Eternal Night

Chapter 280 Conflict
Gao Changgong sighed, put a cigarette to his nose and smelled it. He was reluctant to smoke it, but he didn't put it down either, so he continued to smell it.

He has been semi-quitting smoking recently and has set a limit of five cigarettes a day for himself. This is his fourth one and it is still a little after eleven o'clock in the morning, so he has no choice but to save.

This unconscious smell of cigarettes is actually his state when he is thinking about important things.

Difficult.

Ever since Chu Minghao was trapped on the weekend, the reconstruction work of the Unified Human Government, which had been going on smoothly, came to a halt. That was not all. The Land of Redemption was beginning to become filled with a foul smell, especially the current Land of Redemption branch of the Unified Human Government, which had begun to show obvious signs of a power struggle.

Fighting for power is one thing, but these people have come to the Land of Redemption since they woke up to do logistical and clerical work, and have never entered the dream world. Their goal of fighting for power is actually to seek stability. At least at this stage, a situation similar to that of Company Thirteen will not happen.

The real trouble is the militant faction... that is, the group of people who have entered the dream world and set up shelters. Regardless of whether they have extraordinary powers or not, at least they have a way out. Even if they don't have this place of salvation, they will not starve to death or be trapped to death. Their attitude is changing.

"Human selfishness."

Gao Changgong sighed and looked out the window. He happened to see an autonomous security robot over six meters tall passing by. He couldn't help but sigh again.

"These robots are still good. It would be great if they could be brought into a deeper dream world. They are reliable, stable, and sturdy..."

As he was speaking, there was a sudden explosion on the street in the distance. A huge oval object flew a thousand meters away and hit his window. He was so scared that he shuddered all over. When he looked carefully, he saw a whole mechanical head embedded in the wall, and the pair of mechanical eyeballs were still flashing at him.

"..."

Gao Changgong's mind was full of question marks. He even leaned close to the mechanical head and took a closer look to make sure that he was not dreaming or having some kind of hallucination. Then he heard a commotion on the street in the distance, with a lot of voices making a noise, and the sound of the mechanical alarm was the most obvious.

"Hands up, citizen, you are suspected of vandalism and attempted vandalism..."

"Fuck you, I was standing here without moving, and then a bald robot suddenly came out from the crowd and slapped me, and now you say I destroyed public property!?"

"Hands up, citizens..."

Gao Changgong crushed the cigarette in his hand, then hurriedly pushed away the mechanical head embedded in the wall, and jumped out of the window without thinking.

He recognized the voice, and because he recognized it, he was both anxious and happy. He was anxious because he was afraid that the person would demolish the town, but he was happy because the person had finally returned. The person he had been waiting for had finally returned!
On the other side, at the entrance to the town.

Originally, Wu Xianxiao was looking at the town in front of him, which was a mixture of the rural atmosphere of the 20th century, the urban atmosphere of the 21st century, and the future science fiction atmosphere. When he saw the long queue at the entrance of the town, he suddenly felt very happy.

Not to mention anything else, the popularity alone made him satisfied. Compared to the deadness on Gaia, at least there was enough human presence here. But before he could be happy, just as he started queuing, a six-meter-tall robot patrolled beside him. This was normal, and the people around him didn't react. Apparently, this thing was commonplace.

Wu Xianxiao had no intention of reacting, but who knew that the robot would stop after walking up to him, then turn its head towards him, as if scanning something, and then actually make a sound to him.

"Mr. Wu Xianxian, first-class citizen, please stop your behavior."

"?"

Wu Xianxiao's mind was full of question marks. He looked up at the robot and spread out his hands to show that he did nothing. However, he didn't expect that the robot's eyes were gradually turning red.

"You want to destroy public property, searching, searching... You want to kill me?"

"??"

Wu Xianxiao felt that when he typed the question mark, it was not because he had a problem, but because he felt...

"Snapped."

The robot suddenly stretched out its hand and slapped him on the body. All the people queuing around were shocked. Then they saw Wu Xianxian motionless. Then he stretched out his hand and pulled the robot's arm, easily breaking it as if he was pulling a sanitary napkin. Then the man brutally twisted the entire robot into scrap metal, and even took off its head and threw it away a kilometer away.

All of a sudden, the robots that were maintaining order all ran towards him, electricity appeared on their hands, and they shouted a warning to Wu Xianxiao. "Raise your hands, citizen, you are suspected of destroying public property and attempting to continue destroying public property..."

Wu Xianxiao was immediately furious. He started to roll up his sleeves and said, "Fuck you! I was standing here without moving, and then a bald robot suddenly came out of the crowd and slapped me in the face. Now you say I'm trying to continue destroying public property!?"

