Chapter 481 Sparks
by SunflowerSu Ming watched this scene, his expression changing, then he spoke to Jeva and the others.
“Your resistance like this won’t work. It definitely won’t succeed. Instead, you’ll be wiped out in one go.”
“Why?”
Jeva and the others looked at Su Ming in confusion.
“The enemy isn’t as simple as you think. These guards in the underground residential area are, at most, just lackeys of the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom; they don’t even count as regular soldiers.”
Su Ming said to Jeva and the others.
“Then what should we do?”
Jeva and the others said, somewhat dumbfounded.
“Can you take me to see Vickent?”
Su Ming said to Jeva and the others.
“No problem, we were going to find him anyway.”
Jeva quickly led Su Ming towards Vickent.
At this moment, Vickent was giving instructions to Hafu and the others.
“Brother Vickent!”
Jeva and the others called out to Vickent.
Vickent was very happy to see Jeva and the others, along with Su Ming, approaching, and he replied, “You’re here!”
“Yes, Brother Vickent, what you just said was excellent.”
Jeva and the others said admiringly.
“What’s so good about it? I just spoke about the oppression and unfair treatment everyone has suffered over the years. Let’s not talk about that. Do you need anything from me?”
Vickent shook his head and replied.
“Brother Su, I want to talk to you about something.”
Su Ming said very seriously.
“Brother Su, speak.”
Vickent replied politely, after all, Su Ming had killed Captain Goya.
“Your resistance like this won’t work; you’ll only be annihilated by the other side. You need to understand one thing: the enemy you face isn’t just the enemy in the residential area. When you step out of the underground and come to the city above, you will begin to face the true enemy. They possess weapons beyond your imagination; you have no chance of winning at all.”
Su Ming said to Vickent.
“Hmph, if you’re scared, you don’t have to participate. Brother, don’t listen to him spouting nonsense here. In my opinion, he’s just a coward.”
Hafu sneered disdainfully.
Vickent raised his hand to interrupt Hafu and said politely to Su Ming,
“Brother Su, thank you for your reminder, but even if the odds are slim, we must fight to the end.”
“Why? Shouldn’t secretly accumulating strength be the most correct choice at this time?”
“That’s because we are no longer willing to live on in this miserable state.”
“But this is just throwing yourselves away for nothing; you can’t win.”
Su Ming tried to persuade him, a headache forming.
“No, the great Divine Lord will bless us with victory. Back then, Lord Divine Lord created a miracle with just a wooden stick, unified the world, and established a fair and just utopia.”
Vickent replied with great reverence.
“That…”
Su Ming was stunned when he heard Vickent’s words. He really wanted to tell Vickent that times had changed, and even their Divine Lord wouldn’t be of any use; he would also be shot dead. Although his situation back then was very difficult, Vickent and their current situation was even more against the odds; the difficulty of the two was not on the same level.
“Brother Su, don’t try to persuade us anymore. Our minds are made up.”
Vickent said to Su Ming with firm resolve.
“Alas~”
Su Ming couldn’t help but sigh. This Vickent actually had quite a charismatic personality, but it was a pity he was born at the wrong time and was too limited, otherwise he should have achieved something.
“Of course, Brother Su, you don’t have to worry. We’re not completely without a chance. This resistance isn’t just us; many areas are rebelling together.”
Vickent said to Su Ming.
“Alright.”
Su Ming was also startled when he heard Vickent’s words. It turned out these people had someone above them; it was organized and planned.
However, even so, Su Ming wasn’t optimistic, because he knew better than anyone how strong the enemy was.
“Thank you!”
Vickent also reached out and patted Su Ming’s shoulder in thanks.
Then he pulled out a small bottle of clean water and some treasured dried meat from his pocket, handing them to Su Ming and saying,
“Brother Su, I heard Jeva say you can’t eat the food here. Take this clean water and food.”
“Isn’t this a bit much?”
Su Ming replied with a slight surprise. Although these things weren’t very valuable, in a specific environment and situation, they were practically life-saving.
“There’s nothing wrong with it, we’re all brothers!”
