As soon as He Ao walked out of the chapel, a figure rushed over.
He Ao subconsciously wanted to kick him out.
I endured it.
Ivo rubbed his younger brother's face excitedly and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "I haven't seen him for so long. He's grown stronger."
He Ao glanced at Ivo's body.
Although he was covered with bandages, his physical condition seemed to be much better. The blood stains on the bandages had dried up and no new blood stains appeared. His large movements did not cause the wound to tear, which proved that the wound was healing well.
The bandages on his body were also loose and fell to the ground as he moved.
It had only been one night. The pharmacist was so skilled. He was able to save such a serious injury so quickly.
As he spoke, at this time, Ivo suddenly held He Ao's face and began to use his thumbs to pull the corners of He Ao's mouth on both sides, pulling out a smile.
"Don't look depressed. It's not good for your health to look bitter and resentful all the time. Come on, smile and give a smile to your brother."
He Aoneng could clearly feel his brows furrowed into a "Chuan" shape.
Calm down, calm down, I am Nell now, and this is the fourth brother, after all, he is the fourth brother.
Don't mess around with your hands.
"Why don't you speak? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ivo looked at He Ao strangely.
He Ao looked down and glanced at the hand that was holding his mouth open.
There was a brief silence.
He took a deep breath.
calm down.
"Hey, you who don't talk or smile, come and smile, smile once in the morning, and you will be happy both physically and mentally throughout the day."
Ivo tried hard to pull the corners of He Ao's mouth, trying to make his brother laugh.
Tolerate···
I can't stand it anymore!
He Ao directly reached out and picked up the unfortunate guy, carried him to the church pillar nearby like a chicken, rolled up the bandage on the ground, and tied him directly to the pillar.
"Nel, you murdered your own brother! I haven't recovered from my injuries yet, you can't do this to me!"
Ivo was tied to the pillar by his brother without any resistance.
Looking at Ivo, He Ao finally understood that when God gives something, he will always take away the same thing.
In two years, he went from knowing nothing to being able to perfectly pilot a C-class mecha. Ivo's mecha talent is not bad.
While God gave Ivo the perfect mecha talent, he also conveniently took away his brain.
Yesterday he thought this fourth brother had become smarter.
Unexpectedly, it was only a temporary comeback.
Ivo's brain makes zombies shake their heads and leave.
call--
After tying Ivo to the pillar, He Ao felt that he felt a little happier. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the church door.
In fact, Nell had long wanted to bully his fourth brother, who was sometimes completely brainless, but he couldn't beat him. Every time he tried, he would be beaten back by the fourth brother.
He Ao felt that some long-suppressed resentment had dissipated, and he walked a little lighter.
Ivo, who was tied to the pillar, looked at his brother's brisk back and smiled.
At this time, a chuckle came from the side, and a woman in simple clothes walked over with her face covered.
Ivo suddenly realized a serious problem. There were quite a lot of people passing by this corridor in the morning, and many of them were people he knew.
When he was at the Federal Military Academy, Ivo once heard a saying.
There are three deaths in a person's life.
The first time is when your heart stops and your physical body dies.
The second time is at the funeral, you die in society.
The third time is when the last person who remembers you dies and you die in history.
Iwo Ivo feels that his physical body is not dead yet, and he doesn’t want to die yet.
"Nel! Good brother! Nel!!! Brother is wrong, brother is wrong, please untie me!!!"
······
He Ao didn't hear Ivo's shouting, and even if he heard it, he would pretend not to hear it.
He returned to the main hall of the church, found the pharmacist who was checking the bodies one by one, and asked whether being tied to the pillar would affect Ivo's injury.
After receiving the pharmacist's reply of "no impact", He Ao walked straight towards the side door on the right. He remembered that the old foreman entered through this side door last night.
At this moment, the side door was closed, and there was a thin young man standing in front of the door. He stopped in front of the door, seeming to be hesitating about something.
