Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start Novel - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Outbreak

“I’m a scientist, too! I can also prove that everything in those articles is true! We can’t give the space cannon to them!”

“Well… I don’t know anything about it, but I think we should listen to the scientists. Let’s not give it to them!”

“I don’t think we should give it to them either. It’s the space cannon! Use your head! It has destroyed that super meteorite! I’m not a scientist, but I know the technology in such a weapon has to be formidable! We can’t hand it out and turn it into a weapon against us!”

“What if Atlantis finds a way to turn it into a weapon to attack the land? We’ll be finished! We can’t let them have it!”

…

“Screw you! Why can’t we give it away? More people are going to die! Don’t you know that?”

“We’re talking about 600 million lives! No one can make that kind of a decision! We have to give them the space cannon!”

“Yes, we must! My whole family has turned into fishmen. You’ll have to answer to me if anything happens to them!”

“Can’t we solve it like civilized people? Give them the space cannon, and they’ll set us free. It’s a win-win situation! If Mr. Soan could build one space cannon, surely, he could build a second and even a third one. Why does it matter that Atlantis has this one?”

“That’s right. Maybe we can be friends with Atlantis. This conflict may lead to something good!”

…

Everybody was taking sides, and very few people remained neutral.

More fishmen had joined the riot. If one didn’t pick a side, they would be attacked by both sides.

One after another, riot videos were posted online, terrifying the viewers.

Ark-3 of Winland was anchored in a desert. It was one of the few arks that didn’t have any fishman. After gravity was restored, everybody was elated and felt much relieved.

They left the ark, walked around, and used their phone to get online.

…

“The Moonian network is amazing! We’re in such a remote area, but we’re still covered!” A man laughed.

“That’s right! Mr. Soan is so talented!”

“Which side do you think is telling the truth? Atlantis or Mr. Soan?” a woman asked.

A chubby man immediately said, “Why are you even asking? Of course, it’s Mr. Soan! Don’t be silly! Look at everything he has done for us. Why would he go through so much trouble just to kill us? If you ask me, he should have annihilated Neige to set an example. That way, no one would dare question Mr. Soan again. However, he didn’t do that!”

Another person chimed in, “I totally agree with you. Atlantis is a big fraud! If you believe in them, they’ll turn on you when you least expect it. Didn’t Mr. Soan tell us not to kneel in the ocean all along? Some people just wouldn’t listen! Look what happened to those fools! We don’t have any fishmen aboard. How nice!”

“That’s so true! I’m on Mr. Soan’s side! I’ll leave a comment for him to show some support! We can’t give away the space cannon! If Atlantis enters the sixth age, nothing can stop them!”

“I’ll post a comment, too!”

They chatted happily while posting comments online. Just then, they noticed some movements in the distance. Over a dozen people were running toward them.

“Run! Run! The fishmen are coming! They’ve lost their minds!”

Hearing the noise, everybody put away their phones and looked into the distance. A little while later, they saw a large group of people appearing on the horizon.

They were the fishmen!

They ran insanely fast and reminded one of the zombies in the movies. Although they had fins and fish tails, they moved much faster than ordinary humans.

They soon caught up with some ordinary people and started biting them.

“WTF?”

“Holy shit!”

“Run! Go back to the ark!”

“OMG! Are those fishmen, too?”

When they looked around, they saw that fishmen were running toward them from all directions.

One fishman climbed onto a rock and shouted, “Guys! Let’s take them down! We can’t be suffering alone! We must let these people know how it feels! If everybody becomes a fishman, Himmel Soan has to hand over the space cannon!”

“Bite them! You take the men, and we’ll take the women!”

“Go to hell! I’ll take the women!”

…

Dust filled the air as the fishmen charged at the ordinary people.

“Get back to the ark! Run!”

The ordinary people ran toward the ark in fright. However, the ark was so big. Each ark could fit hundreds of thousands to millions of people. From afar, the ark looked like a mountain. It took forever to open the door. And it took even longer to close it.

The door was slowly closing, and some of the ordinary people would be shut outside. However, it was too late.

Many fishmen had charged into the ark and started attacking the first person they came across. They weren’t trying to keep anybody but only intended to bite them.

However, there were so many people, and things could easily get out of control.

If somebody tripped, the falling would lead to a stampede. The fishmen might stab someone in the wrong place and accidentally kill them.

“Shit! We have to fight back!”

“Take up your weapons!”

“Let women and children go inside. Guys, find a weapon and follow me! I’d rather die than become a fishman!”

“Fight! Fight to the death!”

…

Some people reacted quickly and formed an army to defend the ordinary people in the ark.

Although the fishmen didn’t intend to kill anybody, the ordinary people wouldn’t hesitate to kill their enemies. The fishmen wouldn’t back away, and violence was the only way out.

The ordinary people had to fight with all their strength to keep the fishmen away.

Inevitably, it would lead to killing them.

Somebody cracked a fishman’s head open with a stick.

The fishmen were infuriated by the loss of lives.

They didn’t want to kill anybody, but the ordinary people were killing them, so they had to retaliate.

“Guys, forget about holding back! Let’s bite them to death!”
