Someday, I'll make this place standing-room only. (Extra 6)
The rope seemed to carry some kind of powerful force, causing the air to tremble.
The two immediately felt the immense force pulling them, as if countless hands were tugging at them, trying to drag them into the bottomless darkness.
They strained with all their might, their fingers gripping the ground tightly, trying to steady themselves.
However, the force was too great; their fingernails carved deep marks into the ground, and blood dripped from their fingertips, staining the ground red.
Despite their valiant struggle, they were ultimately unable to withstand the immense power.
Their bodies were slowly dragged along by ropes, inching closer and closer to the abyss.
Their eyes were filled with terror and despair, yet they were unable to break free from the shackles of fate.
As the rope was pulled, the two bodies finally disappeared amidst the eerie, sinister laughter.
Only a few bloodstains remain, telling the story of what happened here.
Nine took out his notebook and counted the number of people arrested, then said with some excitement:
"This time we caught 48 criminals, which is much more efficient than us just wandering around the streets."
"Indeed! If it weren't Skullshatterer Suigu's intelligence and experience, we might not have been able to find such an efficient method so quickly."
Luo Chen stood with his hands on his hips, his face beaming with joy.
The capture of the criminal was incredibly easy, without any resistance whatsoever; it was as if they had gotten a great deal.
He turned to look at the Skullshatterer, his eyes full of admiration.
Although the child, Skullshatterer, is young, he has an exceptionally rich life experience.
Based on his experience, he can always come up with some unexpectedly good ideas.
The fact that the criminal was caught so easily this time was largely due to the help of the Skullshatterer expert.
Seeing his mentor's appreciation, Skullshatterer proudly raised his head.
He sidled up to Luo Chen, eager to claim credit:
"Boss, how was my performance?"
"That's wonderful! You'll definitely become a famous performing artist someday."
Upon being praised so highly by Luo Chen, Skullshatterer's ears turned red.
Luo Chen patted Skullshatterer on the shoulder encouragingly, then looked at the others:
"Quickly, all of you, get these people taken away as soon as possible."
"Don't disrupt the normal production and lives of the surrounding residents."
At Luo Chen's command, his men immediately sprang into action, dragging the captured criminals one by one into the nearby sewer entrance.
At the other end of the sewer outlet, there were Reunion Movement trucks parked.
The Reunion Movement members who were there to meet them couldn't stop smiling when they saw that the New Hope Rebirth Home had added new residents.
Soon!
Under the operation of well-trained Reunion Movement members, forty-eight prisoners suspected of murder and killing were all put on a vehicle bound for their new home.
They will now turn over a new leaf and do their utmost to create greater value for Lungmen.
As for Luo Chen, he led the remaining people to the next water source without stopping.
From the moment the flashbang exploded to the moment the last prisoner was loaded onto the truck, the entire process took less than fifteen minutes.
Even the crowd who had just woken up and heard about the commotion didn't react at first.
When they came out of their homes with great enthusiasm and anticipation to see the excitement, they were still in a relaxed and happy mood.
However, when they arrived at the water collection point, the scene before them left them speechless.
The entire water collection point was deathly silent, as if shrouded by an invisible force, sending chills down one's spine.
The people who should have been here have all vanished, replaced by an eerie silence.
Their gazes were involuntarily drawn to the messy bloodstains on the ground; the bright red marks were particularly glaring in the sunlight.
The bloodstains were mottled, as if silently telling the story of a horrific event that had just occurred here.
An unspeakable fear began to spread in everyone's heart.
They involuntarily took a few steps back, as if afraid that the unknown monster would suddenly appear and devour them as well.
A heavy and oppressive atmosphere filled the air, making it hard to breathe.
--There is a monster in Lungmen that eats everyone who fights near the water source.
9:00 AM.
A street in B16 District.
An infiltrator sent by the Ursus Empire.
They are currently carrying out a mission to sow discord between Infected and ordinary people in Lungmen.
He sat among the chatting elderly people, enthusiastically and kindly sharing foreign knowledge with them.
"According to research by authoritative institutions in Ursus, water touched by Infected also carries a certain risk of infection."
"Even with the best water purification equipment available in this region, the risk of infection cannot be completely eliminated."
"Is there any way for us to avoid infection?"
Upon hearing this question, the spy's lips curled into a slight smile, but he shook his head regretfully.
There is no way to prevent this type of infection.
"Otherwise, the Ursus Empire wouldn't have issued an order for a complete eradication of the Infected."
