Chapter 027 Purpose
Hearing Li Maoran's words, Meng Shisan smiled.
After a long pause, he finally asked, "What makes you think I would cooperate with you?"
Liu Jiaming and his ilk truly deserve to die!
In my opinion, even being torn to pieces wouldn't be too much, but what kind of good person are you?
What I hate most is someone like you who clearly knows everything, even participated in the whole process, yet can stand comfortably on the moral high ground to criticize others.
What gives you the right?
Do you really think you've been enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens all these years?
What are you pretending for?
I will not let Liu Jiaming go, but I will not let you go either!
Moreover, we take revenge on our own; we don't need to cooperate with others.
Especially you, who's also on our revenge list.
Upon hearing this, the base commander laughed heartily: "Li Maoran, you didn't expect this, did you?"
You actually think you can control him?
Have you forgotten what he did to avoid being manipulated?
Li Maoran's face was extremely ugly. In his opinion, Meng Shisan had no reason to refuse, nor dared to refuse.
After all, how could Cao Er and Yang Jiu possibly agree after learning the truth?
This is his core foundation.
As a result, Meng Shisan refused decisively, even directly targeting him.
He looked at Yang Jiu and the others again, but when Yang Jiu saw him looking over, he spat and said, "Look at your father! Meng Shisan is right, you're no better than him!"
Lao Tzu doesn't know anything about choosing the lesser of two evils; he only knows that all evildoers deserve to die!
Although he was impulsive, he wasn't stupid. After Meng Shisan said that, he understood perfectly well that Li Maoran wanted to use them as pawns.
At this moment, he was no longer in a hurry.
He found a place to sit down, cleaning up the bloodstains all over his face and head, and said in a cheeky tone, "Everyone calm down for a bit, find a good spot to crouch down, this dog-eat-dog show doesn't happen often."
Upon hearing his words, many people burst into laughter.
That's right. These people are all high-ranking members of the base. In the end, their actions are just a power struggle. What does it have to do with us nobody?
Wouldn't it be better to watch a play?
In an instant, many of the people who had just been surrounding the base commander and his men retreated.
"Fight! Fight them to death! We've already cleared the area for you. If you hold back, I'll look down on you."
Some people are adding fuel to the fire.
"Alright, after we deal with these traitors, we'll lay down our guns and fight you fair and square!" The Minister of Armed Forces was also full of heroic spirit at this moment.
He disliked this group of people, but conversely, he loathed the traitors on the other side even more.
"Meng Shisan, I overestimated you." Li Maoran shook his head. "At first, I thought you were a smart person who knew how to make choices, but I didn't expect you to be just a vulgar person full of hatred."
"Fine, I'll deal with them first, then I'll deal with you."
After saying that, the firefight that had just stopped resumed.
Da da da.
chug chu...
In an instant, wails and cries filled the entire square.
Although many people found cover and hid.
But the square was only so big. Although many people had escaped back to the bunker, more than 100,000 people were still blocking the entrance. Even stray bullets could take many lives.
At this moment, everyone realized that neither Liu Jiaming nor Li Maoran actually cared about their lives.
Some people looked at the instigator on the platform, but well, he didn't care.
"Let Xie Linbo take action, but for now, only target Li Maoran's side," Meng Shisan suddenly said.
Hearing this, Yan Zhiyu was slightly taken aback: "You want to help the base commander?"
"Look at what you're saying," Meng Shisan said. "If Li Maoran takes control of the bunker, what about Yang Jiu and the others' children? Are you going to save them?"
Even if we trap them in the bunker, the bunker can't have only one voice.
Yan Zhiyu was clearly being swayed by her emotions at this moment.
However, Xie Linyuan was calmer than her and immediately notified Xie Linbo.
Xie Linbo, who had been prepared, was excited when he received the news, but when he heard that it could only be targeted at Li Maoran, a look of disappointment involuntarily appeared on his face.
"Damn it, whatever, I'll fry one while I can."
Rumble...
After saying that, Li Maoran, who was still arguing with the base commander and his group, was suddenly blown away by the shockwave from the violent explosion.
His men were also affected to varying degrees, with a few unlucky ones even being killed on the spot.
Even the base commander's side suffered heavy casualties.
"Meng Shisan!" Li Maoran shouted angrily as he crawled out of the blood.
He didn't even need to think that the only person who would resort to such a treacherous tactic as blowing up the bunker entrance at this critical juncture was the once harmless Meng Shisan.
The base commander, who was also affected, was overjoyed at the sight: "Great opportunity! Charge in!"
"I told you, all of you deserve to die!" Meng Shisan glanced at Li Maoran, then picked up the microphone and looked at the crowd at the other entrances, saying, "And you too, I can tell you responsibly that I have planted bombs at all the entrances."
Now, everyone, stand still and don't move.
I will let you in, but once you are inside, I will blow up the entrance immediately.
Think it through yourself: do you want to spend your whole lives holed up in a dark bunker, working like slaves, or do you want to stay and fight for your life in this son of a bitch?
Meng Shisan had no particular feelings of liking or disliking towards these people. He had said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done. The rest was up to them to make their own choices.
These people also saw the explosion over there, and upon hearing Meng Shisan's words, countless people immediately began to move away from the entrance.
They were all on the verge of a breakdown.
Some people even broke down in tears.
"Why, why did this happen?"
Unfortunately, no one could give them the answer.
In despair, some people wanted to confront Meng Shisan, but when they saw the more than twenty black gun barrels beside him, they immediately calmed down.
Despite having only twenty-odd guns, it suppressed at least tens of thousands of people, who dared not speak out against its anger.
"The base commander and the others have stormed in, and Li Maoran can't hold them off," Yan Zhiyu, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, immediately reported.
Seeing this, Meng Shisan smiled knowingly and immediately shouted to Li Maoran and the base commander, "I want to see those children within half an hour. If even one is missing, I'll blow up the entire bunker!"
"Yes, we want to see our own children!" Hearing him say this, the group of pioneers who were about to rush forward immediately calmed down.
They wanted to see their children, whom they had never met before.
As for revenge, that can wait until now.
"Okay." The base commander replied without hesitation.
Li Maoran, who had already led his men back to the bunker, said unwillingly, "Meng Shisan, you will regret this!"
He regretted giving up the opportunity to kill Liu Jiaming today for the sake of a group of abandoned children!
You have no idea what he's plotting!
By this point, he knew perfectly well that the so-called child was nothing more than a means for Meng Shisan to appease the pioneers.
If we were to say who harbored the most resentment in the entire square, it would undoubtedly be Yang Jiu and his group.
Not only were they placed under house arrest by the base, but even their own children became victims of the base. The resentment they felt was something that ordinary people in the Department of Energy could not match.
Their resentment is at most the despair of seeing no hope and the helplessness of being exploited.
Compared to Yang Jiu and the others, they all felt they were lucky.
"That's why I say you people will never amount to anything," Meng Shisan shook his head and said. "With what you've done, you don't even qualify as basic human beings."
After saying that, he ignored him and looked at the base commander. "Hurry up, we only have half an hour. If we lose even one child, I will blow up the whole bunker."
Don't think I'm trying to scare you. A way out is something only people like you need.
The path I've chosen has no turning back; it's either live standing or die standing.
"Yes, hand over the child, and we'll let you off the hook today."
At this moment, Yang Jiu also calmed down.
"Give me the children, I just want my children."
Countless pioneers began to clamor.
My child is more important than anything else...
