Chapter 25 Don't Seek Death or You Won't Die
Ignoring the gazes of their superiors, the first person to strike quickly turned into a brawl, and gradually devolved into an uncontrollable group fight. The crowd separated the arms dealer's client from the finance team members. Even the cleaning staff, who were usually responsible for cleaning the government hall, joined in the melee.
They used their fists to vent their long-held discontent. Some timid, powerful figures, seeing this revolutionary-like brawl escalate, had already screamed, shut themselves in their offices, and begged for support from the federal security forces, the police, private prisons, or even their own mercenaries.
However, these guys who usually come whenever they are called like "watchdogs" now all ignore their requests.
The reason given by the Federal Security Force was that "all the action plans of our new leader need to be approved";
The reason given by the police station was, "Government Hall? Isn't that the planetary commander's command post? We are a regular police station, not a terrorist organization. It is impossible for us to send people to the Government Hall to carry out an attack."
The private prison's excuse was "Nonsense! The planetary commander is inspecting us. Be sensible and don't bother us."
As for their own mercenaries... "I'm sure you still remember the death of the ace assassin Bazu. I'm sorry, we can't take your order for now."
For a time, the powerful connections were in a state of embarrassment, with no one to turn to. What frightened them even more was that they suddenly realized that without their knowledge, Shengxia, who had come to Volk Planet alone to take office as the planetary commander, had secretly controlled the strength of the entire planet's regular army, and used this strength to intimidate the rest of the mercenary terrorist organizations, making them dare not act rashly.
And Shengxia's casual remark, "Any organization that dares to fire even a single shot at the government hall will be considered a terrorist organization by her, and counter-terrorism only requires a list of personnel and precise coordinates, and she keeps her word," has become her signature in the underground undercurrent, carrying enough weight to make people think twice before taking action...
At the same time, the eldest son of the largest arms dealer in the area watched the chaos unfold and saw his fellow arms dealers being beaten. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "That idiot! He's pushed everyone to the Planet Commander's side."
Honestly, even though the family still felt the population exporters shouldn't have surrendered so quickly, he felt Shengxia had made her stance clear from the start. She was a hardliner, but everyone thought she wouldn't dare make a big fuss. Yet, when she did, she chose a "people's line" that seemed sensible now but seemed incredible to everyone at the time.
If it were anyone else, they would have died thousands of times already. She is truly a huge mystery.
Suddenly someone came up to the eldest son and asked him what they should do now. The eldest son glanced at his subordinates and smiled meaningfully.
Judging from the current situation, Shengxia has successfully become a hero in the hearts of the people of the Volk planet. Regardless of whether other family members admit it or not, the commotion inside the government hall has lasted for such a long time that no one from the federal security team, the police station, or the private mercenary group has come. This has long proved that Shengxia has secretly controlled these forces without anyone noticing.
This is troublesome. If Shengxia really controls the military forces of the population export faction, the situation of their arms faction and biological faction will be very bad. From Shengxia's perspective, wouldn't they be the next target to be attacked?
However, as the old saying goes, "wealth and honor are sought in danger." He can also take advantage of the situation to collect intelligence in the government hall to eliminate dissidents from the family and eventually control the entire family. Anyway, no matter how the situation gets out, when everything calms down, Shengxia will have to fill the big hole in the economic account. By then, they who control the economic giants will definitely need it.
Moreover, now that Shengxia has suddenly announced that everyone can enter the melting cave to avoid the severe cold without paying extra fees, considering the economic situation of the planet Volk, the annual winter shelter fee accounts for 17% of the planet's entire economic income, which is equivalent to a giant oligarchic pillar group covering the entire income of citizens from birth to death, from the planet's internal economic cycle to the external cycle.
This is a huge sum of money. It is impossible to get enough by just fleecing the population exporters. On the contrary, it might drive them crazy and force them to take extreme measures and completely eliminate Shengxia.
At this time, the arms dealer's eldest son took another look at the chaotic crowd and saw that a large number of female employees had protected the injured member of the finance team behind them. Some people checked her injuries, some comforted her, and some handed her hot water, hot towels and medicine. She also struggled to get up, but because she was kicked too hard, she was unable to get up.
"Go call an ambulance."
"ah?"
