The Battle of Blacklight City alarmed the entire Federation Resistance Army.
Early the next morning, when Chen Chen woke up from the Blacklight Fully-automated Medical Equipment, he immediately saw a familiar girl appear in front of Chen Chen.
This girl had a stunning appearance, with a hint of playfulness and a hint of cleverness. Her hair was as soft as silk. The moment Chen Chen saw the girl, he suddenly fell into a trance.
“X？”
Immediately, Chen Chen frowned. The girl in front of him was naturally not X.
"I'm X-112, Sir Commander."
The girl bowed her head. "This body is X's and has been frozen like the Black Knight."
Only then did Chen Chen nod.
"By the way, Sir Commander."
X-112 continued. "The venue for the public trial conference has been prepared. On the side of the Joint Resistance Army, the other four forces have been contacting us since early morning. They have received the news that Blacklight City has been captured. Those people want to speak to you and at the same time, they hope that you can focus on the overall situation."
"There's no need to speak to them. I'll naturally go to them later."
Chen Chen said coldly, "Is there anything else?"
"Also, your cousin Chen Shan and your cousin Chen Zheng, who have settled in another survivor city, have also returned. They also want to see you."
"Chen Shan and Chen Zheng?"
Chen Chen frowned with a headache when he heard this. "So they're still alive? They're not involved in the politics of Blacklight City? "
"No."
X-112 shook his head. "Everything here was built by Chen Zeyu. In the beginning, they were expelled from the management core of Blacklight City. Chen Zheng also held a position in Blacklight City for a period of time, but he also retired more than two hundred years ago. Most of the people arrested today are Chen Zeyu's descendants. Only a very small number are the descendants of Chen Shan and Chen Zheng."
"That's good."
Chen Chen nodded. "These two want to see me, nothing more than to intercede on behalf of a junior. Tell them that I will definitely punish those who deserve to be punished, but I won't kill those who don't deserve to die. Tell them to rest assured."
As he spoke, Chen Chen waved X-112 away, went downstairs, got into the car, and walked toward the arranged venue for the public trial conference.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the prison near Blacklight City...
"Uncle Chen Zheng, Aunty Chen Shan, please, put in a good word for Uncle Chen Chen and let us out! I am your most beloved Xinghua! "
In a cell, Chen Zheng and Chen Shan were standing in front of the door of the cell. Inside the cell was a middle-aged man with a pale face and a panicked expression.
This middle-aged man was called Chen Xinghua, and he was Chen Zeyu's youngest son.
"Fool!"
There was a hint of anger in Chen Zheng's eyes. "Everything you have was inherited from Blacklight Biotechnology and Blacklight Biotechnology was founded by Chen Chen. How dare you try to monopolize it? The core intelligence of the city is all his people. It's fine if he didn't return, but now that he's back, how dare you? "
"Big Uncle, I was wrong …"
Chen Xinghua's eyes were filled with tears of regret. "It's not that I want to go against Second Uncle Chen Chen, but the family committee forced us to do it! Aunty Chen Shan, say something! "
"Sigh …"
Chen Shan shook her head. She was dressed like a young woman at this time, but she exuded an elegant air of nobility. "We haven't seen Cousin Chen Chen for nearly four hundred years. I'm not sure if our words are still useful."
"We can give it a try!"
Hearing the softening in Chen Shan's words, Chen Xinghua suddenly burst into tears of joy. He pressed himself against the transparent barrier, deforming his entire face. "Also, my father is the younger brother of Second Uncle Chen Chen. He won't kill us regardless of our sibling relationship, right?"
Chen Shan became even more silent when she heard these words.
"I'm asking you now, you must answer me honestly."
Chen Zheng frowned and asked, "After Chen Chen appeared, did you have a plan to kill Chen Chen?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Chen Xinghua shook his head vigorously, shaking off his snot and tears. "I absolutely didn't have such an idea!"
"Then maybe there's hope!"
Chen Zheng's eyes lit up. If he could preserve some of the Chen family's bloodline, Chen Zheng still wanted to do his part.
On the side, Chen Shan's face also flashed with a trace of pity.
In the past three hundred years, their children had already bloomed everywhere. Naturally, they had watched some of them grow up, and Chen Xinghua was one of their most beloved ones.
When Chen Xinghua was still young, he often visited the two of them. He was born smart and witty, and when he grew up, he was exceptionally filial and respectful to the two of them. The two of them doted on Chen Xinghua even more.
Today, Chen Xinghua was less than three hundred years old and was still a child. The two elders naturally could not bear to see Chen Xinghua possibly be executed.
However, Chen Zheng and Chen Shan still had some sense of propriety. They only planned to intercede for the Chen family. As for Chen Chen's younger brother, Chen Zeyu, neither of them had any intention of interceding.
