Chapter 154 Border Independence

After the Julang electromagnetic interference device was removed and the communication signal was restored, the situation in the Rusty Wall District was no longer a matter of paper.

Relevant news spread wildly in major media. Reporters and marketing accounts mobilized to detonate hot topics in a very short period of time. Crescent City-related hot searches occupied almost all sections.

Local topics on social networking sites, major forum sections, and local group chats in Crescent City have attracted countless netizens, and hundreds or even thousands of discussions can be generated every second:

[Internet speed test, why can’t I send my message? 】

[Shit, can you access the Internet? 】

[Scared to death, scared to death (crying loudly)) There are many people with guns downstairs in my house, they won’t rush into my house! 】

[Can anyone tell me what happened (question)]

[It seems like something big happened in the Rusty Wall District! There were troops fighting, and I could hear gunshots from here in the Hi-tech Park! 】

[Hot search says the rust wall collapsed and thugs rushed into the city? seriously? ! 】

[It’s fake, how could that Rusty Wall thing collapse? It’s probably some marketing account spreading rumors]

[People who live in the Rusty Wall District came out to say that the hot search is true! The streets are full of thugs! The authorities blocked the signal and blocked the news. Just now I couldn’t get online! nausea! ! ! (Vomit)】

[Brothers who live in Rusty Wall District, are you okay? Call the Sheriff’s Department quickly! 】

[People who live across from the station said that the Rusty Wall District Station had been blown up and all the sheriffs had fled. I really laughed to death, this is our Crescent City Guardian (呲ya)]

[What about Counter-Violence Lesson Four? Isn't it awe-inspiring to shoot randomly? Are these grandsons acting like cowards now? ! 】

【Help! ! ! My parents, Li Genlian and Wang Gangyong, are from Crescent City. They live in Room 602, Building 12, Qinxie Homes, Yunhai Road, Xiqiang District. They suddenly lost contact half an hour ago! I'm out of town and can't get back in time! The old man is in poor health and has heart disease. Please help people nearby to check it out! Please! ! ! 】

[The brother who asked for help earlier, I'm nearby and I'm going to help you take a look. Don't panic! 】

【Everyone, please pay attention to your surroundings! In extraordinary times, we help each other! It will be fine! 】

There were all kinds of discussions, some local people asking for help, some people not knowing the truth, and some people in other cities taking advantage of it. Tonight, Crescent City has become the focus of the world.

Just as various discussions were flooding the screen, the appearance of Toei Muto brought the riot to its peak.

At this time, various media homepages were broadcasting live broadcasts. Muto Toei was sitting in a samurai posture, and the pressure of oppression arose spontaneously. He announced to everyone through the camera:

"My compatriots on the border, I know you have been longing for this day for too long."

"Fifty years ago, the Crescent City enacted the Border Isolation Act. Since the establishment of the Rust Wall, the frontier has been abandoned. Inner city residents enjoy the prosperity of the city, but we can only survive in the sludge."

"Today, Fenrir broke through the rust wall and allowed everyone to return to the inner city. This is an exciting move. Crow's Nest expresses its sincere admiration for Wolf Raid!"

"But, does this make sense?"

"In the eyes of the authorities, we are rats in the gutter, and there is no psychological burden in killing border people. When we returned to the inner city, they immediately deployed all their violent machines to kill us."

"Our compatriots are bleeding like rivers in the inner city. They can do nothing but throw away their bodies. The final outcome can only be to be driven back to the border again and let history happen again. This is meaningless."

At this point in the speech, the barrage on the live broadcast website is being refreshed at a high frequency.

The rust wall physically isolates the border areas from the inner city, but network signals cannot be isolated through the rust wall.

Not only people from the inner city have access to the Internet, but also people from the frontiers. At this time, the live broadcast barrage has become the home field of the people from the frontiers.

[Indeed, when the wall was broken, I said I couldn’t go in. If I went in, I would only be treated like a dog and killed. Many of my friends have lost contact now]

[Why doesn’t it make sense? Let the inner city pigs know we're not to be trifled with, that's what it's about! 】

[If you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence! Brothers who come to the city, kill a few more pigs to let them know how powerful the border is! 】

[Although, Wolf Raid finally broke through the rust wall and accomplished what no one has done before. What are you doing in the crow's nest? Um? King of the Border? 】

[This devil talks like farting. My evaluation is that it is not as good as a wolf attacking a hair]

[If you want us to continue to recognize Crow's Nest as king, we must show more ability than Boss Fenrir, otherwise don't talk here]

Muto Toei looked at the camera and said profoundly: "The Border Group is one family. Wolf Raid is fighting for the Border, and Crow's Nest is also fighting for you!"

