I was expelled from school at the beginning, but luckily I am the king of endurance.

Unfortunately, what it realized was not the reason why Xiaoya and the others asked everyone to clean up.

It is true that the Spartacus Group has big ambitions, but this cleanup is purely for the purpose of creating a better environment. Although Fourth Street is cleaner than most places in the black market, it is only cleaner than in the black market. It is still full of garbage, but occasionally someone can't stand it and will contact someone to deal with it.

Xiaoya and the others want to clean up this place thoroughly, and by the way, try to organize these people through this collective labor to prepare for the Spartacus Group's future actions in the black market.

Looking at the rioting crowd, Xiaoya didn't say anything, but just fired a shot into the air. This was more effective than shouting. These rioting merchants immediately realized who was holding the force.

So without saying anything more, these merchants dispersed and spontaneously cleaned the streets, with even greater enthusiasm than when Xiaoya whipped them.

After cleaning the streets, Xiaoya called a company group that specializes in garbage disposal and arranged for them to come every afternoon. By the way, although the merchants were reluctant, he forced them to make a rule that every store must clean up the garbage on a regular basis in the afternoon.

The black market is like this. Only absolute force can make these citizens who are accustomed to the law of the jungle in the black market obey. The prerequisite for reasoning with them is to explain physics first.

After doing all this, Xiaoya looked at the much cleaner streets and nodded with satisfaction. Now the environment was ready, and the ammunition preparation in the store was almost completed. They just had to wait until the next day and they could start business.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 34: Development and Crisis

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed, and what happened this week has given Xiaoya a headache.

The base developed rapidly, the production of ammunition had stabilized, the recruited citizens had become familiar with the production process, and as their proficiency continued to improve, the production of ammunition was also gradually increasing.

The hydroponic farm has officially started production, and the first batch of rice and other kinds of seeds have been planted. It is the first time that Xiaoya and her friends have seen the appearance of crop seeds.

These two projects have almost absorbed the manpower of the base. The ammunition factory is okay because it has a high degree of automation and only needs a dozen people to maintain operation, but the hydroponic farm requires more people. Together with the experts from Hongdong, the number of people working in the hydroponic farm has reached 400.

There are also some other small industries, and it can be said that there is no unemployment among the working population in the base. Eri has even complained about the lack of manpower more than once.

As for the mercenary students who were kidnapped, Eri broke them up and expanded them into five new teams along with the Red Army's third and fourth teams. Now the total available force in the base has reached seventy people.

There was a shortage of weapons; the black market supply of standard weapons had been cut off, leaving Xiaoya and her companions unable to obtain them. These new Red Army members were still using their own weapons. Furthermore, their ideological awareness was low. They had been agitated for a while over the Red Army's lack of salaries, only subsidies. However, the members of the original Classes 3 and 4 suppressed the unrest. Xiaoya took the time to understand these students' mindsets and made an assessment.

If the new teams from Classes 3 to 7 really want to reach the level of organization of Classes 1 and 2, it will take at least a month for them to understand what they are fighting for. However, once they succeed, the combat effectiveness they unleash will definitely not be inferior to the elite in the Discipline Committee. After all, these students are mercenaries with rich combat experience.

The situation in the black market has also made some progress. This week, although Xiaoya and the others raised the standards for joining the Spartacus organization, many students still joined, of course, not including Huizi.

This eased the tension among the cadres in the base area. In addition, community autonomy did allow the base area to free up more cadres. Therefore, the Spartacus Group sent a team of cadres to the black market.

This team has established a basic management structure on the Fourth Street. Now Xiaoya and her team can collect taxes directly from the merchants on the Fourth Street. Although these merchants understand it as protection fees, the Spartacus Group has now truly established control over the Fourth Street. Before, they only used force to intimidate them.

These are the tasks that are progressing smoothly, but the next part is what gives Xiaoya a headache.

At the Central District branch, the contact with the Discipline Committee has reached a deadlock again. After the last meeting, for some reason, the Discipline Committee's attitude towards the Spartacus Group has become much colder. Iori even took the team to the trade union and warned the citizens not to go too far. For a time, the factory thought that the Discipline Committee had finally remembered them.

However, Iori did not attack the union, which made the factory very disappointed.

However, this warning made Kanna feel a crisis. When they contacted each other again later, there was no progress in the negotiations. Kanna implicitly proposed that the united front be led by the Disciplinary Committee, but Iori ignored her.

To make matters worse, the negotiations with the Disciplinary Committee were progressing slowly, and the Pandemonium Guards launched another operation against the union.

Fortunately, Keiko saw the Pandemonium Guards on the way to the union and told Kanna in time, which allowed the Spartacus Corps' central district branch to be successfully transferred.

As soon as they left, the Pandemonium guards sealed off their activity room and declared the Spartacus Group an illegal organization. The union was also ordered to disband by Pandemonium, and the factory said that they were still grateful to Makoto.

The Red Army was temporarily unable to directly confront the Pandemonium. Faced with the situation reported by Kanna, Xiaoya and several executive committee members urgently discussed for more than an hour and decided to let the Spartacus Group completely go underground. They used the funds to rent an independent house in the suburbs of the Central District as the headquarters of the Central District branch.

