Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Finally Leaving the Military Zone
When I first entered the military zone, I was full of fighting spirit and vowed to get the 10,000 yuan bonus.
But Seranders's character was beyond my expectations, and now I'm not sure... No, I'm sure I can't convince her.
It wasn't that she hadn't noticed something was amiss with Baideng Bay, nor that she hadn't noticed what Baideng Bay had been doing with the white ore over the years. But she still chose to cover her eyes and ears, even hoping that as long as she didn't see or hear anything, it wouldn't exist.
She's a good and loyal soldier, but she can be quite foolish at times. Kasa is much smarter than her in that regard.
Serandus first looked at Cassina.
During this short period of eye contact, they both saw many complicated things in each other's eyes, which weighed heavily on their hearts.
Catherine left the ward.
Serands sat beside my bed, his cold eyes falling lightly.
She probably wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start, so she had to wait for me, the senator who was good at speaking, to speak.
But I wasn't in a hurry. I'd just woken up, and I was still sore all over. I needed to rest after all that fussing.
It was quiet for a long time before I slowly exhaled. "Selanders, how's Amu?"
"He's fine and has been transferred back to Ascend City."
Although the rebels' sneak attack was within my expectations, I wanted to make it a complete show. I didn't ask anyone to continue protecting Amu, but just asked him to hide with Ali.
Fortunately, he is smart and Ali has made all the arrangements, so there is no need to worry about his comfort.
"Has his half of the blueprint been lost?" I asked.
Serandus' mouth closed, his eyes lowered, "You knew White Lantern Bay would take the blueprints."
She finally stopped hiding it.
I smiled. "I knew it would get lost when I told you about A-Mu's existence. But I'm not worried about what might happen if they get the blueprints. Those parameters are all wrong."
"Hua La..." Serands pulled out a chair and sat down, his back still straight and his posture upright.
She has lived in the military zone for more than ten years, and the living habits have become ingrained in her.
I'm ashamed of myself for this. Anyway, I still use my messenger to occasionally watch some emotional videos of beautiful young people, and leave some constructive comments below to help them with their relationship.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" she asked me.
"I think you actually wanted to ask me. Because I saw it, I took the initiative to point it out."
“…” Serands was speechless again.
This was the second time the room had fallen silent, and I didn't know how to find a topic to talk about.
After a long pause, I spoke bluntly, "Do you know that Baidengwan wants to get rid of you?"
"Kasa just told me."
"Do you want to die?" I asked.
This seems like nonsense.
I put myself in other people's shoes. I don't want to die.
Serandus also smiled as if he had heard a joke, but the smile was fleeting, and he straightened his mouth again, returning to his cold and serious expression.
"I don't know if you want to die, but I know Bai Dengwan won't let you go. After this incident, Bai Dengwan knows you already know a lot. You were a key participant in the meeting and the primary contact with the rebels after the general left. Now that public opinion in the Keya District is fermenting, and you are one of the main negotiators, Bai Dengwan will definitely find a reason to attack you to calm the anger of the Keya District."
"After tomorrow, the military zone will completely liquidate the remaining rebels. That means their order will be issued tomorrow at the latest. What do you think it will be?" I looked directly into Serandus' eyes. "What do you want your crime to be? Aiding the rebels? Promoting discordant negotiations? Or being an accomplice in the kidnapping of the general?"
"Useless." Serands said to me.
"Bai Wuyin." I held out a hand. "This is my real name."
Seranders shook my hand. "Is the general with you?"
"right."
"Are you using white ore as well?"
I raised my eyes and said, "We are not birds of a feather with Baideng Bay."
Seranders withdrew his hand and placed it back on his knees.
The room fell into silence for the third time.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
I listened to the ticking of the clock and the long military bugle call outside, which then set with the sun until the light in the ward dimmed.
It's already evening.
I counted the angles the hour hand turned, carefully observing Serandus's expression.
She still had the same expression, but her hands on her knees were clenched tighter and tighter.
When I thought she was still choosing to remain deaf and dumb, she suddenly let go of my hand.
She took a deep breath, as if breathing fresh air for the first time, and then said, "Kasa is very young and smarter than me. If she is given time and room to grow, she will be better than me."
I nodded, "I will."
Serands received my promise and raised the corners of his mouth.
The orders from the Upward City were carried out very quickly, and public opinion in the Keya District also erupted very quickly.
The trip, originally scheduled to depart tomorrow morning, will now depart at 7 o'clock tonight.
Once again, I feel that Alpha's physical fitness is better than that of a cow, and it is no longer just a description of the legendary endurance king.
Cassina can get out of bed in the morning and run back and forth across the military zone in the afternoon, and she still has time and energy to quarrel with Kanoka.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't eavesdropping.
Although I don't have much moral integrity or ethics, I will stay away from anything that is detrimental to my physical and mental health. This is just because I have nowhere else to hide, I heard it.
That was all the content of the quarrel.
I feel sorry for Cassina as she has never been able to win an argument with Kanoka.
I felt anxious for her as I listened to her words blurt out.
A few hours before leaving, Casa also found me.
Her eyes were a little red, but she looked fine.
"Has Serandus spoken to you?"
"Um."
