Chapter 1254 Cracks Inside the Fortress

Although the public eye is Norman Osborn's minion, it does not mean that the tens of millions of members of the public eye are all loyal to Norman Osborn and obey.

After all, they were nothing more than Norman Osborn, who captured a group of slaves with money. If anyone of them is loyal to whom. Then it should be said that everyone is just right and life is very loyal.

Because no one wants to die, everyone wants to live, and living in this world costs money. If you want to live well, you need to spend more money. So they join the public eye, at the end of the day, just to make money to live, to support their families, nothing more.

Ambitious people will show extraordinary loyalty to Norman Osborn in order to keep climbing. But in essence, it is just to gain the appreciation of the big boss, promote yourself to get better opportunities, greater rights, and a better life.

It can be said that fundamentally speaking, all this has not changed much. Both the ground floor and the upper floors need to live. This is not going to change at all.

For the high-level, handing over the green light ring is an opportunity to show their loyalty like Norman Osborn, and they are naturally fearless.

But for the lower-level members of the public eye, this is not a good thing. Because energy costs account for half of the average household's spending. Even members of Public Eye have to pay a lot of money for their monthly household energy bills.

Although the green light ring has only appeared in families in the United States for less than half a month. But the benefits are visible to all.

With less energy bills, most families can put more money where they need it, whether it's improving their diet, or investing in their children's education, and so on. These are also items that cost money.

For members of the lower-level public eye, this is also a non-negligible expense. In the final analysis, they joined the public eye to seek a meal. So in the seat of the public eye in Kansas, a riot is brewing inside.

The source of this riot began with a young man named Kai Rui. Kai Rui is a 26-year-old young man. He is a grassroots cadre in the public eye. The position he held was the captain of a twelve-man team. When Kerry was young, he heard from his parents that legal affairs in this world used to be handled by the police.

This makes it hard for Kerry to imagine that the police can do this? Because after Kerry was born, the police department in this world is already a bunch of decorations. In theory, there is law enforcement power, but it is difficult to recruit people, and it lacks the necessary equipment. What the police department can do now is probably to maintain order on the street, which is similar to urban management to some extent.

It's unrealistic to expect them to fight criminals or something. Because the budget is tight every year, the police department has not replaced new equipment for many years, and the police officers also lack the necessary insurance and training. Letting police officers fight dangerous criminals is the same as letting them commit suicide.

So in this world, compared with police officers, the eyes of the public are more important law enforcement members. Although they are Norman's minions, they also maintain the most basic order of this society.

Kerry's family is not particularly good. Because both his mother and father have chronic diseases, seeing a doctor and taking medicine every month is a big expense. Income, but compared to the medical expenses that need to be paid, it is still a bit small.

In addition to Kerry, many other players in his team are also facing similar situations.

Everyone takes their wages, that is, barely eats to eat. Maybe there is a little money left, but not too much.

So when the members of Public Eye received their green light rings at Christmas time, everyone was very happy. Because it saves a lot of energy costs, it is a great help to their families.

But this happiness didn't last long. In less than half a month, news came from above, asking everyone to hand in all the green light rings they received.

"Why did we hand in this thing!" A strong man named John in Kerry's team was very angry.

"These things belong to me, and they belong to me when they arrive at my house. Why should they be taken away! It's not right!"

John's anger was not without reason. Because he is a single father and needs to raise a pair of twin daughters. There is also an old mother who needs to be raised by him.

The pressure of family expenses is all on him. Moreover, the energy consumption of his family is very high, because the mother is old and the child is young. Their physiques are not very good, so they must be heated in winter, and they must also turn on the air conditioner in summer.

There are also various equipment for babysitting and for mothers to do housework, which requires a lot of energy expenditure. I can't let the old mother in her 60s still wash clothes by hand.

After paying all kinds of expenses, the little money John earned was basically nothing left. Even the money that he and his friends go out for a drink together for a month may not be able to afford it.

After receiving the green light ring, John was very happy, because it saved him a lot of money in just half a month.

With the saved energy expenses, I can buy two beautiful new clothes for my daughters and some beef for my mother. When I saw my daughter put on beautiful clothes and ran around the house excitedly like a butterfly, when my mother finally ate the beef she ate when she was young, and she would never forget it when she was old. Looking at the happy expressions of his family, John felt that everything was worth it. This is an obligation and responsibility that a father and a son should fulfill.

So after hearing the news that the green light ring was going to be recycled, John was very resistant and angry.

Because it touched his real interests. When he was performing tasks in the team, he complained to his teammates like this, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Kerry, on the other hand, made a silent gesture to John. Kerry said, "I know you're upset, and I'm actually not too happy."

In fact, the team members are also very clear about Kerry's family conditions. Although Kerry's salary is higher than theirs, his expenses are even higher. Already 26 years old, I can't even find a girlfriend.

"But there is no way. Our job is like this. If we want to continue to work like this and continue to get our salary, we have to listen to the above. So let's hand over the ring obediently." Kerry also Very helpless.

In Kerry's team of 12, everyone is relatively close to each other. They are all friends, it can even be said that they are like family. So these words can be said to each other. And everyone will complain about their helplessness.

Except for Kerry and John, the other ten players actually also received the green light ring. Everyone benefits from it. So you want everyone to give up? This is a little difficult.

Although the above asked everyone to hand in all the rings.

But in Kerry's team, all the players were silent, and no one offered to hand in the green light ring he got.

"Okay, guys. I know everyone is reluctant, but this is work, and we have to hand it in." Kerry once again shouted to his players.

At this time, a black guy in the team suddenly said: "Why do we have to hand in? Not all Americans have received green light rings. Can't all 12 of us have not received green light rings!"

What the black brother said made all the other team members turn their heads to look at him. Kerry curled his lips and said noncommittally, "You mean to let us all collude together?"

"No, it's not collusion. We're just trying to protect our basic rights. We all have to eat and live, and we're not high-level people who expect to be able to hand in the ring to win the favor of the big boss and get promoted. We're just working , just to make money for food." The black boy spoke in a very rhythmic manner, inexplicably resembling rap.

But what he said was also very reasonable. All the players looked at Kerry, waiting for him to make a decision.

Is it the collusion of all members, or must it be handed over?
