Chapter 277: Some People Always Think that My Intentions Are Not Pure
The sudden riot caught Qi Yiming off guard.
For such a large-scale riot, there must be someone behind it, but Qi Yiming racked his brains and couldn't figure out what these people were doing.
"No matter what, control the riot first, arrest those who should be arrested, and imprison those who should be imprisoned." Qi Yiming said to Fang Min, who was sweating profusely.
After Fang Min left, the internal security forces soon went to the streets under the command of Chen Cheng to suppress the riot.
From the perspective of force allocation, it should be very simple for the internal security forces to suppress this riot.
But unexpectedly, in the core urban area of Hope, the internal security forces suffered fierce resistance and suffered some casualties.
This surprised Qi Yiming a little. He didn't expect that these behind-the-scenes pushers actually had some force.
In addition, they occupied the energy center of the core urban area of Hope, which is where the vacuum zero-point energy extraction device is placed.
Chen Cheng's attack seemed a little timid, for fear of damaging the machines behind these people.
When Qi Yiming arrived at the scene, seven or eight of Chen Cheng's trusted men had died, and they were pointing at the opposite side and cursing angrily.
"Come out if you dare..."
"I won't go out! Come in if you dare..."
Qi Yiming was both angry and amused by this kind of quarreling and cursing.
He came to Chen Cheng, took the megaphone and shouted to the people on the opposite side: "I am Qi Yiming, let the people behind you come out to negotiate."
"Behind? What behind?" The people in the building responded loudly.
Qi Yiming smiled disdainfully and continued: "Stop acting, you can't get so many weapons to arm yourself."
Qi Yiming had already understood the equipment level of this group of people before coming.
There were probably more than 20 people inside with electromagnetic assault rifles, with an average of two magazines per person. According to Chen Cheng's observation, the leader was likely to have a high-explosive grenade and an EMP grenade in his hand.
Qi Yiming was also very curious about how these people rushed in.
The zero-point energy extraction device is the lifeblood of the fleet, and Qi Yiming will definitely arrange heavy troops to guard it.
But the news from Chen Cheng was true. Today, the guards on duty suddenly attacked during the shift change. Qi Yiming realized that there was a mole inside the internal security force.
But now is not the time to pursue responsibility.
Qi Yiming picked up the loudspeaker again and shouted at the facade of the building: "Everything can be discussed. You must know the importance of the zero-point energy extraction device to the fleet. If it is damaged, everyone will die sooner or later."
"Don't be alarmist. What is your purpose in dragging everyone away from their homes with you?"
Qi Yiming was asked this question. What purpose could he have? Isn't it just to save more lives and then counterattack the swarm?
Only to hear the people in the building continue to say: "The swarm is not as terrible as you say. Just look at your Xuefeng. It can blow up a planet, but it actually tells us that the worms are extremely brutal and humans must escape?"
Qi Yiming was speechless. How could a person be so ignorant?
"We want to go back..." The people in the building continued to shout, and even his companions shouted together.
"Go back? Do you know how much supplies are needed to go back from here?" Chen Cheng seemed to know the people in the building, and he tried to persuade them earnestly.
Qi Yiming kicked Chen Cheng and glared at him, saying, "What's there to comfort with a bunch of idiots?"
Then he picked up the megaphone and continued, "It's impossible to send you back, but I can promise you and the people behind you that I will keep you after finding a planet suitable for human habitation."
"Do you think we are stupid? What's on the new habitable planet? What's the difference between sending us to a new planet and sending us to die?"
Qi Yiming smiled and muttered softly, "It seems that these people are not really stupid."
"We have only one condition, give us a colonization spaceship, and we go back by ourselves."
Qi Yiming still has a few idle small colonization spaceships in his hands, and it's not impossible to give them one.
But he has to ensure that these people must be the last batch, because Qi Yiming has been tired of the internal consumption of human beings. Since some people are unwilling to believe in themselves and clamor to go back to die, he doesn't mind sending these people a way.
"Since you want to go back so much, I won't stop you. Let the people behind you come out and discuss the details with me, otherwise you will get nothing."
The people in the building were silent for a while, apparently negotiating with their boss behind the scenes.
Half an hour later, a group of successful people dressed in gorgeous clothes and well-mannered came out from the other direction of the core area of Hope.
"Hello, President... My name is..."
A middle-aged bald man walked out of the crowd and was about to introduce himself. Qi Yiming waved his hand: "I don't want to know your name or what you are capable of. Just tell me your conditions."
The man smiled and said: "The President is a straightforward person. We don't care what you want to do by coercing humans. We just want to return to the star field that belongs to humans."
"Okay... I promise you."
"Thank you, President, but you give us a small colonial spaceship, and the warehouse is full of energy blocks enough for us to go back."
Qi Yiming nodded: "I agree to your conditions, but you have to take away all those who want to go with you."
"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't have made such a big fuss."
"Give you three days to evacuate."
"For our safety, our people have to stay at the vacuum zero point to absorb the equipment during these three days."
Qi Yiming's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Don't push yourself too far!!"
"We are not stupid. The riot on the Yunhuan has just passed not long ago." The bald man looked at Qi Yiming with a smile on his face: "But don't worry, Head of State, if you don't touch us, we will never destroy the equipment. Yes, don’t think that these people will be persuaded by you and their families will evacuate with us.”
Qi Yiming stared at the man for a long time before he said a few words through his teeth: "I'm just waiting to see how you die..."
The bald man still had a warm smile on his face: "After three days, Mr. Yuan, please return these people to us. After all, whether they are there at that time will no longer mean anything to you."
Qi Yiming nodded and ignored the group, turned around and left the scene.
Chen Cheng caught up with him in two steps: "Just let these people leave like this?"
Qi Yiming glanced at him: "You didn't know that there was such a group of people in your team?"
Cheng Chen shrank his neck and was about to explain, but he heard Qi Yiming continue: "Send them away. Some people want to die, but we can't stop them."
"What about the people guarding the equipment?"
"Assign people to guard the surroundings. If you have a chance to capture it, take action decisively. But don't act recklessly. The lives of these people are not as good as a screw on the vacuum zero-point energy extractor."
Chen Cheng nodded and turned back to the negotiation site to arrange security matters.
After Qi Yiming returned to the office, he immediately arranged for Fang Min and Wang Sen to handle the matter according to each other's requirements, and told them not to embarrass these people. The first priority was to get rid of these scourges safely. What will happen later Chongzi went to take care of these people himself.
