"The murderers who killed our compatriots are right here!"

These uninformed citizens and members of the Reunion Movement had no idea who the murderer was who killed their fellow citizens of Talulah.

But I know that none of the executives at these companies are good people.

Regardless of whether they were involved in the plot to murder Talulah, they should be hanged and beaten to death. There will be no wrongdoing on their part.

The rioting mob, brandishing their weapons, turned their attacks on the group of richly dressed, usually glamorous upper-class people.

No matter what family background you have, or what group you belong to as an elite, it doesn't matter.

We cannot retaliate.

Kill them all!

Once everyone is dead, there's no need to fear retaliation.

At this very moment, the same scene is unfolding in the buildings of various companies in Lungmen.

Outside Lungmen City.

Talulah herself, who has been impersonating Luo Chen, has arrived at the outskirts of Lungmen with the vanguard of the Reunion Movement headquarters.

Talulah held up her binoculars, gazing into the distance at the vast metropolis of a million people.

Compared to this enormous city, Talulah's vanguard was like an ant, utterly incomparable.

"FrostNova, hasn't Luo Chen sent a message yet? Are we really going to attack the city?"

"Not yet. Luo Chen hasn't posted it, and neither has that smelly woman." FrostNova shook her head.

"Should we launch a feint attack on Lungmen as planned? Let me warn you beforehand, with our small numbers, one shot from Lungmen's city defenses would send us all flying."

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? You're the acting leader now, don't you have any ideas?"

"Isn't that what I'm asking you?"

"Since you're the second-in-command, just give the orders. If we're going to die, we'll all die together."

"Tsk..."

Talulah realized that without Luo Chen's guidance, the Reunion Movement was like a headless fly, completely clueless about what to do next.

Luo Chen's original plan for them was to launch a feint attack on Lungmen.

But facing such a massive city, for them to launch a feint attack with only a few hundred people would be tantamount to suicide.

He was once the leader of the Reunion Movement, so why can't he do it now?

"A direct attack is unrealistic, FrostNova. You come with me to scout the situation. If it's bad, we'll run away immediately."

"Alright."

FrostNova nodded.

They were waiting in vain for Luo Chen's orders.

A direct attack on Lungmen is not realistic.

It would be a more reliable option for the two of them to go and investigate personally.

When Talulah and her companion sneaked into Lungmen through the sewers and arrived at the slums on the outermost edge of Lungmen...

The entire slum was found to be deserted, with no residents strolling on the streets.

Even the houses were empty.

The people of the slums seemed to have gone on a collective picnic; they had all vanished without a trace.

This made the two of them feel extremely uneasy.

Talulah and FrostNova walked a little further before finally spotting two figures.

These were two elderly people with gray hair, supporting each other and leaning on canes, silently gazing at the Upper City, their expressions somewhat agitated.

FrostNova: "Ete... Su, unidentified Ursus language"

Talulah: "Grandpa, Grandma, where are all the people here? I can't see anyone... what has everyone gone to do?"

Talulah hadn't spoken Yan in a long time, and her opening was a little hesitant.

Upon hearing this, the elderly couple turned their heads and glanced at FrostNova, who couldn't speak clearly.

He immediately realized that the two of them were from outside the Lungmen.

"Those shameless bastards in the Upper City murdered Talulah of the Reunion Movement, and everyone's gone to avenge Talulah."

"You must be from out of town. Things haven't been peaceful in Lungmen these past few days. If you don't have anything else to do, you should leave now."

FrostNova couldn't understand Yan, so she could only turn her head and wait for Talulah to translate for her.

Talulah, however, looked utterly bewildered.

???

What did Luo Chen do?

How did you manage to kill me?

Chapter 246 was a very engaging lesson, and parents couldn't possibly be dissatisfied.

Lungmen Commercial Street.

It was now completely chaotic, with car horns, screams, and shouts all mixed together.

The air was thick with the suffocating smell of burning and blood.

News that the passageways in the Upper City had been overrun by rioters had reached everyone's ears through the Lungmen Guard Department's emergency evacuation broadcast.

The citizens of the Upper City could not imagine how the seemingly impregnable fortifications of the Lungmen Guard Department could have been breached by the peasants of the Lower City.

Regardless, the rioters in the Lower City have already reached the Upper City, and that is an undeniable fact.

Ordinary citizens trying to escape the Lungmen, hooligans looking to make a quick buck, and real thugs just for zero-yuan purchases.

The security guards escorting the company's top executives to safety included Governor's Office officials escaping through various back channels, as well as journalists from various countries risking their lives to gain attention.

Spies from various countries, undercover agents from various organizations, simple antisocial elements, and a whole host of other deeply hidden and sinister individuals.

