Chapter 308 - The Whole World Knows

The Channel Five team was a news team that was local to Slough. Due to the sudden emergence of the crazed Altered, the broadcast studio had sent an emergency broadcast to all the town’s citizens, informing them about what was happening over their phones.

Of course, with the amount of areas that had been attacked at once, and with how many had died it was something that they had to do, otherwise more lives would have been lost.

However, now that their questioning was done, it was time for her higher ups to decide what to do with her footage that had been passed on. Whether it would stay local news or be shared with the world. Kate Dar didn’t have much hope originally, feeling that whoever was behind this type of experiment surely would have a large enough backing to shut it down.

There had been small articles published by indie news reporters and journalists that weren’t too flattering for those in the higher tier cities. As a consequence, they had straight up been told to delete the whole thing off the face of the earth, often times followed by a ‘correction’ article or other news outlets would start to suppress them to the point they became forgotten. It wasn’t rare for those journalists to stop their line of work altogether, after realising that their dream work wasn’t as rosey as they had come to believe.

The only silver lining about this event was that she had heard that a local live streamer by the name of Scotty had recorded the events and that his channel had exploded. His live stream had been accessed by many outside of Slough. What’s more, some citizens of Slough had also made videos and taken pictures, which they had started sharing online.

As quick as one video could be taken down, more were uploaded, and the netizens who saw it made sure to make copies. This event started to grow into a matter that the whole world was going to see. Kate’s higher ups seemed to have come to the same conclusion, that it would be impossible to suppress it, so the broadcast opted to capitalise on it by sending their footage to broadcast stations in all the different tier cities.

Footage spread across the country not only of the strange crazed Altered but also the fight between Kirk, an up-and-coming star in the AFC, with a Wolf Altered.

Currently sitting in a sauna room that was far too hot for a regular human to handle was a red haired man. He had no clothes on and just continued to stare at the ceiling. his body wasn’t sweating one bit despite the extreme heat. The water vapour in the air was sizzling the moment it touched him, as if his body was made out of hot coals.

‘Well, I never expected them to use the test syringe in such a manner.’ Sin thought to himself. ‘They should have just used the entire thing on one person. Honestly, I don't know whether to call this development a good or bad thing.

‘At least I won't have to go to that shithole again, but who knows what development this might bring... Will the status finally shift?’ Sin smiled.

Sin wasn’t the only King in charge of a Tier-1 city that had seen the video. Inside a white lab, where several workers were pacing up and down, there was one female that was standing on top of a balcony staring down and looking at all her workers.

‘I can’t believe our package never made it out of that place.’ The woman thought. ‘Worse yet, it looks like someone has already got their hands on it as well. How did they know? … No, that doesn’t matter now, the problem is that they all know now! It looks like we might have a little rat in our group.

‘Before we continue on with the development, we have to find out who it was!’

The situation attracted some attention from outside the country as well. However, the public wasn’t too invested in the news. The majority didn’t care about what was happening in a foreign land, and thought of it as nothing but an experiment that had perhaps gone too far in the race to create superior Altered. Similar things had occurred in their countries before, leading to far deadlier outcomes.

After all, each country had their own backed government funded institutions as well as private ones working around the clock to be the one to deliver the next generation of Altered. Since the No Lethal Weapons Act agreed upon by the world, the Altered were now the way of showing off their country’s strength.

The amount of Altered a country had was important, but their individual strength even more so. If anything, the only debate other countries had surrounding that event was just how strong was this Wolf Altered that they had seen.

And yet, there was one person, or more specifically one group of people, who had been watching the news, having seen something they had never expected to see. Their hands clenched around the armrest in the chair they were sitting in, so tightly that the wood fibres inside started to snap.

“What on earth is happening? What the hell are these people doing?!” The man screamed at the top of his voice, his eyes glowing red in the darkness, and standing next to him, there was one with blue eyes.

“There must have been another bloodline still alive, it's the only thing that makes sense based on what we are seeing right now.” The blue-eyed man answered.

“Another Bloodline should be impossible!” The red eyed yelled so loud that the TV screen they had watched the report on had vibrated and fell over backwards from the stand it was on. Falling over and breaking.

“If there is another one, you know what this means and has always meant.” The man said.

“We’ll start searching for him. I can only hope we’ll find him before it's too late.”
