The crackdown was carried out very smoothly, especially after a considerable degree of "cooperation" on the side of the Revolutionary Union, all the consortia within the organization that tried to resist were subjected to a bloody purge, in order to be able to increase the efficiency of the killing to the extreme, Xia even allowed his subordinates to use biological and chemical weapons - these highly toxic substances were directly put into the air circulation system inside the shelter, and it only took a few tens of minutes to fill the entire shelter, even if there was a breathing mask, it was useless, and the poisonous gas would penetrate through the gaps in the clothing, directly corroding the skin and muscles of the human body......

Unless you wear a full set of chemical protective suits, but this kind of thing is not available in the homes of ordinary shelter residents, and no one would expect to be attacked by poison gas - according to the mastermind's setting, if this biological weapon is detected, it will immediately close the air circulation system in the entire shelter, although this will cause the oxygen supply to be cut off, but at least the breathing mask and oxygen generator can also allow the people in the shelter to survive without oxygen supply for a long time.

But the mastermind sold a flaw to the organization, allowing the organization's hackers to easily break through the firewall of the detection program......

A total of eight large shelters, twenty-one medium-sized shelters were attacked by biological and chemical weapons, and although the death toll has not been counted, it is important to know that the number of innocent civilians in these shelters alone is in the millions...... In the face of pervasive biological and chemical weapons, they have basically no effective means of protection......

The only people who can survive the biological weapons are the top brass of the conglomerates and their troops...... But what awaits them is that they sneak in to organize special forces through the poisonous fog with extremely low visibility......

Xia didn't give these consortia any room to turn around at all, and the soldiers on the mission received a "must-kill order", as long as it was a shelter marked as a target for purge, whether it was a newborn baby or an elderly man, as long as it came out of it, none of them could be spared.

The mastermind did not stop Xia's crazy behavior, the population in the control area of the organization is hundreds of millions, and it is completely a good deal to sacrifice one or two million people for the sake of future stability...... Besides, the Mastermind himself has done something similar.

Three days later, all the voices opposing Xia within the organization have been thoroughly announced, and Xia has officially announced that the organization will sign an armistice agreement and a permanent non-aggression agreement with the Revolutionary Union, and the control areas of the two sides will be merged together, as for this newly born "country", it will be controlled by a parliamentary body similar to the old United Nations Security Council, and each consortium under the organization and the Revolutionary Union will send representatives to join it, and everyone will have different voting rights.

However, despite the voting system adopted by the new parliament, it is still virtually indistinguishable from the dictatorship – the rulers of the Revolutionary Union hold 51% of the voting power, the Xia has 39% of the voting power, and the remaining 10% of the voting power belongs to the consortium that joins the parliament.

To put it bluntly, any proposal, as long as the Revolutionary Union agrees, will definitely be passed, and if the Revolutionary Union votes against it, even if the remaining 49% of the votes are in favor, it will not be implemented.

The so-called "armistice agreement" is actually just a better-sounding term, and it is more appropriate to use the word "surrender" to describe it, although the Revolutionary Union did not completely annex the organization, but the actual power of the entire organization has been transferred to their hands.

A large number of organized armies were disbanded, or were dispersed and incorporated into the battle sequence of the Revolutionary Union, the number of private troops in each consortium was limited to less than 500 people, the number of evolutionaries was reduced to no more than 100 people except for family members, the organization of the Guards and the gendarmerie were completely abolished, and special units such as the Thunder Falcon Squad and the Shadow Force also did not escape the fate of being abolished...... However, to the surprise of those consortia, the Revolutionary Union instead reserved a personal guard force of about 5,000 people for Xia, and did not make any restrictions on this force other than the number of people.

If the organization is a "country", then in the eyes of many people, "Xia" has undoubtedly become the "traitor", even for those profit-oriented consortia, the concept of the country is very weak, but Xia's behavior is undoubtedly a complete betrayal of their interests - although these consortia are not silent on the surface, but secretly, there are definitely not one or two people who want to get rid of Xia.

