Chapter 101 Chapter 101 I thought this traitor was...
I thought this traitor would be hard to catch.
Catching him is a matter of chance. A curfew is currently in effect in the Keya District, and soldiers are gradually closing the area to identify any remaining rebels. The bill submitted by Fansu will be passed today and implemented tomorrow. At that time, Keya District citizens who are deemed to be cleared will be able to apply for immigration on their own.
The traitor couldn't be sure what would happen after tomorrow. It just so happened that I had another "quarrel" with Cassina tonight, and my not-so-good image was well known in the organization.
Then he couldn't bear it any longer.
Cassina acted quickly and decisively. After catching the man, to prevent any complications, she used a pillow as a silencer and shot him to death.
"Aren't you afraid that there will be other people to pick you up?" I joked with a smile.
Kathryn threw away the pillow and said expressionlessly, "What do you think?"
I shrugged. "I'll have the warden come and sort it out. The charge was assassination, but you arrived and stopped him. All you know is that his remaining accomplices were heading to the ruins of the slums, but before you could interrogate them for more information, he grabbed a pistol and committed suicide."
"Okay." Cassina nodded.
Soon, the warden came over.
I don’t know if he believed what Cassina and I said, but my attitude towards him was, “As for the political struggle in Ascending City, just do your job obediently.”
The warden didn't dare to say anything. After asking the prison guards to clear the body out, he nodded and left.
Catherine and I looked at each other and both knew what was going to happen tomorrow.
On September 3, Keya District once again welcomed the morning sunshine.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the immigration law was officially implemented. In order to cooperate with the Keya District's operation to capture the remnants of the rebels, any citizen who passed the screening must pack up his luggage as soon as possible and take a special bus to the upper city.
The military zone will be responsible for the support.
In the military zone, the process of liquidating the rebel party in Baideng Bay has reached its climax, with new news coming in every minute.
But Baidengwan doesn’t really know nothing.
However, their trust in Carter forced Baidengwan to watch from the sidelines, allowing them to devote more energy. This was especially true as some of the rebels had also noticed the archipelago's location and were launching a counterattack near it.
Just like army ants, they are tirelessly trying to gnaw off a piece of Baideng Bay.
"Are you sure the signal tower is located here?" I asked Cassena holding the map of the no-man's land.
At that moment, she and I were sitting in an armored vehicle heading to the ruins of the slums. Outside the window, heavy trucks equipped with hot weapons were driving one after another.
Kasena nodded and pointed at several spots around the signal tower. "All soldiers, take the antidote and place time bombs at these three spots."
It was five in the afternoon, and the journey by car only took four hours, but getting off the bus and walking to the no-man's land from the slums took a full seven hours.
"What about the people in the no-man's land? Does the leader have any plans?"
Kasena said, "It's arranged that there will be another riot in the no-man's land at 8 o'clock tonight. After we arrive, we will intervene in the no-man's land under the pretext of suppressing the riot."
"...Haha, Lola Tini has been waiting for this day for over twenty years." I chuckled. "She's really worked hard."
Kasena didn't react much to my calling the leader's name directly, but just glanced at me with a calm look.
As time went by, I saw from the car window many citizens from Keya District carrying bags and getting on special transport vehicles.
The sun outside the window set completely, and I finally saw a vast expanse of white ruins in the distance.
I opened the communicator and saw the news from the military zone being refreshed again.
There is still an updated list of casualties and the territories that have been successfully recovered.
To my surprise, the news about the archipelago could no longer be suppressed and was completely exposed.
Although major media outlets have tried their best to delete relevant information and remove various videos, the quick-eyed and quick-handed masses still saved it as quickly as possible and spread it through secret channels.
I scrolled down and without refreshing the page, I could see dozens of comments.
At this point, Dutalia released another announcement video, cursing the shameless behavior of White Light Bay, claiming that White Light Bay's act of hiding in the archipelago was to use the people of the Nakya District and even the Ascendant City to take the blame.
After cursing Baideng Bay, Dutalia turned the topic to white ore and explained the effects of white ore to the citizens in plain language.
In the end, she acted heartbroken again, tearfully accusing Baidengwan of crimes, and even took out the video I had posted, crying and shouting at the camera.
"Sergeant Guchiga didn't commit suicide by confession. He was forced to take the blame for the mistake that was originally White Light Bay's fault! This should have been the responsibility of White Light Bay, but a soldier who was truly protecting the citizens was blamed! This is unfair!"
"In order to consolidate their rule, Baidengwan even used white ore on our soldiers. It was just to frame us and think about the troops!"
Something is brewing at a very fast pace today, as if it wants to roll up all the deposits of the past at once.
I got out of the car and quickly scanned the ruins.
At this point, the armored vehicle can no longer drive normally and heavy trucks are needed to clear obstacles in front.
The closer I got, the whiter my vision became.
A few months later, the slum looked cleaner than before the explosion.
It was a clean, tidy place, the kind that comes from having everything cleared out. Because everywhere you look is ruins, there's no concept of garbage.
There was a burst of gunfire coming from somewhere.
I was stuffed back into the armored vehicle by the quick-reacting Kasena, and could only watch the soldiers outside fighting against the remnants of the rebels.
