Chapter 4 Siege of the place for the purpose of bulldozing
After cleaning up and resting, Xi Ke dismantled the garbage under the guidance of Xiao Balast. Xiao Ji didn't have any special reaction when he saw Xi Ke using the sacrificial knife, he didn't seem to mind, so Xi Ke didn't hide it, and took it out generously and used it.
At dusk, Xiao Zhen asked Xike to clean up the work area, and the two of them went to the door together to wait for the garbage truck to come.
The small ballast has taught the whole workflow of the fourth incinerator, where almost everything is automated, and so is the garbage. It stands to reason that as long as the garbage truck driver knows where the door of the pit is, he doesn't need their help.
Xiao Zhen didn't explain, and Xi Ke only walked to the hall to understand.
There were roars and shouts outside, "The fourth incinerator will be relocated immediately!"
Xiao Ballast pushed open the carton door. Hundreds of people, men, women, children, and dogs, stood on the grassless grass outside the door. They all wore strips of white cloth tied around their heads, and the words "The government is untrustworthy to the people" were written in red ink. Holding a cardboard in his hand, on it is a photograph of an obese man with a double chin, drawn with a large cross in red ink. They were dressed lightly, some even wore slippers, and none of them brought water bottles. From these two points, it seems that they should be local residents who came nearby.
Xiao Ballast walked out the door, and Rick followed him with his neck bent. The more than a hundred people cast hostile gazes on them.
Garbage disposal facilities are often hated by the local population. Based on the principle of division of labor and cooperation in a civilized society, everyone wants to share this work with others. Unfortunately, the people of this place were given "neighbors to the incinerator" and had to protest at the door.
"Who's that?" asked Rick, pointing to the picture of the fat man.
"The director here. Xiao Zhen frowned, "I haven't seen him for almost half a year. 」
"Is he still getting paid?"
"Hmm. 」
Saying that it was too late, Xi Ke gritted his teeth and grabbed one of the photos of the fat man and grabbed it. The woman holding the cardboard thought that Rick was angry and shrunk her shoulders in fright, but after Nick snatched the photo, she just threw it on the ground and stepped on it, ignoring her completely. The protesters were stunned.
Rick angrily scolded, "Dead fat cat!" This unworking salary thief!
"Which side are you on?" asked Xiao Zhen in surprise, placing his hand on Rick's shoulder.
"I'm on the side of fairness and justice. Rick replied firmly, his heel spinning around the fat cat director's face.
Just when the people wondered whether they should think of Xi Ke as their own, a woman in the crowd stood up as a leader.
She was in her early fifties, slightly chubby, and permed her hair with curly but no fluffy hair, making her look like a sheep that hadn't been sheared in five years. Both the perm and the hairdresser's jishu should be very problematic, and her hair looks charred, as if it will shatter if you touch it. Her face was full of laugh lines, but she didn't smile at all now, glaring viciously at the two Fourth Incinerator employees. Wick noticed that she had a bottle of water in her bag and good walking shoes on her feet.
Lady Laugh Lines clenched one hand into a fist against her chest, her arms clamped, and her chin tucked in to glare at Rick. This pose is usually a defensive gesture for women when they encounter a male offensive offense. Her body language implies that she is rejecting male mess around. As the closest man to her on the scene, and definitely not messing around, Rick instinctively took a step back to avoid being incriminated.
"Don't pretend anymore!" Laugh Lines screamed. The voice sounded like she was condemning men for putting their hands where they shouldn't. Nick was sure he hadn't touched her. So he took a second step back, keeping a safe distance for his own preservation.
Lady Laugh Lines said in a gesture that she was suffering from an irresistible physical and mental injury, "Do you think that if you act like this, we will listen to you?"
Rick spread his hands, "Honestly, I don't care how you react. 」
Xiao Zhen pushed Xi Ke with his elbow.
Lady Laugh Stripes screamed, "It's useless to pretend, I know you're all doing things at his fingertips!"
Pointing to the photo of the director of the Fourth Incinerator at his feet with his index finger, Nick asked, "Has he spoken?"
"I haven't said anything for half a year. Xiao Bao said.
"I've never heard him speak!" said Rick with his hands on his chest.
"You don't really want to step on him!"
"I'm telling you very seriously, I really want to step on him, it's best to step on his head, but I don't know where his house is, otherwise I'll take the ......," Xike continued in a straight back posture without interrupting.
Xiao Zhen finally couldn't listen anymore, grabbed Xi Ke's shoulders with both hands, and moved him behind him: "Okay, that's enough, the newcomer flashed aside. Ballast took a big step forward, closing in on Laugh Lines. Now the distance between him and Laugh Lines is so close that he will most likely touch Laugh Lines's breasts as long as he crosses his chest. However, when Xiao Zhen approached the laugh mark lady so rudely, she showed a shy smile and took half a step back. Her gesture looked like Xiao Jiao had given her a bouquet of flowers, and she had just had to approach Xiao Jiao briefly in order to accept the bouquet.
After the other party pulled away, Xiao Zhen raised his left hand and shook off his sleeve, revealing a watch. Rick was quite surprised. The watch was very expensive, and not only could he not afford it, but also the fat cat he wanted to step on.
Xiao Zhen looked at his watch, put down his left hand, and raised his right hand instead. Holding a disc in his right hand, he pressed the button with a red square icon on it, and said in a voice as smooth and clear as a manuscript, "It's sixteen o'fifty-four, in front of the main entrance of the Fourth Incinerator. That disc is a tape recorder!
"Despicable villain!" screamed Lady Laugh Lines.
