The Witch's Taste

Chapter 359 Smuggling
Contact with other engineers was also quite smooth.

For the people of the Federation, the potential deterrent of corporate war is higher than the "Plague of Aegelaos" - the plague will not be directed to someone, but the eradication of corporate war will. Going directly to your home to kill you may be just because the boss of your company is on the wrong side.

Some people expressed strong interest and hoped to go to the starship to inspect the working environment before making a decision.

Others said they should think about it, and Chen Ziang and others did not push too much.

Anyway, the further back they go, the more chaotic Galapasia will be, and the less time they will have to think about it.

The facts are as expected: the wild spread of out-of-control swarms has caused the security forces to not only fight against the "living corpses" crawling out, but also to deal with these crazy drones everywhere, so that manpower is quickly exhausted - —Recently, the spokesperson of the Public Security Department made it clear on a TV program that "citizens in need can take up arms to protect themselves." It is clear that they really can't control it.

The only strange thing is that living zombies tend to attack living people, while out-of-control swarms seem to prefer killing living zombies, indicating that the two do not seem to be the same force behind them.

Klublief has announced that they will send redeployment orders to the "Iron Guards" stationed on the south bank to enter the city of Galapasia as soon as possible to restore order.

The Iron Guard is the cyborg army of the Klublev Group.

More than 90% of their bodies are mechanical prostheses, so they are extremely resistant to all diseases, including the zombie plague. At the same time, in order to avoid being breached by hackers, these cyborg soldiers are not connected to the public network. , so you are not afraid of unknown viruses circulating in the intranet of out-of-control bees.

It can be said that it can perfectly cope with the crisis Galapasia is currently in.

The only drawback is that the Iron Guard is one of Krublev's public ace troops, and has served as the main force in corporate wars many times in the past.Therefore, after arriving in the city, it is really difficult to predict whether the attack will be living corpses, out-of-control swarms of bees, or the personal mercenaries of some financiers and bankers.

The financial capital community reacted fiercely to this, claiming that once Klublev's "Iron Guards" entered the urban area, they would quickly implement military control and curfew systems in the city in the name of "pacifying the disaster", thereby bypassing the district government's control of military affairs. power, and finally "completely destroy the democratic and free society we are proud of."

As we all know, the federal government is the weakest "little finger" among the eight giants of the federation. It lives fearfully among the plutocrats, for fear that it will be killed by any big boss who sneezes.

Faced with the mutual confrontation between financial capital and aristocratic capital, the city council showed a hesitant attitude. It just said that "it is not a wise move for the Steel Guard to enter the city" and then said that "Klublief's approach to maintaining order" They deserve to be respected"...it is clear that even within the parliament, they are also wrestling with each other.

Until the Steel Guard was still more than 200 kilometers away from the south of the city, the parliament, under the threat of increasingly powerful military force, finally reached an agreement and consensus:

Don't let the Iron Guards in.

When plutocrats confront each other, the parliament can just sit back and watch; but if plutocratic troops are openly stationed in urban areas, then whether or not to impose military control is a matter decided by the plutocrats at their own whim. Which member of the parliament is willing to let his power be taken away easily?
The executive order was announced, but the Steel Guards 200 kilometers away chose to ignore it.

Klublev hasn't spoken yet, and they won't obey any "city council orders" at all.

These semi-robot soldiers ignored the ban and continued to approach the city, causing great uneasiness among many people.Incited by social media, college students from major universities took the lead and began to march on the main streets of the city to protest "the arrogance and greed of the aristocrats."

This series of changes in the situation was dizzying, and Chen Ziang was also dumbfounded. He thought that the game in this kind of democratic society is indeed complicated and difficult to handle. In comparison, the human society in Starship is much simpler. Currently, there are basically only two factions, namely Say "I want to get off the boat" and "Let's have a rest".

But what is more troublesome is that as the Iron Guards continue to advance, some human engineers who have been persuaded have recently had the idea of ​​going back on their word.The reason is not complicated. Klublev himself is an industrial giant and also controls many arms manufacturing companies.Many human engineers were originally worried about being involved in corporate wars, but as Krublev's advantages increased dramatically, and the arms company they worked for had close ties with Krublev, the arrival of the Iron Guard was like a reassurance. After going down, the motivation to run suddenly became much less.

Chen Ziang was also at a loss what to do about this.The plan for now is to either see what other tricks the financiers can play, or simply do it yourself and ask Suzuna or Zili to go over and wipe the Steel Guard off the map...

"Senior, it's better to go to the starship and take a rest." Tsukimiya Suzuna persuaded, "How long has it been since you had a good sleep?"

Chen Ziang was suddenly stunned:
"Don't you know why I can't sleep well these days?"

"Maybe it's because he was entangled by the vixen who sucked the essence." Xia Zili said from the side.

"Someone is talking about himself, right?" Tsukimiya Suzuna retorted, "Indeed, it would be more realistic if the word 'qi' was removed."

"It's really ridiculous." Xia Zili said coldly, "The time it takes for him to communicate with me is much faster than yours. Even if a certain sneaky cat is stealing food, his ability is not satisfactory, and it takes up too much time. It’s bedtime, I’ll probably get tired of it soon.”

"Zili, please stop talking." Chen Ziang was about to cry but had no tears.

I understand that you feel uncomfortable not attacking each other, but can you please stop slandering my reputation?

Tsukimiya Suzuna was shaking with anger, but it was obvious to all three of them who was stronger and who was weaker in this regard. To refute forcefully would only make her appear tough, so she could only forcefully change the subject and said:

"Anyway, Klublev is going to use strong tactics. The whole of Garcia will soon be unsafe. Seniors should return to the Forever as soon as possible."

"On this point, I have no way to refute her." Xia Zili sighed, "Zi Ang, it's not that I don't trust your strength, it's just that the memory of the previous life is a severe pain that is hard to touch for everyone. . I was awakened by nightmares several times at night, and the dreams were all..."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Chen Ziang responded helplessly, "Can I go back?"

If he continues to stay here, as the danger inside the urban area increases, the two witches will become increasingly uneasy. In the end, they will just surround him and protect him all day long, unable to do anything.

Chen Ziang originally chose to come to the Garcia sector in person to inspect the actual situation here and prepare for subsequent work, not to hinder the work in turn.

Having said that, if I want to return to the Ever Given, what path should I take?

"This is simple." Xia Zili replied, "Although the Garcia sector does not allow starship human ships to park publicly, our manpower is disguised as ordinary merchant ships. We have just obtained the trade license here, which is perfect for you. and other engineer families who are willing to immigrate."

Mixing in the warehouse of a merchant ship can be regarded as a classic smuggling method for smugglers, and the practice of interstellar trade is to strictly check the customs when entering, but it is much more relaxed when exiting. It does sound very feasible.

However, before the next day, this plan immediately faced the risk of being shelved:
The human starship suspended in space orbit was attacked by an unknown source.
