As the Administrative Office was not too far away from the Life Extension Center, Jiang Fei and the others were able to walk there.
After entering the Life Extension Center, Jiang Fei realized that it was completely different from when he first started his job. At this time, the Life Extension Center was in a state of devastation. The buildings on the ground were half-destroyed, and there were traces of energy cannons blasting everywhere. There were bullet holes everywhere.
"Let's go in and take a look." Jiang Fei led the way into the building.
"This place won't collapse, right?"
"Yeah, it looks like it's going to collapse."
…
The few bureaucrats muttered as they walked. As officials, they all valued their lives very much. These people believed that a gentleman would not stand under a collapsing wall. If Jiang Fei had not been the first to walk in, they really would not have wanted to go in.
However, these people knew Jiang Fei's temper too well. They knew that if they dared to stay outside and not go in, their official hats would be gone. Moreover, this ruthless superior might even bear a grudge against them, and they might even be sent to prison.
Therefore, in fear of Jiang Fei's tyranny, although these people were a little afraid, they gritted their teeth and followed Jiang Fei in.
After entering the building, Jiang Fei walked all the way up. Other than the obvious signs of battle on the first floor, everything was fine on the second floor. As the sheriff's troops had gone straight to the underground, the upper floors did not suffer much damage.
Although there was not much damage, the main structure of the building had been damaged. Although it had not collapsed, its sturdiness was no longer up to standard. Therefore, it was inevitable that it would be demolished and rebuilt.
After pretending to patrol the building twice, Jiang Fei led the group down to the underground building.
"Hiss …"
"This is too scary …"
"Oh my god, this is such a brutal fight …"
…
As soon as they entered the underground building, the mouths of the bureaucrats around Jiang Fei twitched. Although the corpses had been cleared out, the traces of battle were still very obvious. The entire first floor of the underground building was filled with bullet holes and craters.
Several pillars responsible for supporting the building had been destroyed, and the entire underground building was not as stable as before.
"Go back and call a team of government construction workers over. Let them first reinforce these load-bearing pillars," Jiang Fei said to an official from the construction department.
"Yes! My Lord! " The official felt as if he had been pardoned. He also saw that the underground building was full of hidden dangers. It was a great thing to be able to escape from here. Therefore, after receiving the order, the kid jogged all the way back to the surface.
"Let's go down and take a look." Jiang Fei took the lead and went down to the second basement floor. The bureaucrats behind him looked at each other. Although no one wanted to take the risk, they did not dare to say anything. They had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Jiang Fei down.
In the second level of the basement, the battle here was just as intense. There were bullet holes everywhere, and there were also some mecha parts that had not been cleared out in time.
"There must have been a lot of casualties in the battle here," an official said as he looked at the large pool of blood by his feet.
"It's worse than you can imagine." The military police and security guards in charge of guarding the Life Extension Center were almost completely wiped out. Jiang Fei could be said to be the only survivor at that time. Apart from him, everyone else had been killed by the clones that had barged in.
"These security guards are really brave. They actually fought to the last moment like official military police!" A female official said.
"There's no way out. We have to fight to the death!" Jiang Fei said from the front. The security guards did not have as strong a fighting spirit as the official military police. However, the problem was that the clones did not accept surrender. There was only one exit in the underground building of the Life Extension Center, which was the entrance from which the clones had attacked.
Under such circumstances, the security guards had no choice but to fight to the death. They had no way out, and the clones did not accept surrender. If they did not fight to the death, they would be killed with their hands raised. Who would not resist?
In the battle, some people were not very brave, but they had no other choice.
"But no matter what, they are also protecting the lifeline of our Gamma Dimension," the female official said.
"Yes!" Jiang Fei nodded. He also felt a little sad when he said this because his companions had also died here.
As they walked down, they could clearly feel that the intensity of the battle was decreasing with each floor they went down. This was because the clones who broke in were a lone army. As they continued to break in, although they were unstoppable, they were also constantly suffering losses. Therefore, their combat power was also declining.
If the underground building of the Life Extension Center was two floors deeper, if there were more security guards and military police stationed here, the clones might have failed. If that was the case, they would not have had the chance to break into the core of the Life Extension Center and have the chance to activate the clones.
However, in reality, there were not so many ifs. The clones had succeeded. They had successfully activated a large number of clones and brought them out through the portal.
Unfortunately, the sheriff made a mistake when he made his decision. If they had held on to the city and not retreated, if they had not attacked the D5 industrial zone after retreating, if they had attacked the granary or other important nodes instead, it would have been hard to say what would have happened.
However, a series of mistakes led to the archon winning in the end. The sheriff was forced to take a risk and let Nicole bring people to assassinate the archon. In the end, Jiang Fei betrayed them at the last minute. In the end, they lost everything.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fei asked casually, "By the way, do you know how the sheriff is doing now?"
"He's still locked up, right? I heard that there will be a public trial. The evidence has almost been collected. If it weren't for this mess, he would have been put on trial a long time ago, "an official said.
"Hehe …" Jiang Fei laughed. Regarding the collection of evidence and the public trial, everyone knew that it was just a formality. Since ancient times, the winner took all. Now that the sheriff had lost, he naturally had to be guilty of whatever crime he was accused of. As for the evidence, wasn't it just a matter of making it up?
Moreover, Jiang Fei also felt that the public trial of the sheriff and Lina would be coming soon. This was because the archon really needed to divert the people's emotions. Now that the Gamma Dimension had suffered a catastrophe, all the people had suffered losses, be they rich or poor. Therefore, everyone needed a place to vent their anger.
At present, all the people were dissatisfied with the government because they felt that the financial crisis was the cause of the financial crisis. The reason for the financial crisis was the government's incompetence. Now, the archon hoped to use the sheriff's trial to shift the blame to them.
At that time, as long as they said that all the losses were caused by the sheriff's rebellion, and the cause of the financial crisis was caused by the sheriff's remaining forces stealing the Moon Crystal, the anger of the people would be transferred to the sheriff, and the government would be relieved.
