The crowd was marching, the angry shouts, the burning flames, and the frenzied atmosphere.
The flag of Golan fluttered in the billowing black smoke.
"We demand the truth!"
"Against the tyranny of Golan!"
"Hand over all related members of Mimic!"
"Get off the stage! Get off the stage! "
A sea of people had gathered in front of the Golan National Building. Countless faces were filled with anger. Countless banners were raised in the air. Countless arms were waving in the air. Chaotic roars pierced through the clouds.
Rows of fully-armed guards stood in front of the building. Their faces were stern. They formed a cordon with anti-explosion shields, withstanding the shoving and crashing of the crowd. Dull thuds were heard frequently.
Broken glass, empty bullet shells, trampled cans, banners full of footprints, and debris were everywhere. The fire was burning, scattering ashes like snowflakes. The blackened scorch marks on the ground mixed with the solidified blood stains, emitting an unpleasant and pungent smell.
Due to the multiple attacks by Mimic, the Golan National Building had tightened their control. Many people believed them, but someone in the know exposed the truth. It turned out that Mimic's actions were actually ordered by the Golan National Building. When the tricks were exposed, the people of Golan started a fierce resistance. Many people felt like they were being tricked. They went to the streets to protest and demonstrate. The situation had been going on for many days already.
The public opinion was overwhelming. The Golan National Building could not hold on any longer. They could no longer control the situation. A group of people was demonstrating in front of the building, trying to break into the tower. No one in the management was willing to stand out.
In the crowd, Sean's thin body was swaying left and right. However, his hands were holding the flagpole tightly. He raised Golan's flag high and shouted with the crowd.
His hair, which he had not had the mood to wash for days, was matted, reflecting the oily light. Veins were popping out on his neck. His young, handsome face was twisted. He looked haggard, yet agitated.
"Sean … Sean!"
The shouts were deafening. He could barely hear what he was saying. It was only when the voice calling his name slowly approached him and repeated it seven or eight times that Sean vaguely heard someone calling him. He turned around and looked at the source of the voice.
A short and sturdy young man pushed his way through the crowd. His shoulders and waist were arched as he struggled to move forward. His fierce face was dripping with sweat. He was holding a small package in his arms, and behind him were several young men of the same age. They struggled to squeeze to Sean's side.
"Mago, why are you here? Didn't your family object to your participation in the protest? "
Xiao En's eyes widened as he looked at the stocky youth, a look of surprise on his face. Because he had been shouting for so long, his throat felt like it was being torn apart, and his voice was incomparably hoarse.
The people in front of him were his neighbors, childhood friends, and best friends that he usually hung out with. However, due to the strong opposition from their families, these best friends could not participate in the demonstration organized by the Gollan Civil Resistance.
Only their family members had passed away very early, and no one had stopped them. Therefore, they had spontaneously participated in the demonstration out of passion.
"Hey, we snuck out."
Mago chuckled and opened the package a little. Inside, there was a green military canteen with a little paint peeling off and a few bags of fast food. There were also some protective equipment such as wrist guards and elbow guards.
Without asking for Sean's opinion, Mago hung the strap of the package on Sean's body. Then, without any explanation, he snatched the Gollan flag that Sean was waving in his hand.
Sean subconsciously snatched it back, but he was unable to shake Mago's firm and strong hand. Unable to take back the flag, he could not help but be surprised.
"What are you doing?"
"What else can I do? Of course, I'm here to wave the flag and shout for you. I'm about to vomit from the stench of your sweat. Look at you now. How long have you not rested? Don't worry, we'll hold the fort here. We'll save a spot for you. Go eat something and rest first … Wow! Protest against tyranny! "
Mago's tone was matter-of-fact. He replaced Sean's position, held the flag high, and shouted excitedly with the crowd.
"It's too chaotic here. You don't have to come …" Sean said helplessly.
"What are you saying? You can come, but we can't? Who doesn't want to contribute to Gollan? If it weren't for our family watching over us, we would have followed you to march. " Mago pretended to be unhappy and said loudly, "It's precisely because it's too chaotic here that we have to look after you. How can we not know what kind of bad temper you have? You're so hot-blooded that you don't care about the consequences. With your small body, aren't you afraid of being crushed by others? If we don't come, what if you're in danger? "
Sean's lips quivered, and he said hesitantly, "But your family …"
"Alright, alright. Why do you have so much nonsense to say? Now you know how to worry? Why didn't you worry about yourself first? " Mago patted Sean's shoulder with one hand and said casually, "If you dare to come, why wouldn't we dare?"