Vickent directly shoved the items into Su Ming’s hand.
Hafu, standing nearby, saw Vickent take out the precious water and dried meat for Su Ming, and a very displeased expression appeared on his face, but he didn’t dare to act out.
“Thank you.”
Su Ming didn’t refuse. He indeed desperately needed water and clean food to recover his body at the moment.
Although he had injected the IV Type Genetic Drug and was more resilient than ordinary people, he couldn’t endure it for too long.
“I still have a lot of things to arrange, so I won’t chat with you anymore.”
After Vickent finished speaking, he left with Hafu and the others.
Su Ming looked at the retreating figures of Vickent and the others, then at the food and water in his hand, his expression a little melancholic.
“Sir, we still have some things to do. How about you and Aoji go back first?”
Jeva said to Su Ming.
“Okay.”
Su Ming nodded slightly, then followed Aoji away.
A long time later, as Su Ming and Aoji walked out of the mine tunnel, Su Ming suddenly stopped.
“Sir, what’s wrong?”
Aoji looked up at Su Ming in confusion.
“Aoji, let’s go to that warehouse.”
Su Ming said to Aoji.
“Okay!”
Although Aoji didn’t know what Su Ming was going to do, he still obediently responded.
The two then changed direction and walked towards the warehouse.
Soon, the two returned to the abandoned warehouse. This abandoned warehouse belonged to Captain Goya, and the residents living in this area were very afraid of Captain Goya and his men, so no one dared to approach here.
Su Ming glanced at Ilyinas, who still showed no change, seemingly still in a deep sleep.
Immediately after, his gaze fell upon the fallen Mecha.
Su Ming walked to the Light Guard Mecha, laboriously climbed up, and crawled into the cockpit through the broken opening.
Goya’s clothes lay on the pilot’s seat, the inside already drained.
Su Ming carefully checked the extent of the damage.
“Sir, can you repair it?”
Aoji asked admiringly when he saw Su Ming examining the Mecha.
“It’s too badly damaged, it can’t be repaired.”
Su Ming’s mouth twitched slightly as he spoke, hearing Aoji’s words.
“That’s too bad.”
Aoji replied with some disappointment.
Although only the cockpit of this Light Guard Mecha was pierced and the damage was not severe, he simply didn’t know how to repair it.
Su Ming sighed slightly, then reached into Goya’s clothes, pulled out a beam gun and a stack of money, and discarded the other useless items. Then he slowly climbed down and walked towards the other Mecha.
Soon, Su Ming collected five beam guns and 50,000 Apocalypse Coins. Immediately after, he and Aoji left the warehouse.
Two days later.
Su Ming lay in bed recuperating. Although his body had recovered somewhat and his basic movements were no longer a problem, he still tried to stay in bed as much as possible when he had nothing to do. This would reduce physical exertion and help his body recover.
At this moment, Jeva walked into the room, looking a little nervous.
Su Ming turned his head to Jeva and asked,
“What’s wrong?”
“Sir, we’re going to make our move.”
Jeva took a deep breath and said.
Su Ming heard this and said seriously,
“Jeva, listen to me, absolutely do not go. This kind of sacrifice is meaningless.”
“Sir, we may not have much knowledge, but we know you’re right, and you’re doing this for our good. However, Vickent and we are very good brothers. At this time, we cannot back down and abandon our brothers. Even if we die, it doesn’t matter.”
“You must go?”
“Yes, but don’t worry, Aoji will stay behind to take care of you.”
Jeva said to Su Ming.
“Brother, I want to go too!”
Aoji immediately became anxious when he saw Jeva and the others not taking him.
“Aoji, be good. You’re the youngest among us. Don’t go to your death. Stay here.”
Jeva reached out and patted Aoji’s head, saying.
Aoji lowered his head, his eyes red.
Su Ming sighed when he saw this scene, then pulled out four beam guns from under the bed and threw them to Jeva and the others.
“Take them!”
“Thank you, Sir.”
Jeva and the others were startled when they saw them, then thanked Su Ming.