In addition to the reason that Blacklight City dared to attack Chen Chen must be Chen Zeyu's incitement, the most important reason was that Chen Zeyu was Chen Chen's younger brother after all. No matter how cruel Chen Chen was, it was impossible for him to kill his younger brother, right?
In their opinion, at most, Chen Chen would just put Chen Zeyu under house arrest or directly demote him, making him an ordinary person.
Still, at this moment, the gate of the prison suddenly opened, and a group of Black Knights walked in with numb expressions. They opened the prison gates one by one, brought out the Chen family members detained inside, and sent them to the prison van outside the prison.
"Uncle, Aunty! Help me! "
Chen Xinghua burst into tears. When the Black Knights took him away, he grabbed the edge of the gate with all his strength, showing a pleading look to the two of them.
"Cousin..."
Chen Shan could not help grabbing Chen Zheng's sleeve, showing a look of pity.
"Don't worry, as long as you haven't done anything to Chen Chen before, we'll keep you safe even if we have to sacrifice our old faces!"
Chen Zheng said decisively, "Let's go, Cousin Chen Shan, let's go find Chen Chen now!"
The two of them hurried to the Blacklight Building with hope, but after arriving at the Blacklight Building, they were informed by X-112 that Chen Chen had left and went to the scene of the public trial conference.
X-112 arranged for the public trial conference to be held in the stadium of Blacklight City.
On the way to the stadium, they immediately saw a propaganda vehicle on the street. These propagandists were all wearing loudspeakers, which made mechanical sounds.
"At two o 'clock this afternoon, in the Blacklight Stadium, there will be a public trial conference held by the new city lord. All the members of the Chen family are invited to attend and watch... At the same time, the Blacklight Channel will also broadcast the whole process live. Please tune in!"
Not only the propaganda vehicle, but even the sirens throughout the city also sounded this voice. In order to stabilize the order of the public trial conference, X-112 also ordered an army to be dispatched to patrol the city.
Hearing that the trial turned out to be the high and mighty Chen family of Blacklight City, countless residents immediately rushed to the streets and happily rushed in the direction of the stadium. For a time, the streets were empty.
At this time, the roads near the stadium had been closed, and those who wanted to enter could only walk. However, after an hour, the stadium, which could originally accommodate tens of thousands of people, was already full. Therefore, X-112 set up a holographic projection device outside the stadium, so that those who came could directly see the scene inside the stadium on a big screen.
When Chen Zheng and Chen Shan came, the road was already blocked by the crowd. They could only find the nearby army to show their identity and ask the army to dispatch a helicopter to transport them to the venue.
However, when the two of them arrived, it was already 2: 10 in the afternoon and the public trial conference had officially begun...
At the scene of the conference, Chen Chen stepped onto the rostrum step by step. He first glanced around at the crowd. Without any opening remarks or any ceremony, he just said, "Now, the public trial conference will begin immediately!"
Following his order, more than a thousand men and women who looked miserable were detained by the army in front of the rostrum of the stadium. Most of these people had soft skin and looked like they had been pampered. They formed a sharp contrast with the ordinary people in the city.
Of course, ordinary people were not qualified to use the Blacklight Fully-automated Medical Platform. Moreover, because of the scarcity of resources in the apocalypse, the residents in the city did not have the universal conditions for anti-aging reversal treatment before the Great Fusion. Therefore, the life expectancy of ordinary people was still only about seventy or eighty years.
The Chen family, on the other hand, was like a god standing in the clouds overlooking all living beings. They could live for more than three hundred years at will. As time passed, the positions of the two sides became extreme opposites. It was just that the Chen family maintained a powerful modern force, so there were few riots.
Moreover, Chen Zeyu did have some tricks up his sleeve. He was able to build this city because he worked hard to govern it. If there were rewards, he would be rewarded, and if there were mistakes, he would be punished. He also set up a special family rule system in the family. Therefore, although there had been countless darkness and unjust cases in the family in the past three hundred years, most people could still live. Because of this, the order of Blacklight City had always been very stable.
However, for X-112, as long as everyone had a case of favoritism, fraud, or injustice, it could be traced.
At this time, the group of Chen family members stood in front of the rostrum under the custody of the Black Knights and the army. Some of these people looked numb, some had resentment in their eyes, and some were sobbing in a low voice. As they appeared, for a moment, the entire stadium was silent.
The Chen family's more than three hundred years of rule had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although they had fallen from the clouds at this time, this group of people still did not dare to be too ostentatious for fear of retaliation.
At this time, Chen Chen's gaze swept across the entire venue like a god, and then he looked at Chen Zeyu standing at the forefront. But at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind him. Chen Chen's Field energy swept behind him and immediately saw the anxious expressions of Chen Zheng and Chen Shan.
"Stop them!"
Chen Chen waved his hand and the Black Knights on the side stopped the two of them. The two of them could only worry helplessly.
Ignoring the shouts of the two, Chen Chen said in a deep voice, "Chen Xinghua, step forward!"
