Chapter 1302: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 76 (Part 2)

"What exactly does that mean?"

3pm

The hot temperature did not dampen the enthusiasm of the workers. Angus Construction has stopped work again. Most workers have been increasingly dissatisfied recently. There was a fee during the shutdown in the past, but now this fee is gone. Even if it was signed in the past The same goes for workers on long-term contracts.

This is the company headquarters of Angus Construction in District 57, located in the middle of the south. The foreman from a nearby construction site led most of the workers over. Everyone surrounded the 12-story Angus Construction Company headquarters with the door locked. This was counterproductive. Repeated starts and stops have made many workers feel dissatisfied. Work may only be started for half a month, but this month it has just started for 13 days, and work has been stopped again.

Some workers have not received their wages for more than 60 days. Although Angus Construction has said that the settlement will be clear before May 4th next month, so long has passed. After everyone communicated with each other in the workers' circle, they found that Angus Construction has not yet started settlement. As they said at the beginning, the settlement cycle is a bit long because of the huge amount, when connecting with the wallet management department, and because most workers require cash.

But now most people no longer believe this statement, but feel that Angus Construction will continue to default on arrears. Such repeated shutdowns are unacceptable to many people, and the cost of time and energy have been Great consumption.

More and more people gathered and waited in some cool places on the nearby streets. People from Section 5 had already carried out evacuation work, but most people just moved farther away and continued to watch.

Fortunately, the situation this time is different from the past. Many people are not making trouble and are just waiting quietly. People from Section 5 also asked the workers gathered near the Angus Construction Building to pay attention to avoid heatstroke to avoid heatstroke. On the street The traffic was not hindered. The last such large-scale riot was still fresh in the memory of many people. Everyone knew that if chaos was caused, it would cause harm to the city.

Many of these workers had participated in riots before. The economy of the south had almost collapsed after the last large-scale riots. It was only because Angus Construction started construction again that the economy of the south improved slightly.

3:19

A black car stopped at the steps of the General Affairs Office Square. Accompanied by the housekeeper Micah and the bodyguards of the following three cars, Violet stepped onto the steps. At this time, many people passing by on First Avenue had just When I saw it, I walked over involuntarily, wanting to take a look.

Violet was wearing a loose skirt and a sunhat with a low brim. She walked quickly onto the square. At this time, there were many clerks from the business department in the square. At the gate of the general affairs department, Locke had already run out in person with some council officers.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Angus, but I need you to run in such a hot weather, please!"

As soon as Locke came over, he bowed and made a gesture of invitation. When he lowered his head, he saw a nervous and haggard Violet.

"I wonder if Section Chief Alpha has been back recently?"

Violet shook her head. The reason she chose such a large sunhat that could almost cover the upper half of her face was because she didn't want anyone to see the haggardness and anxiety on her face.

"No!"

Locke smiled awkwardly. He didn't know what topic to talk about for a while, but the urgent problem now is that Angus's house has stopped work again. Locke also knows the reason for the stoppage. Avano fell ill and is still in the hospital. Because of excessive fatigue recently.

In today's Angus family, Avano is responsible for construction and technical issues, while Violet manages financial issues. Although Violet has told her husband many times that he does not have to worry about financial issues. However, it was impossible not to worry. In the end, Avano fell ill. In order to minimize mistakes, Avano would carefully check everything at each construction site.

Now that Avano is ill, the project can only be temporarily suspended. Avano's personal review began last year.

In the past, when the Angus family first started construction, due to crimes, riots, and the Hillman family, it was now in high debt. All of this has become unclear. The Angus family is currently facing Huge losses, Violet came to the General Affairs Section today just to get the 3 billion from the tax reserve fund of the Congress last month, so that he can settle wages and building materials expenses.

The current amount of wages and testing has reached 2.1 billion. In just three months, the funds have begun to dry up again. Now Violet must get the money and start settling wages. Most of them Those who manage accounts will collude with their construction teams to use their brains on taxes. Congress has not allowed anyone to review this part of the situation, but only requires the Angus family to review it themselves.

