Chapter 80 We Are Not Saints
"Jiang Hou, your eyes?"

While having breakfast in the morning, Qin Siyu noticed that the eyes of Jiang Hou opposite her were a little different. There was a hint of red in his originally brown-black eyes.

"It should be due to the mutation. I also discovered it when I woke up in the morning."

When he came back in the morning and was washing up in the bathroom, Jiang Hou also noticed the changes in his eyes.

In addition, as his physical body exceeded the limit of the third level and touched the fourth level barrier, Jiang Hou keenly felt that his body was slowly transforming and something was condensing on his spine.

This change is obviously different from the feeling when the giant beast form evolved and broke through the fourth level, and it is also different from the change when the magic weapon side stepped into the fourth level.

Just as Jiang Hou was pondering, the news broadcast in the living room suddenly attracted his and Qin Siyu's attention.

The news content was a live broadcast from the old city, where law enforcement officers were persuading residents of a residential building to evacuate, followed by reporters.

"No, it's too much trouble. We won't leave."

"That's right. Didn't you send troops into the city? Even if there are monsters, there are troops there, as well as that person called Heavenly Punishment. What are you afraid of?"

The law enforcement officer smiled bitterly: "Uncle, pollution doesn't mean it will be fine if there is military protection. That thing appears randomly, and no one can guarantee absolute safety when it explodes."

"If you are corroded by the polluted energy, we won't be able to save you even if we want to, and you will soon turn into a monster."

"You all saw the videos on TV and the Internet a few days ago. Ordinary people will quickly start to mutate if they are exposed to pollution."

"Too much trouble."

"That's right. We have to move all the stuff out and bring it back. It's not like we will lose money for the demolition."

No matter how the law enforcement officers persuaded them, the middle-aged and elderly people in the building refused to leave. Seeing this, the law enforcement officers, who had tried to persuade them several times, had no choice but to leave with the reporters.

Qin Siyu was a little confused: "Marquis Jiang, why don't those people leave?"

We are only away for two or three days, it's not like we won't be back. The authorities will provide special vehicles to pick us up during the evacuation, and tents will also be prepared in the resettlement area.

Jiang Hou shook his head: "You can't look at everyone with normal thinking. Many people who seem to behave normally are actually stupider than we think."

"Besides that, some of the people who stayed behind may not necessarily want to leave, but may have other purposes, such as actively polluting evolution."

"They don't want to live anymore!" Qin Siyu was shocked.

"Who knows? Maybe they think they can become extraordinary people just by touching the pollution. As for those who turned into monsters, they just had bad luck and deserved it."

"But the majority of people in this world are normal. Yesterday I heard that more than 300,000 people were evacuated from the old city, and only tens of thousands of people stayed for various reasons."

"I just don't know how many people will turn into monsters tonight." Jiang Hou's tone was very calm when he said this.

In his opinion, since these people chose to stay, they must be responsible for their choice.

Meow~ The kitten curled up on the sofa called lazily.

Qin Siyu subconsciously looked at the kitten on the sofa, and then was stunned, because the kitten, which was originally the size of a palm, had grown by almost one-third.

"Marquis Jiang, have you noticed that Feitong seems to have grown a lot?"

Jiang Hou smiled and said, "Maybe he has been eating well these days, so he is growing fast. Also, you forgot that this little guy is a little special. Don't worry about it."

"That's right." Qin Siyu nodded suddenly. Feitong is a mutant creature, so it seems normal for her to grow faster.

Time passed in this somewhat tense and exciting atmosphere.

Evening, half past six.

In front of the Jingong family's door, Jiang Hou, who was carrying a black box in his hand, warned: "It may be a bit chaotic outside tonight, don't run around, wait for me to come back and go home together."

"Yeah, I know." The girl holding the white kitten nodded seriously.

Shen Gong Fei Yue on the side also reminded: "Xiao Rou, you too, be careful. If you feel something is wrong, take Xiao Yu through the secret door."

The girl with headphones around her neck said obediently: "Yes, I know, sister."

Jiang Hou, who was standing by, could not help but pause when he heard this. What kind of people are this family? They either have extraordinary things that ordinary people can use or they have hidden doors in their house!

However, this was someone else's secret, and Jiang Hou had no intention of finding out. He waved to the two girls and turned to leave with Shen Gong Fei Yue. Two cars were already parked at the intersection to pick them up.