“Be careful, come back alive.”
Su Ming said with a sigh.
“Yes!”
The four of Jeva took the beam guns and left the house.
Su Ming looked at the retreating figures of Jeva and the others, a complex expression on his face. Although he really wanted to help them,
Su Ming knew very well that even if he participated, it wouldn’t change anything; he would only die in vain.
Just then, Su Ming suddenly felt some movement in his pocket. He subconsciously reached in and pulled out Celes.
Celes glowed with a faint light, slowly floating up.
Aoji’s eyes widened when he saw this, and he was completely stunned.
Su Ming said happily,
“Celes, you’re awake?”
“Su Ming, I’m not dead?”
Celes said, somewhat bewildered.
“Not dead.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“Where is this?”
Celes rotated her body, looking around, and asked in confusion.
“Katney Underground City, an area behind the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom’s border.”
Su Ming said to Celes with a smile.
“Oh my god, I’d rather just die.”
Celes, hearing she was in Apocalypse, immediately looked utterly despondent.
At this moment, Aoji spoke with great excitement,
“You, you can actually speak! Are you a god?”
“Ah? How did you know I’m a god? You actually found out! This young lady is an omnipotent and omniscient god.”
Celes replied very happily when Aoji called her a god.
“Great God.”
Aoji immediately knelt down, kowtowing excitedly.
Celes, seeing this scene, also looked at Su Ming in surprise.
“Su Ming, where did you pick him up? Why does he seem so silly? But he’s so fun!”
“Stop messing around!”
Su Ming heard this, and a headache formed as he raised his hand to his forehead.
—
In the underground mine area.
A dense crowd of rebels, holding various weapons, gathered together.
Vickent, controlling the Iron Disciple, walked to the front of the crowd and spoke passionately,
“Everyone, the moment of destiny has arrived! The Divine Lord will protect us, and we will crush them in one fell swoop!”
“Crush them!”
“Crush them!”
The crowd responded with fervor.
“Depart!”
Vickent roared at the crowd, then controlled the Mecha to lead the way.
A mighty crowd followed Vickent.
Soon they poured out of the mine. Although most of them held cold weapons like hammers, iron rods, and swords, only a few had guns, and there were only a few Mecha.
However, in the rebel ranks, many people were driving engineering equipment like mining carts and excavators.
Therefore, the rebel force looked very grand and imposing.
And the most crucial point was that they had also arranged for personnel to secretly drug the food of those lackey guards.
At this moment, the residents along the way, seeing the mighty rebel force, showed a glimmer of hope on their numb faces.
Many women knelt, their eyes filled with tears, praying for victory.
Not long after, Vickent led the mighty force to the prayer square.
At this moment, Vickent raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop. He controlled the Iron Disciple Mecha to kneel on one knee before the statue of the god and prayed,
“Great Divine Lord, please bless your devout followers to be invincible and achieve a quick victory.”
“Lord Divine Lord, please bless us!”
Everyone followed, praying devoutly.
After Vickent finished praying, he controlled the Mecha to stand up and led the mighty force forward.
At this moment, a clanging sound suddenly came from the rock wall passage ahead.
“Stop!”
Vickent vigilantly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
Everyone stopped.
At this moment, a Second Generation Mecha, Light Guard, emerged from the passage. The person controlling this Mecha was none other than Captain Kaali, the ruler of this area.
Immediately after, ten Iron Disciples wielding burst mechanical guns, and groups of guards holding firearms, emerged, lining up.
Both sides entered a standoff.
At this moment, Captain Kaali let out a piercing sneer.
“Oh, oh, let me see who the leader is this time?”
“Kaali!”
Vickent looked at Kaali with hatred.
“I knew it was you, kid. I should have crushed you back then. But it doesn’t matter, I’m a very generous person. I like to repay evil with good, so first, let me give you a gift!”
Kaali raised his hand and waved.
Several soldiers dragged two dying men from behind and threw them onto the ground!
“Adur!”
Vickent roared in anger when he saw the men thrown out.
