Apocalyptic Dark Age

There are different opinions, and various gossips are analyzed by the program hosts. The public knows that these hosts are not very reliable, but they are still worried about the future of the underground city. Although the terrorists released the hostages, they did not surrender. No one knows what the people inside want to do. Like a bomb, there is a danger of detonating around them at any time.

Fan Meiren was still reporting her work to the city council. The underground city was shaking in the wind and rain. Countless people took to the streets, holding various slogans, demanding that the government come up with solutions to the control center. When people who knew the inside story came out, once the control center stopped If it fails to function, the entire underground city's ecosystem will be destroyed. The lack of recycled culture media will also cause the underground city's food factory to lack raw materials, thus affecting the food supply.

The consequences of this news caused food suppliers to increase prices significantly, increasing the price of food that everyone needs by 30%. When people took to the streets one after another to protest against the price increase of daily necessities by unscrupulous businessmen, They also criticized the inefficiency of the government. At the same time, the crime rate in every corner of the underground city suddenly increased. Countless people with ulterior motives were causing destruction everywhere in the city, making people discover that, as if overnight, their underground city had become Sin City.

"What exactly do you want to do? Control the entire underground city with just a few of us? The underground city is not a single entity. They are protected by the military. Even if there is no city defense army, it does not mean that the army has completely abandoned the city. Once When they see signs of independence, they will not hesitate to pounce on them and stifle the danger.”

Gu Cun excitedly rushed to the summit to question. Beside him, dozens of big screens were playing programs from the underground city. The programs on dozens of channels were not too many for an underground city with a population of 100,000. Life underground was boring. In order to prevent people from being too bored and leading to crime, the underground city has made great efforts to create a variety of program channels, so that people can spend their daily lives in repetitive and monotonous programs outside of work, so any Every piece of news will trigger various comments and attention in the underground city, let alone such explosive news that has not happened in decades.

Gao Feng didn't seem to hear Gu Cun's question. He was crossing his legs, leaning on the back of the chair, with a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other, enjoying the underground news program. At the moment, he and Gu Cun were the only two people in the room, so Gu Cun could Putting aside some necessary concerns, he asked Feng Feng. Although he didn't know Feng Feng very well, after these days of contact, Feng Feng gave him the feeling that he was not a willful person. Sometimes he could listen to opinions, but he just didn't understand. , how could he come up with such a bad idea when his strength was at an absolute disadvantage?

"The brothers in the newly formed third regiment have already been betrayed once. I don't want them to be betrayed again. Don't you want to say anything?"

Gu Cun was like a nagging aunt, never having peace of mind in Gao Feng's ears. Gao Feng frowned slightly and suddenly turned his head to glare at Gu Cun, causing his next words to get stuck in his throat: "Don't say anything, the show is about to begin..." ”

Gao Feng was not directed at the disrespect in Gu Cun's words. The chaotic and complicated program screen changed at the same time. Dozens of channels were broadcasting the figure of a person at the same time. This figure was none other than Miss Fan who came out of the city council. There is no doubt that the media in the underground city has regarded Fan Meiren as the source of the truth.

"Is he the one you rely on? An underground man?"

Gu Cun had not met Fan Meiren, so he was not used to it when he suddenly saw Fan Meiren. He had always regarded Gao Feng as a barbarian in the wilderness. Although Gao Feng had superb methods, he still had a sense of superiority in his heart. Suddenly he saw Gao Feng's partner. , I couldn’t accept it for a while.

"Shh..., don't talk for now, listen to him..."

Gao Feng didn't pay attention to Gu Cun's expression. He kept his eyes on Fan Meiren. The show finally began. Whether he could break through the dungeon depends on his eyes.

"Minister Fan, are the terrorists in the control center inferior? Why haven't they been captured by the Ministry of Internal Affairs yet? Are nearly a thousand guards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs unable to do anything to them?"

"I am the host of Lightning News. May I ask Minister Fan what you think about this terrorist incident? What can you say about managing the growing crime rate in the underground city?"

"Minister Fan, our Hero Legend Channel is very interested in you negotiating with the robbers alone to solve the hostage crisis. We would like to conduct an exclusive interview with you to talk about the specific situation at that time. In addition, we also want to know why you were willing to use Take risks personally..."

Although he became a star that attracted much attention, Fan Meiren did not show any pride or confidence. His face was pale, his expression was forlorn, and his eyes were deep. When faced with various questions and requests, he just remained silent, unlike the big man who had just rescued hundreds of people. The hero is more like a loser who is about to go bankrupt. This strong contrast makes people more curious about Fan Meiren. Of course, some people think that Fan Meiren is just showing off, but they cannot deny that they are interested in the truth of the control center. At this moment , Fan Meiren is the well-deserved focus of the storm.

