With less than a day left before Equality would fall into a trap and be wiped out, the excited Rock Shriver didn't fall asleep until early in the morning, so he got up the latest.
When he woke up, a group of people from the Intelligence Bureau were busy in the room used to monitor Diaz and the others.
"What's going on?"
"Director." Hawkins, the second-in-command of the Intelligence Bureau, saw Rock Shriver awake and walked over from the window. "There was nothing unusual. It was just that at six o'clock, Diaz and Nord came out and patrolled the area for two hours.
.”
"It seems like the guy named Murphy has never come out, right?" Rock Shriver rubbed his face with both hands to wake himself up faster.
Hawkins thoughtfully prepared breakfast and refreshing white wine for Locke Shriver: "Yes, since we started surveillance, the man named Murphy has not come out. He seems to be in charge of logistics. In addition, he is also Dee
Yaz’s younger brother.”
"I know this." Rock Shriver picked up the wine glass and took a sip of white wine. "Okay, go ahead and keep staring, but don't stare too closely. Now we are all on the verge of a victory for the Peace Association.
, they will be extremely cautious, and we must not alert them."
"Understood." Although Hawkins felt that there was no risk of alarming the other party, and it was very difficult to fully grasp the other party's movements, he still agreed quite simply and went to do it.
Because after Boyne escaped and he and Rock Shriver hurried back to the Intelligence Agency, he heard with his own ears that Security Minister White hinted that Rock Shriver would have room for promotion if he could play a key role in the government's victory over the Equality Society.
Very big.
After Locke Shriver left the Intelligence Bureau and moved to a higher level, it was obvious who would replace him as the new director.
Therefore, Hawkins attaches great importance to this best performance opportunity, and is determined to make great contributions in annihilating the Equality Society and maintaining government rule.

nine fifty
The members of the Equality Society hiding in a few blocks near the government building were ready to make a move.
In the watch shop, Morais called together the six cadres who participated in the battle and personally inspected their firearms one by one. There was no fear on his face, but he solemnly said: "Comrades, we have ten minutes left.
The battle is about to begin. I have said many necessary things to you hundreds of times, so I won’t go into too much detail at this last moment. I am only making one last request to you, to survive."
Verak looked directly at Morais.
He was ready to sacrifice, just as he had been when he was tortured by Deputy Warden Lecter in prison.
"Of course, there are prerequisites for surviving this." Morais stood at the door of the watch store, looking at the people coming and going outside. "We can't retreat, we can't be afraid of death. We are leaders, we are stronger than ordinary people.
This kind of strength must at least be reflected in courage. If we are too timid to step forward and use the flesh and blood of other comrades to resist the bullets, then this battle will undoubtedly be lost. Do you understand?"
"Understood." The six people responded in unison without shouting.
"Okay, let's go." Morais lowered his hat and left the watch store first.
Others followed closely behind.
"Teacher." Verak glanced at Keating.
Keating, who had a fake beard on his face and glasses frames, smiled and patted his shoulder before leaving.
Verak turned up the collar of his windbreaker, half of his face hidden in the collar, put his hands in his pockets and finally stepped out of the watch shop with both feet, entering the warm sunshine and chilly streets.
Including Morais, the seven men of different shapes and sizes, but who looked particularly tall at this time, split into three groups and dispersed.
Morais, Verak, Keating, and Rabin walked towards the security department of the government building. Andrew and Menno, who were responsible for attracting government troops in the early stage, rushed to the opposite position of the security department, while Barnett lingered in place, waiting.
After the war begins, gather your own manpower to provide support to both parties at any time.
"Go faster." Morais glanced at his watch, urged Verak and others, and then took the first step to distance himself from them.
Verak, Keating, and the thin Rabin understood what was going on and went their separate ways. They seemed to know no one and had no contact with each other. It took them five minutes to arrive at the outskirts of the Government Security Department building.

inside government building
"What happened to today's breakfast...is it sour..."
"I don't know, damn, my stomach hurts so much!"
The two government workers held their stomachs, with discomfort written all over their faces. They almost supported each other and quickly passed a cleaner in the corridor and moved to the bathroom.
The cleaner who had mopped the floor clean watched the two people leave, looked up at the clock hanging in the corridor, and met the other two cleaners at the corner with a bucket and mop on his face expressionlessly.
"Where are the things?" the eldest among them, the cleaner who looked to be sixty years old, asked the other two who were slightly younger than him.
"In the grocery room," one person replied.
"It's time to get it soon," the leader ordered.
The two cleaners left quickly, and not long after, each came over pushing a trash can.
"Go to your respective places, when the bell rings, throw them out on time." The leader opened the cover, confirmed that the explosives were safe, and whispered, "After throwing them, adapt to the situation and seize the time to meet at the intersection outside. We are still
We must be responsible for delaying their return to aid."
"yes."
"rest assured."
The two cleaners nodded and pushed the trash cans towards both ends of the corridor.
"Come here! Deal with it quickly! The toilet is clogged!" When one of the cleaners passed the bathroom, the government officials who blocked the bathroom with water stopped him.
"I'll do it, I'll do it." The leader gently pushed the companion carrying the explosives and went over to help clear the sewer.
The cleaner who was pushed didn't dare to stay. He counted the time in his mind and hurried to where he wanted to go.

