Principal Pu's Home
Principal Pu's home.
Pu Xueli knocked out the ignorant teenagers, notified the Security Department, and then simply left them at the door.
He closed the door, locked it, and walked back to the dining table—the whole sequence of movements was as smooth and fluid as flowing water.
He sat down in his seat and laughed heartily, "They're just a few young people, it's nothing. Everyone, keep eating, don't let this affect your mood."
He paused, then added, "I'm definitely going to file a complaint against the local Security Department tomorrow. What's wrong with that chief? How could he let armed thugs come in and cause trouble?"
Lu Bai didn't refute it, after all, he had never been to the central area and didn't know much about the local customs.
But just then...
The music and dance program that was playing on the TV in the living room suddenly switched signals.
The screen that appeared after the transition had no host, no voice-over, and not even the yellow-on-black headlines that are typical of news reports.
Yes, but the scenes of massacres were so brutal they were nauseating.
Gunshots and screams rang out from the television screen, accompanying the visuals.
It's clear that the photographer chose a great position; the image quality is clear and stable, encompassing almost the entire Clock Tower Square.
Moreover, the filming technique is excellent, fully conveying the panic and despair in the crowd, as well as the cold and ruthless attitude of the drone swarm.
Pu Xueli jumped to his feet, staring wide-eyed at the television screen.
His home wasn't far from the Administrative Building, and he often passed by there, so he could tell where it was at a glance.
Lu Ziyi instinctively reached out and covered Lu Qingyan's eyes, not wanting the little brat to see such a bloody scene.
Lu Bai raised an eyebrow and stared at Pu Xueli with a slightly strange look. "Is this what you meant by 'don't worry'? The protest rallies that come several times a year?"
Pu Xueli's lips twitched, followed by an unusual surge of anger.
As the principal of the Deathmatch Campus, he was quite knowledgeable and naturally knew that the video recording must contain elements of misinterpretation.
Regardless, the fact remains that the drone swarm carried out such a brutal massacre of civilians.
With a stern face and controlling his anger, he said, "Lu Bai, you guys continue eating. I'm going to the city council."
After saying that, he walked straight out of the room.
Lu Bai chuckled involuntarily, "Seeing a scene like this, who could possibly eat?"
He gave a casual reply, and without waiting for Pu Xueli's reply, he followed after him on his own.
It's safe to assume that this video wasn't just shown on Pu Xueli's television.
If nothing unexpected happens, the entire shelter should already know about this.
In front of the Clock Tower Square.
The surviving and fleeing protesters were arrested one after another.
Under the intimidation of a large number of Exoskeleton Armor soldiers, they dared not resist and could only obediently put on handcuffs and follow the guidance of the Security Personnel to board the bus with barbed wire installed in the windows.
Besides that, the square was filled with long, black body bags.
Judging from the bulging appearance of the bags, each body bag contained at least one corpse.
"Fuck you, hurry up."
A Security Personnel raised a rubber baton and struck a middle-aged man with a bruised and swollen face.
The middle-aged man was probably terrified by the previous massacre. After letting out a scream of pain, he did not resist, nor did he dare to show any anger. He could only nod and agree obsequiously.
But among humans, there are always some who are not afraid of death.
One of the handcuffed teenagers became increasingly aggrieved and suddenly shoved the Security Personnel in front of him aside with his shoulder, angrily shouting.
"What did we do wrong? Our protest is legal! I refuse to believe there is no fairness in this world!"
No one spoke up for him.
The only response he received was the sound of two guns charging beside him.
The middle-aged man, who appeared to be an officer, glanced over and said coldly, "Execute them on the spot."
So many people have already died, one more won't make a difference.
But just as the Exoskeleton Armor soldier raised his kinetic energy gun and aimed it at the boy, the charging light suddenly dimmed.
"What happened?"
The Captain asked curiously, then waved his hand. "Switch to manual mode."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Buzz buzz buzz~
A dense buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and the swarm of drones parked on the ground took off one after another.
"Another new combat mission?"
The Captain was taken aback; he realized he hadn't received any notification.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wonder for long.
The swarm of drones, now halfway up in the air, gradually began to rotate, pointing their guns at the ground.
Upon seeing this, he felt a strong sense of unease and instinctively pressed a button to raise the visor of his helmet.
The next second, countless small drones suddenly targeted these ground troops, unleashing a barrage of firepower.
Moreover, this time, the drone swarm received instructions not to limit its firepower.
In an instant, each drone launched the only small tactical nuclear missile it was equipped with.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The terrifying explosion instantly blasted the ground, leaving people and objects scattered and disoriented.
Faced with the explosive impacts coming from all directions, the Security Personnel and protesters, who were not protected by Exoskeleton Armor, were all killed in an instant.
Of course, those Exoskeleton Armor units aren't much better off.
Caught off guard, the troops suffered more than half their casualties in the first wave of attacks.
Even without understanding what was happening, these Exoskeleton Armor soldiers began to fight back spontaneously and gradually found comrades to form combat squads.
However, it should be noted that even if the soldiers can remain calm and take effective action, it will not significantly reduce their rate of casualties.
Where is our air support!?
"The launch of the electronic pulse missile indicates that the intelligent control system has been tampered with."
There are simple ways to deal with these small drones.
Unfortunately, the entire unit did not carry many of these weapons.
After all, they initially thought they were there to suppress a riot and deal with some troublemakers using homemade cannons with short barrels. Why would they need such war equipment?
As a result, these ground troops had to fight and retreat while waiting for support.
It makes sense when you think about it; who would willingly risk their life to take down a machine?
The Second Company of massive explosions in the Clock Tower Square left Pu Xueli, who had rushed over in a rage, somewhat dumbfounded.
They squeezed out from the crowd at the edge to get the best viewing angle.
After watching for a while, Lu Bai, standing next to Principal Pu, suddenly remarked, "It seems someone is even angrier than you; this seems a bit too extreme."
Pu Xueli's lips twitched, and he finally took a deep breath.
"This is a rebellion, this is war!"
