Not long after Aaron asked Kong Yuzhang for an interview through Yu Wanzhi's channel, the other party gave him a quick and positive reply. According to Yu Wanzhi, Kong Yuzhang was "very confused" when he knew that Aaron was going to meet with him.

.

This is not incomprehensible. The last time Aaron and him came into contact, the two of them had their own agendas. Moreover, Kong Yuzhang kept Aaron in the dark if they only talked about the process regardless of the outcome. This kind of relationship would not be given in person when they met.

The last punch was enough to prove that Aaron had moral integrity, and his initiative to seek cooperation made Kong Yuzhang even more suspicious.

As the one who was deceived, there is no problem with Aaron choosing to retaliate with kindness. However, as the one who deceived others, it would be difficult for the other party to suddenly retaliate with kindness and resentment, which would make him have feelings such as delusions of being persecuted. Especially since Kong Yuzhang is now considered to be among several

Dancing on eggs, no matter which one he steps on, there is an abyss waiting for him. It would be easier to understand if he is more cautious.

"That kid is scared." Glancing at the heavily guarded temporary camp ahead, Yu Wanzhi commented disdainfully.

"Whatever, I'm not here to stir up trouble anyway." Aaron shrugged nonchalantly, "It's just that I can't let Boss Yu join in this conversation. I always feel a little sorry."

"It's okay. I understand that the more you know in this world, the better. Many times, staying ignorant is the best way to protect yourself." Yu Wanzhi smiled casually, "Since I don't plan to join the meeting, my wife and I

No one will go in, and you will be placed on the outside?"

"Sure." Aaron agreed casually, then looked at Xiao Wang, "Are you coming?"

"I am a policeman, is that appropriate?" Xiao Wang looked hesitant.

"You decide for yourself whether it's suitable or not. How you explain it when you get inside is also your own business." Aaron maintained his indifferent attitude.

"Then I'd better not join in the fun." Xiao Wang, who just wanted to solve this damn task as soon as possible and leave the land of right and wrong, gave in decisively.

Aaron didn't say anything else, and jumped out of the car when he reached the handover point. He saw Lei Bao's figure in the team that came to "greet" him. He was also an acquaintance.

"Officer Chen, Representative Kong is waiting for you inside." Lei Bao drove away the others and came to lead the way for Aaron himself.

"Where are these people from? They don't look like people who can be selected from those immigrants." Aaron glanced at the armed men who came with Lei Bao. These people looked very professional and young and strong.

.

"You know the followers of Representative Kong." Lei Bao smiled bitterly.

"Ah, I probably understand." Aaron roughly analyzed the identities of these people. They should be the extra-staff troops originally arranged by the military to handle Kong Yuzhang's "accidents" for him. In theory, these prosthetic transformers are still loyal.

For the military, their names will no longer appear on the records the military shows to outsiders.

"It's not easy for them either. Like me and Representative Kong, we are stuck between two sides and can't find a way out." Lei Bao sighed.

"Then to whom do they give their loyalty now?" Aaron asked curiously.

"Give it to whoever can make them live safely." Lei Bao curled his lips upon hearing this, "Don't think that soldiers are all fools who swear to obey orders to the death. Everyone knows that prosthetic implants will no longer be tolerated in the future army.

exist, even if we were originally created by the military."

"A rational choice." Aaron nodded and looked at the soldier passing by. He didn't know if it was due to psychological factors. For a moment, he seemed to feel helpless and confused from the soldier.

The temporary camp where we met was originally used as a cargo relay station for new immigrant scavengers. The complex terrain of District 9 prevented many scavengers from returning to the safe area protected by the wall in time before dark. They gave up their scavenging income and lost their income.

They were unwilling to give in. So at first, someone set up this kind of camp completely autonomously and spontaneously at a convenient location outside the wall. They used part of the harvest as a reward to provide security protection, goods storage and even second-hand reselling business for the scavengers. Later, it was added

It attracted camp managers to join in and gradually became an outpost for new immigrants to expand their influence outside the development area.

Never underestimate the wisdom of working people, who can still develop a vibrant new economic system even in ruins.

