The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

The sky over Huahai City was already completely shrouded in a thick, blood-red haze. The once bustling city streets and alleys had now become a living hell.

The bizarre disaster caused by the Nine Lives Cat was like an unexpected apocalyptic storm, sweeping across the entire city in just a few hours.

The piercing screams, desperate cries, the deafening crashes of collapsing buildings, and eerie cat meows mingled together, shattering the last vestiges of peace in this seaside city of Japan.

On the streets, panicked people ran and fled in terror, many with torn clothes and eyes filled with extreme fear.

They don't know where the proliferation of cats came from; they only know that they too will inexplicably become cats.

The city's order completely collapsed. The police and self-defense forces were no match for the terrifying chain reaction of the Nine Lives Cat. The scattered order was quickly torn apart, and more and more people became victims of the disaster.

Amidst this utter chaos, a figure quietly seized control of the situation.

After the commander transformed into a nine-lives cat, Xu Feng swiftly took over all remaining armed forces in Huahai City with ruthless methods.

The scattered guards and police officers were reorganized.

With an unquestionable order, the defense line, which was on the verge of being completely out of control, was stabilized, and then the order to seal off the entire Flower Sea City was issued immediately.

"Block all exits from the city, implement full control by land, sea, and air, and enforce the order of 'entry only, no exit'!"

Xu Feng's voice, transmitted through the communication equipment, resounded through every blockade checkpoint, cold and authoritative, leaving no room for negotiation.

He was dressed in a dark robe and wore a cold warden mask.

The oppressive aura emanating from him made all the soldiers who were carrying out his orders dare not disobey in the slightest.

Despite their initial panic, this hastily assembled team quickly sprang into action under Xu Feng's forceful pressure.

Roadblocks, barbed wire, and security lines were quickly erected, completely blocking all roads leading out of Huahai City, while armed helicopters circled overhead.

Patrol boats blocked the sea, turning the entire Flower Sea City into a completely isolated island.

The elite containment team and the Japanese Home Defense Force were baffled by this seemingly illogical blockade order, but no one dared to step forward and question it.

They don't understand that Huahai City is now a living hell.

Everyone was desperately trying to escape, so why did the warden order that people could only enter but not leave? Wasn't that pushing more people into the fire?

Xu Feng naturally had his reasons.

The Nine Lives Cat's causal tracing mechanism is extremely bizarre; it is a terrifying ability that involves the origin of life and the threads of destiny.

The nine-lived cat can trace cause and effect, and determine that if a person had never been born, they would not have been killed.

This could trigger a deadly causal attack, a force that is all-pervasive and, once it spreads, could have unimaginable consequences.

To put it in simple terms.

If you weren't born from me, why did you turn into a cat?

Those who, instead of fleeing, desperately try to rush into Flower Sea City at this moment have only one purpose.

They have relatives in the city whom they cannot bear to part with, such as parents, wives and children, or close relatives.

Knowing full well that the city was a place of near-certain death, they still risked their lives to break in, just to save their loved ones.

This action precisely confirms the inseparable causal bond between them and their relatives in the city.

These causal threads are naturally within the Nine Lives Cat's logic of tracing the origins of cause and effect, and can be triggered at any time.

If these people are allowed to leave, the Nine Lives Cat's power of tracing cause and effect will quietly spread out of Flower Sea City along the connections between them and their relatives.

At that time, this disaster will not be limited to just one city; the entire Japan will be engulfed in this catastrophic catastrophe and completely overwhelmed.

While the fall of Japan might sound satisfying, the massive causal chain of events that could lead to the fall of the entire country could very well extend to the whole world!

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Mads Mikkelsen predicted that if the Nine Lives Cat continues to spread at its current rate and is not contained, it could destroy the world in seven days!

The severity of the disaster increased exponentially, fortunately.

The Nine-Lives Cat appeared in the small territory of Japan, which means that there are very few causal links that have spread outwards. Not only is the spread limited, but it is also easy to contain.

Xu Feng's gentle blockade was never out of kindness, but rather to cut off the possibility of the Nine Lives Cat's causal spread at its root.

Soon, the scene outside the blockade completely confirmed Xu Feng's judgment.

A steady stream of Japanese people poured in from all directions.

Their expressions were anxious, their eyes were bloodshot as they stared at the blocked intersection ahead, crying and pleading incessantly, trying to rush into Huahai City.

"Let me in! My wife and children are still inside! I need to save them!"

"Please, please let me through! My parents are still at home; I can't leave them behind!"

"It'll be too late if we wait any longer; they'll all die inside!"

A short, middle-aged man, his face streaked with tears, frantically pounded on the roadblock in front of him. His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were filled with despair and urgency.

He clutched a family photo tightly in his hand; it was a picture of him with his wife and young daughter.

He was working out of town, but upon learning of the disaster in Huahai City, he immediately rushed back.

He drove there immediately, and even though he knew the city was in complete chaos, he would never abandon his family.

Similar scenes played out outside every lockdown checkpoint.

Countless people, longing for their loved ones, surrounded the checkpoints, making them completely impassable.

The noise, cries, and pleas were deafening; the crowd was restless and a large-scale collision could occur at any moment.

Xu Feng stood on the high ground behind the checkpoint, looking coldly at everything before him through the warden's mask. It was quite interesting that these causal threads had all come to him on their own initiative.

We've come to this critical juncture.

No, it would be really unreasonable for the press conference to order you to be quarantined in the Huahai City concentration camp.

Xu Feng slightly raised his right hand and issued the order.

"Anyone who insists on breaking through the checkpoint to enter the city will be gently detained and taken to a concentration camp; no one may leave the city on their own!"

Xu Feng issued another order.

The term "mild" only applies to those law-abiding citizens who are willing to cooperate with the move to the city.

However, Xu Feng's methods were anything but gentle for those who harbored illusions and tried to force their way out of Huahai City.

In particular, the local rioters in Huahai City took advantage of the chaos of the disaster to try to break through the blockade.

He fled alone, attempting to leave the disaster in Huahai City behind, completely disregarding the terrifying consequences of tracing the cause and spreading the virus.

Xu Feng showed no mercy to these kinds of people.

"Anyone who dares to force their way through the checkpoint will be dealt with severely; their limbs will be broken, and they will be thrown into the city!"

When the order was given, the soldiers hesitated at first, but then they saw the increasingly frenzied mob trying to break through the roadblocks.

Sensing the chilling killing intent emanating from Xu Feng, they gripped their batons tightly and swung them without hesitation.
