Longmen is a commercial city. If he breaks with Rhodes Island, companies that have dealings with Rhodes Island will attack him, such as Penguin Logistics. Chu Yun thinks that Rhodes Island will entrust Texas and others to arrest him, and he can't find any connections to resist.
He can rely on Chen, but if he relies on Chen, he will not be able to change the plot. Chen is a police superintendent and will not sympathize with the Integration Movement operating in Ursus. If he knew that Tallulah was possessed by the black snake, he would probably rush forward with a knife and would not be able to pull her away.
Rhodes Island is not completely unsuccessful in business. It still has a say in the field of medical care for the infected, and is also building up its network of contacts by relying on its elite operators. Lungmen, where no large medical companies are stationed, is the main target of Rhodes Island's development.
Although in Chu Yun's plan, he only wanted to earn initial capital in Longmen.
“But, but…!”
An Suo anxiously wanted to continue persuading, but when he looked into Chu Yun's unmoved eyes, he lost his confidence.
An Suo felt Chu Yun's kindness. He didn't want her to be implicated. If she followed Chu Yun, her fate would be tied to Chu Yun's. Besides, she was not as capable as Chu Yun.
Is it worth it for a man you don’t even know well?
An Suo sighed that she was so stupid.
A man who can fight for your dignity at all costs.
What was stupid about Anso was that she hesitated.
"I'll go with you!"
An Suo said angrily and glared at Chu Yun.
"Why, Anso? There's no need. The conflict between Rhodes Island and I has nothing to do with you. You don't need to get involved."
Chu Yun smiled bitterly and didn't want to agree.
He understood Ansuo's intentions and was satisfied. Chu Yun guessed that Ansuo was blaming himself, so he could not agree to that and was unwilling to put Ansuo in danger.
"Humph!"
An Suo looked unhappy and snorted coldly without saying anything, but walked towards Chu Yun.
Her steps were extremely fast, and she was getting closer and closer under Chu Yun's confused gaze.
Then, he grabbed the collar of the confused Chu Yun, and An Suo leaned forward to kiss Chu Yun's mouth just as he was about to speak. He bit Chu Yun's lips hard as if in revenge, but couldn't bear to stretch out his tongue to lick it, leaving his own mark.
After licking the saliva from the corner of Chu Yun's mouth, she slowly took a step back, her blushing cheeks close to Chu Yun's shocked face.
"Now, I have something to do with you, you big fool!"
An Suo's face turned red like an apple.
……
Chapter 18: The Collapse of Reputation
night.
It's quiet at night.
Longmen slum.
The Rhodes Island SWEEP troops are monitoring the vicinity of Anso's cabin.
Being on a high place, they took turns observing the surroundings without a moment's slackness. This task was directly ordered by Kal'tsit, and they were responsible for monitoring Chu Yun's every move.
SWEEP's configuration is different from that of ordinary Rhodes Island teams. It is basically composed of special forces, pioneers, snipers and magicians, and is never responsible for the front battlefield. This is due to the particularity of SWEEP, which is specifically responsible for the work on the "other side" of Rhodes Island.
Since the founding of Rhodes Island, there have naturally been internal conflicts. After the assassination of Princess Theresa of Kazdel, Kal'tsit established this department. To this day, few people except the top leaders of Rhodes Island know about it. It is the highest-level force of Rhodes Island.
"How is the doctor? Is he still in the house?"
Sweeper, the captain of the SWEEP team, asked as he stood on a tall building, with a SWEEP operator next to him who was monitoring with a telescope.
They had been assigned to keep an eye on the Doctor all day, and even turned a blind eye when Ace was stabbed by the Doctor. The first rule of SWEEP was to only focus on the targets within the mission, and objects outside the mission targets were not under SWEEP's control.
"Captain, the doctor and the infected person named Anso are in the room. I don't know what they are doing."
"Hahaha, did you see that? The doctor was so handsome today. He blew that operator's head off with one shot. If it were me, I would have chopped that operator into pieces. Killing him would have stained my blood."
