1178 Final Verdict
Cheng Junlang reappeared and many people were surprised. The most surprising thing was the earliest group of thugs. It was them who rushed into the parliamentary building in the first wave, dragged out the high-ranking MPs, and killed the naked female corpses burned together with the parliamentary building. It was also at that moment that the most irritating demon in their hearts was released, letting them know that there was another way to get everything they wanted, that is, trampling on order and rules.
For the thugs, the dungeon is the paradise now, and no one can restrict them. They can do whatever they want. The women and wealth that could only exist in their dreams are now within their reach. Why do they still have to go back to the past?
One by one, the thugs who were holding naked women or tasting delicious wine and food, gathered around the virtual display screen, staring at Cheng Junlang who was nervous on the screen, with the cold murderous intent in his eyes as the essence, and he secretly thought about how to kill Cheng Junlang and lay the final foundation for the dungeon to become a dark city.
"Dungeons are our common home. Whether in the past or in the future, although under the pressure of the military, I signed an agreement to sell the interests of the dungeon, but I absolutely have no intention of abandoning the dungeon. I have been waiting for the opportunity to return the dungeon to its previous prosperous era. Unfortunately, I will never wait, but this is not a reason for me to shirk it. I have the responsibility to lose my dungeon to this point today...
The dungeon should not be the city I am familiar with, no longer a quiet, peaceful and free city, full of violence, crime, and terror. People's dignity is not respected, lives are not protected, and wealth is not guaranteed. I think... this is not what you want, this is by no means the so-called freedom..."
Cheng Junlang on the screen has a rigid and dull expression, and his tone is not fierce, without any impact, but it resonates with countless people. They don’t care about Cheng Junlang’s enthusiasm, but through Cheng Junlang’s words, thinking of the peaceful life in the past, even if prices soar and the quality of life decreases, they will not live like the current ones.
People who long for safety recognize Cheng Junlang's words in their hearts, and their hatred for Cheng Junlang is not as deep as before. People who long for destruction curse Cheng Junlang in their hearts. Some people even pay attention to the column where Cheng Junlang appears, pick up weapons and go out, and kill the last remnant of the city council in public.
Whether people agree or object, Cheng Junlang continued to speak on the show without interruption. If someone was careful enough, he would find that Cheng Junlang's eyes were erratic and always looking in a certain direction. Of course, people would not know who Cheng Junlang was looking at. At this moment, Cheng Junlang's speech ignited the hope in the hearts of many people. They hope that Cheng Junlang would not just talk, but use practical actions to solve the dungeon problem.
"As the legal mayor of the dungeon, I have the right to request that the dungeon be restored to order, not for the city council, not for me, but for yourself, for the dungeon to get out of the predicament, so that everyone can walk on the streets freely and safely..."
Cheng Junlang's speech continued. The citizens who hoped to restore order sat quietly at home and watched intently, while the thugs who expected the order to collapse forever took to the streets unscrupulously, crossed the boundary line of the territorial divided by corpses, and headed towards the same place, just like when they walked out of their homes and headed towards the city council that day.
The media company that played Cheng Junlang's speech was facing a great enemy, and every employee was frightened. They knew what would happen after the show was broadcast. Even if each of them had an energy crystal in their hands, they could not soothe their terrifying hearts.
On the opposite building of the Media Company Building, among several fully armed soldiers, Gu Cun, who was not wearing helmets, looked out of the crowd. He looked down at the entire dungeon on the edge of the roof, his eyes were hollow, but his heart was filled with shocking waves. All suspicion and confusion disappeared completely, and he had already reached this point, just one line away from the final goal. He no longer doubted any arrangements of Gao Feng. As long as Gao Feng could fulfill his previous promise, Gu Cun would do his best 100%.
"Be prepared, they are here, there are even machine guns?" Groups of thugs appeared on the streets, gathering towards the media building like ants. One of the huge machine guns was slowly moving closer to this side with the efforts of more than a dozen people.
When Gu Cun saw the machine gun, he did not make a fuss. Although they did not have strong heavy firepower in their hands and did not take the machine gun seriously, with Gu Cun's order, several soldiers were ready to shoot and aimed at the direction of the machine gun. The two-meter-long large-caliber sniper rifle changed its deep and cold luster under the colorful neon lights of the media building opposite, like a lurking giant beast.
"As the mayor of the dungeon, I am ashamed of my unshirkable responsibility, ashamed of the 100,000 residents of the dungeon, but I will not escape again. I will stand up and fulfill the mayor's responsibilities. At least until the new municipal council election is elected, I will not evade my own responsibilities..."
There was tension outside, and groups of armed thugs came out from all corners of the city, forming a black tide and rushed towards the media building. Cheng Junlang looked at the live broadcast camera, his whole body was like countless ants crawling. In the live broadcast room, more than a dozen media staff were busy, so they didn't care why Cheng Junlang was nervous. No matter how stupid the person in his mind knew, Cheng Junlang's speech would become a turning point in the dungeon, and they would be the key figures who witnessed this historical moment. As for what impact it would have, no one thought about it.
Ten fully armed bodyguards stood in the live room, but no one opposed them standing here, in the dangerous and chaotic dungeon, who was more cute than the armed men who guarded their safety? If these people were not Cheng Junlang's personal bodyguards, the boss of the media company really wanted to hire them all for a big price.