I looked at Kasa quietly and asked Kobayashi, who was pushing my wheelchair, to leave.
Xiaolin was a little nervous and was thinking anxiously about what to do.
She has missed a lot of my things during this period, and it is difficult for her to report me. It would be a shame to let Carter give her the high salary if she leaves now.
But being the callous boss that I was, I let her go.
After everyone left, Kasa said, "I know what she will do."
"Are you going to stop it?"
"……No."
I pondered for a moment and asked, "So you are now a non-staff member of our team?"
"Well...it's not for you, I just want to give myself an explanation."
I chuckled, "Wow, so it's our pleasure then?"
She punched my wound and said, "Shut up, pretty boy."
I was shaking like a sieve.
My injuries are serious, so I need to prepare medical equipment and arrange for a vehicle.
In order to prevent the rebels from retaliating and counterattacking, Kasena specially arranged for Kasa to lead a team to escort me to safety.
I suggested that someone else escort him, as Kasa had more important things to do. But Kasa refused.
"There's nothing I can do to change the outcome. I might as well escort you properly to prevent you, a crispy pork belly, from being killed."
"Then I thank you."
"It's my duty. If you want to express your gratitude, please ask the organization to give me the bonus you gave me."
"Then you might as well let Ali work for you. If you want my money, you're asking for my life."
As the convoy drove past various military zone buildings, the outline of the checkpoint gradually became apparent.
I used the communicator to check the public opinion trends in the Keya District and saw several signs of demonstrations that were suppressed by the authorities.
The video in which Dutalia denounced Baideng Bay and Shangxing City was repeatedly put on and taken off the shelves, and various compressed pictures from various channels were circulated in secret corners, and then verbal condemnations broke out again and again.
The words "white ore", "ascending city", "white light bay" and "rebel party" appeared repeatedly in the comment section and were then deleted by the officials who controlled the comments.
The Keya District finally became chaotic.
I always have a premonition that a storm is coming, and a feeling that I am in another world.
How long had it been since I left the slums? No, how long had it been since all this happened? It seemed like just three months. It sounds short, but a lot had happened.
I continued to browse the media out of boredom until a red news headline suddenly caught my eye.
At 9:12 PM on August 21, Sergeant Serandos Guchiga of the Military District was found dead in his office. He left behind a thousand-word suicide note accepting responsibility for the failed renegotiation.
Below that is a mosaic image.
The sergeant sat in her chair, her back straight, her left hand on her knee, her right hand hanging down, holding the trigger. Hidden in the mosaic, her head tilted slightly to the left, and a faint red patch of her temples could be seen.
I couldn't describe how that felt. I wanted to say something to Kasa, but she was busy escorting the convoy and had no time, so I had to regretfully give up my idea.
The convoy finally left the checkpoint.
I saw Kasa from the rear window. He was young and full of energy, with his head held high. He still had that unruly and arrogant look, and he looked like he deserved a beating.
I still didn't tell her about the Seranders incident. My instinct told me it would be better for her to go and see for herself; it would seem uncultured of me to initiate the conversation.
I was transferred to the hospital in Uptown and enjoyed quite good welfare.
Never mind what Bai Dengwan thinks about personally shooting the rebel leader; on paper, I'm the hero. If anything goes wrong with me at this critical juncture, the Keya District will absolutely explode, and the civilized parade will turn into an uncivilized one.
The military zone now has no troops to suppress the mob, and White Light Bay will not be stupid enough to hand a fuse to Rodini.
Cutler came over to see me first.
She still looks like that smiling old fox. If you don't know me, you would think I am her biological daughter.
But it is undeniable that she was indeed a little sincere to me.
"Useless, thank you for your hard work." She said with a smile.
I pulled the corners of my mouth, put on a simple and honest mask, and said with a lingering fear: "Thanks to Catherine, if she hadn't shown up in time, I would have really died."
"Hahaha." Cutler was in a good mood when his daughter was praised.
"It would be great if my sister came back with me." Kanoka complained in a low voice.
"Noka, Sena has an important task." Carter touched his head, "But after this time, Wuyong and your engagement can be brought forward."
Kanoka and I were both stunned.
"Captain, what do you mean?" I asked cautiously.
Cutler smiled kindly and cordially, "Fan Su, who holds the fifth seat in the Senate, will officially take over as president tomorrow. You will be the vice president upon the recommendation of the House of Representatives."
I subconsciously asked, "What about the vice president who was supposed to take over?"
"Naturally, she was imprisoned for inciting conflict between Ascend City and Keya District. Her accomplice, Hai Jin, was murdered by her to silence him, and his body was found in the office this morning."
After Cutler finished speaking, I didn’t know how to react.
Fan Su's efficiency is terrifyingly high. He can assassinate those he can and overthrow those he can.
I looked at Carter and he suddenly said, "Captain, has Fansu told you about me?"
She admitted: "She is very interested in the abilities you demonstrated in the military zone. She is also from the military zone and has worked with Senna for a period of time."
I see, that’s why I was wondering why it was so efficient.
"Didn't Coreyon Horry say anything?" I asked.
"He..." Cutler rubbed the top of his crutch, "He's a rare steady young man who knows how to endure in order to gain greater benefits."
