323. We don't agree!
Wen Xuan was lying on the hospital bed, her lips were pale and chapped, and she felt as if her body was filled with hot magma, and she had been in a coma with a high fever for several days.
Suddenly, a calm, watery cold moistened her body, making her feel indescribably useful.
Wen Xuan opened her eyes in a daze, her blurred vision gradually became clear, and a tall figure was looking at her with a smile on her face, her red hair like flames.
There was another person beside her, with tears on his face.
"Wen Xuan! Wen Xuan...... Are you awake? ”
The voice made her let out a soft "ah".
She could hear it, it was Nicole's voice.
"Nicole...... How can you ......?"
Wen Xuan's weak voice slumped, and she couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
"Okay, let's let her rest first, now that those mutated tissues have been eliminated, don't worry too much. She'll get better, let's go. ”
In the hallway, Joyna and Nicole didn't say a word until they were about to get on the elevator, and Nicole finally couldn't help it, turned to Joyna and said, "Thank you so much!" If Wen Xuan ...... What's wrong with her...... I really don't know what to do! ”
Nicole's eyes flashed with tears, and she felt very remorseful, but she didn't know how Wen Xuan came back here.
Wen Xuan had previously refused her request to flee to Turner's house with her, in order to continue to stabilize the situation in the Baker family, and at the same time, she was also worried that her epidemic would spread to Nicole.
"Oh, don't thank me, it's not a big deal, but there are some situations I want to ask you."
Nicole reached out and dipped it in the corner of her eye, regaining her old look and becoming stronger.
"You want to ask about the things in the Mine City, and the situation of the nobles, right?"
Joyna smiled and said, "You're very smart, you know what I want to ask." ”
"The situation in Mine City is dangerous right now, people are panicking, and almost everyone's lives are being greatly affected. Those people's humanity is distorted, their values are degraded, and they have no sense of morality at all, but what is even more terrifying is that the social rules that were made before have collapsed, and no one cares about them, and the aristocracy is just closed up, desperately trying to protect their own interests......"
After stepping out of the elevator, Nicole was already gushing about a lot of things Joyna had seen with her own eyes.
The nobles were terrified to death, because there had been several cases of thugs in the city burning and destroying buildings, and all the nobles were armed to protect their estates.
Even the bustling streets of the past are rarely seen people, whether in the upper or lower towns, all the shops are closed, factories are closed, transportation is paralyzed, and food, vegetables and daily necessities have become hoarded materials.
It is as if society has gone backwards for a hundred years, and has become a mixed and chaotic place for human beings to live without order.
Joyna was also secretly frightened, it seemed that the security problem in Mine City was the first headache for everyone, followed by the epidemic and the lack of supplies.
Reversing this momentum requires the threat to be eradicated at its roots, but first and foremost by restoring order, only if it is maintained by force. If the situation is allowed to develop, it will inevitably cause even greater turmoil and give more opportunities for the "enemy" who is secretly disobedient.
Order must be restored first, even if it offends the nobles.
Joyna secretly made up her mind.
There are more and more refugees in the wilderness, and they are all forced to leave the mine city. As if fleeing, they were driven out of here with the only belongings on their bodies, and they were displaced, and the surrounding gangs began to take advantage of the fire to loot, and the vicious things continued to increase, and the situation broke out.
In some of the surrounding farms, even rich people hired mercenaries to protect their property, but they didn't know that the so-called mercenary groups could not distinguish between protectors and looters, and the farmers were even more robbed by the mobs.
In the more remote human settlements far from the Mine City, there is no law and order at all, and what is happening is even more chaotic.
People at the bottom, from morning to night, from birth to death, basically revolve around one thing every day - food.
More often than not, the "dross" of society that is not recognized flows into these places. There are no basic rules here, the emphasis is on who hangs the big and listens to whom, as long as there is a small pistol in hand, you can occupy the mountain and make everyone prostrate on the ground.
Therefore, these places also often change leaders, like the bottom of the food chain, which is always the place to be hunted.
"Boss, should we go to Joyna first and ask who the opponent is?"
The person who spoke was Chen Liuwang, and the old nature in his mouth was his father.
"Ask a P, won't you know it in a while? The idea of being able to fight here at this juncture is mostly supported by big forces, and I have long suspected that those gangs that cut off the supply lines are not simple, they are not some stragglers. ”
"It's better to let the Domino's family go up, it seems that those two old guys don't dare to go crazy, not to mention that they respect you so much, hehe!"
"Respect? I'll tell you the truth, they don't look down on a gangster-born little guy like me! I occupied the Lin family's property halfway through, and in their eyes, I was just a social scum! ”
The luxurious car stopped under the massive building, and two people stepped out of the car.
Turner's Jalen Turner and Murphy Turner got out of the car, smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Daddy and the others, and walked into the building together.
All three of the Mine City families have arrived today, and they have all followed the call of a woman, Joyna. In order to solve the ongoing crisis, Joyna has to consult with the nobles and then jointly establish a response mechanism.
