Chapter 151 Acting Speaker

【October 3, 20:25】

[12th Floor, Moonlight Building, Lakeside Business District, Xinghai Cinema]

315 teachers and students of Chiyang Primary School occupied a screening room, and the latest fantasy movie was playing on the big screen.

Now that the movie is halfway through, it is the climax of the plot.

These children all have a good family education. Even if they are excited, they are very quiet and do not make a sound. Everyone opens their childlike eyes and looks longingly at the knight on the screen.

Just as the children were immersed in the dream world in the movie, there was a sudden "buzz" from the speakers, the screen fell into darkness, and the emergency exit lights came on, as if there was a power outage.

The children were confused and uneasy, and whispers broke out.

The accompanying teacher stood up in time: "Students, please stay seated and don't run around. The teacher is going out to look for you."

Before the teacher could finish speaking, theater staff suddenly rushed in, their voices distorted with fear: "Run! Run! Something is wrong."

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit a bloody flower on the head of the staff member.

"Ah——" Suddenly, screams were heard everywhere.

The children were at a loss and hugged their classmates around them. Some were frightened and some just cried:

"That uncle was beaten to death?"

"Are there bad people outside? What should we do?"

"Oh, I'm so scared. Where are you, mom and dad?"

The children were frightened and cried, and several teachers accompanying them were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they were so trembling that they could not even say words of comfort. There was also a female teacher who was so frightened by the corpse that she vomited.

"Ta, tap, tap" dense footsteps sounded, echoing in the closed theater.

More than 20 Crow's Nest thugs headed by Muto Toei walked in. Everyone was covered in blood. They must have fought their way from the square to the 12th floor.

A bold male teacher trembled all over and asked tentatively: "Who are you? What do you want to do? There are children here, you guys, don't mess around!"

Muto Toei smiled and waved to his companions.

The Crow's Nest thugs quickly took control of the emergency exits of Xinghai Cinema and occupied the steps and aisles, putting these teachers and students completely under their control.

Muto Toei then looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "My lord, Muto Toei, I have heard your parents' names for a long time. I have no other intention today. I just want to ask you to stay with me for a while."

"Accompany me?" the male teacher asked tremblingly, "How long do you want to accompany me?"

Muto Toei said slowly: "It depends on the attitude of the authorities. If it is quick, maybe one night will be enough. If it is slow, you will have to stay with me all the time."

The male teacher heard that he wanted to use them as hostages to negotiate with the Crescent City authorities.

He swallowed, mustered up the courage and said with a trembling voice: "If you want hostages, just capture us teachers! The children are innocent, let them go home, okay?"

The Crow's Nest thugs laughed loudly, and Muto Toei also laughed, as if he was laughing at the male teacher's ignorance.

Muto Toei walked over and kicked the male teacher over, and said sarcastically: "You take yourself too seriously, Kunoyaru. Who do you think you are? You are not even qualified to be a hostage!"

After he finished speaking, he shot the male teacher in the leg.

"Ugh!!!" screams rang out, and the male teacher covered his bloody thigh, crying and struggling in the pool of blood.

Muto Toei faced those frightened eyes and sneered: "Remember, whoever wants to be a hero will end up like this."

At this time, Muto Toei found a female teacher curled up in her seat, making some furtive movements.

He walked over and found that the female teacher was secretly taking her mobile phone to report the crime. The call had already been broadcast.

The female teacher looked at Muto Toei in horror and burst into tears: "I won't report the crime, please let me go."

Muto Toei was not angry, but instead smiled: "It doesn't matter, just report the crime and tell the Public Security Bureau about the situation."

The female teacher was stunned, not understanding what this meant.

Muto Toei grabbed her hair and said word by word: "I said, report the crime and tell the Public Security Bureau about the situation."

The female teacher could only pick up her mobile phone, and after answering the call, she said tremblingly: "The Public Security Bureau? We are teachers and students of Chiyang Affiliated Primary School. We were watching a movie at the Xinghai Cinema in Yueguang Building, and some gangsters broke in. They, they"

Only then did the female teacher realize that she still didn’t know the other party’s identity.

Muto Toei raised the corner of his mouth and said profoundly: "Tell the Public Security Bureau who took the hostages of Xinghai Cinema."

"The Crow's Nest Seven, Toei Muto."

[Crescent City Municipal Center, Municipal Building Main Conference Room]

"Schenkov", the ruling member of the Crescent City Council and acting city speaker, is very depressed today.

Just yesterday, the real city speaker "Amir" left for the capital to report on quarterly work, and it would take about two weeks to come back.

Today is the first day of Schenkov's duties as acting mayor. He thought that the two weeks would pass smoothly, but he did not expect that the Rusty Wall would fall.

The main conference room was full of people, all of whom were chief executives of various municipal departments. The holographic map of Crescent City was suspended on the conference table in front of them. It was obvious that the Rusty Wall District in the west of the city was full of red dots.

Administrative assistants are constantly coming and going, bringing the latest intelligence fed back from the front lines.

