Those who reincarnate must die.

"You're not from Dream City!"

Carpunk sneered:

"I know it's not just you, it's Carmela and the others too. You're not from Dream City, you don't care what happens to this city, and you don't care about our lives!"

"Carmela and the others only care about the rewards I have. They're willing to take any job as long as I offer the right price. And you? If I'm not mistaken, you must be their enemy, right? You impersonated Zhao Hanwen's people to get close to me, just to find them and take them out!"

"Alright, now that you've achieved your goal, why are you still lingering here? Why don't you hurry up and leave this city that's about to be destroyed?"

"Because I don't want more people to get caught up in the vortex of revenge!"

Noticing that the area Alice was giving him was getting smaller and smaller, Zhang Lang quickened his pace while continuing to calm Carpunk down:

"If you detonate this bomb, thousands upon thousands of people who have lost family and friends will become avengers like me!"

"Isn't that perfect?!" Carpunk laughed loudly. "This damn world should just keep going crazy!"

"What dream city, what hope city, it's all a fucking lie! Those damn capitalists live a life of luxury, easily amassing unimaginable wealth!"

"But what about the lower city? Are we born to eat garbage? To live in toxic smog?"

"I was born in the Lower City. Because of the toxic fumes, I was born with limb deformities. I started wearing mechanical prosthetics when I was five. Every year, as my body grows, I have to remove the old prosthetics and get new ones. Those prosthetics are rusty and greasy. They're all garbage dumped from the Upper City. Wearing these things makes my wounds inflamed, fester, and even erode my internal organs..."

"To survive, I had to modify my body more and more. My mother stole money from gangsters to pay for my medical care and was tortured to death! And me? For a small piece of bread, a small piece of Caentrolon, I had to fight to the death, mentally preparing myself every day to kill or be killed! That's fucking life!"

"You think I'm an isolated case? No, there are people like me everywhere in the Lower City. These people aren't lazy; they manage to survive even in the harsh conditions of the Lower City! All we need is a job, a chance to earn a living! Even if we're exploited, we just want to survive!"

"But those damned capitalists, for profit, they let machines replace us, turning us into people the world doesn't need! We don't even have the right to be exploited! There are 17 billion people in this world, and more than 15 billion are in this state. We are ravaged, we are starving, we are mutated, we are extinct..."

"Since we're not human in their eyes, and don't deserve to live... then let's just let no one live either!"

Carpunk became more and more excited as he spoke:

"Now, the lives of those high and mighty rich people are in my hands. With just a flick of my finger, the entire Dream City will collapse. Regardless of wealth or social class, everyone will be treated equally in the face of death!"

"That's impossible!"

Just as Carpunk was getting into his story, a voice that sounded soft yet incredibly firm interrupted their communication!

"Who is it?"

Carpunk immediately became alert, while Zhang Lang looked at the android beside him in surprise. The voice just now belonged to Zhao Jingyi! How did this Dr. Zhao manage to get into their communication?

Zhao Jingyi gave Zhang Lang a look, signaling him to continue, and then continued speaking to Carpunk on their communication channel: "Even if you activate the bomb now, it will only kill the people in the lower city..."

"Nonsense!" Carpunk roared. "Who are you? Are you a cop? Don't try to sway me!"

"My name is Zhao Jingyi... I'm Zhao Hanwen's younger sister, the youngest daughter of the chairman of the Zhao Group..."

Zhao Jingyi gritted her teeth and said:

"I understand your resentment, but what you're doing is really pointless... Do you know that the Zhao Group began preparing a Sky City project twenty years ago..."

Zhang Lang looked at the android beside him in surprise. He never expected that Dr. Zhao, who was treating him, was actually Zhao Hanwen's sister.

"What Sky City?" Carpunk's voice came through.

"This is a secret plan known only to the top executives of the Zhao Group..." Zhao Jingyi explained:

"Specifically, an anti-gravity system will be installed on the floors where the central and lower districts meet, ensuring that even if the lower district floors collapse, the central and upper districts will remain suspended in the air, unaffected!"

"What did you say?" Carpunk's voice was filled with shock. "This is impossible!"

"What's impossible about it!" Zhao Jingyi's tone was very firm:

"The Zhao Group is a world-leading construction company. The majority of Dream City's infrastructure was built by the Zhao Group. If we can build a three-dimensional city, we can make it fly!"

"You're lying to me..." Carpunk's voice trembled, clearly wavering. "I don't believe you. Are you trying to trick me into giving up?!"

"I don't want the tens of millions of lives lost in the lower city to have been sacrificed in vain!"

Zhao Jingyi said, "The plan to blow up the lower city district, you probably didn't come up with it yourself, did you? Someone must have been directing you, or even providing the channels, right? Didn't you ever think about why, even though they secretly provided you with enough explosives, you would still go and bribe lower-level members of the group to steal the explosives?"

"This...this is because I want the whole world to know that I destroyed Dream City!"

Carpunk shouted:

"This is how we can warn capitalists in other places that people at the bottom of society also have the power to overthrow them, and let the underprivileged in other cities know that there is no distinction between noble and lowly people, and that we have the power to resist!"

"A naive idea..."

Zhao Jingyi gritted her teeth and said:

"Did you know that after the Sky City project was completed, the president of the Zhao Group, who is also my older brother, proposed another plan in an internal meeting... the collapse of the lower levels!"

"His plan is to destroy the lower city after ensuring that the upper and middle city can float independently... In this way, everyone in the upper and middle city, whether from large corporations or ordinary employees, will have their lives and fortunes tied to our anti-gravity engine, and the Zhao family, who controls the anti-gravity engine, will gain absolute power!"

"This is impossible!" Carpunk roared, as if he had forgotten that he was about to carry out a similar plan.

"Of course it's impossible!" Zhao Jingyi roared, "This idea was rejected as soon as it was proposed. Regardless of the chances of success, the mere act of blowing up the lower city and killing countless people would cause the Zhao family to lose public support and be branded as demons who disregard human life!"

"But what if some low-level terrorists blow up the lower city themselves!" Zhao Jingyi gritted her teeth and said, "Then the anti-gravity engine holding up the upper and middle city would become a lifeline, and the Zhao Group would become heroes!"

"Although I don't know who's behind you, I believe that the one who supported you, helped you obtain the explosives, and carried out the plan is definitely the Zhao Group, my elder brother's faction!"

"You're just a pawn kept in the dark!"

As they spoke, the two emerged from the sewers and arrived at a dilapidated doorway. The thin sheet metal door offered little protection, and Carpunk's furious roar could be clearly heard from within: "I don't believe you! You're lying to me!"

At the same time, the roar also rang out in the communication between the two people's external brain chips!
