Embers Ad Infinitum

Outside the Senate, soldiers from the city defense army had formed several human walls and erected explosion-proof shields.

They all had weapons in their hands, but facing the dark crowd of countless citizens, everyone was beating a drum in their hearts.

They still have the courage to use tear gas, but if the tear gas is ineffective and fails to prevent the demonstration from turning into a riot, and real guns must be fired to cause damage, none of them can make a decisive decision.

Although General Phocas has given the order and said that he will bear all the consequences afterwards, when faced with such a situation, as long as he is a human being, he will have his own thoughts, will consider the development of the matter, the future retreat, and will think about the citizens in the gathering. Are there any family members, relatives and friends who insist on coming over despite my dissuasion? They will be full of resistance to the imagined result of corpses strewn in the fields and blood flowing all over the ground.

These city defense soldiers were also citizens of the "Primary City" and felt the same way about Gaius's speech.

Moreover, even if there was no one they cared about among the citizens gathering, they did not dare to shoot recklessly.

This is no longer just a problem for a small group of citizens, the vast majority of citizens in the city are echoing Gaius's speech.

When the time comes, there will be bloodshed, and everyone will consider it a bloody butcher who betrayed all the citizens. These city defense soldiers simply cannot imagine how they will survive in the city afterwards.

It is impossible for them to never go home, and it is impossible for them to never act alone or in a group of people. However, the citizens of the First City are full of martial virtues, many of them are hunters, and their gun ownership rate is extremely high. It is impossible to prevent them from being shot coldly.

This will turn their normal walk into the enemy's lair into a lair that is very convenient for guerrilla warfare.

The urban jungle can turn into a killing forest in an instant!

When the soldiers of the city defense army prayed to the different ministers, hoping that the demonstration would end peacefully, those in the back row involuntarily turned sideways and looked at the doors and windows of the Senate.

There are people guarding such places. Those people either have pale yellow scales on their faces, or have bulging eyes that shine with strange light, or they have four arms and are holding two rifles at the same time...

They are somewhat different from normal humans. They are the subhuman guards selected and formed by the Senate.

These people are widely hated by the citizens of the First City for various reasons. If they dare to leave the settlement near the Senate when they are not in large numbers, they will inevitably be attacked, killed on the spot, or taken away. Sold elsewhere.

Such a situation forces them to be firmly attached to the faction in power in the Senate and strictly implement their orders. They will certainly not care about the casualties of so-called citizens.

Many of the aberrants in the Second Human Guard have special abilities, and combined with advanced weapons, they are quite powerful beings.

"Punish Varo severely!"

"Punish Varo severely!"

The citizens shouted loudly, and there was no attack on the Senate yet.

The soldiers of the city defense army felt that their palms holding weapons were wet with cold sweat.

…………

The ordinary-looking Jeep turned into Emperor Street.

The defense here is even tighter, and it has already reached the state of three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post in Long Yuehong's imagination.

Because the "Old Tune Team" did not turn in the direction of No. 9, had a fidelity pass, and did not "carry" heavy weapons, a large number of overt or covert glances were turned away when they turned to the other side.

Bai Chen forced his gaze to the front and drove the car in silence.

Not long after, they came to the outside of the garden villa No. 15, turned down the path, and arrived at the side entrance area, which was very secluded and had few patrols.

None of the four members of the "old tune team" got out of the car. They just pressed the window and waited for the person mentioned in the company's telegram to come and meet.

After almost a quarter of an hour, a green parrot flew out of the garden and landed on the top of the side door.

It looked at the "Old Tune Group", opened its mouth, and spoke in a well-spoken gray dialect:

“Angelica!

"Angelica!"

Ah... Long Yuehong was stunned and couldn't believe her eyes at all.

The person the company asked me to meet was actually a parrot?

Is this scientific?

Shang Jianyao was excited:

"You are the company's latest research result, a deformed parrot with a 'soul corridor' level?"

The parrot looked at Shang Jianyao and answered:

"Idiot."

"..." Jiang Baimian began to think about whether the owner of this parrot was full of swear words.

Shang Jianyao retorted seriously:

"There's something wrong with your choice of words. You should call me crazy."

