Chapter 26: It's time for her to go crazy
The children's eyes were filled with unusual determination and confidence. For a moment, Sheng Xia even thought that if these children were not in prison but in some army, they would be the gods sent by heaven.
No wonder the warden values them so much and says that children like them will be able to fetch a good price when they grow up.
"Don't you need our help?" Suddenly one of the children asked cautiously. Shengxia looked up and found that all the children were already watching her expression very skillfully.
After a few seconds of silence, Shengxia spoke again: "No, I just feel a little sad."
After casually patting one of the children on the head, Shengxia renegotiated the action plan with them. She would enter the main entrance of the government hall alone to attract the attention of the criminals, while the children would get out of the car and follow Xiaoai's instructions to sneak into the government hall from the underground garage, which was behind the criminals.
The gun used is an electromagnetic sniper rifle that can instantly paralyze people. This gun has less recoil and a longer range than traditional short-range sniper rifles.
"You want to capture them alive?"
After noticing Shengxia's intention, one of the children asked, and then, without waiting for Shengxia to respond, they said that they should use close combat. Honestly, the electromagnetic sniper rifle is like a useless toy in a battle like this. And there's no ruling out the possibility that someone could raise their arms and fight back even if they were momentarily paralyzed.
"If you ask me, they should just shoot me in the head." "I also think a headshot is safer." "Just give us real guns." "If you want to keep one person alive for interrogation, just leave him alone." ...
Having weathered many storms, Shengxia felt like a harmless elementary school kid in front of this group of "living devils." She couldn't help but interrupt the children's chatter and said, "The action plan has been decided, so let's execute it, okay?"
"..." After a few seconds of silence, one of the children asked Shengxia again: "What if you get shot? Will our mission be considered a failure?"
Before Shengxia could say anything, the six-year-old child next to her raised his head, smiled innocently, and said to Shengxia, "You can hold my hand and go in. If there are any bullets, I will take the responsibility for blocking them for you."
midsummer:……
"You, do you know what it means to block a bullet?"
To Shengxia's surprise, the older child took off his clothes and showed Shengxia the bullet holes on his body like medals of honor. While showing them, he told Shengxia that although it was painful, he could still bear it, and if he really couldn't bear it, death would be a kind of happiness.
Sheng Xia: ... "I've changed my mind. Let's just shoot him in the head."
"Yo."
All the children became excited, and some of them wanted to raise their guns and fire them into the air in celebration, as if the brainwashing by the terrorist organization had penetrated into their bones.
Half an hour later, Sofule dragged Wei Jie, whose face was covered in blood after being beaten by him but who remained silent and refused to tell him where Sheng Xia had gone, and threatened in front of the Volk Planet's domestic live broadcast that if Sheng Xia didn't respond, he would shoot Wei Jie dead. Then he put the gun directly to Wei Jie's temples.
Wei Jie squinted his swollen eyes and looked at the black muzzle of the gun pointed at him. He suddenly didn't understand why he couldn't tell the truth about Sheng Xia's whereabouts. He should have told the truth. This was the best choice. His children couldn't live without a father, and his wife couldn't live without a husband. Yes, he should have told the truth about Sheng Xia's whereabouts.
Besides, if he really died, Shengxia might not be able to help him raise the child. Why was he so stubborn?
He glanced at Fu Qianshen who was lying on the ground after being beaten up. He knew that the reason why Sofule dared to point his gun at him was because he was just an internal staff member of the Government Affairs Hall. If he dared to point his gun at the highest person in charge of the Federal Security Team, it would be equivalent to defying the entire federal government.
However, the fact that the planetary commander beat the top leader of the federal security team to the point where he couldn't get up on the first day he was appointed was quite arrogant.
"I'll give you three more seconds. If you remain silent, I'll be forced to shoot."
Listening to Sofule counting down to three, two, one, Weijie inexplicably slowly closed his eyes. The next second, to the shock of the entire Volk planet, a gunshot rang out.
Wei Jie, who hadn't felt any pain for a long time, opened his eyes in disbelief. He was then shocked to find that Sofule, who had just arrogantly pointed a gun at his temple, had actually been shot in the head.
The scene seemed to be plunged into black and white for a moment.
Not only did the big connections in the government hall not expect this, but also the big families on the Volker planet who were watching the live broadcast did not expect this, even Wei Jie and the staff in the government hall did not expect this.
