For a moment, there was silence, and the bursts of shouting suddenly disappeared, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Li Yi looked around and asked again.
"What? You don't even dare?"
Everyone was silent.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi already knew it.
Most of these people have lost the arrogance they once had, their energy has been blunted, and they will never do something that would be frowned upon by the world.
Even if it was to avenge themselves, they probably wouldn't dare to do it.
However, Li Yi did not give up. After thinking about it, he decided to tell them the results of his reconnaissance.
"You must not know what the Heavenly King's City looks like today, right?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Yi sneered secretly, and then dropped a bombshell.
"Ordinary people in the city are fine, and they don't suffer any unfair treatment. But the upper class...that is, your family members, are not treated so well."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd, obviously this sentence attracted their attention.
If there was anything else they could miss about this King's City, it was probably their family members who also didn't have time to escape.
"Um, sir, can I ask how my family is doing now?"
A man who was so dirty that his appearance was almost unrecognizable raised his hand carefully and asked. It took Li Yi a long time to figure out who the other person was.
"Oh, Minister of City Defense, right? I really know how your family is doing. Well... how should I put it? Your family should be treated relatively well. They are currently in the research institute. Work."
Li Yi deliberately emphasized the words "research institute", and as soon as the city defense minister heard these three words, his face immediately turned extremely pale, and then, a fire that he had not seen for a long time appeared in his eyes.
He was angry.
Li Yi ignored him and turned to look at the others. He wanted to know what these people would think after learning what happened to the family of the Minister of City Defense. You must know that what he said was that the treatment was slightly better. of.
How bad is it?
What's more, they all know what the so-called research refers to and who the Minister of City Defense is. Naturally, his family members are not talented researchers.
Then one can imagine what his family was assigned to do in the research institute.
It's a research institute, it's for people to study!
Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and their original thoughts of escaping gradually disappeared.
Li Yi decided to strike while the iron was hot, but he did not add fuel to the fire. He just described the current situation he saw in Tianwang City in detail based on the facts he saw.
Gradually, the eyes of these senior officials of Tianwang City changed.
That kind of vigor that they hadn't seen for a long time appeared on their faces again. At this time, they were like a group of beasts full of hatred. Once they saw their enemies, they would pounce on them and tear them to pieces without hesitation.
And what Li Yi wants is this effect.
But he didn't show it. After saying this, he sighed deliberately, then opened everyone's cage and released them all, and then slowly spoke.
"I just don't want humans to suffer this kind of treatment anymore. You must know that although these robots were created by humans, they are no longer the tools we know. Instead, they have become enemies that are incompatible with humans. Such creatures are destined to It is impossible to tolerate the existence of human beings. Now they are just taking advantage of your family members. In the future, I think maybe this human king city will no longer exist."
After saying this, Li Yi deliberately stayed for a long time, then pretended to turn around and prepare to leave, but in fact he was thinking silently in his heart.
3……2……1…….
"Sir, don't leave. Just tell me what to do! No matter what, we were once the managers of this city. How can we tolerate this city being destroyed in our hands?"
The first person to speak was the former Lord of the Heavenly King City who claimed to be the Heavenly King.
Otherwise, a person who has been a leader can still speak at a certain level. Even if he is just from a rough background, he still understands that no matter what he does, the first thing is to stand upright.
With such a layer of righteousness suppressed, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
Li Yi conjured up many medicines and weapons.
"I found these all from Tianwang City. They are not used by robots, but you can. Of course, I think you should listen to him on what to do next. After all, there is no one in this city. I am more familiar with him than him. If you want to do something, I think this person is more suitable for command."
When he said this, Li Yi pointed directly at the King of Heaven with an extremely sincere expression.
When the other party saw his move, he was slightly startled at first, and then his face became much better. When he spoke, his tone became much more enthusiastic, and he even took the initiative to rectify the team.
"In this case, I will do my duty. What is your surname, this little brother? My surname is Tao, and my given name is Ran. Everyone, please call me Heavenly King. You can just call me Tao Ran."
Li Yi smiled slightly when he heard this and cupped his hands.
"It turns out to be Brother Tao, whose name I have admired for a long time."
He could tell that the other party and the people around him were all very loyal people, so he followed the local customs and imitated their tone of voice.
In this way, the distance between everyone was indeed shortened a lot, and his selfless behavior of donating medicine and weapons quickly won everyone's favor.
Originally, Tao Ran was worried that Li Yi's arrival would steal his limelight, but Li Yi's willingness to accept the offer won him his trust.
For a moment, there was harmony in the water prison, and it seemed that there had never been so much laughter and laughter.
Soon, in the rancid water prison, both parties reached an agreement.
Li Yi will not interfere with the actions of Tao Ran and his group. On the contrary, he will provide help at the appropriate time. This help includes but is not limited to providing them with a safer route of action so that they can Better to rescue their families and the "information" that Tao Ran keeps talking about.
It is said that those materials are all the records in the history of Tianwang City and are of great reference value. In order to prevent these precious materials from being destroyed by the robots, the former city lord did not hesitate to risk his own life to get them back.
Of course, what the actual situation is is a matter of opinion.
Anyway, Li Yi would not believe that a guy who wanted to escape before breaking through the city would have any determination to protect the information and put himself in danger.
Those so-called "data" are most likely properties collected during this person's term in office.
After twists and turns, under the leadership of Li Yi, everyone quickly arrived at the exit of the water prison.
Looking at the group of senior officials from the former Tianwang City who looked haggard but full of fighting spirit, Li Yi sneered secretly, but on the surface he still looked enthusiastic.
"Then I wish you all success. I will go and find out the way for you to facilitate your next actions."
Perhaps it was because he had recovered from some injuries after treatment, or perhaps because Li Yi was too humble to them. Just now, these senior officials acted as if they would even let me lick my toes as long as they saved me.
Now he feels good about himself, and when faced with Li Yi's farewell, he just replied lightly.
"Okay, then go ahead."
That's it.
Watching Li Yi's figure disappear into the night, a person next to him came up and whispered to Tao Ran.
"Boss, is this guy trustworthy?"
Tao Ran looked like he wanted to swore sworn vows to Li Yi just now, but now he just snorted coldly after hearing these words, looking like he didn't take him seriously at all.
"Let's see and then talk. Go get the money first, and then we'll talk after we get all our money."
"Ah? Boss, what about our family?"
Tao Ran was furious when he heard this.
"Are you sick? Have you returned to your family? After working as an official for a few days, are you still addicted to officialdom? As long as you have money, the whole world is the family of labor and management. Those people will die when they die. Don't worry about it. If everything goes well, you can bring them back. It’s okay, if things go wrong, just take the money and run away.”
"Oh, got it."
Tao Ran cursed and kicked the other person.
"If you know it, hurry up and follow him. Since that kid wants to lead the way, you have to make use of him. Let him be cannon fodder first. If the situation goes wrong, sell him and run away. Do you understand?"
Everyone understood what he said.
"Understood!"
"Walk!"
