I don't know when a new mobile unit appeared on the island. According to the informants planted by the society in the logistics center, these mobile units are not actually officially organized by the empire, but a group from the south of the empire - more accurately,

They are mercenaries produced by the tribal countries on the southern islands of the continental shelf that were conquered by the empire——

Almost all of them have high-power illegal omni-machine modifications, and they cannot understand the imperial language - they can only understand the words of commanders who have received special language training - so their methods are cruel. As long as they receive orders, no matter what means they use, they will always

Able to achieve the results required by the order.

It's just such a group of barbarian mercenaries - now the worker bees of the mechanical hive - when the society needs to talk about the law, they don't need to talk about the law. When the society needs to be reasonable, they don't need to be reasonable.

When He Weigui even wanted to spend money to ward off disasters, they had no money at all - they didn't need to have [money] because the logistics center was responsible for solving all their needs.

So the society was hit, and the people clapped their hands and celebrated, almost waiting for the champagne to be opened after the society was completely destroyed!

Is it right to use violence outside the law to solve matters that need to be solved by the law?

Thomas Gilbert thought about it. If he were a big shot, he would probably adopt this approach - it is simple, efficient and popular with the people. At the same time, it can also increase the support rate and win a lot of votes in the next general election.

, and the side effects are very small - as long as you find a high-sounding reason to deal with this group of murderous barbarians, even the people's fear will be eliminated.

No matter what, the big guys never lose.

As a member of the society, it was difficult for Thomas Gilbert to survive the purge alone.

He has shares in the Intelligent Prosthetics Company under the Z Group. Although it is not much, it is enough to support his family. But how can a person as motivated as him be satisfied with just a small business?

What about dividends from partial shares?

‘I am fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.’ – Thomas Gilbert thought this way.

The situation on Dais Island changes three times a day, and those below will die if they don't follow the changes above. So the gangs in the mechanical hive unite and form countless similar societies, large and small, with a talker as the leader, and the gangs under his command.

Share land and resources, and everyone can make money together.

When Thomas Gilbert returned to the Mechanical Hive, Sunset Boulevard in Area A was crowded with spectators. He followed their gazes and saw a nearly fifty-meter-wide waterfall falling from the glass of the Mechanical Hive.

Water pours down from the top of the wall. According to onlookers, this is only a few tenths of the huge drainage system of the mechanical hive. When a storm hits, the drainage system is fully powered, and the entire elliptical sphere of the mechanical hive will

Covered by an amount of water equivalent to half a river basin - this is a parameter specified at the beginning of the design of the mechanical hive.

‘The imperial officials are really cautious, and they are not going to resist the end of the world. Why build such a luxurious building? I’m afraid it’s just a way for some big shots to benefit.’ – Thomas Gilbert thought this way.

He came to his office in the game room in Area C, put his mink coat on the clothes rack, and put the clothes rack close to the heating pack on the wall. Then he dried his wet hair, threw the towel into the trash, and lit a cigarette for himself.

Holding a William Adams Gold Label cigarette, I leaned back on my chair, opened the wireless radio app, and listened to the Days Island Meteorological Observatory's report on the disaster caused by Typhoon Apakalops, and some thoughts came to my mind.

Why do we have to hunt for Father Hassan?

In the past, gangs were almost sworn enemies. Every square meter of land meant more real money. Gangs fought over the land, and the IQs of the gang bosses were not enough to support "joint control."

"Continuous Horizon" level games are just about fighting for money like dog food with desperate bravery.

But it's different now.

The situation in the mechanical hive is too tense, even more tense than before the destruction of the gunpowder store. Fighting at this juncture is a sure way to death. Only by uniting to form a community and sharing connections and money can we not

It was a tragic end - this is the consensus of almost all the bosses.

The key to keeping the club together is to give other members confidence - this is not what an ordinary club member has to do, and Thomas Gilbert now wants to go to prison to fish for Hassan's father because he wants to "give other members

The person who the members of the community have confidence in is him, not anyone else.

He is greedy.

He wants to be the talker of the society.

After calming down for a moment, Thomas Gilbert made a phone call.

The person on the other end of the phone was very emotional.

"I know this is a special period, Xiaonian. If I had no other choice, I would never contact you."

Thomas Gilbert's reassurance worked, and the other party's tone became less agitated, and he asked about his intentions.

"I want you to help me find a way to get people - a completely reasonable and legal way. I know that although the channel exists on the surface, it is closed due to special reasons. I can only find a way to go through it... I

I want to make money from someone, the uncle of a friend of mine... Money matters are easy to talk about."

The other party's tone was difficult.

"I know, Xiaonian, I know that your leader has said harsh words, and I also know that the current situation is not good, but I am very sincere."

The other person's tone was embarrassing.

"That's not what I meant. Usually when you hire someone to do something, you have to pay for a meal, let alone such a difficult thing. You look down on money. Maybe there are too many people who look down on money. This money makes them

To help accommodate."

