Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 704 - 404, the information dominance of Great Xia_3

Dongli Kingdom's second largest city, Yunfu City.

Li Zhixun also downloaded the Disaster Guide app.

The purpose of his download was not to see the "world beyond the window," but to understand the despicable tactics of the Great Xia people.

Looking at the headline "death toll exceeds 3 million," he confirmed his judgment: "Sure enough, it's Great Xia's propaganda."

He casually scoffed, "To do such a thing to a neighboring country at times like this, it's truly a shameless nation."

Earlier, Li Zhixun had read the bulletin released by his country's government, which clearly stated that Guangren City had encountered a storm, resulting in communication disruptions.

The official rescue forces are currently rushing to Guangren City, and the casualties remain unclear.

However, he thought, it's just a storm, how destructive can it be?

Besides, with millions of people staying at home in Guangren City, not out in the wilderness, how could hundreds of thousands die?

This is obviously impossible!

Li Zhixun sneered at this, "Great Xia people are just a bunch of liars."

With a critical mindset, he clicked into the special segment and began browsing more detailed information.

"The ultra-low temperatures brought by the frost disaster caused massive power line disruptions in Guangren City, leading to power outages in parts of the city within five minutes..."

This was one piece of information.

Li Zhixun scoffed, "Power lines are made of metal, how could they be broken by low temperatures? Our government doesn't even know the specifics of Guangren City, and the Great Xia people supposedly know exactly what happened within five minutes, how fake is that?!"

This piece of information was accompanied by a video, he clicked once, and the video started playing immediately.

The camera fully showcased a segment of power transmission lines, from frost accumulation to breaking, taking only one minute.

The video footage was unexpectedly clear as well.

Li Zhixun shook his head, "Too fake! The storm in Guangren City is so intense, a drone couldn't possibly fly, let alone capture such clear footage!"

He swiped down with his finger and saw another title: "Extreme Cold Qi resulting from the frost disaster could cause rapid loss of body temperature, rendering cold resistant suits ineffective."

He tapped the screen, and another video began playing.

The scene showed a street in a residential area, where a figure wearing a cold resistant suit walked out from a building.

The accompanying text explained, "The electricity in this community was disrupted; this victim decided to leave home to check nearby power facilities."

The figure walked tens of meters, and a layer of white frost covered his body, his movements slowing increasingly.

He seemed to notice something wrong and turned to go back, but it was already too late.

The figure walked another dozen meters and finally collapsed to the ground.

Text appeared, "He has entered into severe hypothermia."

The figure crawled a few more seconds in the snow, ultimately staying immobile.

Text again appeared, "He's dead."

Li Zhixun chuckled, "This video is well-made, sure looks almost real."

This fellow was convinced that Great Xia had concocted lots of fake videos for propaganda purposes.

At this moment, the comment section below the video had several comments, piquing Li Zhixun's curiosity, making him click to take a look.

The first comment was: "I cried watching this! I'm currently trapped in a frost disaster zone, I just saw people freeze to death with my binoculars, my family is burning furniture to keep warm, not sure how long we can last."

The comment displayed the location as—Guangren City.

Li Zhixun didn't even believe a punctuation mark: "Great Xia surely hired quite a few actors!"

He clicked on the comment and replied, "Is it true?"

A second later.

The other party sent a picture, displaying burning pieces of wood, with a family of four around the fire pit.

With only a simple smoke duct setup, the room was somewhat smoky.

Books were burning at the edge of the fire pit.

Li Zhixun glanced once and felt a jolt.

One of the book covers seemed to be none other than a school textbook.

Li Zhixun used to help his niece with homework, so he remembered what the textbooks looked like.

He began to feel a bit swayed, "This doesn't quite feel like fake propaganda."

Could Great Xia have burned their own country's school textbooks just for a show?

He thought it was unlikely.

Li Zhixun replied again, "Why are you not asking the government for help?"

The other person replied, "Before the signal went down, I called for rescue, but the call couldn't go through, I also posted online seeking help, yet my post got blocked shortly after, Guangren City has been abandoned."

Li Zhixun found it hard to believe, "But the government released a bulletin, saying Guangren City suffered communication interruptions due to the storm, and rescue teams had been dispatched."

The other replied again, "The government surely knows the true situation in Guangren City, but they've deliberately hidden it from the citizens."

Li Zhixun was silent.

A few seconds passed.

He saw a freshly made comment: "I'm still alive, when the frost disaster just hit, I managed to call the rescue line and detailed the situation to the government, including my neighbors freezing to death, many have died in the city, the government surely knows the situation in Guangren City well."

This comment also came with a picture.

It showed two adults and a child lying on the street, thick frost had already covered them.

Li Zhixun's left hand holding the phone started to tremble.

For the first time, he realized something horrific seemed to be happening in Guangren City, and what the Great Xia said about "death toll exceeding 3 million" might actually be true.

For a moment, he sat in a daze and couldn't help cursing, "Damn the government!"

Li Zhixun pondered for a while, then felt the need to do something, to expose the government's sinister face.