In a cold tone, Xiao Xuan said, "Ms. Fang Funuo, you are recording now, please pay attention to your choice of words. This is a public place, and there is no doubt that 'despicable villain' is insulting, and this is a blatant insult, and we reserve the right to file a complaint. 」
The so-called "reserve the right to sue" means, in the vernacular, that although I don't want to sue you now, if you do something that upsets me, or if I suddenly feel uncomfortable, I will take you to court and ask you for a large amount of compensation based on the recorded evidence. This is a threatening act that has been disguised in professional terms, and the effect is uncompromising but does not commit the crime of "intimidation".
He raised the tape recorder for everyone to see, and continued, "According to Article 34 of the Regulations on the Administration of Spell-Specific Incinerators, non-staff members are not allowed to invade the work area, and if there is any obstruction of business, they can be expelled. Dangerous items are not allowed to enter the park area, such as metal objects larger than 1 meter long...... According to Item 6 of Article 30 of the Rules for the Management of Spell Incinerator Areas, one month in advance is required to apply for visits, and if no application is made, no one can cross the prohibited area. The prohibition line is yellow and the width is ......."
Xiao Zhu said seven or eight laws and regulations in one breath, which were full of legal terms, difficult words, and awkward words, which were simply different from ordinary everyday spoken language, and even grammar. Rick was sure that few people in this place could understand it.
Zuihou finally said the point: "...... You are an illegal assembly, please dissolve it immediately. 」
The protesters talked nervously with each other. In fact, no one knows if they have violated the law here, because they don't understand what Xiao Ballast is talking about. It's just that Xiao Zhen said so many things that people can't understand, implying that he understands a lot of things that ordinary people don't understand, and he seems to be very powerful and difficult to mess with. "Will there be a fine? My family still has to pay for my child's tuition. "What if I get arrested and imprisoned?" Because the people couldn't understand what Xiao Zhen was saying, they naturally couldn't refute him, so they all panicked. Morale plummeted to the bottom.
"The government promised that it would only last for ten years!" Lady Fonveno screamed, trying to lift her spirits.
"Regular inspections have shown that the incinerator is safe and that its service life has been extended as required. Xiao Gu said with a smile.
Xi Ke finally remembered who he had seen Xiao Ballast on before. It was a man who he didn't want to see unless he had to, a sword-wielding warrior who was the epitome of bureaucracy, Seren-Nicol Lafayette of the Royal Knights of the Holy Shield.
"The people who inspect are also your people, how can you trust!" Lady Fonfno screamed.
"They're experts in their field. He said, "There is no one more trustworthy than them." 」
Nick stood behind and thought to himself: And those experts are also identified by the founder of the Fourth Incinerator, the Staff of Light.
Xiao Zhen looked hard at the people and said, "The Fourth Incinerator is responsible for the disposal of magical garbage in the Great Ethero region, if this place is closed, there will be nowhere to go for magical garbage, which will only cause more trouble. Fourthly, the incinerator is a necessary evil to keep your environment clean. 」
Fonflor shouted in a louder voice, "So what! as long as there is an incinerator, why not build it somewhere else?"
The battle situation was no longer something that Xi Ke could interfere in, so Xi Ke simply ignored it, let Xiao Ji deal with it, and he went for a walk next to him. Wick turned the corner and shook to the left side of the gate, where he found that there was another entrance. It was a huge vertically lifted steel door, and there was probably more swear on it than all the walls in the park combined. What's even more strange is that there are a lot of impact marks on the door that protrude from the inside outward, and there are small spike-like protrusions on the whole door, so many that Rick thought it was some kind of anti-theft measure.
The sound of the garbage truck's whistle came from afar, slowly getting louder, and Xi Ke turned his head to see five garbage trucks coming from the provincial road.
Xiao Zhen and Ms. Fang Funo were still arguing, and they both turned their heads at the same time when they heard the sound of the flute.
Ms. Fonflora shouted, "Stop those cars!" and the crowd put down their cards and rushed to the provincial highway to block the cars with their bodies.
Xiao Zhen shouted, "Suicide insurance will not pay!"
The people all stopped, exchanging confused glances.
Xiao Zhu means that it is a suicide to rush to the front of the car and hit the car, if it is an accident insurance, it is not an accident, and the insurance company will not pay. Xi Ke didn't know how many of those people stopped because of what Xiao Ballast said, probably most of them stopped to think about what Xiao Ballast meant.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, the garbage truck drove up the cement road in the park while singing. Four of them, with their usual bright yellow bodies, drove towards the treatment facility further back. The rest of the garbage truck, red, drove towards the steel door that Rick had just discovered.
Rick flashed to the side. He stared at the car and felt that it was shaking, the body was vibrating, and there was a heavy impact of "hole, hole, hole". The garbage truck driver parked the car in the red frame on the ground in front of the steel door, then opened the door and fled with a quick walk. The steel door rises up, and the red garbage truck automatically enters the darkness, and the steel door is slowly lowered.
"Inside—it's the pit—the garbage you dismantled was there—in it before. The voice of the old man suddenly came from very close behind Xike, causing Xike's shoulders to shrink in fright. He clenched his shoulders and turned, and saw the back of the old man who was more than ten meters away, limping away and turning into the hall. The voice that Rick had just heard should have been no more than half a meter away from him.
The argument between Xiao Ballast and Ms. Fang Funo continued until the sun went down. Because some of the people wanted to pick up their children, and some wanted to go home for dinner, they dispersed.
After Zuihou left alone, Xiao Ballast crossed his waist and hunched his back to let out a long breath, then retrieved the wandering Xike, and took him to the staff cafeteria to cook dinner with his collar.
