Chapter 1841 - 947: The List

Governor's armor, attachment!

Amidst the jeers of the crowd, Ji Jue's smile was exceptionally radiant.

It was as if all the world's vanished smiles had gathered on his face.

Holding Xu Chaoxian's hand, so unwavering.

——Unexpected, isn't it? This is the passionate bond we have with the Governor!!!

"I oversaw..."

At this moment, Zhu Lu's vision had gone dark, his face turned completely green, looking at Xu Chaoxian's suddenly refreshing expression, as if he'd seen a ghost.

Almost punched through the screen in front of him.

What the heck is this!!!

Completely numbed.

.

Usually, when facing an imminent covert attack, people generally have two choices: either risk startling the snake and make early preparations to eliminate the hidden danger.

Or mask patience, unwilling to sacrifice, can't catch a wolf without losing a goat, lure something fierce!

But, if one were to objectively analyze and carefully consider, it becomes apparent that the risks and hidden dangers of these two options are virtually indistinguishable.

This is the result of offensive and defensive distortions.

In this world, there's no wall without leaks, nor is there a foolproof defense strategy.

Even if one pumps up the entire venue's security to the extent of the Federation's central parliament, there will inevitably be lapses.

What's more, even if the entire event site is as secure as gold, won't attackers choose other locations?

There's no perfect plan.

Unless you directly accede to their wish, terminate the event, dissolve the Hai Zhou Science and Technology Expo, abolish martial arts!

So, caught between these two options, Ji Jue chose an unconventional method of engagement...

——[Heaven and Earth Same Life]!

You're going to attack, aren't you?

Then come on!

Straightforwardly come!

If you want to explode, explode; it doesn't matter. Not only does it not matter, I'll upgrade your package for free, add weight to your achievement, increase a high-level kill!

Brother, this chance for world fame is yours; it's up to your ability to seize it!

Then, Zhu Lu found himself incapable...

Not only Zhu Lu.

Outside the venue now, Huang Ming's expression spasmed repeatedly. Even standing under the air vent, he was drenched in sweat!

Fearful after the fact.

Just a second away from the bomb actually exploding!

Just a fraction away!

Only a tiny distance from himself and his nine clans turning to ash, never to return!

This is Xu Chaoxian, no, this is the deterrence that comes with the title [Governor]!

As the Federation's authority delegated to the locality, the manager of thirteen massive Central City Districts, the Governor's representation is far more than that of a mere Federation civil servant.

Each one of them is a pivot of the Federation Tian Yuan, each one is a potential Saint as the Heavenly Governor's vessel, carrying significant meaning with terrifying privilege... Even a cast-off like Xu Chaoxian sent to Hai Province is the same!

A fallen phoenix is still a phoenix, an estranged Governor is still a Governor.

At today's Hai Zhou Science and Technology Expo, the death of ten, twenty, even fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty thousand settlers is of no consequence despite the staggering figures.

Yet if Xu Chaoxian perished in this explosion today, the situation would spiral out of control, expanding beyond everyone's grasp.

Frankly, even the death of that old dog Fan Yun wouldn't be as serious as Xu Chaoxian's demise!

The first to go for the kill would be Han Hui!

Then, Han Hui would likely be directly eliminated by the enraged East City Governor... Furthermore, if any evidence were found, the entire Hanhai Alliance would face a sweeping investigation and purge by major institutions of Central City.

And if Xu Chaoxian miraculously didn't die...

How could he possibly not die?

Ji Jue went to such great lengths to bring this old dog here as a fall guy precisely for his use!

Even if by then Xu Chaoxian could still retain his life, Ji Jue would kindly help him find release.

A living Xu Chaoxian might be useless, but a dead Xu Chaoxian is endlessly valuable.

So, why aren't you dead yet?

Under the spotlight, Xu Chaoxian inexplicably shivered all over.

"Achoo!"

Amidst a chorus of jeers and mockery, Xu Chaoxian sneezed, feeling a chill running over him, pondering: "The air conditioning is on a bit strong."

"...Still, it's better to feel cool, many people wish they could but can't."

Under the shooting of numerous cameras, Ji Jue continued to smile brightly, seeming to chat idly in greeting, his lips moving:

"Live in hellish days a bit longer, and the air conditioning naturally won't be cold anymore."

Suddenly, Xu Chaoxian burst into laughter, apparently moved by his humorous words.

Next, he carelessly raised scissors, in the witness of all, snipping the red silk and flowers, shamelessly borrowing this charitable twilight and political achievement onto his old face.

Incidentally, using his own life, ensuring the safety of everyone inside the venue.

Only Ji Jue glanced back, towards the large screen behind him.

Full of anticipation.

Calculating the time, it should be about now?

Should explode, right?

