We're one big Ursus family, united to save the country. (Extra 20)
"Think about it. Your parents will be kicked out of their home by thugs and bullied by neighbors without your support, and they won't dare to fight back."
"Your wives will become other men's wives, convulsing beneath other men. And your sons will be whipped at will by other men, and drowned in water jars at the slightest provocation."
"Your friend will be ostracized and humiliated by others because you are an Infected."
Do you really want to see everything you have destroyed and taken away by others?
He spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate the hearts of everyone.
The terrifying future he depicted was like a giant beast in the darkness, relentlessly devouring everyone's hope and courage.
The scene Luo Chen described was not unfamiliar to them.
They have also witnessed countless families torn apart because of an Infected.
They had even envisioned this future.
Now, Luo Chen brought up this terrifying future.
"... Are you willing to accept this?"
All the Infected soldiers gritted their teeth in resentment.
Tears streamed down the faces of some soldiers as they knelt silently on the ground, clenching their fists and pounding the earth in anguish.
They could not accept the dark future that was about to come.
I also cannot imagine how I would face that endless fear and despair.
However, even if they wanted to escape, Luo Chen wouldn't let them.
With a wicked grin, Luo Chen leaned close to each soldier's ear and began to devise their own tragic fates.
"Do you want to see your daughter bullied and humiliated because her father is Infected?"
"Do you want to see your mother being mocked and humiliated by those treacherous military police just because she's trying to get you out?"
"Oh, let me see, the photo in your arms is your son, isn't it? Do you want to see your son forced to eat shit by your malicious neighbor?"
"No!"
"No! Mom!"
"My son, my son."
Luo Chen's words ruthlessly exposed the most terrifying images in their hearts, laying them out one by one before them, as if they were about to tear their hearts apart.
When faced with unbearable fear, people either choose to escape or become angry.
Now Luo Chen is taking away what they were trying to escape.
They turned them all out to dry, which made them roar with fury.
Everyone hates what happened to them, and hates those damned laws against the Infected.
And so, Luo Chen let them vent for a while.
When most of them were so enraged that they had no strength left, and their spirits were broken again, they gradually felt despair.
Luo Chen then spoke confidently:
"Don't you feel like you're angry, but there's nothing you can do about it?"
"This land treats the Infected with such cruelty and ruthlessness; there will be no turning back for me."
"That's what you all think, isn't it?"
"This land is simply beyond your ability to contend with, isn't it?"
"But if I told you that there is now a way to return to your past life, so that your loved ones will not suffer because of you."
"And the only price is for you to do as I say and follow my orders. Are you willing?"
Luo Chen's words were like the warm sunshine of spring.
It pierced through the gloom in their hearts and awakened new hope deep within them.
His voice was strong and clear.
Every word struck their hearts like a heavy hammer, giving them an unprecedented sense of exhilaration and power.
"Sir, do you really have a solution?"
"I'll do anything you ask, as long as my family isn't implicated."
"Sir, what should we do?"
Seeing the soldiers regain their spirits, Luo Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Then he produced the Imperial Constitution, which he had prepared long ago.
"Before I tell you what to do, let me first explain the greatness of the law and the root cause of your downfall."
"All this suffering is because treacherous officials in the empire have altered our great laws."
Chapter 140 We are the Ursus Salvation Family. (+20)
Anyone familiar with cults should know this.
Cults do not create a value system out of thin air; rather, they distort and misinterpret existing religions and values.
Luo Chen is a vanguard against cults.
Therefore, their flawed thinking in this area must be corrected.
Luo Chen, holding the Constitution, explained to everyone:
"Everyone, please look at Article 1 of the Imperial Constitution."
"His Majesty the Emperor is the god of all the people of Ursus. All Ursus people are His Majesty the Emperor's subjects. His Majesty the Emperor enjoys absolute authority in the political, economic, and military affairs of the Empire."
"The constitution does not state that the Infected are not legitimate Ursus citizens. If the Infected are not legitimate Ursus citizens, then Infected are not required to pledge allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor."
