He just finished speaking.

An overwhelming roar came from the crowd.

"It shouldn't be!"

"We are human too! We deserve Nikki's protection too!"

"Why are the Ark people the only ones who can live peacefully in the sunshine and be protected by Nikki?"

"Why?!"

Pairs of bloodshot eyes and unwilling roars came from the mouths of the people in the outer area.

The leading man listened to the roar of the crowd.

After inspecting the area while holding the baby, he raised the torch again and pointed it at the city wall in front of him: "People of the Ark, if you still have a conscience, please listen carefully!"

"I don't understand! We are all human beings, what did we do wrong?"

"Just because we were born in the Outer Rim, are we inherently inferior?"

"Just because we're from the Outer Rim, we don't deserve even a little bit of light or even material assistance?"

"The Ark clearly has the ability to shelter us and protect us, but why do you cruelly isolate your compatriots outside the city walls?!"

"answer my question!"

The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the false sky.

Under the gaze of the people in the outer area, the soldiers and mass-produced Nikki on the city wall had no expression on their faces.

After all, they are just soldiers following Ark's orders. No matter how these poor people scream, they will not react at all. Even if they do, the only emotion in their hearts is probably "helplessness".

"If I were a qualified politician, I definitely wouldn't say anything right now." Green watched the people shouting on TV and whispered, "As the leaders, all we have to do is play dead and pass the problem on to Nikki and the poor. We can drive a wedge between humans and Nikki, causing them to hate and hurt each other. When the fight is almost over, we can intervene to appease both sides. This way, the central government can more easily manipulate these two groups."

"Perhaps this is what is called mutual harm among the lower classes."

"Wow, Commander, that's really scary." Anis was shocked by Green's words. "But when I think about it carefully, it really makes sense. These people in the Outer Region will definitely bear a grudge against Nikki in the future, but in the end, what can we do?"

Green nodded and said, "Yes, we don't have any solution to this problem right now."

"After all, this world is inherently unfair. There are always those who occupy high positions and enjoy all the resources, while there are always those who work in mediocrity and struggle to make ends meet. As long as those in high positions remain unmoved and don't give others excuses or leverage, public opinion alone will never be able to bring them down. As the saying goes, they have the tanks and guns, so what can we use to fight them?"

"but..."

Green was halfway through his words when something happened in the outer area.

The poor people who were protesting were praying for a response from the Ark.

And Ark did respond.

A drone slowly floated down from the city wall, hovered in front of everyone, and turned on the projection.

The person in the projection was none other than the burly deputy commander of the Ark, "Duo Wan".

As an officer from the Outer Rim who had risen step by step to the rank of deputy commander, Duo Wan glanced coldly at the protesting crowd below. Before he could say anything, the man standing at the head suddenly recognized his face with joy.

"Dowan, is that you?"

"You still remember me, I'm Luna. We used to scavenge together and lie on the ground together counting stars!"

"I didn't expect you to be doing so well in Ark now, so please listen to our ideas!"

"Are we from the Outer Rim not human beings anymore?!"

Luna's plea was met with only Duowan's ruthless sneer.

Through the drone, he cast a contemptuous look at the poor people on the other side of the screen.

"us?"

"Who's with you and us?"

Chapter 4000: Krau: The Ambition of the Crow ()

"Duo Wan, you...what do you mean?!"

"What do you mean?" Duo Wan sneered. He crossed his arms and looked down at the angry people in the Outer Rim. He said disdainfully, "I'm just surprised. You Outer Rim trash eat and use the Ark every day. You even build your houses with plastic and iron sheets picked up from the Ark. Not only do you not express gratitude to the Ark, but you actually dare to come to the city wall to protest?"

"Who gave you the courage to stand here?"

This statement came out.

All the protesters' faces were contorted.

Luna, who was holding the baby, was so angry that his fingers were shaking.

"Duo Wan, you... I really didn't expect you to be like this!"

"I'll say it again, don't call me by my first name, call me Deputy Commander."

"you!!"

"Deputy Commander..." A blind man stepped forward, gently tugging at Luna's arm. Then, holding a torch, he shouted, "You were once from the Outer Rim, too. You know how difficult our lives are, right?"

"Every day I live in the darkness of the underground, squeezed under the city wall to pick up the leftover garbage from the Ark. My eyesight is deteriorating and I am plagued by diseases."

"Not only that, you also brutally took the brains of those baby girls, cruelly transformed girls in their teens and twenties into Nikki, and dumped them on the ground where Letcher was rampant."

"We have sacrificed so much, given so much, and yet we are being treated so unfairly."

"Now, even Letcher is here to slaughter us!"

"With so many lives in front of you, why are you, the Ark, so indifferent?!"

"Deputy Commander Duo Wan, answer my question!"

Facing questions from everyone.

Duo Wan closed his eyes and said coldly, "The resources of the Ark are limited, and the land is also limited. We don't have that many resources to support garbage like you who are useless to society. The answer is that simple. Any other questions?"

"What did you say, trash?"

"You called us trash?!"

“We are human too!”

"Why do you slander us like this?!"

Duo Wan sneered and said arrogantly, "Is there anything wrong with calling you trash? I bet there must be quite a few members of terrorist organizations among you right now, such as the notorious organization in the Outer Rim, Steps into Heaven."

"Over the past year, there have been a total of 64 terrorist attacks on the Ark."

"Most of these cases involved the involvement of Steps into Heaven. As for the Outer Rim, not only did they not oppose this organization, but they also regarded them as spiritual leaders and fully supported their terrorist attacks."

