Incite Rebellion

Upon hearing the words spoken by the man in white robes, the Big Tattoo Arm his arm immediately became alert.

At first, he thought it was a local gang that felt they had overstepped their bounds, but the words "human" and "master" used by the white-robed man made it clear that the other party was not just a simple thug.

The man with the Big Tattoo Arm silently placed the watermelon knife in front of him and asked warily, "Who are you?"

Who is it?

The man in the white robe chuckled dismissively, then said in a proud tone, "I am Mona Warrior."

"Mona Warrior?"

Clearly, even Speaker Xiao Zhengyan had never heard of the Mona Warrior, let alone the ordinary people in the shelter present.

The White Robe Mona Warrior didn't care at all. "You'll find out soon enough."

Before he finished speaking, he took a step down.

Plant shoots suddenly burst forth from the ground and then grew rapidly.

In just two or three breaths, everyone present was surrounded by terrifying plant vines.

"Holy crap! A Deathmatcher!"

The Big Tattoo Arm only managed to shout out those few words.

The next second, everyone present, including Zheng Yongliang who had originally planned to sneak away, was wrapped up by the extended vines and dragged up, leaving only gaps for their eyes and noses to prevent them from suffocating.

Thick vines hung them up, swaying slowly. At first glance, one might mistake them for human-shaped fruits that had grown from the vines.

Zheng Yongliang's eyes darted left and right, revealing a deep sense of terror in everyone's exposed eyes.

Only the most loyal and strongest warriors under the Lord's command are qualified to become Mona Warrior.

The White Robe Mona Warrior leisurely approached the group of "humanoid fruits" and added, "So you don't need to be afraid. For someone of my status, it would be beneath me to come here specifically to kill you all."

Swish~

The vines covering his Big Tattoo Arm and face contracted, freeing his mouth.

His Big Tattoo Arm were covered in sweat, and he was breathing rapidly, as if doing so could alleviate his inner panic.

As the leader of a small gang, he was well-versed in the art of survival.

The Big Tattoo Arm quickly realized that these so-called Mona Warrior didn't intend to kill them, and therefore immediately showed his obedience.

Before he could even catch his breath, he eagerly asked, "Then... you, Lord Mona Warrior, what do you need us for?"

"Not bad, you're very good at it."

The White Robe Mona Warrior snapped his fingers and began to explain his purpose in detail.

Of course, since it was given in the tone of an order, he didn't actually say much.

After listening to the White Robe Mona Warrior's words, the Big Tattoo Arm man immediately said confidently, "No problem. We're already dissatisfied with this damn city guild. Rest assured, sir, I guarantee we'll fight wherever you point."

If his movements weren't currently restricted, he probably would have already been pounding his chest in celebration.

The White Robe Mona Warrior chuckled, clearly not entirely convinced, but he didn't seem to care.

He then turned to the other members of the public who had been lured there by the Shorty: "And what about you?"

Before they could see him do anything, the group, including Zheng Yongliang, suddenly realized that the vine covering their mouths had abruptly disappeared.

In fact, the requirements for the White Robe Mona Warrior were not demanding.

He didn't order them to take up arms and fight the armed forces in the refuge right now; instead, he had them stand on the side of the Mona people and then return to the Forward Base "recruit newcomers."

Zheng Yongliang silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It was obvious that the White Robe Mona Warrior intended to recruit a group of collaborators.

Zheng Yongliang considered himself still human and naturally stood on the side of humanity. The idea of him abandoning his human identity to help the Mona people fight against humans was simply impossible for him.

Unfortunately, given the current situation, he had no choice but to comply.

Presumably, the White Robe Mona Warrior in front of them is just too lazy to kill them, but wouldn't mind giving them a good thrashing.

Seeing that no one spoke, the Big Tattoo Arm realized that this was a rare opportunity to show his loyalty.

He immediately scolded, "The fact that the adults are willing to give you a chance is a great thing, don't you dare be so ungrateful!"

"Eh~"

The White Robe Mona Warrior raised his hand in a mock-serious gesture, indicating that the Big Tattoo Arm didn't need to do that.

He then asked with a smile, "Is it difficult to make a decision?"

"No... no, I'm just worried that I'm useless and will ruin the adults' plans," Zheng Yongliang stammered, hoping to get away with it.

"Playing the ostrich won't work."

The White Robe Mona Warrior leisurely offered some words of comfort, "Why do you think you've returned to the surface? You don't really believe those high-sounding reasons given by the Vault's higher-ups, do you?"

Many people are able to stay in the shelter, and most of these qualified individuals are family members of those in the upper echelons of the shelter—I bet you didn't know that, did you?

Let me tell you the real reason: because the Heavy Element Reactor in your shelter was destroyed, the remaining resources could no longer support so many of you, so the city council packed you all up and sent you back to the surface.

In the eyes of those gentry in the city, you are nothing more than wasteful cattle and horses, mere consumables, whose only responsibility is to work hard and provide them with a superior life.

When they no longer need you, the men can kick you aside without any hesitation.

The White Robe Mona Warrior paused, then continued persuasively, "In fact, this is an opportunity given to you by the Lord, allowing you to step on the heads of those lords who look down on you."

His tone was calm and non-aggressive, like a devil tempting believers to fall.

"Isn't this better? It's better for both sides to lose than for one to lose. Clinging to your human identity will not only bring you no benefit, but will also make it easier for the masters to exploit you."

Your hostility towards the Lord is merely due to the influence of the city council's propaganda. Think carefully, what does your suffering really have to do with the Lord?

One member of the public was truly stirred up by the words of the White Robe Mona Warrior. His eyes, filled with such fury that they seemed to be spitting fire, made it clear that if given a gun, he would immediately shoot at the senator without the slightest hesitation.

"My lord, I'll do as you say!"

"I... I'll listen to you too."

Several members of the public expressed their opinions, leaving only Zheng Yongliang remaining silent.

Faced with the gaze of the White Robe Mona Warrior, Zheng Yongliang had no choice but to show his obedience, after all, he did not want to die.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, the White Robe Mona Warrior clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Good, it seems everyone is wise. Now you can all return to the Forward Base. Let's join forces and let those city lords feel our wrath."
