Life Dungeon Game

He then recounted what had happened on the day Heo was not there.

After everyone ran out last night, the old foreman disappeared for a while.

Upon his return, he immediately gathered everyone and led Ivo and the others to the place Iliaan had mentioned.

They seized the two damaged mechs that were under repair in the warehouse while Vincent's remaining forces were off guard.

Under Ivo's supervision, the two mechs were mostly repaired and barely usable. Then they were attacked by another group of Ice Wolf gang members belonging to the mayor's faction.

Ivo directly piloted the mech to defeat these people, and then, led by these prisoners, they found some of the imprisoned miners.

These miners were imprisoned in dungeons privately built by the Ice Wolf Gang, where they were classified and priced like livestock, and were whipped until their skin was torn and bleeding if they resisted even slightly.

The old foreman led the group to rescue the people and took them back to the warehouse where the pharmacist treated them.

The grim situation made everyone realize that they should do something.

Some people believed that the miners' mutual aid association and the conglomerate were too far apart in strength and that they should leave the city and flee to the wilderness, waiting to accumulate strength in the future to avenge themselves.

However, their suggestion was opposed by another group of people. Escaping to the wilderness now meant abandoning the miners in the city. These miners were "sold" to private prisons, and it was unknown whether they could survive or how much suffering they would endure.

Moreover, as the incident spiraled out of control, some members of the Ice Wolf Gang were already committing indiscriminate killings.

If they run away, it would be tantamount to betraying the name of the Miners' Mutual Aid Association.

They betrayed their original beliefs.

Moreover, the arrest of the miners was nominally their doing.

While the two factions were arguing, Ivo suddenly blurted out, "Why don't we just go and take care of the mayor and the board of directors of the mining conglomerate? To catch the thief, we must first catch the king. Without the leader, things will naturally fall apart."

Hearing this, He Ao glanced at Ivo, as if it were an opinion that his fourth brother could offer.

Watson continued narrating.

Unexpectedly, Ivo's rash suggestion made everyone start to think.

The miners' mutual aid association is too weak, and all the current problems were actually instigated by the mayor and the current mining conglomerate's board of directors. If a different group of leaders were in charge, perhaps there wouldn't be so much hostility towards the miners.

This method is not good; in fact, it can be described as terrible.

However, it is indeed the only hopeful method for the Miners' Mutual Aid Association, which is currently weak but possesses certain top-tier strength (mechs).

However, this method was too radical, and the old foreman did not agree; everyone still held differing opinions.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred.

In the afternoon, a large-scale protest against arrest broke out in the districts of Northwest City where miners congregated. The miners clashed violently with the Ice Wolf Gang and the city defense forces.

The final result was that several city defense soldiers died in the chaos, more than a dozen Ice Wolf gang members were shot to death, more than seventy miners died in the chaos, and a mining consortium director who was watching and directing the operation also died in the chaos.

At the time of the incident, Heo was anxiously sending the miners' mutual aid society members he had rescued away from the city.

The city government blocked the news. After that, He Ao went to the library and didn't check the internet. The old foreman also didn't have anyone from the miners' mutual aid association contact him.

So it wasn't until now that He Ao realized what had happened this afternoon.

Soon, He Ao realized what this meant.

The miners discovered that people were dead, the mining consortium also discovered that their people were dead, and even that one of their directors had died.

The sword, which had been wrapped in cloth, now revealed its blood-sucking edge.

The conflict was completely escalated.

The situation unfolded as expected, but it was the worst possible outcome.

More miners will surely band together in rebellion, and mining conglomerates will organize more people to suppress them.

Unarmed miners are powerless against a mining conglomerate with a violent organization, especially when the conglomerate is led by a ruthless mayor.

This incident will most likely end in failure for the miners.

A large number of people will die soon, and the fighting will not stop until the blood has flowed to a certain extent.

"How did the old foreman do it?"

He looked at Watson.

The fact that Watson and his team are here suggests that the old foreman has already made his own decision on how to deal with the situation.

"The old foreman gave a speech."

Watson said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the only thought in He Ao's mind was...

out of control.

Chapter 384 He Went into the Darkness (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe and Add to Favorites)

"The old foreman gathered all the members of the miners' mutual aid association he could, as well as the surrounding miners, and gave a speech denouncing the oppression and tyranny of the mining conglomerates,"

Fourth Brother Ivo chimed in from the side.

