"Although injuries and deaths are still inevitable, the moment you overthrow those who oppress you, you will be able to truly take control of yourselves and no longer have to live in fear of your entire family being wiped out one day."
"At that time, all the bloodshed will not have been in vain. People will remember the will of those who sacrificed themselves and support their families. And this is the true ideal society that the Reunion Movement seeks to pursue: a society without discrimination and oppression, where everyone helps each other."
"Just like you today, daring to teach a powerful army a lesson for those who are oppressed. What you are doing is what Integration is doing every day and night, and I can say with great pride that they are doing it even better."
Winter paused slightly, as if something within her had been touched. Truth, seeing that her classmate was showing signs of wanting to join Integration, felt a mix of emotions.
After Truth finished speaking, he looked at Winter and said:
"There are too few people like Sonia. She is just fearless because she is young."
"Indeed, youth breeds fearlessness. That's why you are the true future of Ursus."
Wang Chong nodded and said, "If there is enough time, then as long as you young people of this generation understand this awareness, when you grow up, you will be able to act as pioneers and ignite the flames of resistance."
“But according to what you just said, sir, time is running out,” Zhenli said.
"Yes, time is indeed running out... Everything must be accelerated. You probably can't wait until you're grown up to raise the banner of rebellion," Wang Chong said slowly. "But, precisely because of this acceleration, perhaps we'll have the opportunity to ignite the will to resist among the people of the entire city."
"What opportunity?" both bears asked at the same time.
"Speaking of which, this opportunity was created by the two of you..." Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
"us?"
The two were taken aback at first, then Zhenli reacted first, and couldn't help but say:
"Could it be about the attack on those three soldiers? But weren't they able to recognize that it was Sonia and me pretending to be merchants? And they were able to track us down to the underground passage."
“If you don’t believe me, just wait and see how things develop in the city. When the results are in, I’ll tell you the reason.” Wang Chong stood up and said slowly:
"Of course, if you don't want to get involved in this conflict, you can just pretend you know nothing about it."
"Once everything has settled down, you will be allowed to leave naturally."
After saying that, without waiting for the two to ask any further questions, he took Lyudmila and left the room.
“Truth, what does he mean by that? Why did he leave halfway through his sentence?” Winter frowned and said.
"Because we haven't joined the Reunion Movement yet. Every step from here on out is crucial for the people in the city and for the Reunion Movement. If we take the wrong step, it could lead to bloodshed and meaningless deaths."
Truth said, "He was only able to tell us so much because he saw that we two children had great potential for rebellion and that what we did had indeed changed the landscape of Chernobyl."
"So... does that mean if we join the Reunion Movement, he'll tell us how to change everyone's fate in the city? And he just said that many cities in the south will suffer a bloody massacre, is that true?"
Winter couldn't help but ask.
“The bloody massacre must be real; he has no reason to lie to us two children. Moreover, based on my observations, the situation in Chernobyl has been getting increasingly serious lately. Not to mention the distant future, just look at the soaring prices; sooner or later, it will drive people to the path of rebellion.”
Truth shook his head and said, "But at that time, how could starving people be a match for the army group? In the end, they could only be branded with the Reunion Movement symbol and killed at will as thugs."
"No!" Winter stood up and was about to walk outside.
"Where are you going?" Truth asked, pulling Winter back.
“I’m joining the Reunion Movement right now. I can’t stand by and watch my parents and everyone I know be driven to this point by these damn thugs,” Winter said immediately.
Chapter 254: Bloodshed Under the Night
“Calm down, Sonia. Things haven’t gotten that serious yet. Besides, didn’t Mr. Wang Chong say that we should wait and see how things develop in the city before making a decision?”
Truth grabbed Winter, though she was far weaker than Winter, but she knew Winter wouldn't do anything to hurt her.
"Now, let's wait patiently. I've said before, we need to make a decision only after we've carefully checked it with our own eyes," Zhenli said earnestly.
Hearing Truth say this, Winter's initial excitement subsided slightly. She sat down on the ground somewhat impatiently and said, "How long will it take to get a result?"
"I don't know, but we can't go back now anyway."
Truth sighed, then, as if struck by a thought, said:
"Oh, I almost forgot. I told Lada that if we couldn't get back before the school closed in the evening, she should meet us at our usual spot."
Winter was taken aback and said, "If that guy waits too long, he'll probably leave on his own, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. Sigh, if I had known it would turn out like this, I would have told her in advance. If we've been out all this time, the school and our families will probably notice something's wrong very quickly."
