"First squad! Head to Huiming District to support the police! There’s a wanted criminal seizing supplies!"
"Second squad! There’s trouble with Awakeneds in a civilian organization in Chuanhui District! Arrest every one of them and bring them back!"
"Third squad! There’s a magnetic field fluctuation from a supernatural event in the new district! Resolve it as quickly as possible and then assist the second squad in suppressing the civilian Awakeneds!"
"..."
Sun Zhoushan sat in his office, continuously issuing commands, constantly monitoring the latest reports coming in.
Even though city security in Chengyang has greatly improved compared to other cities since the City Destruction crisis, various hidden malevolences still inevitably erge.
These malevolent individuals are like cockroaches in a house, when you can see them outside, it ans the dark places are already overcrowded.
Within three hours after the press conference ended.
The Chengyang City’s official branch received twice as many support requests as usual.
Originally, such requests were only made during supernatural situations or cases involving Awakeneds, but today’s cases mostly have nothing to do with supernatural events.
The most frustrating part is that He Zhan isn’t in Chengyang City during this critical ti!
Since his last mission, we only heard yesterday that he might return to Chengyang City by tomorrow or the day after.
"Damn it! If only I could just shoot and kill that bunch!" Sun Zhoushan muttered angrily.
He had to admit He Zhan’s suppressive abilities are indeed one of a kind in functionality.
While he possesses strong combat capabilities, he cannot effectively control situations under these circumstances. He can’t just go killing criminals in front of the public, can he?
Too many killings without legal verdicts would eventually make ordinary people worried about being inexplicably killed, thereby reducing their trust in the authorities and possibly leading them to commit cris as well.
With He Zhan around, such issues wouldn’t be a concern.
He can suppress those evil Awakeneds, and when they are unable to use their Awakened Abilities, a few policen can easily arrest them.
"Minister Sun! Ergency! There’s been an Awakened murder incident in Chuanhui District!" An investigator rushed into Sun Zhoushan’s office.
This imdiately made his expression grim.
Cris like forcibly seizing supplies or property are still controllable, but a murder incident is sothing else entirely.
Sun Zhoushan’s biggest fear is facing these Awakeneds who completely disregard pros and cons, solely intent on indiscriminate killing to create chaos.
"Second squad, investigate the details about the Awakened. If it’s confird as indiscriminate killing, you’re authorized to execute on-site!" After issuing the instructions through the communication device, Sun Zhoushan looked at the reporting person.
He then drew a gun from his waist and continued, "Now let’s talk about who you really are."
As soon as he spoke, he pulled the trigger.
Bang—
The originally hurried staff mber folded his body in an incredibly bizarre way to dodge the fatal bullet.
The wall behind him got a bowl-sized hole from the gunshot.
The staff mber returned to a normal posture and said mockingly, "Your reaction is remarkable; I thought I left no flaws?"
Unfazed by the taunt, Sun Zhoushan aid the gun again and said, "Brother, in the information network era, where is there a rush report where soone runs to the leader’s office first? In genuine ergencies, my communicator rings first."
Hearing this, the fake staff mber sighed.
He anticipated this issue before the operation began, but no one in the organization could remotely handle Sun Zhoushan’s special communicator, so they had to risk disguising to infiltrate.
Actually, it’s hard to bla them; who would’ve thought Sun Zhoushan’s communicator was made by an Awakened from the official squad using their ability?
This device isn’t just any ordinary electronic gadget that hackers could destroy.
"So, Minister Sun, I assu you’ve already guessed my purpose for coming here?" The fake staff mber leisurely drew a soft sword from his waist.
"To hinder the authorities’ control over city chaos, are you from the Promised Land?" Sun Zhoushan stood up calmly and subtly pressed the button on the right side of his communicator.
This was to notify the other Official Awakeneds of a special situation arising at his location.
"I’ve indeed heard of the Promised Land’s reputation, but unfortunately, our organization hasn’t reached the level to confront the entire governnt openly, only to pull off so minor tricks in the shadows." The fake staff mber shook his head regretfully.
"Minister Sun, you understand well that the second Supernatural Calamity will definitely lead to a collapse of social order at its outset. Even if the authorities manage to stabilize it like before, how long will it take? A year or two?"
"Faced with an utterly uncertain tiline, why shouldn’t we, who are more likely to survive, band together? Why give most of the limited resources to the ant-like ordinary people?"
"We just want to live, what’s wrong with that?"
As he spoke, Sun Zhoushan realized that this person is likely linked to the increasing incidents involving Awakeneds and resource plundering in the city.
They are not rely malevolent individuals sensing approaching chaos and acting; they are part of a preditated and organized operation.
Malice is gradually gathering.
"There are still 20 full days until the predicted arrival ti, aren’t you acting a bit too early?"
"Early? Not at all. If we act too late, the resources will be confiscated by the authorities to rescue those useless ones later," the fake staff mber lanted. "Now, most sizable civilian organizations were developed during the last Calamity, weren’t they? Are they all spotless? I doubt it."
"You can tolerate their existence, and when the second Supernatural Calamity re-stabilizes social order, you’ll be forced to tolerate our existence too. By then, we will still be law-abiding citizens! Hahaha!"
He couldn’t help but laugh aloud at this point.
His mission today was to create as much chaos as possible at the Chengyang City’s official branch, forcing them to recall personnel dispatched outside, buying ti for his comrades collecting resources outside.
Leveraging his ability to alter his body state and facial appearance at will, he had already planted several homade bombs during his infiltration of the branch.
If he could stall Minister Sun for a few more minutes, or eliminate him outright, the mission would be deed a success!
"Oh? Tolerate? Do you view the authorities as so incapable of distinguishing black from white? The Supernatural Calamity is ant to reset social order? Are the masses re sacrifices?"
A voice suddenly questioned the fake staff mber.
With scorn, he retorted, "Of course..."
But as soon as he began speaking, he realized sothing was amiss.
The voice wasn’t coming from Sun Zhoushan in front of him.
It was as if it emanated from the ethereal air, directly ringing in his ear.
Such eeriness made his hair stand on end, as he twisted his head around, trying to identify who had spoken.
Simultaneously, a wispy mist began to spread behind him...