Sean was moved. He sniffled and said, "You guys are making me want to cry …"
"Come on, we're all brothers. Don't say thank you to disgust me." Mago gave him a thumbs up and raised his eyebrows. "Don't worry. Who asked you to be our little brother? I'll protect you."
The other brothers laughed when they heard this. They reached out and rubbed Sean's head. Among all his friends, Sean's body was famous for being thin and weak. Therefore, Mago and the other brothers took care of him and treated him like a little brother.
Xiao En felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his eyes were warm.
His family had died early, and the closest ones were this group of brothers. They were all hot-blooded youths with the same ideals. At this time, when he felt the good intentions and care of his friends, he only felt that his tired body seemed to be injected with new vitality.
"… Okay, then I'll leave this to you guys. I'll go to the side to rest."
Sean pursed his dry lips and didn't continue to refuse the good intentions of his brothers. He nodded heavily.
"Go, go."
Mago waved his hand indifferently. He turned his head and excitedly shouted with the crowd.
Sean had a smile on his face. He tightened the thick bag on his body and was about to squeeze out of the crowd.
However, in the next moment, the shrill air defense alarm suddenly sounded from afar and quickly spread throughout the city!
"Woo woo woo …"
Both the crowd and the guards in front of the building were given a great fright. The crowd subconsciously stopped their protests, and the guards slowed down their strength. Everyone looked into the sky with confused and confused expressions.
"What's going on?"
Xiao En and his buddies beside him were also startled. They looked left and right with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from afar. Trails of smoke appeared in the sky and descended from the sky, landing between the buildings in the distance.
Just when everyone was puzzled, in the next moment, an ear-piercing explosion suddenly exploded out!
BANG!!
The sudden burst of shockwaves swept through the streets like a hurricane. Everywhere it passed, the windows of all the buildings were shattered!
Everyone's widened eyes reflected the spreading shockwave. In the next second, the shockwave, which was wrapped in countless debris and debris, swept over the crowd in the square. Everyone was shaken to the ground!
Sean slammed heavily onto the ground. He was dragged a few meters away before the shockwave dissipated. His arms and legs were scratched, and a stream of blood flowed down from his forehead, blurring his vision. His brain was concussed from the impact, causing the world in his eyes to spin. His eardrums were ringing, and he felt like vomiting.
He looked up in horror and saw that the city in the distance had changed drastically. There were violent explosions, and buildings collapsed and turned into ruins. Flames danced wildly in the sky, and thick smoke billowed, transforming into mushrooms.
"Air … air raid! Is it a missile?! "
Xiao En's eyes widened in disbelief.
Panic spread through the square in an instant, and all the demonstrators and guards showed a look of horror.
At this moment, small black dots suddenly appeared in the distant sky. Fighter jets were flying toward them at high speed, heading straight for the Gelan House building. They were closing in on the crowd in a menacing manner.
Seeing this, the crowd woke up from their daze and screams pierced through the sky.
"Run!!"
"Enemy attack!!"
The crowd scattered and fled. They had no time to care about anything else. The placards used for protest were thrown all over the ground.
In an instant, the square fell into disorderly chaos. Many people were pushed and fell to the ground. They were instantly drowned in the crowd that was fleeing in panic, and no one made a sound.
Sean was completely stunned. He sat on the ground with his mouth wide open.
Just as he was about to be trampled by the crowd, a strong force came from his shoulder and pulled him up.
Mago had already crawled up from the ground. His entire body was covered in blood. Unknowingly, he had come over and pulled Xiao En up from the ground. With a forceful push on Xiao En's shoulder, he pushed Xiao En away. With a face full of anxiety, he angrily shouted:
"What are you waiting for? Run now! "
Sean's mind was in a mess. He was in a daze. His strong fear and survival instinct made him unable to think about anything else. He instinctively moved his arms mechanically and ran with the crowd.
Sean finally woke up from his daze after running for a long distance. He quickly turned around to look for Mago and his friends.
However, they were separated by the crowd while they were running.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
More whistling sounds came from the sky. He turned around subconsciously and saw fighter jets approaching the Glan Residence building. The national emblem of Raylan on the fighter jets reflected a blinding light.
Short-range missiles were fired from the fighter jets. They left long trails of flame behind them and hit the Glan Residence building accurately.
Boom boom boom —
Intense explosions sounded. The Glan Residence building was destroyed beyond recognition. It was full of holes. Flames burst out, illuminating the terrified faces.
Under everyone's gaze, the Glan Residence building collapsed. It fell on the shattered square, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The reflection in Sean's eyes.
Glan's flag was burned to ashes in the raging flames.