At this time, He Ao walked over. He glanced at He Ao, turned around and left.
He Ao glanced at the young man in confusion. He had just come to the Miners' Mutual Aid Association and had no idea what this man did.
He walked to the side door.
There was a soft rustling sound inside the door, as if the old man was slowly getting dressed.
He Ao waited for a moment, until the sound stopped completely and slow footsteps sounded inside the door, then he reached out and knocked on the door.
"Hold on."
An old voice came from inside the house.
After a while, the door opened, and an old man wearing simple gray and white clothes appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
"Nel?" The old man seemed a little surprised by He Ao's appearance, "What do you want from me?"
He Ao pointed to the room, "I encountered something in the church last night and wanted to talk to you."
···ten minutes later···
He Ao simply told the story of discovering the underground library in the early morning and meeting Ilia An in the library.
However, he concealed the secret knowledge and simply summarized the events.
As the old foreman gets older, his resistance to pollution will be weaker, and he may easily cause problems if he knows too much.
"Ms. Iliaan was the speaker of the last city council," the old foreman said slowly. "After the change of the last council, the current mayor came to power and her party became the minority party, so she gave up her position as a member.
With his identity, he quit politics and lived in seclusion in this church."
He Ao: "She and the miners will help each other...?"
"She was a major supporter of the Miners' Mutual Aid Society,"
The old foreman looked at He Ao and smiled, "When I decided to build a big miners' mutual aid association, she contacted me and said that she could give us financial and partial resource support. Most of the funds of the miners' mutual aid association were
She provided it."
It turns out that the Miners' Mutual Aid Association is not small in scale and has existed for nearly ten years. Most of the participants are miners who have nothing.
He Ao was still a little confused before, where did the old foreman's funds and channels come from. After all, any organization must have a stable source of funds if it wants to continue.
Hatred can only support the will to fight, but cannot fill the stomach.
The Speaker of the City Council is the official who presides over the council. If the mayor has an accident or resigns, the Speaker is the second in line of succession after the deputy mayor and is one of the most senior officials in the fortress city.
And because the speaker is elected by a vote of the parliament, it is easier for the majority party to elect its own member to be the speaker. Therefore, the speaker is often the leader of the majority party on the city council and can influence the behavior of the council and thus the abolition of laws.
The main source of funding for the Miners' Mutual Aid Association comes from the former city council speaker. This is something worth pondering.
The Miners' Mutual Aid Association and the mining consortium are mortal enemies, and judging from the mobilization of the city defense troops last night, the current mayor is likely to be a powerful figure in the mining consortium.
Is Iliaan secretly supporting the Miners' Mutual Aid Association to deal with political opponents?
She regarded the Miners' Mutual Aid Association as a sharp knife?
He Ao does not dislike this kind of operation. Facing a common enemy, the interest relationship of mutual use is sometimes more stable and easier to predict than emotions.
As long as your will is not dominated by the other party.
"Nel," while He Ao was thinking, the old foreman turned around, looked at a small mining pick hanging on the wall, and suddenly asked, "It's your first time here, what do you think the miners' mutual aid will be like?"
organize?"
Hearing this question, He Ao was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he said softly, "A small group united by hatred."
Hearing this answer, the old foreman was slightly stunned. He looked at He Ao, nodded slightly, and then asked slowly, "Do you think the Miners' Mutual Aid Association can achieve its goal? Can it solve the mining consortium?"
He Ao thought seriously for a while, then shook his head and said,
“It is almost impossible for the Miners’ Mutual Aid Association to solve the mining consortium.
The mining consortium is not a certain person or a small group. It is a community of interests united with the mine as the core and all people who rely on mining and related industries for their livelihood.
It is almost impossible to overthrow the mining consortium by just relying on hatred and hatred by a few people to overthrow the mining consortium. If you kill all the board of directors, a new board of directors will be elected. If an Ice Wolf Gang is destroyed, a new Fire Wolf Gang will emerge.
