The group immediately went to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.
On the glass wall of the building, a figure was running upwards, engulfed in flames, seemingly defying the planet's gravity, heading straight for the top floor.
"What the hell is that thing?!"
Lu Xuefei felt his soul about to leave his body. He couldn't understand why such a terrifying monster could still emerge, even under such authoritative suppression.
"Quick! Get on the helicopter!"
Lu Xuefei panicked. After all of Rong Country's high-end combat power had perished on the Calamity Battlefield, no one had been able to threaten his position for a long time.
When the tigers are away, the monkeys play king. Even pigs can fly when standing on the wind. Lu Xuefei successfully monopolized Gene Medicine and kept everyone's strength below Level 4. Even his personal security team consisted only of Level 4 Gene Warriors.
Facing an unbeatable, abnormal creature like Zhang Jie, no matter how much influence or hidden cards he had elsewhere, he was destined to die here today.
"Fly!"
The helicopter's roar sounded, and Lu Xuefei watched the rooftop getting farther and farther from the ground, but his heart remained heavy.
He didn't know what unexpected actions that monster might take next.
"Running? Can you really run away?!"
At the edge of the rooftop, Zhang Jie leaped, propelled by a surge of red flames from behind, carrying his body towards the helicopter. He slammed a powerful dunk onto the helicopter's landing gear.
"Get... down here!"
The helicopter, which had just taken off and not gained much altitude, instantly lost control from the impact. Its massive fuselage plummeted from the sky, emitting a screeching sound of metal friction.
Fortunately, the rooftop was spacious enough. Zhang Jie directly dragged Lu Xuefei out of the helicopter and immediately landed two solid punches, shattering Lu Xuefei's teeth.
He spoke in terror, his words muffled pleas. Zhang Jie didn't even need to listen to know it was either an offer of money or a threat to his entire family.
Zhang Jie didn't bother listening, giving him two slaps to shut him up.
"Lin Ran, do you remember her?"
Hearing the name, Lu Xuefei paused for a moment, then seemed to understand.
"She asked me to say hello to you! You bastard! Go to hell!"
Endless flames fiercely scorched Lu Xuefei's limbs and bones, instantly reducing him to ashes.
Lu Xuefei's guards and secretary trembled in fear, but fortunately, you ignored them.
Your body seemed to know the battle was over; the surging flames vanished, and you could no longer feel them.
But you didn't believe this power had disappeared. You guessed it might need a certain period to slowly accumulate, otherwise, it couldn't instantly unleash power near a Level 6 Gene Lock.
The actual power holder of Caesar Life was dead. You finally avenged your mother and Lin Ran's mother. Lin Ran's danger was also resolved, but was everything truly over?
When your figure appeared at the building's entrance, the dense crowd instantly fell silent. They all looked at you, seemingly waiting for you to say something.
"From now on, Caesar Life is forever a thing of the past!" You shouted loudly to the crowd, and cheers erupted. People were excited that you had eradicated the cancerous tumor of Caesar Life, seemingly celebrating the birth of a new era.
But you knew that if you destroyed Caesar Life today, thousands upon thousands of Caesar Lives would emerge tomorrow. As long as these companies entrenched in Rong Country were not eliminated, they would continue to cause trouble until the sword of Calamity descended from the sky and completely annihilated humanity.
You must change all of this, not just for yourself and Lin Ran, but also for the future of humanity.
The high steps at the building's entrance seemed to become a natural speaking platform. You looked at the people, and a strange feeling spontaneously arose within you.
You wanted to give a speech!
Life Trait - Failed Art Student - Activated!
You looked at the dense crowd and began the first speech of your life.
"You're celebrating too early!" Your words gradually silenced the cheering crowd.
"I destroyed Caesar Life today! But tomorrow, thousands upon thousands of Caesar Lives will emerge!"
"Do you know how much a bottle of Level 1 Gene Medicine sells for now?"
"Five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand Rong Coins! Many families can't earn that much even if they don't eat or drink for two or three years!"
"And what such a huge price buys is only an ordinary Level 1 Gene Warrior! And Level 1 Gene Warriors aren't even qualified to stand on the Calamity Battlefield!"
For some reason, your speech was incredibly inspiring. Your words seemed to possess a magical power, causing listeners to involuntarily become engrossed.
Someone started a live broadcast on site: "Shocking! The young man who single-handedly destroyed Caesar Life is giving a speech outside the Gene Building, instantly going viral!" Your words spread to every citizen of Rong Country.
"The sword of Calamity hangs over our heads at all times! And these corporate tumors, at such a critical moment of survival, are only thinking about money!"
"I came from Hai City. My mother was liquidated by Caesar Life. The person I care about was being hunted across the world just a moment ago. In the years they controlled the world, how many more tragic things have happened than this?"
You fearlessly denounced the actions of these companies, saying everything that everyone wanted to say but dared not. Some felt empathy, some silently shed tears listening to your words, and some were indignant and excited, wishing they could tear those companies apart right now.
Your speech's live stream was quickly shut down, but countless other live streams had already restarted. The momentum had spread like a spark that could ignite a prairie fire.
"Humanity has fought the Calamity for over two thousand seven hundred years! How can we fall here, fall because of these tumors!"
"We will overthrow the companies! We will re-establish order! We will hunt the Calamity! Until we slaughter them all!"
"We will reclaim our power, reclaim the lands infested by Calamity! Reclaim our planet!"
"I will lead you to fight against Heaven! Against man! Against companies! Against Calamity! We are all people with the blood of struggle!!! We will never perish!!!"
Resounding and stirring! Your incredibly infectious speech made everyone's blood boil. Thunderous applause erupted below the steps, as if celebrating, as if cheering, as if acknowledging your status as a leader.
The Double Helix Building burned furiously because of you, and all of Rong Country seethed because of you. The liquidation of the companies began immediately today! You made those powerful elites grit their teeth, wishing they could devour you alive, but they are destined to be crushed by the wheels of time. No one can stop the will of the people!
