Chapter 134

As Lu Shiyu tilted the thermos, the meteorite powder contained inside began to spill out little by little, and drifted to different locations with the wind.

Amid the chaos below, someone suddenly noticed that fine snow had begun to fall from the sky. The snow was so tiny that it was barely noticeable and appeared silently.

Chen Yunliang below raised his hand to catch a few particles, then looked up and saw a scene like snow at the beginning of the year. Small white particles floated in the air, slowly fell down, and sprinkled equally on everyone below, including the deformed creatures.

After the distorted creatures came into contact with these white particles, their original movements began to slow down. One distorted creature that was about to step on a fallen pedestrian suddenly stopped, as if it had suddenly come to its senses and stopped moving. After looking around for a moment, it ran to a nearby fruit stall and started eating fruit, as if it was not the one that had tried to attack the pedestrian just now.

Situations like this were repeated below. Lina, who was cleaning up the distorted creatures that were endangering the people, just raised her knife to chop them down, but she saw that the distorted creatures in front of her ignored her, walked around her and found a shady place to lie down and rest. Lina, who was nervous, was stunned and had no idea what was going on.

The deformed creatures that had been violently attacking humans seemed to become docile at this moment and were no longer aggressive. If you ignore their ugly appearance, they are now no different from ordinary animals that have strayed into human society.

Seeing that the distorted creatures no longer attacked actively but took a leisurely stroll, Chen Yunliang and Shao Xingyang were finally able to catch their breath.

Chen Yunliang pinched it and found it a little hard, so it was not real fine snow. Combined with the sudden changes in the deformed creature, Chen Yunliang immediately guessed that it was the effect of the meteorite.

The people on the opposite side had not yet realized what was happening. They only knew that the originally obedient deformed creature suddenly became uncontrollable and no longer attacked, but crawled around like an unintelligent animal.

"Hey! Hurry up and get to me! You monsters, don't you understand orders?"

The man angrily kicked the deformed creature closest to him and kicked it away directly, but now these deformed creatures didn't listen to him at all, and no matter how he kicked, it was useless.

"No way, are you scared without these deformed creatures?" Shao Xingyang sneered, "That's all. I don't know how someone like you managed to get into this kind of army."

The guy on the opposite side was so angry that his teeth were about to break. The real reason why his defense broke down was because Shaoxing Yang really hit his sore spot.

The unit he belongs to is of a high level. Although their main job is combat, all the dirty work is left to the exploration team, and they only need to train within the base.

Besides, he got in through his parents' connections. He became the captain even though he was obviously weaker than his classmates. Because they were not needed at all in normal times, he was allowed to stay here as a filler until today. His parents chose to put him in here because they saw that this unit had no practical use. There was no war and they were not needed to go out. Even though it was said to be very dangerous, there had never been any actual combat.

Who would have thought that he would actually be asked to do it today, but it turned out to be just a showpiece.

Any team member in the rear is stronger than him, but no one wants to move now, for fear of offending him if they get in the spotlight. Not only will they not get the benefits they deserve, but they will also be held accountable later.

The man's fragile self-esteem was shattered in an instant, and he threatened to teach Shaoxing Yang a lesson.

But no matter how much he waved his hands, there was no response at all.

Shao Xingyang scratched his ear and said, "To show me something, you mean showing me doing radio gymnastics? That's not pretty either."

"How is that possible!" The man kept trying to use his supernatural powers, but it was all in vain.

Why can't he use his special ability?

Chen Yunliang patted the white particles on his head and was not surprised.

Although such a small amount of meteorites is not enough to change the deformed creatures back to normal, it is enough to prevent some people with lower abilities from using their superpowers.

Seeing that the other party had been fighting for a long time without making any noise, the two men decided not to continue fighting. They picked up their swords and crossbows and prepared to jump to the opposite building to end the battle.

The man was still immersed in the panic of losing his superpowers, and when he raised his head, he was punched by Shao Xingyang.

"What I hate most in my life is a loser who has no ability but still acts as my boss!"

The team members in the rear silently agreed. After being beaten back several steps, the man became completely furious and commanded the people behind him to go forward and fight.

The two groups of people were fighting each other. Without their super powers, they just fought with fists to the flesh. Unfortunately, Chen Yunliang had the super power of healing, which made the health bars of the two people infinitely thicker. It was like cheating. No matter how the opponent hit them, they could not be defeated.

He was beaten repeatedly and accidentally hit by a few punches from his own team mates. The man quickly evacuated the center of the melee, hissing while covering his swollen mouth. He didn't know who took advantage of the opportunity to attack him.

Suddenly, he caught sight of the gun on the ground and suddenly felt that his chance to turn the tables had come. He hurriedly picked up the gun from the ground and aimed at Shaoxing Yang, whom he hated so much.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the next moment, the gun in his hand was knocked away by a strong force.

Yan Hong shook the chain and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems I came back at the right time."

It was not until Yan Hong came back that the man realized that Yan Hong had disappeared at some point and suddenly appeared again, ruining his plans.

Just as the man was about to reach for another gun beside him, he heard the sound of bullets being loaded nearby.

"Don't move. Everyone, stand in a row, put your hands on your head, squat down, and don't talk to each other."

Yan Hong looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Guan Wei and a group of people surrounding them.

When they saw that the people led by Guan Wei had guns in their hands, they immediately became obedient.

Seeing Guan Wei, the man asked persistently, "What do you want to do? Betray Dawn Base and join Dawn Base?"

