"Cheating"

Early in the morning, aside from the distant booms from the suburbs, today's story officially began.

The people living "nearby" had long grown used to it. Not far from here was a spacetime wormhole, and vicious giant bugs often fell out of it.

The military garrison tightly encircled the wormhole, remaining on alert twenty-four hours a day. Once any bugs fell out, they were guaranteed to be blown to pieces.

Even if one survived, it would be sent to a laboratory for waste utilization, laying the groundwork for advances in biological science.

Cannons fired almost every day. When the fighting was urgent, the blasts could continue all day without stopping. Of course, there were also times when not even a gunshot was heard for three to five days.

There were quite a few military districts of varying sizes stationed throughout Xijiang alone.

People who had come from afar, driven by curiosity, tried every possible way to capture something on camera.

Their efforts paid off. Since large swarms of bugs often broke out of the laboratories, they really did manage to film bits and pieces.

The moment the videos were posted online, they exploded!

With the current welfare system nearly complete, many people had nothing better to do at home, so stirring up trouble became their greatest source of entertainment.

Against this backdrop, a small group of "bug lovers" emerged, claiming that those enormous bugs were humanity's good friends and should not be treated this way...

This enraged a dog lover whose pet had been eaten. The two sides traded barbs online, fighting with great gusto.

Kurumi browsed the morning news. One "bug lover" had actually gathered a large crowd to protest at a small military garrison, only for a massive swarm of flying bugs to pour out of the wormhole