The passage to the underground of the Sword Pavilion Fortress was reopened, and a large number of Revolutionary Coalition troops poured into the Order's control area, and these soldiers never showed mercy to those who rebelled or disturbed the order, and on the first day that the Revolutionary Coalition Army entered the Order's control area, hundreds of bloody heads had already been hung on the intersections of the main streets.

Most of these people are wanderers, "ghosts", thugs or gang members, who are engaged in some theft, looting, and extortion, but when the regular army of the Revolutionary Union replaces the executors of the organization, these guys who are lagging behind are poured blood mold, in order to maintain order in the area, the Revolutionary Union army never minds using the most severe and bloody punishment to deal with these people, in their words, "The prison is completely useless construction, because when the criminals are caught, There was no need for him to be sent to prison. ”

However, thanks to this, after the arrival of the Revolutionary Union army, the law and order in the area under the control of the organization has indeed been greatly improved, and those ordinary residents who were originally panicked now look at the unsmiling Revolutionary Union soldiers, and there is also an extra trust in their eyes - at least these murderous-looking GIs will not be like those who were executors at the beginning, colluding with the gang members and collecting a large amount of "protection money" from the residents every month.

The Revolutionary League first sent in a large number of troops, and the army was followed by a huge amount of basic materials......

These basic supplies were mainly food, and the Revolutionary Union forces were distributed to the residents of the controlled areas, and they even opened the granaries set up by the consortia in the shelters and took out the food inside, so as to raise the standard of basic living supplies for each shelter resident.

It didn't take long for the inhabitants of these shelters to forget the conglomerates that once ruled them, and instead proudly considered themselves new citizens of the Revolutionary Union......

However, these supplies were not given to the residents of the Vault for free, and a new order was issued by the Revolutionary Union - all Vault dwellers will be able to play online in the Wasteland Survival Code from 10 hours per day to 14 hours per day, and those who fail to meet the target will be stripped of their citizenship and have all supplies cancelled.

Those who attempt to resist will be subject to the Enforcement of the Controlled Areas Act No. 0016, i.e. thrown into a "reduction furnace".

The "reduction furnace" is a new invention of a scientific research team of the Revolutionary Union, which can decompose animals or humans into the most basic proteins, fats and other substances, to put it bluntly, just like the wastewater recycling system, except that the "water" in it is replaced by organisms.

For the Vault dwellers, this new decree has not had much impact on their lives, although it is no longer possible to buy respawns in the game world, and if the number of resurrections is zero, they will be directly brain dead, but the players who have been able to hold on until now have undoubtedly mastered the knack of survival - some of them have become warriors, free mercenaries or hunters with some self-protection ability, and for those who are not capable of fighting, the tall walls provide them with sufficient shelter.

Fortunately, the mastermind has canceled the setting of hiring NPCs, and many places need labor, and these players who hide in the safe zone of the city will not starve to death, they don't need to fight, they just need to do their jobs step by step, and they can spend the day in the game world unharmed.

……

……

"I've intercepted an update on the information, and now we've finally figured out the motive for Xia's actions." As the mastermind spoke, he played an audio clip, and with the audio playback, Qi Lin's expression became more and more exciting......

"This guy...... It's really crazy, right? He wouldn't be unaware that the Utopia Project hadn't fully succeeded yet, and that none of the subjects who had been experimenting with the separation of consciousness and body would survive, would he? ”

"Of course he knew, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the First Mastermind to help the First Mastermind improve the Utopia program together......"

Wait, he wants to make himself independent in the form of a spirit body, and he wants to perfect the utopian project...... Wouldn't he be ......?"

"Your guess is very correct, judging from the information we have so far, the only one that may become a technological breakthrough is Qin, who completed the 'body consciousness transfer' more than ten years ago." The Mastermind said.

"And ...... Sixth District?!"

