Just 8 billion people

Chapter 81: Eight Billion Troublemakers (Part )
"Why are my eyelids twitching again?"

Sitting at the dining table, Lee Ward stopped eating, holding a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and looked up at the blonde secretary opposite him in doubt.

Or rather... he is the current president of the "Anthropological Society".

"You haven't had a good rest these days." Avril picked up a cherry gracefully, put it between her red lips and white teeth, and chewed it slowly.

"...No." Putting down his knife and fork, Lee Howard touched his left eyelid seriously: "It's twitching violently."

"In the customs of Dongda University, eyelid twitching means good luck..."

"Just shut up. You said the same thing last time."

Standing up, Lee Huade walked around the table with a frown on his face. "Is there something wrong with Nanyang University again? These unruly people! What else do they want after we let them govern themselves?"

"Nanjing University's situation is special." Avril looked at Lee Howard without blinking. "It's already poor and remote, and they're unwilling to obey management. But as long as it doesn't affect the stability of other regions, they can make trouble if they want."

"...I really want to drop a few hundred nuclear bombs and wipe out the entire Southern District. It would also be a good example to scare the monkeys."

Avril knew that Lee Ward was just speaking angrily, so she smiled and said nothing.

Ever since the "spiritual explosion", people have become more capable and confident, and are becoming more and more capable of causing trouble.

Across the globe, there is a small rebellion every three days, a big rebellion every ten days, and an extremist group every month.

Especially in the remote Southern Region, there are even "limiters" sold on the black market.

You can’t sweep it all away.

There is no end to the fighting.

In this regard, several sociological expert groups have given a common explanation: they are full of energy and are holding it back.

"..."

He closed his mouth tightly and sat back in his seat. Lee Huade looked at the table full of delicacies, but he lost his appetite: "Are there any standards for grading?"

"I already have it." Avril put down her knife and fork, and suddenly disappeared!
Three seconds later.

Suddenly appeared again.

There was an extra document in his hand, which he handed to Lee Huade: "Take a look at it. If there is no problem, it will be popularized to the public."

"...Your teleportation technique is becoming more and more amazing." A hint of gloom flashed in the depths of Lee Huade's eyes.

"This will help me better assist you." Avril continued to smile.

Lee Ward didn't reply, but took the document and read it carefully from beginning to end.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "Is physical strength divided into six levels?"

"Yes." Avril picked up the fork again, pierced a cherry accurately, and put it into her mouth: "From low to high, one, two, three, four, five, six."

Lee Ward: “…”

Lee Howard: "This is too simple. It's not as impressive as the stone-breaking, building-blasting, city-destroying, and world-destroying levels that the old professor who was shot said."

"So he was shot." Avril shrugged: "It's simple, so it's easy to promote."

"And this...personal talent is divided into E, D, C, B, A, S?"

"What do you think?"

"...Okay. You guys can do whatever you want."

Throwing the document aside, Lee Ward picked up the knife and fork and continued to cut the beef on the iron plate.

"Okay." Taking the document, Avril nodded: "Then I'll pass it on, and I'll promote it this way in the future."

"...If it's Xiao Yu, what are his talent levels and strength levels respectively." Li Huade still seemed unable to forget that man.

"I'm not sure about his talent, because he didn't show any special abilities at the time. Let's just say he has an E-level talent. As for his strength... it's second-class."

"That is, the general public level?"

"Just a little bit better than the general public. The general public is first-rate."

"Oh..." He cut a piece of beef and put it on his lips without eating it. Lee Howard asked calmly, "What about you?"

"Me. Well, talent is S, strength is second."

"Then I am of talent E, first-class strength." Li Huade's face turned gloomy: "The ordinary people you mentioned are the weakest ones. If Xiao Yu was still alive, he could still control me."

“No, no, no.” Avril spread her hands: “You have an S talent and a fourth-level strength. After next year, your strength will be fifth-level.”

"But that is fake, a propaganda result to consolidate the federation."

"No matter how untrue something is, it will become true if you repeat it ten thousand times." Avril spat out the cherry pit and blinked, "And who would want to challenge you? The powerful Mr. Lee Ward."