However, the business in this camp was very deserted today. In addition to Kong Yuzhang's personal arrival, the main reason was that the military blocked the entry and exit of District 9. Without a channel to communicate with the outside world, the residents of District 9 could not do anything no matter how hard they tried.

It is difficult to keep the economic chain turning.

"What's the situation in the development zone now?" Aaron asked, looking at the depression behind the heavily guarded area.

"Oops, if the blockade continues, it will definitely get worse." Lei Bao sighed, "Representative Kong tried many ways to get the military to open up to us, but he couldn't read back every time. Immigrants in the camp

I think the current situation was caused by the police causing trouble. A few days after the blockade began, the police were driven out of the camp by violent elements. Now their whereabouts are completely unknown. To be honest, I feel pity for the police. They were just ordered to come.

Help us maintain order and solve problems, but I didn’t expect this to end up like this.”

"The mob in the camp launched a violent attack on the police?" Aaron thought of the police officer who died in the rubble and asked one more question.

"We can't stop him. If we try to stop him, we will be regarded as joining the police. Then no one will be able to maintain order in the development area." Lei Bao explained, taking Aaron's question as a veiled accusation.

"Are there many casualties on both sides during the process?" Aaron actually didn't care about the mob attacking the police. It was almost an inevitable result.

"Not big." Lei Bao shook his head, "To be precise, the police were quite restrained. After discovering that the people in the camp were getting more and more angry with them, they should have prepared an emergency evacuation plan internally, so when the conflict really broke out

The police evacuated in an orderly manner, and of course we helped a little bit, but the main reason was that the police were well-trained themselves."

"No one really died?" Aaron cast a somewhat disbelieving look.

"You can't trust your former colleagues that much?" Lei Bao gave him a strange look, "At least according to the information I know, no one died on the police side until they exited the development zone. On the contrary, the mob team that attacked them was there.

They started to get out of control midway. They smashed, looted and burned, causing local panic. Several people were killed due to crowding and stampeding, and several more were injured when the troublemakers were controlled by us."

Seeing Lei Bao's words, Aaron simply kept silent. Since he was not a casualty during the retreat from the development area, how did the policeman die in the ruins? Where are the other remaining policemen now?

Seeing that Aaron refused to talk to him, Lei Bao was a little unhappy but did not continue to argue. He knew that the person Aaron came to negotiate with this time was Kong Yuzhang, and the fact that Kong Yuzhang was willing to talk to Aaron about this matter proved in itself.

Aaron's value.

All the way through the camp, Aaron stopped at a place that looked like a communication station.

"Representative Kong is inside. He thinks you would prefer a quiet conversation environment." The escort team has formed a circle outside the communication station, blocking all curious glances coming this way.

"That's great." Aaron smiled, opened the door and walked in.

Kong Yuzhang was sitting inside, looking out the window with empty eyes. The high-spirited spirit he showed when they last met has completely disappeared from him, and was replaced by complex emotions mixed with fatigue, tenacity, confusion, etc. This

It made him look as if he was more than ten years older.

Isn't this appearance just an act? Aaron murmured in his mind.

"Oh, you're here, sit down." Kong Yuzhang, who noticed Aaron's arrival a few seconds later, waved to him apologetically and motioned for him to go over and sit down.

"It looks like you've been tortured quite a lot." Aaron smiled.

"Isn't that true? I thought that bringing a group of mobs that were on the verge of losing control to settle down in the ruins would be the most difficult task. I didn't expect that there would be something worse later." Kong Yuzhang showed a bitter smile, and his whole body was full of energy.

The energy and demeanor were hugely different from the last time we met.

"So you are now in a state where you can tell the truth." Aaron's intuition told him that this was the real Kong Yuzhang.

"If you want to mention what happened last time, I can only apologize to you in my own name." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Kong Yuzhang's face, and he slightly lowered his head towards Aaron.

"It's not that, it's not that, everyone has their own difficulties." Aaron waved his hands quickly, "It's just that Representative Kong is willing to tell the truth to me, and I feel better when I tell the truth."

"Oh?" Kong Yuzhang raised his eyebrows, "It seems that Officer Chen must have brought some great news?"

"Yes, something related to General Zhen, do you want to hear it?" Aaron smiled.
