Chapter 200: The sudden change in the bottom nest is suspected to be heresy
The chain drove the huge gear to rotate, and the elevator gate leading to the bottom nest opened with a roar.
Andrei Lermontov, who was wearing a finely crafted power armor that only law enforcement officers were qualified to wear, strode out of the elevator and glanced around with a cold gaze.
Behind him stood two personal guards also wearing advanced power armor, as well as a team of armed men from the Lower Nest vassal families.
"Master Andre."
The captain of the guard stationed at the elevator stood at attention and saluted when he saw Andrei Lermontov.
"Captain Kaspersky, what's going on with the bottom nest recently?"
"It's still the same... but it's a lot quieter than before, and there are fewer people who want to come to the nest to do business."
"Oh right. It seems that a few major gangs had a fight not long ago, and then it was over. It is said that a new strong man has come..."
The captain of the guard told the other party everything he knew.
Andre nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. Keep working."
After leaving the inspection checkpoint, Andre led his men into the bottom nest and headed towards the core area.
The core area is also the commercial area, the area with the best location and living conditions in the bottom nest. All the major gangs run their own businesses here.
Some of the residents of the Diwo who were encountered on the road would consciously avoid Andre and keep their distance.
This group of people are well-equipped and powerful. At first glance, they are strong men coming from above. Anyone with a little bit of foresight would not seek trouble with them.
Andre had just walked a short distance when his brows began to furrow.
——Something’s wrong. Something’s very wrong.
Why has the bottom nest changed so much?
The bottom nest that I remembered as dark and narrow, with complex pipelines and crisscrossing corridors and stairs has changed a lot.
Many structures were demolished, floors were opened up and widened, and the load-bearing structures were reinforced. It seemed as if it had just undergone a large-scale renovation, and the view became open and bright.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Andre felt that even the originally moldy and smelly air had become much fresher.
Walking in it, Andre felt as if he was back in Shangchao. Some of the areas in Shangchao were old and not even as clean as here.
【If you want to get rich, start farming. 】
【The people of Dichao must hold their rice bowls firmly in their own hands. 】
[Unity is strength, only idiots fight among themselves. ]
[Believe in science and gain eternal life!]
【May the great emperor grant us wisdom and courage! 】
【Down with all the monsters and demons! 】
Along the way, you can see all kinds of bright slogans painted in red, white or yellow paint everywhere in Dichao. Some of them look awe-inspiring and inspiring.
Andre felt like he had strayed into some fanatical religious base, but it seemed a little different.
The originally dim underground city was equipped with lighting in many places. The white light was bright and soft, and the depressing and dark atmosphere of the bottom nest that had existed for a long time also disappeared.
The fighting and killings that were usually seen everywhere suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if all the people in Dichao had become good citizens.
[What is going on? Where do these untouchables get so much electricity? ]
[I haven't been here for a few months, but the bottom nest has changed so much! ]
[Could this all be related to the mechanical priest that my father asked me to investigate? ]
With full of doubts, Andre found his old acquaintance in the Dihei, who was also his loyal lackey. O'Neal Shaq, the boss of the Iron Hand Gang, the most powerful gang in the Dihei.
When they arrived at the Shark Gang's territory, they found that the bald strong man was playing a novel tabletop game with several gang leaders.
"Ninety thousand."
"bump!"
"Four."
"Bullshit!"
O'Neill's face flushed, and he looked excited as if he had just earned millions of Hive Coins. He laughed and pushed down the row of small cubes in front of him that were engraved with strange rune patterns. The other people paid the bill with a sullen look on their faces.
"Shaq Shaq."
Hearing the voice, the bald strong man looked up unhappily. When he saw Andre, his face suddenly changed. He put on a playful smile and walked forward to greet him enthusiastically.
"Master Andre! How come you have time to come down and play today?"
Andre looked serious, "O'Neill, what happened to the bottom nest? Why did it become like this?"
"Uh..." The bald man scratched his head in embarrassment, thought for a moment and said, "It's a long story..."
O'Neill slowly told Andre the whole story.
Clark Kent?
A twelve-year-old Mechanicus priest?
Big infrastructure? New order?
The more Andre listened, the more frightened he became.
According to O'Neill, an unprecedented strong man has indeed appeared in the Bottom Nest recently. He is a young man who has mastered powerful technology. He is proficient in weapons, machinery, medicine, and construction. He controls a powerful army of robots and forcefully intervenes in the rule of the Bottom Nest, ordering everyone to abide by the [New Order of the Bottom Nest] he has formulated.
Originally, the people of Dichao were a bunch of fearless, disobedient bad guys, but what he offered was so much that no one could refuse.
- He taught the technology of growing new crops for free, directed everyone to transform the bottom nest water, electricity and air circulation system, greatly improved everyone's living conditions, set up a public hospital, and provided credit assistance to everyone.
After this series of combined punches, the people of the Bottom Nest immediately lived a "settled and happy" life that they had never dared to think of before, and Clark Kent's prestige in the Bottom Nest instantly reached its peak. Everyone was grateful to this young man.
Even if the gang leaders wanted to take action against this young man now, they would probably shoot him down with guns before he even steps out of the gang gate.
——Who doesn’t have parents, children, brothers and sisters who need to eat and live? People below join gangs just to make a living for themselves and their families.
If the bosses dare to touch the "great saint" who has given them a good life, the grassroots gang members will be the first to resist!
[Damn it! This guy is definitely a heretic! ]
Andre couldn't help but think with gritted teeth in his heart.
If it was in the empire, the Inquisition would have come to the door long ago and scattered the ashes. But in Hades, a place far away from the emperor, the Inquisition could not intervene.
But what does this guy want to do by doing so many things?
They secretly control the bottom nest and promote various new technologies and new rules to win people's hearts.
Could it be that this guy wants to rebel?
"Where is this man? I want to see him with my own eyes."
"Uh. Master Andre, you'd better take it easy and not get into conflict with him."
"I'm not meddling in other people's business. I'm just worried that you'll suffer. You may not know that this kid is wearing a strange set of equipment that's even more powerful than the Angel of Judgment..."
O'Neill talked about how Kraken made power armor for the young men in the Weak Mutual Aid Society, and that there were all kinds of incredible mechanical creations around them.
After hearing this, Andre's expression became even more serious.
"Thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention to it."
[It seems that we can’t use force…]
Knowing that the elite team he brought with him might not be enough to defeat the enemy, Andre decided to keep a low profile. He put on a vest he often used when traveling around the world, pretending to be a traveling merchant from a trade union, and paid a polite visit with gifts.
"Please inform us that we are representatives of the trade union and would like to discuss business with Mr. Clark."
Andre's polite attitude helped him meet the mysterious young man who was stirring up the storm in the bottom nest as he wished.
Andre was surprised at the first sight.
The transcendent temperament that naturally exuded from the other person definitely showed that he was a big shot from an extraordinary background, perhaps even more noble than the aristocrats of his supreme family.
It is very likely that he is a noble person from the core area of the empire...