"..."

Lee Ward remained silent and did not comment.

After the dramatic changes in the world, due to cultural inertia, the entire human race still maintains the previous social structure and ruling rules.

But Lee Ward knew that this was completely twisted.

In the past, one shot would kill him.

Everyone naturally uses their brains, talks about emotional intelligence, accumulates capital, considers connections, relies on luck, and even sells their butts.

But now?

It only depends on personal ability?
That doesn't make sense at all.

Not fair at all.

It's simply the reverse of Tiangang.

This is fine in the short term, but over time, society will certainly adjust itself and correct itself to the most appropriate class rules.

What should he do?
What about the family behind him?
"..."

"Looking for external threats?"

Li Huade's eyes flickered, and he considered the old method of winning over one group and suppressing another.

"Perhaps you don't need to worry so much."

As Lee Howard's closest secretary, Avril naturally guessed his thoughts and said slowly, "No matter how the world changes, power will always be above strength. What is a strong person? What is a hero? They are all toys of power. No matter how hard your fists are, they are controlled by your tendons."

"..."

"Three years ago, were there no powerful people? What about the boxing champion? What about the 100-meter record holder? What about those sharpshooters? There have been many brave and skilled warriors since ancient times. But the king will always rule over them."

"It's not the same thing." Lee Ward chewed the steak with gritted teeth.

"It's the same thing."

"You have an S-level talent, you can teleport, you can do whatever you want! Of course you can talk without any pain in your back!"

"..."

Hearing this, Avril was stunned.

He closed his mouth and ate the cherries in silence.

Lee Huade also immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and said, "I'm sorry."

"I don't mind. I know you're drunk."

"..."

"..."

The two sat opposite each other.

The restaurant fell silent for a long time.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Councillor Token can't help but cause trouble for Xiao's family."

"…These idiots, are their minds full of shit? Don't they know how chaotic the current situation is? The new political system hasn't stabilized yet, and those rebellious bastards are waiting for us to cause a scandal! Then they take the opportunity to incite those unruly people to cause trouble!"

"It's human nature. Didn't you cut Xiao Yu into pieces?"

"That's not the same thing!"

"So you want to stop Councilman Token?" Avril blinked. "He has a lot of financial support from the chaebol behind him."

"..."

After falling silent, Lee Huade's face turned even worse. "...Tell them not to show their tails. There cannot be any scandals in the new society system."

"Okay." Avril nodded: "I'll remind you."

End of topic.

Lee Huade was still obsessed with his original idea: "You said... I should start a war? Start a war between several other regions and the Southern Region? Divert the conflict?"

"Don't think about it anymore." Picking up a wet towel and wiping her mouth elegantly, Avril smiled and said, "I have good news for you. The military laboratory has developed a high-spin bullet with an alloy steel needle and triple propulsion. Even the highest-level sixth-class superman can be shot through with one bullet."

"Really?!" Lee Ward's pupils dilated.

"Hmm~" Avril stood up, poured a glass of red wine for Lee Ward and herself, and raised her glass: "Want to celebrate?"

"Of course! Of course!" Lee Howard reacted and quickly picked up the tall glass: "For humanity!"

"For humanity."

"For my Avril."

"Hehe...also for my Lord the Leader."

"when--"

After the clinking of glasses, Lee Ward drank the red wine in great excitement, feeling refreshed every part of his body.

"Are your eyelids still twitching now?" Avril raised the corners of her mouth.

"No more jumping. No more jumping."

……

Tokyo University.

White City.

"Wow—"

"Wow--"

Under the astonished gaze of everyone at the scene, the shaking of the grave mound became more and more violent.

Soon, the palm that Xiao Jiji had just buried popped out again.

The girl was anxious and bent down subconsciously, wanting to continue burying.

But I saw that hand push against the ground, and the muscles exerted force——

"boom!!"

A naked figure suddenly soared into the sky! Straight into the sky!
"Crash la la la..."

Dirt, slag, debris... mixed with pieces of charred flesh and bones, fell from the top of everyone's head.

