Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 168 Rebellion
A little further ahead, a dozen guards were running around the train carriage.

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way..."

The guards kept yelling loudly to drive the poor people standing at the key intersection to make way.

However, those people acted as if they didn’t hear them. The frail and sickly people walked slowly, and the old lady sat on the door pedal of the carriage with a cane, pouted her toothless mouth, and stared blankly at the messy scene ahead.

Shang Hu's right arm hit the old seat just now, leaving a bruise.Now, in order to avoid the besiegers, he cut his calf when he got out of the car window. Fortunately, it was not serious, but there was only a line of blood oozing out.

He looked back at the guard with a gloomy expression on the other side of the car window and continued to run forward.

Crossing over the connection between the front of a truck and the compartment, rolled over and rolled into the bottom of a scrapped tank, got in behind and out in front, climbed to the roof along the ladder of the dilapidated bus, and stepped on narrow wooden boards to the slums Run over there.

During this process, he saw a companion being pushed down in a stinky ditch by two guards, his face and body were filthy, he kept roaring and struggling to get up.

The roar quickly turned into a howl, and as the electric baton fell, the companion's body convulsed and twisted continuously.

Shang Hu also saw a blood-covered companion running from the head of the train carriage to the end of the train carriage. Unexpectedly, there were already guards ambushing outside, and as the companion showed his head and face, the long stick came with shouts.

A muffled groan came, and the blood-stained companion fell backwards.

"I cao your grandma..."

Shang Hu cursed loudly while running away at a high speed.

What are they doing wrong?
What did they do wrong!
Didn't they just buy some canned sea fish from Maxim's Cannery and sell them in the city?
Why do those dealers get 50% of the profit? They just want to help the sick old people and children in the slums to taste the taste of meat products while eating for themselves. The 10% profit is just To compensate them for the energy and time lost in doing things.

Is this too much?This is not excessive at all.

They are the most miserable group of people living in Gemstone City, unlike big figures like Tang Yan and Comrade Jiao, who have enough capital to do charity, not to make money, but to realize their ideals in life.

Wang Ming and Tang Yan have a conflict of interest, and they can use their power to do nothing or act indiscriminately, desperately crowding out directly-operated stores.

To such a big man, they are no different than praying mantises to military vehicles, and mud to sky clouds.

As a cockroach, a lump of mud, they don't want to get involved in the struggles between big shots, they just want to survive, and an inch of breathing space is enough.

Most of the people in the slums are like him, they don't care who is in power, who's call is coming from the eyeball robot, whose golden sentence is, they only care about what to do with their livelihood tomorrow after eating this meal, and where to raise money monthly protection fee.

However, such a standard of good people has become a victim of the conflict between Wang Ming and Tang Yan's ideas.

I remember the day after Luo Zuoming's downfall, Wang Ming said: "We will resist all forms of war and infiltration against Baoshi City by hostile internal and external forces at all costs."

we……

we?

Who is "we" in Wang Ming's mouth.

Shang Hu feels that the "we" here must not include him and his partners.

They are not "us", they are "price".

Compared with people like Wang Ming, Hui Liancai, and Luo Zuoming who talk about "protection", "sympathy" and "dedication" every day, his partners often bullied him when he was growing up, and laughed at him. "Tiger" is actually a bean sprouts plant, but when his father died and his mother was seriously ill, the people who shouted to be compassionate and caring for the people did not show up, and the protection fee that should be paid was also a lot, but those who had bullied him The person from the village sent a few corn buns, some herbs, boiled clean water, and shredded pork picked from the leftovers of the restaurant...

Even the protection fee that he and his seriously ill mother needed to stay in Gemstone City was accumulated by each household donating a little.

It is the poor who are also struggling at the bottom of the society, supporting him and her mother to live.

He had nothing to repay the kindness of those people. When a person who did not want to be named told him that there was a way to bypass the guards and send canned sea fish into the city, he took over the job of helping retail without any hesitation.

They can't understand the practice of the tax department, and try their best to change the status quo of the slums, and take great risks to deliver canned sea fish to those in need.

Someone reminded them last night to be careful, and it's better to take a break, because the former Maxim's canned dealer already knew that someone was robbing them of business and was trying to find a way to find them.

