Chapter 60 Chapter 60 I'm so sad, I'll find a replacement later...
At 4:26 p.m. on August 10, the bustling commercial street of Shangxing City was still bustling with people.
The slum explosion that killed and injured tens of thousands of people a dozen days ago did not affect consumers, and no one cared about the ceasefire in the military zone.
The only event that interested everyone was the news yesterday that Deputy Chief Dutalia was confirmed to be an accomplice of the rebel party and was imprisoned.
Those who were unaware continued to eat and drink, while those who were in the know secretly observed and tried to get a piece of the pie in this mess.
Shortly after the news of the forced entry into the Scott family's home to search for evidence came out, half an hour later, news came out that two important Scott figures were missing.
Some people began to wonder about the relationship between the Scott family and Dutalia, but more people paid attention to the gossip.
What is the relationship between the two people from the Scott family and the leader of the rebel party?
Was the box that was found confirmed to be Dutalia's? Why were fingerprints from a third person found? And the ambiguous messages in the communicator were said to indicate a tense and exciting relationship between the three.
Tsk tsk tsk, did these gossip reporters eavesdrop on the news while lying under the Scott family's bed? How can they describe something that has not yet been confirmed so vividly, making the reader feel as if they are there?
Kanoka angrily browsed the screenshots of the news sent by Yosir.
The more he looked down, the more irritated he felt.
Yosier only gave him the screenshot to share with friends, but as the adopted son of the leader, Kanoka naturally received more accurate information than Yosier.
In that so-called tense and exciting threesome, one of the parties involved is Bai Wuyong!
The low-class people not only fooled him, but also fooled his mother and sister! When he was clamoring for his mother to put the damn low-class people in jail, his mother actually told him to go play.
"Noka, don't make things too awkward," the captain, who had just returned from Scott Manor, said to his adopted son. "And without solid evidence, how can you be sure she volunteered? She's just a lowly person, Noka. She doesn't have the skills to handle it."
"That won't do!" Kanoka raged. "Since that low-class person is related to the Scott family, he must be a rebel!"
When the rebels were mentioned, Cutler smiled with a helpless yet tolerant smile, as if he were looking at a cat that knew nothing but howling. "Noka, you can think of this as a test from me."
"What?" Kanoka's mind paused. "What's so good about her test?"
"Do you think I don't care about you? You said you don't like Corialon, the Horry family's daughter who's ten years your senior. So, I'll find you someone younger and prettier," Cutler said slowly. "She does come from a poor background, but she's honest and simple, isn't she? She could marry into our family. Since she has nothing, she can only cling to you. She'll make you her center and let you scold her without a word."
"Noka, don't romance novels tell you that love has nothing to do with class? How can you only look at her status?"
After these series of words, Kanoka's brain turned into a mess, filled with fragments from romance novels.
Kanoka has no opinions and no brains, but his train of thought is fresh and unconventional.
He wouldn't spread the news that the new person involved in the gossip was Bai Wuyong. Apart from Carter's disapproval, he also didn't want to lose face. If anyone knew he had any connection with the low-class person suspected of being a rebel and the protagonist of the gossip, he would definitely be ridiculed.
So annoying!
He returned to his room dejectedly, feeling annoyed and wanting to smash things around again.
The communicator sent a string of messages, but the other party did not respond. The last message stayed at the agreed time and place.
Looking out the window again, there were layers of guards providing protection.
Apparently, Cutler wouldn't allow him to leave the house during this special period.
After staying in the room for more than half an hour, he suddenly saw Carter leaving in a hurry again through the window, followed by many guards.
Yosir sent another message.
The prison where criminals were held was bombed by the rebels, resulting in many deaths and serious injuries. Many criminals took the opportunity to escape from the prison.
Kanoka's breathing suddenly became rapid.
The courts, hospitals, and commercial street centers were all maliciously filled with inducers, and chaos was everywhere.
His heart was pounding, and Kanoka turned to the communication page again.
The above news made his head buzz.
His mother didn't let him leave, but he insisted on leaving.
That annoying low-level person must be caught with her own hands!
——
"They asked you if you would be lenient?" Ali asked.
I was bandaging my arm, which had been accidentally injured by a bomb, and I couldn't help laughing when I heard this question. "What do you think?"
Seeing how hard I was bandaging, Ali came over and expertly tore off the gauze and bandaged me. "I don't know."
