Chapter 153 Federal Law
Chapter 153 Federal Law (2 more monthly tickets required)
Yubei City No. 1 Airport, aircraft inner harbor.
At this time, there was a large federal mobile airship and several small aircraft docked there.
The airship's flight engine has been started and is on standby. Many federal investigation team members in black suits are transporting some special citizens onto the airship.
"Director Taylor, the situation is so serious now, why don't you take off yet!"
A middle-aged man with black and white hair and a gloomy face was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed over by a bodyguard. The huge aircraft spoiler made the corners of everyone's clothes tremble. The middle-aged man looked angry and questioned Taylor Moreno who was sending a message on a mobile terminal.
Taylor Moreno looked up at him and said, "Senator Zhou, please return to the airship immediately. Without clearing the airspace of threats, the flight formation cannot risk taking off."
"Ridiculous! What about the Iron Guard Brigade, the Guard Regiment, and... there are so many air defense equipment at the airport. All of them are funded by the Federation. Why don't they clear the airspace for us? A bunch of idiots!" Councilman Zhou yelled hysterically, "Take off quickly, or you won't be in charge anymore."
Taylor Moreno laughed disdainfully and responded calmly
"Iron Guard Brigade? They refused to escort us, but I have used the federal authority to directly restart the airport system. The current anti-aircraft weapons will open up a passage for us, so please don't waste your time here."
Councillor Zhou glanced at her coldly, his eyes changed, and he said anxiously: "Hmph, then hurry up, you have wasted my time, all of you get out of here!"
"Notify all flight formations and prepare for takeoff."
Taylor Moreno handed the mobile device to his men and gave instructions.
"Yes."
Click, click, click...
At this time, a group of hurried footsteps came quickly. Taylor Moreno turned around and saw Bai Shuang walking quickly with a group of emergency team members and soldiers from the Iron Guard Brigade, all of them with angry faces.
"Guards!"
She shouted immediately, and dozens of guards came forward with guns.
"How dare you do such a thing!" Bai Shuang ignored the gunshots of the guards and rushed forward angrily: "There are tens of thousands of survivors here. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
Taylor Moreno stepped back and asked the guards to stand in front of her. She raised her glasses and said defiantly:
"According to Article 332 of federal law, all armed forces must provide comprehensive escort measures for government officials' aircraft. I am just following the regulations!"
Bai Shuang roared after hearing this, "Have you forgotten that Article 1 of the federal law states that the safety of life, property and freedom of all citizens is above all else!!"
"So what?"
Taylor Moreno smiled coldly and pointed at the large airship behind him.
"Then do you know who are these people?!"
The conflict here soon attracted the attention of other survivors in the square. Many people felt unhappy when they saw the federal investigation team, so more and more people gathered around, and many people became even more furious after hearing the conversation between the two.
"What! They actually shut down the air defense system... for escort??!!"
"What the hell! Why would you do that!?"
"Damn it, I'm going to kill you!"
"Fuck these sons of bitches!!"
"Kill them!!"
The crowd was outraged and many people started raising their guns. The guards were forced to stand in front of Taylor Moreno and Councilman Zhou to prevent the angry survivors from rushing forward.
Shu Qin, Xu Jin, Lao Mo and others were already covered in blood. In order to resist, they almost used the gun barrels as fire sticks, but they were suddenly stabbed in the back by their own people.
It's impossible not to be angry.
Councillor Zhou looked at the scene with a gloomy expression, and gestured slightly to the bodyguard behind him, preparing to leave.
Facing the angry curses, Taylor Moreno opened his mouth and shouted: "I advise you not to waste your time. The entire airport is a federal asset. Don't you think it's ridiculous that these weapons and these high walls were built by you guys?!"
She was trembling, and became more and more excited as she spoke: "You have to know that the people on these airships are the most important assets of our human civilization. Everyone has the obligation to protect them first..."
Bang!
A gunshot pierced the sky, and the explosive scene suddenly became quiet.
Because everyone saw that Taylor, who was shouting wildly, had a regular blood hole in the middle of her eyebrows, and blood was slowly flowing down from her eyebrows. Her eyes were full of disbelief, and then... she fell backwards with a plop.
pat pat pat.
A pair of powerful footsteps came quickly, and the crowd automatically parted. Zhang Dingzhong, commander of the Iron Guard Brigade, walked into the inner harbor surrounded by a group of adjutants.
Seeing the newcomer, Congressman Zhou's face suddenly changed. He looked at Taylor who was dead on the ground and said coldly, "General Zhang, you dare to shoot at federal officials. Are you going to cause trouble for our entire federal government..."
Bang!
Zhang Dingzhong had an indifferent look on his face. He walked over, raised his pistol and fired another shot, directly shooting the wheelchair-bound Councillor Zhou in the head. He cursed in a low voice.
"Bastard."