Now Violet's idea is to directly deduct taxes and give workers wages. Although most workers hope to receive full wages and pay taxes themselves, in fact most workers will not do it on their own in the short term. Taxes will be paid obediently only when the administrative department comes to visit them. However, as for the compulsory aspect of taxation, it is not yet mandatory for employees to pay taxes before they can get their wages.

Only some companies with long-term contracts do this, and for those temporary workers who do not have long-term contracts, although their wages are lower, most of them do not pay taxes.

Under the leadership of Locke, Violet followed Locke directly into his private lounge. Jin Mn and Vivian were both there. When they saw Violet, they hurriedly stood up and bowed to say hello. The current use of Congressional reserve tax funds It is no longer possible for the Executive Branch to have the final say as in the past, and at least three factional parliamentarian leaders need to be involved.

Everything needs to be signed by both the members of the parliament and the corresponding departments of the executive branch, and the details of the use of reserve tax revenue need to be available in all aspects.

"Wait a moment, Mrs. Angus, Wu Qun and the others should be arriving soon."

As soon as Vivian finished speaking, contact came from below. Wu Qun, Freya and Beckinsale had already arrived.

After Violet sat down, Vivian handed her a cup of tea. Jin Mn also knew that Violet was extremely anxious and sat next to Violet.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Angus. We have already taken care of everything. All you need to do is sign. The 3 billion congressional tax reserves will be transferred to your family's account in one second."

Violet hummed and just picked up the water glass, there was a knock on the door of the room. After Locke opened it, two council officers walked in with Wu Qun, Freya and Beckinsale. The three of them immediately came with Violet greeted.

In just a few minutes, everything was completed on the light and shadow screen of Jin Mn and Vivian. After Wu Qun and Freya nodded to each other, the two quickly signed the document, and then Beckinsale She also joined in, and the documents that had been prepared were quickly signed. In the end, only Violet's signature was left. The moment Violet signed her name, a prompt appeared on her phone, After opening, 3 billion has arrived in the Angus family's account. It is very clear that various project funds, as well as workers' wages and other construction-related settlement funds.

Violet stood up.

"Thank you for your assistance."

After speaking, she drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, turned around and walked out without anyone stopping her.

"What a very determined lady!"

Wu Qun said with emotion, at this time Locke took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet.

"Drink a little first and then go back, if nothing happens."

Wu Qun smiled happily and nodded. Freya shook her head. She couldn't drink. She just gave birth to her second child, a boy, more than a month ago. But Freya returned to work on the seventh day after giving birth. , I am still breastfeeding and cannot drink alcohol.

"Sister Freya, I'm not telling you, you should at least take a good rest for a month."

Vivian said, taking a long sip from the wine glass. Jin Mian also nodded and took a sip. There were still many things waiting for them to go back to deal with in Section 7, but the two decided to be lazy in the General Affairs Section for two hours. After relaxing, Wu Qun looked at Vivian as before.

"Old Wu, I've heard a little bit about it."

Vivian was only halfway through speaking when Locke frowned.

"Don't even think about Wu Qun."

Beckinsale laughed loudly, took the wine handed over by Vivian, and drank it in one gulp.

"What are you thinking about, Lao Luo?"

Locke held a glass of wine angrily and handed it to Wu Qun. He took a disapproving sip and gestured with his thumbs.

"Military expenditures for Section 3 will gradually increase starting from this year, and the future is not optimistic!"

Freya pointed out such a problem to the point. For a moment, the relief on everyone's faces disappeared, and Locke sighed.

"To balance the current problem, both of us have to find a way to solve it. After all, if Section 3 continues to have nothing to do, there is no need for Section 3 to continue to exist."

Beckinsale nodded.

"I'm afraid this march to the barrier zone will not be easy. Block the news!"

Locke Jiahui thought so too, Jin Mian said with a smile.

"There are many armed criminals stationed in the barrier area, and they will not sit still and wait to be killed."