These two were their infiltrators in the guard team, the ones who had drugged the food.
At this moment, the crowd following Vickent was also dumbfounded, discussing in astonishment,
“What’s going on? How could our people be exposed?”
Just as everyone was at a loss, Hafu suddenly controlled the Iron Disciple and ran over.
“Hafu, you actually betrayed us!”
Vickent roared furiously when he saw this scene.
“Brother, you are too naive. You simply don’t know how strong the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom is. You will never win. I don’t want to die in vain, and I certainly don’t want to continue living this hard life.”
Hafu said to Vickent.
“Bastard, I don’t have a brother like you, you traitor! I will definitely kill you!”
Vickent cursed through gritted teeth.
Hafu instinctively recoiled in fear, while Kaali let out a piercing laugh.
“On the verge of death and still shouting. If you put down your weapons now and surrender obediently, I can still give you a way out.”
“Dream on! Do you really think you’ve won? Brothers, let’s fight them to the death!”
Vickent said to the crowd.
“Fight to the death!”
“Fight to the death!”
The dense crowd of commoners roared.
“Fight to the death!”
Vickent, seeing the high morale of the crowd, also took the lead and charged towards Kaali and the others.
“Kill!”
Everyone also raised their various weapons and charged forward fearlessly.
Kaali, seeing that these people wouldn’t surrender and even dared to attack, laughed in anger!
“Seeking death! Kill these lowly people!”
Bang, bang!
Instantly, many soldiers on the scene raised their firearms and opened fire.
Ah!
Groups of commoners were shot and fell to the ground.
“Hide behind the engineering vehicles!”
Some of the rebel squad leaders shouted loudly.
Many commoners, hearing this, quickly hid behind excavators and other engineering vehicles. Although their weapons were trash, they had a lot of people, and they also had these engineering machines as cover.
Clang, clang, clang!
Dense bullets rained down on the engineering vehicles. One driver was shot dead, and a replacement immediately climbed up.
With the cover of the engineering vehicles, casualties plummeted for a while.
“Damn it, a bunch of trash daring to resist!”
Kaali, seeing this scene, was also angered to laughter, controlling the Light Guard to charge forward with many other Mecha.
At this moment, Vickent controlled the Iron Disciple to charge towards Kaali and the others, attempting to stop them.
Bang!
The Light Guard Mecha and the Iron Disciple collided violently.
In an instant, the Iron Disciple slid back, his feet scraping the ground and producing intense sparks.
“You think you can beat me with this piece of junk mecha? You’re really stupid to the extreme.”
Kaali controlled the Light Guard and kicked the Iron Disciple in the abdomen, sending the entire Iron Disciple flying and crashing heavily to the ground.
Vickent was completely shaken, and when he came to his senses,
he saw Kaali controlling the Light Guard, activating the mechanical jet wings, leaping over, and raising the metal spear in his hand to pierce down.
Vickent immediately controlled the mecha and rolled to dodge!
Bang!
Kaali thrust his spear into the ground, sending shattered rocks flying.
At this moment, Vickent scrambled to his feet and immediately controlled his mecha to retreat and create distance.
Kaali didn’t use the Light Guard’s shoulder-mounted beam cannon to finish off Vickent; instead, like playing with a monkey, he controlled his mecha to approach step by step, while mocking him.
“Aren’t you very brave? Why are you retreating like a coward?”
“Shut up!”
Vickent replied through gritted teeth.
“Ah!”
At this moment, a scream rang out.
“Alu!”
Vickent turned his head and saw a dilapidated Iron Guard being destroyed, its cockpit pierced, and he roared with bloodshot eyes.
“Haha, don’t worry, I’ll send you down soon to reunite with them!”
Kaali controlled the Light Guard and charged towards Vickent, sweeping his spear across with a fierce strike.
Vickent controlled the Iron Disciple mecha, raising the metal blade in his hand to constantly block!
Bang!
Amidst the flying sparks, the entire Iron Disciple continuously retreated, its arm joints creaking.
The performance of First Generation and Second Generation Mecha was already vastly different, and Vickent’s Iron Disciple was an antique, making it impossible to withstand the assault.