"Ten minutes ago, the sixth sector had already been breached by the combined forces of the organization and the Revolutionary Alliance, and Qin himself was missing in the battle."

"Missing...... What about Song Xiaodie and Ayakui? ”

"Qin is very trustworthy, he sent them to the ground before the war, they are now staying in a safe house arranged by me, Stronghold Zero is not safe now, I will build a new secret stronghold after a while, and then take them over." The Mastermind said.

"That's good...... By the way, if the Sixth District has also fallen, doesn't that mean that the Revolutionary Federation has unified the entire underground world? Or rather...... The mastermind has unified the entire human society, and on this planet, there will be no more opponents who can compete with it? ”

"That's true, so now we're left alone." The holographic projection of the main brain nodded slightly.

“…… Isn't this the worst-case scenario we had anticipated, with no organization to attract the attention of the mastermind, who can devote all his energy to perfecting the utopian world, how much time do you think we have left? Qi Lin scratched his hair vigorously, to be honest, he didn't care about anything now, anyway, the situation had gotten so bad that it couldn't get any worse.

"Uncertainty, the process of perfecting the utopian program has encountered a bottleneck, and if this bottleneck can be broken, perhaps tomorrow all the humans in the underground world will bid farewell to their physical bodies...... However, it is entirely possible to get stuck on this bottleneck for a few months, and the most critical point is that Qin was not caught by the mastermind and Xia, and they lost that crucial breakthrough. ”

"So what are we going to do now? Are you going to send me right away where your body is? Qi Lin asked, according to the original plan of the mastermind, he should have received a series of targeted training, and then sneaked into the location of the masterbrain body while the mastermind and the organization were in a decisive battle, and tried to close the mastermind, but now the expected decisive battle is no longer possible, and even the organization that originally stood on the opposite side of the mastermind has become a force that can be sent by the mastermind at will.

"The time is not yet ripe."

"And what if, as you say, tomorrow all humans will have to say goodbye to their bodies?"

"There's no way to do it, I've never executed a plan with a zero success rate, and what I'm doing now is to make the success rate of this plan break through zero, even if it's only one in a billion."

"To be honest, I feel that from the moment the organization surrenders, the success rate of shutting down the mastermind is already negative." Qi Lin shrugged.

"If you refuse to carry out the mission, I will immediately obliterate you."

"Wait, wait...... I didn't say no, I just told the truth. ”

"'Free will,' have you ever heard of it?" The mastermind said abruptly changing the subject.

"'Free will'?! …… What's wrong with them? Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the mastermind suddenly mentioned this, in Qi Lin's impression, it was a powerful resistance organization, and it was ...... Xiao Lei's guy is one of the high-level cadres.

And some time ago, there was also news that Free Will had been bought by the Revolutionary Federation and attacked the regular meeting of the Consortium Alliance.

I don't know if that guy is dead now...... After all, that's a real life with your head pinned to your crotch.

"Free Will is a 'resistance organization' formed by the Beiling Foundation, but the Beiling Foundation appears on the list of targets for repression within the organization, and all the civilians in the entire consortium, including the areas controlled by the consortium, have been slaughtered, and only a few have escaped and found the 'free will' lurking in other shelters."

"And then?"

"Then this rebellion organization, which was originally only used for the power struggle between the consortiums, has now become a real rebellion organization, and they have absorbed a large number of the remnants of the purged consortium and made contact with me."

"Got in touch with you?"

"Yes, this is Qin's back hand, although he has disappeared, but this back hand has played a role at this time." The Mastermind said.

"But...... Didn't I remember that this free will had already been bought by the Revolutionary Union? They also attacked the regular meeting of the consortium alliance before, and now that the organization has surrendered, they should also be 'regular'? ”

"The people who attacked the regular meeting of the consortium alliance were just a branch of 'free will', and they have long been disassociated with 'free will', but they have always been under the name of 'free will'."
