Chapter 564 The Beautiful Scenery of the Federation (the Incident of a Patient with Perissodactyly Attacking the Second Reserve Bank!)
Xia Xiu stood on the broad steps of the New York Federal Savings Bank, his golden eyes sharply observing the protesters gathered in front of him.
Although these protesters were united in the same purpose, he soon noticed the different groups within them. The members of each group showed different degrees and types of horse-like deformed features, making them particularly distinctive.
The first group was mainly composed of members with lower deformity rates. Most of the deformed features were not very obvious, limited to slight horse ears or small pony tails. They looked a bit drifting, and they could clearly feel the rejection of other groups from them. The members of the second group had a medium degree of deformity, and their features were more obvious, including longer pony tails and more developed lower limb muscles. This group of people appeared to be more active in the protest, and their banners emphasized the special abilities and social potential of "pseudo-people".
The third group is composed of members with higher rates of deformation. Their lower bodies are almost completely horse-like, including horse hooves and long horse legs, which restricts their movement. At this moment, they are pushing and shoving with the security personnel of the Federal Savings Bank; the members of the last group are severely deformed, and the horse-like features in their appearance are extremely serious. They have four horse hooves on their lower bodies, are covered with hair, and even their hands have hoof-like features. Like the third group, they are clashing with the public officials of the Federal Savings Bank.
"Cancel the Triple Crown!!!"
"Cancel the Triple Crown!!!"
"Cancel the Triple Crown!!!"
Dongdongdong--
On the wide front steps of the New York Federal Savings Bank, the situation is escalating rapidly.
Members of the third and fourth groups, whose deformations are closer to complete horse forms, are now trying to attack the door of the bank with more violent means.
Some members of these groups, due to the physical limitations and pain caused by their deformations, have obvious desperation and violent emotions in their actions.
"Reject financial objectification of infected people!"
"You damn financial capital, you use your evil finance to systematically exploit marginalized groups. You package the suffering of infected people into a normal and equal sports activity, but in fact you just use the biological characteristics of infected people, entertain them, and treat them differently. You have always discriminated against us!!!"
Bang, bang, bang---the passionate collision sound echoed in the square in front of the New York Federal Savings Bank.
Some protesters, especially those members of the third and fourth groups with more serious distortions, are using their distorted hoof parts to violently hit the Federal Reserve Police's protective line. Every collision carries their anger and despair, and the sound bursts into chaotic drumbeats in the cold air.
"You cold-blooded guys!" A protester with a high distortion rate shouted loudly during the collision, "You are just the running dogs of the powerful people in the New Alliance!"
As the emotions rose, the protesters' words became more intense:
"What we want is dignity and equality, not to be treated like this by you!"
Another voice joined the chorus of protest, full of dissatisfaction with the status quo and desire for change.
Faced with this fierce impact, the Federal Reserve Police quickly deployed. They wore full body riot gear, held riot shields and other riot control equipment, and formed a solid defense line in front of the bank.
The reserve police had a stern expression and alert eyes. While maintaining order, they also had to deal with the emotions and potential violence of the protesters.
A police captain warned the crowd through a loudspeaker:
"This is the Federal Savings Bank, a federally protected landmark. We understand and respect your right to peaceful demonstrations, but any violent acts will be sanctioned by the laws of the New Alliance. Please stop the impact immediately and keep peaceful, otherwise we will take necessary measures to protect public safety and property."
His voice echoed between the marble facades of the bank, trying to calm the emotional protesters.
The Federal Police were on high alert, ready to respond to possible escalation of conflicts at any time. Their riot shields were locked together tightly, forming a human wall, while other police officers holding tear gas and non-lethal weapons supported them from behind, just in case.
"One last warning, evacuate here quickly, don't force us to escalate the emergency level, use magic and non-violent non-cooperation to maintain stability!"
The voice of the police captain has unconsciously become cold. He has already made enough concessions to these [pseudo-human] groups. If it weren't for the new alliance regulations and the nearby financial surveillance, he would have drawn his gun and shot in the tradition of the previous federal police.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The protesters responded with actions and gave the answer, and in a decisive and fierce way.
The patient with a high deformity rate in the lead, his lower body fully showed strong horse characteristics, and his four hooves were hard and powerful.
He charged through the crowd and directly attacked the defense line of the Federal Reserve Police.
