Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

The press conference lasted for two hours before it ended.

And as time went by, more and more people gathered outside the Umbrella branch building, until the building was completely surrounded by water.

"Hey, I'm Zayev, a lecturer at Koswa University. My child and wife are in quarantine now. I urgently need a new type of antibiotic. Can you sell it to me first..."

"Really, I really need it, please, Umbrella!"

"I need it too, I can buy it for ten times the price!"

When Alvin and Mayor Robinson stepped out of the venue of the press conference together, there was a large crowd of people outside. Dozens of guards at the scene cooperated with the police to surround the square outside the building to barely block the crowd.

Among these people were journalists from all over the world, and of course more local residents who ran out in violation of the isolation measures.

In view of the large flow of people here, which is likely to cause the spread of the epidemic, the Patyrus City Police Department dispatched a large number of police officers to drive them away and arrested some of the leaders.

"Just send it here, Mr. Alvin."

"Mr. Mayor, hopefully by this time next year, I will be able to address you as Mr. President."

"Hehe, let me borrow your good words."

The two stood in front of a limousine and exchanged casual greetings before Alvin sent Mayor Robinson into the car. Five vehicles formed a convoy, protecting the car Mayor Robinson was sitting in, and surrounded by multiple police cars. In the guard, drive slowly.

Alvin stood where he was, looking at the receding convoy, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The reason why Mayor Robinson came to the scene in person, apart from expressing his attitude and attracting votes, is one of the reasons that Umbrella Corporation donated 500 million nuns.

"Mr. Alvin, how do you feel about the request of the people?"

"Mr. Alvin, there are many non-governmental organizations and personnel asking Umbrella to disclose the technical information of new antibiotics. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Many reporters were unwilling to reconcile, and tried their best to pass through many difficulties and squeezed to Alvin's side, trying to get more useful information.

But Alvin just smiled politely at them and turned towards the company gate.

Compared with these reporters, people from all over the world are crazier, and online public opinion has directly pushed Umbrella to the forefront.

As a previous reporter said, a new wave of targeted public opinion is going viral on the Internet.

"Now is the most dangerous moment for the entire human society. Umbrella Biotechnology Company should disclose the research and development technical information of -a, so that pharmaceutical factories around the world can produce unconditionally. Innocent people are responsible for the deaths!"

"That's right, in the face of the righteousness of maintaining the order and peace of the human world, Umbrella Corporation should give up its interests and put the crisis of the human world at the forefront."

With the passage of time, such remarks gradually formed a new trend of public opinion on the Internet, and Umbrella's reputation among the people became more and more unfavorable.

"Some people really can't hold back, so they've already made a move."

In the Umbrella company headquarters, Illumi stood in front of the window, holding a goblet of red wine in his hand, shaking it gently.

On the high-definition screen lowered from the ceiling, reporters from various countries conducted street interviews with the people on the street, and a large number of people joined together to organize a parade to publicize their strong suggestions for Umbrella Corporation.

Listening to the words and slogans of those people in the news, Yilumi felt nothing in his heart.

He had expected that after Umbrella disclosed the therapeutic effect of new antibiotics on new viruses,

Such public opinion and events are bound to be triggered.

Pharmaceutical giants from all over the world are bound to be unwilling to give up such a large piece of cake to Umbrella, and will definitely take corresponding measures.

If it was the previous life, at this critical moment of the global epidemic, it is very likely that Umbrella Company was really pressured by major giants and the government due to the influence of public opinion, and was forced to disclose its authority and hand over the production technology of new antibiotics information, control the epidemic in the shortest possible time, and end the epidemic.

During this period, the major pharmaceutical giants will turn into a pack of hungry wolves and mercilessly tear off the flesh and blood of Umbrella, "not leaving a single piece of armor."

But unfortunately, in the world of hunters, public opinion will not have any effect on maverick powerhouses. After all, they have the strength to turn the tables at any time.

"However, some people should solve it. Before, it was because they were too busy with other things. Now it's time to let him calm down."

Yilu Riddle's tone was cold, but everyone present knew what he meant.