He shot at the center of the eyebrows without mercy.
The bodyguard behind Councillor Zhou had his face splattered with blood. He looked down and saw Councillor Zhou slumped in a wheelchair with his mouth wide open, urine and feces all over his body. He was dead beyond deadness.
The hundreds of passengers on the airship also heard the gunshots at this time, and the cabin was suddenly in chaos with screams.
This sudden change also stunned the angry survivors present. Shi Diyuan of Longshan No. 1 widened his eyes and looked relieved. The siblings Jian Xuwei and Jian Zeyang of Silver Star changed their expressions slightly at this time.
Zhang Dingzhong walked directly to the head of the guard group, Zhan Wei, and glanced at him coldly. "Zhan Wei, when you were my guard, did I ever teach you to point a gun at women and children?"
"Chief, I..."
Seeing the old leader, Zhan Wei's expression struggled for a moment, he lowered his head, and all the members of the guard regiment put down their guns at this time, as they were unwilling to point their guns at the survivors.
Zhang Dingzhong walked past him and came to the back, saying to the deputy who was trembling with fear beside Taylor Moreno's body, "You have three minutes to take off."
"what!?"
When the deputy heard this, he turned pale with fright. The other federal officials all changed their expressions and ran towards the airship.
"Quick! Let's go!"
On the airship, Zhao Yan and Xu Wen were sitting at the very end, holding their computer bags, with nervous expressions. When they saw the airship was about to take off, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, I thought they were going to shoot us."
"Hey... we're finally taking off..."
Uh...
The airship slowly took off, and the entire flying formation began to rush into the high-altitude night.
Zhao Yan looked through the window of the airship at the black armored train parked on the train platform in the distance, her eyes flickering, "Director Ding... what a pity..."
……
After shooting Taylor and Councillor Zhou, General Zhang Dingzhong came to Bai Shuang.
"What's the situation now?"
"Not good." Bai Shuang's face was filled with worry. "We didn't expect them to do something like this. It completely disrupted our plans."
Wei Kexue, who was standing by, lamented, "This authority comes from the authorization of the top leaders of the former Federation. Now we either have to negotiate with them or rewrite the system."
The federal government collapsed, and as all places fell, there was no clear division of system permissions for local assets. The purpose of the White Frost emergency team's arrival was to activate and maintain the climbing channel to assist the survivors in transferring. No one expected that Taylor Moreno would suddenly do this at the critical moment, completely catching everyone off guard. This disaster actually came from within humanity.
Hearing this, everyone in the survivor team took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Dingzhong.
"Forget about authorization. How long will it take to rewrite the system?"
The most patient person here was Zhang Dingzhong. His expression remained unchanged, like a stabilizing force in everyone's heart: "The defense line has not been breached yet. There is still a chance to evacuate."
Wei Kexue looked around with a complicated expression and said anxiously, "If we overwrite the system, it will take at least four hours with the computing power of the computers we brought. The climbing elevator has been repaired with the help of Captain Lin, but the problem now is that even if the overwrite is completed, the power transmitted from the Oriental Cable will not be able to support the operation of the climbing elevator."
Zhang Dingzhong frowned slightly and looked at Bai Shuang.
"Yes." Bai Shuang said with some shame, "The earthquake just now damaged a power line in the airport. The climbing elevator, electromagnetic acceleration, and air defense system are all large electricity users. The current energy can no longer maintain the basic operation of the airport."
As soon as Bai Shuang's words came out, the atmosphere seemed to suddenly freeze.
The faces of the survivors present changed drastically, and an atmosphere of panic and despair suddenly began to spread.
"Ah?? The airport can no longer be maintained?"
"Then what should we do, wait to die?"
"My God..."
……
"So, there is no other way?" Zhang Dingzhong's face darkened and he asked sternly.
"We..." Bai Shuang was extremely anxious at this moment. The critical situation at the airport was far beyond the previous estimation. In addition, the Iron Guard Brigade suffered heavy losses, leaving the survivors stranded here almost in despair. She was at a loss for a moment.
"There is another way!"
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from behind the crowd. Everyone's face changed and they all looked back.
In the distance, Lin Xian and KIKI were running towards them with anxious looks on their faces.
"Captain Lin!" Shu Qin and Xu Jin shouted immediately.
"Captain Lin?!"
When Wei Kexue saw Lin Xian coming, he suddenly remembered that there was such a master of mechanical abilities here, and immediately asked as if he had found a life-saving straw, "You... do you have a way to override the system?"
In his opinion, if Lin Xian could directly repair such a complex robot and could directly overwrite the system, there might still be some chance.
"I can't override the system!"
Lin Xian hurried over and glanced at General Zhang Dingzhong, who was in the lead. He knew that he should be the head of the Iron Guard Brigade, so he said directly
"But I have a way to send everyone in the airport to the high-altitude corridor within two hours!"