Shang Hu and his partners did not follow the man's advice and delivered the goods as planned yesterday. In the end, they were caught by a dealer pretending to be poor, triggering a city-wide manhunt.

Click!

The sound from under his feet interrupted Shang Hu's annoyance at himself, and his body fell downwards.

He was distracted just now, and he didn't notice that the wooden plank covering the carriage behind him and the carriage in front was rotten. He stepped on it and broke it, and fell from a height of nearly two meters.

Fortunately, the wooden board cushioned part of the force, and he didn't fall seriously, but his chest was broken, and the outer skin of his arm was broken.

Groaning twice and taking several deep breaths in a row, Shang Hu reluctantly climbed up from the ground, but just turned out of the shadow of the carriage, before crossing the street on the right and entering the civilian area where a large number of containers are distributed, several figures flashed in succession from the side, A hand locked his neck and he fell to the ground.

puff.

Shang Hu fell to his knees, the left side of his face pressed against the cold concrete floor.

"Aren't you good at running? Why don't you run?"

As the voice came from behind, Shang Hu's face showed a pained expression, because someone was kicking his body violently.

He struggled desperately, twisting hard.

Unfortunately, his body was very thin and he had very little strength. He was held down by the strong guards and could not even turn over, let alone stand up.

With a crisp click, the handcuffs closed.

The guard who had just kicked him from behind held him in handcuffs and pulled him up from the ground.

"what……"

Shang Hu wailed in pain, his arms seemed to be broken.

It's over, he's over...

Going into the Public Security Bureau this time, God knows if I can come out.

What about his mother?Who brought her a bowl to feed her, who poured her water and changed her medicine?

He hated his own incompetence, hated Wang Ming's cruelty, and hated the vicious dogs behind him that were fed with human blood steamed buns.

But apart from making his blood boil, this hatred could not be turned into a sword to cut off Wang Ming's head, nor could it be turned into a bullet to kill a vicious dog.

Shang Hu saw the blood on the face of the arrested partner on the left falling drop by drop on the patched old clothes.

Shang Hu saw the cracked lips and closed left eye of the arrested partner on the right, and was dragged forward by the guards.

He doesn't regret what he did, he hates not being strong enough.

The expressions of Shang Hu and others were not good-looking, and the guards who escorted them to the Public Security Bureau also had sullen expressions on their faces.

A few of them were slightly injured when they arrested the smugglers, and they also encountered all kinds of cold eyes and curses from the people in the slums. Of course, they were not in a good mood.

Some people secretly vowed to make the smugglers pay in blood. For those who dared to challenge the authority, regardless of gender, regardless of age, they must be beaten until they dare not resist.

crackling...

The sound of the electric arc hitting the human body at the end of the baton was heard.

Shang Hu saw Liu Yang coming out of the alley on the right with his arms held by guards, followed by a fat guy with big ears.

It's Captain Wang of the Public Security Bureau, and he has another identity --- Wang Ming's cousin.

Even Liu Yang was arrested, and the group of dogs behind him can proudly say in front of the officer that they have wiped out all the smugglers.

Shang Hu had a cold face and let the guards push him forward.

After walking another distance, the hand pushing him behind him suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Shang Hu quickly noticed that the situation ahead was different.

When he raised his head and saw the scene on the street, he was stunned.

A lot of people came across, some from the slums, some from the civilian areas, with different clothes and looks, but their expressions were similar, and they all held striking weapons such as iron pipes and sticks in their hands.

A wind came from outside the city, blowing up the waste paper scattered in the middle of the street, and whirled it away.

The rusty tin box on the pole kept opening and closing, making a rattling sound.

The whole world fell silent.

Shang Hu and the others saw the people on the street, and the people on the street saw them, and then looked at the guards escorting them on foot, with angry flames in their eyes.

"Fuck this group of dogs raised by NIANG."

"Yes, kill the dog legs of the Public Security Bureau."

"..."

There was a shout from the crowd, followed by a thunderous response.

There was no lengthy confrontation, and the people on the street rushed over with anger.

bang...

The sound of footsteps was continuous, and the sticks and iron pipes swaggered like a forest.

"What are they going to do? What are they going to do?"

Captain Wang and his men were stunned when they saw the scene across the long street. They did not expect that such a thing would happen. Those people actually risked being expelled from Gem City and made enemies of the Public Security Bureau.