"According to the latest news, the Rusty Wall District Public Security Bureau has been confirmed to have fallen. 197 police officers have lost contact. The remaining personnel have also been scattered by the mob and trapped in various neighborhoods. It is not sure how long they can hold on."

"Mark Street has just been lost and the entire street has been occupied by rioters. The security forces are redeploying a second line of defense and requesting fire reinforcements."

"The condition of the Rusty Wall is very bad. Thugs are still pouring in. It is difficult for the garrison to regain control of the middle section of the M17 area and block the gaps in the wall."

"Our informants placed within border groups reported that major groups are gathering elites on a large scale and may launch an attack on the inner city at any time."

Bad news came one after another, each one like an awl digging into Schenkov's head.

He knew that this disaster could not be avoided.

As the acting city speaker, he has no retreat. He must resolve this crisis as much as possible and minimize the losses.

He took a deep breath, glanced sternly, and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the border thugs ignored order and launched an attack on the inner city. This is an intolerable atrocity!"

"We don't need to be polite anymore! I want all the armed forces in Crescent City to take action!"

"The Patrol Force of the Public Security Bureau, the Fourth Anti-Violence Section, the Citizen Guard, the Municipal Guard, and the City Defense Reserve Force asked those passionate young men to grab their guns and go to the Rusty Wall District to participate in the suppression operations."

Schenkov used gestures to control the holographic map and kept leaving notes on it: "Let ground troops establish a defense line around the Rusty Wall area and guard every tunnel, elevated road, and street entrance to other urban areas."

"If you encounter thugs, you don't need to ask your superiors for instructions, just fire freely!"

"The air and sky assault troops were dispatched at the same time. Do not intervene in the street fighting of the ground troops. I want them to rush to the middle section of the M17 area of ​​​​Rusty Wall immediately and completely occupy the air supremacy there."

"Any thugs who attempt to enter the inner city through the gap in the wall will be bombarded by air and air assault forces with all weapons. If necessary, they are allowed to go deep into the border areas to directly attack the thugs' base areas and force them to retreat."

A staff member asked: "Mr. Acting Speaker, do you want the whole city to enter a state of emergency?"

Schenkov shook his head without hesitation: "No, not only no, the electronic countermeasures force must take action immediately and coordinate with the ground combat team to deploy "giant wave electromagnetic interference devices" along the Rust Wall area to block all civilian communications in the Rust Wall area. . "

Upon hearing that the Rusty Wall District was going to be "disconnected from the Internet", the staff was shocked: "You want to block the news of thugs attacking the city? This way, citizens in other urban areas will not know the truth and will be defenseless. Once they encounter thugs, it will be very dangerous!"

Schenkov said solemnly: "Have some confidence in our young men on the ground. I believe they will not let any thugs cross the Rusty Wall area."

The staff member's face was still ugly: "This is too risky! I strongly recommend that the news be made public and the city enter a state of emergency, so that all citizens should immediately stop outdoor activities and return home. This is to be responsible for their safety!"

"Bang!"

Schenkov slammed the table hard and said angrily: "The investment market will open at 9:30 tomorrow morning. If you want to see the stock prices of all companies in Crescent City drop to the limit, just do it! When Mr. City Speaker comes back, you go to him Make a report!”

The staff was awakened by Schenkov and immediately realized the huge disadvantages of the city entering a state of emergency.

There are 673 listed companies in Crescent City, and there are at least hundreds of large interest groups behind them. If a ban destroys their stock prices, no one can afford the consequences.

The staff hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly: "But, it has been more than an hour since the incident occurred, and there are already texts and videos being circulated on the Internet. Can we make it in time?"

Schenkov: "So in addition to blocking the news, we must also control the media content immediately. Contact the Internet surveillance agents to delete all relevant videos and texts from the entire network, monitor relevant topics 24 hours a day, and suppress the popularity."

The staff said anxiously: "Mr. Acting Speaker, such terrible news cannot be suppressed!"

Schenkov exploded: "Oh God! Are all your staff pigs?! If you can't suppress it, then find other hot topics to cover it up!"

"The heroine Thalia of "The Best of You" cheated on an amateur after marriage!"

"A-list actor Lin Huo has been suffering from alcoholism and domestic violence for a long time!"

"And who is that, the female star who appeared on "New Moon Star Night" last year, the goddess Pan Wan who became popular because of her pure temperament!"

"Didn't the photos of Pan Wan partying with several men get picked up by hackers and promptly bought by the agency? Repost it online!"

"We have so much material in our hands. If we throw any one out, it can become a hot spot. Those netizens will surround us like flies. Who cares about the crap in the Rusty Wall District?!"

"I really don't understand, you actually want me to teach you such a simple thing? Do it immediately! If you can't do it well, pack up your work station and get out tomorrow!"

The staff was speechless and did not dare to argue with Schenkov anymore, so they left with their heads down.

Schenkov muttered a few curses, looked at the holographic map, and said coldly: "All orders are passed on immediately, and all ministries begin the operation to retake the Rusty Wall area. This riot must be suppressed as soon as possible!"
