Alien Relic Hunter
Chapter 653 Liquidation (Part 1)
Ke Lan didn't know why the undead crew would be so conniving with these borers, but since he was in this position, he would never allow this to happen.
Maybe someone will tell him what it means when water is clear, there will be no fish, what it means to check and balance power, what it means to behave in the world, etc... But in Ke Lan's eyes, these so-called humanities are actually extremely decadent bureaucracy. , is the evil result of human desire.
In the old era, the relatively loose living environment gave these rotten things space to breed and grow... But now, human beings are in a state of life and death - even people are almost gone, who cares about this bullshit?" People, feelings, world, reasons”!
There is nothing wrong with desire, but when desire expands to a certain level, it ceases to be desire and becomes "sin."
Looking at the congressman who was holding a mobile phone and dialing numbers hurriedly, Ke Lan couldn't help but feel disgust from deep in his heart - some people are stupid and bad, and some people are stupid and bad.
These guys obviously belong to the latter.
Holding a gun in one hand and confronting more than a dozen bodyguards, Ke Lan moved the laptop to his lap with the other hand and began to operate it with one hand. With the blessing of the seat authority of the Immortal Crew Association, it would have taken at least dozens of hours to operate the computer. The encryption programs that were broken through were now given the green light, and more things hidden in unknown corners were exposed to Ke Lan's eyes one by one.
Ke Lan discovered that in the past twenty-four hours, Hyuga Yuji's office had received a total of more than 1,780 emails from the public, and 99.9% of these emails were still in the In the "unread" status...
Ke Lan casually clicked on a dozen emails. These emails included requests for help and complaints... but the contents were basically the same: the frontline rescue work was progressing slowly, the lives of the affected people were not guaranteed, and some private organizations took the opportunity to sell goods at high prices. Living supplies...
A can of soy protein synthetic meat was even sold for 200 credits, a full five times the original price... Not only that, in some complaint letters, people also mentioned that the food they bought at high prices was expired, and some powders It even contains a large proportion of sand...
The emergency food newly shipped from the factory was destroyed as expired goods, and the truly expired and inferior materials were sold to the disaster-stricken people at several times the price... What kind of magical realism plot is this?
Ke Lan finally understood why Hyuga Yuji intercepted or even destroyed relief supplies shipped from other districts...
He immediately followed this clue and uncovered the details of those private organizations. It turned out that the supply channels behind these private organizations almost all came from a company called "Williams Logistics".
"Williams Logistics - Williams Consortium - Williams Family - Congressman Williams." Ke Lan figured out all the joints in an instant.
He raised his head from the screen and stared at Representative Williams who was on the phone with an unfriendly expression.
Judging from the changes in the other party's facial expression, it seems that he must have already known the news of his "return to a full-time job".
Ten seconds later, Congressman Williams' call finally ended. He turned his neck stiffly and looked at Ke Lan as if he had seen a ghost. Although this guy's eyes were full of shock and fear, his face was full of shock and fear. But he forced him to put on a flattering smile and said: "You...you..."
"Congressman Williams, your family has paid a lot for you to reach this position, right?" Ke Lan asked with a sneer.
"Ah...this..." Williams was speechless for a moment. Logically speaking, this kind of topic would not be discussed openly - even if everyone knew it.
Everyone in this circle will abide by these default rules tacitly... and the young guy in front of him is obviously not a rule-abiding person.
But Sean Williams couldn't do anything about him - the reason why people can break the rules is because on this ship, the Immortal Crew Club is the group of people who make the rules, and Ke Lan is the group. One of the people.
"Then you should be well aware of what Williams Logistics Company is doing, right?" Ke Lan continued, "This company is also bearing the name of your family... I thought you would care more. A little more face."