The 3rd Division's March Operation Plan for the Barrier Zone has not been announced to anyone in the city. The 3rd Division has submitted some matters that need to be done by the 3rd Division. The establishment of some armaments stations in the Barrier Zone has not been approved yet. This Planning is risky.

Congress cannot spend so much money to build an armament station for Section 3 now. It can only proceed slowly. Only when the appropriate time comes, can this bill be passed.

"I just hope the plan goes smoothly!"

Locke sighed. According to the investigation of Section 2, there are currently at least nearly 40,000 criminals stationed in the barrier area. These are the criminals who escaped to the barrier area during the crime investigations over the years. As long as they are caught, If you clearly explain what you did in the city, you can get a certain degree of sentence reduction.

If these criminals are tracked down, a sum of black money should be recovered, which can be directly invested in construction.

"No matter what, this incident is a major test for all of us. It's the problem of the criminal!"

Wu Qun put away his smile and said seriously.

Locke glanced at the time anxiously, 3:38.

"Hope everything goes well."

The city wall near the ravine at the eastern guard station is full of lifts. Many lifts are from the prison department. They are still waiting for the signal. Once the criminals in the barrier area are caught, they will be sent to prison. Go to the temporary detention center that has been set up near Section 12, where you will make confessions while serving your sentence, and then wait for trial before officially serving your sentence.

If the criminals resist, they will be shot directly. At this time, the people in the prison department who are still waiting in the takeoff and landing machine feel a little uneasy. They only need to wait for the green flare to be launched. They can go directly to the area where the flare is launched according to the distance calculated by AI, and then find the location accurately according to the identification signal on the ground.

"The prison department is already overcrowded. If we bring back so many criminals now, we will be under great pressure."

Several members of Section 11 standing near a takeoff and landing machine are smoking and chatting.

"That's right, let those guys die in the barrier area."

Someone smiled bitterly.

Suddenly, a green light ball exploded in the sky in the northeast of the eastern guard station. Immediately, several people from Section 11 entered the takeoff and landing machine and started the medium-sized takeoff and landing machine directly. Everyone took out their weapons and released the safety of their weapons. After loading, the takeoff and landing machine slowly rose.

Ling Hong quietly watched more than 100 criminals lying on the ground with their hands on their heads. Five teams had blocked everything near this dilapidated town. The bodies of more than 30 criminals were being carried, and some staff were setting up communication equipment stations.

Ling Hong lit a cigarette and watched the bodies of criminals being moved to a relatively intact house for NDA collection and comparison testing. As long as they were compared with the NDA residues in some crimes in the city, they would roughly know what crimes they had committed.

There were no casualties in the three departments and five teams. After a six-hour march, Ling Hong's team arrived at a place where criminals gathered. As expected, they encountered resistance from weapons and mutants. However, Ling Hong quickly arranged the tactics and led the assault team to directly assault, making these criminals surrender easily.

According to the criminals' explanation, their food was all liquid food from the north. Ling Hong had also seen this kind of liquid food without any labels. It was an ordinary sealed metal can for storage. People had already piled up the composition of these liquid foods for analysis, and there would be results soon.

A team leader ran out of a room.

"Master Ling Hong, the composition ratio is similar to that of the 67 companies producing liquid food on the market. Among them, there are three companies with the highest similarity, but none of them exceeds 50%."

Ling Hong looked suspiciously at the pile of liquid food that was searched out on the ground. These liquid foods may be produced in some small workshops in the city that are specially supplied to criminals.

At this time, in the distance, three take-off and landing machines from Section 11 flashed red light rapidly and flew over. A member of Section 3 holding a short-range signal identification stick stood on a higher place.

Soon, three take-off and landing machines hovered over the dilapidated town and slowly fell. A large number of confiscated weapons and liquid food, including some equipment at the gathering place of criminals, were moved to a take-off and landing machine, and the criminals who were lying on the ground with their hands on their heads were all put on collars and handcuffs. They registered their names one by one in front of a take-off and landing machine and entered the take-off and landing machine.

