They looked at He Ao standing at the elevator entrance, and at the corpses of the foremen behind him.
Heo gazed at the people before him, raising Kyle's corpse high in his hand.
We can live!
An old man, leaning against the wall, walked out of the workshop. He looked at He Ao's godlike appearance, the blood flowing behind him, and the corpse he held high.
A single, murky tear spilled from the corner of his eye, sliding down his dry, bark-like cheek and onto the ground.
Tick-tock...tick-tock...
Tears streamed down people's cheeks.
It was tears, or perhaps it was rain.
The torrential rain outside the window continued, and loud shouts echoed throughout the entire floor and the whole factory.
Chapter 305 Hope Building (Happy Dragon Boat Festival/Please collect and subscribe!)
The rain was still pouring down from the sky.
The bustling factory is busy, but this time the busyness is not among the cold machines as before, but in the corridors, elevators, and among people.
The nine people from Ronald's camp who had been lured by Hank were still somewhat energetic because they had only been in the factory for a few days.
Besides them, there were several other camp members who had gotten separated earlier on this floor, making a total of twenty-five people. They were all people from Ronald's camp whom Hank had lured here. It was because of these people that the young man with the shovel was able to quickly gather manpower to fight against the 'foreman'.
He Ao recruited them, but instead of immediately eliminating the foreman, he divided the twenty-five men into two groups of fifteen and ten.
The team of ten was responsible for staying behind, while the team of fifteen was led down to the fourth floor by him, where they opened the locked passage between the third and fourth floors and entered the third floor.
Speed is of the essence in warfare.
Just before the power outage, he had Eve use the local area network to hack into all the smart devices in the factory, successfully cutting off the factory's connection to the outside world when power was restored.
Kyle himself has an extremely strong desire for control. In order to prevent anyone from betraying him, he requires all smart devices in the factory to be connected to the intranet and subject to his supervision, which actually makes things easier for Heo.
When He Ao came downstairs, the gang members on the third floor and below offered no resistance whatsoever. They had not yet recovered from the killing just now. Hundreds of fully armed men were disarmed by fifteen weak wilderness wanderers.
He then called down more people, and they rummaged through the warehouse on the first floor and found a large number of weapons, which were distributed to these wilderness wanderers.
In fact, if these gang members had used these weapons to fight back, Heo might have survived, while most of the wilderness wanderers who tried to resist would have died in the hail of bullets.
This is why Heo chose Kyle as his breakthrough point, eliminating Kyle and his loyal followers before entering the factory area to rescue the wilderness wanderers.
Instead of directly entering the factory area, the reason for organizing the resistance of the wilderness wanderers was...
These unarmed and physically weak wanderers would be easy prey for heavily armed gangsters in a one-sided massacre.
Prioritize eliminating the leaders and core members of these gangs to break their fighting spirit, then organize people to take over. It may be a bit difficult in the early stages, but it will be easier later on, and it can avoid a lot of unnecessary sacrifices.
After taking control of the gang members and weapons, Heo sent men with the higher-ranking members of the surrendered gangs to persuade the gang members guarding the warehouse and the gate to surrender as well, thus bringing them under his control.
Then he personally led another group of people to start cleaning up the 'foremen' on each floor.
Aside from Kyle and his die-hard followers, the most determined to resist in the entire factory came from these 'foremen'.
Those gang members were easy to surrender to because they were paid fixed sums of money, and their income had little to do with the operation of the factory.
These foremen's income is directly tied to the factory's profits; if the factory closes down, their source of income will be cut off.
.
On the other hand, they are the frontline and direct participants in the abuse of the wilderness wanderers, accumulating the most hatred in the hearts of the wilderness wanderers. They are afraid that if they surrender, they will fall into the hands of the wilderness wanderers and their fate will not be good.
Therefore, their resistance was the most tenacious.
He Ao didn't bother arguing with them; the blood on these 'foremen's' hands could stain rivers red.
He led his men directly from the fourth floor to the thirty-fifth floor, cutting through the entire factory building.
By the time everything settled down, it was nearly dawn, and the rain was still falling.
Because of He's quick reaction in the early stages, the entire factory fell under the control of the Wilderness Wanderers.
He threw all the peripheral gang members together, stopped the trucks from leaving the warehouse, and had Eve modify the transportation plan under the pretext of factory renovation, so that subsequent trucks would not be allowed to enter the factory for the time being.
In that brief period of darkness, he took control of the entire factory.
But this is only temporary. The Hunters' Gang is not limited to these people, and Kyle's loyal followers are not limited to those in the factory.
Although Heo managed to cut off the factory's external communications with Eve, the Hunters would realize something was wrong by dawn at the latest.
Dealing with the Hunters Gang is a minor issue compared to the city's defense forces. The six thousand wilderness wanderers here are mostly people whose visas have expired. According to Dawn City's laws, they will be directly deported to the wilderness without even having the chance to go to court.
With their physical condition so depleted, they would be doomed in the wilderness.
Furthermore, He Ao couldn't be sure whether Calvin and his bodyguards carried any communication devices or whether they contacted the Nord Group at the last minute.
In other words, the actual timeframe will only be tighter than that.
