What is a super villain?

Chapter 215 Collapse
"The situation is roughly cleared up, Luna."

Wood said to her while turning off the Nightcrawler's communication channel.

At this moment, they were at the corner of the alley opposite the Nightcrawler Welfare Institute, and the street was full of crowded people.

The freight driver sat on the truck and honked anxiously, trying to get the crowd out of the way; an opinion leader stood on a high platform and gave a speech with bare sleeves, while the audience below shouted louder and louder;

The crowd was surging, and chaotic yelling and cursing broke the sky.

Wood took a look and continued to explain:
"The cause of the incident was a few gangsters on Spider Street. For some reason, they took the initiative to attack a convoy from uptown. The bodyguards of the convoy stopped them, but the lads refused to let it go. After that, the situation intensified and the RCPD was dispatched."

"Because of us, the atmosphere on the streets is very frenzied during this period. I originally thought that after a period of calm, everyone would calm down slowly, but I didn't expect that something would happen at this juncture."

His words were full of helplessness.

Wood had expected the current situation of burning oil with fire at the very beginning.

"The situation is sensitive right now... With all due respect to Luna, Nightcrawler should not be involved. It's not about us, and it's not something we can stop."

While speaking, there was a loud noise not far from them.

The anti-theft steel door of a store was knocked down, and a group of angry people rushed into the store, and immediately started beating, smashing and looting frantically.

The shop owner was dragged to the street by several people, holding his head helplessly and shivering.

Seeing that they were going to beat the shopkeeper, Lu Nansheng stopped immediately.

"Stop! What are you doing!"

Her fame on the streets is now known to everyone, and everyone knows it.

The group of people who smashed the shop was a small group on the streets of Yehuo Street. They were not very old, and Moyo had just come of age.

Seeing Lu Nansheng approaching, someone from the small group shouted:

"Luna!"

Others who were robbing shops or preparing to beat people also stopped.

The boss of the small group greeted them.

Lu Nansheng asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

"Revenge!"

The boss of the small group spat and pointed at the shopkeeper.

"He is a black-hearted beast who sold us a low-quality first-aid spray as a company product at a high price last year, killing two of our friends."

Several other people in the small group echoed:
"Yes, it's him!"

"He also sold adulterated solid fuel, causing Aaron's motorcycle in Bubble Street to run out of control and crash to death!"

"I saw it next to his store before. The employees are all seven or eight-year-old children, and they can only eat two meals a day without wages!"

"Nightcrawler said that if you do something bad, you have to pay the price!"

They rushed to accuse the shopkeeper of more than a dozen crimes.

Lu Nansheng frowned. She knew the owner of the shop, and he was considered a good person in the downtown area.

Fake and low-quality goods are very common on the streets, and few people in the downtown area can afford real quality products. Fuel and other things come from the black market, and adulteration is already a default thing in the downtown area, and has nothing to do with the shop owner. As for the child employees... Before the Nightcrawler Welfare Institute came into being, homeless children were hungry and full, and the shop owner was willing to let them eat two meals a day.

The boss of the small group was so unreasonable, he stared at Lu Nansheng and said:

"Luna, didn't you teach us? We are all equal people, no one can oppress us! Exploit us!"

"Yes! We want to be fair! We want to be fair!"

They yelled, yelling phrases they had only heard a few times.

These phrases seem to have become 'truth' in their eyes.

Wood took two steps forward and waved away:
"That's it, put down all the things you took in your pockets privately, and get out!"

The tall and strong veterans are very intimidating, and the small group is reluctant to put things down, and it is hard to hide their disappointment in the new round of conversations.

"Luna, are you covering him up?"

"Why... we are the victims."

"Where's the justice?"

Wood slammed his fist on the doorpost of the next room, and there was a bang accompanied by layers of cracks on the stone bricks.

"roll!"

Small groups scattered like birds and beasts.

Lu Nansheng helped the shopkeeper up, and the latter thanked her a few words, then ran into his shop and locked the second door.

What he saw in his eyes was not gratitude, but fear.

Wood's expression became more helpless:

"That's the way it is, your ideals and beliefs are misinterpreted and a lot of people just don't understand what it means."

"They only know that someone is behind them now... So they start to hate, hate the rich, hate the municipal government, hate the company, hate the people who stared at them on the street, and when they have confidence, there will be anger."

"I understand."

Lu Nansheng nodded without asking why.

The reason is very simple, but I never thought that the situation would become like this in such a short period of time.

"It's completely out of our control now."

Wood said with concern:
"I had the nightcrawlers call for restraint and calm, but to no avail. A crowd has assembled over the public elevator on Spider Street to demand justice from the RCPD."

"That's why we can't stay out of it, Major."

Lu Nansheng turned to him and said:

"Everyone must calm down, now only we... only I have this ability."

Wood disagreed and reached out to stop her:

"But you have also seen that not everyone will understand you. They will think that you are covering up and taking money from RCPD."

"Always try."

Lu Nansheng shook her head, and rushed to Spider Street without stopping.

She was a little shaken in her heart, underestimating the evil of human nature.

The unity she imagined is not like this. When people gather together, they should help and care for each other, rather than a group of people gathering together to bully someone; let alone make unreasonable demands and force others to fulfill them because of the number of people.