It was an overwhelming confrontation. The rebels concentrated most of their energy on the islands, some stubbornly resisted in the military zone, and the remaining few returned to the ruins with important intelligence and other items.
Dutalia's voice was still playing on the communicator.
“All people are human beings, and all people are equal!”
"They enjoy the best resources, the best life, and the best environment, but once something goes wrong, you are held responsible. Why?"
"Loyal people bear the consequences of death, innocent people bear the pressure, but these vampires can return to the archipelago and continue to enjoy themselves after all the mistakes. Why?!"
"boom--"
A bomb carrying white ore exploded, ending this overwhelming confrontation.
Cassina put away his gun, returned to the car without looking back, and gave orders to the soldiers, "Keep moving forward and suppress the riot in the no-man's land!"
Heavy trucks clear obstacles in the front, while soldiers in the back ensure logistics.
Dutalia’s voice is still playing.
It is very difficult to clear the rubble after the explosion. Even with large trucks moving forward, the distance is still very long.
I was fiddling with my communicator when Kasena suddenly asked, "Bai Wuyin, what are you hiding?"
"What?" I continued to fiddle with the communicator without stopping, browsing the increasingly busy network.
Today, conflicts of varying sizes have arisen between the citizens of the Keya District who immigrated there and the local citizens of Shangxing City. There are obviously not enough houses to accommodate the citizens of the Keya District, so they can only borrow other vacant houses.
The people of Shangxing City had always disliked the country bumpkins, and when they learned that they had to give up their vacant houses to accommodate the immigrants, they were furious and directly called the public security bureau.
The busybodies uploaded the incident to social media, causing another online storm.
I was watching the fight with great interest, but the muzzle of the pistol was pressed against my temple.
Kasena's face was expressionless, "Bai Wuyin, what are you hiding?"
That’s a lot to say. I’m trying to figure out how to start.
Ahem, just kidding.
I put on an innocent face and asked, "What did you say?"
Kathryn: "The teacher found Ali. She had been missing since September 1st until just now when the teacher found Ali."
When I mentioned Ali, I didn't even blink. "So? Isn't Ali completing your mission? What does my presence here have to do with me?"
If the person who asked me was Fansu or Rolatini, I wouldn't be able to hide it.
But since it was Cassina who asked me that, that wouldn't work.
But I can't be completely reckless. Although Ali is also a member of the organization, at this critical moment, wouldn't Lola Tini do something?
So I moved Cassina's gun away and said in a soothing tone, "Don't be so nervous, Cassina. Ali and I are indeed friends, but it's not to this extent."
"Or do you think that what I'm hiding can affect the organization? Is that possible?"
I appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him, "If I had truly concealed something that would affect the organization's plans, Rolatini wouldn't have asked you to question me, but would have come here in person."
"You also know that this node is very important. She won't allow any mistakes."
I persuaded Cassina to put down the gun.
I maintained an innocent smile and lowered my head to continue playing with the communicator.
I edited a message to Ali. It didn't have any specific meaning, just a simple question asking where she had been these days.
I know this message will definitely be seen by Fansu, and maybe Ali is being guarded by Fansu right now.
If Fansu saw it, that's good; if he didn't, it's no big deal.
From such a simple thing, I realized a major problem.
I don't have many useful people in the organization.
Xinluoya, who was in charge of the white ore research, counts as one, Dutalia, whose life I saved, counts as half, Ali counts as one, and together with me, that makes three and a half.
But among these people, I am the only one who truly holds power, and my voice is the lowest among the members of the organization.
The result of this test disappointed me, but it was also within my expectations.
I'd only been in the organization for about three months, but Rolatini had been planning this for nearly twenty years. She'd only allowed me in because I was capable.
So, how do I do this?
Time moved forward again, to midnight, to September 4th.
The no-man's land was completely exposed to the convoy.
I jumped out of the car and found the scene in front of me extremely familiar.
The crazy alpha and omega, the supervisor who was dragged out, doused with gasoline and set on fire, and the building destroyed by the explosion.
White ore fragments flew along with the bomb, and the strong pungent smell stimulated everyone's glands.
The soldiers took medicine in advance and put on gas masks, so they were able to easily suppress the riot.
I followed behind Cassina, staring at her back, my fingers almost digging into her flesh.
What to do?
What should I do!
Ali?
No, she must live. She is one of the few allies in the organization that I can fully trust.
So I can't do anything too extreme. I have to strive for the greatest benefit within the extreme range and protect Ali at the same time!
At the same time, news came from Ascending City.
A group of armed citizens attacked the Senate and Jury Buildings under cover of darkness.
Upward City responded quickly, and the armed forces sent a signal to Baideng Bay at an extremely fast speed and planned to suppress it violently, but the control system suffered a devastating blow!
On this side, the soldiers had already prepared the bombs and retreated to a safe distance, waiting for the signal tower to explode.
I stood shoulder to shoulder with Cassina, my heart beating very fast.
Casena observed the distance and gave the order, "Explode!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier pressed the blasting button.
A violent explosion roared, resounding through the sky, and the flashing white light directly illuminated the sky above the no-man's land.
I was blown back several steps by the huge heat wave, and only by grabbing Cassina could I stabilize my body.
"The signal tower has been destroyed. Everyone, get ready and return to Ascending City!"
