Chapter 536: The Ignited Powder Keg (Thanks to the Silver Alliance of “Reincarnation Thousand Changes”!)

  Chapter 536 The Ignited Gunpowder Keg (Thanks to the Silver Alliance of “Reincarnation Thousand Changes”!)

  ”…Oh, another big fish has been hooked.”

  A small house by Linghu Lake.

  Glancing at the lines and numbers jumping on the trader, Fang Chang, who was sitting at the table reading a newspaper, curled up the corners of his mouth.

  Just now, someone injected 5 million chips into the market.

  Although it was bought in small orders, he could tell at a glance that those small orders were all from the same person.

  In order to facilitate these gamblers to play zero-sum games and reduce the friction loss of “chips”, he didn’t even set the transaction fee.

  And the guy who had known him for less than a month did not disappoint his expectations. There were already a thousand people entering the S-coin trading platform.

  If his guess was correct, these thousand people covered at least more than half of the nobles and their relatives in the inner city, and most of these people bought in without even reading what was written in the electronic contract.

  With the help of the nobles, this easy-to-participate game of passing the parcel will soon be transmitted to the next level like a chain reaction – the Queen of the Night bar, which is full of luxury and extravagance, and will also pull in some of the dancers on the stage and the mercenaries and merchants wandering under the stage.

  These people are definitely the high-income group in Boulder City. The chips in their pockets can reach four digits, or even five, six, or seven digits!

  As for the bank clerks, the salesmen in the city hall, the boutique designers in the tailor shop… Although these middle-income groups do not have enough wealth and their deposits are only five digits, their desire for wealth is the most amazing.

  It’s a pity that Boulder City really doesn’t have much money to squeeze, otherwise the final ending must be very exciting.

  As the developer of the trading system, he can see the cards in the hands of everyone at the table, and he doesn’t even need to stare at their trading behavior to guess.

  But to be honest, there is no point in making money from these people.

  After all, it is well known that bullying fools is immoral.

  ”Wow, how many newspapers have you subscribed to, you guy.” There was a movement at the entrance, and Dolly walked in from outside holding a stack of newspapers.

  ”I’ve ordered all the newspapers I can,” Fang Chang said with a smile, standing up and taking the stack of newspapers from her hand. “Isn’t this supporting Miss Investigator’s career?”

  ”I’m a reporter!” Dolly stared at him curiously and blinked. “Also, what exactly is an Investigator? I thought it was a guard of the Alliance, but when I asked everyone, they said they had never heard of it.”

  Upon hearing this, Fang Chang’s face turned green, and he almost choked to death on his saliva. He coughed twice in a hurry and said,

  ”Ahem! You, don’t ask around anymore! I’ll tell you later…”

  Help!

  He doesn’t want to die!

  Seeing a big bad guy looking at her pleadingly, Dolly raised the corners of her lips proudly, but she didn’t intend to let him go.

  ”Pin it!” She stretched out her little finger.

  ”Pin…pin it.” Fang Chang also stretched out his hand in embarrassment, but when he thought about explaining it to her later, he couldn’t help blushing.

  How to explain this thing?

  We can’t mention the things in the other world…

  We can’t, bring up the movie… No, it’s too dirty! And the data transmission has to be reviewed, Ah Guang will definitely see it! Do we

  really have to be so formal about this?

  We even have to make a pinky promise…

  However, Dolly was as easy to coax as ever, and she wasn’t curious about why he blushed. After making a pinky promise, she sat across the table with satisfaction and enjoyed her breakfast happily.

  Fang Chang also picked up a bun and put it in his mouth and took a bite to cool down his uncalm emotions. Then he cast his eyes on the tall pile of newspapers beside the table and shifted his attention to it.

  Speaking of which, the “Survivor Daily” has recently added a series of sub-publications.

  Including “Workers’ Daily”, “Agriculture Daily”, “Fashion Weekly”, etc.