They all took to the streets, completely tearing away the facade of civility that existed in the Upper City Lungmen.

A bus is traveling.

Many of the people in the vehicle were disabled; their welfare home had received an emergency evacuation notice from the Lungmen Guard Department.

They are currently fleeing to the shelter designated by the Lungmen Guard Department.

"Officer... is there any hope for Lungmen?" A man who looked like Down syndrome asked the Lungmen Guard Department officers in the car with concern.

The police officer was a very young man named Liberi, who joined the Public Security Management Brigade on the same day as Luo Chen and was a newcomer who even gave Luo Chen a red flower (a symbol of recognition for his service).

"Everything will be alright, the Lungmen Guard Department will bring the situation under control as soon as possible."

Todd spoke with feigned composure, but he wasn't really confident.

Since Swire was dismissed a few days ago, the Upper City's security department has been like a ship without its leader.

Faced with such a major security incident, the public security management department in Upper City has completely collapsed.

Even someone like him, a clerical worker in the headquarters office, went to the front lines.

Keep in mind that the Reunion Movement thugs in the Lower City haven't even arrived yet.

The opportunists who took advantage of the chaos in the Upper City alone brought their security system to a complete collapse.

If hundreds of thousands of rioters from the Lower City were to arrive, Lungmen would surely become a living hell.

Click... bang.

Suddenly, a dump truck crashed into the side, and the driver instinctively swerved, crashing directly into the slippery curb.

Todd, who hadn't been standing properly, tripped and fell, but he still asked anxiously:

"How is everyone? Are any of you injured?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw more than a dozen armed men with brightly colored hair jump out of the pickup truck behind the dump truck.

They surrounded them, wielding machetes and clubs.

"Hand over all your valuables..."

Clearly, these people took advantage of the chaos to specifically engage in vandalism and looting.

Todd was thrown around and his face was covered in blood, but as a Lungmen Guard Department officer, he could still hold his own against a dozen or so street thugs.

He wiped the blood from his nose and patted the bus driver on the shoulder:

"Back the car out, I'll get out and hold them off."

Like a lone warrior, Todd stood in front of more than a dozen thugs, protecting the bus driver as he slowly moved the bus that was stuck in the dump truck.

After a fierce battle.

The fearless Todd successfully drove back the thugs, scaring them away.

The bus he was responsible for protecting was also successfully moved out.

However, at that moment, the bus, which should have escaped, seemed to resign itself to its fate and stalled.

Immediately afterwards, shouts came from the street not far away:

"Investigate the case thoroughly and arrest the murderer."

Todd glanced back and saw thousands upon thousands of people walking down Lungmen's main road, stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Haha... little officer... just accept your fate."

"The end is near for the Lungmen Guard Department."

The thugs who were fighting Todd couldn't help but smirk Lower City arrive.

In their view, the rioters in the Lower City were doing bad things, and they themselves were doing bad things too. Since they were all doing bad things, they naturally thought they were all in the same boat.

As for Todd's heart, it simply died.

He could fight off a dozen thugs using brute force.

But he was no match for the hundreds of thousands of rioters in the Lower City.

Although he knew he was no match for the rioters, he still stood in front of them, doing his last duty.

At the same time.

In the marching crowd, about 200 meters away from Todd.

"Reporting, boss! Thugs spotted ahead!" A member of Reunion Movement ran over and reported the situation to Luo Chen.

"It's time to uphold justice. I just received a call from the Lungmen Guard Department Swire Bureau."

"She said she's always admired our Rebirth Park in the Lower City and wants to collaborate with us to create a branch of the Lungmen Guard Department."

"We and the Lungmen Guard Department are partners in justice, so it's natural for us to share advanced security systems with our colleagues."

"I order that no matter what form of crime occurs in the Upper City, not a single prisoner shall be let go."

Upon hearing Luo Chen's order, the members of Reunion Movement went into a frenzy.

The higher-ups in the Lungmen Guard Department are truly insightful and righteous.

It not only gave the Reunion Movement a voice, but also formed an alliance between the Reunion Movement and the Lungmen Guard Department to enforce the law together.

It is time to bring fairness, justice, and the rule of law to the Upper City of Lungmen.

"You must strictly enforce the rules, regulations, and laws of the Lower City from now on."

"Whether they are economic criminals, thieves, or opportunistic speculators, arrest them all."

Luo Chen waved his hand, signaling several cadres around him to lead the people of the Lower City and members of the Reunion Movement to implement Lungmen's laws and regulations.

He turned and walked towards the roadside green belt.

The officers accompanying him were greatly puzzled. "Boss, what are you going to do?"

Luo Chen waved his hand and, amidst the bewildered looks of the crowd, plunged into the roadside green belt.