The reading club was shut down, and as for the official website, Pandemonium had no control over it. The Spartacus Corps simply deleted the organization's headquarters on the official website, but the electronic version of the theoretical books was still posted there. Eri took the time to take a look and found that the total number of downloads had reached more than 6,000.

Although the union was ordered to disband, the student workers still kept in touch. After the turmoil, several members of the Spartacus League took the lead in organizing a secret union. Everyone continued to unite without telling the factory, but they could no longer hold study sessions openly and could only find time to come out at night.

However, the efficiency has been obviously reduced a lot, but Xiaoya and the others have no choice, as they do not have the ability to break off relations with the Pantheon.

The only good news is probably that the existence of the base has not been exposed yet. Now the base has almost broken away from Gehenna's economic system. Except for normal food imports, the raw materials for production are basically imported from outside through Abydos, and the products are also sold to the black market through Abydos. Now if the Pantheon blocks the base, Xiaoya and the others can directly announce their separation from Gehenna without any problem.

[But what exactly is Hina planning?]

Xiaoya pondered the importance of the Disciplinary Committee's attitude to the establishment of a united front. Without it, the Spartacus Group would be better off going it alone. But now...

"Comrade Chairman, the comrades from the Intelligence Department reported that an exchange of fire had occurred on the Trinity border."

Yuri's report interrupted Xiaoya's thoughts, and Xiaoya looked up at Yuri.

"Firefight? Isn't this very common in the black market?"

"Yes, but they are coming towards Fourth Street, and there is someone there whom you should be familiar with, Comrade Chairman." Yuri said, handing over a tablet.

Although Xiaoya had said it many times in private, her comrades just liked to address her with honorifics. Only a few people who were familiar with her would use ordinary titles. This made Xiaoya very embarrassed, but now no one could change it for the time being, so Xiaoya just let them do as they pleased. However, the acquaintances mentioned by the comrades made Xiaoya very interested.

Hoshino and the others were staying in Abydos, and Hongdong's comrades weren't here either. So who could it be? The millennial classmate? Curious, Xiaoya took the tablet from Youri and clicked on the photo sent by the Intelligence Department.

"This is..."

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 35: First Encounter with the Tutoring Department

It's hard to find words to describe Hifumi's current mood.

It was her fault for skipping the exam because of Pelolo's limited performance, and it was also her fault for not being able to help all the members pass the exam as the head of the cram school club.

But why was the second examination held in the self-governing area of ​​Gehenna?

Master Nagisa, why do you treat me like this?!

Hifumi was running in the black market with a crying face, and beside her were the panting teacher and three other students of Trinity.

The reason they ran was, of course, the group of bad girls behind them.

"The rich lady from Trinity is actually here! Everyone, hurry up!"

Obviously, the bad guys treated them as prey. Speaking of which, if Hifumi was kidnapped, they should be able to get a lot of ransom.

"We've spotted a group of elite enemies ahead, and we're surrounded."

"Eh? Xiaozi?"

A student with pure white wings next to Hifumi glanced at the situation in front of him and calmly described the current situation.

It was only then that Hifumi discovered that a group of students had organized a defense line at the entrance of the Fourth Street ahead, and they even set up a machine gun. But why did the short student in the lead look so familiar?

"It's...it's Xiaoya!" The teacher had sharp eyes, and although he was a little out of breath, he recognized the person at a glance.

That’s right, it was Xiaoyaer who received the news from the Intelligence Department.

Although she didn't know what trouble the teacher had caused, when she saw the tablet photo of the teacher and several students including Hifumi being chased by bad guys, Xiaoya made a quick decision and took a group of Red Army thugs to set up a simple defense line at the entrance of Fourth Street.

"Teacher! Hifumi-san! Get down!" Xiaoya shouted. After the teacher and the others lay on the ground, the MG34 in the hands of the Red Army Zaoyujiang opened fire.

The bullets fired from the machine gun flew over the teachers' heads and hit the bad guys behind them.

For a while, screams continued to be heard.

Ordinary bad guys don't have Xiaoya's defense and endurance. Machine guns are the best weapons to deal with them, and there are also six riflemen to supplement the firepower.

The pursuing delinquents quickly scattered, leaving behind only a few unconscious companions.

"Teacher, Hifumi-san, are you okay?"

Xiaoya stepped forward to help the teacher and the students of Trinity up, and at the same time signaled the Red Army thugs to tie up the fainted bad guys.

These are all valuable human resources.

"It's okay, Xiaoya saved me again." The teacher stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, and said gratefully. Although the teacher was also puzzled why Xiaoya was here, Xiaoya should be able to explain it later, right?

"What a coincidence! Hifumi-san is here too. Uh, who are these people?"

Xiaomei turned around and looked at Hifumi and the three Trinity students beside her.

As she looked over, the student who first discovered their defense line subconsciously tightened the gun in his hand.

"Ahaha, it's you, Mei-san. We are from Trinity's cram school."