As a fourth-rank master, Jiang Hou is now considered a top figure in Yidu, but his status has been raised too quickly and other aspects have not yet "reacted". At this time, the sky was dark, and there were almost no people on the streets of Yidu. A solemn and tense atmosphere enveloped the whole city.

Soon, the police car took Jiang Hou to the building on the edge of the old city. When Jiang Hou took the elevator to the rooftop on the 70th floor, Jiang Ruochan had already arrived.

The girl was still wearing her black windbreaker, standing on the wall at the edge of the rooftop with her hands in her pockets. She stood straight, her black hair fluttering in the night breeze, making her look very handsome.

Zong Zheng Nanmo was leaning against the wall, wearing a black special operations uniform, but without a helmet or hood on his head. He looked at Jiang Hou who was approaching with some excitement.

"Marquis Jiang, you are here."

"Coming." Jiang Hou nodded and walked over.

At this time, Jiang Ruochan took out two items from her pocket and threw them lightly, which were caught by Jiang Hou.

"That one is a communication headset, and the other one is a mother-and-child fluorescent stone. The two realms are isolated in the passage, and communication is impossible. After entering, keep your back to the passage and don't walk too far."

"If you encounter a powerful monster that you cannot resist, exit the entrance immediately. Do not resist. Safety comes first."

"And if the monster that appears is cunning, and its aura is similar to yours at first, but it finds itself outmatched after the fight, it will crush the fluorite, and nearby Shen Gong Fei Yue or Yu Jing will rush in to rescue you immediately."

"I understand." Jiang Hou put the earphones on his ears and put the mother and child fluorite into his pocket.

"Stop, it's dangerous inside, don't go in."

At this time, the law enforcement officers shouted from downstairs, and Jiang Hou and the other two saw several hooded figures ignoring the warnings and rushing directly into the alleys of the old city and quickly disappeared.

When the two law enforcement officers guarding the intersection saw that they could not catch up, they stopped and retreated.

"What are these people doing in there? Don't they know it's very dangerous in there? And it seems that those law enforcement officers are just giving symbolic dissuasion." Zong Zheng Nanmo was a little confused.

"Your feeling is correct."

Jiang Ruochan explained, "Tonight's Yidu has been used as a pilot. Reporters have been deployed to many intersections, and the local news station will broadcast the upcoming battle in real time."

"In addition, many cameras have been installed on the streets of the old city in the past two days to record the various battle scenes tonight. When the time comes, we will edit them into a video and post it online."

"The content includes scenes of extraordinary people fighting monsters, those who stayed behind and those who broke in being contaminated and turned into monsters, and the military's fire suppression."

"Damn, there will be reporters broadcasting the battle tonight, so I can't wear the headgear anymore." Zong Zheng Nanmo suddenly became excited.

Jiang Ruochan continued, "The frequency of space passages has increased over the years. Not only in Yidu, but other cities will also have large ruin passages appearing one after another."

"Tonight's battle will show the public that the authorities have the confidence and the strength to protect them, so they won't panic when encountering martial law in the future."

"At the same time, those who actively touch the pollution and mutate into monsters will also be used as a warning."

"For those who refuse to repent, verbal warnings are often useless to them. Only cruel facts can wake them up."

"And those who don't listen to the advice will die. God's punishment will only protect those who abide by the rules, not everyone."

"Although we are extraordinary people, we are not saints. What we can do is already our limit." When Jiang Ruochan said this, her tone suddenly became very indifferent.

"And who knows, one day, the demon god that invades reality and stirs up a sea of blood may be our former guardians."

"Haha... everyone is here." Just when the atmosphere was getting a little heavy, Duan Xuan, wearing the Black Dragon combat uniform, walked out from the rooftop entrance.

He held a Gatling cannon in his hand, more than ten high-explosive grenades on his waist, and more than twenty ammunition belts and two high-explosive rocket launchers on his body.

He even had a large-caliber modified rifle cannon hanging on his chest, and was almost armed to the teeth.

Duan Xuan greeted them warmly, "Brother Zong Zheng, Captain Jiang, and Brother Jiang Hou, please take good care of us tonight."

Without waiting for the others to exchange greetings, everyone suddenly felt the world shake, and Jiang Ruochan suddenly looked up: "It's started."

"Has it started yet!"

Some extraordinary people who had lurked in the old city, as well as ordinary people who had come from all over the place in the past two days wanting to "evolve", all looked up at the sky.

There, wisps of purple light appeared like the aurora.