"What you will see next is Crow's Nest's efforts for the border!"

The live broadcast screen was divided into frames, and the children who had become hostages were placed on the screen, and the camera was fixed on the young and fearful faces.

"These people are the descendants of the rich and powerful people in the inner city. They were born with golden keys in their mouths, and they were born with countless wealth - wealth that should belong to you."

"When these people grow up, they will succeed their parents, stand tall, become a member of the oppressors, and bully the border areas wantonly. And their children will become what they are today, and history will repeat itself."

"But now, we control the fate of these people. They are imprisoned in the Xinghai Cinema in the Moonlight Building, surrounded by soldiers from the Crow's Nest. Their fate will depend on the authorities' choices."

"Brothers fighting on the front lines should have noticed that all armed forces in the inner city have fully withdrawn and all fronts have ceased fire. This is the compromise made by the authorities!"

The barrage at this time was filled with question marks, and the sea of ​​symbols lasted for half a minute before text appeared one after another.

【What the hell? Brother Crow's Nest is awesome! 】

[It’s true, I was on the front line and all the government’s thugs ran away hahahaha! 】

[The wolf attacks the tower head-on, but you guys go around and steal the house, right? What fantasy linkage]

[Although, the wrongdoer has the owner, the debtor has the owner. Isn't it bad to hold a child hostage who hasn't grown up yet? 】

[The one in front, Holy Mother, where is your horse? These descendants of rich people are born guilty, Muto-kun kill them! 】

[Sorry, I scolded you for being too loud before. Crow's Nest! Our king! 】

Muto Toei's eyes were blazing, and his voice was full of oppression: "Now, the negotiations between the Crow's Nest and the authorities have officially begun."

"I guarantee on the reputation of the entire Crow's Nest that as long as the council meets our conditions, these children will be released immediately and no one will be harmed."

"But if the city council disobeys our wishes, these weak lives will become victims. The blood of the children will stain the hands of important officials like you, and you will bear eternal sin."

"With that said, on behalf of all my compatriots on the border, I now make the following demands to the Crescent City Council."

"First, the armed forces of the government should stop all exchanges of fire, not harm any compatriots on the border in the inner city, and allow them to move freely."

"Second, release all border compatriots imprisoned in prison and give them their freedom so that they can reunite with their families and brothers."

"Third, repeal the Border Isolation Act, launch the rust wall demolition plan, completely dismantle the rust wall, and fully restore transportation between the border and the inner city."

"Four"

There seemed to be fire burning in Muto Toei's eyes, and his voice sounded like a bell:

"Reorganize the administrative division of this city, and the Border District will be separated from Crescent City. It will no longer be regarded as a city district, but as an urban unit on the same level as Crescent City - Border District is independent!"

The first three requirements already seem incredible.

The last request caused everyone to be in an uproar!

Border independence, what is this concept? !

Don't talk about Crescent City.

It has been 152 years since the reconstruction of civilization after the war, and there has never been an independent urban incident in any of the consular districts of the World Government. The Crow's Nest is making history!

While everyone was horrified, Muto Toei continued: "I need to make a special interpretation of the fourth requirement."

"After the border area breaks away from Crescent City and becomes an independent city, it must enjoy all the policy benefits of the world government, including but not limited to infrastructure construction, road planning, special fund support, tax incentives, etc."

"Border City must have all the benefits that Crescent City has. All residents living there must have formal status and household registration."

"As for the management establishment, the first city council of Border City will be selected from within by Border people. We will have a high degree of autonomous governance. Border people will manage Border City, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere."

“All this cannot just remain in verbal communication, it must appear in the official documents of the authorities and be notified throughout the country, with irrevocable legal effect.”

"These are all the requirements put forward by Crow's Nest. Meeting them is our only condition for releasing the hostages!"

