I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

"For instance, if it hadn't been for Miao during that last fixed event, wouldn't we have been wiped out long ago?"

Zhou Shen explained somewhat strenuously.

The mayor's expression was somewhat grim as he looked at the million-strong population marching straight toward Fengtian City. He felt he might have misunderstood Chen Miao; none of this could truly be related to Chen Miao.

This random event might have actually occurred by chance.

And had nothing to do with Chen Miao.

But even so, something was off about the current situation. He actually wanted to order a swift eradication of these people, but he didn't dare to give such an order. Unlike the previous mayor, who had been in Fengtian City for decades and ruled with an iron fist.

A command from him was quickly implemented, and no one defied him.

But the current mayor was different.

He had just taken office, and many people did not accept his authority. However, that wasn't the most important issue. What mattered most was that he was appointed with the support of the Zhang Family. This meant that after many actions, he had to obey the Zhangs.

If there were ever a conflict between his ideas and those of the Zhang Family, he had to yield to them.

And Mr. Zhang was standing right beside him at the moment. Without Mr. Zhang's permission to take action, he couldn't afford to show any temper. He was no different from a welcoming pine standing there; he was just like a mascot.

He even felt he was happier when he was the deputy mayor—at least then he was free. He didn't have to be chided in a commanding tone by a youngster. Although his position was higher now, he felt his status had plummeted.

He couldn't help but ponder whether his decision back then was the right one.

He wasn't the Zhang family's illegitimate child. His name was Zhang Wanyi, merely shared the Zhang surname. The Zhang Family approached him, saying they were willing to support him as the new mayor of Fengtian City.

But many people coveted that position.

Many powers from Jingjiu City wanted a person they trusted in that seat.

The Zhang Family could support him, but they lacked a reason to enter the competition—unless they spread the rumor that Zhang Wanyi was the Zhang Family's illegitimate son. Then the Zhangs could rightfully back him.

But the prerequisite was that he had to return to the Zhang family ancestral temple and give up his own family lineage.

For him, that was an intolerable demand.

After living half of his life, he never imagined the day would come when he'd have to erase his name from his family's genealogy and pay homage to another family's ancestors. It was a betrayal of his ancestors!

But... he didn't agree immediately.

After hesitating for a day, he ultimately accepted the proposal. The position of mayor was too alluring for him. He wanted to see for himself what the view was like from that seat. The difference between a deputy mayor and a mayor was just one simple step,

One single prefix.

But he knew well that such a small difference was beyond reach for many in their entire lifetimes.

In fact, by not rejecting the offer right away, he had already acknowledged his true desires. He spent that day hesitating mainly to set his mind at ease—to assuage the guilt of betraying his ancestors, a decision he couldn't accept too readily. Read new chapters at empire

"Understood, understood. I'm keeping an eye on everything here. Just hurry on over," Zhang Wanlin, who was hiding in a corner, instructed with a smile on his face as he spoke into his wristwatch: "With such a wealth of experimental material, our progress can speed up significantly. Such good opportunities don't come by often, so make it quick."

Upon laying eyes on this group of people for the first time.

All he thought was how many legitimate experimental subjects there were...

His company's medical research needed a large number of human bodies for experimentation. Rabbits couldn't completely replicate human responses, but recently, it had become increasingly difficult to recruit volunteers.

They could resort to various special measures—like kidnapping, purchasing from human traffickers' black markets, or increasing the resettlement fees for volunteers—to obtain more experimental subjects.

But these methods not only significantly increased the costs, but the number of volunteers remained scant. They couldn't carry out kidnappings or buy in bulk from traffickers on a large scale.

The risk was too great.

Even though the Zhang family was large and influential, such dealings should still be minimized. If they were exposed, it would be quite troublesome, even though they didn't really care about those commoners.

But their main customer base was the general public.

If those ordinary people started a unified boycott of their products, the Zhang family's profits would take a severe hit.

So...

Upon seeing nearly a million living people, he started scheming. So many experimental subjects would save so much money. He wasn't waiting for Jingjiu City's Events Bureau at all.

The Events Bureau of Jingjiu City wasn't idle either. If any random event in a city was somewhat irregular, they had to make a visit. Then what was the purpose of having a local Events Bureau?

What effect did the local Events Bureau even have?