  The outflow industry in Boulder City has injected fresh blood into the alliance, and the “Survivor Daily” is just a microcosm, and it is also the easiest to see directly.

  The greatest wealth left by the prosperous era is not the black box, but the human language.

  Even though the names of people in the wasteland are all kinds of strange, there are people called tables, stools, wrenches, hammers, and people called Li Lei and Han Meimei, but everyone speaks the same language, but the pronunciation is slightly different, so cultural exchanges and the spread of ideas are not as many obstacles as in the real world.

  It is precisely because of this that the effects of industrial transfer and population siphoning will be amplified. This should have been a slow and long-lasting process, but now it is as crazy as a free fall.

  But he will not sympathize with those people.

  Arrogance is the biggest original sin.

  Those nobles are not only arrogant, but also greedy. The money printing machine that should have served more than 500,000 people has become an ATM for a few VIPs. They obviously have no foreign exchange reserves but still want to play the debt game with the alliance.

  Who else should they cut off?

  I am afraid that their ancestors did not expect that the chips invented in the past to stop the survivors in the wasteland from bartering would be moved around like toys by their descendants.

  If the nobles of Boulder City did not earn so much in their own currency, and lent chips to the Alliance while allocating some silver coins or silver-priced assets, it would be difficult for the Alliance to cut their leeks. The bond of trade would truly bind the two sides together and become partners who would suffer together.

  But this is also hindsight.

  The managers saw through the nature of these guys from the beginning, so they never gave in on the issue of “opening up the free exchange of silver coins and chips”. The Boulder City Bank may have gradually sensed the danger, but it was only too late to realize it.

  In fact, the kind-hearted managers gave them a chance.

  Until the end, these gamblers had the opportunity to step on the brakes and stop.

  As long as Melvin can hold down inflation within five years and let the Alliance pass the initial development stage, the free exchange of chips and silver coins will be opened, and the bubbles accumulated in the giant wall can be squeezed out naturally. If the Alliance wants to become bigger and stronger, it will definitely not play any tricks of breach of contract. It is not the Alliance’s turn to judge their private morality. That is the business of the residents of Boulder City themselves.

  However, the gamblers wanted to win so much, and wanted to be the only winner so much, that they turned this game that could have been played forever into a competition where “both the winner and the loser are determined, as well as life and death.”

  If it were a competition, then someone would have to die.

  This is a war, and it has already begun.

  But it is different from a hot war.

  Often when most people come to their senses, it has ended quietly, and people will gradually realize what they have lost in this war when they look back.

  It’s a pity that there are still too few financial instruments in this game, otherwise shorting the chips can make a lot of money.

  In this way, he is not only financially free in reality, but also in the game…

  ”By the way, what exactly is this thing?”

  Noticing the trader on the table, Dolly reached out curiously and picked it up. She stared at it for a while but didn’t understand it. She muttered, “You’ve been staring at it since morning.”

  Without hiding anything, Fang Chang, who had regained his usual composure, smiled and said softly.

  ”Bad guys’ tools, good kids shouldn’t touch them.”

  ”…Tools?”

  ”Yeah.”

  Looking at Dolly who was confused, Fang Chang continued to tease.

  ”For example…there’s a button to clear the warehouse. If you press it, a few people in the inner city not far from here will die.”

  ”Do you want to try it?”

  Although this would not maximize the benefits, and his chips in the inner city bank would also be frozen, he didn’t really care about those empty things.

  Originally, the plan was just to verify the conjecture in his mind.

  It’s okay to make the beauty laugh.

  But Dolly couldn’t laugh. Instead, she was frightened by his words and hurriedly put the dangerous thing back on the table.

  ”Is it true… Is this so scary?” Looking at Fang Chang’s calm smile, Doubt gradually appeared in Dolly’s eyes and she raised her eyebrows.

  She always felt that this guy was teasing her again.

  ”Of course it’s true, and conservatively speaking… there are probably more than a few people who died.”

  Reaching out to rub the emerald green hair, Fang Chang looked at the doubtful eyes and smiled gently.