The barrage had already exploded:

【What the hell? ? Witness history? ! 】

[Meaning that from now on it will no longer be called Border District, but Border City? On the same level as Crescent City? ! 】

[We are finally no longer the fourth class! Finally I won’t be stepped on anymore! 】

[What I was thinking about, you actually did it! Whether it works or not, Crow's Nest is awesome! ! ! 】

[Crow’s Nest has worked so hard for the border. Brothers, I, an old border man, really shed tears.]

【Eight years! My father and mother were beaten to death by the police officer for no reason! Eight full years! I finally saw this day for them! Go to Crescent City! Go to hell! 】

【King of the Border! For this feat, I will recognize your crow's nest as the king of the border for the rest of my life! 】

[Crow's Nest, our king! 】

[Crow's Nest, our king! 】

Later on, the screen was full of bullets saying "Crow's Nest, Our King!" 】

The uniform words are like a rolling torrent, declaring the unstoppable public opinion.

With a wave of Muto Toei's hand, the live broadcast screen was divided into two halves.

Muto Toei is on the left side of the screen, and the gloomy face of Crescent City Acting Mayor Schenkov appears on the right side.

Muto Toei was having a live conversation with Schenkov. He raised his chin and said, "Mr. Acting Speaker, I believe you heard clearly. This is not a child's play, but the roar of the border people under oppression."

"The inner city regards the border areas as rubbish and doesn't want to be with us. Well, please do so and we can be safe on our own."

"From today on, there is no such thing as a border area. There is only a border city, which is on the same level as Crescent City and does not have any ownership relationship."

Schenkov's face was ashen and he said in a deep voice: "Muto Toei, I can understand the mood of our compatriots on the border, but I hope you will maintain restraint and calmness."

"If compatriots in the border areas are dissatisfied with their situation, we can negotiate amicably and provide some compensatory preferential treatment policies to the border areas."

"But you demand that the border areas be separated as independent cities? This is unreasonable, and this must not be the collective pursuit of the border compatriots."

Barrage:

[It’s unreasonable, you really think we care so much about Crescent City’s name? Wouldn’t it be great to be a new city? 】

[One mouthful of compatriots, who do you think you are? A man like you who lives in the inner city all day long is worthy of being called a compatriot? ! 】

【Have you ever been to the border area? Have you ever seen us as adults? Anyone who has been to the border and seen the miserable situation here will never be able to say such nonsense! 】

[Muto-kun, please don’t listen to his deceit, what a bullshit compensation policy! As long as it is returned to Xinyue City Management, life in the border area will not be easy! City Council must let us make our own decisions! 】

[Laughing, look at Schenkov’s black face. So cool! How cool it is to have the Acting Speaker show such an expression! What a relief! 】

[Hey, isn’t this the boss of the city council? When did he become so rubbish? Do you ever have a day when you are submissive in front of people on the border? 】

Muto Toei said with a smile: "Mr. Acting Speaker, you don't seem to understand the situation. This is not a negotiation, it is a request. I have a bargaining chip in my hand that you cannot refuse."

After saying that, he casually grabbed a crying child into the camera, picked it up and shook it in front of the camera.

It was obvious that Schenkov was gritting his teeth, his face was gloomy as if water was dripping from his face, and he was in a fierce inner struggle.

On one side are more than three hundred descendants of powerful and wealthy people.

On the one hand are their own responsibilities and the dignity of the entire world government.

He was pressed between two huge forces and was almost crushed.

I don’t know how long it took, but he trembled in reluctance and gritted his teeth to say: "Crescent City must remain intact. Separatist behavior is unacceptable."

The smile on Muto Toei's face slowly disappeared, and an unprecedented coldness filled his entire face: "It seems that some people are not sober and do not understand their situation."

Schenkov pressed his hands and advised in a good voice: "Mr. Muto, kidnapping will not bring benefits to any party. We should find a fair and harmonious way to deal with differences."

Muto Toei said expressionlessly: "Okay, since you gave such a perfunctory answer, then I will also give a corresponding answer, otherwise you will not be able to figure out what you are facing."

Schenkov frowned: "What do you want to do?"

Muto Toei: "You will know soon, Acting Speaker Schenkov. Remember, whatever happens next will be blamed on you. It is your arrogance and ignorance that caused all this."

Schenkov stood up from his seat and still tried to negotiate: "Mr. Muto, please remain calm and restrained! We are willing to explore other solutions to find a consensus acceptable to both parties!"

Muto Dongying ignored Schenkov and left.

The only thing left in the lens was the gray wall and the deathly silence.
