I’m the Demon King in Marvel
Chapter 622 A single spark ignites a prairie fire
Chapter 622: Sparks Spread Across the Prairie (Part )
The second young master of the Tang family reacted very quickly. He thought of a “good idea” to divert attention. The local noble Kang family in Huacheng agreed with his idea and put it into action.
“Dear citizens, here is an urgent news report. The war in the American camp continues to expand, and an interstellar fleet is about to appear in the solar system…”
Watching the news that suddenly appeared on TV, the citizens of Huacheng felt a sense of absurdity.
“What’s going on? Can’t we just beat them back? Why do we have to go into the air-raid shelter?”
“How can it be that simple? This is called insurance!”
“There is a problem. It came too suddenly. Could it be that someone wants to block the news of the genetic medicine?”
“You’re overthinking. What do they want? If the potion really exists, they’ll definitely sell it for money! It’ll just be at a higher price.”
“Exactly. Is it necessary to cover it up? And it caused such a big commotion.”
“But what if they just don’t want us to enjoy immortality?”
“…”
“Who is ‘other person’? There is no such a bad person in the world!”
“Yes, you have to hurt others and not benefit yourself. You can’t make any money yourself, and you don’t let us get any benefits.”
“What if they want more than just money?”
……
Although some sober people realized the problem, most people were blindly following others, and the news that Zhang Bin tried hard to spread was brutally suppressed.
“Did you see that?” The lackey of the Kang family stood in front of Zhang Bin and said smugly: “Your so-called efforts are worthless!”
To kill someone is to kill one’s heart.
There was a flash of confusion in Zhang Bin’s eyes, but he immediately became determined.
“It is precisely because you are afraid that you will deceive. You will deceive everyone. It is not because you are stupid, but because everyone is willing to believe. When no one believes anymore, the power to change the world will naturally erupt!”
“Wow, we are so scared!” The lackeys of the Kang family laughed strangely, which was exactly the result of the villain’s success.
“You will be scared.” Zhang Bin said solemnly.
……
Looking at the breaking news on TV, Song Yang understood that it was because his old comrade chose to believe the news he conveyed and put it into action that caused such a fierce reaction from the noble family.
After a moment of silence, Song Yang saluted solemnly towards the west.
His comrades are fighting hard, and he cannot fall behind.
This time, Song Yang directly drove the escape capsule on the communication spacecraft and appeared in the sky above the metropolis on the coast of the East China Sea.
The escape capsule of the communications ship has an independent engine, which can be used at sea and in the air. It has enough energy to circle the earth twice, ensuring that the crew can return to base on their own no matter where on the planet they make an emergency landing.
The escape pod has a built-in positioning function, but the driver can choose to turn it off or on. It even has the function of shielding radar search. This is to take into account the possibility of forced landing in enemy area and the enemy will find the location by following the signal.
Not only can it fly and dive, but there is naturally a flag printed on its shell.
Above the downtown area, an escape pod floated above the densely packed high-rise buildings.
Although the urbanization process on Earth came to an abrupt halt with the advent of the interstellar age, this city located on the coast of the East China Sea has such a good location advantage that it has grown into an international and even interstellar metropolis over the past eighty years.
The sudden appearance of the escape pod initially caused only some surprise among the workers in the nearby high-rise buildings, until the voice of the loudspeaker rang out.
“Twenty days ago, a major incident occurred in City No. 1 on Yuanchu Star. A biological laboratory under the Lin Group named ‘Spark’ successfully developed a genetically modified drug that can cure a variety of diseases and improve various functions of the human body, thus achieving the effect of prolonging life…”
“Around this potion, almost all the noble families sent people to Yuanchu Star and started a fierce battle.”
The escape capsule directly released a three-dimensional projection, showing the scenes of Tang Xinrong besieging the laboratory, the Tang family guards chasing Wang Jin and Xu Gaohua, and also the scenes of the noble families coming together to besiege the spacecraft launch center.
As the saying goes, “pictures reveal the truth.” The sudden appearance of an escape pod over a downtown area was already eye-catching, and the release of such explosive news immediately sparked discussions among people in the surrounding buildings.
“Holy shit, is it true?”
“We’ve already got the escape pod, it can’t be fake, right?”
“The picture is indeed the number one city on Yuanchu Star. I have been there several times.”
“This street… yes, this one. I went there last month and the advertisements outside the stores haven’t changed.”
“No way, are you serious?”
“Extending your life? Is that so cool?”
……
“However, the noble family does not want to make this potion public. They intend to monopolize it so that their power and wealth can last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.”
The sound from the loudspeaker was suddenly interrupted as a large truck loaded with chemicals suddenly deviated from its flight path over the city and crashed into the escape pod below.
With a loud bang, the shock wave from the explosion blew away the glass on the exterior walls of nearby high-rise buildings, and screams continued from inside the high-rise buildings. “Oh my God, there’s a car accident!”
“No, the news is probably true. Someone wants to kill people to silence them!”
“Hurry up and make a call and spread the news.”
