"Old Foreman summoned all the Miners Mutual Aid Society members that could be summoned, as well as the surrounding miners, and delivered a speech, denounced the oppression and tyranny of Mining Consortium,"
Fourth Brother Ivo answered the call from the side.
"Everyone present was cheering excitedly, and the applause lasted for more than half an hour. Old Foreman spoke out what everyone felt.
"After the speech, we decided to go to war with Mining Consortium completely. Due to the difference in strength, we prepared to carry out Decapitation Strike. Most of Mecha from Mining Consortium and City Defense Army were destroyed that night. Now is the time when Mining Consortium is weak.
"And Eber, the leader of Mercenary Group, is currently hunting miners throughout the city.
"Our two teams are driving two Mechas respectively. They can attack Mayor's Residence and Mining Consortium Building by surprise. It is very likely to be successful."
After hearing Ivo's narration, He Ao rubbed his eyebrows. He had some doubts that this simple and crude combat method was decided by Ivo, but others helped him add logic.
He looked at Watson on the side, "So how did Old Foreman get attacked?"
"At night when we were all preparing for battle, Old Foreman started the second speech,"
Watson said slowly, "But during this speech, Old Foreman was attacked by an assassin hiding in the miner. He fired several shots and penetrated the heart. At that time, he fell to the ground unconscious and couldn't even speak.
"We caught the assassin who claimed to be the mayor."
"So who asked you to come to me?"
He Ao asked immediately.
"It's Old Foreman, Old Foreman asked us to come here to find you."
Ivo on the side said quickly.
He Ao: "Old Foreman is unconscious and speechless. How could he tell you to come to me?"
"This... this..."
Ivo was choked for a moment and couldn't give a reason.
"When Old Foreman fell, I was by my side," Watson continued. "He stared at Ivo, and I realized that he might be looking for you. Then I asked him back. He nodded with difficulty and then completely lost consciousness."
Ivo: "Yes, yes, that's it."
······
He Ao didn't ask why only two people came. Even if Old Foreman finally pointed to He Ao, as long as he didn't say it with a clear will, it would be difficult for others to comply.
In the final analysis, He Ao is just a newcomer who has only been here for a day or two, and has not even officially joined Miners Mutual Aid Society. It is difficult for them to trust He Ao.
He Ao looked at Watson and asked, "Have the others continued the assassination plan?"
"Yes,"
Watson nodded, "Originally, Ivo and I were assigned the task of going to Mining Consortium Building, but after hearing Old Foreman's last hint, we rushed over. Ivo drove away the Mecha he was driving, and the rest of them concentrated their remaining strength to assassinate the mayor."
"All the miners are very angry, and everyone wants to take revenge for Old Foreman."
Ivo added on the side.
Old Foreman's subsequent speech and the assassination he suffered clearly polarized the mood of the miners.
On top of the already sharp contradictions, another fire was lit.
Now Miners Mutual Aid Society should be thinking about killing the mayor to avenge Old Foreman at all costs.
What's even more amazing is that Old Foreman had arranged an assassination plan before.
It's all so logical.
All this development makes sense, but it makes too much sense.
Old Foreman's own character is not that extreme, but it can be explained that the bloody events encountered by the miners stimulated him and made him extremely want to resist.
And resistance is also one of the options now.
But He Ao always felt that something was wrong with this matter.
He Ao still feels that Old Foreman should not take such a radical action.
Old Foreman must have guessed something, but he couldn't say clearly. The person behind the scenes may have used some ability to monitor his actions.
If so, Old Foreman should have given him a hint that night. What was the hint?
He Ao looked at Watson and Ivo in front of him.
At this moment, a pair of hands held his face and began to tug at the corners of his mouth, "Nell Don't look so sad. Smile. What if you can figure it out after you smile?"
He Ao:······
He raised his hand and lifted the guy up, throwing it to hang on a dry landscape tree.
"Nell! I am your brother!!! My brother!!!"
He Ao ignored him and continued to think.
Watson glanced at He Ao, and then at Ivo hanging on the tree.
He actually understands Ivo's feelings for Old Foreman. Old Foreman saved Ivo's life, and later sent him to further his studies. In Ivo's heart, Old Foreman may be like an old father.
After Old Foreman was shot, Ivo who was farthest away was the first to rush up.
Along the way to the abandoned industrial park, Ivo's eyes were all red.
He was trying his best to suppress his sadness and try his best to appear happy and indifferent in front of his brother.
Just when Watson was about to put Ivo down, he looked at He Ao who was thinking and walked to the tree where Ivo was hanging, and kicked the tree.
The branches shook violently.
The branch hanging Ivo was broken during the shaking, and Ivo fell from the sky.
"Ah, you are really going to murder your own brother," Ivo staggered and stood up holding his waist, "I fell to death, you have to collect my body."
Then he found that the air around him became quiet, and He Ao was staring at him.
At this moment, He Ao felt as if a dam blocking his thinking had burst in his mind, and countless thoughts spewed out like a surging river.
If so, it all makes sense.
He Ao suddenly turned his head and looked at Watson, "Quickly, contact those who went to assassinate the mayor and ask them to come back. No matter what method you use, persuade them to come back."
At first He Ao didn't pay attention to the people who assassinated the mayor, because with the scheming shown by the mayor, it would not be easy for these people to succeed, and it would take most of the night to do their job.
