Special Chapter. People of Light and Darkness (Part 2)

A large number of boiling voices rose and fell, and there were cheering crowds everywhere. Ran Zai stood quietly by the window, watching the lights on the street, which was not seen in the past twenty days.

But now Congress announced that the artificial sun will arrive as scheduled tomorrow morning to light up the city at 6 o'clock, which is indeed an exciting thing.

Most people who have been bathing in this darkness for a long time have been relieved of their anxiety.

"Grandpa!"

Ran Zai couldn't help but glance at the dark area in the distance. Those were occupied areas. It seemed that Congress had cut off the water and electricity there and was ready to deal with this unprecedented situation. Everything in front of him looked a little ridiculous and even boring to Ran Zai.

A long time ago, Ran Zai realized that when he was seven or eight years old, he already knew too many things. The reason why he felt ridiculous was that these people who also belonged to the bottom of the society were just indifferent to the serious situation that was happening now.

Looking at those cheering people, they didn't realize that the bottom class, like those in the occupied areas, had a hard life every day and always suffered misery. The little value left was exploited cheaply. In Ran Zai's opinion, this was the result of long-term exploitation.

But no one would be alert. Once this problem is solved smoothly, the misery will be repeated again and again. The bottom class has no future, because the city will not stop developing, and the bottom class can only become the cornerstone of urban development and the bricks and tiles that build the city's glory.

No one spoke up, and no one was willing to speak up for the current situation. Now everyone just wants to get to 6 o'clock tomorrow morning and bathe in the sun. Apart from this, there are no more requirements.

"Why take up arms? Why wail? Why cry? Why are you angry? Why are you unwilling? Because there is no equality from birth."

This inequality from birth will be continuously magnified as time goes by, and eventually lead to one tragedy after another, while those in the upper class, no one is willing to do anything, or some are willing, and some have tried, but they are caught in the huge vortex of the city and are finally powerless.

Ran Zai often thinks of Peristan's special drama "Hero Zero", and he thinks of it every time at this time.

"Anyone can be a hero, and heroes exist in everyone's heart!"

Ran Zai has thought about it and thought about it, but there is no answer. All of this is too heavy and complicated for him who is only in his teens.

In Ran Zai's view, the best era of the city from the past to the present has ended with the fall of Alpha. She should not have ended in such a tragic way, but the fact is that everything has ended with the fall of Alpha.

In the chaotic years after Alpha's fall, countless tragedies have occurred. In the past, these tragedies could be taken seriously and treated fairly, but now it is different.

Grandpa ignited the most vulnerable points in most people's hearts, and finally these points were infinitely magnified and turned into anger. Anger has long taken action. Looking at the flames that kept appearing in the night sky in the distance, Ran Zai probably knew that the war would start soon, and the Congress would not agree to any conditions of those in the occupied areas.

Such a breakthrough must not be opened, just like the case of Hydra. Although it is unknown what the five judges who made the judgment at that time felt, Ran Zai can be sure that if Hydra is found not guilty, there will be countless bad consequences in the future. This judgment is to give a warning to the entire management.

In the following years, Alpha has been improving the system of managers, almost to the point of being harsh, but now all this is no different from the past.

Alpha's problem is the same. Once what she does pleases the law, the legal system established by the efforts of countless people in Brilliant City for decades will collapse.

The same thing happened with the previous vote. This is something that should not be decided by the majority, because the right decision is often in the hands of a few people.

These things have been affected by the boiling public opinion to some extent, but the actual result is in line with the word right.

The same is true for this matter. Congress will never allow any breakthroughs. Although there are many of these people, they will never be exempted. If they are exempted, once this head is opened, such problems will appear countless times in the future.

The gods are very clear that when things show signs, they must be suppressed with great force, or even buried, otherwise, such a small flame will ignite everything.

The room was filled with laughter, and Ran Zai couldn't help but smile. During the time he lived here, Ran Zai was happy because the couple was like the warm sun.

Only this degree of sun can send warmth into people's hearts and make people feel happy and happy.

