Countdown to return 72:00:00.
Midnight.
"The Jindai Consortium must give everyone an explanation!"
"Jindai, come out!"
City Hall of City 20 was surrounded so tightly that not even water could pass through, with thousands of people gathered there.
The staff inside dared not go home, as stepping out of City Hall would invite beatings and brick-throwing.
During the 11 days of communication blackout in City 10, people only knew a disaster had occurred, but they didn't know what kind of disaster it was or why it happened.
No consortium came out to explain anything.
Some reporters reached City 10 but were blocked outside the city walls by a cold metal storm.
During these 11 days, people were in confusion.
It was at this time of universal confusion that the President and dozens of senators, along with hundreds of celebrities, released a statement that hammered the point home in the public opinion.