In the early morning sunlight, it was like a light dark brown rain.

"thump!"

Ten seconds later, the figure landed.

He slowly stood up, opened his arms, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath of the outside air.

"finally……"

"came back."

Everyone present: "..."

"That's living."

Taoists believe that fasting for one month and tasting green fruits for the first time is the ultimate enjoyment.

And Xiao Yu was "stripped" of his true sixth sense for three whole years...

"Do you know how I have been through these three years?"

After a while, Xiao Yu had absorbed enough oxygen.

He opened his eyes, smiled, and faced everyone: "Do you still recognize me? Is this a handsome appearance? Cut your stomach."

Xiao Jiji: “…”

Everyone present: "..."

He didn't ask for any reply. Xiao Yu reached out and touched his bald head, then lowered his head and looked at Xiao Jiji who was looking up at him, with a complicated expression: "Thank you for your hard work, little cutie."

"..."

Xiao Jiji looked up, still as dumbfounded as a fool.

Under the sun.

She only saw Xiao Yu's sharp edges and distinct shades of his jaw.

It is like a solid and heavy mountain, blocking out the sky and the sun.

Blocked out all the noise for her... "..."

Her eyes were red again, and the girl opened her mouth hesitantly, as if she was in a dream: "Am I... dreaming...?"

"Sorry, I'm not wearing any clothes. Don't look at me."

"Brother...am I really dreaming?" The girl's tears rolled down and her voice choked.

"Be good." Bending down, Xiao Yu wiped the corners of the girl's eyes and sighed softly: "I was in a hurry before and didn't take care of you. I didn't expect that I would disappear for so long. Sorry."

"..."

"……elder brother!!!"

Xiao Jiji's emotions collapsed instantly. She let out a loud cry, hugged Xiao Yu and burst into tears.

But I only cried for three seconds.

She stopped talking, turned around, stretched out her dirty little finger, and pointed at the six clay and wooden sculptures of men and women in the distance: "They are the ones who bully me."

six people:"……"

"Okay." Xiao Yu stood up and patted the girl's head: "Cover your eyes."

"Shh!"

Xiao Jiji immediately raised her hands and covered her eyes.

But the "serious" gaze was still observing secretly through the gaps between the five fingers.

"Better turn around. Don't look back."

"it is good."

Xiao Jiji turned around obediently.

But he suddenly bent over, and his head fell between his legs...

"…Do you really have to watch it?"

"Brother, if you can't fight, stop it."

"fart!!"

Xiao Yu's entire combat power suddenly soared by 17.5 percent: "Turn around!"

The girl pursed her lips, straightened up and stopped looking.

Xiao Yu wiped the remaining tears from his palms, walked to the six people calmly and without turning around, and looked around from left to right. He said, "Who can lend me a set of clothes first?"

"You..." The middle-aged man in the robe took a step back with a gloomy face, his scalp tingling: "Are you Xiao Yu?"

“I’m going bald.”

Xiao Yu touched his scalp again: "It's hard to recognize."

"Impossible! Xiao Yu is dead!"

"Alive again."

"Don't play tricks on me! Who the hell are you?" The middle-aged man in the long robe glanced at the grave in the distance and asked, "Why are you sneaking into the grave in advance?"

"Brother." A younger officer in long robes couldn't help but ask, "You have a lot of capital, right?"

The voice just fell.

Xiao Yu raised his hand and punched.

The fist didn't even touch the opponent's skin. The energy compressed to the limit penetrated the young robe officer's head!
"Snapped--"

The head exploded instantly!

Like an exploding watermelon!
However, the strong energy that had penetrated through was still surging forward and hit the small forest on the hill about ten meters behind the officer in the long robe.

"boom!!!"

Flames shot up into the sky! The earth shook!
The entire hill was completely flattened.

In the midst of the smoke and dust, only a dent left by the giant fist was left...

The other five people: "..."

"It hits the head." Putting away his fist, Xiao Yu asked the middle-aged man in the robe who was leading the group, "Even if he were to upgrade his dimension, he would not be able to survive, right?"

The middle-aged man in the robe had a brain freeze.