How can someone not love money?

The other party's tone was further embarrassing.

"If it's really inconvenient for you, I won't force you. We are friends and I won't fall out with you just because of this... You know what I do. Sometimes I just can't help myself in the world.

...Then let's do it, the weather is bad today, you should go to bed early after work."

The other party stopped him and agreed to his request in a "difficult" tone.

"Thank you, Xiaonian, let's talk when we meet."

Thomas Gilbert hung up the phone and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

The person he contacted was not a big shot in the Mechanical Hive Prison, nor was he a key jailer who held the key to the cell, but just an ordinary low-level civilian employee.

This is a grassroots civilian employee of the Mechanical Hive Prison with no foundation. When he entered the prison, he had already been picked out by the logistics center and had three generations of ancestors. The prison leaders knew him well and knew that he had no background and would not do anything too outrageous.

Things happened, so he became "one of his own".

It is most appropriate for such a person to intercede and accomplish something through channels invisible to outsiders——

Even though he is just a grassroots civilian employee, he is also one of the logistics center's "own people". He is already very different from other people outside the logistics center - the logistics center is incredibly tolerant of its own people. This is Thomas Gill

A fact that Bert couldn't understand at all.

For some sensitive things, some people can do it, and some people can't do it. All of this is going on according to some subtle rules. If you understand it, you can use it. If you don't understand it, it will lose some conveniences that are unimaginable.

channel.

Thomas Gilbert thought he had realized this, so ever since the news about the mechanical hive changed, he had been trying to develop his own network of contacts.

Xiaonian was an unexpected gain for him. At that time, he had just obtained a piece of Tuo land through trading, and happened to meet Xiaonian who was looking for loans to treat his mother's illness. The loan business had been run by Tuo Di's gang, so Thomas Gill

After listening to the other party's story, Bert was so generous that he gave the other party a large sum of money in the form of an interest-free loan - a large sum of "charitable money" that only the young man did not know what it meant.

When Xiaonian used money to treat his mother's illness, he accepted Thomas Gilbert's favor, and the latter handled the favor very steadily - just enough to allow the other person to do things for him without making the other person feel uncomfortable.

Embarrassing situation - he never asked Xiaonian to help with things. He only contacted him frequently and asked about his mother's condition. He developed his own favors in an Asian way. Until now, at this critical moment, he let that favor

Maximize value.

After waiting patiently for an hour, Thomas Gilbert received a call from Xiaonian. After listening to the good news on the phone, he thanked him in the most sincere tone, then put on mink velvet, arranged his tie, and put on a

Wear a black gentleman's hat and head to the Mechanical Hive Prison.

…

The time came to around 8:50, and there was still 1 hour and 40 minutes before [Apa Kalops] landed on Days Island.

The Mechanical Hive is very expensive on land, but as a profit-making organization—in fact, it is the leader among the most profitable institutions in the logistics center—Dice Island Prison is still built in the worst area of ​​the entire Mechanical Hive—Area A.

On the lower floor, there is no sunlight all year round. The only thing surrounding the sealed wall here is a turbid and ugly vortex that is opaque to light.

Using the worst land to make the most profitable business, and doing well, Thomas Gilbert thought this was a very clever method.

Due to the high-power water conservancy generator, the whirlpool under the mechanical honeycomb is always involved in a large number of corpses of fish, shrimps, crabs and various marine creatures. Visitors here only need to shine a flashlight into it, and they will be surprised to realize that they have entered a world of

A huge grave surrounded by the carcasses of marine creatures.

Thomas Gilbert followed Xiaonian through the dim corridor. The vibration caused by the approaching [Apkalops] was transmitted here through the outer wall of the mechanical honeycomb, and appeared at his feet, blending with the dim light in the corridor.

It's unsettling.

"I have already said hello to the director, and he will bring that person to meet you in the reception room..."

After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice again:

"Now is not a good time. There have been several meetings at the top, and the most emphasized issue is the control of violent prisoners... Fortunately, the warden went to the meeting tonight, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to get in through this door."

Thomas Gilbert said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Xiaonian got a little angry. But after all, he has a short tongue, so he could only swallow the two points of anger and said in a tone that sounded as gentle as possible:

"You said before that you wanted to release the person on bail. I expressed this intention to the director. The director's attitude was unprecedentedly tough... This matter must not be done. The warden had previously emphasized the recent situation in a meeting with the people below.

The bail issue... means that the situation is very serious and the bail channel is temporarily closed - this is rigid."

"I can only guarantee that you will see that person...other than that, I can't guarantee anything else."

When the Asian young man said the last words, his voice was a little embarrassed. This embarrassment was mixed with nervousness, fear and depression due to helplessness.

He didn't want to do it, he didn't want to do such a dangerous thing at such a sensitive time - both he and Thomas Gilbert knew this.

"Thanks."
