"Wyoming's shocking bloodbath, a fierce shootout broke out at Yellowstone Farm!"

"LMS may be involved, and the official says it is involved in local gang conflicts."

"Tyson denies involvement in the conflict: the conflict with Yellowstone Farms is limited to a commercial aspect."

"The state government has stated that it will investigate to the end."

"Corruption is shady, investigative journalist is shot and killed."

With the sound of a gunshot in Wyoming, the attention of the entire United States and even the world was drawn, and even the news of Artemis's successful orbit was suppressed.

Of course, it wasn't John Dutton who was shot and rushed to the hospital itself, but the bloody battle that ensued between Yellowstone Farm and the attackers.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of the federal population is still militant, which can be seen from their gun ownership rate.

And the most talked about story of this group of martial arts is, of course, the war between cowboys and outlaw fanatics that broke out in the remnants of the "Wild West".

In a very short period of time, John Dutton was portrayed as a strange hero against power, and his son Keith became a lone warrior who avenged his father.

If such a plot is placed in film and television works, it is enough to shoot ten episodes and eight episodes, not to mention that it still happens in reality.

Many people came to Yellowstone Farm to help—the kind with guns.

Thanks to their efforts, the first batch of scapegoats were quickly caught, and a gangster organization that was originally active in Wyoming was almost uprooted, and even the Indian reservations, which had always been hostile to the mainstream, participated in this encirclement and suppression.

The official attitude is extremely ambiguous, of course they do not approve of vigilante behavior like Keith, but on the cusp of the storm, they really dare not make too sharp noises.

It would not be good if someone came back to their senses and burned the fire on their heads.

After all, they are not completely innocent in this matter

And so, things began to take a strange direction.

Scenes that should have been handled by the government were taken over by civil forces, powers that should not have been delegated were tacitly delegated, and cracks began to appear in the original meticulous order.

And in this intensifying conflict, the official retains only one of the most basic roles, that is:

Judge.

For the first time, the government's control over the grassroots has been completely hollowed out, replaced by a coalition of popular and economic interests.

Some people are aware of the great harm this momentum could cause in the future, but sadly, they can't do anything for the time being.

In the governor's office.

Arnold sat in a high swivel chair, while Munster stood respectfully across from him, listening to his word for word "teachings".

"The methods you have used are too radical, and I have said from the beginning that even if you are going to use extraordinary means, you must keep the situation within the limits of what we can handle."

"Don't you understand what it means to be 'able to handle'?"

"Deliberate provocation is acceptable, but indiscriminate harm is not; Blackmail is acceptable, but kidnapping is not; Murder is acceptable, but assassination, absolutely unacceptable! ”

"The conflict between you and them must be a story of two interest groups fighting for the cake, not a story of a force behind them instructing their disciples to attack the city in order to take the cake!"

"Now, your story has gone in the direction we least want to see."

"You've got to find a way to get it back on track-—— I don't care what you do!"

Hearing Arnold's words, Munster spread his hands helplessly.

In fact, he was not unaware of this principle, and even this assassination was based on this principle.

But the bad thing is that the people below have found an unreliable team to take care of this matter.

They diligently wanted to do the job professionally and neatly, but they didn't realize that this was the key point that Munster tried to avoid.

It has to be chaotic enough, it has to be rough enough, and the more this happens, the more innocent Tyson and the state government behind it can be.

Long-range sniping?

Crazy. The correct course of action would have been to stand by the side of the road when he left the farm, and to attack him with daggers, stones, and sticks, and to kill him

Munster let out a long sigh and replied:

"Anyway, I'll take care of it."

"Things haven't developed out of control yet, give me a little more time-—— of course, give Huangshi a little more time."

"Their anger needs to be vented, and just in time, they can help you deal with the gangsters."

"Killing two birds with one stone, isn't it?"

"It's not as simple as you think."

Arnold's expression was serious and cold, he wasn't much of a smart politician, but again, he wasn't stupid.

From the recent chaos, he has smelled danger — not against Tyson, but at the federal government, the state government, and himself as governor.

He had to save the game in the shortest possible time, but he couldn't do it himself.

It's a paradox. The vigilantes represented by Huang Shi took away his power at the grassroots level, but if they wanted to get this power back, they had to hand it over to the other party first.

In any case, on their side, they have completely lost the initiative.

His brow furrowed tightly for a long time before he continued:

"Either way, I hope you remain a trusted partner."

"We have to continue to unite in order to achieve a win-win outcome."

"If in the process, anyone betrays the other party."

"In the end, it's a lose-lose situation."

"I understand."

Munster nodded solemnly.

There was a subtle hint of cunning in his eyes.

Yes, in this time in front of him, he still has to "cooperate" with the officials.

Because their own power has not really expanded, they have not yet reached the level of controlling the overall situation.

But who can say for sure what the future holds?

One day, there will always be an opportunity for you to jump up and stand on top of the official.

——

Of course, Arnold's thoughts are no different from his.

At this time, he was also planning how to use Tyson to complete the goal of centralization, and then kick it away.

They all think that they are "using" each other, but in a sense, they are just being used by each other.

As for who will be the winner, they all hope that it will be themselves.

But perhaps, winners simply will not emerge from them?

"Will he survive?"