As long as the foundation of the existence of the mining consortium remains unchanged, then the Miners' Mutual Aid's attack on it will be like cutting a fingernail with a nail clipper. After it is cut, it will grow again, never ending, until the nail clipper is shattered."
The old foreman turned his back, reached out and took down the small mining pick from the wall.
Nowadays, the entire federal mining industry uses mining machinery, and there are very few places where mining picks are used.
The small mining pick that the old foreman took off looked more like some kind of souvenir. It was made entirely of metal, with a black pickaxe head and imitation wood textures on the pickaxe body.
What He Ao said was a bit unpleasant. He almost denied the significance of the existence of the Miners' Mutual Aid Association and the goals that the people of the Mutual Aid Association have worked hard for in the past ten years.
But this is indeed a fact. In the past ten years, the Miners' Mutual Aid Association has not only failed to harm the mining consortium, but has seen the mining consortium become more and more powerful.
The mining consortium is also becoming more and more ruthless in its work.
The old foreman stared at the mining pick in his hand and suddenly asked hoarsely, "Son, where do you think mutual aid is lacking?"
In fact, He Ao didn't have much affection for the Miners' Mutual Aid Association, but the old miners rescued the fourth brother after all and sent him to study at the Federal Military Academy.
From Nell's point of view, this is a big deal.
Moreover, if He Ao wants to complete the main mission, he may have to rely on the power of the Miners' Mutual Aid Association.
He thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts,
"The Miners' Mutual Aid Association is an organization established based on the hatred of miners who lost their loved ones towards the mining consortium. The common hatred and common enemies make the Mutual Aid Association extremely cohesive and give the Mutual Aid Association a high combat effectiveness.
But hatred leads to destruction and destruction. Most people do not have the consciousness of death. They just want to live simply, hoping that tomorrow will be better.
Hatred has made the mutual aid association a success, but it has also stymied it, making it difficult for it to grow and gain recognition among ordinary miners whose lives are not so desperate."
The old foreman raised his head and glanced at He Ao in surprise.
He knew Nell's identity and the fact that almost all of Nell's family was forced to death by the mining consortium.
Theoretically speaking, Nell's hatred for the mining consortium ranks at the top of the entire mutual aid association, but the old foreman heard a rational analysis.
Although he could feel that He Ao was suppressing a volcano when he spoke.
But in the end, this child did not allow hatred to overwhelm his sanity.
"We have been fighting with hatred for many years," the old foreman sat on the chair and looked at He Ao. "The mining consortium is so powerful. If we give up our hatred, we will lose the power to fight the mining consortium."
"The flames that destroy palaces often start from inside the palace first, and magnificent edifices often collapse on their fragile foundations."
He Ao looked back at the old foreman. He felt that the old man seemed to be guiding him to express some opinions.
"Hate cannot be let go. Although the mining consortium and the community of interests surrounding the mining consortium are strong, this solid fortress is not without weaknesses. The people who rule the fortress are constantly tearing down the foundation of the fortress to decorate their tops.
splendid palace.
The shareholders of the mining consortium, surrounding the rentiers of the mining consortium, use crude methods to exploit the miners at the bottom, constantly reducing ‘costs’, raising the stock price, and obtaining excess profits.
The mutual aid association was actually born from the oppressed miners, but the people in the mutual aid association are the most desperate group of oppressed miners."
At this point, he paused, "If the mutual aid association really wants to overthrow the mining consortium, it is best to go back to the miners, seek help from the oppressed miners, and build consensus among the majority.
They are the cornerstone of the entire mining consortium, and only by combining their strength can it be possible to destroy the mining consortium."
The old foreman looked at He Ao with twinkling eyes, "The mining consortium controls most of the city defense forces, and they also have mercenary corps. The miners' demonstrations and strikes have been suppressed every time, and each time has become more severe."