After settling them in, He Ao did not hesitate. He built a management structure of forty people, based on the original twenty-five men in the camp and adding fifteen men who had performed well in the battle.
This management framework is then extended downwards, dividing the more than 6,000 wilderness wanderers into 35 teams.
These forty people were divided into thirty-five teams, with one team leader for each team and one group leader for every seven teams. Then they were arranged to come down from the factory area in batches and in an orderly manner.
The first team consisted mostly of the people from the 26th floor who had been following him in the fight. He sent these people to the warehouse area and had dozens of trucks driven out of the warehouse area.
In the wilderness, driving is a basic skill; the boy who escaped from the factory could drive when he was eleven or twelve years old.
Moreover, most of the trucks in Chenxi City have automatic driving systems. The driver only needs to act as an observer and safety officer, and adjust the system in a timely manner. The operation is basically foolproof.
He Ao arranged for people to unload the goods from the trucks. These goods were mostly basic industrial products, mostly civilian products, but some were typical standard military supplies. It was unclear whether they were for the city defense troops or the mercenary groups outside the city.
However, He Ao didn't have time to think about these things at the moment. He let those thin, desolate wanderers squeeze into the empty truck bed, set their destinations, and drove off one by one.
"Chief, where are we going?"
The young man who initially picked up the shovel lightly stood beside He Ao.
He asked in a low voice, "He is the captain of the first team."
Hope Building
He Ao watched the convoy disappear into the rain. "Once you get there, someone will meet you."
Hope Tower is a massive high-rise located in the northwest of Aston District. It was once the headquarters of the Hope Group. After the Hope Group moved out, it became a den of gangsters and homeless people, and is the largest slum in the entire city of Dawn, where tens of thousands of people live.
Heo naturally didn't have any informants inside the Hope Building, but Victor did.
His deal with Victor was that if Kyle attacked him, he would help Victor eliminate Kyle, and in exchange, Victor would help him settle the wilderness wanderers he rescued from the factory in Hope Tower.
As the controller of the largest underground gang in the entire Dawn City, Victor certainly has the power.
The Hope Building is a mixed bag of nylons and is extremely hostile to both the FBI and the Dawn City government. Inside, there is no need to worry about being kicked out by the city defense forces, making it a place where safety can be maintained for the short term.
Of course, this is not a long-term solution.
The sudden influx of over six thousand people into Hope Tower has created resource conflicts that could alter the entire building's internal structure. If the wilderness wanderers decide to stay in the building long-term, they will inevitably clash fiercely with the building's original power structure, which is beyond Victor's ability to handle.
He simply said he would try to keep these homeless people in Hope Tower as long as possible.
He Ao didn't force the issue. If he wanted the wilderness wanderers to stay in Dawn City for a long time, he needed to change some fundamental things.
Just then, he heard a soft sound in his ear, "Decoding complete."

The sudden downpour gradually subsided, turning into a lingering drizzle that seemed to fall intermittently.
He watched as the last truck disappeared into the misty rain.
He raised the bracelet in his hand; it wasn't his bracelet, but Kaven's.
At this moment, the lock screen page used to restrict access on the bracelet has disappeared, and it has been replaced by the main interface of the bracelet.
In fact, the lock screen password had already been cracked, but Kaven had set passwords for all the key software, which extended the time required to crack it.
This is a work wristband; the homepage is entirely work-related content.
He Ao opened the email in the upper right corner of the screen. The emails, neatly organized, were placed in different groups. He Ao opened the 'Board of Directors' group at the top.
The first email in the group was one with "[Board Resolution]" in the subject line.
This is one of the emails that Eve selected that required his special attention.
The email was very simple, with most of the content describing Christos's personality traits, past administrative actions, and possible administrative measures.
The conclusion was that Christos's rise to power would deal a very heavy blow to the Nord Group's 'business'.
These are all normal analysis reports. The most crucial part is the [Board Resolution] at the very bottom of the entire email.
Following a board vote, in an emergency, the group can mobilize all its resources to end Christos's tyrannical rule.
This appears to be the Nord Group's 'worst-case scenario,' but the resolution didn't specify the details regarding ending Christos's rule, so assassination is likely one possible method.
In fact, the Nord Group's assassination attempt on Christos is hardly news anymore; Christos has brought it up openly in many of his speeches.
However, to He Ao's slight surprise, the Nord Group actually brought this matter up in public, even writing it down in black and white and sending it to its executive director's email address.
He glanced at the email's date; it was from over a month ago, after Christos' election.
After the election, Christos no longer represents himself, but the next mayor of Dawn City elected by all citizens of Dawn City, and represents the entire electoral rules and laws of Dawn City.
Planning to deal with Christos is essentially challenging the entire legal system of Dawn City.
The Nord Foundation is really something...
It's bad in a very clear and unambiguous way.
However, from another perspective, this may mean that the Nord Group fundamentally disregards laws and regulations, placing its own interests above all laws and regulations, and taking this for granted.
That's why they were able to write this resolution down clearly and naturally.
For them, eliminating the mayor of Dawn City who was hindering their profits was a matter of course, a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
He was silent for a moment, then had Eve copy the email.
He then continued flipping through the bracelet and, at Eve's recommendation, opened an investigation report about 'Kel Manufacturing Company', signed 'Kavin'.