At this time, as the door of the room was pushed open, Ran Zai smiled and turned back, watching Su Xin walk up with dinner on her face.

"Xiao Ran, do you want to go downstairs to eat?"

Ran Zai nodded, then looked back at the dark night sky. A blue light flashed by, and the smile on his lips faded a little.

"What are you going to do?"

Su Xin looked at this strange child in confusion, and then walked over.

"It will be fine."

Ran Zai smiled.

"Sister Su Xin, it won't get better. If the sun rises tomorrow, everyone in those areas will be doomed."

Ran Zai's expression became gloomy, Su Xin laughed disapprovingly, touched Ran Zai's head and said.

"It doesn't matter if it's over or not, after all, someone will take action, right?"

Ran Zai smiled and shook his head. It was useless no matter who he was at this time.

5:27

"What's the use of doing this? Don't you two work in vain."

A section officer from Section 7 sighed and looked at the several demolished houses in front of him. They had just completed the cleanup of the ruins and the assessment of the damage. He looked at the two sections who had been removed from Section 12 to assist. The members were still writing notes on the nearby wall. On the one hand, it was to let the members of Section 3 who would retreat later clearly realize that they could retreat from here, and on the other hand, it was to make it easier to estimate the losses later.

Li Ang looked at Ye Jiao, who was still busy next to her. Her cheeks were already red from the cold, and her fingers were like radishes. She had severe frostbite, although he was not much better.

"Master Luo, we are just making a few marks for convenience later."

The section officer ignored the two men, but opened the door of a nearby restaurant and called his men in.

"So lax!"

Ye Jiao murmured softly, and Li Ang smiled and patted her back.

"I can't help it, Xiaoye, but why did you come to Section 11? I'm really surprised. Isn't your grandfather the section chief of Section 12! Why would you be assigned to Section 11? Although the work of managing prisoners is free and well-paid , but it’s so boring.”

Ye Jiao glanced at Li Ang and continued working.

"I came here myself."

Li Ang didn't ask any more questions. This beautiful girl was usually taciturn, but when she did things, she had a stubbornness beyond ordinary people.

The two have been partners for many years. At this time, Ye Jiao glanced at Li Ang, as if she wanted to ask something, but she was a little embarrassed to speak out. Li Ang said bluntly.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask, Xiaoye!"

"You were transferred from Section 7 because you helped that Miss Niya! You know why you helped her."

Li Ang laughed loudly, then looked at Ye Jiao seriously and said.

"Who said we are best friends? I have known that savage and crude young lady since I was very young."

The corner of Ye Jiao's mouth raised slightly. The two had been working together for quite some time, and they cooperated very well with each other, often dealing with problems together.

"Go to the next place."

Ye Jiao said, and Li Ang snorted. They had already made suggestions to the senior management, but the senior management did not adopt their opinions. The reason was that there were simply not enough manpower. The two of them glanced at the dozens of people still in the restaurant and started to We took a break for tea, but we still started walking.

Along the way, many people could be seen on the streets. Li Ang helplessly looked back at the dark occupied area behind him from time to time, because there were always bursts of gunfire.

Li Ang also thought about what the future would be like, but in the end he didn't dare to think about it anymore, because it was unnecessary for grassroots personnel in their position.

Time passed by, and at 6:03, a bunch of people were waiting to eat in the cafeteria of the General Affairs Department, and the atmosphere was filled with joy. However, at this time, there was a girl from Section 8 holding her hands. Standing quietly in the cafeteria, next to the elevator, as if waiting for someone.

Everyone who saw the girl sighed without exception. This beautiful girl was Pullman's daughter Letty. In the past few years, everyone had known it. Many people stayed away from her, especially her. The previous incident of sending many people from interest groups to prison made her even more famous.

Because Letty always contradicted many people, especially when she assisted Niya, the second daughter of the Angus family, it gave many people in the General Affairs Department a headache. During that time, she basically worked every day for three days. Having to come to the General Affairs Department once made many people in the department miserable.

"Miss Charles, may I ask your Excellency the steward, have they finished their meeting?"