“Looking ugly” is no longer enough to describe what Congressman Williams and the family behind him have done. In the Alexander incident, at least 20 million of the 50 million residents of the Ark were killed. Nine out of ten of the remaining half of the population were affected by the disaster... As a member of the United Parliamentary Group, Williams not only failed to They took the disaster relief work seriously, but instead hindered it, deliberately obstructed the transportation of materials, and unscrupulously used it to make huge profits...
These people are greedy to the point of being insane.
"Congressman Williams, did you know that in ancient China, there was a word specifically used to describe people like you?"
"W-what?"
"There are too many words to write." Ke Lan said word by word.
"I...I just..." Representative Williams wanted to defend himself, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything.
This is not the first time he has done this kind of thing. In the past, the Undead Crew would turn a blind eye to them... But this time, the big shots above are serious about it...
Williams felt very regretful in his heart - but what he regretted was not that he had done these things, but that he had failed to keep confidentiality, failed to destroy problematic accounts and documents in time, and failed to block the access of those people. Mouth……
"The evidence is irrefutable. I don't think you can come up with any defense, right?" Ke Lan pushed the safety of the pistol with his thumb.
"Wait! Wait a minute! Please wait a minute!" Seeing Ke Lan turn on the safety of the pistol, Representative Williams shouted immediately, "I am willing to compensate! I am willing to use my family's assets to fill the supply gap! Five times... …No, ten times is fine!”
"At this point, you don't think that the Williams family... still has the right to control its own assets, right?" Ke Lan whispered softly, "Don't worry, after this matter is over, the Williams family should It ceases to exist.”
Ke Lan used to read cool articles on the Internet when he was bored, and he would often see some overbearing comments such as "It's getting colder, it's time for the X family to go bankrupt." or "I'm tired of playing, it's time for the X family to disappear." CEO joke, but now, when this kind of plot actually happened in reality, he neither felt happy nor could he laugh at all.
There was only anger in his heart.
Seemingly seeing the determination in Ke Lan's eyes, Councilor Williams took a sharp breath, and suddenly shouted to the bodyguards under his opponent: "Stop him!" Then he turned and ran towards the door!
These bodyguards had never heard of the existence of the "Undead Crew Club" and had no idea of Ke Lan's identity. After hearing their master's order, they did not hesitate and immediately rushed towards Ke Lan.
But they at least heard clearly that Williams' order was to "stop him" and not "kill him." These bodyguards did not draw their guns - in their view, the young man in front of them was not even taller than the tall man. They are no match for one-on-one, let alone with so many of them together.
As for the gun in the opponent's hand, it was just a nine-millimeter pocket pistol, and the weakest among the bodyguards was also a Level 2 enhanced person. As long as he didn't get shot in a vital part like the eye, even if the bullet hit him On their heads, it would be difficult to shoot through their skulls.
But Ke Lan didn't fire. Facing the group of big men rushing towards him, he supported the tabletop of his desk with one hand and flew forward with a swift and powerful sweep of his legs, directly knocking down the three bodyguards who were rushing forward... …With a crisp sound of bones breaking, the chests of the three bodyguards sank instantly, and they didn’t know how many ribs were broken by the kicks.
These bodyguards didn't use their guns, and Ke Lan didn't kill him either - except for one unfortunate guy whose broken ribs pierced his heart and died on the spot, the other two's lives would not be in danger as long as they were sent to the hospital in time.
However, death did not scare these bodyguards - as bodyguards around members of the joint parliamentary group, these people are quite professional. When the objects they protect are attacked, they will not hesitate to use their bodies to block them. Bullets, they care more about their employer's orders than their own safety.
The moment the three bodyguards fell, five more bodyguards came forward. Four of them grabbed Ke Lan's hands and feet, and the other one threw himself at the laptop on the table, trying to snatch it. evidence.
At this time, Congressman Williams had already rushed out of the office and ran towards the elevator desperately.
