Li Yi was now on his way to the Hope Building.
However, a large group of people had gathered behind him, all local gang members. Stirred by Li Yi's speech, they followed him, shouting to storm into the Hope Building to claim their share of the genetic potion and become powerful genetic warriors. As these people pressed on, an increasing number of city residents joined Li Yi's cause.
These people had no reason to stay behind, merely struggling to survive and desperate for a change from their miserable lives, always waiting for a chance.
Now, seeing a glimmer of hope, they took to the streets spontaneously and joined the swelling ranks.
As Li Yi led them through the streets littered with debris, the entire street seemed to ignite. When Li Yi led them through half the city, half of Philadelphia was cheering and shouting, even people living in the sewers came out, drawn by the immense noise.
The streets were packed with people, densely packed.
