from the mountain, eventually creating a ma.s.sive avalanche that swept down the mountain like a tsunami!
[c.r.a.p! An avalanche?!]
[Is this also a special effect?]
[No piece of snow is innocent.]
[This is much more exciting than watching a movie!]
[Everyone, don’t leave the livestream room! DouYu’s server seems to have crashed. My friend can’t get in as soon as he exited.]
[They posted a notice. It’s a server maintenance.]
[Bilibili’s site crash as well. It seems only this UP’s livestream room is operating without problems. Why is that so?]
[I have a bold guess…]
Several minutes later, the avalanche fell silent.
The summit of Mount Everest became quiet as well.
Looking at the avalanche’s distant remains, the mountaineers promptly discarded the items in their hands and raised their hands in surrender. One of the mountaineers even tore off the white cloth on his jacket and frantically waved it in the air.
Chen Yu: “…”
“King, it seems they’re cheering for me,” Little Peach said excitedly.
“They can’t wait to call you ‘death’! What did you shout so loudly for?”
“I was afraid that they couldn’t hear me. Should I continue saying the remaining lines?”
“Forget it. Connect the portal to the next location. I lack oxygen right now. My body is also freezing cold.”
“Where to?”
“Qinghai Plateau.”
“Yes, sir!”
While Little Peach hurriedly manipulated the Star Portal, Chen Yu looked at the camera and said, “As the environment of Mount Everest is too extreme for my body to handle, we will be heading to Qinghai Plateau. The atmospheric pressure there isn’t too high, and it’ll let me recover. As for those national mountaineers, let’s not scare them any longer. I am very eager to find out what they will say on their social media afterward.”
As Chen Yu was done speaking, a bright flash came from the Star Portal. The next moment, the scenery inside the portal changed from that of a desert into a gra.s.sland.
After turning around and giving the frightened mountaineers one last glance, Chen Yu waved at them before stepping into the portal.
…
At the same time, inside an unlisted courtyard in Beijing…
The middle-aged team leader of the special situation team wore a pale look on his face as he picked up the satellite phone on the table and dialed a number.
“This is the special situation team’s office! Contact those mountaineers as soon as possible! Have them keep everything they saw confidential! Nothing is allowed to be uploaded onto the internet! Also, have all their camera equipment sent to Beijing. Don’t wait for them to descend the mountain. Send a helicopter to retrieve the equipment first.”
After disconnecting the call, instead of returning his gaze toward Chen Yu’s livestream, the middle-aged team leader dialed another number.
“This is the special situation team’s office. I order you to block all news and information related to Transdimensional Review on the internet! Set up keywords and control public opinion! Do not let it spread no matter what!”
After disconnecting the second call, the middle-aged team leader promptly dialed a third number.
“h.e.l.lo? Xiao Li? Are you back from Siberia? I’m back already. The technical team sent in a report just now. The first location Transdimensional Review appeared in was the seaside of Qingdao City. Don’t head to Jinzhou anymore. Don’t return to Beijing either. Head straight to Qingdao, contact the local public security department, and collect all information on people named w.a.n.g Chun, or people whose names start with w.a.n.g Chun.”
“Hu…”
After making a series of phone calls, the middle-aged team leader’s throat became parched. Gulping down the cup of tea before him, he returned his gaze toward Chen Yu’s figure, which was displayed on the screen before him, a tired and dark look appearing on his face.
Compared to when Chen Yu was merely uploading videos on Bilibili, it was much more difficult for them to control the effects of a livestream.
If they did not restrain the relevant information from flowing onto the internet, with the high-tech products Chen Yu reviewed, it would be very easy for him to cause a sensation within a short period.
“An Interstellar Portal…” Covering his face, the middle-aged man agonizingly mumbled, “How can such a thing possibly exist? Isn’t he basically an alien?”
Knock, knock, knock.
Suddenly, knocking sounds came from outside the office’s door.
Lifting his head, the middle-aged team leader ma.s.saged his face slightly before saying, “Enter.”
“Leader, the relevant professors of Tsing Hua University and Beijing University have been summoned,” a woman with short hair said she pushed open the door. She then pa.s.sed on the doc.u.ments she carried in her arms to the middle-aged team leader before continuing, “Also, this is the latest technical report.”
“Mhm.” Nodding, the team leader accepted the report and started reading it seriously.
The report was several dozen pages long, and every page contained a detailed a.n.a.lysis of Transdimensional Review’s videos.
“Leader…” the woman spoke hesitantly before stopping.
“What is it?”
“Ho-How are things coming along on Big Sis Wu’s side?”
Pausing his reading, the middle-aged team leader said, “She’s back from America already. Don’t worry.”
“In that case, I can rest a.s.sured. Leader, I’ll head down first.”
“Mhm.”
After the woman left, the middle-aged team leader was alone once more inside the office.
Once the team leader was alone, he tightly gripped the stack of papers as he felt his head swelling.
After Transdimensional Review’s livestream today, it was easy to tell that the entire world would tense up. A terrifying storm that would sweep across the whole world was gradually taking shape right now…
Meanwhile, he, was standing in the eye of the storm.
One could easily imagine how much pressure he was under right now.
“Interstellar Portal… Portal…”
Looking at the huge metal arc on the screen, the middle-aged team leader faintly felt as if he had grasped onto something in the darkness as a spark of light flickered in his eyes…