"This was done with the safety of the entire nation in mind."
At this point, an old man with very little education immediately began to pound his thigh in indignation.
"The emperor of Ursus is truly responsible."
"Look at our Lungmen! They just let those Infected run rampant and do nothing. Those big shots are holed up in the Upper City, completely disregarding the lives of the people in the Lower City."
"If you ask me, this damn Governor Wei is not even as good as those old Ursus nobles."
"If they were still here, at least we wouldn't have to worry about getting Oripathy from just drinking water one day."
"Yeah, the emperor of Ursus is really something else. I just don't have the money to pay for the wilderness fare. If I had the money, I'd go to Ursus too."
At this point, an older woman of Ursus chimed in, clearly regarding Ursus as a better place than Lungmen.
Chapter 115 One day, I will fill this place to capacity. (Add 6)
Ursus spies, seeing these ignorant citizens, were easily swayed by a few words.
I couldn't help but feel that this mission was far too easy.
If this continues, it won't be long before ordinary people and Infected in the slum start fighting each other.
That completes their mission!
Once they return to the empire, they will enjoy endless riches and glory.
To make the fire burn even brighter, he deliberately guided it:
"It's okay if you can't go to Ursus. You can maintain the environment in your own community."
"How do we maintain it?" someone asked, puzzled.
"Of course you can..."
As the spy was speaking, he suddenly noticed a raggedly dressed boy leaning on a broken wooden stick, moving towards the water source ahead.
That's perfect.
We were just talking about excluding Infected, and here comes this teaching demonstration site, isn't it?
"Grandpa/Grandma, you must not be soft-hearted when dealing with this Infected."
"If you can't bear to do it, you're harming your own descendants and being irresponsible to your relatives and friends."
"Did you see that child? He's so unsteady on his feet; he's a severely Infected."
"He might just explode one day, and the blast debris will linger for days."
"For your safety, you must not let them get close to the water source."
"Huh?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Should we chase them away? What if a fight breaks out?"
When the topic of fighting with Infected came up, the elderly men and women hesitated.
Those Infected are people who could die any day now. What if I get into an argument with them and they fight me to the death?
Infected has no life left. What if they go and start a fight, get injured, become infected, or even die?
As a high-ranking imperial agent with a deep understanding of human nature, the man knew that even the most flammable pile of firewood needed a spark to ignite it.
Let him ignite this fire today.
"There's nothing to be afraid of about Infected. As long as we unite, we can drive them out. Grandpas and grandmas, come with me, let's get rid of these pests that are harming us."
The senior agent from Ursus stood up, waved his hand, and all the elderly men and women who had been aroused followed suit.
The group of over fifty people grabbed whatever they could find—wooden sticks, iron pipes, steel bars, brooms, and other things that could be used as weapons.
He walked towards the raggedly dressed Infected boy ahead.
Just as he and the elderly folks gathered around, the boy who was getting water slowly turned his head away.
The boy clearly hadn't expected to be surrounded by so many people, and his legs immediately began to tremble with fear.
"What are you doing? I'm just getting some water here, I'll leave once I'm full."
The boy's pitiful, frightened appearance immediately aroused the sympathy of several elderly men and women.
The senior agent snorted coldly and pointed at him:
"Hmph, fetching water? That's your biggest problem, don't you know that?"
"If you get water here and contaminate the water source, how are the other people supposed to live?"
Guided by the Ursus spy, the older women who had previously felt pity for him suddenly hardened their hearts and began to condemn him:
"Yes, can you Infected consider the feelings of other people?"
"That's right, thousands of people drink this water every day. If you pollute it, how will they survive?"
"You'd better leave now, you're not welcome here."
Some kind-hearted elderly people told the boy to leave and never come back.
But this young man seemed somewhat reluctant to back down.
He remained standing there, looking at everyone pitifully. "Could I use it a little longer?"
"You brat, are you asking for trouble?"
The senior agent smiled. If the boy had taken the opportunity to leave with the older women, he wouldn't have been able to do anything further.
But since this boy is so ungrateful, anything he does next is perfectly reasonable.
Hearing the man utter such a threatening word, Skullshatterer smiled inwardly.
He had initially thought he wouldn't be able to catch any big fish at this water source.
And here it is, just like that.
The senior agent took a broom from the old man and threatened him:
"I'll give you five numbers. If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being impolite."
The senior agent's idea was to give the other party five numbers to make him leave, but for a lame teenager, five numbers certainly wouldn't be enough to get him out of there.
