Chapter 126 Is it resistance or oppression?
Chi Wan went out for thirteen consecutive days to kill pollutants.
On the first day of killing the contaminated bodies, I was unfamiliar with the route and was too focused on killing, so I didn't return to the Black Building until late at night.
To her surprise, Tang Lian was actually waiting outside.
The moment he saw her come back, he said nothing and walked back in silence.
Chi Wan guessed that he must have sensed her mental power or energy.
But since he didn't ask, she didn't say anything.
When she left the next day, she left enough food on the table for the three of them.
This is the fourteenth day of the Chiwan Operation.
She would move after sleeping for almost five or six hours, pushing herself very hard.
The polluted bodies from the heavily polluted areas are already familiar with her. There are even polluted bodies from other areas who come to watch this thin, mysterious and powerful person who is wrapped tightly in a black robe with no trace of skin visible.
Chi Wan walked forward as if no one was around under the gazes of a group of human pollutants.
At first, there were human contaminants that wanted to kill her because of their desire for fresh human flesh, but she would kill them immediately. From the fourth day onwards, no human contaminants attacked her anymore, and they would even spontaneously protect her when foreign human contaminants tried to attack her.
Even the contaminated bodies who wanted to kill her at the beginning came to see her, and therefore did not ask Tang Lian for human flesh again.
She was like a miracle, allowing these polluted bodies who had fallen into the quagmire to see themselves who once tried hard to live.
After getting to know each other better, Chi Wan started to take bigger actions.
When she encountered a group of high-level pollutants, she would use her cannon to bombard them over a large area.
The explosion sent black soil and rotten flesh flying all over the sky.
As the kill was completed, the occasional muffled cheers from a human contamination body could be heard behind him:
"Damn it...Kill...Kill him..."
She turned her head and could only see a group of human contamination bodies standing there with gray-black limbs, green hair, and completely black pupils, looking like zombies, neither human nor ghost. She couldn't tell which one was speaking.
There seemed to be an insurmountable barrier between them and her.
Chi Wan withdrew his gaze, not daring to look any longer.
It will be depressing and suffocating.
It will also be...heartbreaking.
As the battle was about to get dark, Chi Wan felt a violent surge of energy in his body, and then it was as if a bottleneck was opened.
[Breakthrough, Super SSS Level 1! ]
Hearing the system's voice, Chi Wan was delighted. She put away her weapon and prepared to go home.
Because I was in a good mood, I nodded and greeted familiar human pollutants when I saw them along the way.
But when they were almost at the Black Building, Chi Wan saw from afar Tang Lian and several others being forced to kneel downstairs. Beside them stood several tall men wearing golden light armor combat uniforms.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she guessed the reason. She immediately grabbed the black soil on the ground and covered her face, hair, neck and hands with it.
The black soil smells extremely bad, accompanied by a rotten smell, which is extremely unpleasant.
He lowered his hood again and put on his mask, then walked over.
The man in the golden combat uniform saw her from a distance and said sternly:
"Tang Lian, you took in outsiders without permission and didn't report it. I'll withhold one month's worth of food from you."
As he said that, he kicked Tang Lian.
Tang Lian did not resist and was kicked to the ground.
A man in a golden combat uniform walked up and roughly ripped off Chi Wan's mask without saying a word. The stench made them take a few steps back. When they looked at her pitch-black face that was impossible to tell her gender, they instantly lost all thoughts.
"Starting tomorrow, he and he will have to go to work!"
"If you don't see four people tomorrow, you won't survive."
They left these words and went away.
Chi Wan followed the silent Tang Lian into the building. His steps were a little bumpy, and the old man followed at the end with a staggering gait.
The air was especially dead.
Staring at the man's tattered heels, Chi Wan suddenly spoke:
"Why don't you resist?"
She had seen his abilities, he was at least SS-rank.
Tang Lian paused, then continued walking forward, as if he hadn't heard it.
Even if he didn't say it, Chi Wan knew the answer. He must have felt unable to resist.
She quickened her pace, overtook him, and stood directly opposite him.
"Of course one person is not strong enough, but what about a group of people, all of them?"
Can't all the "lower class" of people unite to resist and gain a glimmer of hope?
There was no light or electricity in the dim room. Tang Lian looked at Chi Wan with a dead gaze, without any emotion.
Then he just walked around her and continued walking forward.
Chi Wan pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Only the old man came over slowly:
“Silly girl, I told you at the beginning that this is not a place for people to stay, but there has been no spacecraft on the planet for more than ten years.
Occasionally, outsiders who stumbled in would return to the cabin and leave as soon as they got off the spacecraft."
"If you want to leave this galaxy... you can only go to Paradise."
The old man lowered his head and frowned, his brows furrowed into deep furrows.
"Those of us who aren't born into noble families can never get in, but you're an outsider, and Nova loves beautiful women. This is the only way you can get in..."
As the old man spoke, he seemed to be thinking of something. His cloudy eyes were a little confused, and he muttered incoherently:
"That's not right. If you relied on your beauty to get in, you would most likely be taken into his harem. How could he let you go..."
