Battle of Wang Mang

The headquarters of the Haiwei Mini Industrial Shelter is located on one side of the gate, providing the best view of the entire shelter from the main command room. The core headquarters below it is protected by layers of steel plates, which can resist military missile attacks.

The command center has a powerful weapon protection firepower network both externally and internally within the shelter. Missiles, heavy machine guns, heavy artillery and other types of heavy firepower deployment can be said to be the safest place in the entire shelter, second only to the underground machine room.

At this point, Shen Liansheng, Song Ren, and others had already returned to the command center. Even though they had control of the armed forces of the entire shelter, Shen Liansheng still dared not hold his niece accountable.

Outside the door, Song Ren was furious when he heard the soldier's report and said, "What? There's no trace of Shen Jiayi and Tom in the entire Ninth Base? How could that be? You bunch of trash! Have the tracking awakeners in the Eighth Courtyard gone to see them?"

"Checked and confirmed to be correct, no targets 1 and 2 were found!" The officer remained calm in the face of Song Ren's anger. He is a true soldier, who was the deputy of Special Investigation Department No.1 more than a month ago. Now that No.1 has died, he has defected to Song Ren.

Song Ren was accompanied by a small foreign mercenary, Angus Promir, dressed in a seductive outfit. He was Song Ren's mistress and also his bodyguard.

Song Ren is bisexual, and as long as he meets his aesthetic standards, he will accept both men and women.

Angus leaned on his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't get angry... Think about it, the cunning rabbit cave. Shen Jiayi, that witch, is so cunning that she doesn't even know how many secret passages have been secretly built in various facilities in the shelter. Most likely, she and that little white faced girl escaped from the secret passage."

"Hi... what should we do?" Song Ren turned around and saw his boss Shen Liansheng staring expressionlessly at the data panel with a pipe in his mouth. He couldn't guess how angry the boss was.

Angus cleared his throat and said, "What else can we do? Please activate the first level alarm for the shelter, mobilize all armed forces, and in addition to strengthening the security level of each base and research institute, dispatch various troops to conduct carpet style searches throughout the shelter. The armed drones will take off to alert, and once the target is detected, they can launch a siege."

Song Ren hesitated for a moment and said, "Is that going to be a battle against Wang Mang?"

The Battle of Wang Mang was drafted by Song Ren and led by Shen Liansheng. The core of the entire battle plan was to carry out armed seizure of power, capture or kill Shen Jiayi, and all the forces loyal to her. This naturally included the management personnel serving in various departments, and now also includes Tom's friends.

At the same time, it will also be announced to the public that mutated individuals who are dissatisfied with the suppression of the shelter have transformed into Shen Jiayi and seized power in the base. Require all citizens to immediately report Shen Jiayi to the nearest security post and engage in a nationwide encirclement campaign.

Thanks to the credit of the elite special zone established by Song Ren in the beginning, the people have long been dissatisfied with the privileges of the elite class in the shelter. More than a month ago, Shen Liansheng's repeated actions successfully shifted this dissatisfaction to the contradiction between the ordinary people and the awakened group. After taking control of Shen Jiayi, Yang Caishan was asked to publicly announce multiple policies to strengthen the awakened, ranging from people's livelihoods to the management of Haiwei Mini Industry, in the guise of Shen Jiayi. It can be said that this comprehensively intensified the conflict between ordinary citizens and the awakened behind her.

In addition, the self-improvement association led by Ni Peiyun in private has many believers among the people in the shelter. Through these believers, Ni Peiyun successfully portrayed Shen Jiayi as a dictatorial ruler with a cold and beautiful appearance, a promiscuous and immoral personality in private, addicted to male sexuality and ignoring government affairs and the suffering of the people.

At the same time, there are rumors that Shen Jiayi began to distrust ordinary people in order to maintain the rule of the shelter, and wanted to elevate all awakened individuals to the elite class, raising them as cattle, sheep, and slaves. Combined with animals and insects eating humans to produce crystals, the Awakened One needs the common sense of crystals to successfully make the public regard Shen Jiayi as the Great Demon King.

After Shen Liansheng took control of Shen Jiayi, this series of rumors began to spread comprehensively and successfully caused panic among the citizens.

From official rhetoric to folk criticism, Shen Jiayi quickly transformed from a cold faced Virgin Mary to a notorious cannibal witch in just one month.

At this moment, as long as Shen Jiayi walks on the street, she will definitely be ignored by everyone and will report her movements as soon as possible.

Once Wang Mang's campaign was launched, it meant tearing apart his face and engaging in a full-scale war with Shen Jiayi and his legitimate troops. Angus's proposal made Song Ren both afraid and pleased. Fortunately, their boss, Shen Liansheng, the uncle of Shen Jiayi, made the final decision. Song Ren immediately turned around and walked in, approaching Shen Liansheng respectfully, saying, "Shen Jiayi may have escaped from the secret passage of Base 9... Boss, we are already on the verge of firing arrows now, why not... launch the Wang Mang battle?"

Shen Liansheng turned to look at him for a few seconds, which scared him into a cold sweat before nodding; "Call Harris Paine in and I will authorize the launch of the Wang Mang operation!"

"Yes!" Song Ren was overjoyed and turned to wave his hand, gesturing for Angus to call someone.

