The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.
This is an old saying that has been passed down since before the Third War, and it is also the true epitome of the "outside world" over the years. Rosalie and her resistance forces have traveled to various allied countries, and what they have seen the most is because of unreasonable reasons. When people discover rare resources in a poor village, it means that the war is getting closer and closer to them.
But Rosalie never expected that even the Death Crab tribe would now become victims.
According to Lao Xu's simultaneous translation, this "Frostmourne +15" was personally delivered to the hands of the ethnic group by the gods when they were in danger.
With the power of the artifact, they repelled the invading foreign enemies, but it also attracted the covetousness of other forces.
The great sage predicted that the enemy they faced this time was unprecedentedly powerful. If they could not obtain enough reinforcements, the tribe would most likely suffer annihilation.
But the strange thing is that when Lao Xu asked which god gave them the artifact, the young death crab hesitated to speak, and finally prevaricated indiscriminately.
"Old Song, do you have any idea about this?"
Lao Xu turned to Song Lan, who was looking up at the sky. He was trying hard to think about the various possibilities in this matter.
Judging from what is known now, their old friend's power seems to be under unconscious control, which means that anyone who approaches it may be blessed.
"Not yet."
Song Lan cleverly changed the topic, "The supervisor contacted me. She sent Captain Doug, an effective officer of the law enforcement department in the 17th District, to form a cross-border rescue team. The funding for this operation was provided by the wealthy Lieyang The princess sponsors the entire journey and praises the blazing sun!"
This topic successfully inspired the crew of "Dead Man's Lottery" and the kidnapped twelfth neutral girl.
“It’s long past time to deal with these lawless criminals!”
The wonderful adventures of the past few days were like a dream to them. Not only did they escape from the dragon's den, but they were also very likely to witness the destruction of the Brotherhood.
The names of Lu Xiang, Princess Lieyang and the Enforcer fill them with power.
"If you need it, I can send some people to cooperate with your actions and rescue the kidnapped civilians from the 'pig pen'."
Although Rosalie is addicted to board games, she also shoulders the responsibility of leading the entire resistance army.
Among them, "Pig Pen" is the name given by the Brotherhood to many of their entertainment venues. After the civilians who were tricked into coming to the oasis were screened by the Skeleton Gang and the "Garbage Treatment Plant", it meant that they were given the opportunity to temporarily survive in the oasis. There is a possibility that they will first be transferred to Lira, and then the "pig pen" will assign them to "work" in different cities based on each person's expertise.
This kind of work will accompany them for life, and the methods are much more bloody and cruel than those of the coalition government companies.
Before meeting Song Lan and others, no resistance army wanted to start a full-scale war with the Brotherhood.
But as she just said, the actions of the resistance have always been to add fuel to the coming changes. If the Brotherhood is on the verge of extinction, she will not hesitate to help make up for it.
After all, it was not only the people from the coalition government who were deceived by the Brotherhood into coming to the oasis, but also those poor villages with backward information were also their focus.
Then, Rosalie added, "But Oasis belongs to one of the allied countries after all. You are just the local law enforcement department of District 17. You shouldn't have permission for transnational law enforcement, right?"
Actions against crime are worthy of encouragement, but for Oasis, it comes too late.
Before the war of encirclement and suppression broke out, there were still many righteous people in this country who were full of faith and wanted to expel cancer like the Brotherhood from their country.
But today is different from the past.
The war of encirclement and suppression ultimately ended in failure. The mutilated corpses of the resisters were randomly abandoned on the streets, along with their relatives and friends.
The Brotherhood used fear to control the country, and used the wealth gained from the illegal industry to smooth relations and win over the officials in the oasis to their side.
Few people would turn down the luxury of being paid a fortune for sitting in an office and doing nothing.
"Your actions should receive a lot of resistance locally. According to their approach, the relevant departments will use excuses to hold you back, and then sell the personnel's identity information and residence to the brotherhood."
After the encirclement and suppression war, some righteous people from the "outside world" embarked on the path of confrontation with the Brotherhood, but in the end they failed to make any splash in this country.
They are usually attacked the same night they move in, and videos of their deaths somehow end up on the deep web.
Rosalie had seen some of them.
The Brotherhood has always been very creative when it comes to the means of executing their enemies.
"His name is Doug, right? Remind him, I don't want to see videos of him on those websites."
"Don't worry, Captain Doug is a veteran and there will be no problem. As for Lila's officials..."
"Opponents are just like witnesses. They no longer exist if they are all dead."
Lao Xu looked at Song Lan thoughtfully and smiled, and said.
Then the smile on Song Lan's face solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he immediately said, "No, that's not what I meant. Who is this person? How did he get here? He and I have nothing to do with each other. Cooked!"