Therefore, after only a few blocks, the entire Iron Disciple instantly fell backward and crashed to the ground.
“Game over, die, trash!”
Kaali raised the metal spear in his hand and thrust it towards the cockpit where Vickent was located.
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly shot from a distance.
Kaali instinctively felt danger and raised his arm to block!
Boom!
Amidst the explosion, the entire Light Guard vibrated violently and continuously retreated.
Vickent, stunned, controlled the Iron Disciple to get up and turned his head to look.
He saw a damaged Light Guard charging over at extreme speed. Through the broken opening in the Light Guard’s chest, Su Ming, who was piloting the mecha, could still be seen.
“Brother Su!”
Vickent was also surprised.
At this moment, Kaali also came to his senses. Seeing Su Ming charging over, he immediately lowered his shoulder beam cannon and fired a shot at Su Ming.
“Go to hell!”
However, Su Ming anticipated it, tilting his mecha, and the beam grazed past the mecha’s body.
“Alton, hurry and come help!”
Kaali’s pupils instantly dilated, and a panicked expression appeared on his face as he shouted anxiously.
“Captain, we’re here!”
Seeing this, Alton and the others rushed over, controlling their Iron Disciples, and fiercely shot at Su Ming with their blast guns.
“Be careful!”
Vickent warned Su Ming.
Su Ming paid no attention to the Iron Disciples’ attacks. He controlled his mecha to move in an S-shape, dodging the attacks, and charged towards Kaali with overwhelming force.
Kaali saw Su Ming being so arrogant, daring to charge directly at him while taking attacks. He immediately went full power and charged at Su Ming, raising the spear in his hand to thrust forward.
“Die!”
At this moment, Su Ming controlled the Light Guard’s body to tilt, precisely dodging the attack, and his spear pierced through with a fierce strike.
Kaali’s eyes widened, and he shouted with a terrified expression!
“No!”
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Crack!
The sharp spear pierced through the cockpit, penetrating Kaali’s body.
Su Ming violently pulled out the spear, and blood splattered!
Alton and the others stopped their Iron Disciples in horror, their faces full of disbelief as they spoke.
“Am I seeing things? The captain was instantly killed.”
“Yeah! How is that possible?”
At this moment, Su Ming ignored Alton and the others’ reactions and fiercely charged forward, controlling the Light Guard.
Alton and the others desperately raised their blast guns and fired.
Bang bang!
But it had no effect at all. Su Ming quickly closed in and pierced an Iron Disciple with a single spear.
“Ah!”
Screams continuously rang out.
Vickent stared at the scene before him, stunned. He hadn’t expected Su Ming to be so strong. However, he quickly reacted and shouted to everyone with wild joy.
“Brothers, Kaali is dead, charge!”
“Charge!”
Upon hearing Vickent’s words, everyone’s morale surged, and they shouted excitedly.
In contrast, the guard soldiers, hearing that Kaali was dead, retreated in terror, some even turning to flee.
The remaining Iron Disciple mechas were pursued and killed by Su Ming, and in an instant, the battle situation reversed by 180 degrees.
More than half an hour later.
A dense mass of resistance personnel cornered the groups of guard soldiers.
At this moment, the guards threw their weapons to the ground and shouted in terror.
“We surrender!”
“We won!”
Jeva and the others immediately cheered with excitement.
Su Ming looked at this scene, also feeling a bit emotional.
Although they won, there were also many casualties, at least several hundred people died.
“Sigh, I didn’t expect a dignified Federal General Candidate and the First Light Brain to be leading an uprising here, fighting these small fry.”
Celes couldn’t help but complain.
“Normal.”
Su Ming smiled and replied.
At this moment, Vickent and the others gathered towards Su Ming.
Su Ming reached out and put Celes away, then opened the cockpit and climbed down.
“Brother Su, thank you so much for your help. If it weren’t for you, we would have been in grave danger this time.”
Vickent said with immense gratitude.
“Don’t say that, I just gave a timely hand. The victory is more due to your brave struggle.”