"Yeah, yeah, damn it, I really envy that little rabbit. How did it get to be with the Doctor? Damn it, I also want to talk to the Doctor all night long!"
"The Doctor is my wife!"
The SWEEP team operators in the high-rise building were discussing the matter, and after one operator spoke, they all started talking.
Even though the elite operators of Rhodes Island don't deal with the Doctor, in the SWEEP teams, it's the exact opposite. The Doctor is the modern-day sweetheart of Terra, and everyone wants to get him.
Most of the operators of the SWEEP team are from the lowest social class, and each of them has their own difficulties in not appearing in public. After signing the Rhodes Island Agreement, they cannot live openly in Rhodes Island and disguise themselves, or perhaps there is no such "person" in Rhodes Island at all.
However, this obviously involves various inconveniences. It is the Doctor who usually coordinates the daily life of the SWEEP team in Rhodes Island. Not only does he take good care of them, but he also always communicates with them intimately. They entrust many of their wishes to the Doctor, such as writing letters to their families, even if they seem insignificant in the eyes of outsiders.
For Rhodes Island's operators to join the SWEEP team is equivalent to a contract of sale. If Rhodes Island completes a certain "request" of the SWEEP operator, the operator will serve SWEEP for life and cannot leave the SWEEP team for his entire life, otherwise he will die.
They didn't help when the doctor was bullied, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.
SWEEP's rules prohibit operators from interfering in Rhodes Island's internal affairs. They really can't stand being lectured, as that would only be counterproductive to the doctor. People like them are only allowed on the dark side of Rhodes Island; that's the rule.
They suffered terribly after the PhDs resigned. The new leaders they got were incompetent and looked down on their "lowly" status.
What else could they say? Just accept it. They'd endured all kinds of hardships at SWEEP, so this wasn't a problem.
The doctor told them that they also have the right to pursue happiness in SWEEP, and they agreed with it deeply. However, the new leader certainly did not think so. He believed that tools are just tools, and the birth of feelings would be troublesome, so it would be better to nip it in the bud and let the SWEEP operators get used to it.
"Hey, you guys, don't think you can just say whatever you want just because I'm your captain... If the other operators hear you, they'll complain, and I won't be able to report you then."
The scavenger held her forehead with a headache and replied, "Are these operators under her really not a problem? Why does her right eyelid keep twitching when she hears her operators talking?"
"Hey, Captain, please stop talking. Aren't you the one who's most excited about the doctor's resignation? You even picked up a knife and wanted to kill Lingyu and the others. It was a blessing that we stopped you."
"Yeah, I really don't know what Dr. Kal'tsit is thinking. She doesn't even look down on someone as outstanding as the doctor. Many of the operators in Rhodes Island are also shameless and have been making things difficult for the doctor."
"That's not true. It's just some of the operators. I think Warfarin and the others are quite nice to the Doctor, but unfortunately they can't say anything. Most of them remain silent."
The SWEEP operators were arguing with each other, and none of them could be called Scavengers. They could not see the moral character of some operators in Rhodes Island, and the world of "elite" would not tolerate their interference.
"That's enough. Stop talking about Dr. Kal'tsit. Just focus on your mission and wait for the next shift!"
The Scavenger frowned and interrupted the SWEEP operators' speeches, this time with a stern tone.
That is precisely why among the senior officers of SWEEP, Kal'tsit is someone who cannot be talked about casually. And this time, Rhodes Island's dismissal of many ordinary operators made the scavenger even more frightened. It is not as simple as it seems.
It seems to be an ordinary dismissal, but in fact it is some ordinary operators being "cleaned up".
The composition of Rhodes Island's operators is complex, and they come from various forces. After being dismissed, it means that some operators are no longer contractors of Rhodes Island, and their "disappearance" has nothing to do with Rhodes Island.
Several teams of SWEEP immediately tracked the movements of the dismissed ordinary operators. Those who were not spies were let go. The key point is that after investigation, it was really horrifying to find that 30% of the dismissed ordinary operators were hired by other organizations. What kind of sieve has Rhodes Island become after being infiltrated?
