Chapter 564 Betrayer
"...Okay." Uriah sighed and nodded.
Then, he turned around and left with some disappointment. Enzo was the real controller of the garbage dump, so even as a former partner, Uriah could only carry out his orders unconditionally.
After getting the first batch of materials, Enzo took action.
The construction technology of the plane portal is not a secret in the wizarding world. It has been announced to the world a long time ago. Therefore, Enzo recorded the portal information on the chip during his apprenticeship.
The real problem in building a portal is the materials.
When the Phantom Crows obtained the coordinates of the forest world, they carried out a unilateral construction of the portal. They spent a lot of resources from the college and even borrowed money from the parliament before finally completing the construction of the portal.
Today, Enzo's conditions are even worse.
Thinking of building a portal in a world with scarce resources is no more than a dream for most people. Fortunately, Enzo has chip assistance and controls three Orain cores.
"At least, we don't have to worry about energy issues." Enzo murmured to himself.
The energy in the core of Oraine is formed by the heart of the world. It is equivalent to the compression and fusion of the power of the entire world, reaching almost infinite power. One core of Oraine is enough to support a floating city floating in the air all year round. .
After formulating the plan for the portal, Enzo took action.
The original strategic direction has been completely disrupted. Everyone in the entire garbage dump has been mobilized to fully support the portal plan. Enzo has also begun a life of leaving early and returning late every day, shuttling back and forth between the shelter and the garbage dump.
Now that we understand the nature of Orain's core.
Then, the Star Island floating city plan was naturally completely abandoned. Enzo no longer needed the floating city as a foundation, so he went to the garbage dump alone, used the Red Bee mecha to open a passage, and sent a large number of Demon Fighter Knights into the depths of the garbage dump.
When those Demon Fighting Knights who were originally scavengers saw the floating city deep in the garbage dump, almost everyone was completely shocked. The floating city that fell into the pit seemed to be an existence that did not belong to this world. .
At that moment, all the Demon Fighting Knights were excited.
They all thought they had an opportunity. Since the floating city was right in front of them, did it mean that these scavengers struggling in the wasteland would have the opportunity to become high-ranking heavenly beings in the future.
The floating city is the dream of all wastelanders!
In the perception of the wastelanders, the floating city is the hope of mankind. There are inexhaustible resources there. Everyone should not worry about food. They can fill their stomachs even without doing any work.
Simply put, the floating city is paradise.
Therefore, when the floating city appeared in front of the scavengers, everyone thought they had the key to heaven.
But then, Enzo shattered their illusions.
Because the first order he gave to the scavengers was to demolish the fallen floating city. The scavengers couldn't believe their ears, but under Enzo's authority, they had to carry out the order.
It took several months for the Star Island Floating City to be dismantled.
"With these materials, the probability of building a portal can be increased by at least 10%."
Looking at the dismantled Star Island Floating City, Enzo nodded with satisfaction. The portal project has become the key to his conquering the Aquamarine World and competing with the Starscream Organization, so it is a top priority.
After a floating city is dismantled, the materials that can be used to build the portal are not even one ten thousandth, but for Enzo, it is a crucial thing.
…
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
Aquamarine, garbage dump.
The ruins that were once mechanical tombs have completely disappeared. A fortress-like city has risen from the ground, with a thousand-meter-high mechanical gate. The area behind the fortress is full of steampunk-like feeling.
At the same time, underground shelter 65.
In a dark environment, a group of people gathered here. Almost half of the bosses in the entire garbage dump shelter were here, discussing something intensely.
"We have to stop this!"
"It's easy to say, but what to do?"
"That guy has gone completely crazy, I can't be buried with him!"
The bosses of several shelters were talking all at once. Their expressions were a little excited, but there was a trace of fear in their eyes.
"Have you considered the consequences of betraying Enzo?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and the surrounding area fell into silence. Everyone looked forward, where a thin man was sitting.
That person is Uriah.
At this time, Uriah has grown up, but her appearance has not changed much, except that her face is expressionless and her eyes are cold and indifferent to life and death.
Seeing everyone fall into silence, a trace of ridicule flashed in Uriah's eyes.
"You only have this little courage, and you still want to resist the tyrant?" Uriah sighed with a disappointed expression on his face.
"Tell me what to do, Boss Uriah!" At this time, a bald man suddenly spoke and asked through gritted teeth.
Uriah was silent, with a strange flash in his eyes.
Ten years have passed in Aquamarine World. In such a long time, too many things have happened. The garbage dump is no longer full of garbage, and has been replaced by a fortress that is only one-fifth complete.
What's more important is the change in people's mentality.
Enzo unified the entire garbage dump with his powerful strength, but his subsequent actions became a bit crazy. Not only was he an enemy of the Starscream Organization and the Hope Government, but he also acted like a dictator.
Tyrant is what everyone calls him privately!
"Why did it become like this?"
Uriah murmured to himself, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes. Even though he was smart, he couldn't understand why Enzo changed completely after becoming the ruler of the garbage dump.
"I'll stop you, for everyone's sake!"
Uriah took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually became firm.
In ten years, Enzo has done too many things. If the act of clearing the garbage dump and building the fortress is for better rule, then gathering everyone's efforts to build that meaningless mechanical gate is This is completely paranoid and extreme behavior.
It was the mechanical gate that made Uriah decide to resist.
Enzo insisted on building the mechanical gate, wasting almost nine-tenths of the resources of the garbage dump, but it did not show any use, and instead made the survivors of the garbage dump cry everywhere.
Almost everyone was dissatisfied with Enzo.
Uriah also lobbied Wayne and others to collectively persuade Enzo not to have his own way, but it was of no use. Enzo, who ruled the garbage dump, was like a dictator and did not accept anyone's suggestions.