He knew in his heart that he was finished, and so was the Williams family, but as a scheming man, he had already made the worst plan - parking at a private airport belonging to the Williams consortium on the upper level of the Ark. He was flying a large transport plane with a large amount of supplies stacked in the cabin. The identity of the transport plane was also specially disguised... As long as he could successfully board the plane, he was fully confident that he could escape from the Ark with his family before the military could react.
In the wilderness, there are several secret strongholds prepared by the Williams Consortium in the early years... Although the living conditions are certainly not comparable to the status of a member of Congress "under twenty-four people and above fifty million people", at least they don't have to face it. Judgment of the Ark...at least, not dead.
But when Representative Williams was still five meters away from the elevator door, a handsome but thin boy stopped in front of him.
The other party closed his eyes slightly, stood there steadily, holding a sword with a badly worn scabbard in both hands.
"Get out of my way!" Councilor Williams roared angrily, stretched out a hand and pushed towards the boy.
He didn't see the opponent's action of drawing out the knife, and he didn't even feel any pain. He only felt a slight movement on his side, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
While falling to the ground, Councilor Williams saw a familiar arm falling three or four meters away from him. The cut at the end of the arm was as flat as a mirror, and bright red blood was continuously shooting out of the blood vessels. .
There is a valuable mechanical watch on the wrist of this arm... This watch is the favorite thing of Congressman Williams.
"Ah - ah ah -" Only then did he realize that it was his left arm that had been chopped off, and a sharp pain suddenly came from his shoulder. Representative Williams felt that his whole nerves seemed to be cut off. Hanging, he couldn't help but scream loudly.
He stretched out his hand to grab the boy's ankle, but a gray light flashed before his eyes, and Representative Williams' other hand fell to the ground.
He opened his mouth wide, wanting to cry out but found that no scream came out of his throat, only a "whoosh" sound like a broken bellows.
"Don't kill him yet, this man is still useful." On the other side, Ke Lan had already placed among the dozen bodyguards, and walked to Congressman Williams' side while flexing his muscles.
"Yes." Asano Akira nodded.
If it were Lao Gou or someone else here, he would definitely ask Ke Lan why he didn't kill this guy. Only Asano Akira would unconditionally obey any order given by Ke Lan.
He is like a knife, a silent but sharp knife.
"Come here." Ke Lan waved to the pale female secretary, who trembled all over and hesitated for a moment before walking over tremblingly.
"Find someone to clean this floor. In addition, you have to deal with all the abnormal accounts in the past within six hours, distribute all the materials that should be issued, and implement all the plans that should be implemented." Ke Lan As he said that, he lifted up Representative Williams, who had fainted from the pain, and said, "I still have some things to deal with now. When I come back, I hope everything can get back on track."
"Then... what about them?" The female secretary pointed to the other "secretaries".
"Those who are capable of working will be kept to work; those who are not capable will be dismissed directly." Ke Lan waved his hand, "In addition, there is no need to keep this floor empty. Apart from the office, other rooms can be used. Make use of all the information - and I want you to select a group of people specifically to manage the office's account for receiving emails from the public, organize all the collected questions into files, and send them to my desk. There is one thing I want Let me remind you, I am not Hyuga Yuuji, I will check the work of these people regularly, so no matter who it is for, try to find some honest and hard-working people to do this."
"I, I know." The female secretary nodded hurriedly.
Ke Lan has just established his authority. He believes that no one with a strong head will dare to copy the operations of Williams and Yuji Hyuga in a short time. But as time goes by, everything will become uncertain.
Suddenly, he somewhat understood the motivations of the people of the Undead Crew Club in choosing immortality.
Changes in management will inevitably lead to corruption, and the best solution is this near-eternal "dictatorship."
It's just that even for them, many people's ideas have changed subtly over time... Ke Lan couldn't help but think of those people called "saints" in ancient times. If their lifespans could be hundreds or even hundreds of years, After thousands of years, can they still bear the title of "saints"?
The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon, the evil dragon will always exist, and the dragon slayer will always be on his way to slay the dragon.
He sighed and pressed the elevator button.