The eldest son's subordinates were obviously confused by his words. They didn't understand what calling an ambulance meant. Moreover, medical expenses on Planet Volker were very expensive. The cost of an ambulance trip plus subsequent treatment was probably not something a junior employee could afford.
But at this time, the eldest son's sharp eyes had already swept over him, and his subordinates had no choice but to do as he was told.
Just as the crowd sent the clerk away, Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen came back. As the fire alarm sounded, everyone present looked at Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen.
The arms dealer's eldest son was also quietly looking at these two characters whom he had never seen before from a corner of the crowd. It seemed that Commander Shengxia liked to use newcomers with no big background. This happened to be a perfect opportunity for him to test the waters. Thinking of this, he asked his subordinates to step forward and stir up trouble.
Let them shout that according to the laws of the previous planet Volk, those who disrespect the planet commander should be dragged to the central garden of the government hall and whipped in front of everyone.
At the word "whipping," everyone in the government hall immediately shouted in anger, "Whip! Whip! Whip!"
The mob needs an outlet to vent their anger, not to mention that they are collectively standing at the forefront of protecting the planetary commander. If Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen cannot handle this matter well, then their degree as the planetary commander's confidants will decline. If they accidentally leave the impression of backstabbing everyone,
Then, these "believers" who clamored for support for the planet commander would personally send these two people to the gallows. It's not easy to be a hero.
Sure enough, after hearing the whole story and looking at the crowd around him who were excitedly clamoring for "flogging", Wei Jie could clearly feel that this was a trap. His brain was working so fast that he was sweating profusely before he knew it.
Meanwhile, the arms dealer, lying on the ground, was still stubbornly challenging the two men, "Cropping? Come on! If you dare to touch me today, my family will be at odds with you tomorrow. Ha, that sounds nice. Waiving the melting hole fees, but who's going to pay for it later? Ah, do you dare to answer my question?"
Wei Jie was silent, and Fu Qianshen, who was standing next to him, was a little anxious. But at this moment, Wei Jie knew very well in his heart that he really didn't understand what Sheng Xia was thinking. If she waived the melting hole fee, wasn't she afraid of directly causing the economy of the Volk planet to collapse? If that happened, how high would the people's expectations of her be? How disappointed and desperate would they be after the winter season was over?
Now people embrace her as a deity. If everyone starts to go hungry after the cold season, will anyone still support her?
Wei Jie didn't even dare to imagine the consequences. He just wanted to take out his quick-acting heart pills and take two of them first.
The longer the time dragged on, the more arrogant this arms dealer's relative became. The initial threat had turned into a personal attack on Wei Jie.
"The planetary commander actually let someone like you take over as second-in-command. Oh, you're not even the real second-in-command, you're just an errand boy and messenger, and you're actually acting like you're a real jerk and trying to get justice."
"Bah! Are you even qualified to mention the word justice to me? In the past, you only wagged your tail like a dog when you saw me. Not just you, all of you. Now you think you're powerful even with a dead man standing behind you."
"If you hit me, I'll kill you all. I'll peel your skin off and hang you at the entrance of the government hall as a warning to everyone. What kind of people are you?"
"Especially you, Wei Jie. Back then, your youngest daughter was seriously ill and she knelt down to beg for help in this government affairs hall. She acted like a dog and licked the people in the Foreign Affairs Department. She finally got a position here, but now there are so many people here. When you die, I will sell all your daughters to the red light district. Ha, then I will play with them and let them..."
Before he could finish his words, Wei Jie punched the arms dealer's teeth, which flew out of his mouth in a perfect parabola in front of everyone's eyes.
It was not until he felt his hands were covered in sticky blood that Wei Jie came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. He glanced at the arms dealer's associate who was lying on the ground and was obviously beaten beyond recognition. He then glanced at the four subordinates of the associate who were looking at him in horror not far away, and then looked around at the silent crowd around him.
Wei Jie could feel the sweat on his forehead pouring down. He was so dazed he couldn't even remember how he stood up. All he could hear was his own tired and weak voice: "This man will be expelled from the country. As for the four of you, expel you from the government hall... You don't need to come to work tomorrow."
The more Wei Jie talked about it, the more uneasy he felt. He must have gotten into trouble... I guess.
This person was sent here by the Sophos family, a powerful family that monopolized the entire arms trade, daily necessities, industrial products, and heating equipment in the western cities of Volk Planet.
