Xia Xiu stood on the wide steps of the New York Federal Savings Bank, his golden eyes keenly observing the protesters gathered in front of him.

Although these protesters were united in a common cause, he soon noticed the different groups within them, each group's members displaying varying degrees and types of equine aberrations that made them stand out.

The first group is mainly composed of members with low distortion rate. Most people's distortion characteristics are not obvious, limited to slight pony ears or small pony tails. They seem to be a bit drifting with the crowd, and they can obviously feel that other groups have no regard for them.

There is no rejection; the members of the second group have a distortion rate in the medium range, and their characteristics are more obvious, including longer ponytails and more developed lower limb muscles. This group of people appears to be more active in the protest, and their banners

The special abilities and social potential of "pseudo-humans" are emphasized.

The third group is composed of members with a high deformation rate. Their lower bodies almost completely exhibit equine characteristics, including horse hooves and longer legs, which restricts their movement. At this moment, they are working with the Federal Reserve Bank

The members of the security department were pushing each other; the members of the last group were severely deformed, and their deformed equine features were extremely serious. Four horse hooves had appeared on their lower bodies, and their bodies were covered with hair, and even their hands had hoof-like features.

Characteristically, they, like the third group, are in conflict with public officials at the Federal Reserve Bank.

"Canceling the Triple Crown!!!"

"Canceling the Triple Crown!!!"

"Canceling the Triple Crown!!!"

Dong dong dong——

On the broad front steps of the New York Federal Savings Bank, the situation was escalating rapidly.

Members of the third and fourth types of groups, whose distortions are closer to complete equine forms, are now trying to attack the bank's door with more violent means.

Some members of these groups act with a clear sense of desperation and intense emotion due to the physical limitations and pain caused by their aberrations.

“Reject financial objectification of infected people!”

"You damn financial capital, you use your evil finance to systematically exploit marginalized groups. You package the suffering of infected people into a normal and equal sports activity, but in fact you are just taking advantage of the infected people's biological activities.

Characteristics, turning infected people into entertainment and treating them differently, you are essentially discriminating against us!!!"

Dong dong dong——

The violent crash echoed in the square in front of the New York Federal Savings Bank.

Some protesters, especially those members of the third and fourth groups with more serious deformities, are using their deformed hooves to violently hit the protective lines of the Federal Reserve Police. Every hit is filled with their anger and despair.

The sound erupted into chaotic drum beats in the cold air.

"You cold-blooded guys!" A protester with a high distortion rate shouted loudly during the collision, "You are just the lackeys of the powerful people in the New Alliance!"

As emotions rose, the protesters' words became more violent:

"What we want is dignity and equality, not to be treated like this by you!"

Another voice joined the chorus of protest, filled with dissatisfaction with the status quo and a desire for change.

Faced with this fierce impact, the Federal Reserve Police quickly deployed, wearing full-body riot gear, holding riot shields and other riot equipment, forming a solid line of defense in front of the bank.

The reserve police officers have stern expressions and alert eyes. While maintaining order, they must also deal with the protesters' emotions and potential violence.

A police captain issued a warning to the oncoming crowd through a loudspeaker:

"This is a Federal Savings Bank and is a federally protected landmark. We understand and respect your right to demonstrate peacefully, but any violence will be sanctioned by New Alliance laws. Please stop storming immediately and remain peaceful, otherwise we will take necessary measures

Measures to protect public safety and property.”

His voice echoed off the bank's marble facade as he tried to calm the agitated protesters.

Federal police stood ready for any possible escalation of conflict. Their riot shields were locked together to form a human wall, while other officers armed with tear gas and less-lethal weapons backed up in the rear, just in case.

.

"One last warning, evacuate here quickly, don't force us to upgrade the critical level, and use thaumaturgy and non-violent non-cooperation methods to maintain stability!"

The police captain's voice has turned cold unconsciously. He has already made enough concessions to these [pseudo-human] groups. If it weren't for the new alliance regulations and nearby financial surveillance, he would have drawn his gun in accordance with the tradition of the previous federal police.

Just shoot.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The protesters responded with actions, and in a decisive and fierce way.

The first patient with a high deformation rate showed strong horse-like characteristics in his lower body, and his four hooves were hard and powerful.

He charged through the crowd, directly attacking the Federal Reserve police lines.