But he seemed to have thought of something, his old eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was a little excited:
"But what if, what if he doesn't like your looks and really lets you go..."
Chi Wan didn't know why he was so excited and wanted to go forward to comfort him, but the old man started coughing violently. The cough sounded like a rusty saw pulling violently, which made people tremble with fear.
She frowned, and any comfort seemed unnecessary at this moment.
The next day, Chi Wan followed Tang Lian and others to work.
This was her first time going to the place where Tang Lian and his team worked.
The car drove for several kilometers, and the road was full of skinny people, all walking in the direction the car was heading.
Obviously, they all went to work.
In the sky above the dark clouds, one can faintly see the huge city in the sky - Paradise, which is as huge as a mountain range.
A golden light can be seen shining through the black fog, which is brighter than sunlight.
It makes people yearn for it.
The long ladder that looks like a ladder to heaven is extremely steep from a distance, and there are countless large vertical floating ladders around it that are constantly transporting supplies.
If Chi Wan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard for him to imagine that this was man-made. This is enough to show how prosperous this galaxy once was.
The car stopped.
In front, a dense and huge crowd of people divided into countless teams and gathered around the assembly line machines.
Small surveillance machines fly around in the air, continuously scanning the work progress of these "lower-class people".
Chi Wan was assigned to the most difficult and tiring assembly group along with Tang Lian and others.
They need to assemble ten iron boxes of metal instruments with a dozen "lower-class people" today.
The instrument is bulky and has sharp cutting surfaces. If you are not careful, you may get cut. Chi Wan carefully avoided the metal cutting surfaces during the assembly process.
She had been fighting with swords, knives, guns and cannons for a long time, and she had honed her strength, so everything went smoothly.
But it’s different for the elderly.
Soon he was so tired that he fell to the ground, and even got scratched on his arm by a metal fragment, causing his already skinny arm to bleed.
"What are you doing? Are you looking for death?"
The man holding a stick and wearing a golden combat uniform spoke in a loud voice.
The old man struggled to get up, but it was in vain as his arms trembled violently.
"You old, undead bastard!"
The stick was raised high and then dropped, hitting the old man's back with a loud noise, the sound of bones hitting.
In just one blow, the old man fainted from the pain.
Chi Wan paused, his eyes beneath the hood looking at the scene in shock.
Everyone around just glanced at him indifferently, their hands moving non-stop.
Tang Lian rushed over and knelt on the ground: "Please, don't hit him, I can do double the work and do his share as well!"
He was servile and spoke in a humble tone.
Two more men in golden combat uniforms came over.
One of them recognized him, grinned maliciously, and said in a sharp and sarcastic voice:
"Hey, isn't this Tang Lian!"
"I met you again today!"
He was obviously a high-ranking official, as the shoulder straps on his golden combat uniform were clearly different from those of the others.
The man pointed the long knife at Tang Lian and said sternly:
"Come on, everyone stop what you are doing and look over here!"
Behind him, another man in a golden combat uniform shouted:
"It's teaching time. Let's remember this sinner and his sins!"
The senior executive put away his sword, raised his belt, and began to pace around Tang Lian, his voice becoming even louder:
"It's been a while since I judged you, Tang Lian.
Your father got into trouble today, you kowtow to us a hundred times on his behalf, and then we can let this go!"
Tang Lian said nothing, just leaned over and slammed his hands on the ground with a loud bang.
After a few strokes, blood appeared.
The senior executive continued:
"Everyone, take a good look! This is the fate of the criminal who led the rebellion six years ago!"
"Not only did his wife and mother get killed, but you lowly people were also implicated!"
"Alas, you are indeed pitiful. If it weren't for that large-scale rebellion six years ago, the Emperor wouldn't have treated you so harshly...
If you want to blame someone, blame Tang Lian. He overestimated his own abilities and still thought he was the Supreme Admiral of the Interstellar Legion. You, the Supreme Admiral, are nothing but shit in front of our Emperor!"
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Their sharp voices and the "dong dong" sound of Tang Lian's continuous kowtow intertwined with each other, shocking Chi Wan deeply.
She thought of the way he looked at her when she asked him why he didn't resist, and suddenly she understood everything.
It turns out that he once led a resistance.
It just failed, and the cost of this failure was extremely heavy.
Extremely, tragic.
The senior executive spoke, glancing at the pool of blood on the ground and Tang Lian who kept kowtowed, his voice slowing down a bit:
"By the way, Tang Lian, you begged us to let your daughter go to paradise half a year ago, right?"
Tang Lian finally stopped kowtowing.
Chi Wan saw his hands stuck deep in the mud and his bloody fingernails almost turned outward.
"You don't really think your daughter escaped successfully thanks to her so-called classmates."
He leaned over and smiled softly in his ear:
"She died the day after she went up there. Do you know how she died?
Hiss—it’s so white!
Hahahahahaha!”