nine fifty-eight
Verak exhaled a white breath and stared at the second hand on his watch, as if he heard a clear "click, click, click" sound in the noisy environment.
Fifty-nine points.
One minute left.
He pretended not to care and looked around, observing Moraes, Keating, and Rabin. Among the three of them, except Keating, who was very loose, the others could be seen to be a little stretched.
In addition to them, members of the Equality Association also gathered over one after another.
They had already planned this, and came in batches when they gathered. Therefore, when they arrived around the government building, the increase in the flow of people did not seem abrupt and did not arouse anyone's alarm.
Thirty seconds left.
Verak didn't know whether it was because he knew the inside story, or because there were more and more people, but everyone could feel a huge sense of oppression surrounding them. In short, his own breathing became thick subconsciously, and his body was cold and hot.
Ten seconds left.
Five seconds.
Verak thought in his mind: "Three, two, one."
When the second hand and minute hand reached directly above the watch, Verak's heart seemed to tremble.
Are you about to start?
He looked far away to the other side, where Andrew Menno was about to attack.
There was no movement there.
Something happened?
"boom!!"
Just as Verak was about to turn around and make eye contact with Morais and Keating, the deafening sound of the explosion made him shrink his neck.
"Boom! Boom!!"
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!"
Continuous explosions sounded, the northernmost side of the government building was filled with flames, and many windows were shattered.
Pedestrians on the road screamed and ran away in fear, and there was a visible commotion in the building.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After the explosion, clear and dense gunshots rang out. It was Andrew Menno who led three hundred comrades of the Equality Association to launch an attack on the government building that represented the Bresci Republic and the old system!

government building, presidential office
Louis Francois, the President of the Republic of Bressey, was startled by the sudden explosion and fierce gunfire, and then looked at each other with several cabinet ministers who happened to be talking in his office.
"What's going on?!" the white-haired Francois asked in shock and anger.
"Your Excellency, President!" Immediately after the explosion, a team of guards responsible for the president's security broke in. "It's the Equality Society who are attacking us! It's not yet certain how many people there are on the other side, but it's obvious that they have enough firepower.
You came prepared! We have to take you out of here!"
"Equality?!" Francois thought it was soldiers from some country who were pressing down on the border. He never thought that the little Equality would stop hiding in Tibet and dare to attack the government. "Where's White?! Where's Rock Shriver?
! Where are the guards?! What do they do for food! Call me first!"
The captain of the guard remained calm in the face of danger and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the phone line has been cut off. We have contacted them and the garrison outside the city via telegram as soon as possible. However, this will take time. We have to ensure your safety first and take you there."
Left!"