"Perhaps, he has gone crazy." A trace of sadness flashed in Uriah's eyes.
The construction of the Mechanical Gate has almost brought down the garbage dump, not to mention the threats from the outside world such as the Hope Government and Starscream. If Enzo continues to insist on his own way, then the survivors of the entire garbage dump will become his burial objects.
It was precisely because of these things that Uriah decided to betray Enzo.
He first united those who were dissatisfied with Enzo, and secretly contacted the Hope government, intending to use strong methods to seize control of Enzo and completely end the era of tyrant dictatorship.
"Everyone, go back and get ready."
After a long while, Uriah spoke slowly and said in a deep voice: "I have established contact with the Hope Government. When the time is right, we will cooperate internally and externally to seize control of this land."
"When that time comes, hopefully the government will take over the land."
"Perhaps our status will change, but at least we will strive for a chance to survive and end the era of dictatorship by tyrants!" Uriah said in a serious tone.
"Hope for the government? Great!"
"It's finally over!"
"Can it really succeed? Is the Hope Government trustworthy? Don't forget, during the ten years when the garbage dump was ruled by tyrants, we have been enemies of the Hope Government. Can everything we have done really be written off?"
In the underground shelter, some people cheered, while others raised questions.
During the ten years that Enzo had ruled this land, he hoped that the government would issue edicts many times, but they were all rejected. In the eyes of others, Enzo had even reached the point of madness in order to build the Mechanical Gate.
No one knows what his purpose is, and no one can stop him.
Uriah has tried many times, hoping to persuade Enzo not to have his own way, but this makes no sense. Almost every time, Enzo told Uriah that the Mechanical Gate would be of great use.
But Uriah didn't understand what the Mechanical Gate represented.
There was another heated discussion in the shelter. Uriah told everyone the details of the plan and gained everyone's approval. The survivors who were ruled by the tyrant finally decided to resist.
"I hope everything goes smoothly." Uriah murmured in her heart.
Afterwards, everyone left and returned to their own territory to make preparations to resist Enzo.
Uriah also walked out of underground shelter 65.
"Lord Uriah, please come with us."
Just as Uriah returned to underground shelter No. 72, several Demon Fighting Knights suddenly came towards him and said to him.
Uriah's heart sank.
He recognized that these Demon Fighting Knights were all Enzo's direct subordinates. Receiving Enzo's invitation at this time inevitably gave him a lot of ideas.
"Could it be that the matter was exposed?"
Uriah couldn't help but think that this seemed to be the last possible answer. Although Enzo was a dictator, his control over the land was extremely strong, and it seemed that nothing could satisfy him.
After deciding to resist, Uriah was also very cautious. When he contacted the bosses of the major shelters, he always contacted them unilaterally. It was not until just now that the rebels knew that Uriah was the organizer of all this.
"Please!" The Demon Fighting Knights made a gesture of invitation.
Uriah took a deep breath and followed their footsteps, because there was no point in resisting at this time. Even if Uriah's plan was exposed and Enzo learned about it, he would have to face it.
Following the footsteps of the Demon Knight, Uriah entered the fortress.
This giant city has not yet been completed. Except for the central main city area, most places are in a rough state. Uriah walked all the way and soon came to the foot of a tall black tower.
"Is it really Enzo?" A wry smile appeared on Uriah's face.
This tower is at the heart of the fortress city and was the first building Enzo decided to build.
In fact, Uriah didn't understand why Enzo chose the tower.
"Lord Enzo is waiting for you inside."
After bringing Uriah to the entrance of the tower, the Demon Fighting Knights stopped outside. This tower is the core building of this land and is also Enzo's residence. He spends most of his time inside. Very few people are qualified to come in.
In the past ten years, Uriah had not entered the tower many times.
Perhaps when Enzo went his own way and decided to build the Mechanical Gate, the original small team had already drifted away. Uriah disapproved of Enzo's destined to be meaningless Mechanical Gate plan, but she could not disobey his orders. .
"What is supposed to come will come." Uriah sighed.
Afterwards, he walked into the tower. Although he had not been here many times, Uriah was still familiar with the environment here. Following the spiral staircase, Uriah quickly arrived at the top of the tower, in a Enzo was seen in the room.
"You are looking for me." Uriah said expressionlessly.
"Sit down." Enzo looked calm and pointed to the chair next to him. Uriah sat on it, waiting for Enzo's next conversation.
"You went to Vault 65 before, right?" Enzo said straight to the point.
Uriah's heart sank. The worst might have happened. Enzo was looking for him because his plan had been exposed. For a moment, Uriah's thoughts changed, but in the end they all turned into a sigh.
"It seems you already know." Uriah said slowly.
"You mean, you are uniting with the bosses of the twenty-seven shelters and planning to attack the garbage dump with the Hope Government?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
Uriah's face was expressionless, and she didn't have any luck in her heart.
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." After a while, Uriah said quietly.
In the past ten years, Enzo's control over this land has reached a level that others cannot understand. It seems that no disturbance can be hidden from his eyes, and everyone seems to be under surveillance.
"Why betray me?" Enzo asked with a chuckle.
There was no trace of anger on his face, and he acted very calmly. Enzo had known about Uriah's plan with the shelter bosses from the beginning. The reason why he only revealed it now was because he found it troublesome.
"I don't want everyone to die with you."
Uriah's voice was cold and he said, "I don't know if you are crazy. You have spent all the resources in the garbage dump to build that useless mechanical door. What is the meaning of it?"
"The resources of this land have been almost depleted. If you continue to go your own way, death will be the only thing waiting for everyone. I have indeed contacted the Hope Government and intend to subvert your rule, but that is all for the sake of everyone!"
