This is what Killer Demon taught him in the channel.

They had only seen Jose on the official NPC guide.

In a foreign land, the most important thing is language; as long as language can facilitate communication, many unnecessary conflicts can be avoided.

"Guerrilla... Are you the guerrillas?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Upon hearing the name of the guerrillas, many people's eyes lit up, as if they saw a lifeline.

Although Jose and his crew were chased into the swamps, the people of Hokuma had heard of the guerrillas. A few years ago, someone sneaked out to join them, but there was no news afterward.

"Uh... something like that."

Big Ass buzzed and whined, not daring to tell them about the news of the guerrillas' demise.

However, once the guerrillas' reputation alleviated some of the villagers' fear, they couldn't help but start asking questions, leaving him uncertain on how to respond.

He came forward and steadied the situation, because time was running out, and they couldn't afford to linger here any longer.

"Brothers and sisters from Cuba, listen to me.

This place is not safe; although we have defeated the enemies, they could bomb this location at any time, and those reactionaries will return."

Upon hearing this, fear reappeared in the villagers' eyes, causing unrest.

Although players intervened, they had used quite a lot of stones to attack Skai, so they were partly responsible for the major's death. If the drug dealers' army returned, the hundreds of lives here would certainly be at risk.

They hoped the players' army could stay and protect them, but that was impossible.

The only valuable asset here was the medicine factory, and the engineering team brought by Red Barrel had already started dismantling equipment to transport it to Pig Bay's port.

After all, we can't leave the equipment on such a dangerous frontline. As for the villagers here...

"So please follow us southward. We will rebuild the factory in Pig Bay and provide ample food and accommodation."

Since the Truth Department agreed, they naturally wouldn't go back on their word; besides, more than half of the villagers here were skilled workers who could directly take up jobs, so it's not a losing deal.

"Building a factory? What are you going to produce? The same stuff?"

Even if the villagers weren't eligible or financially able to buy drugs, they knew exactly what they were producing.

"No, we need medicines that can save lives."

"What a load of crap."

Lin Miao grumbled a few curses looking at those headlines in the European newspaper.

These media are good at nothing but taking things out of context and fabricating rumors.

The scene at the time was perfectly clear to those present; even if they hadn't said a word and directly shot those civilians, no one could say anything.

On the battlefield, it's either you die or I live.

However, he anticipated this; otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed players to broadcast the battlefield live.

As more and more people download this software, rumors in the face of absolute facts would be as fragile as paper, easily pierced.

The reason why rumors spread widely and become increasingly absurd, and why even the most low-IQ opinions have believers, lies solely in one thing:

[Restricted Channels of Information Acquisition]

The internet, as the most flourishing ground for rumors, is actually the real tool to dismantle all rumors.

And at this moment, before Lin Miao, Lucy was leading Song Zhaomei, former Voodoo Gang members, and dozens of hacker players in Cyberspace to construct what could be called the largest internet project since its inception, even throughout its century-long existence in Cyberspace.

This team could almost say they are on par with the network departments of large corporations like Huang Ban, though the development speed is still slow.

Project name—[Horizon]

Voice of the Horizon is one of its sub-projects.

The truly valuable aspects of the internet lie in its efficient transmission of information, information sharing, and open source.

Here, people can freely communicate, ideas spark during collisions, fantastical creative ideas are born from discussions, and then realized, with developments resembling miracles.

The capital giants naturally would not ignore this new land. They establish platforms, attract users and creators, steal user data, collect network resources, then use copyright or physical means to suppress competitors, forming monopolies.

Manipulating public opinion, making the internet a moral low ground where various extremist groups oppose each other, outrageous remarks abound.

Finally, everything was overturned by a lightning strike from Bartmos, the god of the internet.

This result can only be said to be the desired outcome.

However, to completely liberate human society's productivity, the network is an unavoidable hurdle.

Lin Miao casually summoned a sub-program.

[Heart of Horizon]

Upon expanding it in front of him, it was a blank page, nothing there.

He summoned Kasper who was strolling in Plaza One and said:

"I promised you to publish the thesis assets left by your colleagues under their name. Now is the time. You'll be the first user here, and help out by uploading all technical papers we found in the old web along with our company's database, categorizing them, then establishing hyperlinks between them…"

AI communication does not require words; in the blink of an eye, countless bytes flow.

Kasper instantly understood what Lin Miao intended, looking incredulous, his tone complex.

"I know you're all a bunch of lunatics... but I didn't expect you to be this insane… they won't let you go."

They aren't just tangible organizations like companies but also many intangible entities.

Compared to them, even the Black Wall appears insignificant.

To this, Lin Miao merely smiled.

"It's up to people, Dr. Kasper. I never said I'd disclose this project to the world now. Someday, I will incorporate all human society's network data into this, bringing interpersonal communication distance to zero. Imagine, what a grand spectacle that would be."