Ever since the Illumina company offered a reward, people in the dark world investigated that the Umbrella company was the reason for the theft of new vitamin samples and new antibiotic research and development materials.

Just keep increasing the reward amount, so that people from all walks of life in the dark world compete to make a move. Illumi had to keep Pride at the company's headquarters, unable to take action for a long time.

"Although it is indeed our fault, the secret should be hidden."

"A secret that cannot be hidden must be protected with strength. A secret that cannot be protected is not your secret."

It was Illumina's director and CEO, Hubert Hamilton, who Ilumi was talking about.

This person has been secretly hindering the development of Umbrella Company, waiting for the opportunity to find Umbrella's flaws, ready to deal a fatal blow at any time.

After the investigation by Ike Champe and Riley, the current wave of public opinion was secretly set off by Hubert Hamilton.

The next day, when Illumi was about to go to the United States of Eddie to deal with the CEO of Immena, a communication from the main entrance of the industrial park of the headquarters received the office.

"Boss, I think we're in trouble."

Riley's young, energetic but confident and calm voice suddenly sounded in the office.

"What happened?"

Illumi asked, and at the same time raised the red wine in his hand, and took a sip.

"On the highway leading to the company's headquarters in Siglan, a large number of people are rushing towards the industrial park."

While Riley was speaking, a 27-inch high-definition screen appeared on the ceiling, and Riley controlled it to be connected to the highway monitoring system.

"Trouble? That would be nice."

Glid suddenly regained his spirits, a trace of scarlet flashed in his eyes, and his face was rebellious.

Kim Bradley and Pride still look like they don't care, exuding a convincing calm temperament.

Last was dressed in a black evening dress, with fair skin, a cold, beautiful face, and a noble aristocratic temperament.

For some reason, she always wears gorgeous, fashionable dresses no matter what time of day it is.

When Umbrella Corporation built the highway, it also established a highway monitoring system for the purpose of comprehensive monitoring and control of the highway.

The picture flashed, and the real-time picture captured by the highway monitoring system appeared in front of everyone.

During the monitoring, on the highway leading to the Umbrella company headquarters, there were countless people forming a huge flow of people, covering a large area in darkness, like ants migrating.

At a glance, there is no end in sight.

According to the successive transfers of the surveillance system cameras, they also saw the signs held by those people.

"Strongly urge Umbrella Biotech to disclose the manufacturing process and open -a's production authority!"

"Righteousness comes first, interests come later!"

There are countless billboards like this, and people are walking forward step by step holding the billboards. Not only that, some people even stand on the roof of the car and hold the billboards to attract the attention of others.

Some people even rented flying boats to fly slowly in the air. There were also advertising banners on the flying boats about letting Umbrella Company disclose its manufacturing process.

Different genders, different age groups, different skin colors, different races, and different countries, some wore masks, some wore isolation gowns, and some had nothing at all.

These people got together and completely blocked the entire highway.

Umbrella's logistics trucks were unable to travel together, and the trucks at the headquarters that were preparing to deliver new antibiotics did not dare to travel after receiving the notice.

Preliminary estimates put the number of people in the parade at tens of thousands.

Yilumi's face was cold, and he found a similar feature on the faces of these people.

Angry and excited!

Angry, the Umbrella Company ignored their appeals and remained aloof.

Excited that so many of them gathered together to put pressure on Umbrella, the manufacturing process and permissions of the drug will be opened soon, and they will all be saved.

"We need treatment!"

"Open the manufacturing process and open the production authority!"

"Our families need healing, our friends need healing, our fellow citizens need healing!"

Tens of thousands of people held billboards and walked towards the headquarters of Umbrella Company step by step. Fortunately, they were in a state of excitement at the moment. Otherwise, the distance of 50 kilometers would be equivalent to a marathon, which would be enough for most people to retreat.

When they were walking about 30 kilometers, someone organized the parade crowd to rest around, set up tents, and cook dinner.

The next morning, after leaving behind dense litter in the plains and woods that line the highway, move on.