Claiming in public that he wanted to get rid of the officials of the Allied Powers was much bolder than the behavior of the resistance. Even Rosalie, who had the name of "Pluto", was stunned for a while after hearing this.
Song Lan had to add, "What he just said only represents his personal opinion and has nothing to do with the law enforcement department or District 17."
"What are you doing, kid? I'm just helping you express what's on your mind."
Lao Xu complained dissatisfiedly.
Among these people, he is the one who has known Song Lan for the longest time and is also one of the people who understands Song Lan best.
Even though this guy looks like he's not working hard every day, if he really takes action, he almost never leaves anyone alive.
"What about the officials of the Allied Nations? Compared to the big shots who died in your hands..."
"Obviously, Lao Xu is drunk and has started talking nonsense."
You see, this is why Song Lan does not advocate alcoholism.
"However, what we are serving tonight is almond drink, which does not contain alcohol."
Rosalie reminded.
"You don't know this. Lao Xu is addicted to almonds. Once he drinks almond drinks, he starts to become unconscious or confused. Don't take what he says to heart. He just watches too many movies and always thinks... I fantasize about being the protagonist in a movie.”
Lao Xu didn't argue, he just whistled without meaning.
Song Lan coughed lightly. At this moment, he remembered an old friend who was reported by him before coming to the oasis and his social account was banned.
Everyone’s good bartender, Comrade Ivan.
Their last chat history still stayed in a single "?" 』.
The previous message was "Did you report me?" 』
"Why do you feel that the relationship between you is not as good as you imagined?"
Rosalie had to be suspicious after seeing the chat history.
"None of this is important. What's important is that my friend Ivan knows people from the expatriate department. If they mediate, they might be able to deal with Lira officials."
"How to mediate? Most of those officials have been bribed by the Brotherhood."
"That's true, but life goes on."
Song Lan's answer made her a little unclear, but he had no intention of continuing to explain.
Life goes on.
Based on his research on interest transfer relationships, it often ends with the death of one of the parties. He guessed that the relationship between Lila officials and the Brotherhood was not strong enough to vow to avenge the other party.
Without the Brotherhood, maybe they can develop commerce and tourism. Even if they set up some electronics factories in various cities, they can also significantly increase the national employment rate.
Song Lan did not have an in-depth study of economics, but if Lira officials needed it, the swarm might be able to provide them with a professional consultant.
"I'll just believe you for the time being. I'll stay here to cooperate with your actions. You can go to the Death Crab's station. After all, you are recognized by them as the God of Harvest."
"It's hoping we'd better get going tonight."
Lao Xu took the initiative to act as a translator and explained the advice of the young Death Crab.
…………………………
For the people of Lila City, they are destined to have no peace tonight.
People witnessed a large number of military equipment with the emblem of the Brotherhood, which was as grand as a military tour.
Some people suspect that this is related to the riot at the Golden Stone Casino in the afternoon. A group of people not only smashed up the Golden Stone Casino in broad daylight and kicked out all the guests, but also seriously injured the manager of the casino. It is said that the manager was hit by a speeding gambling machine. He fell down and was taken to the hospital and has not yet woken up.
Just when people were panicking, a familiar voice came from someone's radio station.
Impassioned and full of recognition.
"Good evening! Lila City, I am your good brother William. Today's Dead Man Lotto is a total of 21 people. 16 people died in the Brotherhood alone. There is also a casino manager who is about to die. The Brotherhood will definitely not be able to swallow this. But if they can’t swallow it, they can only hold it in because they are about to finish playing! Listen to me, brotherhood, go to hell.”
"Crack——!"
Civilians almost invariably turned off their radio equipment, fearing that fraternity members armed with fire axes would break into their houses the next second.
This William is dying?
Many civilians have become loyal listeners of the "Dead Man Lottery" program. Before this, it was a program used to promote the methods of the Brotherhood. However, for some reason, the host William posted this after the program was suspended for one day. Crazy, openly spreading such remarks in Oasis.
Turn off the lights, close the doors and windows, and everything outside has nothing to do with them.
After dawn tomorrow, everything will be decided.
In the rebel camp, William felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life after speaking nonsense. Just now, he expressed all the dissatisfaction he had accumulated in his heart after coming to the oasis, and this was all thanks to Director Lu. Technical support provided to them.
When he cursed on the radio show, the entire "Dead Man's Lottery" crew became excited.
This is the point of view they should express as program producers.
The effect is also immediate.
Less than ten minutes after the radio broadcast, two armored hover vehicles with the Brotherhood's emblem on them passed over their heads and landed in front of the camp.
Everything was as Rosalie expected.
There is no absolutely safe place for Oasis people, and not everyone wants to eliminate the cancer that is the Brotherhood.
There was no need for the Brotherhood to pursue it. As soon as the radio broadcast was broadcast, someone informed the Brotherhood of the news that the "Dead Man Lottery" crew was in the resistance camp.
