Rhode Island Park Project

I have to say that compared to the re-education of Lolo, Luo Hang's treatment of Vina is undoubtedly much gentler.

However, some people present were obviously not interested in appreciating this heartwarming scene between the teacher and the good student.

"Is this your answer?"

The self-rescue soldiers around them were cheering, and Norton stared at the happy group violently, "Do you really think that the news I prepared for the Sarkaz was just a cover?"

"Clang clang! Now it's my turn as the Director of Rhodes Island's Engineering and Information Security Department!"

At this moment, Miss Lucille jumped out triumphantly, "You're sending this message in front of me. Don't you think I'm serious?"

"Communications interference? Don't try to fool me. We're using a dedicated communicator. Besides, how come my communication just now wasn't affected?"

Norton sneered.

"Oh! How dare you look down on me!"

The minister was immediately furious.

She gestured to Norton, who had a dagger against his neck, and an inconspicuous small drone immediately flew to Norton's side.

"Would you like to try using your communicator again now?"

"..."

Norton just glanced silently at the flashing signal light on the communicator and understood the answer.

however,

“Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha—”

"Uh, what's wrong with this guy?"

Looking at Norton who suddenly burst into laughter, Lucille panicked. "Could this guy have gone crazy because he couldn't bear the shock?"

"I admit that your technology is indeed quite advanced and can actually disrupt our communications, but do you really think that we are your only enemies?"

Norton grinned again, as if he had returned to his superior look when he was in control of the overall situation.

"Don't move!"

Another trembling voice came at this time.

Everyone's attention shifted to a slightly overweight man in a worker's uniform, standing in a deserted place with a communicator in his hand and a nervous look on his face.

"The communicator in my hand can also send out signals. Don't let me see any drones approaching!!"

"Tommy?!"

Fester, who had just returned from a rescue mission, looked at his friend standing apart from everyone else in astonishment, unable to believe it for a moment.

Chapter 6 You comfort your male friends, I comfort your female friends (

"What are you doing, Tommy?!"

Fester squeezed out of the crowd and stumbled a little awkwardly because he was in too much haste, but he didn't care about all that when he finally met his friend face to face.

"Tommy, you—"

"do not come!!"

Seeing that Fester was still trying to walk forward as usual, Tommy, who was already tense, suddenly burst into hysterical shouting, holding the communication in front of everyone as if it was the only life-saving straw in his hand.

"If you come any closer, I'll turn on the communicator! I know you're smart, Fester, so don't push me! Parker and the others are already near the city defense forces. As long as any sound is transmitted through the communicator, they will go straight to the city defense forces!"

"Tommy..."

Looking at his friend whose eyes were bloodshot and whose fingers were white from gripping the communicator so tightly that he could hardly recognize him, Fester's expression gradually became very sad.

He couldn't understand.

"Why, Tommy! We've already escaped from the Sarkaz and will soon escape from Londinium, so why are you helping them? And you're using the Sarkaz as a threat... Have you forgotten what the Sarkaz have done to us?"

"I……"

A trace of guilt flashed across Tommy's face, but it was only a fleeting look that was quickly washed away by tension and sweat.

"He's just scared."

Another voice sounded.

"grandmother?"

Fester looked at the old man who followed out from the crowd.

The old man, with white hair but a body as straight as a pine tree, only took a glance at Tommy, whose eyes kept flashing, and he understood the origin of the farce before him.

"Not everyone has the courage like you, Fester, to escape from the factory and face danger and enemies.

"The Sarkaz have ravaged this city, but look at how many people are here to defend themselves? How many people can still hold on to hope and continue to endure as long as it's not their turn?"

Cowardly, selfish, self-centered—

This is the first reaction of most people when faced with a disaster.

The courage to stand up and resist is always possessed by only a few people, and when faced with the fear of disaster and the guilt of stabbing a hero in the back, the latter is often easier to accept.

“That’s why an organization needs to have the same deterrent effect in addition to having convincing virtues.”

Luo Hang never missed an opportunity to lecture Vina beside him, "Treat your friends as warmly as spring, and treat your enemies as harshly as winter. You need to make those who are watching you understand that if they choose to become your enemy, they will face a fear more terrifying than any disaster."

Looking at Vina who nodded obediently, Luo Hang's eyes suddenly glanced to the side.

"Same goes for you two."

Amiya, who was pretending to pay attention to the situation, and Clovisia, who had just arrived, nodded their heads in unison and smiled wryly at each other.

Compared to Vina, these two kind-hearted girls are truly intimidating. They are good kids who can let the traitor go and deliver some supplies to others.

But it is precisely because of this that these two good kids, when put in public, are the leaders who can best rally the people’s hearts.

As for the harsh side, it would be better to let the dark adults take charge.