Bang——
The horseshoe of this patient was as hard as steel. When his hoof landed on the blast shield in the hands of the front row of police, the strong impact caused obvious cracks on the blast shield.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He kept stomping, like a horse trampling on the grass, each time deepening the cracks on the blast shield and making a dull sound.
The horseshoe hit the blast shield with a deafening clang.
At the impact point, a series of spider-web-like cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the blast shield, and the cracks spread rapidly, and the entire shield surface seemed to be in pieces at any time.
Crack--
The conflict finally reached a boiling point.
Under the continuous impact and pressure, the blast shield line was broken, and part of the protesters poured into the defense line like a flood.
"Go in!!!"
In the face of extreme pressure and challenges, officials and police of the Federal Reserve Bank decided to take more drastic measures to control the situation.
The police in the front row were trampled by the strong breakthrough of the protesters, and some police officers fell to the ground and were injured. The situation seemed chaotic for a time.
"Start non-violent non-cooperation to maintain stability!"
The police in the back row responded quickly and began to release tear gas. The air quickly filled with an irritating smell, and large smog spread among the crowd, causing protesters to be blocked. Many people began to choke and cough, and tears and snot flowed down.
A pungent smell quickly filled the air, and the smoke quickly spread among the crowd, as if a thick fog belt enveloped the entire scene.
Puff~
When the tear gas spread, the heavy smell instantly filled the air, and the stinging irritation could not be ignored.
The protesters' eyes immediately began to burn, and an irritating liquid spread painfully in their eyes, as if the flames were burning in their eye sockets.
"My eyes..."
Their eyes began to tear unconsciously, and the tears stung the skin around their eyes like scalding flames, and they could not stop.
"Cough cough cough~"
At the same time, the tear gas also stimulated the protesters' respiratory system, and their throats instantly felt burning and unbearable, as if countless torches were burning in their throats. Their coughs came one after another, and each cough brought a sharp pain, as if the lungs were engulfed by flames.
As time went on, breathing became more and more difficult, and their chests seemed to be tightly pinched by an invisible hand, making them unable to breathe.
At this moment, the protesters were forced to stop moving forward.
"Raise your guns and fire in volley!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the same time, the reserve police who pulled down their protective masks began to use non-lethal weapons, firing rubber bullets and stun grenades in turn, with a constant bang.
These bullets drew arcs in the air and accurately hit some protesters, causing them to fall to the ground in pain.
The attacks of rubber bullets and stun grenades were more direct and painful.
Rubber bullets were like a fierce whip, and each blow was accompanied by severe pain, as if thousands of hot iron needles pierced the skin.
The protesters' bodies were red and swollen, and the bloody wounds left horrible marks on the skin. The bright red blood flowed along the wounds, intertwined with the pain of tear gas and difficulty breathing.
Buzz! ! ! !
The explosion of stun grenades brought another irresistible pain.
A loud bang tore the air, making people's eardrums seem to be shattered.
The protesters' ears were buzzing, and waves of severe dizziness came, as if the whole world was shaking violently.
Their brains were instantly shocked into a blank, their thoughts were confused, and they couldn't concentrate, as if they were hit hard by a huge hammer.
Under the attack of tear gas, rubber bullets and stun grenades, the protesters' eyes, throats, skin and ears were filled with severe pain and despair, as if the whole world was against them, making them unable to breathe, think, and endure.
This double torture of body and mind made their protests more desperate, more angry, but also more powerless.
With the arrival of more reinforcements, the well-trained Federal Reserve police gradually advanced, and they lined up neatly holding riot shields and marched forward.
The reinforcements wearing sturdy protective equipment moved forward expressionlessly, as if they were cold and ruthless robots. Their eyes were cold and firm, as if they had no emotions for the protesters.
In the process of suppressing the wave of protests, the police showed a high degree of organization and discipline. They cooperated tacitly and performed their tasks in an orderly manner.
"Keep charging!!!"
The leader who had led the charge and crushed the shield before used his horse's body to charge and rampage around, his actions full of anger and determination.
Trample, tread, tread--
The skin of the odd-toed hooves patient following the charge was flooded with magical light, and then the horse's hooves suddenly stepped on the ground, the ground trembled, and the dust flew, as if they were going to step on the ground to make cracks.