Maybe financial problems were just an excuse, the scavenger sometimes thought.
Ordinary operators will be dismissed, and Rhodes Island's elite operators will work harder to be "loyal" to Rhodes Island to protect themselves. The importance of SWEEP will also be greatly enhanced, and the status of Rhodes Island's veteran operators will be reduced accordingly.
Moreover, the composition of Rhodes Island's elite operators has long been dominated by new operators. From another perspective, Rhodes Island's new elite operators are the main force, while the old elites have great say. Rhodes Island's new elite operators have been dissatisfied with the old elites for a long time.
But what’s interesting is that the scavenger noticed a characteristic: those who bullied the doctor were all new operators of Rhodes Island, and the old elites were not directly involved.
Once the doctor resigns, the biggest trust of the old elite will no longer exist. The doctor is the person the old elite expects, even if he cannot "command".
Therefore, after the doctor left, who would be able to represent both the new elites of Rhodes Island and the old elites of Kazdel, Rhodes Island?
This isn't a dismissal... it's a power grab!
Kal'tsit wants to unify the power of Rhodes Island, just like before the Doctor came back!
Even the scavengers were hoping her judgment was wrong, which was too bad. She knew the character of most of Rhodes Island's new elite operators very well. Expecting those elite operators...
"Captain, there's a situation."
A SWEEP Operator with strong sensory abilities warned, "The temperature in the cabin where the Doctor is is rising rapidly, and an Originium reaction has been detected."
"It's rising rapidly. Is that the infected person named Anso performing a spell, or is it..."
"No, I didn't sense any fluctuations from the spell. Perhaps the doctor is..."
"You mean the doctor might be making a homemade Originium bomb in there?"
The scavenger was curious and thought about it carefully, thinking that this was the only possible possibility.
Their team's goal was to secretly protect the doctor's safety and wait for instructions at any time to bring the doctor back to Rhode Island. She was very clear about the doctor's itinerary for the day. The printing factory, the factory in the Lungmen slums, the cement factory, and the metal manufacturing plant were more than enough to collect materials for simple homemade bombs, and she also reported it.
She couldn't figure out anything except that the printing factory was printing a bunch of white paper. Wasn't it obvious that the doctor wanted to make a bomb?
Who are you going to bomb? It won’t be a love suicide with the infected person named Anso, right? It’s not likely to...bomb the Rhodes Island operators who will arrive later, and it’s even more impossible. It can’t be compared with the strange gun in the doctor’s hand.
Being a bomb doctor is really useless if you run away, but where can the doctor run to? This slum is also known as the Dragon Gate sewer, which cannot leave the city. The doctor...
sewer?
"You stay here and watch. The others will come with me to take a look."
With a solemn expression, the scavenger led the SWEEP team operators to jump down without thinking. Flying over eaves and walls was not surprising for the SWEEP team operators who were proficient in using Originium techniques to enhance their physical functions.
The scavengers were not afraid that the doctor would escape through the sewers that might be hidden under the cabin. They could catch up with the doctor no matter how far he ran. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to expose herself and forcibly control the doctor. Kal'tsit told her that the bottom line was that the doctor was not allowed to leave Longmen.
-boom!
Just as the scavenger expected, a sharp explosion was heard in the wooden house not long after, and messy debris flew everywhere, and the house collapsed with a loud bang.
"Captain, look!"
But before the scavenger could find the entrance to the sewer, Operator SWEEP, who had picked up a piece of paper scattered on the dusty ground, shouted in panic. The paper was marked with "Rhodes Island Originium Potion Making Book", which contained detailed information on Rhodes Island's production of Originium potions.
Not only the Originium Potion Making Book, but every piece of paper that fell recorded Rhodes Island's personnel routines and policies in different aspects regarding the infected, written by Chu Yun himself, without missing a word.
What the dumbfounded scavengers didn't know was that loud explosions were gradually heard from not only the wooden houses, but all over the Longmen slums, waking up the sleeping people of Longmen, who all saw white paper scattered on the ground.
