"Good evening! Lute City, I am your good brother William. Today's Dead Man Lotto is a total of 31 people. The Light Skull Gang killed 19 people, and a member of the Brotherhood also died. I think you all get it. Pay money, because the fraternity will definitely not be able to swallow this breath.”
A familiar broadcast echoed in the corridor.
This is one of the favorite shows of Oasis people recently. After leaving District 17, the Dead Man Lotto crew found a new environment in Oasis.
This place is a lot more chaotic than District 17 in the past, and more importantly, the people in the Brotherhood like this.
In the Oasis, only the Brotherhood has the real say.
Those law enforcement officers who want to follow Lu Xiang's example and stand up to maintain order are often found dead on the street the next day. The entire department is more penetrated than the seventeenth district in the past. The whereabouts of every supervisor , home address, and family information are all firmly in the Brotherhood's possession.
Of course, they can also choose to become friends in a fraternity.
The Brotherhood has always been generous. They will prepare huge sums of money for their friends. In return, these friends need to help them deal with disputes in various cities in the oasis.
The entire crew was hijacked while passing through the oasis, and then like all unlucky people, they were sent to the "garbage treatment plant" by the Skeleton Gang.
"Garbage treatment plant" is what the Skeleton Gang calls it.
The unlucky ones who are sent there are often sorted on the operating table into human organs that can be sold at high prices, and stumps that cannot be recycled and are disposed of uniformly.
Everyone in Root City knows that once sent to the "garbage treatment plant", it is difficult to get out again.
People at the processing plant will treat their goods equally. Regardless of whether the "goods" are oasis officials, ordinary people, or wealthy businessmen from the "outside" before being sent in, they will eventually be dismantled into similar parts.
Of course there are occasional exceptions.
For example, the crew of Dead Man Lottery used an impromptu performance to gain the interest of treatment plant workers before being sent to the operating table. They tried their best to convince the fraternity that they needed such a program.
There are few more effective means of spreading the fraternity's reputation than radio broadcasts.
Therefore, the Brotherhood provided them with a special broadcasting venue and a luxury hotel for them to live in, allowing them to enjoy guest-like treatment.
Of course, they were still under the surveillance of the Brotherhood the entire time.
After finishing today's radio program, William breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already dark outside, and the cold night crawled up his back. His passionate expression faded away, and he gestured to the "bodyguard" who had his hand at the door.
William understood his current situation very well.
Although he became one of the most popular radio hosts in Oasis, Dead Man Lottery has achieved success in this country where news and entertainment lag behind, but their lives are still controlled by others. In the eyes of the Brotherhood, they may just be a group of "interesting people" Pets", once the brothers lose interest in them, their prospects may be dark.
But today, things took a turn for the better.
The Skull Gang became members of the Dead Man Lottery, and it was even heard that Scarface, one of the leaders of the Skeleton Gang, died.
Someone broke into the Cloudstring Hotel, shot Scarface in full view, dragged him upstairs, and killed him in his room.
William kept an eye out and found out many useful clues.
Some people who escaped from the Cloud String Hotel claimed that Scarface died in a horrific way. He aged and decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the end no bones were left!
Most of their attackers were psychics, and they were unknown psychics that had never been recorded.
The Brotherhood is very familiar with the rebels. They have collected information on the leaders and cadres of each rebel army, but they are not willing to go to war with the rebels unless necessary.
After all, the resistance is as difficult to penetrate as an iron barrel, and their methods are much stronger than the puppet politicians in the oasis who are supported by the coalition government.
It is said that only two people died during the firefight at Yunxian Hotel, including Scarface.
As for the other 14, after they tipped off the information, they were sent directly to the operating table of the "waste treatment plant" because the person in charge of the treatment plant did not like deserters.
No one except William knew the identities of the two attackers.
While working in the 17th District, he once obtained some information about "enthusiastic citizens" in the Gold Diggers Bar through his own connections. During the period when "Iron-fisted Supervisor" Lu Xiang took office, the criminal forces in the 17th District suffered a devastating blow. Crackdown, and during a city-wide meeting called out the Dead Man Lotto crew for using casualties as a form of entertainment.
They have also considered transformation, hoping to interview "enthusiastic citizens".
The end result was of course a failure.
The owner of the Gold Digger Bar told him that except for Lu Xiang, no one in District 17 could connect with the "enthusiastic citizens".