No matter what this person's status in the Sophos family is, at least he has this powerful family standing behind him, not to mention the non-federal support forces standing behind this powerful family.
He must have been in trouble.
Wei Jie originally wanted to find a cup of hot water to calm his nerves, but he turned a corner and sat down exhausted. For a while, he didn't have the strength to stand up again. When Fu Qianshen came over, he saw Wei Jie holding his head and wanting to cry.
He muttered to himself that he shouldn't have been so impulsive, shouldn't have thought he was capable after following the planetary commander for a few days, shouldn't have dragged his family into this. Ah, this family would definitely not let him go. What should he do? Should he beg for mercy now? If he begged for mercy...
"Wake up." Fu Qianshen suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Wei Jie's arm, and looked directly into his eyes, which were about to surrender. "Even if you beg for mercy now, do you really think they will be willing to let your family go? No, they won't. After squeezing everything out of you, they will even show you your broken family so they can enjoy your completely devastated expression."
Facing Fu Qianshen's roar, Wei Jie took several deep breaths, letting the tears flow out of his eyes before opening his mouth and asking Fu Qianshen: "Then what should I do?"
Fu Qianshen was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said firmly: "Resist to the end."
The grip on Wei Jie's arm intensified, and the more Fu Qianshen said these four words, the more determined he became: "Fight them."
For example, because of offending a small figure in a big family, the family is broken up, the wife and daughter are sold to the red-light district and played with, or the other party is tricked into doing illegal work at the beginning, and when the person thinks he can finally be free and reunited with his family, he is arranged to see his broken wife and daughter at a feast, or his family whose organs have been harvested, so that the audience can enjoy the person's collapsed and desperate expression.
These beasts had done this kind of thing a lot in their previous gatherings. As a member of the federal security team, Fu Qianshen always heard them telling such things as a joke to "please" him when he went to collect "protection fees" from police stations and private prisons.
All these memories that had been suppressed in his heart for so long, and buried to the point that he had become numb, burst out at this moment and condensed into a simple sentence: "We must fight them to the end."
At this time, Wei Jie looked over through Fu Qianshen's encouraging eyes and saw that the crowd had gathered towards him without him noticing. No one had any big expression on their faces, but just looked at him silently but firmly.
Deportation, these four words are easy to say, but to actually do it given the current situation, is simply a fantasy.
Even if the passport of this arms dealer's client could be destroyed inside the government hall, as long as the Sophos family wanted to protect their own people, a passport would not do anything to them. On the contrary, they would be subjected to crazy revenge by the Sophos family.
"I'll suggest to the planetary commander that everyone bring their families to work during this period. She once promised us that anyone who dares to fire a shot at the government hall will be considered a terrorist organization, and counter-terrorism only requires a list of names and coordinates."
Wei Jie had just finished speaking when he heard voices of "resist to the end" rising one after another from the crowd.
At the same time, Shengxia was interrogating a group of special prisoners in a private prison. These prisoners ranged in age from three to seventeen, and all of them had participated in attacks on federal officials. It was worth mentioning that their parents were also members of the corresponding terrorist organizations, and many of them had personally planned the specific activities, down to the details of what the children would say.
"So, why did you attack the people from the Federation?"
But strangely, when asked questions like "Why?" and "What are their demands?", these young prisoners, including their parents, all replied, "I don't know."
midsummer:……
"We just attacked, why are there so many whys?"
On the contrary, the parents of the young prisoner found Shengxia's question inexplicable. They thought that killing people should be as normal as drinking water and eating.
The prison guards also told Shengxia that she shouldn't waste time arguing with this group of people. They were beyond saving and the reason they were still detained was because the prison subsidies in the past were calculated per person.
Shengxia: “So that’s why there are even babies in prison?”
"At least these babies will have a father and the status of citizens of Volk Planet. They can also help make some money and eventually find adoptive families. Isn't that good?"
"Good, very good." After saying this, Shengxia punched the prison guard in front of her, knocking him to the ground with his hands on his stomach. Only this kind of violent action could attract the attention of this group of special prisoners, making them smile and say that Shengxia's punch was very good, but they could also do it so well.
midsummer:……
Ignoring the prison guards' obstruction, she took out a gun and handed it to this group of special prisoners, asking them to see if they recognized the gun and whether it could be disassembled. Before she finished speaking, the gun in Shengxia's hand had been disassembled and reassembled by a nine-year-old prisoner. The other party even told her that the gun was well maintained and was a high-end product. He was indeed a big shot from the Federation.
midsummer:……
Even though he had experienced many planes, accompanied the host on many missions, and witnessed a lot of darkness, when facing the calm and desperate eyes of the children, he still felt very sad from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to bring these children who originally lived in "abnormal" back to normal life.