  ”I haven’t forgotten what those bad guys did. They dared to bully my gentle, lovely and kind Miss Dolly. Of course I have to make them pay a little price for their rudeness.”

  ”… Ugh! So corny!”

  Dolly blushed and jumped aside.

  Although she said so, she still couldn’t help but feel sweet in her heart.

  She herself decided to turn the page, but he still remembered…

  Seeing that the look didn’t seem to be a joke, Dolly hesitated and whispered.

  ”In fact, I don’t hate those people that much anymore. Don’t try to retaliate against them. I won’t go back anyway… But then again, you hold a grudge like that.”

  ”It’s not holding a grudge, it’s called…” Not very good at saying cheesy love words, Fang Chang thought for a while, smiled and continued, “It’s called I remember everything you did.”

  The routine that would be frowned upon in real life unexpectedly works in the wasteland.

  Dolly’s cheeks flushed red, and she hurriedly picked up the briefcase on the chair and rushed to the door like a frightened little animal.

  ”I, I, I, I’m going to work!”

  Looking at the clanging entrance door, Fang Chang couldn’t help but smile, and his eyes returned to the newspaper in his hand.

  When he saw the report on the recent situation in Boulder City, he shook his head and complained to himself.

  ”These days… there are too many fools, and there are not enough liars.”

  The editor of the Economic News made up a joke to tease his neighbors. A merchant from the Alliance went to a restaurant in Boulder City to eat and found that people were paying with paper. He was shocked and asked, “Where are your chips?” The waiter proudly told him that we now pay with IOUs, and then took out a small receipt with a string of zeros.

  The merchant from the Alliance searched his pockets and couldn’t find so many chips, so he had an idea and tore off a napkin to write a longer string of zeros and bought the entire restaurant.

  This is obviously a spoof submission by players.

  And most of them are players who are doing quests in Boulder City and asked players from the Alliance to submit it on their behalf. However, it also reflects what is happening in Boulder City from the side. What’s more interesting is that when they should be most alert, they stab themselves in the back and bury their heads in the sand like ostriches.

  Some residents of Boulder City believed Mr. House’s tone and thought that the nobles must have a way. There was not only a real research institute in the inner city, but also a think tank of a division. However, when discussing, everyone would close the door and whisper, so as not to be heard by the hyenas in the wasteland.

  After laughing, Fang Chang became a little serious.

  One problem that cannot be ignored is that the Alliance does not have a complete “Financial Law” at present. It only has some similar regulations in the player manual that are available in other games, restricting players from using illegal means to defraud ill-gotten gains from the Alliance’s NPCs or other players.

  However, the scale of the game is getting bigger and bigger now. Both the number of players and the number of NPCs are increasing rapidly. It is possible that a few black sheep who attack their own people will sneak in and let the Alliance repeat the mistakes of Boulder City.

  He loves this group more than anyone else. After all, the first brick here was burned by him and everyone, and this land is covered with their blood.

  For the common interests of everyone, he must do something. With

  a slight movement in his heart, Fang Chang’s mouth curled up a smile.

  ”Speaking of which… the Beta 0.5 version has just updated ‘Public Affairs’.”

  I’ll draft a proposal on the ‘Financial Law’ later…

  …

  Time passed day by day, and soon it was December.

  At least there was one thing Mr. House did not lie about. This winter was indeed not as cold as in previous years. Many people froze to death at this time last year, but this year, no one has died.

  The performance of the cannery has improved. This is a good sign, indicating that some survivors in the outer city have become rich.

  For example, the tutor that Melvin hired for his little daughter has recently worn Death Claw leather shoes.

  Since discovering that the Alliance gave a Death Claw back to each survivor force that went to the celebration to congratulate, the inner city nobles’ pursuit of Death Claws has suddenly become less intense.

  Maybe…

  only the Utopia is worthy of being the eternal god in their hearts.

