Chapter 026 Mutation!
"Don't do anything stupid," the base commander whispered a warning when he saw the Minister of Armed Forces looking around.
"The situation hasn't reached that point yet, but if you kill Meng Shisan now, the situation will completely spiral out of control."
He did regret it, but he was calmer than the Minister of Armed Forces and others.
"Make arrangements and prepare for a breakout. Holding the bunker may be our last resort."
After saying that, the base commander looked at Meng Shisan again and said earnestly, "You must feel like you've done something great right now, right?"
Indeed, if I were like them, I would agree, after all, your words are so resounding.
It's like a cry against the injustice of fate, or an awakening from a state of confusion.
Like a spark, it ignited the passion that was about to go out in everyone's hearts.
But I am not one of them. I am the base commander, and I am responsible for the 191,415 people in the base!
I admit that we have been pursuing an elite path all these years, but I still want to say that this path is correct!
You have absolutely no idea what the truth of this world is.
What exactly are we facing?
Your courage depends entirely on your ignorance!
Ignorance makes you fearless!
Just wait, one day you'll pay for your ignorance.
Even if you reach my position when that day comes, you might not necessarily do better than me.
Young people are still too young.
You don't even know who your opponent is...
After saying this, the base commander shook his head and sighed, then turned around and gave the Minister of Armed Forces a wink.
Upon seeing this, the Minister of Armed Forces immediately understood and picked up the communicator, saying, "Everyone, cover! Retreat to the bunker! Kill anyone who tries to stop us!"
Just now, the Minister of Armed Forces had made contact with his men, and now a group of fully armed men were gathering around them from all directions.
Not far away, Yang Jiu, his head bleeding profusely, yelled, "Damn it, stop listening to their nonsense, kill them!"
"Yes, kill them!" countless people shouted.
Since the base commander has already admitted it, there's no point in saying anything more.
The crowd's anger had been ignited.
Meng Shisan didn't stop it. He knew that this would kill many people, so let them die.
It's impossible to expect someone who has been timid for decades to straighten up with just a few words.
Once their emotions calm down, they instantly revert to a submissive state.
A broken spine can only straighten itself if it is up to them.
In an instant, the sounds of fighting filled the entire square.
Countless people, driven by their emotions, began to frantically attack the base commander and his group.
The pioneers, led by Yang Jiu, were the first to be affected.
They had been suppressing their emotions for too long, and upon learning all this, they all went completely mad.
Following closely behind were the people from the Department of Energy.
I don't know how that guy managed to fool this group of people; they all seemed to be on steroids.
Da da da……
Just as they were about to break through the defenses of the Minister of Armed Forces and others, the piercing gunfire instantly calmed the excited crowd down.
Those guys from the armed forces department made their move.
Without any hesitation or warning, they opened fire immediately.
In an instant, countless people fell into pools of blood.
"Should we go?" Lu Ping, who had met up with Meng Shisan in the chaos, was now clenching his fists so tightly they were cracking, looking eager to try.
"No need." Meng Shisan shook his head. "Some things, including death, they have to face themselves."
His tone was calm and ruthless.
"Actually, we could have assassinated the base chief and his group. Once those high-ranking officials are dead, the rest of the group will be leaderless and won't pose a threat to us," Yan Zhiyu said after a moment's hesitation.
Meng Shisan shook his head again: "Who said we were going to assassinate the base's high-ranking officials?"
From beginning to end, Meng Shisan never intended to kill the base commander and his men at this critical juncture.
"You're going to let them go?" Yan Zhiyu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Meng Shisan laughed and said, "It's not a question of whether to let them go or not, but that the current base leaders are more valuable alive than dead."
"Indeed." Upon hearing this, Xie Linyuan immediately understood Meng Shisan's plan and explained, "If they all die, everyone's anger will turn against us."
Without dwelling on the matter, Meng Shisan asked, "How is Xie Linbo doing?"
"It should be done by now." Xie Linyuan looked up and glanced towards the entrance of a bunker. "You can trust that guy to handle things."
Meng Shisan nodded and didn't say anything more. He then looked at the base commander and his group. Ever since the armed forces forced everyone to calm down with absolute force, a large vacuum area had appeared around them.
