Chapter 1262: Chapter 713: Take a Look at the New World for Me! (Part 3)
âWhen I moved in, District Three was already different. I saw the lights come on, I saw garbage being carted away in trucks, I saw the streets starting to become clean, I saw people upholding justice.â
âIf justice is the sunlight, then District Three, which has been in the abyss of darkness for hundreds of years, is finally being illuminated by the sun. Later, I gradually came to know that this sunlight didnât penetrate by itself, but was brought into the abyss by an organization called the Parentsâ Meeting.â
âBut even at that time, I still believed that the Parentsâ Meeting was using these most basic methods to win people over, and they must have new schemes. Iâve seen too many ambitious people, so much so that I see this world through tinted glasses.â
âUntil I personally experienced that 11-day-long disaster.â
âThey, with a ferocious demeanor, drove the residents to seek refuge in the wilderness, while they stayed behind.â
âThey only slept four hours a day, collecting clothes, medicine, and weapons. At first, they used guns to fend off the rat tide, but once ammunition ran out, they could only use kitchen knives and benches, and finally, their teeth.â
âThey kept dying.â
Gao Wen sat at his workstation, looked up at the photos he had pasted in front of him, and couldnât help but feel his eyes moisten.
âEvery time I recall that disaster, itâs like experiencing a miracle.â
âI saw family members rush to the front line time and again without regard for their own safety.â
âI saw that so-called parent Qing Chen return to the dangerous city time and time again, rescuing team after team of refugees, only resting when he was utterly exhausted.â
âI saw the refugees become no longer numb. They returned to City No. 10 to fight alongside the Parentsâ Meeting, and I put down my camera and rushed to the front line.â
Gao Wen wrote for six hours straight, producing a ten-thousand-word essay.
He concluded by writing: âI wanted to interview Qing Chen, but he refused. So I went to interview âXiao San,â one of the leaders of the Parentsâ Meeting in City No. 10, and I asked him what the ultimate ambition of the Parentsâ Meeting was.â
âXiao San answered me: Some people become strong to rise above others, but they, they become strong so there are no people below others.â
Gao Wen wrote: âNow, the Parentsâ Meeting has suddenly been defined as a criminal organization and is facing a nationwide crackdown by the Federation. As I look at this devastated world, I just hope the New World the Parentsâ Meeting painted for me arrives soon!â
âThose who bring warmth to the masses cannot be left to perish in the wind and snow;â
âThose who seek well-being for the people cannot be left to fight alone;â
âThose who pave the way for freedom cannot be left stranded among thorns.â
âPlease do not allow each consortium to arrest the Parentsâ Meeting at will, I beg of you all.â
âLong live the New World!â
Upon writing this, Gao Wen reviewed his manuscript multiple times, finally condensing the fourteen-thousand-word essay to ten thousand words, and then clicked publish on the Hope Media APP.
He sat at his workstation, very aware of what sending out such a strongly positioned article would mean.
But so what?
Gao Wen picked up his coat hanging on the back of his chair and turned to walk out of the Hope Media Building.

Hope Media is the most authoritative media within the Federation, bar none, simply because they always uphold the principle of reporting facts with impartiality; all their reports must undergo meticulous, rigorous investigation before being published.
When Gao Wenâs article went online, the Federation was in an uproar.
He showed everyone the true Parentsâ Meeting, not the demonized Parentsâ Meeting by Jindai and Deer Island.
Especially the residents of District Three can deeply feel that every sentence in Gao Wenâs article is true.
The changes in District Three of City No. 10, they have also experienced.
In City No. 21, the residents of District Three watched their Yun Liu Tower being destroyed, watched their district fall back into darkness.
They look down at those Parent Association Members being escorted away below.
Gao Wenâs article seemed to awaken something.
At this moment, someone opened a door and shouted in the hallway: âEveryone, letâs go stop the Jindai Consortiumâs troops. They donât dare to open fire on millions of people in District Three. As long as we all go, nothing will happen! Everyone, we canât just watch them turn off the Yun Liu Tower, nor can we always rely on the Parentsâ Meeting!â
âThe Parentsâ Meeting has done so much for District Three and even saved us from a disaster. We canât just watch them be taken away! Hurry, we must do something!â
In an instant, residents from buildings in District Three rushed down, at least one-fifth took action after reading Gao Wenâs article.
Then, more onlookers, driven by an inexplicable emotion, also joined the rush.
They did not completely do so for the Parentsâ Meeting, but the Parentsâ Meeting once gave them a brighter world, and now they can no longer endure the darkness.
They must do something, for themselves, for future generations!
As these residents rushed downstairs, the Jindai Consortiumâs troops also grew tense, raising their guns and shouting angrily, âBack off! Back off!â
But they dared not open fire, because no one dared to bet on whether these âriotersâ would swarm and kill them in fury or disperse in panic.
Amidst the throng, someone shouted: âGet out of District Three!â
âGet out of District Three!â
âGet out of District Three!â
The cries were repeated over and over again, with more than a hundred thousand people stretching endlessly through the city. Alongside the streets, residents who dared not rush down also opened their windows to shout.
The entire city awoke.
The Garrison Forces used tear gas, only to find someone had preemptively prepared soaked blankets to cover the gas grenades!
Hidden Parent Association Members within the crowd had their concealment measures ready!
Residents threw whatever they had at hand to confront the Garrison Forces, who requested permission to open fire, but were told not to escalate the conflict, else risk halting all northern industry operations.
Ultimately, the Garrison Forces erupted in anger: âRetreat, call for reinforcements to suppress this place anew!â
No one expected that there would be something the consortiums couldnât achieve within the Federation, that face tens of thousands of District Three residents, they could only retreat in panic.
They didnât even take away those already captured Parent Association Members.
This victory was bought with the blood and lives of the Parentsâ Meeting; they finally awaited the moment of public awakening.