  Sberg couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, maybe his novel should also keep pace with the times and change the material of the thousand-man commander’s leather shoes from Death Claws to something else to highlight the identity of this great man.

  How about the mutant’s scalp?

  He doesn’t have enough imagination.

  Apart from the bizarre and diverse “evolutions”, I really can’t think of any other species in the wasteland that is more terrifying than the Death Claws and has enough numbers.

  In short, everything seems to be getting better slowly.

  Sberg felt more comforted in his heart. Maybe one day in the future, this favor will be favored by him.

  The only thing that made him a little sad was that this month Mr. Weijia wanted to fool them with the IOU again, which made everyone angry. Even Kent cursed the shameless profiteer for not giving people a way to live.

  Later, something happened. Someone secretly dismantled the wire of the slicer. Others were bad enough to keep silent and pretend not to see it, causing their assembly line to waste a whole line of cans, which made their boss Weijia’s nose crooked.

  Of course, the bad guy was caught. I heard that someone exposed him.

  But no matter what, thanks to him, Weijia was a little more careful with them and didn’t default on the interest last month, although he only gave them some unsold nutritional pastes…

  Sberg was a little depressed.

  He had imagined that his boss would give them those dried and useless cans, but what he didn’t expect was that his boss would rather pour those things out in front of them than share them, and even let people urinate on those precious food.

  That day, Mr. House’s radio broadcast had an additional advertisement – Good Taste Food Processing Factory would rather destroy defective products than let a single inferior can flow into the market.

  But fortunately, this was the only bad thing that affected my mood, and good things always outnumber bad things.

  In order to listen to the story of the awakened Boll, more and more workers gathered at the door of the Walnut Beer Hall.

  And not only from Mr. Weijia’s factory, but also from the steel plant, from the sawmill, and even engineers from the weapon assembly station… It turned out that those truly educated good people also loved to listen to their stories and expressed sympathy for their experiences.

  The engineer was not tall, and his left eye was an electronic eye produced by Jushi Military Industry. He was a generous man, and occasionally he would treat everyone to a drink… although it was just low-quality watered-down beer.

  One day he got drunk and yelled that if Jushi Military Industry dared to fool him with an IOU someday, he would not keep silent, and he swore to put more gunpowder in every shell, and add some sticky syrup.

  That was no joke.

  Sberg stopped reading the story at that time and immediately covered his mouth, hoping that he would not do anything stupid, the early spring tide was no joke.

  A cold winter would at most freeze a few poor guys to death.

  When a warm winter comes, the spring of the following year will be like hell…

  ”That’s great.”

  After listening to him read the content of the Workers’ Newspaper, a young man showed an envious expression on his face and couldn’t help muttering in a low voice.

  ”It would be great if we had managers too.”

  He saw through it.

  Those profiteers would not consciously take out the things in their pockets and give them to them unless someone pointed a gun at them and forced them to change.

  Hearing the young man’s muttering, Sberg couldn’t help but curl up his lips.

  Everyone here has heard him read the reply from the editor-in-chief of the “Survivor Daily”. The manager not only invited him to visit the Alliance, but also promised to let him try on the power armor.

  What an approachable adult.

  ”Next year, after the wave is over, let’s go there together. I heard that the northern predators are almost killed by those blue coats.”

  Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and whispered.

  ”But I heard that they only give silver coins, not chips…”

  ”What does it matter? I heard that the dancers in the Queen of the Night bar all accept silver coins!”

  ”That’s right!” A bearded man cursed, “No matter what you give, it’s better than an IOU!”

  Some people also showed a worried expression.

  ”But what about the wave next year? Come back to hide again?”

  The old fitter nodded and said nervously.

  ”I heard that the wave will sweep across the wasteland, and there will be no grass growing wherever it passes…”

  If it weren’t for the pressure of life, no one would be willing to leave the giant wall. After all, they would have to give 1~2 chips to come back, depending on the mood of the uncle at the door. If

  they were not afraid of the aliens and predators outside, they would have become mercenaries long ago, and would not stay in the factory to work honestly.

