I'm the Fourth Calamity, but They Call Me a Saint

Chapter 144: Situation of All Parties

There is no chance that what happened in the academy could be concealed.

On the third day after the special recruits escaped, the news had spread throughout the entire East District.

As a region directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, chaos occurred in several cities in the East District one after another, which made the cabinet, including the violent prime minister, extremely vigilant about the appearance of such obviously gang-like villains.

Because Zhao Mingda and Cheng Che had previously investigated the information related to Lin Chunmo in the Sun, and the results of these investigations were also left in the central government. After other people in the cabinet took over these materials, they went to Zhulan College for in-depth investigations.

Finally, a report was submitted to the cabinet, believing that the recent vicious incidents in the East District were likely related to the terrorist organization, the Green Sun Remnants, which was surrounded and killed decades ago.

This report made the cabinet pay close attention. They issued a new alert order in the East District, asking each city to remain alert. Once they detected the possibility of being selected as the next cholera target, the central government would directly provide the most effective support.

At the same time, regarding the special recruits who escaped from the academy with the keys, the academy handed over the right to deal with these people to the central government.

For this matter, the cabinet also held a special meeting internally, and a fierce argument broke out at the meeting.

At first, the ministers of the cabinet believed that these special recruits who strictly touched the bottom line of the central law and committed such a serious crime should be wanted and arrested in the most severe way.

However, in the middle of the meeting, a minister suddenly proposed that the thousands of special recruits had been completely scattered in various cities, and nearly 900 of them had been injected with keys and became scientists.

These people are hiding in dozens of underground cities in the East District. Not only will they become a huge hidden danger, but as long as they want to hide, the local security forces have no way and ability to find them.

And the central government has no way to invest too much support forces in so many cities at one time. It is not realistic to really arrest and kill all these special recruits who have already jumped into the dragon gate.

The central government can completely issue a decree to allow the various underground cities below to recruit these special recruits in their own name.

Originally, there were few scientists in those small cities, and the level of science and technology was not developed. Some cities could not even set up an atmospheric bureau to take over the central meteorological authority.

Recruiting these special recruits can not only solve most of the hidden dangers, but also improve the scientific research level of each city. Then, these special recruits can be corrupted, and finally, when they can be completely controlled, they can be considered to be killed or kept.

This was originally a plan with high feasibility and perfect.

But as soon as it was proposed in the cabinet meeting, it encountered huge opposition!

The opponents' views are nothing more than two points.

First, these special recruits have made such a taboo. If they are not punished but recruited, it is equivalent to providing a negative example for everyone else, which is equivalent to showing weakness to the cities below!

That will make similar things happen one after another, and more and more people will have different ideas in their hearts.

Second, it is also the most important and critical point.

The academy reported that 892 keys were stolen, and those special recruits were all the most outstanding students in the academy, which means that nearly 900 scientists can be produced from this group.

And the total number of underground cities in the entire East District is less than 100!

Among them, there are some ultra-small cities with a population of only 100,000. If all these 900 scientists are received by the cities below, then on average, each city will receive at least 9 first-level scientists.

Even in a Class I resource city like the Sun, there are still a few first-level scientists in the entire city. If it weren’t for Lin Chunmo’s support in the end, there wouldn’t even be a second-level scientist!

And now, if you want to cram about 10 first-level scientists into such a city, who will transfer their interests to them?

If these 10 people are united, let alone cities like Zhulan where power is already firmly fixed, if it is an underground city with a small government, how can they resist the seizure of power by these 10 people?

Because of this problem, the cabinet argued endlessly for three days before they held an internal vote under the pressure of the prime minister.

In the end, they agreed to hold the special recruits accountable, and the number of people who were hunted to death accounted for the majority, so the question of how to treat these special recruits was completely determined.

At the same time when the cabinet received the information passed by the academy and issued a wanted order to all dungeons.

The academy also announced the final explanation of why the lives of special recruits were used to make keys.

The impact of this incident on the outside world is much greater than the escape of special recruits itself.

After all, the academy has always claimed to be at the forefront of civilization, but it has done such a despicable act that most cities cannot do.

