The Great Riot of '44
When the light sword was inserted into the stone wall, Wu Chang had already stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Mei. With tears in his eyes, Wu Chang said to Ye Mei, "You're a princess, why don't you hurry up and escape? What are you coming back for?"
"I'm worried about you, aren't I? I wanted to give this lightsaber to you, but it's still being wasted..."
"Alright, I understand your intention. You'd better leave quickly. If you can get out of here safely, please take care of my friends for me..."
After finishing speaking, Wu Chang ruthlessly pushed Ye Wei a push and loudly shouted "Go, hurry up..."
At this time, Saiwen suddenly burst out laughing, his eyes streaming with tears. "Why? Heaven, why are you playing tricks on me? I was forced by Gu Bo to join this damn suicide squad, wasn't it all just to save the princess?"
"But how can this be? You, a noble second princess of the empire, are standing together with the people who kidnapped you? I'm the one who rescued you, okay? Can't you speak reasonably..."
Xie Wen's emotions were on the verge of collapse, ever since he met Wu Chang, his life had never been so thrilling and dramatic.
He shed blood and sweat to save the princess, only to be met with cruel reality. The princess didn't even appreciate it, instead flirting with the kidnapper.
"Heavens and earth, I, Saiwen, have offended who? You don't even give me a way to live?" As he spoke, a fierce glint appeared in Saiwen's eyes. "Since that's the case, then no one will survive, we'll all die together..." He finished speaking, pulled out a large-caliber shotgun from behind his back, and fired with a raised hand.
Although his eyes were already blurry, he still had a keen sense of danger. Instinctively, he pulled Ye Mei behind him and concentrated all his strength into his right fist, striking the air with three consecutive punches.
At this time, the steel balls in the shotgun had formed a bullet curtain under **'s urging, and the small steel balls flew towards the two people in front at supersonic speed. Although the killing shotgun was one of the oldest weapons, its close combat power had never been surpassed.
Saiwen didn't know why Wu Chang still wanted to throw punches, wasn't the best way to defend against a hail of bullets to lie down? Why was he still punching at the air?
Unfortunately, Sevyn's doubts didn't last long. When he saw the three dark red ripples that appeared on Wu Chang's fist, he was stunned. Although he didn't know what those ripples were, his keen senses felt a strong energy fluctuation in the air.
"Fire?" By the time Sayven shouted out this word, his entire body had already been engulfed by raging flames.
No one could have imagined that the crisis in front of them would be resolved by such a method. Those three dark red waves were flame patterns with temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees, and the scorching fire elements instantly melted the steel balls flying in mid-air, even vaporizing some of them.
Flames swept through the bullet curtain, countless steel balls burning fiercely in the air, turning into iron oxide powder. These powders, apart from making the air in the mine tunnel even more unbearable, had lost all their lethal power.
"You're actually a Standout? You've been deceiving me all along?" Ye Mei was discerning, she saw through the trick in the sudden attack at a glance. Being able to cast fire magic in close combat was already a high level among Standouts.
How precious are the outstanding ones? Anyway, Ye Mei has not had an outstanding one under his command until now, even if it is a top-notch master like Gu Bo, who is just a pure martial artist. The real outstanding ones are all on the battlefield, and they have all been invested in various wars against the Hunter Star Circle. They are the empire's most precious wealth.
Severn, who was burning all over his body, also heard the princess's exclamation. His knees softened and he knelt to the ground, filled with remorse in his heart. If only he had known that Wu Chang was an outstanding person, Severn wouldn't have dared to oppose him even if it meant death. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world. In the intense pain brought by the flames, Severn lost all consciousness and finally turned into a pile of ashes on the ground.
"Water, it feels like water..." Wu Chang snatched the water bottle from Ye Mei's hand and poured the whole thing onto his eyes. It took him a good half day to recover.
"What about the others? How are they?" asked Wu Chang with a tense tone.
"It's okay, before I arrived, the cannibal tribe's reinforcements suddenly rushed over, and I don't know how you managed it. These cannibals didn't hesitate at all, charging forward under a hail of bullets. Those little rascals are probably already torn to shreds by now."
Ye Mei looked at Wu Chang with a puzzled expression. "You can command the Man-Eating Tribe and are even an outstanding hidden expert, known as the 'Ghost of Wu Chang' among the miners. They say that whatever crystal you want, you can get it just by reaching out your hand. Is this true? How do you have so many secrets?"
He rubbed his itchy eyes, not directly answering Ye Wei's question. "Let's go, we'll hurry back to the surface and join your troops there, where you'll be safe." After finishing speaking, he turned around and led Ye Wei towards the next mine tunnel.
Just as Wu Chang and his men were rushing towards the ground, a riot was escalating in Huangyecity.