Why hasn't it exploded yet?

These useless things, could they have chickened out?

It doesn't matter, if you don't explode...

Then I'll have to explode~

Boom!!!

Just as the live broadcast cut the scene and started playing the special charity action promo, the entire venue, no, the whole Hai Province Expo park, suddenly shook!

The earth shook subtly, and countless windows trembled violently, buzzing.

The audience inside the venue, immersed in music and melody, didn't notice, unaware, but the sky outside the venue had already changed color completely.

On the southeast side of the Hai Province Science and Technology Expo, right next to the coastal warehouse area, a dazzling Flame Light suddenly surged, with billowing blood-red waves rising to the sky.

Violent wind swept through, ravaging the entire park, as thick smoke rolled up like a giant pillar, and the burning light had already stung everyone's eyes.

Explosion!

It exploded!

In the chaotic screams, Huang Ming, who was about to get up and move in the coffee shop, already became completely dumbfounded.

Not only him, but all the participants in the action were also plunged into confusion and bewilderment.

An explosion?

Is this finally the signal to act?

But the direction seems a bit wrong, wasn't it supposed to be the central venue?

Why did it suddenly change to a warehouse area with no living people?

Is this right?

Right or wrong, it's already too late to react.

At the moment of the explosion, in the dense crowd outside the venue, suddenly someone jumped out... tore off the jacket to reveal robes full of scriptures and decorations!

Both hands picked up a submachine gun, pointed it at the sky, and pulled the trigger!

Da-da-da-da-da!!!!

In the midst of countless people's terrified screams and dodging, the scruffy-faced 'attackers' with various weapons shouted in unison:

"—I become evil!!"

Chants echoed from all directions continuously, gunfire erupted throughout the park, constant chaos, as if doomsday had descended.

But peculiarly, those with weapons in hand didn't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fire at the crowd, instead, they relentlessly fired blank shots at the sky, shouting and screaming.

"Long live Sacrificial Master Saint!"

"Transform evil into right, today!"

"Kill Xu Gou first!!!"

"Don't let Xu Chaoxian escape!"

"Kill!!!"

"Guah! Yow! Gah!!!"

What the hell?

On the roadside outside the café, Huang Ming had already become completely petrified, almost forgot where he was...

Where the heck did this Evil Cult spring from?!

More bizarrely, almost at the speed of light, shadows rose from all corners, underground platforms, and even like torrential rain, descended with the Flying Airship.

On the pitch-black exoskeleton armor flashed red and blue alternating police lights, amidst the deafening siren, these steel giants over five meters tall swiftly took over all security posts inside and outside.

The face's red indicator lights shone brightly, like Blood Eye, and the electric batons in their hands sparked blue!

As for the number, it was simply nightmare-like.

Dozens, hundreds, possibly even thousands...

Thousands of heavy exoskeleton devices, nearly matching early Power Armor performance, stomped the earth in uniform rumbling, fully locked down the park in under two minutes, then began guiding passengers for evacuation...

And before this, Huang Ming felt cold all over.

As if facing a mountain of blades and a sea of fire.

He felt the piercing malice, like torrential rain, descending from the sky.

No escape, cold sight everywhere, behind each camera, like invisible beasts in the dark, watching him hungrily.

As Isis's orders were distributed, the Paradise System lifted the final limits and resumed operation.

Countless Spirits of Creation circulated within the system, carrying information.

Amidst Meow Meow Hymns, calculations commenced!

Among a total of 160,000 targets, over 12,000 suspects were selected. Comparing actions, tracing history, analyzing models, checking consumption records, parsing accents, observing behavior, even sight, expressions, diet, scars, gait...

Thus, as calculations raced, the total suspicion count began to dive like a nosedive.

12,000... 10,000... 8,000... 4,000... 1,000...

1,000 key suspect names entered the system, monitored, calculations resumed, re-analyzing, so the count dropped further, 800... 600... 400... 300...

Three hundred names and files distributed, sent to every defense and security department member, permissions issued, operation privileges granted, weapon airdrops began.

Amidst the roar, huge metal crates fell from the sky, shattered, the massive entities landed into outstretched exoskeleton equipment arms, completed standard armor weapon module attachment!

Then, in key surveillance simulations, the list further compressed through comparison.

Finally, after receiving Tong family's rapid response and calibration, only fifty people remained!

In that moment, without warning, Huang Ming, Tian Shan, Baininger... each person's finger-ring instantly turned pitch-black!

Three teams in six batches, infiltrated New Spring, 39 operation members, plus seven insiders.

All exposed!

"Don't hesitate anymore!"

Inside the speaker channel, Huang Ming warned everyone, "It's an ambush, act immediately!!!"

Inside the park, over ten thousand Seeds of Mind rioted simultaneously!