In midsummer, he really dared to shoot the eldest son of the big crocodile family [Sophos] in the head.
Before the people in the Sophos family could roar in anger, they heard a burst of gunfire, and all the people brought by Sofule were shot in the head, in an orderly manner.
Meanwhile, Shengxia walked into the government hall alone, facing the completely stunned crowd. She took off her sniper rifle goggles, faced the live camera of Sofule, and announced once again to all the people of Volk Planet and the major family forces:
"Anyone who dares to fire a shot at the government office will be considered a terrorist organization. All we need to fight terrorism is a list and coordinates. Do you understand?"
After she finished speaking, she turned off the live camera. No one in the entire government hall knew who took the lead. By the time Wei Jie reacted, warm applause had already sounded like an endless tide.
"You're crazy."
Suddenly, a loud voice of dissent emerged from the crowd. Shengxia looked over and saw that it was the eldest son of the largest arms dealer in the area. Standing with him were many of his relatives who were completely frightened. Their faces were not only uneasy but also gradually filled with a sense of sadness.
"In order to maintain a normal trade and business environment on Planet Volk, is there anything wrong with me killing the criminals who invaded the government hall?"
Suddenly, Shengxia said something that sounded a bit like playing dumb at that moment, but the eldest son of the largest arms dealer, who quickly recovered his senses, suddenly applauded. As he clapped, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he praised Shengxia: "The planetary commander did the right thing. We must show no mercy to such criminals."
Shengxia was very flexible in handling this matter. She also said that she shot and killed the gangster. Whether the gangster admitted it or not was the Sophos family's business. If he admitted it, then the two sides would officially go to war. If he did not admit it, that was fine. The iron rule of not shooting at the government hall must have been engraved in the minds of any organization leader on the entire Volk planet.
For his family, now is naturally the best time to sit back and watch the fire from the other side of the river and reap the benefits.
Afterwards, Shengxia walked towards Wei Jie, who was covered in wounds. She didn't say anything sentimental, but just walked up to him, hugged him gently, and patted his shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."
It was clearly just a very ordinary sentence, but for some reason Wei Jie felt his eyes were sore, and before he could react, tears were already flowing, and the crowd around him burst into warm applause again.
When the applause died down, Shengxia raised the gun in his hand as a stop signal, and then announced several urgent matters:
First, the staff in the government hall can take their families to the government hall for shelter, and the underground parking lot will be used as a temporary shelter;
Secondly, the building where Dr. Scream was previously located will be temporarily used as a hospital, and federal security personnel will patrol the hospital throughout the day.
Finally, the staff in the government hall may face another high-intensity work cycle, and this time there may not be enough funds to provide overtime subsidies to everyone.
"But I promise that no one on Planet Volk will die suddenly in the cold this winter. I need volunteers. Who is willing to volunteer?"
Shengxia looked around and saw that many people in the crowd were already crying with excitement. As soon as Shengxia finished speaking, they could hear the sound of petitions coming one after another:
"We are very willing to be your volunteers." "You are an excellent planet commander." "We are willing." ...
Amidst the thunder and applause of the crowd, even those with powerful connections were overwhelmed by the unstoppable momentum around them and could no longer utter a word of objection.
After Shengxia had dealt with the corpse and other matters in the government hall, the children in the prison cleverly avoided the crowd and appeared in front of Shengxia.
“Did we do well?”
Facing the children's eyes expecting praise, Shengxia said somewhat disappointingly: "It would be better if you knew why you were doing this."
The children lowered their heads in boredom, but one of the braver girls asked Shengxia angrily, "Knowing what we're fighting for...is that what you wanted to say?"
"Why, have you heard it before?" Shengxia asked her curiously.
Unexpectedly, she frowned and shook her head in disgust: "That person is hypocritical, I don't like him."
"It's really not easy to survive, and you have this ability that is enough to make many people afraid. You are a good knife."
The children fell silent. The words "a good knife" sounded insulting to them. It was like a cage that trapped them. No matter how well they honed their killing skills or how harmless they disguised themselves, they could not escape this cage.
Suddenly, Shengxia stood up and put a gun into the hands of the girl who had just spoken up for justice:
"But if you want to escape your fate of becoming a sword, you must know why you fight."
Children: ...
The girl looked up at Shengxia and asked, "What should we fight for?"
"There are many answers to this question. You don't have to just listen to me. There are many people here. You can ask them one by one, right?"