"Do they think I'm too cruel? Or too soft-hearted?" I asked her. "Actually, they don't care."
"I think I'm very kind. I only planted bombs in prisons. Other places are just triggers. Those people just need to persevere. After the effect of the drug wears off, they can put on clothes and continue to live as human beings."
"Ansa wants me dead, Cutler's been watching from the sidelines, and Corialon wants me dead too." I named everyone who had some connection with me during this time. "Besides you, who else can help me?"
After bandaging me, Alice thought for a moment and said, "There's another one with white hair."
"Kirsty?" I laughed even more. "He's not important. What's important is the Jane family behind him. In essence, he and I are on the same opposing side."
I still have something to say.
In fact, even if it was about "restructuring" the organization, they were only willing to help because of the work I did for them.
Well, this is how the world works. Only those who exchange interests with you are friends. There is no such thing as getting something for free.
Sitting on the ground to rest, my mind was clear.
I myself don’t know whether I can survive or whether the plan can succeed. After all, the cost is a bit high.
Looking at Ali next to me, I suddenly asked a stupid question: "If I don't pay you back, will you still help me?"
Ali: “…”
She silently raised the dagger and began to gesture at my head.
"Enough! I said enough! I'll pay you back!"
Ali retracted the dagger.
I thought the little incident was over, so I turned my head back and continued waiting.
Has Dutalia escaped from prison and headed for the military zone?
Will she trust me?
Haha, there's nothing I can do about it. Besides trusting me, what other way does she have to survive? I'm giving her a chance. If she doesn't have the ability to survive, then she dies. If she does survive, then half the credit goes to me.
My arm still hurt a little, so I changed my posture and continued looking at the sky.
Without a communicator to check the time, I could only tell what time it was by observing where the shadows moved.
It's already around half past six.
There were noises and explosions in the distance again, and I breathed a sigh of relief. "Ali, she's gone!"
Just as I was about to stand up, Ali suddenly said, "Yes."
I was stunned and turned to look at her.
Ali narrowed her eyes, rarely using her brain, and said to me in a serious tone, "I will help you."
She was answering my question.
I looked at her, then opened the car door and said, "Drive."
"oh."
I came to the Upward City by boat, and I don’t know what the military zone level looks like.
As I got closer, I could smell the thick smell of gunpowder and the exhaustion of the citizens living nearby.
Even the Up City is inhabited by ordinary people.
They went through all kinds of hardships to get to the Upward City, thinking they could live a life of luxury and extravagance, but they were still kicked into a corner and endured the pain of artillery bombardment.
Class discrimination and gender discrimination are even more serious than in the Keya District. It is not as free and happy as advertised on TV. The so-called ability to buy a house in full by washing dishes is a dreamlike bubble that bursts when you look closer.
Before the ceasefire, they were always worried about the rebels' bullets and artillery fire breaking through the wall and hitting their houses. After the ceasefire, they had to worry about the increased taxes and unchanged wages required to repair the wall and replenish ammunition.
There aren't many surveillance cameras here, so I hid from others and jumped into a room with Ali.
Ge Xin had been waiting here for a long time.
"Are you sure we should open up public opinion at this time?" he asked.
I glanced at him. "Can you find another opportunity? The military district is busy dealing with the mines, and the major media outlets in Upward City are busy capturing gossip about Scott Manor. Furthermore, other places have to deal with wealthy people who have been induced to become susceptible. Even Carter is busy searching for the escaped Dutalia."
"If we don't open it now, there will be no chance later."
Ge Xin looked at me for a long time. Even though I hadn't seen his amber eyes for such a long time, they were still stunning and exciting at first glance.
I didn't have time to argue with him too much, so I took the organization's dedicated communicator and opened it to browse.
A red dot was shown moving continuously, heading towards the military zone checkpoint.
Load the bullets, adjust the image, and set up the camera.
Public opinion is only the first step in the organization. Once the floodgates are opened and the floodwaters pour out, the Ascending City will no longer be able to stop it.
I saw my own image through the glass window.
His hair was disheveled, his arms were injured, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was determined and sad.
This is fake again.
The conversation with Olvera in Scott Manor was still lingering in my mind, going around and around.
"Olvera, do you love me?"
"Olvera, do it for me."
"I'll escort you out of Scott Manor and take the captain's adopted son, Kanoka, as your hostage. Do you still have the dagger? Use this one. Go to the military checkpoint. I've set up everything there in advance. Once you're there, you can reunite with me. Don't worry, you won't die. With Kanoka in your hands, they won't dare do anything to you."