"What the eye saw, come here, I'll fix it for you!"

It was not until then that the people in the queue realized what had happened. They looked at the pile of scrap metal at Wu Xianxiao's feet with horror. They ran towards the security entrance without thinking. Although they were not allowed to enter for the time being, they all crowded at the security entrance and shouted loudly, saying things like nightmares were coming, monsters appeared, corporate spies, and People's Revolutionary League terrorist attacks.

Wu Xianxiao didn't care and was ready to take action. At this time, more people appeared from behind him, led by the fifty-year-old man, followed by the other eleven people. They also came to this land of salvation from Gaia. They were a little dazed when they first came out, and then they saw Wu Xianxiao confronting five Order Robots.

"This is……"

The twelve people were all stunned. The young man reacted the fastest and immediately stepped forward to stop it. However, just as he took two steps forward, a ball of fire exploded in front of him, burning him so much that he retreated repeatedly. In just one or two seconds, the two Order Robots were dismantled into scrap metal.

The order robot is more than six meters tall and as thick as two people. Although it is not equipped with lethal weapons, it also has common treatment equipment, such as stun current and so on. The key point is that it is made of steel. Who the hell has ever seen a human being smash it to pieces with just a slap!
"stop!"

At this time, people rushed out from the safety entrance. The leaders were very fast and several meters high. They were obviously either extraordinary or had special equipment. When they saw Wu Xianxiao was still planning to dismantle the machine, they were all very anxious. They rushed towards Wu Xianxiao, and one of them shouted as he rushed, "Put your hands up, put your hands up now!"

When Wu Xianxiao saw these people rushing towards him, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to explain something to them, he didn't expect that they took out weapons similar to pistols from their arms and started shooting at him from twenty meters away.

These weapons fired light beams, which hit him in a flash, piercing through his maintenance uniform. There was no sound after they hit his skin, but this made Wu Xianxiao squint his eyes.

These people were all surprised. When they were about to continue shooting, there was a sudden flash in front of their eyes. Wu Xianxiao appeared directly in front of them. It was as if he had teleported. There was not even an afterimage on their retinas. Then the next moment they flew backwards and hit the checkpoint of the security entrance. With a bang, these people smashed the entire security entrance archway and building like a cannonball, and they tumbled a hundred meters away.

However, apart from the palm prints on their faces, they were only in pain but not injured, and they did not turn into meat paste. They just felt dizzy and their bodies were sore for a while, and they fell to the ground and couldn't even get up.

After the attack, Wu Xianxiao did not continue to chase, but just stood there and silently watched the people who continued to run out of the ruins of the safe entrance.

"Put your hands up!"

At this time, another 20 or 30 people ran out, all of them with nervous faces, pointing their weapons at Wu Xianxiao, but they did not shoot. Wu Xianxiao naturally did not make any other moves, did not raise his hands, but did not attack either. He just stood there silently.

These twenty or thirty people did not dare to shoot or get close, they just kept shouting at Wu Xianxiao to raise his hands from a distance. At the same time, in addition to these people who were obviously security personnel or police officers, people also ran over from the town, but most of them did not dare to get close, and those who dared to approach were very fast, either with light on their bodies, or with some special weapons or magic tools.

These people were obviously people with extraordinary powers. After they arrived, they looked at the scene in surprise. No one spoke, and no one attacked.

After seeing that there were enough people, Wu Xianxiao said loudly: "Come here and speak with authority. Don't worry, I will stand here and will not run away or attack."

The twenty or thirty policemen looked at each other. No one dared to speak for a moment. But a few seconds later, a middle-aged woman in uniform came running up from behind, panting. As soon as she ran up, she screamed, "You destroyed public property, damaged the security entrance building, and hurt public officials and security team members! Put your hands up immediately and get on the ground!"

Wu Xianxiao remained silent. The middle-aged woman actually looked at the dozens of extraordinary people next to her and said, "According to the public security regulations, I will issue a foreign enemy invasion mission in the name of the police inspector. Each participant can get five to ten points!"

The dozens of extraordinary people looked at each other, then laughed happily, and then walked towards Wu Xianxiao together. Someone even shouted, "Brother, raise your hands and lie on the ground, otherwise we will have to take action?"

Wu Xianxiao smiled cheerfully. He sensed something interesting from the emotions exuded by this middle-aged woman. Was it the People's Revolutionary League or the company?

The next second, his eyes widened.

An invisible wave spread forward with him as the starting point.

The clouds in the sky broke apart.
