With the departure of the white spaceship, some people lost hope, some people lost their scruples, some people began to move around, and some people had new ideas.

It was as if a hand had sprinkled a handful of catalysts of desire in the world, and suddenly there was agitation in the peaceful air of the past, and the power that had been accumulated for a long time in the dark tended to explode.

On the afternoon of the second day after the spaceship left, a civilian of a foreign race suddenly became enraged when he was being investigated by the National Defense Army on the street. He grabbed the soldier who was no more than his waist and smashed it to the ground. Immediately, it shattered like a watermelon hitting the wall, spraying red and white all over the ground.

Afterwards, the foreigner was also sieved in a round of salvo, but this incident seemed to turn on a certain switch. One after another, foreign attacks occurred frequently, and more than ten soldiers were killed in it, and three or forty people were arrested. to a serious injury.

Only at this time did people seem to realize that if they did not rely on the power of weapons, the aloof Celestials and Humans would be so vulnerable in front of other races.

In order to protect their own safety, the National Defense Army began to adopt a more high-pressure policy.Although most of the foreign races obeyed tremblingly and full of resentment under their suppression, it attracted a more violent backlash.One afternoon, more than a dozen good-looking and well-off Asians working in a dance hall banded together and hijacked several cars, and stormed into the central street with the largest traffic of the Tian-Human Race, causing countless casualties , and then ignited several barrels of oil carried in the car, accompanied by a huge explosion sound, there was a frenzied laughter that frightened human beings.

In the afternoon, again in a crowded subway station, two dirty servants got into the underground sewer. When they were discovered, they threw the two arm-thick glass bottles carefully in their arms. On the ground, white smoke gushed out and quickly spread to the surroundings. When people were screaming and avoiding, they saw the two servants closest to the smoke screaming and scratching their faces with blood dripping .

On this day, more than 2 people were stampeded, squeezed, and poisoned to death in the subway station. The specific number of casualties cannot be counted, because many people jumped off the platform in panic and were directly run over by the train that had no time to avoid it. It became a bloody mass.

Ten minutes later, all the subways in Yunan City were suspended, and the city was completely under martial law. All foreigners walking on the streets were severely questioned and searched by the National Defense Army and police officers. If there was any disagreement, they were roughly arrested and detained for review. , Many who made small mistakes or contradicted themselves were shot dead in the street, and even the Celestials were subject to unprecedented strict control.

On this day, a steady stream of corpses were sent to the incinerators on the outskirts of the city, and the billowing black smoke continued throughout the night.

For ordinary people, no matter whether they are of the Celestial Race or the alien race, it is the first time that their lives are so precarious. They huddle at home and close the door, and they still don't feel much sense of security. The children can still sleep peacefully, the older people can hardly close their eyes and rest in peace, and the men even keep guarding the door of their houses with kitchen knives or iron bars all night.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sun had not yet risen, many people saw flames bursting into the sky in the south of the city. People who were close could only hear the sound of guns bursting like beans, and howling and screams pierced the night sky. It's far, far away.

But the omniscient network seems to be dumb and blind at this time, and no news about it has spread.In the past, the keyboard warriors who liked to give advice and wished the whole world could hear their voices were now as quiet as chickens, pretending that they did not exist at all.

The sun rose as usual.

After dawn, some people had to leave the house because of work needs.On the huge screen several meters high in the square, a beautiful and gentle hostess with tears in her eyes condemned the aliens who caused the bloody massacre and the massacre at the first subway station, and condemned the ungrateful, insane, and inhumane cruelty of the aliens.Then, the family members of the deceased cried bitterly, the bewildered faces of the young children of the deceased appeared on the screen, and some people held candles and white flowers in their hands, spontaneously mourning the victims near the place where the incident occurred.

Then, as usual, there was news about the peacefulness and prosperity of other places, it seemed that the whole country was positive and getting better, and only a small number of villains wanted to destroy everything with evil thoughts, but they His actions are bound to be futile.

as usual.

The people who had absolutely nothing to do with these incidents—whether they were human beings or alien races—did not say a word of extraneous words after watching the news, just looked at each other, then silently bowed their heads and went their separate ways.

The insects did not sing, the birds did not sing, everything became so silent and submissive.

