129. Night of Revelry

Before he finished speaking, a heavy punch fiercely struck his face. The Frost-Plated glasses guy's spectacles flew off immediately. He staggered, and before he could steady himself, the outsider youth he was arguing with rushed up and kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground.

"What are you doing? You can't just hit people no matter what!"

"I'm hitting you ungrateful Frost-Plated bastards!"

"Ungrateful? Du Zexin is also a Frost-Plated man! You're the one who can't tell right from wrong, you bastard!"

"Screw you!"

As the fight escalated, it ignited the surrounding powder keg.

Calming down from the joy of escaping, the national conflicts and hostilities between the Frost-Plated and outsiders resurfaced.

Especially concerning the issue of Omega Energy—the Frost-Plated people, though having a large wealth gap, grew up in a capitalist environment, heavily self-centered and particularly concerned about their own gains and losses.

In their view, they didn't pay or beg Li Aozi to save them. Since Li Aozi chose to save them, he didn't expect a reward. Therefore, reclaiming what was originally theirs, the Omega Energy, was only natural.

Outsiders, on the other hand, though more fierce and selfish, were much simpler in their thoughts.

If you saved my life, there's nothing more to say. Forget about a reward, if you want me to die for you, even take a bullet, it's not impossible. In the outside world, nothing is more important than this. Friendship and loyalty are more important than contracts.

Moreover, in their eyes, Li Aozi, who could annihilate the bio-cyborg and the infamous Abyss Humanitarian Relief, freeing them from death and enslavement, was a living legend.

Some even picked up Li Aozi's scavenger coat. As one of the three great organizations of the outside world, the scavenger's image was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Instantly, Li Aozi became a hero in the hearts of outsiders. Some even claimed that Li Aozi was "the greatest outside world hero since the anaerobes."

The outsiders were not in the majority, and there were also elderly and women among them. On the Frost-Plated side, the former infected were mostly lower-class males, and in a fight, it wasn't clear who would have the upper hand.

Just moments ago, both sides were happily chatting and celebrating freedom, but quickly turned to confrontation and insults, with some even starting to fight. Some grabbed benches and pipes, gradually escalating into a full-blown brawl.

Li Mu, timid by nature, felt emboldened by the slogans shouted by the outsiders, gaining endless strength from the collective.

But he wasn't eyeing the Frost-Plated men; instead, he looked at the slightly plump Frost-Plated woman ahead of him, with her head hanging down, dressed thinly. Though not pretty, her mature body still exuded an enticing aura.

At this moment, the restroom door opened. The person inside, seeing their compatriot being beaten, immediately called out and rushed in, giving the outsiders a beating.

Li Mu licked his lips, approached the woman with her head down, and pressed closely against her. Thinking of Gina flirting with the Frost-Plated guys outside filled him with nameless anger.

Seizing the moment as the woman entered the restroom, he followed her in, locked the door, and pinned the Frost-Plated woman against the restroom wall, biting her shoulder and tearing off her thin clothes.

"Let me teach you Frost-Plated bastards a lesson!"

Unable to join his fellow outsiders in the fight, bullying a woman seemed like a consolation.