You are very self-aware... Under the current scene, Long Yuehong couldn't help but curse.

"Crazy!" the parrot responded.

Then, it said:

"You follow me."

It flapped its wings and slowly flew behind the side door.

This garden villa belongs to the elder Meyers, who has a deep friendship with Huang Lao, the chief scientist of "Pangu Biology".

Based on this, Jiang Baimian boldly opened the door and followed.

Shang Jianyao ran faster than her.

The side door was unlocked, just ajar, and there were no guards or servants nearby, giving the impression that the place had been abandoned for a long time.

But the neatness of the lawn and the orderliness of the garden made Long Yuehong and Bai Chen know that this was just their illusion.

Following the green parrot, the "Old Tune Team" walked through the garden, across the lawn, and arrived at the main building.

There is a door ajar here too.

After entering the villa, Jiang Baimian and others saw the green parrot flying into the nearest room.

"There is only one person inside." Shang Jianyao turned his head and said without deliberately controlling his volume.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly, indicating that the result of his induction was the same.

Boom, boom, boom.

Even though the door was already ajar, Shang Jianyao still knocked politely three times.

"Please come in." A female voice came from the room.

The "Old Tune Team" pushed open the door and found that it was a living room with plenty of light.

There are coffee tables, sofas, chairs and other things on the dark red carpet.

At this time, a woman who seemed to be less than thirty years old was sitting on the sofa.

She has long golden hair, not only has outstanding facial features, but also has good skin, which goes beyond the limitations of the Red River race.

Having undergone genetic modification... Long Yuehong made an instinctive judgment.

Snapped!

Shang Jianyao did not forget to close the door.

The woman stood up, looked at them, smiled and stretched out her right hand:

"Get to know me, I am the youngest daughter of Senator Meyers. You can call me Conner."

"Is it you who the company asked us to meet?" Jiang Baimian cautiously stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.

Kang Na smiled and said:

"Strictly speaking, I also grew up in the company. I only moved around in specific areas and didn't have much contact with other employees."

Jiang Baimian was stunned when he heard this answer.

Is the relationship between "Prime City" veteran Meyers and the company to this extent?

Kangna was not surprised at all by their reactions and explained casually:

"In the old world, my family is the aristocracy left over from the ancient times. We have always believed in a concept: eggs cannot be put in one basket, or in other words, the best way to bet is to bet on all possible winners."

She speaks the native dialect very smoothly.

"My father used to be in the army system of the 'First City', and he was mainly responsible for battlefield treatment. Once, when conquering a certain settlement, he met Mr. Huang by chance. Well, Mr. Huang is the current chief scientist of the company.

"They had a lot in common in terms of medical treatment and biology, and they quickly became friends. At that time, Olei seized power and proclaimed himself emperor, and many senators in the 'Primary City' were uneasy.

"In order to ensure a better continuation of the family, my father provided biological materials to the company, hoping to cultivate several more offspring in the underground building. This is how I was born, the last one.

"My father's worries have become a reality in a sense. During the turmoil in the 'Primary City' after Ole's death, a large number of his heirs died, leaving only one son. In the following years, although he worked hard, he was hampered by the Age and body, only two more children.

"I was lucky enough to be able to awaken naturally and undergo genetic adjustment. I was sent to the First City a few years ago and returned to my family as an illegitimate daughter."

Strictly speaking, she is indeed an illegitimate daughter... Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.

"So that's it." Jiang Baimian breathed out slowly.

Kangna is not afraid of being questioned by the intelligence system of "Prime City" and can freely test DNA.

"Sit down." Kangna pointed to the sofa and chairs, "I know what you want to do. When the opportunity arises, try to contact Avia."

"Where is Elder Meyers?" Jiang Baimian asked cautiously.

"Rest upstairs." Kangna smiled. "An accident could happen at any time in the Senate. I asked him not to go because he was sick."

…………

Somewhere in the Golden Apple District.

Beuris, the consul and commander-in-chief of the "Primary City", walked out of the gate.

He swept his blue eyes and said in a low voice to his followers and guards:

"To the Senate."