This is not something that can be done with just love, let alone seeing any changes in the short term.
"Are you going to execute us?" Suddenly, a six-year-old child looked up and asked Shengxia this question. Shengxia was stunned and couldn't help but ask her back: "Why do you think I want to execute you?"
"Because our existence is troublesome..." After thinking for a moment, the six-year-old added, "Isn't it?"
When they heard that the little prisoner was going to be executed, his parents finally showed some expression, but it was not an expression that wanted to beg for mercy from Shengxia. Instead, they had an expression with a hint of anticipation, thinking that it would be good to be freed like this.
Shengxia suddenly laughed. It turns out that when one is extremely popular, one really can't help laughing out loud.
She squatted down and asked the children seriously whether they wanted to live. After they thought about it and said they still wanted to live, Shengxia said she could make a deal with them.
"What deal?"
"Didn't you go to jail for killing people from the Federation? Now you become my bodyguards and I'll let you out. That's fair, isn't it?"
The children thought about it, some nodded, while others looked back at their parents in confusion. Shengxia then looked at the parents of these children and told them, "If you remember why we killed the people from the Federation in the first place, feel free to contact me. This is a very good deal."
For abnormal people, if you want to integrate with them or even change them, you must first communicate with them in a language they can understand.
However, what the private prison guards did not expect was that just after Shengxia left, the independence army suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kidnapped most of the prisoners in the prison.
The prison guards had never expected that, with their weapons ready, the vault locked, and the heating equipment about to be moved, the Independence Army would kidnap the prisoners and run away, leaving everything else untouched...
"Hey, there are more and more weird things these days, huh? Prisoner kidnapping? It's almost winter season. Can the Independence Army afford to support so many people if they kidnap them?"
"...Should this be reported? How else should it be reported? Not seeking equipment or money, just a prisoner? Ugh... How bizarre."
After contacting An Yuan and Mo Siming, the leaders of the Independence Army, in the car, Xiao Ai sent an urgent message: Sofule, the eldest son of the Sofus family, one of the major arms dealers on the planet Volk and the third son of the family, led a team with guns into the government hall.
"Oh, I remember what happened with Wei Jie. How is the situation now?"
According to the footage from the internal surveillance of the government hall, Sofule came to the door of the government hall with a gun and fired a shot directly at the door.
"Ha, your planetary commander said anyone who dares to fire a shot at the government office will be considered a terrorist organization, and all we need to fight terrorism is a list of names and coordinates. Fine, fine, now I've delivered myself to your door. Where's your planetary commander? He's probably hiding like a coward, isn't he?"
Seeing Sofulle's arrival, not to mention Weijie and others, even the eldest son who is also an arms dealer's relative found it strange. Directly provoking the planet commander?
It seems that the Sophos family has received some news and is sure that the population export faction has completely sided with Shengxia, or... is there something wrong with the population export faction?
While he was still guessing, Sofule had already taken a photo of Shengxia shooting one of the elders of the population export faction, indicating that the Sofus family must avenge this vengeance.
"Okay, okay." Sheng Xia, who was sitting in the car at the moment, originally listened to Mo Siming's words. As to whether this elder really colluded with foreign forces to betray the people of Volk Planet, the corresponding chain of evidence was not complete.
But the Sophos family, an arms dealer family that is one of the foreign forces, suddenly jumped out and said that his revenge would be taken from their family. This was truly "double happiness coming at the same time".
At this moment, Shengxia glanced at the eight young prisoners in her car who had come over out of curiosity to see the surveillance footage. She simply showed them the footage and asked, "If we don't want to harm the hostages inside but still want to kill these gunmen, do you have any good suggestions?"
The children started to think seriously about it, and soon one of them suggested that they could go up through the underground passage to observe the situation, then use the alarm inside the government hall as bait, and then use short-range sniper rifles to kill the group of people one by one.
"The recoil of a single bullet from a short-range sniper rifle is enough to send you flying or break your shoulder, which means you only have one chance to fire."
"Well, that's enough."