Even as they walked toward the bunker, those blocking the entrance would instinctively make way for them.
Absolute force, equality for all.
"Meng Shisan, they're getting away!" Yang Jiu shouted desperately at Meng Shisan.
Just as Meng Shisan was about to give a perfunctory reply, a group of fully armed men suddenly rushed out of the bunker entrance that the base leader and his team were heading to.
The one leading the group was the propaganda minister, who had been there before. He looked at the base commander and the others, shook his head, and said, "The base has fallen to this state. Everyone must be very disappointed. Base commander, let's get going and give everyone an explanation."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of people behind him raised their guns and opened fire.
"Damn it, Li Maoran, have you forgotten who promoted you step by step to this position?" The Minister of Armed Forces reacted the fastest, immediately pulling the base commander behind him and then quickly organizing a counterattack.
In an instant, their area was engulfed in a hail of bullets.
Many people collapsed in pools of blood before they could even react.
The commotion on their side caused chaos at the other entrances as well.
Countless people began recklessly rushing towards the entrance, trying to escape the conflict.
They didn't care about freedom, hope, or dawn; all they cared about was whether they could survive the next moment.
Li Maoran remained indifferent to the commotion at the other entrances. He waved his hand, and his men immediately stopped. He then said, "What's the point of talking about this now?"
This was his order; I was just following orders.
"A mistake is a mistake. Do it yourselves. This is the last bit of dignity I can leave you with."
"I always knew you were in contact with that person, but I never imagined it would be this close."
"Li Maoran, do you really know that person?" The base commander said, shaking his head helplessly. "Back then, we were full of vigor and ambition. We worked tirelessly for the same goal."
Who could have imagined that the two sides would one day clash on the battlefield?
No matter how much Meng Shisan said before, even if he exposed their secrets that they had kept hidden for many years, he had never acted like this. But at this moment, when Li Maoran stood in front of them, this person who had been in charge of the base for more than ten years seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
Upon hearing this, Li Maoran also sighed: "Choosing to follow you back then was the best decision I ever made in my life, and even today, I still feel that way."
But over the years, you've changed. You've become impatient and cold-blooded, and you've become someone I don't even recognize.
Liu Jiaming, do you still remember what you said back then?
You said you would lead everyone to fight against the injustice of this world!
At that time, I believed you could do it because you had faith, goals, and courage!
But as you rose through the ranks to become the base commander, what did you do?
Don't think I don't know what the real purpose of the so-called gene modification project is.
You're crazy...
"Commit suicide. As long as you commit suicide, the base will still erect a monument for you, and future generations will still regard you as the creator of a new era."
"You know me, surrendering has never been in my nature." After saying that, the base commander suddenly looked at Meng Shisan and smiled, "I know what you're thinking. Let's cooperate. Send us back to the bunker, and I guarantee that no one will ever step out of the bunker without your permission."
Meng Shisan laughed and was about to speak when Li Maoran said to Yang Jiu, "Do you know what will happen to your children?"
I can tell you that your eldest child was a chubby boy who had a heart transplant shortly after birth, probably around three months old.
By the way, he donated his heart to the son of the Minister of Armed Forces.
Unfortunately, the child did not make it off the operating table, but all of his organs were removed.
Oh, the person who personally performed this surgery was Wu Changping, the director of the medical center.
As for the other children, two died, for reasons similar to his, and the rest are being cared for as blood transfusions at the medical center.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jiu's expression changed repeatedly. If Cao Er hadn't been holding him back, he would have immediately tried to fight back.
"And Cao Er, do you think you're any better than him?" Li Maoran laughed. "Your child is even worse off!"
There's nothing they can do; what can they do when they have such a powerful father?
"Shut up!" Cao Er shouted angrily. He wasn't that impulsive, but he looked at the director of the medical center with cold eyes.
"Well done." Meng Shisan couldn't help but applaud. "I never expected that you were the one who had been hiding the truth the most."
Li Maoran smiled, looked at Meng Shisan, and said with a smile, "Since they don't want to be dignified, how about we help them be dignified?"