“Spread the bullshit, run for your life first!”
“Why is there no signal?”
“Help!”
“It’s over. The surrounding signals must have been blocked.”
“What’s going on? What does this have to do with us? If you want to kill someone, go kill that soldier!”
“Fuck, why did that psychopath come to our place? Stay away from us! Why did he get us into trouble?”
“Help, I don’t want to die…”
Song Yang arrived on Earth ten hours later than Liu Xing, but he took action as soon as he landed, looking for reliable comrades and classmates to spread the news. Liu Xing, on the other hand, spent two days traveling to more than a dozen mineral water production plants in the Sanjiangyuan area.
When Lin Yi and Lin Shan discovered Liu Xing’s whereabouts, there were signs of information leakage in Yangcheng, Huacheng and other places. When the master of the Liu family rushed over and clamored to bring Liu Xing’s wife and children from Yuanchu Star to Earth, he soon received the information shared by Tang Xinrong.
“What do you do for a living? You can’t even do such a small thing? Are all of you in the Tang family useless?”
“You don’t need to worry about the future of the Tang family. I’m just informing you according to the agreement.” Tang Xinrong simply ignored the old man’s shouting.
The second young master of the Tang family was busy responding to the news that was spreading in many cities, but the old master of the Liu family suddenly reacted and turned around to ask the lackey around him.
“Where are the two old guys from the Lin family?”
“Aren’t they…” The leader of the guards looked around blankly, staring, “Where are the people?”
Master Liu sneered immediately: “These two old guys are restless too!”
The Lin Group’s industries are spread across all major planets, with the Earth being the top priority. Cities like Yangcheng and Huacheng are both famous big cities in China, and naturally they also have Lin’s industries there.
Right now, rumors are flying around in many cities, naming Lin’s “Spark” laboratory. It is likely that Lin Yi and Lin Shan have already received the news.
Although Master Liu was angry, he did not lose his mind. It was just that his lackeys were disobedient. He was very experienced in handling such small matters.
He took out his personal terminal and called Lin Yi directly.
The other party did not answer the call immediately as usual, but Mr. Liu still had a sneer on his face and counted silently in his heart. When he counted to five, the call was connected.
“Old Lin, you’d better go have breakfast.” Mr. Liu did not hide the threat in his voice.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Yi and Lin Shan had already taken a flying car to Beijing. They had indeed just received information from Huacheng that their own laboratory had developed a genetic drug. While they were extremely surprised, they naturally realized their own danger and left quickly.
The noble families have already begun to act recklessly. Will they let them, the nominal property owners, go?
Looking at the fake-faced Mr. Liu in front of him, Lin Yi suppressed his anger and said, “It seems that my family’s property has fallen into your hands.”
“Not only the laboratory, your son is in our hands too.” Mr. Liu was fearless and looked like he had Lin Yi in his hands.
“Brother…” Lin Shan pulled her brother’s arm, her old face full of anxiety.
Lin Yi had a son in his old age. Although he did not spoil his child and even always maintained the image of a “strict father”, it does not mean that he does not love his son.
Seeing Lin Yi’s silence, Master Liu knew that he couldn’t force him to do anything desperate, so he quickly slowed down his tone and said, “Since you already know, I will give you three potions. There will be three potions every ten years from now on.”
“How about it, is it interesting enough?”
Lin Yi was so angry at the other party’s shameless robber face that he gritted his teeth and said, “This is my family’s property!”
“Don’t be so shameless, old man.” Mr. Liu changed his face in an instant and threatened nakedly: “If you still want to see your son, you have to obey me. Otherwise, not to mention your son, there is no need for your Lin family to exist.”
Angry Lin Yi hung up the phone directly.
Mr. Liu was at a production plant of “Sanjiangyuan” brand mineral water in Yushu area. As soon as he arrived here to arrange the operation to capture Liu Xing, he learned that rumors were spreading in many cities. He was in a bad mood, and the two old guys of the Lin family suddenly defected.
“Damn it, you have no shame!” An irritated Mr. Liu pointed at Liu Xing in the surveillance video and asked his lackey beside him: “Can we catch this guy?”
The leader of the guards showed a trace of embarrassment: “Master, there are more than ten counties in the Sanjiangyuan area, and our manpower…”
“Why not bring this man’s wife and children to Earth first, and then broadcast images of his wife and children on the screens at the gates of every factory to force him to show up.”
Right now, the noble families are busy dealing with rumors in many cities, and the Liu family cannot send all their manpower to the vicinity of Sanjiangyuan to conduct a dragnet investigation.
The most important thing is that he has no idea what kind of back-up plans these mineral water production plants have, so he can’t make up his mind.
“Prepare for both situations. On the one hand, bring people here, and on the other hand, get ready to destroy these factories.” Mr. Liu has been around for decades and has a methodical way of doing things.
“Set fire?” The guard leader was unsure.
“Just use whichever is faster. Do you need me to teach you such a small thing?” Mr. Liu glared at him unhappily.