Tutoring Department? Xiaoya had never heard of this name, but at a glance, she subconsciously became alert. It was obvious that these students had received military training, wearing the uniform of the Justice Realization Department and looking nervous. Uh, idiot?

Although she knew it was rude, the first word that popped into Xiaoya's mind when she saw the student with a pair of small black wings on his back and head was "idiot".

Apart from the two of them, there is another one behind...

"Hmm? Does this... lovely Gehenna-san have anything to say to me?"

Corny words, deliberately standing up as if to show off the huge front armor, is this a student of Trinity?

"Oh, this Gehenna classmate makes me feel embarrassed."

He deliberately blushed, oh, and deliberately shook the front armor twice. Xiaoya felt his fist harden.

Damn front armor, Xiaoya subconsciously looked at her chest, but there was only a flat surface.

"My name is Urawa Hanako, and I'm currently working for Minister Hifumi."

Ah, so this big and brainless-looking pink-haired student's name is this. However, Xiaoya quickly calmed down and thought about it carefully. It seems that Hanako did not show any malice, and was just teasing her.

And it has to be said that such actions have more or less made the relationship between the two sides more harmonious.

"Ah, hello Urawa-san, my name is Suzuki Mei." As she said that, Mei stretched out her hand, and Hanako smiled and wanted to shake it.

"No! H is sentenced to death!"

"Uh?"

Xiaoya's hand froze in mid-air, and she looked at the pink-haired girl with her hand stretched out between her and Hanako in confusion.

The girl looked about the same height as herself, and the small black wings fluttering behind her and on her head showed her nervousness.

"What's H? Is it a handshake?" Xiaoya didn't understand, and didn't know what the student was imagining. But Hanako kept smiling and bent down and whispered a few words in her ear.

Then Xiaoya saw her cheeks quickly turn red, and finally she stumbled and said, "Hello, my name is Jiang Xiaochun, and I'm an elite in the Justice Realization Department!"

So why are the elites of the Justice Realization Department in the cram school? It’s so hard to guess.

Xiaoya just nodded and greeted, then turned to look at the last student.

"Shirasu Azusa, your specialty is acting alone. Your advantage is that you're small and easy to hide. Is there anything else you'd like to know?"

Is she small? Xiaoya looked at her daughter, who was almost the same height as herself, and fell into deep thought.

No, that's not the point. The point is that her style of introducing herself makes her look more like a member of a special forces team than an ordinary student, right?

"Well, this is not the place to chat. Let's go to our base."

It just so happened that the Red Army's trash had already tied up these fainted bad guys, and Xiaoya also said something at the right time.

Then he led everyone to the office on the street.

The teacher nodded and followed Xiaomei. The students in the cram school looked a little uneasy, except for Hanako, of course. She still had a smiling face and looked around curiously at the clean Fourth Street, which didn't look like a black market.

Well, there are also red flags with a five-pointed star, sickle and hammer planted at the door of every business.

"Xiaoya, what are these flags?"

The teacher couldn't help but ask, he was so familiar with these flags.

"This is the flag of our Spartacus Regiment. Hoisting the flag represents that the merchant has paid taxes and abided by the regulations and pricing standards we set. In return, our Gehenna Red Army will also provide them with protection." Xiaoya replied.

"what?"

After hearing the explanation, the teacher made an even more puzzled sound.

Between Progress and Reaction: Chapter 36: Being Teased

"This is our Spartacus Corps' office in the black market." Xiaoya pushed open the door and displayed the ammunition for sale at marked prices inside.

The teacher was already numb. Things like the Spartacus Regiment, the Red Flag, and the Red Army were like history repeating itself, except it was happening in Kivotos.

"So, teachers, why did you come to the black market so late?" Xiaoya poured a glass of water for the five of them. She didn't prepare any tea or anything.

"It's not like that, Mei..." Hifumi, who looked a little uneasy, explained the whole story to Mei.

From the teacher being entrusted by the tea party to be the consultant of the cram school to the second exam they are going to take, Hifumi briefly talked to Xiaomei.

"So you are going to take some exam in the central area of ​​Gehena in the early morning?" Xiaoya spread out a map of Gehena on the table and found the place that Hifumi mentioned on it.

"Yes, it's here." Looking at the place where Xiaoya pointed, Zi nodded to indicate that it was correct.

Xiaoya glanced at her phone, then shrugged and said, "It seems that your tea party is determined to expel you. There are no trains to the Central District at this time, and..."

Xiaoya said as she bent down and rummaged through the counter for a while, then she pulled out a document and put it on the table.

"Yes, Gehenna. Today, two major criminal organizations, the Gourmet Research Association and the Hot Spring Development Department, escaped from the Discipline Committee's correctional facility. The area has now been sealed off by the Discipline Committee."

This was new information sent by the Intelligence Department this morning, and it was absolutely reliable, because the huge explosion caused by the Hot Spring Development Department when they escaped almost affected Kanna who was promoting negotiations at the Disciplinary Committee headquarters.

"Ah? This...how could this happen! But if I can't pass the exam, I..." Xiaochun's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end she even sounded like she was crying.

If she was expelled from Trinity, she would no longer be able to stay in the Justice Realization Department.
