Chapter 372: 290. Great Xia dares to draw the sword, successfully promoted
Not long after.
The lively "Polar Bear Blessing and Spring Welcoming Parade" came to an end in this community.
Amid the ravages of the cold wave disaster, it was a rare moment of joy for the people of this community.
Especially the star of this welcoming parade, surprisingly, was a rare mutated polar bear.
The officials also gave families with children in this community an extra child welfare gift package.
With twelve years old as the cutoff, each child could receive a package.
The more children a family had, the more packages were distributed.
Each package included ten pounds of rice, one pound of pork, a bag of candy, and two vouchers redeemable for a set of children's clothing.
Although the gifts weren't numerous, each item was something that ordinary families typically needed.
If there were no children under twelve in the family, then there was no package.
This kind of operation from the officials was clearly encouraging childbirth.
At the community gate.
Xiaobei lay down obediently, and several children reluctantly climbed down from the saddle, turning back longingly at every step as they left.
From their expressions, this brief ten-minute experience would become a cherished memory of a lifetime.
"Click!"
"Click!"
The sound of cameras clicked again.
A lot of cameras were aimed at the mutated polar bear.
Numerous onlookers around held up their phones to capture the mutated bear.
At this moment, the mutated bear could absolutely be considered a star.
But Xiaobei's eyes showed an expression of full melancholy.
It's so torturous for a bear!
Will these days ever end?
It desperately missed the past when it could run freely across the boundless icefield.
Qin Deguang stood by, sneering coldly, saying: "You might not know what the Arctic Icefield looks like now?"
Through the power of the Ice Beauty, he had peered into the thoughts of the mutated bear.
Xiaobei paused and instinctively turned its head, a trace of curiosity in its eyes.
Qin Deguang said: "After the big earthquake passed, another ten days or so went by and more bizarre monsters appeared on the icefield.
"Among them is a kind of monster that looks very much like a polar bear, but its belly has a large mouth about a meter long, from which many tentacles can be released. This monster is called the 'Tentacled Monstrous Bear'.
"Traces of Tentacled Monstrous Bears have appeared in all the places where polar bears live, and these creatures particularly like to hunt polar bears.
"It is expected that within a month, polar bears in the Arctic and its surrounding regions will all be wiped out.
"By then, apart from Great Xia's group of polar bears and some polar bears kept in zoos around the world, they will be nowhere to be found."
Xiaobei was dumbfounded.
Qin Deguang snorted again: "If Mr. Spirit Crows hadn't sent you to Great Xia, you would likely have already become food in the mouth of those monsters.
"You surprisingly are dreaming every day about running freely on the Arctic Icefield. I'd say you'd only be running for a moment."
Xiaobei let out a "huff".
Qin Deguang glanced at the mutated bear: "Don't be unconvinced. Do you think your strength alone is enough to live well on the Arctic Icefield?
"Wild animals in the Arctic have almost died out. You would struggle even to find food if you went there.
"Moreover, with monsters in the Arctic increasing, how much do you know about these monsters? Do you know how to deal with them?
"Even if you could kill one or two monsters, could you kill a hundred or two hundred?
"If you were ambushed and injured by a monster, without anyone to treat your wounds and food scarce, you'd become increasingly weak. How long do you think you could last?"
Xiaobei fell completely silent.
The unique awareness of beasts told it that this biped wasn't lying.
Qin Deguang continued: "Let's go! Guests from several countries in the middle of the East Continent are visiting, follow me to receive them."
After speaking, he headed for the electric bus outside the community.
The mutated polar bear hesitated, then obediently followed and swiftly boarded the bus.
This bus had been modified, removing some seats to create a "bear den" at the back.
It slipped into the bear den and lay motionless on the soft cushion.
It was clear that the bear's mood wasn't good.
This time, the "Spring Welcoming Parade" wasn't just in this city's community but spanned four provinces and over thirty cities at the Western Border of Great Xia.
The mutated bear would gain a comprehensive understanding of the Western Border of Great Xia through this parade, from now on rooting itself in Great Xia.
Soon.
"Vroom~"
A slight vibration was heard.
The bus started.
Through the floor-to-ceiling window, Xiaobei watched the rapidly retreating scenery outside, its pupils filled with confusion.
Have I really misunderstood?
Was being brought to Great Xia by Mr. Spirit Crows truly a stroke of luck?
"Huff!"
The mutated bear sighed deeply like a human.
*
Half an hour later.
In a conference room at City Hall.
Qin Deguang, along with the mutated bear, met representatives from the five countries in the middle of the East Continent.
Normally, it would not have been Qin Deguang who greeted them, as it didn't match the principle of status equivalence.
But everyone knew that Qin Deguang was a person favored by Mr. Spirit Crows and had received personal support from his superiors.
Therefore, he was fully qualified to appear here as Mr. Spirit Crows' representative.
Qin Deguang smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Great Xia."
He immediately gestured: "Please have some tea!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
An impeccably realistic Ice Beauty suddenly appeared behind him out of thin air.