"So, in my eyes, you guys are nothing more than scum who kill and burn people every day, attack innocent people on the Ark, and blow up buildings. What's wrong with calling you trash?"

"That wasn't us!" a lame woman stepped forward and roared, "Besides, Stepping into Heaven is just another way of speaking for us. If it weren't for them, Ark wouldn't even remember there was a place called the Outer Rim! Don't make yourself sound so pure!"

"That's right," another hunched man echoed. "If it weren't for the oppression of the Ark, how could we possibly be living in such a hopeless situation? You built a high wall, isolating us in a place like this to die. And aren't you the Ark dogs who are the instigators of all this?"

"Stepping into Heaven is just another way of reminding you that we are also living people. If the Ark continues to ignore us, we in the Outer Rim don't mind using some extreme measures!"

"Correct!"

"Get your priorities straight, Ark Dog!"

"You were the ones who oppressed us first, and now you turn around and accuse us of being extreme?"

"Fuck you!"

The crowd was excited and swore at many people.

Duo Wan was not good at talking big. Facing these angry poor people, he frowned, slammed the table in front of him, and shouted, "I tell you, garbage should stay where garbage belongs. You keep clamoring for privileges, but don't you see how you look like? Do you deserve it?"

"The Ark will give you nothing."

"Just wait for death in that dark and dark place."

"you!!"

boom! !

In the chaos, someone fired the first shot, blowing up dozens of drones.

The crowd was in turmoil, and the Nikkis on the city wall looked troubled, not knowing what to do.

"That deputy commander named Duo Wan really can't speak a word." Anis leaned back on the sofa, watching TV, and complained with empty eyes, "He's not even willing to say a few polite words. Is he really involved in politics?"

"And those people also said that he was from the Outer Rim."

"After all, we were companions in the past. Is it necessary to be so heartless?"

"Of course." Green controlled the drone and said, "You know, it's very difficult to achieve merit and rank within the Ark now. Even I've killed so many Letchers, but I'm only a captain now. But it's different if you kill people in the Outer Rim."

"Because of the terrorist attacks, the Outer Rim has always been a thorn in the side of many citizens of the Ark. Everyone hates it."

"I think Dowan has long been looking for an excuse to eliminate the Outer Rim, then label all these people as terrorists and use that as his own achievement."

"Master, now that you put it that way, it does make sense!" Nien pondered for a moment and couldn't help but exclaim, "Then, come to think of it, this deputy commander named Duo Wan is quite clever."

"Smart, but not too smart."

"He's just fighting for the interests of his own faction," Green explained. "But this will definitely anger people from other factions, because the Ark can't do without the Outer Region. If one day, even the people there disappear, who will provide the Ark with brains? Who will be Nikki, who goes to the surface to die?"

Click.

While the three were chatting, Rabbi, who was out on his daily patrol, also came back.

"Commander, Anis, Nien, what are you looking at?"

"Outer Rim protest film."

"What a coincidence, Lapi, you just missed the most exciting part. That deputy commander named Duowan was exposing himself like crazy. It was really exciting." Anis grinned and said jokingly, "Honestly, if we released that video just now, there would be at least a newspaper willing to pay a high price for it, right?"

"Anis, if you spread the video about the central government, you'll most likely be taken away by the government and have your memory erased by brainwashing." Rabbi glanced at Anis and said, "It's best not to have such an idea."

"Know, know."

"I'm just mentioning it."

"Well, since the Commander isn't short of money now, I'll just be a parasite." Anis giggled, curled up on the sofa for a while, and shamelessly lay on Green's thighs, opening her arms to him: "Please let me be a lazy bum for the rest of my life! Commander~"

"No one can be a lazy person forever, Anis." After complaining inwardly, Lapi sat on the sofa next to Green. She looked at Green's pensive face and couldn't help asking, "Commander, what are you thinking about?"

"You've noticed, Rabbi, that the relationship between the Outer Rim and the Ark has been very tense recently."

"With so many people provoking me, it's hard not to suspect that those in the Outer Rim are preparing to launch a major attack on the Ark." Green rested his hands on his chin and said in a deep voice, "The storm is coming, and we must be fully prepared."

"I see. So, are there any plans you need to inform us of?"

"There is no plan. Four words: improvise."

"Then Commander, if they really start fighting, who should we help?"

"Well..."

Green stood up from the sofa and stared at the flames rising into the sky on the TV. "I don't know how to answer. But if one day I could swing the balance of the world, whether it's Nikki or the poor, I would definitely make sure these people have a place to live."

......

same moment.

In a dark house in the outer fringe area.

As usual, Krau was leaning on the sofa, idly watching the people on TV protesting against the Ark. Behind her, a black-haired woman wrapped in heavy armor was leaning against the mottled wall, staring at the TV with a serious face.

"Protest..."

"It's so boring."

"Ever since I was made into Nikki, the Outer Rim has protested to the Ark over a dozen times, but has it ever resulted in anything? These people on TV don't know that their protests only result in more indifference and disdain. Every time they protest, more Ark citizens will dislike the Outer Rim."

"The same show, played over and over again, is like a movie that plays in a loop. Halfway through, the progress bar is moved back to the beginning."

"When will this story end?"

Krau fumbled for a lighter, lit a thin cigarette, and muttered to himself.

After a moment of silence, Krau looked at the black-haired woman standing behind him. "So, what do you want from me, the current leader of Heaven, EH?"

The woman called EH pondered for a moment, a resolute look on her face: "Krawu, it's time. I want to end this."

"......"
