EX03-7 Disconnected

>

Hearing Changyu's lyrics, a middle-aged man begins to take action. He slams into a Corrupted that passed by a Pulao soldier attempting to charge the crowd.

Middle-aged Man

~Else, wherefore would one walk the earth?~

The man tries his best to pin the Corrupted down, paying no heed to the Corrupted stabbing him in the chest.

Another member of the crowd rushes out. She picks up a rifle from one of the dead Pulao Crew and shoves the barrel in the Corrupted's mouth, then pulls the trigger.

Even after emptying the clip, she is still standing there with her finger on the trigger. A Pulao soldier comes up to her.

That's... enough.

The high-explosive rounds have long since obliterated the Corrupted's head, leaving nothing but bullet holes deep in the ground.

After hearing the Pulao soldier's words, she kneels down on the ground and weeps solemnly over the man's body.

He gave his life to stop a massacre...

With the theater performance over, the director takes Changyu and Laoyu onto the street to help the Pulao Crew organize the crowd of people.

Calm down, everyone. There's no cause for alarm. Walk this way.

We've repelled the monster's air raid. Please hurry up and retreat in an orderly manner.

Laoyu

Th-This way.

Thank you.

It's all right. This is our duty as members of the KCC.

Just as order is gradually being restored to the crowd, a loud noise is heard nearby.

Ol' Chen and Zhao, let's go and have a look. Everyone else, stay here to protect the people.

Pulao Crew

Roger!

...

Director, I'll go and have a look. I'm the fastest here. I should be of more use.

What?! No, wait...

But before the director could finish, Changyu disappears in a flash.

He's kindhearted, but it's too dangerous. I'll bring him back.

Oh, thank you then... If you wouldn't mind.