It records the secrets of Rhodes Island and is the highest document of Rhodes Island.
Word spread quickly, and everyone in the Lungmen slums discovered the truth: the cost of the original stone medicine was so cheap, but Rhodes Island, which served the infected, increased the price a hundred times and even oppressed the infected.
An unknown anger spread among the people in the Longmen slums.
It will start from the slums of Lungmen, and then extend to the entire city of Lungmen and all over Terra. Conversely, the angry and dismissed ordinary operators of Rhodes Island will also confirm the rumors and hope that Rhodes Island will pay the price.
Rhode Island's reputation was completely destroyed.
……
There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version
Chapter 19: Who do you think you are?
Rhode Island.
In the middle of the night,
All of Rhodes Island's senior executives were notified to go to the conference room for a meeting before they even woke up.
The veteran leaders of Rhodes Island have been screwed lately. Not only are they overworked and working overtime every day, but they're also being denied sleep, right? Most of them, filled with anger, arrived at the conference room, eager to see what Kal'tsit would say.
After hearing what Kal'tsit said, the faces of the senior cadres of Rhodes Island suddenly changed to shock, no, to be more precise, they felt fear.
Rhodes Island's secrets were leaked.
The target is not an ordinary operator of Rhodes Island, but a doctor of Rhodes Island.
Rhodes Island wouldn't care if it was just some ordinary internal intelligence. In terms of the policy of differentiating infected people based on their abilities, all Tiger institutions treated them equally and it was nothing new.
Rhodes Island's slogan is to help those infected, but there's another point: Rhodes Island clearly identifies itself as a business, and its corporate culture is "survival of the fittest." If you're not treated well, it's because you're incompetent! Only those who work hard in Rhodes Island can be called Rhodes Islanders, a prestigious honor.
It just so happened that the doctor leaked a bunch of miscellaneous information, including confidential information about the medical department's pharmaceutical production.
The confidential information of the medical department's pharmaceutical production involves Rhodes Island's core secrets. What makes Rhodes Island famous in the medical community of the infected is medicine.
The quality of medicine determines the status of a pharmaceutical company. Rhodes Island's medical level is also ranked in the top three on Terra. If medical technology is exposed in large quantities, what will it mean? Every pharmaceutical company can be a "Rhodes Island"! What's more, the public also has this information, and they can collect materials and create Originium potions themselves.
Of course, the top brass of Rhodes Island panicked. After receiving the report from the scavenger, they immediately sent the remaining SWEEP team to collect the white paper.
Rhodes Island quickly contacted Longmen City Lord Wei Yanwu, hoping that the police chief would cooperate. When Wei Yanwu woke up and saw that the slums were in turmoil because of Rhodes Island, he yelled, "I'm from Hebei Province!" He scolded the messenger first, and then asked Chen, the director of the Longmen Guard Bureau, to handle the matter. He tried his best to claim that what Dr. Rhodes Island wrote was fake. Oh, Longmen had to keep a copy for himself.
It would have been fine if the police chief of Longmen hadn't mentioned the doctor. As soon as he mentioned the doctor, the civilians in the Longmen slums realized that it was the doctor who provided them with the organic fertilizer technology. Could this doctor be the same person as that doctor?
The civilians in Lungmen Slums did not fail to look for the Doctor, but after they witnessed the Doctor's wooden house reduced to ruins, they realized that Rhodes Island was trying to silence them, and that the Lungmen police chief was in cahoots with them!
The disturbance instantly evolved into a riot. The civilians in the Lungmen slums shouted, "Rhodes Island, get out of Lungmen!" and "Rhodes Island is a traitor to the infected!" They marched towards Rhodes Island in a mighty force, vowing to seek justice for the deceased doctor, who was the savior of the infected.
There was a traitor in Rhode Island's medical department! That was certain, but the strange thing was that no matter how SWEEP investigated, he couldn't find out who the traitor was, or how Chu Yun had learned the secret.