Guan Wei put his hands in his pockets and chuckled disdainfully: "Betrayal? No, no, no, you're mistaken. I just think the current base needs some small changes, but I never said I wanted to leave."

After saying that, Guan Wei raised his head, looked at the white particles still floating around, and complained, "Why is it like dandruff? It made me have to wash my hair when I get home. I even got my hair done specially today."

Under the guidance of the people brought by Guanwei, the crowd quickly calmed down and evacuated in an orderly manner according to the command.

At the same time, the entire process, from the sudden appearance of the distorted creatures to the stabilization of the situation, was recorded by cameras and uploaded to the social platform of the Dawn Base. For some reason, it was not taken down and was widely circulated.

Before long, even people who were not in the central area of the Dawn Base learned about what had just happened there. The video was reposted in large quantities, and there was no time to even remove the video and ban the accounts that spread it. Soon, everyone in the entire Dawn Base knew that a large number of deformed creatures had appeared in the core area of the Dawn Base, and a terrible attack had occurred. This was the biggest accident scandal since the base was built.

There happened to be a high-intensity surfer among the crowd at the scene. He took advantage of the fun and took photos of the deformed creatures walking around and uploaded them, which soon brought him a huge amount of traffic.

People who had hardly ever seen deformed creatures watched those ugly deformed creatures up close through the screen online. As more and more people uploaded photos, some people even began to claim that deformed creatures were just like that, and that an adult man could directly fight a deformed creature if he wanted to kill him. The special discussion environment greatly weakened people's fear of deformed creatures, and they created the illusion that deformed creatures were not that scary.

Not only that, the white particles floating in the air were also noticed. After the initial attention on the distorted creatures, these powders that made the distorted creatures docile occupied all the hot searches. A rumor soon appeared on the Internet that the reason why the distorted creatures suddenly stopped attacking was because of the white powder. Although it sounded far-fetched, it spread very quickly.

The clerk who was cleaning up the store heard the announcement on TV. When he looked up, he saw Lu Shiyu standing on the towering clock tower on the screen and couldn't help but swear.

"Why is Sister Lu on TV?! Isn't she out of the base?"

When the others heard the sound, they hurried over. The picture on the TV screen was quickly cut off, but they had already seen it clearly. Lu Shiyu had just appeared in the live broadcast!

The videos and screenshots circulating online are still fermenting, but the parties involved in the whole incident are completely unaware of it. They only know that they and their companions have just escaped danger and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What happened afterwards was all what Lu Shiyu heard from Tang Zeyu. It was said that after she sprinkled the jar of meteorite powder, the deformed creatures became very well-behaved and began to undergo some subtle changes.

The guard's job became much easier after no longer having to worry about the distorted creatures. After successfully evacuating the people, he took his men to control the entire situation, including surrounding the central administrative building. Any internal information was blocked, and even Tang Zeyu did not know the details.

The news of the central area of the distorted biological airborne base successfully aroused public anger after being widely spread. The resentment that had been suppressed for a long time broke out at this time, and the dissatisfied people protested online and offline, marched and demonstrated, and even went on strike.

Under tremendous pressure, the original person in power was ousted, and someone else was quickly appointed to take over the management responsibilities.

It stands to reason that taking office at this time would be like being roasted on the fire, which is not much different from digging one's own grave, but he also brought good news when he took office.

The newly appointed officials directly acknowledged the speculation circulating online that the white powder could restore deformed creatures to normal animals. After euphemistically expressing that the base was already conducting research on it, the public's original opposition was instantly forgotten, and the discussion shifted from whether the base was about to be destroyed to whether humans could leave the base.

It seemed as if everything was heading in the direction of the optimal solution. Not only were the original stubborn officials replaced, successfully diverting the scandal of the deformed creatures, but the existence of the meteorite was also disclosed in a relatively harmonious manner. The matter has been settled, and no one is going back to argue about it anymore.

Lu Shiyu leaned back on the sofa and looked at the fresh newspaper that had just been published this morning. Between the lines, one could see people's hope for a new life and various speculations about the development of the base.

Looking at the modified and beautified content in the newspaper, Lu Shiyu felt a little subtle in his heart. After knowing the truth, looking at these modified things again, it was really a different feeling.

Tang Zeyu walked out of the kitchen with a cup of hot tea, walked to the back of the sofa, leaned over, put his head next to Lu Shiyu, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Since that day, the originally tight schedule suddenly became empty. Lu Shiyu, who was restless, always wanted to know what was happening outside, but the current situation was not good. Tang Zeyu was worried about Lu Shiyu walking around outside. It would be troublesome if he encountered revenge from the remnants. Moreover, Lu Shiyu had some injuries that needed to be healed, so it was not suitable for him to go out. Therefore, Tang Zeyu specially ordered a daily newspaper for Lu Shiyu to relieve his fatigue.

Lu Shiyu put down the newspaper, took the mug, thought for a moment and said, "I'm trying to bite into the pie painted by politicians. It's a bit hard and I can't eat it."

Tang Zeyu chuckled and said, "It's within expectations."

Lu Shiyu had never been exposed to politics in the first half of his life. It was normal for him to feel uncomfortable after discovering that he could fool the masses with sweet words even in the most embarrassing reality. The huge gap made Lu Shiyu unable to help but worry, and he was eager to find a definite answer.

Lu Shiyu looked up and asked Tang Zeyu, "Will the future really be as beautiful as we expect now?"

Tang Zeyu leaned over with a smile on her face and gently kissed the corner of Lu Shiyu's eyes.

"Yes, we will all have a bright future, a future that we will create with our own hands."