Outside the ICU room, Keith asked, looking at the doctor.

His eyes were extremely calm, and his expression did not show any signs of fierceness, violence, and cruelty, but even so, the doctor opposite couldn't help but shudder when he heard his question.

Because he knew that it was this man, just a few hours earlier, who had rained dozens of bullets on some unlucky guy who had been caught.

Even his face still had a faint stain of blood, which was proof that he had avenged his father.

Beneath his calm exterior, he doesn't know how fierce the anger burns, and if he answers the wrong word, maybe he will end up like those unlucky people.

Thinking of this, the doctor carefully considered the wording, and after a long time replied:

"It should be said that I am very fortunate that although the bullet shattered one of his kidneys, it passed directly through his body and did not run around in his body."

"This gives us at least a chance to be rescued, judging from the current situation, his state is not stable, but the chance of survival is still very good."

"We'll try to keep him alive, you can rest assured."

"Believe me, even if everyone in the world wants him to die, I, as a doctor, will choose to let him live, because I don't joke with my career."

Hearing the doctor's sworn words, Keith finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He really couldn't bear the loss of his father - for a long time, John Dutton was his role model, even an idol and a myth.

Even his own life is imitating his father's trajectory.

Joining the army, training, herding, getting married and having children.

He once thought that he would become a qualified farmer like his father.

But it is clear that this is no longer possible.

Someone ruined the life he dreamed of with his own hands, and his counterattack seemed so powerless.

Keith closed his eyes slightly, looked at the nervous doctor opposite, and said:

"Don't worry, doctor, I trust you."

"I must warn you, though, that if anything happens in the hospital in the future, I'll be the first to suspect you."

"You know, I can't take any chances. Therefore, I can only choose to use the most primitive way to eliminate risks. ”

"I understand!"

The doctor quickly replied.

"We've allowed LMS's security personnel to enter the hospital-—— they're your people, and even if you can't trust us, you should trust them, right?"

Keith nodded, not speaking again.

Seeing his performance, the doctor quickly left his sight.

And after he left, another man walked up to Keith.

And this person is the backbone of this revenge, the most loyal member of the Yellowstone Farm except for Keith, Lip.

"I've already arranged the next step, a stronghold, a total of 11 armed men, all of whom have been involved in different types of violent crimes, and we can use the power of the Livestock Committee to clean it up, on the charge of it."

"Cancel the action."

Keith interrupted Lip, who looked up for some reason.

Canceled action?

Did I hear me right?

In the aftermath of the shooting, Keith was always the most active in seeking revenge, and it was under his leadership that the gangs in Wyoming that were linked to the shooting were dealt such a heavy blow.

And the purpose of doing all this is nothing more than to find out the real murderer behind the scenes.

Now, the answer hasn't been revealed, but you're going to cancel the action?

Are you kidding.

When have we ever backed down?

Keith looked up as well, he glanced at Lip's puzzled expression, and then spoke:

"There is no point in such revenge, we will never find the real murderer."

"The reason is simple, we actually all know who the murderer is."

"It's just that, because of our timidity, we resist accepting the answer, and instead deceive ourselves, trying to find a more perfect scapegoat."

"But actually. A scapegoat is just a scapegoat after all, isn't it? ”

Lip frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"I don't see what you mean."

"Is this hard to understand? It's the Tyson Group that wants the farm, and it's the state government that stands behind them. ”

"No matter how perfectly they disguise it, the interests don't lie."

"Whoever ends up eating the beef is the one who slaughters the cow."

"The real revenge should be directed at him."

As the words fell, Lip's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

He vaguely heard the meaning of Keith's words, but the "meaning" was a little too big and too terrifying, so that for a moment, he didn't even want to believe his ears.

Take revenge on those who really slaughtered the cattle

This is not a petty fight, nor is it like Huangshi did before, holding the public security law in his hand to "do the right thing for heaven", but to directly tear down the roof.

Such an action is -—— no, even if it is tightly this line of thinking, it is actually extremely dangerous.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Lip asked.

"What do I want to do?"

A mocking smile appeared on Case's face.

Then he spoke:

"It's not what I want to do, it's what they want to do."

"We are losing our land, losing the resources we depend on for our survival, losing the right to dream."

"And all these things are given by them."

"They can't hold on anymore, so they have to dig some meat out of us to feed their eternally greedy appetite."

"Now, they just want the farm."

"But soon, they'll want more."

"They're going to want the money we have in the bank, they're going to want the food we're burying in the ground, they're going to want every inch of our bones and muscles."

"Capital and power have colluded, and the machine of exploitation is operating with unprecedented efficiency."

"We're going to be crushed, we're going to be made into fodder and nutrients, and we're going to be buried in this muddy land."

"Lip, no one wants to be the feed to feed others"

"There's only one way to change our outcome, and that's to destroy this machine completely."

"Do you know what to do? Tyson Group is not the crux of the matter, without Tyson, there will be Star Farmer, and there will be more capital groups popping up. ”

"Only."

"I see."

Lip interrupted Keith, knowing that the next topic was no longer suitable for discussion in public.

So, he skipped the foreshadowing and asked bluntly:

"What are you going to do?"

Keith's eyes became a little confused.

After a long time, he spoke:

"Perhaps, we should gather a group of like-minded people first"
