Chapter 1266: The Weakness of Nevernight Fire Apricot
“Beep—beep—beep—!”
As the Turbine Gang leader's vital signs and soul dissipated, sharp alarms and red lights began to cover the factory building at a high frequency.
Apparently, his death triggered some kind of alarm.
But Lin Yu has not forgotten what Huo Xing from Buyetian told him not long ago.
The Turbine Gang members...will go crazy!
Even without using his mental power to sense, Lin Yu could sense that in the production workshop on the first floor, the anger was rising wildly and was soon reaching an out-of-control level.
Because the angry roars of those Turbine Gang members almost shook the floor!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
The production of power parts requires a large amount of angry emotions as energy. Truth Company has a safe means to extract it using simple "artificial life", and the emotion collectors in each community will also collect the anger generated by people in the entire city that never sleeps in their daily lives.
However, the Turbine Gang, an out-of-town organization, lacks both of these technologies, so their method of collecting raw materials...
Naturally, they use inferior alchemical materials to refine imitation drugs that can make people feel violent, and let all production personnel take large amounts of them, so as to continuously produce fresh anger.
But this side effect will naturally make them become...
Easy to lose control.
At this moment, the shouting became louder and louder, so loud that Lin Yu could not hear any other sounds, as if the most indignant people in the city that never sleeps had gathered together and were marching in anger downstairs.
And this uncontrolled anger soon became more than just shouting.
"boom!"
The office door was kicked open, and the furious Turbine Gang members, whose bodies were red and looked like cooked shrimps, roared and rushed towards Lin Yu and Buyetian Huoxing.
They were not seeking revenge for their boss - these Turbine Gang members might not even be aware of the sudden death of their gang leader. Their minds were completely consumed by emotions, their souls almost devoured by rage, and they had no way of thinking about anything. They could only rely on their most primitive animal nature and instinct to attack the "outsiders" on their territory.
"It's totally ruined! That's why illegal workshops are a no-no. They're full of safety hazards!"
Huo Xing from Buyetian yelled, then jumped up, picked up the leather sofa under his butt and threw it out, knocking down the nearest Turbine Gang members.
Then she kicked the sofa again, temporarily blocking the door that had been knocked open.
Then, Buyetian Huoxing looked at Lin Yu and asked, "What should we do, Arthur, what should we do now?"
Lin Yu was helpless: "You are the local, why are you asking me what to do?"
"As the Fairy Queen, you should know more about these gangs than I do—I don't even know how many people are in this gang."
Huo Xing bit her fingernails. "Probably less than two thousand people? Or maybe more than two thousand—I'm not sure. I just collect money from them!"
Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huoxing and the Turbine Gang members who were pushing the sofa outside the door: "So, can they still be saved?"
"No, this isn't just a loss of control. After the Turbine Gang's leader dies, they will be irreversibly consumed by rage, their souls becoming its nourishment, and their bodies its carriers," said Nevernight Fire Apricot, her tone somewhat sad. "What we're about to face are thousands of mad beasts who know no pain or fatigue."
"The emotion of anger was originally developed as a source of energy to strengthen combat units.
of. ”
Lin Yu exhaled: "I thought you would find this kind of thing very funny."
"If I'd encountered something like this in someone else's territory, before I became the 'Fairy Queen,' or even before I was captured by the R&D department, I'd definitely have found it quite amusing," said Nevernight Fire Apricot, stepping on the head of a Turbine Gang member who had just been hit by a sofa but was still struggling to get up. "But now... they're all my precious 'resources,' bargaining chips that could help me fight for my freedom, and they're being wasted... The thought of that makes me completely unhappy."
"What's more, we have to find a way to escape now!"
The sofa was moved away, and more than ten members of the Turbine Gang rushed in. Lin Yu took out the [Torch of Fear] and knocked them to the ground.
Although these guys were consumed by fear, they were no match for Lin Yu.
Without using too many abilities, Lin Yu could even easily defeat them with just hand-to-hand combat.
After calming down and analyzing, Lin Yu discovered...
"With this level of strength, even if there are thousands of out-of-control members like this, it doesn't seem difficult to deal with them."
"It's just a little troublesome at best—don't be too pessimistic, Nevernight Fire Apricot."
Lin Yu comforted Buyetian Huoxing.
On the other side, Huo Xing from Buyetian grabbed a Turbine Gang member who she had knocked unconscious and swung him around as a weapon, also continuously knocking down many furious gang members.
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Buyetian Huoxing shook his head.
"No, 'trouble' is the biggest problem - we will be dragged down and trapped by these guys. And in the City That Never Sleeps, a large-scale out-of-control of 'emotional energy' of this magnitude will attract the Security Bureau's special operations team, or even the rapid response team of the Truth Company's security department to handle it!"
As Huo Xing finished speaking, Lin Yu heard a whistling sound coming from the direction above his head.
"Ugh——!"
The low sound penetrated the iron wall of the factory and echoed inside.
The furious and out-of-control Turbine Gang members fell to the ground one after another at the loud noise, with painful expressions on their faces.
Lin Yu also felt negative emotions such as sadness and bitterness in his heart.
"What is this?"
Lin Yu looked at the Buyetian Fire Apricot.
Nevernight Huo Xing spat, "The Weeping Stick...the Special Operations Team, they reacted too quickly!"
"We have to run fast—Arthur, let's go back underground!"
Lin Yu looked at the uneasy Buyetian Huoxing and immediately went underground with her.
But he still couldn't help asking, "Are you that anxious? I always feel like you seem particularly nervous!"
"Besides, even if it's the special operations team, we may not be able to defeat them, right?"
Buyetian Huoxing shook her head: "No, no, no, they don't need to really 'catch' me... Even if they see me, I can't accept it!"
"What I'm afraid of isn't these special operations teams, but... my mother will find out about this!"
"If my mother knew I caused a thousand-person outburst in the Outer City... she'd definitely use it as an excuse to exploit me further," said Huo Xing of the Nightless Sky, a look of fear even appearing on her face. "No! I don't want to work overtime! I want to be free to pick up trash in the Outer City and the Great Wilderness. I absolutely cannot get caught!"
"Arthur—let's run!"