"Levin? I'll send Levin out too. I want to use him to exchange benefits with the Hori family. Levin is a rebel. After Coriaron Hori captures Levin, he will smooth things over for us."
"That box? Don't worry about it being discovered. Hori will take care of it. It's just evidence Levin used to frame us. We will leave Ascend City intact. We'll hide our identities and get married, okay?"
"I love you, Olvera."
Of course I love Olvera.
I love him for the shelter he provided me in the slums, I love him for letting me hook up with Levin, I love him for neurotically trusting me even though he clearly sensed something was wrong with me, I love him for not thinking about the role of the dagger during this special period but waiting with joy for me to fulfill my promise and marry him.
You are so sweet, Olvera.
Ge Xin watched me load the bullets and heard the noise outside getting louder and louder.
He looked outside and saw an omega man being dragged out of the car, who was obviously from the upper class of Uptown.
He was about eighteen years old, with exquisite makeup and expensive luxury brand clothes. Even the tears that fell when he cried seemed to sparkle like expensive diamonds.
Unfortunately, he had a bright red slap mark on his face and was taken to the military checkpoint. The bodyguards who were responsible for protecting him dared not move, fearing that the kidnappers would hurt him in a fit of anger.
"How do you confirm that the omega will leave home?" Ge Xin asked curiously.
I deadpanned, "Smart people like to be smart, stupid people like to have sudden inspirations, it's that simple."
As long as Kanoka leaves home, the organization has plenty of ways to successfully hijack him.
Ge Xin felt strangely scolded. He turned to look at Ali for approval, but she didn't understand at all. She just stared at the communicator in my hand with a serious expression, as if she was afraid that the ten thousand yuan was gone again.
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out and the scene became even more chaotic.
Olvera pulled Kanoka back, and out of the corner of his eye he saw someone familiar passing by the checkpoint.
Those were the ones who helped him kidnap Kanoka.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The hostage was still moving around, crying and cursing, "I won't let you go! I'm going to have Mom arrest you and put you in jail! I'm going to have Mom shoot you!"
Even at this point, he still had the courage to threaten the kidnappers. It was incredibly stupid.
But Olvera didn't care about it at this time.
With the dagger against the hostage's neck, he inched closer to the checkpoint.
The soldiers in the military zone also pointed their guns here, and the bodyguards were on high alert.
Finally approaching the checkpoint, just a little bit away from crossing the iron gate.
"Let go! I'm not going to the military zone!" Kanoka struggled violently. "I don't want to go to the military zone!"
No matter how foolish Kanoka was, he knew the dangers of the military zone after Carter's repeated warnings. It was filled with dead bodies, Alphas without inhibitors, and vicious rebels.
What's more, the military zone and the Upward City are in opposition. Once you enter, even the adopted son of the captain will suffer.
"Bitch!" Olvera couldn't stand it any longer. "I told you to stop making noise!"
Before the end, before meeting up with Bai Wuyong, Olvera didn't want to kill Kanoka, he just wanted him to be quiet.
The raised dagger was knocked down, and a burning pain penetrated the wrist bone.
“Ahhhhhh!”
The hostages' screams gradually moved away from Olvera, followed by choking and noise.
He must have been hallucinating, because when he saw the crowd, the woman actually shot him.
"Bai——" Useless!
He fell to the ground with his eyes open before he could pronounce his name.
The splattered blood splashed on Kanoka's face, dyed his hair, and melted with the orange sunset into a beautiful oil painting.
A wisp of white smoke slowly rose from the muzzle and dissipated into the air.
Bai Wuyin didn't look at Olvera who had fallen to the ground. Instead, he raised a gentle and relieved smile, fixed his eyes on the trembling Kanoka who was too frightened, and said to him, "It's okay, Kanoka."
Olvera, you are so pitiful, you are so cute.
No one will feel sad for you, only Bai Wuyong will feel sad for you in his heart.
As for Bai Wuyin? She has more important things to do.
People didn't even have time to lament this thrilling scene before they were knocked to the ground by the sudden aftermath of the explosion in the military zone!
"Leave the checkpoint!" Bai Wuyin shouted to everyone, pulling the stunned Kanoka along as they quickly evacuated. "It's the rebels, they've broken in!"
