The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 365: Justice

This time, the government has used human rights as a weapon to blockade Phoenix.

They just want to lift the blockade.

This scared the people outside.

Each state has different ideas. For example, California, New Mexico, which are adjacent to Arizona, plus Utah and Nevada, are strongly opposed.

There was even a White House petition launched.

When the federal government saw someone petitioning the White House, it immediately jumped out and said that there were too few petitioners and that this was undemocratic.

What is the model of reverse operation? This is it.

The more the federal government claims that the disease is not a big deal, the more this group of people know that there is a big problem with the disease.

The most important point is that there was no news blockade and the media reported extensively on the tragic conditions of the deaths.

Just one look at that dead thing will make you feel so sick that you won't want to eat for three days.

While the federal government is challenging people's perceptions, it is also allowing the media to report extensively.

It can be said that the effect is immediate.

Because the federal government said that there were too few petitions and it didn’t count, it seemed that it still wanted to open up, but in fact it was telling those people to come and petition!

Jia Yu watched these operations in silence.

These bastards are doing utterly unscrupulous things but are not prepared to take any blame.

It is not okay to continue the blockade just because the people oppose it.

What if something really happens and you guys bite back at us?
Online public opinion highlights a non-stick pan.

Aren’t there enough cases of people praising one second and scolding the next?

For the federal government, when public opinion arises, we are the ones being scolded; when the situation turns around, we are still the ones being scolded.

But this petition to the White House is a direct way of shifting the blame.

Even if something really happens by then, such as discovering the truth about the experiment, or the people in Phoenix can’t stand it anymore.

That's not what the government is asking for.

It’s what the people demand.

Two hundred million Americans democratically decided that one million people in Phoenix would be trapped.

This is the so-called drawback of democracy. As long as 51% of people are satisfied, it’s enough. Who cares what the other 49% think?
This silent deprivation of human rights is sometimes more terrifying than dictatorship.

Because in the latter case you at least have a clear target of hatred.

As for the former, unless you want to fight them to the death.

Luke walked in: "Mr. Jia, what should we do next?"

"Let's hide for now and enjoy a peaceful life for a while." Jia Yu sighed, "These leftists are all crazy."

"They are." Luke said, "We all know that conservatives are sometimes radical, but if they lose, they lose. They abide by the rules of the game."

"But the left is not like that. They will do anything to get what they want. Even if they lose, they will continue to make things difficult for you. They will do anything to win."

Jia Yu smiled and said, "You still care about politics?"

Luke spread his hands and said, "Presidential candidates always come to the military to give speeches, right? I'm an officer, not a private, so I naturally want to learn more about it. Maybe I can get promoted in the future."

And on the other side.

Catherine, covered in wounds, walked to the door of the medical building carrying a huge hairless rat head.

Some soldiers immediately pointed their guns at her, but when she showed her ID, they looked at her in disbelief.

Catherine walked all the way into Morgan's office.

When she walked in, Morgan looked at her suspiciously.

Catherine threw the huge rat head directly to Morgan.

This thing certainly doesn't belong to the Rat King, but is a giant rat that evolved from his rat group.

Catherine looked at Morgan's expression and sneered, "You seem very disappointed."

"Are you okay?"

"If your eyes are useless, I can help you poke them out." Catherine sneered: "Do you think I'm okay now?"

Catherine's current appearance is indeed miserable. Her lips are terribly white and her body is completely bloodless. Even among white people, her whiteness is extremely unhealthy.

In addition to these, he was covered in dirt and various wounds.

"How did you survive?"

"Those rats didn't kill me." Catherine looked at Morgan: "Where is Morris?"

"He left for headquarters the day before yesterday." Morgan asked curiously, "The rats didn't kill you?"

"They're smarter than you think, Morgan." Catherine sat down on the sofa next to her. She let out a long sigh, "I need potion."

Morgan raised his hand and threw a bottle to her: "Tell me in detail."

Catherine injected the medicine without any hesitation, and her complexion finally improved.

Then she said, "Just like the guys raised by the headquarters, the group of rats did the same thing. Not only did they not kill me, they also provided me with food and water. They locked me in a pipe, and all I had to do was provide some blood for the Rat King every three days."

Morgan was stunned: "This is totally unheard of."

"Contact headquarters." Catherine looked like she didn't want to pay attention to him: "I need to go back and rest. I don't want to stay in this place anymore."

"You haven't told me how you escaped."

"Didn't you see what I brought back?" Catherine looked at him dissatisfiedly: "I killed their Rat King."

"Where did you get the injury?" Morgan still looked at her suspiciously: "I need to know the specific details."

"I killed the rat king who came to drink my blood, and then the rats suddenly went crazy. Those outside started to attack each other, and those close to me started to attack me. But I had been observing there for a long time. After I ran away for a distance, the rats that were chasing me suddenly stopped for some reason and all retreated."

Morgan thought for a moment.

