30 The World of Lies (4)
The next day, the terrified beast fled to Dozdor City, which is the largest city in Xiba Prefecture, and is also the city with the most sea, land and air ports and the longest undersea tunnel in the Yaoguang Empire, which is one of the main gateways between Xiba Prefecture and the rest of the state, and a branch of the secret police is located here, which is why the beast came to Dozdor City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the city was in chaos at the moment, and the streets were filled with countless citizens holding flags and shouting marches, their flags all written in red paint: Do not support the robot plan. Smash those metal monsters. Give us back peace. (Robot Plan: The Dazzling Empire's army uses robots to reach 50% of the total number of soldiers)
The sky of Dozdor was cloudless, as if the clouds had been dispersed by the shouts, and the crowd rushed in the direction of the town hall, and the banner-bearers did their best to raise their flagpoles as high as they could, as if they were afraid that they and the banner would be buried in the crowd. The surging crowd was fronted by heavily armed emergency guards, and rows of police officers with blast shields held back the surging crowd.
The mayor of the city of Dozdor stood on the elevator of the riot control vehicle with a megaphone, which gradually rose to one meter. Two meters. Three meters.
At the height of the mayor, you can see the whole picture of the two-kilometer-long street, and there are commercial and office buildings on the left and right, the highest is 200 meters high, and the shortest is 50 meters. At the end of the street, citizens continued to pour in, the crowd shouted over and over again, and more than a dozen riot trucks followed the surging crowd, ready to strangle the possible riot in the cradle.
Tens of thousands of citizens were already looking up at him in front of the mayor, and behind him were government buildings. The poor mayor stepped up to defend the city when order spiraled out of control, and who knows if he volunteered to face the angry looking citizens.
He looked at the crowd of people in the dark, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. It's not often that you see such a big scene. Finally, he mustered up his courage and raised the megaphone and shouted:
"Gentlemen and ladies, we are a country governed by the rule of law, everyone should be a little rational, if there are any problems, we can sit down and discuss them, I know that some of you are really worried about the future of the country and come here, but I also believe that some people have come here to march and build momentum because they have received the benefits of foreign countries and forces. But none of that matters, and whatever your purpose is for coming here today, I hope you don't move forward. Behind me is the government building, which represents stable order, don't you like chaos? Chaos is only enjoyed by those who have other agendas, and good, law-abiding citizens want peace and stability in the country. We have known your opinions, and we uphold the purpose of serving the people, and we will definitely adopt your opinions and put forward reasonable solutions. ”
The noise gradually dissipated, and the citizens gradually stopped their progress, but they were not persuaded to stop by the mayor, but by the rows of policemen with live ammunition. The mayor looked around at the buildings as if looking for something. After so many years of mixing in officialdom, he knows very well that there must be a lot of forces involved in such a large-scale demonstration. In order to cause chaos, some sniper of unknown factions is hiding in a skyscraper ready to shoot him.
He froze down, raised the megaphone and continued: "Now you send a representative to speak, and I will discuss with you here the solution to the problem. At this point, people in Congress can also see what we're doing here through satellites, and I'm sure we can solve any tough problems, and all we need now is to talk about it. The mayor's fat body stood on the three-meter-high elevator, and he felt dizzy after shouting this sentence with all his might, but he had to persevere, or the angry-looking citizens would storm the government building, and there would really be no order at that time.
"Mr. Mayor, how many years have passed, and you are willing to listen to our opinions only if we stand up and demonstrate, who knows if you are perfunctory to us again this time." A male representative of the march was the first to speak.
"Aren't we talking about these issues right now?" The mayor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
"Then cancel the robot soldier plan, cancel the robot replacement labor plan. You don't know how many resources the war will consume us! You don't even know how many people have lost their jobs due to the popularization and application of robots, whether they are engaged in the financial industry or manufacturing, we simply can't compete with these machines that can't think. They take away our jobs, we're going to be eliminated because of robots, and the consequence of being eliminated is death! ”
"Cancel the machine labor program and give me back my job!!。 Cancel the robot plan and return me to peace!!。 ”
The marching delegates' eloquent words provoked angry shouts from the citizens, and the thousands of policemen accompanying them were even more frightened in their grip on riot stun guns.
"We can stop the robot plan, but the government has no right to interfere in the replacement of production labor by robots, which is the choice of the enterprises themselves and the changes in the free market."
"Then issue a decree prohibiting companies from massively using robots as labor to replace humans." The parade deputies shouted.
"No, it's going to make our businesses uncompetitive, as I said, it's a free market trend, and it's not something that the government can interfere with."
