Chapter 458 I will bear the responsibility for the bloodshed
A woman standing near the police cordon covered her chest and fell backwards. The splash of blood frightened everyone around her. Some demonstrators turned around and ran away, some shouted for help, and some rushed to first aid, triggering
The scene was extremely chaotic.
"Oh my God! Robot police shot a woman!"
"She's dead!"
"Someone died! Someone was killed by the police!"
"They kill women!"
"These beasts!"
In just a few seconds, the already boiling protest scene turned into a riot scene like a bomb that was suddenly detonated.
The veterans who secretly carried self-defense guns began to use light weapons and shoot at the special police who were maintaining order at the scene. Children and women were running away desperately. People fell to the ground like dominoes. A stampede happened so unexpectedly.
happened.
"What's going on?! How could the robot police suddenly shoot without instructions?!" the commander who maintained order at the scene yelled in panic. Although he was wearing a special agent's full-body protective armor and did not show his face, his collapsed emotions could
Feel it in his loud roar.
"Hurry up and use the sonic anti-trampling controller! Hurry! Move the crowd control robot to various positions!" Another younger commander seemed to be more clever and quickly ordered to control the scene.
I saw miniature assistance drones flying in the sky to help the stampede crowd, holding anti-gravity devices and being rescued one by one from the densest areas. The round-bodied crowd control robot kept saying "Warning! Warning! Follow my guidance,
Stay away from trampled areas.”
On the grand staircase, the police began to rescue the injured, but an exchange of fire began over there. The robot police automatically began to organize a counterattack without receiving any orders, shooting at the attacking veterans, causing a tragic scene of death and injury in the dense crowd.
"Run! Quick!"
"Beast! He actually shot at the people!"
"We rush to the Gates of Mars! Rush!"
"Come on! Rush through the Gates of Mars! Rush into the Ministry of War!"
"Run! Run!"
In the chaos, I don’t know who shouted the slogan of attacking the "Mars Gate". The panicked and angry demonstrators began to flood into the "Mars Gate" like a tide. The crowd was completely lost.
Got control.
"Fuck! Are they dying?!" A special agent guarding the empty field in front of the gate was frightened by the crowd of protesters rushing toward him. "Hurry up and release the blocker!"
The voice of the unmanned surveillance drone's artificial intelligence came from high altitude, carrying a cold, inhuman pressure: "Warning - Attacking this area is unauthorized. Warning - Area B of the Ministry of War is a highly prohibited area.
, Retreat immediately! Retreat immediately! Violators will be treated as riots."
This pair of protesters had lost any deterrence. Instead, the cold rain made them furious like a storm. They used all the weapons they could find to defend themselves, and began to attack the special service troops. They threw improvised incendiary bottles one by one, swaying the anger of the crowd.
Kill any police officer who dares to stop the onslaught of people.
"Overthrow this government that is killing people!"
“Go to hell, the butcher of the people!”
"Kill! We want to take back the planet that belongs to us!"
The loud and noisy sounds of violence soared into the sky, drowning out the patter of rain, and tearing apart Gaia's hazy sky.
A young official ran to the emergency security department in Star City in panic and announced loudly to all the senior officials of the Department of Homeland Security present, "There was bloodshed and a stampede at the protest in front of the War Department. The crowd was attacking Mars."
Gate', they... they're going to take over Mount Zion!!"
Secretary of Homeland Security Lucas Sylva was ashen-faced. He was originally a civilian. After taking office, he was wary of fearing that he would suffer the same fate as his predecessor David Dewey. Unexpectedly, he died before voting in the presidential election.
Such a big mistake is like a thunderbolt.
"What's going on?!" Minister Silva shouted, "Are these bastards going to rebel?"
"They say this is a revolution and demand the resignation of the coalition government! They demand political reform in Gaia! No longer be fooled by politicians!..." The official who reported the news had a flushed face and was sweating, looking like something was seriously wrong.
"How many people have died now?" the minister asked.
"The Secret Service has suffered 35 casualties, and the demonstrators have suffered 500 casualties, and the number will continue to increase..."
For an instant, the air in the emergency department seemed to freeze.
"Suppression! What are you waiting for?!" A deep male voice broke the silence. The words of General Mi Hui, who was in charge of security at the General Staff Headquarters, made everyone tremble as if cold water was poured on their heads.
"Suppression? That's easy for you to say. If the current situation is turbulent and triggers greater public anger, the entire coalition government will fall!" Homeland Security Secretary Silva retorted.
"Then do you have any better ideas?" Mi Hui's expression was firm. He had been promoted to general and had the authority to mobilize troops in Mangxing City.
"How to deal with riots is our Department of Homeland Security's business, and your military does not need to intervene!" Silva's face became darker.
"If we don't intervene, are we going to let this mob occupy Mount Zion? There are millions of them. If the mob in Mangxing City is allowed to occupy important government and military locations, the coalition government will fall immediately!" Mi Hui said.
The voice was loud and loud, and all the senior officials present were at a loss as to what to do. They were used to mechanical execution, and when encountering such a difficult situation, they suddenly became confused.
"We will mobilize more special service forces to maintain order..."
"Suppress it with the ground forces of the fleet system! This is a riot! It must be suppressed completely!" Mi Hui's eyes showed a cruel light, which made the surrounding officials even more frightened. Everyone thought that Mi Hui was a conservative who fulfilled his duties.
General, but he showed his thunderous side today.
"Do you know how many people will die? There are many women and children among the protesters..." The cold sweat on Director Silva's face was reflecting like a mirror.
"A riot is like wildfire. The consequence of letting the mob occupy the War Department is that everything in Star City is on fire. Our government is already in turmoil. If we don't strike hard to maintain order, this will be the fall of dominoes!"
"
"I cannot bear such a crime. When I took office, I swore to protect the people of Gaia..." The Director of Homeland Security was caught in a dilemma. He seemed to be undecided. This decision was too heavy. "We must notify the Star Palace and convene an emergency meeting.
"
"We can't let the bureaucracy kick the ball now. The riots have already started, and every second counts. All government inaction is appeasement of the riots!" Mi Hui said decisively, "You professional politicians are always afraid of taking responsibility, so I will take the responsibility.
