Chapter 128: Those trapped in the Tuttle Building are all high-ranking officials and politicians fro
Inside the Tuttle Building, below the 80th floor, things were already in chaos.
The powerful people at the bottom of society are in constant fear, always feeling that the people of Red Star downstairs will rush in at any time.
Most of the officials and dignitaries on the ground floor of the Tuttle Building began to have ulterior motives.
Some of them took out their limited supplies or the funds in their accounts and traded them with ordinary staff. They changed into ordinary staff uniforms, disguised themselves as ordinary staff, and then together with these low-level staff, tried to leave the Tuttle Building at nightfall and blend in with the hungry crowd.
As long as they successfully integrate into the crowd, the lives of these low-level officials and politicians can be saved.
They already knew what would happen to the King of Red Star.
Fuling and Chi Huan, who were trapped on the 98th floor and were not allowed to step out of their activity area, began to prepare to escape from Tattle at any time after discovering that the optical computer could not send or receive signals.
As time passed, the seriousness of the situation downstairs in Tuttle was affecting the upper floors.
The ordinary staff had been trapped for five days, unable to leave Tuttle Tower. They had no shelter or adequate food. The more compassionate of the higher-ups living in Tuttle Tower would pool their supplies and distribute them evenly to each staff member. However, the majority chose to close their own doors, locking the starving staff out and ignoring their pleas.
Gradually, the news spread that some low-level officials had used their assets to exchange for the same uniforms as ordinary employees and successfully escaped from the Tuttle Building.
The military stood in full force beneath Tuttle Tower. Every day, many officers, dressed in the uniforms of ordinary Tuttle Tower staff, attempted to blend in with the crowd. The military's orders were simply to defend against civilians storming the Tuttle Tower. The soldiers were also aware of Tuttle Tower's unique characteristics: its own independent defense system and rigorous firepower deployment. It was already a complete fortress.
Their defense here is a deterrent to the people of Red Star. As long as the people do not rush into the Tuttle Building, they will not be automatically identified and killed by the Tuttle Building's protection system.
The soldiers understood that the order was to defend Tuttle Building, but what they really wanted to do was to defend this impulsive and collapsed civilian population.
Faced with the senior officials who voluntarily left Tuttle, the soldiers remained expressionless, neither trying to stop them nor trying to persuade them. They were completely indifferent and allowed them to leave the military's protection circle.
then.
The soldiers watched as the angry, hungry crowd engulfed the official.
The civilians didn't attack the soldiers because they still had a shred of sanity left in them. They simply stared at the door of the Tuttle Building behind them with bloodshot eyes.
People began to fall one after another. With each fall, the hoarse cries of loved ones and the numb gazes of those around them echoed. People would help, one by one, slowly lifting the dying lives from the crowd and carrying them out of the swamped sea of bodies.
Some soldiers had red eyes, but no tears.
They held their position for days without a single drop of water. These soldiers, along with the vast crowds of people on the other side, were fighting for their lives. Only by enduring could they survive. If they couldn't, they would perish in this absurd chaos.
How did Fuling and Chi Huan leave Tuttle Building?
Fuling and Chi Huan realized something was amiss and were about to flee when Fuling approached the officer in charge of them and proposed a meeting with Marshal Bradley. Fuling explained that they hadn't been in contact with their superiors for so long that they feared they might arouse suspicion and mistrust, affecting their cooperation. Therefore, Bradley either had to meet with them and explain the situation in person, or they could pretend they hadn't been there and that their superiors would reassign personnel to the meeting later.
The staff member's attitude was very bad. They just said they understood and would inform the Marshal. Then they warned the two men again, asking them to behave themselves and not to cause unnecessary trouble to Marshal Bradley at this chaotic time.
Fuling narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the back of the staff member who was gradually walking away.
Chi Huan approached Fuling and lowered his voice, saying, "His complexion isn't looking too good either, and his lips are chapped. It's obvious that his living conditions these days are similar to ours, or rather, not much better than ours."
Fuling didn't say anything, just waited until the staff member's back completely disappeared around the corner. She held Chi Huan's hand, looked straight ahead, and said in a low voice, "Let's go back to the bedroom first."
When the two returned to their temporary bedroom, Fuling closed the door, took off the light computer on her wrist, placed it on the small table in the room, and played a very noisy movie.
The movie screen and sound appeared. Fuling walked in front of Chi Huan, hugged Chi Huan's waist, and looked at Chi Huan tenderly.
Chi Huan's eyes flashed, and he quickly took off Fuling's coat and threw it on the ground.
Chi Huan picked up Fuling by the waist, threw her onto the bed, and then pounced on her.
Fuling giggled, put one arm around Chi Huan's back, and with the other hand pulled the untied quilt to barely cover the two of them.
The two of them rolled around, hugged each other eagerly, and kissed each other over and over in bed. Slowly, they both crawled into the quilt, covered tightly by it.
The quilt kept shaking, and from time to time a hand or a foot would appear, but would quickly retract.
After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, the bulge under the quilt calmed down.
The part of the bed where the quilt was not covering revealed some of the two people's black hair. They looked like they were sleeping in each other's arms. They were hugging each other tightly, panting, and whispering.
There was no desire in Fuling's eyes, only calmness and brilliance.
She put her head close to Chi Huan's ear and whispered, "Something must have happened on Red Star that we don't know about. The cleaning staff and the staff who took care of us said a few words today. I vaguely heard a few words, 'chaos', 'the king is dead', 'the army', and 'all over the place'."
Fuling swallowed her saliva. Her mouth was a little dry. She and Chi Huan had almost used up all their food reserves these days, but they had no water left. She was very thirsty.
"These few words clearly indicate that Red Planet is in chaos, even affecting Tuttle Tower. The military has already intervened. The last word 'all human', to me, means that Red Planet is currently experiencing civil unrest, and the current situation at Tuttle Tower may be due to this civil unrest."
Chi Huan stared at Fu Ling's eyes, his eyes flashing. Although his face was paralyzed, he was not paralyzed. He was still a normal man. Although he had the experience of acting out passionate scenes with his partner in order to roll into the quilt before, he always found it difficult to endure.
Fuling noticed that Chi Huan seemed to be distracted, so she pinched Chi Huan hard with her fingers.
Chi Huan felt pain on his waist from being pinched by Fuling, and his whole body stiffened. He quickly made a slight move to retreat.
Fuling narrowed her eyes, stared at Chi Huan, and moved closer, lowering her voice and asking, "Why are you hiding?"