But William remembered that there was a video circulated in the Gold Diggers Bar. The surveillance video recorded the time leap. Not long ago, the descriptions of the panicked Skeleton Gang members reminded William of the "enthusiastic citizens".
People in District 17 should help each other.
If they are lucky enough to meet "enthusiastic citizens", they can leave the oasis smoothly - they really don't want to stay in this shabby place for a second longer. After everything they have experienced, they would rather go back to District 17 to find a factory. Tighten the screws.
"Hey friend, can I go to the treatment plant tonight?"
After coming out of the studio, William walked up to the bodyguard, handed over a cigarette, and asked flatteringly.
There seemed to be a premonition guiding him, maybe something would happen at the "Garbage Treatment Plant" tonight.
"The treatment plant? Isn't that where you are most afraid?"
The bodyguard teased William, "I remember you peed your pants the last time you were there."
The "garbage disposal plant" is not a secret place, but most people can't stand the scene and smell there, but for "garbage disposal" enthusiasts, it is no different from paradise.
After the Dead Man Lottery program became popular, the person in charge of the treatment plant also sent an invitation to the program team. He hoped to conduct an exclusive interview about the treatment plant, which would help people recognize their masterpiece, but was rejected by William. declined.
"After all, I have been coming to Root City for a while. Recently, many listeners have sent me private messages, hoping that I will talk about the 'Waste Treatment Plant' on the show. They are very interested in it."
Hearing this, the bodyguard's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll contact you right now."
During these days in Root City, William got to know the characters of these people. They were different from the Skeleton Gang. The person in charge of the treatment plant called himself an artist. He regarded dismantling the human body as an elegant art, and he had always been Committed to promoting this "niche art".
A few minutes later, the bodyguard returned to the studio happily.
"The boss said you can go over now. They are preparing for several disassembly operations tonight."
Suppressing Xingzhong's mixed emotions of fear and excitement, William called everyone downstairs and boarded the hover car heading to the "garbage treatment plant".
If they are lucky enough, maybe they can leave Root City tonight.
William believed in the law of conservation of character. The person who proposed this law believed that people's fortunes fluctuate, but if we take a long-term perspective, the proportions of luck and misfortune will eventually become the same.
During their time in the Oasis, their fortunes had hit rock bottom, and now it was time to bottom out and rebound.
William had been to the treatment plant once, but he didn't dare to look around.
The last time he woke up from the operating table, the rotating saw was less than 30 centimeters away from his arm. He tried his best to get them to lower him off the operating table.
The bodyguard was right. When he got off the operating table, his pants were indeed wet.
But this time, he and others walked in the corridor outside the operating room and re-examined the workshop that the person in charge of the treatment plant spent a lot of money to build.
This place is indeed different from a black clinic. The entire corridor is clean and bright, and the smell of blood is not strong. If an uninformed person comes here, they will definitely not be able to associate it with a slaughterhouse.
From the outside, this place looks more like some kind of underground experimental facility. Only the most cutting-edge scientists are qualified to enter and exit here.
"Look, that's where you were last time."
The bodyguard suddenly stopped and pointed at an instrument inside through the window.
"A few years ago, we still used the traditional operating table. Their hands and feet needed to be fixed around the operating table to perform the cutting surgery in person."
The bodyguard has become a qualified commentator. He is one of the oldest employees of the "Waste Treatment Plant" and has witnessed the vigorous development of the treatment plant over the years.
"Artificial intelligence has been developing rapidly in recent years. We are all equipped with machines now. Come and take a look."
With that said, the bodyguard walked towards one of the instruments.
This is the first time William has observed them carefully. The structure of the instruments looks like a luxury simulation cabin in a holographic game, allowing a person to lie inside.
He suddenly felt that if he could bring this information back to District 17 and publish a column, it would trigger quite extensive discussions.
After all, most people in District 17 know nothing about the human trafficking problem in the oasis, which may sound a warning to those who fantasize about going to the "outside world" to pan for gold.
The bodyguard opened the hatch and showed the scene inside to several people.
"Now we only need to put the 'goods' inside, and the instruments will automatically restrict the movement of their limbs, but more importantly, these instruments have many functions."
As he spoke, a light blue holographic operating screen appeared on the left side of the bodyguard.
Just the text prompts that appeared above were enough to make William's scalp tingle.
People in the treatment plant can cut the human body more precisely through operations and witness the entire process of the "cargo" surgery in the cabin. This may be the main reason why the front half of the operating cabin uses a transparent material baffle.