Su Ming said to Vickent.
“I won’t say much more, we’ve remembered this kindness. If we can survive, we will definitely repay it in the future.”
Vickent took a deep breath and said to Su Ming.
“You’re too kind.”
Su Ming said to Vickent.
At this moment, Jeva and the others came over, escorting Hafu, who was beaten bloody, and shouted to Vickent.
“Brother Vickent, how should we deal with this guy?”
Vickent looked at Hafu with a face full of rage and said through gritted teeth.
“Hafu, you traitor!”
“Brother, I was also threatened, they forced me to do this, please spare me.”
Hafu pleaded in fear.
Su Ming stood by silently watching.
“If I spare you, how can I explain it to our dead brothers!”
Vickent finished speaking, pulled out his beam gun, and pulled the trigger at Hafu’s head.
Whoosh!
Hafu’s head was instantly pierced, and he fell to the ground.
Su Ming looked at this scene and nodded slightly. The handling was very decisive and excellent.
“Sorry, Brother Su, for letting you see a joke.”
Vickent said apologetically to Su Ming.
“It’s alright, let’s save people first.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“Okay!”
Vickent nodded in response.
—
Inside the Lord’s Mansion Hall in Katni Base City.
A plump, oily-faced middle-aged man, wearing briefs, with fair skin and a beer belly, his eyes covered with a veil, stretching out his hands, shouted with a lewd smile.
“Little darling, where are you?”
At this moment, several beautiful women, wearing light gauze skirts, with curvaceous figures and enchanting looks, replied with laughter.
“Lord, we are here, come and catch us!”
“Don’t run, I’m coming to catch you.”
The man immediately pounced on one of the beauties.
“Didn’t catch her!”
The beauty giggled and dodged.
“So naughty, when I catch you all, I’ll deal with you one by one.”
The man replied with a chuckle.
At this moment, a man in a white robe, with a mustache and slightly graying temples, rushed over and shouted.
“Lord Anko Rui!”
Anko Rui immediately stopped, took off the veil covering his eyes, and said somewhat disappointedly.
“Doluk, didn’t you see I was having fun?”
“Lord, something has happened.”
“What could possibly happen?”
“Those commoners in the underground city have rebelled.”
Doluk reported with an anxious expression.
“I thought something big happened, but they just rebelled? It’s not the first time, didn’t they rebel often before?”
“No, Lord, this time the scale is very large.”
“Which time wasn’t it big before?”
Anko Rui replied indifferently.
Doluk was stunned when he heard Lord Anko Rui’s words, then he asked.
“Lord, how should this matter be handled?”
“How else can it be handled? The old rules, send people to contact the leaders, give them some benefits, and make them work for me.”
Lord Anko Rui said with a yawn.
“What if they’re not satisfied and ask for too much?”
Doluk hesitated and asked.
“Then agree to them, no matter what conditions they propose, unconditionally agree.”
Lord Anko Rui replied with a smile.
“No, Lord, agree to that too?”
Doluk was instantly dumbfounded.
“You don’t understand this, do you? If those leading commoners are not greedy and are sensible, then everyone is happy, and they replace the overthrown useless ones to serve us! If they are very ambitious, that’s even better, just agree to them, then trick them all over and eliminate them, saving trouble and time!”
Anko Rui said with a smile.
“Lord is wise, I’ll go arrange it now!”
Doluk complimented with a smile.
“Go!”
Anko Rui replied in a joyful mood.
—
Katney Underground District.
Su Ming quietly watched Jeva and the others treat the wounded. Of course, the so-called treatment was just simple bandaging of wounds; there were no medicines or anything, so whether they lived or died was up to fate.
At this moment, Su Ming saw a young man in ragged clothes, running excitedly to Vickent, saying something to him.
After hearing the young man’s words, Vickent walked towards Su Ming.
Soon, he reached Su Ming and spoke respectfully.
“Brother Su!”
“What’s wrong?”
“I just got news that other residential areas have also won. We’ll rest a bit and then head to the surface. Brother Su, do you want to come with us?”