"We can't be exposed in front of the crowd without consent, because we are doing dirty things." The little boy in the group of children spoke first, but Shengxia said that she agreed this time. They can appear in front of this group of people and help deal with some things. She knows that they are not only good at killing, but also emergency treatment, right?
Children: ...
After a long silence, the group of young prisoners finally decided to follow Shengxia's advice and take the first step to show themselves in public.
On the other side, before the members of the federal security team arrived after hearing the news, Shengxia received a call from Mo Siming at the request of the population export faction. He said that the events in the government hall had been broadcast live, and not only the people of Volk planet had seen it, but also the federation and the surrounding star field forces.
The Sophos family was furious, and the word "angry" could not describe it. They started to mark the price and prepared to kill her.
"They're quite smart, they know they've reached the end of their rope and have no choice but to fight."
Who would have thought that Shengxia's tone was so calm that Mo Siming took several deep breaths before he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
He finally realized that people like Shengxia were completely crazy.
Having just kicked the table of the population export faction, they are now preparing to wipe out the nest of the arms faction and even the foundation of the biological faction.
"No, then..." Mo Siming said this and laughed angrily: "What are you going to do next? Are you going to die with all the people who support you?"
"How could that be? We're about two months away from entering the Ice Age. Once the winter arrives, it won't be possible for either the Federation or foreign forces to send anyone over. I figured it would be easy to take out two, so isn't that perfect?"
"How did it just happen?!"
It was only because Mo Siming was not in front of Shengxia, otherwise he would have jumped directly onto Shengxia's desk and squatted to ask her this question.
But Shengxia changed the subject the next second: "I know the Independence Army has other bases and also stores a large amount of ammunition."
It must be said that the first sentence scared Mo Siming terribly. Sure enough, Sheng Xia's next sentence was: "Aren't you going to take it out for actual combat?"
"You, you, you, are you really going to declare war on the Sophus family directly and put the planet Volk into a temporary wartime state? Are you really prepared to do this?"
"Over the past fifty years, the Sophus family has expanded from small-scale arms trading to daily necessities and industrial products. Finally, through their influence, they obtained federal qualifications for the production and sale of heating equipment. As an arms dealer family, no other family has ever been able to obtain the corresponding qualifications. Is it because they don't want to?"
Shengxia suddenly raised her voice:
"When you arrived on Volk and began to reorganize the population export faction, they suddenly became a politically influential family on Volk. Now, because of the death of the population export faction's chief elder, they've jumped out of desperation. Can't you imagine the connection?"
After just two words, the originally furious Mo Siming fell silent. During his silence, Sheng Xia continued, "The Sophus family has always controlled the so-called wildest West. Not only is it chaotic, with almost no population control, there aren't even many police stations or private prisons. On the surface, the Sophus family has always kept a low profile, but that's because their most profitable business has never been arms."
"What's the most profitable and safest business? They're colluding with the elders of the population export faction to traffic in infants and children, human organs, and train mercenaries. To put it bluntly, they're engaging in human trafficking. That's treason!"
"Now their eldest son has the guts to charge into the government hall with a gun, open fire, and even go on a livestream to clamor for me to intervene. What does this mean? It means the war has begun."
Mo Siming: ...
"Give up illusions and prepare for battle."
On the Independence Army side, perhaps noticing Mo Siming's gloomy expression, An Yuan took over the call, allowing everyone in the combat meeting room to hear Sheng Xia's words, "This is treason," and the final words, "Give up your illusions and prepare for battle."
An Yuan glanced at the silent crowd, knowing that it was time for them to make another historic decision. So she took a deep breath and calmly called out Sheng Xia's name into the communication device: "Sheng Xia, I'm An Yuan."
"I will lead the Independence Army to participate in this war. So, have you thought about how to use us?"
In the Independence Army's meeting room, Mo Siming turned in disbelief at the young An Yuan beside him. He felt as if he could see the image of Sheng Xia's crazy self in her. Sheng Xia quickly replied, "I'll use the regular army to hold them back on the western edge. As for you... do you remember how to conduct a surprise attack that I taught you before?"
"clear."
"Oh, I have to remind you this time." Shengxia said this while glancing at the young prisoners standing in the crowd: "The other team has a large number of Boy Scouts. I suggest you don't believe anything any of the children say when you act."
An Yuan: ... She suddenly understood why Shengxia suddenly made such a big fuss. She had always felt that Shengxia was unusually tough in her attitude towards children. Now it seemed that her feeling was right.