Many people entered the take-off and landing plane with embarrassment on their faces. Many people were still thinking about ways after surrendering, but in the end, seeing the members of the Operations Department carrying a large number of weapons coming from all directions, they could only raise their hands and surrender, and no longer had any idea of ​​escaping.

Beep beep

Ling Hong immediately took out a short-range communicator.

"Ling Hong, there is a place 8 kilometers west of you, the communication is interrupted, I am rushing there, you move quickly."

Ling Hong threw away the cigarette butt, summoned the captains of the five teams, and after quickly arranging the matters, put on the veil, and instantly ejected, and red particles floated around the body.

5 minutes ago

A gathering place for criminals located in a col. Two teams of the Operations Department easily captured this small col less than 1 kilometer long with only more than 40 criminals gathered. There were many facilities built next to the mountain wall in the past. Because the col is horizontal, it just avoids the strong wind from east to west. It is a relatively comfortable gathering place.

The breakthrough went very smoothly. The criminals had just finished their meal and were resting in the facility. No one was on guard.

After the two criminals were killed, they surrendered quickly. At this time, the captains of the two teams were communicating. One of them took out a signal gun and walked quickly towards the entrance of the col, wanting to fire a signal flare in an open place.

The captain held the signal gun in his hand and aimed it at the sky. The wind and sand were not too strong at this time. He just pulled the trigger, and instantly accompanied by splattered blood and a gunshot hidden in the wind and sand, the captain's head was smashed and fell to the ground.

"Enemy attack, it's a long-range sniper, find a bunker."

Accompanied by a loud shout, the moment the section member was about to find a bunker, a ball of blood exploded in his chest, and he fell straight to the ground.

Gunshots rang out, and one after another, people from Section 3 fell to the ground, completely unaware of where the gunshots came from, and the accuracy was extremely high.

Several members of Section 3 who had already rushed into the house trembled and had taken out communicators.

"Team 023, call for support, we"

Whoosh

Accompanied by a rapid sound of breaking through the air, flames instantly gushed out, accompanied by a violent explosion, and the entire small house was instantly blown to pieces.

Dense gunfire rang out, and many of the surrendered criminals were shot into sieves before they could enter the house. The surviving members of the 3rd Section team could only hold their guns and fire back frantically. They could already see the figures appearing in the chaos, but accompanied by some white and red particles, they could be confirmed to be mutants.

At this time, on the top of a hill in this small valley, there were many elite mutants of the Hillman family lying down. On the tops of the hills on both sides of the valley, there were high-power signal jammers.

The gunfire continued to fade away, and the 50 semi-mechanical biochemical mutants below had completed their mission.

Creak

Accompanied by a crisp mechanical friction sound, a mutant walked towards a house. The heat detector built into his eyes had clearly felt that there were still three people curled up in a half-collapsed ruin.

"Found the target!"

Accompanied by a mechanical voice, a mutant's eyes were full of sadness, his hands tore off the veil on his cheeks, and his mouth began to fall apart. Whoosh, whoosh, two pocket missiles flew over in an instant.

With a violent explosion, 50 modified humans quickly floated into the air, with two white halos on their feet. Soon they reached the windward side and entered a take-off and landing machine that had just removed its optical camouflage. The take-off and landing machine took off silently.

Bang

Accompanied by a violent landing sound, Ling Hong stared quietly at the place in front of her where many places were still smoking. She pulled off her veil in anxiety and looked at the dead team leader on the ground and the signal gun that fell to the side. After she picked it up, she immediately switched to emergency mode and took off with an orange signal flare.

Ling Hong's communicator rang again.

"All wiped out, Team 023 and Team 024."

Ling Hong squatted on the ground, lifted up the dead team leader with telekinesis, and came to a small, messy valley. There were corpses everywhere, and black smoke was still coming out of many places. It seemed that the battle had only taken place for a short while. Ling Hong began to jump quickly, and soon came to the mountain wall on the right side of the valley. She squatted on the ground and checked carefully, and indeed found some traces.