The current Huangyecastle has become a masterless land, Ye Tian is locked in space and cannot command his army, while Ye Fei is in the underground control room, commanding his subordinates to search for those nerve gas bombs with great difficulty, fearing that a single mistake will destroy the entire planet.
As for Gu Bo, this cold-blooded general only had the princess's safety in his eyes, and he could throw others' lives to one side, he wasn't interested in stabilizing order.
Once no one is in charge of the world, it will soon become a riot, and in the chaos, the evil in human nature will be fully released, and looting and arson will spread throughout the city almost at the same time.
The mutinous soldiers who emerged from the underground base now clearly knew their fate, the princess was not caught, and their direct superior, Mine Supervisor Luo Da, also went missing. This group of abandoned children knew they had been abandoned. Under the psychology of breaking pots and smashing dishes, these chaotic soldiers were even more ruthless than the thugs under Wen's hand.
One by one, the shops were smashed open, and valuable goods were looted. When the shop owners showed a little resistance, these rioting soldiers would shoot them at once.
It's not just robbery, they also started fires, perhaps thinking that the flames would destroy evidence of their crimes and allow them to escape punishment.
Gradually, looting was no longer enough to satisfy them, and these soldiers who had lost their sanity began to rape and slaughter indiscriminately, as long as it allowed the beast in their hearts to be unleashed, they dared to do anything.
"What kind of place is this? This is the most notorious exile for prisoners in the Maotou Star Circle. Usually, there are soldiers stationed here to prevent any major chaos, but today the soldiers are leading the riot, so how can those prisoners not take advantage of the situation?"
A group of miners and **molecules** rushed onto the streets, venting all their grievances. Those mine owners who exploited them on a daily basis became the targets of their anger, not only were their property looted, but even their lives were not spared.
When Wu Chang brought Gong Yuemei out of the entrance of an underground room, what he saw was a chaotic human hell.
"Come on, there's a stunning beauty here, don't let her get away...". It was unclear which rascal lifted his head to discover the beautiful Ye Mei, but these thugs hadn't seen such a lovely woman in years. Under their primitive and beastly instincts, more than thirty rioters surrounded them.
At this time, the unpredictable eyes had already caught fire, because he had seen it, in the circle of scattered thugs, a little girl covered in blood was lying flat on a wooden box, looking like she wouldn't survive. Her two legs were open, and there was no secret garden in between, only splashing blood.
"Beasts, they're all beasts, and yet they won't even spare a child of ten or so years old..." The figure moved as swiftly as lightning, dashing into the crowd with fists flying like thunderbolts amidst the rioters.
One by one, skulls were smashed to pieces, and hearts were shattered alive. The brutal slaughter brought a hint of sanity back to those thugs, and when only five or six people were left standing, they finally realized that the person in front of them was not a sheep, but a god of killing.
"Run, the evil spirits are coming to kill us, let's run quickly......" The survivors looked at the unpredictable and chaotic situation, rolling and crawling in all directions, fleeing in disarray. The unpredictable chased after them, unable to catch up with those on the left or right, and could only watch as they escaped.
At this time, Ye Wei had already walked to the side of the dead girl. She looked at the little girl with her eyes wide open and staring angrily at the sky, and suddenly felt a throb in her heart. She had never seen such a resentful gaze before, that gaze seemed to pierce through the thick clouds on Huang Xing like a sharp knife.
The little girl, only fourteen or fifteen years old, had her lower body completely soaked in blood, leaving only a large empty cavity. The girl's chest was also bitten by these human beasts, creating two huge wounds that exposed white ribs.
Ye Mei's nose suddenly turned sour, and tears actually fell down. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she took off the expensive cloak draped over her body and gently covered it over the girl's body.
"Little sister, close your eyes, I'll avenge you..." Just these few words caused an astonishing thing to happen. The girl's eyes actually closed without anyone touching her, and in that moment, the resentment on the little girl's face completely dissipated.
Ye Mei's fingers lightly tapped the black onyx bracelet, and a holographic image suddenly appeared in the air, Gu Bo's figure appearing out of thin air.
"Princess! You're back? I'll send someone to protect you right away..."
"It's all right, I'm safe now. There is a prominent figure protecting me... Now I order the Imperial Forest Army Marines to land immediately and enter the city to quell the riot..."
"Robbers are killed without pardon, murderers are killed without pardon, rapists... all arrested and executed by slow slicing..."
"Yes, execute the command immediately" Gubei would never hesitate to carry out the Second Princess's orders. With a single order, the landing craft north of Huang E City opened its hatch first, and thousands of well-equipped and loud-roaring marines swarmed down, riding large armored vehicles towards Huang E City.
At this time, every place where there were people living on Huangyue planet all echoed with the loud voice of Gubang.
"Whether military or civilian, surrender immediately, kneel down on the spot, and put your hands behind your head. Those who disobey will be killed without pardon."
