Chapter 665 The Crisis Hidden in the Shadows



At this time, the special police brigade and the soldiers from the military region had already lifted the danger alert.

With the cooperation of local police, the previously evacuated residents have been properly resettled.

At this point, some of the bolder guys also sneaked back.

The online debate is fierce, not only among the people in southern Beijing who are on the front lines and feel their lives are in danger, but also among idle onlookers in other places.

Doomsday theories, alien beast sieges, foreign invasions—people are all watching the drama unfold, saying all sorts of things.

However, given the previous incident in Yunnan, they are already quite adept at deleting and banning posts and videos online.

Although online public opinion has been suppressed, short videos are spreading like wildfire in various local groups in southern Beijing, which cannot be stopped or controlled.

Moreover, in addition to the emergency call lines, the municipal government hotline in Jingnan City is also overwhelmed with calls.

The city government spokesperson is still completely bewildered and has no idea what happened.

If Liu Zhe hadn't just brought back the latest intelligence from the military region, he would probably be making up a draft out of thin air right now.

However, even with firsthand information, most of it cannot be made public. He still has a lot to do before finalizing his story to the outside world.

Looking at the intelligence summary in his hand and the speech draft he had just written with the words "Dear Citizens," he scratched his head and went back to writing the draft, his hair falling out.

Meanwhile, in the northern suburbs, as more and more people are released from restrictions, the population has increased.

Many people who originally lived in the suburbs also flocked to this commercial street.

Some are there to be on the front lines of gossip, some to show off to their friends in the group, some to leak information to unscrupulous public accounts for payment, and some simply to join in the fun—the list goes on and on.

It's human nature to love joining in the fun; this is true all over the world.

However, there is only one person who dares to joke about their own life and take risks, who dares to court death.

After all, Chinese police officers wouldn't demonstrate their ability to empty a magazine in 2 seconds with 17 shots, which is why they aren't seen as terrifying by some reckless individuals.

However, these curious individuals were persuaded to return home by the special police officers who had blocked the road as soon as they arrived.

The main problem is that they can't ignore advice; the officers on duty here are special police, not regular police.

Although they are both police officers in a strict sense, one is responsible for handling community conflicts and mediating neighborhood relations, while the other is responsible for fighting criminals and dealing with monsters. In essence, they have different functions.

Even disregarding the fact that they are all awakened individuals with exceptional skills, they are equipped with a full range of riot control tools specifically designed to combat rioters.

If you dare to force your way in, they won't care if you outnumber them or not.

The next second you'll be on the ground, yelling, "I can't breathe!"

While they won't be as indifferent to public safety as the beautiful police in the Bald Eagle country, it's still quite easy to suffer a bit and then enjoy a three- to seven-day stay at the police station.

On the contrary, some smart people saw that the streets were blocked off and heavily armed special police were on duty there, and they had already guessed that the government would not let people in.

After circling around a few times, those familiar with the terrain quickly went to climb the stairs of a distant building.

Although it's far away and the power system is having problems, so I have to climb on foot, at least I can see what happened before.

The first teenager to react had already found his target and rushed into the distant office building alone.

Chen Shi's home is in a neighborhood just two streets away, so he is very familiar with the situation there.

He looked at the few guys sluggishly following behind him and a smug smile crept across his face.

Although he was different from the group of people behind him carrying long lenses and various filming equipment, he wasn't doing this for the small amount of money he was paid to provide unscrupulous media with material for fabricated stories.

Chen Shi simply wanted to post it in his group of cronies to show off.

To put it nicely, this is called self-actualization, which, in Maslow's hierarchy of needs, is at the top of the pyramid—the realization of self-worth.

The thought of the various pictures and videos of Yunnan Province posted by the netizen nicknamed "Feeling Uncomfortable When You Can't See the Little Man While Eating Mushrooms" in their game chat group a while ago, which received a lot of attention, made his heart burn with excitement.

Seeing that netizens in the group were discussing the sudden incident in southern Beijing, Chen Shi didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly. Soon he would be able to experience the thrill of being a celebrity.

Just as he rushed up to the roof, panting, before he could even be shocked by the huge crack in the distance, he saw a thin man quickly climb over the railing at the top of the building.

Chen Shi was filled with envy at that swift and decisive skill, thinking that this guy must be an Awakened One.

However, he was also wondering why no one had been faster than him on the way here. Perhaps this man had been staying here all along without leaving?

Just as the two passed each other, Chen Shi suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. A chill ran through his body. When he subconsciously turned his head to look, he only saw an endless black mist enveloping him, and he instantly lost consciousness.