Chloe's group, in the main station disguised as a grocery store
"President, this is the list of personnel who will take over Morais's various positions." A subordinate handed Chloe the personnel list he had prepared in the past few days for his review.
Chloe sat in the office and read through it carefully: "Just follow this. It will be twelve o'clock in two hours. You can arrange for people to set off. If you can take over one minute earlier, take over one minute earlier."
"clear."
"President!" Before the cadres in front took back the personnel list from Chloe, the cadres from behind rushed in, "Something big has happened!"
"Don't get confused and speak slowly." Chloe knew that only Morais and the others could be in big trouble at this point, and now that something happened to Morais and the others, it would inevitably lead to chaos, and his heart was torn.
.
The cadre said anxiously: "Several explosions occurred near the Mona Pavilion! Although no one was injured, it caused the interruption of today's exhibition!"
"Damn it!!" Chloe stood up and couldn't help but yelled, "Morais is an idiot! Idiot!!"
"President!" There was another panicked shout, and another person came in. Before Chloe could ask, he gasped and said, "There are people at the Mona Hall who are fighting with the government's heavy troops, and they are fighting at the same time.
Let’s evacuate here!”
"President! There was an explosion in a neighborhood near us, and patrol guards are now blocking the streets!"
"President! There are soldiers checking our side!"
One after another, cadres rushed to the conference room to report the situation to Chloe.
"Morais!!" Chloe roared, wishing to cut Morais into pieces right now, "I left him alive! But now he wants to kill me with the help of the government!!"
"President! Should we withdraw now or negotiate peace with the government?!"
"Call me the government!" Chloe calmed down and did not forget to try to reach cooperation with the government at the last moment.
"President! The phone line has been cut off!"
But his hopes were ruthlessly extinguished just as they had risen.
"Mo! Mo——" Chloe was so angry that her whole body was shaking, she muttered Morais' name angrily and fell backwards.
"President!" Everyone supported Chloe.
One of them pointed out the only thing they could do now when they were leaderless: "While the heavy troops at Mona Hall have not been attracted by Morais and the others, let's seize the time and lead people to break through the blockade of the patrol guards!"
"Yes, yes! How can the government listen to our explanation now? If we don't leave, it will be too late!"
"Hurry up and organize your men to prepare for battle!"
"Go, go, go!"
——
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
While Boyne and Daniel were playing chess boredly, gunfire suddenly sounded outside.
The chess piece in Daniel's hand fell on the table. The moment he was stunned, Boyin quickly came to the window and checked the situation outside.
"What's going on!" Daniel reacted and rushed over.
"It's Morais and the others who have taken action! Their focus is not the Mona Pavilion! It's not the expo! It's the government building!" Boyin looked at the comrades on the other side outside as they approached the north side of the government building step by step, forcing the government building to
The guards inside gathered towards the north, and a smile suddenly appeared on their faces, "This is a better move! You can catch them by surprise, and you can also use the opportunity to rescue us!"
Daniel tilted his head crazily and finally saw something: "That's not right, President! If they want to save us, why would they go north? Besides, those few hundred people alone can't knock down the government building, can they?!"
"That should be just a cover. The main force has not moved yet. Morais is waiting for us on the south side where the troops are empty." Boyin understood Morais' combat style, "Let's go!"
"Go? Where?" Daniel was confused the whole time.
Boyin quickly came to the sofa, held the sofa with his uninjured arm, and used his whole body to push the sofa toward the door: "Block the door! Hurry!"
"Okay!" Daniel didn't understand why they had to block the door since Morais and the others were coming to rescue them, but he knew Boyin thought better than him, so he came over without hesitation and helped push the sofa to the door.
forward.
As soon as the sofa touched the door, the door handle started to twist. Someone from outside wanted to come in!
"Open the door!" Guard Boyin and Daniel's guards found that they couldn't open the door and began to bang.
"It's not enough! Come again!" Boyin saw that the door was shaking a little, and once again aimed at the bookshelf, he called Boyin and pulled him towards the door.
Daniel gritted his teeth and carried the bookshelf, pushing it down in front of the door: "Are you afraid that the government people will move us away?"
"Well, you keep looking for something to block the door! I'm going to check the situation!" Boyin's mind was spinning very fast. After handing over the task of guarding the door to Daniel, he came to the window alone to watch the battle.

Southern District Military Warehouse, in the room of the Intelligence Bureau
"boom!"
"boom!"
A dull explosion sounded.
"Director?!" Hawkins heard the noise and looked at Rock Shriver. Other members of the Intelligence Bureau were also stunned.
"Where did this come from?" Rock Shriver wanted to tell it himself, but the sound came from all directions, seeming to be far away and yet very close at the same time.
"I don't know." Hawkins shook his head.
Uneasiness hit Rock Shriver's heart. He hurriedly came to the window to hide from his subordinates' telescopes and looked at the window of Diaz's room. There was no movement there: "Contact me to the government building!"
"Yes!" Hawkins went to make a call, and soon said tremblingly, "Director...can't get through!"
"It's over..." Locke Shriver let go of the telescope and let it fall to the ground.
——
In Diaz's room, the three of them crowded in front of the window and listened to what was going on outside.
"I heard it, I heard it!" Nord shouted excitedly, "The general attack has begun! Listening to this movement, the whole city is probably in commotion!"
"Shh." Diaz motioned for him to quiet down.
Murphy looked at Diaz helplessly, wanting to say something but holding back.
After listening for less than ten seconds, Diaz frowned and left the closed window, taking all the pistols and bullets: "Be prepared! Rock Shriver will realize at any time that there is a problem and take action against us, and Charles will also take action.
A signal will be sent to rescue us at any time!"
"Yeah!" Murphy loaded the gun.
"I don't know where Verak is now, whether he is accompanying Charles to save us, or whether he is attacking the government building with Morais."