It was Rosalie's idea to air a new radio show, and she welcomed the fraternity members as they arrived.
"William."
William heard a ferocious voice calling his name outside. When he adjusted his mood and suppressed the fear in his heart and went out, the Brotherhood had already raised the price to 1 million watts.
This is no small sum of money.
William had to admit that he was still a little panicked. Now that Song Lan and Lao Xu had followed the young death crabs out of the camp, under the huge financial inducement, what if the rebels were tempted and handed them over to the Brotherhood? manage?
And this figure of 1 million watts is enough to prove how angry the Brotherhood is about what they just did.
"One person has 1 million watts."
Rosalie looked back at the crew of "Dead Man's Lottery" and started raising prices.
"4 million watts, deal."
The leader of the brotherhood readily agreed. He licked his lips and made a gesture of wiping his neck towards William. Hearing the conversation between the two parties, William's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
4 million watts is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for the Brotherhood, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a drop in the bucket.
"Wait a minute, you counted it wrong, it's 12 million watts,"
Rosalie raised her hand to block the leader who was about to draw his gun and step forward.
The leader's brows immediately frowned, "12 million watts?"
The boss did order them to deal with everyone on the "Dead Man Lottery" program team immediately. He hoped to see the mutilated corpses of these people strung on wooden stakes and placed on display in the city square before dawn, but the price was high. Really unpleasant.
“The fraternity values credibility, and I hope you do too.”
"I said one person has 1 million watts, how can I violate my credibility?"
"There were only four of them."
"You counted wrong."
Rosalie's index finger fell on the leader, and she counted them gently, "There are 12 in total. Can you double-check whether I counted correctly?"
"what do you mean?"
"Isn't this the brotherhood's special skill? 12 people, 12 million watts, we will let you go when the money is paid."
Of course, if they follow the formal procedures of the fraternity, they will not let him go even after receiving money.
The locals all know that once sent to the "pig pen", there is no possibility of going back.
But the suffering of outsiders has nothing to do with the locals. They can even become a tool for the locals to make money.
If someone is lucky enough to escape from the "pig pen", the managers of the "pig pen" will issue high reward rewards to encourage people to report these escapees.
And someone like William who dares to use the radio to openly provoke the Brotherhood is undoubtedly a walking fortune.
"I'm really looked down upon by you."
The leader sneered, raised his right hand and aimed at Rosalie, and aimed the projectile launcher device between her eyebrows, "4 million watts, pay with one hand and deliver with the other."
At the same time, all members of the Brotherhood also aimed their weapons at the rebels.
Rosalie did not waver, but looked at him with curious eyes, "If it were you, would you be able to tolerate the 'cargo' pulling out a gun on you?"
There was no sound of the gun going off, and the leader fell forward without any warning, and fell headlong into the yellow sand.
Immediately afterwards, a scene happened that shocked the brotherhood members even more.
They saw Rosalie raise her left hand, and their hands and feet were suddenly out of their control. Even though they tried their best, they could not prevent the weapon in their hands from being pointed at their heads.
"11 million watts, you are allowed to make a phone call to your 'family' to raise money."
After a pause, Rosalie added, "Oh, by the way, let me tell them that I, a heinous rebel, will come to subvert your country."
Small theater its two hundred and sixty-eight:
Tuesday morning on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year
The "Slowbird Observation Manual" shows that Song Lan is the most vulnerable moment of the day when he is sleeping, and once he falls into a deep sleep, many of his actions will be driven by instinct.
When human beings face danger, they can't help but look for a safe harbor.
For Slowpoke, the "buzzing" sound made by mosquitoes is an early warning of crisis, and correspondingly, the warm and soft embrace is a safe harbor.
Every night in the summer, he roosts in the warm harbor.
This is the first time that Guan Lili has read this huge book called "Slowbird Observation Manual".
"Lao Lu, that mosquito is..."
"They are a special breed we have bred. They only make noise and don't sting."
This is specially customized for the Slowpoke physique.
At the same time, it was also to give him a certain psychological hint.
When Song Lan wakes up and finds that she has not been attacked by mosquitoes, she will trust the harbor's protection even more.
"It's better for you city folk to play."
Guan Lili could only sigh.
In order to lure Song Lan into his quilt, Lu Xiang actually cultivated a new species of mosquito!
Improving genes is a high-end technology that only biopharmaceutical companies have!
"But aren't you afraid that one day he will discover these secrets?"
"He's just lazy, not stupid."
The appearance of this mutated mosquito in one or two days can be said to be a coincidence. If it appeared in their bedroom on time every night, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
"How do you know he didn't discover this secret and take the initiative to cooperate with me?"
Guan Lili snapped and said, "City people are really good at playing!"
