Chapter 1424 - 462: The Situation Is Settled (Part 2)

Chapter 1424: Chapter 462: The Situation Is Settled (Part 2)

Especially when the soldiers raised their guns into offensive positions, the originally boiling crowd immediately began to push and retreat. If any disturbance occurred at this time, it would quickly turn into a stampede escape incident.

"People of New America! Do not be afraid!"

A shout arose from the front of the crowd.

The crowd automatically cleared a path toward both sides of the street, creating a route for Lin Miao as he walked toward the riot control troops.

"The great President Miles has authorized me to use New America’s final force! She will protect every citizen of New America!"

What?

Final force?

How come I’ve never heard of Miles having any final force, and doesn’t this kind of thing obviously belong in the hands of Military Technology?

Standing atop the building, Christopher was suddenly filled with unease.

Of course, there is no final force.

Because there’s only one thing that can serve as the final force here.

And that is Lin Miao himself!

Bang!

A street lamp bulb exploded, the voltage in street shops and buildings began to fluctuate, and all digitally controlled appliances flickered intermittently.

Bang bang bang!!!

Centered around Lin Miao, the entire network of Detroit was experiencing violent fluctuations.

In the network technology department of the Ford Building, dozens of hackers in their chairs suddenly let out screams.

"Ah!!!"

If one activates the data function of the hackers’ prosthetic eyes, they would see these hackers flashing with black-red lightning all over their bodies.

The maintenance personnel didn’t even have time to disconnect the hackers from the internet before they collectively died suddenly, their life indicators dropping to zero, their electrocardiogram turning into a straight line.

Bang!

The Ford Building went dark, even the backup power system was incinerated, and the iconic [Ford] ID, which hadn’t been turned off in fifty years, was extinguished today.

Immediately after, General Motors and Chrysler.

These three tombstones weighing on the people of Detroit halted at this moment!

The Neon Tower turned into a silent monument.

The sudden change frightened everyone, and the squad leader blocking Lin Miao prepared to question him.

"What have you done!"

Instead, the smart weapons in the hands of the armed squad erupted with arcs of electricity, scaring them into throwing away their weapons; armed drones and hovercars made emergency landings.

Then the Prosthetic System was locked down, and the soldiers, in horror, found most functionalities of their invincible combat prosthetics unusable, leaving their strength limited to barely surpassing that of ordinary people.

The squad member hackers clutched their heads, kneeling on the ground shaking in agony.

"It’s the hacker...ugh..."

Hacker?

Lin Miao curled his finger, if killing these people directly wasn’t too shocking, he could crush everyone in the company internal network like he was squishing bugs.

His power had long surpassed what it had been when he first achieved Black Wall compatibility.

But doing so would also spread fear of him among the populace, which wasn’t what Lin Miao wanted to see.

As for Miles, Song Zhaomei can handle that for him.

"President Miles has commanded the Federation hackers to launch cyber attacks against these criminals, revoking their United States nationality."

"Citizens, now you are not only resisting corporate tyranny, but you are also heroes defending New America’s assets from these criminals!"

The crowd witnessed firsthand the malfunction of armed security weapons and the crash of hovercars, but the residual power of the company remained, prompting their reluctance to rush forward.

Until Pan’an led Adcardo and others, charging out from the crowd to attack armed security, who were still trying all means to activate their prosthetics.

But all was futile, until Pan’an’s fist struck their faces, flooring the captain with a punch, then executing him with a shot – their prosthetics and weapons remained completely unresponsive.

Electromagnetic weapons, smart weapons were all rendered useless, leaving only the most outdated kinetic weapons functioning.

But kinetic weapons could not change the current situation.

Lin Miao turned back and raised his fist, shouting loudly to the people behind him.

"Long live New America!"

"Long live President Miles!"

"MAGA!"

Upon witnessing with their own eyes the company’s security being beaten down by others, the people were initially incredulous, then began to stir.

The corporate-constructed tower in their hearts, built over decades, was crumbling little by little.

Once Walt confirmed he was out of danger, he immediately rushed up, still shouting,

"Make America great again!"

However, he didn’t pursue trouble with the security, instead squeezing through the Adcardo group, running toward the building.

With the vanguard leading the charge, the blind beast that is the crowd had direction, collectively shouting MAGA as they rushed toward the company building and city council.

Although the security squad still possessed combat skills, any combat skill was futile against the masses, not even having time to draw their daggers before being subdued by a group.

Rocks, bricks, folding stools—people used whatever was on hand to beat these company top henchmen to death.

"Holy shit...."

Returning to Lin Miao’s side, Pan’an watched the surging crowd around her, astonished.

She had never seen such a scene before.

The entire city shouting the same slogan, charging toward the company building, that momentum felt more oppressive than the corporate skyscraper ahead.

Pan’an, with lingering fear, said,

"You’re playing pretty big this time."

"Not big enough, if you ask me."

Lin Miao pointed at the General Motors building ahead,

"Every major city across the world has such corporate skyscrapers, United Agriculture, Asuka, EBM...If we could knock them all down, only then could you call it big."

Pan’an thought about the scene Lin Miao described, her heart was uncontrollably excited yet still somewhat regretful.