"Citizens of the Underground City and media friends, I know you have questions about the security incident in the control center. Here, I will explain it in detail, but before I tell the truth, I must state one thing... "

The underground city was detonated by bombs one after another. There was an inside story behind the bombing of the business road. The business partners of the underground city were invaded by the underground world. A large number of inferior people were recruited into the army to become cannon fodder for the invasion of the ground. There was also the resignation of Fan Meiren. , because Fan Meiren could not agree to the inferior people's demand for compensation for the underground city and the city council's inaction, they were willing to harm their own underground city interests and also assisted the military in dealing with their business partners.

When Fan Meiren's forlorn figure left the square of the city council, the first thing to react were the hundreds of unemployed people demonstrating in the square. They changed their slogans. They no longer asked for work and food, but asked the city council to The benefits of selling out the dungeon are explained.

News programs also diverted attention from the murdered recycling center staff and the released hostages, and focused entirely on digging up the inside story of the collapse of the commercial road. Soon, the news of the collective resignation of Section 3 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stirred up a thousand waves. Nan Feng became the focus of news after Fan Meiren. He appeared in the eyes of the general public as Fan Meiren's news spokesperson.

"As for the news that Minister Fan was under house arrest by the military, I learned about it half a month ago. At that time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was controlled by the military, and the section chiefs were all monitored by the military. We were not free until the business road collapsed. Minister Fan was also that person. It was released at that time. As we all know, after the collapse of the business road, the economy of the underground city was hit, and public security became a big problem. However, because of the need to invade the wilderness, the military drew away the city defense troops. Now the main focus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not only urban security, but also In urban defense, when manpower is extremely tight, the government has to deploy the third section to protect the city council, so the bad guys have a chance..."

One explosive news after another exploded in the underground city's media. The residents of the underground city suddenly felt that their brains were not enough. A huge conspiracy was being compiled and constructed in everyone's hearts. In the context of this conspiracy, The city council, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the military, and bad people are all involved. In the comments of some thoughtful people to the public, many people began to believe that the dividends obtained by the underground city from trade have aroused the jealousy of some people, which has never happened before. The underground military spies on Shicheng. They want to monopolize Shicheng's trade routes and gain huge profits.

Some people also used the economic indicators and per capita income standards of the underground city in recent years to prove it, which indirectly shows that the business in Stone City and the underground city has improved the lives of the people. Many unemployed and bankrupt owners were also invited to the media. Tell the public about the consequences of the continued deterioration of the economy.

Suddenly, many people were surprised to find that they were only one step away from bankruptcy and unemployment, because the deterioration caused by the collapse of the business road continued to amplify. This process was not long. After about half a year to a year, the economic deterioration of the underground city was worse than It is even more serious now, and an immigration table leaked from the city council further illustrates the data on the flight of wealthy people. From the shocking data, and the arrow of falling housing prices, it is intuitively shown that the underground city has arrived. The edge of the cliff.

The conflict was intensified. The instigation of thoughtful people, the fueling of the media, and the shameless appearance of vested interests triggered a political crisis in the underground city in advance. An invisible whirlpool involved the entire underground city. The recovery controlled by Gao Feng The center became the last remaining weight against the city council.

During this period, the City Council has been playing the role of a cunning villain. No matter how they defend themselves, the public always believes that the collapse of business roads is closely related to the City Council. Otherwise, why is the Minister of the Interior under house arrest? These people who manage the city Are the elites living well? During this hostage crisis, various truths and gossip were released one after another, involving all kinds of people.

Due to distrust of the city council, various administrative units were boycotted. With Fan Meiren's resignation, several section chiefs and senior officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs attacked and framed each other in order to compete for the minister's position, seriously disrupting the order of the underground city. , Under such circumstances, Gao Feng and others were forgotten by the public and the media. Occasionally, some people thought of the hijacking incident at the recycling center and wanted to know the follow-up progress, but they could not find the details.

The previous questioning has long been a thing of the past. A whole week has passed, and Gu Cun is still in the dark. He knows everything that Gao Feng has done before and after, but he can't connect them together to create a link between the past and the next. The context of the incident was clearly about Gao Feng occupying the recycling center and killing people and holding him hostage. Why was it suddenly forgotten by the public?

It was clear that Fan Meiren and Gao Feng were in cahoots, but why did they suddenly disrupt the administrative order of the underground city and become a bystander behind the scenes? What is even more confusing is why hundreds of hostages were held in unison, calling them evil. Kind of people?

Although he couldn't figure it out, Gu Cun had to admit that Gao Feng was far more evil than he thought. If it weren't for the fact that there were more than 200 guards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the control center closely monitoring them, he might have thought he knew about this matter. People like myself have long been forgotten.

There is no difference between this day and any other day. In the dazzling array of videos, there are protesting crowds everywhere, attacks and abuses on the city council, as well as the increasingly crumbling order, the exponential increase in the crime rate, and the bloody casualties of the exhausted Ministry of Interior guards. At the scene, looking at these things occasionally can pass the time, but looking at them every day will always make people tired. Gu Cun has long been bored, and finally couldn't help but break the silence between him and Gao Feng.

"Sir, aren't you planning to make us a city defense force? After so long, do you have some clues?"