"coming!"

At the main entrance of the headquarters industrial park, hundreds of guards stood in front of the gate with batons in their hands, looking at the dark crowd not far away, feeling terrified.

There are tens of thousands of people, they only have hundreds of people, and they cannot kill people, how can this be stopped?

Usually they are armed with assault rifles and electric shock batons, as long as someone invades, they can shoot directly.

But at this time, they represent the company, and they cannot do illegal and hurtful things.

"Come on!!!"

When the crowd saw the main entrance of the industrial park, someone raised their arms and rushed towards the gate of the industrial park with a large number of people.

"Block them!"

shouted the captain of the guard.

However, in the face of the impact of thousands of people, even if they are not ordinary people, they can play very little role.

Soon, a large number of people bypassed them, rushed to the wall of the industrial park, stepped on the ladder, and climbed towards the top of the wall.

"Zizizi..."

But unfortunately, the barbed wire on the top of the wall is not a decoration. When the hands of those who climbed to the top of the wall touched the barbed wire, they immediately twitched, and even the people who made them ladders fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Bring the ladder!"

At this moment, someone shouted.

The guards were startled, and saw that someone in the crowd was actually holding a ladder and leaning against the edge of the wall.

This is terrible, the ladder is very long, far exceeding the height of the wall, and it is easy to climb over the wall.

"Quick, stop them!"

The guards immediately gave up on the target in front of them, and ran towards those who were holding the ladder, trying to stop them in place.

After all, the guards were strong and not ordinary people, so they quickly controlled the ladder, and the crowd surrounded them, but there was nothing they could do.

As time passed, the crowd became more and more angry, even picking up stones on the ground and throwing them at the guards.

The guards also used their batons to shoot down the stones thrown at them one by one, and from time to time counterattacked those who rushed up beside them.

When counterattacking, they deliberately hit hard, severely wounding those who attacked them, and could no longer form combat effectiveness.

Pride had informed them that if they encounter deliberate attacks from the crowd during the blocking process, they can fight back in self-defense, as long as they don't die.

Legally speaking, it is not illegal.

For a while, the guards were even more relaxed.

The people in the crowd also noticed this. These guards hit too hard, either with broken hands or broken feet. They knocked one out and knocked the other out, but their flying props couldn't hit them.

They shifted their targets, and the crowd spread around the industrial park, surrounded it heavily, and began to throw all kinds of sundries into the park, glass bottles, cans, stones, and even some people made Molotov cocktails and threw them into the park. destroy.

"How long until the police arrive?"

Looking at the crowd outside the park, Yilumi asked with a frown.

"The police are blocked outside and can't get in."

Riley replied, and at the same time presented the images of the police cars and police officers outside the crowd on the screen.

"Then notify the state government and let them send the army. If these people destroy the production base and destroy the antibiotics, don't blame us for not warning."

"I see."

Kim Bradley replied that he thought so too.

With a gloomy expression, Yilumi bypassed the local government and directly notified the state government. Don't blame them for being cruel if they don't send troops to evacuate the crowd.

"Also, organize the company's employees to put out the fire."

Yilumi could clearly see with his eyes that raging fires had already ignited in some places in the industrial park, and it was all the good deeds of those who threw Molotov cocktails.

"I don't know what is good or bad!"

Illumi's eyelids drooped, and the human pupils instantly turned into golden eagle eyes, and at the same time activated the ability of arrogance. Relying on the eagle's super vision, he looked for those who threw the Molotov cocktails in the crowd, locked on, and the shadows under his feet shot out quickly.

"Hahaha, I told you not to disclose the manufacturing process, and told you not to let go of the authority!"

In the crowd, more than a dozen excited men gathered together and threw the made Molotov cocktails into the industrial park, laughing heartily while throwing them.

"puff!"

"Puff puff puff..."

However, for some reason, they suddenly fell down.

The people in the crowd didn't know why they fell down, and they were still shouting slogans and holding billboards loudly.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the headquarters building, Illumi withdrew her abilities, and her eyes turned into human pupils again.