Strands of urine soaked the hem of his robe...

It is true that the world is experiencing an “explosion of spiritual energy”.

It is true that the entire nation has "evolved".

But it's not possible to overturn a mountain with just one punch!
"Where is the Federation headquarters?" Xiao Yu restrained his smile, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Oh, yes. The current name is the Human Society, right? Where is the headquarters?"

"You in the end..."

"boom!"

Another punch!
The skull of the middle-aged man in the robe was blown off.

Xiao Yu looked at the third person and said in a cold tone: "Where is the headquarters of the society?"

The third one was a female officer covered in blood and flesh. Her lips trembled with fear and she stepped back repeatedly: "I... am... am..."

"boom!!"

The earth shook violently.

The female commander was completely gone.

Xiao Yu continued to look at the fourth person, who was the headmistress of the orphanage: "Where is the headquarters of the society?"

"In Oranmar, Western Region!" The headmistress was terrified, her legs weak: "Don't... don't kill me... please..."

"boom!!!"

Xiao Yu looked at the fifth person: "Specific location."

"...Are you really Xiao Yu? I'm actually your fan..."

"boom!!"

He raised his fist and faced the last person: "The exact location."

"Chef University! Chef University in Oranje, Western Region! The Faculty of Social Sciences! The whole building is full of it!"

"it is good."

"I've already told you! What else do you want to ask? I'll tell you everything! Oh! By the way! Sir, do you need a guide?"

"No need." Xiao Yu smiled again: "Just be obedient. Let's go."

"Gulu."

Swallowing hard, the only survivor immediately turned around and crawled away.

"Let you walk ten meters first."

"Ah?" Lucky looked back in surprise.

Then, a "strong wind" that slightly distorted the surrounding air came towards me.

"boom--"

Exploding red all over the sky...

All solved.

Xiao Yu spread out his hands and quietly observed the lines on his palms.

In fact, he had already "woken up" yesterday.

Three years and one day away from death.

It will take three years to reach the next dimension.

This also made him realize that the time of his "appearance" had nothing to do with the time of his death.

It is only related to the time of dimension upgrade.

At the same time, his new body was not restored from the charred and rotten remains.

But it was born out of thin air.

"..."

In silence, Xiao Yu tentatively pinched his little finger and pulled it hard.

"Snapped--"

The thumb was severed instantly.

But strangely, no blood spurted out.

Bones, tendons, blood vessels, and fat do not exist at all.

And in the next second, the broken finger miraculously recovered.

The original severed finger disappeared...

"..."

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

It is clear.

This body of his is no longer a "normal" body.

Rather, it is something that is created out of thin air by some kind of "rule", virtual and substantial, and violates biological logic...

"Spirit?"

'Or something else.'

"..."

'Or gas?'

'After all, I came from Qi'er.'

"Snapped--"

While thinking, Xiao Yu broke one of his hands as if he was dismantling a building block.

same.

Bones, blood vessels, fat... none of the tissues that humans should have.

And it also fully recovers within seconds.

'It still hurts. But not as much.'

"..."

"..."

'I may know.'

Xiao Yu seemed to be thinking about something.

What is his talent?
Invincible in the same dimension.

But to be more precise, he is always one dimension higher than his peers.

When all human beings are low-dimensional creatures, he is a high-dimensional creature.

When all humans are higher-dimensional creatures, then he...

'Naturally it is super-dimensional.'

'The original flesh cannot support a super-dimensional creature, so it will naturally undergo a transformation.'

"..."

"That should be the case...right?"

Just as Xiao Yu was lost in his thoughts, Xiao Jiji, who was far away, turned back cautiously because he hadn't heard any other sounds for a long time: "...Brother?"

"Huh? Oh."

Coming back to his senses, Xiao Yu suppressed his complicated thoughts and smiled again: "Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes."

Say it.

He stripped off the lining and robe of the first headless unfortunate fellow and put them all on himself.

Then he walked up to Xiao Jiji, picked her up and carried her on his shoulders: "Do you want to see the city explode?"

"……In no mood."

"Okay. I'll take you to see it."