The operation screen accurately corresponds to every part of the human body, and is even equipped with a first aid function to prevent the "cargo" from dying prematurely, which ensures that they can last for a long time in the operating cabin.
Sometimes, William really hated his overly rich imagination.
"Did you see the device under the operating cabin? After the operation is completed, the blood can be drained with just one click, and then the useful organs and useless garbage will be automatically separated and processed... If you have experienced old-fashioned disassembly After surgery, you will know how convenient these functions are!”
The tone of the bodyguards became more and more excited, and they seemed to truly regard this as a noble art from the bottom of their hearts.
"Everyone enjoys the process of surgery, but few want to clean up the mess."
These instruments save them so much trouble.
In order to prevent the other party from continuing, William coughed lightly and said, "It's getting late, don't keep the boss waiting too long."
"Oh, yes, there will be several disassembly operations in a while, which will be much more enjoyable than hearing what I said."
William followed the bodyguard.
I don't know if he was affected by the brainstorming, but he always felt that the smell of blood in the corridor was getting stronger and stronger.
He glanced at the other people in the crew and found that they were also pale, looking like they wanted to gag but were holding back.
Arriving at the isolation door at the far end of the corridor, the bodyguard glanced at the camera with great interest and said with high spirits, "Open the door quickly and let me in. Don't let me miss the operation! ...Hello? Hello! Is there anyone there?" Strange, where have everyone gone?”
After a moment, the bodyguard's expression suddenly changed.
He discovered something unusual.
The isolation door was not locked. When he kicked the door angrily because there was no response, the door, which was said to be able to withstand anti-material weapons, actually opened inward.
He drew his gun almost reflexively.
Behind the folding door is the core area of the treatment plant, which is guarded every day. Ever since the last guard was drunk and did not lock the door and was put into the operating room by the person in charge, no one has dared to do this again.
unless……
The bodyguard carefully leaned in.
It was so quiet inside that I couldn't hear the slightest sound of anyone moving.
But the smell of blood comes from the film area.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and speed up his pace, heading straight for the control room. As soon as he got there, he would be able to activate the security system in the entire facility. By then, minigun turrets and various traps would become his partners.
More importantly, he was able to see what was going on in the facility through surveillance footage.
However, after a few minutes, the bodyguard regretted it.
He would rather he had not seen the surveillance video, let alone come to the control room.
The surveillance video showed him the reason why the facility was empty - before the mutation occurred, everyone had gathered here to prepare for the next operation.
The bodyguard saw someone's body change. He suddenly fell to the ground without any strength while walking. He struggled several times to get up, but failed every time.
Then their bodies began to rot, exposing the bones beneath the skin.
The panicked shouts attracted the attention of others, but when people heard the sound and rushed there, not even the bones of the fallen person were left behind.
4 seconds.
This is how long the entire process lasted as recorded on surveillance video.
An unknown plague spread rapidly, and eventually everyone showed the same symptoms.
And when the whole plague was over, he saw two uninvited guests coming in. They went straight to the second floor of the facility - where the office of the person in charge of the treatment plant was.
And this is the part of this surveillance video that scares the bodyguard the most.
The uninvited guests came up two minutes ago, and the surveillance did not capture their departure.
This also means...
At this moment, he was in the same room with the murderers.
Two hundred and fifty-seven of the small theater:
Monday, a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, in the morning
As an external expert from Colo Pictures, in order to have a deeper understanding of the lives of civil servants in the coalition government, Guan Lili accompanied Song Lan throughout the entire process and observed a day in the minister's life up close.
But Song Lan suspected that this expert had ulterior motives and wanted to discredit public officials of the coalition government through inducement.
He was originally prepared to pretend to work hard, but he didn't expect that Guan Lili brought some gifts that he couldn't refuse-Kolo Films' internal films for this season.
The expert also got the first-hand information she wanted.
Minister Song’s work schedule:
9:00, go to work.
9:15-11:20, watch movies.
11:25-13:00, meal time.
"It's great. No wonder so many people want to work in government departments. I also want to be so free."
Guan Lili stirred the coffee cup with a plastic spoon. When she was working hard at Kolo Pictures, it was common for her to be busy from 7 a.m. to early morning.
"You have a problem with watching movies. This is a sign of lack of ideological awareness."
Song Lan made serious criticism of Guan Lili.
"But you're just watching a movie."
"wrong."
Song Lan shook his head, "This is called receiving foreign guests and learning the spiritual connotation of rescuers."
