Chapter 1106: The mutation begins

~8 min read 1,464 words

"Quick, quick, quick! The leader has already left the parliament!"

Just as Li Ang was dragging Qiaoshuya away from the parliament hall and forcibly pushing him into the carriage, on the clock tower seven or eight streets away, a middle-aged man with a somewhat plump figure put down the telescope in his hand, turned his head, and asked anxiously:

"Is everything ready? How is the situation at the Wang Gong?"

"Still a bit off."

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, a woman with a bald head beside him answered:

"Although the director of the Chuchu branch went to the Dream World, she left two anomalous objects in the Wang Gong. Lu Ke can't get past the threshold she set, so we still have to wait for the leader to come over and find a way to bring him into the Wang Gong."

"What about the others? How are the others prepared?"

"Feibi and I are ready."

A woman with an aged appearance but very young eyes answered:

"Last night we mixed into the military camp, cleaned up part of the messenger's memory in the military academy, and implanted a set of fake order flag numbers.

Now, no matter how the Wang Gong asks for help and troops, the messenger in the military camp will treat the distress signal as a safety signal. Before the commotion completely spreads, there shouldn't be anyone from the military camp coming to support."

"Taige is also ready."

At this time, a man who was also setting up a telescope not far away reported excitedly:

"The Laose Arcade is already on fire. The police department and other patrols have all been drawn away by the fire Taige set. Even if they discover something happened to the Wang Gong, they won't be able to come over in a short time."

"This side is also ready. Old Ouwen hired a few carriages and is already waiting by the main road. As soon as we start here, they will directly crash the cars."

"I have no problem here either! Several climate towers have been occupied. There are no other observation points nearby. People stationed outside the capital definitely won't discover the movement!"

"Me too! An ambush has been set up on Hongshan Street. If noble private soldiers are dispatched, we can..."

"I'm ready too! If anyone evacuates from the Wang Gong, we can immediately..."

Is it almost done?

Taking the telescope to look at the situation near the Wang Gong and confirming there were no obvious loopholes, the middle-aged man who spoke first couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Since everyone is ready, then send the signal and have everyone get ready!

The leader is already heading to the Wang Gong. It is estimated that he will arrive in a few minutes. After he brings Lu Ke into the Wang Gong and ensures the Princess's safety, immediately start the assault on the Wang Gong!"

"Also, keep an eye on the things you are responsible for. We are at the last step, don't make any mistakes at a time like this!"

Re-setting up the telescope and looking at the carriage driving toward the Wang Gong a few streets away, the plump middle-aged man said with a flushed face and full of excitement:

"The opposition members in the Upper House have all been caught. As long as there are no loopholes here and we successfully break into the Wang Gong, our wish for so many years will be..."

"Slap!"

Before the plump middle-aged man finished speaking, a palm suddenly reached out, slapped him hard on the face, and then snatched the telescope away.

"Ouch, what are you doing?"

"The Wang Gong! Look at the Wang Gong quickly!"

The Wang Gong? Could it be that someone in the Wang Gong discovered us?

Hearing his companion's somewhat panicked shout, the plump middle-aged man felt a chill in his heart, then turned his head abruptly to look.

However, the Wang Gong under the sun was still as quiet as before. Neither a team of fully armed soldiers rushed out, nor did anyone come out to ask for help.

Except for the guards on daily patrol and a few gardeners working on the lawn, everything was the same as when he looked just now, without any difference. "What's wrong?"

Looking twice and not seeing what was wrong, a blank look appeared on the plump middle-aged man's face. But among the crowd of rebels on the clock tower, it seemed that others had discovered something wrong, and the sound of gasping for air sounded one after another.

"How did this happen?!"

"Could it be that someone else is preparing to attack the Wang Gong?"

"It seems something is going to happen!"

"What's wrong? What happened to the Wang Gong? Where did something go wrong?"

Discovering that the plump middle-aged man didn't seem to understand yet, the bald woman who had slapped him just now couldn't help but stomp her feet, full of anxiety:

"People! You should look at the people!"

People?

Hearing the bald woman's reminder, the plump middle-aged man was slightly startled, hurriedly narrowed his eyes and looked toward the Wang Gong, then, like everyone else, gasped for air abruptly.

When looking from a distance, he hadn't noticed it, but now narrowing his eyes and looking carefully, whether it was the patrolling guards or the gardeners working on the lawn, they all had a strange metallic luster on their bodies.

And besides the strange luster on their bodies, the actions of the guards and gardeners also became strange, as if the complex joints on their bodies had been simplified by some strange means, and the movements of their limbs became mechanical and stiff, looking like...

Like living tin dolls!

Finally discovering what was wrong, the plump middle-aged man hurriedly snatched back his telescope and looked toward the Wang Gong.

In the lens of the telescope, those people who had flesh and blood just now had really turned into tin dolls. The eyeballs that originally belonged to humans on their faces had been replaced by pairs of colored glass beads.

On their faces with metallic luster, the position that originally belonged to the mouth also opened and closed mechanically from time to time like a puppet's chin, with two lines drawn down from the corners of the lips, thoroughly turning into the appearance of toys.

And what made the plump middle-aged man's heart jump even more was that the range where these tin doll people appeared didn't seem to be limited to the vicinity of the Wang Gong, but was spreading rapidly outward.

First, it was the few sentry posts facing the Wang Gong, then the outer wall and the driveway further out, then a small square connected to the driveway, and the bustling street outside the small square.

Like some kind of strange plague that was spreading, and like an ink dot dripped on a huge piece of white paper with the Wang Gong as the center, one human being after another with flesh and blood was uncontrollably transforming toward tin dolls.

And those people who had inexplicably turned into tin dolls seemed to be unaware of it, still doing their own things according to the way they were before they turned into dolls, totally unaware of what kind of changes had happened to them...

Wait?!

While being surprised by the mutation in the distance, the plump middle-aged man seemed to remember something. He hurriedly took the telescope and turned his head, starting to look for the carriage carrying Li Ang under the cover of the building, shouting anxiously while looking:

"Where is the leader? Where has the leader gone?"

Hearing the plump middle-aged man's shout, the crowd of rebels who had been shocked by the mutation of the Wang Gong also reacted. According to the original plan, their leader was currently holding the Prince hostage and preparing to mix into the Wang Gong as an insider.

However, looking at the weird appearance of the Wang Gong now, let alone mixing in, their leader would probably be turned into a tin person as soon as the carriage drove nearby!

After searching around anxiously and still not finding Li Ang's carriage, someone among the rebels finally reacted.

"Send the signal! Send the signal quickly!"

After hearing his words, everyone suddenly woke up like a dream, hurriedly took out the signal flare, wanting to warn their leader not to approach the Wang Gong at this time, however...

"Too late! It's already too late!"

Pointing to the small square in front of the Wang Gong, the bald woman put down the slingshot in her hand and said with a crying face:

"The carriage just went in, our leader is already a tin person now!"