He preached to the two little girls only to prevent them from really developing their kindness without limits.

"Doctor, wouldn't it be appropriate for us to focus on the situation at hand?"

Aleda couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw Luo Hang still having the time to attend class.

"What's there to pay attention to?"

Luo Hang snorted coldly, "Hang that outstanding subordinate of the Grand Duke to the rooftop. Everyone else, get ready. It's time to evacuate."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Hang who spoke.

"Uh, what about them?"

Aledae subtly signaled with her eyes to Tommy who was still holding the communicator.

They are still threatening us, shouldn't we give some response?

"Since Vina is now in the Self-Defense Army, and someone wants to be a traitor to the Self-Defense Army,"

Luo Hang tilted his head, "Then he should be charged with treason, right?"

Tommy on the opposite side was a little dazed, and so was Aledea.

This is really cruel.

Since they have to be loyal to the future King, betraying the Self-Defense Army is indeed equivalent to betraying Victoria.

It's just Victoria's treason...

Aledai looked at Vina helplessly, and then said to Luo Hang:

"Hanging is not a pretty sight."

In fact, it was because the previous king, Vina’s father, was hanged.

Luo Hang also understood immediately and shrugged.

"Then let's switch to the guillotine."

"This is okay..."

Seeing the two of them discussing something horrifying without caring about him at all, Tommy, who was already nervous, was almost on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"You can't touch me!! My communicator can notify others right now!!"

Tommy directly pressed the switch of the communicator, and the indicator light of the electronic device immediately turned from red to green.

“Tommy!!”

Fester shouted loudly, but Tommy, whose expression was close to collapse, only stared at Luo Hang and Aledai, who were in charge, and hurriedly shouted into the communicator in his hand, "They are going to attack me, you must be ready to go to the city defense forces at any time!!"

"What's going on over there?!"

Other people's voices came from the other end of the communicator.

Without replying, the moment he heard his companion's voice, Tommy, sweating profusely, revealed a look of relief and joy. Then, as if he had gained more confidence, he stared at Aledai and Luo Hang and continued to speak through the communicator:

"I'm just trying to prove to them that we can really do it. Don't go over there yet."

"Don't be afraid of them! The city defense army's base gate is right in front of us. They can't do anything to you!"

"Where's Mr. Norton? We, we have the Grand Duke's promise! No matter how powerful the Self-Defense Army is, we can't go against the Grand Duke!!"

"..."

There was a noisy sound coming from the communicator in Tommy's hand, but Luo Hang didn't want to waste any more time on this farce.

"We'll be leaving in ten minutes. Before that, please finish all the work that's scheduled."

Luo Hang immediately shifted his gaze away from Tommy, said something to Aledae beside him, and then turned around and left very decisively.

"Uh, okay."

In fact, Aleda was not quite clear about Luo Hang's judgment, but after meeting him so far, she no longer expected their future king to make the decision. After all, Vina, a good student, also listened to her teacher.

She looked at Fester, who had a complicated expression.

"You can choose to step back for a while."

"No, I, let me try to persuade them one more time, okay? Please!"

"I don't think he will listen to your advice now..."

Aleda glanced at Tommy, who was filled with disbelief. Faced with a situation that hadn't gone as planned, the somewhat overweight young worker's face and trembling legs showed signs of panic.

"Fester,"

Luo Luo also came over and glanced at Tommy with an indignant look on his face. "He and his companions are going to drag us and all the people in the Self-Defense Army into danger. Even so, you still want to help him?!"

She didn't care what these people were planning or why they did such a thing.

Tommy is Fester's friend, so does that mean she has no friends in the Vigilantes?

Old Bill endured the severe torture of the Sarkaz and did not reveal any information. He finally came back with other comrades who had been through life and death with them.

She knew only too well what would happen to them if they fell into the hands of the Sarkaz.

Because if something like that really happened to some of these people, she would definitely use her teeth and nails to rip open that bastard's fat throat.

"I……"

Fester looked at Lolo who was glaring at him, his face full of bitterness and his throat was unusually dry.

She understood that what was in Lolo's eyes was real anger, not some harmless conflicts and quarrels with him.

Luo Luo saw everything that Old Bill had been through from the time he was captured to the time he finally came back. Old Bill was like an elder to him, and he had friends in the Self-Rescue Army, but...

"I can't just leave it alone, Luo Luo, I really..."

Fester didn't get to finish his words.

There was clear disappointment in Luo Luo's eyes, which made his throat seem to be blocked.

"Then just keep minding your own business!"

Lolo just ran away.

Aledae's eyes swept over the girl who passed by her, and she clearly noticed Lolo's bitten lips and clenched fists, and she also shook her head.

Another sad girl.