  Those who stayed were all honest people. They have been like this

  for generations.

  Sperger had the same concerns, so he mentioned in his reply that he would save some money for the trip before going there.

  The 20-30 kilometers of road were not easy to walk, and there was no telling what dangers were hidden in the concrete ruins. He had never seen those mutant hyenas that ate raw meat and drank blood, but he had seen President Melvin with a large number of bodyguards when he visited.

  But at this time, the engineer who always invited them to drink laughed.

  ”Come on, you must not have read the newspaper! I remember that one issue of the Survivor Daily mentioned that those gnawers are the fruiting bodies of a mutant slime mold, and that mutant slime mold has something called self-limiting. Anyway, they can’t expand after they expand to a certain size. The wave in the suburbs may not be as exaggerated as in the city. Otherwise, how did the survivors in the northern suburbs survive? They didn’t jump out of the cement cracks.” Everyone

  looked at each other in surprise, and Sperger also showed a surprised expression.

  This is indeed his blind spot in knowledge.

  He has been staring at the Workers’ Daily and treating it as his own, so much so that he forgot that there is also a Survivor Daily and a Mercenary Newspaper, which share some common sense and experience in the wasteland.

  Obviously, the engineer of the Giant Stone Military Industry is a reader of the main issue of the Survivor Daily, and he happened to have read that issue.

  The surprised expression turned into excitement, and Sperger clenched his fists excitedly, looking at the workers crowded at the door of the beer hall and said.

  ”Great! Since the wasteland is not that scary, let’s go and see it together in the spring of next year!”

  It’s really good to have more people!

  As long as there is one person willing to tell everyone what he knows, the united workers will become more and more knowledgeable, and knowledge is power.

  However, at this moment, a group of ferocious guards came from a distance. When Sberg saw those people, his face changed slightly.

  The leader was Phyllis, the head of the guards in the industrial zone, and next to him was the security captain Alec and his “old friend” Kent.

  ”What are you doing here? Do you want to rebel?” Phyllis shouted and used a stick to drive away the drunkards who were surrounding the door of the tavern.

  Sberg looked at the tavern owner Tang, who shook his head palely.

  ”I didn’t call you…”

  Before he could finish his words, Kent suddenly rushed out and grabbed Sberg’s collar like a hero, looking at the security captain Alec excitedly.

  ”That’s the guy! He makes noise here every day! Read his disgusting… Boll story.”

  Sberg immediately got angry, and he rarely mustered up the courage to stare at him and scold him.

  ”I was reading my own words at your door? How does it bother you?”

  Kent didn’t expect that this coward would dare to talk back to him. He was about to spit at him, but when he saw the workers around him looking at him in silence, his heart trembled.

  ”It just… bothers you! Awakened, how can the Awakened defeat the Power Armor? You are talking nonsense and harming people! Childish! Vulgar!” However, he didn’t have much knowledge, and he couldn’t speak any great truths. He could only repeat Mr. House’s words, and then looked at Alec for help.

  He swore.

  If it was the city lord’s illegitimate son who beat up the Alliance’s power armor, he would definitely not have any opinion, and would even excitedly shoot at the wall… However, the problem is these bastards. Why do they have to write about what these poor people like to read? Can’t they write according to their own favorite routines?

  Kent was so angry that his teeth ached.

  Alec was not interested in the barking of a few wild dogs. Whether it was Kent or Sberg, they were all the same in his eyes.

  Just poor and incompetent people.

  He had to go to the Queen of the Night Bar to support his boss and his boss’s mistress. His drinking capacity was an indispensable pastime at the party. At this moment, he just wanted to get this matter over with quickly, so he looked at Phyllis and said softly.

  ”These people gather together and shout loudly every day. It’s possible that the problem on our assembly line that day was caused by their discussion.”

  ”Respected captain of the guard, please take care of it.”

  Phyllis looked down on the captain of the security guard of a mere factory, but Alex’s boss was Weijia, and Weijia’s boss was the famous Sid.

