Lei Jianguo brought a large force and made a short-distance space jump to Old Street.
Gao Yuan stood in front of the space transfer gate, watching the entrance gradually disappear, and couldn't help cursing, "Lei Jianguo, you son of a bitch."
The Legion Commander ran off whenever he wanted, saying that as long as a new Legion Commander could be elected, it didn't matter who it was.
Bullshit! When the Central Star comes to settle accounts and the Legion Commander is dead, is he, the miserable second-in-command of the government, supposed to take the blame?!
Gao Yuan looked up at the high space rift, his face livid. He had twisted the space rift's jump coordinates, but this space couldn't close!
Judging by the speed of the blurry distorted shadows sliding outside the space rift, the Zerg would be able to enter in less than two minutes!
Gao Yuan clenched his teeth. Even taking several deep breaths couldn't calm his heart, which was pounding so hard it felt like it would leap out of his chest.
He paced back and forth quickly, finally unable to resist calling Charlie An's communicator again. "Can't you go any faster?! I have a really bad feeling!"
In response, Charlie An hung up immediately.
Gao Yuan stared darkly at the communicator. He wanted to throw it on the ground but forcibly restrained himself.
The next second, a subordinate called in, panting, "Director Gao, the Spiritist Association members said..."
"Screw them!" Gao Yuan, who usually considered himself refined, couldn't help but curse. "Tell them they are criminals now! Condemned prisoners with guillotines over their heads! They have no right to make any demands!"
"If they don't clear the Zerg Beasts from the commercial center in five more minutes, I'll shoot them too!"
Gao Yuan's hands trembled with anger. These idiots! The vice president had been controlled by the Zerg for years, and they hadn't noticed a thing!
Because of this spy, several hundred thousand people had died on the Seventh Sub-Star this time!
Shameful!
Gao Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, his veins bulging. This was the biggest disgrace the Federation had faced in decades!
Hearing the continuous shelling in the distance, Gao Yuan forcibly suppressed all emotions and called Chu Zhi, gritting his teeth. "What about those garbage who are committing suicide attacks?!"
Chu Zhi poured a box of medicinal powder over his arm, which had a large chunk of flesh missing, and said calmly, "They're all social garbage with no Spiritual Power or very weak Spiritual Power. The attack orders were communicated one-on-one. I've already applied for StarNet's highest authority to check the locations of the remaining garbage."
"Kill one to warn a hundred," Gao Yuan said coldly. "I can give you live broadcast permission for the planet."
"No," Chu Zhi quickly refused. He looked up at a suicide bomber shot dead not far away, his tone cold and rational. "They've lost all reason. Suppressing them with violence will only drive them crazier. They have nothing left to lose."
"Then what do we do?" Gao Yuan stared at the space rift in the sky, for the first time showing unease. "Chu Zhi, I'm telling you, I think this is going to be a big problem—a problem no one can solve!"
"We have to concentrate our combat power as quickly as possible!"
Chu Zhi walked to the side of the suicide bomber's body, looked down at his frozen, crazed expression, and said, "Broadcast the battle at Old Street live. You know, Commander Huang is a pure land in the hearts of this trash. And there's a highly legendary Exploration Master on Old Street."
"Maybe it can stir whatever reason they have left."
"Your niece is there too. If anything happens..." Gao Yuan frowned slightly. "It took a lot of resources to suppress your family's scandal before."
"It doesn't matter," Chu Zhi said, stepping on the suicide bomber's unclosed eyes, kicking them contemptuously. "People with E-level Spiritual Power should be praying they survive now."
Chu Ran was placed at the very back.
Aunt Huang and the others sat in front of her, with special medics treating their wounds.
Lei Jianguo commanded his men to fire wildly.
There was almost no one left on Old Street. The remaining buildings and facilities were irrelevant; vanishing alongside the Zerg Beasts was their best fate.
"It's like watching fireworks," Aunt Wang sighed, clutching her arm.
"Yeah. The savings you've accumulated over the years are turning into fireworks too," Chu Ran added abruptly.
Her eyes had returned to normal, showing no sign of anything unusual.
Aunt Wang choked. "Xiaoran, I think you're being a bit too aggressive right now."
Aunt Huang watched the medic pour medicine onto her leg without a word.
"After such an intense battle, a little aggression is normal," Chu Ran said calmly, then suddenly looked at a familiar person nearby. "What are you doing with your Light Brain?"
"In this situation, the common people are very panicked. I want to tell them everything is under control." Kong Shengxu paused to explain.
"Turn it off," Aunt Huang looked at Kong Shengxu, her eyes calm enough to make one feel guilty. "Live broadcasts will only cause more panic."
"Right," Aunt Wang downed a bottle of energy supplement in one gulp. "This is just an appetizer. The main course is still coming. If we're unlucky, we'll all end up on the table."
"Aunt Wang, you're quite rational," Chu Ran said flatly as she stood up and snatched the Light Brain from Kong Shengxu's hand.
Aunt Wang fell silent.
The nail that sticks out gets hammered. It wasn't a good time to speak.
"This is a government order," Kong Shengxu frowned. "Please don't obstruct official business."
"Order?" Chu Ran looked up, her tone absurd. "You, a soldier, following a government order? Does the Legion Commander know?"
"You..." Kong Shengxu started to argue but was suddenly intimidated by a huge pressure, his heart trembling.
Aunt Huang stood up. The flesh on her leg had only half-regrown. "The Zerg are coming."
Aunt Wang and the others also stood up, gripping their weapons tightly.
A tremendous roar came from the air.
A Sixteen-Legged Blood Spider tore through the space-time rift and crawled in. Behind it were even larger and more terrifying Zerg figures.