The townspeople and the mayor are arguing fiercely, while the beasts take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the secret police station. Due to the large number of people in the procession, and a large number of secret police officers were sent to the streets to serve as plainclothes, the beast infiltrated the office of the director, Leeux, without much difficulty.
Leeu was sitting at his desk thinking about his future, his fat belly bulging slightly like a three-month-old woman, his righteous black and white police uniform in stark contrast to his gloomy sharp eyes.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Leeu wanted to be furious to see which unsightly guy had broken in without even knocking on the door, but the first thing he saw was the muzzle of the black hole.
"Beasts. What are you doing! Leeu said in horror.
"Tell me what's going on!" The beast's face was furious, and the finger seemed to pull the trigger at any moment.
"What's going on? I don't understand what you're saying. Leeu said as he pretended to be innocent.
"A bunch of killers wanted to kill me, and I'm pretty sure they all had military backgrounds." After the beast finished speaking, it shot Lee directly in the left arm, and with a scream, Lee's face was exaggerated and distorted because of the pain, "Why did the military send someone to kill me!" ”
Lee knew that the beast was a ruthless character, otherwise he would not have been sent to unify the extreme path of Xiba State, but he never thought that the beast would shoot at him without hesitation. "I didn't know they would do it so quickly. Beast, let me go. ”
The beast looked coldly at Lee, who begged for mercy, and he kicked Lee in the stomach. "Did the reason for my assassination have anything to do with this march?"
Lee clutched his injured left arm and said bitterly: "There are too many interest groups involved, even I don't know what conspiracy they are planning, what I can know is that the Casey faction was actively developing armaments in Xiba Prefecture before, and the Casey faction that was in power in Xiba Prefecture at that time planned it, and now that the royal family has regained control of Xiba Prefecture, the Robot Soldier Project is naturally going to die, and the mastermind behind this parade is the royal family." ”
"Since the royal family is the director, then why did someone from the military come to assassinate me?" The beast said, "Could it be that the royal family wants to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?" ”
"Beasts." Lee's face grew pale, and he continued through the pain: "The man who wants to kill you is terrible! Their influence radiates to business, military and political circles, and more than half of the empire's financial, industrial, journalism, education and other industries are under their control. ”
"Fuck you", Garstead kicked Lee again, then raised the muzzle of the gun to his head. "If you don't tell them who they are, I'll send you to see Caton."
Lee's eyes were very complicated when he looked at the beast, "I can't say, you can kill me, I just want my family to be safe." ”
"Is it the Gongzhi family, the head of the ten families of the Casey faction, no, they can't make you so afraid. Is the person behind you so powerful that you don't even want your life! The beast said uneasily.
"Beasts, the ten major families are just their spokesmen, their strength is enough to compete with the current emperor, quit, don't be obsessed with power anymore." Lee continued.
"Tell me everything you know."
"I can't say it, if I don't say it, I'll die alone, but if I do, I'll be destroyed!"
The more Leeu said this, the more frightened the beast became, and he felt as if he had been pushed into a bottomless abyss, and that he was being torn apart by two different hands. He lowered the gun to Lee's head, and as he was about to leave, Lee stopped him, "Where are you going?" ”
"Take your family to escape from this dark world", the beast said before slamming the door and leaving.
Lee, who remained in the office, muttered the words of the beast before leaving: "Take your family to hide from this dark world", as if he had suddenly found a way to escape, and his face was relieved. "The world is dirty and dark, and from the moment we hunt and kill other living beings, we must have the consciousness of being killed." With that, Leeu climbed onto the ledge and jumped out of the building without hesitation.
The moment Lee hit the ground, the beast sneaked out of the secret police station, and under his terrified gaze, Lee slammed into the ground, his brain splattering with blood on the surrounding buildings. The loud slamming of the ground pulled the beast out of its terror, and he knew he had to leave.
Walking down the street, he thought that Lee's jumping off the building would cause a panic, but what he saw was the scene of a riot. The riot trucks used sonic guns to block the citizens who stormed the government buildings, many citizens were shocked by the sound waves and their eyes were bleeding, and the streets were full of 'mobs' who scuffled with the police, and the stun guns scorched the whole body of the people, lying on the ground convulsing and foaming at the mouth. Rubber bullets flew everywhere, and some unlucky people were shot in the eyes by rubber bullets, and columns of blood suddenly gushed out.
A deafening shout rang out over the streets, and the trees on both sides were shaken by the sound waves and fell into large foliage before being trampled by the crowd.
The beast flashed left and right in the chaotic crowd, and soon he returned to the place where the aircraft was parked, and after looking back deeply at the chaotic scene, he did not hesitate to drive the aircraft into the sky.