He Ao realized the problem almost immediately, "The stronger the pressure on the powder keg, the more terrifying the destruction caused when it explodes."
Then he caught the key words in the old foreman's words, "Most of the city defense troops are under control? In other words, there are still some city defense troops that are not under the control of the mining consortium?"
The old foreman's eyes almost gleamed when he looked at He Ao. He opened his mouth and was about to answer He Ao's question. At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a young man looked at the old foreman anxiously.
"Old foreman, look, look, watch the mayor's speech."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
The old foreman stretched out his hand to comfort the young man, and then raised his bracelet.
At the same time, He Ao also raised his bracelet.
At this moment, the mayor's speech is being broadcast live to the entire Rock City.
As He Ao clicked on the live broadcast, a middle-aged man with a gentle face and neatly dressed in formal clothes appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
"... Rock City has been standing on this ice field for more than seven hundred years. In these seven hundred years, there has never been a horrific incident like yesterday."
"I have met Mr. Vinson. He is a humble, courteous and compassionate entrepreneur. He donates more than five million to the Rock City Charitable Foundation every year, and these donations will become a street
The source of free food distributed to homeless people has also become a pillar for children from poor families to go to school."
"But such a virtuous gentleman was attacked by a group of crazy and violent criminals last night and died tragically at their hands."
"This group of vicious criminals not only brutally killed Mr. Vincent, but also brutally attacked the chief of staff of the city defense army, Mr. Ruolanke, who came to persuade them to surrender."
"A hero who worked hard to protect our city and protect our lives from the claws of alien beasts lost his young life like this."
"As the mayor of Rock City, I didn't sleep last night. The emergence of such horrific and crazy criminals during my term of office is my responsibility and the responsibility of the city hall."
"Here, I stand here, in front of the people of Rock City, in front of the successive mayors of Rock City for the past seven hundred years, and I swear with my life that I will capture these dirty and cruel criminals and bring them to justice.
The people of Rock City are back under safe skies."
The mayor on the screen gave an impassioned speech to the camera. There was warm applause from all around, but no one could be seen.
"Vinson is the only person who can prevent the mayor from taking power in the mining consortium. Now that Vincent is dead, the mayor has full control of the power of the mining consortium."
The old foreman looked at the bracelet seriously and said softly.
"He should have known about the Mutual Aid Association's plan through some channel," a person at the door answered, "so he used the plan to guide the Mutual Aid Association to kill Vincent or eliminate Vincent's power, and then dumped the blame on the Mutual Aid Association, killing two birds with one stone.
That means you have eliminated your enemies, and you have an honest reason to clean up the mutual aid association."
He Ao looked up and saw that it was Ivo standing at the door. He had some torn bandages wrapped around his body. It looked like he had torn the bandages off by force and ran over.
But He Ao itself was not tied very tightly, and it could still be torn apart with a little force.
However, Ivo was able to analyze these, which made He Ao look a little sideways, giving him the illusion that his clever IQ had once again occupied the high ground.
However, it is within a reasonable range. The old foreman gave the introduction. Ivo himself guessed yesterday that he was being murdered with a borrowed knife. It is not difficult to associate this level with the combination.
"I'm afraid the situation is even worse," the old foreman shook his head. "I'm afraid he will use this name to mobilize the city defense army to clean up all the miners and eliminate those who have a history of resistance or are currently resisting."
"He's crazy?"
Ivo was a little confused.
"He's not crazy."
He Ao said calmly.
He stares at the mayor in this video.
Although the temperament, makeup, and movements were completely different, there was still a face that emerged from He Ao's mind, overlapping with the mayor's face.
In the video of the fifth sister taking out the chip with her life, she once talked with Locke and ordered the slaughter of the miner's 'supervisor'.
At this moment, He Ao understood the reason why the video was named ‘m’. ‘m’ is the first letter of the word mayor in federal language.
