Chapter 1040 - Gunshots in Bava (1/2)

Central Bava, a small town on the Isle River.

This small town with barely any foreigners throughout the year had people from Europe and around the world gathered here. They came from different countries and from different backgrounds. But at this moment they were wearing uniform T-shirts and holding slogans with the same central idea and surrounding a research institute shouting in different languages.

“Open the Institute!”

“Stop the inhuman experiment immediately!”

“Release all human subjects! Release experimental details!”

“…”

To maintain order, the state government had to pull police from elsewhere to support the local police and put up yellow warning tape around the institute. The color seal reminded the angry protestors that it was private property.

However, the protestors did not buy the idea at all. The uncooperative attitude of the institute made them feel more and more suspicious. The police’s partiality made them sense the oddity in this situation more. They set up tents on the road outside the institute and broadcasted their protests with their mobile phones.

More and more social justice warriors gathered there to join the protest.

As the protest intensified, the director of the institute couldn’t remain calm anymore.

In order to calm people’s anger, he risked his life, used a speaker, and began to speak to the crowd behind the wall.

“…all of our research is within the framework of the law, and any rumors about the Institute researching brainwashing on human experiments are foolish and absurd…Fu*k!”

However, before he could finish, a large brick the size of a fist flew out from the crowd. A young man with a baseball cap gave him a middle finger. Within two seconds, the young man was arrested by a group of police swarming him and pushed him to a police car.

When the young man was detained, the police and the crowd clashed. The shouting and pushing made the scene extremely chaotic and the peaceful demonstration evolved into a violent conflict. Garbage and bricks were thrown over the wall and some landed on police and police cars.

Carefully avoiding the bricks, the director of the institute evacuated behind the explosion-proof shield.

“Fu*k! Are these people crazy?”

Once back in the institute, the director named Carol cursed and slammed the speaker on the ground.

In his heart, he already cursed Steven countless times. Because of that nobody’s betrayal, the entire 7th Institute was pulled into the center of a massive scandal.

“You should be glad that bricks are flying. I just found burning flask in the crowd. Although the guy hesitated and didn’t ignite it. I encountered this weapon in Iraq. If even a little bit touches you, you will turn into a piece of charcoal.” A mercenary joked as he put the explosion-proof shield aside.

Carol eyed the mercenary and grunted while fixing his messy collar.

“Look after your position, if you let the violent protesters in, you know what will happen. ”

“They can’t get in,” the mercenary shrugged and patted the pistol at his waist. “If they cross that door, we will shoot.”

Just as Carol walked into the institute, several vans were parked at a closed restaurant two blocks away. More than a dozen men wearing thick coats stepped out. They carried guitar cases or suitcases and hurried into the restaurant.

Almost at the same time, on a hillside one kilometer away, a canvas bag was thrown into a patch of tall grass filled with weeds. A young woman took off her sunglasses and removed the parts from the bag.