But amid such silence, a rumor spread quietly——Last night, Meng Juxing, the commander of the Third Legion of the National Defense Army, quietly entered the palace. Two hours later, a large number of alien races gathered in the south of the city. All four neighborhoods where the rebel base camp was located were completely flattened.Amidst the roar of artillery fire, there was not even a single complete brick left.

Meng Juxing of the Third Legion was the main executor of the Scarlet Tulip tragedy on the eve of the arrival of the spaceship. He was the most loyal and cold-blooded killer under the head of state Cajal.In terms of killing, Lin Qingsi is far from being able to compare with him.

People have no way of verifying the authenticity of the rumors, because the entire area is blocked.

But this proves that the rumors are not necessarily false.

And among these passers-by, how many foreigners heard the news as if they were mourning, but on the surface, their expressions were more submissive and humble.

In the following month, not only in the imperial capital, but also in the entire Tulip Country, the incidents of alien races attacking humans occurred everywhere. The number of humans and alien races who lost their lives for this has exceeded 10 people. People are dying every day, and no one feels is safe.Even the countries of Cattelan and Snowden are seeing more and more incidents of conflict.

People don't understand, why is life like this?

They only know that, as if they woke up overnight, they have fallen from a peaceful and happy life to a situation full of dangers.People are afraid to go out, dare not go to the supermarket, dare not send their children to school.Although they were forced to leave the house due to the pressure of life, most people on the street wrapped themselves tightly and came and went in a hurry.If there is a conflict in a certain place, people's reaction is no longer to gather around to watch the fun, but to run as far as possible in the first place, only to regret that their parents gave birth to their own two legs.

The hardliners headed by Yang Siyu and the Third Army originally wanted to control all alien races. Under the oppression of the crisis, many humans made the same wish, so the parliament and the head of state passed this resolution as quickly as possible.

But in less than six hours, they retracted this resolution at the fastest speed in history.

The reason is simple—although alien races have a humble status, they have already penetrated into every aspect of people's lives.Without them, people soon find that not only their own lives are threatened, but even normal life is impossible.

In almost all places, the most bitter, tiring, dirtiest, and least willing to do jobs are performed by alien races.Those jobs usually seem inconspicuous, but they are directly related to the basic life of everyone.

In the past, people from Zhong Wuxing would not have this kind of awareness.

People don't thank the cleaners, they just scold them when the garbage is not cleaned up; people don't thank the construction workers, only detest their dust and muddy nails; Rescue workers in dangerous places only take these things for granted.

——Because in Zhongwuxing, the people who do these jobs are all servants.Even if the noble Celestials are destitute, heavily in debt, even if they can't even afford food, they would rather be homeless or beggars and thieves than "decline themselves" to do these jobs.In their eyes, these people are not important. On the contrary, they are usually an eyesore when they see them. Some people even insult or beat these staff for no reason.

However, when aliens were imprisoned, controlled, expelled and even killed on a large scale, people suddenly found that life was full of inconveniences everywhere - the trash can outside was full, but no one took it out; the streets were full of garbage and sewage , and no one came to clean it up; the toilet at home was clogged, but there was no one to unclog it; the new house was ready to live in soon, but the decorator didn’t know where it went; the electricity in several nearby streets was all cut off , After most of the day, nothing was dealt with; a house suddenly caught fire, and many people gathered around and heard people calling for help and crying from inside, but they looked at each other, not daring or knowing how to save it.Needless to say, many factories shut down and cut production, and the upstream and downstream capital chains were broken, and countless money was lost every minute.

How people were supporting a hard-line resolution before, and are now opposing it even more vehemently.

In the face of overwhelming protests and huge economic losses, the parliament withdrew its previously issued resolution in a panicked gesture, forcing the police and the military to release those "innocent, hardworking and sincere" civilians of foreign races. The expansion of the policy will hurt the innocent; it should not affect normal production and life, and there must be rules and basis for doing things.

The six-hour farce seemed to have come to an end, but the impact was far more than that.

During the six hours, the economic loss of human beings is visible, although it is huge, it is not unbearable; although the society has experienced chaos for a period of time, it was resolved in a short period of time after the alien race was released on a large scale .

But in just six hours—according to incomplete statistics of later generations—the population of the alien race dropped by about one-fifth.

Behind that number, countless lives died.

Except for the period of war in the early days of human rise, this is the largest massacre of alien races in human history.