Only in situations like the last time in Zhenba City, when the city was almost obliterated and even presented a threat to the entire Federation, would the Events Bureau from Jingjiu City get involved. Otherwise, they ignored everything else.

```

Just like last time in Broken Pot City, when zombies besieged the city and the entire Federation was monitoring the situation in Broken Pot City, countless media outlets were tracking the news in real-time, yet even so, Jingjiu City's Events Bureau didn't lift a finger.

To say nothing of the fact that this time, not a single person died, and the Jingjiu City Events Bureau eagerly came running, how could that be possible.

He had merely summoned all the employees from his pharmaceutical company, intending to capture as many 'people' as possible to use as experimental materials, a kind of free, legal, and human-identical experimental material that was exceedingly difficult to find.

Especially since... these people bore an uncanny resemblance to Chen Miao.

"Heh heh."

Zhang Wanlin couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, hardly daring to imagine how thrilling it would be inside to torment these people who looked just like Chen Miao. His grandfather from the Zhang Family had given him control of Beifeng Pharma Group quite early on.

Even though it had been given to him,

he was just the largest shareholder, not the absolute one, he couldn't use the strength of Beifeng Pharma Group to deal with Chen Miao, the other shareholders wouldn't agree, their only goal was to make money.

Though he was the one in charge of the company, that didn't mean the company was his.

That was entirely a different concept.

Not the same thing at all.

But that was before, just now, Chen Miao had killed both the Chief and Deputy Chief of the Fengtian City Events Bureau, whom the Zhang Family had planted, and also killed his cousin who was a 'Magician' in the secret realm, solidifying complete enmity with the Zhang Family.

All he had to do was report these matters, and the Zhang Family would take action against Chen Miao.

Though he hadn't confronted Chen Miao and probably couldn't defeat him, the Zhang Family had countless capable people, many of whom were stronger than Chen Miao. After all, no matter how strong Chen Miao was, he was just a Supernatural of no more than level 20.

And just then—

Mayor Zhang once again spoke anxiously, "The people you mentioned haven't arrived yet, but the evolution speed of these individuals is too fast. Do you see that person? The one first infected by Chen Miao—now he has a Gatling gun floating in mid-air around him."

"These people are truly converging towards Chen Miao."

"If we don't contain this situation quickly, it will become very difficult to handle later on."

"Let me tell you, Mayor Zhang,"

Zhang Wanlin started to speak with a somewhat unfriendly expression, "I think you might have been scared by Chen Miao and lost your own judgment. Right now, this random event has no set rules at all; everything is based on speculation."

"You actually believe what Chen Miao said, that these people will eventually become like him, possessing the same strength as him?"

"If you really believe that,"

"then the solution is simple. You yourself just stare at one of them for a few seconds, let yourself get infected, right? That way, at the very least, if all of them become Chen Miao, there will still be you."

"Or else, get some ordinary people to come over for infection, couldn't that solve the problem?"

"Moreover..."

Zhang Wanlin's eyes narrowed slightly as he whispered, "I actually think, even if these people turn into Chen Miao's likeness, it doesn't mean they posses Chen Miao's strength. Otherwise, why hasn't that one with Chen Miao's Gatling gun fired yet?"

"That floating Gatling gun."

"What does that signify?"

"It suggests that they can merely take on the same appearance, and don't truly have Chen Miao's power. On the contrary, I think this might be some kind of curse."

"If we kill these people who look like Chen Miao, perhaps Chen Miao himself will die or suffer grave injuries. At the very least, even if the worst comes to pass, won't Fengtian City still have missiles as a last resort?"

...

Chen Miao was standing far too away, and even with the enhanced abilities of a Gunman's passive skill, he couldn't see that the first infected person now had a Gatling gun.

The distance was simply too great.

Banking on the Gunman's passive ability, he could still vaguely make out some things, while Hungry Monkey and the others couldn't see anything at all.

If he had seen this scene, he wouldn't be so calm right now.

The reason was simple.

The Gatling gun wasn't in his backpack; it was in his Nothingness Space. What was Nothingness Space? It was his trump card.

The Gatling gun had been replicated.

This meant that all six hundred thousand Chen Miaos would possess his trump card, which was a terrifying thought. The reason he was able to develop so quickly was largely due to that trump card.

And now these people all had it, which was simply horrific to contemplate.

The mere thought of that scene was frightening.

"Why has there been no reaction for so long?"

Confused, Hungry Monkey stood on the edge of the cliff and looked toward the distant figures, "Could it be that we're overthinking this? They don't seem to be too far from Fengtian City."