These people do not believe He Ao. Even if He Ao shows Small Mining Pickaxe, they may not trust He Ao. It is meaningless to persuade now.
Only when they realize how difficult the mayor is and have hit a wall will they listen to the advice.
But at this moment He Ao realized another possibility.
If that is possible, it actually makes no sense for He Ao to pull them over now. According to the other party's methods, all aspects should have been taken into consideration.
When Old Foreman fell, the ending of the story was already determined.
But He Ao needs a reason to contact them.
At He Ao's reminder, Watson immediately lifted Bracelet.
But before he could make a call, a message popped up.
He clicked on the message and looked at He Ao with a shocked face, "The mayor is dead..."
Then he quickly explained, "Mayor's Residence had no defense. They walked in without any hindrance, and then found the mayor collapsed in Blood Pool. They did nothing..."
"I know," He Ao's expression showed no surprise. He dialed a phone number prepared on Bracelet and said to Watson,
"Let them leave immediately and go to West Gate. No one will stop them at the beginning. Use full speed without any hesitation."
"Okay, okay."
Watson nodded quickly.
At this time, He Ao's call was also connected.
"Hello?"
A magnetic middle-aged man's voice came from the other side of the phone. He seemed to have just been awakened from his sleep.
He Ao said straight to the point without being polite, "Wright Eldest Brother, several of my Mutual Aid Society partners have been tricked by the mayor. Can they leave West Gate immediately?"
"According to the regulations, I cannot directly decide who passes West Gate."
Wright said slowly, then he paused for a moment and smiled, "But so far I have not received a notice to close West Gate."
If there is no closure, then there will be normal traffic around the clock.
He Ao breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Thank you."
Then hung up the phone.
He didn't say good night because he knew Wright wouldn't be able to sleep soon.
He Ao was silent for a moment and dialed another number.
The phone was quickly connected after a brief ring.
The other party was silent for a moment, and then asked tentatively,
"K?"
His voice was steady.
It was almost dawn now, and he didn't sleep. He seemed to be working overtime.
He Ao paused, "I would like to trouble you to help me investigate a pattern. It should be the content of occult science. With your current authority, it shouldn't be difficult."
"Of course," he said with a smile, "Just send me the pattern."
"Thank you, go to bed early."
He Ao hung up the phone, simply drew a rough pattern, selected the other party's communication name, [Christos], and sent it.
At this point, he looked at the two confused people beside him and said, "Let's discuss the next plan."
The person behind the scenes has created all this chaos. No matter what the purpose is, for He Ao, he can take advantage of this chaos.
In the past, it was impossible for miners to fight against the violent organization Mining Consortium, but with the advent of chaos, everyone was involuntarily involved in Troubled Waters, and even a small amount of power can trigger a change in the general trend.
While chatting, Watson received a message and looked at He Ao, "They have escaped from West Gate."
He looked at He Ao with eyes full of awe.
He Ao only made one order and made a phone call, and saved those Miners Mutual Aid Society people from life and death.
Just now, they almost faced the entire city's dragnet, but they actually escaped from the city at the critical moment.
If He Ao's command was delayed by ten seconds, they would all be buried in the city forever.
This kind of control over the situation is like the gods in the story.
After this incident, those who originally did not trust He Ao will be convinced by He Ao. This is convinced by her absolute strength and wisdom, and some may even become fans of He Ao.
In less than a few hours, He Ao took control of Miners Mutual Aid Society.
Watson already understands why Old Foreman did not explain the identity of He Ao's successor in advance.
Because Old Foreman believes in He Ao.
He Ao's prestige does not come from anyone's inheritance, but from himself.
At about four o'clock in the morning, He Ao received a reply from Christos. He read the reply and sorted out some of the things he didn't understand.
At five o'clock in the morning, the darkest time before Dawn, He Ao confirmed all the plans, and news about Miners Mutual Aid Society's assassination of the mayor had appeared on the Internet.
This incident will arouse Mining Consortium's fear of Miners Mutual Aid Society and the miners to the extreme, and there will definitely be a stress reaction during the day tomorrow.
Miners Mutual Aid Society and the miners were also immersed in the anger against Mining Consortium and the grief and indignation of Old Foreman's assassination.
The conflict between the two parties is like two powder barrels filled with explosives that may explode at any time.
And if one explodes, the other will explode immediately.
He looked up at Ivo and Watson,
"According to the plan, you bring Mecha out to meet West Gate and those Wilderness Wanderers, and then you bring my plan to Wilderness Wanderers and the other Miners Mutual Aid Society people.
"Mining Consortium has probably started to transfer all the power back to the city to protect the safety of the executives. The power in the wilderness will be empty tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Ivo nodded heavily.
"Then let's split up and I'll carry out my plan."
He Ao patted his windbreaker and walked towards the depths of the night.
The abandoned industrial park was dark, with only a few old street lamps shining dimly.
"We don't know what his plan is."
Watson stopped where he was and stared at the back of He Ao.
Ivo was silent and did not speak.
He Ao walked under the last streetlight. When the night was about to swallow his figure, he turned around and looked at Ivo.
Show a smile.
Like the spring breeze turning into rain, the ice and snow melting.
"Brother, please be safe."
After that, he turned around and walked into the night without any regrets.
"He went into the darkness."
Watson stared at the lonely back and said slowly.
Ivo covered his eyes and turned around, "Let's go, it's time for us to do our thing."