  That gentleman was very powerful.

  However, he couldn’t arrest people for no reason, otherwise he would be abandoned by the big shots and thrown to these poor ghosts to vent their anger.

  So he searched with his little eyes and glimpsed the newspaper on the wine table. He immediately shouted loudly, as if he had found some treasure, and his voice was out of tune with surprise.

  ”What is that?”

  Without waiting for others to answer,

  Phyllis walked forward with big strides, took the newspaper in his hand and unfolded it, and scanned the surroundings with a sinister and arrogant look.

  It was as if he was holding a sword in his hand.

  ”Workers’ newspaper! The city hall has banned this stuff!”

  ”This is not the previous one!” The engineer at the side could not bear to watch it anymore and could not help but argue, “This is a sub-publication of the Alliance’s Survivor Daily. The two are completely different!”

  ”Haha, it’s from the Alliance… the crime is even worse!” Phyllis looked at the pale Sberg jokingly, and his face gradually turned cold.

  ”Take this traitor away!”

  Several guards stepped forward, regardless of Sberg’s struggle and shouting, punched him, and then took him away from the door of the beer hall in full view of everyone.

  Alec casually threw a 25-face chip to Kent as a reward, then waved his hand and left with a few thugs.

  Kent excitedly grabbed the chip.

  He nodded and bowed to Alec’s back to thank him, then looked at the back of Sberg who was taken away, and cursed happily.

  ”Good catch! Damn traitor!”

  The voice was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

  Because it was only his voice.

  Kent couldn’t help but panic. He instinctively hid the chips in his hand, looked nervously at the eyes staring at him, and took a step back.

  ”Why are you…looking at me? I…I’m doing this for your own good! You don’t want to lose your job because of that despicable guy, do you-”

  ”Don’t be hypocritical.”

  An angry voice interrupted him.

  A young man walked out of the crowd and stared at him intently.

  ”If you were given a chance, you would lie on the ground and lick Master Melvin’s shoes, and even be willing to taste the feces of his family. You actually have the nerve to say that it’s for our own good, but you clearly wish we would all die in your heart, and you took on all the work by yourself.”

  Kent’s eyes widened.

  ”You, you dare to call Master Melvin by his name!”

  The young man looked at him coldly.

  ”Yes, I said it, and I’m going to say it again. Go and call your Master Melvin to teach us a lesson. It’s better to take us all in to accompany Sperger. Anyway, it’s so cold outside, and it’s not much better than inside. I’ll go there to listen to him continue telling stories. But it’s a pity. I guess that master won’t pay attention to you. After all, dogs only lick their masters, and your tongue is much dirtier than a dog’s.”

  Kent cursed angrily.

  ”You are dirty! You, your whole family is bad!”

  The bearded man looked at him and shrugged in boredom.

  ”Admit it openly, you just worship the whip in Master Stephen’s hand. You don’t care about Rudy, nor do you care about Kathy, and you don’t care why Bill lost his job. You have never loved anyone here, and you wish you could hold the whip yourself.”

  Someone in the crowd shouted.

  ”Hey, friend, he hasn’t heard the story of the awakened Bol, and he must be confused by the names you said!”

  The voice was quickly responded, and it was a laughing response.

  ”Haha, he doesn’t know what Master Stephen’s whip is for!”

  ”It doesn’t matter, but we all know who this guy is!”

  They had a common language.

  Kent’s eyes widened, almost bulging out.

  ”You’re talking nonsense! I, I–”

  He really hadn’t read the newspaper.

  That’s why he felt a little panic. It felt like he was excluded from the team and was left alone.

  That damn Sperger…

  How dare he write himself into his novel!

  Kent didn’t know that Sperger had never written his name, and there was no character like him in his book, but people seemed to know him and were very familiar with him… It was as if they had written his name in for that annoying guy.

  The crowd began to move.

  Those people seemed to know what was going to happen next, even if no one told them, they had made up their minds.

