Chapter 1149 - 586: 'Hope' and 'Future'_3
This cheap badge can be obtained by volunteering at the church for more than five hours.
Moreover, the conditions are extremely relaxed; even repairing one's roof in response to the church group's call to action counts. Cooking large quantities of food in a relief soup kitchen is also acceptable.
To earn such a badge, at the very least, one must have extended a small helping hand to others.
Nowadays, it can even benefit family members, up to three people.
With all his current efforts, all Ji Jue can do is this much, which is a mere drop in the bucket compared to the vast number of refugees outside.
Naturally, security is rapidly deteriorating.
Even though there are layers of checkpoints and barbed wire delineating the city, within the city, peace and prosperity still seem prevalent. However, there are always "escapees" sneaking in, ruining the mood of those leisurely enjoying flowers and moonlight.
Even with 24-hour vigilance, malicious incidents frequently occur.
Repercussions have begun to appear.
With the death of the typhoon Disaster Beast, the pollution it left behind continuously seeps into this land teeming with Mutated Aura, imperceptibly twisting the environment.
In the coming days, even if an insect emerges from this soil, it could mutate into a Mutant species... not to mention the many mutated beasts or Disaster Beasts.
Under various extreme conditions, desperate people, apart from fighting to the death, can only choose to blow up together with everyone else.
In the broadcasts, extremist attacks have become increasingly frequent.
Even the central police station in Tower City was hit by a parcel bomb attack; during this time, the demand for safety and stability is unprecedentedly high.
As a result, by a twist of fate… the police edition Peacekeeping Cat has completely opened up sales and has appeared in streets and alleys.
As for those fancy gadgets like sniffer dogs and drones, whether they are useful or not becomes clear once used.
After experiencing the security brought by the intelligent peacekeeping machine guards on alert for all hazards 24 hours a day, the patrol officers have found it impossible to go back.
After all, living in constant fear of being randomly attacked or facing a self-destructing wire setup is not something many can endure.
Having done nothing, Sea Tide Military Industry inexplicably became the biggest winner of this disaster.
Amid increasing demand, Old Gou transformed from an insignificant figure into a highly sought-after individual, with dignitaries lining up to place orders.
The makeshift presidential residence purchased over a hundred units in one go, facing horrifying markup prices from military department procurements without bargaining and even trying to pay more!
Perhaps they are truly frightened.
On TV and radio broadcasts, His Excellency the President worked tirelessly day and night concerning national affairs, becoming severely ill; whether the situation improved or not was another matter entirely.
The more chaotic it is outside the city, the more solemn it becomes inside the city.
To the extent that there is a guard every three steps and a checkpoint every five.
Even the police, usually sitting idle and drawing salaries, are now tirelessly working under direct orders and reprimands from their superiors, dealing with the rampant bloodshed within the city.
And yet, two days later, less than one-fifth of the backlogged cases were documented.
With too many troublesome issues unresolved, work must continue nevertheless.
Responding to a neighbor's call for police assistance, a rookie officer, who hadn't had a good night's sleep in days, went to the crime scene, pinched his nose, snapped a few random photos in the stench-filled villa, completed the procedure, and recorded the case as a massacre.
Proper investigation and search remained far in the future.
Throughout, the Peacekeeping Cat, assisting by standing in the corner, quietly stared at the bloody chaos, its warning lights silently flashing.
Retrofitted cameras gradually revealed the aura of the Fly King's plague, so dense it darkened the surroundings in layers at the scene.

At this moment, Ji Jue, debugging Zanlu in the workshop, paused for a moment. The phone screen on the nearby table suddenly lit up.
[The Wolf is Coming].