After lowering his eyes and revealing a light smile of relief, An Yuan replied again: "I understand. Take care."
Mo Siming: ...
He turned to look at An Yuan, the current leader of the Independence Army. An Yuan was also looking at him. After closing his eyes, Mo Siming stood up suddenly: "Alright, then let's kill him."
In the evening, Shengxia gave a mobilization speech in the hospital room of Fu Qianshen, the highest-ranking official of the Federal Security Team. At the same time, she released videos and photos of employees and citizens being beaten, as well as children being trained as mercenaries.
"I was deeply shocked and heartbroken by the shady dealings on Planet Volk. When I took down the human trafficking ring led by Dr. Scream, I discovered that the interests of the Federation's citizens had been stolen by foreign forces led by the Sophus family."
"Every year, the heating subsidies issued by the Federation are taken away by the Sophos family in the form of expensive heating equipment. For most of the time, not only are the citizens of the Federation unable to enjoy the heating subsidies, they are even forced to pay a portion of the difference in order to obtain the corresponding heating equipment."
"As the military responsible for the security of the federal government, the Federal Security Force already enjoys absolute priority in terms of supplies. Even so, every year, members of the Federal Security Force still have to pay high fees to support their family members after they enter the melt cave."
"So this battle is not just for the upcoming winter season, but also to prevent Planet Volk from sinking deeper into the quagmire."
…
After the speech, Shengxia's name quickly became the most searched topic in the nearby star field news. In the words of people from other star field forces:
[Although I know that Volker Planet always makes big news every year, I didn't expect this year's news to be so explosive!]
[For the first time in a hundred years, Planet Volker has declared a temporary state of war. Wow!]
[Ahhh, the new planet commander is so handsome! ]
[Do we really need to clean up the complex forces on Planet Volk? This planetary commander won't do great things and die miserably, right? Hahaha.]
[Planet Volker really has all sorts of fun!]
[It must be said that the ones who did great things and died miserably were the Sophus family.]
[Yeah, the planet commander didn't even give him a chance to kneel down and repent, he just shot him in the head.]
[Is there any live video of Xiaodao? Please share~]
…
While the people of other star regions were watching the show enthusiastically, the people of Volk Planet who were originally working illegally in other star regions suddenly united spontaneously and asked to return to their own star regions as soon as possible to check the situation. Some bosses, with the attitude of watching the show, actually approved leave for these people.
However, judging from the current situation on Planet Volker,
The news that the federal security team members said was "a big deal" was actually heard by the police station and private prison guards as "the new planet commander is completely crazy."
She is a big lunatic. If they start a war now, the cold season will be coming soon. Will they have time to retreat to Rongdong for rest after the war?
You should know that when the cold season arrives on Volk Planet, the external temperature can drop by dozens of degrees overnight, and everything exposed on the surface will be frozen into ice sculptures.
Rongdong, as the name suggests, is an underground city built against the hot spring mountain range of Volk Planet. However, this underground city is not self-heating and needs to prepare corresponding heating equipment and raw materials to maintain the temperature.
Every year, three months before the arrival of the cold season, all departments would start preparing winter supplies. Now, with only two months left, their planetary commander had actually declared war on the Sophos family, who had long been entrenched in the west.
She was crazy and was planning to freeze to death with everyone in the cold season on Planet Volk.
It just so happened that both the police station and the private prison were issued official documents to cooperate with this war. The police station could still be somewhat connected to this war, but the prison guards couldn't understand what this matter had to do with them?
Isn't this just Chunchun asking them to go to the battlefield and die?
For a time, many prison guards thought about resigning and even wanted to join the independence army against the federal regime. Yes, the independence army would definitely take advantage of the federal government to stir up trouble at this time, so if they wanted to seek asylum, now was a good time to find the independence army.
As a result, the resignation rate of the police and private prison guards soared, leaving Mo Siming, who was originally worried about how Shengxia would reorganize the forces of these three factions after dealing with the senior leaders of the population export faction, dumbfounded.
Now a large number of combatants are asking to join the Independence Army. Isn't this equivalent to combining the previous police force and the private prison guards into one? The leader of the Independence Army is obviously on Shengxia's side.
Therefore, Shengxia had already fully controlled at least two-thirds of the military forces on the planet Volk before the war officially broke out, and at the same time had the support of the people and the fear of other forces and organizations.
How can we fight this? This is just... a pure win.