Letty saw a female director who had just stepped out of the elevator and immediately approached her and asked. The female director named Ciel laughed awkwardly.

"Take care of them"

Before Charles could finish speaking, Locke Jiahui and his wife Yu Wanrou came out of the elevator with a tired look on their faces. The couple planned to eat first, but Letty immediately ran over and brought up a light and shadow screen.

"Your Excellency, General Manager, please take a look at this legal document. I have compiled in detail the identification opinions on the criminal determination of people in the rebel area, as well as the handling opinions that may be more appropriate based on the current situation."

Letty bowed respectfully. Locke looked embarrassed. He swallowed. His head had been about to explode for the whole day and he no longer wanted to read the document.

"I understand, Letty, please submit it to the corresponding department first, and I will come back later."

"Please take a look at the Governor now. This is very important. Isn't Congress going to solve the problems in the occupied areas at 0 o'clock tonight? There are only a few hours left."

Locke Jiahui swallowed a mouthful. The smell of rice in the cafeteria already made him hungry, and Yu Wanrou sighed.

"Let's watch while we eat. Your name is Letty. She's the daughter of that guy Pullman!"

Yu Wanrou asked and Letty nodded.

"We'll get food first, and you can get one for yourself. Just come up later when you're done eating."

Letty nodded and ran over quickly. Then Yu Wanrou pulled Locke and quickly took the food that had been prepared before turning and entering the elevator.

"They want to tire me out."

Locke said, and Yu Wanrou chuckled.

"I think it would be a good thing for our business department to have a few more serious people like that kid."

Locke sighed. When he saw Letty, he thought of Michelle. She was also a little girl who gave him a lot of headaches. Thinking about what Michelle would be like when she climbed up in the future, Locke felt anxious. He I'm not used to this endless work attitude.

"I think it's better to transfer Michelle to the General Affairs Department."

Yu Wanrou muttered, and Locke looked at her in horror and said.

"Don't, it's not to tire me out."

"If such a good talent is placed in other subjects, I think it will be overqualified."

Locke laughed. As soon as he returned to the private rest area, he saw on a light and shadow screen that a report on the new round of relief food distribution had been prepared. Locke hurried over, signed it immediately and sent it to Section 12.

This report was made by Leona. It would be sent three times a day, morning, noon and evening. Almost every detail had been considered and perfected. Locke had hardly read it in the past few days. He would sign it and send it directly to Section 12. However, 12 The department will distribute relief food for the next day based on this report.

After Yu Wanrou took a casual look, she laughed.

"This girl is pretty good. She's even better than Keying. She's really a humanoid computer."

Locke sighed. He was promoted to the position of secretary at such a young age. He was indeed very capable. However, there were rumors that this little girl was too lazy in life.

7pm

Located at a blockade in the east, a large number of Section 3 personnel were queuing up to receive food. After Tianhen led the team members to receive the food, they came to a place with few people. Many people were discussing It’s about retreating after eating later.

"This is the best decision I have ever made, the decision of the senior management."

Owen said with a smile. Xima next to Tianhen had serious eyes, as did Tianhen. The two of them were slightly away from some team members.

"Captain Tianhen, do you think this is really an order issued by the higher-ups?"

Tianhen shook his head.

"Based on past circumstances, such an order would not have been possible."

Tianhen and Xima already felt something strange the moment they saw the order. This order was most likely issued by Osman. After all, most of the matters in Section 3 have been handled by secretary Zijuan in these years, and she cannot issue them. Such an order.

"Even this order was not issued by the section chief."

Seema gnawed on the bread and read the order.

The wording and sentences of this order appear to be more accurate, and the details are very strict. It does not look like it was issued by Zijuan. Possible situations that may occur during the retreat are listed in detail. The order requires them to be on time at 7:30. Evacuate 2 kilometers back. Once people in the occupied area begin to attack, retreat directly to 5 kilometers away.

Carry out reverse encirclement according to the encirclement plan listed previously. The document also mentioned that click bullets should be used as much as possible. Today at noon, each of them was equipped with a click pistol with automatic aiming function and 30 rounds. Click on the bullet.