“Vickent, listen to my advice, the surface and underground are different. You won’t have a chance if you go up. If they send out a Third Generation Mecha, it will be a one-sided slaughter, and there might even be a Fourth Generation Mecha.”
Su Ming said with a deep frown, reminding him.
“Brother Su, I know you’re looking out for us, but if we don’t resist, our children, family, and companions will forever live in the dark underground, exploited like slaves. As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, even if we pay the price of our lives, we must fight for it.”
Vickent said to Su Ming.
“Alright.”
Su Ming sighed deeply.
At this moment, Jeva ran over, panting, and said to Vickent.
“Brother Vickent, the surface has sent an envoy down, and they specifically asked to see you.”
“Those nobles will also send people to talk, it’s truly ironic to the extreme. In the past, no matter how much we begged them, they wouldn’t even listen.”
Vickent said with disgust.
“Brother, are you still going to see him?”
Jeva and the others asked hesitantly.
“Yes, let him come. I want to see what he has to say.”
Vickent snorted coldly.
Su Ming was also quite interested; he was curious about what the person sent by the other side would say.
Soon, a shifty-eyed, seemingly cunning middle-aged man in clean clothes was brought over.
“You must be Lord Vickent, I am Qiuer, the negotiator sent by Lord Anko Rui.”
“What do you want from me?”
Vickent replied coldly.
“Lord Vickent, please don’t misunderstand! I’m not here to condemn you, but to negotiate with you. You can tell me any demands you have.”
“Tell you? Can you represent Lord Anko Rui?”
“Absolutely.”
Qiuer said with a chuckle.
“We want freedom, we want human rights, we want to live. Can that Anko Rui guy agree to that?”
Vickent said to Qiuer.
“Lord, what you want is a bit abstract, why not ask for something more tangible? For example, this area will be managed by you, and you’ll also receive a substantial monthly salary, so you’ll never have to worry about hunger again, and you’ll be able to freely enter and exit the underground city.”
Qiuer suggested to Vickent.
Su Ming listened to Qiuer’s words, a strange expression appearing on his face. This guy was clearly trying to buy off Vickent.
If Vickent agreed, he could instantly achieve a class leap and live a good life.
However, this would also mean selling out everyone behind him.
Vickent, after hearing Qiuer’s words, said furiously.
“Do you think I’m that kind of selfish person? I’m telling you, what I want is not these things. What I want is the right for everyone to live, the right not to be oppressed anymore.”
“Okay, no problem!”
Qiuer quickly agreed readily.
“No problem?”
Vickent and the others were also stunned.
“Yes, Lord City Master said that everything is negotiable! You don’t want to pay taxes, no problem. You don’t want to work day and night, also no problem. You want food, water, medicine, all easy to discuss.”
Qiuer spoke like a philanthropist.
“Are you telling the truth!”
Vickent and the others were momentarily bewildered, asking cautiously.
“Absolutely true, you can bring your people up and talk face-to-face with the City Master yourself.”
Qiuer said to Vickent.
“Okay, I will definitely bring people up.”
Vickent nodded and said.
“Then I’ll go back and report to the City Master first.”
Qiuer turned and left with a chuckle.
Su Ming watched Qiuer’s departing back and said to Vickent.
“Vickent, that guy is deceiving you. They can’t possibly truly agree to those conditions. Don’t go, this is probably a trap.”
“I know, but even so, we have to go up and fight for it!”
Vickent raised his hand and heavily patted Su Ming’s shoulder, saying with determined eyes.
Then Vickent walked past Su Ming and came before the crowd.
The eyes of all the people present were focused on Vickent, looking at the leader they had chosen.
Vickent said solemnly to everyone.
“Everyone, I, Vickent, will not betray my faith, nor will I enjoy this glory alone. Are you willing to follow me, to go up together and face the City Master, to strive for a bright future!”
“Willing!”
“Willing!”
Countless people responded with immense excitement.
Su Ming looked at this scene, deeply moved. Perhaps true men always pursue a grand finale.