Lu Nansheng deployed his mecha, and the iconic silver Valkyrie flew across the street at low altitude, causing cheers.

When she arrived in front of the public elevator, the cheers reached their peak, as if the savior had come.

"It's Luna!"

"Help us, Nightcrawler, that group of tyrannical terrorist mobile teams, they are the ones who took people away!"

"Hahahaha, the night walker is here, you are dead!"

"As long as we are united, we will be invincible, and Nightcrawler will help us seek justice together!"

"Long live Wildfire Street!"

Lu Nansheng glanced at the scene, and the members of the RCPD terrorist mobile team stood in front of the public elevator connecting the upper and lower urban areas, their armor and muzzles forming a steel wall.

The crowd was about ten meters away from them, and this ten meters was an insurmountable chasm.

No matter how angry they were, no one dared to step within ten meters.

Because there were already many corpses falling within the boundaries, the blood flowed all over the ground and mixed with the soil.

She never thought that the situation would get out of control so quickly.

The RCPD was also whispering, thanks to the performance of the Chaser, a part of the conversation was still captured.

"...The lower city is completely out of control. This is no longer a street activity, but a riot!"

"The riots have already started. Looking at the statistics of the Public Facilities Construction Committee, countless shops were smashed and looted in one day, and the power system and water system in the lower urban area were also severely damaged."

"They attacked a convoy of tourists going down town, and several gentlemen and ladies in the convoy were frightened."

"Assault on tourists? Why?"

"I don't know! Maybe it's jealousy, seeing people sitting on the luxury floating car is uncomfortable... You know they are bold now."

"That's it! Now this group of thugs got together and asked us to hand over the thugs, thinking that RCPD oppressed them."

"It's funny, do they still have the law in their eyes?"

"Dog-eat-dog in the lower urban area was originally out of the police department's control. Now that the co-creation society is gone, the troublesome work falls to us."

"Isn't there still that eldest lady?"

"Come on, the eldest lady is on the side of the riot, and doesn't care about the laws of Rose City at all."

Lu Nansheng was silent, turned off the audio frequency capture, and then took a deep breath.

After a while, she turned on the Angel Hunter's loudspeaker and shouted to the crowd:

"Everyone in the lower city, I'm Luna."

"I understand your anger and thoughts, I am on your side! But now, please put down your weapons and stay calm!"

"I assure you, the matter will come to light and give everyone a fair explanation!"

When the shouting was over, there was an uproar to greet her.

The crowd gathered together became agitated, and cursed, confused, and puzzled came one after another.

Some people refused to accept this statement and waved their fists vigorously; some people shook their faces and asked questions in the air;

"What time is it, let us calm down! How can we calm down!"

"The facts are clear!"

"Which side are you on?"

"I'm so disappointed that you actually speak for outsiders."

"Look, I said before that she must have collected money from the municipal government. They made a lot of money from us, but we treated them as heroes."

Questions gradually turned into insults, like throwing a puddle of ice water into a hot oil pan, and it exploded.

Lu Nansheng was still trying her best to explain and appease, but at this moment, not many people were still listening to her.

People will only stubbornly agree with what they know, especially in the current situation. The concepts and ideas between them resonate and have formed a solid barrier.

Anything that does not conform to their cognition is wrong; any behavior beyond their cognition is not allowed.

The more you talk, the worse the rebellion becomes.

At this time, Lu Nansheng saw a few men with rough faces and haggard expressions in the crowd, and it could be seen that they did not have enough food and nutrition on weekdays.

These few people were not as excited as the others around them, but rather dull.

Following their line of sight, the huge gondola of the public elevator was just ahead.

One of the men held up a long-barreled weapon, a rather old-fashioned RPG rocket launcher.

Seeing this scene, Lu Nansheng's heart stopped for half a beat.

"Stop!"

she shouted.

People on the street looked back one after another, and shouted in panic after seeing the rockets.Immediately afterwards, a rocket dragged its flame tail and brought out a plain white trajectory, hitting the public elevator!

boom!
The broken shrapnel scattered into countless metal slags and flew in all directions.

More gunshots rang out, from the Terrorist Mobile Squad and from the streets.

This riot directly escalated into a riot attack!

Gunshots came from Lu Nansheng's ears, but no one aimed at her.

The RCPD was attacked by rockets and panicked to suppress the riot; after the shooting, the streets began to fight back.

In the chaotic battle, bullets followed one another.She saw people dying, with holes in their heads, or blood bursting out of their chests.

Crowds of people ran down the street in panic, screaming out of fear, bloody corpses were scattered on the ground, and a man's shoulders were bloody and bloody, and finally fell to the ground and cried out in pain.

Lu Nansheng was powerless to stop,
In other words, she was already sluggish the moment the rocket was launched.

In the end, the self-propelled robots of the RCPD surrounded her, and she came back to her senses. At this time, there were not many gunshots at the first scene where the conflict broke out, and the explosion and flames spread far away.

City Superintendent Davis Bateman stepped forward, took off his hat and sighed deeply.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lu, in this situation, you have to go with the police department."

He took out a silver handcuff that was more symbolic than practical:
"Sorry, you're under arrest."