Peng——

The patient's horseshoe was as hard as steel. When his hoof landed on the blast shield in the hands of the policeman in the front row, the strong impact caused obvious cracks in the blast shield.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

He kept stamping, like a horse trampling grass, and each step made the cracks in the explosion shield deepen and made a dull sound.

The shoe hit the explosion-proof shield, making a deafening clang.

At the impact point, a series of spider web-like cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the explosion-proof shield. The cracks spread rapidly, and the entire shield surface seemed to be shattered at any time.

Click——

The conflict finally reached a boiling point.

Under the continuous impact and pressure, the anti-riot shield line was broken, and part of the crowd of protesters poured into the defense line like a flood.

"Get in there!!!"

Federal Reserve Bank officials and police, faced with extreme pressure and challenges, decided to take more drastic measures to control the situation.

The police officers in the front row were trampled under the strong breakthrough of the protesters. Some police officers fell to the ground and were injured. The situation seemed chaotic and disorderly for a time.

"Start non-violent non-cooperation to maintain stability!"

The police in the back row responded quickly and began to release tear gas. A pungent smell quickly filled the air, and large amounts of smoke spread among the crowd, causing the protesters to be hindered. Many people began to choke, and tears and runny noses flowed down.

A pungent smell quickly filled the air, and the smoke quickly spread among the crowd, as if a thick fog belt enveloped the entire scene.

Phew~

When tear gas spreads, the thick smell instantly fills the air, and the stinging irritation is impossible to ignore.

The protesters' eyes immediately began to burn, and an irritating liquid spread painfully in their eyes, as if fire was burning in their eye sockets.

"My eyes..."

Their eyes began to shed tears unconsciously, and the tears stung the skin around their eyes like hot flames, unable to stop.

"Cough cough cough~"

At the same time, the tear gas also stimulated the protesters' respiratory systems. Their throats instantly felt unbearably hot, as if there were countless torches burning in their throats. They coughed one after another, and every cough was accompanied by a sharp pain.

It hurt as if my lungs were being swallowed by fire.

As time goes by, breathing becomes more and more difficult, and their chests seem to be pinched tightly by an invisible hand, making it impossible for them to breathe.

At this moment, the protesters were forced to stop advancing.

"Raise your gun and fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

At the same time, the reserve police officers who pulled down their protective masks began to use non-lethal weapons, rubber bullets and shock bombs in turn, and the bangs and bangs were heard.

These projectiles drew arcs in the air and accurately hit some protesters, causing them to fall to the ground in pain.

Attacks with rubber bullets and shock bombs are more direct and painful.

The rubber bullets were like severe whippings, each blow was painful, as if thousands of hot iron needles were piercing the skin.

The protesters' bodies were red and swollen, with bloody wounds leaving horrific marks on their skin. Bright red blood flowed along the wounds, intertwined with the pain of tear gas and difficulty breathing.

Buzz!!!!

The explosion of the shock bomb brought another kind of irresistible pain.

A loud noise tore through the air, making people's eardrums feel as if they were about to be shattered.

The protesters' ears were ringing, and waves of severe dizziness struck them, as if the whole world was shaking violently.

Their brains were instantly shocked to the point of going blank, their thoughts were confused, and they were unable to concentrate, as if they had been hit hard by a huge hammer.

Under this attack of tear gas, rubber bullets and shock bombs, the protesters' eyes, throats, skin and ears were filled with severe pain and despair, as if the whole world was against them, making them I can't breathe, I can't think, I can't bear it.

This double physical and mental torture made their protests more desperate, angrier, and more powerless.

As more police reinforcements arrived, well-trained Federal Reserve police gradually advanced, marching forward in neat rows holding riot shields.

The police reinforcements wearing sturdy protective equipment moved forward expressionlessly, as if they were ruthless robots. Their eyes were cold and firm, as if they had no emotion for the protesters.

In the process of suppressing the wave of protests, the police showed a high degree of organization and discipline. They cooperated tacitly and performed their tasks in an orderly manner.

"Keep charging!!!"

The leader who had led the charge and crushed the shield before used his horse body to charge and charge around, his actions full of anger and determination.

Tap tap tap tap——

The skin of the odd-legged patients following the chargers glowed with thaumaturgic light, and then the horses' hooves suddenly stamped on the ground, causing the ground to tremble and dust to fly, as if they were stepping on the ground to create cracks.

Some protesters began to perform thaumaturgy, and most of the protesters' thaumaturgy was aimed at strengthening endurance and defense.
To be continued...