Ling Hong also saw the bodies of some criminals. It can be imagined that someone with heavy firepower ambushed on this mountain wall less than 100 meters from the ground, and then evacuated quickly.

Ling Hong put down the signal identifier and started running. Soon he ran around the valley, but still did not find any traces.

A number of Section 4 take-off and landing aircraft have landed outside the col, and a large number of Section 4 members have come down. Everyone is surprised by the scene in front of them. Ling Hong returned to the Section 4 members, and some nearby teams on the normal marching route also began to move towards this side. The construction of the signal transmission station is still in progress, and long-distance communication is not possible.

Whoosh Whoosh

In the distant sky, several red emergency signals were launched, just near an area, and Ling Hong immediately ran over there quickly.

In an old and somewhat large town located northwest of the small col, 10 teams carried out fan-shaped fire suppression, which has temporarily controlled the situation, but several team leaders still fired emergency reinforcement flares.

Fierce gunfire broke out in the middle of this relatively large town. The team members did not break into the town, but carried out fire suppression at the edge of the town and asked the criminals inside to surrender.

Whoosh

Accompanied by a violent sound of breaking through the air, a small missile flew over, but a few seconds ago, the staff in this area had already dispersed. After the explosion, a staff member was hit by the shock wave and injured, and was quickly pulled back by two team members to evacuate.

Whoosh Whoosh

The people from Section 3 began to fight back with small missile launchers with heavy firepower, and many buildings in the town collapsed instantly.

The whole place has become a battlefield, and at this time all the team leaders have ordered the team members to retreat 1 kilometer. Many people were hit and injured by stray bullets, but fortunately they did not die.

"You beasts, go to hell!"

Accompanied by a roar, on a street in the town, several mutants rushed over with weapons, and immediately several mutants in the team went directly over, facing the flying bullets, and accurately contained the large area of ​​flying bullets.

The sky in the distance flashed with bursts of red light.

"Confirm the evacuation signal! Over!"

This voice sounded in the short-range communicators of the team leaders of the 10 teams.

"Confirmed! Over."

A black aircraft with a unique shape, a long and pointed front and a wide and round back, instantly passed over the top of the town.

There was a rumble, and in an instant, a violent explosion occurred in the center of the town, and the explosions were directly connected. Then the black aircraft passed over the town again, and one side of the town was also caught in the sea of ​​fire after the explosion.

At this time, the 10 teams that had evacuated nearly 500 to 600 meters began to turn around and took out heavy firepower weapons and began to attack the town frantically.

Bombing after round, until the whole town was completely reduced to a sea of ​​fire, the black aircraft began to pass over the heads of the members of the 3rd team and continued to return.

"The bombing mission is over! Over."

A total of 49 members were injured, including 3 seriously injured. The take-off and landing aircraft of Section 4 has landed, and the 3 seriously injured people have been carried into the take-off and landing aircraft. The people of Section 4 started the operation directly.

Led by the mutant team, 10 teams of people waited for the flames to go out, and then they began to circle the town and shouted for the surviving guys to surrender. Several teams had already approached.

Ling Hong had also arrived with several directors. She led people directly into the town that had been reduced to ruins. She only saw most of the corpses. The bombing was very thorough. This was the latest directional bomber authorized by Congress to be used in this march mission to deal with such a large-scale gathering of criminals.

Ling Hong approached the center little by little. She covered her mouth. After seeing a charred corpse in the ruins, she turned her head away reluctantly, and a trace of burning sensation was born in her heart.

It was a woman and a child!

Ling Hong exhaled, and at this moment, on the left side of Ling Hong, there was a faint sound, and in an instant, several furious roars and gunshots rang out. Ling Hong closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and turned around. The moment she turned around, she had ejected, and the oncoming bullets were instantly deflected.

With a flash of violent red lightning, several people came out of a basement with its lid exposed, opened their mouths and eyes wide, and fell to the ground with black smoke all over their bodies.

"What on earth are we doing!"