Isn't it just to catch a few smugglers from the slums?
Aren't they just a few brats with no background or status?
Why did things become like this?

They have institutional restaurants to provide food, and they receive monthly money from their superiors. How do they know how hard life is for the people at the bottom.

First, they raised the standard of protection fees, then they made things difficult for Maxim Cannery to set up a direct store in the bazaar, then the government and businessmen colluded to cut leeks, and finally they murdered a group of teenagers.

For the people in the Public Security Bureau, this is called doing things according to the rules, which is compliant and legal.

For the people of Gemstone City, this is called fighting for profit with the people, which is cruel and inhumane.

They have been pushed to the extreme, and they can't bear it anymore. If they don't stand up and do their part for Shang Hu's group of teenagers, who will speak for them in the future, who will shout for them in the future.

On the right side of Shang Hu, the boy with closed eyes opened his eyes, endured the pain and looked towards the opposite side, the figures of the people reflected in his pupils were stained red by his blood.

The young man on the left of Shang Hu struggled hard, enduring the shock of the electric baton and knocked down the guard next to him.
Captain Wang was dumbfounded, watching the excited crowd with their legs trembling.

He has never experienced such a thing before, never thought that the public would do what they are doing for a few teenagers.

Those guys... who were supposed to be grateful for Gem City for taking them in, actually wanted to use force against their benefactors!
That's what the eyeball robot told people... It was Wang Ming, Hui Liancai and others' fathers and grandparents who built the Jewel City to give the people a place to sleep peacefully without being harmed by fierce beasts and living corpses.

"You... what are you going to do? Don't you want to live?" Captain Wang pointed at the people rushing across and yelled sternly, waving the baton in his hand.

But he looked more like a wild dog barking at the running cattle on the prairie.

The herd is about to overwhelm a few wild dogs...

At this time, Shang Hu felt his back loosen, and the hand holding him firmly disappeared. Looking back, he saw that the two guards escorting him had sold their backs to him and were running away desperately.

Captain Wang was a fat man, he had wasted a lot of energy before, and he hadn't slowed down yet. He didn't pay attention to his feet when he was running for his life. He was tripped by the calf of the boy standing behind Shang Hu, and fell to the ground with a bang.

He struggled to get up, but little did he know that the boy next to him sat down on him and pushed his just-raised body back to the ground.

"You little rabbit..."

His voice stopped abruptly as a foot knocked his head off, pressing his face and mouth to the concrete.

Then there were figures passing by and the sound of dense footsteps.

Captain Wang had lost his mind, and even the people behind kicked his ass just made a humming noise, like a pig.

After a short while, the sound of footsteps stopped suddenly, and the people stopped chasing the guards of the Public Security Bureau.

Captain Wang tried to raise his head, looked through the gaps between the various shoes in front of him, and saw a group of guards with steel helmets on their heads and Type 95 assault rifles in their hands.

The reinforcements from the Public Security Bureau arrived in time and rescued the fleeing comrades.

Unlike before, they came with guns!

"I'm here..." Captain Wang stretched out his hand, wanting to call for help from the reinforcements that came later.

At this moment, a hard object hit his head.

He knew it was a gun.

Last time he was pressed down with his feet and his head was pressed down, interrupting his speech, this time he chose to keep his mouth shut, so as not to irritate the excited residents of Gemstone City.

The people who came to rescue Shang Hu confronted the security guards at a distance of [-] meters.

The former has a large number of people, but their weapons are very backward, while the latter has a small number of people and their weapons are relatively advanced.

The wind was blowing against the broken carriage, whistling and whistling from time to time.

You look at me on both sides, and I look at you, and no one is willing to take a step back.

………………

In the office of the Civil Affairs Department near the Governor's Mansion.

The wild barracuda in the fish tank had criss-crossed teeth, constantly spitting air bubbles, and from time to time swept around the room with fierce eyes.

Wang Ming took a spectacle cloth and gently wiped his beloved black-rimmed glasses with a very peaceful expression.

Tang Yan wanted to spread canned sea fish to the entire peninsula, and even inland, and then sell it at a reserve price, using this method to win the favor of wastelanders, establish his own image, and lay a solid foundation for building his own team.

He thought well and planned well, but the young man overlooked one thing—convincing people with virtue is far more difficult than deterring them with force.