"The reason the late emperor was able to appoint so many Infected to important positions in Ursus was precisely because of Article 1 of the Constitution, Infected are also citizens of Ursus."
"As for after the late emperor's death..."
"The ' Infected Isolation Act, passed by Parliament, emphasizes that Infected, as illegitimate Ursus citizens, must unconditionally accept mandatory arrangements and treatment."
Luo Chen placed the two laws side by side for comparison, and even the illiterate soldiers noticed the problem.
They stood up and asked:
"Is there a problem with this Infected Isolation Act?"
Luo Chen immediately pointed at them and shouted back:
"That's right! This bill is unconstitutional."
"Then do you know why this obviously problematic bill has been implemented throughout the empire without being corrected?"
"Could it be that someone has coerced His Majesty the Emperor?" someone speculated.
"That's right, exactly. His Majesty the Emperor is forever wise, so those who make His Majesty make unwise decisions are naturally treacherous ministers."
Upon hearing Luo Chen's explanation, everyone present suddenly understood.
They have finally found the root cause of their current predicament.
For a long time, Infected have been regarded as worse than slaves, losing their rightful civil rights and living at the bottom of society, suffering all kinds of injustice and discrimination.
All of this was because a treacherous official had altered the empire's laws, stripping them of all their rights.
"* Ursus profanity*"
This discovery angered and shocked everyone present.
They cursed the nameless treacherous official, their voices rising and falling, filled with accusations of injustice and unfairness.
Their anger stemmed not only from their own experiences, but also from their indignation at the alteration of Imperial Law.
They felt this was an unfair insult to everyone, a trampling of their dignity as citizens.
"Brothers and sisters, don't panic. This crisis is far bigger than you imagine."
"Right now they're only persecuting the Infected; it won't be long before those treacherous officials turn their attention to ordinary people as well."
"And our great Ursus will perish in their turmoil."
"The city-states will collapse, Catastrophes will sweep through all cities, and the cataclysmic calamity will punish Ursus for straying from its original purpose."
"Even if your family members are safe and sound now, on that day, all your relatives will become refugees who can't afford to eat and will lose their dignity as human beings."
"Then why would they be devoured by wild beasts?"
"And at this moment, don't you feel that you must do something?"
"Shouldn't we stand up and save Ursus?"
In the blink of an eye, the crisis escalated from affecting personal friends and family to threatening the very survival of the nation.
Their hearts were gripped by Luo Chen's words, as if drawn by an invisible force.
Their gazes hardened, and an unprecedented passion surged within them.
They realized that they were no longer fighting just for themselves.
It is for the future of the entire country, for the innocent people, and for the weak who cannot protect themselves.
"Should!"
The sound was like thunder.
Luo Chen was also deeply moved by everyone's awareness.
He walked into the crowd, grabbed two people's hands, and said with tears in his eyes:
"Very good, from today onwards, we are the family that saves Ursus."
"As true protectors of the law, we will join hands to work together to save this country."
"Before that, in order to strengthen our beliefs..."
"I propose that everyone hold hands."
"We are not fighting alone; we are surrounded by our brothers and sisters."
"Let us unite and strive for His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Unity! Strive!"
Luo Chen's voice, like the tolling of a bell at dawn, echoed in the silent air, carrying an indescribable power.
He held the hand of the person next to him tightly, his eyes shining with a firm light, as if he were telling an unyielding belief.
His voice inspired those around him, and they were moved by his power, joining in the shouts.
Luo Chen led everyone in a shout for half an hour.
That surge of intense emotion was like a tidal wave.
Gradually, some people began to feel tired.
But more than anything, their hearts were filled with a steadfast strength.
As time went by, their emotions began to calm down, but their desire for justice and their expectations for the future grew stronger.
One of the young men keenly noticed a significant problem.
He looked around at his companions, whose faces were flushed with excitement, and a sense of worry welled up in his heart.
He took a deep breath and asked Luo Chen in a questioning voice:
"How are we supposed to save the empire? Do you think just shouting here will bring down the treacherous officials?"
These words were like a bolt of lightning, shattering the atmosphere that had just been filled with passion.
People fell silent and began to ponder this serious question.