Truth shook her head and said, "School is alright, but it's mainly my parents... Sigh, now that I think about it, I guess I was a bit carried away. This is the first time I've done something so reckless with you."
"Really? It's your first time, but you're much better at setting things up than I am. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to defeat those three soldiers."
Winter looked up, pressing the back of her head against the wall, and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Reunion Movement is really strong. I heard that they have defeated these Ursus troops several times with fewer troops."
"Hmm... In the books I've read about integration, there are records of methods for training militia today. I was originally planning to teach those three sergeants a lesson and then go back and try it out on you guys." (You Lin, you want to know, you have time, Lin, are you here...)
Truth opened his brochure, looked at it again, and said:
"No wonder our emperor banned these books. As long as these books continue to circulate, even if the Reunion Movement fails, there will always be Ursus people who can stand up again, unite, and become a new 'Reunion'."
……
Evening
Azazel Clinic
"According to the latest information, the garrison in the city has finally taken action. They first blocked the underground streets and the above-ground passages, and sent people to warn us that no one should be allowed to approach the passages, whether above or below ground."
After Wang Chong and his men returned to the clinic, they quickly obtained the latest intelligence from Helag.
"The action was faster than I expected. I thought it would take a few days, depending on further pressure from Prince Baikal. It seems that the garrison leader is indeed a ruthless person. Ordinary people wouldn't be so bold."
Wang Chong's expression also turned serious as he said:
"They're not easy to deal with... but there's a way to fight fast too."
“What do you plan to do?” Herag asked.
“Let’s see how they do it first…” Wang Chong stood up and said slowly, “You can’t get out, only I have the ability to ignore the terrain and come to the ground to monitor the situation.”
“…In that case, I’ll leave everything up to you,” Hrag said. “We still have some people left up there, but they won’t be able to get the message over until at least tomorrow.”
Wang Chong nodded, said nothing more, and after leaving the clinic, he used the black mist to carry Arcueid and the others away from the underground street.
In about fifteen minutes, everyone had arrived above the city. However, since night had not yet fully fallen, Wang Chong and the others did not immediately descend.
"The outer city is indeed not very turbulent. As Hrag said, only a portion of the troops have been stationed to guard the passageways. The real focus is on the inner city, where soldiers can be seen moving around everywhere."
"Although we haven't completely taken action against those emerging nobles yet, it's not too late."
Wang Chong sensed the black mist and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"However, just in case, some people need to be rescued." While waiting for the twilight reward, Wang Chong used the black mist to remotely contact someone.
"Greetings, sir." The familiar, slightly feminine female voice rang in his mind again. Wang Chong didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Black Serpent, give me the list of the nobles you've selected in Chernobog."
"Hmm? Has it already started so quickly?" Black Snake was clearly surprised as well.
Wang Chong then told Black Snake about the accident that had happened that day, as well as about Quan Duer.
"Wow, this is quite an unexpected surprise. I know Major General Quan Duo'er well. He was one of the close associates of General Takagi, the deputy commander of the Third Army who was purged during the Civil War. However, he was still quite young at the time and not a core member, which is why he escaped the purge afterward."
The sound of turning pages came from the black area, followed by a slow, deliberate voice:
"Yes, he inherited part of General Takagi's political legacy and was able to remain inactive on the border for twenty years. He is a truly ambitious man. Even I miscalculated him."
"You can study his information later. What I need now are nobles who can be useful for our future plans. Now is a rare opportunity to make both sides fight amongst themselves."
Wang Chong spoke slowly.
"Well, the list includes... their appearances..."
The black snake wasn't describing it with words; instead, it was sharing its memories directly so that Wang Chong could access them.
After memorizing these names, appearances, and locations in the city, Wang Chong began to explore using the black mist that had already permeated the city.
Soon, Wang Chong located all of the dozen or so targets. He then turned around and gestured for Arcueid and the others to come forward. After assigning each person their target location, he gave them instructions:
"After dark, if the soldiers let the owners of those houses go, that's fine. If they don't, find an opportunity to knock them unconscious and use the black fog to help them escape. Be careful to get them away before the soldiers find them to avoid unnecessary fighting."
Then, Wang Chong gave each of them a wisp of black mist, which would not only help them escape but also allow the black mist to locate those people.
The women agreed, and after Wang Chong added some details to the plan, he waited for night to fall completely.
……
"Crackling and popping—"
The sound of burning firewood filled the air, and streaks of light appeared from within the inner city. Those were the torches held by the soldiers who had been waiting for so long.
