Chapter 20: First, take down the Hua Jing family.
Fu Chengxiang waved his hands excitedly, his cloudy eyes shining. He had been digging in the mine for more than ten years, but given his declining health, he could only last another three to five years at most.
If it weren't for his experience and willingness to selflessly teach other miners, the overseers would probably have cut off his nutrient supply long ago and left him to fend for himself.
He thought he would just drift through life like this, but he never expected that today that god-like figure would casually kill the foreman of their mining area with a lump of ice.
He also handed him a remote control screen, allowing him to unlock all the slaves in the mining area, which brought light back to his life, which was about to be extinguished like a candle.
This was the first time Bo Yiyan had ever seen such light in the eyes of someone whose life force was almost exhausted, and he couldn't help but be moved.
"Xiao Bai, I think his suggestion actually makes a lot of sense. If we join forces, surely we can take down a small planet?" Bo said with great confidence.
Before we came, Mao Li said that Silverwing Star was much smaller than Green Algae Star, at most a quarter of its size.
The two of them can be considered the pinnacle of combat power on Green Algae Star. In their home planet, they are definitely figures who can stir up a storm.
Once we arrive on this tiny Silverwing Star, are we just supposed to cower in fear and flee everywhere?
“Alright! But before we decide to rebel, I need to find out the distribution of top-tier combat power on Silverwing Star.” Xiaobai said, looking at Fu Chengxiang.
Because of his timid nature and honest, hardworking nature, the overseers had hardly been wary of him over the years.
He was also quite attentive, so he collected a lot of useful information.
"My lord, according to the information I have gathered, there are three major families on Silverwing Star, and the Hua Jing family is one of them."
The Hua Jing family has five members with combat power of A-level or above, more than a dozen with B+ level, and a young master named Hua Jingzhi who is only 16 years old and has S-level fire-type superpowers. He is said to be extremely powerful.
The Hua Jing family specially spent a lot of money to customize an S-class mecha for him from another planet. It has just been transported back and probably hasn't been fused yet.
The other two families are the Ke family and the Simmons family. Although the specific circumstances of their families are uncertain, their top combat strength should be similar to that of the Hua Jing family, otherwise they would not be able to maintain the tripartite balance of power.
As for the government, they have a Silverwing Legion, whose commander, Tang Haohan, is an S-level combatant. His private guard is a ten-person elite squad, all of whom are A-level or B+ level or above.
All three major families had secretly tried to win over Tang Haohan, but he remained neutral, fighting only for the survival of Silverwing Star.
Of all the information Fu Chengxiang had gathered, this was all that was useful.
Xiao Bai's eyes lit up when he heard about the S-class mecha.
Today was the first time he had witnessed the power of a mecha. To be honest, his only advantage was his high level of ability. If it were a battle between equals, and the opponent had an S-class mecha, he probably would have had a hard time escaping unscathed.
"Alright! Let's take down the Hua Jing family first, and hopefully we can seize that S-class mech!" Xiao Bai made the final decision.
The slaves cheered. Many of them had experienced bloody battles with the zombies, only to be tricked into becoming miners. Their resentment was palpable.
Now that I have the chance to fight again, even if it means dying, it's better than being a cowardly miner forever!
Since the adults had decided to lead the miners in a rebellion, Matt began to make meticulous plans for them.
First, he instructed Fu Chengxiang to group the miners according to their respective areas of expertise, such as close combat, mech piloting and maintenance, medicine, commerce, special abilities, human resource management, and so on.
Then, send those skilled in commerce and management to confiscate the food from the guards and overseers, and to make reasonable plans and distributions.
As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach."
Those skilled in medicine, especially those with healing abilities, should first treat those who are good at fighting, so that they can recover to their best condition as soon as possible and prepare for battle.
After making these arrangements, he instructed Fu Chengxiang to lead his men to hide in the richest mining area. Matt judged that even if the Huajing family discovered the anomaly in the mining area, they would not be willing to use destructive weapons to destroy the rich mining area.
The reason why Hanake Saburo dared to use large-scale thermal weapons to bombard and collapse the mine tunnels in the mining area under Borg's jurisdiction was simply because mining there was nearing its end and there was not much valuable ore left.
Most importantly, the Hua Jing family would not believe that the slaves remained in the mining area after gaining their freedom.
In their view, once these people's suppression rings were unlocked, they would definitely scatter and flee immediately, and there was no way they would stay and rebel.
Zhuolun stepped forward and offered to repair the damaged mechs. He also said that if the adults could get the materials he needed, he could at least repair the 11 frozen mechs, since they were only damaged on the outer shell and the inside was intact.
The other 11 units, corroded by the sap from the mutated bone-corroding vines spawned by Bo Yiyan, had their outer shells and internal wiring damaged, making them impossible to repair.
Lele and Liulin planned to use these discarded mechs and some other ores from the mining area to try to forge weapons. They couldn't let the rebellious miners fight with their bare hands, could they?
The main force remained in the mining area, while Xiaobai, along with Bo Yiyan, Matt, Mina, and Maoli, took a small flying vehicle to the nearest branch of the Huajing family—Xia City.
Although they all want to find Achen and Zuoshan as soon as possible, their green pass codes are now on record by the authorities and Huajing family, and they will be hunted down no matter where they go.
On the contrary, Chen and his group, with a child and a woman on the verge of death, were less likely to attract the enemy's attention.
Rather than bringing danger to them, it's better to nip all danger in the bud. This is why Xiaobai chose to rebel instead of seeking out people first.
West Asia City is the second largest city in western Silverwing Star. It is a necessary route to the capital Silvermoon City and an important transportation hub connecting the west and central-eastern regions.
This place has the largest inland river port on Silverwing Star, and the longest river that runs through most of the planet—the Tuya River—flows through here.
All three major families have established branches in West Asia City, which is second only to the capital, Silvermoon City, in terms of prosperity.
When Xiaobai and his companions looked down at Xiya City from high above, they couldn't help but sigh. Although both had experienced great disasters, Silverwing Star had suffered much more damage than Green Algae Star, yet the buildings here still stood majestically and towering into the clouds.
After the aircraft descended to an altitude of 100 meters, it received a machine audio guidance prompt from the West Asia City low-altitude traffic monitoring station:
"Friendly reminder: Your aircraft has entered the low-altitude traffic control area of Xiya City. Please follow the designated route to the South Suburb Helipad for landing. From there, you can transfer to the Maglev bus to your destination. Have a pleasant trip!"
Following the instructions to the helipad was obviously impossible, so Mina used a tornado to sweep the five people up and quickly flew towards the Hua Jing family branch.
They retrieved this address from the personal computers of the frozen guards. Mao Li immediately copied the map, and Matt marked it with his mental power to ensure they were flying in the correct direction.
Mina's tornado appeared directly on the rooftop of a skyscraper where the Hua Jing family branch was located.
Xiaobai used his ice-freezing skill to freeze the entire building, while Matt used his mental network to set up a barrier, preventing information from being transmitted out of the building.
Mao Li quickly located the building's main control room, hacked into the mainframe, and completely severed the internal command transmission channels.
Having done all this, the group strolled leisurely to the top floor.
