I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 171: Exploitation


In fact, the reason why the riot has grown to such a large scale is also due to Yun You's help.

When she first arrived at the mine, she saw these civilians who had lost their loved ones.

At that time, their numbers were not as large as they are now, only a few hundred people, and most of them were the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

This was completely different from what Yun You understood.

Over the decades, the number of people who died in the mouth of the Tai Sui exceeds one or two thousand, even conservatively estimated, it was over five thousand.

Even if their family members are not in the tens of thousands, there are at least thousands, so why are there so few people left seeking justice?

However, after a little inquiry, Yun You knew the reason.

Initially, there were indeed many workers' families camping at the mine entrance, trying to get an explanation.

But long-term protests brought no compensation.

After all, one still needs food and fuel to maintain their livelihood.

So in the end, most of the young and strong workers' relatives could only give up demanding rights and found odd jobs nearby, leaving only a few who couldn't work, like old folks and children, to continue seeking compensation here.

But a brief departure did not mean that people had let go of their hatred.

On the contrary, under enormous life pressure, anger and resentment only accumulated more.

People haven't given up; it's just that they are forced by life circumstances to endure silently.

And Yun You came to offer them a chance for justice.

The little girl did nothing too outrageous; she merely had Frost Moon control an anonymous drone to spread a message among the crowd.

"Tiger Head Heavy Industry and past mining companies have frequently ignored production safety, and there have been countless accidents over the decades, accumulating numerous grievances in major mines."

"To avoid compensation, Tiger Head Heavy Industry buried bodies in mass graves and even threw some injured workers into them, letting them die underground to save on medical expenses."

"Recently, to destroy evidence, Tiger Head Heavy Industry might detonate the mines, burying all their crimes underground."

"At that time, the workers' remains will never see the light of day, and their grievances will be buried along with the evidence."

This news left people unable to sit still any longer.

They had persisted for so many years to seek truth and justice.

But if things were indeed as the message said, and Tiger Head Heavy Industry intended to destroy evidence, then they would have no hope of further investigation.

If the bodies disappeared, no matter how hard they tried to investigate, there would be no conclusive evidence.

Thus, they dared not delay and immediately informed their relatives and friends.

One told ten, ten told a hundred.

In just a few hours, this message spread widely among the people seeking justice.

The young and strong could no longer care about their work and gathered at the gate, forming an unprecedented force continuously pounding the gate.

This was the result Yun You wanted to see.

Her use of words was precise.

First, she didn't disclose anything about "Tai Sui," only mentioning that many safety accidents happened in the mines, something most miners knew, though they lacked conclusive evidence.

This way, even if Yang Lie and others got wind of the message, they wouldn't suspect Yun You at first.

Secondly, although the message contained fabrication, it was mixed with truth.

The mass graves weren't real, but countless people died in the No. 21 mine shaft.

Likewise, "detonating the mine" might not be true, but once Tai Sui was refined into a drug, to destroy evidence, Yang Lie and Xie Kang would undoubtedly bury Yangshan Town completely.

In a way, these events were likely to happen.

Yun You simply spoke the truth.

Then Yun You and her companion took the opportunity to blend into the group of illegal workers seeking jobs, trying to slip into the mine.

But then again, that chief of security, Old Wang, dared to harm children in front of everyone, which was something Yun You hadn't expected.

She overestimated these people's bottom line...

However, in a way, it helped her.

The enraged civilians would only unleash a more astonishing destructive power, creating greater chaos.

As for personally taking down Old Wang…well, that was just something Yun You wanted to do.

She wouldn't spare Yang Lie and his lackeys.

And since she had decided to eliminate them entirely, then the first to die would be this watchdog!

Anyway, after today, no one would investigate the murderers.

Though all these actions might seem like exploiting civilians, Yun You didn't care about that at the moment.

All she thought about was how to take revenge.

Centered on herself, she could use anything to achieve her goal without being bound by morality or emotion.

That's what they call the "King."

Thinking about it… her thoughts had been deeply influenced by the awareness of "desire" and "King."

"Let's go, Frost Moon."

Looking at the increasingly chaotic situation in front of her, Yun You shook her head gently.

"Yang Lie and Xie Kang should all be gathered in the 'Headquarters Building' now; let's take advantage of the chaos and sneak in."

"Implement the plan as discussed earlier, be cautious, and gradually block external communications. But don't reveal any flaws, at least not within these few hours, don't leave traces that someone could discover."

"Got it!"

Frost Moon made an "OK" gesture, rubbing her fists eagerly: "Leave the technical stuff to me! You focus on handling the 'people' aspect!"

"Hmm."

Yun You responded, then took a deep breath and started to sneak towards the distant Headquarters Building with Frost Moon.

...

In Nest City No. 3, Tiger Head Heavy Industry Group might not be a giant, far from being a colossal enterprise, but in this small G District and even in the Central City area, it still had some influence.

After all, it monopolized the mining industry in Zone G, supplying raw materials to several large corporations.

Because of this, the Headquarters Building, located at the very heart of the mine by Tiger Head Heavy Industry, was built remarkably grand.

A skyscraper about three hundred meters tall, its main structure constructed entirely of silver alloy, with capabilities like explosion-proofing, anti-corrosion, and radiation shielding.

In this area where most buildings were low dormitories and tin dormitories, it appeared extraordinarily majestic, like a proud fierce beast standing on the earth, overlooking the masses below.

Looking across the entire district, perhaps only Black Tiger Yang Lie's private estate could compare with its opulence.

Interestingly, Yang Lie really loved to acquire real estate in bulk, constructing this billion Silver Cannon-valued building and that equally expensive estate all within the year since he took office.

Normally, as a leader of a company, not investing in building the enterprise but rather buying real estate in large quantities would clearly give an impression of "lack of confidence in the company."

But due to Yang Lie's personal presence, those reporters ultimately didn't dare raise any doubts.