  Thinking that they were going to team up to beat him up, Kent stepped back, his face becoming more and more scared.

  The young man who stood up first suddenly looked at him with pity and raised his right hand.

  Ken specially raised his arms and wanted to stand, but that guy neither did not beat him nor grabbing his chips, but just patted his shoulder.

  You want to ride on all of our heads, but unfortunately it is difficult for you. As soon as you are born, you can become a superb. You have to be a mouse in the

  nest

  with

  us

  .

  ”Take the pocket money that the big guy gave you and buy some candy while you can still buy it now, hahaha.”

  Kent retreated in fear, his shoulders were stained with motor oil, flour, and some colorful things… Those came from hands, and those people were like possessed.

  While protecting the chips in his hand, he looked at the people who were walking in the opposite direction of him, and shouted in panic.

  ”What are you going to do? Stop! Are you… crazy?”

  ”What are you going to do?”

  The young man stopped and looked back at Kent, looking at the coward who wanted to shrink into a ball, and laughed at him.

  ”Of course, I’m going to do what Bol should do!”

  ”That guy won’t leave his coworkers in trouble alone!”

  ”He told us to unite!”

  …

  ”Something big has happened!”

  Dawn City.

  In the Union Building, the manager’s office, the hurried footsteps interrupted Chu Guang’s thoughts and made him stop writing.

  Standing at the door was the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs he appointed, a young man named Cheng Yan, who was selected from the same batch of young talents as Sun Rui from the Ministry of Finance.

  Originally, Shuyu was a more suitable candidate for this position, but the Alliance needed to place the best diplomats in Ideal City, and no one was more suitable than the calm young man to speak on behalf of the Alliance at the Supreme Council.

  Both were directly responsible to themselves, and Shuyu himself had no objection. He was willing to do anything for the Alliance.

  Like Lu Bei, they were the most loyal young men in the Alliance.

  ”What’s the matter? Don’t worry, take a breath first, and talk slowly.” Without blaming him for his recklessness, Chu Guang looked at him seriously and said.

  ”It’s Boulder City! Something happened in Boulder City!” Cheng Yan swallowed his saliva and continued hurriedly, “Our embassy sent a message saying that the workers in the industrial zone surrounded the guardhouse and demanded the release of the captured workers, or to arrest them together.”

  Chu Guang frowned and asked.

  ”What happened later?”

  Cheng Yan said with a wry smile.

  ”Then their prison was full…” There

  was silence in the office for a while.

  Chu Guang felt mixed emotions and sighed.

  ”Are there any dead people?”

  ”No… but many were injured, and because the guards of Boulder City found our newspapers and the letter written by our editor-in-chief to them, as well as a hundred chips in the homes of the arrested people, the Boulder City authorities suspected that we were behind it.” Cheng Yan glanced at Chu Guang cautiously, “Our editor-in-chief mentioned you in the letter… I want to confirm, is it true?”

  ”I asked him to mention it.”

  ”I see, then I understand!”

  Cheng Yan nodded immediately, with an expression of knowing everything on his face.

  If this was the plan of the administrator, then it would be fine.

  He had no doubt that the administrator was right, and the only thing he was worried about was that the editor-in-chief of the “Survivor Daily” would slip up.

  Chu Guang could guess from the expression on his face that this guy must have thought of something wrong, so he couldn’t help laughing and said.

  ”It’s true that we have nothing to do with this matter, but it’s definitely not what you think. One hundred chips bribed a person who couldn’t even fit in a prison… Even if I told them that I did it, would they believe it?”

  Cheng Yan said with a wry smile: “This… I don’t know, but it’s actually not that serious. I feel that they don’t intend to make a big deal out of this matter, but just warn us not to try to make small moves to hinder them.”

  Chu Guang: “Then?”

  Cheng Yan shook his head.

  ”No more.”

  No more?

  Chu Guang couldn’t help but sigh.

  ”Seeing you so anxious, I thought he had closed our embassy.”