There seems to be no problem.

In fact, this was the answer Catherine had prepared long ago.

Although she knew some information, she shouldn't have known it after being captured by the rat.

"I'm going to take a shower first." Catherine knew that she would make mistakes if she spoke too much, so she said directly: "Please help me contact Bob."

Morgan said dissatisfiedly: "I am the supervisor here, Catherine."

"Of course I know, but I know where the hairless mice are hiding. If you want a route map, just do as I say." Catherine paused for a moment and then said, "Don't expect me to tell you directly, Morgan."

After saying that, Catherine went out.

Although Morgan looked grim, he knew the seriousness of the matter.

In Area 51, Bob found Berlick first.

"General, Catherine is not dead!"

Bolick was stunned: "Not dead?"

"Yes, she's back. We originally divided the rats in Phoenix into three types: long-haired, short-haired, and hairless. When the Hoodie Man appeared before, the rats didn't see any hairless rats."

"Of course I know this, otherwise what were we waiting for?"

"That group of hairless rats never left the sewers, and according to Catherine, many rats from the other two populations have become food for those rats. They evolve by devouring their own kind."

As he said that, Bob told Berlick the news that Catherine had been 'brought out'.

To be honest, even Bolick himself was shocked when he knew the truth.

Is the sociality of that group of mice already so perfect?
They even knew how to feed humans.

And as mentioned at the beginning, if the mice stop chasing after a certain distance, there are generally only two possibilities.

One is that the mice know where the danger zone is and they feel it is too dangerous to go beyond a certain distance and will not go out.

But Catherine was still in the sewer at the time. Why would the rat feel dangerous if she hadn't left the sewer?

Then there is only the second possibility, that is, the rats have no time to care about Cather, or, after the death of a rat king, the rat colony will fall into a brief period of chaos, and then... a second rat king will soon appear to stop the chaos.

Could it be that the reason why the rats first rushed out of the sewers was because they were at war?
If that's the case, how can this be called a group of rats?
Bolick looked at Bob and said, "Send someone to investigate those rats."

"Catherine has given us a map, and we sent people there. There was a lot of blood, but no dead rats. That's why I think rats evolved by devouring their own kind."

The corners of Bolick's mouth twitched. He looked at Bob and suddenly said, "Do you know what I'm thinking of, Bob?"

Bob shook his head slightly.

Bolick pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm wondering, if humans had the execution ability of mice, and after being enlightened by potions, began to select the survival of the fittest, would humans also evolve rapidly?"

Bob was shocked when he heard this: "General, this idea is too dangerous."

Bolick said slowly: "We have some overseas laboratories, don't we? Never mind, this is just an idea that suddenly came to me, don't worry about it."

Bob quickly changed the subject.

"What about Catherine?"

"Let her come back."

Julia's face turned pale at this time: "They are against humanity!"

Smith said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do, sir. They've already figured out what they're doing. Everyone can see what the first few people who were vaccinated are like now."

"Although they don't have superhuman strength like super soldiers, their youthful appearance has attracted many people. Maybe we should have killed Morris earlier. Now, everything is too late."

Julia's face darkened: "Of course I know it's too late. Youth and young bodies are what those bastards have always desired! From the beginning of the Super Soldier Program, their goal was not to make Meili stronger, but to make themselves live longer!"

"Now, no one can stop Berlick. And I seriously suspect that the potion Berlick gave was incomplete. Those people need weekly injections to stay young, which makes them extremely dependent on Berlick! That's why they support this anti-human thing so strongly! Because they need those raw materials more than anyone else!"

Julia looked at Smith: "We almost won!"

Smith sighed, "Our super soldier stabilizing potion has been making steady progress. The Bazel family has even produced a five-minute version. Moreover, the raw materials we have here are far inferior to those of Bolick and his team."

"Although the Super Soldier Potion can turn ordinary people into super soldiers for five minutes, and has no other side effects except drug resistance, five minutes can turn the tide of the battle for the soldiers, but for those people, it is not as attractive as returning to youth. After all, they don't need to fight."

Julia looked a little anxious: "Can't Dark Gold Pharmaceuticals research something like this?"

"Uh," Smith said helplessly, "You'll have to ask Xiong En about this."

Julia was helpless.

Of course she knew how difficult this thing was.

Because what Bolick developed was not an anti-aging medicine at all.

But it's a potion that uses other people's lives to exchange for those guys' lives.

Every week or so of youth may be purchased at the cost of a life in Phoenix!

This is the result of the Super Soldier Project consuming a large amount of research funds, which investors cannot refuse to buy.

Julia didn't know how to break the deadlock for a moment.

This is mainly because of the Basel family. They only use real volunteers for clinical trials.

Julia now finds it very strange that a group of gangsters would not do something that the other side enjoys doing.

They are spreading rumors and propaganda at the same time. In the current environment, it won’t take long for the White House petition to be completed.

By then, the entire Phoenix city will become their biological factory.

