Chapter 216 Thunder Over Campbell
When the stars arrived, thunder fell.
No president came out to greet them.
No citizens lined the streets in welcome.
Under their officers’ orders, soldiers poured into senior officials’ homes, underground black markets. hospitals, churches, childcare centers, and slums.
Any place that might be hiding rot was swept by the military with terrifying speed.
Officials who had taken bribes were jailed.
Black markets were smashed.
Hospital staff involved in organ trafficking were arrested one by one.
Even local thugs in the slums were kicked aside so hard they cried for mercy.

While every side was stunned by the move and wondering whether the Second Legion had lost its mind, a announcement suddenly spread across the entire network.
“The psychic treatment divisions of the Second and Third Legions will restart treatment for all parasitized patients on Campbell tomorrow under Division Chief Dr. Serena Rhodes.”

Helen coughed softly.
His face had already been pale. Against his flowing golden hair, it looked even more bloodless and fragile