Gao Feng, who was surrounded by nine soldiers, wouldn't expect anyone would be willing to give him a job with a rich salary? Looking at Cheng Junlang who looked nervous from time to time, Gao Feng had a headache. His previous repeated beatings were a bit too much, making Cheng Junlang become unconfident. Now he was an important speech to the entire dungeon and 100,000 residents. What do he always see when he is doing?
"The chaos in the dungeon must end. When I was still exercising the mayor's rights, I ordered all public institutions to resume operation, the Ministry of Food Supply distributes food and drinking water for free without any conditions, and the Ministry of Health began to accept injured and sick citizens. In principle, there is no need for individuals to bear medical expenses. All of them will be paid, and I will be counted as my apology to the citizens. In addition, I started negotiations with the inferior people in the recycling center. I don't want to see the dungeon becoming dirty and messy, so that the dirty garbage will affect the health of citizens..."
If Cheng Junlang's previous speech was just a recollection of the old order in the hearts of citizens, what he said now would be the desire and resonance in the hearts of countless people. After experiencing chaos and hunger in the morning, most people no longer pursue illusory freedom or other things. They just hope to stay at home safely and no longer be hungry.
No matter how much the citizens opposed the city council before, they now hope that the order of the dungeon will be restored more than ever, and can give them a safe and peaceful environment. They no longer hate Cheng Junlang so much. However, Gao Feng asked Cheng Junlang to come out not to make him win back the hearts of the people. After receiving the latest news from Gu Cun, Gao Feng raised his right hand and made an OK gesture to Cheng Junlang.
The reason why Cheng Junlang frequently looked at Gao Feng was to wait for this gesture, and stopped his promise as soon as possible. The volume suddenly increased and he said heavyly:
"Of course, what the dungeon needs to restore most is order, which allows our lives, property and dignity to be protected. Therefore, we must declare war on the thugs who are rampant in the dungeon. Now, let us see what the thugs will end..."
As soon as Cheng Junlang finished speaking, the boss of the media company shouted excitedly and excitedly: "One group is ready to take place, start broadcasting immediately, two group and three group to supplement the shooting angle. We must let the entire dungeon know who is the No.1 in the media industry..."
The media company had long received news that the building was covered with various camera lenses, and even the sky was not spared. The citizens sitting in front of the virtual display screen were surprised to see that nearly a thousand thugs surrounded the media building tightly.
The thugs have different persistence in weapons. Almost all the weapons and equipment abandoned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were looted by the thugs. Cheng Junlang reappeared and was regarded by the thugs as the clarion call for the dungeon to restore order. He had already enjoyed lawlessness and plundered everything at will. The thugs who did not allow the dungeon to escape from their control and gathered here at the same time, preparing to kill the hopes of the dungeon public in the cradle.
Unfortunately, they didn't know who their opponent was. Gao Feng was not the group of soft-legged shrimps who couldn't even hold a gun in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. From the moment he arranged for Cheng Junlang to give a speech to the public, they had already deduced the psychological changes of the dungeons, or everything was under Gao Feng's control.
This time, Gu Cun brought the soldiers of the Third Regiment out in full swing and divided into more than 20 groups, distributed in different buildings, each building at most seven or eight people, and at least four or five people. More than 20 buildings happened to be stuck at the entrances and exits of the streets around the media building. As long as the street entrance is blocked above, the thugs below have nowhere to hide.
When citizens saw the thugs besieging the media building, many people began to despair. They never thought that there were so many thugs in the dungeons. They never thought that before the siege of the city council, most people were unarmed. Now, almost every thug held weapons, made knives and guns, but there were even terrifying machine guns. The scenes of the machine guns that day were still remembered when they attacked the parliament building. When they saw this weapon appear again, people no longer had the excitement and excitement of the past, and there was only boundless fear. Is there any way to stop the thugs with such weapons?
"After a rough stance, in 72 hours, more than 500 private rooms in the dungeon were invaded by thugs, at least 300 people died from the disgust of the thugs, and the death toll on the streets was several times higher. This shows the cruelty and madness of the thugs. The dungeon has lost order and the law enforcement agencies have also been impacted and cannot enforce legal procedures on the thugs in accordance with the laws and regulations. At this point, I decided to launch the ultimate ruling system for the dungeons. Within twelve hours, the final death penalty will be executed on anyone or creature who takes to the streets..."
The moment when Cheng Junlang spoke out the ultimate ruling system, many older dungeon residents suddenly felt a terror. Fifty years ago, the great riots caused the spread of the black magic plague, which brought difficult disasters to the underground. From the moment of its establishment, the dungeon had established a convention that once a similar crisis occurred in the dungeon, an indiscriminate killing plan would be launched and all those who were unwilling to return to the room would be killed on the streets. However, after this convention was formulated, there were no enforceable conditions and it had been forgotten. Now Cheng Junlang said these murderous words, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
People were suspicious of Cheng Junliang's resolution, but Gu Cun issued a fierce attack order and launched a harvest battle at their final target according to Gao Feng's arrangements. The first ones to fire were the snipers who had already aimed at it for a long time.