Some protesters began to perform magic, and most of the protesters' magic was aimed at strengthening endurance and defense.
They attached rock shields to their hooves and bodies, which greatly increased their resistance, allowing them to withstand more damage and pressure, allowing them to continue fighting for a longer time.
In front, some extreme protesters began to take more radical actions.
They took out the [Magic Stone] and crushed it on the spot, stimulating strange energy.
BOOM!
The terrifying EVE particles burst out instantly, forming a small energy cyclone.
This cyclone contained huge energy, spinning violently, and engulfing everything around it. The protesters released the cyclone and directed it towards the suppressors.
Under the sweep of the energy cyclone, the suppressors were severely injured. They were knocked to the ground by the impact of energy, and their defensive equipment could not withstand this sudden attack.
Both sides on the scene have begun to lose control. The originally calm streets have instantly turned into a chaotic battlefield. The collision and impact of various energies are intertwined in the air, presenting an extremely chaotic scene.
"The enemy took the lead in using magic means and continued to escalate the situation. Everyone, change to lethal ammunition, open the [Reserve Bank Financial Card] and prepare to release magic strikes!"
Facing the [pseudo-human] group that is getting more and more aggressive, the police captain Kosik Bayev felt a surge of anger in his heart.
His brows were furrowed, his hands clenched the baton in his hands, and his eyes were full of fierceness.
Kosik Bayev stood in front of the bank, staring at the fierce impact of the protesters in front of him, and an irrepressible anger and disgust surged in his heart.
He felt that his patience had reached its limit, and the dissatisfaction and anger of these so-called [pseudo-human] group members made him feel intolerable.
"These damn pseudo-humans!" He roared in his heart.
As a policeman, he has always acted in accordance with the principle of maintaining law and order, but the scene before him made him feel that his authority was challenged, and the radical behavior of these group members made him feel humiliated and indignant.
When he gave the status upgrade order, all the reserve police officers directly replaced their guns with live ammunition, and summoned a [Centurion Financial Card] from their bodies to prepare for position release.
"They don't know what they are doing at all. The Federation is really too good to them, making them forget to be grateful."
Kosik looked at the four-hoofed perissodactyly patient who was leading the charge in front, and he also had an extra card in his hand, but it was not the [Financial Card] commonly used in the federal financial system, but a golden poker with a unique pattern. The poker face of this poker is - [Heart-J].
With the appearance of poker, the incarnation of financial evil began to emerge.
One of the fifty-four financial evil beasts of the Federation, [Heart-J], its appearance is a medieval knight in armor, the armor uses the design element of the red heart symbol, the overall color is red and silver, the surface is smooth like a mirror, and the edges are sharp.
The visor of Red J's helmet is decorated with a red heart pattern, and there are carvings on both sides similar to the corner flowers of playing cards; he is about 2 meters tall, with a strong body, holding a silver-handed red-silver knight sword, showing a strong sense of power and majesty.
When holding this card, the eyes of the police captain Kosik turned red involuntarily.
"Red Heart J, cut off the head of the rebel!"
As he gave the order, [Red Heart-J] raised his head suddenly, and the helmet decorated with a red heart pattern flashed red.
『Financial Skill-Red Heart·Heart Assault——』
In an instant, Red J appeared beside the rebel like lightning, holding the giant sword shining with red light, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
The tip of the sword almost touched the heart of the rebel, and the distance was only a few millimeters. The figure of Red Heart-J passed a blazing light in the air, and his goal was clear and firm.
The tip of Red J's sword was close to the chest of the rebel, and a fierce momentum swept over like a storm.
The red energy on the blade burst out, forming a strong sense of oppression, suffocating.
The rebel felt the shadow of death looming over him, his heart beating rapidly, and every beat seemed to be the last struggle.
He couldn't move, couldn't resist, and could only face the sudden attack of Red J's iron sword.
『Buzz——』
A low voice suddenly sounded, like a whisper from the depths of the void.
The originally colorful scene seemed to be covered with a layer of gray dust, and all the colors lost their brightness and vitality, becoming pale and monotonous.
The air around seemed to solidify, without a trace of flow, time seemed to stagnate, and everyone seemed to be frozen in place, with their movements and expressions stagnant.
"What an amazing farce."
The young man with blond hair and golden eyes walked in the world of time stop, sighing to himself.
