LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 313: Unless He's Not Afraid to Die
A coincidental event was that, just as the Paradise Bird was using "Flash Spirit" on their own people, the authorities, who had already secretly surrounded this area, also deployed the same device in the next moment.
Therefore, when the shells came raining down, no New Humans noticed!
Except for Luo Kun, who had psychic abilities, and that man with the gold-rimmed glasses, who suddenly widened his eyes.
"Activate the shield! Activate the shield!"
He yelled with all his might and at the same time rushed toward Robert, who was nearest to him.
The sturdy, large-framed man glanced at the person running toward him, seemed to think something, and voluntarily stepped forward to block.
Boom!
The earth-shattering explosion fell from above, shaking the underground base violently, and the deafening sound of the explosion lasted for a very long time, making it impossible to imagine the devastation that had occurred above!
The hard plates supporting the underground base cracked, thick smoke and the ruins of walls collapsed, drowning the terrified screams in the explosion.
Some tried to use their powers to support the building, but in the next moment, a wave of void fluctuations spread, turning their minds blank in an instant!
"Boom!"
The entire underground base collapsed completely!
The thick smoke from the explosion obscured the surrounding visibility, with only screams and the smell of blood spreading, Luo Kun curled up in a gaming chair, calmly watching the buildings fall around him.
He closed his eyes, listened to the fearful and desperate shouts in his ears, and revealed a smile of intoxication.
At that moment, a sudden gust of wind attacked from the side.
"Bang!"
Luo Kun abruptly turned his head.
The light cannon hit the falling ruins, and the disintegrated debris cleared to reveal the other side's eyes that shone with the green of emeralds, carrying a hint of amusement.
He seemingly never looked down upon anyone with arrogance, but in his eyes, everyone appeared to be nothing more than toys, merely a source of his amusement.
The person who wanted to seize the opportunity for a sneak attack and revenge was shocked when he saw those burning green eyes, suddenly filled with fear.
With a trembling voice, he gritted his teeth and said, "You actually sold our information to the authorities, you traitor! Do you think collaborating with the authorities will end well for you!"
Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Hearing this, Luo Kun innocently tilted his head, "What? What are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending! You acted against your own people, and now you're colluding with the authorities, the boss will never let you off!"
The bombing continued above, with wreckage all around. Perhaps knowing there was no escape, the man's attitude became increasingly defiant, his expression fierce and venomous as he glared at him.
"Ah?"
Luo Kun still had that puzzled look.
This was not an act, because Luo Kun truly did not know that the authorities were going to strike this base tonight, and he was also unaware of what happened right before their attack.
However, these facts did not prevent him from enjoying the humans' struggle for survival!
The more arrogant and presumptuous they had behaved, the more disgusting and ugly they appeared now, at death's doorstep, where no one could keep up appearances.
Well... except for that person.
Indeed, that was a bit more amusing.
...
"Boom, boom, boom—"
On this cold, rainy night, in the lowest stratum of the impoverished Blacklane district, a place where it was almost impossible for the light of the sky to shine, the most splendid brilliance exploded!
The surroundings for kilometers were violently shaking, with screams and bursts intermingling, the fierce explosion destroyed the already fragile suspended structures, shattered the poorly made brick houses, smoke filled the air, and the fiery explosion shot into the sky!
Drones hovered in the low sky, support columns emitted a faint glow, the bombing did not affect the buildings above, all these signified that the attack was well planned.
Those who rushed out during the explosion tried to seek help from the drones, from any person in sight, but what greeted them was an even more desperate second round of bombing!
The piercing sound of the sonic boom exploded again!
A bright light traveled from afar, like a meteor across the pitch-black night, brilliantly reflected on the walls of skyscrapers resembling LCD screens, then burst open beside them.
Boom!
This was a clear massacre!
Several kilometers away from there, atop a building, Yin Banqian and Cheng Can silently watched the scene unfold.
"Perhaps, the situation of this world is even more serious than I thought," said Cheng Can, shaking his head, no longer with his usual easygoing demeanor.
"Poor, nobility, tycoons, upper echelons, lower strata, the social class division already shows the difference," commented Yin Banqian, still calm.
The development of technology, the widespread use of machinery and neural chips, meant humanity no longer needed cheap, time-consuming labor.
No longer needed those surplus people.
So for those standing high above, these were disposable things, whether recklessly abandoned or destroyed did not matter, after all, they were no longer called "citizens."
Such was the change brought about by class.
Cheng Can scratched his arm, "This kind of social system is too sick. I'm glad there's no such class division where I come from. And even if it were to develop to this state, it would probably take hundreds of years, and I'd be long dead by then."
Yin Banqian chuckled, "Then you're certainly worried a bit too early."
...
As they spoke, the second round of bombing had also ended, and the drones began to spray water to extinguish the rising thick smoke.
Below the black smoke was nothing but ruins, seeping with bloodstains, the horrifying remains of limbs strewn about, the entire region's ground pockmarked with dozens of large and small craters, the deepest reaching a depth of several meters!