With those potions, Borlik can win over more people.

But the actual situation was even worse than Julia thought.

The number of petitions to the White House is growing too fast.

After a few days of fermentation, the number of people who fell ill in Phoenix decreased, but the number of people who were infected and became ill increased.

A quick search will reveal that these people had more or less contact with people from Phoenix before they died.

The source of all this points directly to Phoenix City as the culprit.

The petition website has been down several times due to the influx of traffic.

Because those people think they have discovered the truth!
This huge conspiracy was discovered.

night.

Jia Yu at the Mallory residence shook his head.

He looked over there at Mallory: "How are you thinking about it?"

Mallory looked a little confused: "Is what you said true?"

"What's the benefit of lying to you, Lori? Or what's the value of lying to you?" Robin said, "In two days, Phoenix City will be completely blocked, and the medical buildings and medical laboratories here will be turned into various vaccine development centers. At that time, some fools in Phoenix City will take the initiative to walk into the cage specially made for them, just like chickens in a chicken farm, and be slaughtered at will."

"There must be some cured guys among this group of people, in order to stabilize the situation in Phoenix. In addition to them, there will be a large number of missing cases in Phoenix."

"They're going to arrest people, right?"

"Not just arresting people, because every resident of Phoenix will find out that they are not sick. Since they are not sick, they will naturally want to leave Phoenix to prevent themselves from being infected. They will do this no matter what. Mallory, tell me, if everyone thinks this way, what would you think if your neighbor's family suddenly disappeared at this time?"

Mallory's mouth twitched. "I would think they were lucky to have escaped, right?"

"Congratulations, Mallory, you guessed it right." Jia Yu tapped his fingers on the table and smiled, "Someone has already disappeared like this, and the basic foundation on which you rely for survival will completely collapse in the future."

"If you become an accomplice of these people, believe me, it won't be long before you won't be the mayor. And if you are unwilling to help them control those citizens, you will be the one lying on the operating table."

"You have a secret they desperately need. I just told you about the Super Soldier Program and the aftereffects of Phase 5. The good thing is that once you succeed, it's fixed."

"Although the drug we studied has no side effects, the time limit is too great. And you, Mallory, not only do you not have the side effects of the fifth-stage drug injection, but you also don't have the time limit we have. If you were the person in charge of the project, a person who even a major general had to work for you, what would you do when facing such a mayor?"

Mallory is a politician after all. He sighed and said, "I am not qualified to sit around that table and eat. I can only be the food on the table."

Jia Yu nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you still have this clear understanding, Mallory."

Mallory looked at Jia Yu helplessly: "But what can I do? Tell the people the truth?"

"Of course you can't do anything now. Even if you tell the people the truth, they will just think you are a politician who helps them cover up the truth. At least that's certainly the case now."

"Then what do I do?"

"At the appropriate time, lead your citizens to resist these executioners! For yourself and for your justice! So, Mallory, from now on, you have to record a video."

"Huh? What video?"

Jia Yu waved his hand, and a mouse crawled up from somewhere and took a bite of Mallory's arm.

Mallory screamed in pain: "Damn it! What is this for!"

Jia Yu smiled and said, "They played dirty tricks and let the world witness the ugliness of human nature. We must do the opposite and let them know the glory of human nature."

"Trust me Mallory."

"Trust you what? Trust you that I won't be bitten to death by this thing?"

"No, believe me, justice will prevail!"

Rome is a reporter for ABC TV.

At the same time, he had been following and reporting on events in Phoenix.

And unfortunately, he was bitten by a rat.

However, in order to film and collect evidence to obtain first-hand information about Phoenix, he never told anyone about this matter.

I simply bandaged it and continued my investigation.

He gave a lot of soldiers money to buy information from them, and for this, this guy even found a job as a bartender in a bar in Phoenix.

Bars have always been a good place to get intelligence since their inception.

But now, Luo Mai felt that something was wrong with this matter.

I was bitten, so according to the time, I should have become ill, right?

But I didn't feel any discomfort at all, I even felt refreshed.

But if it's just himself, Luo Mai will only think that he has antibodies, but don't forget what he does.

Many soldiers frequent this bar every day, and when they drink too much, they often complain about being bitten.

But now they are just like me, completely normal people.

Luo Mai has been observing for three days. He has strong observation and memory, so he can be sure that those soldiers who came here to drink and were bitten are really fine!
An investigative reporter's professional radar told him that something was wrong!

After get off work, Luo Mai took out his recorder: "May 5, the third day of recording, I was in great health. At the same time, I saw Fatty Snake. I remember him very clearly because he was the first customer I received. He came to drink with bandages wrapped around his body, and his companions laughed at him for being bitten by a rat."

"But he is also safe. This is the sixth soldier I can confirm is not infected. This is completely inconsistent with what the government said."

"I need to find out the truth for the people of Phoenix and for my professional ethics as a journalist."