After a period of deployment, the soldiers had driven everyone in the inner city back to their residences, and the only sound in the inner city could be the sound of the soldiers patrolling the streets.
Under the guise of avenging their brothers, they pressured the noble powers to hand over the prisoners as soon as possible.
Every family and clan in the inner city is now trembling with fear, interrogating their servants about who is so audacious as to provoke the border army at this critical juncture.
But their efforts were destined to be fruitless, because the real culprit wasn't among them at all, so how could they possibly find him? They were even secretly cursing the fool who had ruined everyone's lives.
Quan Duoer checked the time; it was getting late, and it was time to start closing the net.
He then gave a signal to Stonnov, who immediately understood and began to issue orders.
In an instant, the chaotic sounds of fighting erupted. One mansion after another was smashed open, and the soldiers attacked anyone they saw without warning. Soon, the first group of people were arrested and brought under control.
The soldiers then began ransacking and destroying the house. At first, the homeowner tried to stop them, but after being hit several times with sticks, he became completely obedient.
Well, they're lying on the ground and not moving at all, so of course they're behaving themselves.
In an instant, fear gripped the entire inner city, filled with screams and the sounds of destruction. All of Dor watched this scene expressionlessly, the towering flames reflected in his eyes.
"Go ahead and make trouble... From this day forward, none of you will be able to stop me. Whether it's unification or Grand Prince Baikal..."
Quan Duoer continued watching coldly.
Seeing that the border troops had begun to move, Wang Chong didn't hesitate and took advantage of the darkness to fly towards the inner city.
"Pay attention to your respective areas. After you've taken those people away, head straight back to the underground passage. Don't wait for me."
After Wang Chong finished giving his final words, the group immediately dispersed and flew off toward their respective destinations.
Chapter 255: Turmoil in the Inner City
"Ugh! What happened? Why is the whole area under martial law so soon after I returned to the inner city from the school?"
In a dark corner, a young girl with a slender and voluptuous figure that rivals that of an adult is hiding in an abandoned house, looking out at the scenery through a hole in the wall.
Her elegant school uniform clearly revealed her identity. She was originally a student of the elite at the Fourth Middle School in the inner city, but after the army group took over several middle schools, she was uniformly assigned to Peterheim Middle School for semi-closed management.
Today was supposed to be the day she returned home from the outer city to visit her relatives, but to her utter surprise, as soon as she arrived in the inner city, she encountered the Ursus garrison starting to drive away pedestrians. She was forced into this mansion and dared not step out of the yard.
Like her, there were more than a dozen other people from the inner city wandering outside, none of whom knew what exactly had happened in the inner city.
"Hey hey hey! I'm back!"
Just then, a person spoke to the crowd in the courtyard from the gate.
A man from Ursus, covered in bruises, stumbled and fell into the room, looking utterly disheveled.
"How did you get so badly injured on that trip? What happened?" The people present helped the man up and asked immediately.
"Murder and arson are everywhere. Those soldiers have gone mad! They've stormed into mansions without reason, dragging out nobles one by one and killing them head to head. Then they've ransacked their homes and set them on fire!"
The man, pale-faced, said:
"If you don't believe me, come closer and listen; there are sounds of fighting everywhere outside!"
The others turned pale upon seeing this. Among them were people connected to the newly emerging nobles. Although they had escaped this calamity by hiding here, who knew if the soldiers would realize what was happening after ransacking their homes and start targeting them?
"No, we can't stay here any longer! We have to escape! We have to escape from the inner city!"
"Escape? How can I escape? Do you think I got these injuries from nowhere? I just went out to gather intelligence, and I almost got killed!"
"Then...then let's wait until some of the surrounding soldiers disperse before we split up and run! Whether we live or die is up to fate!"
The people started chattering and arguing, while the girl in the corner turned even paler after hearing the news. She prayed silently that her parents would be safe and sound.
……
"You're Alex's father, right? And Misha too. Alex always mentions you, his older sister."
Inside a rather simple house, Wang Chong watched the father and daughter busy tidying up their equipment and couldn't help but smile as he spoke.
"Who...who are you?" Alex's father, Sergei, looked at the man who had suddenly appeared with great vigilance and asked.
“Wang Chong, leader of the Reunion Movement,” Wang Chong said slowly.
"!! You are the leader of the Reunion Movement? The teacher my son mentioned?" Upon hearing the visitor's identity, Sergei quickly invited Wang Chong in.
"Thank you, sir, for saving my son's life and for taking care of him and Lyudmila." After entering the inner room, Sergei almost knelt down to express his gratitude, but Wang Chong helped him up in time.