Harris Paine was the commander of the Foreign Mercenary Corps, who not only controlled Shen Jiayi but also seized command of the armed forces in the shelter. Among them, the commander in chief was Shen Jiayi's first officer in the Personal Security Special Investigation Department. Almost at the same time as Shen Jiayi was under house arrest, No.1 and several of his comrades were killed in this command room. Of course, even if the mercenary commander Harris personally led the attack, Song Ren paid the price of over fifty soldiers and four mercenaries dying.

This is still a trap, the result obtained from launching a sudden attack, and the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers in the Special Investigation Department is indeed very strong.

Number 1 died, and Shen Liansheng's most trusted Harris naturally became the overall commander of this command center.

When Shen Liansheng authorized the launch of a full-scale war against Shen Jiayi, Shen Jiayi was driving an electric bike with Tom on the streets of Hope Town.

As Angus expected, they did indeed leave through the secret passage of the base while taking advantage of the chaos.

Shen Jiayi has stored a map of the entire Morikawa City in his mind, compared to the 3800 square meter map and building map of the shelter, which is naturally a small idea.

The exit is located in a remote property in Hope Town, equipped with weapons and crystals, as well as transportation. After such a long period of turmoil, the person on duty inside has disappeared without a trace.

Tom brought food weapons and crystals, drove an electric bike with Shen Jiayi to the second secret safe house that Liu Lian had purchased in Hope Town.

He didn't know if Natasha had successfully connected with the owner of the house next to Shen Jiayi's villa. The only solution now was to find a way to contact Liu Lian and others first, and then find a solution.

With it on, the large horn on the ceiling of the shelter began broadcasting, first with a long alarm sound, and then announcing that the shelter was on emergency alert, requiring all passersby to immediately return to their homes. The sentries in various places have begun to fully enforce martial law and closely inspect all people.

"They're starting to look for us!" Shen Jiayi immediately realized the key issue. "It's faster than I expected and well prepared."

Tom watched the pedestrians rushing into the house on the street, frowning and asking, "What should we do now?"

"This." Shen Jiayi held up a light yellow chip.

"What is this?"

"The crystal energy signal devices distributed by Lin Meiqi to various places can obtain the color signals she sends out in the shelter. The three short and one long lights represent an emergency gathering." She was speaking as the lenses quickly started to light up and turn off, and a cycle happened to be the three short and one long ones she introduced, which means that Lin Meiqi's side began to send gathering signals.

"Liu Lian and his team were on guard," Tom was very pleased. "They expected this day to come."

"I provided them with a lot of resources through an agent, so I got a few pieces of this thing, and then I made some modifications. You drive the car over there under the tree, and I'll contact her to see what's going on."

Tom drove the car to the spot she had designated and stopped. She held his hand, and a familiar sense of comfort swept over him. He followed suit and closed his eyes.

This was a void, where he held hands with Shen Jiayi. Soon, the void also appeared, revealing familiar faces. The person was pleasantly surprised when they saw them, and then transformed into an extremely disgusted expression. "You two dog men and women finally appeared!"

That person is exactly Lin Meiqi. Shen Jiayi's so-called transformation is to expand the crystal energy signal receiving device made by Lin Meiqi into a signal transmitting device, and apply for a communication request from the spiritual world to Lin Meiqi in the opposite direction of the transmitting source. Lin Meiqi has already experienced Shen Jiayi's intrusion behavior, so naturally she is very disgusted. Now seeing Tom holding hands with Shen Jiayi, it's even more jealous.

"Meiqi, long time no see! You're losing weight!" Tom saw the familiar person and was naturally overjoyed. He was afraid of coming back too late, and Liu Lianlin, Meiqi, and others had already been controlled by Shen Liansheng.

"Hmph, you've been running out for so long. I thought you went to see your sister at a German orthopedic clinic, but now you've actually come back. Why does your sister find you too dull and don't want you?"

Tom chuckled, "It's not the time to talk about this right now. What's the situation on your end? Shen Jiayi and I have escaped from Shen Liansheng's prison, and we're about to get together."

"Hmph," Lin Meiqi waited for Shen Jiayi for a glance. "I knew it was a fake outside. It was too late. Mr. Shen, your troops are dead and defected. Ordinary citizens also hate you as the head of the Silver Luan female demon. Almost everyone in the entire shelter hates you to the bone, and it's not realistic to want to turn things around."

Driving the tram along the way, Shen Jiayi also heard and saw some resentment from the citizens towards her. Shen Liansheng dared to launch a comprehensive search and was definitely well prepared. She nodded and said, "I know the only solution at the moment is to escape here first. Shen Liansheng must have hidden in the indestructible finger control, even if I have all the personnel in the special investigation department, I may not be able to attack."

Lin Meiqi was happy to see Shen Jiayi collapse. She smiled and said, "We have four escape plans, although none of them are ideal, they are better than waiting for death."

Shen Jiayi smiled and said, "I have already had an escape plan, but considering the current situation, it's a bit difficult to reach that place. Shen Liansheng must have sent heavy troops to guard it."

"Haha, there's an address here. You can go over and meet us. There will be a big surprise for Tom there. It will definitely make Shen Liansheng's people look disheveled!"

Shen Jiayi glanced at the roadmap constructed by Lin Meiqi and immediately smiled knowingly. "This is also one of my backup plans, and of course, it is also the emergency plan I provided to you. Well, with the Sea King, Tom can indeed show his skills, and my Ark Escape Plan is more guaranteed. Alright, let's set off now. There are many people on your side, so be more careful! And... thank you, Meiqi!"

Lin Meiqi glanced at her and waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, we don't need you to worry. Tom, be careful when you drive, those bastards don't even care about humanity."