"Everyone present was cheering excitedly, and the applause lasted for more than half an hour. The old foreman spoke for everyone."

"After the speech, we decided to wage war against the mining conglomerate. Due to the disparity in strength, we are preparing to carry out a decapitation strike. Most of the mechs of the mining conglomerate and the city defense forces were destroyed that night. Now is the time when the mining conglomerate is weak."

"And the mercenary leader, Albert, is currently capturing miners throughout the city."

"Our two teams, each piloting two mechs, could very well succeed in launching a surprise attack on the mayor's office and the mining conglomerate's building."

Upon hearing Ivo's account, Heo rubbed his temples. He suspected that Ivo had devised this simple and brutal method of warfare, and that others had simply provided the logic for him.

He looked at Watson beside him, "So how was the old foreman attacked?"

"While we were all preparing for battle that night, the old foreman began his second speech,"

Watson said slowly, "But during this speech, the old foreman was attacked by an assassin hiding among the miners. He was shot several times, and one of the bullets pierced his heart. He fell to the ground in a daze and couldn't even speak."

“We caught the assassin; he claimed to be one of the mayor’s men.”

"So who sent you to find me?"

He Ao then asked.

"It's the old foreman. He sent us to find you."

Ivo, who was standing nearby, quickly said.

He Ao: "The old foreman was delirious and couldn't speak. How could he tell you to come find me?"

"This...this..."

Ivo was speechless for a moment, unable to give a reason.

“I was right next to the old foreman when he collapsed,” Watson continued. “He was staring intently at Ivo, and I realized he might be looking for you, so I asked him the same question. He nodded with difficulty and then completely lost consciousness.”

Ivo: "Yes, yes, that's it."

······

He Ao didn't ask why only two people came. Even though the old foreman pointed to He Ao at the end, it was difficult for others to obey unless they were in a conscious state of mind.

Ultimately, He Ao was just a newcomer who had only been there for a day or two and hadn't even officially joined the miners' mutual aid association, so it was hard for them to trust him.

He looked at Watson and asked, "Did the others go to continue the assassination plan?"

"Yes,"

Watson nodded. "Originally, Ivo and I were assigned to go to the mining conglomerate building, but we heard the old foreman's last hint, so we rushed over. Ivo took his mech, and the rest of them concentrated their remaining strength to assassinate the mayor."

“All the miners were furious, and everyone wanted to avenge the old foreman.”

Ivo added from the side.

The old foreman's subsequent speech and the assassination attempt clearly polarized the miners' emotions.

This added fuel to the fire of an already sharp conflict.

Now the miners' mutual aid association should

The group was determined to kill the mayor at any cost to avenge the old foreman.

What's even more strange is that the old foreman had arranged an assassination plan beforehand.

All of this happened so naturally.

All of this unfolded logically, yet all too logically.

The old foreman himself wasn't actually that extreme, but it could be explained that the bloody events the miners experienced triggered his reaction, leading him to become extreme and want to rebel.

Resistance is also one of the current options.

But He Ao always felt that something was wrong with this.

He Ao still felt that the old foreman shouldn't have taken such a radical step.

The old foreman must have guessed something, but he couldn't say it outright. The mastermind might have used some kind of ability to monitor his actions.

If that's the case, then the old foreman must have given him a hint that night. What was that hint?

He looked at Watson and Ivo in front of him.

Just then, a pair of hands cupped his face and began to pull at the corners of his mouth. "Nell, don't look so gloomy. Smile. Maybe you'll figure things out if you smile."

He Ao: ······

He lifted the guy up and tossed him onto a somewhat withered ornamental tree.

"Neil! I'm your own brother!!! Your own brother!!!"

He ignored him and continued to think.

Watson glanced at Heo, then at Ivo hanging in the tree.

He actually understood Ivo's feelings for the old foreman. The old foreman had saved Ivo's life and then sent him to further his studies. In Ivo's heart, the old foreman was probably like an old father.

After the old foreman was shot, Ivo, who was furthest away, was the first to rush forward.

On the way to the abandoned industrial park, Ivo's eyes were red.

He was trying his best to suppress his sadness and appear happy and indifferent in front of his younger brother.
