Chapter 101 Target, Heaven Computing Center

What happened in the cave moved the bigwigs in the middle and upper city areas.

There had been numerous resistances from gangsters in the cave before, but the bigwigs knew that gangsters were not the kind of people who would obey orders, so resistance was normal.

But what they never expected was that this time the resistance included not only psychics from the gangs, but more importantly, those penniless and precarious peasants.

These guys, who couldn't even beat the children in the central city, killed hundreds of law enforcement team members and city tax bureau employees with gravel, bonfires, and sticks.

This result surprised the bigwigs.

In their eyes, these cave dwellers were no different from garbage. Even after the psychic energy tax was levied for three hundred years, they dared not offer any resistance.

But with the outbreak of this incident, a large number of ordinary cave people joined the cave resistance.

After the meeting and discussion, the bigwigs quickly reached a consensus.

"This is no longer an ordinary mud-legged man, we must strike back with a strong punch!"

Subsequently, patrol teams, law enforcement teams, and police stations totaling more than 30,000 people were sent into the cave.

Although restricted by the environment of the cave, a large number of mid-to-high-end weapons cannot be used underground, but individual equipment such as exoskeleton armor, mechanical hounds, small psychic cannons, etc. are enough to crush those mud-legged people.

Since the entrance to the cave is too narrow to accommodate large numbers of people, these large cleaning teams dispersed into many caves to enter, in order to facilitate the subsequent cleaning of other caves.

Afterwards, the large cleanup teams sent underground were ambushed by a large number of psychics.

Thousands of psychics were waiting at almost every entrance. In the narrow terrain, the large cleanup team didn't even have time to deploy their formation before they were blocked by the large number of psychics.

If they encounter a small-scale team, they will use the psychics' numerical advantage to crush and kill them.

If they encounter a large-scale cleanup team with heavy firepower, the psychics will use their understanding of the terrain to directly blow down the entrance to the cave and bury the powerful enemy hundreds of meters deep underground.

In a short period of time, the cleanup team suffered heavy losses, and less than 20% of the people arrived at the designated location.

While the big shot was furious, he also began to feel a little panic in his heart.

They didn't know why tens of thousands of psychics were born in the lower city area where resources were scarce and even conventional psychics were not available.

Even in the central city, psychics are considered respectable figures, but the number of psychics in the lower city is simply unreasonable.

In the cave environment, the advantages of weapons were completely eliminated, and the individual combat capabilities were unable to contend with so many psychics, which immediately made the bigwigs feel difficult.

Someone proposed to deploy a strategic-level deterrent underground, but everyone voted against it.

Because they know clearly that the real purpose of the Universal Corporation this time is to deliver soul computing power to the Heaven Computing Center.

Once large weapons are used, there will inevitably be a large number of casualties. For the Heaven Computing Power Center, this is a waste of precious soul computing power.

When the world's giant companies track down the suspect, no one who agreed to vote will be able to escape.

Unable to use large weapons, it seems that the only way to push forward is to use more powerful individual combat forces. The only place in City No. 14 that can mobilize tens of thousands of psychics is the Upper City.

But should we send tens of thousands of psychics from the upper city to fight the peasants from the lower city in the caves?

This is simply an insult to the status of the dignitaries in the Upper City District! For a moment, none of the forces in the Middle and Upper City Districts could convince each other, and the promotion of the government decree and the large-scale cleanup of the Lower City District were actually in an awkward stalemate at this moment.

Even the large cleanup team that had suffered heavy casualties did not dare to move out rashly again, and could only stay in the bridgehead to prevent sneak attacks by psychics in the lower city.

This situation lasted for a week, and the policy push of City No. 14 had made no progress, and finally the world's giant companies were held accountable.

Faced with the pressure from the upper class and the resistance from the common people, the bigwigs finally made a decision after careful consideration.

Let’s deal with Midtown first!

The 30-year spiritual energy tax is levied in advance not only in the lower city area, but also in everyone.

The people in the upper city are wealthy and have nothing to fear, while the people in the lower city who go barefoot are not afraid of the fierce resistance from those who wear shoes.

Only the people in the middle city have some wealth, but not enough to pay the psychic tax for thirty years. They want to resist, but they have too many concerns and do not have the courage and strength of the lower city.

A large number of ordinary people in Midtown were sent to the Paradise Computing Center, including many small businessmen.

Even if there are wealthy businessmen who have managed to pay the spiritual energy tax for thirty years by selling real estate at great expense, what followed was bank debts, capital chain shortages, and acquisitions by large companies.

Many big businessmen were forced into bankruptcy, but the powerful people at the top of the food chain took this opportunity to acquire a large number of high-quality assets and made a lot of money.

In Cave No. 71, inside the underground pharmaceutical factory.

Lu Yan's eyes swept over the message sent by Shak. The bigwigs in the middle and upper city areas were still immersed in the feast of dividing up the middle city area, and the underground caves in the lower city area maintained peace for the time being.

This meant that his plan to speed up the production of Nine Dragon Power potions to add psychics to the lower city to counter the Great Purge had completely worked.

It has been four months since Lu Yan came to the cyber version. As long as he can hold on for another two months, he will be able to leave this place of trouble.

But Lu Yan knew very well that this matter was not that simple.

Those big shots are currently only temporarily turning their attention to the ordinary people and small businessmen in the central city. These are just appetizers in this policy.

As time goes by, the pressure from global giants will inevitably grow, and Shangcheng District will take action sooner or later.

What will greet the people of the cave at that time is not the psykers' petty fights against the law enforcement team, but the perfectly transformed psykers from the Upper City District fighting against the naturally transformed psykers brought about by the power of the Nine Dragons.

Both the psychic system and the technology mastered by the upper city are far stronger than those of the lower city.

The only thing the Lower City can rely on is the number of psychics.

Lu Yan has upgraded the production line again, bringing the output of Nine Dragons Power Potion to a staggering 130,000. He even began to distribute some Nine Dragons Power Potion for free in order to produce more psychics as soon as possible.

But Lu Yan still didn't have much confidence in the subsequent battles.

Because Lu Yan knew very well that once the Upper City District took action, even if the underground cave achieved a temporary victory at the psychic level, there were still higher-level psychics in the Upper City District.

The current cave is far from being able to resist the powerful people of a higher realm. Even if Lu Yan kills the upper-level psychic, there are more extraordinary psychics in the Upper City who are suspected to be comparable to the Golden Core.

Mere strength is not enough to support a head-on confrontation. If you want to survive this disaster, you must find another way.

Lu Yan already had a goal for this, and that was the Heaven Computing Power Center!