And after they said that all this was for the future of all mankind, most people sneered at this reason.

All crows are black, and since everyone is the same, who can you convince with such empty words?

But the real key is that the academy later publicly stated that it would carry out a series of internal reforms.

Those subsequent reward and punishment measures for special recruits were publicized to every place by various underground cities under the strict orders of the central government.

But even if they knew about the reform of the college, as long as they could achieve excellent results in the college, they could get various rewards that they would never dare to think of in normal times. Those families at the bottom of the society still kept a wait-and-see and vigilant attitude towards this.

Because the college itself had already lost its integrity in the matter of key making, those special students who were originally said to be expelled and resold were actually made into keys in the end. This was a huge black spot that the college could not erase no matter how it explained.

It was precisely because of this that the college also began to conduct the first reform examination for special students.

This examination not only gave more rewards to the special students with the best grades, but also did not punish those students with the worst grades.

This was not only for the college to establish a trust, but also to use these benefits to appease those special students who were increasingly uneasy and fearful of attending classes and staying in the college after the incident.

These measures and effects were immediate.

The college canceled the original plan for special classes and directly conducted a major examination for the remaining special students, and the results were arranged within three days.

Then, according to the established rules, the top 1,000 students were rewarded, and a 3-pin key was directly pulled out from the cellar, allowing the top three to be transferred from special recruits to regular students on the spot, and a one-month food allowance was given to each special recruit who took the exam.

Sure enough, after this exam, at least the college became stable again from the chaos.

While the central government and the college were making such big moves.

On the train that escaped from the college, there were only a few dozen special recruits who had not yet gotten off.

Zhu Long, Jiang Qi, Hong Lili, etc., and Green were still on the train.

"I will get off at the next stop, Zhulan." Hong Lili said.

In response, Zhu Long just patiently reminded her and the people who were going to get off at Zhulan with her again.

"Remember, you can go find her after you get to Zhulan."

"You can avoid other people and go find the chairman named Qi Miaomiao alone. She can help us, and we can help her. Then no matter how much you trust her later, don't mention how you know to find her or anything about Qian Wei in front of her."

Hong Lili repeated what Zhu Long had said no less than ten times in an emotionless voice.

"I can recite it completely, so you don't have to mention it again and again."

Zhu Long smiled and didn't care about Hong Lili's complaints.

"This is what Qian Wei repeatedly told me, you just need to remember it all the time."

Then he turned his head and looked at Jiang Qi.

"Then there are only the two of us left, what are your plans for the future?"

Jiang Qi pushed the glasses on his nose. He had obviously thought about it many times before Zhu Long asked this question.

"I plan to go back to Taiyang according to Qian Wei's suggestion. If the chairman of Zhulan is really on the same front with us, I want to get off the bus with Hong Lili in Zhulan later. When I meet the chairman, I will ask her to give me a legal and compliant identity in Zhulan, and then go to Taiyang through Zhulan."

His plan is very thorough. Originally, with their current identities and status, it is not an easy thing to seek a legal identity that can withstand investigation in a city.

But as long as they get off the bus in Zhulan, with the help of the chairman who rules the entire Zhulan, this matter cannot be simpler.

After answering Zhu Long's question, Jiang Qi also looked at Zhu Long.

"What about you? Where are you going?"

Zhu Long said calmly.

"I also want to go to the Sun. It's dangerous there, but it's the front line of the struggle. People will always become numb after a long period of peace. Just like the people who have been scattered now, how many of them can still stick to their ideals and remember what they said at the beginning to fight back to the academy is still unknown."

"I'm afraid that I will become that kind of person in the future, so I want to see blood on the battlefield."

Hearing his words, Jiang Qi couldn't help but smile and put his arm around Zhu Long's shoulders.

"Then we can always go together later!"

Green also said with a smile.

"Since you have all decided, I will get off at the next stop and prepare to transfer home."

At the same time, he also earnestly reminded.

"Remember the contact information I left for you. If you encounter a situation that cannot be solved later, come to the West District and find me at my house!"

"Okay!"
