Amidst the online discussions, the Great Xia Official, after consulting with the miraculously conscious survivors of the crash and eyewitnesses, released a statement.
【Great Xia Official: The divine dragon currently trending online is not Daidai's parents. It has been confirmed that this divine dragon is Daidai himself.
Currently, Daidai is receiving treatment at Dingdian Hospital for severe injuries sustained while preventing the plane crash.
Fortunately, due to Daidai's immediate rescue, there were no casualties among the passengers on the plane.
The fallen aircraft also caused no harm to the residents of Shen Province.
For this miracle, we must express our sincere gratitude to our guardian beast: Ao Yuan (Daidai)】
Below this statement was a photo of Ao Yuan on a hospital bed. Upon seeing this, and carefully reading the announcement, netizens saw Ao Yuan covered in bandages and their excitement intensified even further!
"That hundred-meter-long giant dragon was Daidai?"
"Daidai actually suffered such serious injuries saving the crashed plane, my goodness."
"Daidai truly lives up to being Great Xia's guardian beast."
"He's only been born a few days, and he's already done so much for Great Xia. I'm about to cry."
"Wuwuwu~ I don't care, Daidai is my idol from now on."
"Idol? I declare, Daidai is my faith from now on!!"
"Daidai, well done!"
"Daidai, get well soon, I still want to..."
...
Upon seeing the official announcement, countless people spontaneously headed to the hospital where Ao Yuan was staying, hoping to visit him. However, they were all turned away by hospital staff, who cited the need to avoid disturbing Ao Yuan's rest. Despite this, some remained undeterred. It was only after the officials announced that Daidai's condition would be updated daily for the public to see, that the enthusiastic Great Xia citizens slightly calmed down.
Meanwhile, in the capital of Great Xia, inside a conference room, people were already seated, the atmosphere somber.
"Tell me, what exactly has been happening lately," Elder Long asked, looking at everyone in the room from his position at the head of the table.
"Currently... the situation is not optimistic," Minister Bai began, letting out a sigh.
"It appears the fog from last night was a sign of spiritual energy revival."
"Yesterday, in zoos across the country, there were massive riots among the animals."
"If we hadn't managed to contain it, this would have already become public knowledge."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Great Xia! They were the highest leadership of Great Xia, privy to many secrets. They also withheld much information, not out of unwillingness, but because revealing it would directly destabilize societal order. As the highest leaders of Great Xia, they would not wish to see such a scenario.
"This is a video of animals causing a riot in one of the zoos. Please take a look," Minister Bai said, activating the projector. He then projected the computer screen and opened a video.
In the video, the night was dark, and a dense fog swirled. The entire zoo was enveloped in a thick, milky white mist.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss~"
"Moo! Moo! Moo~"
As the fog thickened, countless green lights suddenly appeared above in the video. These were the eyes of the animals confined within the zoo. Then, as if in unison, they began to ram the fences!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One impact after another echoed in the silent night. Soon, the zoo's night shift staff, alerted by the noise, came out to investigate. Upon witnessing the anomaly, the staff member attempted to pacify the animals. However, instead of calming down, all types of animals began to roar at him as if they had gone mad. Eventually, after the disturbance alerted most of the zoo, police arrived and administered tranquilizers. Yet, sometimes, a single injection of tranquilizer had no effect, and it took several doses for the animals to finally fall asleep. At this point, shining a flashlight on the areas they had impacted revealed them to be severely damaged.
Seeing this, Minister Bai continued, "After this incident, I interviewed the night shift staff. According to him, many of the animals that went berserk were ones he personally cared for and had a good relationship with. But last night, they seemed not to recognize him. Furthermore, the strength of these animals had significantly increased; with their original strength, they would not have been able to inflict such damage on the protective netting."
"This is just one zoo; similar animal riots have occurred in other zoos across Great Xia. Some zoos have already had animals escape, and if not controlled promptly, they could pose a significant threat to the citizens of Great Xia."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. A chilling sensation crept up from their feet to the base of their skulls. They understood that as humans grew stronger, so too did animals. However, even enhanced humans might not be able to contend with these strengthened beasts. If the beasts could withstand gunfire, it would spell a devastating blow to Great Xia. Fundamentally, not every citizen of Great Xia could own a firearm.
"Perhaps... it won't be long before 'demons' truly appear." Minister Bai surveyed the room, and seeing that everyone understood the gravity of the situation, he stated plainly.