In the past, the various noble gangs in the mining city had their own armed forces, and it was obviously difficult for these personal guards to act in unison, which was a long-standing practice of the nobles here.
In order to counter the threat of the ancient iron city and maintain the security of the mine city, it is necessary to re-establish the organization and build a defensive force.
After a clatter of gears, the elevator stopped on the top floor.
The two twins of the Domino family also came, George and Marlon held up their fat bellies, and with their favorite cigars in their mouths, they squeezed out the door that could have been out of the door for four people at the same time.
Joyna and a group of guards stood in the lobby on the top floor, surrounded by Daddy and Turner's people, with a huge glass roof that seemed to have been built somehow overhead, and several huge exhaust fans slowly turning overhead.
Seeing the two dominoes coming to him, Dad laughed and stepped forward: "I didn't expect the two of you to be so punctual, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Marlon put on a smiling face and stretched out his arms, wanting to give his dad a big hug.
The body size of the two people is not much different, and the fat belly is also an average volume, so in desperation, the two can only bend down slightly, climb each other's shoulders with their elbows, and simply hug each other like two leather balls.
George laughed from the sidelines: "Don't bother! ”
Joyna looked cold and arrogant, and when she saw that the people of the three royal families had arrived, she said straight to the point: "Someone is peeping here from 3,000 kilometers away, who is it...... You must have counted it all in your minds, right? ”
"How is it 3,000 kilometers away? I've heard that it's the gangs of thugs out there who have banded together to impose a trade blockade on Mine City and our Turner family! Let me lose a lot! Murphy Turner said with a look of resentment.
"Against you Turner house? You're thinking too highly of yourself! The Domino family is worse than you, there have been 5 caravans without news, and the follow-up search force should have come back a long time ago, but there is no letter so far, and it is estimated that this is the end. ”
George grinned and said disdainfully.
Joyna moved slightly, and her crisp voice had a chilling momentum: "As you all know, the opponent we are currently encountering is not an ordinary person, and according to the reliable information I have obtained, it is the forces of the Ancient Iron City that are struggling with us. ”
"What? Could it be the Faceless God of War? ”
"Oh my God! That emperor really had the audacity to do this! ”
"Unbelievable! What does he want to do? ”
"Is it! That's not good! ”
After hearing Joyna's words, everyone was like a lightning strike on the spot, and they talked a lot.
Everyone present looked nervous, as if they had their own indignation to express.
Joyna looked around coldly and said slowly: "There is another news, I think you are also more concerned, recently, a strange epidemic has begun to appear in our mine city, this epidemic according to our research results show that a virus that can mutate humans has been activated. The cause is still under investigation, but rest assured that the virus is not contagious, but is spread by other means. ”
"Other ways? What's that, exactly? Jaylen wondered.
Joyna said: "I am confident that this mutant virus will be completely controlled, and it is estimated that there will be more accurate information in a few days, so please be calm." ”
Hearing her say this, all the nobles reassured, knowing that with the scientific and technological capabilities of this "Guangwu" institution, they should be able to completely solve this hidden danger.
She paused for a moment and continued: "I invite you here today to discuss the response strategy for the successive incidents in this place, and the next priority is to maintain social stability. ”
"So what do you want to do? Hehe, don't you think we're asking us to help you build an army? The muscles on Marlon's face jumped and pouted.
"It costs a lot of money to raise an army! And even if it is established, it will not be able to resist that emperor in a short period of time! ”
"It is said that the emperor's subordinates are all soldiers, and there are 4 generals under the command, who have been fighting abroad, and their strength is not something we will be able to learn in a while!"
"Not only did we not have enough time to train...... And I heard that the technology over there is used to develop military strength, can we beat it? ”
"Now this situation, maybe that's the only way, otherwise our situation will get worse and worse!"
Daddy and the Turner family also expressed their opinions one after another.
Joyna was not in a hurry, and waited quietly for the chaotic voice to calm down before speaking: "Don't hide it from you, what I want is to build a strong armed force!" ”
As soon as she said this, everyone gasped.
Joyna's cold gaze swept around and said, "Don't be surprised, you all know that this is the only way to fight the impending threat, but my request is that you all need to have money to contribute, and someone to contribute. I'll do the rest in a few weeks. However, this force must first be used to maintain law and order in and around the Mine City. ”
Ma Long spit out a thick smoke from his mouth, pursed his lips and said a little reluctantly: "Then the commander and power of the army seem to be handed over to you?" What about the young man with the black hair? Where did he go? ”
Joyna smiled coldly and arrogantly, knowing very well what Malone meant.
These nobles are afraid of the master's power, although after the master left, she was clearly asked to be in charge of the affairs of the entire mining city, but now that the master is not there, these people may not listen to her.
Joyna nodded and said, "It's inevitable! ”
"Then we can't agree!"
