Chapter 128 (1/2)

”F*ck your political lies!” someone in the parade immediately refuted.”You're just trying to kill us, who cares about the destruction of the world and all those lies you tell. I'll kill you before that.”

The crowd was outraged, constantly cras.h.i.+ng against the fragile blockage.

”Everyone, please calm down.” Hang wiped off the bean sized drop of sweat drooping from his temple. ”You are all welcome to tell us your grievances, but no violence...”

Hang continued in explaining, but a bullet deprived him of the opportunity to continue.

The gunshot was sharp and clear. Hang fell on his back with his palm pressing on his chest.

”For justice!”

That gunshot triggered a riot. The crowd raged, howled, and soon the violence level rose for the military started shooting...

Things were little better in the area Chang stood.

Though he was less capable when compared to those super lives he'd met, sneaking through these average humans wasn't a hard task for him at all. Before the crowd completely lost control, he broke through like a bullet and made his way to the research inst.i.tute.

Those who were guarding the door recognized Chang's face and so the next bullet didn't fly toward him but the guy who came after him, an unlucky fellow.

The citizens generally had bad vision, and the street were packed with these kind of people. Most of the gunshots harmed the other rioters, and those who got injured were stomped beneath others' feet.

Chang only noticed that the riot had lost control when he turned his head after he entered the inst.i.tute.

He had no trouble accessing zones of the inst.i.tute with his ident.i.ty. Soon, he found his way to Qing Shui's lab, where the man was mixing the reagents, still with a cool head.

”Everyone's on edge, I don't think the riot is going to stop.” Without mentioning anything about the amphibia, Chang put his focus on the protest.

”It's... it's not a big deal, let them be.” Qing Shui sighed. ”If this didn't happen today, it would have happened on some other day anyway.”

”Then what are you going to do about it? I think you still have a storage full of hard tacks, can't you just hand them out to calm them?”

”It's not going to work, those are for soothing the conflicts within the military. We don't have any spare to calm the people.” Qing Shui shook his head. ”So let them be. Once they tire themselves out, they'll just dismiss themselves on their own.”

”I don't think it'll go the way you plan.” The scene was still vivid in Chang's mind.

”I'll make another announcement if they don't stop by tomorrow. Except the military who has the antidote, my bacteria bomb will kill everyone in the city.” The man's lips twitched. ”I think that will solve the problem once and for all.”

”Wait, you don't really need to do this.” His words put Chang in shock.

”I'm just trying to prioritize issues to be solved. Compared to the Evil Moss, the citizens are doing no harm at all.” Qing Shui finally put down the testing tube in the rack and withdrew his hands from the rubber gloves of the enclosed testing box. ”Tell me, what happened to you?”

”I was... I was okay. As soon as your message was delivered, the ancestor of the amphibia, or we should call him Liu, he released me on the spot,” Chang said. ”You are a living deterrent.”

”Really?” Qing Shui picked up Chang's arm, his tone full of excitement. ”See, not only did he send you back, but he also owes you a favor for bringing this gift to me.”
