Time flies and it is almost February, the beginning of spring, but the weather is getting colder. The grain of the order has been harvested. As for meat, there are more than a dozen farms in the large order, five of which are for Zerg breeding, and the others are some captive animals.
The older batch of insects and beasts have completed their reproduction mission. Two years later, when humans no longer need to devour insects, they will no longer have to worry about how many humans the other party has just devoured not long ago, because these insects and beasts have been replaced for countless generations. Nowadays, they live on special feed, and because of long-term confinement, even their combat effectiveness has begun to become weak. Thanks to the efforts of the research department, those captive creatures have even begun to degenerate.
Both its speed and strength have been weakened to varying degrees. Even if released into the wild, it will become food for its own kind rather than a terrifying predator.
Warm houses and sufficient food mean that even though the cold wave has arrived, the residents of Order can still live a very comfortable life. At the same time, when other forces are struggling for a bite of food and choose to huddle in the corner of the bed to reduce energy loss, the residents of Order can even eat some meat occasionally. The sufficient energy gives them more spirit, so that most factories have not been closed, and many people go back and forth between work and family every day.
Originally, this should have been a warm winter, but a piece of news not long ago cast an indelible shadow over the hearts of some people.
The Towering Island has fallen, and the top leaders have revealed the latest investigation results. Thousands of remaining soldiers have all died, and the culprit that caused all this to the order is the Silver City that just borders it.
This news caused an uproar in the Order, and the Order finally calmed down. However, the actions of Silver City undoubtedly made many Order residents angry.
Many people began to vent their anger like the residents of Baiyin City who had just entered the city not long ago. In just two days, many incidents of violence had occurred. After learning of all this, the Inspection Department arrested and sentenced nearly a hundred people to prevent the situation from further deteriorating.
There has never been such a large-scale violent incident in the order. Xu Hongzhuang paid great attention to it. She knew that if something went wrong, it would ignite the hostility in the hearts of the residents and even the laws of the order would be affected to a certain extent.
The order at this time is not that of a few thousand or tens of thousands of people, but a giant city composed of millions of people and multi-element population. If a single spark can start a prairie fire, then the current order is like a boiling magma. Originally blocked by volcanoes, these magmas would only gather together, glow and heat. Once there is a problem with the surrounding stone walls, then when these volcanoes flow out, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The time has come to test Xu Hongzhuang. For the first time since taking office, Xu Hongzhuang feels the troubles of being a leader.
… … … … …
In the empty room, Xu Hongzhuang stood at the window and looked at everything on the street. She learned this habit from Chen Feng. Gazing at the city built in the wasteland always calmed her mood.
"Dongdong..."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Wei walked in. At this time, Lu Wei's face was full of solemnity. He was no longer the young boy he used to be. Instead, he had become the current leader of the Anbu step by step through killing.
"The situation on the street has been completely brought under control. Some people took advantage of the public's anger to carry out looting, resulting in one death and dozens of injuries. Some Silver City residents were intentionally alienated, and some even threatened that the other party was an enemy and should be criticized. People were like crazy, and a young girl was violated..."
“Crack!”
When Xu Hongzhuang heard the last sentence, the windowsill that her palm touched broke directly. This marble windowsill was difficult to break even with an ordinary hammer, but now, it was broken by Xu Hongzhuang's palm. It can be seen that Xu Hongzhuang's strength has reached such a terrifying level!
Things are worse than expected.
Among them, "smashing, smashing and burning" can be attributed to one nature. But "robbing" must be attributed to another nature. Maybe in the incident, the wealth of the residents of Silver City was robbed, or maybe delicious food was robbed. In this incident, the thugs gained benefits after the surface of revenge. In other words, this is a reasonable robbery without legal responsibility. There is a serious robbery mentality.
This problem must be curbed, otherwise the situation will change and develop in unimaginable directions.
"Follow the laws of order. Those residents who participated in the violence will be judged by order!" Xu Hongzhuang said in a cold voice with a gloomy face.
"But..." Lu Wei seemed to be hesitant to speak, and then he said, "But what those people did was understandable. On the other hand, those who participated in the atrocities were all victims. Their relatives died on the Towering Island!"
This is a revenge, but also a vent!
Thousands of people died. The residents of Order had escaped insect plagues and cold waves and finally had a warm home. But now, their loved ones were killed in a sneak attack by Silver City. So one can imagine how angry these people were.
This was ultimately the negative impact caused by that blood feud, which also included some of Lu Wei's life-and-death friends. They had supported each other to get to where they are today, and among them were many gifted masters. However, under the conspiracy of the Silver City, they were all executed, and not even a single one was left alive.
Even so, Lu Wei's heart was filled with anger, and he wished he could break into Silver City and kill everyone right now, not to mention that his loved ones would be killed. That kind of pain was simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"I understand." Xu Hongzhuang's voice was a little gentle, but the next second, it turned into a cold voice: "But the law of order cannot be tarnished. No one should trample on the law of order because of pain, including ordinary people, including... you and me!"
"I understand their pain, but the law is the law, and they shouldn't vent their anger on ordinary people. The principle of life for life is simple. Those who make mistakes should follow the laws of order. No one should bend the law for personal gain. Those who violate the law will be punished according to the same crime!"
When she said the last sentence, a golden light was reflected from Xu Hongzhuang's body. The light was so dazzling that even Lu Wei found it extremely blinding and it seemed impossible to look directly at it.
"I understand..." Lu Wei sighed and walked out of the room.
On the other hand, after Xu Hongzhuang saw Lu Wei leave, her beautiful eyes looked out the window. At this time, her eyes were empty, and there was no coldness on her face. Instead, she sighed softly with the weakness unique to a little girl: "Did I... really do something wrong?"