Two Black Knights immediately carried Chen Xinghua in the crowd to the forefront of the crowd.
"Chen Xinghua, the third mayor of Blacklight City, in office for fifty-three years."
Chen Chen said in a deep voice, his voice directly transmitted through the microphone to the entire stadium. "Since you reached adulthood, in order to satisfy your own desires, you've secretly plotted many times, forcibly abducting eighty-six women, causing the destruction of their families. In nearly three hundred years, you've directly and indirectly killed more than a thousand people. Do you plead guilty?"
"Whoa!"
The crowd in the audience suddenly burst into a fierce uproar because these things that Chen Chen said were obviously extremely secretive, even they did not know about it.
"No, I didn't, I'm innocent, Second Uncle!"
Chen Xinghua suddenly cried and shouted, "I'm innocent, if you don't believe me, ask my father, or ask my uncle and aunt!"
"Huh?"
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes when he heard these words and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes. "You still dare to deny it, do you think the city's intelligent control system is a decoration?"
With that, Chen Chen waved his hand and on the big screen next to the rostrum, sections of surveillance records began to be played. There were text annotations under these recordings, indicating which year and which month the events happened.
However, after playing for dozens of seconds, Chen Xinghua's face turned completely pale.
Faced with the iron-clad truth, he finally could not continue to deny it. Chen Zheng and Chen Shan in the backstage also stood there blankly. Although they also knew that Chen Xinghua's hands and feet were not clean, they did not expect him to kill so many people.
"Relying on the fact that you're born in the Chen family, you're lawless and insane!"
Chen Chen shouted in a deep voice, "A life for a life, I sentence you to death! Execute it immediately on the spot! "
"No... No, don't!"
Chen Xinghua shuddered when he saw the two Black Knights walking toward him with guns in their hands. When he came back to his senses, a look of extreme fear appeared on his face. "Chen Chen, I'm your nephew. Dad, Dad, come and save me!"
On the side, Chen Zeyu could not help but close his eyes, revealing a look of pain.
The Black Knights did not pay any heed to Chen Xinghua's insults. One of the Black Knights just casually pressed down, causing Chen Xinghua to kneel on the ground. Meanwhile, the other Black Knight raised his pulse rifle and pressed it against Chen Xinghua's forehead roughly.
"Dad... Uncle, Aunty..."
A dazed look appeared in Chen Xinghua's eyes. He stared blankly at the muzzle in front of him, his whole body trembling like a chaff sieve. Some people even smelled the smell of feces and urine.
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, Chen Xinghua's skull flew out directly and a large amount of white and red splattered all over the Chen family behind him!
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, countless people in the entire venue burst into a tsunami-like uproar. This group of Blacklight City residents had never thought that the Chen family, who was originally high and mighty, would die so easily in front of their eyes at this time. Moreover, it was executed by shooting!
One had to know that even if the death penalty was carried out in Blacklight City, it was only lethal injection and they had almost never heard of the Chen family being punished. In their concept of more than 300 years, the Chen family had long been determined that the Chen family was like the royal family in the feudal period, which was an existence separated from ordinary people!
And now, with this gunshot, their worldview was completely shattered!
At this moment, countless people's gazes were focused on the figure on the rostrum. It was a slender young man who seemed to be only in his twenties. However, it was this person who seemed to be a member of the Chen Family who killed his own clansmen without mercy!
Some people had a touch of horror in their eyes, but more people had a touch of excitement in their eyes, a touch of fanaticism!
However, just when the crowd burst into a tsunami-like uproar, Chen Chen continued to speak. "Chen Lin, step forward!"
The two Black Knights were expressionless as they dragged out a fat middle-aged man.
"You even killed your own nephew, you'll die a horrible death!"
As if understanding his fate, Chen Lin, who used to manage the internal affairs of the entire Blacklight City, had a touch of madness in his eyes. He roared loudly, "Chen Chen, you'll die a horrible..."
"Puff!"
Before he finished speaking, a Black Knight immediately pinched Chen Lin's chin. With a click, Chen Lin's chin was directly dislocated, showing a state of dislocation.
"Chen Lin, ninety-eight years old, Secretary General of the Internal Affairs of Blacklight City."
Faced with the responsibility of being a member of the same family, Chen Chen's eyes still did not have any fluctuations. He just said calmly, "In the thirteen years since taking office, because of selfish desires, you secretly killed fifty-eight civilians and silenced thirty-six people. Death penalty, executed immediately!"
"Ah —!"
Until now, although Chen Lin's chin had been dislocated, he still showed madness and let out a heart-wrenching roar, showing the last madness before he was born!
"Bang!"
Another gunshot sounded and Chen Lin's voice stopped abruptly. His bloated and fat body slowly fell to the ground. At this moment, a touch of despair finally appeared in the eyes of all the Chen family members present.
