After dinner, Zhou Pin washed the dishes as usual, while Xu Lin, having nothing to do, continued browsing the Voice of the Base, and then discovered that someone had leaked information again.
Breaking news! The base may not be able to accommodate the survivors, and they are preparing to flee!
The attached image shows vehicles transporting goods out of the base.
This time, something erupted below.
"The base made the survivors grow crops and raise poultry and livestock, but they didn't give us a single grain. We even had to secretly transport it away ourselves!"
He forgot that working at the base was paid.
"We live in the most dilapidated houses, eat the worst food, and do the hardest work, while the upper class lives in mansions, eats delicacies, and sits back and enjoys themselves."
...
There were many complaints below, and the emotions were quite intense at one point.
It's obvious that the person who posted the article is trying to guide public opinion, and their purpose is self-evident.
"I think it will be within the next day or two," Xu Lin said.
"Have you packed everything?" Zhou Pin asked.
"Have you collected everything that needs to be collected? Is the power grid ready?" Xu Lin asked.
"There are no blind spots, and the monitoring system is also working properly."
Another day passed, and suddenly a fire was seen on the horizon, seemingly indicating that the base's office building was on fire. Since it's dark from 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM every night, the rioters chose this time to set fires for convenience.
Xu Lin stood at the window for a while and vaguely heard sounds of fighting, but it was all an illusion. Zhou Pin had already replaced the windows in the house with triple-layered bulletproof glass, so the sound insulation was still very good.
Behind the office building were multi-story buildings, and then the villa area. So when the office building was attacked, the multi-story buildings were the first to be affected. At this moment, Zheng Mingjia and Dr. Dai were extremely grateful that they had moved.
Zheng Ming: Luckily we moved, otherwise our house would definitely have been robbed.
Wang Jing: Wouldn't robbers first target villa areas?
Xu Lin was also pondering this question. If the goal was to seize food, shouldn't they rob the villa district? Those are all wealthy people. That would be a power struggle, most likely stemming from unequal distribution of benefits among the upper echelons, with one side stirring up trouble.
No one answered Wang Jing's question, and no one spoke in the group anymore. By the time the fire was extinguished, it was already 5 a.m. the next day. Although the fire was out, thick smoke continued to rise, and the base's fire brigade was checking one by one for any open flames.
The base was short-staffed, so they called Zheng Ming to help. Zheng Ming thought that the hit movie was over, and he could still gather information by going there, so he agreed.
At 8 p.m., Zheng Ming sent a message in the group.
Zheng Ming: The office building was burned down and unusable, and several multi-story residential buildings were also affected. Luckily, we moved.
Sun Wei: What kind of work are you in charge of over there?
Zheng Ming: Taking stock of the damage, it was scorched by smoke and fire.
Zhou Pin: Have you caught the culprit?
Zheng Ming: It is said that several people have been arrested, and an announcement may be made on the base's voice channel.
The following morning, the voice of the base indeed issued a statement, saying only that the three had incited public sentiment online and caused great damage to the base through arson, murder, and looting, and were sentenced to death.
When asked about their origins, they were simply told they came from a slum. A little thought revealed this to be odd; how could people from a slum have communication devices? Someone so organized and influential would have moved out of the slum long ago. But no one said anything more; they simply followed orders.
This time, they were lucky that the villa area wasn't affected, but they didn't know if they would be so lucky next time, so Xu Lin had to think about the future.
"This might just be an appetizer; the conflicts will only escalate further, and we need to figure out a way out," Xu Lin said.
