The riots in Qinggang City came much earlier than expected.

December 17th of the wasteland calendar year.

Following Commander Edmund's order, the underground must open the level within twelve hours and convene an awakening voting meeting for the manager Hades.

The relationship between the ground and the underground began to deteriorate rapidly, and in just half a day, it evolved into a situation that was about to lead to civil strife.

More and more soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor stood in front of the checkpoint.

Hundreds of armored vehicles were also surrounding the area, and as soon as the large checkpoint was opened, they rushed into it to exterminate the rebels.

Whether above or below ground.

Separated by an alloy firewall more than ten meters thick, no one expected that the situation would evolve into this situation.

"Edmund, are you crazy? If you dare to order them to attack the firewall today, this is rebellion!"

Through the communication device, Tang En's face on the screen was already ashen.

Bold can no longer describe Edmund's current operation.

To be more precise, he just wants to rebel!

"Little guy, when I was running around in this wasteland, you were still a puddle of liquid, and yet you dared to talk to me like this."

Edmund sneered, a disdainful smile appearing on his tense face.

The other party knows the news temporarily.

But this scene has been rehearsed in his mind for a whole week.

He was thinking all the time, what kind of expressions and surprises would these stubborn guys in the underground have when they suddenly realized that they wanted to forcefully break through the firewall.

Now, he sees it.

As expected, these guys are essentially the same as those wanderers.

They all have the same greed for life and fear of death, and the same fear of the unknown.

"To tell you the truth, if you don't open the firewall today, you have to open it. We are ready to fight to the death!"

"Do you believe that as long as I give the order, they will start attacking?"

"Crazy, Commander, you are absolutely crazy."

Tang En's face moved away, and an old man with an old face and white hair appeared in front of the screen.

He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at the screen:

"Edmund, you actually selected those damn bugs and wanderers to enter our refuge. You also issued them weapons and trained them to become soldiers. Do you want to divide our refuge, just like the damn tiger hunter?

Replace Lord Hades?"

"Oh? Let me tell you, old guy, you are almost losing all your teeth, but you haven't lost your ability to criticize people at all, right?"

The disdain on Edmund's face became even more obvious.

These methods are simply too childish, and I can’t even imagine that a sixty-year-old person could say them.

Do they think this is still a "peaceful" Blue Star?

After staying in that strong fortress for so long, my brain has indeed deteriorated so much that I forgot that the outside world will change.

"Back then, I should have taken the people out of the industrial area and let you have good contact with the undead."

"Don't worry, when Lord Hades wakes up, he will understand the purpose of what I am doing now."

"You are dreaming."

Seeing that Edmund seemed determined to open the firewall and go underground to hold a vote for managers to wake up.

A group of old antiques who had been kings of the underground for a long time finally started to panic.

In the long years, from the bottom to the current position, what they want is to enjoy themselves in their later years.

If Hades, the administrator, doesn't wake up soon, they still have more than ten years to slowly deal with the mess outside.

Recover that extremely important industrial core, rebuild the above-ground industrial zone, and take Qinggang City completely into your hands.

But if Hades wakes up now

If you think about it with your buttocks, at least half of them, those in high positions, must be responsible for the chaos outside.

Who will be responsible?

Who dares to take responsibility?

Who can be responsible?

The three questions were raised by Tang En in the previous meeting on "Should the Firewall Be Opened?"

No one can answer, and no one can bear the price.

"Edmund, I know what you want. Now retreat, and I will send someone to deliver a large amount of supplies right away."

"And we can forget about the things you did before, or even pretend that they never happened."

Tang En pursed his lips, and under the "pressing questioning" of dozens of pairs of old antique eyes, he could only stand up and negotiate terms.

Regardless of how fierce Edmund is screaming now, in fact, if the manager Hades wakes up, he will never escape punishment.

At the least, they could be dragged out and shot, at worst, they could be tortured to death.

But the key point is that Edmund now knows in his heart that he will never escape, and he has to drag the people below him with him.

This is a bit uncomfortable.

None of the people below are willing to be buried with Edmund, so now they can only hold their noses and sue for peace.

"Hey Tang En, I thought you would continue to be arrogant for a while."

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

The smile on Edmund's dark face became more and more unrestrained, and finally he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

And when he finished laughing, he saw that the face of the person opposite the video was almost dripping with tears.

This is what he said:

"Okay, Mingren won't tell secrets. Since you are so straightforward, I won't hide it."

"The materials, equipment, and manpower on these lists are ready for me to send up. I will continue to help you block the commotion outside."

After the words fell, a document was transmitted along the communication device.

Tang En clicked to open it, and after only reading a few lines above, he shook his head and refused: "This is impossible. You have already lost an industrial core. If you lose another one, we will definitely not be able to escape when Master Hades wakes up.

responsibility."

"We will find the lost one. This one is just temporarily borrowed from you."

"No, unless you get it back first."

The two began to pull back and forth.

There are only five industrial cores in the entire Qinggang Shelter, three of which are underground and two above ground.

Among these five units, only the one that was thrown away and the one at the bottom of the underground pressure box were used for construction.

"Without getting it, there will be no way to rebuild the industrial area."

"We can't rebuild. We won't be able to stop the next time unrest breaks out."

"If we can't stop it, we might as well hold a manager awakening meeting now. Anyway, we will die sooner or later."

Edmund began to act rogue.

Tang En subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after scanning the silent old diehards around him, he suddenly fell silent.

Perhaps this is the price everyone pays for supporting him to become the number one manager.

Edmund has made it clear that he accepts all responsibility for the damage above ground.

So underground, someone really needs to stand up and take the blame.

Obviously, he is the youngest of them all, the most junior, and has the highest status.

All in all, it is the best choice.

"Have you thought about the consequences, if you ultimately fail?"

"Consequences?" Edmund shook his head repeatedly, and his tone softened inexplicably: "Boy, when you see with your own eyes that those damn radioactive beasts will imitate humans to rob our planes and learn our knowledge. The consequences will be complete.

It’s not important anymore.”

"You should know better than me what will happen to this shelter if no one comes forward."

"What are you going to do?"

"Rebuild the industrial area and conquer all the shelters. Only our voices will be left in this city."

Tang En's eyes lit up, then dimmed quickly: "Just rely on those wanderers?"

"Of course not. Agree to my conditions and you will soon see reality develop in a good direction."