"Someone is planning something."

Tianhen looked into the distance. In the past few days, he often saw the crazy woman running around. Tianhen smiled helplessly.

"With such a large number of troops, it only takes three hours to completely wipe out the rebels in the occupied area."

Xima shifted her gaze slightly, looked at Owen, and then shook her head.

"This is too cruel."

"cruel?"

Tianhen laughed disapprovingly.

"This can no longer be measured by cruelty. Broken things can be destroyed directly. And isn't this problem the time to highlight the role of our three departments?"

Xima doesn't agree with Tianhen's statement.

"Captain Tianhen, I think it's better to consider some things based on human life."

Tianhen does not intend to gather Xima to argue, and he does not object to Xima's statement. After all, like Owen, she is very kind at heart. Tianhen does not hate this kind of kindness, but feels it is very valuable. It is a pity that Such a small kindness cannot solve most problems.

After eating, the people from Section 3 began to pack up, and then under the orders of the respective section officers, they began to withdraw with weapons and equipment. At this time, most of the people waiting in the houses in the neighborhood also noticed. 3 subjects move.

"They don't want to use any weapons of mass destruction, right?"

A man holding a gun muttered. For a moment, many people in the room who were still eating looked over in horror, and immediately a man laughed.

"It's impossible. Once weapons of mass destruction are used, there will be no way for people to live here. They will definitely agree to our request."

At this time, an old man in the corner of the room looked at the young people with a slightly bitter look and sighed.

Time was approaching, 8:41

Niya tiredly took the dry food in her hand, stuffed it into her mouth randomly, chewed it, and drank a sip of water. Many people in the special management team around her were nervous, because once the people in the area began to attack, they needed to shoulder the work of division and arrest.

"What's wrong, don't you have confidence? I have already told you that one person can arrest 50 people. Can't you do it so easily?"

Many mutants in the special management team laughed awkwardly.

"Don't joke, Master Niya, we are not as strong as you."

Niya lit a cigarette, bit it in her mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke, stood up and looked at the block outside.

"There are nearly 2,000 special management teams. If one person arrests 50 people, that's 100,000 people. It can instantly relieve a lot of pressure. Moreover, not all people will participate in the battle. Many people may stay at home. The number of people participating in the battle will not exceed 200,000 at most."

"By the way, Master Niya, how many people do you plan to arrest?"

Niya smiled mysteriously.

"Leave the arrest to you. I have to do something very important."

Niya has told the special management team these days to arrest as many people as possible who rushed out. Just knock them out and subdue them. It is strictly forbidden to kill them directly.

"Time is almost up. Remember what I said. Just strictly carry out your tasks. I'm going to go."

As Niya said, many people in the special management team looked at her in confusion. Niya jumped directly onto the roof. She clenched her fists. Now there is only one thing she can do, to stop Gene's cleanup. Once Gene starts to attack, Niya will enter the occupied area and knock down those with weapons. This is the only thing she can do now.

This is also the best method that Niya can think of at this point, to reduce casualties as much as possible, because in Niya's opinion, this matter is nothing.

Niya jumped onto the top of the tallest building, smoking a cigarette and quietly overlooking the dark place in the distance, where many people are still moving.

Now that Congress has spoken, most of them will not lay down their weapons. After all, if this thing fails, they will all be criminals, need to be punished, and may even be expelled, and many people who have been suppressed for a long time have decided to fight hard.

Niya grinned helplessly, looking at the black mass of people moving, they may launch an attack at any time, especially the retreat of Section 3, which made many people look more excited.

Bang

Accompanied by a crisp gunshot, someone opened fire, about 200 meters away from Niya, the person walking in the front row opened fire towards the blockade.

The speed of the crowd began to increase. Niya stood up and took a puff of cigarette. Red particles surged on the surface of her body, and she smiled slightly.

"Really? I was just trying to take a break, you bastards!"

Swoosh

Niya was ejected into the distance in an instant. With a loud bang and flashing red lightning, she landed in front of a group of terrified people holding weapons.

"Either get down with your hands over your head, or get beaten down by me!"