  In that case, he also respected those nobles as men.

  Like Yade, he dared to go to the Alliance’s headquarters with a gun to ask for justice, but he turned a blind eye and looked at the guy with admiration.

  There is a reason why the people of the Honey Badger Kingdom are willing to support that guy.

  But thinking of this, Chu Guang was puzzled. It stands to reason that the people of the River Valley Province are tough and there is no shortage of violent wastelanders. Why is it that when it comes to the landlords, from the old leech to the old Brown, each one is weaker than the other.

  Cheng Yan coughed dryly and said.

  ”That shouldn’t be the case. They may also be worried that you won’t pay back the money. They won’t do anything too extreme because of a small matter…”

  ”This is not a small matter. As the fuse that detonates the crisis, this is already very serious.”

  Chu Guang sighed, glanced at the draft paper on the table, and crossed out what he had just written, because those mild measures would definitely not be used in time.

  To be honest, everything has been safe and sound since the celebration, and there are even signs of economic recovery in the Stone City. He was a little relieved, thinking that he should be able to survive the wave of the next spring, but he didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

  He didn’t want to guess the conspiracy behind it.

  Not everything must have a meticulous reason. History itself is moving forward in countless coincidences.

  Maybe the cause of the incident was just a guy who didn’t step on his cigarette butts when smoking, and happened to throw his cigarette butts into a trash can filled with gunpowder.

  Chu Guang suddenly remembered something.

  ”Speaking of which, why did those workers suddenly surround the guard post?”

  Hearing the manager suddenly ask, Cheng Yan was stunned, frowned and thought for a moment before saying.

  ”I heard from the embassy manager over there that… it seems that the owner of a food processing factory bribed the guards there and arrested the man who read the newspaper every day in the workers’ meeting.”

  Chu Guang: “…”

  Good guy.

  Really? !

  After roughly sorting out the cause and effect of the matter, Chu Guang felt quite complicated.

  He installed the accelerator for Boulder City, and he was the first to step on the accelerator, but he really didn’t expect that this matter would get out of control at the beginning.

  His players were all helping talents, and they immediately went up to do it, and the NPCs of the alliance couldn’t help but followed up to finish off the knife.

  But the masters in the inner city thought it was not fast enough, so they kicked the car door and even welded it shut. It was not just the alliance behind this, but other forces were also trying to get involved.

  Melvin might be the most sober person, and one of the few “good guys” who was willing to let the residents of the outer city benefit, at least compared to his shareholders.

  But it was too late for him to stop it, so he could only use the method he had given him to quench his thirst. Ironically, he was the one who stepped on the accelerator first, but now he was the one who wanted to step on the brake the most.

  ”I hope we can at least survive this winter…” Chu Guang pressed his eyebrows and sighed, “Otherwise the spring surge will be a big problem.”

  Cheng Yan was slightly stunned.

  Because of work needs, he did a serious investigation, and with the help of the embassy, ​​he collected some history that the nobles of Big Stone City might not take seriously.

  In the less than two centuries of history of Big Stone City, similar things actually happened, and in the end they were all settled by those masters.

  Otherwise, the city lord there would have been replaced long ago.

  If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the same this time…

  He muttered to himself.

  “It’s not that serious…”

  ——

  (Thanks to the leader of “轮回千变” and the Silver Alliance for the rewards!!! The boss is so generous!!!)

  (In addition, a few more words, this book will write about the military, economy, culture, industry, infrastructure, technology, farming, happy daily life, and player adventures. Every settlement and shelter has a different ending. There will not be two identical 79s, nor will there be two identical Boulder Cities. Jinchuan Province will not paint the map of Luoxia Province green to change the map. A novel is a complete story. After all, it is not a short video. If you like a beautiful woman, I will only recommend beautiful women to you next time. And why do people always have to link the wasteland with reality? Is it something of the same dimension? Even if you say this is the winter home in the Frostpunk era, I think it is more reliable than talking about some specious things.)
